2624. But their pleasure has now been turned into that of bad odors, or the stench of human dung, which exhales from there, and which I also smell. And they declare that there is now such a stench, for that is what it is in itself, and in the presence of angels it is turned into that, so that they who are such will end up living in that dung. For it is absolutely that kind of stinking filth in the upright spiritual world, and therefore is turned into that kind of stench. And it is amazing that the spirits around me also smell that filthy stench, just like those on earth in their own body. 1748, 16 July.
