They who had loved a promiscuous life, secretly practicing loose sexuality, likewise seem to themselves to dwell in underground places, like little rooms, furnished with candles, and in fact with women resembling those who were* [the objects] of their lewd promiscuity in secret. For fantasies take over when they depart from this life, and are turned into scenes of this kind. But they too are plagued, in a manner suited to the degree and motive of their promiscuities, as if by mice, and by the type of foul insects that the intentions of their lewdness had inwardly been. And even if they do not know that their intentions had been of this nature, yet these are now revealed to them in the form of foul insects and suchlike, until they abstain from them. For souls are at first led by means of fantasies, from which they are gradually turned away. Thus instead of sensual pleasure they are allotted dreadful fantasies, which then take hold on them, until they so detest the sensual pleasures that they want nothing more of them, and therefore finally turn away from them, even abhor them. So [the fantasies] are according to one's motives, or hidden loves. 1747, the 24th day of December. * The original has "sunt," which we understand to mean "are [in their earthly life...]."
