483. Further about compatibility among spirits, and their simultaneous action

When it has been made evident by various methods that spirits are in agreement, they join together and act at one, for they are brought together of their own accord. So it is that spirits find out who and what they are, and actually by a kind of instinct. I do not know all their methods of testing [souls], for there are many. Those spirits who are similar are brought together, the rest dissociated.
