524. The first from among the inhabitants of our planet to come to them was one of the worst spirits from the inhabitants of our planet. He could not approach them, for they felt at once that he was evil, even though he was practicing his cunning. Later another came who was good; him they welcomed, and liked to associate with him. Still another came, who was of an in-between character, not yet improved, and they did not want to admit him either. Thus they sense at once what those who come to them are like. So they are kept at a distance from them.
