872. About a spirit who desired most intensely to come into heaven
A certain spirit from among those of Jupiter came to me and earnestly requested that I intercede on his behalf, so that he could come into heaven. He described his own state: that he was unaware of having committed evil, that he merely threatens the inhabitants of the region, and afterwards instructs them. He was one of those at the left side, below, who speak as if they had a forked tongue. These have been discussed earlier [570].
