919. Their lot after life is restless. They can have no peace, and they are also annoying to others; wherefore they must by all means be brought back, through suitable anxieties, into better states.

919 1/2. Those discussed here are of the sort that is intermediate between the good lymph and the waste lymph of the brain. Relating to the waste lymph, are those who draw spiritual truths down into earthly things and thereby defile them, so that they end up in filth, as has just been shown to me. These are in front at a distance, rather high up, at the right side of the nose. They have the habit of taking spiritual and heavenly truths, and drawing them down toward earthly filth.
