1381. Souls and spirits who have not yet been allotted a permanent position in the Grand Man are conveyed to different places - now this way, now that - and are seen now on one side and now on another, above or below. They are called wandering souls or spirits and are compared to the fluids in the human body that surge up from the stomach, sometimes into the head, sometimes into other parts, and are carried around. This is what happens to these spirits before they reach the appointed place and position in keeping with their own general state. It is their states which alter and wander in this fashion.
