5562. Those who are released from vastations and correlate with the purposes served by the bones do not have any clear and precise ideas, only general and most imprecise ones. They are like those who are called the distracted, not fully in their bodies so to speak. They are sluggish, dim witted, and stupid; they are slow at grasping anything at all. What is more, they frequently lack any feelings of uneasiness because anxious cares do not get through to them but become lost in their overall dull-wittedness.
