7804. The spirits however who instruct come likewise to those people's left side, but more towards the front of them. They too reproach them, but in a gentler way, and then teach them how they are to conduct their lives. They too have a dark appearance, but they do not look like clouds as the first kind of spirits do. Instead they appear to be dressed in sackcloth. These are called instructors, whereas the first kind are called chastisers.
