8737. The spirits who instruct and chastise, referred to above in 7802 7812, do not go to them as they do to others on that planet, because they do not allow themselves to receive instruction or to be disciplined and corrected. They are rigid, because self-love governs what they do. Spirits say that they know from the coldness that they are such, and that when they feel the coldness they depart from them.
