1106. When the time is at hand for the spiritual to be associated with them, and they are to live, as it were, the life of the body, then at first come the spirits who are present in the province of the external eye, or of the tunics which envelop the eye, which are between the left eye and the side of the nose, above. These want to roll away, as it were, the tunics or coverings from the eye and enable him to see, which is a sign that the soul is then about to come among the spiritual. These same spirits were also present and showed me how they roll away the tunics that the eye may be opened, but because I was alive they were unable to do this by their endeavor. When the membranes have been rolled away the enjoyment of light is granted.
