867. CONCERNING THE TORMENT OF SPIRITS WHO DESIRE TO BE ON HIGH There are certain spirits or troops of spirits who wander about, and from time to time return to the same places. Souls and spirits greatly fear them, for they torment them with a certain kind of torture. Later, I was instructed that these are the spirits who represent the fundus, or upper part of the bladder in general, namely, those parts which there enter into the bladder, as the umbilical ligaments, the muscles, and the nerves which from there are spread out and concentrate toward the sphincter. They are, therefore, the same as those spirits who were with me today, who relate to the sphincter of the cervix [of the bladder], or the entrance towards the urethra, for their torture is like the twisting of the sphincter, and this continuously from the beginning to the outlet of the urethra.
