920. THOSE WHO RELATE TO THE BONES IN WHICH THE VITAL MOTIONS TERMINATE AS IN THEIR FULCRA There are some in the life of the body, and also in the other life after the life of the body, who, from causes in themselves, think only in a general manner, or do not have their thought determined to any definite thing; thus they are as distracted as though they were not in the body. Such spirits have induced upon me a similar general idea, without any objects to which the thought might be determined. Such are those who relate to the bones in man. They are also slow and dull-witted nor can anything be fixed in their memory except in a determinate state, consequently neither can anything be brought forth therefrom. 1748, Feb. 21. There is with them not only a sluggishness in their employments, but also a dullness in judging and acting. Still, there is nothing intranquil; for cares do not penetrate, being dissipated as it were into a general idea and perishing. They are not malicious.
