2498. When thinking about the outcome for them, how they turn out in the end, I was shown by a vision that they are finally cast out from the societies of spirits, because they are finally exposed for what they are, and then they sit lonely, only in a society of lonely spirits. This society was portrayed to me in a vision as someone with a wide face, whose body did not appear, whose size and thickness was enough to equal about 4 or 5 faces of others, having a wide, shiny cap of reeds on his head. So they sat fixed in their place, no longer with others. Thus their state also becomes as portrayed, and so also they will appear to themselves, and no longer be in any active life.
