68. I was carried by the Lord by changes of state towards the left, to a certain mountain, where all were naked, wives and husbands. I talked with them at a distance, and they said that all there of either sex were naked, yet no one felt any lascivious lust or desire at the sight of nakedness, though each husband loved his wife tenderly. They said too they could not be together with those who were clothed. They said that the reason was they were all chaste in mind, since they had been so in the world. When a newcomer of such a type arrives from the world, they test him, which is done by his taking off his clothes and stripping himself; then they perceive at once whether he has the true conjugial; and, if not, he is driven away with punishment. They drive them off with blows until they disappear, which they do to a great depth. There was one who thought he was in similar conjugial love, because in the world he had lived chastely with his wife, and had had nothing to do with prostitutes. To begin with he could look on naked women without any emotion; but when he remained gazing for some time, he was deprived of his senses at the sight nakedness, and finally at the touch of it, and remained speechless as if half dead. He was therefore driven away. The reason was that he was not in love to the Lord, and not in the marriage of good and truth. They said that few could come near, because the sphere of conjugial love is such that others cannot endure it. They said that they live in houses with men and women servants who are all married.
