5382. I have learned from experience on many occasions that those who constitute the province of the kidneys and ureters are ready to explore and examine closely other people's characters to discover what their thoughts are and what their wishes are. They desire to find out the reasons why those people think and wish the way they do and to arouse a sense of guilt over any faults these may have, their primary purpose being to administer correction; and I have talked to such spirits about this desire and purpose of theirs. Many of their kind were judges when they lived in the world, at which time they felt glad at heart when they found the reason which, they believed, justly warranted the imposition of a fine, correction, or punishment. The work of such spirits is also felt in the region of one's back, where the kidneys, ureters, and bladder are situated. Those who belong to the bladder extend down towards Gehenna, where also some of them sit like a court of law.
