What the disposition of spirits from the planet Mercury is like may become even more apparent from the following descriptions. It should be realized that all spirits, however many there may be, were once men, for the inhabitants of heaven come from the human race; and also that spirits are in character exactly like what they were when they lived in the world, since everyone brings his life with him. This being so, the disposition of people on any planet whatever may be recognized from the disposition of the spirits who come from there.
