951. People who during their lifetime have imagined themselves to be holy are on the lower earth in front of the left foot. On occasions they seem to themselves there to have a shining face, which is a product of such notions of their own holiness. But the outcome for them is that they are kept there, on the lower earth, in the greatest desire to rise up into heaven, which they imagine to be up on high. Their desire grows and is converted more and more into an anxiety which increases enormously till they acknowledge that they are not holy. When they are taken away from that place they are allowed to perceive their own stench, which is dreadful.
