Spirits seem to themselves to dwell in houses, and bedrooms, all very well furnished with useful objects of every kind and unlimited variety, in keeping with each one's taste. So because they had been introduced to such things during bodily life, they retain a liking for them in the afterlife. Similar objects in unlimited variety are given to them according to each one's inclination and these are then applied to good, for they put them to a use that the Lord determines, and the use at the same time instills rest of mind and innocence. In this way also peace and innocence are imparted to them.
