4720. About those who pound

Those who in the life of the body had been righteous and fair in their works and actions, and yet had inwardly acknowledged neither God nor the life after death - thus inwardly had engaged in no worship - appear in the other life to be pounding, but what is thus being pounded is imagined to be flour, but it is human dung, as we read in the prophet [Ezech. 4:12], and tastes urinous. From such a one I also felt a coldness in my ankles, and he was called by spirits a shoemaker, because he abode in outermost earthly qualities, symbolized by shoes.
