804. The Dutch are easily distinguished from others in the spiritual world, because they are to be seen wearing similar clothes to those they wore in the natural world, with the difference that those who have received a spiritual faith and way of life have smarter clothes. The reason they wear similar clothes is that they cling so resolutely to their religious principles, and it is these which determine what everyone in the spiritual world wears. So those who possess Divine truths are dressed there in white garments and fine linen.
