1102. It was said to me that the thoughts a person entertains at the point of death persist and are retained, namely, those that are holy and devout. This was also shown to me because of certain thoughts of mine which were retained in the same way. They ask especially, as I was told, about eternal life, but few about salvation or happiness. It is mainly eternal life that is kept in mind, and they are held in that thought by the heavenly [angels].
