2547. Souls in the other life are at first more or less wandering in regard to their place
Those are called souls who have not yet been assigned a place in the greatest body. They are sometimes wandering, for some time being below to the right, for some of the time below to the left, at times above the head, quite high up toward various quarters, sometimes also near the head. Thus they are those who have not yet been assigned a place in the greatest body, because they are in a changing state. For there are bodily elements adhering to them that are being aroused. Consequently, they are raised up higher and toward different quarters-for which reason I called them the "still wandering ones"-but are afterwards allotted a place, where they remain, albeit still undergoing change that lasts rather long, depending on the status of their reformation. 1748, 6 July.
