In the life of the body mental images are gathered from various sources and woven together, both of earthly matters and of spiritual ones. These are examined as to what elements have been ingested in each image, for each one contains an infinity of them. Therefore such as the component elements of the mental image are, thus unlimited in number, such is the life a person is allotted after death. For a person or a person's spirit is of the same quality as his or her ideation. 1748, 19 July.
