I have been shown what a mental image of inward spirits is, as also what that of inward angels is, and this very often indeed, but in order that they might come to my perception and grasp, this was done during sleep and times of early morning wakefulness, the latter being continued right from a dream, for at that time the mind is more separated from the body. The mental image of inward spirits is also inexpressible, but still understandable to those who are separated from the world while living in the body, for it is understandable to spirits who are in that kind of thought. In order to grasp just a notion of it as it was shown to me, it is as if whatever a rock symbolizes is joined together in one idea, in its varied meaning-which varied meaning cannot be ex-pressed in a few words-with whatever a priest in the lower meaning symbolizes. In this way all is grasped together, with its variety, that may reside in the spiritual meaning, and so on. This spread out mental image with all its inexpressible scenery attaches itself to the subject, which in this case was a priest.
