From actual and quite sensate experience, I have learned that the auras, as they are called [262], where human souls abide after the death of the body, interrelate entirely with the human members; specifically, the heavenly domain with a person's head, but the lower ones with the loins, and the lowest with the feet. For this reason, when I was let down once again into the lower place without the angelic column around me [228], then it was granted me to perceive sensorially that the lower place, where there were souls, corresponded to the feet, so that the lowest place must correspond to the soles of the feet, or to the region under the soles - which, however, I was unable to perceive because I was not let down that deeply. But also by the Mercy of God the Messiah, it was granted me to feel that the souls were emerging from the lower places and thus coming into the last heaven (in the lower place I spoke with them, also when they were rising up), and that they also gave expression to their gladness at being delivered from their bonds, and from the pit. 1747, the 28th day of November.
