275. Even in the inward heaven* there are habitations for those who believe they are living in a kind of earthly paradise

I was also guided to one habitation that is even in the inward heaven, which habitation can be called that of the blessed; for they have such a blessed and pleasant life of imagery, that they seem to themselves to be in paradise and to be enjoying delights like those of an earthly paradise, together with manifold gladness. It was granted me to see a glimpse of their garden, not from very close by. 1747, the 29th day of November. * See 262, footnote 3.
