2755. In order that the outward human memories or minds may be vessels of spiritual and heavenly things, it has also been provided by the Lord that no spirit loses anything, not one whit, of what pertains to their earthly mind or memory, and that all, even if they are angels, can be let back into the same and similar states to those of their life in the body. So if the human race should fail, spirits let back into a similar state would be able to serve as vessels, and thus order be perfected. 1748, 6 Aug.
