290. Souls after death see their own parents, children, friends, and experience from this an innermost gladness

That souls after death see each other, and join in conversation, and even think it is just as if they were together on earth - in the beginning, that is, before they have been well initiated in spiritual matters - to this I can testify, as well as to the fact that they experience an innermost gladness, provided there had been a mutual love between them in the life of the body. 1747, the 3rd day of December.
