2909.

This I know, that acquaintances, whether associates or friends or those they worship, find each other in the other life; so let people beware of hatred, revenge, envy, lies, adoration, and the like, for these things in the other life sometimes miserably annoy them. For they come together, that is, those who worship human beings as their protectors, such as Moses, Abraham, Jacob, and others, also the Mohammedans their Mohamed, and so on. They are led to them and speak with them, as also are friends mutually, and then the inward qualities of the friendship are thoroughly laid bare-so let them beware! 1748, 24 Aug.
