I spoke with new spirits, specifically about bodies. They supposed just as others do that they were clothed with a body like the human body, for their imaginative faculty and inward humanity leads them to that point, namely to the ultimate of order, which is the body. But it was given me to reply to them that I do not know in what kind of body they are, only that they are most perfectly shaped for every use, so they could be called spiritual, and heavenly, forms. This was symbolically confirmed by the little worms that being transformed and becoming winged, then obtain a different bodily form adapted to every use to which they are borne in their second lifetime. 1748, 25 Aug.
