3127. Variations of feelings without mental imagery

I have experienced-although several times previously without reflecting-that feelings can act and be varied as to their effect, without mental images; thus that there are countless states of feelings, with their varieties and sequences, which are the beginnings of thoughts that the person cannot, however, ever perceive without mental images-therefore that heavenly states are of that nature, from which [come] spiritual things. 1748, 12 Sept.
