478. By the fantasies said to be shed with reluctance are meant the [newly arrived] soul's grosser fantasies, that pertain to the body and the earthly mind. Inward ones, however, that are in agreement and thus harmonious with truly heavenly truth and goodness, remain, causing them to live a life as if their own, with heavenly joy and gladness - and this is the rainbow spoken of in Genesis [9:12-17]. Its harmonious symmetry is created, and shaped, by Jesus Christ Alone. 1748, the 15th day of January.
