177. It was instilled into my mind that the angels maintain whatever religious and holy thoughts a person is having at the moment of death. It was also instilled that people who are dying are normally thinking about eternal life and hardly at all about physical health and happiness. The angels therefore uphold them in the thought of eternal life.
