314. MAN'S ENTRY INTO ETERNAL LIFE - continued

After an awakened person, that is, a soul, has been provided with the benefit of light so that he is able to look around him, the spiritual angels mentioned already render him every kindly service he could possibly wish for in that state. They also tell him about the things that exist in the next life, but only insofar as he is able to take it in. If he has had faith, and if he desires it, they also show him the marvels and splendours of heaven.
