1097. The celestial are such that they do not say anything, but at that time only signify their thoughts or interiors by communications with the face, on which they induce faces similar to their own, so that one can very clearly perceive in himself these other faces. On two occasions I perceived that another face was induced upon me, and it was said in their own way, that it was the face of the celestial who were seated at my head thus there were two faces. In this way they know whether the man is dead or not; for if their faces which have been induced are acknowledged as theirs, they then know that the man is dead.
