1102. I was told that the thoughts which man entertains at the point of death, namely, those which are holy and pious, adhere and are retained. I was also shown this by certain things I had thought which were retained in like manner. Especially do they inquire about eternal life, as I was told, and few about salvation or happiness. The thought of eternal life is the chief thing which is retained, and they are held in that thought by the celestial.
