1115. CONTINUATION CONCERNING THE STATE OF THE DYING When the good spirits who are of the province of the eye seem to themselves to roll off the little membranes of the eye towards the septum of the nose, there then appears to the soul a kind of light, but obscure, as when man on first waking looks through his eyelids and sees a certain luminosity. But the soul still lies in a state as if between wakefulness and sleep because he is guarded by the celestial, thus he is in a tranquil state, for the state of the celestial is a tranquil one. When there is this looking as though through the membrane of the eye, there appears something shady, of a heavenly color, with a little star; but these things occur with variety.
