1125. CONCERNING THOSE WHO ARE FIRST INTROMITTED INTO HEAVEN Those who are intromitted into heaven, both those in the spiritual and those in the celestial class, must also pass through their own series by progressing from one society to another. Those who are intromitted in the celestial class come at once into the society of the serious, for at that time, immediately after vastation, they love nothing more than serious thoughts; when other things interfere they still reject them, and thus they are of a very contented mind [animus], like men who love to dwell upon serious matters. The things which are joyful to others, they do not regard as joyful; but they place their joy and greatest good in serious meditations. They also fix their meditations upon essentials from which they must not turn aside, because they are essentials; thus they do not wander. These things were written when they were present and were indeed the directing means; it can thus be evident from the style that they keep their minds upon essentials and do not wander.
