320. When they come into that state it is their state of sleep, for while they live in that same state, they know no otherwise than that they are living [in the body]; when they are in that state they then suppose, that it is their state of wakefulness. But their state of wakefulness exists, or begins to exist, when they recognize that they are in the other life, and not in the life of the body or of the world. 1747, Dec. 9.
