350. THAT EACH AND ALL THINGS CAN BE DEMONSTRATED TO THE LIGHT IN HEAVEN It may perhaps seem wonderful that it is said that many things which are spiritual and celestial can be demonstrated as in mid-day, or as in light, to the souls* who are round about me today. They now say that they see the nature of man, and the like, also how much he possesses of good and evil, of falsity and truth, altogether as if in light, within the subject; also of what quality he was, and of what quality he is in various states. I wanted to note this, because it cannot but strike anyone as something wonderful. * In the Index (s.v. Angelus) this ability to see man's quality is ascribed not to "souls" but to "angels".
