608. In the state of that glorying in which I was for nearly a day - or half a day - I had no idea of any particular, thus no thought perceptible to me by ideas, because I was in a celebration of the Lord, Who was being glorified in various ways by choirs of angels; yet in such a manner that I seemed to be among them with the head, so that I could thence know those things which are in the sphere of spirits as if in my body. Wherefore it is not surprising that the inhabitants of Jupiter say that the face is not the body, and that they hold their body in light esteem. 1748, Jan. 30.
