2350. Therefore, what belongs to people remains, so they think it is their own, and the life they had in the body remains, but it is more beautiful, more pleasant and happier. This is further shown by the fact that their fantasies are turned into lovely kinds of imaginative displays, which also remain with angels. There are very beautiful, and very pleasing displays, and within these and thus from them, happiness. The very displays themselves are fantasies turned into beautiful, pleasing mental imagery, and because they contain happiness, it comes forth from them, besides other qualities beyond number. 1748, 17 June.
