11. The state of man as to the will or love is not changed after death. The reason is because it is his life.
So also as to charity.
The state of man as to the understanding is changed, and it is changed according to the love of the will.
A man in the world may think that he is in heaven on account of the understanding, when yet he is not.
Therefore the truths and goods in his understanding are taken away, because they do not agree with the love of the will.
