954、人们活在肉身时所沉溺的幻想在来世会转化为其它相对应的幻觉。例如，对那些在世时就暴力无情的人来说，其暴力和无情会转化为难以置信的残忍；他们觉得自己似乎击倒了他们所遇到的任何同伴，以各种方式折磨他们，并从中获得如此多的乐趣，以至于这些事就是他们最大的快乐。那些嗜血成性的人则以折磨其他灵人，甚至让他们流血为乐，因为他们以为灵人是世人，不知道别的。一看到血（这是他们的幻想，即他们似乎看到了血），他们就欣喜若狂。贪婪会滋生幻想，让灵人以为自己似乎被老鼠之类的东西侵扰，这取决于贪婪的种类。那些以纯粹的感官享受为快乐，视它们为最终目的、至高良善和他们的“天堂”之人，以呆在厕所里为最大快乐，觉得在那里最愉快。有的喜欢臭气熏天的尿池；有的喜欢肮脏的地方，等等。

[NCE]954. In the next life, the fantasies that people have had during physical life alter, although the new fantasies still correspond to the old ones. Some people, for instance, were ruthless and violent on earth. Their violence and lack of mercy turns into unbelievable cruelty, and whenever they happen upon an acquaintance, they seem to themselves to kill the person. They also torture the person in various ways that bring them great satisfaction — so great that these are their supreme pleasures.
People who had been bloodthirsty take delight in abusing spirits to the point of drawing blood; they suppose that the spirits are mortal, not knowing any better. When they see blood (such is their fantasy that they seem to see blood), they are in ecstasy.
Greed spurs a proliferation of fantasies in which spirits seem to be overrun by rats and other vermin, depending on the variety of greed.
Those who enjoyed pleasures that were purely sensual and who regarded these as the ultimate goal, the highest good, and their "heaven," linger with utmost delight in latrines, sensing intense pleasure there. Some spend their time in puddles of foul-smelling urine, some in muck, and so on.

954. The phantasies which have been indulged in the life of the body are turned in the next life into others, which, however, correspond to the first. For example, with those who have been violent and merciless on earth, their violence and unmercifulness are turned into incredible cruelty; and they seem to themselves to kill whatever companions they meet, and to torture them in various ways, wherein they take what is to them the greatest possible delight. Those who have been bloodthirsty take delight in torturing other spirits, even to bloodshed, for they suppose spirits to be men, not knowing otherwise. At the sight of blood-for such is their phantasy that they as it were see blood-they are greatly delighted. From avarice there break forth phantasies as if they were infested with mice, and the like, according to the species of avarice. Those who have been delighted with mere pleasures, having these as their ultimate end, as their highest good, and as it were their heaven, find their highest delight in staying in privies, perceiving there what is most enjoyable. Some take delight in urinous and noisome pools, some in miry places, and so on.

954. The delusions that have been present during a person's lifetime are converted in the next life into different though corresponding delusions. For example, people who on earth have been violent and pitiless have their violence and lack of pity converted into unbelievable cruelty; and to themselves they seem to strike down any fellow spirits they meet and to torment them in various ways, in which they take so much pleasure that such exploits constitute their greatest delights. Those who have been bloodthirsty take delight in tormenting other spirits even to the point of spilling their blood; for not knowing otherwise, they imagine that spirits are men. At the sight of blood - such being their delusion that they actually see what looks like blood - they are extremely delighted. Avarice gives rise to delusions of seeming to be infested by mice and the like, depending on the form which avarice takes. Those who have found satisfaction in mere earthly pleasures, regarding these as their final aim, highest good, and so to speak their heaven, find it their highest delight to loiter in public latrines, where they find it most enjoyable. Some delight in urinous and stinking pools, others in mucky places, and so on.

954. Phantasiae quae fuerunt in vita corporis, in altera vita vertantur in alias, quae tamen illis correspondent; sicut qui in terra violenti fuerant et immisericordes, eorum violentia et immisericordia vertitur in crudelitatem incredibilem, et videntur sibi socios quoscumque offendunt, occidere et diversis modis cruciare, quibus tantopere delectantur ut sint talia eorum summae jucunditates. Qui sanguinolenti fuerunt, ii delectantur cruciare spiritus, nam putant spiritus esse homines, non aliter sciunt, usque ad sanguinem, quo viso, nam talis est phantasia eorum ut quasi sanguinem videant, maximopere delectantur. Ex avaritia erumpunt phantasiae, quod videantur infestari a muribus et similibus secundum speciem avaritiae. Qui delectati sunt meris voluptatibus quas pro ultimo fine, summo bono et quasi suo caelo habuerunt, delectantur maxime morari in latrinis, ibi jucundissimum percipientes; quidam in urinosis et graveolentibus stagnis, quidam in luteis, et sic porro.
