225. After the death of the body, our spirit has a human form that is visible in the spiritual world, just as it had a human form that was visible in this world. Our spirit enjoys the abilities to see, hear, speak, and have sensations, just as it did in this world, and is endowed with every faculty of thinking, willing, and doing, just as it was in this world. In a word, we are human beings in absolutely every respect, except that we are not clothed with the dense body we wore in this world. That we leave behind when we die, and we never put it back on.

We have every ability to think, want, and do things that we did in the world. In short, every single bit of us is still a person, except that we are no longer clothed in the crude body we had in the world. We leave that behind when we die, and we never go back to it.

225. Spiritus hominis post mortem corporis apparet in mundo spirituali in forma humana, prorsus sicut in mundo; gaudet etiam facultate videndi, audiendi, loquendi, sentiendique sicut in mundo; et pollet omni facultate cogitandi, volendi, et faciendi, sicut in mundo; verbo, est homo quoad omnia et singula, praeter quod non crasso illo corpore, quo in mundo, circumdatus sit; id relinquit cum moritur, nec usquam reassumit.
