2540. Conversation with spirits about the transference of human beings into the other life
Very often spirits have been amazed that they were in the other life, supposing they must be in the life of the body because to them there is no difference so long as they are not given to reflect. So they have often been surprised when I have told them they were spirits, supposing that they were in the life of the body, as discussed previously [1984, 2031-2032 and elsewhere].
2540. A CONVERSATION WITH SPIRITS CONCERNING THE TRANSLATION OF MAN INTO THE OTHER LIFE.
Spirits often wondered that they were in the other life, supposing they were in the life of the body, because to them there is no difference when reflection is not given; thus they often wondered when I told them they were spirits, supposing they are in the life of the body, concerning which thing [I have treated] previously.
2540. Loquela cum spiritibus de hominum translatione in alteram vitam
Saepius mirati sunt spiritus, quod essent in altera vita, putantes se fore in vita corporis quia nulla iis differentia, cum nulla datur reflexio, sic saepe mirati sunt, cum dixerim iis quod spiritus essent, putantes se in vita corporis esse, de qua re prius [1984, 2031-2032 et alibi].
