AE 751
For every person with whom the interior mind,
which is called the spiritual mind,
has been opened,
is in the heavens,
yea, sometimes he even appears among the angels in the heavens.
That this is so has not been known heretofore in the world;
let it be known, therefore,
that a person in respect to his spirit is among spirits and angels,
and even in that society of them into which he is to come after death.
This is because the spiritual mind of a person
is formed wholly to the image of heaven,
even so that it is a heaven in least form;
consequently that mind, although it is still in the body,
must nevertheless be where its form is.
AE 753
. . . for when a person becomes spiritual
he has communion with the heavens,
and receives goods therefrom,
and goods
received from the Lord through heaven
remove evils,
which is effected solely by means of a life
according to the commandments from the Word.
