2058. There were still others who were also raised up into heaven, one, in fact, of my acquaintances in life, who was too dumbfounded to describe the Word's glory, declaring compassionately that it was amazing that people did not have the least knowledge or inkling of these matters. They were allowed to look into my thoughts and feelings, and they claimed, as I also discerned, that they knew more in regard to thoughts than anyone could imagine, as well as what causes them, which a person on earth can never really know. He or she pays no attention to them-to where these or those, or other elements [of thought] come from, as, for example, when I was writing these words, how the things being written were brought in either by grace, or by permission.
