It has happened a number of times when I was looking at my face in the mirror-something made me do so-that [I perceived] the thoughts of the spirits with me, who were looking at the same time through my eyes. They were thinking nothing else, however, but that they were in a body in the world, believing they must have the same faces they had had in bodily life. Then also, the facial expression being changed somewhat, as far as was possible, into the expression on their own face, they recognized themselves, one after the other. Several became indignant; others thereby realized that they were in the other life-also, by seeing themselves in the mirror, what kind of attitudes they had. Each time, I spoke with them about their attitudes, and they admitted to them. 1748, 28 May.
