Today I spoke with someone I had known in the life of the body, who recognized himself from his image, as that of a living person, raised up in my mind's eye; also from some other things displayed mentally that he recognized - and this after a period of about 5 months from when he had died. Of course, he did not know or remember much at first, because spirits had not been attached to him; but after spirits had been attached to him, he came back into a seemingly complete understanding and recollection. 1747, the 5th day of December.
