877. After this form is put aside, like the calluses spoken of previously [862-65], then the new or inward person arises, who is prepared by the Lord Alone. This is portrayed in the world by little worms being transformed into nymphs, and presently, with the wings given them, flying in their own heaven, or joy, or in the air - having their own heavenly [lives], suited to their nature, and playing amongst themselves, laying eggs, and gathering delightful foods from the flowers appointed for them; besides other circumstances that pertain to them, unknown to us. 1748, 19 February.
