2292. All this experience shows that young children do not enter the angelic state immediately after death but that they are brought into it gradually by means of cognitions of good and truth, and that this is done in accordance with complete heavenly order. For the smallest details of everything that is part of their innate disposition are perceived there most perfectly, and as accords with every single impulse of their inclinations they are moved to receive the truths that are grounded in good and the goods that flow through truth, all of which takes place under the constant guidance of the Lord.
