306. THAT MEN RISE AGAIN NOT LONG AFTER THE DEATH OF THE BODY I conversed today with someone whom I had known in the life of the body, who recognized himself from his image reawakened in my imagination as of a living person; also from some things represented which he recognized, and this about five months after his death. At first, indeed, he could not know or recall much, because spirits were not adjoined to him; but after spirits were adjoined he then returned as it were into a full understanding and recollection. 1747, Dec. 5.
