231. [234.] 94. A person after death comes into the world of spirits, which is midway between heaven and hell, and there he passes from society to society, and so is prepared either for heaven or for hell. This passage appears as a relocation from one place to another, and also to involve traveling. The person goes to various zones, sometimes ascending to more elevated places, sometimes descending to lower ones; and that is how he perceives it, even though the changes are only changes of state. (So it has been with me when I have been in the spirit.) Finally then, when the person has been prepared, he is at that point led by the love which is at the head of his other loves, and he turns his face toward the society where his dominant love is found and goes there as though to his home.
