"After death we all lead the same kind of life we led in the world. This life cannot be changed, except that the [inward] things that delighted our heart become corresponding [external circumstances] after death.
So the lives of the people we are talking about here are just like the lives they had led in the world, with the sole difference that now things hidden in their hearts are revealed.
These people are now in the spirit, where the things dwell that lie behind their thoughts and intentions-things they kept concealed in the world underneath a covering of outward holiness.
Since their inner selves are now visible, it has become clear that more than half of the clergy who have claimed the power to open and close heaven are absolute atheists."
