2249. Besides this, there is a kind of reflection in a person on earth, a soul, a spirit, and an angel, of which they are unaware and which they do not observe, as when they are in a state of peace, of innocence regarding bodily matters, or in a state of ignorance, and the like: then there is this reflection in regard to the tiniest details to which they pay no attention whatever, yet on which are imprints useful to them in the other life, and conducive to their happiness. This is an inner reflection, unknown to a person on earth, like the inward memory, or like a person's regeneration; and these reflections are gifts of the Lord Alone.
