THIS
diagram illustrates the limbus surrounding the whole spirit of man after
death and serving as a cutaneous envelop to hold the spirit securely
in form to eternity.
F is the gross material body now rejected, the spirit being separated from it and risen into conscious life in the spiritual world.
The natural or external memory of man in the world is seated in the limbus the extreme ultimate of the natural mind. This memory consisting of the states impressed upon the limbus during life in the world, remains after death but is quiescent.
If this diagram be taken to represent the whole angelic heaven, E is their aggregate limbus. Extending the view, E represents the limbus of the spirits of this earth and all earths in the universe regenerate or unregenerate.
