3136. 'And behold, he was standing with the camels' means presence in general facts. This is clear from the meaning of 'standing with' as being present, and from the meaning of 'the camels' as general facts, dealt with in 3048, 3071.

2480. Since people after death use the interior memory, which has previously been part of their rational, those people therefore who in the world have been more skilled at languages than others are unable to summon up one syllable from them. And people who have been more skilled in branches of learning than others cannot summon up a single fact. Indeed these people are sometimes more stupid than others. But whatever they have absorbed through those languages or branches of learning, because it has helped to form their rational, is brought into use by them. It is the rational, acquired by means of languages and learning, that these people after death think and speak from. All a person does who has imbibed falsities through languages or branches of learning, and who has confirmed himself in those falsities, is reason from falsities, whereas the person who has imbibed truths speaks from truths. Affection is what gives life - the affection for evil giving life to falsities and the affection for good giving life to truths. It is from affection that anyone thinks, and nobody thinks without it.
