'The first resurrection,' mentioned in Revelation 20:5, 6, does not mean a first resurrection, but the essence and primary part of resurrection, which is salvation and eternal life. There is only one resurrection to life. A second does not happen, and is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible.

4852. About the faculty of sense-perception and its thinking

I was held thinking like those who are engrossed in what appeals to the senses, and it was thinking so crass and so warped that it is impossible to describe. It was totally unfocussed and illogical. Then it was shown that most people today are such that they are incapable of thinking above the level of the senses. Consequently they cannot be diverted from what is sensual but think on the level of the senses when they are speaking and writing, and also when they are listening and looking, some even apart from these activities when they are talking to themselves as recluses do, [the thinking is separated from inner thought,] ¹ . And it was shown that when sense-perceptions cease, they have no thought at all but are taken up with a crass and warped mental image, empty, as it were, of anything, when yet they could then be in the light of heaven and think.
