490. From these things it can be known that the delights of all are changed after death into their correspondences, while the love itself continues to eternity. This is true of conjugial love, of the love of justice, honesty, goodness and truth, the love of knowledges and of cognitions, the love of intelligence and wisdom, and the rest. From these loves, delights flow like streams from their fountain; and these continue; but when raised from natural to spiritual delights they are exalted to a higher degree.
