It was shown above (222-225, 386-397) what is meant by the spheres of many kinds, and how those of love and wisdom emanate from the Lord, and passing through the heavens of angels come down into the world and reach the lowest levels in it. It was also shown above (425) that there is nothing in the universe, which does not have its opposite. It follows from this that the existence of a sphere of conjugial love implies the existence of an opposing sphere, what is called that of scortatory love. For these spheres are opposed, just as the love of adultery is opposed to the love of marriage. This opposition was discussed in the earlier sections of this chapter.
