395. THAT DELIGHTS CAN BE TRANSMITTED FROM ONE TO MANY In the other life it is wonderful that not only can the delights of one be communicated with many others by speech and expressions, hence following according to the sensations of each one's genius; but also that the delights, by a real transmission into others, are able to affect them, which derives its origin from the heavenly marriage; hence the delights of earthly marriages, and also the communications between consorts. 1747, Dec. 25. mIn heaven this is effected by the Lord, through the ideas of speech, also through their mutual love, in that everyone gains* or desires the good of the other, which is a transmission from the Lord.n * The word here rendered "gains" is the Swedish word Winnar (not vunar as in the Latin text) and means to gain, acquire, win. This sentence in the margin was evidently added when Swedenborg was indexing.
