20. CONJUGIAL LOVE (Amor conjugiulis).--(See the second Index.)

There is a universal sphere of conjugial love, filling both worlds (2 [CL 90, 222, 225]).

Man after death is his own love and the wisdom therefrom (9-12 [CL 34, 36]).

Man is his own love, and love is the man (9 [CL 35, 39]). The love of the spirit, or of the internal man, remains after death (10 [CL 34-36, 46]);

But not the external (11 [CL 35]).

There is not love without knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom (12 [CL 134]).

Something about the love of heaven and the love of hell (13). (Concerning the love of the sex, see SEX.)

Love in general is an image of the one in the other, from agreement (18 [CL 172, 173]). This is still more the case with conjugial love, which is described as to its quality (19, 20 [CL 172, 173]). Conjugial love represented by fire, colors, fragrances, rose-gardens, arbors, flying things, animals (Memorabilia 29 [CL 76, 293, 294, 316]).

Conjugial love has been destroyed on earth, but it can be raised up by the Lord (31 [CL 69, 81]). The origin of conjugial love (31-76 [CL 60, 61, 75, 83, 102, 103, 143]).

Conjugial love is from the Lord, because all the good of love and the truth of wisdom are from Him (34-35 [CL 60, 84-86]).

How conjugial love flows in with man (51 [CL 92, 93]).

Conjugial love again described as to its quality, as to its conjunction and its reciprocation with male and with female: also illustrated from the Word (52-55 [CL 33, 37, 61, 132, 316]). The spiritual love of minds internal and external (mentium et animorum) descends from the highest origin (illustrated, 57-59 [CL 61, 68, 69]). Through spiritual conjugial love exists natural conjugial love, which belongs to all things of the body (60-62 [CL 69]).

The quality of the influx (illustrated, n 60-62 [CL 86, 183, 208, 304, 313, 355, 461]).

Hence conjugial love is made full (63-66 [CL 310]).

Concerning love in the body; in the breast, and in the loins (64, 65, 67, 68 [CL 76, 171, 179, 183, 224, 305, 310]).

Connected series of causes as to conjugial love, from the first to the last (63-65).

They have conjugial love who go to the Lord, and who are in the marriage of good and truth; thus conjugial love is with those who are in true religion (illustrated, 67, 68 [CL 67, 68, 70, 81, 98]).

(Concerning the delights of conjugial love, see DELIGHTS.)

The delights of conjugial love belong to the sense of touch (116-119 [CL 210, 396]).

The most exalted use is from conjugial love (128-130 [CL 68]).

Conjugial love is according to conjunction with the Lord (131-135 [CL 71, 72]).

It is according to religion, and there is none where there is not religion (140-144 [CL 531]).

Conjugial love is from wisdom and its love, conjoined (Memorabilia 146 [CL 137]).

Conjugial love is according to uses (Memorabilia 146 [CL 137]).

They [who have mutually loved each other, and from religion have shunned adulteries as enormous sins,] come into the flower of their life (Memorabilia 146 [CL 137]).

The connection of conjugial love with all the loves of heaven (147-222 [CL 65-67]).

Many things from the angels concerning conjugial love; what the husband has therefrom, and what the wife (193).

Various things from the angels concerning the chasteness of marriage; examination is made as to quality in respect to it (206).

Whence are the delights (deliciae) of conjugial love, many things (258-262 [CL 198]). (See SEX.)

Communication of delights from wives with their husbands (263-265 [CL 188, 189]). (See SEX.)

From these things may be seen the difference between conjugial love and the love of the sex. The latter is natural, and common to all animals; the former is spiritual, and is peculiar to man (294-300 [CL 94-100]).

(Concerning the degrees of conjugial love, see DEGREES.) Conjugial love makes one with the church and religion with them (393-406 [CL 129-131]). (See RELIGION.)

Conjugial love makes one with the state of the church and of religion with man, and such is heaven to him (393-406 [CL 129-131, 238, 458]). (See RELIGION.)

The differences and variety of conjugial love, according to the states of the church with men (408-568 [CL 130, 434]).

Conjugial love is internal and is external (409-412 [CL 534]).

That internal love is twofold, spiritual and celestial (413-416 [CL 305]).

The external also is twofold, rational and natural (417-421 [CL 305, 310]).

The internal is angelic, and can be given with men (422-425).

The external properly is human (426, 427).

Natural conjugial love, separate from rational conjugial love, properly is ferine (427-430 [CL 230]).

Internal conjugial love, celestial and spiritual, cannot be separated from external conjugial love, rational and natural; but they are together, and thus act as one (430-434).

Conjugial love in its first origin is the love of good and truth (562-572 [CL 83-102]).

He is man so far as spiritual conjugial love makes one with natural conjugial love (593-597 [CL 230]).

In love truly conjugial there is the eternal; and conversely (622-629 [CL 38, 44, 200, 216]).

How spiritual love proceeds from firsts to ultimates (630-638 [CL 101, 183, 400, 401, 440, 441, 447]).

Conjugial love is without any lasciviousness (630-638 [CL 143-146]). Spiritual celestial love between consorts is love truly conjugial; which regarded in itself is union of souls, conjunction of minds, and endeavor in all things of the body to conjunctions in the breast, and delightful conjunction from these (865-870 [CL 179]).

The states of this love are innocence, peace, tranquillity, inmost friendship, desire of soul and heart to do all good to the other, full trust in each other; in which and in all of which, there is blessedness, satisfaction, delight and pleasure; and from the eternal fruition of these, there is felicity of life (871-886 [CL 180]).

Conjugial love seems a debt and not free will; thus forced and not free (946-950 [CL 257, 466]).

Where conjugial love has its seat (1024 [CL 238, 270, 457, 466]).

Man is in the state of creation when in that love (1025 [CL 66, 84-86]).

He is in conjunction with the Lord, and in the reception of all things of good and truth (1026, 1027 [CL 113, 341]). He is in potency (1028, 1029 [CL 55, 113, 207, 365]).
