Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 56 56. The Second Memorable Relation: Once, while talking with angels in the world of spirits, I was inspired with a pleasant desire to see the Temple of Wisdom which I had seen once before;* and I asked them the way. They said, "Follow the light and you will find it." I said, "What do you mean by "Follow the light"?" and they said: "Our light shines more... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=56 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 71 71. The reason why no others can be in love truly conjugial save those who receive it from the Lord, being those who approach Him directly and from Him live the life of the Church, is because, as shown above (no. 64), that love, regarded from its origin and correspondence, is celestial, spiritual, holy, pure, and clean, above every other love which is with the angels of heaven and with the men of... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=71 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 78 78. The Fourth Memorable Relation: Two days later, the angel again spoke to me, saying: "Let us complete the period of the Ages; there still remains the last Age which is named from IRON. The people of that Age live in the north, at the side of the west, inwards, that is to say, breadth-wise. They are all from the ancient inhabitants of Asia, with whom was the Ancient Word and wors... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=78 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 83 83. THE ORIGIN OF CONJUGIAL LOVE FROM THE MARRIAGE OF GOOD AND TRUTH The origins of conjugial love are internal and external. The internal origins are many and likewise the external, but the inmost of all, being the universal origin, is one. That this inmost origin is the marriage of good and truth will be shown in what now follows. No one has hitherto deduced the origin of that love from th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=83 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 95 95. VII. BUT THAT CONJUGIAL LOVE BELONG TO THE INTERNAL OR SPIRITUAL MAN, AND HENCE IS PROPER TO MAN. That conjugial love belongs to the internal or spiritual man, is because the more a man becomes intelligent and wise, the more does he become internal or spiritual and the more is the form of his mind perfected. It is this form that receives conjugial love; for in that love he perceives and feels... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=95 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 104 104. From the FIRST paper which his hand took at random, he read as follows: "We five compatriots in our stall have concluded that conjugial love had its origin from the most ancient people in the Golden Age, and with them from the creation of Adam and his wife. Thence is the origin of marriages and with marriages the origin of conjugial love. As regards the virtue or potency of conjugial lov... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=104 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 105 105. The angel then put his hand into the urn a SECOND. time and took from it a paper, from which he read as follows: "We compatriots in our compartment have agreed that the origin of conjugial love is the same as the origin of marriages. These have been sanctioned by laws for the restraining of the innate desire of men for adulteries, which ruin the soul, debase the reason of the mind, defil... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=105 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 108 108. For the FIFTH time the angel drew a paper from the urn, from which he read as follows: "We compatriots at our table, from the rational light of our minds, have looked into the origin of conjugial love and the origin of its virtue or potency, and, from reasons carefully examined, have seen and affirmed that conjugial love has no other origin than the fact that from the foments and the res... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=108 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 110 110. For the SEVENTH time the angel drew out a paper, from which he read as follows: "In the chamber under the light of our window, we compatriots have enlivened our thoughts and hence our judgment by meditation upon conjugial love. Who is there that would not be enlivened by that love? for when in the mind, it is at the same time in the whole body. We judge of the origin of the love from its... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=110 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 132 132. To the above, I will add two Memorable Relations. First this: I once conversed with two angels, one from the eastern heaven, the other from the southern heaven. When they perceived that I was meditating on the arcana of wisdom concerning conjugial love, they said, "Do you know anything about the sports of wisdom in our world?" When I answered, "Not as yet," they... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=132 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 133 133. After this they took up the second subject of discussion: WHY IS MAN NOT BORN INTO THE SCIENCE OF ANY LOVE, WHEN YET BEASTS AND BIRDS, BOTH THE NOBLE AND THE IGNOBLE, ARE BORN INTO THE SCIENCES OF ALL THEIR LOVES? First they confirmed the truth of the proposition by various considerations, as, with respect to man, that he is born into no knowledge, not even into the knowledge of conjugial lov... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=133 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 151 151. IX. THAT CHASTITY CANNOT BE PREDICATED OF EUNUCHS BORN SUCH, NOR OF EUNUCHS MADE SUCH. By eunuchs born such are meant especially those with whom the ultimate of love has been lacking from birth; and because the first and the middle are then without a foundation on which to rest, they do not stand forth, and if they do, it is of no concern to such persons to distinguish between the chaste and... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=151 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 162 162. VI. THAT FROM THE FIRST DAYS OF MARRIAGE THIS CONJUNCTION IS EFFECTED SUCCESSIVELY, AND WITH THOSE WHO ARE IN LOVE TRULY CONJUGIAL, MORE AND MORE DEEPLY TO ETERNITY. The first heat of marriage does not conjoin, for it partakes of love of the sex which is a love belonging to the body and thence to the spirit, and what is in the spirit from the body does not stay long, while love which is in th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=162 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 173 173. XV. THAT THE WIFE THUS RECEIVES INTO HERSELF THE IMAGE OF HER HUSBAND, AND HENCE PERCEIVES, SEES, AND FEELS HIS AFFECTIONS. From the reasons adduced above, it follows as an attested truth that wives receive into themselves the things pertaining to the wisdom of their husbands, thus the properties of their souls and minds, and so, from being virgins, make themselves wives. The causes from whic... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=173 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 184 184. THE CHANGE OF THE STATE OF LIFE WITH MEN AND WITH WOMEN THROUGH MARRIAGE What is meant by states of life and their changes is well known to the learned and wise, but is unknown to the unlearned and simple. Something concerning them must therefore be premised. The state of a man's life is its quality; and because in every man there are two faculties which make his life, being the faculti... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=184 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 188 188. IV. THAT WITH MEN THERE IS ELEVATION OF THE MIND INTO SUPERIOR LIGHT, AND WITH WOMEN ELEVATION OF THE MIND INTO SUPERIOR HEAT; AND THAT WOMAN FEELS THE DELIGHTS OF HER HEAT IN THE LIGHT OF THE MAN. By the light into which men are elevated is meant intelligence and wisdom; for spiritual light, which proceeds from the sun of the spiritual world and which in its essence is wisdom,* plays an equa... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=188 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 196 196. XI. TO THE END THAT THE WILL OF BOTH MAY BECOME ONE WILL, AND THUS THE TWO, ONE MAN, for he who conjoins to himself the will of any one, conjoins to himself his understanding also, the understanding regarded in itself being merely the minister and servant of the will. That this is the case is apparent from the affection of love, in that it moves the understanding to think at its bid. Every af... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=196 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 207 207. To the above, I will add two Memorable Relations. First: Some time after [the second visit to Parnassus (no. 182)], I looked towards the city Athens, of which something was said in a former Relation (no. 156a), and heard thence an unusual clamor. There was something of laughter in it, in this something of indignation, and in this something of sadness; yet the clamor was not therefore dissonan... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=207 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 211 211. II. THAT WITH THOSE WHO ARE IN LOVE TRULY CONJUGIAL, THE FACULTY OF BECOMING WISE INCREASES, BUT WITH THOSE WHO ARE NOT IN CONJUGIAL LOVE IT DECREASES. That the faculty of becoming wise increases with those who are in love truly conjugial is because with married partners, as shown with abundant reasons in the preceding chapters, this love is from wisdom and according to it. Moreover, because... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=211 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 220 220. XI. THAT MEN HAVE ABUNDANCE ACCORDING TO THEIR LOVE OF PROPAGATING THE TRUTHS OF [THEIR] WISDOM, AND ACCORDING TO THEIR LOVE OF PERFORMING USES. That such is the case is one among the arcana which were known to the ancients and which are now lost. The ancients knew that every least thing done in the body is done from a spiritual origin; as for instance, that actions flow from the will which i... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=220
