CIVILITY is one of the moral virtues which have respect to life, and enter into it, 164.  In heaven they show each other every token of civility, 16.

CLAY mixed with iron, 79.

COHABIT, to.—­When married partners have lived in love truly conjugial, the spirit of the deceased cohabits continually with that of the survivor, and this even to the death of the latter, 321.

COHABITATION, spiritual, takes place with married partners who love each other tenderly, however remote their bodies may be from each other, 158.  See Adjunction.  Internal and external cohabitation, 322.  With those who are principled in love truly conjugial the happiness of cohabitation increases, but it decreases with those who are not principled in conjugial love, 213.

COHOBATION.—­The spiritual purification of conjugial love may be compared to the purification of natural spirits, as effected by chemists, and called cohobation, 145.

COLD.—­Spirits merely natural grow intensely cold while they apply themselves to the side of some angel, who is in a state of love, 235.  Spiritual cold in marriages is a disunion of souls, 236.  Causes of cold in marriages, 237-250.  Cold arises from various causes, internal, external, and accidental, all of which originate in a dissimilitude of internal inclinations, 275.  Spiritual cold is the privation of spiritual heat, 285.  Whence it arises, 235.  Whence conjugial cold arises, 294.  Every one who is insane in spiritual things is cold towards his wife, and warm towards harlots, 294.

COLUMN.—­Comparison of successive and simultaneous order to a column of steps, which, when it subsides, becomes a body ushering in a plane, 314.

COMMUNICATIONS.—­After death, married pairs enjoy similar communications with each other as in the world, 51.

CONATUS is the very essence of motion, 215.  From the endeavor of the two principles of good and truth to join themselves together into one, conjugial love exists by derivation, 288.

CONCEPTIONS.—­Between the disjoined souls of married partners there is effected conjunction in a middle love, otherwise there would be no conceptions, 245.

CONCERTS of music and singing in the heavens, 17.

CONCLUDE, to, from an interior and prior principle, is to conclude from ends and causes to effects, which is according to order; but to conclude from an exterior or posterior principle, is to conclude from effects to causes and ends, which is contrary to order, 408.

CONCUBINAGE, 462-476.  Difference between concubinage and pellicacy, 462.  See Pellicacy.  There are two kinds of concubinage which differ exceedingly from each other, the one conjointly with a wife, the other apart from a wife, 463.  Concubinage conjointly with a wife is illicit to Christians and detestable, 464.  See also 467, 476.

CONCUBINE, 462.
