CONCUPISCENCE, concerning, 267.  Every one is by truth interiorly in concupiscence, but by education exteriorly in intelligence, 267.  Interesting particulars concerning concupiscence not visionary or fantastic, in which all men are born, 269.  All the concupiscences of evil reside in the lowest region of the mind, which is called the natural; but in the region above, which is called the spiritual, there are not any concupiscences of evil, 305.  In every thing that proceeds from the natural man there is concupiscence, 448.  Imputation of concupiscence, 455.  In the spiritual world every evil concupiscence presents a likeness of itself in some form, which is not perceived by those who are in the concupiscence, but by those who are at a distance, 521.

CONFIDENCE, full, is in conjugial love, and is derived from it, 180.  Full confidence relates to the heart, 180.

CONFINES OF HEAVEN.—­Those who enter into extra-conjugial life are sent to their like, on the confines of heaven, 155.

CONFIRM, to.—­The understanding alone confirms, and when it confirms it engages the will to its party, 491.  Every one can confirm evil equally as well as good, in like manner what is false as well as what is true.  The reason why the confirmation of evil is perceived with more delight than the confirmation of good, and the confirmation of what is false with greater lucidity than the confirmation of what is true, 491.  Intelligence does not consist in being able to confirm whatever a man pleases, but in being able to see that what is true is true, and that what is false is false, 233.  Every one may confirm himself in favor of the divine principle or Being, by the visible things of nature, 416-419.  Those who confirm themselves in favor of a divine principle or Being, attend to the wonderful things which are conspicuous in the productions both of vegetables and animals, 416.  Those who had confirmed themselves in favor of nature, by what is visible in this world, so as to become atheists, appeared in spiritual light with the understanding open beneath, but closed above, 421.

CONFIRMATIONS are effected by reasonings, which the mind seizes for its use, deriving them either from its superior region or its inferior, 491.  The form of the human mind is according to confirmations turned towards heaven, if its confirmations are in favor of marriages, but turned to hell, if they are in favor of adulteries, 491.  Confirmations of falsities, so as to make them appear like truths, are represented in the spiritual world under the forms of birds of night, 233.  See To Confirm.

CONFIRMATORS.—­They are called such in the spiritual world who cannot at all see whether truth be truth, but yet can make whatever they will to be truth, 233.  Their fate in the other life, 233.

CONJUGIAL PAIRS.—­It is provided by the Lord that conjugial pairs be born, and that these pairs be continually educated for marriage, neither the maiden nor the youth knowing any thing of the matter, 316.
