DELIGHTS, external, without internal have no soul, 8.  Every delight without its corresponding soul continually grows more and more languid and dull, and fatigues the mind (animus) more than labor, 8.  The delight of the soul is derived from love and wisdom proceeding from the Lord, 8.  This delight enters into the soul by influx from the Lord, and descends through the superior and inferior regions of the mind into all the senses of the body, and in them is complete and full, 8.  In conjugial love are collated all joys and delights from first to last, 68, 69.  The delights of conjugial love are the same with the delights of wisdom, 293, 294.  They proceed from the Lord, and now thence into the souls of men (homines), and through their souls into their minds, and there into the interior affections and thoughts, and thence into the body, 183, 69, 144, 155*, 193.  As good is one with truth in spiritual marriage, so wives desire to be one with their husband; and hence arise conjugial delights with them, 198.  Paradisiacal delights, 8.  The delights of conjugial love ascend to the highest heaven, and in the way thither, and there, join themselves with the delights of all heavenly loves, and thereby enter into their happiness, and endure forever, 294.

DELIRIUM.—­An eminent degree of delirium is occasioned by truths which are falsified until they are believed to be wisdom, 212.  Delirium in which those are, in the spiritual world, who have been in the unrestrained love of self and the world, 267.

DEMOCRITUS, 182.

DEMOSTHENES, 182.

DEVILS.—­Those are called devils who have lived wickedly, and thereby rejected all acknowledgment of God from their hearts, 380.  See Satans.  With adulterers who are called devils, the will is the principal agent, and with those who are called satans, the understanding is the principal agent, 492.  Devil of a frightful form, 263.

DIFFERENCE between the spiritual and the natural, 326-329.

DIGNITIES, concerning, in heaven, 7, 266, there they do not prefer dignity to use but the excellence of use to dignity, 250.

DIOGENES, 182.

DISCIPLES, the twelve, together represented the church as to all its constituent principles, 119.  Who they are who are called disciples of the Lord in the spiritual world, 261.

DISCORD between married partners arises from spiritual cold, 236.

DISCOURSE, man’s, in itself is such as is the thought of his understanding which produces it, 527.  Discourse itself is grounded in the thought of the understanding, and the tone of the voice is grounded in the will affection, 140.  Speech which is said to flow from the thought, flows not from the thought, but from the affection through the thought, 36.  Spiritual language with representatives fully expresses what is intended to be said, and many things in a moment, 481.  Conversation in the spiritual world may be heard by a distant person as if he were present, 521.  Frequent discourse from the memory and from recollection, and not at the same time from thought and intelligence, induces a kind of faith, 415.
