INTEGRITY, state of, 135, 155.

INTELLECTUAL, the, principle is nothing but truth, 220.  Man’s intellectual principle is the inmost principle of the woman, 195.

INTELLIGENCE is a principle of reason, 130.  There is no end to intelligence, 185.  Every one is in intelligence, not by birth, but exteriorly by education, 267.  The intelligence of women is in itself modest, elegant, pacific, yielding, soft, tender; and the intelligence of men in itself is grave, harsh, hard, daring, fond of licentiousness, 218.  Circles around the head represent intelligence, 269.

INTEMPERANCE, 252, 472.

INTENTION.—­That which flows forth from the form of a man’s life, thus from the understanding and its thought, is called intention; but that which flows forth from the essence of a man’s life, thus that which flows forth from his will or his love, is principally called purpose, 493.  The intention which pertains to the will is principally regarded by the Lord, 71, 146.  Intention is as an act before determination; hence it is that, by a wise man and also by the Lord, intention is accepted as an act, 400, 452.  Intention is the soul of all actions, and causes blamableness and unblamableness in the world, and after death imputation, 452.

INTERCOURSE.—­In heaven there are frequent occasions of cheerful intercourse and conversation, whereby the internal minds (mentes) of the angels are exhilarated, their external minds (animi) entertained, their bosoms delighted, and their bodies refreshed, but such occasions do not occur till they have fulfilled their appointed uses in the discharge of their respective business and functions, 5.

INTERIORS, the, form the exteriors to their own likeness, 33.  The opening of the interiors cannot be fully effected except with those who have been prepared by the Lord to receive the things which are of spiritual wisdom, 39.  These interiors, which in themselves are spiritual, are opened by the Lord alone, 340, 341.

INTERNAL PRINCIPLES, man’s, by which are meant the things appertaining to his mind or spirit, are elevated in a superior degree above his external principles, 185.

INTREPIDITY is one of the moral virtues which have respect to life, and enter into it, 164.

IRON.—­Age of iron, 78.

ISRAELITISH NATION.—­Why it was permitted to the Israelitish nation to marry a plurality of wives, 340.

ITALIANS, 103, 106.  Italian eunuchs, 156.

JAMES, the Apostle, represented charity, 119.

JEALOUSY, concerning, 357-379.  The zeal of conjugial love is called jealousy, 367.  Jealousy is like a burning fire against those who infest love exercised towards a married partner, and it is a horrid fear for the loss of that love, 368.  There is a spiritual jealousy with monogamists, and natural with polygamists, 369, 370.  Jealousy with those married partners who tenderly love each other is a just grief grounded
