LEPROSY, 258, 470.

LIBERALITY is one of those virtues which have respect to life, and enter into it, 164.

LIBERTY.—­See Rationality and Liberty.

LIBRARIES in the spiritual world, 207.

LIFE.—­The life of man essentially is his will, and formally is his understanding, 493.  Every one has excellence of life according to his conjugial love, 510.

LIGHT.—­In heaven, the light with which warmth is united is wisdom, 137.  In heaven there is perpetual light, and on no occasion do the shades of evening prevail; still less is there darkness, because the sun does not set, 137.  Heavenly light is above the rational principle with man, and rational light is below it, 233.  If heavenly light does not flow into natural light, a man does not see whether any thing true is true, and neither does he see that any thing false is false, 233.  False and delusive lights, 77.  See Heat and Light.

LIGHTNING.—­In the spiritual world, the vibration of light, like lightning, is a correspondence and consequent appearance of the conflict of arguments, 415.

LIKE.—­There is not one angel of heaven absolutely like another, nor any spirit of hell, neither can there be to eternity, 362.  There are not two human faces exactly alike, 186.

LIKENESS or SIMILITUDE.—­The likeness of children to their parents, 525.  Man is a likeness of God from this circumstance, that he feels in himself that the things which are of God are in him as his, 132, 134.  Similitudes and dissimilitudes between married partners in general originate from connate inclinations, varied by education, connections, and imbibed persuasions, 227.  There are both internal and external similitudes and dissimilitudes; the internal derive their origin from religion, and the external from education, 246.  The varieties of similitudes are very numerous, and differ more or less from each other, 228.  Various similitudes can be conjoined, but not with dissimilitudes, 228.  The Lord provides similitudes for those who desire love truly conjugial; and if they are not given in the earths, he provides them in the heavens, 229.  In the spiritual world, similitudes are joined, and dissimilitudes separated, 273.

LIPOTHAMIA, 253, 470.

LIVE, to, for others is to perform uses, 18.

LOINS, the, with men correspond to conjugial love, 510.

LOOK, to.—­The Lord looks at every man in the fore front of his head, and this aspect passes into the hinder part of his head, 444.  In heaven it is impossible to look at the wife of another from an unchaste principle, 75.

LORD, the, is the God of heaven and earth, 129.  The Lord is essential good and essential truth; and these in Him are not two, but one, 121.  The Lord loves every one, and desires to do good to every one, 7.  He promotes good or use by the mediation of angels in heaven, and of men on earth, 7.  From the Lord, the creator and conservator of the universe, there continually proceed love, wisdom, and use, and these three as one, 400.
