LOT.—­Such as a man’s life has been in the world, such is his lot after death, 46.  Lot of those who have abandoned themselves to various lusts, 505, 510, 512, 514.  Happy lot of those who wished for dominion from the love of uses, 266.

LOVE, to.—­Whether it be possible for a woman to love her husband, who constantly loves her own beauty, 380.  Whether a man who loves himself from his intelligence can love a wife, 381.

LOVE is the esse or essence of a man’s life, 36, 46, 358.  It is the man himself, 36.  It is the best of the life of man, or his vital heat, 34, 359.  Love is the essential active principle of life, 183; it is kept alive by delight, 18.  Each love has its delight, 18.  All love is of such a nature that it bursts out into indignation and anger, yea, into fury, whenever it is disturbed in its delights, 358.  Love, without its delights, is not any thing, 427.  Love is spiritual heat, 235.  Love is spiritual heat originating in the fire of the angelic sun, which is pure love, 358.  Spiritual heat living in subjects is felt as love, 235.  Love resides in man’s will; in the will it is like fire, and in the understanding like flame, 360.  Love cannot do otherwise than love, and unite itself, in order that it may be loved in return, 160.  It is such, that it desires to communicate with another whom it loves from the heart, yea, to confer joys upon him, and thence to derive its own joys, 180.  The love of man is his very life, not only the common life of his whole body, and the common life of all his thoughts, but also the life of all the particulars thereof, 34.  A man is such as his love is, and not such as his understanding is, since the love easily draws over the understanding to its side, and enslaves it, 269.  It is not possible that any love should become perfect either with men or with angels, 71, 146.

LOVE, conjugial, is the foundation love of all celestial and spiritual loves, and thence of all natural loves, 65, 143, 240.  It is as a parent, and all other loves are as the offspring, 65.  Conjugial love essentially consists in the desire of two to become one, that is, their desire that two lives may become one life, 215, 37.  It is the conjunction of love and wisdom, 65.  The very origin of this love resides in the inmost principles appertaining to man, that is, in is soul, 238, 466.  This origin springs from the marriage of good and truth, 60, 83-102, 103, 143.  This love is celestial, spiritual, and holy, because derived from a celestial, spiritual, and holy origin, 61.  The love of the sex with man is not the origin of conjugial love, but is its first rudiment, 98.  Conjugial love in its origin is the sport of wisdom and love, 75.  It is called celestial, as appertaining to the angels of the highest heaven,
