LOVES.—­There are three universal loves which form the constituents of every man by creation, neighborly love, the love of the world, and the love of self, 269.  A man is a man if these loves are subordinate in that degree that the first constitutes the head, the second the body, and the third the feet, 269.  Natural, spiritual, and celestial loves; natural loves relate to the loves of self and the world, spiritual loves to love towards the neighbor, and celestial loves to love towards the Lord, 67.  When natural loves flow from spiritual loves, and spiritual from celestial; then the natural loves live from the spiritual, and the spiritual from the celestial; and all in this order live from the Lord, in whom they originate, 67.  Apparent loves between married partners are a consequence of the conjugial covenant being ratified for the term of life, 278.  The loves of animals are altogether united with their connate science, 96.  See Beasts.

LOVE and WISDOM constitute the marriage of the Lord and the church, 21.  The Lord is love, and the church is wisdom, 21.  Love and wisdom are the same thing as good and truth, 84.  Love consists of goods, and wisdom of truths, 84.
