ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION. Matt. xxiv. 15, signifies the falsification
and deprivation of all truth, 80.
ABSENCE in the spiritual world, its cause, 171.
ACTION.--In all conjunction by love there must be action, reception, and
reaction, 293. From the will, which in itself is spiritual, actions
flow, 220.
ACTIVITY is one of the moral virtues which respect life, and enter into
it, 164. The activity of love makes a sense of delight, 461. The influx
of Love and wisdom from the Lord is the essential activity from which
comes all delight, 461. From conjugial love, as from a fountain, issue
the activities and alacrities of life, 249.
ACTORS.--In heaven, out of the cities, are exhibited stage
entertainments, wherein the actors represent the various virtues and
graces of moral life, 17, 79.
ACTUALLY, 66, 98, 178, &c.
_Obs._--This expression is used to distinguish _Actualiter_ from
_Realiter_, of which the author also makes use; thus between _actually_
and _really_, there is the same distinction as between _actual_ taken in
a philosophical sense, and _real_.
ACUTION.--The spiritual purification of conjugial love may be compared
with the purification of natural spirits effected by chemists, and
called acution, 145.
ADAM.--In what his sin consisted, 444. Error of those who believe that
Adam was wise and did good from himself, and that this was his state of
integrity, 135. The evil in which each man is born, is not derived
hereditarily from Adam, but from his parents, 525. If it is believed
that the guilt of Adam is inscribed on all the human race, it is because
few reflect on any evil in themselves, and thence know it, 525. Adam and
man are one expression in the Hebrew tongue, 156*.
ADJUNCTION.--The union of the soul and mind of one married partner to
those of the other, is an actual adjunction, and cannot possibly be
dissolved, 321. This adjunction is close and near according to the love,
and approaching to contact with those who are principled in love truly
conjugial, 158. It may be called spiritual cohabitation, which takes
place with married partners who love each other tenderly, however remote
their bodies may be from each other, 158.
ADMINISTRATIONS in the spiritual world, 207. The discharge of them is
attended with delight, 207.
ADMINISTRATORS.--In the spiritual world there are administrators, 207.
ADORATIONS.--Why the ancients in their adorations turned their faces to
the rising sun, 342.
ADRAMANDONI is the name of a garden in the spiritual world; this word
signifies the delight of conjugial love, 183.
ADULTERERS.--As soon as a man actually becomes an adulterer, heaven is
closed to him, 500. Adulterers become more and more not men, 432. There
are four kinds of adulterers:--1st, Adulterers from a purposed principle
are those who are so from the lust of the will; 2d, adulterers from a
confirmed principle are those who are so from the persuasion of the
understanding; 3d, adulterers from a deliberate principle are those who
are so from the allurements of the senses; 4th, adulterers from a
non-deliberate principle are those who are not in the faculty or not in
the liberty of consulting the understanding, 432. Those of the two
former kinds become more and more not men, but the two latter kinds
become men as they recede from those errors, 432. Reasonings of
adulterers, 500. Every unclean principle of hell is from adulterers,
500, 477. Whoever is in spiritual adultery is also in natural adultery,
520.
ADULTERERS from a deliberate principle and from a non-deliberate
principle, 432.
ADULTERY, by, is meant scortation opposite to marriage, 480. The
horrible nature of adultery, 483. Spiritual adultery is the connection
of evil and the false, 520. Adulteries are the complex of all evils,
356. Why hell in the total is called adultery, 520. There are three
genera of adulteries, simple, duplicate, and triplicate, 478, 484. There
are four degrees of adulteries, according to which they have their
predications, their charges of blame, and after death, their
imputations, 485-499:--1st, Adulteries of ignorance, &c., 486, 487; 2d,
adulteries of lust, 488, 489; 3d, adulteries of the reason or
understanding, &e., 490, 491; 4th, adulteries of the will, 492, 493. The
distinction between adulteries of the will and those of the
understanding, 490. The adultery of the reason is less grievous than the
adultery of the will, 490.--Accessories of adultery and aggravations of
it, 454. Adultery is the cause of divorce, 255. Representative of
adultery in its business, 521.
