ALPHA, the, and the Omega.--Why the Lord is so called, 326.
ALPHABET in the spiritual world, each letter of it is significative,
326.
AMBASSADOR in the spiritual world discussing with two priests on the
subject of human prudence, 354.
ANCIENTS.--Of marriages among the ancients, and the most ancient, 75,
77. The most ancient people in this world did not acknowledge any other
wisdom than the wisdom of life; but the ancient people acknowledged the
wisdom of reason as wisdom, 130. Precepts concerning marriages left by
the ancient people to their posterity, 77. Angels are men; their form is
the human form, 30. They appear to man when the eyes of his spirit are
opened, 30. All the angels are affections of love in the human form, 42.
Angels who are loves, and thence wisdoms, are called celestial, and with
them conjugial love is celestial; angels who are wisdoms, and thence
loves, are called spiritual, and similar thereto is their conjugial
principle, 64. There are among the angels some of a simple, and some of
a wise character, and it is the part of the wise to judge, when the
simple, from their simplicity and ignorance, are doubtful about what is
just, or through mistake wander from it, 207. Every angel has conjugial
love with its virtue, ability, and delights, according to his
application to the genuine use in which he is, 207. Every man has angels
associated to him from the Lord, and such is his conjunction with them,
that if they were taken away, he would instantly fall to pieces, 404.
ANGER.--Why it is attributed to the Lord, 366.
ANIMALS.--Wonderful things conspicuous in the productions of animals,
416. Every animal is led by the love implanted in his science, as a
blind person is led through the streets by a dog, 96. See _Beasts_.
ANIMUS.--By _animus_ is meant the affections, and thence the external
inclinations, which are principally insinuated after birth by education,
social intercourse, and consequent habits of life, 246.
_Obs._--These affections and inclinations constitute a sort of inferior
mind.
ANTIPATHY.--In the spiritual world, antipathies are not only felt, but
also appear in the face, the discourse, and the gesture, 273. It is
otherwise in the natural world, where antipathies may be concealed, 272.
Among certain married partners in the natural world, there is an
antipathy in their internals, and an apparent sympathy in their
externals, 292. Antipathy derives its origin from the opposition of
spiritual spheres which emanate from subjects, 171.
ANTIQUITY.--Memorable things of antiquity seen in heaven amongst a
nation that lived in the copper age, 77.
