APOPLEXY.--Permanent infirmity, arising from apoplexy, a cause of

APPEARANCE.--Spaces in the spiritual world are appearances; distances,
also, and presences are appearances, 158. The appearances of distances
and presences there, are according to the proximities, relationships,
and affinities of love, 158. Those things which, from their origin, are
celestial and spiritual, are not in space, but in the appearances of
space, 158.
_Obs._--Those things which in the spiritual world are present to the
sight of spirits and angels are called _appearances_; those things are
called appearances, because, corresponding to the interiors of spirits
and of angels, they vary according to the states of those interiors.
There are real appearances and appearances unreal; the unreal
appearances are those which do not correspond to the interiors. See
_Heaven and Hell_.
