Every man is his own love, and he remains his own love after death, - illustrated by the consideration that the enjoyments of life are enjoyments of man's love, and man lives from enjoyments (9 [CL 34-36, 461]).

The love which lives after death is the love of man's spirit; and the exterior draws from this love, so far as they act in unity (10, 11 [CL 36]).

Of what quality the love becomes after death with the evil, and of what quality with the good; the love of man's spirit makes [all to be] concordant with itself (11 [CL 36]).

Love makes one with knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom; for by these it exists (illustrated, 12 [CL 36]).

Therefore the whole heaven, in general and in particular, is formed according to loves; and hell likewise (13 [CL 36]).

Hence also man after death becomes the form of his love (13).

The love of the sex is the most universal of all, and consequently is in the most minute particulars (14 [CL 37]).

All enjoyments are from love (29, 30).

The things which are beautiful and pleasant correspond to the enjoyments of celestial love, and the things which are unbeautiful and unpleasant to the enjoyments of infernal love (30).

All love and all wisdom, or all good and truth, are from the Lord (33).

Love is as multiform as men are. In general there is the love of self, the love of the world, and the love of use. The love of self is corporeal, the love of the world material, and the love of uses spiritual (34 [CL 35]).

The love of self and the love of the world separate from the love of uses are infernal; but when they are not separated, the love of uses rules, and the other two serve (34).

The reciprocal union of love and wisdom or of good and truth in the Lord (36 [CL 60, 84]).

There must be the reciprocal, that there may be indissoluble union (illustrated, 37);

Illustrated by comparison with a chain (38 [CL 86]).

This union is with man from the Lord, and it is the Lord with him (39 [CL 90]).

There is a reciprocal union of the Lord and man (shown, 40).

Reciprocal conjunction with the Lord is effected by man's feeling to be his own that which flows in (40 [CL 122]).

All delights derive their origins from the will's love; and they are marked with their names in the wisdom of the understanding (77).

Love lives from enjoyments, so that enjoyment is the life of love (78 [CL 461]).

All love derives its highest origin from the Divine love of the Lord towards the human race; but this origin is veiled and is bent in various ways; still it is there inmostly, and gives the love of understanding (and more besides, 79).

Love progresses through causes to effects, and to further effects, even to the ultimate; and thence it returns to the first effect, but not by the same way; and so the first love sees itself in an image in another love; the first love produces this (80).

This circulation of love illustrated by the circulation of the blood from the heart into the heart through the body, also through the lungs (81).
