English The Delights of Wisdom Pertaining to Conjugial Love To Which is Added The Pleasures of Insanity Pertaining To Scortatory Love Reading ease score: 54.7 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read. Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Keren Vergon, David King, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Delights of Wisdom Pertaining to Conjugial Love" by Emanuel Swedenborg is a philosophical and theological exploration written in the late 18th century. This work delves into the nature of love, particularly focusing on the spiritual and emotional relationships that exist in heaven, contrasting them with earthly experiences of love. Alongside this central theme, it discusses "The Pleasures of Insanity Pertaining to Scortatory Love," suggesting a dichotomy between conjugial (marital) love and other forms of love. At the start of the text, the author shares a vision where angels are summoned to discuss the essence of heavenly joy and eternal happiness. Swedenborg presents a series of dialogues among different groups of wise spirits, each expressing their views on what constitutes true happiness in the afterlife. These discussions reveal diverse perspectives, from viewing heavenly joy as feasting and pleasant company to seeing it as a deeper spiritual connection rooted in usefulness and the fulfillment of one's purpose. As these spirits explore their beliefs about heaven, they are guided by an angel who aims to enlighten them, emphasizing that genuine joy originates not from physical pleasures alone but from love, wisdom, and usefulness in serving others. This opening sets the stage for a profound exploration of love's many forms and its significance in spiritual life.
