CONCEPTION OF CHILDRENSymbolic of the formation in the mind of new ideas and generalizations, produced by thought and emotion. "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." - GENESIS. iii. 16. To the emotion-nature it is imparted that difficulty and distress shall attend the formulation of fresh ideas, and the realization of Divine wisdom. All the future evolution of the soul shall be through sorrow; and the ideas begotten of experience (i.e. through the functioning of the mind) shall be realized with pain. The emotion-nature shall be beholden to the mind, that is, shall be subservient to knowledge: and intellect shall dominate the love- principle, or emotion-nature. By conception' is signified all thought. By the sons whom she would bring forth in sorrow' are signified the truths which she would thus produce." - SWEDENBORG, Arcana Coelestia to Genesis. iii. 16. |
