434、⑼既有一个淫乱之爱的气场，也有一个婚姻之爱的气场。前面（222-225，386-397节）已说明何谓气场，还说明它们多种多样，以及爱和智慧的气场如何从主发出，并经由天使天堂降至尘世，甚至渗透到尘世的最低层。前面（425节）说明，宇宙中不存在没有其对立面的事物。由此可知，既然存在一个婚姻之爱的气场，那么它的一个对立气场也必存在，该气场被称为淫乱之爱的气场。因为这两种气场彼此对立，正如对奸淫的爱与对婚姻的爱对立。本章开头几节论述了这种对立。
434、（9）淫荡之爱会产生一种氛围，婚姻之爱也会产生一种氛围。我们所说的氛围有好多种。这些氛围与来自于主的爱和智慧有关，它从天使的天国下降到世间的每一处。正如从前222-225和386-397中讲过的。
因为世间万物都有其反面，婚姻之爱有其氛围，同样淫荡之爱也有其氛围。这两种氛围是完全相反的。
434. (ix) There is a sphere of scortatory love and one of conjugial love.
It was shown above (222-225, 386-397) what is meant by the spheres of many kinds, and how those of love and wisdom emanate from the Lord, and passing through the heavens of angels come down into the world and reach the lowest levels in it. It was also shown above (425) that there is nothing in the universe, which does not have its opposite. It follows from this that the existence of a sphere of conjugial love implies the existence of an opposing sphere, what is called that of scortatory love. For these spheres are opposed, just as the love of adultery is opposed to the love of marriage. This opposition was discussed in the earlier sections of this chapter.
434. 9. There is an atmosphere of licentious love, and an atmosphere of conjugial love. What we mean by atmospheres, and the fact that they are multiple, also that those atmospheres which have to do with love and wisdom emanate from the Lord, descend through the angelic heavens into the world, and pervade it even to the lasts of it - this we showed earlier in nos. 222-225 and nos. 386-397.
Since there is nothing in the universe which does not have its opposite (see above, no. 425), it follows on that ground that, because there is an atmosphere of conjugial love, there is also an atmosphere opposite to it, which we call an atmosphere of licentious love; for those atmospheres are opposed to each other, as the love of adultery is opposed to the love of marriage - an opposition which we have described in the preceding discussions of this chapter.
434. 9. There is an aura of illicit love and an aura of married love. It was pointed out (nos. 222-225 386-397, above) what "auras" means, and that there are many of them, and that the ones that are auras of love and wisdom radiate from the Lord and come down into the world through the angelic heavens and penetrate clear to its lowest parts. No. 425 shows that there is nothing in the universe without its opposite. According to this, since there is an aura of married love, there is also an aura of its opposite, which is called an aura of illicit love, for those auras are opposite to one another just as love of adultery is opposite to love of marriage. This opposition was covered in the earlier parts of this chapter.
434. IX. THAT THERE IS A SPHERE OF SCORTATORY LOVE AND A SPHERE OF CONJUGIAL LOVE. What is meant by spheres was shown above (nos. 222-225 and 386-397), where it was also shown that they are manifold, and that those which are spheres of love and wisdom proceed from the Lord and descend through the angelic heavens into the world and pervade it even to its ultimates. That there is nothing in the universe which has not its opposite may be seen above (no. 425). From this it follows that since there is a sphere of conjugial love, there is also a sphere opposite thereto which is called the sphere of scortatory love; for the two spheres are opposed to each other, just as the love of adultery is opposed to the love of marriage--an opposition which was treated of in preceding parts of this chapter.
434. (ix) There is a sphere of scortatory love and one of marital love. We showed above (nn. 222-225, and 386-397) what is meant by spheres; that there are a number of them; and that those which are of love and wisdom proceed from the Lord, descend through the angelic heavens into the world, and pervade the world to the lowest things in it. Also see at425 that nothing in the universe is without its opposite. It follows that as there is a sphere of marital love, there is also a sphere opposite to it, which is called the sphere of scortatory love. These spheres are opposite to each other as the love of adultery is to the love of marriage, of which opposition we have been treating in the preceding sections of this chapter.
434. (9) That there is a sphere of scortatory love and a sphere of conjugial love. What is meant by spheres, and that they are manifold, and that those which are of love and wisdom proceed from the Lord and descend through the angelic heavens into the world and pervade it, even to its very ultimates, has been shown above in n. 222-225; and in n. 386-397. That there is not a thing in the universe which has not its opposite, may be seen above at n. 425; from which it follows that because there is a sphere of conjugial love there is also a sphere opposite to it which is called the sphere of scortatory love.
For those spheres are opposite to each other just as the love of adultery is opposite to the love of marriage, which opposition has been treated of in the preceding parts of this chapter.
434. IX: Quod sit Sphaera amoris scortatorii, et sphaera amoris conjugialis. Quid intelligitur per sphaeras, et quod multiplices sint, et quod illae quae sunt Amoris et Sapientiae, procedant a Domino, et per Coelos Angelicos descendant in Mundum, et hunc pervadant usque ad ultima ejus, supra 222-225, 1et 386-397, ostensum est. Quod non detur in Universo aliquid, cui non est suum oppositum, videatur supra 425; ex hoc sequitur, quod quia datur Sphaera amoris conjugialis, etiam detur Sphaera 2ei opposita, quae vocatur Sphaera amoris scortatorii: sunt enim illae Sphaerae sibi oppositae, sicut est amor adulterii oppositus amori conjugii; de qua oppositione in praecedentibus hujus Capitis actum est.
