FEAR.—In love truly conjugial there is a fear of loss, [318]. This fear resides in the very inmost principles of the mind, [318].

FEASTS.—There are in heaven, as in the world, both feasts and repasts, [6].

FEMALE.—See [Male and Female]. The female principle is derived from the male, or, the woman was taken out of the man, [32]. The female principle cannot be changed into the male principle, nor the male into the female, [32]. The difference between the essential feminine and masculine principle, [32], [168]. The good of truth, or truth from good, in the female principle, [61], [88], [90]. The female principle consists in perceiving from love, [168], [220].

FEVERS, malignant and pestilential, [253], [470].

FIRE in heaven represents good, [326].

FIRE in the spiritual sense signifies love, [380]. The fire of the angelic sun is divine love, [34]. The fire of the altar and of the candlestick in the tabernacle among the Israelites, represented divine love, [380]. The fire of the natural sun has existed from no other source than from the fire of the spiritual sun, which is divine love, [380]. The fires of the west signify the delusive loves of evil, [77].

FISH.—In the spiritual world fishes are representative forms, [76]. Every fish corresponds to some quality, [76].

FLAME.—Celestial love with the angels of heaven appears at a distance as flame; and thus also infernal love appears with the spirits of hell, [359]. Flame in the spiritual world does not burn like flame in the natural world, [359]. Celestial flame in no case bursts out against another, but only defends itself, and defends itself against an evil person, as when he rushes into the fire and is burnt, [365].
