IMPLETION.—The soul is a spiritual substance, which is not a subject of extension, but of impletion, [220].
IMPOSITION OF HANDS.—Whence it has originated, [396].
IMPURE.—To the impure every thing is impure, [140].
IMPURITY, the, of hell is from adulterous love, [480], [495]. In like manner the impurity in the church, [431], [495]. There are innumerable varieties of impurities; all hell overflows with impurities, [430].
IMPUTATION, the, of evil in the other life is not accusation, incusation, inculpation, and judication, as in the world, [524]; evil is there made sensible as in its odor; it is this which accuses, incuses, fixes blame, and judges, not before any judge, but before every one who is principled in good, and this is what is meant by imputation, [524]. Imputation of adulterous love, and imputation of conjugial love, [523-531]. Imputation of adulteries after death, how effected, [485], [489], [493]; these imputations take place after death, not according to circumstances, which are external of the deed, but according to internal circumstances of the mind, [530]. Imputation of good, how it is effected, [524]. If by imputation is meant the transcription of good into any one who is in evil, it is a frivolous term, [526].
IMPUTE, to.—The evil in which every one is, is imputed to him after death; in like manner the good, [524], [530], [531]. Evil or good is imputed to every one after death, according to the quality of his will and or his understanding, [527]. Who it is to whom sin is not imputed, and who to whom it is imputed, [529], [527].
INACTIVITY or SLOTH occasions a universal languor, dulness, stupor, and drowsiness of the mind, and thence of the body, [207]. In consequence of sloth the mind grows stupid and the body torpid, and the whole man becomes insensible to every vital love, especially to conjugial love, [249].
INCLINATION.—In the truth of good, and in the good of truth, there is implanted from creation an inclination to join themselves together into one, [88], [100]; the reason why, [89]. The conjunctive inclination, which is conjugial love, is in the same degree with the conjunction of good and truth, which is the church, [63]. Every one derives from his parents his peculiar temper, which is his inclination, [525]. Children are born with inclinations to such things as their parents were inclined to, [202]; but it is of the Divine Providence that perverse inclinations may be rectified, [202]. Inclinations of married partners towards each other, [171]. Husbands know nothing at all of the inclinations and affections of their own love, but wives are well acquainted with those principles in their husbands, [208]. Inclination of the wife towards the husband, [160]. Dissimilitude of internal inclinations is the origin and cause of cold, [275]. External inclinations, whence they arise, [246].
INDIFFERENCE with married partners comes from a disunion of souls and disjunction of minds, [236], [256].
INDUSTRY is one of the moral virtues which have respect to life, and enter into it, [164].
