Arcana Coelestia #4139

4139. 'And you have not allowed me to kiss my sons and my daughters' means a disjoining in a free state as intermediate good believed it to be. This is clear from the meaning of 'kissing' as a joining together resulting from affection, dealt with in 3573, 3574, 3800, and 'not allowing to kiss' therefore as disjoining; from the meaning of 'sons' as truths, and of 'daughters' as goods, dealt with several times already. Thus a disjoining so far as truths and goods are concerned is meant. The fact that this occurred in a free state as intermediate good believed it to be, see what has appeared already in 4136, 4137.
