whose externals have been injured by some accident, 259. The rationality of thinking things false, is irrationality, 425.

RATIONAL PRINCIPLE, the, of man is the highest point of the understanding, 237, 254. The rational principle of man is apparently of three degrees, 258. The rational man is he who is in natural, and, at the same time, in spiritual love, 416. Man may become rational, according to elevation, even to the third degree, 258. How the rational is perfected, 332.

RATS. Whence they derive their origin, 339, 341.

RE-ACTION. In every thing that has been created by God, there is a re-action, 68, 260. Re-action arises from the action of life, 68. See Action.

REASON. All that pertains to human reason unites and concentres in this, that there is one God, 23. Human reason does not give its acquiescence unless it sees a thing from its cause, 291. Human reason, in its common ground, on what it depends, 23. Sound and unsound reason, 23.

RECEIVE, to, more heat than light and vice versa, 101. Man may receive wisdom to the third degree, but not love, unless he shuns evils as sins, and turns himself towards the Lord, 242.

RECEPTACLES, 191, 223. The Lord has created and formed in man, two receptacles of Himself, the will and the understanding: the will for His divine love, and the understanding for His divine wisdom, 358-361, 393, 410, 242.

RECEPTION. There is reception of divine good and divine truth, according to man's application of the laws of order, which are divine truths, 57. RECIPIENTS of LIFE. Angels and men are such, 4-6. Man is a recipient so far as he has an affection for the things which proceed from God, and in such a degree as he thinks from that affection, 33. All things in the created universe are recipients of the Divine Love and Wisdom of God-Man, 55–60. RECIPROCATION is necessary, in order that there may be conjunction, 115, 170. What it is which effects the reciprocation by which there is conjunction with the Lord, 116. Reciprocal conjunction of love and wisdom; of the will and understanding; of the good and true, 385, 410. These reciprocal conjunctions arise from the love, 411.

RED corresponds to love, 380. REFLECTION is a derivation from wisdom, or understanding, 363.

REFORMATION and regeneration are effected by the reception of love and wisdom proceeding from the Lord, and by the consequent opening of the interior degrees of the mind in their order, 187, 263.

REGENERATION. See Reformation. To be

regenerated, is, from being natural, to become spiritual, 425.

REGION. The superior region of the natural mind is called the rational region, and the lowest region is called the sensual, 254.

RELATION. There is a common relation of all things to God, as there is a particular relation to man, 64. Relation to man in all and every thing of the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms, 61.

RELIGION. Those who have confirmed the falses of their religion, remain in these falses after their life in the world, 268.

REPRESENTATION, angelic, of the correspondence of the will and understanding with the heart and lungs, 376.

RESEMBLANCE of generals and particulars, or of the greatest and the least, 227; of nations to their first progenitor, 269. In Genesis, resemblance or likeness to God, signifies the Divine Love, 358.

RESPIRATION. How it is effected, 176, 412. Man has a double respiration, one of the spirit, the other of the body, on what they each depend, 412, 417. Respiration of the spirit, flows into respiration of the body, and produces it, 390, 391; there is a correspondence between them, 390. These two respirations may be separated, and may also be conjoined, 415, 417. Thought produces respiration, 412. Angels and spirits breathe, equally with men, 176, 391. The respirations of the lungs correspond to the perceptions and thoughts of the understanding, 420.

RESURRECTION of the Lord with the whole body complete, 221.

RETURN of all things to the Creator, 167.

172.

REVELATION. Every man is instructed in the Divine precepts by others who know them from religion, and not by immediate revelation, 249.

RIBS, their relation to the lungs, 403, 408. RIGHT, the, in the Word, signifies superior power, 220. To be seated on the right hand of the power and might of God, signifies to have all power, 221. In angels and men, the right corresponds to love whence wisdom is derived, or to good whence proceeds truth, 127, 384, 409.

SATAN. The love of possessing the goods of others, by any artifice, is called Satan, 273. Ingenious malices and cunnings are called the Satanic crew, 273. See Devil.

SCORPIONS. Whence they have derived their origin, 339, 341.

SEASONS of the year, in the Word, signify states of the Church, 73.

SEE, to. An angel can see God both within and without himself, 130. No person who is in evil can see good, but he who is in good can see evil, 271. When man thinks from

wisdom, he sees things, as it were, in light, 95. Those who are in one world cannot see those who are in another, the reason why, 91. To perceive from effects alone, is to see from illusions, 187. To see is predicated of the understanding, 363.

SEED. The seed which is from the father is the first receptacle of life, but such a receptacle as it was in the father, 269. The production of seeds was the first production from the earths when they were still recent, 312. In every seed there is an effort to multiply itself and fructify infinitely and eternally, 60. The more intimately seeds are regarded, the greater are the wonders therein discovered, and perfections according to discrete degrees, 201.

SELF-SUBSISTING. He is called the selfsubsisting, Who alone Is, 45. The self-subsisting is the very and only substance, and the very and only form; the very and only love, and the very and only wisdom; the very and only life, 45.

SENSATIONS are not things abstracted from the organs of sensation, but they are the states of those organs which are substances, 210. The sensations which pertain to the senses of the body, are derived ultimately from love and wisdom, 363.

SENSE is produced when the substance and form of the organ are affected, 41. The affection of the substance and form which produces the sense, is not any thing separated from the subject, but only causes a change in it, the subject remaining a subject then, as before and after, 41. The external senses of the body communicate immediately by fibres with the brain, and derive from it their sensitive and active life, 365. All the senses of the body derive their perception from the perception of the mind, 406.

SENSUAL men are the lowest natural men, who cannot think above the appearances and fallacies of the bodily senses, 249.

SERIES. Degrees proceed from one another in a triplicate series, 212. The last of each series is the complex and continent of all preceding, 215. The series and order of uses proceed only from love and wisdom, 46. SERPENTS, whence they have derived their origin, 339, 341.

SIGHT is only possible by means of an atmosphere purer than air, 176. Sight is in the eye, which is the subject, and not in the place in which are the objects that a man sees; it is the affection of the subject, 41. Sight does not issue from the eye towards the object, but the image of the object enters the eye, and affects its substance and form, 41. Sight is not any thing volatile flowing from its organ, but it is an affection of the organ considered in its substance and form, 41. The sense of sight communicates immediately by fibres with the brain, and draws from it its

sensitive and active life, 365. The sight of the eye is gross, 352. See Sense. SIMILARITY. See Resemblance. SIMILITUDE. See Resemblance.

SIMPLE, the, see what is good and true more clearly than those who believe themselves wiser, 361.

SIMPLE things are more perfect than compound ones, because they are more naked and less covered with substances and matters void of life, 204. Every simple thing is so much the more exempt from injury as it is more simple, and that because it is more perfect, 204. If there were not such an eminent perfection in simple things, neither man nor any animal could exist from seed and afterwards subsist, nor could the seeds of trees and fruits vegetate and become prolific, 204.

SINGULARS and particulars are similar to generals and their generals, being forms of degrees of both kinds, 225, 222. Whence arises the distinction of particulars and singulars, 226.

SIRENS. Their fantastic beauty, 424.

SKIN, the, with which man is covered is the subject of touch, 41. The substance and form of the skin cause man to feel the things which are applied to it, 41.

74.

SLEEP. In sleep, time does not appear, What becomes of endeavor and power in man during sleep, 219.

SLOANE, Sir Hans, 344.

SMELL. The sense of smell is in the nostrils, and is the affection of the nostrils from the odoriferous things which touch them, 41. The smell is not any thing volatile issuing from its organ, but is an affection of the organ considered in its substance and form, 41. The sense of smell communicates immediately by fibres with the brain, and derives thence its sensitive and active life, 365. See Sense.

SMELL, to, is predicated of perception, 363. SOCIETIES, in the spiritual world, are distinguished according to all the differences of affections, 141. Angelic societies are innumerable, and in a similar order to that of the glands of the brain, 366.

SOLE-SUBSISTING. He is called the Solesubsisting, from whom every thing is, 45. In all things the first principle is the solegoverning in the subsequent, yea, it is the sole, and thus the all in them, 197.

SOUL, the, in its very esse, is love and wisdom proceeding from the Lord, 395, 398. There is no soul without a body, nor body without a soul, 14. The soul of every man is in a spiritual body after it has put off the material coverings which it carried about with it in the world, 14. Fruitless researches of the learned into the operations of the soul on the body, 394. How the soul acts on the body, and operates all things belonging to it, 398–431. Soul of beasts, 346. In the Word the soul signifies the understanding,

SOUND, the, which is articulated in words,
comes entirely from the lungs, through the
trachea and epiglottis, 382. The angels know
a man's love from the sound of his voice, his
wisdom from the articulation of the sound,
and his knowledge from the sense of his words,
280. Beasts produce sounds conformable to
the knowledge proper to their love, 255.

SOURCES. The sources of all things in the
life of man are the Divine Love and wisdom,
33.

SOUTH, in the Word, signifies wisdom in
light, 121. In the spiritual world, those who
are in a superior degree of wisdom dwell in
the south, 121.

SPACE is a property of nature, 69, 72.
Space is in all and each of those things which
are seen with the eyes, 7. In the spiritual
world there appear spaces, but they are only
appearances, 7. They are not fixed as in the
natural world, but vary according to the states
of life, 70. States of the love correspond to
space, 70. Space is in the natural, but not in
the spiritual idea, 7, 111. To think of God
from space is to think from the extent of
nature, 9. The Lord cannot be progressive
through space, but is with each one according
to reception, 111. See Time. Speaking by
degrees, is speaking abstractedly, 196.

SPHERE, ambient, 291. Every one in the
spiritual world is surrounded by a sphere,
consisting of substances resolved and separated
from his body, 292. A sphere emanates also
from all things which appear in that world,
293. The sphere of the affections and thoughts
which surrounds each angel, manifests its pre-
sence to those who are near and to those who
are distant, 291.

SPIDERS. Their origin, 339.

SPIRAL. The contraction of the spiritual
degree is like the retorsion of a spire the con-
trary way, 254, 263.

principles, 345. The spiritual ultimate separ-
ate from its higher principles produces those
things which are evil uses, 345. The spiritual
principle impels nature to act, as what is living
impels what is dead, 340. It produces the
forms of vegetables and animals, and it fills
these forms with matters taken from the earth,
in order that they may be fixed and constant,
340. The spiritual gives the soul, and the
material the body, 343. What the spiritual,
and what the natural man is, 250, 251. All
things which are called spiritual, are sub-
stances and not abstractions; they do not
exist apart from their subjects, which are sub-
stances, but they are the states of those sub-
stances or subjects, 209.

SPIRITUAL FIRE, the, which appears be-
fore the angels as a sun, is the first proceeding
of love and wisdom from the Lord, 97.

SPLEEN. Through the senses alone man
knows nothing concerning the spleen, 22.

SPRING, in the Word, signifies the first state
of the Church, 73. Perpetual spring in the
angelic heavens, 105. Spring corresponds to
a state of peace, 105.

STAIN, the, from hereditary evils is not re-
moved, unless the superior degrees are opened,
which are the receptacles of love and wisdom
from the Lord, 432.

STATE is predicated of love, life, wisdom,
the affections, the joys thence derived, and in
general, of the good and the true, 7.
In an-
gelic ideas of thought, instead of space and
time, there are states of life; instead of space,
things which relate to states of love, and in-
stead of time, things which relate to states of
wisdom, 70 The state of peace corresponds
to spring on the earth, 105. Living and dead
states, 161.

STEMS OF TRUNKS in the forms of the vege-
table kingdom are the ultimates, 314. Stems
covered with bark, represent the globe covered
with earths, 314.

STERNUM. Its connection with the lungs,

408.

423.

SPIRIT, the Holy, is the Divine Proceed-
ing of the Lord, 146. It is the Lord and not
any God who is a separate person, 359. In
the Word, the Holy Spirit, and Spirit of God,
signify the Divine Wisdom, and thence the
Divine Truth, by which illustration is effected
with man, 383, 149.

SPIRITUAL. The heat and light proceeding
from the Lord as a sun are called spiritual,
100. The spiritual principle flows from its
sun, even into the ultimates of nature, in three
degrees, 345. The spiritual ultimate, or spirit-

STONES. Their composition, 190, 192, 207.
There are in them degrees of both kinds, 225.
The more interiorly they are considered, the
greater wonders are therein discovered, and
perfections according to discrete degrees, 201.
Streams of effluvia flow unceasingly from
stones, 293.

STRIATA, Corpora, 366.

STRUCTURE of the Lungs, 405, 412, 417.
SUBJECT, a, is something which exists
substantially, 373. Every subject is a reci-
pient, 170. Subjects which can be recipients
of the Divine Love and Wisdom as from them-
selves, are men, 170. That which is perceived

out of a subject as volatile and flowing is only the appearance of the state of the subject in itself, 40, 41.

SUBSISTENCE, the, of the universe and of all things in the universe is from the spiritual sun, 152, 153. Subsistence is perpetual existence, 152. SUBSTANCE. There is only one substance which is substance in itself, 197, 300. Substance in itself is the Divine Love, 44-46. All things have been created from a substance which is substance in itself, 283. Spiritual substances at rest, and fixed or material substances, 302. Substances whence proceed the earths, 305, 306, 310. Spiritual and natural substances of which the mind is composed, 257, 388. Organic substances which are the receptacles and abodes of thoughts and affections in the brain, 191, 192, 197. There is no substance without a form, 209, 229. Substance and form, 41.

SYSTOLE. The motions of the heart called systole and diastole change and vary according to the affections of each love, 378.

TASTE. Taste is the affection of the substance and form which pertain to the tongue, and the tongue is the subject, 41. Taste is not any thing volatile flowing from its organ, but is an affection of the organ itself considered in its substance and form, 41. The sense of taste communicates immediately by fibres with the brain, and derives from it its sensitive and active life, 365. See Sense. To taste is predicated of perception, 363.

TENDONS. Whence they proceed, 304. THINK, to, from causes and ends belongs to superior wisdom, whilst to think of them is a property of inferior wisdom, 202. To think from ends is a property of wisdom; to think from causes, of intelligence; and to think from effects, of science, 202. To think sensually and materially, is to think in nature from nature, and not above her, 351.

THORAX, 403.

407.

SUMMER, in the Word, signifies a state of fulness of the Church, 73.

SUN. There are two suns by means of which all things have been created by the Lord, the sun of the spiritual and that of the natural world, 153. The spiritual sun is not the Lord, but is the first proceeding from the Divine Love and Wisdom, 86, 93, 97, 290, 291, 151-156. The sun of the natural world is pure fire from which all life is abstracted, but the sun of the spiritual world is a fire in which is divine life, 89, 157. The spiritual sun is the only substance from whence all things proceed, 300. It appears in heaven at a middle altitude, 103-107. In the Word, the sun signifies the Lord as to Divine Love and Wisdom united, 98. See the Contents, Part 2.

SUPERIOR, in the Word, signifies interior, 206. It is according to order that superiors act on inferiors, and not vive versa, 365.

SUPREME, the, or highest of successive order, becomes the inmost of simultaneous order, 206.

SWAMMERDAM, 351.

SWEDENBORG. The opening of the sight of his spirit in order that he might see things that are in the spiritual world, and give a description of them, 85, 355. He has seen the Lord as a sun, 131, and a whole heavenly society as one angelic man, 79. Admitted to converse with angels in spirit out of the body, 391, 394.

SWINE, whence they originated, 339.

THOUGHT is only possible by means of an atmosphere purer than air, 176. It is nothing

tion from the wisdom and understanding, 363. Interior thought, which is the perception of ends, is the first effect of life, 2. All the thoughts of man derive their origin from the Divine Wisdom, 33. Affections and thoughts are states of substances and forms, and not abstractions without real substance and form, 42, 316. Spiritual thought has nothing in common with natural thought, 163. Thought from the eye closes the understanding, but thought from the understanding opens the eye, 46. Thought is produced by affection, and it produces respiration, 412. Thought flows into the lungs, and through the lungs into speech, 391. Thought corresponds to the respiration of the lungs, 382, 383. See Affection.

TIGERS. Whence they originated, 339. TIME is a property of natures, 69, 73, 161. Measures of time, 73. In the spiritual world the progressions of life appear in time, but state there determining time, time is only an appearance, 73. Times in the spiritual world are not fixed as in the natural world, but they vary according to states of life, 70. States of wisdom correspond to time, 70. Time is there only quality of state, 73. It makes one with thought proceeding from affection, 74. See Space.

TISSUE of the lungs, 405.

TONGUE. There is an appearance that the tongue tastes, but it is the understanding which tastes from its perception, 363. Through the senses alone man knows nothing of the innumerable parts which are in the tongue, 22. The more interiorly it is considered, the
