Generals are insinuated with those who are being regenerated, in which are particulars and singulars, which go forth successively, 4383. In all things and each thing the general precedes, and particulars are insinuated into it, 5082. Generals may be filled with innumerable things, 7131. When a man is being reformed, generals are first arranged in order, and removed, then particulars, 3057:3 There are series of subordinate things under their generals, according to the angelic societies, with the regenerated, 5339. Generals have their receptacles, in which they are, 5531. All things are referred to a general, in order that they may be kept in form, and generals to more generals, and the most general universal is the Lord: illustrated, 6115.

Goblet (poculum). See BOWL [and BASKET.]
God (Deus). [See also ANGEL.] The Origin of Polytheism. Because the ancients added some qualification to the name of Jehovah or God, it thence came to pass that afterwards they worshipped a number of gods, 2724e. They made to themselves several gods from the names by which the Lord was distinguished in the Ancient Church, according to the diverse effects of the Divine, its attributes, and goods and truths, 3667, 4162:2. The ancients distinguished the one God by various names, according to those things which are from Him, and therefrom their posterity worshipped a number of gods, 5628.
The Names God and Jehovah distinguished. Why it is said 'Jehovah' and why 'God,' 709, 732, 1096:2. Called 'Jehovah' from essence, but 'God' from power; thence several are called 'God' or 'gods' 300. God is spoken of from power; Jehovah, from essence, 3910. 'God' is used where Truth is treated of; 'Jehovah,' where Good is the subject, 2586, 2769, 2807:2, [2810,] 2823.

Various Particulars. Angels are called 'gods' from truths and goods which are from the Divine: shown, 4295. Angels, from truths, thus truths, are called 'gods': shown, 4402:5, [7268:2.] The human race is such that men worship anything of which they have an idea of perception, and in which is the Divine; and the Lord also came into the world on that account: illustrated, 4733. Christians in the other life speak of one God, but think of three; gentiles, however, adore the Lord only, 5256. Concerning those who think about God, what He did before creation; at the end of the universe there are two statues which swallow them up; concerning which, 8325:2. No idea of the Divine can be had apart from the idea of the Human, thus apart from the Lord, 8705:4. The ideas of angels about God, the Trinity, and proceeding are altogether other than those of men; the Lord to them is the only one God; it is also illustrated by three things with an angel, 9303:4. To acknowledge one's God is the first thing of religion, 10112.

Good (bonum). Its Source, and What it is. Man of himself can do nothing good, nor think truth, 874, 875:4, 876. See PROPRIUM. To believe that good is from self, and to merit salvation, 4174. See MERIT. All good and truth are from the Lord, 1614, 2016e; and so far as a man believes that they are from Him, so far he is in His kingdom, 2904:2. All good and truth are from the Lord, not from self: illustrated, 4151:3. All good is from the Lord: shown, 9981. It is with good and truth as it is with offspring: they are conceived, are in the womb, are born, and grow up, 3298; and these are states of progress, or of the conjunction of good and truth, 3308. Few know what good is, and what truth: and they are only the regenerate, 3603:3. If it were known and perceived what good is, then first innumerable things would be known, as also the proximities of good and truth which are in heaven, 3612. Good is conjunction; and it may be known what good is, if one is studious to know what love to God and love towards the neighbour are, 4997. No one knows what good is, unless he knows what love to God, and love towards the neighbour are;. and he cannot know what truth is, except from good, 7178. Good is of a twofold origin: in the will, and in the understanding; concerning which, 6065. Good consists in doing good from good, or willing to do good; the good of truth consists in doing, or understanding good from truth, or from the understanding, 4169. Innocence makes good to be good, 2526. Genuine good is from the truths of the Word: illustrated, 9404:2 Good is the life of truth, 1589:2. Good must be the all in all things that they may be, 9550, 9568:4, 9574.
Varieties 01 Good. There are innumerable genera and species of good and truth, 3519:2. The genera and species of good are innumerable, yea, indefinite: illustrated, 4263. All goods with man are varied, but from the varieties one is formed by the Lord, 3986:3. All goods in heaven are varied. 7833, 7836:3. There are three kinds of good, which constitute the three heavens; concerning which, 10270. Goods follow in order from the Lord, by means of internal good, and thence by means of the external good of the inmost heaven, and therefrom by means of the internal and external good of the middle heaven; thus from inmost things to outmost, 9741:2. What the difference is between the good of infancy, the good of ignorance, and the good of intelligence, 2280:2.
Natural Good. What natural good is, and what natural truth, 3167e. Natural good is not human natural good, but is that which is given by the Lord, 3408. Natural good is of a fourfold kind natural good from the love of good, from the love of truth, from the love of evil, and from the love of falsity; and children receive inclinations to these hereditarily from parents, 3469:3. Natural good is not spiritual: the former is from parents, the latter from the Lord by means of regeneration, 34702. Domestic natural good is derived from parents; the interior from the father and the exterior from the mother, 3518. The distinction between good of the natural and natural good: the former is from the Lord, the latter from parents, 3518. How natural good is reformed by means of regeneration, 3470:2. Natural good is from the order of things therein, 3508. Natural good, or its delight serves first as a medium for introducing truths in order, principally when a man is being regenerated: illustrated, 3518:2. Domestic natural good with the Lord, after it had served as a medium, was rejected, 3518:2. Good and truth of the natural are formed from good and truth of the rational by means of influx, 3573, 3616. Concerning good and truth natural-spiritual, and not spiritual, 4988, 4992. See NATURAL. Concerning natural good not spiritual, and spiritual good, or the good of religion, 5032. See NATURAL. Natural good is altogether other than spiritual good; spiritual good is the plane of angels, and natural good is not so; and in that they are easily led away into evil and falsity, 7761. Man can perceive natural, moral, and civil good, but not spiritual good: illustrated, 3768:2. The quality of those who are in natural good, and defile it with falsities, 2463, 2464, 2468:2; they are Moab and the Sons of Ammon, 2468.
Rational Good. Good with the regenerate has with it much of worldly things, which are tempered, 2204. Good flows into the rational by an internal way, but truth is united therein by an external way, 3030. Good flows into the natural by an internal way, truth by an external; but they are conjoined in the rational, 3098. Good of the rational flows into good of the natural immediately, and into natural truth mediately, and this is sd. by 'Isaac loved Esau, and Rebekah loved Jacob,' 3314, 3573, 3616, 3969:2, 4563:4. Truth is initiated into the good in the rational, according to the quality of the instruction, 3141. If good and truth are what form the rational and the natural, they are an image of heaven, if evil and falsity, they are an image of hell, 3513. Truths and goods inmostly exist in the natural, from the good of the rational, 3576. Rational truth without good is morose; it is described, 1949-1951, 1964; but the rational when from good; its quality, 1950:2.
Spiritual and Celestial Good. Celestial good and spiritual good; what the difference is, 4581. What celestial good is, and what spiritual is; the former relates to love to the Lord, the latter to love towards the neighbour, 2227. The good of infancy is not spiritual good, but becomes so by means of the implantation of truth, 3504. Good is not spiritual good before truth is conjoined to it, and then it becomes good, 3951. External goods are delights; they are so far good as they have spiritual good in themselves: illustrated, 1951:2. Spiritual good consists in willing good to another from no reason of self, but from the delight of affection; and no one can come to that, except by means of regeneration from the Lord; concerning which, 4538:4. Spiritual good is truth in its essence: illustrated, 10296. Spiritual good and truth, which are just and equitable, also honest and seemly, succeed each other in order; and upon them conscience is founded, 2915. Celestial good is formed by means of truths, in order from outmost things; concerning which process, 10252, 10266, 10269.
Divine Good. The Lord is Good Itself and Truth Itself, 2011; shown, 10336:2; because He is infinite: shown, 10619. The Lord is Divine Good, and from It is Divine Truth, as the sun, from which is light, 3704, 4577, 8241. The Divine Good of the Lord is simply one, because it is infinite; it is distinguished into celestial and spiritual, which is from dissimilar reception, 10261. Divine Good flows into truths of every kind, but it is of the greatest importance that the truths are genuine, 2531:2. Divine Truth is order, and Divine Good is the essential of order, 1728. Divine Good raises all into heaven, but Truth condemns all to hell, 2258:2.
Good and Truth. Why a distinct idea is not formed between good and truth, 2520:2. Man can with difficulty distinguish between truth and good, because between thinking and willing, 9995:2. All things and each thing in the universe relates to good and truth, and thence to the will and understanding in man, 5232. All things relate to good and truth, which are according to order, and to evil and falsity, which are contrary to order, 7256. All things relate to good and truth, 4390:2; or to evil and falsity, thus to the will and understanding, 10122. There is nothing that does not relate to truth and good, 4409. There is nothing in the universe that does not relate to good and truth, 3166:2. From various reasons it appears as if faith were prior to charity, or truth before good, but it is a fallacy, 3324. With the spiritual man truth is apparently before, and higher than, good, 3325, 3330, 3336. See TRUTH. Good is the elder son, or first-born: illustrated from the state of infants, 3494; man without that good would be a wild beast, 3494. See PRIMOGENITURE and INFANT. Truth is apparently in the first place when a man is being regenerated, but good is first when a man is regenerated, 3539:3, 3548, 3556, 3570, 3576:2, 3603:3, 3701, 3995:2, 4977e. The quality of the state when truth is in the former place, and when it is in the latter, 36l0:3. Good is the first in order, and truth is the last, 3726. When inversion takes place with a man who is being regenerated, namely, when good is in the first place, then there is temptation, 5773. There is in good a continual endeavour to restore the state, so that truth may be subordinate: illustrated, 3610:3. Good is relatively lord, and truth the servant, and they are also brothers, 4267. Truth is the form of good, 3049; illustrated, 4574. Truth cannot be given without good, because truth is a variation of form, and good is delight therefrom, 5147:2. Truth perceives in itself the image of good, and in good the very effigy of itself, from which it is, 3180. Truths are as the fibres, which form good, but which are led and applied to the form from interior good, 3470e. Good produces truth in the natural, almost as life produces fibres in the body, 3579. It is with truth and good as it is with a fibre in which is the spirit, and as a vessel in which is the blood illustrated, 9154:2. Good from the Lord flows into truth, when those things which belong to the love of self and the world, or the lusts of evil and the persuasions of falsity, are removed, 3142, 3147. Good cannot flow into truth so long as a man is in evil, 2388:2. Good and truth are conceived together, but good gives life by means of truth, and both are called the soul, 3299. Good acts by means of truth, 4757. Good has its own quality, thus its own form by means of truths: illustrated from living things, 9154:2. Good implanted by the Lord by means of truths is compared with seed: and illustrated, 9258:2. It is with good and truth as it is with seeds and ground: the seeds are from the rational, ground is in the natural, 3671. Good reduces truths to order, 3316. Truths are arranged in order in goods, when they are according to truths in their order in the heavens, 4302:2. Good arranges truths into the form of heaven, but evil arranges falsities into the form of hell, 5704. Good and truth with the regenerate are arranged in a heavenly form; the best in the middle and so successively, 6028. Good is varied in all and everyone by means of truths, and from truths it receives its quality: illustrated, 3804. Good becomes varied from truths, so that in no case is it altogether alike, 4149:2. Good and truth not genuine serve to introduce genuine truths and good, 3974. Truths and goods are mediums which serve to introduce genuine truths and goods, and are afterwards relinquished, 3665, 3690:2, 3974:2, 3982:2, 3986:5, 4145. Concerning mediate good; it serves to introduce genuine goods and truths, 40632. See REGENERATION. Truths ought to be insinuated into good, that it may be good, and they are insinuated by means of affections: illustrated, 4301. Truths not genuine are insinuated into good; and what truths, 3470:3; and then a man has pain from combat, 3471. Truth has its own good, and all good its own truth: illustrated, 9637. Good acknowledges its own truth, 4358. Truth is with man in the same proportion and degree as good is with him, 2429:2. Good is manifold, and yet it appears as one; and societies of spirits and angels correspond to it, 4066, 4067:2. In one good there are innumerable truths, 4005:3. Truth is multiplied only from good, 5345; concerning which multiplication, 5355. Good multiplies truths around every truth, and makes it as a little star, and also multiplies them successively by means of derivations, 5912. Goods and truths are of a threefold degree in the internal, according to the number of the heavens; and similarly in the external man, which correspond to them, 4154. See DEGREE. Good is reproduced with truth, which enters with the affection of good; and conversely, 4205:2. It is good that acts, and when truth reacts it is from good, 4380. How the reciprocity and reaction of truth into good is from good: illustrated, 5928. There are goods and truths which look inwardly, and others which look outwardly; and man is such that he can look above himself, or to the Divine, and below himself, or to self and the world, 7601, 7604, 7607. See CHARITY. What it is to look from good to truth, and from truth to good. See BACKWARDS. Truths make the quality of good, because truths become goods when they become of the life, 6917. Truth becomes good, when man wills it and does it, 7835. Of what quality truths must be that they may become good, is described, 8725. What the quality of truth is with regard to good, and what it is without good; from various comparisons, 8530. Concerning good and truth - which are of the Lord, and those which are not of the Lord; concerning which, 7564. The Lord has nothing of power from evils, but from Himself, because it is from good and truth, 1749, 1755. Good is born with a man, not truth, on account of hereditary evil; but still truth adheres to good with some power, 3304:2. 'Lives' is spoken of, in the plural, because there are two faculties of life: the will which has to do with good, and the understanding which has to do with truth; and they form one life when the understanding is of the will, or truth of good, 3623. They are not of the Church who are in the affection of truth, and not in good; also who are in the affection of good from which there is not truth, 3963. The affection of truth appears to be from truth, but is from good, 4373. Truth is not truth except from good; and falsity when it is received from good is as truth, 4736. Truth is to good as water to bread, or drink to food, in nutrition, 4976. Good does not appropriate to itself truth, but the good of truth, that is, use, 4984. Truths are applied by means of good, and under good, 5709. To claim to oneself good and truth, see THEFT. Truths lead to good: illustrated, 6044. They who are in truth are rigid; they who are in good are tender, 7068. Good and truth are taken away from the evil, and given to the good: shown, 7770. Good gives the faculty of receiving influx from the Lord, not truth apart from good, 8321:2. Truths appear undelightful, when communication with good is intercepted, 8352. The Lord flows immediately into good, and mediately into truth, 10153. Several references cited where faith and charity, and truth and good are treated of, 3324:3.
Good conjoined to Truth. Concerning the marriage of good and truth from which is conjugial love, see MARRIAGE. Concerning the initiation and conjunction of truth with good, see TRUTH. The conjunction of good with truths, 4353. See REGENERATION. The ancients instituted a marriage between the affection of good and the affection of truth, 1904. There is a marriage of good and truth in all things and each thing, 2173, 2588. Good acknowledges its own truth, and truth its own good, and they are conjoined, 3101, 3102. Good knows its own truth, and truth its own good, 3179. Good makes for itself the truth to which it may be conjoined, because it does not acknowledge anything else for truth than what agrees, 3161. Truth desires good, that is, to do good, and is conjoined to good: illustrated, 9206:2; shown, 9207. Good and truth are in a perpetual endeavour to conjoin themselves, 9495. Good and truth must be conjoined to be anything: illustrated, 10555. The conjunction of good and truth illustrated by means of action and reaction, 10729. See also REGENERATION. How good is conjoined to truth: illustrated by the influx of good into the cognitions of truth, 4067, 4096:4, 4097. Before truth is received and conjoined to good, confirmations as it were precede and effect, that they maybe believed, 4364:3. Truths cannot be accepted, thus not conjoined to good, except with those who are in the good of charity and love: illustrated, 4368:5. There must be innocence and charity that truth may be received and conjoined, 3110. Truths are not conjoined to man, except so far as he is in good, that is, unless they are of the life, and they are not conjoined to the affections of evil: illustrated, 3834:2, 3843:2. When truth is deprived of life from self, it is then conjoined to good, and receives by means of it life itself, 3607:2. Truths are conjoined to good, when they are learned for the sake of the use of life, 3824. Truth is conjoined to good when a man is in charity, 5340e, 5342. Truth is conjoined to good, and good to truth; the process, 5365:2. When truths are conjoined in good, progress is made from generals to particulars and singulars, 4345:5. Between good and truth there is a close conjunction, 5807; illustrated, 5835. The affection of truth is from good, and one is conjoined with the other, 8349, 8356. Good and truth conjoined become as if they were one body, and an image of man: illustrated, 8370. Falsity can never be conjoined to good, nor truth to evils; from experience, 3033. There is the most exquisite exploration and precaution lest truth is conjoined with evil, and falsity with good, 3110, 3116.
The Good of Truth. What the good of truth and the truth of good are; the one is the inverse relatively to the other, 3669. The good of truth is the inverse relatively to the truth of good in the beginning, but afterwards, when a man is regenerated, they are conjoined: illustrated by example, 3688:2. The good of truth in its first existence is truth; an example, 3295. The good of truth is truth in the will and act, 4337:2, 4353:3, 4390. Truth, when it passes into the will, become the good of truth: illustrated, 5526. The good of life pertains to the will, the good of truth to the understanding, and the good of doctrinals to science, 3332:3. Who and of what quality they are who are in the good of truth, 3459, 3463.
The Relation of Good to Regeneration. The first state of those who are being regenerated is that good and truth are from themselves, in which opinion also they are left for reasons here given; but when they are regenerated they believe that these are from the Lord angels perceive it, 2946, 2960, 2974. Before a man is regenerated he regards good from truth; when he is regenerated he regards truths from good, 6247. So far as good and truth from the Lord flow in, evil and falsity are removed, 2411. So far as good and truth are removed from man towards the interiors, so far he is in evil and falsity, 3402:2. When a man is being regenerated influx from the Lord is into the good of the internal man, and by means of good into the truth in the natural, 4015. They who are being regenerated are elevated from sensual things; concerning that elevation, 6183. The natural must necessarily be regenerated, so that the influx may be by means of the internal, 6299:2. They who are being regenerated undergo many states, and always enter more interiorly into heaven, and come nearer to the Lord; concerning which, 6645:2. There are two states of the man who is being regenerated: the first is that they may be led by means of truth, the other that he may be led by means of good, 8516:2, 8643, 8648, 8658. The spiritual man when he is being regenerated proceeds from doctrinals to the good of doctrinals, from this to the good of life; and when he is regenerated, contrariwise, 3332:2. Regeneration is effected from truth to good, which is ascent, and from good to truth, which is descent, 3882. Regeneration is effected by means of spiritual and angelic societies; concerning which, 4067;4. Good is not good; nor is it fructified, before a man has been regenerated; because prior to this there is not in good the soul itself, 3186. A man cannot come into heaven until he is in a state to be led by means of good, 8516:3, 8539:2. See REGENERATION. Man as an angel is not separated from evil, but is withheld from evil, and kept in good, 789, 1581. Angels are perfected to eternity, and yet they cannot advance far beyond the first degree, 6648. The affection of good pertains to life, and the affection of truth is for the sake of life, [2425:2,] 2455.
Various Particulars. It is not known what heaven is, unless it is known what good is, 7181. The one only good that reigns in heaven, and makes heaven, is the good of the Lord's merit, and righteousness: shown, 9486. There are infernals who think evil concerning others; and celestial ones who think good, 1680. Everyone ought to do good, as it were, from self, not to let his hands hang down, 1712:2. Everyone ought to do good and to think truth from himself; and otherwise he does not receive heavenly freedom, 2882, 2883, 2891. Man ought to compel himself to do good, 1937:4, 1947. Good and truth increase immensely in the other life with those who are in charity, 1941. What the affection of good, and the affection of truth are, 1997. Goods and evils with man are altogether separate; if they were mixed together he would perish, 2269e. What it is to be judged from good, what from truth; the Lord never judges anyone but from good, 2335:2. Heavenly freedom relates to the affection of rood and truth; and infernal freedom, to the affection of evil and falsity. See FREEDOM. Use makes it good; but what the use is that is the good, 3049. All beauty is from good, 3080. Both the celestial and the spiritual Church have good and truth, but with a difference; concerning which, 3240. Affection always adjoins itself to things which enter the memory, and they are reproduced together, 3336:2. The affection of good is adjoined to truths in the act, in the natural with man, by the Lord; and by means of the affection of good they are reproduced, and so falsities and evils are removed, 3336:3. To know good and truth is not to have them, but to be affected with them from the heart, and not from the love of self and the world, 3402:3. There are innumerable mediums treated of in the internal sense of the Word, 3573:2. Goods and truths form as it were a city, and this from the form of heaven, and from influx therefrom, 3584. With the evil, good is changed into evil, and truth into falsity, when they descend from heaven, and conversely, 3607. Collateral good of the common stock is such as it is with the nations, 3778:2. All consanguinity in heaven is from good, and it progresses therefrom, 3815. Goods with man are mixed with evils, and truths with falsities, but such evils and falsities as are not contrary to good and truth illustrated by examples, 3993:8; but the goods and truths are in the middle, their evils and falsities at the circumference, 3993:13. To-day there are no cognitions of good and truth, wherefore men cannot easily comprehend those things which are spoken of, 4136:2. What truths of good are, 4385. Love and reverence from the internal towards the Lord are testified by means of doing good, and to those who are in good, 5066, 5067. To-day there is a dispute about the highest good, and no one knows that it is the good of charity without an end of self, 5365:4. They who are in good in the other life are in the faculty of becoming wise: illustrated, 5527. Between internal and external good there must be conjunction, or otherwise it perishes, 5841. In the good of charity there is the all of wisdom, and in this he comes after death who has lived in that good, 5859. Truths seek life in scientifics, and good in truths, 6077. The evil dare not assault good, for so they would be tormented and cast themselves into hell, but they are permitted to assault truth, 6677. Good is that which is by means of heaven, 6720. Good in which there is falsity (if it be ignorance) is accepted; innocence is in it, and a good end, 7887. The delights of the affections adhere to truths, and truths are according to the affections which they excite, 7967. Good from the Lord has heaven and the Lord inmostly in itself, and good from the proprium has hell within itself, 8480. Heavenly good vanishes to the degree that concupiscence increases, 8487:4. The quality and quantity of good in the other life are made visible, 8533. Truth is formed with man according to the uses of life, 9297:4. Concerning the sphere of good from the Lord around heaven and the societies there, 9490, 9534. See SPHERE. All things are from good: illustrated, 9667. Good reigns universally in the heavens, 9832. How the goods of love succeed in the heavens, 9873. Good is implanted in man from infancy, that it may be a plane for receiving truth, 10110. A man is his own truth and his own good, 10298. To do what is good and true for the sake of what is good and true is to love the Lord above all things, and the neighbour as oneself, 10336:4. Man is such as he is as to good, not as to truth without it: illustrated, 10367:2. A man is led by the Lord to good by means of truth, and truth becomes good when it becomes of the will or love, 10367:6. See REGENERATION.
