ESSE and EXISTERE.—The esse of the substance of God is Divine good, and the existere of the substance of God is Divine truth, [115].
ESSENTIALS.—Love, wisdom, and use, are three essentials, together constituting one divine essence, [183]. These three essentials flow into the souls of men, [183].
ETERNITY is the infinity of time, [185].
ETHICS is one of those sciences by which an entrance is made into things rational, which are the ground of rational wisdom, [163].
EUNUCHS.—Of those who are born eunuchs, or of eunuchs so made, [151]. Who are understood by the eunuchs who make themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake, Matt. xix. 12, [156].
EVIL is not from creation; nothing but good exists from creation, [444]. Man himself is the origin of evil, not that that origin was implanted in him by creation, but that he, by turning from God to himself, implanted it in himself, [444]. Love without wisdom is love from man, and this love is the origin of evil, [444]. No one can be withdrawn from evil unless he has been first led into it, [510]. So far as any one removes evil, so far a capacity is given for good to succeed in its place, [147]. So far as evil is hated, so far good is loved, [147]. Evils and falses, after they arose, were distinguished into genera, species, and differences, [479]. All evils are together of the external and internal man; the internal intends them, and the external does them, [486]. So far as the understanding favors evils, so far a man appropriates them to himself, and makes them his own, [489]. See [Hereditary].
EXTENSION cannot be predicated of things spiritual, [158]. The reason why, [389].
EXTERNALS derive from their internals their good or evil, [478]. Of the external derived from the internal, and of the external separate from the internal, [148]. How man after death puts off externals, and puts on internals, [48*].
EYE, the, does not see and discern various particulars in objects, but they are seen and discerned by the spirit, [440]. In heaven the right eye is the good of vision, and the left the truth thereof, [316].
