GOVERNMENTS.—There are in heaven, as on the earths, distinctions of dignity and governments, [7].
GRAPES, good, and bad grapes, what they represent in the spiritual world, [294], [76].
GROUND.—Man at his first birth is as a ground in which no seeds are implanted, but which nevertheless is capable of receiving all seeds, and of bringing them forth and fructifying them, [134].
GROVES, [76], [132], [183], [316].
GUILT, Reatus, is principally predicated of the will, [493].
GYMNASIA in the spiritual world, [151*], [207], [315], [380].
GYMNASIA, Olympic, in the spiritual world, where the ancient sophi and many of their disciples met together, [151*].

HAND.—In heaven the right hand is the good of man's ability, and the left the truth thereof, [316]. If, in the Word, mention is made of a thing's being inscribed on the hands, it is because the hands are the ultimates of man, wherein the deliberations and conclusions of his mind terminate, and there constitute what is simultaneous, [314]. The angels can see in a man's hand all the thoughts and intentions of his mind, [314]. Whatever a man examines intellectually, appears to the angels as if inscribed on his hands, [261].
