ULCERS, [253].
ULTIMATE.—It is a universal law that things primary exist, subsist, and persist from things ultimate, [44]. That the ultimate state is such as the successive order is, from which it is formed and exists, is a canon which, from its truth, must be acknowledged in the learned world, [313].
ULYSSES, companions of, changed into hogs, [521].
UNCHASTITY, difference between, and what is not chaste, [139]. Unchastity is entirely opposed to chastity, [139]. There is a conjugial love which is not chaste, and yet is not unchastity, [139]. The love opposite to conjugial love is essential unchastity, [139]. If the renunciations of whoredoms be not made from a principle of religion, unchastity lies inwardly concealed like corrupt matter in a wound only outwardly healed, [149].
UNCLEAN or FILTHY, every, principle of hell is from adulterers, [500].
UNDERSTANDING, the.—Man has understanding from heavenly light, [233]. The understanding considered in itself is merely the ministering and serving principle of the will, [196]. It is only the form of the will, [493]. Man is capable of elevating his intellect above his natural loves, [96]. See [Will and Understanding].
UNION.—Spiritual union of two married partners is the actual adjunction of the soul and mind of the one to the soul and mind of the other, [321]. Conjugial love is the union of souls, [179], [480], [482]. Union between two married partners in heaven is like that of the two tents in the breast, which are called the heart and the lungs, [75].
UNITY, the, of souls between two married partners in heaven is seen in their faces; the life of the husband is in the wife, and the life of the wife is in the husband—they are two bodies but one soul, [75].
UNIVERSALS.—Whoever knows universals may afterwards comprehend particulars, because the latter are in the former as parts in a whole, [261]. Good and truth are the universals of creation, [84], [92]. There are three universals of heaven and three universals of hell, [261]. A universal principle exists from, and consists of singulars, [388]. If we take away singulars, a universal is a mere name, and is like somewhat superficial, which has no contents within, [388]. A universal truth is acknowledged by every intelligent man, [60]. Every universal truth is acknowledged as soon as it is heard, in consequence of the Lord's influx and at the same time of the confirmation of heaven, [62].
