ultimate principle, it is from its origin natural, 158.  The supreme principles in man are turned upwards to God, the middle principles outwards to the world, and the lowest principles downwards to self, 269.  In man are all the affections of love, and thence all the perceptions of wisdom, compounded in the most perfect order, so as to make together what is unanimous, and thereby a one, 361.  Man, as to the affections and thoughts of his mind, is in the midst of angels and spirits, and is so consociated with them, that were he to be plucked asunder from them, he would instantly die, 28.  Man was created for uses, 249.  Man is male and female, 32.  The male man and the female man were so created, that from two they may become as it were one man, or one flesh; and when they become one, then, taken together, they are a man (homo) in his fulness; but without such conjunctions they are two, and each is a divided or half man, 37.  Man was born to be wisdom, and the woman to be the love of the man’s wisdom, 75.  Man is such as his love is, and not such as his understanding is, 269.  The natural man, separate from the spiritual, is only man as to the understanding, and not as to the will; such a one is only half man, 432.  A spiritual man is sensible of, and perceives spiritual delight, which is a thousand times superior to natural delight, 29.  Man lives a man after death, 28.  Man after death is not a natural man, but a spiritual or substantial man, 31.  A spiritual or substantial man sees a spiritual or substantial man, as a natural or material man sees a natural or material man, 31.  Man after death puts off every thing which does not agree with his love, yea, he successively puts on the countenance, the tone of voice, the speech, the gestures, and the manners of the love proper to his life, 36; instead of a material body he enjoys a substantial one, wherein natural delight grounded in spiritual is made sensible in its eminence, 475.  Men left in the forests when they were about two or three years old, 151*, 152*.  Difference between men and beasts, 133, 134, 498.
