The principle of truth in the soul is the origin of seed, in which is the soul of man, 220, 483.  It is in a perfect human form, covered with substances from the purest principles of nature, whereof a body is formed in the womb of the mother, 183.  The soul of man, and of every animal, from an implanted tendency to self-propagation, forms itself, clothes itself, and becomes seed, 220; because the soul is a spiritual substance, which is not a subject of extension but of impletion, and from which no part can be taken away, but the whole may be produced without any loss thereof, hence it is that it is as fully present in the smallest receptacles, which are seeds, as in its greatest receptacle, the body, 220.  The soul of every man, by its origin, is celestial, wherefore it receives influx immediately from the Lord, 482.  The soul and the mind are the man, since both constitute the spirit which lives after death, and which is in a perfect human form, 260.  The soul constitutes the inmost principles not only of the head, but also of the body, 178.  The soul and mind adjoin themselves closely to the flesh of the body, to operate and produce their effects, 178.  A masculine soul, 220.  How a feminine principle is produced from a male soul, 220.  How a union of the souls of married partners is effected, 172.  See Mind, obs.

SPEECH, the, of wisdom is to speak from causes, 75.  From the thought, which also is spiritual, speech flows, 220.

SPHERE.—­All that which flows from a subject, and encompasses and surrounds it, is named a sphere, 386.  From the Lord, by the spiritual sun, proceeds a sphere of heat and light, or of love and wisdom, to operate ends which are uses, 386.  The universal sphere of generating and propagating the celestial things, which are of love; and the spiritual things, which are of wisdom, and thence the natural things, which are of offspring, proceeds from the Lord, and fills the universal heaven and the universal world, 355.  The divine sphere which looks to the preservation of the universe in its created state by successive generations, is called the sphere of procreating, 386.  The divine sphere which looks to the preservation of generations in their beginnings, and afterwards in their progressions, is called the sphere of protecting the things created, 386.  There are several other divine spheres, which are named according to uses, as the sphere of defence of good and truth against evil and false, the sphere of reformation and regeneration, the sphere of innocence and peace, the sphere of mercy and grace, &c., 222, 386.  But the universal of
