STUDY, what was the, of the men who lived in the silver age, 76.  Study of sciences in the spiritual world, 207.

STUPIDITY of the age, 481.

SUBLIMATION.—­The purification of conjugial love may be compared to the purification of natural spirits, as effected by chemists, and called sublimation, 145.

SUBJECT, every, receives influx according to its form, 86.  All a man’s affections and thoughts are in forms, and thence from forms, for forms are their subjects, 186.  A subject without predicates is an entity which has no existence in reason, 66.  See Substance.

SUBSISTENCE is perpetual existence, 86.

SUBSTANCE.—­There is no substance without a form, an unformed substance not being any thing, 66.  There is not any good or truth which is not in a substance as in its subject, 66.  Every idea of man’s, however sublimated, is substantial, that is, affixed to substance, 66.  Material things derive their origin from things substantial, 207.  In man, all the affections of love, and all the perceptions of wisdom, are rendered substantial, for substances are their subjects, 361.  See Form.

SUBSTANTIAL.—­The difference between what is substantial and what is material is like the difference between what is prior and what is posterior, 31.  Spiritual things are substantial, 328.  Spirits and angels are in substantial and not in materials, 328.  Man after death is a substantial man, because this substantial man lay inwardly concealed in the natural or material man, 31.  The substantial man sees the substantial man, as the material man sees the material man, 31.  All things in the spiritual world are substantial and not material, whence it is that there are in their perfection in that world, all things which are in the natural world, and many things besides, 207.  Every idea of man’s, however sublimated, is substantial, that is, attached to substances, 66.

SUCCESSIVE.—­There is a successive order and a simultaneous order, and there is an influx of successive order into simultaneous order, 314.  See Order.

SUMMARY of the Lord’s commandments, 340, 82.

SUN.—­There is a sun of the spiritual world as there is a sun of the natural world, 380.  The sun of the spiritual world proceeds immediately from the Lord, who is in the midst of it, 235.  That sun is pure love 235, 380, 532.  It appears fiery before the angels, altogether as the sun of our world appears before men, 235.  It does not set nor rise, but stands constantly between the zenith and the horizon, that is, at the elevation of 45 degrees, 137.  The spiritual sun is pure love, and the natural sun is pure fire, 182, 532.  Whatever proceeds from the spiritual sun partakes of life, since it is pure love; whatever proceeds from the natural sun partakes nothing of life, since it is pure fire, 532.  The spiritual sun is in the centre of the universe, and its operation, being without space and time, is instant and present from first principles in last, 391.  For what end the sun of the natural world was created, 235.  The fire of the natural sun exists from no other source than from the fire of the spiritual sun, which is divine love, 380.
