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.

UNIVERSE.—­The universe, with all its created subjects, is from the divine love, by the divine wisdom, or what is the same thing, from the divine good, by the divine truth, 87.  All things which proceed from the Lord, or from the sun, which is from him, and in which he is, pervade the created universe, even to the last of all its principles, 389.  All thing in the universe have relation to good and truth, 60.  In every thing in the universe good is conjoined with truth, and truth with good, 60.

USE is essential good, 183, 77.  Use is doing good from love by wisdom, 183.  Creation can only be from divine love by divine wisdom, in divine use, 183.  All things in the universe are procreated and formed from use, in use, and for use, 183.  All use is from the Lord, and is effected by angels and men, as of themselves, 7.  Uses are the bonds of society; there are as many bonds as there are uses, and the number of uses is infinite, 18.  There are spiritual uses, such as regard love towards God, and love towards our neighbor, 18.  There are moral and civil uses, such as regard the love of the society and state to which a man belongs, and of his fellow-citizens among whom he lives, 18.  There are natural uses, which regard the love of the world and its necessities, 18:  and there are corporeal uses, such as regard the love of self-preservation with a view to superior uses, 18.  The delight of the love of uses is a heavenly delight, which enters into succeeding delights in their order, and according to the order of succession exalts them and makes them eternal, 18.  Delights follow use, and are also communicated to man according to the love thereof, 68.  The delight of being useful derives its essence from love, and its existence from wisdom, 5.  This delight, originating in love and operating by wisdom, is the very soul and life of all heavenly joys, 5.  Those who are only in natural and corporeal uses are satans, loving only the world and themselves, for the sake of the world; and those who are only in corporeal uses are devils, because they live to themselves alone, and to others only for the sake of themselves, 18.  Happiness is derived to every angel from the use he performs in his function, 6.  The public good requires that every individual, being a member of the common
