Arcana Coelestia (Potts) n. 9556

9556. Three reeds of the lampstand out of the one side there of, and three reeds of the lampstand out of the other side thereof. That hereby is signified full in respect to good and truth, is evident from the signification of "three," as being what is full (see n. 2788, 4495, 7715, 9198); from the signification of "the reeds of the lampstand," as being truths from good and the consequent power (of which above, n. 9555); and from the signification of "out of the one side, and out of the other side," as being from good and the derivative truth. For by the things on the right side of the body are signified goods, and by those on the left side the truths thence derived, as is the case with the right and left sides of the face, the right and left eyes, the right and left ears, the right and left feet, and in like manner with all other things in the body.
