9561. So for the six reeds going out of the lampstand. That this signifies the power of truth from good in respect to all things in the spiritual heaven, is evident from the signification of "six," as being all things in the complex (see above, n. 9555); from the signification of "the reeds," as being truths from good and the consequent power (n. 9555, 9558); and from the signification of "the lampstand," as being the spiritual heaven (n. 9548). From this it is evident that by "the six reeds going out of the lampstand" is signified the power of truth from good in respect to all things in the spiritual heaven.
