AE 435 - good of love (heart), truth from that good (lungs), & good of life (body)

AE 435a [3]
. . . there are three things
which fully constitute and form each universal essential,
namely, the good of love,
the truth from that good,
and the good of life therefrom.
The good of life is the effect of the other two;
for unless there is a third that is brought forth,
the two former can have no existence,
that is, unless there is the good of life,
the good of love and truth from that good can have no existence.
These three are like the final cause,
the effecting cause,
and the effect.
The good of love is the final cause,
truth from that good is the effecting cause
or that through which good is brought into effect,
and the good of life
is the effect in which the prior causes have existence;
and these have no existence
unless there is an effect in which they may exist and subsist.
Again, these three are like the pulse of the heart,
the respiration of the lungs,
and the action of the body;
these make a one: for if the body does not act,
or does not let itself be put in action,
as is the case when a person dies, the other two cease.
It is the same with the good of love,
the truth from that good,
and the good of life.
The good of love is like the heart,
and is also meant by "heart" in the Word;
truth from that good is like the lungs,
and is also meant by "breath" and "soul" in the Word;
and the good of life is like the body
in which the others act and live.
Three like things are in everything that has existence,
and when the three exist together
there is full formation.
