DLW 371
There is a correspondence of the will with the heart,
and of the intellect with the lungs.
(1) All the things of the mind
are connected with the will and intellect,
and all the things of the body
with the heart and lungs.
(2) There is a correspondence
of the will and intellect with the heart and lungs,
and consequently a correspondence
of all the things of the mind with all things of the body.
(3) The will corresponds to the heart.
(4) The intellect corresponds to the lungs.
(5) Through that correspondence one can discover
many secrets relating to the will and intellect,
and so also to love and wisdom.
(6) A person's mind is his spirit,
and the spirit is the person,
the body being the outward instrument by which
the mind or spirit senses and acts
in the physical world.
(7) The conjunction of a person's spirit with the body
is due to the correspondence
of his will and intellect with his heart and lungs,
and their disjunction
to the absence of that correspondence.
