362. The will and intellect, which are the recipient vessels of love and wisdom, exist in the brain, in the whole and in every part of it, and consequently in the body, in the whole and in every part of it. We propose to demonstrate this according to the following outline:
(1) Love and wisdom, and consequently the will and intellect, constitute a person's very life. (2) A person's life exists in its first elements in the brain, and in its derivative elements in the body. (3) As life is in its first elements, so it is in the whole and in every part. (4) Life through those first elements is present from every part in the whole, and from the whole in every part. (5) The character of the love determines the character of the wisdom, and so the character of the person.
