408. (x) Love or the will introduces wisdom or the understanding into all things of its house. By the house of love or the will is meant the whole man as to all his mind's belongings. Because these correspond to all the things of the body (as shown above), the house means also the whole man as to all the parts of his body, called members, organs, and viscera. That the lungs are introduced into all these in the same way as the understanding into all things of the mind can be confirmed from what has been shown above: for example, love or the will prepares a home or bed-chamber for its future wife, which is wisdom or the understanding (n. 402); love or the will prepares all the things in its own human form, or in its home, so that it may act together with wisdom or the understanding (n. 403). From the facts stated in these passages, it is plain that each and all things in the whole body are connected by ligaments put forth from the ribs, spine, sternum, and diaphragm, and from the peritonaeum which depends on these, in such a way that, when the lungs are breathing, they are similarly depressed and raised in alternate movements. That the alternations of breathing also penetrate to the viscera themselves, even to their inmost recesses, can be established from a study of anatomy; for the ligaments mentioned above adhere to the sheaths of the viscera, and the sheaths, by thrusts outward, penetrate to their innermost parts, as do the arteries and veins also through their branches. Hence it can be established that the breathing of the lungs is in entire conjunction with the heart in every part of the body; and in order that the conjunction may be complete in every respect, even the heart itself is in pulmonic motion, for it lies in the bosom of the lungs and is connected with them by the auricles, and rests upon the diaphragm, whereby its arteries also participate in the pulmonic motion. Moreover the stomach has a similar union with the lungs by the connection of its gullet with the trachea. These anatomical facts are adduced with the purpose of showing the kind of conjunction existing between love or the will and wisdom or the understanding, and of both together with all things of the mind; for it is similar.
