it.{1}

{Footnote 1} The correspondence of the heart and lungs with the
Greatest Man, which is heaven, from experience (n. 3883-3896),
The heart corresponds to those in the celestial kingdom, and
the lungs to those in the spiritual kingdom (n. 3885-3887).
There is in heaven a pulse like that of the heart, and a
respiration like that of the lungs but interior (n. 3884, 3885,
3887). There the pulse of the heart varies in conformity to
states of love, and the respiration in conformity to states of
charity and faith (n. 3886, 3887, 3889). In the Word the
"heart" means the will, and "from the heart" means from the
will (n. 2930, 7542, 8910, 9113, 10336). In the Word the
"heart" also signifies love, and "from the heart" means from
love (7542, 9050, 10336).

and lungs is the general correspondence of heaven with man. There is
a less general correspondence with each one of his members, organs,
and viscera; and what this is shall also be explained. In the
Greatest Man, which is heaven, those that are in the head excel all
others in every good, being in love, peace, innocence, wisdom,
intelligence, and consequent joy and happiness. These flow into the
head of man and the things belonging to the head and corresponding
thereto. In the Greatest Man, or heaven, those that are in the breast
are in the good of charity and of faith, and these flow into the
breast of man and correspond to it. In the Greatest Man, or heaven,
those that are in the loins and the organs devoted to generation are
in marriage love. Those in the feet are in the lowest good of heaven,
which is called spiritual natural good. Those in the arms and hands
are in the power of truth from good. Those that are in the eyes are
in understanding; those in the ears are in attention and obedience;
those in the nostrils are in perception; those in the mouth and
tongue are in the ability to converse from understanding and
perception; those in the kidneys are in truths searching, separating,
and correcting; those in the liver, pancreas, and spleen are in
various purifications of good and truth; and so with the rest. All
these flow into the like things of man and correspond to them. This
inflow of heaven is into the functions and uses of the bodily
members; and the uses, since they are from the spiritual world, take
