1058. In the human body and its internal organs, especially in the cerebrum and cerebellum, as well as in both medullas, likewise in the liver, and kidneys, spiritual qualities are depicted by their striated, almost marrowy bodies, especially those which are white. Coarser spiritual qualities are depicted by the more visible ducts, so connected and situated that they still relate to the striate body, thus by all ducts in which any liquid is secreted, except the blood vessels. Such striped bodies are therefore also white; and if very finely striped, they are transparent.
