1686. Their action was into the left knee, a little above and below it, causing a very perceptible wavy vibration. Hence I was able to conclude that it is not bodily things-which pertain to the footsole-but things of nature, that they love. For a motion of this kind above the knee, halfway up the upper leg, symbolizes what is heavenly, so that heavenly qualities have been joined with those of nature. Thus there are those in whom heaven and earthly qualities are joined together, just as there are others in whom spiritual and earthly qualities have been joined. 1748, 25 March.
