2782. Moreover, we conversed about the inflow of everything of the mind into the tissues of the body. There is no thought in the beginnings that are in the head without some interaction of the finer tissues throughout the whole body, and indeed an interaction does exist when there is conviction. Then all things of the body are compliant. So in a person who is corrupt, the whole system is corrupt. It is different if there is only knowledge and no more inward conviction. 1748, 10 Aug.
