3118. THAT NATURALS EXIST FROM SPIRITUALS. I spoke with spirits concerning naturals: that they exist from spirituals, for the reason, that spirits are given who relate to [referunt] the bladder, ureters and the like: and indeed was confirmed by this, which everyone can know, that the acts of the body which are natural, exist by thought through the will which are spiritual things. This is clearly perceived from spiritual idea, so that natural acts exist from such things as they do not comprehend, to wit, by thought through the will. So in everything else. - 1748, September 10.
