369. THAT THERE IS AN ENDEAVOR OF THE HEAVENS WHICH HOLDS [THE WHOLE BODY TOGETHER] It was shown me by a real activity which came to my sensation, that there is such a formation, thus conservation of the viscera in the body consequently, that there is such a correspondence of the whole of heaven with every man, which correspondence is formed from the imperceptible endeavor [conatus] of all things; from the endeavor arises the act, from the act arises the endeavor. 1747, Dec. 20.
