"The spirits of the e...Found another passage:<br /><br />"The spirits of the earth Jupiter, since in the Greatest Man they have relation to the imaginative of thought, speak little and think much... at they are of a genius intermediate between spiritual and celestial; for the spiritual speak sonorously, and bring the whole of their thought into their speech; wherefore their thought, in order to be known, must be gathered from its expression. But not so the celestial; for what is of their will rolls itself by somewhat of thought into what is like a wave, and affects and moves the will of another according to the nature of the subject."<br /><br />Also there are several passages from Heavenly Arcana where false thoughts are represented by the "waves of the sea". In the previous passage he compares thoughts to wings, and the flapping of a wing by a bird would of course form a wave. I am thinking if we knew more about correspondence we could eventually come to a better understanding of physics, but in a more intuitive manner.Doug Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071107950046910342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766820554494978106.post-38069731743858736592013-10-03T20:06:20.244-07:002013-10-03T20:06:20.244-07:00Interesting, indeed, is his use of the word "...Interesting, indeed, is his use of the word "wave". I wonder whether his explanation, "that wave was nothing else than such things as were adjoined to that subject in the memory" is like (or not) how we should view electrical waves in physics and in our bodies.Ian Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13225626428359340605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766820554494978106.post-65124957007258890282013-10-03T17:40:26.124-07:002013-10-03T17:40:26.124-07:00Hi Ian,

I have likened that surrounding wave to spiritual wings, by which the thing thought of is elevated out of the memory. Thereby man has apperception of a thing. That in that surrounding wave there were innumerable things agreeing with the thing thought of, was made evident to me from this, that the spirits who were in a more subtile sphere thereby knew all those things which I had ever known on that subject, and thus that they fully absorb and assume all things which are man's; and genii, who only attend to the lusts and affections, assume those things which are of the loves." (Heavenly Arcana, n. 6200)<br /><br />Which is interesting, because we now know thoughts are in reality waves - they manifest as electrical impulses in our body. This was not known until the 20th century. The wave is the thought, but when it becomes a particle it is the actual operation of the thought, where the potential becomes an actuality.<br />Doug Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071107950046910342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766820554494978106.post-54724694594879169982013-08-30T06:57:48.251-07:002013-08-30T06:57:48.251-07:00Hi Ian,
