vii. All this can be effected only as it appears to man that he thinks
from himself and disposes by himself.

193. ( i ) _All man's thoughts are from affections of his life's love;
there are and can be no thoughts apart from them._ It has been shown
above in this treatise and also in the one entitled _Angelic Wisdom about
Divine Love and Wisdom,_ Parts I and V particularly, what the life's love
and the affections and the thoughts from them are essentially, and what
the sensations and actions arising from them in the body are. Inasmuch as
these are the causes from which human prudence issues as an effect,
something needs to be said about them here also. For what has been
written earlier elsewhere cannot be as closely connected with what is
written later as it will be if the same things are recalled and placed
with both in view.

[2] Earlier in this treatise, and in that just mentioned about _Divine
Love and Wisdom,_ it was shown that in the Lord are divine love and
wisdom; that these two are life itself; that from the two man has will
and understanding, will from the divine love and understanding from the
divine wisdom; that heart and lungs in the body correspond to these two;
that this may make plain that as the pulsation of the heart along with
the respiration of the lungs rules the whole man as to the body, so the
will together with the understanding rules him as to his mind; that thus
there are two principles of life in everyone, one natural and the other
spiritual, and that the natural principle of life is the heartbeat, and
the spiritual is the will of the mind; that each adjoins a consort to
itself with which it cohabits and performs the functions of life; and
that the heart joins the lungs to itself, and the will the understanding
to itself.

[3] Now, as the soul of the will is love, and the soul of the
understanding is wisdom, both of them from the Lord, love is the life of
everyone and is such life as it has in union with wisdom; or what is the
same, the will is the life of everyone and is such life as it has in
conjunction with the understanding. More on the subject may be seen above
in this treatise and especially in _Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and
Wisdom,_ Parts I and V.

194. It was also demonstrated in the treatises mentioned that the life's
love produces subordinate loves from itself, called affections; that
these are exterior and interior; and that taken together they
