f the bones (n. 5560-5564). The correspondence of the
skin (n. 5552-5559). The correspondence of heaven with man (n. 911, 1900,
1982, 2996-2998, 3624-3649, 3741-3745, 3884, 4051, 4279, 4403, 4423, 4524,
4525, 6013, 6057, 9279, 9632). All things that exist in the natural world
and in its three kingdoms correspond to all things which appear in the
spiritual world (n. 1632, 1831, 1881, 2758, 2990-3003, 3213-3227, 3483,
3624-3649, 4044, 4053, 4116, 4366, 4939, 5116, 5377, 5428, 5477, 8211,
9280). All things that appear in the heavens are correspondences (n. 1521,
1532, 1619-1625, 1807, 1808, 1971, 1974, 1977, 1980, 1981, 2299, 2601,
3213-3226, 3349, 3350, 3475-3585, 3748, 9481, 9570, 9576, 9577). The
correspondence of the sense of the letter of the Word and of its
spiritual sense is treated of in the Arcana Coelestia throughout; and
on this subject see also the Doctrine of the New Jerusalem concerning
the Sacred Scripture (n. 5-26, 27-65).

378. (3) The will corresponds to the heart. This can not be seen so
clearly taken by itself as when the will is considered in its effects
(as was said above). Taken by itself it can be seen by this, that all
affections, which are of love, induce changes in the heart's pulsations,
as is evident from the pulse of the arteries, which act synchronously
with the heart. The heart's changes and pulsations in accordance with
the love's affections are innumerable. Those felt by the finger are only
that the beats are slow or quick, high or low, weak or strong, regular or
irregular, and so on; thus that there is a difference in joy and in
sorrow, in tranquillity of mind and in wrath, in fearlessness and in

the heart, systolic and diastolic, change and vary in this manner
according to the affections of each one's love, many of the ancient and
after them some modern writers have assigned the affections to the heart,
and have made the heart their dwelling-place. From this have come into
common language such expressions as a stout heart, a timid heart, a joyful
heart, a sad heart, a soft heart, a hard heart, a great heart, a weak
heart, a whole heart, a broken heart, a heart of flesh, a heart of stone;
