136. People know that the will and intellect direct the body to do its bidding, for what the intellect thinks, the mouth speaks, and what the will wills, the body does. And it is apparent from this that the body is a form corresponding to the intellect and will, and that because form is predicated also of the intellect and will, the form of the body corresponds to the form of the intellect and will. But to describe the nature of the one and the other form would be out of place here, except to say that there are countless elements in each, and that the countless elements in one operate in concert with those in the other, because they correspond to each other. It is in consequence of this that the mind, or will and intellect, directs the body to do its bidding, thus governing it entirely as it does itself. It follows from this that the interior elements of the mind operate in concert with the interior elements of the body, and that the outward elements of the mind operate in concert with the outward elements of the body. We will say more about the interior elements of the mind later on after we have discussed the degrees of life, and more then as well about the interior elements of the body.
