7481. As this is what they correlate with in the Grand Man, that province lying between the cerebrum and the cerebellum corresponds to them. For with those whose cerebrum and cerebellum have been linked together so far as spiritual activities are concerned, the face acts in unison with thought, so that the affection itself which lies behind the thought shines from the face; and from the affection, together with certain signals given by the eyes as well, a general indication of the thought is given. That explains why, when those spirits were close by me, I had a distinct feeling that the front part of my head was being pulled towards the back part, thus the cerebrum towards the cerebellum.
