1830. Universal realms interact with all the components of the human being, otherwise the individual parts could not remain intact
It is notable that the organs of the body interact entirely with their own atmospheres and with their modes of functioning, as, for example, the eye interacts with the ether, the ear with the air, the tongue with flavors carried and enhanced [to the taste] in water, the nostrils with odors in the air. Thus the individual organs are developed to match the functionings of their own universe, and are thus the organs adapted to it.
1830. THAT UNIVERSALS CORRESPOND WITH THE THINGS WHICH ARE IN MAN, AND THAT OTHERWISE SINGULARS COULD NOT SUBSIST.
It may be known that the organs of the body correspond entirely to their atmospheres and their modes of action, as the eye to the ether, the ear to the air, the tongue to the things which swim in the water and excite [the taste], the nostrils to the odors in the atmosphere; and thus the singulars are formed to the modifications of their universe [or whole], and become in this way their conforming organs.
1830. Quod universa correspondeant iis quae in homine sunt, et quod aliter singularia subsistere nequeant
Notum esse potest, quod organa corporis prorsus correspondeant suis atmosphaeris, earumque modis agendi, sicut oculus aetheri, auris aeri, lingua iis quae in aquis natant et excitantur, nares iis quae in atmosphaera, ita singula formata sunt ad modificationes sui universi, quae ita sunt eorum organa conformia. 1
