Nevertheless, by means of the tissues so marvelously intertwining and flowing into each other, it would never seem possible to the observing eye that actions could arise so normally, when yet every single fiber is looking after its own role in society with the others, which together constitute a unity of action among an unlimited variety of other societal actions.
A mental image of this kind can be formed of inward ideas, or those pertaining to the angels of the inward heaven compared to the inward things of the world of spirits.

For one idea of the interior world of spirits may be compared to one action [composed]) of indefinite forces and forms thus acting and entering into the littlest action and so forth. - 1748, July 7.
