219. But let us apply what we have said to animate endeavor, animate force, and animate motion. Animate endeavor in the human being, who is an animate entity, is his will united to his intellect. The animate forces in the human being are the constituents that inwardly compose his body, all of which contain motor fibers variously interwoven. And animate motion in the human being is the action produced through those forces by the will united to the intellect. For the interior elements which are properties of his will and intellect constitute the first degree; the interior elements which are properties of his body constitute the second degree; and the whole body that embraces and contains these constitutes the third degree. People know that the interior elements which are properties of the mind have no power except through forces in the body, and that the forces do not have any power either except through the action of that body. [2] These three components do not act through a continuous connection, but through a discrete one, and to act through a discrete connection is to act through correspondences. The interior elements which are properties of the mind correspond to the interior elements of the body, and the interior elements of the body correspond to its outward ones by which actions are produced. Consequently the two prior components have power through the outward constituents of the body. It may seem as though the endeavors and forces in a person have some power even if no action ensues, as in times of sleep and states of repose, but the endeavors and forces are still then directed into the general motor organs of the body, which are the heart and lungs. If the action of these ceases, however, the forces also cease, and with the forces, the endeavors.
