127. In order that love and wisdom in an angel or person may be united, there are paired elements in all the constituents of his body. His eyes, ears and nostrils are paired organs. His hands, loins and feet are paired. The brain is divided into two hemispheres, the heart into two chambers, the lungs into two lobes, and so on with other organs. Thus we find in angels and people a right side and a left; and all their constituents located to the right relate to love which gives rise to wisdom, and all their constituents located to the left relate to wisdom arising from love; or to say the equivalent, all their constituents located to the right relate to good which gives rise to truth, and all their constituents located to the left relate to truth arising from good.
Angels and people have these pairs in order that love and wisdom, or good and truth, may operate in union and look as one to the Lord. But more on this subject in subsequent discussions.
