Man feels that to be his own which inflows from the Lord; and by this means conjunction is effected (40 [CL 122]).

The unition of the Lord and man takes place by means of influx, as a force acting into its organ. There is adjunction, and there is communication (51).

There is influx from the secondary Divine essence that is round about the Lord, in the sun, in the midst of which He is (51).

How the influx of the Lord into man's soul takes place, and thence into the higher parts of the mind, and through these into the lower parts of the mind, and thence into the body, and makes conatus; which, when opportunity offers, becomes act (illustrated, 57).

The influx of conjugial love into the inmosts, and thence into what follows in order, to ultimates (58). (See CONJUGIAL LOVE.)

There is no descent or influx from the brains or from the head into the body; for the mind of man is his spirit, which is a perfect man, and to the body it is everywhere within; so that the terms descent and influx are used from appearance (60, 61 [CL 315]).

Man's mind or spirit acts instantaneously into the body; it acts simultaneously, and not successively, for the spiritual is not in place; it is received by the material body, not in an instant, but in a moment (60, 61).

There are three degrees in the mind, which are clothed with materials in the body (60, 61).

No one can love the Lord from himself, but from the Lord, and this as from himself: illustrated; also by the laws of influx (concerning which, see 70).
