"Without the Holy Spirit he (man) would have no intellect, he would be unable to acquire his scientific knowledge... The illumination of the Holy Spirit gives to man the power of thought, and, through the mediation of the Prophets of God, teaches spiritual virtues to man." Paris Talks Page 59 (22:5)

"The power of the Holy Spirit, enlightening man's intelligence, has enabled him to discover means of bending many natural laws to his will. He flies through the air, floats on the sea, and even moves under the waters... The Holy Spirit will give to man greater powers than these, if only he will strive after the things of the spirit and endeavor to attune his heart to the Divine infinite love." Paris Talks Page 37 to 8 . (22:6)

"'Love is the breath of the Holy Spirit in man.'" (Pt 30) "It is only by the breath of the Holy Spirit (love) that spiritual development can come about." "Divine virtues are the breathings of the Holy Spirit itself." "By the power of the Holy Spirit, working through his soul, man is able to perceive the Divine reality of things." (Pt 133; Pup 200; Pt 85) .Paris Talks Page 37 to 8 . (22:7)
