"The animal creation is captive to matter: God has given freedom to man. The animal cannot escape the law of nature, whereas man may control it, for he, containing nature, can rise above it. 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. All this proves how man's intelligence has been enabled to free him from the limitations of nature, and... to a certain extent, (he) has broken the chains of matter." (Pt 37- 8) "Man alone, by this spiritual power, has been able to free himself, to soar above the world of matter and to make it his servant." Paris Talks Page 20
