     How happy man’s state would be if he believed that all
     good flows in from the Lord and all evil from hell. (n.
     6325).

     Those who deny heaven or who know nothing about it do not
     know that there is any influx from heaven (n. 4322, 5649,
     6193, 6479).

     What influx is, illustrated by comparisons (n. 6128, 6190,
     9407).

[7] Everything of life flows in from the first fountain of life, because that is the source of it; and it continually flows in thus everything of life is from the Lord (n. 3001, 3318, 3337, 3338, 3344, 3484, 3619, 3741-3743, 4318-4320, 4417, 4524, 4882, 5847, 5986, 6325, 6468-6470, 6479, 9276, 10196).
Influx is spiritual and not physical, that is, influx is from the spiritual world into the natural, and not from the natural into the spiritual (n. 3219, 5119, 5259, 5427, 5428, 5477, 6322, 9110).
Influx is through the internal man into the external, or through the spirit into the body, and not the reverse, because the spirit of man is in the spiritual world, and his body in the natural (n. 1702, 1707, 1940, 1954, 5119, 5259, 5779, 6322, 9380).

     The internal man is in the spiritual world and the
     external in the natural world (n. 978, 1015, 3628, 4459,
     4523, 4524, 6057, 6309, 9701-9709, 10156, 10472).

     There is an appearance that there is an influx from the
     externals of man into internals, but this is a fallacy (n.
     3721).

     With man there is influx into things rational, and through
     these into knowledges, and not the reverse (n. 1495, 1707,
     1940).

     What the order of influx is (n. 775, 880, 1096, 1495,
     7270).

     There is direct influx from the Lord, and likewise mediate
     influx through the spiritual world or heaven (n. 6063,
     6307, 6472, 9682, 9683).

     The Lord’s influx is into the good in man, and through
     good into truth, and not the reverse (n. 5482, 5649, 6027,
     8685, 8701, 10153).

     Good gives the capacity to receive influx from the Lord,
     but truth without good does not (n. 8321).

     Nothing that flows into the thought is harmful, but only
     what flows into the will, since this is what is
     appropriated to man (n. 6308).

     [8] There is a general influx (n. 5850).

     This is a continual effort to act in accordance with order
     (n. 6211).

     This influx is into the lives of animals (n. 5850).

     Also into the subjects of the vegetable kingdom (n. 3648).

     It is in accord with this general influx that thought
     falls into speech with man, and will into acts and
     movements (n. 5862, 5990, 6192, 6211).

Subject spirits.

     [9] Spirits sent forth from societies of spirits to other
     societies and to other spirits, are called “subjects” (n.
     4403, 5856).
