Balancing inner masculine/feminine, potent forces
The union of the masculine and feminine forces in man is most potent in the affectional nature, and that these forces should endure and never be separated by external causes was laid down as a law by Jesus. He said, as recorded in Mark 10:6-9. Twelve Powers of Mind 53/5.5

Bliss, married life, divorces unknown
If the laws of conjugality were better understood, the bliss of courtship would continue throughout all the years of married life and divorces would be unknown.
Twelve Powers of Man, Pg. 57/5.14
Bliss, mission of I AM, Garden of Eden, all possibilities
You are demonstrating the so-called fall of man every time you lose yourself in the whirl of sense pleasure. The mission of the I AM is happiness. It seeks joy and unfolding man's soul and body. When man is expressing the ideas of Divine Mind, bringing forth the qualities of Being in divine order, he dwells in Eden, a state of bliss, in a harmonious, productive consciousness containing all possibilities of growth. Teach on Truth, Pg. 30/3.11.

Breath, even breathing, the silence, God's life-sustaining air
When you start to go into the silence, you should breathe evenly, in the happy feeling that you are taking in great drafts of God's pure life-sustaining air, which is being used by every cell and blood corpuscle. Healing Letters, Pg. 44/5.3
Breath, relaxation, in-filling
Unlimited as the infinite Provider is as our resource, we must still the restless mortal in order to receive; then deep and full shall the inner breath be to fill our relaxed and receptive organism. You are rested now and there is no compelling force to urge you to outer action. Healing Letters, Pg. 157/22.13
Breath, physiology, quickening centers
Students of physiology find that the body has unused resources that can be temporarily awakened. Through deep breathing they bring into action certain centers in the lungs that give additional purity to the blood; by the quickening of other centers in the body, weak persons can be made strong.
Teach on Truth, Pg. 147/13.4.

Desire, form of prayer, spiritual blessings
Since desire is a form of prayer, every impulse or desire of the soul for life, love, light, is a prayer. Earnest, intense desire draws the whole being up out of mortality and its transient joys into the power to appreciate and receive real spiritual blessings. Dynamics for Living, Pg. 91/9.7

Divinity, perceiving divinity in man and woman, perfect harmony, unity consciousness
The love that is the fulfilling of the law is not the personal affection and the clinging to personality that is the usual expression of a happily mated man and woman. Love that fulfills the law is the great sense of unity that prompts the soul to seek the understanding and practice of that which is for the welfare not only of the beloved but of all humanity. When woman recognizes the divine in men and inspires them to express it, she has no difficulty in living happily with a man to whom she has been drawn. When man understands women and adores the divine qualities in them he will be endowed with power from on high to live so that perfect harmony results. Healing Letters, Pg. 188/23.27

Ecstasy, divine love, heart center
Through repeated affirmations of love toward Christ, man develops a consciousness of divine love that abides at the heart center and fills the whole body with ecstasy. Mysteries Of John, Pg. 180/21.9
Ecstasy, pure stream of ecstasy, love, magnetic power
Love is a divine principle and man can know it in its purity by touching it at its fountainhead. There it is not tinged in any way by man's formative thought, but flows forth a pure, pellucid stream of infinite ecstasy. It has no consciousness of good or evil, pure or impure, but pours itself out in great oceans of living magnetic power, to be used by whosoever will. Teach on Truth, Pg. 52/5.4
Ecstasy,Church of Christ, enveloping presence, transformation, abundance
The Church of Christ covers every department of man's existence and enters into every fiber of his being. He carries it with him day and night, seven days a week. He lives in it as a fish lives in water; as he becomes conscious of its enveloping presence, he is transformed into a new creature. Life becomes an ecstasy, and his cup is full to overflowing. Teach on Truth, Pg. 111/9.32.
Ecstasy, perpetual ecstasy, interior faculty
When he (man) is born into the Spirit, he cuts off the indulgence of the external, and is delighted to learn that sensation finds an interior faculty through which it expresses itself in perpetual ecstasy. Talks on Truth, Pg. 84/7.39.
Ecstasy, faith in God
It is found by those who persistently exercise faith in God that there is ........ the permanent presence of divine substance within, and this gives rise to the most exquisite joy. This inward ecstasy is what gives the countenance of peace to the saint and of illuminated purity to the sister of mercy.
Mysteries of Genesis Pg. 111/7.20
Ecstasy, sensation, union of mind and matter
Sensation, feeling, affection, and love are closely allied. Sensation is personified in the Edenic allegory as the serpent, the most subtle of the beasts of the field (animal forces alive in substance). The subtlety of sensation in its various guises is in its pleasure, the thrill that comes when mind and matter join in the ecstasy of life. Twelve Powers of Man, Pg. 43/4.4
Ecstasy, beyond description, spiritual body
Only those who have come into consciousness of the spiritual body can feel this holy stream of life. When the ego has found it, and laved in its cleansing currents, the ecstasy of Elysian realms is experienced. It cannot be described, because all the sensations of the mortal consciousness are coarse, compared with its transcendent sweetness and purity. Twelve Powers of Man, Pg. 164/13.15

Joy, unity consciousness, willingness
There are goodness everlasting and joy beyond expression in a perfect union between your mind and this perfect Mind. The point of contact is a willingness and a seeking on your part.
Christian Healing, Pg. 14/1.19.
Joy, Unity consciousness
Realization means at-one-ment, completion, perfection, wholeness, repose, resting in God. A realization of health brings to the consciousness an inner knowing that the divine law has been fulfilled in thought and act. This at-one- ment with God brings a lasting joy that cannot be taken away.
Dynamics for Living, Pg. 321/26.11
Joy, love, eternal present
When love touches the heart, self drops out of the mind. "Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her." Love in the heart lifts us out of the time limits of sense consciousness into the joy of the eternal present. Mysteries of Genesis Pg. 130/9.14
Joy, love
The abiding in the Spirit opens up the various spiritual powers one after the other. Love is a great force that dissolves all the opposers of true thought and thus smooths all the obstacles of life. This leads to joy, another positive force that has not been bearing fruit because of the obstructions heaped upon it by our failure to fulfill the law of All-Good. Mysteries of Genesis Pg. 130/9.14
Joy, harmony of ideas, bodily sensations
.......within the five avenues of expression, called the senses, there are certain thoughts that can be adjusted one to the other. The mind and body can be filled with such harmony that a song of joy springs forth without volition. This relation is governed by an exact science, and works out the same way every time.
Dynamics for Living, Pg. 170/13.2
Joy, in mind and body, unity consciousness, satisfaction
When men think a great deal about spiritual things and especially about God as an indwelling spiritual presence, both mind and body are thrilled with joy, a feeling of satisfaction. Dynamics for Living, Pg. 158/12.82
Joy, lasting foundation of God of joy, wine of life
It is impossible to found a lasting stronghold within on anything less than understanding that God is a God of joy. It is through our realization of this truth that we drink heartily on the wine of life.
Dynamics for Living, Pg. 107/9.55
Joy, prayer of thanks, well of living water, unity consciousness
If you would feed the soul of the joys of Spirit, you must realize them and give thanks in prayer for the more abundant life. Then you find that a great sub conscious well of living water will begin to bubble up into your soul. You will come to know that hitherto you have been living in the shallows of life instead of in its mighty depths. You will be blessed with a knowledge of the unity of all things, and a great peace and harmony will well up within. Dynamics for Living, Pg. 107/9.54

Love, must be felt in the heart
We may talk about the wisdom of God, but the love of God must be felt in the heart. It cannot be described, and one who has not felt it can have no concept of it from the descriptions of others. If we persist in thinking loving thoughts and speaking loving words, we are sure to bring into our experience the feeling of that great love that is beyond description--the very love of God.
Dynamics for Living, Pg. 240/17.13
Love, concentration on the heart, purification
Then there should be periods of mental concentration on the love center in the cardiac plexus, near the heart. It is not necessary to know the exact location of this aggregation of love cells. Think about love with the attention drawn within the breast, and a quickening will follow; all the ideas that go to make up love will be set into motion. This produces a positive love current, which, when sent forth with power, will break up opposing thoughts of hate, and render them null and void. Christian Healing, Pg. 132/12.8.
Love, magnetic power of
Love is the drawing power of mind. It is the magnet of the universe, and about it may be clustered all the attributes of Being, by one who thinks in divine order. Many who have found the law of true thinking and its effect wonder why supply does not come to them after months and years of holding thoughts of bounty. It is because they have not developed love. They have formed the right image in mind, but the magnet that draws the substance from the store house of Being has not been set into action. Dynamics for Living, Pg. 241/17.16
Love, accomplishes, being real
Do not talk love and in your heart feel resentment. This will bring discord to your body. Love is candor and frankness. Deception is no part of love. Dynamics for Living, Pg. 243/17.22
Love of spiritual self, unity consciousness
Jesus says that if we love Him, we will keep His commandments. Remember what those commandments are? "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself." It is the Lord God within us that we are to be devoted to -- to love, to unify ourselves with, be obedient to. Our own spiritual self must have our attention and love and care and consideration. If we are neglecting our own spiritual development, our own health, we are not keeping this first and greatest commandment. And if we are not keeping it, we cannot keep the second.
Healing Letters, Pg. 155/22.6
Love of self, best for self & others
So before we can truly pray, as Jesus says we should, and in answer to which he says the Father will do what we ask Him, we must learn really to love our own spiritual self and to do that which is best for us -- and incidentally best for all others. Healing Letters, Pg. 155/22.7
Love - woman - preserver
Jesus paid the supreme tribute to woman when on the cross He recognized her and designated her as the mother and preserver of love, to abide in the home of His beloved disciple John. Mysteries Of John,

Married life, laws of conjugality, bliss, divorce
If the laws of conjugality were better understood, the bliss of courtship would continue throughout all the years of married life and divorces would be unknown.

Pleasure, judged as wrong
The old idea of goodness with its puritanical conceptions of right and wrong was associated with a kind of martyrdom. In order to be good one was required to sacrifice everything interesting or amusing; all pleasure was labeled wrong; right and good were associated with duty and dullness. But we have come to realize that goodness is a big word. It includes many attributes and is a synonym for all that implies completion and perfection. Keep a True Lent, Pg. 140/13.23
Pleasure, Spirit sensitizes
It is the experience of all who have dealt with Spirit that it is a vigorous bodily stimulant. It restores the vitality of the body until it is even more sensitive to pleasure or pain than it was before the spiritual quickening. Prosperity, Pg. 19/1.25
Pleasure, lends jest to all action
All things should be done with a purpose, with pleasure as a concomitant only. Pleasure lends zest to all action, but it should never be exalted to the high place in consciousness. Twelve Powers of Man, Pg.57/5.14

Sex, prayer, indescribable joy, holy marriage,
celibacy and asceticism - no place in God's plan
When consciousness is purified through the knowledge of Truth and thought force is established in harmonious relation to divine ideas, the woman (feeling) will be joined with man (wisdom) and the holy marriage (generation of divine ideas) will again be brought to light. Celibacy and asceticism have no place in God's plan for man. "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh," is written in Genesis and verified by Jesus Christ in Matt. 19:5. Indescribable joy is the heritage of those who submit their sex relations to God in prayer. Mysteries of Genesis Pg. 52/3.27

Unity awareness, greatest joy
Faith is the foundation faculty or power of mind through which spiritual man is brought forth. Spiritual consciousness of oneness with God the Father should bring the greatest joy possible to any person. Mysteries of Genesis Pg. 104/7.5
Unity consciousness, highest goal, glory
The realization of divine unity is the highest that we can attain. This is true glory, the blending and merging of the whole being into Divine Mind. "I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one." Mysteries Of John, Pg. 151/17.8
Unity consciousness, majestic expansion of individual consciousness,
Nirvana, Hindu philosophy
This merging of God and man does not mean the total obliteration of man's consciousness but its glorification or expansion into that of the divine. This is taught in Hindu philosophy as the absorption of the soul into Nirvana, which has been erroneously interpreted as the total loss of individual consciousness instead of its majestic expansion. Mysteries Of John, Pg. 151/17.9
Unity consciousness, power in the throat, Jesus' spiritual dominion
Through the vibrations of power in the throat, one can feel the power of unity with the higher self more quickly than in any other way. This reveals that ideas rule the man, Jesus affirmed: "All power is given unto me in heaven {mind} and in earth {body}" (A.V.). When Jesus made this affirmation He undoubtedly realized His innate spiritual dominion, and when He consciously attuned His spiritual identity to mind and body, there was a conscious influx of power, and His hearers said that He "taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes."
Twelve Powers of Man, Pg. 64/6.7
Unity consciousness, power of word, new world of cause
Spirit is like mind--in fact it is the highest realm of mind. There is an ever-present, all-knowing One. Put yourself into conscious unity with this presence through the power of your thought and your word, and you will gradually become mentally open to a world of causes of which you never before dreamed.
Talks on Truth, Pg. 151/13.14.
Unity consciousness, perfection to appear
Thus we see that we are warranted in affirming our unity with God and expecting the attributes of the perfect man to appear. "Judge not according to appearance." Right in the face of adverse appearances enter into God-Mind and see yourself as He sees you, strong, robust, healthy. Teach Us to Pray, Pg. 88/17.5
Unity consciousness, healing power
Men and women with no previous healing power have suddenly become healers of marvelous ability. They do not claim to understand how the healing is done. They know only that through the exercise of faith and their word the spiritual quality in them is fused into unity with the power of Christ and the work is marvelously accomplished. Teach Us to Pray, Pg. 102/21.6
Unity consciousness, healing
It logically occurs to you that all healing methods, whether applied to self or to others, consists in establishing the unity of the individual and the universal consciousness. No man heals himself or another; the supreme Mind does the work. "The Father abiding in me does his works," said Jesus. This is the testimony of all the truly wise. Teach Us to Pray, Pg. 177/36.1.1
Unity, wisdom, world of cause.
Give attention to the omnipresent intelligence and it will make you wise. Put yourself into conscious unity with this presence through the power of your thought and your word, and you will gradually become mentally open to a world of causes of which you never before dreamed. Talks on Truth, Pg. 151/13.14.
