Excerpt from Your Forces, and How to Use Them, Vol. 3
That cry for " rest for the soul," or " rest of the spirit," which goes up unheard front thousands today and which involves at times a weariness and even disgust for life, comes entirely of weariness of mind,and consequent weariness of body, through mental habits and states of mind unconsciously form, leading, to exhaustion and depletion of life's forces; and such exhaustion and depletion are the causes of disease inability to enjoy life or attain success in life. Mental or spiritual force here means that literal, unseen element, your thought, which, as you send from, you and concentrate and direct on persons far or near, can "push things" and accomplish results, though the persons acted on be a thousand or ten thousand miles distant from your body. This force you can constantly increase, by means which to some may seem very trivial.
You do not need to be thinking all the time during your waking hours. Such habit of mind soon exhausts, and keeps you putting out the same set of thoughts, a train of idea over and over again.
One of the greatest sources of power and health, both of mind and body, is the ability to dismiss all positive thought at will, to sit perfectly quiet physically, to pass, if but for a few seconds, into a dreamy state or reverie; to see only the landscape that may be before the physical eye, or even but a very small part of that, or to allow the mind to dwell and live in such mental pictures as may come to it.
