Description
Excerpt from The Power of Silence: An Interpretation of Life in Its Relation to Health and Happiness
The present volume is the outgrowth of! More than a half-century of inquiry on the part of those to whom the author is chie?y indebted. This inquiry began with the researches of Dr. P. P. Quimby, of Belfast, Me., who devoted more than twenty years to the investigation of mental phenomena in relation to health and happiness. With him the author''s father and mother were associated for several years previous to his death in 1866, and from him they learned many practical truths of the inner life. But Dr. Quimby left no published work, and ''they were long prevented by adverse circumstances from making any public use of his investigations. Yet they never lost Sight of his teaching. It became a life with them, and bore the test of all the experiences in the category of sorrow and suffering. They created a home atmosphere of hope, of quiet strength and healthy inquiry, into which it was a rich heritage to be born.
