“What happens in the case of a constructive psychic energy when it [the inner self] is purposely denied aggressive outlets? It finds out... How strong and potent is the energy that is at its command?… It is quite necessary that all these questions be answered, for the inner self is composed of energy, and in other fields of activity thoughts and emotions are instantaneously translated, their results instantly seen. There is no saving time lag.”
