' And how should I have cried, since I wasswooning with happiness within?"[173] [173] Claparede et Goty: Deux Heroines de la Foi, Paris, 1880, p. 112. The transition from tenseness, self-responsibility, and worry, toequanimity, receptivity, and peace, is the most wonderful of all thoseshiftings of inner equilibrium, those changes of the personal centre ofenergy, which I have analyzed so often; and the chief wonder of it isthat it so often comes about, not by doing, but by simply relaxing andthr...owing the burden down. This abandonment of self-responsibilityseems to be the fundamental act in specifically religious, asdistinguished from moral practice. It antedates theologies and isindependent of philosophies. Mind-cure, theosophy, stoicism, ordinaryneurological hygiene, insist on it as emphatically as Christianitydoes, and it is capable of entering into closest marriage with everyspeculative creed. [174] Christians who have it strongly live in whatis called "recollection, " and are never anxious about the future, norworry over the outcome of the day.
