" LOGOS – Overseer: Why do we bother to ask why?6 hours 23 min ago " as of 5:54 p.m., 12/4/2012 in the shoutbox, i post in answer to that question a thing that was plagiarized by one of my favorite authors, so i take this chance to give credit to some of the ideas therein. :
The Master Key System, by Charles Haanel, 1912.
" Let us see what are the most powerful forces in Nature. In the mineral world everything is solid and fixed. In the animal and vegetable kingdom it is in a state of flux, forever changing, always being created and recreated. In the atmosphere we find heat, light and energy. Each realm becomes finer and more spiritual as we pass from the visible to the invisible, from the coarse to the fine, from the low potentiality to high potentiality. When we reach the invisible we find energy in its purest and most volatile state.
And as the most powerful forces of Nature are the invisible forces, so we find that the most powerful forces of man are his invisible forces, his spiritual force, and the only way in which the spiritual force can manifest is through the process of thinking. Thinking is the only activity which the spirit possesses, and thought is the only product of thinking.
Addition and subtraction are therefore spiritual transactions; reasoning is a spiritual process; ideas are spiritual conceptions; questions are spiritual searchlights and logic, argument and philosophy is spiritual machinery.
Every thought brings into action certain physical tissue, parts of the brain, nerve or muscle. This produces an actual physical change in the construction of the tissue. Therefore it is only necessary to have a certain number of thoughts on a given subject in order to bring about a complete change in the physical organization of a man. [… .] "

this piece was used in the book Dialogues With The Master, by Paul Twitchell, Ninth Printing – 1987, pp. 113-117 (UNCONDITIONAL LOVE) for clarification's sake, and the emboldened part is one answer i would give to LOGOS' question at the top.
