→Habits of the Vital
The vital mind in the ordinary nature cannot get on without these imaginations [pleasurable imaginations] —so the habit remains for a long time. To be detached and indifferent is the best, then after a time it may get disgusted and drop the habit. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-vital-being-and-vital-consciousness#p23</ref>

…there is...the whole weight of millennia of bad habits, which we could call pessimistic, that is, anticipating decay, anticipating catastrophe...that's the most difficult thing to purify, to clarify, to remove from the atmosphere. It's so INGRAINED that it's absolutely spontaneous. That is the great, great, great obstacle—that sort of sense of inevitable decay. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/08/june-24-1967#p37</ref>
