Allen uses a sharp contrast between mental unrest and peace to argue that repeated inner conditions shape how freedom or bondage is experienced within his conduct-of-life philosophy.
Where does it come from?
Out from the Heart, “Mental Conditions and Their Effects,” represented New York R. F. Fenno & Company edition, Project Gutenberg #74178. The sentence introduces Allen’s table of harmful and beneficial mental conditions; its moral-philosophical categories are preserved as historical argument rather than modern psychological diagnosis.
