Whatever form our relaxation takes we ask one of two things from it.If life has been hectic is dull and uneventful we demand to be taken out of ourselves.What many people today want to know and what I was determined to find out is can there be a condition a pool of quiet where the active restless mind can completely switch off, opt out of the conflict, and still remain purposeful, wholesome communicative and creative-says John E. Coleman.In this report he has recorded his search for this condition. He has recalled the circumstances which set him off on the search, traced its progress and described its results.
