The Mystic Will: A Method of Developing and Strengthening the Faculties of the Mind, Through the Awakened Will, by a Simple, Scientific Process Possible to Any Person of Ordinary Intelligence

"Thought is the measure of life." -Charles Godfrey Leland

A practical method for strengthening the will and mastering the hidden powers of the mind.

Charles Godfrey Leland, American poet, journalist, and scholar of folklore and mysticism, presents a practical method for developing the powers of the mind through the disciplined use of the will. This work offers a series of lessons on concentration, suggestion, and mental training intended to strengthen attention, memory, and character.

Combining psychological insight with practical exercises, Leland explores subjects such as self-suggestion, will development, forethought, memory training, and the constructive powers of the mind. His approach presents mental discipline as a skill that can be cultivated through regular practice by anyone of ordinary intelligence.

Written at a time when modern psychology was still emerging, this work reflects the tradition of mental science that influenced later movements in psychology and personal development. It remains a practical and thought-provoking guide for readers interested in willpower, mental training, and the development of inner strength.
