It is even almost too much for its founders to handle. Freedom is opportunity for greater expansion, greater unfoldment, greater development. Unless a man is capable of creating order within the limits of his own immediate sphere of activity he cannot possibly expect to step beyond those limits and create anything worthwhile. Creation is the ability to exhaust the possibilities of the immediate situation and thereby necessarily extend that which is complete into the realm of the not yet complete. Freedom is not free.
Democracy is an embryo.
Creation still awaits. Few men have ever known themselves deeply enough to be able to exert any kind of conscious control over their own lives. We sleepwalk in short jerky steps. The years pass and we come to know certain rules for safer sleepwalking. At the end of our few years on this practical planet we may even feel confident enough to write a book about how it's done.
