Synopsis

Excerpt from Man Limitless

History has shown, that in every step man has taken upward to a higher plane of mental activity and ideality, he has taken each one by the overcoming of certain environments and by the freeing himself from some early beliefs which a broadening intelligence discovered to be fallacious. In advancing he has, however, always carried with him certain dogmas of error in spite of the fact that others which had formerly fettered him were thrown aside. Having made the intellectual advance, more light gradually came; and, with the mental horizon widened by years of thoughtful observation, another and another step has been taken. At each advance some errors have been dropped, while some were still retained and carried forward. As I follow the ascent of man toward complete mental freedom, I can see most clearly that he has forged his own fetters, and that he alone is responsible for his slow growth.

The dawning of the new century is marked as a thought-period in history.

Présentation de l'éditeur

History has shown, that in every step man has taken upward to a higher plane of mental activity and ideality, he has taken each one by the overcoming of certain environments and by the freeing himself from some early beliefs which a broadening intelligence discovered to be fallacious. In advancing he has, however, always carried with him certain dogmas of error in spite of the fact that others which had formerly fettered him were thrown aside. Having made the intellectual advance, more light gradually came; and, with the mental horizon widened by years of thoughtful observation, another and another step has been taken. At each advance some errors have been dropped, while some were still retained and carried forward. As I follow the ascent of man toward complete mental freedom, I can see most clearly that he has forged his own fetters, and that he alone is responsible for his slow growth. The dawning of the new century is marked as a thought-period in history.
