Excerpt from The Open DoorWe are thus learning to think of the world, not in terms of statics, but in terms of dynam ics. Everywhere we are touching not dead, inert mass, but living, moving force. Every where we are dealing with something pliable and plastic, with frontiers that shift and that can be shifted. The world we inhabit is not a rigid thing with changeless boundaries and fixed limits. The mind of man does encounter limits in every region where it pushes, but the limits are not always the same. Indeed they are not limits to the world, but limits to the mind of man. Ever there appears an open door leading out, so that a portion of the unknown gets swept into the confines of the known.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
