The full capacity of mind is farsighted, broadminded and spacious. This mind is locked into a world of limitation. To break out of the limitation and return to the limitlessness is not easy.
But there are many positive examples. Food production used to be limited. Now food is unlimited. The distribution of food is not yet unlimited.
Material things and gadgets used to be limited in number, if they even existed. Now cell phones, computers, cars and television sets are almost without limit.
Gender roles used to be very limiting, in particular for women. Many limits are weakened in the west, and in the east many women find a new economical freedom thanks to micro credits.
Not long ago a person was limited for life to the home village, now migration to the cities and the creation of new jobs have lifted these limitations.
Energy in the form of oil is a limited resource. New forms of energy are exploited.
Money used to be limited resource. Not it is unlimited, and more people than before are prosperous.
On mind level many limitations remain, in particular when we think about others. But at the same time we know that individual freedom is the most positive power, and that everything new feels strange as long as it is new.
