Liberty in Expression and Realization
The Flowers Of Guidance Volume One Nine Instructive Steps to Gaining Knowledge Step 1: Encountering Science
Ever since liberty in expression and comprehension initiated, the doors to knowledge had unlatched before Europe (an era called the Renaissance). Renaissance, in French, means rebirth. This phrase intends that humanity was reborn, much like a toddler that gradually obtains knowledge through their senses and inquisitive nature. Not only did the parents (society) let the child roam free in this quest, but it also assisted the child through growth. In this era, humanity was reborn, and with this given freedom, it was enabled to think, speak, listen, write, read, exchange thoughts, transcend opinions, examine, experiment, meditate, and contemplate for themselves.
