Who can set bounds to the possibilities of man? Once inhale the upper air, being admitted to behold the absolute natures of justice and truth, and we learn that man has access to the entire mind of the Creator, is himself the creator in the finite.
I think that this is a cool passage because it perfectly fits the ideals of transcendentalism that Emerson is a proponent of. These lines describe the fundamental belief of transcendentalism, that god is inside everyone, and that everyone has to forge their own place in the world. Its an interesting concept, and definitely appeals to people even in today’s world. Unlike most mainstream religions, the idea that anyone can shape their own destiny is a radical concept that can attract many followers.
