Neither
a person nor a nation can exist without some higher idea. And there is
only one higher idea on earth, and it is the idea of the immortality of
the human soul, for all other "higher" ideas of life by which humans
might live derive from that idea alone.
Immortality gives birth to joy. Joy gives birth to honesty. Honesty to creativity. Creativity gave birth to conditions and forms. Reason is the drawing on the plane of forms.
Human is a fall from immortality to the world of forms that creates desire for joy in the prison of reason. One must somehow find back out of reason first to honesty and joy before one feels free to give in to one's honest desire for creativity.
