I want to quote two paragraphs from Page 57 of my 2010 book, Notes Towards A New Age, Vol. 1: “Freedom is regulation more than chaos, and it is not total freedom but is more self-regulation and self-empowerment than communal regulation and individual powerlessness. Freedom is self-regulation more than group-regulation. Freedom is lawfulness more than lawlessness.
While the natural order seems largely governed by regularities, these patterns of lawfulness have more in common with possessing a free will rationally selective than the natural state of chaos that has more in common with possessing an non-free will guided by instincts.”
My response: Order conceived of as self-regulation begets freedom through which the sentient person of good will and free will responds to the existent cosmos, and her response with grow and strengthen that cosmos. She will reduce the felt clout of chaos in the world.
