>Attend to thyself; turn thine eye away from all that surrounds thee and into thine own inner self! Such is the first task imposed upon the student by Philosophy. We speak of nothing that is without thee, but merely of thyself.

>the conception of pure and merely intelligible objects is completely void of all principles of its application, because we cannot imagine any mode in which they might be given, and the problematical thought which leaves a place open for them serves only, like a VOID SPACE, to limit the use of empirical principles, without containing at the same time any other object of cognition beyond their sphere.

"The Actual is the Rational and the Rational is the Actual. The Truth is the Whole. The flower does not refute the bud nor the acorn the oak tree."

"A ≠ A"


>In the preface to the first edition of the Logic, for example, Hegel talks of “the logical science which constitutes metaphysics proper, or pure, speculative philosophy” (SL 27/1: 16).2 In §24 of the Lesser Logic he claims that “logic coincides with metaphysics, with the science of things grasped in thoughts” (EL 56/81), and in the introduction to the Logic he maintains that “the objective logic . . . takes the place . . . of former meta- physics which was intended to be the scientific construction of the world in terms of thoughts alone” (SL 63/1: 61).Hegel also emphasizes the metaphysical character of the Logic by asserting that its subject matter is the logos, “the reason of that which is”: “it is least of all the logos which should be left outside the science of logic” (SL 39/1: 30).

The ontological is the logical and the logical the ontological. The bridge of rationality unites man to the Logos through which the Absolute is coming into being, being knowing its self as self through an infinite pattern of fractal recurrence; Parmenides "what is, is," spun through infinite cycles of reification in an ascension towards the Absolute. Jacob's Ladder stretches down from Heaven. Hegel's Ladder, the elucidation of Logos as Spirit, the movements of the Holy Trinity, the miracle of a continuous Pentecost, reaches up towards God. This is no Tower of Babel, but the ascension of indwelling Spirit to its home. As God spoke to Joel, "and I shall pour out my Spirit on all Flesh." And Gnosis shall flow like Amos' everlasting stream.

The world of being is blown into existence by contradiction from the Unground, blasted forward by the power of the principal of explosion. The dialectical spins on.
