Theological Science and Self-Knowledge, V
Paragraph 11 and the opening of paragraph 12 in the Preface of the Phenomenolog
y of Spirit by Friedrich Hegel are interesting. He believes that the life of man and the life of the universe are never completed. He says,
"11. Besides, it is not difficult to see that ours [means our many lives] is a birth-time and a period of transition to a new era. Spirit has broken with the world it has hitherto inhabited and imagined, and is of a mind to submerge it in the past, and in the labor of its own transformation. Spirit is indeed never at rest but always engaged in moving forward. But just as the first breath drawn by a child after its long, quiet nourishment breaks the gradualness of merely quantitative growth --- there is a qualitative leap and the child is born — so likewise the Spirit in its formation matures slowly and quietly into its new shape, dissolving bit by bit the structure of its previous world, whose tottering state is only hinted at by isolated symptoms. The frivolity and boredom which unsettle the established order, the vague foreboding of something, there are the heralds of approaching change. The gradual crumbling that left unaltered the fact of the whole is cut short by the sunburst which in one flash, illuminates the features of the new world.
12. But this new world is no more a complete actuality than a new-born child; ...."
The words above by Hegel on Spirits are in agreement with the Monadology of Gottfried Leibniz, the spiritual atoms in my book, and my reincarnation theory.
If all humans are eternal self-knowing Spirits, today’s organizations and governments must be reformed drastically. For instance, all nations must become very similar because the works of a Spirit in the stage of a good nation makes no sense if that person is returned to the stage of a bad nation.
