own self…consciousness; its vanished existence is; however; conserved therein; and this
superseded existence — the previous state; but born anew from the womb of knowledge — is the
new stage of existence; a new world; and a new embodiment or mode of Spirit。 Here it has to
begin all over again at its immediacy;(12) as freshly as before; and thence rise once more to the
measure of its stature; as if ; for it; all that preceded were lost; and as if it had learned nothing from
the experience of the spirits that preceded。 But re…collection (Er… innerung) has conserved that
experience。 and is the inner being; and; in fact; the higher form of the substance。 While; then; this
phase of Spirit begins all over again its formative development; apparently starting solely from
itself; yet at the same time it commences at a higher level。 The realm of spirits developed in this
way; and assuming definite shape in existence; constitutes a succession; where one detaches and
sets loose the other; and each takes over from its predecessor the empire of the spiritual world。
The goal of the process is the revelation of the depth of spiritual life; and this is the Absolute
Notion。 This revelation consequently means superseding its 〃depth〃; is its 〃extension〃 or spatial
embodiment; the negation of this inwardly self…centred (insichseiend) ego — a negativity which is
its self…relinquishment; its externalization; or its substance: and this revelation is also its temporal
embodiment; in that this externalization in its very nature relinquishes (externalizes) itself; and so
exists at once in its spatial extension〃 as well as in its 〃depth〃 or the self。 The goal; which is
Absolute Knowledge or Spirit knowing itself as Spirit; finds its pathway in the recollection of
spiritual forms (Geister) as they are in themselves and as they accomplish the organization of their
spiritual kingdom。 Their conservation; looked at from the side of their free existence appearing in
the form of contingency; is History; looked at from the side of their intellectually comprehended
organization; it is the Science of the ways in which knowledge appears。(13) Both together; or
History (intellectually) comprehended (begriffen); form at once the recollection and the Golgotha
of Absolute Spirit; the reality; the truth; the certainty of its throne; without which it were lifeless;
solitary; and alone。 Only
The chalice of this realm of spirits
Foams forth to God His own Infinitude(14)
