       > Hegel was a proponent of the "dialectic." The dialectical
       process works like this:
       >
       >
       > Step 1) We discover a "thing" in need of explanation and we
       make some statement about it e.g. "Something exists." We call
       this the thesis.
       >
       > Step 2) Further discovery and consideration reveals a
       contradiction, something that opposes the thesis. We call this
       the antithesis. The antithesis of "Something exists" is "Nothing
       exists".
       >
       > Step 3) The third step is called the synthesis, and it
       attempts to reconcile the thesis and antithesis. Hegel uses the
       word "aufheben" to describe this melding of thesis and
       antithesis. It's a difficult word to translate into English
       since it simultaneously contains meanings of "preserving",
       "cancelling" and "lifting up". So, the synthesis retains what is
       most true in the thesis and antithesis, removes what is most
       false, and raises up what is left into a higher truth.
       >
       > Step 4) The process does not end with this synthesis, which
       simply becomes a new thesis, and with which we start the process
       all over again. With each iteration of this dialectical cycle,
       we move forward, reduce contradiction, refine our concepts and
       get closer to what might be called absolute truth i.e. the truth
       that contains no self-contradiction and cannot be challenged. To
       an extent, the dialectic resembles the scientific method upon
       which so much of the world's most solid knowledge now stands.
       The scientific method creates provisional truths, which are
       rendered stronger and stronger by continual testing and
       refinement. Eventually, scientific hypotheses become scientific
       theories - which are effectively the laws of science.
       >
       > A clear connection also exists between the dialectic and the
       medieval art of Alchemy - the secret art first introduced by the
       Illuminati. Alchemy is about turning lead into gold. Not in a
       physical sense (though some alchemists certainly thought it was
       possible), but in a metaphorical sense. To reach gold (perfect
       purity in symbolic terms) from the starting point of lead (base,
       impure, corruptible material symbolically) requires constant
       distillation, refining, removal of the impurities. This is the
       same as the dialectic - a continual refining to remove errors.
       As we reach higher and higher levels of synthesis, we ascend the
       scale of truth - we move from dirty, muddied, confused and
       confusing partial truths to incorruptible golden truths by which
       we can lead our lives. Truth, too, must be distilled and
       refined.

       > Hegel analysed Being and Nothing in the following way:
       >
       > 1)    Being - the existence of things - is the thesis.
       > 2)    Non-being - the existence of nothing - is the
       antithesis.
       >
       > Using the ancient wisdom of the Illuminati, Hegel supplied the
       only concept that can stand as a valid synthesis of Being and
       Nothing - "Becoming."

       Dear Reflow:
       Thank you, but no post of other folks quotes are allowed,
       regardless of how good. This is about you and that is all that
       matters. On a 'Rant' there is a little more room, but I am
       strict about this because anything that is not about you is a
       diversion, plain and simple. Maya and ego will do anything to
       take you off-task.
       If you would like share what's happening in your world, please
       do.
       Love ya, Jed.

       In my world nothing really happens but I like the entertainment
       from the illusion that something is happening.
