Is the universe a gigantic evolving mind? Is it alive? Does God come to self-consciousness through humanity? Are we the vessels of God?
The German philosopher Hegel is one of the greatest and most notoriously obscure philosophers of all time. Was he a secret member of the Illuminati?
Did Hegel seek to replace Christianity with Illumination - the enlightened religion of the Illuminati? Was he guided by Hermetic, Gnostic and esoteric thinking? Was he a modern magician and sage, bringing to the public arena a body of ancient, mystical knowledge?
The master-slave dialectic is one of the most profound aspects of human existence, and it explains much of the political and social structure of the world. What did Hegel say about this astonishing dialectic?
What is the dialectic? Why is it so important to any understanding of the world? Is it the cosmic engine that drives the universe towards its Omega Point, its ultimate conclusion?
No one without an understanding of Hegel's thinking can hope to understand the world. Isn't it time to discover the deep secrets of the cosmos?
A book that starts off interestingly enough by highlighting the fundamentals of hegel’s philosophy, but then morphs into a polemic against elites, capitalism, communism etc with no discernible connection between Hegelian thought and the aforementioned topics. Critiques of Christianity are half baked and heavy emphasis on freedom from institutions that subordinate the individual are followed up with the idea that the state should play a much bigger role in the lives of its citizens to mitigate inequity. The author could have a working coherent theory animated by Hegelian thought, but he certainly doesn’t accomplish it in this book.
While taking a stroll after Merton and lost in my thoughts in solitude, I see a sign- Illuminati. Wide-eyed I take the detour and imagine my joy when I see Hegel also written on the second milestone! Full of enthusiasm and curiosity I enter the cave marked for Hegel. There he was! Donning an ill-fitting magician’s coat, he says, “Hakuna matata!” And oops! God died!
Nietzsche who is in the audience stands up and claps his heart out! Everyone else looked dumbfounded. I also feel suffocated. Then I realise that it’s not Hegel, but someone else who has put on a mask like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible! I try to get out of the den. Luckily the den belongs to Hegel and not Spinoza. There is a way out. I run out and take in the fresh air from outside.
Going back, I make a mental note. All that’s Illuminati are not cool.
This is one of the most fascinating books written by the PI communication cell. It is full of wisdom and deep explanation in a beautiful way of the dialectic of the Universe, humanity, and the individual. Hegel has always been my favorite philosopher and reading this book only sparked me to furthermore read all of his works no matter how hard they are.
This book is essential to anyone who seeks to understand the Modus Operandi of nature and the Universe itself in an eternal dialectically unconscious method towards consciousness and full realization.
