If change really involves self - transcendence even, in certain circumstances, to a new essence, even though only in virtue
of the dynamism
of absolute Being, which
of course does not, let it be repeated, alter the
fact that it is a question
of self - transcendence; if matter and spirit are not simply
disparate in
nature but matter is in a certain way «solidified» spirit, the only significance
of which is to serve to make actual spirit possible, then an evolutionary development
of matter towards spirit is not an inconceivable idea.15 If there exists at all by virtue
of the motion
of absolute Being, a change in the material order whereby this rises above itself, then this self - transcendence can only occur in the direction
of spirit, because the absolute Being is spirit.
