 G.W.F. Hegel says, "The two extremes of the Understanding gazing into the inner world of essence, and this inner realm itself, are now merged together. The curtain of appearance is drawn aside, and the Ego, qua expression of the Absolute Idea, will come to see only itself beyond. . . ." - Phenomenology of Spirit, Page 518
