Lectures on the philosophy of religion, together with a work on the proofs of the existence of God http://www.archive.org/stream/lecturesonthephi00hegeuoft#page/n5/mode/2up. Translated from the 2d German ed. by E.B. Speirs, and J. Burdon Sanderson: the translation edited by E.B. Speirs. Published 1895 p. 84-85 <br class="br">Lectures on Philosophy of Religion, Volume 1 (1827) <br class="br">Context: Spirit is knowledge; but in order that knowledge should exist; it is necessary that the content of that which it knows should have attained to this ideal form, and should in this way have been negated. What Spirit is must in that way have become its own, it must have described this circle; then these forms, differences, determinations finite qualities, must have existed in order that it should make them its own. This represents both the way and the goal-that Spirit should have attained to its own notion or conception, to that which it implicitly is, and in this way only, the way which has been indicated in its abstract moments, does it attain it. Revealed religion is manifested religion, because in it God has become wholly manifest. Here all is proportionate to the notion; there is no longer anything secret in God.

Entry in Tolstoy&#x27;s Diary http://www.linguadex.com/tolstoy/chapter1.htm (1 November 1910) <br class="br">Context: God is the infinite ALL. Man is only a finite manifestation of Him.<br>Or better yet:<br>God is that infinite All of which man knows himself to be a finite part.<br>God alone exists truly. Man manifests Him in time, space and matter. The more God&#x27;s manifestation in man (life) unites with the manifestations (lives) of other beings, the more man exists. This union with the lives of other beings is accomplished through love.<br>God is not love, but the more there is of love, the more man manifests God, and the more he truly exists...<br>We acknowledge God only when we are conscious of His manifestation in us. All conclusions and guidelines based on this consciousness should fully satisfy both our desire to know God as such as well as our desire to live a life based on this recognition.
