ruins of some ancient sovereignty directly leads us to contemplate this thought of change in its
negative aspect。 What traveller among the ruins of Carthage; of Palmyra; Persepolis; or Rome; has
not been stimulated by reflections on the transience of kingdoms and men; and to sadness at the
thought of a vigorous and rich life now departed — a sadness which does not expend itself on
personal losses and the uncertainty of ones own undertakings; but is a disinterested sorrow at the
decay of a splendid and highly cultured national life! But the next consideration which allies itself
with that of change; is; that chance while it imports dissolution; involves at the same time the rise of
a new life — that while death is the issue of life; life is also the issue of death。 This is a grand
conception; one which the Oriental thinkers attained and which is perhaps the highest in their
metaphysics。 In the Idea of Metempsychosis we find it evolved in its relation to individual
existence; but a myth more generally known; is that of the Phoenix as a type of the Life of
Nature; eternally preparing for itself its funeral pile; and consuming itself upon it; but so that from
its ashes is produced the new; renovated; fresh life。 But this image is only Asiatic; oriental not
occidental。 Spirit — consuming the envelope of its existence — does not merely pass into another
envelope; nor rise rejuvenescent from the ashes of its previous form; it es forth exalted;
glorified; a purer spirit。 It certainly makes war upon itself — consumes its own existence; but in this
very destruction it works up with existence into a new form; and each successive phase bees
in its turn a material; working on which it exalts itself to a new grade。
§ 84
If we consider Spirit in this aspect — regarding its changes not merely as rejuvenescent transitions;
i。e。; returns to the same form; but rather as manipulations of itself; by which it multiplies the
material for future endeavours — we see it exerting itself in a variety of modes and directions;
developing its powers and gratifying its desires in a variety which is inexhaustible; because every
one of its creations; in which it has already found gratification; meets it anew as material; and is a
new stimulus to plastic activity。 The abstract conception of mere change gives place to the thought
of Spirit manifesting; developing; and perfecting its powers in every direction which its manifold
nature can follow。 What powers it inherently possesses we learn from the variety of products and
formations which it originates。 In this pleasurable activity; it has to do only with itself。 As involved
with the conditions of mere nature — internal and external — it will indeed meet in these not only
opposition and hindrance; but will often see its endeavours t
