" The form becomes the Self that knows itself and becomes me while I become it. There is an appearance (that is, an external manifestation) of a knowledge which is absolutely knowledge. Every phase of this absolute knowledge passes from one into the other (its beginning into its end, its end into its beginning),and what passes into me is like my passing into it. At this decisive moment where the knowledge making its appearance comprehends itself (begretft) 'as it is in and for itself' we have arrived at the absolute.
