Since the Spirit is Life-in-itself, its feeling can only be for the fuller expression of Life any other sort of feeling would be self-destructive and is therefore inconceivable.
The reason is that he allows a greater intelligence than his own to take the initiative; and since he knows that this Intelligence is also the very Principle of Life itself, he cannot have any fear that it will act in any way to the diminution of his individual life, for that would be to stultify its own operation it would be self-destructive action which is a contradiction in terms to the conception of Creative Spirit.
Because they were idle; because, having nothing worthy to engage them, they dwelt, with unnatural curiosity, on the ill they dared not go to see." This seems like an exaggeration. The mind, like a mill, must have some thought in the hopper of reflection, or the machinery will prove to be self-destructive. Shun flattery.
Results so outrageous might be left as self-disproved, were it not that speculators of this class are not alarmed by any amount of incongruity with established beliefs. The only efficient mode of treating systems like this of Hegel, is to show that they are self-destructive that by their first steps they ignore that authority on which all their subsequent steps depend.
During the year which followed Opimius's acquittal there appeared before them a suppliant for their favour who had about equal claims to the gratitude and the hatred of both sections of the people. They were the self-destructive or corroborative claims of the statesman who is called a convert by his friends and a renegade by his foes.
Of necessity, civilizations are self-destructive, built as they are on the ebb and flow of power struggle.
Is it not both unwise and self-destructive; and in every way calculated to render your case, present and prospective, still more hopeless? FIND SOMETHING TO DO. Idle hands are Satan's workshop.
Brennan also envisioned a self-destructive device that would addle the heart of the machine at the touch of a button, perhaps booby-traps fitted like burglar alarms that would ruin the machine at the first touch of an untrained hand. Brennan's mind began to work. He must plan his moves carefully to acquire the machine by stealth.
You may be able seemingly to accomplish results for a time even if your cause is unjust, but the results will be temporary, and, in time, you will have to tear down your thought edifice and build on the true foundation of Right. Plans that are not built on truth produce discordant vibrations and are therefore self-destructive. Never try to build until you can build right.
It is this illusion that we have tried to remove by showing that the idea of Nothing, if we try to see in it that of an annihilation of all things, is self-destructive and reduced to a mere word; and that if, on the contrary, it is truly an idea, then we find in it as much matter as in the idea of All.
