 #### Marxists.org: Absolute Idea
 "The absolute idea is both the apex and foundation of the philosophical system of Hegel. It includes all the stages of logic leading up to it, it is the process of development with all of its stages and transitions. The absolute idea, or "world spirit", plays the same kind of role for Hegel as a Deity. "History is the idea clothing itself with the form of events."
 
-"And Marx rejects the needs for any such concepts as history is a product of people, not the other way around. Like absolute truth, knowledge of the absolute idea is an attainable ideal. Representing the whole of nature which has developed to the point where it is conscious of itself. For the concept of nature to be developed to such a degree of concreteness that it has returned to itself, recollected itself if you will. An absolutely comprehensive, practical and concrete concept of the world. Hegel defines the absolute idea as the "unity of the theoretical idea and the practical idea". The theoretical idea is the completed notion or concrete concept of the world or action. The practical idea is the activity expressing this concept, practice. The unity of the two means fully conscious practice; people acting in true accord with own nature."

 For whatever rejecting of Hegel's mysticism that Marx did, you can see that his instruction to wed theory to praxis, we just ran into conscious practice - praxis. His Instruction to wed theory to practice, which is maintained today in both Marxism and Neo-Marxism (as well as it appearing in woke literature and activism, especially in critical pedagogy in education and Critical Theory) - these all demand that this element of social activism is present to qualify as a Critical Theory. And all of this is readily derived from Hegel's idea of the theoretical idea and the practical idea.

 No longer have an eternal God that is, but ideas as God, State as Son and Geist/culture as spirit. Rather than just being 3 in 1, we now have a spiraling process where one gives rise to an improved version of the previous. Spirling through history where a new improved state follows from the new improved ideas, usually through the activity of a "Man of Action" that is being used by history. Spiraling through history of ideas -> state -> spirit. Improving as they go along the trajectory of history. That's Hegelian metaphysics.

-Not transcendent and eternal, but imminent and a process. It isn't - It's becoming. It isn't perfect - It's perfectable and perfecting through the process of history (heading towards the emergence or recollection ) of that philosophy perennis by speculation - msytically trying to recollect the prisca theologia. This is an alchemical approach to Trinity.

-Philosophy is how this is going to be for Hegel (Reason/VErnunft), because that's how the geist informs the philosophers to improve the ideas, and the process through which Hegel recommends to do this is the Dialectic. Which is through seeking those contradictions but while keeping the essential core (Aufheben). THe reason for this is the alchemy that he based his thought on. It's also because he was a gnostic and he believed his ideas of reason were higher and understood things better. So, for Hegel, the God-Head isn't a thing that is in the world or is transcendent to the world, it's a process that spirals through and creates history as it goes.

 Ideas give rise to a State, father begets son, this creates conditions for a spirit which then flows back into the father that was more self-aware than it was before. This unfolding of history and refinement of ideas are one and the same.
