understanding the origin of man

"But since in the enjoyment of beauty, or aesthetic unity, an actual union and interchange between matter and form, passivity and activity, momentarily takes place, the compatibility of our two natures, the practicability of the infinite being realized in the finite, hence the possibility of sublimest humanity, is thereby actually proven...

Since, as I have argued in the preceding letters, it is the aesthetic mode of the psyche that first gives rise to freedom, it is obvious that it cannot itslef derive from freedom and cannot, in consequence, be of moral origin. It must be a gife of nature; the favor of fortune alone can unloose the fetters of that first physical stage and lead the savage toward beauty."

NOTE: (it must begin with a deep understanding of man's origin, that is an understanding of God and God in man and nature)
