Is essential. They exist, in other words, for my present
aim, in that self which is merely given, and which is
not transcended. On the other hand, obviously, these
same particulars are essential and necessary, since (at
the least) somehow they are links in the causal sequence
of my history. Every particular in the same way has some
end beyond the moment. Each can be referred to an ideal
whole whose appearance it is; and nothing whatever is
left to belong merely to the "this-mine." The simplest
observation of what co-exists removes it from that
region, and chance has no positive content, except in
relation to our failure and ignorance.
And any psychology, which is not blind or else
biassed by false doctrine, forces on our notice this
alienation of content. Our whole mental life
moves, by a transcendence of the "this," by sheer
disregard of its claim to possess any property. The
looseness of some feature of the "what" from its fusion
with the "that"--its self-reference to, and its
operation on, something beyond--if you leave out this,
you have lost the mainspring of psychical movement. But
this is the ideality of the given, its non-possession of
that character with which it appears, but which only
appears in it. And Association--who could use it as mere
co-existence within the "this"? But, if anything more,
it is at once the union of the ideal, the synthesis of
the eternal. Thus the "mine" has no detail which is not
the property of connections beyond. The merest
coincidence, when you observe it, is a distinction which
couples universal ideas. And, in brief, the "mine" has
no content except that which is left there by our
impotence. Its character in this respect is, in other
words, merely negative.
Hence to urge such a character against our Absolute
would be unmeaning. It would be to turn our ignorance of
system into a positive objection, to make our failure a
ground for the denial of possibility. We have no basis
on which to doubt that all content comes together
harmoniously in the Absolute. We have no reason to think
that any feature adheres to the "this," and is unable to
transcend it. What is true is that, for us, the
incomplete diversity of various systems, the perplexing
references of each same feature to many ideal wholes,
and again that positive special feeling, which we have
dealt with above--all this detail is not made one in any
way which we can verify. That it all is reconciled we
know, but how, in particular, is hid from us. But
because this result must be, and because there is
nothing against it, we believe that it is.
We have seen that in the "this," on one side, there
is no element but content, and we have found
that no content, on the other side, is the possession of
the "this." There is none that sticks within its
precincts, but all tends to refer itself beyond. What
remains there is chance, if chance is used in the sense
of our sheer ignorance. It is not opposition, but blank
failure in regard to the claim of an idea. And opposition and exclusiveness, in any sense,
must transcend the bare "this." For their essence always
implies relation to a something beyond self; and that
relation makes an end of all attempt at solid
singleness. Thus, if chance is taken as involving an
actual relation to an idea, the "this" already has, so
far, transcended itself. The refusal of something given
to connect itself with an idea is a positive fact. But
that refusal, as a relation, is evidently not included
and contained in the "this." On the other hand, entering
into that relation, the internal content has, so far,
set itself free. It has already transcended the "this"
and become universal. And the exclusiveness of the
"this" everywhere in the same way proves self-
contradictory.
And we had agreed before that the mere "this" in a
sense is positive. It has a felt self-affirmation
peculiar and especial, and into the nature of that
positive being we entered at length. But we found no
reason why such feelings, considered in any feature or
aspect, should persist self-centred and aloof. It seemed
possible, to say the least, that they all might blend
with one another, and be merged in the experience of the
one Reality. And with that possibility, given on all
sides, we arrive at our conclusion. The "this" and
"mine" are now absorbed as elements within our Absolute.
For their resolution must be, and it may be, and so
certainly it is.
