        We reach the end of our world history in the light of the eonic effect and the eonic sequence and the result is an X-ray of the deeper structure of evolutionary transformation behind the whole. The emergence of modernity, and the course of revolution and democracy are seen to be connected to our discovery, and extraordinary realization. The resolution of the paradox of evolution and history taken together is thus resolved in the 'idea for a universal history' realized as an evolution of freedom
