Today we are considering the will you share with God. This is not the same as the ego’s idle wishes, out of which darkness and nothingness arise. The will you share with God has all the power of creation in it. The ego’s idle wishes are unshared, and therefore have no power at all. Its wishes are not idle in the sense that they can make a world of illusions in which your belief can be very strong. But they are idle indeed in terms of creation. They make nothing that is real.
Idle wishes and grievances are partners or co-makers in picturing the world you see. The wishes of the ego gave rise to it, and the ego’s need for grievances, which are necessary to maintain it, peoples it with figures that seem to attack you and call for “righteous” judgment. These figures become the middlemen the ego employs to traffic in grievances. They stand between your awareness and your brothers’ reality. Beholding them, you do not know your brothers or your Self.

While he is never able to articulate it fully, Kierkegaard is in vehement opposition to Hegel because he intuits that Hegel’s authenticity of self consciousness (existentialism) inevitably dissipates to dualistic anarchy, as a false alternative to the reality of the singular anarchy that is Man and God (transcendent existentialism).
Giordano Bruno has no such problem with the Aristotelian peripatetics.
