In seeing Spirit as unfolding toward “freedom” or “liberation” from the “subjection” of nature, Hegel is Gnostic, not unlike his forebears, Plato and the esoteric versions of the Revealed Religions.
In Hegel, Spirit is opposed to (contrary to) nature, because history is the unfolding of Spirit, in stages.
In Evolutionary Christianity, Spirit is nature, or supermateriality and epiphenomenal, and It is not opposed to Itself.
The Spirit or the Will to Godhood does seek the total freedom of Godhood, which it must evolve to in nature.
“Freedom” means essentially the freedom to evolve, ultimately to Godhood. Freedom does not mean that men are without a determining nature.
This is why we affirm localism, ethnostates and light federalism, they allow the most possible freedom to evolve for the most people, and not just one people or one state.
