Heidegger's Being and the Spirit-Will

(The following post from May 12 was lost in Blogger's technical problems of yesterday, although it did go out to some followers.  I am posting it again so it will be included in my categories.)

“The difference between beings and Being is the area within which metaphysics, Western thinking in the totality of its essence, can be what it is.” (Heidegger, “Identitat and Differenz”)

Heidegger's Being seems to be what I define as the Spirit-Will, which is not Being and not Godhood. Heidegger's Being is not the cause of beings, his Being comes to pass by passing into beings (see “Heidegger and Aquinas” by Caputo). Again this to me is the Spirit-Will.

Being, or Godhood, is the cause of beings, which are always activated by the Spirit-Will within them. The Spirit-Will activates the material world which is shaped by outward evolution to evolve to Godhood, and then, with Godhood attained the Spirit-Will is enclosed within the next Kosmos.

Being as Godhood is as concrete in the world and not abstract as beings in the world, however, Godhood is the highest evolved concrete object, the zenith of concrete evolution. There is no difference between Being and beings that cannot be explained by the level of evolution of the beings.

Godhood is Eternally Represented in the kosmos through “offspring” beings in the kosmos, but Godhood Itself has “finitude” in the sense that Godhood transmutes into offspring in the next kosmos. It is the kosmos of objects related to Godhood that are eternally represented---as we all instinctively seek to be activated by the Spirit-Will to eternal representation.
