1.  Reflection is therefore the MOVEMENT which, since it is the turning back, only in this turning is that which starts out or returns. . . . The turning back of essence is therefore, its SELF-REPULSION.

. . .

2. Therefore, what reflection does to the immediate is the determinations that derive from it, is not anything external to it but is rather its true being.

3. Existence is only positedness; this is the principle of the essence of existence.  . . . as posited, existence is what it is in self.
