G. The Two Stages of the Counter-Revolution
a. With the radical change of the revolutionary into a counter-revolutionary, the first stage of the Counter-Revolution ends in him.
b. The second stage may take quite a long time. In it, the soul proceeds to adjust all his ideas and ways of feeling to the position taken in the act of conversion.
These two great and quite distinct stages delineating the counter-revolutionary process are presented here as they occur in a soul considered by itself. Mutatis mutandis, they may occur in large groups and even in whole peoples as well.
