What are the various reasons Hegel established his idea of the subject-object nonduality?

From what I've gathered of him he gives these various points to demonstrate subject-object nonduality:
- The subject/object divide is an abstraction arising out of an earlier stage (stage of just Being, Nothing, pure Spirit, no subject/object split)

- Subject/object are two sides of a coin which are a false duality just like hot/cold are a false duality and actually points to a deeper unity. By cognizing objects, the subject is simultaneously revealed. By thinking of the subject, the Object is simultaneously implied.

- We are able to cognize the world and apply reason to it so that implies to a degree that the world is in a sense geared toward our perception and reason; the structure of reality coincides with the constructions of logic.

- The Pure Being as the first principle of the metaphysics of the Logic has its counterpart as the bare nakedness of the subject. The Hindus equate Being and Consciousness in this way, and basically declare that what is called "Consciousness" is just the pure Being of reality, and what is called "Being" is more like Consciousness because all that exists are the potential objects of consciousness.

What are some other examples that he points to to demonstrate subject-object nonduality?
