Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 2.3 JM
[The mirror of the world3a reflects a symbolic order3a.
Responsibilities and words express the character of ‘a system of…3a’.
Correspondingly, the potentials within me1a are already refined, cut into interpellations, finite in number, because they well up in response to the normal context configured as ‘a system of…3a’.
Freedom and bondage express the character of ‘… differences1a’.
Both obligations and exercises of the heart share an actuality2a that corresponds to an utterance, emerging from and situating the potentials inherent in me.]

[What is to be found in the thought experiment3a?
The thought experiment3a is the content-level normal context.
Like the system…3a in parole, the thought experiment3a seems to be referential.
We project referentiality into the thought experiment.
But, it also exists as a symbolic order.
The system…3a sets the normal context for the potentiation of …differences1a.
Parole2a exists as a system of differences3a-1a.]

[Have I arrived at another way to speculate about responsibility (in virtue) and words (in sin)? ]

[The previous blog leads me to what Schoonenberg wrote next:]
The free choice, for good or evil, always implies some obligation. We exercise our freedom in serving God or Satan.
[What does that mean for the mandala of the heart?]

[In the next few blogs, I construct a thread in the style of Carl Jung.
It will lead me back to Schoonenberg’s discussion on our inclination to evil as a sequel to sin.]

[Where does I, seat of choice3b take me?
I, the seat of choice3b or perhaps, my heart2 determines the meaning of something1b. I3b guarantee that meaning1b
Plus, a message about something3b comes from me (my seat and my heart) when my choice has been made2b.]

[In section 2.3, Schoonenberg discusses freedom.
My model for freedom is the thought experiment where ‘I choose something’.
So, I ask the question:
When I, the seat of choice chooses, do I choose a value?
If so, how does value link to the word ‘freedom’?]
