[Moderns only recognize the logic of non-contradiction (the logic of secondness).
Moderns recognied a multitude of oppositions, such as the opposition between responsibility and freedom and the opposition between words and bondage.
But, these are not oppositions. They are co-oppositions.]

[Intersections contain two co-oppositions.
Four co-opposed termini intersect in actuality, forming a key image in Jungian psychology: the mandala.]

[I proposed three intersecting nested forms so far:
- The message underlying the word ‘religion’
- The tension between ‘me recognizing myself as created in the image of God’ and ‘my human nature is to participate in divine nature’
- The thought experiment where ‘I choose something’
The last two derive from two-level intersections.]

[Let me review, again.
I have discussed two types of models, so far.
Both rely on the category-based nested form.
One is the two-level interscope, composed of category-based nested forms on the content and situation levels.
The other is the intersection, composed when two category-based nested forms contribute to one actuality.]

[My choice2V and something about me2H solidify into concupiscence, then into cruelty.
Like a dead person, the eyes are open but they cannot see.
Death is the fixation of law. Death is the illusion of words.
Death becomes the mandala of the heart.]

[Sin enters through the mirror of the world3H. Sin is the lie within the mirror.
Words. Arguments. Excuses.
They increase my bondage and reduce my capacity for responsibilities.]

[Law enters through I, seat of choice3V. It fixates on the something that I may choose1V. My deeds become more and more repetitive. My deeds fall in line with my fixation.]

Sin, law and death resides in one heart.]

[The mandala of responsibilities, thoughts, freedom and deeds exhibits Christian liberty.
Responsibilities and liberty nourishes the heart.]
