[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.]

[How does free choice describe the heart?
Is the answer obvious?
There are two mandalas of the heart.
Each person freely chooses one heart or the other.
Each person expresses one mandala or the other.]

[The term “free choice” matches the single actuality that is the heart.
The term “Christian liberty” goes with responsibility and freedom in the mandala of the heart.]
