[The single actuality composing the intersection of human action and human thought, for the message underlying religion, is what is good and what is bad.

The single actuality composing the intersection of recognition and participation is the state of grace or the state of self-destruction.

My heart is the single actuality corresponding to the entanglement of ‘my choice (revealing my values)_2V’ and ‘something (revealing my desire)_2H’.]

[I, seat of choice_3V, parallels think^group_3V and think^divine_3V.

My choice_2V and something (revealing desire)_2H parallels sinful and virtuous acts_2.

Something_1V parallels conscience^specified_1V.

Thought experiment_3H parallels law^essential_3H.

Me_1H parallels dispositions_1H.]

[The thought experiment where ‘I choose something’ is visualized as an intersection in a previous blog.

I can draw parallels to the intersection that comprises the message underlying the word ‘religion’.]

[Now, allow me to consider the intersection.

Is the intersection more convenient for exploring Schoonenberg’s comments on freedom?

I think so.

If these two nested forms intersected, two permutations are possible.

This is the one I select:

The content level becomes the horizontal (not vertical) axis.

The situation becomes the vertical axis.]

[Look at the interscoping nested form.

Where does the collective enter into the picture?

It does through the thought experiment_3a.]

[Consider the idea of stealing apples.

How about voting for a sovereign who promises take apples from others and giving them to me?

What if I vote to take wealth from others but not myself.

How is that different from theft?

Here is a choice (a vote, expressing a value) that virtually situates something (a promise, expressing a desire to get something for nothing).]
