Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 2.3 SV

[In the intersection, words3H(2, thoughts3V(2, deeds2(1V)) and bondage2(1H)), all share one actuality: the heart2.

So I can imagine that …

law corrupts the normal context of I, seat of choice3V.

sin corrupts the normal context of ‘the mirror of the world3H.

death begins when both sin and law corrupt the heart2, the single actuality that is my choice2V and something that situates my potential2H.

Sin and law are vectors.

Death is the symptom.]

Summary of text [comment] pages 83 and 84

[What about death?

Death could pervade the interscoping form as a repetition disorder. Sins as words (content level) and laws as thoughts (situation level) seems to describe exactly that.

Repetition disorders were accounted for, in Freudian psychoanalysis, as a death wish. In contrast, Jung saw them as actions standing in the way of one’s demise.

Note how Freud and Jung contradict. Contradictions imply the intersection.]

[Let me break this down further.

The mirror of the world3a(something2a()) corresponds to either responsibility3a(2a or words3a(2a depending on how something2a situates the potential inherent in me1a.

Something2a situates the potential inherent in me1a as either freedom2a(1a)) or bondage2a(1a)).

So, Schoonenberg’s term “under” could correspond to the mirror of the world3a, or the thought experiment3a, that brings something2a into relation with the potential in me1a.]
