[The vertical axis is not unaffected.
The vertical axis intersects with the horizontal in the single actuality containing ‘my choice2V and something2H’.
The single actuality of ‘my heart2’ parallels ‘what I see2’.

[Or maybe, grace can directly influence the potential inherent in me.
The original Old Testament notion of the ‘flesh’ as opposed to the ‘blood and bones’ reminds me of this. The flesh may yearn for what is reflected in the mirror of the world. That yearning yields bondage.
But the blood and bones yearn for God. Their yearning is for freedom. They yearn for the warmth of the divine light. They yearn to stand before the Lord.]

Who cares if people appear different when they all think the same?
Well, the person who does not think the same cares.
The person who does not think the same faces increased risk.
Thinkmulticulturalism is thinkconformity.]
[This example points to a strange aspect of the realm of possibility.
The monadic realm includes the possibility of no other possibilities.
This option suggests a mode of operation of sovereign power.
Sovereign power, in the attempt to contextualize itself, reduces other possibilities.]
[Multiculturalism3 is exclusive.
The multiculture2 is full of ‘diversity’.
There is only one cultivation1: the religion of big government (il)liberalism.]
[By the way, this puts the lie to the postreligious (enlightenment) religious obsession labeled ‘multiculturalism’.]
