[In the corresponding interscope, however, there is no single actuality.
Does this imply that there is no ‘what I see’?]

[The intersection that I focus on now is ‘I see something illuminated in the mirror of the world’.
This is the same as the thought experiment where ‘I choose something’, where the single actuality of the intersection is ‘the heart’.
Here, the single actuality is ‘what I see’.]

[What I see2 depends on the item specular scattering light1V plus my own interests (what I want to look at)1H.
By “depends”, I do not mean “cause and effect”, I mean “emerges from and situates”.
As you have already seen, I substitute the term the mirror of the world3H for the term the thought experiment3H.]

[Here, the potential of the source of the specular scattering1V is has little to do with the potentials inherent in me1H, except to say that the thing may attract my eye2.
Also, the thought experiment3H may easily be replaced with the term “nature and source of illumination3H” or (more evocatively) “mirror of the world3H”.]

[The single actuality of the intersection is the heart.
Compare that to the single actuality of what I see in the thought experiment where I see something.
The next blog will portray this intersection.]

[Schoonenberg’s terminology may be further clarified with a two notes.
First, ‘Obligations3H(2’ is a general term for both responsibilities and words.
‘Responsibilities3H(2’ goes with ‘freedom2(1H))’.
‘Words3H(2’ goes with ‘bondage2(1H))’.
Second, the contrast between ‘responsibilities’ and ‘words’ matches the contrast between ‘freedom’ and ‘bondage’.
The words ‘freedom’ and ‘bondage’ have no corresponding general term.
So, I coin the general term exercises of the heart.]
