[I, seat of choice3V practices reason.
The mirror of the word3H asks for an ‘act of faith2H’.
The mirror of the world3H always says: “Believe that I am your normal context.”]
[Reason itself does not require grace. Or does it?
Since I, seat of choice3V, contextualizes the heart2, and since the heart is contextualized by the mirror of the world3H, then reason may (inadvertently) open the person to the influence of grace through the horizontal normal context.
Reason may change the heart2 just enough that the person’s intuition1H may feel grace-filled inspiration.]

[Where does reason come in?
Reason may alter I, seat of choice3V, in relation to the possibilities underlying my choice1V.]

[The co-opposition of thoughts3V(2 and deeds2(1V) is not isolated from responsibility3H(2 and freeedom2(1H).
Grace enters through ‘the mirror of the world3H’ or through ‘the intuitions of my blood and bones1H’. It produces new contradictions that alter the entire intersection.]
[This resonates with ‘I, seat of sight3V’ discerning new ‘possibilities inherent in the something that scatters light1V’.
The horizontal relation alters the single actuality shared with the vertical relation.]

[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’.
‘I, seat of choice3V’, encounters new ‘possibilities inherent in something that I may choose1V’.]

[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.]
[By changing the illumination of ‘the mirror of the world3H’, grace changes the potential in me1H.
Grace illuminates and draws something out of me1H that never seemed possible before.]
[Is grace to be found in the mirror of the world3H?
Grace increases the capacity of responsibility3H(2H and, through the co-opposition, the opportunities for freedom2H(1H).
Grace decreases the incapacities generated by words3H(2H and, through the co-opposition, the burdens of bondage2H(1H).]
