[Progressive values1b are supposed to underlie our choices2b.
There should be no contradictions, when values1b align with desire1a.
Our choices2b touch base with Schoonenberg’s use of the word “service3b”.
Some value1b must be worth serving3b.]
Schoonenberg wrote that we exercise freedom in serving either God or Satan.
[According to the interscope:
An organizational imperative2a emerges from and situates the potential inherent in me in the context of the mirror of the world1a.
Progressives speak to our desires1a.
Progressives tell us what values must be chosen1b.
Progressive values1b are supposed to inform the subject’s desires1a.]
[Progressive institutions insist on a litany of obligations, expressing what the citizen ought to be. Their demands backed by the sword of the sovereign.
Progressive institutions compete with the family, tribe and religion. They want to be responsible for you (not to you).
They work through words: legal codes, deceptive labels, surveillance, indoctrination, mandatory education, rewriting history, agenda setting, ridicule and ostracism.]

Schoonenberg wrote that we exercise freedom in serving either God or Satan.
[The claim, “I am not responsible.”, touches base with the modern definition of the word “freedom” as lack of obligations, especially impositions by family, tribe and religious cultural institutions.
The irony is that this assertion, rather than achieving a lack of obligations, merely transfers one’s obligations to institutions that declare themselves to be responsible.
How clever the Progressives can be.]
[… that obligations3H(2 for the intersecting nested forms, corresponds to:
Mirror of the world3H(my heart2
In the intersection, my heart2 is the single actuality of my choice2V and ‘something’ contextualized by the mirror of the world2H.
Words3H(2H, excuses3H(2H and resentments3H(2H correspond to the latter actuality.
They still cry out, “I am not responsible.”
But how irresponsible is that?
In my heart, I know that the values that I have been choosing1V no longer represent the desires inherent in me1H.
In our heart, I know the truth that I cannot accept:
My resentments are co-opposed to bondage.]
[The person believes that this cry, this something2a, is valid.
The person simply presumes that their mirror of the world3a reflects their values1b.
Sensible construction allows this.
Sensible construction cannot question the social construction that it presumes.
Sensible construction must give way to an intersection.
Otherwise, one cannot step back, detach and see …]
[Does this sound vaguely familiar?
Consider the interscope.
Obligations3a(2a (responsibilities3a(2a or words3a(2a) correspond to:
Mirror of the world3a(something2a
Words3a(2a, excuses3a(2a and resentments3a(2a all cry out, ‘I am not responsible.’
This cry is co-opposed to bondage. Yet the person does not know it.]
[How is the mirror of the world3H to blame?
It is filled with blame.
Blame within the mirror of the world3H offers an alternate to responsibility and freedom.
Blame within the mirror of the world3H offers words and bondage.
There is an element of truth to the blame game.
This may be why Schoonenberg hopes to conceive of Original Sin as the sinfulness of social structures.]

[The previous figure complements Schoonenberg’s view.
How?
Well, it provides an excuse.
IF the thought experiment3H regulates the following:
I, seat of choice3V( my choice and something2 ( potentials of something of value1V))
AND IF I, seat of choice3V does not serve God,
THEN the mirror of the world3H is to blame.]
