[The single actuality composing the intersection of human action and human thought, for the message underlying religion, is what is good and what is bad.
The single actuality composing the intersection of recognition and participation is the state of grace or the state of self-destruction.
My heart is the single actuality corresponding to the entanglement of ‘my choice (revealing my values)2V’ and ‘something (revealing my desire)2H’.]

[In section 2.3, Schoonenberg discusses freedom.
My model for freedom is the thought experiment where ‘I choose something’.
So, I ask the question:
When I, the seat of choice chooses, do I choose a value?
If so, how does value link to the word ‘freedom’?]

‘Freedom of will’ is implicit in the Scripture’s use of the word ‘heart’.
What comes from the heart?
Thoughts, words and deeds come from the heart. Choice comes from the heart.
