Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 2.1CW

[What about the spiritual senses?

Through ‘the features of my human nature conducive for grace and communion with God’, I may feel ‘the unlimited potential from which both I and myself emerge’ as well ‘as the normal context that brings I and myself into relation with that unlimited potential’.

I may spiritually sense the inflowing of grace.

Sin offers a different option.

I may spiritually sense the inflowing of self destruction.

I may spiritually sense ‘sin as ‘something’ outside myself, altering my potential’.

When sin enters, it feels like liberation. I feel as if I am becoming more potent. My limiting normal context has expanded. So has my capacity for self-destruction.]
