[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.]

[Schoonenberg mentions other terms besides “heart”.
These terms include deeds, thoughts, freedom, bondage, and obligations.
These terms look like transitions between categories.
Each starts in one category and ends up in the adjacent higher category.]

[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’.]

[The thought experiment where ‘I choose something’ is visualized as an intersection in a previous blog.
I can draw parallels to the intersection that comprises the message underlying the word ‘religion’.]
