Is sanctification a flavor of grace?&nbsp;&nbsp;I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do know that&nbsp;<em>the production of a phantasm<sub>2b<\/sub><\/em>, where&nbsp;<em>the perceptive soul [informs] the reactive body<sub>2b<\/sub><\/em>, requires synthesis, in addition to analysis.&nbsp;&nbsp;That explains why it<sub>2b<\/sub>&nbsp;is full of emotion.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The reactive body<sub>2b<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;externalizes&nbsp;<em>what the perceptive soul<sub>1b<\/sub><\/em>&nbsp;internalizes.&nbsp;&nbsp;That accounts for why the phantasm<sub>2b<\/sub>&nbsp;is subject to correction.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Narrative<sub>3b<\/sub>&nbsp;is a normal context that facilitates such synthesis and analysis.&nbsp;&nbsp;Clearly,&nbsp;<em>the Creation Story of Genesis<\/em>&nbsp;does not ask us to situate our origins using Aristotle&#8217;s four causes.&nbsp;&nbsp;Rather,&nbsp;<em>chapter one of Genesis<\/em>&nbsp;calls us to imagine&nbsp;<em>a

potential of situating content<sub>1b<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a picture with a noteworthy title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a

to&nbsp;<em>appreciating the Creation Story of Genesis as a sign of the evolutionary record<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Original justice<sub>&nbsp;<\/sub>must occupy&nbsp;<em>a slot on the perspective level<sub>c<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Original justice<sub>2c<\/sub>&nbsp;is intimated in&nbsp;<em>the initial two-level interscope pictured above<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Original justice<sub>2c<\/sub>&nbsp;touches base&nbsp;<em>with primary causation<\/em>&nbsp;on the content and situation levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Original justice<sub>2c<\/sub>&nbsp;illuminates&nbsp;<em>the normal contexts<sub>3a,3b<\/sub>&nbsp;and the underlying possibilities<sub>1a,1b<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0046 But, before I proceed to these topics, I want to step back and look at&nbsp;<em>the actualities<sub>2a,2b<\/sub>&nbsp;associated with secondary causation<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;These actualities compose&nbsp;<em>a model for the way that humans sensibly think, as they go about their daily lives, without paying attention to the perspective in which they operate<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;I would go as far to say that humans do not evolve to directly represent&nbsp;<em>actualities such as original justice<sub>2c<\/sub><\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;They evolve to live them<sub>2c<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<em>the Lebenswelt that we evolved in,<\/em>&nbsp;humans adapt to&nbsp;<em>the potential of triadic relations<sub>1a<\/sub><\/em>, by constructing phantasms<sub>2b<\/sub>from sensations<sub>2a<\/sub>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Those sensations<sub>2a<\/sub>&nbsp;are stimulated by nature.&nbsp;&nbsp;They are also triggered by our own intentional manual brachial gestures<sub>2a<\/sub>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our sensations<sub>2a<\/sub>&nbsp;are attuned to external and internal significations.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our phantasms<sub>2b<\/sub>&nbsp;construct internal objects, which our bodies react to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, when I encounter a turtle, my sensations and feelings construct an object,&nbsp;<em>hey, this will cook up nicely<\/em>, that causes my mouth to water.&nbsp;&nbsp;So, I gesture the words,&nbsp;<em>here turtle<\/em>, to a fellow teammate and my object<sub>2b<\/sub>&nbsp;becomes intersubjective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0047 In sum, the content- and situation-level actualities<sub>2a,2b<\/sub>&nbsp;represent&nbsp;<em>a portrait of the way humans are in the world<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phantasms<sub>2b<\/sub>&nbsp;virtually situate sensations<sub>2a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a

Lebenswelt that we evolved in<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0051 So, what is the difference between&nbsp;<em>our current Lebenswelt<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>the Lebenswelt that we evolved in?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, the Biblical Creation Story tells me this.&nbsp;&nbsp;God declares that&nbsp;<em>the Lebenswelt that we evolved in<\/em>&nbsp;is good.&nbsp;&nbsp;So the primary causes, which are now empty slots, touch base with original justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, once I pass Genesis 2:3, the Story of the Garden of Eden suggests that, with Adam&#8217;s rebellion, original justice is lost.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is just like a fairy tale, where an enchantment is lost, from one point of view, and insights are gained, from another point of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0052 So, the normal contexts<sub>3a,3b<\/sub>&nbsp;and possibilities<sub>1a,1b<\/sub>&nbsp;are empty for a reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<em>the Lebenswelt that we evolved in<\/em>, these actualities<sub>2a,2b<\/sub>&nbsp;address&nbsp;<em>hominins in the world<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<em>our current Lebenswelt<\/em>, these actualities<sub>2a,2b<\/sub>&nbsp;present&nbsp;<em>a picture of human subjectivity<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0053 Human are sensible.&nbsp;&nbsp;They take the perspective level for granted.&nbsp;&nbsp;Only when the situation goes horribly wrong do humans question their perspective.&nbsp;&nbsp;Indeed,&nbsp;<em>our current capacity to question our perspective<\/em>&nbsp;suggests that our situation has already gone horribly wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0054 So I ask, &#8220;What give rise to sensations<sub>2a<\/sub>?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sensations and feelings<sub>2a<\/sub>&nbsp;emerge from (and situate)&nbsp;<em>the potential of

imagination<sub>1b<\/sub>) in the normal context of&nbsp;<em>what the content means to me<sub>3b<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0056 Here is&nbsp;<em>a picture of human subjectivity<\/em>&nbsp;(as
