12-1919-12-15 Biblical Resonance Analysis
Volume 12 — December 15, 1919 “The Divine Will, fount of good and of Sanctity.”
STAGE ONE — Independent Biblical Identification
The Divine Will as Fount of Sanctity: Loss of the Origin of Evil
“One who does my Will and lives in It has lost the fount, the seed, the origin of evil, because my Will contains the fount of Sanctity, the seed of all goods, the eternal origin, immutable and inviolable. Therefore, whoever lives in this Fount is holy, and evil has no more contact with her. And if evil seems to appear in anything, it does not take root, because the origin, the seed, is holy.”
1 John 3:4–6 — “Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness. You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him. Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.” The structural identity between the DW soul and the one who “abides in him” from 1 John 3: the one who truly abides does not sin, and John’s basis for this claim — the incompatibility of abiding with the sin-principle — is exactly the structure here. The DW soul has lost the fount of evil not by moral effort but by ontological relocation: she abides, and the abiding dissolves evil’s root. Direct doctrinal parallel
1 John 1:5–7 — “God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. … if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.” The Divine Will as the fount of sanctity is the fount of divine light; to live in it is to walk in the light where darkness — evil’s constitutive element — cannot coexist. The dynamic of cleansing disclosed here (walking in the light expels darkness) is the process by which the origin of evil is “lost.” Direct doctrinal parallel
Romans 8:1–2 — “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.” The freedom from sin’s root through union with Christ — “no condemnation” is the judicial expression; “free from the law of sin and death” is the structural expression — corresponds to the loss of the fount and origin of evil. The DW soul is not merely forgiven but liberated from the originating principle. Direct doctrinal parallel
2 Peter 1:4 — “by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.” The partaking of the divine nature as the mechanism of escape from corruption’s root — “escaped from the corruption” parallels “lost the fount, the seed, the origin of evil.” Participation in the divine nature is precisely what DW living enacts, and 2 Peter names its structural consequence: the corruption that would otherwise persist loses its hold. Direct doctrinal parallel
John 15:3 — “You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.” The soul’s purity through the living word that constitutes the DW teaching: cleanliness is not achieved but conferred through reception of the word. The word that teaches and forms the soul in the DW simultaneously constitutes its holiness. Direct doctrinal parallel
God’s Justice as Love: The Appearance of Evil in Divine Action
“This happens also in Me. When my Justice forces Me to strike creatures, it appears that I do harm to them, making them suffer… But this cannot be, because the origin, the seed of evil is not in Me; on the contrary, in that pain that I send, there is in Me a more tender and intense love.”
1 John 1:5 — “This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” The absolute categorical impossibility of evil’s origin in God — the theological axiom underlying the entry’s argument. Because the seed of evil is not in God, the apparent harm of divine justice cannot be what it appears: the viewer’s limitation, not God’s nature, generates the misreading. Direct doctrinal parallel
Psalm 145:17 — “The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and gracious in all his works.” The dual predication — righteous AND kind in all his works simultaneously — is the scriptural statement of what the entry discloses experientially: in the pain God sends, there is simultaneously a more tender and intense love. Justice and kindness are never in tension in God’s works; what appears as one is always also the other. Direct doctrinal parallel
Hebrews 12:6–11 (translation pending) — “For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives… He disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” The governing Pauline-tradition account of divine chastisement as love in action — “the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant” is the phenomenological form of “it appears that I do harm.” The goal of holiness (sharing his holiness) is the love concealed within the apparent harm. Direct doctrinal parallel
Lamentations 3:32–33 — “For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses. For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.” The affliction is real but not God’s heart’s content; his heart’s content is the steadfast love that the affliction serves. “He does not afflict from his heart” is the Lamentations form of “the origin, the seed of evil is not in Me.” Direct doctrinal parallel
Romans 8:28 — “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.” The theological ground for reading all divine action — including what appears as harm — as ultimately directed toward good. The “more tender and intense love” in the chastisement is the operative principle Paul states as a universal: all things are being worked toward good. Direct doctrinal parallel
The Human Will as Fount of All Evils
“Only the human will is fount which contains the seed of all evils; and if it seems to do some good, that good is infected, and whoever touches that good will remain infected and poisoned.”
Mark 7:21–23 — “For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts, covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile the man.” Jesus’s own authoritative teaching on the human heart as the definitive locus of evil’s origin — “from within” is the exact equivalent of “the human will is fount which contains the seed of all evils.” The alignment between this entry’s theological claim and Christ’s own teaching in the Synoptics is direct and unmediated. Direct doctrinal parallel
Jeremiah 17:9–10 — “The heart is deceitful above all things and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it? “I, the LORD, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.” The prophetic announcement of the human heart’s radical unreliability as a source of good — “desperately sick” and “deceitful above all things” establishes the depth of infection the entry names. The heart that appears to do good remains the heart that Jeremiah describes; its good is infected at the root. Direct doctrinal parallel
Isaiah 64:6 — “For we have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.” The most exact OT parallel to “that good is infected, and whoever touches that good will remain infected and poisoned.” The righteous deeds that proceed from the unregenerate human will are themselves unclean — touching them produces contamination, not benefit. Direct doctrinal parallel
Romans 7:14–24 (translation pending) — “I am of the flesh, sold under sin… For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.” Paul’s anatomy of the human will under sin provides the interior mechanism of the infected good: the will that wishes to do good is itself subject to sin’s principle at the root, so that its good-willing produces evil. The infection is not a surface corruption of otherwise-sound material but a root-level contamination. Direct doctrinal parallel
Genesis 6:5 (CPDV) — “Then God, seeing that the wickedness of men was great upon the earth and that every thought of their heart was intent upon evil at all times” The radicality of the human will’s corruption at its worst — “every intention only evil continually” — names the extreme of what the entry describes structurally: the human will as fount of all evils, even when it appears to produce good. Direct doctrinal parallel
Galatians 5:17 — “For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.” The structural opposition between the flesh-oriented will and the Spirit — the infected good proceeds from the flesh’s orientation even when it appears virtuous; the very categories are opposed at the root. Direct doctrinal parallel
Mutual Wounding Through Love: Teaching Returned as Love’s Arrow
“My daughter, as you keep repeating what I have taught you, I feel wounded by my own Love. When I taught you this, I wounded you with my Eternal Love; when you repeat it for Me, you wound Me, and just by remembering my words and teachings, it is wounds that you send to Me. If you love Me, wound Me always.”
Song of Songs 4:9 — “You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride. You have ravished my heart with one of your eyes, with one chain of your neck.” The Bridegroom “heart-wounded” by the beloved’s love is the governing anchor for the wounding-through-love dynamic. The Hebrew verb (libbabat) names precisely what Jesus discloses: the beloved’s responsive love inflicts a wound of captivation upon the Divine. That God can be thus wounded is the Song of Songs’ most theologically remarkable disclosure, and the entry claims it explicitly for the DW relationship. Affective/meditative
Song of Songs 8:6 — “Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of the LORD.” Love’s irresistible, mortal intensity — “strong as death” — establishes the register in which wounds inflicted by love are the deepest possible wounds. The flame of love that wounded Luisa when Jesus taught her is the same flame she returns to him in repetition: the same fire, going the other direction. Affective/meditative
John 15:15 — “No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.” The disclosure of teaching to the friend — “all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you” — positions the repetition of Jesus’s teaching as the act of friendship returning the given gift to its source. What the Master disclosed to the friend is given back when the friend enacts it; the act of repetition becomes an act of love wounding the One who gave the teaching. Direct doctrinal parallel
Hebrews 13:15 — “Through him, then, let’s offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name.” The continual sacrifice of praise through the fruit of lips corresponds to Luisa’s repeated enacting of the substitutionary course: each repetition is a liturgical offering that wounds God with his own love returned. The “continual” character of this offering is the structural form of “wound Me always.” Direct doctrinal parallel
Psalm 45:1 — “For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.” A contemplation by the sons of Korah. A wedding song. My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.” The tongue that gives back to the King what the King’s own beauty generated in the soul — the overflow of received love returning to its Source. Luisa repeating Jesus’s own teachings to him is the enacted form of this psalmic movement: the soul’s tongue becomes the pen recording and returning his own words. Affective/meditative
STAGE TWO — Comparison with Hogan’s Commentary
CORRESPONDENCES
Both identify 1 John (specifically the no-sin-in-the-one-who-abides principle) as the governing anchor for the first movement: Stage One used 1 John 3:4–6 and 1 John 1:5–7; Hogan explicitly cited “1 John 3, 3-6” and “1 John 1, 5-7.” The passages are nearly identical in scope and converge on the same theological claim. Both recognize the Divine Will’s structural incompatibility with sin’s root as the doctrinal center of the first movement. Both identify Mark 7:21–23 and Jeremiah 17:9–10 as the governing anchors for the third movement (human will as fount of evil) — exact CORRESPONDENCES. Both note the infected-good principle and its consequences.
DEVIATIONS
For the divine justice as love movement, Stage One deployed Hebrews 12:6–11 (the Lord disciplines those he loves / share his holiness) and Lamentations 3:32–33 (does not afflict from his heart). Hogan used Hebrews 12:2 (for the joy set before him he endured the cross) — emphasizing the forward-looking, telos-oriented character of divine action through pain rather than its internal loving character. Stage One’s angle: divine chastisement is love from within; Hogan’s angle: divine chastisement is love looking forward. The two framings are complementary and together more complete than either alone.
For the mutual-wounding movement, Stage One grounded it in the Song of Songs bilateral love-wounding tradition (Song 4:9; 8:6) and the friendship-disclosure of John 15:15. Hogan paraphrases the movement without scriptural citation for this section, focusing instead on the pastoral translation of “wounded” as “deeply touched.” Stage One’s explicit anchoring in Song 4:9 and Song 8:6 supplies the scriptural depth Hogan’s reading implies but does not name.

ADDITIONS — HERS
- 2 Corinthians 4:7 (cited by Hogan at the opening of this entry’s commentary, likely bridging from December 6): “We have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.” Applied to the DW soul containing divine holiness within a creaturely vessel — the treasure-in-clay structure as the formal correlate of the DW soul’s paradox: the fount of sanctity resident within fallen human nature.
- Hebrews 12:14 (cited by Hogan): “Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.” The goal of holiness that Hebrews names as the condition for seeing God is what the DW grants as a structural property — the disciple who strives for holiness under ordinary grace is placed alongside the DW soul for whom holiness is constituted by the fount itself.
- Revelation 21:27 (cited by Hogan): “But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.” The New Jerusalem admits nothing unholy — Hogan uses the eschatological City of God to frame the DW soul’s purity as the anticipated fullness of what the heavenly city will make explicit: the DW soul already embodies the New Jerusalem’s exclusion principle interiorly.
- Hebrews 12:2 (cited by Hogan): “Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame.” Applied to divine chastisement’s telos-orientation: God like Christ endures the shame of appearing unjust because the life on the other side is what his gaze is fixed upon — the forward-looking love that contains the apparent harm.
- Philippians 4:13 (cited by Hogan): “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” Applied to the contrast with the human will’s infection: without God, only evil; with him, all things. The Pauline statement of empowered creaturely capacity as the reverse face of the human will’s structural incapacity acting alone.
VIP / SPECIAL DESIGNATIONS
No formal VIP designation. Hogan provides extended theological commentary on both the DW-holiness and the human-will-infection movements but does not apply formal threshold language.
STAGE TWO SYNTHESIS
The entry is structurally a doctrinal triptych — DW as fount of sanctity / human will as fount of evil / bilateral wounding through love — with the second section (divine justice as love) serving as a theological interlude establishing that even apparent evil is subject to the same root-principle: the origin of sanctity governs all of God’s action. Stages One and Hogan align closely on the first and third movements (1 John / Mark 7 / Jeremiah 17), with Stage One’s greater scriptural depth in the bilateral-wounding movement offsetting Hogan’s unique contributions (2 Corinthians 4:7 as treasure-in-clay paradox; Revelation 21:27 as eschatological frame; Hebrews 12:2 as telos-vision for divine action through pain). The structural coherence of the three movements is tight: the DW soul has lost the origin of evil because it has entered the fount of sanctity; the human will retained without the DW remains the source of infected good; and the soul who lives in the fount can wound God with his own love returned, because the love given by the fount is the only thing capable of wounding its Source.
Cross-Entry Synthesis
Volume 12 — December 15, 1919 “The Divine Will, fount of good and of Sanctity.”
The Divine Will as Fount of Sanctity: Loss of the Origin of Evil
The entry’s opening disclosure advances the DWE-1 doctrine to a new ontological register. Prior DWE-1 forms established the DW as a spatial-architectural enclosure impenetrable to the instruments of spiritual threat — fear cannot find the door (October 15, 1919). Here the theology deepens: the DW soul has not merely been enclosed away from evil but has lost the very root, fount, and seed of evil itself. The distinction is ontological rather than spatial. Enclosure can be violated; loss of the originating principle cannot be undone from outside.
Both Stage One and Hogan converge on 1 John as the governing scriptural tradition for this movement. Hogan cited 1 John 3:3–6 (no one who abides in him keeps on sinning); Stage One deployed both 1 John 3:4–6 and 1 John 1:5–7 (walking in the light where darkness cannot coexist). The two Johannine passages work in complementary registers: 1 John 1:5–7 establishes the structural incompatibility of light and darkness — the DW as light dissolves the very environment in which evil’s root can survive; 1 John 3:4–6 establishes the behavioral consequence — the one who truly abides does not sin, because the abiding principle and the sin-principle are mutually exclusive. Together they ground the entry’s claim that the origin of evil is “lost” rather than merely suppressed: to be relocated into the light of the Divine Will is to be moved into conditions where evil’s seed cannot germinate.
Stage One’s additional anchors — Romans 8:1–2 (freed from the law of sin and death) and 2 Peter 1:4 (partakers of divine nature, having escaped corruption) — supply the Pauline and Petrine doctrinal ground for the same structural claim. What the Johannine tradition states in the language of light-and-darkness, Paul states in the language of liberation from the governing principle, and Peter states in the language of participation in divine nature producing escape from corruption. The three traditions — Johannine, Pauline, Petrine — converge on a single ontological datum: the soul’s entry into the fount of sanctity entails a structural displacement of evil’s originating condition.
Hogan’s citation of 2 Corinthians 4:7 as a bridging reference from the preceding entry — “we have this treasure in jars of clay” — introduces the paradox of the DW soul’s situation from the outside: the fount of sanctity dwelling in creaturely weakness. The two-sided picture is complete: from within (the soul has lost the origin of evil, is holy, the fount is inviolable), and from without (the vessel remains creaturely, fragile, subject to the appearance of evil from those who read only the clay). Hogan’s Revelation 21:27 (nothing unclean enters the New Jerusalem) frames the DW soul’s interior purity as already participating in the eschatological City’s exclusion principle — a proleptic New Jerusalem constituted within the soul now.
God’s Justice as Love: The Theological Interlude
The second section functions as a theological interlude that extends the entry’s governing principle — the fount of sanctity — to all of God’s action. Because the origin of evil is not in God, the apparent harm of divine justice cannot be what it appears: the appearance is a function of the observer’s vantage point, not of God’s nature. This is simultaneously a WDC-1 discernment criterion and a theological axiom: the correct reading of divine action requires accounting for the absolute impossibility of evil’s origin in God.
Stage One grounded this in Hebrews 12:6–11 (the Lord disciplines those he loves) and Lamentations 3:32–33 (he does not afflict from his heart). Hogan deployed Hebrews 12:2 (for the joy set before him he endured the cross) and Psalm 145:17 (righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works). The four passages establish two complementary angles on the same theological reality. Stage One’s Hebrews 12:6–11 and Lamentations 3:32–33 establish the internal character of divine chastisement — its motive is love, its fruit is holiness, its source is not the divine heart’s deepest desire. Hogan’s Hebrews 12:2 and Psalm 145:17 establish the teleological character — God’s gaze is fixed on the joy beyond the pain, on the life the chastisement will produce. Together: divine action through pain is love in its motive (Stage One), love in its direction (Hogan), and love in its result (both).
The Human Will as Fount of All Evils
The third section provides the precise theological contrast: what the DW is as fount of sanctity, the human will is as fount of evil. The structural symmetry is exact. The DW soul has lost the origin of evil; the soul governed by its own will retains not merely occasional sin but the generative source of all evil, contaminating even its apparent goods.
Mark 7:21–23 and Jeremiah 17:9–10 are CORRESPONDENCES — both Stage One and Hogan identified them independently. The alignment is significant: these are the two most authoritative texts in the biblical tradition for locating evil’s origin within the human heart. Christ’s own teaching (Mark 7) and the prophet’s lamentation (Jeremiah 17) together constitute the scriptural diagnosis that the entry’s theology addresses. The DW is the sole structural remedy for the condition these texts name: since evil proceeds from within, only a transformation at the root — a displacement of the human will by the Divine — can address it.
Isaiah 64:6 (“all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment”) provides the sharpest OT parallel to the entry’s most theologically striking claim: that even the human will’s apparent good is “infected and poisoned.” The entry does not limit the diagnosis to obviously sinful acts but extends it to the morally positive productions of the unregenerate will. The infected good is more dangerous than visible evil because it appears clean. Stage One’s deployment of Romans 7:14–24 (Paul’s anatomy of the will under sin — desiring good but doing evil) provides the interior mechanism: the infection is not a surface corruption of otherwise-sound faculty but a root-level condition of the faculty itself.
Mutual Wounding Through Love: Teaching Returned as Love’s Arrow
The entry closes with one of the most affectively remarkable disclosures in Volume 12: Jesus’s teaching, when repeated back to him by Luisa in her substitutionary course, wounds him with his own love. The bilateral structure is precise — the same love travels in both directions, wounding each in turn, and the wounding is the goal (“if you love Me, wound Me always”).
This constitutes a new RSD-1 register: the bilateral-wounding-through-love form. Prior RSD-1 advances established bilateral exchange of sorrow-consolation (April 19), bilateral Eucharistic communion (February 27), bilateral actor-spectator alternation (November 3). Here the exchange is specifically wounding: Jesus wounded Luisa with his Eternal Love when he taught her; she wounds him with the same love when she repeats his teaching. The medium of the wound is the teaching itself — the Word given, received, enacted, and returned. The bilateral circuit is complete: Word → wound → Word returned → wound.
Stage One grounded this in Song of Songs 4:9 (the Bridegroom heart-wounded by the beloved) and Song 8:6 (love strong as death, the flame of the LORD). These are the governing Solomonic anchors for the theological claim that love can wound the Divine. John 15:15 (called friends, all made known) establishes the structural condition: the teaching was disclosed to a friend, not a servant; the friend’s repetition of the disclosure is not mere obedience but the act of friendship returning the gift to its source. Hebrews 13:15 (continual sacrifice of praise through the fruit of lips) provides the liturgical dimension: the repeated enacting of the substitutionary course is a perpetual offering, a sacrifice of praise that wounds through its constancy. Hogan’s restatement — “feel deeply touched” in place of “wounded” — softens the affective register but captures the same bilateral dynamic: the teaching given returns as love received, and the receiving is experienced as wound.
The observation that “just by remembering my words and teachings, it is wounds that you send to Me” extends the bilateral-wounding principle to an unexpected register: passive remembrance itself wounds. Memory of the beloved’s teaching is already an act of love that touches God. The soul need not be actively enacting the substitutionary course to wound him; the mere recollection of what he taught constitutes an arrow of love. This is the most interior form of the MWI-1 merit-by-will-intent principle translated into the affective register: the interior act of remembrance carries the full weight of love’s wounding, independent of exterior performance.
Synthesis
Dominant biblical imagination: The entry draws on three converging traditions — Johannine light-and-abiding (1 John 1 and 3), Pauline liberation from sin’s principle (Romans 7–8; 2 Peter 1), and Solomonic love-wounding (Song of Songs 4 and 8) — organized around a structural contrast: the DW as fount of sanctity whose light dissolves evil’s root, and the human will as fount of evil whose corruption infects even its apparent goods.
Most load-bearing scriptural traditions: The Johannine abiding-tradition (1 John 3:4–6 and 1:5–7) governs the first movement and supplies the strongest doctrinal ground for the DWE-1 advance. The Song of Songs bilateral-wounding tradition (4:9; 8:6) is the load-bearing anchor for the final movement — without it, the claim that love can wound the Divine lacks its governing scriptural home. Isaiah 64:6 is the sharpest OT anchor for the infected-good claim, the entry’s most theologically striking assertion in the third movement.
Three findings of highest theological significance:
-
DWE-1 advance: loss of the origin of evil as ontological displacement. Prior DWE-1 forms established the DW as a protective enclosure impenetrable to evil’s instruments; this entry discloses something ontologically deeper — the DW soul has lost the very root, seed, and fount of evil. The soul is not guarded from evil’s approach; it no longer carries the condition in which evil can germinate. The difference between protection and root-displacement is the difference between defense and transformation. This is the most structurally complete DWE-1 form disclosed to this point.
-
RSD-1 advance: bilateral wounding through teaching returned. The new register — Jesus wounds Luisa with his eternal love through teaching; she wounds him when she enacts and remembers that teaching — discloses the teaching-relationship itself as a perpetual bilateral love-exchange. The Word given becomes the arrow returned; remembrance alone is sufficient to wound. This extends the Song of Songs’ bilateral-wounding tradition into the theological category of divine disclosure: the act of receiving and repeating divine teaching is structurally a wounding of the Divine Teacher.
-
The infected-good principle as the structural inverse of the fount of sanctity. The entry’s most theologically unsettling claim — that even the good produced by the human will is infected and contaminates those who touch it — is the precise structural inverse of the fount-of-sanctity claim. The DW soul spreads holiness by its very contact with others because its source is holy; the unregenerate human will spreads infection even in its morally positive productions. The theological architecture of the entire entry rests on this structural contrast, and it elevates the DW vocation from spiritual aspiration to ontological necessity: without the DW, even good is tainted at its root.
Observation Notes

12-1919-12-15
DWE-1 advance — root-displacement form: The entry advances DWE-1 beyond the October 15 spatial-enclosure form (fear cannot find the door) to an ontological register: the DW soul has lost the fount, seed, and origin of evil itself. This is not protection against evil’s approach but displacement of the very condition in which evil germinates. Most structurally complete DWE-1 form to this point. Governing anchors: 1 John 3:4–6; 1 John 1:5–7; Romans 8:1–2; 2 Peter 1:4.
RSD-1 advance — bilateral-wounding-through-teaching form: New RSD-1 register: Jesus wounded Luisa with his Eternal Love through teaching; she wounds him by repeating and remembering that teaching. The teaching-relationship itself constitutes a perpetual bilateral love-exchange; passive remembrance alone is sufficient to wound. Extends the Song of Songs bilateral-wounding tradition into the theology of divine disclosure. Governing anchors: Song of Songs 4:9; Song of Songs 8:6; John 15:15; Hebrews 13:15.
