Notes regarding WdW II, 496 1. Corresponds to NC II, 563. 2. After the fall, the human selfhood lost its insight into the structure of reality. 3. The fall was a misuse of religious freedom. 4. In the fullness of meaning, the law is a law of freedom. See Baader, who says that it is only in its temporal form that the law is felt as a burden. 5. In the fall, we lost this fullness of meaning, and the human selfhood "fell away into the temporal horizon." The fall of the selfhood into the temporal horizon has not been adequately commented on by Dooyeweerd scholars. It is a fall of the selfhood from the religious horizon to the temporal. Baader speaks of this falling away into the temporal. We have become 'versetzt' or displaced beings. Created as supratemporal, we now function in the temporal. 6. this is apo-stasy, a turning away from enstasis. 7. As a result of our falling away into the temporal, we absolutize aspects of the temporal.
