Structure of mind/will/etc.

I was struggling and struggling to remember where I had heard this and I finally found it!!! Thanks to Google (for prompting the right connections deep in my mind that could be pried out otherwise):

That'll take you to the right page in Greg Boyd's book with a better pair of graphics than I can represent here.

I think there's a lot of truth in this model; gotta ponder it some more???

It was referenced by Rob Ketterling last Saturday in the "re[think]" series at River Valley Church (January 15):

I might hate living in a world filled with television that looks like that… but it probably would be effective.
