Claim. Fallen humans lost their original freedom but retain a seed of original-nature freedom-aspiration. The historical intensification of freedom-aspirations — driving revolutions like the French Revolution — is evidence of the providence of restoration’s progress. Revolutions will continue until true freedom is fully restored.
Elaboration. Per 5.3. Freedom, the Fall and Restoration: even fallen people “possess intact a seed of their original nature which seeks freedom, and this makes it possible for God to carry on the providence to restore it. With the progress of history, people have been ever more zealously aspiring for freedom, even at the cost of their lives. This is evidence that we are in the process of restoring our freedom, long lost due to Satan.”
The freedom in view is teleological, not merely political: “The purpose of our search for freedom is to facilitate the accomplishment of our God-given responsibility, which is essential for fulfilling our purpose of creation.”
As “spirit and truth” — internal and external knowledge — has been progressively given to fallen people across the providential ages, the heart that yearns for original-mind freedom has been revived. “Their heart toward God has also been restored, strengthening their zeal to live according to His Will.”
The political consequence flows from the spiritual one: “as aspirations for freedom mount in intensity, people will demand a social environment conducive to its realization. When the social circumstances of an era cannot satisfy the desires of freedom-loving people, revolutions inevitably erupt. The French Revolution in the eighteenth century is one example. Revolutions will continue until true freedom has been fully restored.”
This atomic licenses DP’s reading of secular liberation history (Enlightenment, abolition, civil rights) as providential — not separate from religion but its outward face.
