Heart of Experience

I've spent my entire life avoiding becoming a material man, the tentacles of competition growing out of my heart, fed by the springs of my soul... functioning as some mythical creature, lassoing and capturing passing ships of my environment, controlling my reach of eternal sea – it is the disease of the spirit, not to nurture, but to conquer.... Statesmen are not politicians, the scourge of humanity leaders are not dictators nor kings missing a crown of thorns, the crown of love...one cannot love the world and God in the same heart of experience... to govern...to rule... is to remain slave to your Body of Fears.... (We live within our lines (EXPRESSIONS)...tracks on our arms, neighborhoods, political parties, nationalities and wealth (which is thought to be safety and power -- what we don't do in abundance, is live WITHIN Christ's body -- a body of pure love)
