For me, to be pure of heart is to source one's motivation in life from something deep within, that goes beyond mere self-interest. It's that innate sense of right or wrong, or ethics, that I write about in the article and which is an extension of nature. I would also say that nature is the form taken by the Whole, so it could be seen as being in harmony with the overall purpose of life. Corruption creeps in when someone is unaware of their innate belonging (perhaps because of what they have been taught in our society) and therefore is trapped in a personal subjectivity, self-interest, or when they lose faith in the voice within and instead follow exterior human voices out to manipulate them.

By the way, I understand your point about not coining new words, and I would say that there are never really any new ideas, just rediscovered old ideas, but as for not coining new phrases... I am not sure what a writer would have to offer in such circumstances!

Thanks for articulating everything that I believe as well. Though I am not so certain that the uncorrupted will inevitably find each other and surmount the dominant forces. I believe that transformation may be necessary to happen first. And the transformation that I am talking about is to unblock whatever is blocking most all of us from effortlessly unleashing torrents of love. This in particular is what I am working on as though my life depends on it, which in actuality it does.

My heart is open, but it needs to open much more. I give unconditional love to others through actions and words, but it is not enough, something is blocking me from giving love that anyone can feel and that I can feel. To open the valve such that one is radiating love effortlessly. Can you imagine that this is what all of humanity must do? The transformation has to be that big.

This is just my opinion but is something that I must do in order to save my own life.
