We may not be living for G*d, but it is sure we are living as G*d.

What does “corporation” mean?
What does corporation mean? We live in the corporate society—the embodied society!

beloved community
A daily and hourly task, a work in progress is our beloved community. Aware of it or not this is why we get out of bed in the morning, and keep going into old or sickly years. So loving the world—is our task.

bound up with the health of each other of us
The well-being of our society, and of each of us, is bound up with the health of each other of us. If one is suffering, the whole is suffering and held back. Societal, politic, and any other way, we are a body. We are ill together or whole together. The field emanating from each of us holding this body together has many labels but its meaning is love—a drawing together of each to each to all and a sending out to embrace—the work to be done for others.

Sin is wrong-headedness…
Sin is wrong-headedness; death is life not lived. We can be freed of our wrong-headedness—failure to hear—to converse—and of life poured away—when we meet. Not taking up our opportunities to converse claps manacles and chains upon our wrists and ankles more surely than tyrants.
So the wages of sin, of refusing to listen and include and seek out to hear other people is that we are not living. We become walking corpses.
This is radical. It sounds like it would be easy to make moralized and kill. But wrong-headedness is of course toward the ground of all being, loving and living: it is killing, it is raping, it is dishonoring, it is stealing the well-being of our neighbor and his and her peace of mind. In this light we can love every one of us: some are missing the mark of including, whose name is love.
