OF HEART AND MIND

life

(A Spiritual Of Thoughts)

The heart is the repository

of spiritual love;

the mind, the repository

of needed reality.

The heart knows no hate

and does not have it;

the mind is aware of hate

and sees its negativity.

In the heart, it is deemed

that where love is, hate can’t be

In the mind, it is conceived that hate

is evil and cannot ever be loved;

The mind deems hate oppressive

and cannot be forgiven.

In the repository of life are

both floating love and hate

challenging the rationality

of both the heart and the mind.

How rational can it be to love

oppression and to hate liberation?

How rational can it be to love

your enemy and hate your liberator?

In the repository of life,

conflict often boils between

heart and mind; both having

to navigate the cognitive leveling

in their nature being; both heart

and mind having to contend with

desires and necessities:-

The resolving of heart and mind conflict,

requires pours from the repository

of the soul and its divine spirit.

With respect to the spirit and the soul,

scripture says much; reminding us that

we must keep our “...heart with all diligence…

For…realizing emotionality, we should know

That “out of [the heart] are issues of life.”

Therefore, we are also admonished

to get wisdom and understanding:-

“Wisdom is the principle thing…”

and getting it, get understanding:-

Thus, while we must believe deep

in our hearts that we shall overcome,

it is without hesitation of mind that

we must ensure such, with peace of mind.

And that peace of mind can only come

with hating oppression and loving liberty;

For it is only in hating oppression and

loving liberation that forgiveness is giveable.

We as an oppressed people must make it

abundantly clear to our evil oppressors:

We are on the battlefield of the Lord;

and as Cone echoes, we will not be distracted;

In no way can they halt our liberation destiny

by their obscene talk of love’s reconciliation.

Finally, once more and again, let us,

deep in our hearts and minds, be aware

that in being engaged on the battlefield

of the Lord for true and full emancipation,

begins with the liberation of the mind.
