Article VII of VII
Word and Life Match
How you express it.
Sovereignty shows in how you live: in your agreements, your work and how you treat people.
The drift here is spiritual materialism. We collect insights, tools and identities to make the ego bigger, and we take the freedom without the responsibility.
Integrity brings us home. We keep our word to others the way we keep it to ourselves. We make things, and we let our work in the world carry what we practice in private. We keep agreements, and when we can't, we renegotiate them openly. And we give other people's journeys the same grace we give our own.
