Where does corruption come from?

[sahgwa]

Where do we find forgiveness on the scale. Is it given or received?

Both!  
You have to forgive yourself and receive it ultimately from your own conscience. 
Someone effected by you may choose not to let it go, but that may not be 'proper' for your own self. 
Ultimately I think everyone can realise that they can change and improve and only in forgiveness can we accept our faults.

Sorry comms channel broke down there.

Forgiveness for self and others. Are some lights bad, or is it all a reflection?

The feelings a Heart has need to be respected with enough time for the Mind to know how to react accordingly, if at all.

A single moment can change, save or take a whole life.

Every "Tick" should have it's equal and opposite. A "Tock". Or in other words a "Talk", so that the head and the heart never allow the One to completely control the Other. Communication within the self to nurture the flow of the energies we have swirling around in the darkness. That is when we have control over our Emotions and Understanding of our thoughts to have the Magic of the third invisible thing, a hidden sense, perhaps known as a "Sixth Sense" or "Intuition" maybe?

Me Thinks and Feelz and Flows with no Friction to overcome the internal "Stiction".

Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........

And regarding Politics.

"Govern" = To Control.
"mental" = Of the Mind.

Right there, as usual, in our faces, by those who think EVERYONE is a sheep.

DENY IGNORANCE.

The heart is more than ourselves,
more than any outsider can see.

It's landscape can only really be understood,
by no one other than the owner of the heart.
The heart knows the path...

The heart has something akin to a marriage between weather and mood.
One does not cause the other, but they can interact alchemically.
Even the darkest heart can laugh... the lightest soul can cry.

Intent lives in the heart, and colors all things it recalls.
It carries our truth...
Usually, ironically.

Perhaps the heart is just a nerve-cluster, and an outpost of the mind.
But regardless, the heart seems to be full of the metaphysical,
as well as memories of some kind.
(Makes sense that ancients recognized it as a focal point
for something essentially human.)

Corruption of the heart seems to imply surrender...
but to what? Anger, fear, "opportunity?"

All corruption starts with intent, it's the first variable.

Perhaps it is a surrender to "spiritual weakness".

A "Conscience" takes time to grow and strength to nurture, but it can also work to protect us from those who do the opposite when they cast the opportunity aside for the satisfaction of a moment. Those who do the opposite rarely understand how powerful the process of growing one can be. They see it as a weakness, but for some it is a shield that allows vision into the hearts and minds of others.

The heart is the center of the universe.

Above it is three chakra's and below are three more.
— English translation of the Emerald Tablet by Isaac Newton

The center of the universe is Hell.

Above Hell is Earth, the Heart.

Many might say Hell is where the Heart resides, because its grip of the Heart is so firm.

But that would be acquiescing to the corruption of the Heart.

I absolutely love this.   Seriously, I want to put it to music, perhaps as a rap.

I think that corruption begins with well-intentioned people who form as a group, and then come to believe that whatever they collectively think is best for everyone.   I think it is unfortunately a short step from there to believing that their collective view should be imposed on everyone, even if by legislation or force.   I have said for a long time that you cannot legislate innovation, but you can create such a noxious atmosphere that innovation is forced.   Obviously, that is not the way in which society, civilization or governments should evolve.    Only through voluntary cooperation can true progress evolve.   IMVHO <3

Intent pushes me towards vengeance. It's not the source.
