5 And every soul a kingdom is. There is a king for every man.
6 This king is love, and when this love becomes the greatest power in life, it is the Christ; so Christ is king.
7 And every one may have this Christ dwell in his soul, as Christ dwells in my soul.
8 The body is the temple of the king, and men may call a holy man a king.
9 He who will cleanse his mortal form and make it pure, so pure that love and righteousness may dwell unsullied side by side within its walls, is king.
10 The kings of earth are clothed in royal robes, and sit in state that men may stand in awe of them.
11 A king of heaven may wear a fisher’s garb; may sit in mart of trade; may till the soil, or be a gleaner in the field; may be a slave in mortal chains;
12 May be adjudged a criminal by men; may languish in a prison cell; may die upon a cross.
13 Men seldom see what others truly are. The human senses sense what seems to be, and that which seems to be and that which is, may be diverse in every way.
14 The carnal man beholds the outer man, which is the temple of the king, and worships at his shrine.
