For instance, we read, 'As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he'; and of 'the thoughts and intents of the heart. So then the affections, as with us, but also thoughts, purposes, volitions, are all included in the word; and as one passage of Scripture says, 'Out of it are the issues of life. It is the central reservoir, the central personality, the indivisible unit of the thinking, willing, feeling, loving person which I call 'myself. So what Christ says is that where a man's treasure lies, not merely his affections will twine round it, but his whole self will be, as it were, implicated and intertwisted with it, so as that what befalls it will befall him.

A vast forest rose before me. I saw the long shadows of the leafy boughs flung thick upon the sward and the wild tropical vines hanging rope-like from the intertwisted stems.
The blessing was God's special grace; the new life I speak of was a life acknowledging that grace." There was silence for many seconds; for a minute almost, Ruth's hands had locked themselves together, and she pulled at the intertwisted fingers. "I beg your pardon," she said at length. "You are right I do not understand." Her voice had lost its ring; the sound of it was leaden, spiritless.
Frank found himself working on a specially tangled bit of wire that was made still more difficult of handling because it was intertwisted with the stalks of a thick hedge. He had just nipped a piece of wire in two, when his quick ear detected a sound on the other side of the hedge. Instantly he stiffened. Every muscle became as taut as tempered steel.
He then presents it to his next neighbor, that the cover may be again removed for himself to take a draught, after which the third person goes through a similar manoeuvre with a fourth, and he with a fifth, until the whole company find themselves inextricably intertwisted and entangled in one complicated chain of love.
