On Salvation

        

          Baptize the material sense in the pristine waters of Christed consciousness. There never was a power beside God, the Good; never a law not subject to His Sovereignty. The ego is a thought of lawlessness, reflected in a world of want and need; of misery and death.  It bids you take shelter under its “laws” that are not sourced in God's protecting Laws. But safety there cannot be found, as they are based on punishment, which drove mankind out of the Garden originally. 

          Seek not salvation where it is not found, but let us return to our Father’s House, and boldly come before the Throne of God, to ask for our inheritance—and not to squander it, but only that we may serve better the world as we serve ourselves. Salvation is a Gift meant to be shared, until such time when it is recognized Salvation’s opposite does not exist. Then what time seemed to be will be no more; a depressing duration in which God was seen as absent from experience; a dissatisfying and ongoing unholy instant, wherein we must search in vain without for gifts with which to fill a hole perceived to be within our hearts. Each gift but made the hole even wider, the darkness deeper. Be you thankful that this void need not any longer be filled, but left behind in mercy on yourself.

          Be grateful that your Father did not will salvation rest on the impossible. An infinite abyss cannot be filled, for it is but a false creation. This is Salvation’s keynote: what is unreal needs not be tended to in any way, in any shape nor form. In leaving it behind, we but abandon our own death; the crucifixion wrought by our own hands.

          Releasing our attachment to the cross, we drop the burden of imagined sin, and return again to the world of form, sharing the message of resurrection:  Peace be with you. It is but peace you seek; it is the journey’s completion. It is complete this moment; now, if you so wish. Such is the power of your desiring; a power that must needs be respected if you would have undone for you that which was never done in Truth. God goes with you. What could you ever fear if this were true?

          You could not make an illusory world that shut God out. Really, all that you did was fantasize his absence. Recognize with gladness this is true, for it is in this Knowledge that the whole Atonement lies. The All-encompassing cannot be kept apart in any time, in any place nor condition. For God’s infinitude cannot be checked anymore than can yours. The ego can delay you but a short while longer; for you are awakening to the fact that, as it was born of pain, it is but pain it offers with its "gifts".
