Salvation

1. What is Salvation?
Salvation is the recovery of the awareness that God created you as a god, in the image of Himself, made to live as a spirit being in the same "place" as God, with Him and all His creations, for eternity.

2. How does one achieve it?
You don't achieve it. It is simply awakening to the truth about you once we wish for help with our impossible human existence, thereby activating the Holy Spirit to guide the process of withdrawing us from belief in our human state and recovering awareness of our divine state. We've done our job once we no longer guide our own sense of destiny. The Holy Spirit knows how to take over from there, whether we feel the Spirit's presence in any moment or not. The Spirit takes us through what we might experience as the ups and downs of the Spirit led process in a perfect, gentle, all-knowing way.

3. Why is it needed?
Salvation is not needed as such, because we were born into the totality of God's love and oneness with us. What is simply needed in the awareness of that reality. The umbilical cord to God always stays in place, because our ultimate fulfillment is within God's court, not away from it. God would never let us actually lessen ourselves from what He made, because that would place us in a lower state. But God never impedes us from experimenting and imagining some different state than what He made us because we can't change by our imaginings what He made us to be in the first place.

4. Is it available to all people?
Absolutely. Jesus tells us that life is in the Spirit, and that the flesh is nothing. Therefore we're all playing a game of "nothing". Once we throw in the "nothing" game, and recognize we need help to find our way out, we are all taken home by the Holy Spirit in good and measured time.

5. What is the difference between salvation and redemption?
I'll stick by what I said above. Neither word is helpful to my understanding and my experiencing a "re-awakening", when I threw the sponge in on my human mind inability to bring me a sense of peace and a solid feeling of worth.

6. How does one gain the awareness that they have received salvation? Or that it is coming to them?
That single moment, when one knows the meaninglessness of the human life and the reality of the divine life of absolute love and self worth, and that it could never be anything else, is delivered to us by the Holy Spirit. We don't gain it or earn it, or invent the process, or get there from our own ability. We don't anticipate it, because the human mind is not capable of that. It is suddenly delivered to us at a Spirit determined moment totally unexpected by the process of grace and revelation. We're led into it, unknowingly. But it's not a moment of the human mind. It is a moment of awareness of the divine mind within us, and its qualities of peace, love and a complete fulfillment.

7. Can you lose it?
You can only imagine that you've lost the divine self, or be unaware of its existence. But we never can lose it. The ignorance of the human mind and its opposition to the divine mind makes us think that we can lose it. One more false belief entertained by the "nothing" human mind.

8. How do you ask God for it and once you ask, can it be taken away?
I didn't know to ask God for help. I stopped following the limited professional beliefs of Psychology, was led by others to be aware of another realm other than the human one, and I felt there was some kind of hope or help there, and that opened me to the Spirit's action. Can it be taken away? I never experienced that. I'm just a mixture of healed understandings, that enable me to function, and unhealed areas, that cause distress until Spirit shows up and moves forward one more step.
