What is Salvation?

As I listened during today’s lesson: “Holding grievances is an attack on God’s plan for salvation.
“What is salvation, Father? Tell me, that I may understand,” this is what I “heard.”

Spirit: Salvation is to be freed from illusions, from insane plans for survival, from investment in false dreams.
Salvation is love. When you accept the Presence of Love, the false falls away. In Love’s Presence, there is no cause (for guilt/fear) and no need for illusion or lies.

Salvation is the healing of a mind made mad. It is accepting the truth and nothing added to the truth. The impossible stories that mind thought up, vanish in the light of Love.

The idols that you have dreamed to protect the body are nothing. The body is nothing for is is not real. Only the eternal is real. As God’s Son you are real, Love created you like Itself. Choose to release the dream you have made. Choose to release the idols that you thought would protect you.
Release the belief that you can be harmed, and have harmed others. Love can never harm. Love only extends, gives Itself. Love gives love to all.

Do not be chained to the past—-the past is gone. It is a fantasy of mind insane with pain of guilt. The past is nothing, for it was “made” from nothing. It has no value, it holds no treasure. It’s purpose in the ego mind is to distort the now, making the future like the past.


To me, Spirit tells ideas so simply. Only the insane mind thinks such ideas are lies, made to trap and kill. Letting go of what is not real cannot be fearful. Holy Spirit is the only one that undoes the false thoughts I have made. He reveals to me what is Real. Holy Spirit is the only one that can shine the light that I may recognize the truth, the love that is in my mind, that I am One with.

A Senseless Game

The other morning, I gave myself “time” to be still and listen to my Inner Teacher.  I have made up the story that I do not have enough time to listen every morning when “I have to get the body ready for work.” This is a story that I need to question! I feel great comfort when I do choose to listen, still I will allow the little mind to be in charge and deny the peace and comfort that comes with listening to Spirit. I seem to struggle to let go of “my problems” of the outside world, when it really is no struggle at all. The false mind loves conflict (struggle) for that seems to make it real and it’s world real. I share with you the message that Spirit gave me, to help me remember what is false and what is true.

Dear One, As you deny your feelings, they cannot be given to me for healing.
Is this what you really want? You are playing a senseless game. When you deny some feeling (having judged it as wrong) you are making some illusion real to yourself. You do not really want more illusions. Playing with illusions only adds to your guilt and fear.
In place of analyzing why you feel the way you do, seek help from H.S. That is His function. Give any feeling and thoughts to Him. Remember that it is impossible He would fail in His purpose.

You do not really want to keep illusions. Your insanity will be undone. You do not really want a world of isolation, pain and regret. You do not want a world of fear, attack and guilt. Your hidden belief is that you are not deserving of a happy world; a happy outcome to what you perceive in front of you. The steps you take in releasing blame and attack on your brother, is how you learn that you are sinless. The hidden belief in sin weighs heavy in your dream. You find you either struggle through the day, or you deny your thoughts. When you release a brother from fault, you are releasing your self as well. As you release, so you accept complete forgiveness for yourself. This is your task—your purpose in your dream.

Give every thought of blame to H.S.
Give every feeling of loss to H.S.
Accept His help, His love.
This is all you need “do.”
