“My salvation comes from me.”
What does this mean to me?
This brings to mind all the plans I thought would give me salvation. Such as: being the ‘good’ child; getting away from home; becoming an artist; having an exclusive relationship; having sexual intercourse; being with the special teacher; being different from others; being independent. All my ‘plans’ have brought me nothing. The latest plan has been to be able to move about without restriction. All these sources have been concerned with the body, yet the body is only a learning device. The source of salvation is in my mind—that is where God put it. the source of guilt is in my mind, never in the outside world where the ego insists it is.
Within the idea, my salvation comes from me, is the acceptance that guilt is only in my mind and forgiveness is there too. Holy Spirit is in my mind to show me what is true and what is illusion. My release from guilt is in accepting and forgiving the self made illusions. When I look with H. Spirit I can drop my idols and false perceptions of my self. I look at the images with H. Spirit, and am willing to give those thoughts to Him. He assures me that what I am letting go of, was never real and was never part of me. When I am willing, I feel the worries and fears leave my mind replaced with the Love that was always there. And I am thankful that I have such a Teacher with me always.
