Salvation is a reminder that the world is not your home. Your home is "Heaven", from whence you have come "down to earth", so-to-speak...to which you will return. Nothing about the earth is true. It's laws are not imposed on you, its values are not yours. And nothing that you think you see in it is really there at all. This is seen and understood as each one takes his part in its undoing, as he did in making it.
The world is a kind of group-making, made to replace Home, made immutable as Heaven, to replace Reality with it's own. The group decieves itself by the appearance of many. The many dissociate the One, not thinking about it, as if it is not true.
Salvation simply reminds you that either God is mad, or this world is a place of madness. Not one thought of our Father's makes any sense at all within this world. And nothing that the world believes is true has any meaning in our Father's mind at all. What makes no sense and has no meaning is insanity, and what is mad cannot be the truth. If one belief so deeply valued here were true, then every thought God ever had is an illusion. Conversly, if even one thought of God is true, then all beliefs the world gives any meaning to are false, and make no sense at all. This is the simple choice you make for salvation. This is the only decision you can make. The rest is up to God.
To justify one value that the world upholds is to deny our Father's sanity and yours. In reality, you and our Father do not think differently. And it is the agreement of thought between Father and Son that makes the Son a co-creator with the Mind Whose thought created him. So if the Son [you] chooses to believe one thought opposed to truth, he has decided he is not his Father's Son, being mad instead. The world you see is all the evidence you need to prove that you believe the Son is mad. Does it not make what I say sound like madness?
Who thinks the world is sane in any way, or that it is justified in anything it thinks, or is maintained by any form of reason...he thinks the Son of God is mad. For example, the whole belief that someone loses...that anyone can lose...reflects the underlying tenet God must be insane. In this world it seems that one must gain because another lost. If this were true, God would be mad indeed! If this sounds crazy, if I sound insane to you, simply understand that either I am insane or this concept is insane, but hardly both.
Salvation is the rebirth of the idea no one can lose for anyone to gain. And everyone must gain, if anyone would be a gainer. Only in this way is sanity restored. Place all your faith in this bedrock statement of truth. For only then will you ever come to trust that God is sane and worthy of the kind of confidence that can bring peace to your mind. All insane beliefs can be corrected if you simply hold the truth of this statement up to everything you think you believe...everything the world would *prove* to you is true.
Apply this to the criminal justice system of the world, and you will see that it is mad. This statement has universal transfer value.
