'Salvation' or 'Redemption?' 

****caution: controversial subject matter.

Letter to the Beloved

When it comes to losing friends, and family, there is no knowledge or solution in this world that does not have to do with faith and belief. What a lot of thinking folks do not take into consideration is that the loudmouthed out-front 'representatives' of the contemporary Church are representatives of the most cowardly, spiritually ignorant, and morally weak human beings on the face of the earth. Thinking people often confuse this obvious stupidity, and vehement denial of reality with what some few faithful folks refer to as their 'religion.' Thinking folks often confuse the faith and solidarity of some few who have studied their scriptures, who have made informed decisions based on researched knowledge and personal experience, with the mass of lemming-like church-goers who over all contribute nothing to the advancement of the human race.

Having said all that, I must tell you a short story.

Once upon a time when I still felt like most of my life was before me, I had an occasion to partake of some psychedelic sacrament in the form of psilicybin, way out in the middle of the southern Arizona desert. The shrooms turned out to be bad news. I had an incredible internal vision of some kind of many tenacled thing, like a hydra having inserted it's tendrils into my brain, sucking out my vital thought processes and replacing them with many colors. It was a bad trade and I sought for some kind of relief. I prayed hard (I have to insert here that I have always had a relationship with the MOST HIGH CREATOR, but the thing about 'Jesus' eluded my understanding..up to this point at which I am getting to) A friend came on my bus where I was languishing in psychic confusion, and guttural discomfort, and suggested (after I related my current situation) that I attempt to 'swing' the 'vibe' in the right direction by ingesting some known-to-be-pure LSD. That I did. Truth is, it did help me to sort of 'get on top' of the problem, but it in itself was not a solution. So I decided to look in my own library of various scriptures for some helpful hints. The book I chose to dive into is called "The Keys Of Enoch" a rare text of our own generation about issues which only our generation, and those who come after could have any clues about. Anyway, using the 'oracle' technique of randomly opening the book to see what chance may reveal, I opened on a chapter which is "I know my redeemer liveth." That, for me was all I needed. For some reason which is all my own, and impossible to explain, that phrase being read by me at that moment clarified an essential part of what YSHWH is really all about, and that is where I really began my apostleship of his teachings. I didn't even need to read any further, that many tenacled thing in my brain was forever disallowed from that place, and I began to understand what "salvation" really means.

Some of us are here on a mission to promote truth and love because ultimately, all logic, and reason leads the thinker to conclude that that really is the only choice, no matter what hierarchy or pantheon of godly beings may or may not exist in the universe. The marvelous ness of YSHWH's simple parables in understanding that mission, and ultimate action which must be installed, activated, and rendered incorruptible in the patterns of Human behavior, and thinking, is a wonder at which I yet marvel.

The irony, and tragedy of the situation, is that there is absolutely nothing of any note or worth, other than support of fascism, war, destruction, pain, suffering, and death existent within  the Christian Church. Nor, if one studies the available records and histories on the subject, was there ever, not since the actual founding of the "Christian" church, which contrary to blind ignorance was not the church founded, and promoted by the actual apostles, and disciples of YSHWH. That church was all but destroyed by the grandfathers of the very same rich bastards that became the Roman Catholic Church.

The church teaches fear, guilt, Hell, and damnation. It condemns, judges, feels qualified to both punish and absolve. It offers salvation on the conditions supplied by it, and justifies it's position by taking words out of text and meaning in a constant flux of non-relative blather. It offers the ignorant a chance to be part of the mob mentality, which is mistakenly labeled as 'brother and sisterhoods.' 'congregations,' and/or any other attempts to create the illusion of spirituality. That mob force is evident today, as the blatant criminals which are bringing about Armageddon at such a high profit to themselves, delight in proclaiming themselves "Christian." The modern governments have successfully used them as a power base to launch their scheme into the world.

Fortunately for us simple humans just trying to love and be loved, it is more "Redemption" in definition of terms, than "Salvation." It is true that some few of us are aware that we are on a 'salvage' mission, and there is much to be saved, but souls, and persons are not the purvue of us here now. Saving ones self means (in current definition) that that self has been rendered into some kind of state which needs to be 'rescued' or 'rebuilt' or taken to a safe place to prevent further damage. 'Redemption' on the other hand is significantly different, in that the implication is that we already have a backup safely kept for us. That no matter how bad we may mess up, that which will redeem us, refresh us, remake us, lives, and is alive within us always.

And in the whole intended Truth of "Unconditional Love" it is redemption with only one condition, and that is love itself. Love is our redemption, and it is alive. All that was ever alive within it is alive still, and one time beyond our worldly tour all shall live again for all eternity.
