Salvation
by
Alan Schneider
Almost every spiritual tradition
holds forth a promise of salvation for the consciousness of the believer,
customarily with the proviso that exemplary behavior is practiced as the
condition of its attainment.
The author's life experience - in particular through meditation - tends to
suggest that the attainment of Salvation is
dependent at least on morally upright living, self-restraint, material
detachment, and compassion. These are all Soul traits, and are treated at
length in the More Soul essay in this section, along with several other
Soul traits as well. The Soul is the undeniable gateway to Salvation, and
its level of spiritual development is paramount.
In essence, all the Soul traits have in common a focus on a Light
Centered life and consciousness, and I believe that this is the
key to Salvation, both in this continuum of experience and what lies beyond
it. The ongoing practice of seeking and maintaining positively of perception
at all times in life, no matter what the circumstances, is absolutely
critical!
If my experiences of the Divine Light and Love are reliable indicators of
the nature of God, then He is most certainly a Being composed of both
conditions, hence the stress I am placing on positivity and enlightenment
here. I believe that leading a life of Light Centered, loving,
positivity will do as much as is humanly possible to fix consciousness in
the
orientation most well disposed to permit the Ascension of the Soul at death
- rendering it free from earthly constraints and foci that otherwise will
tend to hold it on the Material Plane of consciousness. In a word, to seek
the Light, Be the Light, here and now on Earth - thereby, the Soul is
rendered as radiant as possible, and prepared to rejoin God in His infinite
field of Love and Light!

- Salvation Addendum -
As the
Planetary Unfoldment continues, more and more
information will proliferate, especially in regards to Dark Agendas
and Political Change. Each "side" of the argument will offer
"evidence to dispute its opponents and set forth a clear agenda.
The mind begins to spin as it tries to take everything in. If a
person is mind-heavy, he (or she) can literally be consumed by it,
tilting at windmills and crying wolf to the extent that many people
stop listening altogether. If a person is emotion-heavy, the
collective angst of the world can easily flatten one, leaving no room
for faith or action at all.
There is a THIRD Orientation, a Heart-Centered Approach.
One "Chamber" of the Global Heart must own that there are factions
within us which have been assigned the task of trying to sustain
control as Planetary Vibrations rise, in a NEED to be "in
charge."
On the flip side, there are more hands trying to seize the reins of
society than Organized Government alone.
There are Chaotic Forces at work too, who are determined to blow up
anything which implies "organization or structure." The Chaotian
Manifesto states: "All structure is bad. Structure requires
leadership, leadership bestows power, and power always corrupts."
Chaosians are aware of this, and see it everywhere they look. In
order to combat this, Chaosians cut to the chase and go right for the
corruption. Their plan is to blow up the "system." That way, NO ONE
is in "charge." If there is no organization, there is nothing left
to corrupt. If you ain't got nothing, you've got nothing to lose.
Chaosians see anarchy as a viable way to approach life. Not all of
them are brutal or violent in how they see anarchy playing out. In
other words, Anarchy doesn't necessarily mean a "Max Mad" kind of
world.
Underlying all of this, an unseen and unrecognized attitude (which
Freud described loosely as the Subconscious Death Urge) is present at
ALL LEVELS of human consciousness. On some level, we ALL recognizethat 3D is just a Game. Theosians (Creators and Maintainers of
Structure) and Chaosians share this in common. Where they differ is
in how they deal with it.
Another "Chamber" of the Heart acknowledges the pervasive sense of
despair which is encompassing our Collective Emotional Body, seeking
to enlist us into grieving, complaining, protesting, anxiety and/or
depression. Whether grief is caused by frustrated love, unattained
goals, personal or national crisis, or any number of other
disagreeable events.....these emotions tend to paralyze an individual from reaching beyond his physical senses to obtain insight on how to
live, even as Chaosians seek to destroy societal structure and
Theosians seek to dominate it. Despair seeks to break down an
individual's sense of identity, through hopelessness---thereby
negating personal sovereignty and creative power for living with any
measure of grace and ease.
Revolution Consciousness represents DESPAIR that has exploded and
gone on the offensive. It is Separationist in nature. Whether it is
organized or chaotic.......this approach assumes that "they" did this
to us, so "they" have to go.
Devolution Consciousness ("Aw, Fuck It") is DESPAIR that has imploded
and gone inward..... opting to run off into the hills (literally or
figuratively) and stick its head in the sand through addictions to
drugs, religion, work, exercise, family, possessions, sex, food,
alcohol, etc until the whole business goes ka-blooey or we die from
an overdose of the above, defecting from the 3D Game
altogether.
It is only through EVOLUTION of Consciousness (realization that there
is more to all this than meets the eye) that a Heart-Centered Approach
begins to intervene.
If only one "Chamber" of our Heart is open, leaving the others
blocked......evolution cannot occur. This is true whether a person's
focus is control, despair, or denial.
In order for Evolution to take place the WHOLE HEART must be
activated and energized. This is something that can only be affected
through intervention from OUTSIDE the Reality Box in which a person is
functioning. This is called a "Quickening"......which is a "wake-up
call" that sounds within a person's consciousness, signaling the END
of One Game, and the BEGINNING of another.
What Freud called the "Subconscious Death Urge" can also be seen as a
"Subconscious Transformation Instinct." Death = Transformation.
However, it can only be seen this way through the "eyes" of someone
with an OPEN HEART.
The way an OPEN HEART is achieved is through the realization that
EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE IS A REFLECTION OF SELF...........and there
are no hidden "enemies" left to enslave, control, sabotage, or
subvert our purpose for coming to 3D. And what is that purpose? It
is the Gathering of Experience.........all types of
experience........in accordance to a pre-set ITINERARY which was
designed and contracted by each Player before entering the Game.
There are obstacles and drama present in each life, but they are all
part of the plan. There are no mistakes, but there are MANY SURPRISES(!!!)........and that is also as it should be. There can also be
love, joy, peace, passion, and a host of other experiences. As has
been previously stated, no one sees "life" quite like you do. So the
OneSelf needs your individuated viewpoint to make our Collective
Experience complete.
Many people try to "straddle" the gap that exists between Separation
and Universal Oneness. They try to embrace the matter
philosophically, but they fail to really choose one or the other.
With every rise in Planetary Vibration, that gap gets wider. Sooner
or later, a person WILL choose: FEAR or RECONNECTION. The purpose
of this work, so far, has been to continually underscore the
realization that TWO options exist, and the Grand Game continues!
