Today we will continue with the theme of happiness.This is a key idea in understanding what salvation means.You still believe it asks for suffering as penance for your â??sins.â??This is not so.Yet you must think it so while you believe that sin is real, and that Godâ??s Son can sin. If sin is real then punishment is just, and cannot be escaped. Salvation thus cannot be purchased but through suffering. If sin is real then happiness must be illusion, for they cannot both be true. The sinful warrant only death and pain, and it is this they ask for, for they know it waits for them and it will seek them out and find them somewhere, sometime, in some form which evens the account they owe to God.They would escape Him in their fear. And yet He will pursue, and they can not escape. If sin is real salvation must be pain. Pain is the cost of sin, and suffering can never be escaped if sin is real. Salvation must be feared, for it will kill, but slowly, taking everything away before it grants the welcome boon of death to victims who are little more than bones before salvation is appeased. Its wrath is boundless, merciless, but wholly just. Who would seek out such savage punishment? Who would not flee salvation, and attempt in every way he can to drown the Voice Which offers it to him? Why would he try to listen, and accept Its offering? If sin is real its offering is death, and meted out in cruel form to match the vicious wishes in which sin is born. If sin is real salvation has become your bitter enemy, the curse of God upon you who have crucified His Son. You need the practice periods today.The exercises teach sin is not real, and all that you believe must come from sin will never happen, for it has no cause. Accept atonement with an open mind, which cherishes no lingering belief that you have made a devil of Godâ??s Son. There is no sin.We practice with this thought as often as we can today, because it is the basis for todayâ??s idea. Godâ??s Will for you is perfect happiness because there is no sin, and suffering is causeless.
