You may not realize that the ego has set up a plan for salvation in opposition to Godâ??s. It is this plan in which you believe. Since it is the opposite of Godâ??s, you also believe that to accept Godâ??s plan in place of the egoâ??s is to be damned. This sounds preposterous, of course.Yet after we have considered just what the egoâ??s plan is, perhaps you will realize that, however preposterous it may be, you do believe it. The egoâ??s plan for salvation centers around holding grievances. It maintains that if someone else spoke or acted differently; if some external circumstance or event were changed, you would be saved. Thus the source of salvation is constantly perceived as outside yourself. Each grievance you hold is a declaration, and an assertion in which you believe,that says,â??If this were different,I would be saved.â?? The change of mind that is necessary for salvation is thus demanded of everyone and everything except yourself. The role assigned to your own mind in this plan, then, is simply to determine what other than itself must change if you are to be saved. According to this insane plan, any perceived source of salvation is acceptable, provided that it will not work. This ensures that the fruitless search will continue, for the illusion that although this hope has failed there is still grounds for hope in other places and in other things persists.Another person will yet serve better; another situation will yet offer success. Such is the egoâ??s plan for your salvation. Surely you can see how it is in strict accord with the egoâ??s basic doctrine,â??Seek but do not find?â?? For what could more surely guarantee that you will not find salvation than to channelize all your efforts in searching for it where it is not? Godâ??s plan for salvation works simply because, by following His direction, you seek for salvation where it is. But if you are to succeed, as God promises you will, you must be willing to seek there only. Otherwise your purpose is divided, and you will attempt to follow two plans for salvation which are diametrically opposed in all ways.
