Definition

The recognition that only what is real and true has any existence, achieved through forgiveness that dissolves the belief in separation and guilt. It is the undoing of the world the ego made and the restoration of peace through corrected perception.

Arc in Brief

Salvation is the mind’s return to peace through the Holy Spirit’s reinterpretation, a shared release from the belief in separation rather than a private rescue in the world.
