-----------------
What is Salvation?Salvation is a cosmic process in which all spirit creatures evolve into realization of their full potential. This path is a long one (speaking in the human construct of time relevant to this planet) and it is called Yoga or Theosis. St. Origen (b 180AD) puts it in words such as these, "In the end everyone will become in perfection and enter into heaven's gate - probably the last one in will be the devil himself" (paraphrased). What is Faith?Faith is a verb, it is a state of mind which causes action based on (gnosis) knowledge. This knowledge is something we hold to, probably as an axiom, an unreasonable fact that we just know. It is because of our faith in the oneness of essence of all creatures that we greet one another with a Namaste. Faith is never a static condition of mind; it becomes itself only when lived, when it is dynamic.
