Salvation Cafe held much symbolism; as the word salvation repeatedly showed itself throughout Newport. The sign was written in flames… My soul walk through the fire had been my salvation. Often times, the challenges are dismissed for the new life they bring. Life knows what we most need and long for.
Inside was an eclectic display of of odds and ends… once again reminding me we are all misfits in this world… simply because genius is not designed to be in a box. And, we each have a genius. The flames of salvation and fire of understanding assist in salvaging the essence resting within.
Salvation is the state of being saved or protected from harm or a dire situation.
Depending on the religion or even denomination, salvation is considered to be caused either only by the grace of God (i.e. unmerited and unearned), or by faith, good deeds (works), or a combination thereof.
Some do not subscribe to the doctrine of original sin. Instead, they place a high value on individual morality as defined in the law of God.
In certain , salvation is closely related to the idea of redemption, a saving from the states or circumstances that destroy the value of human existence.
Salvation cannot be obtained through anyone else or by just invoking a deity or believing in any outside power or influence.
Human Grace must be given to self; that opens the way to receiving Divine grace. After all, sin is merely ‘self-inflicted nonsense’. The mind is adept at creating that in all manner of subtle and large ways.
In salvaging ones Essence from ‘self inflicted nonsense’… Grace enters.
Live in a state of Grace. Love from a state of Grace. Behold all of life as an act of Grace. Wishing you all good things and great love.
I am Simran — Example… Human… Compassionate Presence… Love.
And… You are too.
Living…
Being…
