<center>'''Introduction to Lessons 231 - 240'''</center>
[[Salvation]] is a [[promise]], made by [[God]], that you would find your way to Him
at last. It cannot but be kept. It guarantees that [[time]] will have an end, and all
the [[thoughts]] that have been born in time will end as well. God's Word is
given every [[mind]] which thinks that it has separate thoughts, and will
replace these thoughts of [[conflict]] with the Thought of [[peace]].
The Thought of peace was given to God's Son the instant that his mind had
thought of [[war]]. There was no need for such a Thought before, for peace was
given without [[opposite]], and merely was. But when the mind is split there is
a need of [[healing]]. So the Thought that has the power to heal the split
became a part of every [[fragment]] of the mind that still was one, but failed to
recognize its [[oneness]]. Now it did not know itself, and thought its own
[[Identity]] was lost.
Salvation is undoing in the sense that it does nothing, failing to [[support]] the
world of [[dreams]] and [[malice]]. Thus it lets [[illusions]] go. By not supporting
them, it merely lets them [[quietly]] go down to [[dust]]. And what they hid is now
[[revealed]]; an [[altar]] to the [[holy]] Name of God whereon His Word is written,
with the gifts of your [[forgiveness]] laid before it, and the [[memory]] of God not
far behind.
Let us come daily to this holy place, and spend a while [[together]]. Here we
[[share]] our final [[dream]]. It is a dream in which there is no [[sorrow]], for it holds
a hint of all the [[glory]] given us by God. The grass is pushing through the
[[soil]], the trees are budding now, and birds have come to live within their
branches. [[Earth]] is being [[born again]] in new [[perspective]]. Night has gone, and
we have come together in the [[light]].
From here we give [[salvation]] to the world, for it is here salvation was
[[received]]. The [[song]] of our rejoicing is the call to all the world that [[freedom]]
is returned, that time is almost over, and God's Son has but an instant more
to wait until his Father is remembered, dreams are done, [[eternity]] has shined
away the world, and only [[Heaven]] now exists at all.
