 %DYNAMICS SPECIALIZE EXCLUSIVE DIFFERENCE IDENTIFY 910929

     There are many faces to exclusive specialization as a
mean  to salvation.   If God is a super-addict who  places
limits  upon   whom   He  will permit  to  come  into  His
house/heaven, then  it  is  essential to find the  formula
for   special acceptance  into the company of the few whom
He  will/can accept into His Special Home.

     To  an addict,  God must be a super-addict;  but with
real power  to  control  others.  Salvation must  then  be
the  process  of  the manipulation of God to  get  God  to
accept us as  one  of His Special Friends.   There must be
a  special technique  to achieve salvation.   It cannot be
a  technique which many people can master,   because  then
God  would  have to  accept  more than just a few  people.
The   problem   of  salvation   is  the  problem  of   the
discovery and mastery  of the special technique which will
achieve an exclusive kind of acceptance into an  exclusive
circle of God's friends.

     According to the logic of the addict,  salvation must
be a specialized procedure,   an exclusive one.   If it is
not  an exclusive  procedure  salvation cannot  be   worth
having. Salvation must reside in exclusivity,  because God
cannot  accept   very  many  people  into  His   exclusive
Heaven.   Salvation  must reside in relating to people  in
exclusive  ways;    in  the  proper  form  of  specialized
exclusivity.   The trick  is to find the key to acceptance
into  the exclusive set  of people to whom God  will  give
great power to be  in control.

     The  trick of salvation must involve rejecting  those
people who  do not qualify for salvation.   We do not want
to   be found  by  Good  keeping company with people   who
God  is likely to reject.  We must not associate with such
unworthy people,    lest  God  refuse  to  associate  with
us    as  unacceptable   sinners like them.    To  achieve
salvation  we must be exclusive in God's Way. The trick is
to  figure  out how  God is exclusive.   We  have  to  get
inside the Mind  of God  and  know  how  He  thinks,   and
so   to   be  able  to manipulate God's mind,  and so  get
into Heaven.

     Many  people  with  addictive  tendencies  specialize
in religious,   spiritual and related manipulations.  They
seek salvation as a technical achievement;  rather than in
open   and   honest  personal  relationships   which   are
inclusive and loving  in doing justice,   loving mercy and
walking humbly with God.
