     Salvation is shared and enjoyed when gifts are freely                                                                     
offered   and   accepted   ---    without    computations,         
calculations,   planning  of systematic procedures   which              
characterize technocratic ways of being in control.      
                                                                                                                               
     Salvation is not achieved,  shared or enjoyed through                                
the    imposition   of   shame,    guilt,     punishments,                                                                     
excommunications  upon  people  judged  and  condemned  by                                                                
anybody, anywhere or anytime.               
                                                                                                                               
     Salvation is not achieved through the accumulation of                                
points of righteousness earned in any way;   e.g., through      
acts of shaming,  guilting,  judging,  condemnation and/or                                                                     
punishments entailing excommunications and/or alienations.                                        
                                                                                                                               
     And  he  called the little children unto him and said                                                                     
that  inasmuch as anybody has done anything unto  them  or               
unto  others  that are least in the Kingdom,  it has  been                                                               
done unto him.                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                               
     And he asked, who has set you up as lord over others,                                                               
to  pass judgements,   issue  condemnations  and  engender                                                                     
excommunications?                                                                
                                                                                                                               
     And he said,  you shall be my disciples in the manner                                                                     
in which I have served you,  as servants.   The least  and                                                                     
most humble among you shall be recognized as the greatest,                                                                     
and  the most arrogant who are preoccupied with issues  of                                                                     
control shall be regarded as the least among you.                                 
                                                                                                                               
     Inasmuch as you have done it to the least of these my                                                                     
brethren, you have done it unto me.                                                                                            
                                                                                                                               
     Earnestly seek to see yourself as you are seen by the                                                      
most  humble servants among you ---  who are the  greatest                                                                     
among you.  Become familiar with them ---  through earnest                                
listening and open and honest dialogue --- within intimate                     
relationships  wherein  true  security  is  known  as  the                   
freedom to be safely vulnerable.                                                                                               
                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
