     Salvation is an ongoing communal process which       
       entails ALL of the following characteristics:      
                                                          
     1.  ONGOING --- because whenever it is regarded as   
           achieved, completed, finished, done, etc. ---  
             arrogance, self-righteousness, and pride     
               set in and undermine what is presumed to   
                 have been completed.                     
                                                          
     2.  COMMUNAL --- because whenever any person or group
           presumes to have unilaterally made/controlled  
             it:  arrogance, self-righteousness, and pride
               set in and undermine civility, civics and  
                 any civilization which may have been     
                   unilaterally created.                  
                                                          
     3.  PROCESS --- because any stoppage, inhibition, or 
           freezing of: change, growth, dialogue, and/or  
             evolution --- leads to tragic deaths, decay, 
               and dis-integration of all integrative     
                 processes which merit respect, honor     
                   and support.                           
                                                          
     4.  BALANCE --- because in the absence of balance    
           there is: coercion, violence, alienation,      
             estrangement, domination, resentment, anger, 
               revenge, and counter-revenge as in ---     
                 Palestine, Ireland, Kashmir, Africa,     
                   Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Pakistan,       
                     Afghanistan, Russia, China, etc.     
                                                          
     5.  COOPERATION --- because the absence of           
           cooperation is highly correlated with the      
             absence of: BALANCE, CIVILITY, and ONGOING   
               PROCESSES.                                 
                                                          
     6.  CIVILITY --- because the absence of CIVILITY     
           leads to the absence of: COOPERATION, BALANCE, 
             MUTUALITY, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWLEDGE, and     
               DIALOGUE --- which are essential           
                 foundations for personal and communal    
                   integrities.                           
                                                          
     7.  LEARNING from EXPERIENCES --- because in the     
           absence of such learning: domineering people   
             concentrate powers in corrupting and         
               disintegrative ways which cannot be        
                 understood, subverted or undermined      
                   without LEARNING from EXPERIENCES.     
                                                          
     Domineering people often feel that it is essential   
       to insure that good: laws, commandments and rituals
         are respected, honored and followed with great   
           care and dedication --- for in the absence of  
             such respect, honor, and conformity --- all  
               hell will break loose and destroy all that 
                 is good.  They regard themselves as      
                   called by God Himself --- to make sure 
                     that such disrespect, dishonor and   
                       non-conformity does not occur.  The
                         dilemma is that in the process of
                           unilaterally making sure that  
                             all hell does not break lose,
                               they create the hell of the
                                 absence of all that is in
                                   truth essential to our 
                                     salvation which is an
                                       ongoing communal   
                                         process --- which
                                           entails ALL of 
                                             the above    
                                               good       
                                                aspects   
                                                  of God's
                                                    Love. 
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
