Human beings are unique in this world for being capable of sin. There is God; and there is not-God, which the developing universe is gradually overcoming, as light gradually overcomes darkness. But not-God exists as egotistical desire and selfish motivation only in the mind of mankind. It is evident in our harmful behavior toward ourselves, one another, and our environment. We have “instincts gone awry,” creating unnatural desires and driving us by a perverse power to choose to ignore or even to thwart the working out of God, the natural order. Salvation is the state of being in which all of our thought, decisions and actions are in tune with the Universal Truth.
