The soul is an infinite feeling of self-worth. It is genuine salvation. One touch is enough to cure our unconscious illnesses and mend our brokenness. It is difficult to grasp this in the mind. In fact, the structures of the mind, beliefs, etc. are mostly impediments. The feeling of infinite self-worth is felt through the soul and it cannot be faked. Typically we settle for a false version of this and call it salvation. Confessing Jesus and doing good works doesn’t necessarily change how we feel about ourselves. False salvation is an unconscious attempt to compensate for not feeling good enough. Genuine salvation squashes any thought of unworthiness to non-existence and the desire to resolve our sinfulness is gone.
Accepting a false version of salvation leads to a lack of true self-esteem. This is common because it is easier to trust the authorities than it is to find out the truth for ourselves. This is not salvation. It is exasperation. True salvation comes from the feeling of value in our soul...
