Salvation (n.) is a long road through many gates, and the gates are symbols — each invisible at first, as if it had to be created.
Salvation (n.) delivers man less from his sins than from fear of the consequences — that is, from the fear of God.
Salvation (n.) will come through your own wounds: the lowest in you is crucified for the sake of your beauty and exposed to madness for the sake of your justice.
Salvation (n.) when new is always a restoring of the previously lost: Christ himself brought back human sacrifice and the eating of the sacrificed — but placed above it the highest law of love.
