Can we be enlightened without being saved?

May 062008

INQUIRER: It is such a cruelty that a third of the stars
in heaven cannot be saved after having fallen. Can't the
God of all Power, Might and Mercy not do anything with
which to save them?

VISIONARY: My son, at times it is not that there are
no right answers, but that we ask not the right questions.
Would you rather not have asked whether such stars desire
to be lifted up and saved?

INQUIRER: But why shouldn't they desire to? Don't they
know the wrath of the One with whom they can never win?

VISIONARY: It is for the fact that they are fully aware
that they could no longer change their decision. Everything
they now know, they have known from the very beginning.
What they have decided, they have already decided for all
eternity.

INQUIRER: And what of earthlings? Why must these fallen stars
desire them to be fully aware as themselves? Do they desire
for them to be saved thru enlightenment?

VISIONARY: Enlightenment and salvation are two different matters.
Let him beware who desires to be enlightened for full awareness
grapples him on a road of no return. Once there, time ceases
and decisions halt to a final destination. He can no longer
tread the path of perfection he has once desired to walk upon.
Once the veil had been lifted up, it is the heart that makes
the choice. And when the seed of PRIDE has already made its
way unto the seat of his soul, what could make him approach
the throne of the most Divine Mercy? What could make him
exchange the glory of his own beauty for the suffering of the cross?

Agnes { Dear Joyce, Hi! I have been an avid reader of your blog about a year an a half ago when I too have been experiencing heartbreak and burden in my life. Your words have really been a pat on my shoulder and a hug rolled in one. I am now in a year long relationship and life has been treating me well. It is not a perfect relationship, we do have our shares of ups and downs but we come out of each as a better individual and we grow and learn together through those past mistakes. I just... } – Feb 05, 3:53 PM

Tanya { Dear Joyce, I don't have a husband who physically abuses me but i have one who does so verbally and emotionally. He doesn't care whether we be in public places like malls, offices etc he just feels he needs to, in his own terms, "vent out his spleen". He had called me many things and often times says that i am stupid. He said i needed to reform, and that the only way was "his way". for the past year i have been doing all he asks of me, i am not allowed to talk to my friends, neither am... } – Jan 24, 9:16 AM
