If the ego is an illusion and guilt is a self-imposed construct, then observing it without judgment allows the mind to see through its own deception. In that sense, salvation isn’t about atonement but about realizing there was never anything to atone for in the first place, just a mistaken belief in separation.

a most astute observation, a brilliant mind! you speak the truth. the separation has (really) not occurred, only our mistaken belief it did. we only need to undo the blocks to the awareness of our reality to return to it.
its almost cliche, but its in the word
at-one-ment
no me, no you
just one awareness permeating the ten thousand things.
