The Chemistry of Salvation

I want to describe the pan of salvation as a process, not so much a map or a timeline, but a process. Instead of a line with a lot of circles, lines, and symbolic astronomy, 

what if we looked at the Plan of Salvation as a blueprint? Like a blueprint to a highly tuned machine. Imagine in your minds' eye that you could cut a car in half and see how it worked inside; or perhaps the interments used in chemistry would be a better example (with all the vials and tubes and camp stoves and all that dandy equipment.) 

The premortal life wouldn't be a big circle on the left hand side of the page, it would be a milk jug. A large jug with the branding label ripped off. Inside would be a clear, viscous liquid containing thousands of little particles which would be poured into the first reaction chamber. There it would bubble and brim before approximately a third of it would be burned. That third, the dross, would be scraped off the surface and transported to a fuel injection tube, which we will talk about later.

Next the soul-serum would travel along the glass tubes into a large fishbowl like container. There, more chemicals reactions would happen, acting as a catalyst. The particles would be scorched, frozen, split, and blended producing unique effects through the mixture. The fuel infection tube would provide a lot of stress upon the scrum also producing refining effects, for, the purpose of this large bowl was to refine the good particles and to separate the bad. 

The good particles are heated and they rise from the large globe in the form of a golden mist, and it travels up through a maze of tubes ending in storage container. Whereas the bad mixture turns to sludge and is added to a different compartment below the gaseous one. Ultimately both place are waiting for the process to be complete.

Once all the combustion within the The large orb is concluded, the mist is released from its container and it enters back into the fishbowl. There it grows and is allowed to sit (just as an active culture in sourdough bread) and it cools for a thousand years while the fuel injector is turned off.

Then the sludge is allowed once again to bubble its way back into the orb, producing serious combustion with the gas. That combined with the fuel injector produces very violent reactions. Some of the gas turns to sludge and some of the sludge turns to gas before a third valve opens and allows everything to twirl into the seperation chamber. As the gas and sludge separate, the gas rises to the top and the slimy sludge oozes to the bottom. However, there are degrees to which the molecules separate: there also appeared a watery substance that was less dense as the ooze but didn't posses the same properties as the gas. 

From that separation point, the sludge is poorer out into a vial marked "Telestial." The water is poured into a vial marked "Terrestial" and the gas, instead of being put into a container is refined one more time. It is refined again producing an ultra triple filtered gas from amidst the common gas. The common gas is then released into a vial and the 99.9% pure gas is placed in a vial next to the common gas. Both are marked "Celestial Kingdom", but one has the sub caption "highest degree"

The plan of salvation has managed to do a number of things. Overall it acted both as a filtration system and as a refinement system. The man working the machine had to figure out what particles were going to become which substance. Within each particle there existed unique and different substances that had to be brought to the surface so that the scientist could discover what innate traits each particle had. The scientist had ran this experiment many times before so he knew what particles were going to be gas or sludge, but he had to put the whole serum into the system because he knew that the particles had to go through this process to reach their full potential. 

In the end, the Scientist did not just throw away the sludge! He definitely threw away the Dross (It was caustic and deadly to everything it touched) but the sludge was still useful. It still had a purpose! The water also had a purpose. Both were valuable.

Ultimately, the common gas was especially valuable and very exquisite, but the pure golden haze was what the scientist was after. This was the Ambrosia he was looking for! This was the elixir of Life. It was a substance that could create worlds. It was the breath of the gods. The very fabric of the universe itself.

I like this analogy. It adds interesting insight to the plan of salvation. We as the offspring of God are meant to be tested in this life to see what we are made of. Are we going to be obedient and prove our true natures? Or are we going to slink away from our duties and nobility? Right now we are experiencing the reaction chamber, we are all tested and refined, and we must choose to allow these to bring out the best in us. We must choose not to let them make us bitter and rancorous. We choose what we are going to become! The reaction chamber (Earth Life) is meant to determine one thing: Are we willing to repent and become all that God hopes we will become?
