There are far more articles on his site to read if you enjoy this 2 parter. I enjoy his creativity so I thought I'd share.

I am thinking about opening the Redeemer's Club as an inter-dimensional travel club for scallywags and misfits. I think you might like it; it's a dedicated caper like no other. “Travel to places where almost no one has ever been before.” That's what the brochure says anyway.
Redemption is not the way you imagine, for you have probably been told redemption is to do with sin, but that was a trick to make sure you never got away. No one can forgive you of your sins, they are eternal. If you pick up a cup of tea and you move it four inches to the left that is eternal as well. No action or thought or feeling can ever be rubbed out; everything is perpetual.
You have to eventually win your own forgiveness. Only you can redeem yourself but to do that you have to be able to see . Humans are born blind; they can't see thoughts and feelings and energy moving. If you could see peoples' thoughts you'd know the truth of them, you'd know their karma, their fate, you'd be able to manipulate them away from evil toward goodness.
You are not allowed to do that. Partly because you haven't done it for yourself and partly because each has been offered free will. If you are a savvy ol' bird that has been a long time on the etheric duck pond of life, you'll know that free will is for amateurs. It's how the ego pretends it knows what it's doing. Land of the free (will) is actually land of the flea. There are transdimensional demonic influences all over this planet that can see thoughts and feelings perfectly well and they that can tow your free will around by the nose.
Free will is the instance of your logic; it's the way it lurches towards impulses it thinks will make you happy. Keeping the ego happy is a waste of time, it will never thank you and it will always want more. You need to understand the language of the inner worlds and then you'll be confident enough to toss free will out of the window and figure what is really best for you. If you have an acute intuition then you are headed the right way. If you look carefully you'll see how free will brought you pain and disease and it took you to the intersection in time to hit the school bus. Disaster was how your Higher Self tried to prompt you.
“School bus—school—lessons in avoiding free will. Pay attention every one!”
Life is perpetually talking to you; people are also in silently communication all the time; you can learn to read them, meanwhile, ninety-nine percent of what is happening at any given time is hidden. Free will is betting your life's saving on a horse race in which almost all the information about the horses, their form, and the jockeys, is denied to you. You don't need free will, trust me Bubba, we all have the scars to prove it.
Redemption is winning the right to see. It's winning the right to avoid any more pain, any more bad karma. You only have to be able to see a little bit to comprehend what is futile and what is not. Redemption is finding the hidden door and walking through it. If you use the term redemption in the sense of liberation that is possible, for you can show people how to liberate themselves, especially if you can see a bit. It is a wonderful gift if you can offer that. Redemption as a synonym for absolution is not feasible, no one can absolve you, and you can't absolve others. You will have to absolve yourself eventually.
More about absolution in later articles in the Redemption Songs series.
