Also,

Salvation as a matter of location…not as being "saved from", but as "saved TO" something.

could Saved=Moved?

Moved from one place, locale, state of being to another?

How do we articulate that location change, if the concept of location change is the verbal marker we want to use.

This and your previous post are consistent with the view of God fostered by the French Jesuit Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, whose writings have helped reconnect me to a sense of faith and belief. Seeing God as the force behind evolution, he also depicted Christ as the "animator" in addition to redeemer.

I think the church often paints itself into a corner by relying too much on the Bible and not enough on experience and observation. Limiting our knowledge of faith to writings that don’t reflect a current understanding of the cosmos (including us in that cosmos) restricts our abilties to reimaging and extend our view of God, creation, Christ, etc. The cosmos has become a source of "progressive revelation". We still have to decide whether our faith is in something or nothing, and I think the odds are with something.
