Claim. Restoration through indemnity exists to re-open the original free environment in which the portion of responsibility can be fulfilled — its purpose is liberation from Satanic accusation, not punishment.
Elaboration. SMM defines indemnity functionally rather than penally: “Restoration through indemnity exists to create a realm where you are free from having to fulfill the portion of responsibility. It exists to restore the original environment where you are free from having to fulfill your portion of responsibility” (3.1. Freedom from the portion of responsibility in relation to restoration, 148-199, 1986.10.9). The mechanism is creating a Satan-proof environment: “Restoration through indemnity cannot be avoided. Why do we have to go the course of restoration through indemnity? Why do we need to separate from Satan? It is because we need to fulfill the original portion of responsibility and build the foundation for a free environment. Then, Satan cannot accuse us and we will come to stand upon a base where Satan cannot have any relationship with us” (ibid, 148-204, 1986.10.9). indemnity is therefore environmental engineering, not retributive punishment.
