Graduation Time

'Okay class; it's that time.'

'Which is an illusion.'

'Very good.  But you're getting ahead of this last lesson a bit.  So: The last class before graduation!'

(All:) 'Yay!'

'I'm glad that you're all so eager.  It has not always been thus.  But, you have been seasoned well.

'So. What have we learned so far.  Anybody.'

'That life as we know it - have, known it, so far - is a projection.'

'Good…'

'And so it is in its essence unreal.  A phantasmagorism.  Phantasmagorical.  More than just ephemeral.'

'Good.  And why is it essentially unreal?'

'Because nothing but pure undifferentiated Source is real.'

'Good.  Go on.  Anybody?'

'And so, all of Creation, by definition, is unreal?'

'Yes…'

'And so, things can appear and disappear in it at will?' 

'At the will of…'

'Of any soul that has figured it out.'

'Figured it out.  As in…'

'Having the awareness?'

'Good.  As in……come on. You can all get it, by now.'

'As in the degree of awakening.'

'Good!  Excellent.  Because it is all a matter of…'

'Frequency?'

'Ah!  But why is there a question about it in your mind?'

'Because I'm not precisely sure of the difference between 'frequency' and 'vibration'.  Vibratory rate.' 

'Ah.  So.  Anybody?…Come on.  You can get it.  I know you can.  Because…  

'It has already happened?'  

'Close…'

''Because it has already happened.  No question.'

'Good!  Now, back to the original question.  The difference between 'frequency' and 'vibration-stroke-vibratory rate'?    

'Frequency has to do with the number of cycles per second.  Vibration is a term for the process.'

'But as in vibratory rate?  Anybody?'

'Same thing.'

'Okay!  Good.  We're almost there!'

'Finished at this level!'

'Yes!  Good.  Very good.  Because…because……why did I emphasize that word. That quality……'

' - Because everything is Good!'

'Yes!  And all is now Go!  And here we:

(Altogether:) 'Go!'

'To:'

(Altogether:) 'The next level!'

'Of….'

(Altogether:) 'Reality!'

'And then on.  And on.  To…'

(Altogether:) 'Unity!'

'Good!  And then…to……to………'

(One:) 'The Unknown!'

'The Unknowable!  Yes!  So!  One consciousness-level step at a time.  And you are ready for…'

(Altogether; joyously:) 'The next step!'

'Yes!  Except for those who still believe in…' 

(Altogether:) 'The illusion!'

'Mistaking it for…'

(Altogether:) 'The real thing!'

'Because nothing you can see, hear, smell, taste, or feel, is…'

(Altogether; more soberly:) 'The real thing.'

(Proudly:) 'Souls.  Family.  You have passed this test, on this level, out of this level.  Well done.  

'Now.  Throw your make-believe mortar-board hats, as a symbol of having learned to manipulate make-believe matter, in the make-believe air, and 

'Let's go!'     

(Altogether; celebratory:) 'Hurrah for Us!  Hurrah for The One, in Which We Live and Move and Have our Being!'

And so say all of us.

Well.  Almost all.

But give them time.

Which, of course; as they will come to know:

Is an illusion.

Is a part of 

the Illusion.  

The classroom.

In many ways:

A prison.

Keeping its students.  And habitués.  From

the real thing.

                            Until

they

are

ready

to graduate.
