The Lesson. Or Two.

‘Welcome back, Sir!  It’s been - ‘

‘A long time.  In your reckoning.  Yes, I understand.  But long enough to give you lot a chance to really screw things up.  As Hardy said: "A fine mess you've got us into again, Stanley."'

'Beg pardon?'

"Oh - sorry.  A little before your time, there.  This 'time' business is a lttle tricky, sometimes.  Anyway.  Just pointing out that you lot have gone and done it again.  Haven’t you.’

‘Sir?  I don’t - ‘

’Take The Debt of this country.  This special country.  Regardless of how some have attempted to portray it recently.  In order to set the stage for its takedown, and its merge into a totalitarian state for the whole planet.  Which is, actually - in ‘reality’ - the signal for my return.  And the Completion stage of The Process that has been going on.’

‘ - Sir??  The Completion…’

‘It has all been part of The Plan. Of course.  Not a sparrow falls, and all that.   But enough of that for now.  I just want to drill down into some of the details first.  

’So.  The Debt.  Some twenty trillion - TRILLION - of your dollars in debt.  How did you lot ever let it get that big?’

‘Well… - ‘

‘I’ll tell you how you did it.  Answer: It was easy.’

'Sir???’

‘Because you lot lost your way, on your own.  In the thicket of Matter.  Just like it was anticipated you would.  To teach you a lesson.

'...'

‘But as to this debt: I understand that you lot in this country had put in place a retirement plan for the nation.’

‘ - The Social Security system.  We call it.’

‘Yes.  That Ponzi scheme.’

‘Sir??’

‘I understand that it was set up as a Trust Fund.’

‘Yes, Sir.  That it is.’

‘You mean ‘was’.  A Trust Fund, as I understand the term, is a fund that is available when called upon, according to its regulations.’

‘Why, yes, Sir.  It is.’

‘You mean ’was’.  What happened to the monies in that Trust Fund.’

‘ - Why, that money is - well, …’

‘Running out. I understand.’

‘…Well, you see, Sir, - ‘

‘I see all too well.  You ate your seed money.  Didn’t you.’

‘Sir?’

‘You lot let your Congress administer the fund, as delegated to another body.  And instead of ‘administering’ it in a way to utilize it in your monetary system, by investing it in what you call blue chip stocks, they ‘administered’ it right into their operating budget.  And spent that money.  Didn’t they.  And you, through your representatives.’

‘…Well.  You see, Sir, - ‘

‘I ‘see,’ and saw, all too well.  You have assumed that later ’participants’ - under ‘legal’ duress, I understand - would pay into the Trust, and that would keep things rolling along.’

‘…Well. Sort of.  Like.  That.  Yes, Sir.  But - ‘

‘Sort of like that.  That means, like that.  Doesn’t it.’

‘…’

’So.  As I said.  A Ponzi scheme.  Now - as often happens in all such schemes - what happens if the number of people paying into the ‘scheme’ - a very fitting word, that, in this case - starts dropping, and can’t support those already in the scheme, and drawing down their promised income from it.’

‘…’

‘The scheme goes belly-up.’

‘ - But - ‘

‘But you can always increase the tax on the people paying into the scheme.  Right?’

‘ - Well, - ‘

‘A well is a hole in the ground  And you lot dug yourself a very big hole.  That you can’t get out of.  Without some sort of help.

' Well - I mean - ‘ 

‘I know precisely what you mean.  You mean that that is true.

‘And that goes into the whole subject of confusing means with ends, and your ‘scheme’ of money.’

‘…Sir??  I - ‘

‘You chose to live under a scheme of ‘money’ called interest-bearing money, and its partner in the con game, fractional-reserve banking.  How’s that scheme doing for ya now???’

‘…’

‘ I’ll tell you how.  It’s going belly-up.  Just like your so-called ‘Trust’ Fund, of your ‘Social Security’ system.  Because you people have confused means with ends.’    

’…’

‘’The same way that ‘sex’ has become an end in itself.  To say, as with money.  They are both, properly, simply a means to an end. You have confused means with ends.  To your detriment.’

‘But Sir - if you didn’t want us to confuse sex with an end in itself - why did you make it so - desirable?’

‘Good question.  Answer: To keep you procreating.  To keep the Play going.’

‘The - play??  I don’t - ‘

‘The pageantry. The Drama.  In order for you lot to learn lessons.  “The play’s the thing, in which to catch the conscience of” the individuals involved.  The incarnate souls involved.

‘You see, your Judeo-Christian ‘take’ on where you came from is simply a fable,  A metaphor.  There was an original hominid.  But not in the way that it has been portrayed in your ‘history’.  But all of this will become clear, when The Awakening takes place.  For now, I have to - ‘   

‘But wait - Sir - Where did we come from, then?’

‘Where you are going.’

‘Sir?’

‘“And know the place for the first time.”’

‘…Sir??’

‘One of your poets.  “We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”

‘And right now, you are - most of you are - going Up.

‘Ready.  Or not.

‘Because

‘it’s time.

‘And ‘Time waits for no man.’

‘As you should also have learned by now.

‘In the prison of Time.’

‘The - prison, of…???’

‘In effect.  You don’t think that you lot, in your lower grades of school, would be released to do your ‘learning job’ in and to anything real, did you?? 

‘…’

‘It has all been a dream, Son.

‘An interesting dream.  But a dream neverthless.

’Which it is now Time for you to wake up out of.

‘And get involved, rather, with

‘the Real Thing.  Because - ‘

‘It’s time.  Or Time.  As you say.  Sir.’

‘Yes.’

‘Graduation time.’ 

‘Indeed.’

‘For…’

‘For some.  Yes.’

‘And for the others??’

‘Ah.  Yes.  Well.  For some of those, they will have another chance at Graduation.  Once they wake up to what was their role in The Process.’

‘And for the others, of the others?’

‘The hard core of rebels.  Yes.  Well.  All that I will say to that question.  At this time.  Is.  That:  

‘You don’t really want to know, Son.

‘I guarantee you.  You don’t really want to know.

‘You just ‘need to know’ - for we are all here on a Need to Know basis - one thing:

‘There is Justice in this creation, Son.

‘Perfect.  Justice.

‘Because

‘the universe has Purpose.  And that purpose is Good.’

And having lost sight of that fact, it is no wonder that 1 in 8 Americans are now on mood meds.  Which, of course, is also a stupid thing to be doing; rather than getting to the causal level, and treating with such matters there, rather than just treating with the effects of causes.  Which approach will just continue the condition, under the band-aid approach to things.

And thus endeth the lesson for today.

For  

Today.
