Then there appear to be those who know, but who do not know that they know. They are
asleep. Wake them.
Then there appear to be those who know, but who pretend that they do not know. They are
actors. Enjoy them.
Then there appear to be those who know, and who know that they know. Do not follow them.
For if they know that they know, they would not have you follow them. Yet listen very carefully
to what they have to say, for they will remind you of what you know. Indeed, that is why they
have been sent to you. That is why you have called them to you.
If a person knows, why would he pretend that he does not know? Who would do that?
Nearly everybody. At one time or another, nearly everybody.
But why?
Because you all love the drama so much. You have created an entire world of your illusion, a
kingdom in which you can reign, and you have become the drama king and the drama queen.
Why would I want the drama, rather than an end to the drama?
Because it is in the deliciousness of the drama that you get to play out, at the highest level
and with the greatest intensity, all the various versions of Who You Are, and may then select
who you choose to be.
Because it is juicy!
You’re kidding. Isn’t there an easier way?
Of course there is. And you will ultimately choose that, the moment you realize that all the
drama isn’t necessary. Yet sometimes you will continue to use drama, to remind yourself,
and to instruct others.
All Wisdom Teachers do this.
What are they reminding and instructing about?
The illusion. They are reminding themselves and instructing others that all of life is an illusion,
that it has a purpose, and that once you know its purpose, you can live within the illusion or
outside of it, at will. You can choose to experience the illusion, and make it real, or you can
choose to experience Ultimate Reality, in any given moment.
How can I experience Ultimate Reality in any particular moment?
Be still, and know that I am God.
I mean that literally.
