Yes.

Here is your first lesson: You are already a sage. You are already infinitely wise. How? Because there is no actual self-enclosed “you.” Only Awareness. Only the One Consciousness playing out different ‘roles’ through these seemingly-separate, temporary embodied illusions called ‘people,’ humans’ (and everything else in this temporary illusory manifest universe.) And that One Self already knows everything, is everything. And that One Self is all that exists and all that “you” and “I” are. So You are an extremely wise sage. Already. Right now.

Here’s your second lesson: As a temporary illusory ‘role‘ or ‘seemingly-separate life’ of the One Consciousness, what you are most extremely wise about, is You. Consciousness has imbedded the temporary You with the exact wisdom of how to be You. How to be the most unique, amazing Tom or Jane or Youssef or Parvathi on Earth. Everyone is the wise sage of how to be their own unique temporary ‘selves.’ You need do nothing else. Because “we” are not the Doer, Consciousness is. That means all of “us” are equal. There is absolutely no necessity or superiority to the ones who seem to stick out as extremely wise ‘sages.’ None! There is only the One Self and the One Wisdom, so identifying or glorifying some of these temporary, illusory manifestations as sages, masters, gurus or ‘enlightened ones’ is just a game “we” (Consciousness) play.

Final lesson: If you have truly studied and internalized Lessons 1 and 2, you can see that even the desire to become extremely wise or a sage could only reinforce the false ego-sense that there are a bunch of ‘real, separate-from-The Self’ entities, controlling their own ‘separate destinies,’ with some ‘rising above’ the others. And that through your “own,” ‘separate-from-The Self’ efforts, “you,” too (ego) can become superior to others. What folly! Since You are already the wisest, most-perfect incarnation of “you,” and simultaneously the all-knowing One Self.

Got it?

Great! Congratulations! You graduate. You are now an official sage.

Your Official Sage Certificate will be mailed to you.

Note: It’s being mailed TPS (Triloka Postal Service.) Very slow mail service (and being meddled with by some orange-haired guy in Washington, trying to make it even slower:-)

So you won’t receive your Official Sage Certificate until…”you” completely disappear! :-)
