The Wizard of Is, the Wizard of Was, and the Wizard of Will Be went to visit Universal Brain. “Brain”, they stated, “brain we have a situation”. “Easy enough”, replied Brain, “every situation has an outcome.” “Well Brain”, replied the wizards, “this situation may present a problem.” “Easy enough”, responded Brain, “every problem has a solution, better to live in the solution than to live in the problem.”
The three wizards removed their pointy caps and scratched their head over this. They had to agree. They had always trusted Universal Brain. “Now”, Brain stated, “allow us together to solve or resolve the problem, please tell me what you perceive it to be.” The wizards looked among themselves searching for which wizard would be first to explain to Brain.
The Wizard of Is went first because he saw the problem as happening now. “O, Great Brain”, he explained, “I perceive the situation as this. The Shiny people have become broken and now there are Shiny people and Broken people.” “Not to worry”, said Brain, “all people are the same people. The Shiny people will see they are broken and the Broken people will see they are shiny. The first will be last and the last will be first.”
The Wizard of Was was next because he remembered the history. “O, Potent Brain, we remember when all the people were One, back in the beginning. We remember what belonged to one belonged to all, and the One fared well. We remember the Shiny people and when one of the Shiny became broken we helped, for that was one of us. We remember how the great journey was made.” “Tis true”, said Universal Brain, “this is all real, not illusion, but there is more. The illusion is that this is all there is.”
The Wizard of Will Be went third. She cautioned, “O, Dear Brain, what of a day when Broken people cannot be? What of a day when Shiny people, forgetting the Interconnectedness of All Life, separate and discard the Broken people. What of this division in life, this division will it not separate all life? What of the Broken heart?” Brain thought, then surely answered, “A broken heart is unable to love again, so we repair the heart.”
Brain studied the faces of the three wizards. He could see clearly that they were still ill at their ease. He knew they cared deeply for the fate of the Broken, as well as the Shiny People. Universal Brain thought long and hard, but just for the moment. Brain then returned to Now and offered words of comfort to the wizards.
“Dear wizards, as you gather together, see that you hold the past, the present, and the future all in One. Use this One to gather the people, both the Shiny and the Broken. Allow them to know, to know more of their past evolving from One. Then let them know of their future gathered together in One. But especially important as all three are, let them see, let them be witness to the present. To a present of unification, Oneness. Let them see in the present the way it is, was, and will be. Assist them with transition through illusion.”
The Wizards understood how to bring the people back together now. They would tell the story of Oneness. They will tell the story of Oneness in the beginning and in the end. And most importantly, they live the life of Oneness in the Now. They, as three, do, did, and will do their wizardry to fulfill Universal Brain’s proclamation. As it is stated, “Every problem has a solution.” Universal Brain smiled.
