School of Spirituality

When I first started working on Somewhere Over the Rainbow, I envisioned a soul who was experiencing a parallel life... one on earth in a physical body; the other in the universe in a spirit body. Actually, they are one soul having vastly different, yet related experiences.

Earth is like a school where you learn and are tested through your physical experiences, where you advance and evolve your soul. The universe is also a school where you can study spirituality, where there are light teachers who can help you learn anything you want to know.

You think about how you’d like to find out more about your true spiritual nature, about how you’d like to be able to better prepare yourself for the daily tests you take on earth. Somewhere in your mind you’ve often wished that there was a school—a higher place of learning where you could take classes that would help you tremendously in your self-discovery and spiritual growth.

The School of Spirituality is a place that exists in the universe, a place where you can remember and rediscover your spiritual knowledge and find answers to all your questions. The curriculum is varied and interesting. There are classes that can expand your awareness and inner knowing. Weekend workshops are offered in any subject you want to know more about.

You can attend special seminars to learn about the spiritual perspectives of living in a physical body. You can take an art appreciation class to see how you really create your own reality, and to learn how to draw more magic into all your experiences on earth. You can meet other students and form discussion/study groups with them. The possibilities are endless.

Though this seems to be a perfect place to study and learn, to grow your soul, you feel a bit reluctant because there are a few basic required courses. Since your soul is grounded in a physical body, you have to take classes in Time and Space, Reality Awareness, and Energy and Matter to completely comprehend the concepts and to understand the relationship of these subjects on both a physical and a spiritual level, to see how they’re intertwined and how the vibrations interact with and influence each other. Then you have to incorporate this knowledge into all your day-to-day activities by expressing it through all your experiences.

To graduate your soul, you have to write a master’s thesis on the topic of Synchronicity and the Simultaneous Realm of Here and Now. Until you’ve advanced yourself above and beyond the universe, which you’ve heard takes a few millennia, you still have to take spiritual tests in an earthly dimension.

So while it may appear that you’re right back where you started (earth), you think about all you can learn at the School of Spirituality, and you do want to attend and get a higher education that will help you evolve your soul and show you how to pass your earthly and spiritual tests in a better way, with more understanding and insight.

You decide to go for it. Maybe it’s really just a dream or a parallel place in your mind, and you go there every night anyway when you think you’re asleep, so it would probably be a good idea to become conscious of it.

The more you think about it, the more the idea appeals to you. You grab your journal and your super-special pen that writes in both worlds, and you appear on campus, ready to explore this higher realm of learning and awareness, to evolve and advance your soul.
