Are You Ready To Relinquish Control Of Your Life?
The Experiment – Step Two:
Quantum Mechanics, Newtonian Physics…and Spiritual Healing – Volume 8
WHAT NOW, indeed! First, a quick review of step one, remember? Dad knows that I’ve been taking more than a little heat over step one …one person even suggested I was listening to “the wrong spirit.” A couple of others said in e-mails that the review of podcast #20 (from back in August) actually caused them to see what I was saying about organized Christianity.
This could hurt, please hold still.......
Another one said that she saw and even agreed with what Ryan and I had said, but she wouldn’t recommend it to some of her friends because it would only make them angry.
Well, if you recall, that is exactly the point Ryan meant, that is, “be a splinter in the pew for those who need to get beyond their anger and move out” – well that’s my paraphrase of what he said.
Back to reviewing Step One of the experiment: Take Responsibility (for everything that has occurred in our lives thus far). Once I did this and I DO mean everything, I experienced freedom and power as I never have before. Ryan and I hinted at this in podcast #37 and now I am again attempting to exhort, you who still may be reluctant, to take the same step.
Please remember that both Ryan and I confessed to having continual lapses in this arena, for which we, also, both take responsibility and which leads directly to step two in the experiment …the point of the question asked in the first paragraph of Volume Seven: “But wait a minute, isn’t step two a contradiction to step one?”
Well, let’s look at the two steps side-by-side:
1) Take responsibility for everything. 2) Relinquish control (of everything).
Here, now, is why the second step isn’t contradictory, but rather it is complementary, that is, relinquishing control cannot take place until you take full responsibility. Only as you allow the full weight of your life to rest, no matter how briefly, upon your own shoulders, will you begin to understand the true impact of Jesus’ sacrificial death, which is the essence of what one New Testament writer proclaimed, “is foolishness to the worldly wise, but to us who are being completed it is the residing power of the “SOURCE (admittedly and probably, obviously, a paraphrase on my part).
You see, when we take full responsibility for everything is when we understand just how much we need to be released from it. Then the responsibility is shifted onto the next step in our progression to be truly “sons of our SPIRIT-PARENT SOURCE” (no gender implied here, remember).
Our responsibility has shifted from taking the blame, to taking the responsibility of going to Daddy/Mommy for everything single thing that occurs in our lives …for me that is often just saying, “help, I screwed up again,” and that for allowing myself to be disconnected from SOURCE for which I must take the blame and the responsibility; and I relinquish control by admitting and crying out to the SOURCE for help.
It is here that I must explain what I’ve been shown and which doesn’t sit very well with Evangelical Christianity: The original couple screwed up by covering themselves up and attempting to hide from the One who formed them, because they thought they knew, better than He, that which constituted the truth about what is “right” and “wrong” and for which they were dispossessed of their place in the paradisaical “garden.”
Really....what can that accomplish? NOTHING!
You see, when I insist that somebody else is to blame for anything in my life I am falling into the same trap as the original couple. Instead of running for cover and hiding, had they called out, “HELP” they would have been joined by the one who formed them. Instead, they thought they knew better and when they were confronted with what they had done, instead of owning up to it, Adam blamed the woman, the woman blamed the serpent and the disconnection took place.
Now then, instead of arguing with me or, for that matter anyone else, go to Dad and say “HELP! I don’t want to listen to my own preconceived ideas or those of Brad Cullen or anyone else; I want YOUR help, NOW!” Do it, that’s step two of the experiment.
That, my friends, is taking responsibility and relinquishing control and …you have already “gotten it” if you have taken step two, which is simply crying out for help from the SOURCE until you know you have HER/HIS/ITS help. Which is what the experiment is all about; in fact it is what this entire trek through the fantasy land of Quantum Mechanics, Newtonian Physics …and Spiritual Healing , Volumes 1 – 8, is all about. You are connected …and needing nothing else …there is no other point or purpose.
