Integration of the Mind – Part Forty
Once A Conflict Is Suspected, What Now?
Is this going on in your head? What now?
Medical missionary in Africa and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Albert Schweitzer, said: “Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you’ll be a success.”
In my point of view, which is ONLY a point of view, is that when anyone does what he or she is NOT happy about doing – it produces CONFLICT …a conflict that is fertile ground for stress to breed all sorts of problems including sickness and disease …certainly not success and happiness …or as Al put it, it’s the other way around.
Upon reflection and in consultation with my Board of Advisors, I’m a bit amazed at something I had not consciously realized previously. The major resistance to what I have written in the past about “spirit agents” (by whatever other term or name) is from those who tend to be devout in their following of Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism.
Hmmm.... what religion should I follow?
I say amazed, due to the fact that the primary Scriptures of all four of these major religions make direct reference to such sentient beings – and, depending upon individual interpretation, these beings are in constant conflict, which includes interference with human beings and some folks make reference to as “spiritual warfare.”
In the past, this has been anything but a favorite topic for many – in fact, we have even lost audience over it. Well, we’ve lost audience over a lot of things I’m given to say – and as I have been reminded more than once, “my” audience is not my God …need I say more?
With that being said, I feel the need of making a comment here: The remainder of this chapter will be offensive to some, BUT ONLY if they allow it to be …and this is the crux – I’m turning it from a “they” to a personal it is your choice …if, however, you are finding it impossible not to be offended, I suggest that you STOP and ask the following question: “Do I want to be motivated by LOVE and is this feeling of offense motivated by LOVE or something else?” (Shhh, relax, listen until you get an answer).

Love your enemies, Love them to death.
Now, my purpose in life is to be connected 24/7 with the ONE Who said, “Love your enemies,” HE/IT/SHE has said it through many people …several of whom are among my Board of (ten) Advisors who are guiding me on this little digression –and smiling at my amazement– my current belief system has interpreted, “Love your enemies,” as ruling out dropping bombs or perpetrating other acts of violence on these enemies because they (these perceived enemies) believe differently than I do related to being motivated by LOVE …whether “tough” or of another variety.
Further, if I sense feelings of hatred toward these perceived enemies, I recognize the seed of action that follows such feelings and get rid of them. That is the spiritual warfare that I recognize – some might insist that such a battle is contained “all in one’s mind.”
“All in the mind” is an interesting point of view, and one with which I refuse to argue, because it doesn’t matter. Whether there are “enemy agents” or “entities,” call them what you will, who are inciting such acts of violence or prompting the feelings and thoughts that precede it – they still wind up as thoughts and feelings in what we refer to as the “mind.”
We are one, at the point of collective consciousness.
Whether the SOURCE, or GOD, or SPIRIT, or pick your favorite title, including “Collective Consciousness” which, this latter, might imply that each of us is a part of SOURCE, or GOD, or SPIRIT – (whatever works for you) or it might imply that, collectively, WE are GOD …BOTH/ALL are ONLY points of view – and therefore important only to the holder of such points of view.
I’m sharing where I am with something and it ties in with four things,
- Visualization and/or imagination as a means of creating “virtual reality.”
- Complete integration of all parts of the personal, human mind, both conscious and unconscious.
- How I go about putting my mind under the complete control of our (your and my) SPIRIT-PARENT by whatever other title or name and
- Carrying over from the last segment related to CONFLICT and what Jim discovered and did to get rid of it – far simpler than what you may be thinking.
Folks, pay attention here, as this is a Brad Cullen original …well maybe “original” is a bit over-stated, nonetheless: HARNESSING THE POWER OF THE CONSCIOUS WITH THE SUBCONSCIOUS, IN ALL ITS MYRIAD PARTS, AS A COOPERATIVE SINGULAR, BRINGS ABOUT EXTRAORDINARY POWER, BUT STILL LIMITED, until something else happens.
Remember, this is ONLY a point of view, nothing more and nothing less, if it bothers you, try repeating, “An interesting point of view, I have this point of view” …please repeat until you no longer feel the necessity of doing violence upon my person.
Brad convenes a meeting regularly. Do you?
In other words, what? This segues into “spiritual warfare.” My Board of (ten) Advisors, one and all, are laughing at my amazement at writing this. Please remember that these ten are known either for their having written some of the Scriptures that I referenced earlier; Baba, Lahti, Moo, Mose and Zoe certainly fit into that category, Jay didn’t write any directly, but was quoted a lot, which one might also say about Sid.
The other three, Jere, Moe and Yogi certainly were known to comment prodigiously about these same Scriptures and, again, they, all ten, are smiling benignly right now also at my amazement related to their comments during our meeting this morning.
Before we get into their comments, I feel the need to remind everyone who each of these rather “familiar” names by which they and I both refer to each of them are …and also remind everyone that it was Jesus of Nazareth, who gave me permission, personally, to refer to him as “Jay” (this will surely tick off some) and who introduced me to Muhammad, as living right now and who later told me it was quite okay to call him Moo, (this will surely tick off a bunch of others).
One leader...Source.
I initially thought of Jay as the “Chairman” of this Board which grew quite rapidly and when all ten were installed as a live group with which I met somewhat regularly, it became clear that Jay along with the others all thought of themselves as equals with only ONE LEADER.
One and all insisted that they were brothers and of one purpose with the same SPIRIT-PARENT as had been revealed to me. How’s that for an integration of a rather esteemed group of collected consciousness?
Somewhat alphabetically by nickname: Baba is Baha’u’llah the founder of the Baha’i Faith and writer of many works considered to be sacred among adherents of Baha’i; Jay, again, is Jesus of Nazareth, who is thought of by many as “the Christ” and founder of Christianity; Jere is Saint Germain, who I think of often and affectionately as a “spook” and early on in our meetings, the rest of the Board implied as much, that is, he rarely ever showed up in human form …and they always did it with good humor and he took it that way; although, as I have mentioned before that his smile looked a bit, to me, more like an infant’s gas pain.
Lahti is Lao Tzu the reputed founder of Taoism and writer of the Tao; Moo, is Muhammad, the founder of Islam and the author of the Qur’an; Moe is Mohandas Gandhi, who, in the flesh, never claimed to have started any religious movement …but Jay is urging that I insert something here and he’s giving me the okay to put quotation marks around it: “Moe, in the flesh, was an incarnation of me.”
When I noticed that Moe looked up, at Jay at this remark, without objection, and a broad grin – said, “Sounds like something Brad Cullen would have written, which makes you an incarnation of what?”
A fine group of advisers.
We are all laughing together at that one – well, I joined in after my initial reaction of shock …to which Sid, just said, “just let it soak in so others reading this can begin to absorb what’s in store for them as they begin to understand and relax at what we are all saying.”
Mose is Moses, considered to be a major prophet of Judaism and the author of the Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible; Sid is Siddhartha Gautama, who, on somewhat of a parallel with Jesus, being “the Christ” is considered to have founded Buddhism and to be “the Buddha.” Both terms are a bit synonymous (and I hasten to say, that is really only a point of view, but one you might consider carefully before rejecting out of hand).
Yogi, is known mostly by the pen name under which he wrote: Confessions of a Yogi, that is Paramahansa Yogananda, I just looked over at him and received a loving, nodding shrug of (now I’m grinning) approving non-committal, (even Jere broke out in a REAL smile at that one) and finally last, and neither least: Zoe, is known mostly as Zoroaster or Zarathustra and since many of you may not have heard about Zoroastrianism, the religion he was “blamed” for starting – this bit of research brought this up and the entire Board is saying this is a perfect representation of all of them:
“Is Zoroastrianism Monotheism, Philosophy or Religion in History?
Learn the symbolism.
It is easy to answer this question. Inkling about Zoroastrian philosophy shows that Zarathustra, never assumed prophet-hood. He never claimed he had associated with the Lord of cosmos whose width galaxy extends more than 36 milliard (36 thousand, million), light years, which lies beyond our imagination. Zarathustra, never ordered his followers to perform certain activities, but he recommended them to try to know the creator of the earth and heaven and adopt good manner, on the basis of their wisdom. Therefore, Zarathustra was neither a prophet, nor we can call his spiritual path a “religion,” rather he was a thoughtful benevolent who recognized his God on the basis of his wisdom and never said he had been missioned to bring any message from God to human beings.”
An interesting point of view …and a perfect place to ask, what now. . . Okay, to prove that I am not bound by prior commitment or any legalistic obeisance to organization – I am going to break off this segment, still without resolving what I allowed to spill over into this one about Jim’s conflict, or had you forgotten too? We’ll get to it …this is exactly the reason that publisher, Ryan Bruce, said I have writer’s ADD – or, wait a minute, is it ADHD? (I wasn’t paying attention when the difference was explained).
See you next “chapter.”
