What Jesus Is Teaching (Me) Today – 15
In Which Self Do I Need to Increase Confidence?
Brad frequently says things that set him apart.
If you haven’t guessed it, or picked it up from what I have been writing for “public consumption” steadily, since the year 2000, what I write is not always very popular.
Some in the ranks in the professional clergy have called me a charlatan, said I am controlled by an evil spirit; that I am a used-car salesman (I apologize to the honest used car salespeople out there for that one); that I am deceived; leading people into a cult, and any number of other unpleasant things.
Around 5% of those clergy who have engaged me in dialogue have also come out of that profession, not only renouncing it, but denouncing it even more vehemently than I ever have. Having been “one of those,” briefly, I understand completely the difficulty they’ve gone through to come out – a highly seductive system.
Weapons of Peace are a reflection of a flawed system.
It is a thoroughly deceptive system that seems “right” for so many reasons; after all, organized religion does many “good” things, does it not?
Your answer to the immediately foregoing question depends upon your point of view …or to use a word I’m fond of, perspective.
Here’s my point: All systems of men are flawed and I feel nudged to identify a few by name, in no particular order, ALL systems of: physical and emotional healing; religion; philosophy; education; government; science; – all have their “good” and “bad” points – what is the flaw? DECEPTION! I’ve ranted and raved forever …and people think I’m nuts for doing so, but about that old Jewish story of the garden, in which a serpent talked the first couple (not just the woman) into thinking that eating the fruit on the tree of knowledge of good and evil would give them the wisdom to know the difference between “good” and “bad,” is the baloney that leads to the judgment (conclusions) that Jay said don’t engage in or you are going to be swallowed up in it yourselves.
We are all susceptible to the judgment of deception – when we think we aren’t …that’s the moment at which we are most susceptible. There are parts of all systems which can be profitable, but when we swallow the entire piece of fruit and have it reinforced by the education system that accompanies it, we are bound to commit ourselves to the deception therein.
Can Angels deceive? Ask Source.
When we make the conclusion or judgment that everything in that system is “bad” or “good” we have just swallowed the very same fruit.
A brother shared a revelation that he had received from our SPIRIT-PARENT yesterday, the essence of which was that I needed to renounce something I’ve been saying recently.
I trust that the revelation was “right on” …I also felt the need for direct clarification from our SPIRIT-PARENT as to what I was supposed to do about it. The difference between what he got and what I got was only in the details and that some of it was for him rather than for me, and I was given a clear directive to do NOTHING related to his interpretation until I had clear leading from our SPIRIT-PARENT as to what action(s) I was to take.
Listen to the squirrel Brad, before it's to late.
Nonetheless it was a humbling experience because I have taken a wrong path – not the one my brother was identifying, but a path I’ve been on needs to be renounced – to use a religious term I NEED TO REPENT, that is, change my thinking and direction.
This brings us to the real point of this chapter: I not only do not have any confidence in any of the three parts of “self” that are referred to in the psychological system that compartmentalizes the mind into the “conscious, sub-conscious or super-conscious” parts of the mind, we tend to think of as “the self,” to do the work of GOD on earth, no matter what HE/IT/SHE is called (the names of which are also manufactured via the finite interpretations filtered through the minds of men) nor do I trust the leading of any other human being or the system driving them, no matter how beautiful and pure that system appears both “in the spirit” and on a practical level (period).
I recently, starting back in mid March, wrote a series and formatted it into a book –soon to be published– called Integration of the Mind which, hopefully, clearly makes this point: That none of the three parts (more or less, depending upon the system of labeling in which you believe) are empowered to do anything in the “eternal” (literally that dimension in which there is no beginning and no ending) sense of things UNTIL/UNLESS connected with what some refer to as UNIVERSAL INTELLIGENCE, some prefer to use God, or Holy Spirit …I prefer SPIRIT-PARENT for a variety of reasons …boiled down to a phrase with which I am more than comfortable …it is only my point of view and with which I am not intending to say is better than anyone else’s point of view.
Aren't we all, from time to time?
Some have a different point of view; simply stated that we are always and already –and always have been– connected …which point of view is correct? My answer to that is BOTH and many variations as well.
What I am supposed to say here is that I do need to practice my own preaching – which is that when we get off the track, back up to the point where we were derailed.
What I got from having to go deeply, through incessant, persistent beating on the door of our SPIRIT-PARENT, to get clarity as to what it is I need to renounce and the reason I need to do so, has been humbling to say the least.
I have steadfastly refused to make money from writing of a spiritual nature. Ryan Bruce, the CEO of the company that publishes Brad Cullen books and sponsors the SpiritualHealingSource.com website, does make a hint on the site that donations are welcome, but that is a small percentage that doesn’t come close to recouping his direct expense or his time involved. I receive nothing financial from the website or any book revenue (period).
Shift consciousness to a higher dimension.
The justifications for that decision cover a broad spectrum, but are all totally irrelevant, the instructions I’ve received are to look elsewhere for added income and which will appear automatically if I stay focused on my purpose.
Recently my focus has shifted; the shift began with the intent of Integration of the Mind. I was given an idea that practically insures that it will sell well over a million copies in the U.S. alone. I’ve also been given the okay to benefit from those sales.
That shift in consciousness has had serious repercussions to the point where money has become my motivation. I’ve been assured that until I renounce that motivation and get back to what I know to be true for me …that is, money comes to me automatically when I focus on my primary purpose in life …which is staying connected to our SPIRIT-PARENT 24/7.
This does not mean I have to refuse to make money and that the Integration of the Mind cannot be a commercial enterprise, because that is okay, it is simply that I must return to my main focus and I was just reminded by Jay of something he said two thousand years ago; that there is a spiritual being called Mammon (roughly meaning the power of money) who rules over all commerce and that I cannot hope to focus on both Mammon and our SPIRIT-PARENT …for me, to attempt to do so means being distracted from that purpose. This is personal, it is a revelation for me; I’ve been shown what to do about it.
I like that about you Brad, you take responsibility and clean it up!
You might ask why I am instructed to bring it up here: The answer I’ve been given is that by taking the responsibility for some of the negative things that it has already created and publicly confessing that it was the underlying cause, it will allow the free flow of everything I want …to come about automatically and, again, that comes about by staying connected 24/7 and not being distracted by anything else.
What now?
As I said, at the beginning of this segment, over the course of writing from a spiritual perspective, ever since finally (I struggled with that decision for quite some time) obeying the “call” for me to come ALL the way out of that system, I’ve been both applauded and vilified by those still in the system whether of the organized, unorganized or disorganized variety.
There are those who have dared to refer to me as a “prophet” …a label I call preposterous because of the religious connotation that gets attached to it. As I pointed out I’ve also been called names at the other end of the spectrum. I am a man with more flaws than most, the knowledge of which has driven me to be in absolute peace (most of the time) and accepting of the LOVE and GRACE of the SOURCE of everything.
Some light is required for true clarity.
Those times during which I am not at peace I pound on the door of our SPIRIT-PARENT wanting to know what the conflict is UNTIL I have clarity.
This is what I have been doing ever since the brother told me the revelation he received. Again, I reiterate that what he received was from the SOURCE, his interpretation as it relates to me is filtered through a viewpoint he has been given which is different than the point of view I have.
The solution, for me, is probably far simpler for me than it is for him. Here’s the crux: Because his point of view (his interpretation) is that I should renounce what I’ve been directed to do and I see it differently than he; I not only don’t worry about what he is directed to do, that’s between him and our SPIRIT-PARENT, I also believe (which also doesn’t make it true for him) that what needs to occur for now, is for him to follow his heart without being distracted by me …he doesn’t need me any more than I don’t need him. It would be pleasant if we could both walk the paths upon which we’ve been placed without any feelings of necessity to bring correction to the other.
“What’s that to you,” our SPIRIT-PARENT is saying, “you come follow me. Stop here and I will give you what to say for your #16.”
