So this is the Truth?
“Everything we hear is opinion, not a fact; everything we see is perspective, not truth.” – Marcus Aurelius
If old Marcus knew what he was talking about, almost two thousand years ago, he left us with a quite narrow band for where to find “The” truth. Certainly not in physical “evidence” and especially not in testamentary evidence, which is simply perception blended with opinion.
Since a couple in eastern Canada has been reading the Brad Cullen book, Integration of the mind and calling me somewhat enthusiastically about the effect it is having on them, I pulled my own copy off the shelf and am rereading it.
I just came across this narrow slice of the truth, from the bottom of page 190:
“It is what it is – until we do something with it to make it far more than what it, at first, seemed to be.” – Brad Cullen
Since I’m going on 95 and doing some of the things I was able to do when I was 30 seem beyond me, my little Brad Cullen quote from page 190 hit me between the eyes.
A close friend, long-time business associate and partner dragged me out of retirement to be CEO of one of his companies in May of 2020, when the country was reeling from the Covid crisis, and a number of his companies were among the financially wounded, he wanted me to come up with a marketing plan and execute it.
It’s been a swim against the current, but the point is I’m doing something that few people going on 95 could and would undertake. We’re not out of the woods yet, but this quote, from our Spirit Parent, through Brad Cullen is giving me a huge boost.
“It is what it is – until we do something with it to make it far more than what it, at first, seemed to be.”
It’s a reminder that I don’t know squat, and the only way for me to be successful in this endeavor is to operate in the presence and power of I AM that, I AM and the “doing something” is getting and staying in that zone of abject humility and dependence upon our Spirit Parent, who gets all the credit for success.
There will be more to come.
