That’s generally a flip remark I make when I don’t understand something. Since I don’t know squat about lots of things that others find important, I don’t let my lack of intellectual understanding bother me – most of the time.
Surely, there must be an old saying that the only way to get where you want to go is to know where you’re going. If we want to give our lives a whole lot of meaning, perhaps we need to know the reason we came here.
If you spend a few moments analyzing the foregoing paragraph without first taking apart the word ANAL-LYZING and collapsing in laughter, as I just did; I mean, think about it: ANAL- what part of the anatomy is the focal point of all analysis?
We talk quite a bit about how the conscious part of the mind continually gets in the way of creativity, is it any wonder?
Proper analysis requires the use of the conscious part of the mind.
Ah-ha! So that’s what is meant by “being anal!”
Back to looking at the opening paragraph, it struck me that the words, “the reason we came here,” presuppose we came from somewhere else. If that’s true then from where did I come?
It is interesting, to me at least, that the English word “salvation” is translated from a Greek word that means joined together again; and a case can easily be made (this from a Greek business owner in South San Francisco) that the word ALSO means that the repair is completed. Re-paired – “joined together again,” with what or whom?
Salvation, therefore, means, “as you were in the beginning,” NOT at birth. Birth is the beginning we’ve been programmed to accept and keeps us trapped in thinking these human bodies we occupy are all there is to LIFE.
“Well, if that’s all there is, my friend, then let’s keep dancing, bring on the booze” (or to whatever else you might be addicted, such as dope, food, work, sex, religion, shopping, being a victim of whatever – any and all, which are human solutions to the problems and pain of living a life without REAL meaning.
What if your “beginning” was being an integral part of, “In the beginning, God created . . .” (?) In other words, what if you are a “Godicle” or particle of the Elohim-US, (“Let Us create”) I AM?
The link below is to a Brad Cullen article from a series I wrote in 2014, this one telling about the incident, years ago, that brought me to this breakthrough-epiphany to who we are.
I’m hoping you’ll read it several times through; it’s got pictures with captions, inserted by Ryan Bruce that help keep the reader focused.
In fact, when you open the article, make the first thing you look at the picture at the top of the article and read Ryan’s caption prayerfully and ask, “Is this for me?” It could be a life changer.

There’s an ancient text that says, “Many are called, but few are chosen.”
There are several keys, to live and operate in the presence and power of I AM that, I AM who spoke TO Moses and THROUGH Jesus and some of these keys that worked for me I shared in a Brad Cullen piece (link below) written in 2010.
I’m not chosen for the purpose of telling you how to be chosen, but I AM chosen to share with you what works for me, then it’s up to you to do one simple thing:
Go directly to the ONE who Both “calls” everyone and “chooses” the few and ask if what I’m sharing is for you.
I’d heard, when I asked what the difference was between the “called” and the “chosen?”
“My call is to everyone, I choose those who want to be chosen.”
The catalyst for me … was hollering (literally) “I want to be chosen.”
Is it for you?
There’s only one SOURCE that can answer that for me …the ONE who does the choosing – I AM that, I AM.

This is the 11th year since Ryan Bruce, the nom de plume, of a successful businessman in British Columbia who started a publishing company for the primary purpose of expanding the reading audience of my own nom de plume, “Brad Cullen,” a pseudonym or pen name of mine for about twenty years.
A fellow world traveler, Ryan and I’ve been together on business in several states and provinces in the U.S. and Canada as well as in several countries around the world, beginning in about 1998.
Just a few that mention prompted to flick across my memory, The Philippines, The UK, France, Switzerland, a number of island nations in the Caribbean, etc and our wives joined us on a few of those journeys.
In May of 2010, Ryan called me to ask if I’d mind him building a website about “spiritual healing” dedicated almost exclusively to carrying Brad Cullen articles and books.
Since I quickly recognized that the idea expanded my already enlarged ego to even greater dimensions, I asked and received a confirmation that we should do this together and that each article had to get a stamp of approval delivered into both our minds and that process continues today.
I’ve been writing Brad Cullen articles and Ryan’s been posting them ever since, and he illustrates them in a variety of ways with both serious and humorous captions, calling attention to what he feels needs to be said.
Some of those captions even poking fun at me or what I’m saying.
To me, Ryan’s illustrations and captions are an integral part of the message, and that he gets from going directly to our (your and my), SPIRIT-PARENT that he receives by asking for insights to add to “my” articles.
Take a look at an April 18, 2021 Brad Cullen article (link below), ostensibly about “reverse-aging” from “my” perspective and wanders all over the place into some spiritual areas that will be the cause of much discomfort for some readers, but demonstrates the point about Ryan’s illustrations and captions and also provides a certain historical perspective.
http://spiritualhealingsource.com/?p=9027 NOTE – TO GET CLARITY ABOUT THIS ARTICLE: Please be sure to also visit the link referenced in the third paragraph. Don’t expect it to provide any comfort, I found it to be unsettling, but every word confirmed (for me) by SPIRIT. I’ve asked Ryan to provide any editorial comment that provides clarity from his perspective, including about his name.
PUBLISHER’S NOTE: Brad aka Doug and I are very, very, different in how we view the world and beyond. Sometimes completely opposite points of view that always seem to balance well. I read and post Brad Cullen articles because there never fails to be a nugget of pure genius (not coming from Brad but through him). My desire is and has always been, to share these nuggets with you and anyone else who can pull the gold from the stream of consciousness Brad can flow with. Come back…often, to pan for your own nuggets, read the archives…you won’t be bored, you might be challenged, you may even discover some things.
