We could say, “We all know there is nothing new under the sun” – the two things I feel the need to comment on related to this quote, 1) It is a matter of perception and perspective and, 2) Therefore, it may not really even be true.

I just came across a Brad Cullen article I wrote in 2013 that is powerfully relevant to me for today – the following paragraph triggered my interest in reading the whole thing, Warning, the article is not only old but it is of considerable length –

Here’s the paragraph: “Ryan Bruce, said to me during a telephone conversation yesterday. “Listen to me,” he said, almost urgently, “what you are all about and what you continually do is urge people to quit following anyone, including you, and get their own connection to our SPIRIT-PARENT. You insult, you cajole, and you preach. Sometimes you say things lovingly, sometimes you come off like you are filled with hostility – the fact is that people get changed because you wake them up.”

There seems to be some truth to his statement, even today, that he made over eight years ago, and again, the article is powerfully relevant for me today. Here’s the link: http://spiritualhealingsource.com/?p=5649

Recently, during the latter part of 2021, I wrote a 7 part series of Brad Cullen articles called, The Faith of Enoch (and how to get it) and the point of which is in bold and underlined in the first sentence of two verses of in a famous passage often referred to as “The Faith Chapter” of the Christian Bible – Hebrews 11:

⁵ By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. ⁶ But without (this kind of?) faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

The New You, Part II

By Brad Cullen (written in May of 2014)

– So …The Question IS: How do we get the conscious, thought-processing-(skeptical and judgmental) parts of our individual minds into a loving relationship with the automatic processing part of our mind …that part which regulates the natural functions of these body-bags we occupy, such as breathing and the beating of the heart, without thinking about it, including but […]

“Before there was anything, I AM that, I AM”

-Doug Ferguson/“Brad Cullen”

I’m a published writer …but it’s not my identity. I write commercially and do business under the name my birth parents tagged me with, Doug Ferguson; I write things of a spiritual nature under the pseudonym “Brad Cullen.”

I wrote my first novel, Leapfrog, anonymously, just as I had all books and articles of a spiritual genre up until 2003.

After seven rejections, my agent in Los Angeles called me with the good news – a major publisher in New York had accepted Leapfrog on the condition that it be published with an author’s name rather than anonymously.

Why that particular publishing event never took place was that on the day I was enclosing the contracts for the book along with the movie rights, with my signature into a DHL envelope addressed to the agent – was laying on my desk, unsealed was when I was kidnapped.

I’d already insisted that Leapfrog not be published under Doug Ferguson, because of a swirling and complicated legal/political situation that was threatening and swirling about me like a violent storm.

That storm culminated in my being kidnapped and falsely accused of several crimes, which is a long and separate story related elsewhere.

A young lady, one of my agent’s staff readers, who had been responsible for the agent accepting the novel in the first place, was suggesting that it be published under “Brad Cullen” one of the main characters in Leapfrog. Brad Cullen was officially “born” as my pseudonym.

The history behind my writing Leapfrog is really quite simple; I was operating from a base in Kampala, Uganda as a business consultant to and a writer for the Lake Victoria Free Trade Zone in liaison with the LVFTZ Governor’s staff.

A member of that staff, a lawyer, happened to be a fan of my anonymously written (pre-Brad Cullen) books and articles carried on a website I’d put together with the domain, www.ministryofspirit.com (no longer online).

The lawyer was also mutual friends with a doctor and her husband, a prominent businessman, in Kampala who had encouraged me to write a novel based on the true stories with which they were familiar, “Because,” he had said, “with a novel based on a true story, you can get across the spiritual principles you’ve taught us, far more effectively with more people than by writing about them directly.”

The couple had read the first Leapfrog draft and had made several suggestions. 

The couple and the lawyer were strong supporters of the spiritual work I did in the east/central African “bush” founding house fellowships throughout Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda.

Leapfrog and a later book, Integration of the Mind became the basis of my own simple religion, which I explain in a 2015 article that is accompanied by a video-cast, an interview about the article, My Simple Religion, link below.
