When Worlds Collide

Last updated on: March 8, 2012 at 5:40 am By chrisjohnson

By Bruce Adams Through years of observation I have noticed something that appears to be a very interesting phenomenon. The phenomenon, of which I speak, is the widespread teaching and acceptance of an erroneous understanding. Jesus once said, John 3:3-7 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into... Read more

Honesty

Last updated on: March 1, 2012 at 3:27 am By chrisjohnson

Love is the Only Answer to Fear

Last updated on: February 23, 2012 at 6:13 pm By chrisjohnson

By Bruce Adams Although the word love represents a vast array of interpretations, I believe it would be safe to say, there exists no other word that has impacted life in this world more than the word love. Try as you might, you would be hard pressed to come up with a word that is more powerful than the word love. That said, you would be equally hard pressed to find a definition for the word love that everyone would... Read more

By Bruce Adams For those of you who read Prophet or Madman, a book I wrote that explores the myths and realities of Creation, you may recall the following from the section on time. In Genesis 2:4, you will find your first hint of the concept of past, present, and future existing as one. These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the LORD God made the earth... Read more

You Must Become A Fool To The World

Last updated on: February 28, 2012 at 7:12 pm By chrisjohnson

By Bruce Adams In order to prepare myself for the transformation from my human life to that of Spirit, I have had to experience being a fool to not only the world but also my personality self on more than one occasion. For those who have been following along, you may recall, I said, as part of my journey, I have gone through a business breakup, a divorce, and a bankruptcy. On their own, each could be viewed as an... Read more

By Bruce Adams Have you ever heard the expression, “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” Abraham Lincoln What Lincoln said was very true in terms of this world and many people live their lives in hopes that they can convince others that something is true when it is not.

Live In Consciousness or Die In Ego

Last updated on: January 26, 2012 at 7:48 pm By chrisjohnson

Live In Consciousness or Die In Ego By bruce Adams On the back of my first book “It Is All One Truth,” I wrote, “Live In Consciousness or Die In Ego.” What has escaped many in this world is that Ultimately, there are only two states of consciousness available to us at any given time. When viewed from the most basic terms, these two states could be described as being awake or asleep. Another way of describing the only real... Read more

As they crisscross the fruited plain, or this megalopolis or that, you get to be a bug on the windshield and listen in to the chit-chat that Bruce and Steve engage in en route. What’s the one word summary? Responsibility. It’s our responsibility, each and every one of us, to move to a state of unconditional love.That wouldn’t be such a bad thing, now would it?

A Universe From Nothing

Last updated on: January 19, 2012 at 12:39 pm By chrisjohnson

By Bruce Adams Today as I drove from my home to Daddy Dee’s Ice cream shop, I heard something on PBS radio that I found so interesting that I had to blog about it. What I heard was an interview with an author who had written a book titled, “A Universe From Nothing.” Apparently, there are many physicists who hold to the notion that the universe just appeared and there is no evidence of a God or a Creator. According... Read more
