What is Everything?

Some people say perception is everything—but let 's just toy with that idea for just a minute.

Trying to pretend or believe that perception does not matter may help you feel better about yourself, but it sure won’t change the way others perceive you, nor their actions towards you as a result.

So sure, perception is a big deal, but it is certainly not everything. Not even the truth is everything.

So then, if perception is not everything and the truth is not everything? What is everything??

Nothing. Nothing is everything; to tell the truth.

Ironic, eh?!

Let’s test this theory….Pff!!
Nothing?! What a load of crap?

What’s that…?
Nothing.
Alright, you got me, explain...

Here we go:

Nothing is everything because everything is nothing. What the what?

Let’s break it down a bit here:

The air, the universe, the clouds, --God! Human? Are all nothing.

I bet most of you are ready to throw stones at me now…what are you talking about!!! God is everything. I am somebody! Blah, blah, blah!!! Come on… I can hear the protests…but wait, just let me explain.

You see, without air in our bodies we are nothing... right? No man has ever seen God, right? And if we can’t see something then nothing is there, isn't that right? So God is nothing. The air—what is that? Can you see it? Feel it? Taste it? No. So it is nothing. Therefore, everything that we now know as the truth is nothing.

What is the truth?

The truth is only a fragment of our perceptions (imagination) and our perceptions are based on our beliefs. Therefore, what we believe when it boils down to the truth, is nothing. You may say that’s just a load of crap and maybe it is, but think about it just for a minute... What’s that?! Nothing. Anyway, just entertain the idea for a minute…really now…lol!

Full disclosure

Mind you, I believe in God and He is my Everything. Without Him, I am Nothing. No pun intended.

Until next time,

Be Blessed. Be Bold. Be Strong. Be You!

A Visit to Toronto’s First Black Church: Happy Black History Month

Faith is a huge part of Black culture. On the last Sunday of Black History Month, I took the liberty of visiting Toronto’s first Black church and establishment—First Baptist Church. It was a true jubilee. Rev. Dr. Wendell Gibbs's message was powerful and deeply moving. He reminded us of our identity in Christ, declaring, “Black history didn’t begin with slavery or emancipation but in the Genesis beginning.” He also spoke of “The anguish of our ancestors… those who died [so we could have] peace… May humanity never again perpetrate such injustice against humanity. [And] we… vow[ed] to uphold this.” The service reached a pivotal moment when the congregation joined the choir in singing: I’m no longer a slave to fear I am a child of God. Founded in 1826 by formerly enslaved people who sought refuge in Canada, First Baptist Church has long stood as a pillar of the Black community. While the original congregation laid its foundation nearly two centuries ago, the current building, complet...

A Personal Sunday Reflection on the Three Stages of Life: Rest in Peace, My Brother.

A personal Sunday reflection of my brother’s life and legacy, in what I call the three stages of life—birth and development, the pursuit and the chase, and sickness and dying— illuminating the gift of mortality. Rest in peace, my brother. Life often demands reflection in its quietest moments. It's no wonder some people are always busy. The recent passing of my brother, Donovan, brought me to one of these moments—confronted by the stillness of an early morning ten days after his departure, I had an epiphany . In that silence, I considered the arc of life, its inevitable stages, and the truths that define us. From the beginning of birth to the vigour of youth and its pursuits of adulthood, to the finale—the fragility of aging and dying. I contemplated that life unfolds in three distinct but interconnected phases: birth and development, the pursuit, and sickness and dying. Birth and Development: The Foundation of Self Life begins with hope and infinite potential. Each birth represe...
