Gina Dunlop’s article on Journalist Truth made me realise the threat any innovator faces. Visionaries throughout history (Galileo, Copernicus) or in modern times (Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela) seem bound to confront the established theorists of the day.
At each point the established theorists say, “if it’s not proven, it won’t work”. But what they are actually saying is, “we don’t understand what you’re saying”, “we don’t have the means to test it” or “we are threatened by what you are saying”.
Many of these innovators and visionaries continue their work, often in the face of untold pressure, until the weight of anecdotal evidence and eventually scientific evidence, become too great to ignore. Then, of course that work is ‘accepted’ and the ‘theorists’ line up behind it and vehemently defend, the next innovation.
It does appear strange how quickly ‘academics’ and ‘scientists’ circle the wagons to prevent new ideas from getting in. Surely that is contrary to the truest quest for learning (maybe it’s only knowledge they covet). Radioactive uranium was still radioactive before Geiger counters existed, scurvy existed before we understood the role of vitamin C, in fact we seemed to have reframed the reality that humanity is playing catch up trying to understand the world with the idea that we are continually on the edge of discovery.
What is curious about the teachings of Serge Benhayon and ‘The Way of The Livingness’ is not that they are radical, but that the teachings are not new. In fact they have been presented over and over again by people from different cultures across the world, across the centuries.
“Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.”Hippocrates (400bc)
Universal Medicine makes this current by suggesting how we live our life is our greatest form of medicine. Please Note: Universal Medicine (UniMed) doesn’t say ‘ONLY’ form of medicine but simply suggests that what we do every day has the biggest impact on how we are everyday.
“Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Christ; Luke 17:21)
Universal Medicine makes this current by suggesting that maybe Christ was onto something. Looking within, rather than look to another is something many have said in the past. Please Note: Universal Medicine doesn’t say, “the way to connect to your soul is to follow UniMed and everything they say.” Students are reminded time and time again, “words alone mean nothing, discern everything you hear, read by connecting to yourself, and feel what is being said.”
Which is similar to the Dalai Lama’s statement,
“The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual’s own reason and critical analysis.”
Then we move to personal responsibility.
“Man wretched Man, thou shalt be thought to know, who bears within himself the inborn cause of woe. Unhappy race! That never yet could tell, how near their good and happiness they dwell.” (Pythagoras, Golden Verses)
Universal Medicine makes this current by suggesting that we take responsibility for our choices, choose to express from our inner-heart and that through this we may find a joy, familiar, but not lived for a long time.
Could the scariest thing being presented by Universal Medicine be the realisation that all of us including priests, professors, inventors and other ‘brilliant minds’ have been looking for an answer for centuries and don’t want to admit that it has already been given to us, many times over? What if after all our searching, the answer has been right under our noses all along? (The answer is not Serge Benhayon or any Universal Medicine practitioner, the answer is all of us equally).
This could be a bitter pill to swallow for many of us, not to mention those that have accumulated a lot of power by having ‘expert knowledge’. Which might just explain why we seem to keep the focus on looking forward and dismiss suggestions to look within.

Ageless Wisdom Teachings
The Truth about Universal Medicine 
It could be presented in a funny sketch that we are searching everywhere, high and low for what eventually will be found to be right there with us all of the time. As in someone looking for their glasses only to find them hanging on their nose. Or someone looking for their keys only to find that they were in their pocket all along.
Absolutely Yes Joel, for it reveals the evil we have allowed to enter. Seeing that even though we have had those true teachings in all those decades, something as you shared in the last sentence is revealed, sharing as above, so too below now : ”This could be a bitter pill to swallow for many of us, not to mention those that have accumulated a lot of power by having ‘expert knowledge’. Which might just explain why we seem to keep the focus on looking forward and dismiss suggestions to look within.’
It indeed is true. Fact.
When truth is presented it can be uncomfortable for many, as it shows the investment they have in their own creations and an ideal of what is perceived as being true. We want to protect our pride, so we feel threatened by what is being said because truth reveals the illusion we are under.
Visionaries have to confront what people are visioning. Yet, the difference between them is that the visionary is not bound by the present and is connecting to what could be. That clashes with the investment that people have regarding the present, even if it does not truly work for them.
Stunning article and it tickles me pink to fee how deeply stilling and utterly true the ageless wisdom is.
If we have been given the truth over and over by many different teachers throughout the ages, perhaps then it makes sense to see the internet troll and media attack on Serge Benhayon. If we look at the past it seems that we have a collective pattern of attacking and/or dismissing the truth, and this is evidenced in the way we live as human beings with the proliferation of abuse, corruption, violence and war we still have globally. Not only do we not truly listen when we hear the truth, we often attack it and try to shut it down. The crucifixion of Christ is a classic example of getting rid of the ‘nuisance’ truth teller.
The difference between knowledge and wisdom is profound and we can see the effects of favouring knowledge alone on society. We’ve established systems through education and in workplaces that value knowledge based intelligence, but we’ve done so to our own detriment as valuing knowledge can encourage hierarchical inequalities but still leave “intelligent” human beings struggling to deal with life. Memorised knowledge can’t really help us with how to live truly joyfully, with love, in cooperation with others, and with self care.
It is indeed a pill for all of us to swallow, that the answers have always been within yet we have spent literally aeons searching without for the next thing, the next answer, all the while ignoring that voice within. For many we’re invested so much in that outer search that to admit that we’ve been fooled all along is too much and so we rage against those who suggest that in fact we all know in us the truth … until eventually we come to this truth ourselves. We can try without for as long as we like but ultimately we’re coming back to within, it’s our choice how long this takes.
We know all the answers, but we dismiss them. As you well said Joel, this is not the first time we listen to the same teachings. Serge, like many other world teachers did in the past, fully claims himself, showing to all that we can live here on earth with the grandness of the universe, because we have access to endless wisdom just by re-connecting to our divine quality, the true source we come from.
And that’s the thing isn’t it, we’ve always had it, and we often ignore it and hence the frentic push out there to find something to distract us from the fact that it’s been within all of us all along and we’ve chosen to ignore it. So the question now becomes what do we do? We can choose to connect back now no matter where we’ve been, for that’s the other part … it’s there ready and willing when we are.
‘What if after all our searching, the answer has been right under our noses all along?’ Great question Joel, because we are all far more aware then we admit to ourselves, and as soon as someone starts standing for truth, we try to cut them down in order not to look at ourselves and the truth we know, but have never had the courage to stand by.
People often say that Serge Benhayon presents/confirms the truth that they have known, so perhaps it is not only ageless but it is also ubiquitous and equally available to all of us. And we all have our own reaction/response to look at – whether that is to reject, deny, or wait until enough people say ‘yes’ – as that is the very relationship we are having with our true nature.
The simple wisdom of accepting ‘how we live our life is our greatest form of medicine’ is a wise philosophy indeed. If others want to refute that fact, let them.
What a great snap shot to demonstrate that all Serge Benhayon presents is a modern day understanding, language and sharing of what has been presented for eons. The question you raise is the one to be asking: “why does humanity need to have the same lessons repeated for many thousands of years”?
I have learned so much from the presentations from Universal Medicine and from the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom but a standout for me is to always discern. I was one who used to often accept what I was told without questioning even though there would be a part of me that would be whispering ‘are you sure?’ This was usually from those who I had placed on pedestals thinking that they were wiser than me. So, when I arrived at my first Universal Medicine workshop and I was encouraged to discern everything I was being presented, to not believe anything without feeling the truth of it myself, I was stopped in my tracks by the opportunity I was being offered; the opportunity to finally acknowledge my own wisdom. Twelve years later I am so very appreciative of that life changing lesson.
Wise words as ever Joel, thank you. We are surely explorers who are uncovering…or rediscovering the grand truth of life. As such our openness is key – we must be willing to look at everything in the awareness of the ignorance we have created and chosen – and be humble enough to admit we have been wrong over and over again.
The concept that we are all equal, regardless of education, is definitely a bitter pill to swallow if you have vested any of your self-worth in that education. There is a practicality to what we learn in education that supports us but when it defines us, I believe it holds us back from our connection to a much deeper pool of wisdom.
So much of the world’s problems and dilemma’s could be solved and understood if everyone studied the Ageless Wisdom and began to live this truth consistently.
Humanity is full of examples of people/organizations who carry on their visions and depart from the status quo by moving against others. Unfortunately, such departures (to which people end up accommodating) do not always move humanity forward (actually, often times the opposite is the case). Yet, there are some fields that are not too amicable to departures from the status quo. Science is one of them. It is a bit like you have to adhere to a style of movement and cannot bring your own. The emphasis is on the way you move. If you move in a particular way, we are willing to sponsor you and to consider your results. Otherwise, forget it. That brings to the importance of supporting scientists to realize that the key is their true movement.
Look within, feel what is being said and take responsibility for your choices.. it’s so simple, and yet we can make life so difficult and complicated – anything but to accept these simple truths and ways of being and let go of our control and individuality.
Great article Joel showing how Universal Medicine has presented the Ageless Wisdom as it has come down through the ages. Truth can be felt and lived when we connect to our own body of truth and live accordingly.
I was speaking with a friend yesterday who is a practitioner of Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy. She was saying how it’s near impossible to have anything published medically about the modality as to be published there needs to be some writing before on it to be referenced. So anything that hasn’t been published before can’t be published. Doesn’t really give much room to move.
An article that just makes plain and simple sense. Whenever anyone has challenged the ‘rule’ of the day there has always seemed to be a conflict between those that are doing something one way and the introduction of the new way. As is exposed here this isn’t new to us as human beings and its certainly something that will continue to happen and yet when you break it down it doesn’t make sense. It becomes slightly funny in a way when you can see it’s almost like we are going around in circles with different people at different points in history presenting pretty much the same things with pretty much the same reaction, only for us to call it different because there are some very slight differences. I wonder if you were watching humanity on TV in a series if you would have become frustrated by now or if you would’ve turned off the TV because you know what is going to happen next. Let’s stop for a minute and truly look at what we are doing here, many people past and present saying a similar thing and loosely from me, the answer to everything lays within us and yes this is God. No amount of outside cover will change the fact that all we have ever searched for is within the searching vehicle. I didn’t make this up, it’s a historical fact.
We do not need proof in this world, as you describe there is plenty and always has been, what we need is every single one of us taking the responsibility we have and start with very simple steps of taking good care of ourselves and make our life that of love and respect. We keep searching all the while the answers have been given to us time and again. It is us who are not willing to see and make the changes we know to be true and necessary.
My kids will sometimes wield the weapon of the word “normal” as a way to manipulate an agenda, for example, ‘why can’t we have a jumbo sized coke and a pack of m and m’s in the cinema like a “normal” family?’ You might wonder where I am going with this but my point is, as a society we have developed a version of “normal”. Even if that version is rotten to the core, it’s still seems to carry some weight in the eyes of humanity. When the earth was considered flat anyone that thought otherwise was abnormal. This mode of thinking is very similar to the scientist that frowns upon anyone that lives or thinks outside of their very narrow premotor. What Universal Medicine is bringing through is not weird or new and that is what this article points out so well, its not special or secret, it’s the same message all of the great teachers have been delivering since the beginning, and I suppose that’s the embarrassing part, because we have choose to continue to pretend like we don’t know or indulge in life playing dumb.
It’s an important point you make about the Ageless Wisdom and the teachings of Universal Medicine not being special or secret. The word ‘esoteric’ truly means our innermost, the connection we all equally have to God through our innermost heart, yet the dictionary meaning of ‘esoteric’ is defined as secret, mysterious, obscure, etc. Even the way we have bastardised the word ‘esoteric’ points towards a dismissal of the truth and how naturally innate it is, and how accessible and liveable it is equally to all.
That’s a great point, and also a great question as to why the truth isn’t never readily or warmly received. Could it simply be that if it were readily and warmly received then the truth, corruption and hidden ugliness of the world would be exposed, upsetting the comfort and status quo and from there things would have to change big time?
Yeah it can be difficult to see how irresponsible we’ve been and it’s uncomfortable to see the mess and hurt we’ve caused, but ultimately we can never escape it and we can only avoid it for so long before we need to accept the truth that we know so well and start to make different choices.
I agree much of what Universal Medicine presents has been presented before by many great men and women and philosophers and teachers of the past. Of course the words are slightly more modern but the wisdom remains the same. I love learning about the heritage and lineage of the Ageless Wisdom, it’s amazing to know at any point in time it’s always been there and the truth has always been able to be found.
Well said Joel. It takes a great openness and willingness to be honest about and accept the possibility that there is much more to life that what we currently base our lives on. Yet the fact remains that the search outside ourselves had led us to create and accept a world where greed, turmoil, abuse, war and increasing illness and disease exists on daily basis. As has been lived through the ages by many before us the ‘more to life’ or a ‘greater intelligence’ is very real, accessible and can be explored whenever we are willing to truly look within.
Brilliant Joel. We are handed the Truth on a plate time and time again but do we listen? The Way of The Livingness only works when we live the work, when we listen and put in to action that which we know is true. This takes dedication and a true love for oneself and from that all others and life itself. This is a natural progression and a coming to realise that love is who we are, and ,in truth, there is nothing else.
So well presented Joel – Could it be that the only real mystery to life is why we are choosing to not live the immensity of love we are from and inescapably connected to? Well, that’s no mystery either, when we take energy into account and understand the roots of life here on earth. Nope.. nothing mysterious – we are all knowing.
That’s the point: “we .. keep the focus on looking forward and dismiss suggestions to look within”, because this will change everything. All that is needed is found within. No hard effort or high intelligence needed. Connecting to the Ageless Wisdom and all will come up naturally. There is no support in individuality here. Just surrendering.
It is unless I feel for myself what is true then it means nothing to me. I know I am to feel everything that comes my way but sometimes I have to admit this is not easy. Universal Medicine supports me to feel in all areas of my life including Universal Medicine. Serge Benhayon encourages us to ask questions if we are unsure about any of the teachings. The Ageless Wisdom or as it stands today The Way of The Livingness is my past, present and future and it is a way of being and living that is consistently offering evolution through discerning the choices I make to live love in every moment.
“we are threatened by what you are saying” Perhaps the intelligentsia who rate their level of their intelligence by the number of letters after their name and the list of academic qualifications and the effort it has taken them to acquire them feel threatened by the possibility and unconscious knowing that the truth is within us all when we connect to our inner Ageless Wisdom and that this wisdom is there equally for all.
I think your last line nailed it Joel. Look ahead, and so then you avoid having to be where you are and seeing what’s going on. The future ends up being the same, because we don’t deal with what’s in the present. So really, the future is just an illusion if we choose to live in denial and avoidance.
The words from Pythagoras have truly lit my day Joel: “…Unhappy race! That never yet could tell, how near their good and happiness they dwell.”
In being a student of Universal Medicine, the awarenesses in regards to the responsible way we can live our lives, and the consistency of joy and love that can be known, have been shared on a scale I’ve seen nowhere else on this planet. And it is exactly as you say – this is not one man promoting ‘his way’, but a sharing of ‘The Way’ that is possible and actually natural and so very near to us all, if we are but willing to go there, and live from our inner-heart and our knowing of the divinity that rests there (within all equally so).
The discerning way in which I live has increased thousands-fold – and come yes, via such profound inspiration, yet essentially, from my own willingness to explore and discover just what is true, sustainable, and embracing of all, in life. I agree with Pythagoras – our true ‘good and happiness’ is right there for the living, if we say yes to it.
Love what you’ve shared and explored here Joel. Seems that history has shown that it’s a case of ‘shoot the messenger’, most especially if what he or she brings is something we have not yet come to ourselves and cannot ‘own’, and it shakes up our world view somewhat…
Thank goodness for those who have knowingly stood firm in the truth they have to share with all – without which, we’d undoubtedly be living in a world where the Dark Ages would look like a teddy bears’ picnic…
Joel, this is a brilliant blog. By choosing to connect to myself more and more, I am learning to embrace what you’ve shared: “words alone mean nothing, discern everything you hear, read by connecting to yourself, and feel what is being said.” When I don’t apply this, I go into reaction very quickly and then I close an opportunity to learn.
Can’t believe I have not read this before – quite brilliant.
“words alone mean nothing, discern everything you hear, read by connecting to yourself, and feel what is being said.” This is the truest form of learning – listening to all that is within.
Academia is seemingly a very open endeavour. In truth it is not. You are free to innovate within the accepted paradigms. Yet, if you come with a breakthrough that challenges it, probably, you will get crushed and ‘put in your place’.
Free-thinking – but only within an accepted, agreed framework. What an extraordinary caveat for those who are supposedly seeking to get to the ‘answers’ for humanity. It clearly explains why there is so much opposition when one who is outside of this group and who does not play within the rules, presents truth which is so simple that the academics feel threatened in their position of ‘knowledge is power’. For if the answers we seek as one humanity are really so simple – which they are – then what is the purpose of academia? Academia exists to justify its existence so anything that exposes this will be absolutely slammed.
Joel you said it all and you did not hold back a single bit. You have exposed the comfort most of us chose to live and that is really a bitter pill to swallow.
Wow what you share from the Ageless Wisdom is beautiful. Its always been there for us to access if we choose too, it is given to us time and time again.
Studying the Ageless Wisdom we find that the future has always been presented to us down the ages again and again and again. Great article Joel!
Well-said and very true Joel, I love some of the sayings from the past such as this one, “Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.” Hippocrates (400bc). The ageless wisdom has been presented for centuries, it is crazy that so many turn a blind eye and say the teachings are radical when in truth they are simply the answer to many, if not all, our ill conditions and issues.
It is so true Joel, many of the change-makers are castigated for going against the ‘norm’. Yet, all too often what they are saying is important for us to hear. There is so much corruption of scientific evidence, which is really coming to the fore at the moment, and we are seeing how easy it is for large pharmaceuticals and food industries to influence the research in order to influence our decision making. We really have to be discerning about what we hear, see and read.
Beautiful blog Joel. Perhaps it is too hard for us to swallow that bitter pill and so we prefer to bring in more resistance all to avoid age old teachings. As a so called intelligent race I can imagine it would be quite hard to admit the level and length of our folly.
This says it all, Joel. It spells it out as clear as day. . . . Do not stone the messenger because you do not want to hear a truth that may rock the comfortable boat you are sitting ‘pretty’ in.. .
Are we so stubborn and full of pride that we would rather deny the truth that we are faced with than swallow that ‘bitter pill’? I get the image of a world full of people with their fingers in their ears going ‘la, la, la…can’t hear you’!
What is the impact on our evolution if we are invested in the search, in being the seeker – for our identity? How does this affect our willingness to actually find and accept the answer? Do we reject the answer because we do not know who we are if we are not seeking? Such crucial questions to reflect upon. Is it possible that we ignore the truth we have been party to for eons, in favour of maintaining our sense of self-importance?
I love this blog Joel, thank you. You write in a beautifully simple way with such clarity – exposing the games we play to avoid responsibility in life. I particularly felt the truth in the statement that humanity is playing catch up with things that already exist. Our scientists are not creating truth but exploring it and ‘discovering’ it. It already is and we are using both the microscope and telescope to uncover what is already here. How important it is that we remain open and humble – for who knows what the next discovery might reveal – and hence, everything could be turned on it’s head in an instant.
I grew up a Catholic and while Jesus taught to look within often what I got from the church was something different- a feeling of being judged and that God was more powerful and that we needed to listen to the priest etc. It was a pecking order that did not offer a greater love or encourage the journey within to your own heart.
Accepting that we all equally hold all we are searching for within would be an almighty pill for humanity to swallow. Is it this that keeps us going around in circles and avoiding seeing the truth?
“Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us…” (Nelson Mandela). I had never heard this quote from Nelson Mandela before. It’s quite something to consider that we could be fearful of the power we hold within rather than the failure we so often tell ourselves we are.
““Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us…” (Nelson Mandela).” Could this be because to be in our power calls us to a greater level of responsibility?
The true quest for learning is to evolve at every opportunity that presents itself.
Someone reminded me recently- at the end of your life would you want to say- I lived a good life but it was measured or I lived a life and didn’t hold back- I brought everything I had to share- when I heard this it was a reminder of what is most important- not holding back and continuing to stay true to all you know and express that.
Brilliant to come back and read your blog again Joel, and to feel the simplicity that the very thing we have been looking for which was right under our own nose was in fact our own inner heart.
A great piece of writing Joel asking us to contemplate what has been with, and even within us, all along. Maybe it is time to get off the mouse wheel and realise there is nowhere we need to go and everything we need, we already have.
Thank you Joel. Fundamentally we are the cause of our own woes simply because we are not choosing to live from our essence – for if we did we would have immediate access to the Ageless Wisdom.
“Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us…” (Nelson Mandela). This is so, so true. Our light is what we miss and crave for the most, yet we are too afraid to live it and express it. This doesn’t make any sense yet it is what many of us, myself included are choosing, fear over expressing our light.
Very true chanly88, it doesn’t make sense that the very thing we truly want we dismiss and try to ignore. Connecting to the love we truly are and then learning to express this changes our lives in amazing ways, stopping the delay and saying yes to this love is a powerful way to live.
Thank you Joel, the quotes you shared are truly inspiring and the way you expressed in your blog is full of wisdom. This exposes how we have been avoiding the truth for centuries, endlessly trying to delay and divert our path of return to God.
A powerful blog Joel. “if it’s not proven, it won’t work”. But what they are actually saying is, “we don’t understand what you’re saying”, “we don’t have the means to test it” or “we are threatened by what you are saying”. Perhaps we have proved over and over again that the way we have been living doesn’t work. Universal Medicine presents what we all innately know but have chosen to ignore as it challenges our comfortable human existence.
“Radioactive uranium was still radioactive before Geiger counters existed, scurvy existed before we understood the role of vitamin C” – this just stopped me – being ignorant or unaware doesn’t change the truth. What is is.
“It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us…” (Nelson Mandela). Why are we so frightened by our greatness? It is the first step that counts, once we perceive the possibilities there is no going back to darkness and light has the power to pull others towards it. The Way of the Livingness is the light that we will all bathe in eventually.
This is a beautiful unraveling of what we know already but have chosen to forget.
There is so much truth in what you write Joel and it’s so refreshing to read! In reading this it moves something deep within me and I am left in the silent contentment of ‘Yep, this is how it is’
For the familiar is such a bind, we grapple and grip with no regard, for the fact that this is often false and our evolution, it does retard. One cannot be told a thousand times, just how brilliant their presence shines, it is he and she, who accept not prove, that delights and divinity are their true groove.
Should we ever pretend to wonder why we are in this situation that last quote summed it up pretty well. What I have experienced over the years of knowing of Universal Medicine is that there is an avoidance to the fact that we do already have and know everything and that it is within us constantly. There is a pain that comes with being aware of the fact that we chose to separate from this all knowing that is within us, but the part I feel I am just tickling the surface of is that it is a complete illusion to believe or pretend that choosing to avoid this pain is the answer. Instead I am finding it is much more supportive to keep choosing to remind myself that everything is within, the choices, causes, reasons, answers and healings for life. Thank you Joel.
Another power-full blog Joel clearly stating how the Ageless Wisdom has been around for eons and is ignored when in truth it provides all the answers. The quotes you have shared are a beautiful reminder of this.
Joel this is an exquisite blog that so beautifully illustrates the true ageless wisdom that we equally each have access to, that our answers lay within.
Joel thank you for yet another article that simply explains that the teachings of Universal Medicine are not new and how we as people have a history of being frightened of challenging the stays quo. I love the quote by Nelson Mandela as I feel it is true that we are more afraid of our incredible lights within as we would rather a familiar ordinariness and even misery that we live each day. That’s now changing for many people as they are realising what truly is within us, thanks for the support of Universal Medicine.
Yes I agree Joel, those messengers of truth throughout the centuries have definitely not received much of a welcome from the majority of society in their time; they have been verbally attacked, ignored, ridiculed, imprisoned and in some cases, killed, for the message that they brought. But the wisdom of their messages is still with us; as you say, “right under our noses”, in all of us equally so, and we are once again being reminded of this Ageless Wisdom that is held within us all, through the presentations of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Brilliant Ingrid, it seems that nothing really has changed in our quest for truth. We have been repeating the same ill patterns and behaviours for centuries by avoiding all that we have been presented. It is a blessing that we are now being presented again with the Ageless Wisdom through Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine with more and more people starting to wake up to absolute truth and embracing love.
For years, prior to coming across Universal Medicine I had the quote at the end of your blog Joel on my kitchen wall. I knew there was some truth in it, but in coming across Universal Medicine and particularly during sacred esoteric healing courses, and esoteric healing sessions with Universal Medicine Practitioners I have felt this light within me. A light that does have a power and where all of the insecurities, doubts, fears, worries and concerns become minuscule when we let the power of our light shine. It IS found within. No book or piece of knowledge can give us this feeling and connection and the wisdom that comes when someone is connected to their light is very healing and refreshing.
I agree Shevonsimon, we all carry our divine light, it is up to us how much we choose to shine our glorious light. No one but us who can make this choice to claim it and use it to its fullness, power and grandness.
Yes the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom have been given to us in different words and teachings all through the ages. This time around, Serge Benhayon with Universal Medicine, is presenting The Way of Livingness, and if we allow ourselves we feel the truth of it inside ourselves. This is not new, in fact we know it all.
Wow what an awesome blog, I love it. This is so true what you have written. I feel so empowered reading this Joel and it gives me greater understanding as to why some people react to truth. Thank you.
I love the truth with which you always write Joel. As you so poignantly said humanity is playing catch up trying to understand the truth… yet it has been in our hearts and under our noses all along.
Thanks Joel for sharing your blog , spot on its not new it has been said for thousands of years and its not a doctrine its a common sense we all share and know.
Joel, as you say; the messages that Universal Medicine has been presenting have been around for eons and readily available to everyone if they wish to take notice of them. To me this sums up what a lot of the resistance is about.
Awesome quotes… This wisdom really has been around for ages, I suppose it does make people uncomfortable to say “what have we been doing all of this time?”
The history of the great teachers and their schools throughout time stands as a testament to the fact that there are Universal truths. No matter how human life seems to develop itself, no matter what technology or skills we create, there is a light inside…unchanged and immutable. The great teachers remind of this, bringing us back to the understanding that there are claims founded in life and not in any laboratory on this earth. It is this great Lineage that is represented in the teachings of Universal Medicine the current representation of this great wisdom on earth today.
Awesome comment Rachel, I agree Universal Medicine does represent the greatest wisdom and universal truth. I have not come across anything else so amazing, that resonates the whole truth and wisdom consistently, and seeing people at Universal Medicine living this everyday I have become deeply inspired too.
Thanks Joel very well said. The simple and profound truths which have been presented to humanity time and again are given to us now by Serge Benhayon, I for one intend to make them my truths this time, for evermore.
Super Joel, your words here so full of sense: “What is curious about the teachings of Serge Benhayon and the ‘Way of the Livingness’ is not that they are radical, but that the teachings are not new”. Yes, because for me, how can the teaching of oneself ever be new or radical when the many lives we have lived through re-incarnation is taken into consideration – we find that we are all ‘as old as the hills’, with much ancientness within.
Great article Joel. We have had this protection racket on knowledge for such a long time as there is such an investment in our intelligence, rather than investing in our own innate wisdom. But does this really produce anything new? or are we just crossing over and over the same ground?
Joel I love the timeless perspective you present. The truth is ever present and within us, ready for the taking. Thank heaven that we have Serge Benhayon in our presence as a living reminder that the answer to all our woes is inside us, equally so. Listening to him has awakened so many signposts along the way that I was unable to decipher at the time, but which now flash like neon signs.
I love the quotes from the past. My question is do we wait for Serge Benhayon to be in the past before we recognise him as one of these wise prophets and then start to quote him. Or do we embrace the fact now and make the most of the teachings of Universal Medicine seeing that they are well ahead of their time? Why wait?
That’s right Danielle, ‘why wait?’. This is an awesome opportunity to learn about the Ageless Wisdom and return to truth. I am truly grateful and blessed to be here at this point in time to learn from the teachings of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
So true chanly88 I don’t want to look back in 40 years time and see a missed opportunity, so it makes sense to go for it!
Joel, what you say in your blog confirms the common sense of connecting within and not spending all our life searching for ‘the answer’ everywhere but under our noses. For so long I have held on to ideas and beliefs that have kept me stuck and it was not until I began to open up to the full beauty of the words as expressed by Serge Benhayon that things began to shift. For aeons I have resisted the simple truth that all I need to do is to connect to my inner heart and all the wisdom in the universe will be available. Now I can see and feel the magic of God is everywhere.
Thank you Joel and Susan, exactly why look any further for divinity.
This is worth repeating Susan and echos my own experience “For aeons I have resisted the simple truth that all I need to do is to connect to my inner heart and all the wisdom in the universe will be available. Now I can see and feel the magic of God is everywhere.” The magic of God is all around us when we embrace, accept and connect to universal truth.
Joel you are truly wise with what you have written. Acknowledging the ageless wisdom spoken from the greats, confirmed and felt in us all. The connection and power is within.
Awesome article Joel. I love how you share that ‘humanity is playing catch up trying to understand the world with the idea that we are continually on the edge of discovery’. We are constantly been challenged every day to learn and evolve and history shows this to be true. How much we learn is our choice. However, accepting that truth of what we are learning before ‘the weight of anecdotal evidence and eventually scientific evidence, become(s) too great to ignore’ can be the challenge. This is also where the resistance to truth and responsibility can disrupt the flow of our understandings of the world, and resist the important and necessary discoveries that are life changing for all. It is important today more that ever that we are open to both truth and responsibility. That we accept the truth of exactly where humanity is at and that it is our responsibility to correct and learn what needs to be corrected and learnt.
I love how the Ageless Wisdom is not something we own but allow ourselves to connect to. Scientist as you say are in many cases coming from a place where they seek recognition and acceptance. If they would allow themselves to feel their own glory and appreciate their grandness they would research with an open heart and an open mind and support us all to access more knowledge and wisdom that has always been there for us.
Beautifully outlined, Joel. Your blogs are always so straight forward and clear. For how long will our systems repeat the same mistakes and patterns? As long as we enjoy being numbed away from our true power, the systems will happily live from us playing small.
Universal Medicine steps forward, lovingly.
It does seem awfully strange when you put it like this Rod.
Beautiful Joel. I love the way you express and put things so clealy.
Two and a half years on from when you wrote this blog Joel, and we now have a new wave of comments, which is beautiful. I suppose that in time the truth that you have presented here will be somewhat history, and someone else will write a blog along similar lines presenting the same truth. Cycles, history, seers, truth, prophesy, all so timeless and in harmony.
This is a great blog Joel. Love it! The science cycle is exactly like you described it. Scientists sit on top of the hegemonic knowledge and only accept soft departures from it; departures that do not question the prevailing paradigm at its roots. We have to remember that scientists love recognition and acceptance, so they only accept what confirms them in their ‘grandness’. And, it is true that science makes progress thanks to soft departures. Yet, the real progress comes from major breakthroughs and from going back to the great wisdom we already have, as Hippocrates’s phrase reminds us. Universal Medicine presents a huge amount of existing wisdom to our authoritative consideration, wisdom that makes a lot of sense. So, even if I am not a Buddhist, the Dalai Lama’s statement is exactly how things work.
Thank you Joel – I love the quotes you have used, particularly the ones by Pythagoras, Hippocrates and the Dalai Lama – these are so well said and are indeed much of what is presented by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
It is an amazing time when one nominates to themselves that the truth has always been there and available to us in any moment. Although difficult to view back and see the experiences and situations we may have found ourselves in (knowing that there was another way at the time, but simply not chosen) with a compassion for the level of awareness that we held at the time. Our compassion is important here as it is the understanding of ourselves and our choices made that gives us the permission to accept what has been and to warmly and fully embrace who we are and what is ahead; not by ‘going anywhere’ ahead but by returning to the ageless wisdom we have always had access to within ourselves.
So true Cherise for when we nominate that we have made a mistake or could of handled something better it seems to lose its power over us and thus is both very healing and humbling.
Wowsers, such true words spoken.
There is nothing new under the Sun, it is said, and from what you have exposed and expressed this is so Joel. I am so grateful that this time around I have found what I was Looking for in Universal Medicine and the teachings of the Ancient Wisdom presented by Serge Benhayon and may many more of us connect to our inner light and Love through this work. Thank you Joel for a great blog.
Wow, I feel this enormous silence after reading your blog, no words needed, you have said it all, huge sharing Joel, thank you.
Joel you have hit the nail on the collective head of humanity (as you do so beautifully) – and now the question becomes if the answers to all our questions lie within why are we still looking outside of ourselves? Why do we seem to value some sense of pride over true wisdom and health?? I was once stuck in the pride of ‘expert knowledge’ but can attest that since studying with Universal Medicine I have come to realise we are all students and experts of ourselves if we so choose and my life has changed beyond measure.
This is very true. People seem to rely on the perceived security of the status quo instead of showing interest in the truth, which often leads to innovation. I remember when researchers found that stomach ulcers were caused by Helicobacter pylori bacteria but this was rejected by many doctors who would not change the way they treated this condition for decades. It’s important to recognise this trait in humanity because it may be the same consciousness that causes rejection or resistance to the innovation of Universal Medicine presentations.
Yep, Universal Medicine presents nothing new, and everything is simple, practical and available to all equally so. It does seem to be very uncomfortable for some, and there are some great points worth reflecting on that answer this.
Very well said Laura. That cuts right to the matter of it.
Wow Joel what a powerful blog!!!! It was an absolute joy to read all the commands of all the famous people. Yes – we are able to know the truth because the truth was always there as you so awesome expose. And I agree that this is a bitter pill to swallow.
Thank you Joel, I loved your article , so simple so true.
Such a great exposition. Interesting to consider throughout our history the Age-Less Wisdom presents truth, we continue to look outside of our selves… in abeyance here for centuries!!!… Thank you Joel
Wow what a great article Joel, ‘What if after all our searching, the answer has been right under our noses all along?’, I love the simplicity of this. Reading your article makes me realise how complicated we have made life, all the searching and looking outside of ourselves and ‘moving forward’, when the answers are all within and always have been.
Wow look no further than your own inner heart.
We’ve had the answers all along – I love it! I also didn’t realise science was so anti-evolution.
