Having arrived in this world during WW2 I entered a time of sombreness, duty and doubt about the future – that was my environment. By the time the war ended I and my two siblings were fed on a belief system that children were to be seen and not heard, sit up straight, don’t chew with your mouth open, you will think what I tell you to think and be good or the bogey man will get you. Early school followed that pattern, and I soon learned that you could not trust anyone. Piano lessons assured that I would be isolated and disciplined.
The years passed, but even when quite small I sensed somewhere within me that I was beautiful – and later on this sense sent me on many a wayward path as I grew older seeking to be recognised, acknowledged and accepted. This seeking continued into the marriage, into bearing children while living in a coal dust filled town in Victoria, being a community volunteer/fundraiser etc.
We moved to a beautiful fruit growing area near the Murray River, when as a young mother of three teenagers, I experienced an ‘epiphany’ if you like, as I felt despair had me wailing to the winds “there’s got to be more than this” – “there’s got to be something else” – my despair rang loud and clear – the response was rapid to fill my emptiness, the void, my need. Something happened – I started channelling – didn’t quite know what it was – but the words were so what I needed to hear – someone/something was listening and I believed it. It seemed to be true – it seemed to be love. But what did I have to gauge the quality of what I was hearing? I had no marker at that time.
Years later we moved further north to the most easterly point where I discovered the word Reiki – didn’t know what it was at first – but believed it must have been what I was looking for – this thing that I needed to fill the emptiness within. Met similar folk who constellated to my emptiness and we were all doing the spiritual new age thing together – all together in our non-connected-ness.
For nearly ten years I dabbled in all of those modalities, published a channelled book and still wondered why ‘I was not getting it’ – that void, that separateness would not leave me.
Then just into the year 2000 I had the opportunity to meet with Serge Benhayon – the knowingness that I had actually felt true love while sitting in that room – he didn’t say much – let me do most of the talking. But it was the ‘feeling’ that this short time had been profound and life changing for me. I felt ‘met’ without words as such being verbalised. It was a deep knowing from within that had no explanation. It just felt true.
I didn’t quite see the connection with my feeling of loss and my behaviour patterns at first – and continued on with learning about Aura Soma at a ‘healing’ centre – even though I mentioned what I was doing, Serge never said “you’d better not continue to do that” – and over the 12 years that I have known Serge Benhayon he has never ever said to me “don’t do that” – “do this” etc. – it has always been an unfolding of my own developing awareness of what was more appropriate for my body, and who I truly am – a slow unfolding admittedly and I still have a way to develop while learning that there is a choice in all that I do.
However, my life as it is now is awesome and amazing and I offer such appreciation and love to Serge Benhayon, all his family, the practitioners, the Clinic and Universal Medicine as the vehicle of the presentations, workshops, studies, etc. During this year of 2012 I have felt younger and more vitality than I experienced during my 40’s and 50’s. During those earlier years I did not understand the connection between all the headaches, bloating, sinusitis, obesity, lethargy and the food that I was taking into my body. With the Universal Medicine presentations I have attended there has been much clarity given to the effects of gluten and dairy on my body – it all makes such sense. When I think of the times that I deliberately took prescribed anti-histamine tablets to enable me to drink alcohol so my face and eyes wouldn’t swell up – just to fit in – to be seen to be doing the same as everyone else – totally ridiculous!
There now is the awareness of more joy in my life, relationships in general are becoming more open and natural, sleep patterns are way more healthy and healing. The practice of the gentle breath meditation is dissolving my anxiety levels, developing awareness of the benefits of being self loving and endeavouring to diminish complexities makes for more harmonious everyday living – living life now in simplicity to the best of my ability.
I have not personally read any of the mis-informed articles written by the journalists, nor listened to any of the sensationalised televised innuendos or lies as meted out by the hosts of those various shows that I have been informed about – I have not felt the need to do so – Love Just Is.
by Roberta Himing
Update: Since writing this blog Roberta Himing has come to inform herself widely regarding the newspaper articles and in particular the continued lies that appear and false allegations that appear online. “Inspiringly those initial words stand – ‘Love Just Is’ – and Universal Medicine stands testament to this, having not wavered in the face of the ill treatment of the press and of cyberbullies, however, at the same time there is a responsibility we all have in speaking out against the extremes of cyberabuse that is being increasingly normalised in our current society.”
As of August 2015 and 3 years after those first erroneous reports were published Roberta Himing continues to see Universal Medicine deal with the lies and innuendos, the untruths and the visciousness, with absolute grace and a consistency of care for people that has never faltered. In 2013 Roberta Himing received Esoteric Connective Tissue Therapy through Universal Medicine an experience that would support her to transform her understanding and relationship with constant pain.

The Truth about Universal Medicine 
That thing, that inner glimmer that never goes away is such a beautifull thing. No matter what we go through we still have that reference within us that can guide us back home again.
And when we do just let it be it is all there – and we realise it has been all along.
I dread to think what sort of piano lessons assured you would be” isolated and disciplined”. The piano is such a gorgeous way to express yet this sounds far from your experience Roberta.
The feeling of emptiness and unsettlement is ever present. There is nothing we can do about it. It is a place we are destined to return after whatever we do. In front of this, we can either try busyness to avoid being with ourselves or we can ask what is going on and what can I truly do to deal with what causes the emptiness. There is nothing like settlement. The respite we get is everything.
What I took from your blog is that we know that we are missing something and we can’t fill the empty space with anything else than the true us, our essence or true love – however you call it – so even though we might not know what we miss we definitely know when we find it again.
‘Love just is’ – so true. I love what you share in your update, and I agree – even though Love just is, and needs no protection or justification, it is our responsibility to call out what is not.
Roberta I too have had that same feeling “there’s got to be more than this” I just couldn’t fathom out what it was until I came across Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, and then I instinctively knew.
‘When I think of the times that I deliberately took prescribed anti-histamine tablets to enable me to drink alcohol so my face and eyes wouldn’t swell up – just to fit in’…. Roberta this is making me wonder if any of your family or friends who knew you were taking medications so you could drink alcohol simply suggested to you to just not drink it. After all I am sure if it was a food you wouldn’t eat it again and would call it an allergy, so why is alcohol different?
We do have a responsibility to speak up against the extremes of cyber abuse… we have a responsibility to speak up against everything that is not true in our lives. Changes are taking place in areas of our lives but we have to ask ourselves as to whether the changes truly supports us, all of us or does it further deepen the mayhem we are living in.
Roberta I had many forays also into the new age spirituality and although it seemed helpful and harmless at the time I can tell you that it was in fact for me very harmful. I am currently aware of this because my body now has to heal every step I made, and the closer I get to my soul, the more that comes up to be reviewed, felt and discerned. The more my body shows me the true harm of the new age and what it did to me personally the more I realise it’s just another way we are led away from ourselves and from our soul, from our inner qualities, and the from equality we each hold via our connection to our innermost heart. One of the draw cards of the new age is energy, yet though this appeals to the fact we know there is more than the physical, it does not look at the quality of energy which is vital to know, because what source of energy is it we are experiencing – spirit or soul? Without this discernment we can be deeply harmed by the energy of spirit, as the only healing and true restoration comes from the energy of our soul. In the work of Universal Medicine the discernment between spirit and soul is very up front, and they are the only organisation I know of that takes this level of energetic responsibility.
Love just is – beautiful. Showing us in depth of care what love does when evil is spread – not react, simply be and stay steady beholding the love that one is.
It is beautiful to receive the blessings when we say yes to living from our hearts as they are not just for self but for the good of all. Thank you Roberta.
You are so right It is both crazy and ridiculous the things that we do to override the body! ‘I deliberately took prescribed anti-histamine tablets to enable me to drink alcohol so my face and eyes wouldn’t swell up – just to fit in – to be seen to be doing the same as everyone else – totally ridiculous!’ There is no judgement here as I know I have done similar things in the past but your honesty here made me see what we do more clearly. We put so much effort into overriding our body or fitting in with people if we put even half the amount of effort we do with this into truly reconnecting to ourselves and our Soul the world would be a completely different place. I love the testimony you have given regarding Serge it is so true .. his love, lived love, depth of care, tenderness, non imposing way, and genuine love of people helps us to see a different way without any words being spoken. pure gold. And yes he never ever ever has told anyone what to do or not do. The journalists that write all the lies about him would do good to take a leaf from his book so to speak.
It’s interesting how most spiritual modalities leave you aching and seeking for more – it’s a bit like you’re thirsty and you can never get enough water in your glass – and while we are seeking in this way we can never settle, where as the approach from the soul leaves you knowing you were born with a full glass and that glass always remains full no matter what happens to you.
It is insatiable but has to be as it can never quell the unrest simply because it is not it.
Not once has Serge Benhayon or Universal Medicine faltered in their dedication or commitment to truly supporting and caring for everyone equally throughout this whole process. To me this speaks volumes of the strong integrity and immense love that Serge Benhayon lives on a daily basis and continues to inspire so many people with.
I remember having ‘there must be more’ thoughts and feelings. These came at all different points in my life and from all different angles. It could have been low point but also high points, there was no consistency to when they came, they just came. It was like the opening to see when something wasn’t as it seemed, similar to get a secure job and when you haven’t got that you think that when you do everything will be fine. You get the job and then the feeling is still there and so you have something else ready to go to chase next ‘thing’ that will answer the question only to find that’s not it either. Some things can take days and others years but you still keep coming back to the question ‘there must be more’. Since Universal Medicine I haven’t had that question come up, it doesn’t supply the answers but more made the road clearer so I could follow the path I already could see.
To those that say to themselves “there has to be more”, we can share with them that they are absolutely right and if they want to feel into it, Serge Benhayon will help them to open that door.
Thank you for sharing Roberta. I can recall the many ‘trips’ I got sucked into in the past when searching for the elusive missing ingredient which by the way was my connection to self. It was Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that presented that we need to discern everything as energy first as to whether it is harming or healing because everything is energy and therefore everything is because of energy. This can be clearly felt in the body and in the end if we come back to our body we find that the body never lies and can be the true marker of what energy we have chosen to be in at any given time.
Thank you Roberta for an inspiring life story, in your continual search for truth, and the amazing connection that was offered by Serge Benhayon by just being in his presence, feeling the true love that lives within us all, so profound.
There is more to life than what we can see and/or touch. When going into the world of that immaterial part of life I haven’t known of anyone other than Serge Benhayon to explain the other part of life as clearly and confidently as one may do if they were to explain any part of our physical world.
We can think we have answers or have found something that “helps” but at the end of the day, if our body is telling us a different story, then perhaps the answers we have found aren’t actually answering all the questions.Universal Medicine is the kind of thing you know is absolutely true, its not something you know because you like what its about or because you think the books Serge writes are relatable. Its just true and every move Serge makes confirms a feeling you have in your cells.
That internal calling ‘There has to be more to life than this’ is answered when you attend presentations of Universal Medicine and are reintroduced to the Ageless Wisdom that has been telling us the truth that it is in the way we choose to live that will open our awareness to the truth of love and purpose.
I loved reading this. It’s such a common theme running through many of the blogs from the Students of Unimed, myself included, that the desperate search for ‘something else’ came to a halt we met Serge Benhayon and reconnected to the Ancient Wisdom we all hold within.
What an incredible life story Roberta. The story of your life is what is truly newsworthy.
At the moment when we have the epiphany “there has to be more to life than this” is when we need to be super discerning, but that is when we are often quite vulnerable and will take on any old thing that seems to offer a filling of the void.
Roberta, you are not alone in experiencing the struggle of your physical symptoms courtesy of what you were choosing to eat as in the fast-paced world that we live in today we are not taught to be reflective nor as transparent and aware of just how interrelated the ripple effect of all that we do affects how both we and others feel.
Yes polar opposites Jaime, and what I always felt from the spiritual new age was loads of arrogance, better than and superiority of knowledge or evolvement over others. I’ve never meant a man more humble of what he knows he is connected to than Serge Benhayon.
Well said Roberta, I too was hooked in by my own lack of self worth and emptiness, believing I needed to be fixed by practitioners that believed they needed to be fixed, as well. As I know now, the energy in which I sought healing or looking for more, is the same energy I received back. Much to appreciate when we see through the avenues that are void of truth and re-connect to who we truly are… that for me too was Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
So cool Roberta. The modalities and overall philosophy presented by those who represent Universal Medicine has definitely been life changing for me. I no longer view my life as something I have to get through, or that it has to be a struggle if I want any rewards or that there is anything to prove. Nothing is asked of you other than to just be yourself and I say that lightly – it indeed feels like a HUGE ask, but the reality is that it is us who have walked away from that in the first place, so really we’re just being asked to return to ourselves and we are lovingly supported in doing that.
The difference I have experienced with Serge Benhayon, from every practitioner and presenter I had met before him, is that here was a man who didn’t seek to ‘hook’ or ‘tantalise’ whatsoever. He offered no ‘quick fix’, no escape and no masking of that which we must truly face, in order to reclaim ourselves back in the power of who we truly are. He held back nought in exposing that which was not true, and in delivering all that is.
And, he walked his talk… Living and breathing his commitment to all and the All – humbleness and power in one, with no need to be put on a pedestal, for the love that he lives holds all as equally capable of living and embodying the same.
This is NOT the way of the new age. The new age puts forth its teachers and so-called ‘healers’ as ‘more’ than you – as holding something you don’t have, but that you need… as such, it prays upon our emptiness, our lack of self-claiming, and our void of true and known worth within.
I also knew I had met the real deal in Serge Benhayon, Roberta. Having spent many years constantly learning and seeing through many imposters, my discernment levels were high, and to this day, I am nought but deeply inspired by him and his ceaseless commitment to living the way of the soul, here on this earth.
So beautiful Victoria what you share here about Serge Benhayon – your deep respect and appreciation for him and all that he brings is deeply felt – thank you.
It’s interesting to reflect back truly, on forays into the spiritual new age, and whether they truly brought any sense of a real and lived connection – to oneself, and to one’s place in the life that we lead. I remember dabbling in reiki, in aura soma a little (never did a course), crystals and more Roberta. I remember reading books that were channelled, and even thinking that someone who channelled another supposedly ‘higher being’ was somehow ‘further ahead’ than myself along the spiritual path.
Reflecting back also, I see nothing but emptiness in every last skerrick of these forays. They hooked me into currents of energy and thought patterns that took me into further withdrawal from the actual living of my life, and the claiming of a lived relationship with who I am and engagement with the world.
They tantalised with ‘energetic experiences’ that confirmed yes, that there was definitely ‘more’ than our physical reality – yet was I truly discerning that there were different types or sources of energy? One truly founded in His Love, and one feigning to be so, but actually very and deliberately harmful – designed to hold back our true light and the power of actually embodying it.
There is so much awaiting the one who has not dealt with the desolation within – to take him or her further away from themselves. It’s harm and ugliness needs to be seen – but won’t be (seen), until we ourselves choose to heal that which has left us feeling such a void within. As your story attests to Roberta, this healing is well and truly possible – what’s occurred for you is amazing and to be celebrated deeply.
“I felt ‘met’ without words as such being verbalised.” I remember my first meeting with Serge and I had some questions. One of the them was very personal and I held it back from asking. Serge knew and said you don’t have to ask any questions if you do not want too. This response was different to any experience I had before with a sear. He knew. He felt me. He connected to me. I was understood. My hurt was honored and I was honored for the sensitive tender man I was. The energy in our connection I could not deny. And it is still there stronger than ever ..
When we do ask for the truth it will be revealed “- the response was rapid to fill my emptiness, the void, my need.” Truth is not to be scared of but to be embraced in all its Glory revealing and exposing what is not true.
Absolutely truth is not to be sacred of, we should openly heartedly embrace its all and to expose and let go of what is not true.
‘There has to be more’ / ‘there has to be another way to live’ Thank God for Serge Benhayon who tirelessly presents the answers and understanding to this call. A way that doesn’t demand we follow but remains ever open and supportive should we choose to take the steps and do the unveiling ourselves.
“Love just is”. So true.
Isn’t it beautiful when we meet someone such as Serge Benhayon who doesn’t try to fix things but instead, in a graceful and non-imposing manner allows us to unfold in our own way and in our own time.
You describe your life so poetically, how you unfolded the misguided voices was very profound, realising that you had not yet developed a true maker of quality in your daily life made it difficult to know what is leading you where but you found your way home. Your experience and appreciation of finding that marker within yourself with the support of Universal Medicine is beautiful.
There is indeed more to life than what appears on the surface – much, much more. In fact an unfathomable amount of more!!! Hence the tension we feel calling us back. As you have clearly shared when we start to connect to and be open to, the more we have to discern who or what is offering it. More love, truth, joy, harmony and stillness is always available and offered by heaven…. as is more illusion, harms and all this that is not love is available and offered by the astral. It all comes down to which energy and source we choose.
Thank you Roberta for sharing your journey back to love, what a complete turnaround your life has taken since meeting Serge Benhayon, what a beautiful reminder of the power of true love in our life and how this inspires and supports us to let go of what holds us back from experiencing this deep love.
I think that as long as we are seeking relief from symptoms then we are not discerning enough of what we are getting or receiving, sadly so. We usually just want the symptoms to disappear without necessarily knowing why the symptoms have arisen. Universal Medicine is great in many ways, one being that they help you look at why things occur instead of trying to get rid of just the symptom.
Where I live, there is a plethora of spiritual healing modalities on offer, everything you could possibly imagine and no one questions how far out or damaging they are. I’ve experienced most of them and also found in that the circles of people always included heavy drug abuse. Again, no one questioned it. Why? Interesting that Serge Benhayon is being attacked in the media for being a point of difference and something that is actually having huge positive effects on peoples lives. Why are people questioning this? A man making a difference.
What I see repeated over and over in Universal Medicine student blogs is the healing received from being truly met by Serge Benhayon – seen for who we truly are in essence and held in absolute love with zero imposition. Serge is a truly incredible man inspiring change just by being as he is.
There is something so simple about this blog. There is a constant searching and longing that underlies everything we do until we feel the fact that what we are searching for is within and all the searching just takes us further away. I have found the Gentle Breath Meditation to be incredibly practical and the connection to my body the most logical way to reconnect to that feeling of being at ease with myself, no longer searching.
Roberta I can so easily relate to “what was and what is now” as I was also one who at some level knew that there was more to life than what I was living, but couldn’t figure out what it was, until I attended my first Serge Benhayon workshop many years ago. To sit in that room listening to Serge and knowing in every part of me that I had finally found what I had been searching for, that I had found my way back home, brought a joy, beyond description, that has never ever left me but has continued to grow with every passing year.
If we remain truthful to ourselves, the only thing that remains true is what stands the passage of time as being true. Each of us has tried a host of things. Many of us have said, this is it. Yet, not many of us have had the courage to say, well I thought this was it but is not. Many people instead think: this (may be it) is not it but I am not willing to renounce to it and start anew. Choices.
All the lies and accusations of Universal Medicine being a cult make no sense when there is no “don’t do that” – “do this” but quite the opposite, always the encouragement if not ‘request’ to consider for oneself and make one´s own responsible choices based on what one knows to be his or her individual truth.
Dear Roberta,
I really love how even in the exploration of the horrible lies that have been printed in the media, still the sense you have that “Love just is” remains. Such a super powerful three words.
Roberta there’s something very wholesome about your story, like a coming back to where you came from – I love it.
Hi Roberta, this is a great living testimony of all Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have to offer. It is also a great expose of the emptiness of the New Age movement.
Roberta what a true inspiration you are. You write with such gentleness, grace and authority. Your words are so uplifting and unimposing. Simply a true testament of how Universal Medicine has served to turn your life around. I feel your mere presence heals. Thank you for such a wonderful document of a life lived in truth. There is another way.
Knowing the full extent of lies and false accusations that have been able to be widely spread against Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine through media and the internet – it has become increasingly obvious the imperative we all have to stand up and speak out at corruption, and falsehoods and malicious intent. Otherwise we let our lives slide into the fear, seeming helplessness and oppression of another Dark Age – but we must understand that this is completely of our own choosing – and it starts with speaking up when we know something is not true.
Serge Benhayon, a man who knows the truth of love, and continues to love all without favour, detractors and student alike, no matter what nonsense is thrown his way. He remains himself, he knows who he is.
Thank you Roberta. How strange it is that no one bats an eyelid when someone takes up Reiki, drinks alcohol or poisons themselves with food. Serge Benhayon has been viciously attacked in the media and yet he presents pure common sense. This speaks of corruption to me and of there being vested interests in ensuring that people remain blind to the truth.
We only have to consider the volume of ‘recreational drugs’ and excessive alcohol intake that is occurring in our society today, or the seemingly ever increasing amount of spiritual new age ideals available to us to realise that far too many of us are feeling a void, an emptiness in their everyday that they are trying to either numb or fill from an external source, from the outside in.
Thank you Roberta for the reminder that to be met for who we truly are requires no words, this for me has been more and more prominent in my life as of late. No words are required and nothing is needed to be done to connect to ourselves or meet another.
Roberta, your line ‘love just is’ says it all. Anything else is superfluous, and at the end of the day we can all come back to the simple truth that love is there, ready and waiting. And it’s for us to uncover as we return slowly but surely as your blog captures so well to who we are underneath it all, love.
Although ridiculous it is sometimes even comical the extent we override the signs from the body and our innate feelings… taking anti-histamines to be able to drink alcohol is an impressive example of this and what we are willing to ignore to fit in. How gorgeous for you to have come to the realisations you have and transformed your life to live the harmony you do now everyday without any pills or potions, just breath.
“All together in our non-connected-ness.”
The irony of this line says it all. How deep down we have an innate knowing that we are designed to live and breathe as One, together in harmony and in complete connection to the All that we are; our Soul, our love, our light, our brothers and our Father/God. Yet we have fashioned a way of living here on Earth that steers us very far from this truth. In this aching loneliness we endlessly search outward for something that can only be found within. And in this desperate quest, we look for everything and anything but the one thing that truly saves us from our misery – the saviour light that is our love, burning its eternal flame within us always.
Thankyou Roberta, for sharing your path back home. I too was way led by reiki and all the other glistening trappings of the spiritual new age which do naught to alleviate the suffering we feel when we separate from the body of love that is our true self, our Soul and pander instead to the whims of the spirit, the body of lesser light that got us into this mess in the first place!
Roberta, it is amazing to read your blog, this really stands out for me, ‘my life as it is now is awesome and amazing and I offer such appreciation and love to Serge Benhayon, all his family, the practitioners’, it is very rare to read about someone feeling awesome and amazing, i do not encounter this everyday, apart from when I attend Universal Medicine courses, what Serge Benhayon is presenting is truly life changing and you and many others who have been inspired by Serge Benhayon are a testament to this.
Thank you Roberta for sharing your experience of Universal Medicine – further confirmation of the integrity of this organisation.
Thank you Roberta and Shelly, I agree, “love just is” and how simple but true is this statement. God is love, we are love as the Sons of God, so much so that the joy that I feel emanating from the power of this blog is life changing. When we are “developing awareness, of the benefits of being self loving and endeavouring to diminish complexities makes for more harmonious everyday living” this is love in action!
Spot on Roberta, Serge Benhayon offers everyone equally true love and support, which is deeply inspiring to us all.
Roberta I love your sharing as I too was caught up in the New Age Movement (Had a friend who channelled ) and went to many different healers looking for a cure all. When I got to know Serge Benhayon I started to understand the difference between truth and airy fairy words without any depth or true love . The start of a completely different understanding of what life on Earth is about.
Thank you Roberta a enjoyable read.
It is indeed true that as the horrendous lies about Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and the Benhayon family are told they continue to deal with this with the utmost integrity and grace. With absolutely no degradation! Thank you for sharing your experience Roberta, as the only way to counter lies IS to tell the Truth.
No matter where we go or what people may say Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon have remained steadfast in their presentations on Love. Never ever have I felt a speck of judgement, criticism or comparison in regards to my choices and those of others. ‘Love just is’ and Serge is the walking, talking, living proof of these words.
Thank you for this honest sharing Roberta, like you I have never heard Serge Benhayon tell anyone what to do, he has been immensely supportive and encouraging to help people differentiate which is our true choices and which are coming from ideals, beliefs, or impositions that we have taken on.
A beautiful sharing Roberta, ‘Love Just is’ is a simple yet powerfull reminder of the true feeling of love and how it transforms everything in our lives and supports everyone around us equally as well.
I feel it to be true also Anna, ‘Love just is’ is s very simple. I wonder why it is that we so often easily fall for the enticement of comfort and familiarity that ultimately tends to make our lives so complicated. It seemed at times that we chose or allowed somebody/something else to be pulling our strings so to speak, in disregard to the truth and what we really were missing, that is, connection with our loving divine aspect that is within us all.
This is beautiful Roberta. It’s so true that Serge Benhayon never tells us what to do yet the way he inspires is like no other and rings true to the very depth of us. Nothing else comes close to addressing the loneliness and disconnection I have been in. I have been reintroduced to myself and have discovered that love just is.
Thank you Amanda for your comment and I heartily agree with your reference to Serge Benhayon i.e. “…the way he inspires is like no other and rings true to the very depth of us.” It seems I have to pinch myself to confirm that yes, I am here at this time, by choice, to be able to attend the presentations of The World Teacher, Serge Benhayon at the Ageless Wisdom Teachings. I love your words “…I have been reintroduced to myself….” and feel this to be true for me also.
‘…developing awareness of the benefits of being self loving and endeavouring to diminish complexities makes for more harmonious everyday living…’. What a line. Diminishing complexities for me is the key, obviously, to simplicity. Holding on to the idea that life is a struggle has not worked in my favour one tiny bit. There is another way, it’s just a question of whether I choose it or not.
I agree with your words Carola, “…this highlights how divinely designed our bodies are in that they clearly reflect when we are experiencing union with our Soul….” and I have found even if it is just for a moment there is no mistaking the sense of deep and profound Love, there is no doubt – it just simply is.
“….over the 12 years that I have known Serge Benhayon he has never ever said to me “don’t do that” – “do this” etc. – it has always been an unfolding of my own developing awareness of what was more appropriate for my body,..” This is such a true representation of the completely un-imposing, non-directive nature of Serge.
Such a beautiful sharing Roberta – In your words ‘It has always been an unfolding of my own developing awareness’ – Just knowing that there must be more to life than just existing – and know that we are truly being listened too without judgement or criticism the pressure eases and the healing begins as we make those gentle changes through our own choice to do so.
Thank you Marion – that is true “Just knowing that there must be more to life than just existing…” otherwise one can so easily reach a low point of wondering what is the point of it all anyway. And I discovered that the point was to look past what we may have seen as the hurts and the painful experiences that we had encountered early in our life, or perhaps even seeing choices made through clear eyes, where we may have perhaps chosen the inappropriate fork in the road, and see all of these as opportunities to look a little deeper as to the meaning, the true purpose of these experiences. Through attending the presentations of Serge Benhayon I learned that true love and the answers to all that we are seeking are within, a place of stillness that we connect to ourselves, each one of us, if we so choose.
Wow the line that most resonated with me within your blog Roberta was “love just is” – it says it all and reflects that when you have felt that within you, there is no need to question. It is so lovely to feel the truth of that and know that we each are responsible for living that love in the world.
Jade thank you, that is what I have discovered that “love just is”, and to allow myself to realize that harmony can be felt by just choosing to reconnect with my own gentle breath and reclaiming that still place within – even during a moment when we may be facing some challenge or difficulty – to know that we alone are responsible for choosing our experience.
How totally awesome is that – concluding that one does not have to give one’s power away to another or to an outside force or influence to find one’s true value and deep connectedness to that divine aspect within of each one of us. I know that I probably would not have been aware of these as revelations without my having chosen to meet Serge Benhayon and attend the Universal Medicine presentations.
The words “Love just is” are so claimed here Roberta and I feel they convey the essence of this beautiful blog.
It’s beautiful to read your comment Leonne – as you say “Love just is”. It confirms for me that if I keep life simple I am allowing love to be the cornerstone of my life. When love is free of need it comes in a way that is unimposing and allowing.
Thank you Susan and Leonne, yes, I have, through the freely chosen connection with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have learned that “love just is”. I agree with your words and also have found that keeping simplicity as the conerstone of my life makes for a life with less tension and anxiousness, feeling any stress that may arise being dissolved by coming back to my gentle breath, connecting with me once again.
Roberta, what came through loud and clear to me reading your blog was your total acceptance of yourself as a loving human being. This is a gentle reminder to me to keep things simple and focus on building the foundation of self love, acceptance and appreciation. Thank you.
Thank you Gilesch for your comment and I agree with your words “…keep things simple and focus on building the foundation of self love, acceptance and appreciation.” I am finding such a deep truth to these words – I am currently very aware of this ‘building the foundation’ – I am finding more and more that this is being confirmed in so many way.
Absolutely true Gilesch, we cannot really be honest until we accept the truth of how we have been. Acceptance without judgment allows us to feel the depth extent and implication of our actions fully, and be okay with it, and really learn from it so that the same patterns are not repeated.
Ah this is so true Bernard, being honest and taking responsibility for our choices – not with remorse, judgement or regret but an understanding of why we made these choices in the first place, and in the knowing that we can make different choices to reconnect us back to who we truly are.
Amazing how life changes, when we connect to the truth. Serge Benhayon is the truth- because truth doesn´t want or invest in anything, like you said, he never said: don´t to this- truth just holds and accepts.
As you Roberta ‘Love Just Is’ – and that is all that I need to understand and accept. The way of life that I have come to at the age of nearly 70 way surpasses anything that I have known before. I can relate so easily to the childhood that you write about and it feels so hard and complex now that I have experienced the truth of love and of expressing that love in my life, and this is what I am continually offered by attending the workshops and courses presented by Serge Benhayon – an endless stream of love.
Thank you, Roberta. What was and what is now is simply miraculous. I may be criticised for ‘doing these courses’, condemned for not drinking alcohol anymore or for ‘looking’ thin, but I live with a vitality that is simply beautiful and unheard of in life today.
Thank you for sharing Roberta, I laughed out loud at the antihistamine story, as my skin would always flare up when I drank…and I used to resent my body for it?! Now I see my body talking to me as such a blessing.
I laughed too pernillahorne, as my nose used to run when I drank, and I too resented it, so the anti-histamines were always in my bag, at the ready. My body must have been delighted the day I finally began to listen to it!
Thank you for sharing your experience Roberta, so others may also learn about the dangers of need and emptiness. This lines rings very true for me and explains much of the spiritual new age world and the so called phenomenons of the spirit – ‘my despair rang loud and clear – the response was rapid to fill my emptiness, the void, my need.’
Crazy that the world has become so completely desensitised to what feels ok or not – that regularly drinking large amounts of alcohol is considered so normal and to do otherwise so strange, that we will do things like take drugs (anti-histamines) just so we can cope with the effects that alcohol has on us. Time to look at what drives these enormous pressures on society to drink and take drugs.
Misinformed articles can sell whatever fabrications they choose to but the proof of what Universal Medicine presents lies in amazing stories such as yours where using a simple gentle breath meditation has the power to diminish the complexities of life and enable a life of harmonious living – something that most of humanity would pay good money for if it was pill but seem to struggle with when self-responsibility is the needed ingredient.
An amazing story of transforming your life Roberta, how lovely to have chosen to connect to the beautiful woman you are.
Beeing seen to be doing what everyone else is doing is probably the biggest trick that has been played on us, ever. I have definitely fallen for this and played it out in all kinds of ways, whether that be through drinking to fit in, eating certain foods to fit in and probably even dressing to fit in. I’m still learning to accept myself for who I am and not someone that has a role to play to keep people happy. It’s sometimes not easy and its a work in progress, but my reminders come from people like you Roberta who are making choices that honour themselves and trust that they are enough.
Thank you Elodie for your comment – your words bring to mind that so many of us have come from ‘wanting to please others’ and one incident I suddenly recall from more than half a century ago, when I had absolutely no connection to ‘me, myself nor I’, when underneath the coat of people pleaser was when, early in a serious relationship, after a slight verbal/emotional disagreement, I said “I can be whatever you want me to be – just tell me what you want me to be!” – one has to wonder who or what was ‘pulling my strings’ – who/what was the puppeteer ? I thank God for the gift of wisdom that is being revealed as a result of meeting Serge Benhayon and attending the Universal Medicine presentations.
Dear Roberta I really appreciated reading about your experiences in your life. I feel it is truly incredible that you have made the choice to make your life more self-loving and harmoniously as older person. Very inspiring!
I enjoyed reading this Roberta as it just goes to show another aspect of how the work of Universal Medicine is available for everyone. Regardless of our age, life experiences etc, this way of living is available to all, universally so. That empty feeling you mentioned does not go away by any of the conventional or spiritual means that are in the world today, selling us ‘the answer’. Only from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, whose approach is that everything, all answers, is within us, have I found a means of healing that empty feeling.
I agree that in every meeting I have had with Serge Benhayon over the years I have always felt truly met, respected completely as an equal and understood without one ounce of judgement or criticism or even reaction. Remarkable for any human being and all of this before he even starts talking! We all totally underestimate the power of presence and how healing or harming our presence can be.
I agree with your words Andrew – and I had to smile when I came finally to almost the end of your comment ….and all of this before he even starts talking!” I also have found that is the truth of it, “We totally underestimate the power of presence…” quite humbling really.
Such grace we are gifted if we but only would be aware of it.
I thank God for having met Serge Benhayon, and having had the opportunity of coming to feel the whole Benhayon family and their truly loving ways, and attending the life-changing presentations of Universal Medicine.
I also I sensed somewhere within me that I was beautiful – and it took a really long time to to shake the empty desire or longing to be recognised, acknowledged and accepted, or want to be special. This feeling only shifted when I started to accept myself and appreciate what I had to contribute and then appreciate that in people around me. For me the quick fixes of Reiki and Aura Soma looked right and I desperately wanted them to work but there was no real change maybe short term relief from symptoms but not fundamental life long change that was needed.
This is very beautiful to read, the quality of the writing and the appreciation within it is felt and deeply appreciated. As you say “Love Just Is”.
Thank you Roberta for this beautiful sharing of your story. I love the clarity with which you end your blog and the steadiness that lies in your words…Love Just Is.
Universal Medicine has supported my wellness with understanding foods and their impact on the body too. Once I started to feel what I eat and take away the things I am reacting to with bloating or allergy I have felt so much clearer and have so much more energy. Incredible common sense, very real to life healing is what I have found with Universal Medicine.
Thank you Roberta, your post shows us that at any time in our life we can be re-connected with the truth we know, and the love we are from.
Thank you Roberta for the honesty and sharing of a past that is very common to the way most of us have lived. I myself have also looked everywhere to fulfill the emptiness and it was not until I met Serge Benhayon that I knew I found what I was looking for – the truth of how it all is and delivered in and with love.
The thing I would say about Universal Medicine is that it just makes sense – it is practical and simple. Over time as I started to listen to my body more, I got to know the marker of the real me and the marker of the false me – feeling elated, stimulated, happy – all the things that in the past I would have thought were a good thing to feel. This is what makes it so simple, having that clear marker, knowing I am either the real me or not.
I too have experienced that ‘Serge Benhayon has never ever said to me “don’t do that” – “do this” etc.’ .
Just a steadfast and total support that I do know myself and loving patience whilst I find that part of me and learn to trust it.
The feeling of coming home I continually experience as I feel what is going on for me and honouring that is enough for me.
How true Roberta, Love just Is. I had a similar path of finding Reiki and other modalities in my search to find the connection that had alluded me for so long. I never realised until I met Serge Benhayon that the pain was actually from missing myself. Devastating pain. Universal Medicine provides the tools to find our way back to our true selves and the simplest of beginnings was just to introduce the gentle breath and self-love. The personal magic all unfolds from there.
Beautiful to read Roberta, that we are raised to be disconnected from ourselves and that that it is what our education system actually does to us. It leaves us void of any connection with the beauty we innately are and leads to a life where we are constantly seeking on the outside for something we actually have to look inside. Therefore it is such a blessing to have Serge Benhayon around, who shows a different way of living, who shows us a way of living that is based on love, and starts with building the love that lives in ourselves first.
Thank you Roberta. We all know true love when we feel it because that’s who we are. It’s amazing that a select few have decided to react to it as if it’s the worst thing in the world, in a sense they are going against themselves not just Universal Medicine. So beautiful that you listened to yourself and what you know is true.
This was lovely to read ‘The years passed, but even when quite small I sensed somewhere within me that I was beautiful’ we all have an innate quality within that needs to be appreciated and nurtured.
Over the years, I have met and known many people who were committed to the spiritual new age through one modality or another, and whilst I saw many claim to have healed much as a result, never did I truly see any of those people truly change. Never did I see their bodies reflect the enlightenment they claimed to have, or the wisdom they claimed to have acquired. If something is true, then it should be true for all aspects of life, and for all of life, including the physical. What has inspired me about Universal Medicine is that there is no hypocrisy, or aspect of life that it does not address with simplicity, nor fail to consider when presenting the fact that all of life is inter-connected. And whilst Serge Benhayon talks much about energy and the metaphysical, never does he ignore the reality of temporal life or the physicality of our existence.
So true Adam, and I agree with your words “If something is true, then it should be true for all aspects of life,….” thank you for your comment that contains the magic of awareness.
It is amazing how many pills and potions we consume simply to cover up the fact that we are not taking care of ourselves in the first place.
It is amazing to hear the stories that people are sharing on all these blogs. About where they have been in life and how far they have come. I too have written many blogs about my life and the changes that I have made. I feel that having such hugh changes in our lives, then looking back to how we used to live it almosts seems crazy what we used to do. I often question what was actually going on in my head and in my life back then to make the choices I did and why do we not see then how crazy it is. This helps me to understand others in my life that still make some what ridiculous choices now, seeing that we are all on our own journey at our own pace, unfolding our awareness of what is ‘crazy’ and what is not.
I agree Danielle – on reflection it is oftentimes un-believable to understanding some of the choices we have made in the past – and as you say, some of the choices were ‘crazy’ – but we just move on, oops! that was a mistake, dust ourselves off from the fall and continue you on at our own pace now developing with a deeper awareness – each one of us.
I love this positive approach Roberta, it’s really getting on with it!
Thank you Roberta for the wisdom of your blog.
Roberta, during WW2 you witnessed the effects of what we could call a cult. I consider you an authority to be able to sense when something is just not right. The media should get in contact with people like you, real experts on the topic with lived experience, to write their stories. These would be stories of true wisdom.
Thank you Felix – your words touch a place within, and I feel we all have a responsibility to share our lived experiences – I know I am deeply inspired by the blogs and comments that I have read on the Universal Medicine sites .
Great point Roberta that once we are shown how to discern energy it is not difficult to do, in fact we already know how to do it, we are just remembering a sense we have shut down. Anyone can do it and once remembered it needs to be shared with all of humanity, for if everyone was feeling and discerning energy more then the world would look very different.
Thank you Andrew – I agree “if everyone was feeling and discerning energy more then the world would look very different.” – indeed – if only folk in the wider community actually knew they have a choice at their very fingertips , or rather in their hearts to choose their behaviours and their thoughts. However, I am finding more and more it serves not to go into overwhelm or ideals as to what ‘could be and if only’….and as has been offered by Serge Benhayon at the Universal Medicine presentations we learn from our own unfolding process and accept that the reflection of that love is to allow another to unfold at their own pace, in their own rhythm and timing is all that is required.
Thanks Roberta you have given a great example here of what happens when we seek from an emptiness or a desperation without discerning the quality of what we are signing up to. Everything is energy and so everything has a certain quality of energy that we can feel in our bodies if we remain aware to it.
Thank you Andrew for your comment, and I agree with you “everything is energy and so everything has a certain quality of energy that we can feel in our bodies” – and if I had, all those years ago been educated in this awareness that “everything is energy” maybe I would have been aware of the choice that I had at my fingertips – or rather in my heart, to feel the difference in the quality of that which I was about to choose to be influenced by.
I feel now the responsibility we have of sharing this ageless wisdom that “everything is energy – so everything must be because of energy – Serge Benhayon” to enable the educators to impart this fact to their pupils in the very early stages of their education in all the schools.
Thank you Roberta. The consistent theme for most who have that inner cry ‘That there has to be more to life than this’ feel the answer is inspired when they are met by Serge Benhayon. The simplicity of ‘be love’, ‘be who you truly are’. Learning to connect to your inner-heart and live who you truly are is a beautiful adventure in discovering true love.
Never is anything imposed on anyone in Universal Medicine and by Serge Benhayon. That is so unique and so precious. That can only be true love.
We do know the truth when we hear it, even though we have been searching through the New Age , modalities and books, meditation groups etc. in the past. When I met up with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and The Ancient Wisdom there was no question that this was the truth, what I was looking for and I have had no doubts since. I am learning to be in the Livingness and sometimes I don’t listen to my body and over ride feelings that are important but I get the message louder and clearer next time. Thank you for sharing your journey Roberta.
This is an amazing story. Thank you for sharing, Roberta.
Beautiful to read Roberta. Your searching has lead you down many paths and you didn’t find rest until you felt the truth presented by Serge Benhayon. Confirming that similar path echoed in many others as they tell their story, and as it happened to me.
Thankyou Roberta, this is a very inspiring article. I also agree and love how you share ‘The practice of the gentle breath is dissolving my anxiety levels, developing awareness of the benefits of being self loving and endeavouring to diminish complexities makes for more harmonious everyday living – living life now in simplicity to the best of my ability’.
Thank you Suse, yes, it really is as simple as that – ‘the practie of the gentle breath’ can actually change everything – that was what I found for myself.
Thank you Roberta and Suse.. Each time I hear and feel the invaluable quality of the Gentle Breath I am re-inspired to practice it.
I too dabbled in the new age stuff as it gave me identity and a group of people to gather with. It filled certain needs but like you Roberta, never touched the emptiness. I understand when you talk about the deep knowing from within that just feels true, and from there begins the loving process of unfolding and opening to the simplicity of harmonious living.
Thank you Kathy for your comment and your words “gave me identity and a group of peope to gather with” stood out. Interesting isn’t it, the beliefs that we may identify with in making that choice to ‘join a group’ when truly coming from a place of emptiness ‘the group’ just never fills that void – possibly satisfies the ‘neediness’ for a while, but ultimately there is the awareness that there must be another way. I thank Serge Benhayon and the presentations of Universal Medicine for showing me that there was a choice to be made, a choice of what is true love or that which is not and I found the choice for me was to align with the energy of the inner heart .
I agree with you Meg – “who wouldn’t want a more joyful, more open and healthy life?” I am becoming more aware as each moment comes toward me, that in every relationship with self and with others, there is presented an opportunity to just be that love, and naturally be able to feel that joy within.
That is beautiful to hear 🙂
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story *
‘There now is the awareness of more joy in my life, relationships in general are becoming more open and natural, sleep patterns are way more healthy and healing’, Roberta what an inspiring change you have made – this paragraph particularly struck me – who wouldn’t want a more joyful, more open and healthy life?
Thank you Kevin for your comment. I had to smile when you mentioned your reflection on “the guy that used to wake up and reach for a cigarette before I even got out of bed” – how awesome is that awareness we all have to make a different choice – that indeed there is another way.
It’s gorgeous how love, once felt and met with, can flow into all areas of your life if you choose it (:
I feel that to be so true Ben – and having the wisdom to know you have a choice is the starting point it seems and to repeat your words “…love once felt and met with can flow into all areas of your life if you choose it.”
Thanks for sharing your journey through life and what Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have presented to you to change the quality of your life and relationships.
Thank you Melissa, yes, it is true, meeting Serge Benhayon and attending the presentations of Universal Medicine took me on a sweeping turn to truth – of that there is no doubt.
This is very beautiful Roberta. Thank you so much for writing this so honestly. “Living life now in simplicity to the best of my ability” is really the key.
That I find is so true Ryoko, that simplicity is the key, and it seems to me that it is we, our very selves who create the complexity in life. So I am finding it is my responsibility to assess where I am allowing that energy to creep in to cause havoc in the belief systems of the mind, and come back to breathing my own breath and simplicity once again.
So simply captured Roberta. The most ludicrous thing I find about the false media reports is where people say that Serge Benhayon instructs people, when the truth is I have never heard him instruct anyone. Many people take on what he presents and add it to their own life, not because they are under instruction, but because of the simplicity of what is offered and the fact that it just makes sense. Add to that the fact that they physically see someone in front of them who lives what they present, and so it is easy to be inspired in such a case to make changes to your own life.
Thank you Adam for your comment. As I was reading it, I couldn’t help but be nodding my head in agreeance with your observation of truth, in reference to “the false media reports is where people say that Serge Benhayon instructs peple, when the truth is I have never heard him instruct anyone.” That is exactly how may experience has been also- in the years that I have been attending presentations, workshops etc. I have never heard Serge instruct anybody at all.
Thank you Shami – I was drawn to re-visit my blog – now two and a half years later much water has flowed under the proverbial bridge as they say. In answer to your question “wonder how you are now?” life is truly amazing, sometimes not easy as such but so much healing I have been experiencing as my body chooses to discard that which is not love, healing on many levels as my life continues to unfold in its’ own rhythm. I feel blessed having accepted the opportunity to choose to reconnect with who I know I truly am – and my appreciation runs deep to Serge Benhayon and the presentations of Universal Medicine, the awesome Esoteric Practitioners and fellow students of The Way of the Livingness. I wonder at times why it took me so long – however, here I am now thank God.
I was touched by your story of what is possible, when we truly make loving, supportive choices in life, thank you Roberta.
What you described when you first met Serge Benhayon, as a feeling of being truly met for the first time was amazing.
It was you, that then had the courage to trust what you felt and pursue the work of Universal Medicine, against what the spiritual new age was offering, that is truly amazing.
Lovely Roberta thank you so much for your open sharings and for being so honest. It was very interesting for me to read your story and to feel into all the spiritual modalities. Your last sentences said it all for me – love just is – so love can be felt in every second of our lives. The only thing is I have to allow myself to feel it and to let it in but that is another story.
Yes esteraltmiks, and as our various stories continue to unfold I am finding the more we come to accept that innately we are Love.
I loved this blog because I too have spent years on a quest to ‘better’ myself but never finding that I had any sustainable answers that overarched my whole life. Like you Roberta, that changed when I was introduced to Universal Medicine, their practitioners and Serge Benhayon.
A remarkable turnaround from having been in the wilderness of the new age, so called, to taking responsibility and making different choices.
Thank you Gabriele – and yes, I agree a “remarkable turnaround’ – I feel one has to marvel and wonder at the strength of a greater power that I managed somehow to align with or listen to, to realize that I was actually on the wrong path at that time of my experiencing that emptiness and not really on the path that my Soul would perhaps have chosen. What absolute grace I feel to have finally felt that the choices of that time were indeed harmful and not healing.
Thank you Gabriele – I especially like the word you used “wilderness'” of the new age –
when I reflect on that time, yes, wilderness describes it very well. If I consider the difference of how I see myself now, that is developing more of a commitment to life and truth, one wonders how far away from Love and truth one can be attracted to, before the illusion of it all can be recognized and felt in the body.
Wow Roberta, I can picture what you share from your early years. They were not pretty. Serge Benhayon is a person that empowers you in a true way, but lets you be whatever you want to be. No impositions come from him. It is really beautiful how he helped you to be more you by means of reflection.
Thank you for your comment emfeldman, and yes, I agree, it really is beautiful how Serge Benhayon inspires by reflection. As the years have passed by since my first meeting I have not ever heard of it being any other way, never prothletizing, demanding, or imposing his view toward anyone – simply sharing love by reflecting the way of his livingness, and my own appreciation is end-less for Serge being in my life showing me there is another way.
Love just is – so true.
It is great to read how non-judging Serge Benhayon was with you. So many times are we bombarded with opinions and should-do’s that it can be very hard to know what is right or true for ourselves.
It is quite surprising how simple it can be to connect to our innermost. Most spiritual technics are just deviating from the true path to your own center and true loving power!
Serge Benhayon is presenting a true way to find our essence, it is so naturally, that -after all the spiritual journeys- it sometimes seems to be too simple.
But as it is naturally in us all. It IS simply our nature!
A lovely and honest account Roberta. It sounds like you found what you were looking for and filled the void.
The New Age and its modalities were not part of my life but I too was searching for something ‘authentic’. Knowing now that my body is the marker of everything is the truth I carry with me everyday.
I love that about Serge Benhayon too, Roberta, that he doesn’t tell you what to do, whereas so many others throw ‘you oughta’s at you it gets quite irritating! Serge does speak about things from the energetic truth with no holding back, but leaves you to choose for yourself. There is so much respect and love in that way, that it’s been an inspiration for me to increase my awareness so that I may allow others the same freedom I’ve been given. Thanks for sharing your story.
When I look at my ‘personal insanities’ I sometimes can’t believe I was so daft, but really, I was just doing the same as everyone else. Now I take more responsibility, being daft is about fun, play, joy, in a way that doesn’t harm my body, or any body else.
Hi Shevon,
I so love the content of your comment – so many little ‘ah ha’ moments for me also e.g. “I feel deeply inspired and actually can see where I have been going wrong in relationships by not allowing others to walk the path they choose”. This especially I have found to be a profound learning for me – allowing others/family to just be where they be, and not only ‘allowing’ that but to take it one step further into ‘accepting’ that – that is truly accepting their choice and not descending into thoughts of disappointment, failure or such.
Hi Dragana – I just happened across this blog I offered in 2012, and had to laugh at the disbelief I felt from your comment “that’s insane” in response to my then taking daily the anti-histamine tablets just so my body could withstand a little more easily the onslaught of the effects of alcohol (cask wine!!) – and yes you were correct, it was insane, and it is almost laughable, but really quite saddening when one feels the true effect of that statement – making the choice to put my body deliberately through that just to be seen to be fitting in. Wow! I thank God for my meeting Serge Benhayon, and the opportunity to attend the presentations of Universal Medicine showing me the possibility of there being another way. The unfolding continues.
Thank you Roberta for telling you story just as it is. You share so openly about how just being met equally by another can be the biggest healing of all. Realising in that moment that you are not less or more than another, and then once you felt that, you were able to keep coming back to it, even if you did stray from left to right for a while, you always knew where your centre was.
Beautiful Roberta. When reading your blog you could feel the heaviness of the what was and as you unfolded more into you the tangible lightness that is so evidently there now – within you, your relationships and with life in general. Thank you for sharing Roberta.
Upon reading your article again Roberta I was struck by the matter-of-factness, and humour in your words, great!. I gave my power away for too long to the spiritual new age, not claiming me for who I truly am, not realising, at the time that love was inside ME and I could re-connect to it by going inside rather than look at “being healed” by spiritual “tools” on the outside. What a wonderful gift to humanity is Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Thank you for your comment Sandra, and I agree absolutely with your words “What a wonderful gift to humanity is Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine”. God only knows where I might be at now in every sense if I had not made the choice to listen to my inner self at that time, not only listen but action what I was feeling from my body.
I agree Sandra, Serge Benhayon is a truly wonderful gift to humanity.
As another war baby, Roberta, being brought up with “think as I think” and “do as I tell you”, I can completely affirm your statement about Serge Benhayon never telling anyone to do or not to do something. All Serge does is present his truth, and there is never ever any indication that I have to follow it. This is so refreshing and healing after many a modality that states, “this is the right way.” We are left to choose and feel for ourselves.
