I have been involved with Universal Medicine and have attended Serge Benhayon’s presentations for two years now and I have experienced a huge development in my personal attitude and approach to life.
I first approached a Universal Medicine practitioner to help improve the issues in my relationship with my partner. We wanted to try to find some solutions through this ‘esoteric’ way of being. Neither of us knew exactly what the term ‘esoteric’ meant, or where these sessions would lead us. After some period of seeing this UniMed practitioner I started to feel differently about myself and also about the common issues we face as human beings. I felt that for the first time in my life I was ready to truly take responsibility for who I was and who I was becoming. I learnt so much about myself and I started to feel the scary truths, that maybe I was in a pattern of abuse with money, food and even my own body. I could see how I would give my power away freely and would then wonder why I felt so out of control of my life.
The first time I met Serge Benhayon I felt a lot move inside me. I felt in some ways all this man was saying made perfect sense, I couldn’t believe I hadn’t seen it that way before; then on the other hand I didn’t want to believe what Serge was presenting as I would have to feel how I had to take more responsibility for my actions, and what and how I was expressing. I felt after having met Serge Benhayon that I had truly been seen by someone for the first time in my life and that he saw me in all my realness. This made me even more curious about these teachings. I felt very challenged at times by what Serge presented, he made things seem so simple it was silly really. He says all we need to be and express is Love and this comes from the inside out. But did I even know the true meaning of Love? Had I ever even felt what True Love was?
I can now honestly say that “Yes” I now know the True meaning and feeling of Love.
Looking back over my time spent living these teachings, I have no regrets and feel that I have found my place in this life.
And I look forward to where this direction is taking me.
The Truth about Universal Medicine 
Exactly that — being moved by your own love when you connect to who you are. It’s profound where the inspiration comes from, in this case given and shown(reflected) by Universal Medicine. I am in forever joy that I am part.
Thank you Serge Benhayon for listening to your heart and bringing the teachings of the Soul back to earth.
With regard to Serge Benhayon “ all this man was saying made perfect sense.” I so agree I felt this way too. It all seemed so obvious – and still does. My whole body just says yes and resonates to the truth of his words.
I first was drawn to Universal Medicine because I was unhappy in my relationships and was seeking some counsel and help with improving these, but little did I know at the time that I would be offered so much more in terms of love support and healing and Truth. So beautiful to feel this and overwhelming in many ways too. But none the less, what is on offer is amazing and for us to embrace as we feel to.
Beautifully said Elizabeth, and so true!
Love and its true meaning can deepen the more you build a relationship with it. It changes in a beautiful and more supportive way the more you embrace it.
‘ I felt very challenged at times by what Serge presented…’ I have also been challenged by what Serge Benhayon has presented. But I’ve also had to admit the way I was living wasn’t it, and I’d tried every which way to make things work. Working through a lot of resistance, born from hurts and wanting things my way, I’ve come to feel for myself and know what challenged me was a part of myself that wanted/s to carry on being super wayward – wanting to devour all the cake at the party, feel ill and want to blame the world for making the cake, which I helped to bake in the first place! What’s lovely is that a lot of this resistance has passed. I know there is more to let go of, but I appreciate how much I’ve allowed myself the grace of acceptance.
I have evaded self-love for years but now am realising how deeply needed it is if I am to know love and live from love. My world changes in it’s entirety when lived from love. What I once wanted to believe was ok is seen for the pervading ugliness it is. But seeing it for what it is I can now say no to it and accept love more fully.
It is challenging to see the truth as it means instead of blaming others we have to accept responsibility for the choices we have made that have resulted in whatever situation we are in.
‘And I look forward to where this direction is taking me.’Yes, it’s wonderful to let go of control and see what plan is laid before us should we surrender to it.
It is being on a magical mystery tour.
“And I look forward to where this direction is taking me.” This is how I felt when I first came across Universal Medicine. When I met Serge there were no bells and whistles, everything just made common sense and was quite simple. What I did feel was that I liked the direction of the path that was there for me to step on.
‘I felt that for the first time in my life I was ready to truly take responsibility for who I was and who I was becoming.’ Reading this I feel that though I’ve been irresponsible a lot in my life there is nothing more honouring and powerful than this and it doesn’t matter how many times I may drop the ball when I pick it up again and again.
A beautiful sharing on when we open our hearts to love and feel it deeply within, there is nothing else that can surpass love, and at the same time it so normal — no ‘ra ra’. I once was lost too, but now I am back and feel the love within myself and others every single day, without perfection ofcourse.
In the light of true love, everything that we have accepted as ok starts to show its real face, and it can be very confronting and in my case, it felt like the ultimate denial of what I was about – yet, there was nothing else that was worth saying ‘yes’ to.
When we start being honest with ourselves, it is confronting at first to realise just how much abuse (self-inflicted or otherwise) we accept and allow in our lives, but ultimately empowering as we begin to honor more and more the love we are and by saying no to abuse of any degree.
When we give our power away to another we deplete ourselves of our own wisdom and knowingness.
When we start to get honest about how we are living, there is a lot that we need to take responsibility for, as our choices outline the irresponsible patterns of behaviour that we take comfort in, rather than taking responsibility for.
When we are truly met by another, every part of our bodies feels the truth of who we are – it’s an expansion that can be expressed through our movements allowing a deeper trust of our inter-connection to the vastness of the universe.
That is very inspirational Leonie – the teachings of Serge Benhayon through Universal Medicine, make absolute sense even though something inside us might at times resist those truths, they are our inspirations and the one thing we all deeply want in life – love, something we do not need to long for when we connect to our inner-most, were his teachings are all about.
Discovering True Love is one of life’s wondrous learning’s, thanks to Serge Benhayon’s presentations and sharing. There is a fair bit of un-learning what I thought love was – which is all the stuff that I had picked-up in the way of ideals and beliefs, clearing these out is like breathing the clearest freshest air and leaves space for the true love to rise out of me rather than the imposing on me and likewise onto others.
The feeling of returning to something long forgotten resonates as a deep confirmation within. Inspired by another supports us to go there for ourselves…
A great confirmation of just what a difference true Love can make to our lives.
We are slowly finding our way back to our real purpose for being here, and it starts with the loving relationship we build with ourselves!
So true Steve – in building a loving relationship with ourselves we realise that we are so much more than we think as is our purpose here. So much to explore, reveal and embody it’s awe-inspiring.
Understanding it is my responsibility to be love in relationship – with myself and hence with others – has transformed all the relationships I have because it all arises from this relationship with myself first. There is no blame to be had anymore, just a whole heap of responsibility.
When in the face of true love, there is not other way to feel we are all the same and that it is something that we have walked away from long ago, saying yes to it, is the first step in our own unfolding back to reclaiming who we truly are and to enjoy the simplicity and joy of life.
Superb sharing, sharing with us the inspiration of changing your life by finding your truth and purpose to life… How often do we hear this? Let alone see someone truly making every aspect of his or her life loving… So these, the teachings of Universal Medicine truly show humanity another way to move forward from. Love. And this goes step by step.
Leonie what you have shared here is gold. For many, Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine has changed lives and as you ’experienced a huge development in my personal attitude and approach to life’ – it definitely had that experience for me too.
It is simple and ‘society’ makes it complicated, no wonder people are lost and being diagnosed with diseases or conditions there are so far away from the simple truth – True Love.
Its a great way to describe what is offered by The Way of The Livingness. It does help us find our place in life, and ironically that is not a place as we know it, but an inner place that then changes the outer. The inner connection is with us no matter what we do…
Serge Benhayon presents that love is completely different to what we think it is. It is not emotional, it is not about flowers and chocolates. This one teaching alone transforms life.
‘ Did I even know the true meaning of Love?’ A great question to ask Leonie, I know I didn’t know what true love was until I met Serge Benhayon, a very inspiring man as he consistently lives, moves and expresses true love everywhere he goes.
It’s the simplest of teachings, the simplest wisdom, that we avoid the most – because that simplicity instantly stops the waywardness we otherwise choose in its tracks. Simplicity brings us back to ourselves – that is, it brings us back to God.
Universal Medicine presents a form of medicine that is universal, meaning anyone can use it. And, as you say Leonie, these presentations cannot but help change forever our attitude and the way we approach life. The initial medicine we can grant ourselves is to reconnect to our very essence and through this we realise that the next dose is that of the responsibility we need to take with our every thought, word and deed so that the are aligned to our essence rather than fitting into the dictates of the world.
It is interesting to consider that we actually avoid the simplicity of life and even can reject the truth of it and by doing so choose for a complex and complicated life instead.
I remember when things would happen in life and I would just shake my head, I didn’t understand, how could I? Part of me always knew there was more, I would ‘get’ all manner of things, a new car, house, married etc etc and afterwards there still would be that more feeling. Universal Medicine supported me to crack the ‘more’ and I found it was with me all along. I knew that already from the mere fact that everything I did, didn’t crack this more. I remember being told all manner of things growing up and a lot didn’t make sense or didn’t allow me to see what was going on. Universal Medicine supported me to see through this layer and understand what I was already feeling wasn’t ‘right’. This is ongoing for me as life has many parts to see and now I can look forward to seeing more.
I know the first time I met Serge I felt deeply loved and accepted for being me, the me I did not know at the time, but in that moment I felt connected to with a beautiful feeling that I had come home, there is an old saying ‘home is where the heart is, the heart is in the body so that is where the home can be felt, within not out there anywhere.
When we are not with ourself we are always looking for ways to control life and others and if we can’t we feel like everything is out of control. There is no control in the inner heart.
It can be a hard pill to swallow, to look at how we have deliberately lived to avoid the truth of who we are. When we turn around, admit that what we have substituted for love doesn’t work, it’s a very humbling process to move back to the true love we are made of and can effortlessly live by.
Love, once a word that carried all that I thought I needed to complete me and now a word that describes me, a word that means so much more than a kiss of lust or a dream partner. Now, a word that means truth, god and oneness, fullness and warmth. Yes I have come along way but this blog still offers a timeless wisdom.
That what Serge Benhayon presents and brings allows us to return home and draw from the riches we already have. It is simple and very very heart warming and opening to be allowed to simply be and live from there (in a world where we have made life to be complex and hard).
“All you need to be and express is love”… the simplicity in this is profound. If we had just this one simple marker in life, everything would be very different. I have made it that in many aspects of my life and it is unrecognisable from my past as a result.
One of the many great things I have discovered about life through the presentations of Universal Medicine is not only understanding what true love is but also knowing, experiencing and living with a deeper sense of love for myself and others through my every day. Realising the who we are within is the true love we have been searching for, has changed my life as now I live with more confidence, steadiness, openness, understanding of our purpose here together and a greater love for all guided my connection to the love we all equally are within.
It is all about gaining a deeper awarness and coming to a deeper understanding of our purpose on this earth and learn that words and teachings have been bastardised to fit an individualistic agenda. Which is far from our true nature that I come to know in my study with Universal Medicine, trough my own living of these teachings, all in my own way and time coming to deeper awareness, a deeper care for myself and a deeper care for humanity as a whole.
“It all makes sense” when we start to feel the cause and effect of the way we are living we can choose to take responsibility for all our choices.
It is amazing that in one conversation with Serge Benhayon you can feel met in a way that no other person throughout your life has been able to see the depth of you like he does.
You are one of many who have been blessed to cross paths with Serge Benhayon. What he offers is a living example of the truth and love that we all come from. What an incredible time it is to be walking this earth next to this incredible man.
Love was really just another word before I met Serge Benhayon, it had no real meaning or depth to it and while I may have thought I had fleeting moments of it I always felt it would never last. So it was a word I dismissed and never really tried to connect to it. Through Serge, how he lives, his absolute love for humanity, has shown me that love is not something that comes and goes it is there all the time, it is constant and far more stupendous than I could very have imagined, and it is our moment by moment choice whether we connect and live this amazing 4 letter word or not.
It is very confirming when we ‘find our place in life’….. thus there is much to appreciate in all the steps we have made to feel that we have a solid foundation to stand on. Solid and safe…..
I remember when I first met Serge Benhayon and he would present “Be Love”, and I was like… what is love? What does that mean? It really shows just how far away we choose to live from who we naturally are, and how little we question life and what we are really here for.
It’s somewhat saddening that most of our interactions are based on judgement, comparison, competition or other agendas. There is so much opportunity for us all to meet each other in full and see beyond the outer shell and into the essence of who we truly are.
Well said Rachael – imagine the world today if we all met each other not for the behaviors that are presented, but with honesty and understanding that who we are in essence is far greater, already magnificent and truly free from hurt.
Reconnecting to the true meaning and feeling of love invites true love back into your life and in everything you do.
Thank you Leonie for your sharing on True Love. I doubt that I had considered what true Love is until I met Serge Benhayon. He is such as true example of what true Love is, in the livingness!
Taking responsibility to heal the issues and hurts that shadow us opens us up to the true meaning and simplicity of love and to be able to live that quality more and more in our everyday lives.
Yes, realising our responsibility in the world is quite a big undertaking to begin with, in fact not even just in the beginning, I can feel overwhelmed by it often, but then need to remember that it’s in every moment, and when we just deal with each moment at a time, it’s actually natural, and no effort as such is needed. But when we look at the whole picture, and we’re reminded of how devastating the state of the world is, it can absolutely feel like it’s easier to just return to being ‘little old me’. But the later get’s us nowhere.
Ah Leonne, when I did read this words “Looking back over my time spent living these teachings, I have no regrets and feel that I have found my place in this life.” I had to smile. Yes, I also found my place in life, what is more a way of life, as it is ever evolving and not standing still. It is, being a student of life and to learn to live true love on earth with all of us. Quite a job. But such a joy.
I remember before coming to Universal Medicine, being very confused what love was. The world had a clear view of the emotional love that we were meant to fall for, but this felt uncomfortable, false and over the top, but at the same time I had not idea what love was. Through the presentations of Universal Medicine I have a much clearer understanding of love and how self love is the precursor to love.
Becoming more aware is an ever-growing relationship with responsibility. Responsibility holds all that is true in it. The marker I have of truth is in my body however, you also have in your body the choices / markers of what is not true. The path then becomes discerning what is true in the body compared to the mind forcing you back to its control of the what is not. So, the master-ship becomes of discerning what comes from the body and what comes from the mind. There is so much to say on this .. and simply what has worked for me to bring me to the truth is to be absolutely honest about where I am at and what is happening for me to understand myself first and foremost that is the self-relationship with self-responsibility.
True love is my way forward too Leonie. Prior to Universal Medicine, my understanding of love was an emotional, needy and imposing kind of love. Now, knowing and understanding what true love is I have started to live a loving way more and more.
I certainly did not know what the meaning of true love was before I came across Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. I thought love was about doing for another, a giving of oneself but I now know and have always known but denied within that true love comes from a way I choose to be with myself in every moment of my day, the complete opposite to how I once thought love to be. I found it relatively easy to accept this truth; to live it has not been and is not so easy but I know it is in my livingness that makes a difference.
It is Universal Medicine that brought me back in the picture of myself. It is bringing me a reconnection to a truth I’ve always known, the truth that my body is the connection with the all, and in turn trough connecting to myself. Being able to deepen the relationship with others.
What simplicity – “All you need to be and express is love” We spend so much time making it all about so much more and life and relationships become very complicated!
It is indeed very simple Lucy. Yet many times I have made it very complicated so to avoid being love, yet it was love that I craved and miss the most. We all know what love is but learning to freely express and live love is simple but not always the case when we are trying to avoid it.
Beautiful comment Elizabeth.
The more I feel true love within my body the more that which is not true love stands out.
I have also had the feeling when listening to Serge Benhayon present that I already knew what he was saying but was choosing to ignore or deny this level of awareness about life.
I love how you are sharing what it felt like to have someone fully meet you for the first time ever. This is huge.
I wonder how many of us go throughout our whole life feeling there is something missing in how other humans engage with us.
Beautifully said Leonie, I was reflecting on my first visit with Serge Benhayon the other day, I also had a similar experience to you as it was the first time in my life I had also felt met for who I truly was. The immense love and connection I felt in Serge’s presence allowed me to feel that my search for truth was well and truly over, and 12 years on I bless the day I made the choice to meet this extraordinary man.
Thank you Leonie for a beautiful sharing, I so relate to meeting Serge Benhayon and being held and met for who we truly are by his deep love and by this reflection we know we are and come from love also.
This is gorgeous Leonie. Wow. When someone writes “I feel I have found my place in this life” from a livingness it is profound. This is not a throwaway line it is a sentence that conveys all the joy of coming home to the love that you are. Thank you.
Awesome Leonie I can totally relate. Each time I hear Serge Benhayon present my body registers the truth he speaks… and this has given me a whole new marker for whether what I am reading, listening to or watching is of truth or not.
Everything Serge presents is so simple and yet so life-changing. The first time I went to a presentation, everything Serge said, I could feel I knew deep in my body but had somehow forgotten. He reminds us of what we already know and of who we really are – and of the thing that so many find challenging – of our responsibility to live this in our everyday.
When we stand in front of a clear reflection such as Serge Benhayon we see ourselves unmasked, we are truly met for who we are and the games we play are exposed. This has inspired so many to reconnect and live from the truth that we equally are. It does as you share Leonie, call us to live with a level of responsibility which requires an honesty with ourselves and the choices we make in life.
I was asked yesterday by a lady that works for a government department what Universal Medicine is actually about. She had heard lots of rumors and things on the internet but wanted to know from people that were personally involved what the key principles were. I feel like you some them up well in this blog Leonie, Universal Medicine is a teaching or Religion that redefines words and the meanings we know them as today, Religion now means my relationship to myself and all that surrounds me. Medicine now is everything, the way in which I speak and move can either be a form of medicine that supports me or not. Sometimes I take it for granted how much I have developed as a person through this philosophy and that is why its so important to record things like you have in this blog Leonie, thank you.
Imagine if the vast difference between spirit and soul was one of our first educations about life and our true purpose here? Imagine what a different world we would live in if that was what we were taught in our homes and schools?
Awesome Sarah! A beautiful summation of what it’s all about. Nothing weird here, it’s just straight up simple!
Universal Medicine presents the truth about life, it is clear to me that this is the true way to live. And feel that what is been before and still sometimes choose is irresponsible, and not in the truth of the love I know. What is interesting is that when we just honestly see this, it isn’t a burden but a beautiful observation to work with.
The small print in Esoteric Healing is that we are all responsible for the all, and in that sentence the word responsible is a fantastic thing and never a burden.
Our love is a light that guides us safely home, back to the All that we are and to everyone else. Our steps on this path are simple, but what we put in the way to not walk it is where the complication lies.
Thank you Leonie. I have come to realise that love is the only true way forward for everything else is in truth a self-created absence of love and then life becomes an attempt to fill the emptiness we feel. The only true answer is for us to return to the love we are and cease creating the illusion that we do not have it.
Many times I have been blown away by Serge Benhayon, and many times blown away that I had never seen things the way he has expressed them to be. He speaks a truth that my whole body responds a big YES to, and talks of responsibility I know is the true way to live.
Gosh, being presented with self responsibility can be a very very bitter pill to swallow. But once you realise that we are all responsible for our choices, something very cool starts to happen….we begin to consider the choices we make and why we make them, and from there, awareness of ourselves grows and we start to get a feel for who we really are, and choose less of what the majority chooses for the sake of it and choose more what feels right to us.
Everything Serge Benhayon presents we know makes sense, it’s just whether we are honest with ourselves or not. Leonie it shows you were willing to go there by the amazing changes you have made.
We have been given so much by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, I cannot describe the enormity of it, and like you say Leonne;’ he made things seem so simple it was silly really.’ And so it feels ‘silly’ when we do not take the responsibility and live the love that we are.
‘I have no regrets and feel that I have found my place in this life.’ I love this line. From feeling like an alien in a strange land, I now know I have a place and a part to play.
Leonie re-reading your blog has given me pause to reflect on how much I have learned from the teachings presented by Serge. They have become so much part of my daily life and it is important to reflect and appreciate how much is constantly being delivered to help us evolve ourselves for humanity.
It is beautiful that the teachings of Serge Benhayon belong to all of us because we all come from the same place. This place is love. We make this journey back to our true essence and begin to discard all those things that have masked the truth and dulled us from knowing who we are.
I have always known what true love is within my heart but I had allowed myself to be led astray (put mildly) seeking love outside myself to find this was not the answer. I felt so empty inside. When I first did the gentle breath meditation at a presentation given by Serge Benhayon I knew instantly this was it where in the connection to my breath I felt the presence of God.
What the esoteric can bring in our life is truly beautiful and unimaginable. Living consciously choosing to live from the love that we are is the most amazing and true way to live.
True Love is the Only Way.
Being met with true love is the greatest gift. We realise that that love is us, we were always this, and we are capable of so much more than we were living. Serge Benhayon has made so many people realise the love that they are.
There is so much power in asking ourselves questions like; ‘But did I even know the true meaning of Love? Had I ever even felt what True Love was?’
This is a gorgeous level of honesty that gives space to allow what is true to be felt. No longer are we stuck in the ideals of what we think something is. And asking those questions also feels like it bring humility to our experience on earth and a willingness to the a student of life.
When we live in a commitment to Love, then all that is not Love gets exposed and seen in its false light, thus clearing the way for greater love to be lived. This is the evolution we are all in together, and supporting each other to realise once more in full the light that we are from. This is true brotherhood..
I am also learning that responsibility is not onerous, arduous, nor a struggle – and if we are making it so, then that is not the true responsibility… for it is only our responsibility to connect to the truth of who we are, and to live that quality, allowing our true light to be lived, and that takes care of our responsibility to all. and in this is deep joy.
I am learning every day a deeper and truer meaning of Love as it unfolds and deepens in its grandness and all-encompassing-ness,. . and the responsibility and joy that comes with this understanding.
Beautifully said Leonie what an amazing statement “I can now honestly say that “Yes” I now know the True meaning and feeling of Love.” This is the way forward in all our lives and from here everything can open up and be seen and lived in this quality joyfully.It is brought to us by Serge Benhayon and his reflection for all to feel.
I did not know what love was until I met Serge Benhayon. Not that I recognised it at first meeting, far from it. I knew I had met someone of a pure quality, but it was through the presentations of what love is not that I began to fully feel and appreciate the depth of love that emanated from this humble and at times playful man. By lived example he reflected unconditional – no strings attached – non emotional Love of the highest order. And when we feel this depth and quality of love it rubs off and we find ourselves changing and becoming more loving too.
To know our place in life, sounds simple but is fundamental: not a by-stander, follower, judge, superior, hiding or checked out. Instead when we know our place in life and what we bring when connected gives life a whole new meaning and purpose:to live as equals in brotherhood with all others, nothing more, nothing less.
Learning to live by the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom as presented by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine brings a dimension of understanding of love and of learning to feel energy within and around us that is at once astonishing and completely natural, feeling like being back at kindergarten and starting a whole new life, except that in kindergarten we were naturally masters at it 🙂
It’s amazing to think that when we are addressing issues in our life like a relationship, career path or something with our children etc, we aren’t dealing with just this one thing, for everything is connected, so our whole life is affected by choices we are making in all areas.
Making the choices from love is the best way to be in life. We are always making choices but sometimes don’t know what we are really choosing, only what we have been taught maybe, but one thing is for sure, a divine light exists within all, and we naturally pull towards this.
“Looking back over my time spent living these teachings, I have no regrets and feel like I have found my place in this life”. And that place is our home it lives within, re-connecting back to our inner-most being and opening up to the love we come from is, in fact, our natural joyful way of being. That’s why what Serge Benhayon presents and the way he lives makes so much sense and although at times the truth makes us squirm because we realise how far we have gone away from it, deep within we all truly know.
Hi Leonie, Serge Benhayon has certainly redefined what love is. Once you have felt the love in your body that comes from deeply connecting to your innermost heart there is no denying that you come from love and are to return to love.
Beautifully said Leonie, that is exactly the way I feel too.
To embark on the true way forward often requires us to look backwards, appreciate and learn from the past. When we do this with an open heart we are more often than not blessed with the opportunity of true clarity, understanding and growth.
When we truly take responsibility for who we are and who we are becoming it is vital we address our patterns and learn from our past ‘imperfect’ behaviors and experiences. This can be very uncomfortable and confronting at times but for true change to occur in our lives, it is completely necessary and ever deepening.
This may seem irrelevant, but stay with me here. There are many who always question why a woman in an extremely abusive relationship stays, even when they have the financial means to move on. The answer – whilst there can be no ‘one fits all answer”, it is worth exploring the possibility that the person does not register the level of abuse they are in, or are even comfortable with that abuse – in other words they are prepared to put up with the abuse for the small amount of attention the relationship brings them. Any attention will do. Because the need for the relationship is so strong, they will be willing to compromise to the extent that they will play down the level of abuse they receive. They then get used to it, and it becomes normal.
In the same way, we all compromise ourselves in life and accept ways of being and living that from the outside are clearly abusive, even though they are normal. It is in truth abusive to drink one glass of alcohol, abusive to eat the wrong type of food, abusive to push ourselves to the point of exhaustion. But we are willing to put up with this self abuse for the so called momentary pleasure we receive. The chocolate tastes good – for a second, the win at the end of the race is exhilarating – for a second. The occasional caring touch one receives from their abusive partner feels good – for a minute.
And we hold onto those moments so much so that we are prepared to put up with the long lasting effects of abuse in order to experience them – such is the condition of being what we call human life.
Super powerful comment Adam and absolutely spot on.
Leonie great connection you have made between giving your power away and feeling out of control. It makes perfect sense, by taking responsibility for each choice we make we can feel very settled in ourselves. Giving away our power to someone or something else is a big permission slip to perceive ourselves as “out of control”. It all boils down to knowing we are responsible for everything, even choosing to be “out of control”.
Beautiful Leonie what you have expressed. I remember the first time I heard Serge Benhayon speak, it just made so much sense, I felt at last I had come home, home to me and home to the truth that is forever unfolding within my life.
To know the true meaning and feeling of love is such a divine blessing. I love how you have taken responsibility to discover and infold what this truly means for you and your everyday living;
“I felt that for the first time in my life I was ready to truly take responsibility for who I was and who I was becoming.”
It is deeply empowering to come to a place where you realise that you are where you are due to your choices and that you have the power to choose differently… taking responsibility for what comes next. Serge offered this to me too and now I can only look back in awe and deep appreciation of the healing power offered through this wisdom.
I used to think that loving someone meant giving them the best, giving them everything I could, letting them have their own way, giving in, giving my power away. Now I know that living like this was allowing abuse and love is much more equal than I ever imagined. Love is deeply caring for myself and supporting myself in all the ways I can, then it gives me space to love everyone else equally. Love does not give up on another nor does it give in, love tells the truth, love is equal and not emotional, love does not judge and does not hold grudges, love can only love you.
This is a great blog Leonie, the meaning of true love has been a great thing to get to understand, but mostly feel. Having this in my life is supporting me deeply to make loving choices everyday.
I know the meaning of true love as well now with thanks to Serge Benhayon. What you shared hear is amazing, very honest and so true ‘ I couldn’t believe I hadn’t seen it that way before; then on the other hand I didn’t want to believe what Serge was presenting as I would have to feel how I had to take more responsibility for my actions, and what and how I was expressing.’ I’m just wondering as a whole is that the reason we do not want to see the truth (even though we know it is true when presented) … because we would then need to take complete responsibility for everything continuously! It is definietly time to change this now though, we have played this pointless game for too long.
‘I felt very challenged at times by what Serge presented, he made things seem so simple it was silly really. He says all we need to be and express is Love and this comes from the inside out.’ This was the same for me it sounded simple, yet at the same time I made it really difficult for myself, until I began to surrender and connect to the love that I am.
There is so much in your sharing Leonie that sounds like me. I have always felt that what Serge Presents is the truth, no question about that! And I agree that there have been challenging times accepting responsibility for what happens to my body, and learning to listen to it . Thank you Leonie.
“I felt in some ways all this man was saying made perfect sense, I couldn’t believe I hadn’t seen it that way before; then on the other hand I didn’t want to believe what Serge was presenting as I would have to feel how I had to take more responsibility for my actions, and what and how I was expressing.” How familiar this sentence is for me! I felt like this is the first time I read one of Serge’s books and I continue to feel this way whenever Serge presents.
It is so beautiful to rediscover what true love is, and indeed often quite confronting. As we have ignored it for such a long time, and deep within we are all aware of the truths Serge Benhayon presents.
It’s beautiful that we feel this knowing within us and Serge Benhayon confirms what we know and then inspires us to go deeper.
No wonder Serge Benhayon is the man they say is the man that makes things make sense! I have often been blown away by the simplicity of his teachings and the real practical down to earth way it is expressed. Thank you Leonie for this beautiful sharing.
A beautiful and simple sharing Leonie, I also found Serge Benhayon made a lot of sense as well, discovering what true love is has been key to deepening all my relationships in my life.
Yes I agree Leonie, it is powerful in its simplicity and truth.
And resisting our true greatness and glory!
Yes Leonie, It feels like our whole lives transform when we begin to take responsibility for ourselves..so simply said…yet so difficult to apply consistently.
Wonderful to read that you have found your place in this life. One day, we will all find our place and from that place, we can all shine just like the stars in heaven. Thanks to Serge Benhayon, as he shows people the way.
This is confirming all that is true about love, being in true love needs taking responsibility. To see and feel all that we do not being in this love, affects ourself and others deeply.
There is something I felt on that day when I first met Serge Benhayon that has never left me, that raw and realness of me just being shown to the world through him; at first I very strongly ignored it but it hasn’t gone away. And like you’ve mentioned Leonie, yes at times it’s challenging but it’s only confronting to the part of me that has for a very long time ignored and rejected that realness and avoided bringing it out into the world. But that core has been so strong that I’ve kept coming back again and again. Serge Benhayon has a completely open door policy and allows all to come and go as they please and I have chosen to hang around this time because underneath the uncomfortable is something much more valuable.
Leonie, I can relate to the feeling you shared “all this man was saying made perfect sense, I couldn’t believe I hadn’t seen it that way before” and it is a testimony to the fact that we all know truth innately and that when it is reflected to us it is our choice to accept what we know or to resist and ten our back on truth a little while longer. When we accept the return to our all knowingness has begun.
I could echo your comments on meeting Serge Benhayon for the first time – ” I felt that for the first time in my life I was ready to truly take responsibility for who I was and who I was becoming”. I too used to give my power away – and have learned so much from the Ageless Wisdom teachings. Yet when Serge presents, somewhere deep in my body it says ‘I know that’ too. Listening to my body’s messages is such a huge gift – that I sometimes ignore. But the ‘body is the marker of all truth’ (SB) Choices to be made in every moment…….
In simplicity the grandness of the universe is shown to us.
I love this blog. I am inspired to remain honest about deeply knowing what love is; that I knew when people were unloving with me but didn’t call them on this – not because I believed it was ok because they told me they loved me and I got confused, but because I knew what love was and is and preferred the convenience of not being asked to be this love that I am and everyone is, and chose not taking responsibility for being love myself.
There was never any confusion just an adjustment I chose to be the level of love that surrounded me in life rather than the all encompassing love we all are and come from.
I agree Leonie, when I first started listening to Serge Benhayon I noted how everything he said made so much sense, and in a way it was something I already knew deep inside, and at the same time I realised the enormity of my own lack of responsibility, and how I had added to the lack of truth in the world.
Thank you Leonie for sharing your experience, I too felt the simple truth of what Serge was saying when I first heard him speak, in that moment I knew I had come home, no more seeking for love outside, but coming home, to the love within.
I can relate to your experience Jill, the power of Serge Benhayon’s presentations can’t be denied
I love that Matthew, the fact is that love is already there in abundance. We cannot leave it but we can turn our sight away from it. But to keep this so we need to constantly be focusing on something else, which can only be outside of us. No wonder entertainment and media are so huge in our world today.
Well said Matthew and Carolien – turning out sight from love by focussing on something else which is outside of us … and then may I add, wondering why life does not feel so great anymore. A self-sabotaging way that lacks responsibility, and I am finding that there are layers and layers to this that reveal themselves from time to time!
You explain really well Leonie how Serge Benhayon makes truth and understanding the world so simple and obvious one can’t but wonder why it took someone else to say it, and also why nobody but Serge Benhayon was bringing the truth across a broad array of topics. I know this was my experience and I have heard others say the same. It really is phenomenal how masterfully we ignore what goes on right under our noses.
Mmm agree Matthew. Turned on its head indeed ! So many old ideals of how to be in love and what love means gets completely thrown out the window one after the other as increasingly the feeling of true love is grasped.
“expressing the love that is inside us” awesome Benkt. And that’s why it’s so simple as it’s just all what’s innately us.
Yea, what was presented by serge Benhayon was one of the only things I found was simple and made so much sense also.
Thank you for sharing your experience Leonie. It was great to read how you came to universal medicine and how you found it. It’s like seeing an esoteric practitioner gets rid of all this old stuff and then your life changes and you feel more ready to make a shift to being more responsible for your life and choices. Frees up some space from the issues. What serge presents is so simple really. I often wonder why this common sense approach to life isn’t the normal way to go. But as you’ve hinted ” I felt very challenged at times by what Serge presented, he made things seem so simple it was silly really” because it’s often hard to admit the way we are living, the way we think is it and what we are stuck in, is not really it at all.
Not many people on earth claim that they know the true meaning of love. It is gorgeous to meet more and more people at Universal Medicine events who do so. By meeting them and looking them in the eyes I myself develop a sense for the true meaning of love and start to reflect it to others without even talking about it. It becomes tangible.
I love your way of describing your journey Leonie and how incredulous you are at the simplicity. This is what gets me every time. It’s a way of life that is so possible, but our bad habits keep us in a momentum of complication and unhealthy choices. Serge Benhayon makes it feel so possible that we have it in us to make the absolute change to a much more loving way of life.
So simple Matthew, that we miss it! I can truly vouch for that. I can go into making it harder for myself just because I can’t believe how simple it is.
The teachings of Serge Benhayon make so much sense, but are challenging a lot of things I haven’t taken responsibility for. And as it is so simple you can’t just go around it..
Reading your words here Leonie, what comes through is ‘esoteric = realness’. It’s not any hidden mystery at all, but something that underlies all the things we put in our way that aren’t really true or who we really are. It’s really real.
I like how you say, no regrets since coming across the work of Universal Medicine. I would not change a thing since I started doing this work either, it has allowed me to heal so much and understand so much more of the world that had never made sense before.
Completely agree Sally !
Yes Sally, I agree. The world never made sense to me either before coming across the work of Universal Medicine.
Love was the missing ingredient in my life.I I feel i knew this, but there was no one that was able to reflect true love to me, so my whole life was about accepting less than what I knew to be true. I only know this now thanks to the presentations from Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon who was able to reflect love in it’s true essence. To know the difference between emotional love and true love is very freeing and releases us from the complicated and intricate web of false love that we can so easily get caught in.
True love is lived in everything we do, it supports us to be ourself and express in full.
I love this Leonie. It’s wonderful to come home, hear and feel the truth and take responsibility (or not) for our choices.
Wonderful sharing Leonie. I have made the same experience – Serge Benhayon helped me a lot, to find myself and to deepen my relationship to myself. His integrity and commitment to humanity is just amazing, he is a role model for the future.
I absolutely agree – I am often stunned by how simple and common sense Serge Benhayon’s presentations are. Serge talks about a lot of elephants in the room, the things we all like to keep hidden despite the fact we can all feel the truth. This has inspired me to do the same in my own life.
Indeed Rachel a very confirming read.
I loved reading this Leonie, as it has also been my experience. Finding Universal Medicine has made so much sense out of the nonsense we live with on a daily basis.
It’s beautiful that feeling of registering what true love is. Whether it’s with another, or a marker for oneself, there is no doubt about it.
And it’s beautiful to feel it go deeper than you thought possible. Evolution!
Leonie, so well said, when I met Serge Benhayon for the first time it felt like I was coming home. The presentations stirred up something inside me that I knew to be true, but left me feeling uncomfortable because I realised how far away from truth I had been living.
Totally agree with you Leonie. A lot of what Serge Behanyon presents is challenging, because he reminds us that we are responsible for our choices, and how many of us would much rather blame circumstances or other people on some of our choices? It’s awesome to take ownership of those choices though, because once you realise you have the power to make changes, then there is much less room for blame and resentment.
Yea true Elodie. So many people would often rather blame others then take ownership for their hurts and how they are feeling. Though the realisation that we have a choice in all this leads to such a different outlook.
Leonie what you share feels so familiar to me, as it has been my experience too. What is presented and offered by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine makes so much sense, yet is so challenging as it asks us to take true responsibility for the choices we make daily and moment to moment. Despite this challenge I too have never felt more met and held as such an equal in my life. I now know what love, truth and integrity feels and looks like and I simply could never walk away from having that in my life.
Same for me Jade… Truth is simple and clear, however it’s not always easy as it does mean taking responsibility for our choices ….and avoiding this truth keeps us in the complexity, drama and distractions of life. I say thank God for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for reflecting the truth, joy and love that are within us all and the expansion that is possible when we are willing to take responsibility for our choices.
Jade that is my experience too. Once felt, it is impossible for me to walk away from what is known. However I do notice that I can delay taking responsibility at times. I say delay because deep down I know it is a game, and a foolish one at that, especially when I allow myself to truly appreciate the opportunity to know truth and love that I have been presented with and chosen.
Leonie as you say the truth is really very simple and the confronting part is to see how we have created all this complexity and issues in our lives ourselves. But what we get back for becoming honest and aware is true Love, and nothing is grander than that.
Agree Carolien. The truth is super simple and sometimes it is confronting to note how you’ve tried to go around it so much. But as you’ve said … “But what we get back for becoming honest and aware is true Love, and nothing is grander than that.”
And this is why it can feel so familiar and like one has come home when they meet Serge Benhayon, as we all do know Love – EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE PLANET. When I say LOVE I mean REAL TRUE LOVE, not the romantic or emotional kind, but a Love where you are respected.
True love in the meaning of ‘holding another in love to let them evolve in their own time, without any need or expectation’.
Truth is indeed very simple and I know in my own experience that complexity and complications are the perfect distraction away from living this truth. However as you say Carolien, when we connect to truth and love and live this simplicity, there is huge expansion.
I agree Angela, in my experience the simplicity is what challenges us most as it doesn’t engage our mind and leaves us to feel everything.
I agree Carolien, to simplify is ground breaking action taken, in a life of complexity.
So true – the waking-up to ourselves and the awarenesses that come after choosing greater self responsibility, can be a bit scary. Each choice in this direction does lead to greater harmony and a self-loving relationship. Lovely blog Leonie.
Beautifully expressed Leonie, life is simple and full of joy when we live with true love.
Choosing a life of awareness, love and responsibility is a beautiful and inspiring way forward.
It’s really awesome to feel how inspired you are Leonie!
I love that when we allow ourselves to listen to our bodies we know which way to go.
I too felt the same as you when I first met Serge Benhayon, that every thing he was presenting made so much sense. He spoke of truth and love in such a way that reawaken my awareness and started me pondering on what I was contributing to my life and how I can be more loving. I began to understand my lack of responsibility in life and how my behavior can affect other people too. I started to make more loving choices and I am feeling amazing for it and I am returning to experiencing what true love really is.
Beautifully simple Leonie: I agree with you 100% that what Serge Benhayon presents is so fundamental and simple, to live differently is more than a little silly. I used to think I was honest, open and responsible, and maybe I was compared to those around me. What Serge is presenting is taking these qualities to a whole new level, and this can be like you said, quite challenging. If I look back now to how I was before I bought the teachings of Universal Medicine into my life I would have to say I was extremely irresponsible, shut down, justifying my miserable life by lying to myself. It was challenging to face these truths, but they were presented with a lot of love and understanding, and no Judgment or condemnation. Understanding the reasons behind my behavior revealed it more clearly, the harm it was doing to others and myself. Also revealed was the way to break the behavioral patterns that I had imprisoned myself with. Thank you Leonie for sharing, and thank you to Universal Medicine.
It is really sweet to read this blog about love. The more I understand what love feels like as a way of life and in how I care for my body, the more open the world seems to be.
Simply beautiful Leonie, I can so relate to what you are saying. I also found the teachings is Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are so simple and really make sense. I always have the feeling of yes I knew that… I think I never came up with it myself because of not wanting to feel everything and be responsible for everything in my life.
Thank you Leonie, your writing has reminded me to be in the simplicity and stillness of love, especially when there is pressure to take us away from this place.
I feel that I am only now discovering, or more returning to what true love is.
It has not to do with someone of something outside of myself; it is a connection of learning to be gentle and caring with my body and me, and its well worth connecting to.
I feel this way too Thomas. I am learning to reconnect to true love. It seems that my understanding of true love was reversed. Now, I am understanding that true love comes from within me, not from outside of me or from seeking it from another person. It must first start from within me and allowing my love to radiate out. When I am feeling full of love, I see the world and people a whole new way, without judgement, expectations, neediness or misery. I see the world through understanding, stillness, acceptance and love.
Thank you Leonie for sharing your story, taking responsibility for our body and life is all empowering and once that is felt it is a truth we know .
Very well expressed Paul. Beautiful! I totally agree with you.
Very cool – I love how you are acknowledging this is just the beginning, and that you absolutely know that what is in front of you is truly magnificent.
Thank you for explaining your path to love with the teachings of Serge Benhayon Leonie. Sometimes I have found his presentations challenging, because they ask us to look at how we are living, and how responsible we are being. I now live with a much deeper commitment to life, to caring for my body, to being love, and it feels very joyful to live this way.
Leonie, I have many a times found myself amazed at the simple workings of life and I cannot (choose not to!) recall how I lived prior to having my eyes wide opened! It is as you say, simple!, yet when we don’t want to take responsibility, we do many silly things to dull our awareness!
And, as far as the giving away of your power, I can relate to that too! I have recently discovered, for me, it was all in the name of not claiming full responsibility in loving me!
I love what you have shared Leonne and agree that Serge Benhayon sees everyone for who they really are. To be met in such a respectful and honouring way allows one’s confidence to grow. Each time I am in Serge’s presence, or attend any of the Universal Medicine events, I feel a deep Truth inside of me and it is this confidence I choose to move forward with in my life. This I feel is a responsible way to live.
Thank you Leonie, it was beautiful to feel again that moment when I first realised the truth of what Serge Benhayon was presenting. I was astounded by the simplicity and sense – and like you said, wondered why I had not realised this simple truth before. I continually am amazed when Serge presents patiently, and yet again, these truths which I will resist until that beautiful moment when I let go and I accept. This is love – a love that comes from a dedicated and committed life which embraces each and everyone of us.
Meeting Serge Benhayon in person and having experienced being met by him in a way so foreign in temporal life yet so familiar within the heart, that way is called True Love. Every situation where meeting Serge Benhayon feels uncomfortable it is a reflection he has given me/us to go deeper in expressing the true and fullness of ourselves, that which is True Love also.
Meeting Serge Benhayon is an opportunity for us to look honestly at self responsibility, an opportunity that our Soul has asked for, it is up to us if we take this opportunity or delay it, but the responsibility is there for us in each choice.
It is inspiring to read how you have made the choice to listen to your own marker of truth – being the body. What I am learning more and more is that living a lie is deeply embedded into everyday life – from how I speak, how I walk, dress, even the thoughts about myself can make my body feel uncomfortable. Living a lie is more damaging than I had ever possibly imagined and the work of Universal Medicine has been the only place that has brought this to the fore. This is something which I am greatly appreciative of because in your pictures, it shows the difference and complete life changing results between living a complete lie and living with more honesty and truth. Thank you Leonne.
Indeed we are very blessed to feel and be part of Universal Medicine.
I loved the way you presented your very heartfelt testimony to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Thank you Leonie.
Serge Benhayon to me, is the only person that reflects to me where I could be at and that I’m missing being the true me – simply by seeing and addressing my power and love with deep appreciation. That makes me feel embarrassed and I want to hide from my responsibility. And that is only because he appreciates himself and life so much. That’s life changing… Again: a beautiful sharing, Leonie*
“I can now honestly say that “Yes” I now know the True meaning and feeling of Love”
I ditto this Leonie! For years and years I was lost on the false emotional meaning of love, not anymore thanks to the teachings and presentations from Universal Medicine. How grateful am I to be returning back home to truth after many years astray!
Absolutely – what I thought was love – that emotional roller coaster and need of another person is so far away from the steady, deep love I have felt from presentations by Universal Medicine, that have shown me a totally different kind of love that begins in me and can be shared with everyone.
Beautiful, simple and heartfelt testimony to Serge Benhayon – and to yourself for your new loving choices. The simplicity to just connect and be love and to express that love is there for us. Which part of us humans struggles with this simplicity and needs to make everything complicated? It’s only a small part of us.
Esther, that’s so crucial, it really is only a small part of us that resists the simplicity, and yet we can give it great power, and we don’t need to. Super reminder that that tiny percentage doesn’t need to dictate the whole.
We can search high, low and far. When we don’t find ‘it’ we can give up, but all the while it is within, moving with us with every step and every breath, waiting patiently.
The Way of True Love sets aside any rose coloured glasses or notions of romance. Once felt, any other way is undeniably out of step to what is innately known to be true.
Universal Medicine is a place where you are given the space to truly find yourself again. This is a real blessing for us all.
Welcome back on track, Leonie* I myself can sense the power of it now, because I’ve walked the path of abuse in hundreds of ways too. It’s very precious to feel to be back to something I’ve always been. How could I ever? This is something I have to accept – and walk on. True joy*
Leonie I too have found my place in life with the teachings of Universal Medicine. I feel very blessed.
Leonie, I love the simplicity of what you’ve shared, and I know those aha moments you and many others on here speak of when Serge Benhayon presents something that’s so simple and obvious and you know it makes complete sense but you’ve not really been acknowledging it, let alone living it. And then you stop and just feel the simplicity of it. Your blog did this for me today, when you talked of those patterns of abuse with money, food etc., I felt the ouch and know that these have been true for me also and how much has changed but that more now needs to change, no push just a feeling a knowing that it’s time to let more go.
Great comment Monica. I realised what makes us react to certain people is because they reflect back to us our choices, we react because we feel the hurt of the choices we’ve made to not live in the fullness of who we are. What I have learnt to recognise is my reactions, why they appear and let them go with a deeper understanding and appreciation that it is time for me to reflect. See what it brings up for me to work on, acknowledge it, understand it and then let go.
Beautiful, to know that our reactions are a blessing showing us where we need to further understand and let go – thanks for reminding me.
Well said monicag2, I too feel there is more to let go, and another level of love to go to. And this can happen in our everyday life, just with being honest and loving with ourselves, observing ourselves without judgement. Old patterns can just drop away – and we can choose to fill the new space with a deeper understanding and acceptance and claiming our true qualities of who we are.
Leonie you have highlighted the simplicity of love,and therefore the simplicity which we know and can live, on a daily basis. As someone commented above, We are the masters of complexity and it is this that keeps us away from the true love that we are. I know there have been many times as I’ve listened to Serge present or been reading one of his books that I’ve had an ‘aha’ moment and thought ‘that’s actually so obvious’ and yet it’s not how l’ve been living. I am forever grateful to Serge Benhayon for sharing the simplicity of love.
Self responsibility is one of the strongest reflections that Serge has discussed, without directly discussing it. It’s actually something we each come to in our own time once we begin to feel how closely we all interact on a daily basis and how we can either be living in a self loving and respectful way with ourself (and therefore others) or a self-loathing or disrespectful way with ourself (and therefore others). This is the point that we either go ‘ah ha’ or we pick one or many things out that we don’t like about the teachings and find an excuse to walk away – not wanting to see the responsibility. Or some people won’t just walk away but instead will attack the work, so deep in denial that they are not wanting to look at what is really coming up for them, and why they truly hate the work – because of what it has reflected.
Thank you for sharing your experiences Leonie. They very much mirror my own. The simpicicity that Serge Benhayon presents is at times very challenging as it leaves us with nowhere to hide. Removing complexity and drama from life then opens up a space where we have to take personal responsibility for our choices something that I know I have avoided in life.
Brilliant comment Danielle. Very true what you have shared. I can clearly see why some people react to the teachings and some relish it and come back for more. Sometimes the truth simply hurts too much. Some will choose to live with their hurts and some will choose to dig deep and expose them so they are no longer controlled by them. So, the choice is constantly ours, to heal or not to heal.
Great point chanly88. The funny thing is that at the end of the day, we all have to heal, dig deep and move on, so why delay the process?
Reading your article Leonie was deeply moving for me. The presentations of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have allowed me to feel the love that I truly am. Everything changes when you start living from these teachings and I am forever grateful.
I had an expectation of what love was and what it would bring to me – how wrong was I. Not until attending presentations and workshops with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and attending sessions with the amazing esoteric practitioners did I start to unfold and really feel true love. It was there all the time – I just was not living in a way that allowed me to truly feel. A beautiful sharing Leonie thank you.
Leonie so lovely to know that by just being treated by a Universal Medicine Practitioner that this has led to a complete change in your life, as it has for most of us who are students of The Way of The Livingness. True Love was not something I knew anything about also until Joining the Presentations by Serge Benhayon and having my eyes opened.
Thank you Leonie, I too, now having been introduced to Universal Medicine four years ago understand true love. Previously what I thought was true love was actually emotional love. True love comes from within, it feels like a deep sense of knowing, understanding, acceptance, stillness and truth. I have also learnt that true love is stillness, truth, harmony and joy all combined. I have experienced true love during my Esoteric Healing courses more so than any other time of my adult life that I can recall.
Once you realise that there is a truly loving way to live life, there is no going back. Thank you Leonie for writing this.
I am often challenged by what is presented by Serge Benhayon, but what I love is that there is no expectation that I will agree with what has been presented. I often just let myself sit with what’s presented and know that I will understand when I am ready.
Being ‘truly met’ by Serge Benhayon is probably something everybody has experienced who has met him during the last 15 years. Some may like it, others don’t. I choose to like it. Very yummy. Each day is celebrated.
True love doesn’t have doubts. That’s what I learned from the Universal Medicine’s teachings. And I found proof of that in my body. Wow – this is so different to what I “thought” love was!
True love does not ask for or need anything – it just is.
I’ve definitely felt that all that Serge Benhayon has expressed has been from the same knowing I have within me, but have also wanted to not believe it at times because it absolutely means having to take full responsibility for my choices, and that means that there is no one else to blame…which as you can imagine can be no fun!
Thank you Leonie I love your title and thanks to incorporating the simple, but profound, teachings of Serge Benhayon I am committed to “True Love” also being my way forward.
The simplicity of Love – my how we make it so complicated and ‘far over there’ when it is naturally who we truly are.
Beautifully said 🙂
I have known Serge Benhayon for many years now and its true that what he presents is always so simple. In my early days I thought it to be too simple, that life wasn’t that simple, as my day to day was so complicated. But when I got out of my head, and allowed myself to feel what was going on in my body, I could see that love is simple.
Thank you Leonie. I so agree. When I listened to the presentations by Serge Benhayon I realized, and admitted to myself, that I did not know the true meaning of Love. I was aware that I had been searching for love but it was elusive and always just out of reach. The simple idea that I just had to look inside me and re-connect to the love that was, is and always has been inside me has been a beautiful discovery of the true love that I am.
As we are masters of complexity in our lives, the very simple teachings can be the most difficult to apply, it asks of us to let go of that, which we are so good in doing!
Yes, and in this, we realise that the complexity has been self-created and unnecessary all along!
Thank you Leonie, you have just described my experience of how I feel when Serge Benhayon presents. So logical and simple and some times confronting.
I agree Concetta, sometimes confronting, but what he presents ALWAYS comes with love and truth. And what makes it even more amazing is that he always seems to know what we need, he will never tell us what to do, and I always get the answers I am looking for, even though I have never posed the question outwardly.
Thank you Leonie for sharing. It was a shock to me, the first time someone asked me “What is Love?’ and ‘Who are you really?’ for I realised in that moment I had no idea. Now after attending some of Serge Benhayon’s Presentations I know the answers as they come from deep inside me. It is all so simple and it does make sense.
Thank you Leonie and ch, Serge Benhayon has definitely served up more answers about life than he ever did tennis balls.
I agree Leonie, all that Serge Benhayon presents is both simple and true and is based on the fact we are responsible for all of our choices and how these choices both accumulate and unfold in our lives. Thankyou for your beautiful testimonial.
This is beautifully expressed Zofia and it is amazing how simple and understandable Serge makes it.
Leonie this is awesome – I agree -so many of the things that Serge Benhayon presents make absolute sense and it often astounds me that I ever believed differently….. Of course our illnesses and disease are our body’s way of communicating with us and clearing our indulgence in emotions…. Of course we cannot love ourselves and smoke, drink alcohol or harm ourselves in any other way. Just some of the gems Serge has presented.
A beautiful experience Leonie beautifully shared. I remember a book title that said “What is the question? Love is the answer” I can’t remember anything else about the book but I feel that this is the true message it was sharing.
I love this, it’s so true. The answer to anything is love first and foremost. How simple when we live in this way, yet how complicated we chose to make it!
Beautiful blog Leone, honest and truthful.
I am absolutely the same Leonie, there are no regrets with the love that I have chosen.
Thank you Leonie for your story , so simply and beautifully expressed.
Beautiful realisations Leonie!
I thought I knew what love was. But what I realised after learning with Universal Medicine is that my version of love was all messed up with hurts and reactions and it was conditional. I’m still working on bringing all of my loving self to every moment, but it is the most joyous experience of my life.
I too at many times in my life have questioned what the true meaning of love it. Clearly many things are done and said in the name of “love” that we all know are not loving – so we must know what is true love to know what is not. I have discovered the LOVE is actually an energy and a quality of the Soul. Unimedpedia Love says it well here: http://www.unimedliving.com/unimedpedia/word-index/unimedpedia-love.html
Wow, unimedpedia says it so beautifully Nicola. “Love is the living stillness of God, which is found in the inner-heart of every man and woman on Earth.” – Serge Benhayon Esoteric & Exoteric Philosophy, p 183
Beautiful sharing Leonie, thank you. I also would give my power away ‘and would then wonder why I felt so out of control of my life’. Learning to take responsibility for my choices in life and connecting to my inner heart has been pivotal to a new way of being for me. Thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for showing me the way.
Thank you Leonie. I can remember when I first listened to presentations by Serge Benhayon and attended Universal Medicine workshops that I thought I knew what love was but, also I knew that somehow something was missing. The esoteric, or my inner-most, was unknown territory to me and I didn’t go there so it has been a very revealing process learning to connect deeply to the me within. The buried treasure was there waiting for me to feel it and the reward of finding true love within me, has allowed me to feel love for and in everyone else.
What Serge presents is simple but can still be very confronting as it challenges those ideals and beliefs we have grown up with, but also challenges us to take responsibility for the choices we have made. It’s wonderful that you feel a connection to your True self and are now claiming that.
This is a lovely simple account of how easy it can be to open up and listen to teachings that are based with and in love. I’ve been studying “The Way of the Livingness” for four years now and have found my journey a little more challenging. Serge Benhayon presented and presents such simple truth and I’m finding that everybody has a different way of relating to everything that he presents even though it is so simple.
For me, it brought up all the complexities of the way that I had been living and that was wild to feel that I was choosing to live such a very complicated life and that the truth of it all is very very simple. Thanks for your lovely words and refreshing style of writing.
I agree Leonie, the return Love takes us on an incredible journey, the more we go inward, the greater outwards it seems to spread.
Love is the only way to unlock us from the picture we have held ourselves in. It is really our only way back/forward to our true selves.
A beautiful sharing Leonie, and I agree what Serge Benhayon presents is simple and best of all, it truly works.
Thank you Leonie. ” he made things seem so simple it was silly really”. I too have felt that when listening to Serge Benhayon present. Then I ask myself, but if it’s really that simple, how come it’s so hard for me to follow. That answer isn’t so easy to say, because it means we have to take responsibility for how we are living, all of the time, and be truthful about how we like to be ‘comfortable’ in our lives.
The awareness of having awareness and how important it is in our choices to truly live is beautiful, thank you Leonie.
Gosh Dragana, it was a bit like that in the cold UK too. All that drama! I may never drive again, I may never swim again, but I’ll never forget how. And now I know what true love is, and can be in my life, I cannot say I will never love again, because thats unthinkable, impossible, there is no life without it.
Thank you Leonie for sharing your love with us. Being seen and met for who I truly was confirmed the feeling that I had about who I was, but doubted constantly. And from there I wanted to know how I could live this for myself all the time. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have been a constant inspiration for me to continue to choose to develop my natural and loving way, a way that is becoming more loving every day.
Beautifully expressed from your heart, Leonie. It is quite amazing how simple, common sense and lovingly Serge Benhayon presents the most complex things in life to be.
