A True Role Model: Universal Medicine = Universal Responsibility

by Kylie Jackson, Goonellabah, Australia

I have always been naturally ‘responsible’. I knew on some level that I needed to live by example, and ‘walk the talk’, so to speak. And so, I always did the ‘right’ thing and thought that as long as I ‘did’ the right things that I was being a good example and being ‘responsible’. What I didn’t fully realise though, was that greater than the ‘doing’, was my way of ‘being’. When others looked to me, they were actually seeing a way to be with themselves.

For a while, I was doing some modelling. What I didn’t realise then, was that every time someone looked at me I was actually ‘selling’ something to them. I was ‘selling’ a way of being. I thought it was about the clothes, or the way I looked, but it was so much more than that. I found that a lot of people looked to me, including the younger girls in the modelling agency. They always asked me lots of questions – they wanted to know about what and how I ate, how I exercised, how I lived. But when I would answer these questions, I secretly knew how much I actually hurt my body by over-exercising, not eating enough, being very self critical, being anxious, trying to be perfect, and punishing myself constantly – there was no way I would want them to be that way with themselves.

People would look to me as being ‘healthy, nice, polite, friendly, sweet etc’. But if you looked more closely at my choices, I used to be a walking advertisement selling how to –

  • Abuse your body,
  • Starve yourself,
  • Never feel enough,
  • Be hard on yourself,
  • Appear to be ‘perfect’ – no matter what the cost,
  • Be critical,
  • Push to extremes,
  • Live in anxiousness and disregard,
  • Always look for recognition from people around you,
  • Have to be or look a certain way to be loved or to be accepted in the world,
  • Not honour how you feel,
  • Always put others first.

People would get all of this, just by looking at me, or by being around me.

I didn’t realise how much my choices influenced others – and that I was constantly selling a picture; a whole package that looked so sweet on the outside it enticed others to make the same choices. Now I know how harmful this was… because if I wasn’t being myself, I was also encouraging others to not be themselves.

It wasn’t until I met Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that I got a deeper understanding of what responsibility truly is. Yes, responsibility is about being honest, abiding by the law, paying your bills and being respectful of others. BUT, it is also about so much more than this.

I have since learnt that being truly responsible is being who you naturally are. It might sound simple, but being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all.

Being responsible, I have come to realise, is about just being the real me – without feeling like I need to change who I am to fit in, or to pretend to be someone else to please others. It is simply being as loving as I can be with myself and then also naturally with others. It is the quality that I choose to live in, my quality of being in everything I do – my way of living.

Before I was aware of this, it may have looked like I was very ‘loving’ with everyone around me, but I didn’t extend that same level of love to myself first. I would make kind gestures to others, even if it put me out, or left me as less. Even though I did a lot of ‘good’, it still wasn’t ‘it’, because I wasn’t truly caring for myself first, before I did any of these things.

Since meeting Serge Benhayon around 8 years ago, I have been constantly and consistently inspired by Serge, as well as all of the practitioners at Universal Medicine. I have been inspired to be more loving with myself.

What I feel, particularly being around Serge, is the deep level of care and love that he lives with himself, and all others equally so. When I visit the Universal Medicine Clinic, see a practitioner, attend a Universal Medicine course or workshop, I have found that just being in that presence inspires me – I want to care for myself even more deeply.

It is quite an amazing thing to meet someone who truly loves themselves. It can be felt in their every step, movement, the way they meet you and speak with you. There is no judgment or imposition because they do not judge themselves. Choosing to live lovingly has an enormous ripple effect.

I now realise that I too carry this power for others. The way I am with myself affects everyone and everything else.

Why was I not taught about this kind of responsibility in school?

In attending the Esoteric Women’s Presentations by Natalie Benhayon I have also deepened my relationship with my body. I can feel from Natalie the exquisite quality that she holds herself in; this inspires me to really love myself in a whole new way. To me, this is what a true role model is about. How lovely to have someone remind me that being a woman is not about what I do, or how I look, or dress; but very simply, honouring how I feel.

I am now so much more honouring of myself, and I have learnt what it is to truly cherish me, every day.

I now love spending time to get ready for me, and not to get ready to please the world like I used to. It feels completely different to get dressed, put on makeup and do my hair in this way… there is a whole new quality present. In choosing to be with myself in this way, I am now reflecting something different – a different quality – love.

Now this is something I truly want to reflect.

With the support and amazing reflection of Universal Medicine, I have begun making choices to love me. This has changed everything.

I am still asked a lot of questions, but the questions are different to what I used to get asked, such as, how can I be so calm all the time? Why am I not tired? Why is my skin so clear? And now, when I answer these, I know that I am actually inspiring another to make choices that are loving for them also. There is no pretending.

The beautiful thing is, I have seen an enormous change in my life, and in all of my relationships – with myself, my partner, my family, my friends, my work and also my dog. I am now seeing how my choices can inspire others, and how they too are blossoming and being more loving with themselves.

For me, this is True Responsibility.

Thank you Serge Benhayon, Natalie Benhayon and Universal Medicine for being true role models in this world. You are the living proof that it is not just about our worldly responsibility, but our Universal responsibility – to be ourselves.

Thank you for showing another way.

Thank you for the True Reflection.

  1. By living a life of being tender, caring, nurturing and loving with ourselves, we reflect this way of living to others, and are giving them permission to live this way too.

  2. This world has been built based on effort, achievments, good results and grades. In order to be ‘someone’ you need to achieve a high social position, have a good job, and do whatever everyone else expected you to be… As long as you tick the boxes who cares about how you feel and the quality in which you live? It seems we have created a society that puts so much effort into the external, but doesn’t even consider the being within us. We have lost ourselves building a reality that allows abuse, disregard and diminishes our clarity to feel and discern about what shouldn’t ever be accepted.

    Working with Universal Medicine has entailed a turnaround in my life. I lived being not aware of my body either but what I can feel today is that by reconnecting with ourselves we turn over the established reality and start to question what this so called ‘succesful life’ is about. I came to realise that if there is no love life just makes no sense. Living from the inner-most is the ultimate success we can get because it makes you feel enriched, joyful and truly blessed.

  3. Thank you Kylie for sharing. This is a beautiful and very honest testimonial that reminds us how key is the quality we live in because the ripple effect it has in everything and everyone around. The most precious thing we can share is us living in our fullness, because the light and beauty we emanate from this choice is priceless.

    1. Living in our fullness, and with awareness of the quality we live in and with is super important, ‘ how key is the quality we live in because the ripple effect it has in everything and everyone around.’

  4. It’s a joy having people like Serge and Natalie around who don’t try to impress or to look a certain way. What they emanate is a deep tenderness and delicacy, a presence that doesn’t project or impose, a solidness and authority that makes you feel safe and deeply loved. A very needed reflection for all at this moment.

  5. “being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all.” A responsibility to live the love that you are.

  6. When I love myself in the smallest and daily details, I feel that I am truly living my life. I give space to what I need in the quality I need and then, I can bring myself to the world in the same spaciousness and love in which I’m simply breathed and moved.

  7. We put so much effort in how we want to be seen by others, and it’s very interesting how we can actually end up being totally irresponsible in what we are communicating in its process.

    1. What are we communicating to another, what really counts…’It is the quality that I choose to live in, my quality of being in everything I do – my way of living.’

  8. Actually I feel our level of responsibility has dropped to an alarming level. I was waiting in a hospitals A&E recently where it was extremely busy, at one point it was standing room only. After about 6 or so hours the waiting room started to clear and then it was possible to see the empty wrappings of sandwiches, chocolate bars and empty bottles. It was a mess. People had eaten or drunk something and left behind the debris. I personally didn’t feel there was any sense of collective responsibility to just clean up the space they were sitting in for someone else to sit in. I felt how we live in a very loveless society.

  9. Knowing what I know now I can say we have fallen for a lie that life is all about the doing, If you talk to the older generation it was their mantra, which they have then passed down generation after generation. So we could say we live in a deep rut of just ‘doing life’. But actually life is all about the being, the being of oneself if we can get this then everything else falls into place. I feels this starts with giving oneself permission to not follow the crowd but to do what feels true to oneself.

  10. Such a blessing to read this today as we all find the deepening awareness of our next step in life and this blog jumped of the page for me so being responsible for being me has taken a deeper level of being aware of the Love available and how we reflect that Love.

      1. Understanding the space that is there for another as how could we consider another in a more Loving way as this level of Love is a grander part of Love that we are still learning to embody and understand.

  11. You make a great point here, I have never looked at it as if we are selling something to others but we are, we are selling a way of being or confirming their choice, and we have a responsibility to reflect a true way of being.

  12. “I would make kind gestures to others, even if it put me out, or left me as less. Even though I did a lot of ‘good’, it still wasn’t ‘it’, because I wasn’t truly caring for myself first, before I did any of these things.” I can really relate to this, it’s such a deeply entrenched and role modelled way of being to place others (and work, etc) ahead of ourselves. I know for me I began to change this when I came to the work of Universal Medicine and Esoteric Women’s Health, and I also noticed how the love I was living for myself began to inspire others to love themselves more also.

  13. We all know what it feels like to paint the false bravado that everything is ‘good’ in our lives. But in our hearts we all know when it is a facade – a facade that only serves to reinforce the discontentment we feel all the more.

  14. What stands out when reading this blog is how we can present to the world what we think they want to see at the expense of ourselves, and if that is the case then what are we really presenting to the world.

  15. I was just thinking whilst reading that children can be said to be naturally responsible because they often do not hold back being themselves and that must be the ultimate form of responsibility, showing that you just have to be yourself. The hard part seems to be letting go of all the stuff we’ve taken on in life keeping us from being just ourselves.

  16. Responsibility is a good word but could be deceiving. If you feel you are responsible, you embrace ‘this is it’, I am doing it right, there is nothing else I am missing because I take responsibility. And, yet, we have to make sure that where we park ‘this is it’ truly is it. Otherwise it is not it but we leave it thinking that it is.

  17. ‘It is quite an amazing thing to meet someone who truly loves themselves. It can be felt in their every step, movement, the way they meet you and speak with you. There is no judgment or imposition because they do not judge themselves. Choosing to live lovingly has an enormous ripple effect.’
    A gorgeous definition of responsibility not just worldly but universal.

    1. It’s very inspiring isn’t it Monika, and that beautiful reflection of living love in its fullness is what we always have from Serge Benhayon.

    2. It is amazing and rare to meet someone who truly loves themselves, ‘Before I was aware of this, it may have looked like I was very ‘loving’ with everyone around me, but I didn’t extend that same level of love to myself first.’

  18. It is amazing how self abuse creeps into our lives and there are moments in every day when I treat myself with disregard and/or dismissiveness. Being aware of this offers the opportunity to change my approach and this is an ongoing and very cool deepening of my relationships and understanding.

  19. It is so true we are constantly modeling and communicating something to others by the way we are, as much as receiving from others. All our life, we strive to be something/someone, chasing after an ideal – but if we are not being who we are, who is going to be us, the us that is an integral part of the All?

  20. We know that we can be influenced by people in many ways. Being inspired to make positive changes in our life is equally possible.

    1. A reflection of someone who truly loves themselves…’ can be felt in their every step, movement, the way they meet you and speak with you. There is no judgment or imposition because they do not judge themselves.’

  21. Thank you Kylie for sharing your changes so openly, as women we can be so hard on ourselves, as well as putting others before our own wellbeing. It’s so vital to have both male and female role models that offer a way to live that is loving and truly self supportive. I can also relate to your words about Serge, “What I feel, particularly being around Serge, is the deep level of care and love that he lives with himself, and all others equally so.” He is a constant inspiration to break through societal norms and to live each moment from the essence of love we are within.

  22. If we are all presenting a way of living, it is awesome to have people showing us a different way… much needed when you begin to notice just how we are living and what the result of that has been on humanity as a whole.

  23. We are always presenting a way of being no matter what we do, say or what our intention is. That way comes through the energy we are aligned to, and then how we express it in our movements. Even if we don’t understand these words, its a simple truth that is inescapable and constantly asks the question what are we aligned to?

  24. What I get from this today is that we are all constantly sensing each other’s movements and therefore we have a responsibility in terms of what quality of movements are we putting out into the world – do they inspire change and growth and love or do they confirm the things that are not great about human life?

  25. This is a totally different definition of responsibility then what I grew up with. To understand that how we are with ourselves affects how we are with everyone else and the real quality that we express out into the world is extremely valuable and a deeper and more encompassing form of responsibility.

  26. The world is telling us if you abuse yourself a little more, you’re a part of us, we will let you in our game, and you will be accepted. When you start to take care of yourself, nominate the abuse in the industry, live true to your body, the industry tells you sorry you’re out. We have to read this very clearly and know our choices are reflecting something to the whole industry and even the whole world, and we have to be very steady with these choices and not be set back by them, and keep on surrendering and committing to life and to keep enjoying the ride.

  27. Kylie I connect with what you share here about a true woman being someone who honours what they feel. it is so simple and powerful. That is certainly a role model and like you, Serge Benhayon and Natalie Benhayon continue to inspire me simply by just being who they are.

    1. Honouring ourselves, and what we feel…’I am now so much more honouring of myself, and I have learnt what it is to truly cherish me, every day.’

  28. Yes Universal Medicine – thankyou for showing another way to be and live in this world that honours self first and then all others and not the other way round. This teaching has transformed my life in that I kept the world at safe distance afraid of getting hurt – in honouring myself through self-care and self-nurture I know I can trust my body and as a result all my relationships have improved because I developed a deeper relationship with myself and now I love connecting with people. A big thankyou indeed!

  29. It is deeply inspiring being around another who deeply and genuinely loves themselves. In a world that often encourages the opposite, the true rebel is the one who honours themselves in full.

  30. Thank you Kylie for a beautiful blog about true responsibility, it is amazing that true responsibility comes from not what we do but from us learning to live the love that we are when we connect to that divine space within us. We have amazing role models in Serge and Natalie and also yourself Kylie, who reflect to us by their loving and living ways who we all are naturally.

  31. ‘Our Universal responsibility – to be ourselves’ You have become a true role model yourself Kylie by choosing the quality you live in now, to be loving with yourself and be who you are in all you do.

  32. Being truly responsible for who we truly are and not trying to fit into life at any cost is very inspiring as it confirms to others that it is possible to live and be who we are from the inside out, and not from the outside in.

  33. It is really important to set an example for others, purely by the way we move the choices we live by and most of all the consistent care and love we give ourselves, and then others. Like every ripple in the pond what we do affects everyone.

  34. True responsibility is energetic responsibility when we say ‘Yes’ to choosing the Divine energy that flows through us.

  35. The reflection you emanate to the world Kylie is super powerful and needed in a world where so many women and young girls are losing themselves to the pictures that the Media and others falsely hold around women.

  36. Thank you Kylie, reading I can feel how it is, that how we are inspires others, and do we want others to be how we are? Do we want others to do as we do? It’s a very telling question and one to consider deeply each day. And this is the beauty of being inspired by reflection, today I am inspired by yours to look more deeply at my own.

  37. You ask: “Why was I not taught about this kind of responsibility in school?’ – because at present so few people live this way and so do not have it in them to present it. Thank God (literally) for The School of The Livingness and The Way of The Livingness which does live this Way and is here again to present it as the Ageless Wisdom has done down the ages. Equally it is the responsibility of each person as they become aware to live and present it in their every way, every day, every moment of life.

  38. From model to true role model – you rock and are an absolute rock Kylie. I know you personally. You lovingly and gloriously live everything you have expressed and are a great inspiration to me and countless others.

  39. Thank you Kylie for making it so clear what true responsibility is really all about.There is a world responsibility for us to be, but true responsibility is a Universal responsibility which is to be ourselves and live the love we are in all that we do, realising that every expression in our life has a ripple effect on other people’s lives. We are truly blessed to have a true reflection of this divine love in the lives of Serge Benhayon and Natalie Benhayon especially.

  40. Wow this blog is super clear, it really maps out what energetic responsibility really is. You pose the question of why you were not taught this in school in your article, I suppose the answer is that these type of teachings can only come from a livingness, not just a knowledge, for as you describe so aptly, it is Serge’s living refection that was showing you what true self love felt like.

  41. Being who we are in full, no dilution, no sugar coating and no others versions or masks means we give others permission to do the same. It’s crazy we’ve made responsibility into a doing word rather than a being word!

  42. Thank you Kylie for this sharing. It is a good stocktake to reflect on choices, focus and the quality of these. It was inspiring to read this.

  43. A super responsible article in every way. There are many layers to this responsibility, not to responsibility truly but to what we have layered on top of it to make it look like something else. Responsibility is, “The way I am with myself affects everyone and everything else.” and yet this isn’t how I live or how I was shown to live pre Universal Medicine. People may get hung up with different things and parts of Universal Medicine but the overriding message is responsibility and whether you pick this up or not is a choice on some level. We have all looked at a mirror and so what if we are all mirrors for each other? What if the next time you wave or say hello to someone anything that is reflected is for you, a part of life feeding you back with what you have put into it and then what if every interaction is that with everything? Too big? or to be honest not big enough. We play ball with a part of life and try and live the whole thing from there, which is impossible and then wonder why it’s so difficult. Time to open up the world, the whole world and not just keep playing ball with a physical level of life that is only a small part of everything that is going on. The physical needs to be taken care of, as the article presents but it’s not the whole, it’s a part. Looking at the world through the eye of true responsibility brings you a different view and that’s a reflection we all need.

  44. Beautifully shared Kylie with the living grace that you emanate.
    I too have felt deeply inspired by the living reflection of love available to us all as a result of the loving choices made by Serge and Natalie Benhayon and now by so many others including yourself Kylie.
    Meeting Serge and attending universal medicine events and modalities of healing has for me too been a life changer and marker of truth in what is loving and what does no longer reflect this quality of love within my life.
    As a result much of my life is lovingly changing from the food I eat and the way I eat to the way I walk and sit down on a chair.
    The responsibility I now feel to hold and care for myself with this quality of love is the result of my growing awareness that I too, am a constant reflection of love for everyone in all that I do all of the time 24/7.

  45. Everything we do, and every way we are, is seen and felt around us by everyone. Some are more aware of this than others, but in this we all hold a responsibility whether we like it or not. I recall being a child and looking at other older kids and learning off them, and I also recall other children looking up to me and modelling off me. I used to feel rather uncomfortable about this at times, but like it or not they did look and see and feel and copy. No matter what age, no matter where we are, we are setting an example for those around us. We may think they don’t see us, we may think or hope that they don’t register us and what we do and how we are, but on some level they do, and this can be something that can support them down the track or on the contrary not be there to support them. So the choice is ours – what kind of a role model do we want to be? And as Kylie has presented here – it is all about the quality that we bring to what we do.

  46. The last thing we would ever consider when we live our day to day lives is the reflection it is giving others and hence what example it is setting for them to live. But as you share Kylie it is the greatest responsibility of all. And not just in things like whether you drink alcohol or not but literally in every tiny thought detail and action including all those we never would want others to know about

  47. What you share in this blog is pure gold Kylie for when we are not ourselves, or as the saying goes ‘allow something to get into us’, it does encourage others to not be themselves and we all miss out on the collective potential of what being ourselves brings.

  48. I used to think it was all about doing and achieving. Those around me would comment about getting the work done and they would feel better but it wasn’t the same for me. No matter how much I did during the day I would get exhausted, irritated, grumpy and sometimes resentful. It put me off work! While it serves to commit to work, I am realising that without first honouring me, how I feel, then work serves no other than the self.

  49. “I didn’t realise how much my choices influenced others – and that I was constantly selling a picture; a whole package that looked so sweet on the outside it enticed others to make the same choices. Now I know how harmful this was… because if I wasn’t being myself, I was also encouraging others to not be themselves.” – Kylie, this is a very powerful realisation! We are all role models on some level whether we want it or not, and so it is super important that we look deeply at how we live and how we are with ourselves on a day to day basis as this is what people will get and be inspired by! Thank you Kylie for your honest and beautiful sharing!

  50. Reading this is truly inspiring, our relationship with ourselves is in constant movement, evolving, growing and revealing what we have allowed to impede it. The thing I am learning is the deeper I am willing to take my self to the true well of grace within, the more I discover in how my living way is in constant need of refinement. There seems to be no end point, only a forever learning, unfolding and acceptance of the well of beauty, grace and deep respecting holding love that is within me.

  51. ‘How lovely to have someone remind me that being a woman is not about what I do, or how I look, or dress; but very simply, honouring how I feel.’ We put so much importance on what we do, how we dress that to simply live by honouring how we feel can be challenging at first. As children we have not been taught to trust our ability to feel so it takes patience and care to re-learn to honour this.

  52. My experience with Natalie Benhayon has been that she gives women permission to be themselves. Not in a way where she gives us a permission slip or verbally tells us it’s ok. It is in the way she moves, dresses and is in the world. I always thought wearing makeup would mean I was vain. I always thought spending time on myself getting ready was a selfish indulgence. Natalie has not only helped me see this isn’t the case but much much more.

    1. I thought wearing makeup was vain too, I loved wearing makeup but felt if there was no event (like going out or going to work) then it was over the top to put on make up. Now I wear makeup when ever I feel to and more than anything love the time that I spend connecting with myself when I put it on. It’s a moment in my day where I celebrate myself and that process leaves me feeling supported for the rest of the day.

  53. Gorgeous blog Kylie, thank you. I have to agree that when we truly accept responsibility for being ourselves rather than trying to be someone for others, our relationships change completely. This is no small matter – it affects everything we do. When we choose to be love rather than be in the illusion of seeking love in the world, we ‘bring love to the party’ rather than emptiness and neediness. That’s enormous! Not only is it enormous it is enough to bring healing to humanity. True change, from within – where it has to arise from.

  54. This is an awesome article Kylie as we don’t often question or consider what we are getting when we champion certain people as role models. We don’t look into all aspects of their lives.
    You are definitely a true role model for many now as you emanate a beauty and love from inside that you gracefully emanate on the outside too.

    1. That’s true Kirsty and in the past I would never have asked myself what I am reflecting when I walk around advertising disregard. Yesterday, I had a conversation about what I had in my food basket and it felt so lovely to inspire another with something I know to be true.

  55. Thank you Kylie for your reflection. I am also inspired by you and your blog. I too didn’t really understand the true meaning of responsibility until I met Serge Benhayon and people at Universal Medicine. I always felt I was very responsible from a very young age but now I am learning what true responsibility is and how to live that. ‘I have since learnt that being truly responsible is being who you naturally are.’

  56. Beautiful Kylie. A true role model is someone who stays true to and honours themselves. It has nothing to do with what they do, how they dress. This provokes questions when we see coaches and mentors chosen for external rather than internal qualities.

  57. ‘being a woman is not about what I do, or how I look, or dress; but very simply, honouring how I feel’. A gorgeous reminder for all women regardless of age.

    1. If being a woman is simply honoring how we feel, it completely flips on its head what we think being a woman is in this present world.

  58. That is quite a list of what you were selling, and interestingly they are almost a to do list for how to be successful in the world. Lots of things that people champion are a means to get by, to get noticed… but then we are talking about a world that is exhausted, propped up by caffeine and sugar, and with chronic health problems that are overloading the health system. Everyone is looking outside of themselves for the answers, and yet they live deep within us if we only take the time to look there.

  59. Beautifully shared Kylie – thank you. Through the presentations and lived reflection of Serge Benhayon and all Universal Medicine offers, I’m discovering what true responsibility actually means. It is in every moment and movement, nothing is without responsibility of the choices I make. This then ripples into the day with all the things that we are required or choose to do to be responsible, work, home, bills etc. The depth of the responsibility comes from the quality preceding the action.

  60. “Being responsible, I have come to realise, is about just being the real me – without feeling like I need to change who I am to fit in, or to pretend to be someone else to please others. It is simply being as loving as I can be with myself and then also naturally with others. It is the quality that I choose to live in, my quality of being in everything I do – my way of living”. . . . I love this definition of responsibility Kylie. The love which you present yourself with today is living testimony to your words and can be felt deeply by all who know you. It seems you have swapped the modeling life of times gone by to be the gorgeous role model you are today.

  61. Thank you Kylie, you nominate a number of areas here that show how much we buy into pictures in life and then try to live up to them rather than celebrate what is inside us and nurture that, feeling the exquisiteness of its connection to the universe, to humanity. “our Universal responsibility – to be ourselves.”

  62. Kylie I know you and can vouch that you certainly live what you write and walk the talk. You are magnificent and a huge inspiration to me and many other people.

  63. “if I wasn’t being myself, I was also encouraging others to not be themselves.” Isn’t this the nub of the responsibility we have to live in honour and love of ourselves. Because if we don’t, what are we communicating to everyone else? Basically we’re saying its ok to be less, to hold back, to dismiss yourself, loathe yourself, be self-abusive…..and so it goes on. I’m sure no-one wants to do this, but in truth this is what we are doing when we do not live in love with ourselves.

    1. So true Lucy, so we really have to recognise and accept the responsibility that we are all role models and start dating ourselves rather than the world and its marketing media influenced ideals. Then walk that in full for others to have confidence to do the same.

  64. The world is starving for true role models, so when people like you Kylie consistently make loving choices everyday your reflection to others is truly powerful.

  65. Wow, you really are an inspiration Kylie. You asked why we don’t learn about self responsibility in schools, and I couldn’t agree more. Why on earth does it take so long for us to realise there is another way. We are all craving to live like this, to live for ourselves first and then be there for others, we are just not encouraged to live in this way….but the crazy thing is, it benefits absolutely everyone!

  66. ‘The way I am with myself affects everyone and everything else.’ This really is true responsibility.

  67. When we see a true reflection of love we recognise it, as we are that equally so. This is what is inspiring. Responsibility in this light allows us to return to that light, to respond in kind and be who we naturally are.

  68. I like the distinction you make Kylie, between responsibility as we have come to accept it, and true responsibility being a living way in connection with all that honours ourselves and in turn others. In this way we offer each other a true reflection.

  69. You confirm that there is a whole other level of responsibility to be lived that encompasses every aspect of life and that can’t be compartmentalised into work and leisure or any of the myriad of boxes that we might regard and treat as separate aspects; it’s all the same and the responsibility is the same, no matter where we are and what time of day it is.

  70. “When others looked to me, they were actually seeing a way to be with themselves.” I really get to feel the level of responsibility that we hold just by the power of our reflection to others and the type of relationship that we hold within ourselves, one that is a true connection to the essence of love that we are.

  71. We can think that our choices are not felt and that as long as our exterior is nicely polished, looks good and we are portraying an immaculate home, successful job and well behaved children for example, that we are reflecting to others that we have it all sorted, are content and so on. To a certain degree we can fool others with this facade on a superficial and mental level, however deep down we all know it is not true. We all know because we can feel the suffering beneath the polished look, we can feel the lack of love, intimacy and honesty at play. I lived for much of my life with a facade, and to some extent still do, but the more I appreciate and learn to love myself the less I have a need for the facade and the more joy I can feel at reflecting to another that there is a different way to be.

  72. It is interesting that we talk about our ‘role models’. In Spanish we do not have that expression as equivalent of who do you admire. The added role word makes it about doing, about roles. We admire others by their way of doing. We even admire someone very effective in the doing even if it is horrible in the being part and we justify it as part of what the person is there to do.

  73. Our greatest responsibility is to be true to ourselves and to others, to ponder, to question, to challenge the constructs presented before us, to be willing to understand, to be open, to be loving, and to be attentive to the quality of our being.

  74. A beautiful expose of what true responsibility is. The meaning of responsibility generally is understood to be about what we are doing, and if we are being seen to be doing the right thing, even if that right thing is a rebellious act we would still be following a belief of some kind, that that is what we had to do. Bringing the emphasis to how we are being in the world, the quality of our movements, the tone of our voice, the way we receive the world through our eyes, all of this is another kind of responsibility altogether. This is not easily faked for how we are is felt by all those with whom we come into contact, and of course we feel it too.

  75. The moment we bring to our awareness the effect we have on other people, how people observe and listen and possibly adopt a behaviour or take words to heart we can realize the enormous responsibility everyone has no matter whether we deliberately connect with people or not, we are always part of the whole, we always reflect something and someone else is receiving that reflection.

  76. The good ‘persona’ is one of the greatest illusions we can fall for and the one performing as such is the last to recognise as the identification is strong and well accepted in a world where ‘good’ is the highest ideal.

  77. Yes Kylie a great understanding as in life we have a choice to present a face for the world to see, or present the love in our eyes as a reflection so we feel we are from the same love. Two completely different ways to live as you have highlighted

  78. I had such a limited and very ‘comfortable’ view of the meaning of responsibility before becoming a student of Universal Medicine. Boy oh boy did my limited views get a much needed shake-up. It was a bit of a shock at first and somewhat overwhelming but I knew deep inside that it was absolutely true and it was time for ‘sleeping beauty’ to start to wake up.

  79. “Being responsible, I have come to realise, is about just being the real me – without feeling like I need to change who I am to fit in, or to pretend to be someone else to please others. It is simply being as loving as I can be with myself and then also naturally with others.” Some great words as its so easy yo get caught having to be something for others, when truly like you say it’s universal responsibility starting with the self first, responsible in all our own choices and being true.

  80. “To me, this is what a true role model is about. How lovely to have someone remind me that being a woman is not about what I do, or how I look, or dress; but very simply, honouring how I feel.” Imagine if this was a part of our education (a hugely important part without a doubt) – it would ‘rock’ our world in the most magnificent way.

  81. Kylie I can relate to the idea of being responsible. Being there for others, bringing order, and anticipating what may be needed is a strength of mine, however what I had not considered until lately was the question of being responsible to myself and what that actually looks like. Thanks for what you have shared in this insightful blog.

  82. If everyone considered life like this- we wouldn’t have a modelling industry as there wouldn’t be a call for it- well not in the same way- it would be very different- as would many other things in the world.

  83. “I have since learnt that being truly responsible is being who you naturally are. It might sound simple, but being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all.” A friend was recently going through something and I said, let me know if I can do anything for you; and she responded, just keep being you. And that simple response really struck me and I was like oh yeah, that’s it. And reading your blog today shows me that it is our greatest responsibility is to be who we naturally are. And to live that to the best of our ability. It is the reflection the world is craving for.

  84. It feels like I have spent my whole life trying to not see this level of responsibility, and the thing is not seeing it doesn’t make it not exist, or mean that I am spared, so I might as well get on with it.

  85. Kylie, this is awesome – to hear your experience coming from a modelling background to how much you have changed in a sense of embracing your own natural beauty and womanliness is phenomenal. So many women in the modelling industry do not break free from the constraints of self abuse, lack of self worth and the self loathing. Even as women who have not been models, there is so much of this that abounds. And the numbers of us as women who have put ourselves last, to the point of neglecting ourselves and constantly wanting to please others all the time, abounds. What you have shared is that this can indeed change, we can bring so much more care and love to ourselves, and the greatest gift from that is not only the deepening of our relationship with ourselves but also the reflection that we offer to all those around us.

  86. “I am now reflecting something different – a different quality – love” and this feels beautiful. As I have I made different choices and loving myself I too am now reflecting a different quality of love for others too feel.

  87. “I have always been naturally ‘responsible’. I knew on some level that I needed to live by example, and ‘walk the talk’, so to speak. ” I can relate to this I too go caught up in the doing, but have realised its in the being where the truth is. So I have begun to change from doing to being, where I am now reflecting true responsibility.

  88. Thank you Kylie. It is great to be reminded that we all sell the way we live to the rest of the world regardless of what choices we make. Amazing to feel that even if we choose to live miserably we confirm to others that this is the ‘best’ way to be simply through our decision to choose it.

  89. We are role models by the way we live and not by what we say as often there is a massive gap between what we talk and what we walk. Everybody registers and learns by reflection not by words if they don’t come with a lived experience. This is a great example of how we often pretend to be someone, but in truth its a doing and not a being.

  90. People do not pay that much attention to what we say, but we are all watching what we do, all of the time. Take kids as an example – at a certain age they barely listen to what is being said by their parents, or teachers… yet they clock what we are doing all the time. Our movements cannot lie, and they inspire others… to be more of themselves, or not. That is the responsibility we carry with us.

  91. Greater than anything we do is definitely our way of being – beautifully said Kylie

  92. It’s so true Kylie, being responsible is all about being our real selves which not only embraces our strengths and qualities, but equally values our imperfections that we can learn and grow from in our everyday life.

  93. After reading this blog I can feel the importance of appreciating what we offer to others when we live who we truly are and don’t hold back and also feel the level of responsibility in that to live the best of our ability to live with integrity and truth.

  94. When we are met by another who holds us in absolute love, and in the knowing of who we are, then everything changes, as we are no longer confirmed in all that we are not, and thus it loses its grip and we are more free to understand and know for ourselves who we truly are.

  95. I remember hoping, every time I found a new practitioner, modality, teacher or scheduled a massage, that I would feel this in them… that I would feel truly held and loved but it did not happen until I met Serge.

    It had not occurred to me that I needed to “love me”, not look outside for it. Meeting people who practice (live) self love is just what I needed to realize this. Now I know I AM all the Love I had been searching for and that it is my choices/my ‘way’ of being that develops this Love.

  96. Thank you Kylie, it is so true that how we live ourselves is constantly communicating something to others, either perpetuating/ selling ways that are harming to everyone, or confirming the truth of who we are. Our responsibility is to be ourselves in full, and in that we bring our all, and then the world gets the reflection that can remind them of who they truly are.

  97. A very gorgeous blog Kylie. The truth about responsibility and how healing, supportive and loving it really is.

  98. I must admit I have never taken much notice of what the modelling industry reflects out into society, other than the fact that some models in my view looked too thin, but your list really highlights that there is more to being a model, as there is with every job, and the responsibility is there on a minute by minute basis.

  99. I too have always been naturally responsible in what I do. Recently I have become far more aware of the deeper responsibility of how I am in my being. If I am racy and rushing it has a huge impact on those I encounter and what I do. If I am emotional and bring my stuff into an interaction, that is not responsible either. If I overeat and am then tired and can’t work as I need to, it is the same. There is no off switch from responsibility – it is 24/7. It may sound intense but when I live responsibly it allows for true freedom.

    1. Thank you Nikki. I am really able to feel what you are expressing about true freedom here. The rushing, emotions and indulgent choices I make cause me to feel trapped and reactive and leave me desperate to check out and escape from life. The more I choose to go deep within and truly care for myself the more freedom I feel. For me freedom has come to be a measure of my ability to let love in and out.

      1. When we are not confined by our previous choices and movements, we have the freedom to be who we truly are in that moment. Yes I have the “freedom” and free will to eat chocolate cake but what follows is a racy and emotional version of myself which is not freedom at all. The choices we make with free will pave the way for the future. I just read a great article on choices: http://www.unimedliving.com/food/food-culture/black-gold-in-soho.html

  100. If we were to look at just one thing – to be truly responsible for being our selves, there would be no other responsibility as everything stems from that one responsibility.

  101. The list of what you reflected to others in your job as a model is a real stop moment for all… allowing people to contemplate how they too are harming others through reflection. The responsibility we have in any moment is immense… as is the harm if we are not living and expressing who we truly are, and in doing so confirming to others that to live less than our true self is okay, when the opposite is true.

  102. Our true priorities in life just feel so crystal clear when you read words of sincerity that are delivered here Kylie. It is all too easy to loose ourselves along the way and get caught up with achievements or financial pressure or our images but it isn’t and never will be the answer to contentment. Thank you for the gift that you give in the quality in which this blog is actually delivered, I really appreciate the reflection.

  103. Beautiful blog and a great sharing when we choose to take responsibility for ourselves, we can reflect and inspire others. Just by connecting to our truths, we don’t have to be nice or good, we have to be true to ourself first and that allows everything else to flow. It is through our being is what people feel and see, which is what inspires them.

    1. Beautifully expressed Amita. I agree, taking responsibility and living with love and truth is not about trying to be nice or to look good but about taking responsibility to live who we are.

  104. Your contribution on responsibility makes self love palpable and very, very real – it as though I can feel, taste, smell and hear it. It is very inspiring, thank you and it makes you a true role model and not someone who pretends or makes do with the status quo.

  105. Thank you Kylie for your very clear account of true responsibility. We are all responsible for what we are presenting to the world. It is up to each and everyone of us to live in a loving way that allows us to be all that we are and not at the mercy of gaining acceptance and recognition from out side of ourselves . We are enough being us and that is the message that is our responsibility to bring to another.

  106. From what you share Kylie you like most of us were quite hard on yourself, and hid who you really were. In life we often hide our light and love, yet it is this that we so often need to see within ourselves first before we can honestly share and show the world the truth of who we really are. As you found when you started to be true to who you truly are the world became your mirror.

  107. “What I didn’t fully realise though, was that greater than the ‘doing’, was my way of ‘being’.” Ditto for me too Kylie – trying to do the ‘right thing’, not being the true woman was my way of being also. Responsibility has a new meaning for me now, since attending Universal Medicine presentations – and always my choice to choose it – or not.

  108. So simple and yet so powerful Kylie – truly living responsibly and in turn inspiring others to do the same.

  109. Thank you Kylie for sharing your experience of accepting true responsibility for yourself, in loving ways knowing that this is what you constantly reflect out to others. To be ourselves, living from our divine essence is our universal responsibility. I love these words “Universal Responsibility ” for it encapsulates the whole.

  110. True responsibility is being consistently aware that our every move, thought and word affects every other living being on this planet and therefore the quality of air that we all need to breathe whilst here. For some, this truth is perceived as ‘too much’ and as such, a reckless irresponsibility comes into place to offset this. This is how we have come to treat each other and ourselves far less than the enormously precious beings we truly are and can be again once we take responsibility for the choices we have made that have let us stray from this truth.

  111. Thankyou Kylie, this is so simple yet so revelatory – true responsibility is being all of who we are and none of who we are not. Where we get lost is by blurring the boundaries of who we are by continually performing to set expectations imposed by either ourselves or others so that what we, and therefore the world ends up with it a watered down version of ourselves, with much truth lost in the process. A true role model reclaims that which is divine, true and sacred within themselves and shares this with all others so that each and every one of us remembers that we are also the ‘real deal’ (a Son of God) and nothing less.

  112. Thanks Kylie for what you have shared here. Yes we can be good, ‘nice’, polite etc to others but what about how we are with ourselves? For example we could be ‘nice’ to others but ignore or deny the self-bashing thoughts we have about ourselves, or be in overwhelm with our day and instead of feeling why and really dealing with it go home and numb ourselves out with tv, alcohol or chocolate. Or even worse ‘think’ we are dealing with issues but actually not! All these hidden things are as you say, a reflection others are getting, even on a subtle level, so being responsible is being responsible for everything in our lives .. it is in essence being more loving to ourselves and others. I definitely have a way to go with this one but instead of it seeming or feeling like a burden I am discovering the more we are responsible for ourselves, actions and our choices the more it is actually freeing and joyfull. I too have been not only more inspired but made specific choices to be more loving to myself just from being in Serge Benhayon’s presence.

  113. Great blog, claiming our responsibility to be who we truly are reflects to another that changes are possible through living who we truly are through honesty and truth, and true responsibility.

  114. Kylie, this blog is such a gem. You lay our responsibility so clearly and the joy it brings to live us in the world to reflect the quality of love in the world … as you say ‘that greater than the ‘doing’, was my way of ‘being’. When others looked to me, they were actually seeing a way to be with themselves.’ – this is so important that we say to others a way is ok by living that way and equally when we do not judge ourselves but are grace with us, we do not judge or impose on others – this is huge and not something I or many others knew until we came to Universal Medicine, and reading today I feel the power we all have in how we live and what we then reflect to the world.

  115. I’ve had a lot of resistance to what I assumed at the time ‘being responsible’ was – it meant doing things that I didn’t want to do, taking care of others, doing the ‘right’ thing because that’s what was expected etc. Although I find I still sometimes slip back into this, I am learning to bring the meaning of responsibility simply back to the joy of being me. Once I am being me, then the things I need to do can come from that inner quality expressing, rather than the pressure of trying to meet external expectations.

  116. It is true that we are always looking at others and they are looking at us. There is a constant reflection going on between us that is an opportunity to inspire and an opportunity to light the world. What an awesome responsibility and choice we have in every moment, and it’s not about doing, it’s about the quality we are, the quality we bring and the quality of love we live.

  117. Great blog Kylie, thank you. What I love is that Serge Benhayon is simply showing us what we all can do for ourselves, that he is no different to us, he is just making choices that totally support him to be the love that he is. By him living in this way he is showing all of us that we can do it to, we just have to choose. And when we do we can inspire others as he does – and the ripple effect of love continues to ever expand….

  118. There is no doubt about it Kylie choosing to live lovingly does have an enormous ripple effect; as is evident by the livingness of Serge Benhayon and his family.
    What an amazing transformation you have made, your story is very inspiring.
    I love the way you highlight that each one of us has a responsibility for what we reflect and offer others.

  119. Responsibility to drop the facade and be who you are. So who am I? I am love so the responsibility is to be love in all that I am and to connect to the love that is in everyone else equally.

  120. Being responsible is something that I always would have said that I had been in my life. Left school, went to university, got a job, always been employed, therefore paid taxes and contributed back to society and the community. Being a responsible citizen, never breaking the law and the list could go on. But it wasn’t until I came across Universal Medicine and began to understand energetic responsibility, that this type of responsibility went beyond the daily version of responsibility, that it transcended this life also. That the choices we make in everything we do, affects everything and everyone. This is not to be forgotten, even if we aren’t aware of this, it does and we will always energetic fact.

  121. “Being responsible, I have come to realise, is about just being the real me – without feeling like I need to change who I am to fit in, or to pretend to be someone else to please others” This is a huge revelation. I constantly try to please others and with that dishonour my feelings, it’s an exhausting way to live – it’s no wonder so many people are exhausted.

    1. Yes, but many times the behaviour to please is so deeply ingrained that it is difficult to see there could be another way, but that is also part of the trap.

  122. “I didn’t realise how much my choices influenced others” I love this – someone recently shared with me about how they were on a train and the person sitting opposite them was eating salad leaves like they were the most exquisite and delicious food. This simple reflection and observation inspired this person to then start making salads for work. This simply confirmed to me we don’t often need to say anything, and the true transforming power of reflection.

  123. “I didn’t realise how much my choices influenced others” this is so true, from how we dress, move, look, eat etc – everything is a reflection. It is our responsibility as to how we are with this. Do we choose to reflect the simplicity and light of God and our Soul, and live in true harmony, deep care and love of ourselves and with that others, or do we reflect the misery, complication and indulgence of the Spirit in whatever form of recognition or identification it seeks through creating things in separation to the divine and equal light we all come from, such as being thin, adoration for looks, achievement – the list is endless.

  124. “People would get all of this, just by looking at me, or by being around me.” this is true, we are always being watched or observed and I don’t mean that in a scary sense, but people clock everything and they feel everything too – deeply so, even if they try to deny it – from the tiniest of things to the grandest action word or gesture. Only yesterday I met a woman and introduced myself. Before I was able to share with her where I had met her, through work, she has already said I know you from the gym – to my recollection I had never seen her there – but it showed me the power of how we are always seen, nothing is hidden and that there is no difference between work, life and home.

    1. Yes, we are deeply sensitive and we can feel what someone is feeling the minute we see them. What are we reflecting to each other? Is a great question. Even the choices that we make at home goes out to the world becuase we carry those choices with us everywhere.

  125. Beautifully expressed Kylie, becoming responsible in my life wasn’t easy at first. Years later my life has changed in so many amazing ways there is great joy and power when we take the steps to become truly responsible and reflect to others there is a different way.

    1. Being responsible is not hard, it is actually a joy but the fact that we are attached to a certain way of being is what makes it difficult to change.

  126. Kylie this is such an inspiring blog as it shows quite clearly that true responsibility begins with loving ourselves and living that love that we are in the world. I love the true simplicity and power of this, knowing this is a choice we can each choose to make.

  127. Kylie I came back to your blog this morning. It is a very simple but oh so powerful one. Due to the responsibility that you live with to be loving with yourself, love is felt so beautifully through your words. There is so much for me to learn from this blog.

  128. There is this constant pull back to where we belong to, and ‘responsibility’ really starts to read like ‘response-ability’, an ability to respond to that call, very simple – and I can feel how much I have invested in complicating this by creating all sorts of things to pretend that I do not hear the call so I won’t respond, at least not now and delay as long as I have.

  129. Kylie your blog clearly demonstrates how we reflect in every moment who we are and what we have chosen in life. You may have been “a walking advertisement selling how to – abuse your body” etc but now you reflect to us a woman who is deeply self-nurturing and it is beautiful to see you walking in your gentle power.

  130. Kylie, this blog brings home a simple but powerful message: “…being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all.” We are all so conditioned to be who we are not and have mistaken responsibility as a burden that we need to shoulder by doing something for others. How refreshing to realize that it “is about just being the real me – without feeling like I need to change who I am to fit in, or to pretend to be someone else to please others.”

  131. There is great beauty in responsibility when we feel into it. What we can offer to others when we take responsibility is incredible. It has the power to change the world, and that is pretty awsome.

    1. Responsibility feels very similar to the word commitment and therefore if we are able to be truly responsible for the way that we live then it feels like we are, in turn, committing to love.

  132. Absolutely Brendan, we are not taught what true responsibility is during our life and it is far greater than many care to believe.

  133. Kylie this is a powerful blog, your story is a great example of what responsibility we hold to live the light that we are. And how that responsibility starts at the very core of our being by re-learning to live as our true selves.

  134. There is something very telling about how wise we humans are when Kylie explains she knew and felt she was abusing her body to fit a picture for the modeling industry –it’s the feeling of living a lie that comes from knowing deep within that the way we are living is not ‘it’ – that inkling or nagging that how we are living feels like a prison and that it is possible to live free of this.

  135. The self worth and self love you live today Kylie is a testament to the Ageless Wisdom and what happens when true responsibility is consistently chosen.

  136. What I love about this blog is not whether or not each of us has the same list of ways to self-abuse and not be ourselves, but the opportunity to pause and consider how we each are, what this role models to everyone and if we are true and responsible for ourselves and to each other.

  137. What you uncover about what looks good on the surface, but can still be harmful, indeed the real messages that are being delivered through our choices is awesome. It is true we can feel all that some one lives when we meet them, it is up to us to honour that we feel it or chose the surface layer that we often share.

  138. I have also naturally felt a pull to be responsible and I also concentrated on ‘doing’ it rather than ‘being’.”What I didn’t fully realise though, was that greater than the ‘doing’, was my way of ‘being’.” Being, feels completely different, no push or drive and no imposition on other people and more honesty within ourselves. Responsibility was a true feeling I felt but it used to get caught up in being ‘right’ and ‘righteous’. Not getting lead by the ‘doing’ has allowed more space and understanding of what responsibility is and how it offers healing and inspiration when it comes from a way of being.

  139. Being responsible is just about being me and loving me. More and more I have been feeling how precious I am and how sensitive my body is. To feel the harm caused by choosing to not be me is a spiral that is easy to slip into. But that ‘I can’t believe you hurt something so precious and amazing’ is more harm dressed up as concern. Love Loves no matter what choices have been made, this is what Universal Medicine reflect through and through. Thank you Kylie.

  140. Being me is the best thing I can do for myself. Sometimes this gets obscured by my ideals and ideas of a picture I have in my mind of how things should look or some belief I have about what is right. When I let go of these things I can free myself up to be me.

  141. I love what you say here Kylie about our responsibility to be who we truly are, and all of who we are. What an awesome and yet joy-full responsibility that is.

  142. Responsibility starts at home and how we are with our own bodies. This is what others clock the most without even having to do or say anything. Thank you for this reminder Kylie.

    1. What I like about responsibility starting at home is the reminder that we are never really behind closed doors and what we live at home goes with us in our bodies and can be felt wherever we go.

  143. ‘I am now seeing how my choices can inspire others, and how they too are blossoming and being more loving with themselves.’ I agree Kylie, and this inspiration is our ‘universal responsibility’ to bring not only ourselves but all others out into full bloom.

  144. ‘I didn’t realise how much my choices influenced others – and that I was constantly selling a picture; a whole package that looked so sweet on the outside it enticed others to make the same choices. Now I know how harmful this was… because if I wasn’t being myself, I was also encouraging others to not be themselves.’ This is a beautiful admission Kylie that is a lesson to us all because if we are honest this is how most live their day to day with everyone wanting to keep everyone else in the same comfortable status quo that unfortunately keeps us disconnected from not only ourselves but all others too.

  145. This should be required reading for all, especially women. You have shared some truly revealing points especially the need for us to dress for ourselves ad not to impress another. To put self first not doing for others at the expense of our own health and taking self responsibility for all our decisions. Thank you Kylie.

  146. thanks for deepening my understanding of responsibility, its so true, the way we are with ourselves does extend out to all others. We don’t ‘see’ all of the ripple effects but they are there regardless. I know myself I have been deeply inspired by women who care for themselves, there is a richness there that supports them, but it always serves others too.

    1. ‘I know myself I have been deeply inspired by women who care for themselves, there is a richness there that supports them, but it always serves others too’ I feel this too Felicity. It is so nurturing and nourishing to be around those who deeply care for themselves.

  147. “It is quite an amazing thing to meet someone who truly loves themselves.” I totally agree Kylie, changes your life if you choose it too – I don’t think there’s a more joyful ripple effect out there 🙂

  148. ‘every time someone looked at me I was actually ‘selling’ something to them. I was ‘selling’ a way of being’. This is what we are doing every day, like it or not. Who we are offers every other person an opportunity in every moment. What we offer depends on the quality in which we choose to live. There are modalities within Universal Medicine that support us in this regard. Nowhere have I come across such true ‘energy work’ that brings universal responsibility like this.

  149. For many years and from different people I’ve heard this phrases: “Be yourself.” ” You don’t need to do anything just being yourself.” ” …who we truly are.” etc. Every time I felt a bit confused because I didn’t know who I am.
    Only when I started attending Universal Medicine presentation and events I got it – I am Son of God. That’s who I am and the meaning of “being me” became clear.
    It does come with responsibility.
    Sometimes I contract and don’t feel my Divinity in the struggle, I can eat to numb this feeling or move in a harmful way. But I know that it my choice and without beating myself up I come back and continue to build my foundation.

    1. Me too, elenalight. I used to get very confused about ‘being myself’ as well. I used to think ‘which one?’ because there were many different versions of masks I was putting on and I wanted to think one of them must be the real one, but there wasn’t any that I liked.

  150. Thank you, Kylie. I have read this blog before, but today I feel I have got to feel it deeper in my body. I used to think responsibility was making choices knowing that how we lived affected others – but now I am feeling a slight gap there when I put it that way that was still allowing doubt to enter and causing self-sabotage. It is about knowing in my body that I am a Divine spark of God and my responsibility in this body is to let that be in full.

  151. It is so true, responsibility is living all that we truly are, I can feel I not always take this responsibility. It is a journey to truly feel the worth of myself and be my self in all that I do.

  152. It’s so true Kylie, we are all role models in some form or another, more than perhaps we realise, and possibly more still than we often take responsibility for. In taking responsibility for how we are with ourselves we are taking responsibility for how this affects another.

  153. Kylie I couldn’t agree more; being me is the greatest responsibility I have and the more I commit to this the more flow, ease and joy there is in my life. It is not so simple to let go of the layers I have accumulated over the years but certainly worth it.

    1. So true Francisco. Being myself, each step and each choice made is totally worth it. And even if I look at my life and all the layers and years of not being me it can be overwhelming. But how can we take in the bigger picture if we get stuck in the details? Each step backwards is still a step backwards to see and be aware of more of who we are not and more of who we truly are.

  154. You make some great points here Kylie, especially about what we are putting out to the world and the fact that we are responsible for what we sell to others. It really stood out how you were admired in the modelling agency by other women for looking a certain way and they wanted to achieve that also – this does show us how we influence others and that the way we are and the way we live has so much more power than we want to accept, because if we did then we would have to take responsibility for what we are really passing onto others.

  155. Kylie, thank you for writing this blog! A true testament to the Work of Universal Medicine in that it’s not about what we do but about who we are. The way you describe how irresponsible you were with your way of being is very very confronting as how many of us do live that way.

  156. Let’s go back a few years (before getting to know Serge Benhayon). Ask me whether I felt I was a responsible person. I would have said yes no doubt. Yet, what was in my mind impulsing that answer was only a very partial picture of myself one that tick the right boxes for me and for the others. I loved to be seen as responsible, mature. That was all good until, over the years and thanks to Universal Medicine, I started realising how much I knew how to avoid being fully responsible but still defend I was. The truth is that it is very difficult to really step up in responsibility if you really believe that there are things that are wrong with you and that the tension of feeling life is hard to stand. So, developing a relationship with responsibility is part of a process of realising that life is not how it used to appear to be and one starts accepting more of who one is.

  157. Beautiful Kylie, what I feel from your blog is a true strength and beauty. It is deeply beautiful to hear that you now inspire others to look after themselves instead of being a role model that was not looking after herself at all. You definitely inspired me and how beauty is something that comes from inside and not something that is given or temporally. How amazing that Universal Medicine actually has supported you to build love in your life. It has in mine too. Without Universal Medicine, I would be wandering around, feeling empty and lost. Now I am no longer not, I know I have a love inside that is more powerful than anything else. Let’s all come back to that, so we can claim the love who we are back again.

  158. I like your blog very much Kylie, and realizing the deep responsibility, you are writing about and at the same time get a sense of how all these reflections of self-harm in the beauty-industry having a huge impact on our society as a whole and the true beauty and strength of women and men. How distorted is this way of selling images to encourage people to stay in self-harming circles. How wonderful on the other hand is your realization of true responsibility that is about being ourselves and be a reflection of our innate natural beauty for everyone. What a joy to be and to receive that! I love to imagine the world up to every detail, when more and more people are having an understanding of the responsibility to be love and a loving reflection to everyone around, as you have and have shared here. Thank you.

  159. Thank you Kylie, I too am seeing the changes that result from developing self care and loving the amazingness I am.
    It truly changes all relationships for me to love myself first. In acknowledging my own inner love and divine connection, I then am open to feeling that equality in another and that changes the depth and quality of the exchange with everyone, my dog included!

  160. It is an amazing to experience that just by the fact of being ourselves we have the power to inspire others to be themselves and to let go of the pictures they have been sold of what one needs to be.

  161. Kylie I have always admired your steadiness, power and your love and care of yourself which is of the highest standards. Your beauty shines through and you are an inspiration in taking the responsibility to just be your true self.

  162. Thanks Kylie. This is a very relevant blog for me to read at the moment. People can’t help but be pulled towards someone when they see them taking the pressure off themselves to be something according to an often invisible set of rules and instead simply allowing themselves to be who they naturally are. The reflection is naturally inspirational.

  163. I love how your blog asks us to really consider the fact we are influencing people all the time with the choices we are making and that we need to be aware of and take responsibility for this. The question you pose as to whether we are being true role models and inspiring others to live their potential or supporting others to sell out to a false picture is a very valid question which we all need to answer.

  164. This is beautiful and very inspiring to read, I had never considered what I was selling to the world and to ask myself if I am being truly responsible with the quality of my being in all areas of my life. Thank you for this gorgeous reminder and for being the true role model that you are Kylie.

  165. “I am now so much more honouring of myself, and I have learnt what it is to truly cherish me, every day.” Gorgeous and inspiring to those of us who are not yet doing this so much. I can feel the depth of true responsibility that you are sharing here and it is very beautiful. Thank you Kylie.

  166. I learnt from a very young age that to care and especially love yourself first before others was selfish. It has been a great shift for me to actually turn that around knowing that I am worthy of that same care and nurturing just as much for myself and before I can truly be that with another. It is from Natalie Benhayon and Universal Medicine students like you Kylie who have inspired me to realise this, for you are a model, a beautiful role model of what true care and responsibility is.

  167. Thank you for sharing your story Kylie. I hadn’t thought about the fact what we are presenting to the world, affects everyone we meet. I admire your wisdom to change the way you were, guided by the great example of Natalie Benhayon and also the work of Serge Benhayon. Inspirational.

  168. Thank you for sharing this Kylie- yes true responsibility is a reflection on how we live love in ourselves. To live with deep care and love for ourselves, and to take full responsibility for myself is the way forward.

  169. Thank you Kylie, for presenting us in such a loving way what true responsibility looks like, and like you I feel deeply grateful for the constant inspiration and reflection of the Benhayon family who live everyday with the knowingness of the impact we all have on humanity and the universe by the quality we choose to be in.

  170. Such an inspiring read Kylie – I can feel the deep beauty of yourself radiating out from this article; as you have been inspired by Serge and Natalie Benhayon so too now you inspire others with your deep care and cherishing of yourself. The delicateness, stillness, power and essence of you is palpable to feel. Thank you Kylie for inspiring us all just by naturally being you.

  171. When I finished reading your sharing there is this impulse in me, just to appreciate – there is so much to appreciate. I’m very grateful about Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon who showed me another way to live, in love, the amazing friends I have, the sharings (blogs) among us on all these websites emanating deep wisdom, the divine modalities from Unimed and much more.

  172. Most of your ‘advertisement’ list use to be on my list, but through dedicated self care and commitment, it has changed and continues to evolve to the love that I am. It is lovely to have this relationship with myself. Thank you Serge Benhayon and Natalie Benhayon for continually introducing and deepening this wonderful relationship.

  173. The question you ask Kylie is why weren’t we taught this at school, is important and hopefully in the not too distant future kids will be informed about energetic responsibility

  174. ‘I didn’t realise how much my choices influenced others – and that I was constantly selling a picture;…. it enticed others to make the same choices. Now I know how harmful this was… because if I wasn’t being myself, I was also encouraging others to not be themselves.’ Yes, Kylie we are always affecting others, and it is either healing or harming.

    1. I agree Jenny whether we like it or not we are either healing or harming there is no in between. I know when I first heard this presented by Universal Medicine I thought it to be too harsh, now I know it is the absolute truth.

  175. This is a very informative and inspirational blog Kylie, thank you.
    “Being responsible, I have come to realise, is about just being the real me – without feeling like I need to change who I am to fit in, or to pretend to be someone else to please others. It is simply being as loving as I can be with myself and then also naturally with others. It is the quality that I choose to live in, my quality of being in everything I do – my way of living”
    What a shame true responsibility is not taught in schools; although, on saying that, the Teachers are Gold project is working to change this.

  176. Wow this is a corker of a blog Kylie, one that should be read by every new model before they begin a job. It is so very insightful what you share with us regarding what you was selling and your list is very exposing to the fashion industry as a whole. This blog turns the whole thing upside down and allows us to see very clearly the responsibility we all have in either influencing /imposing or inspiring others.

  177. Amazing blog Kylie!
    We are constantly selling our choices to other people. When they look at us, speak with us or work with us they are seeing the end product of all our choices – everything from what we eat and how we exercise to the thoughts we allow ourselves to have about ourselves.
    There is a huge responsibility here. People all over the world are struggling to put one foot in front of the other from moment to moment or have invested so deeply in the lives they have created to not feel their own emptiness that they are not even aware that their lifestyle is making them Ill. Through our choices, we are choosing to either show another way or present an image that confirms the misery and encourages people not to look beyond it.
    This is true responsibility. Imagine if this was taught in schools?

  178. I am constantly asked to be more responsible. The moment I learned a lesson and confirmed it, the next lesson awaits me. Living to me means to surrender to this rhythm. I don’t have to be perfectly responsible right now, but I can allow myself to accept the constant rhythm of learning, which includes uncomfortable times of feeling unintelligent choices’ consequences…

  179. Thanks Kylie, I loved where you wrote ‘I now love spending time to get ready for me, and not to get ready to please the world like I used to.’ It must be such a load to please the whole world! I can see for myself the difference in how I dress, whether it is to be seen as something or if it is for how I see myself. Simple, yet this awareness says so much about how we see ourselves, where our self worth is at.

  180. This needs to be taught in schools! True responsibility is not always easy (only because it requires a level of honesty and because we often haven’t been used to being ourselves), but it is definitely simple because all it’s asking us to be is ‘us’!

  181. Responsibility is how you be not what you do. You can be active and very irresponsible in the actions trying to look the part. Doing things for others and being good does not mean you are responsible for yourself. They are a learnt behaviour to demonstrate something to the outside world for recognition.

  182. Thank you Kylie for sharing with us your reflection. The love you hold within yourself, the choices you now make for yourself, and the inspiration that brought that to you. You are also an inspiration.

  183. ‘Choosing to live lovingly has an enormous ripple effect’ – your words are simply divine Kylie and your blog is just plain awesome.

  184. Amazingly powerful blog Kylie…there is so much attention given to the outer – in how we look to others, rather than coming back to us and being responsible for ourselves first, and as you share – that is definitely something to reflect and inspire others.

  185. Kylie, when I fully appreciated the difference between doing and being I felt such a huge sense of relief as I understood that it was not about lengthy to-do lists and trying it was just about being me in everything that I do.

    1. Getting caught in the trap of doing instead of simply being yourself is a trap we all have fallen for…. but the awareness that being ourselves in all that we do is the ultimate power makes well worth it.

  186. ‘There is no judgment or imposition because they do not judge themselves.’ Stopping judgement of ourselves has a far bigger impact than we may at first choose to see.

    1. I agree fionacochran01, judgment of ourselves indicates many unhealthy ways of being, including lack of self worth and no honouring of how we actually feel or the choices we make in our own lives. This then perpetuates itself, making us feel very hurt and alone. To not judge ourselves allows us to be who we are and to unfold in our own timing. With no expectation and no right or wrong. It allows us to be the delicate beings we truly are and to feel what is really needed for all. And others around us also feel the same.

  187. For me being responsible means being aware that my every intention and breath has an impact. So takes the onus away from it being about what I do. Thanks for the reminder Kylie

    1. I love the way you resume our responsibility Helen, to being “aware of every intention and breadth”. Simple and yet very powerful.

  188. The power of BEING is more than what we often understand or imagine it to ever be. As I read this Kylie, I can sense that although we can have an understanding of what it means to ‘just be’ there is often a yet greater and far deeper form of that understanding waiting for us to evolve to.

  189. Kylie, you are a walking miracle and show others the power of self-love. Your commitment to being you, living true responsibility, is evident… I totally agree that Serge Benhayon and Natalie Benhayon offer much inspiration and support in living who they truly are, so that others can live who they truly are too.

  190. With every move or step we do, we carry all of us to the world. This can be either our essence and who we truly are – or this can be everything else we set up who we think we are. You cannot take responsibility for others (even not for your nearest) – the only responsibility you can have, is the one for you. The more loving and caring this responsibility for you is, the more you bring to the world to be inspired and choose for themselves. And this is true responsibilty.

  191. This is a gorgeous blog Kylie and one that I never tire from reading again. It is like i have seen different parts to it, some reminders and others great confirmations. It was this sentence that encapsulated everything for me this time round – “I have since learnt that being truly responsible is being who you naturally are. It might sound simple, but being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all.” There is nothing else needed.

    1. I agree Marcia. Once you discover who you naturally are, life becomes simple with no complexity or drama to be seen. This is a beautiful reflection for others to feel and see and we are responsible to bring our quality wherever we may be.

  192. ‘It might sound simple, but being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all.’ So true Kylie but something that I have only recently appreciated fully. As an eldest child I grew up thinking I was very responsible but never questioning the many unloving ways I treated myself and therefore the unloving reflection I was showing other people. Being who I truly am is an ever unfolding journey and I am so grateful for how the reflections from you and other students of ‘The Way of the Livingness’ have supported me to make more self loving choices and take true responsibility for myself.

  193. A discovery well worth sharing Kylie. “Being responsible, I have come to realise, is about just being the real me”. It has taken me a while to delve through the layers of protection to find the real me and well worth the search.

    1. Agree Mary – the real me was well hidden under a plethora of things that I do. What I’ve found is that nothing I can ever do holds a candle to the grandness of who I am – no wonder I was trying so hard!

  194. I love that you have exposed through such honesty, the true image of what you were ‘selling’ and the harm that it causes when you do not reflect the love that you innately are. The true responsibility you are now choosing and reflecting to others is deeply inspiring.

  195. A beautiful blog Kylie, I loved the simplicity of the amazing message, that true responsibility is about being the real me, and not any roles to fit in or please others. I felt the power of simply being oneself, as I see in the world that everyone is playing roles and not being themselves, its an incredible reflection when someone is being naturally who they are, and comfortable with that.

  196. ‘ it may have looked like I was very ‘loving’ with everyone around me, but I didn’t extend that same level of love to myself first.’ I have learned, like a lot of us have, that it was always the other way around, you first look after someone else, then you feel great and that’s it. The doing good and being nice instead of being truthful and truly caring for ourselves first. As you say Kylie this is true responsibility.

  197. The true reflection is not what I think I look like to the world, what I think I project, but how I live. The care and love I live by is what is important.

    1. A beautiful summary Amanda of the simplicity in which Kylie has shared with us what true responsibility is.

  198. Kylie Jackson – you are a role model for true responsibility. The loving care you have for yourself is obvious, lovely to experience and very inspiring. Thank you.

    1. Yes, 100% agree! Kylie Jackson your writing is so real it gives me chills. I love how you claim the enormous benefit you have from having met Universal Medicine in your life – and everything they bring to us. It is incredible to feel how you have shifted your life from being so attached to take yourself down and abuse yourself – to actually love yourself first and foremost. That is an incredible strength which says everything about you – that playing small and thinking that we are worthless is just a big and deep form of illusion.

      1. Thank you Kylie. I concur with you DannaElmalah; “That is an incredible strength”. An incredible strength to get past all the abuse that is prevalent in our society and relationships today, and just…be…in a world that is spinning off its top. You are an inspiration for True Responsibility, and a True Role Model (It seems you knew there was a truth in ‘Modelling’, and you have now found it). “I was ‘selling’ a way of being” – This is huge.

      2. So so well said Arianne, beautiful. This ”selling, a way of being’ is coming from a huge lack- of self-worth, that is why it is so important to recognize our self-worth and make choices that support your worth and not the lack.. Than.. no selling of a way of being is needed, as Kylie so beautifully is showing us.

      3. Danna and Arianne – I was also struck by Kylie Jackson’s incredible strength, understanding and resolve to become responsible. As you wrote Arianne – it’s a truth Kylie was already feeling.

  199. A wonderful discovery to make “Being responsible, I have come to realise, is about just being the real me –” we are often to lead to believe that responsibility is something heavy and serious, I can feel how taking responsibility is actually freeing and light because being our true selves is sure to be a wonderful experience.

  200. Thankyou for your beautiful words Kylie, they reflect the deep love you hold for yourself and are so inspiring. I can feel how honouring oneself in the way that you and the Benhayons do is something we can all choose for ourselves, it is just a matter of choosing to live the love we are.

  201. ‘I now realise that I too carry this power for others. The way I am with myself affects everyone and everything else.’ This realisation shows us we have the power to be a true reflection and this brings in universal responsibility and the only thing as you have shared, is to love and be who we naturally are: thank you Kylie for being who you are

    1. So often I can feel we make life far too complicated and this complication can distract us from taking responsibility. So what I love is the simple way this has been expressed here Annelies, and that our only true responsibility “is to be love and be who we naturally are.” I’m not suggesting this is always easy, but it certainly is simple…

  202. I love what you are sharing in your article Kylie. I can feel the absolute dedication in the way that you care for yourself and the ripple effect this has is beautifully inspiring. This clearly shows what true responsibility is and the joy this creates in many lives.

  203. Growing up we are told to be responsible, to take responsibility for the things we do, outcomes we cause to happen etc, but never did anyone say to me that my first responsibility was to be deeply loving of ‘Me’. Thank you for clearly sharing the tension that is lived when ‘pretending’ and how that effects not only our life but the lives and relationships with others.
    Taking responsibility to be truly loving of ourselves because we are precious does bring a different glow, one that invites a different essence in others. This blog has opened up new awareness around responsibility in the livingness of our lives and how it truly becomes the most beautiful gift that keeps on giving.

    1. Exactly, the term responsibility has become something we run away from or see as a burden, rather than something that deeply supports ourselves and others.

  204. Thanks Kylie for reminding us of our responsibility to honour our way of Being and not our Doing, and that “Choosing to live lovingly has an enormous ripple effect.”

  205. “It is quite an amazing thing to meet someone who truly loves themselves…… There is no judgment or imposition because they do not judge themselves.”

    I found this part of the blog rather strong; how can you love yourself and judge yourself at the same time – you can’t. This is a new marker of awareness and self responsibility. Thank you Kylie.

  206. Thanks Kylie for giving us the true definition of what it means to be responsible.

  207. Hi Kylie Connors. There are many lines and quotes that may be taken from your blog to love yourself first – deep, profound and simple.
    You are a very responsible woman. A woman that leads by true example. Someone who has lead that “other” life and now lives with so much love for herself and others.
    I totally agree looking after self and your needs does not bring a true feeling to your body. You constantly need to work at it and search for more to sustain “that need” to fulfill the ideal or picture that is thought to be it or running at that time.
    Universal responsibility brings a true commitment as you say Kylie to loving yourself first. The more you love yourself (your body) the more you love others naturally so.

  208. I love your blog, Kylie, strong and beautiful, just like you. Awesome what you write about responsibity:
    ‘being truly responsible is being who you naturally are. It might sound simple, but being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all.’ A great reminder.

  209. Being who we truly are and by that, shining out the beauty that is in everyone of us – that would really change the world as suddenly all the struggle and strive for more – that is, just fed and created by our feeling less – would be gone.

  210. “I have since learnt that being truly responsible is being who you naturally are. It might sound simple, but being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all.” This is so important and should be presented in every school everywhere. What a change in society there would be? Thank you Kylie for communicating so eloquently through sharing your personal experiences, of why this is so important. Like you I, too, thank Serge Benhayon, his family and Universal Medicine for showing another way.

  211. “It wasn’t until I met Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that I got a deeper understanding of what responsibility truly is” was also my experience Kylie. Until attending the presentations by Serge Benhayon, I would have said that I was very responsible as I did all the things society expected of me – as you say, “being honest, abiding by the law, paying your bills and being respectful of others”. However, since becoming more aware that “being truly responsible is being who you naturally are” and living this way, my life has changed immeasurably! It does sound simple, but I can also attest to the fact that “being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all” and it is the most loving way to live!

  212. Kylie, thank you for sharing your experiences. I quite agree “It is quite an amazing thing to meet someone who truly loves themselves. It can be felt in their every step, movement, the way they meet you and speak with you. There is no judgment or imposition because they do not judge themselves.” I have felt this from Serge Benhayon, his family and Universal Medicine Practitioners too and they have inspired me to love myself more too, simply in feeling the quality in which they hold themselves. As you say this is true responsibility, because we influence others by what we bring either for good or ill and I for one would much rather be the inspiration for another to make a loving choice than a disregarding one!

    1. Absolutely Michelle. Inspiring love in another through our own loving choices… what a gorgeous responsibility to hold; yet one that is not instilled enough in our way of living as a whole.

  213. Imagine if looking after self and true responsibility was taught at modelling school (or in fact any school) what a difference that would make to all the fashion shows and to all those who attend. Now that would be a great new trend.

  214. This is a beautiful article Kylie, it is interesting to consider our being as a package, as everything we do is actually presented and felt even if we believe it is hidden. I have come to realise that you can never hide the choices we make as they are there, obvious in the way we move, speak, interact and the decisions we subsequently choose. I have found this deeply uncomfortable at times when I know I am not living all I can be, but what a gift it also is to have this awareness and the tools to change the way I live. Thanks for your sharing.

  215. Thank you Kylie, and I agree — when we are in the presence of someone who truly loves themselves it is hugely inspiring. We can be caught in doing the right thing and fulfilling roles we think we have to that we forget who we are. And then when we meet someone who has said yes to themselves first before anything else it reminds us that we can also give this to ourselves.

  216. Isn’t it stunning in how far we can loose ourselves in the doing, without seeing what we portray by that. Finding ourselves and our stillness again is something that will inspire instead of hook others.

    1. So true, it’s very easy to get caught up in the ‘doing-ness’, particularly when there is something there that we are trying to avoid (in my experience).

  217. Thank you Kylie, for being a constant reflection and inspiration to deepen our relationship and quality of being with ourselves and all others. Yes, when I meet you, what feels so grand is the way you have prepared yourself for the day, not to impress others anymore, but every one of your choices is one of self-love and complete honouring of what you feel, and knowing that “When others looked to me, they were actually seeing a way to be with themselves.” This is just beautiful.

  218. Kylie your beautiful blog just reminds me that people around us can truly feel what a life lived with love is and that means so much. How we live in every moment can really bring an amazing quality to everyday. Now that is a beautifully responsible way to live.

  219. A responsibility for our quality of BEING not just responsibility for what we DO…now that would truly change the world. Thank Kylie for naming it so simply.

  220. Beautifully inspiring, Kylie. This is a great reminder that true beauty, whether you are a man or a woman, is what is expressed as our way of being, not the clothes we wear or the body shape we have.

  221. Wow, what a powerful and honesty post Kylie, awesome, the picture of a model you paint via your advert turns the modelling industry upside down and around, and shows its false light – a light which is then role modelled. Crazy and totally irresponsible.

    Your line here so powerful and inspiring:” I have since learnt that being truly responsible is being who you naturally are. It might sound simple, but being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all”.

    And love this felt-awareness on the ease of a person who deeply loves – “There is no judgment or imposition because they do not judge themselves”. There is such grace in this.

  222. And what a beautiful reflection you are too Kylie. I really understood so clearly after reading your blog just what we walk around with when we don’t choose self love first and foremost.

  223. Very true Kristy. If we had integrity in business it makes me realise that so many industries just would not even exist.

  224. UWell said, I am one of the many continually inspired by you Kylie, in how you move, and hold yourself, not just the exquisite beauty that beams out of you. It IS the quality lived in that when felt, emanates, when that quality is one of love held for ourself first, it lights the way for all. Thank you for truly reflecting the love you are.

  225. Thank you Kylie for this great sharing and the point you made about our worldly and universal responsibility a part from our individual responsibility. We are role models all the time, the question is are we true role models? And this is a choice to be made by everybody individually in full responsibility.

  226. A powerful blog Kylie on what true responsibility is and a great expose on how life as a model was for you.

    1. Not to mention a powerful expose on the modelling world itself Michelle. With what Kylie has shared it cannot but make me wonder just how healthy and vital and what is the actual quality of the everyday lives of all the models we see selling beauty in our magazines and media. Is it all an empty facade? If this is true what sort of true role models are they and worse, what is the average women comparing themselves to when they look at these pictures and images of so-called beauty?

  227. Absolutely Kristy. We are all constantly ‘selling’ our choices to others all of the time. We all notice and pay attention when someone chooses something different to the norm, (for example- someone being genuinely loving with themselves, or feeling particularly comfortable and confident in their own skin) and all of a sudden we see that we can choose that too. The responsibility of our reflection is profound… a responsibility we often choose to ignore because it is so great.

  228. What a beautiful blog Kylie. It was so inspiring to read of the changes in your life and how you now live your life for you first. “I am now so much more honouring of myself, and I have learnt what it is to truly cherish me, every day.” In the word “cherish” I can truly feel the depth of love you now have for yourself and how that has naturally flowed on to all those around you. Thank you for sharing this with us.

  229. “It might sound simple, but being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all” – this is beautiful. Everything we truly are counts. It feels like it is asking us to understand and appreciate the Divine design of the entire Universe that we belong to, and I get a feeling of each of us, each cell of our body being a holographic image of that entire design that constantly expands, and the responsibility we speak of also being multi-dimensional. It feels huge!

    1. Inspirational comment Fumiyo, if each cell of our body is a holographic image of the Universe’s Divine design, constantly expanding, we have a responsibility in making the choice to restrict that expansion, or allow it, go with it, grow with it, evolve with it. You are right, it’s huge

  230. It is wonderful that you have been able to see through the glamour of modelling and come out knowing what a true role model looks and feels like (and be one yourself). We do so much harm when we champion something that is not true and does nothing to grow love in ourselves or others. We do have such a responsibility to be aware of what we reflect to others.

  231. Everything you write is so familiar to me Kylie and I understanding the Universal Responsibility you have written about. Our choices can inspire others, or they can send them off on a path of destruction. As you’ve expressed – our responsibility is to be ourselves, care and love ourselves, and inspire others to do the same.

  232. “Now I know how harmful this was… because if I wasn’t being myself, I was also encouraging others to not be themselves.” this is such a powerful and simple line and one that calls me to absolute self responsibility.

  233. Kylie and Kristy your questions about what are we really selling is a great question to be asking ourselves. There is a way to be in the world that has true integrity and love as foundations, and we do really know that this is what we want. Now it is available to all, thanks to the Wisdom and example of Serge and Natalie Benhayon, and the Universal Medicine practitioners.

  234. A very very different place Kristy! A place we can only get to if we start with ourselves and offer that inspiration like Kyla writes of, where the quality is felt in everything you do.

  235. Yes, yes, yes Kylie – “I have since learnt that being truly responsible is being who you naturally are. It might sound simple, but being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all.” I too have learnt this from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and what it really means to be responsible in the true sense of the word. This has changed my life immeasurably and allowed me to connect to the fact that who I truly am is far greater than I could ever have imagined!

  236. Fantastic Kylie. ” I have since learnt that being truly responsible is being who you naturally are.” Just simply being our own amazing selves, truly supports and reflects what love really is all about.

  237. Great story Kylie! How lovely is it that you don’t shy away from being asked questions about how you look and feel so good! And what I love is the point that when you truly look after yourself your body can’t help but reflect it through its radiance, so it’s a win win situation.

  238. A really beautiful sharing of your journey Kylie. “Choosing to live lovingly has an enormous ripple effect” so true and so lovely to feel/watch this happen around us on a daily basis.

  239. Thank you Kylie for sharing this blog and yourself, a beautiful and much needed reflection for the world and if I am honest, myself this morning. It has reminded me to take deeper care of and with myself and stop the punishment, as one I do not want to do this to myself, as I am sweet and tender, and two I definitely do not want to reflect this to other people or the world … or the universe for that matter.

  240. ‘being truly responsible is being who you naturally are. It might sound simple, but being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all’. And in being who we truly, are all of the time, we are offering an awesome reflection that there is another way to be. Humanity is looking for this.

  241. Thank you for your honesty and sharing this, so much has been said here in what do we really reflect to another and what is true responsibility. I agree with you in ‘why was I not taught about this kind of responsibility in school?’ I would say this is far more important than maths or English; if we learnt, understood, lived and taught just this, the world would start to be a more harmonious place .. that is what we truly need.

  242. Kylie I can feel your loving reflection from this very inspiring blog.
    I did a lot of pretending to please others also but through the inspiration of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I am choosing to step up and take responsibility. As you say here ‘The beautiful thing is, I have seen an enormous change in my life
    And in all of my relationships -‘

  243. Thank you Kylie, being responsible; “It is the quality that I choose to live in, my quality of being in everything I do – my way of living.” Spot on!

  244. It is awesome to feel that your simple choice of being you and your love has made such amazing change in your life !

  245. It goes against everything we have been shown in society to truly care and love ourselves. But once I became aware of the responsibility to self-love and self-care the more and more I realise its importance to the foundation of a successful life.

  246. Love rereading this Kylie. I am in a different place to the first time I read it and have been taking much greater care of myself and can really feel that I am now reflecting a quality that was not there the first time I read this. Thank you for the inspiration and of course the Benhayon family for the reflection of what really is possible.

  247. Thankyou Kylie for bringing to light the fact that ‘doing the right thing’ and ‘being the true thing’ are worlds apart. Without discernment of these two factors we often allow ourselves to get lost in the BLUR and renege on our greatest responsibility – to be the love that we already are.

  248. ‘It might sound simple, but being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all.’ A beautiful and important point to share Kylie. When you connected to who you truly are, love, it was so joyful to feel your expansiveness develop as you began to realise that there is so much more to you than who you thought you were, and how you then chose to begin to honour this natural beauty and love you within. As from this point we realise that we are enough just by being who we are, and that this connection to who we truly are feels so amazing that it is worth honouring and supporting through self-loving choices and care in all that we do. Thank you for sharing your stunning transformation, as the way you now live is a beauty-full and inspiring reflection that there is another far more loving and truth-full way to live.

    1. Hear hear to that Carola – what and how you have expressed here is amazing. Go Kylie for bringing the love and the true beauty in a way for us all to know we all have.

  249. Thank you Kylie, so many points you have made in regards to responsibility that extends not only to the skin surface, but how we live and treat ourselves equally communicates to others. This brings responsibility to a different level.

    1. Yes, love this Concetta, we are much deeper than what we often care to acknowledge, but once reconnected, we begin to live in a way that has great respect of who we are and therefore all others.

    2. Thank you Kylie and Concetta, I agree, taking responsibility for everything we are in life, and so therefore how we do that everything is paramount for our evolution as a true Son of God.

  250. Thank you, Kylie. I can feel the beautiful energy of your truly deep connection with your inner heart coming with your words and it inspires me to feel that in myself. It feels like brotherhood.

  251. ‘It is quite an amazing thing to meet someone who truly loves themselves. It can be felt in their every step, movement, the way they meet you and speak with you. There is no judgment or imposition because they do not judge themselves. Choosing to live lovingly has an enormous ripple effect.’ So true, Kylie. And, as you say, when we also choose to live in this way, the ripple grows far and wide.

  252. Kylie, your blog is definitely worth multiple reads as there is many wonderful moments in what you have written for me to stop and reflect on the parallels in my own life. Thank you – I feel you have given me something precious.

  253. Kylie you bring to the table something that each one of us needs to hear. You bring that next step of what it takes to stand up and be who we TRULY are in a world that is so full of people living away from their divine essence and true expression. By deeply honouring, cherishing and accepting who we are it seems that this truly supports our expression and then in that supporting us in just being ourselves, naturally so, within all aspects of our life.

  254. I loved reading about your deeper understanding of true responsibility and how it has changed your life Kylie. Like you I thought it meant being good, working hard, and I never stopped to consider how loving or gentle I was being with myself in simple daily tasks. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have shown me a way to live that feels so honouring and harmonious.

  255. Thank you Kylie for your lovely sharing. The sentence that you wrote that is truly inspirational for me: “I have since learnt that being truly responsible is being who you naturally are. It might sound simple, but being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all”. That one hit the spot!

  256. Thank you Kylie for the reminder of how important it is to be ourselves and that, that is where our true responsibility lies. Very inspiring.

  257. Wow, awesome blog Kylie, Thank you for sharing. This is inspirational and powerful. I love everything you have shared, so honest, loving and true. I will be reading your blog again and again to remind me of True Responsibility.

  258. Great sharing Kylie, I have been realising that I never thought just being me was enough or could support the inspiration you write about, and I have been developing that connection to my quality. To see how that is truly what is needed, in anything I do. I have witnessed how living in full love of yourself and others, can impact others to the point it can seem miraculous. The part I need to develop is to accept that I am that too!

  259. Thank you Kylie for making this choice to live true responsibility and sharing how you have become a true role model. I agree that it is very inspiring to connect with someone who lives love consistently, without judgement on themselves. It gives space to everyone to make a start to live from being, instead of doing. This reflection has also changed my life so much, and this is going on and on by my choice to discover the love inside me.

  260. I really love this blog Kylie! The biggest responsibility is to be ourselves- an amazing point to ponder on. You nailed everything in this blog- THANK YOU .

  261. Hear hear, Kylie, thank you to Universal Medicine, Serge Benhayon and other practitioners for living a way that inspires humanity to step up and live true responsibility in life. What is presented by Universal Medicine is not just words; but a lived experience my body knows is true.

  262. It is truly inspiring when we can offer others a different point of reflection and many of the blogs I’ve read this week seem to have this theme. I am realising that I have a responsibility not only to myself, but to all equally, to love myself fully and reflect this to the world so others can know another way.

  263. I love how the questions you get today are so different to the ones in the past. What an absolute reflection of your own livingness. Love it!

  264. Wow!
    Kylie you have put into words what it is to be truly responsible. People are looking for truth and a truer way of being. Whether we ask for it or not, people are constantly searching for a true way of being and if they don’t find truth they will adopt that which they see in others even if it doesn’t honour themselves or their bodies.

    From reading your blog, I can feel the responsibility that I, and all of us, have to live a life that truly honours ourselves and our bodies. This means nurturing ourselves to the bone, expressing what we truly feel not only what we think will be accepted, forming true and loving relationships…and walking through life knowing that we are beyond amazing.

    This is true responsibility, for it means that when another person turns searching eyes on us, they will see truth.

    Thank you for this blog.

  265. What an inspiring blog, Kylie, thank you so much for your article on true responsibility and how it has affected your self love.

  266. Beautiful Kylie thank you, inspiring and your words come with a loving simple clarity that feels so honouring.

  267. And thank YOU, Kylie, for a truly amazing, beautiful inspiring blog. I love how you portray it so simple and clear, – it is about honouring how I feel. And what I truly reflect.

  268. Inspiring words, feeling deeply in me what it is to love myself and how this emanates to all those around us. True responsibility is being who we are and not pretending to be something else. I feel deep appreciation for Serge Benhayon and the truth he represents and all the practitioners at Universal Medicine. This has inspired me to live this truth for myself.

  269. My heart felt thanks Kylie for writing this blog – I can feel the love you are in every word reflecting to me the quality of the choices you have made. For some time now I have also heard Serge Benhayon talk about responsibility and made many true and lasting changes in my life along these lines – and still it goes deeper, there is more to being ourselves that can be lived and I am inspired by your blog to reflect more of who I truly am too.

  270. Thank you for your honesty Kylie, it is incredible the lengths we will go to look good on the outside, yet we do know deep within that what we are doing to our body is not right. Your list is quite impressive and I could relate to all of them. What you wrote at the bottom about everyone getting this just by looking at you or being around you brought home to me how much we affect everyone just by the way we present ourselves. We create a picture of how we would like people to perceive us so that we can be liked and recognised, but all we are doing is encouraging others to do the same.

  271. Beautiful Kylie, I could feel as I was reading how much deep care and love you have developed for yourself and how that is now reflecting back to you in every area of your life. Loving ourselves is a responsibility, and I also have had the honour of role models in Serge Benhayon and Natalie Benhayon. There is no ceiling either – their love is always calling us to a higher level of love.

  272. Wow Kylie, this is deeply beautiful. Reading your story was like watching a flower unfold. Thank you for sharing.

  273. How you have detailed and described responsibility makes so much sense. A great question to ask is, what am I presenting to others. This is so powerful, because it makes it about humanity, about everyone around us and what they receive when we are being ourselves. And I also agree with all you have shared about Serge Benhayon and the Benhayon family and the amazing love and responsibility they reflect out.

  274. Wow Kylie, this is deeply beautiful. Reading your story was like watching a flower unfold.

  275. Thanks Kylie. I love what you have written about not just doing the right things but the responsibility is in being true to ourselves so we can share honestly and we are just not modelled this in everyday life. Which is why when I saw it in Serge Benhayon it really stood out.

  276. Beautifully expressed Kylie, it is true responsibility to choose to live in a caring and loving way and to know the power that we offer by way of reflection to others .

  277. A lovely blog on true responsibility Kylie. Thank you. We all hold this responsibility to live by reflection and example. Your blog beautifully illustrates that it is not what we do but how we are that is the greatest inspiration. When we deeply care for ourselves this can be felt by everyone around us even more than we could ever realise.

  278. I too have been inspired by Serge and Natalie Benhayon and Universal Mediicne presentations to love and care for myself more, to allow myself to just be me without having to contort myself to fit in. What I hadn’t realised before these inspirations was just how much I hadn’t honoured myself through my life. It was very confronting to accept but truth is truth and once I owned it what lay before me was more and more love to embrace, and there’s nothing wrong with that! I do not yet know the depth of it and I had become a little complacent at the levee I’ve found even though I know there is so much more. Your blog has prompted me to keep exploring, to delve deeper into the realms of self love and self-care and see where it leads. Thank you.

  279. It must be an amazing difference to offer support to others from a standpoint where you have looked after and loved yourself. I have found that taking care of myself better has made a huge difference to how I interact with others and how people respond to me. If I was to meet a version of me in the street I would much rather meet the version that has looked after myself and cared for myself, it is a no brainer that this version has more wisdom and love to offer.

  280. Thank you Kylie, I hadn’t really looked at responsibility like that before – that being responsible is taking in mind what you are presenting just by being yourself 24/7…And so, even when just standing there you are presenting something as well… How you are and how you choose to be. Really great blog.

  281. Kylie – you illustrate a before and after story here – how you lived before meeting Serge Benhayon and after. It is inarguable that today are you living so much more respectfully and lovingly for yourself and you know exactly who and what has inspired this. How you have come to understand and embody this as your responsibility is extraordinary. Thank you also for the sharing what Natalie Benhayon role models – being a woman is honouring what you feel. That’s priceless, life and world changing.

  282. Beautifully expressed Kylie, being who we truly are is true responsibility. Your graceful beauty constantly inspires me to deepen my own love affair with myself. Thank you.

  283. Kylie thank you for the inspiring blog. The wisdom that you have shared with us all is so needed in this world and I do hope that future generation will have the opportunity to learn from young people like yourself, at home in schools and religions. To learn that first we need to love and nurture ourselves before we can help others is so important..

  284. A beautiful article and an awesome reflection, thank you Kylie, I feel inspired just by reading it, to make more loving, caring and responsible choices for myself, that will have a ripple effect on all those around me.

    I completely agree with your statement that said:
    “It is quite an amazing thing to meet someone who truly loves themselves. It can be felt in their every step, movement, the way they meet you and speak with you. There is no judgment or imposition because they do not judge themselves. Choosing to live lovingly has an enormous ripple effect.”

    This to has been my personal experience with Serge Benhayon and the practitioners of Universal Medicine.

  285. Kylie your blog reflects just how much love and responsibility you truly bring to the world. It’s so true that life is about responsibility and love for yourself first and more about being and not doing. Thank you.

  286. Thank you so much for sharing such an inspiring story. I understand the way of being ‘nice’ and putting others first…. of leaving yourself short and keeping up appearances. You will inspire people all of your life by simply being you. I can imagine the great contributions you make where ever you go… helping women unshackle themselves from impossible expectations by simple returning to themselves.

  287. ‘Why was I not taught about this kind of responsibility in school?’ how would it be when schoolteachers would start to be loving to themselves because what you share here as well is how amazing it is when you meet someone who truly loves themselves and that it can be felt and how this has an enormous ripple effect. Teaching by being truly ourselves is very powerful and will change the world, maybe that’s why it is not been taught?

    1. Yes and now we have some teachers who are reflecting this to their pupils and the ever expanding ripple effect of this will be profound.

  288. Doing the right thing or being the true me? I also did many things because I thought I would be loved more that way, until I found out that I was loved for what I did…How could they otherwise, they had nothing else to go by. Now I do most things from being me, most like it and some don’t. I don’t calibrate anymore (most of the time).

  289. Thank you Kylie for this beautiful blog. I was also offered a harming reflection while working as a university professor. I sold the illusion that mental sophistication was a great thing. Me too thought that I was offering a great service. And I was except that the cause I was contributing to had more to do with them get further lost as beings. I thought, to return what was given to me was my responsibility. In that regard too, I felt deeply responsible. Yet, my personal life was a mess and clearly my relationship with the word responsibility at the family was at most flirty but not real. Great on the surface but not really. Confronting in truth with this world is a journey that has started recently thanks to my affiliation with Universal Medicine.

  290. I too was very responsible throughout the years. I feel from reading your blog Kylie that I also was more in the doing and not the being. When you are in the being you are taking responsibility for the way you are and all your actions. One of my old behaviours was to blame others for what was happening to me, playing the victim instead of feeling what was being reflected to me about the way I was with others.

  291. Thank you for this inspiring blog. As I read this I felt I wanted to increase my levels self responsibility, this is something I am trying to allow more. It’s great to feel your honesty about selling a picture, I too have made that mistake and am starting to realise the impact this had on the people around me.

    1. I know what you mean Michelle, taking responsibility is really an easy thing to do, but we haven’t done it for such a long, possibly even lifetimes of no responsibility, that the consistency is not always there, so it is always a great reminder to read blogs like Kylie’s to remind us that every choice we make has an effect on others.

  292. Inspiring others is a truly amazing feeling and evolution for others; to see love and feel that they have it equally in them also.

  293. Its so true that the way we live and the quality we choose is ‘selling a picture’ to others. I love how you have brought it back to self-responsibility and ask the question…what are we role modeling for others? I too have been very much inspired by Serge & Natalie Benhayon…just their presence is a most glorious picture to see and feel.

  294. What you highlight here Kylie is awesome. That our presentation is so much more than we realize. No just the way we look, but the way we care for ourselves and the way we live our lives.

    1. Absolutely Lisa – our presentation is a deeper expression of where we are at with ourselves. Are we expressing the all that we are in any given moment or do we hold back and present a lesser version and let this imposter parade about?

  295. Its amazing how beautiful we are when we are honouring every part of ourselves and take the responsibility to be this way and the role models we all are.

  296. This Kylie is true inspiration by reflection. What you share of your experience of Serge Benhayon, Natalie Benhayon and Universal Medicine is also what is offered in your own livingness to the reader. Absolutely beautiful, and as I read this before I head off to bed I feel a deeper cherishing of myself – thank you.

    1. Thank you Kylie, for such a beautiful sharing. I particularly resonated with ‘no more pretending’. Pretending to be well, pretending to be happy, pretending everything was alright, all made life so complicated, and put walls of un loving non-communication around me. Its so good, with the support of Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and the Student Body, to be able to relax and be me.

    2. Yes I do feel inspired to cherish and honour myself so much more deeply after reading this incredible post, the way we live affects other people, this is inescapable, and I love how Kylie explains her approach now that she lives in a loving way, very aware of the messages she is giving to others.

  297. Thankyou Kylie. I too have been ‘responsible’ all my life, but not until Universal Medicine did I discover that “What I didn’t fully realise though, was that greater than the ‘doing’, was my way of ‘being’.” Becoming aware of a whole new level of self-responsibility opened my eyes to the bigger picture, as the EPA (Esoteric Practitioner’s Association) endorses – living a life of responsibility in private as well as when out in public or giving sessions in a treatment room.

  298. Kylie I love how you came to understand what people were really getting with your not so loving choices and now through taking responsibility with making more loving choices they are getting a true reflection that can inspire them – magic!

  299. Thank you Kylie, this is an amazing blog as it highlights something that is left out of our worldly education and even communication system. I used to think responsibility was a burden, taking on everything and everyone and then trusting to keep it all ok. As you I have learned through Universal Medicine that true responsibility comes from understanding that everything is energy and so our first and for most responsibility is the quality of energy we choose. It is this that will affect everyone and everything around us.

  300. Thank you Kylie. The true beauty that you are shines in your expression throughout this blog. You are a truly an inspiring role model.

  301. Connecting with others in genuine self love is a far more inspirational and joyful way to enjoin this life. Thank you this blog reminds me of what ‘I would think’ before I began to feel. Universal Medicine is awesome – challenging, loving and a genuine way back to where we are from – Thanks for your blog Kylie.

  302. Thank you for your honest and inspirational sharing – wow! – how different everything is when we truly start to look at the choices we make – with responsibility.

  303. I just love this blog Kylie, your line: ‘What I didn’t realise then, was that every time someone looked at me I was actually ‘selling’ something to them. I was ‘selling’ a way of being.’ is so true and revealing.

  304. Kylie I love how you have highlighted that being nice and good has nothing to do with responsibility. I too have discovered that responsibility is about how we are being in this world and nothing to do with what we do.

  305. Thank you Kylie. I have often struggled to truly see the being as more important than the doing but your blog makes everything so clear. The ‘picture’ may look the same but the quality of the energy that that picture reflects is what impacts everyone that views it. Very inspiring.

  306. I love your sharing, its such a great and clear picture of how we are all walking advertisements, selling the what is not if we do not choose to truly love and care for ourselves and are with this, true role models that inspire people to be self caring and self loving too. It is up to everybody to assume responsibility for the image we are selling and how we ourselves are subordinating ourselves to other images sold to us too. Its a vicious circle that can only be broken by everybody choosing to not keep on reproducing it.

  307. “Being responsible, I have come to realise, is about just being the real me – without feeling like I need to change who I am to fit in, or to pretend to be someone else to please others. It is simply being as loving as I can be with myself and then also naturally with others. It is the quality that I choose to live in, my quality of being in everything I do – my way of living.” This is gorgeous Kylie. Wouldn’t it be great if all young people were supported to be who they naturally are, without any pretence, just being themselves? I used to try to fit in with everyone else and completely lost sight of the true me. Discovering Universal Medicine and making different choices has enabled me to return to who I really am.

  308. Thank you Kylie for this inspiring article, your reflections bring us back to the simple truth of self responsibility, awareness and care.

  309. Before I started attending sessions and workshops with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, I had role models that encouraged me to lose weight, have more money, eat super foods and run 10km under 1 hour. These days I have role models like Serge Benhayon and Natalie Benhayon who support me to be the very wise and loving woman that I already am. The old role models wanted me to be “better”, the new ones know I am already enough (we all are), and recognising and living from that is the path forward. The difference is love.

  310. The way I am with myself affects everyone and everything else.
    I totally agree with you, Kylie. Thank you for putting responsibility in a broader and true perspective.

  311. So beautifully expressed, Kylie. Being who we really are and reflecting that to humanity is true responsibility. I couldn’t agree more.

  312. ‘I have since learnt that being truly responsible is being who you naturally are’ – this is so true and the beauty is when I can be naturally who I am without any of the trying, it feels truly wonderful inside and I feel connected to the world.

  313. Kylie a beautiful article and reflection for all … yes the greatest responsibility is to care for ourselves as this is what we reflect to the world. Everytime I walk into the Universal Medicine
    clinic or to a workshop or presentation held by Serge Benhayon I feel the loving care of every detail of the building, and the emanation of love from every practictioner, including the reception staff.

  314. What I always can feel when I meet Serge Benhayon or Natalie Benhayon for example, that they reflect me my own choices in life. Often it doesn’t feel that good, but because of feeling and realizing it, I am able to make new choices.

  315. That brings a great point for everyday universal responsible living in every little thing: What do you really like to show the world? … instead of selling some ill behaviors as normal.

  316. Beautifully written Kylie – it is so true that as we start to have more love for ourselves – other people are truly inspired by it – and make changes for the better – and not just to match an image.

  317. Thank you Kylie, well expressed. What got me was the simplicity, love and humbleness of Serge Benhayon and his Team, after I was dazzled for so many years by false modalities.
    It awesome how simple life choices did change your, mine and many other lives around.

  318. Thank you Kylie, it is true, we cannot love another more than we can love ourselves because we wouldn’t know how to treasure and honour that if we didn’t know what it felt like treasure and honour ourselves. Not waiting for another but to be that for ourselves. You have inspired me Kylie. Thank you, you are indeed a loving reflection.

  319. Kylie, you have touched my soul with your every word. You are a true inspiration.

    The thing that stands out me is but being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all. How the quality that we choose to live in, our quality of being in everything we do, our way of living affects everyone else.

    I too am grateful to Serge Benhayon his family and Universal Medicine for being true role models in this world, and now I thank you.

  320. Thank you Kylie for asking us to consider what we are really reflecting to others. This requires a great level of honesty and openness which can be seen in your blog. What you raise here is very important because we are always impacting another, whether we are aware of it or not.

  321. Thank you Kylie. I totally agree with what you have written. Whether we are sharing a positive or negative presentation of ourselves to the world, we are always making an impact on someone. This really brings us back to being responsible for how we are contributing to the universal energetic soup we all live in. Through being aware of our quality of being we can take responsibility for our contribution the world… Is our contribution loving and caring or abusive and harmful?

  322. I love how you make clear that responsibility is about more than paying our bills on time; it is about being responsible with ourselves, first and foremost; finding out who we really are and loving what we find. There is a quality to responsibility that most don’t understand, and so you living honestly that deep level of self care and self responsibility is going to be truly inspiring to everyone.

  323. Great blog Kylie, I really like the idea of giving others a reflection of a way to be, being consistent, unflappable. I can feel from your writing the strength of this that you are offering. As you said, a true reflection.

  324. Thank you Kylie. Where you say ‘ it is simply being and loving as I can be with myself and then also naturally with others’ ‘ ‘ my quality of being is in everything I do ‘ . Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine has shown me this way and like you my life has changed so much from it, as I build more love I take this to all I do and everyone I meet.

  325. I agree Kylie that being who we truly are is the greatest responsibility of all.
    I notice when I do not ‘change to fit in’, express my truth, although it may not be immediately, there is ‘a ripple effect’.

  326. This is so beautiful to share Kylie and so relatable too for everyone thank you. I love the realisation you share of the responsibility to be ourselves in our essence so simply and all that comes from that lovingly.

  327. ” I always did the ‘right’ thing and thought that as long as I ‘did’ the right things that I was being a good example and being ‘responsible’ I echo this Kylie, in that I have always been a responsible good girl. I love your follow on…. “What I didn’t fully realise though, was that greater than the ‘doing’, was my way of ‘being’”. Since attending Universal Medicine presentations I have become aware that my quality of living is as important as – or maybe more so – than what I do in my day. People get the whole package and none are more aware of this than children. Choosing to live from the whole of me – the love that I am, is way more inspiring to me than the good responsible girl who acted that way to get approval and recognition. Living from truth and love then becomes a more natural responsible way. Just simply being our true selves.

  328. Kylie,
    Thank you for showing us how being a model sells not only the physical image and goods but THE WHOLE PACKAGE OF YOU; how you feel & live; how you are to yourself and in your beingness.

    …AND aren’t we ALL models in this way?!

    It is beautiful to read of your unfolding to become a true “model”; the kind of model this world is crying out for!

    Powerful.

    1. It is true Jo the world is really crying out for true reflections and in my experience many are unsure how to respond when they see a true reflection.

  329. Thank you Kylie, I can feel the importance of the responsibility you present but also how this need not be a weight. How simple it is in essence; being our true selves.

  330. “I didn’t realise how much my choices influenced others – and that I was constantly selling a picture; a whole package that looked so sweet on the outside it enticed others to make the same choices. Now I know how harmful this was… because if I wasn’t being myself, I was also encouraging others to not be themselves.”
    Wow, this is so powerful! These few sentences encapsulates so much and so well the responsibility we each individually carry.
    I know I will come back to re-read this blog as I find it such a clear reminder of my responsibility. Thank you Kylie.

    1. Agree Jonathan – we do not always realise that we are “constantly selling a picture; a whole package that looks so sweet on the outside it entices others to make the same choices”. If we tick all the boxes of what society expects of us, we think that we are doing well in life and we become role-models for others. It usually takes a wake-up call to realise that ‘ticking the boxes is not it’! If we start to make changes that bring us back to living as our natural way of being, ie. being ‘our true self’, then we are true role models and will inspire others to also be their ‘true self’.

  331. Thanks Kylie, this blog is amazing and so needed in the modelling industry – and every industry for that matter! If we started to live in a way that nurtured our true selves, as you say, then we could all be inspirations for the rest of humanity instead of leading the way to self-abuse through ‘leading by example’

  332. Thank you Kylie, it is important that you have pointed out that even though you presented yourself as loving and caring but you were not those things with yourself, therefore you were selling a package which encouraged others to do the same and look up to you.
    This I feel is something we all do to some degree and are so good at it we fool ourselves along with others. I know I have.
    But then it was shown to me why and how we do this and how dishonest it is and that it is far more truthful to present ourselves, without being nice and polite.
    Like you I have also benefitted from attending the workshops and presentations run by Universal Medicine.

  333. I love what you say Kylie about your list of walking advertising you were before you found Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Yes I agree that what Serge, his family and Universal Medicine bring to this world are real role models and a true model as you say in your title about Universal Responsbility.
    I have met you and I Know and can feel you really are a strong woman and a real reflection of what is possible for others. Thank You Kylie.

  334. Beautiful sharing Kylie thank you truth speaks for itself and the reflection of this is amazing to feel and is what a true role model is about. How lovely to be reminded that being a woman is not about what I do, or how I look, or dress; but very simply, honouring how I feel.
    Something here for everyone and so great to be reminded of our own natural beauty within and the joy and reflection that comes from this for us all.
    It is the support of Serge Benhayon, Natalie benhayon all his family and Universal Medicine that is showing us the way.

  335. “With the support and amazing reflection of Universal Medicine, I have begun making choices to love me. This has changed everything”. Same for me too Kylie. “…. a different quality – love”, this is what I wish to reflect now too. Self-responsibility for all my choices, as they don’t only affect me, but everyone around me, like ripples in a pool.

  336. Simple truth beautifully expressed, Kylie – “I have since learnt that being truly responsible is being who you naturally are. It might sound simple, but being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all.”

  337. This is huge what you have shared Kylie, that the way we choose to live weather it be Loving and nurturing with responsibility of being all of who we are OR in disregard and neglect of who we are; it all has a major impact on the people around us, the world we live in and the universe that we are a part of. Absolutely everything we do, say and choose is in this equation – not one part can be hidden, ignored or tried to be forgotten. Everything matters and we are part of this. Yes Responsibility is KEY. I’m choosing to step up and take responsibility for a way of being that is crucial and what a massive difference that has on my life in all aspects, thanks to the constant inspiration from Universal Medicine and the Benhayon family this has been possible.

  338. Thank you Kylie, I realised while reading your blog that it is not about how much care I “do to” myself, it is about the way I do those things and catching the self critical thoughts and being more loving “with” myself.

  339. Such a beautiful article, light and insightful. I love this line…’ It might sound simple, but being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all….’ Thank you Kylie.

  340. This is gorgeous Kylie, thank you for these simple yet powerful reminders, ‘Being responsible, I have come to realise, is about just being the real me – without feeling like I need to change who I am to fit in, or to pretend to be someone else to please others. It is simply being as loving as I can be with myself and then also naturally with others’.

  341. Your blog really high lights that what we bring to ourselves, we bring to others and that we are all role models all the time for each other. I love the line ‘being who you truly are is the greatest responsibility of all.’

    1. Laura, what you have written here makes me see that role models do not only show how to look, act, perform or be, but how to be yourself. Universal Medicine students are role models on how to just be yourself, allow and accept yourself as you truly are. Thank you Universal Medicine, an amazing gift.

  342. Beautiful Kylie, it is very true, we do not realise what it is we are selling, even when we are not in the business of selling things! Because women are masters at comparison, we can be selling an ideal everyday by presenting the image we wish the world to see. It is so amazing to read how you are simply choosing to be yourself in an industry that markets impossible dreams. Serge Benhayon, Natalie and all the Benhayon family offer us all a true reflection, a reflection that shows us how to naturally be the lovely people we are.

  343. Thanks Kylie for your blog. I can totally relate to your list of what you were ‘selling’ to others and getting confused between doing ‘good’ and being responsible. I have always totally underestimated the impact that my presence has on others for better or worse. I have often seen responsibility as a burden or a restriction but more recently have realised too (as you have) that it is actually liberating to just be yourself and know that that is the ultimate responsibility.

  344. This blog is amazing on my second read and what comes to me Kylie, is when you talk about fitting in and/or pretending to be someone you are not. True Responsibility is about being real and honouring Everything we feel. Serge Benhayon and Natalie Benhayon do exactly that and for me without a doubt they are living, real role models and Yes – they walk the walk and talk the talk and reflect to me that I too, can be the same – it comes down to the quality of my choices. I really get it and I know for a fact now, that I too am a living role model for many people and it is my Responsibility to ensure I keep making choices to honour what I feel so I remain steady being the real me.

  345. Thank you for the reminder that everything we choose for ourselves can be seen and felt by others. Providing them with a possible reflection or inspiration (or influence) of their own choices. How I choose to hold myself (In love or abuse) is my responsibility not just to affect how I feel about me but how I feel about others and how they could feel about themselves and likewise them with others and so on. The ripple affect is huge.

  346. Hi Kylie, I just love the connection you have made here between putting so much effort in to one’s outer appearance and putting others first.

  347. Thank you Kylie for being YOU and such an inspirational reflection. I can feel the power in this beauty as I was reading the blog.

  348. This is an inspiring article, such a great read for model agency waiting rooms. Your loveliness shines Kylie, and as you say ‘ a true reflection’ thank you for sharing

  349. Awesome Kylie, very inspiring to read. What a huge shift for all those around you to see. We are now graced with your true reflection and not the false one you put out as so many of us have and do put out.

  350. Kylie, thank you for this inspirational blog. You high-light so well the extent of responsibility. I can relate so well to what you say, how I would be caring of others putting everyone else first, being good and nice. Since coming across Universal Medicine I have been inspired to love and take care of myself and bring this to my life and others.

  351. “it may have looked like I was very ‘loving’ with everyone around me, but I didn’t extend that same level of love to myself first. I would make kind gestures to others, even if it put me out, or left me as less. Even though I did a lot of ‘good’, it still wasn’t ‘it’, because I wasn’t truly caring for myself first, before I did any of these things.” I can so relate to this Kylie. I have been “responsible” and good and nice but my level of being was nowhere near love. Things are changing for me now since being inspired by the amazing role models of the Benhayon family, who walk their talk and are love first before they “do” anything.

  352. Thank you Kylie for this inspiring blog. I too spent a good while contemplating what true responsibility is before I came to Universal Medicine and even wrote a paper on it. It was all good stuff, but I hadn’t considered that the way I was with me in my body ALL THE TIME is what counts, and that means feeling how everything affects me and letting go of that which doesn’t feel loving for me.
    At the time I wrote my paper I was still drinking alcohol and thought there was nothing wrong with a glass of wine now and again, of course there is nothing wrong with that but if I want to feel the truth of who I am and therefore be truly responsible I cannot feel it, or be it, if I drink alcohol. I know that now. And that is only because I brought more attention to what I was doing and allowed myself to feel the consequences. There are so many other things that get in the way as you clearly outline but what a freeing and enlightening journey if we are able to commit to this honouring of ourselves. Love the list you shared of the other things that get in the way.

  353. Felt great reading this blog, honesty and clarity, really lovely. A “true reflection” is what I felt reading this blog. Thank you Kylie.

  354. Kylie, I love the way you start this blog with those seemingly harsh realisations but say it in such a loving way. An awesome sense of “not beating yourself up” or self-judgement. It’s just so lovely to hear you say “yep, that was what I believed” but then take the time to truly appreciate where you are today. I feel like I am getting to share that with you and so this is a testament to your honest expression – you are a role model for sure and it’s lovely to be inspired by you.

  355. Wow Kylie this is such an amazing blog, you are so correct, everything we project whether loving or harmful confirms another person that this behaviour is ok, even if it hurts them. In this we have a huge but amazing responsibility all the time to be true to ourselves and to always deepen our own care and love for ourselves and others. Having been also in the presence of Serge Benhayon and Natalie Benhayon I can attest too to the fact that the amazing deep love they have for themselves and the quality in which they choose to live is incredibly inspiring, and definitely makes me want to take better care of myself too.

  356. Wow Kylie, what a blessing this blog is, an inspiration to all women who can feel the true love and beauty in every word that you have shared. You have really brought it home to us what responsibility actually means – a love affair with yourself that then expands out to everyone and everything – thank you.

  357. This is an amazing blog that I could read over and over again. I love the way you initially describe responsibility as a ‘doing’ which feels so individual and then how the true meaning of that word has emerged which encompasses a universal responsibility. How beautifully simple and yet so profound. I always oscillated from not being responsible to over responsibility and I started to feel that word was too loaded for me, I became wary of it because I created a tension and struggle around it. This blog confirms so much that I now feel and know. That the way I used to view Responsibility was false and it is just simply being myself and the quality in which I live is my True Responsibility. Thank you for sharing this.

  358. Thank you Kylie, I can feel it is so true what you share about the responsibility to be our true selves. What do we bring to others through niceness, if we are not being true to who we are. I can feel in your writing the powerful reflection of you being you, self caring, nurturing and deeply respectful for yourself and bringing that quality to the world, amazing.

  359. Thank you Kylie for a beautiful blog from a beautiful soul, your inspirational light and reflection is awesome.

  360. Thank you Kylie, your story should be in every magazine that is selling an idea. We need more role models like you! A fantastic example of true responsibility.
    Very inspiring

  361. Thank you Kylie for such a deep and sincere sharing of your life.
    You are a real role model and the world is blessed now that you are the real you.
    Yes, I agree we all have a responsibility to be deeply loving with ourself and be real so that this quality inspires others.

  362. Wow you are such a great role model! I wish all teenagers and twenty somethings in particular could read this post – there is so much pressure on how to look and be; it is so damaging. So many people looking outside of themselves to glamour, with very few really showing their true selves. Having true role models like you is inspiring for so many.

  363. Being resonsible for oneself is listening to yourself, nothing is an accident. A friend of mine fell and could not get up, she was in a lot of pain, and had a history of illness. When I saw her she was pale and limping, but said she was fine. When she fell, she became very scared. I made her as comfortable as I could. She was very resistant to calling for help. I said that it felt like she has been taking care of people all her life. She looked and me and agreed and tears came into her eyes. I suggested that her body was telling her to stop and take care of herself, and because she was not listening, her body was “talking” louder. This brought more tears.

    I have been involved with UniMed for 3 years. Listening to my body has been my path to true responsibility to myself, my body speaks the truth. Thanks Ken Elmer.

  364. Thank you for writing so movingly about the True Responsibility we have to reflect ‘my quality of being in everything I do – my way of living’. This definitely needs to be part of the education system.

  365. Great blog. ‘It is the quality that I choose to live in, my quality of being in everything I do – my way of living.’ That’s something to live by. Thanks, Kylie.

  366. This is such a great example of what it means to be a true role model and inspiration for everyone, especially women in the modelling field. It made me want to revisit how I can be more loving towards myself.

  367. Your expression has simply Stunned me Kylie. I read it and I cried throughout. I didn’t want to move or do anything for ages after I finished reading. It was almost as if I didn’t want anything to get in the way of the enormity of the glory that had just ‘hit me’. In the days which followed I revisited it again and again…till I was ready to share my gratitude for what you’ve put in words.

    There is no doubt in my mind that a woman whose Heart is (Truly) Open and whose Expression is Joy, is Beautiful no matter what she wears, what she does and what her physical features are like. You Kylie are a woman Full of Beauty.

  368. Thank you Kylie. I could feel your truth and you have explained the truth in responsibility really well.

  369. Beautifully written Kylie. Thank you for sharing your wisdom – not only in your words, but in the ever-consistent loveliness of ‘you being yourself’ in your graceful presence.

    I am ever-inspired by you, to also just be me – nothing to ‘live up to’, or seek to become – just be me, and honour how lovely that can be.

  370. Dear Kylie, I am so pleased to read your blog. When I first had a session with you I strove to express what I felt – I remember saying “it’s like a trip to Paris”. I loved Paris and feel it is a feminine city. There is something so beyond the everyday, such deep loveliness in you. For me spending time with you is time with beauty itself.

  371. Hear, hear, your words touched me deeply and the words below definitely strung a chord in my body:

    “It is quite an amazing thing to meet someone who truly loves themselves. It can be felt in their every step, movement, the way they meet you and speak with you. There is no judgement or imposition because they do not judge themselves. Choosing to live lovingly has an enormous ripple effect.”

    Thank you Kylie for your ongoing inspiration.

    1. Beautifully expressed, Gayle. And Kylie, what a fabulous blog. You captured so clearly the difference between doing and being and how we can be so unconscious of our responsibility. I spent 15 years practicing kinesiology before meeting Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and had believed I was being responsible and was doing good. However, on being shown the example by Serge and the other members of the Benhayon family and esoteric practitioners, I have come to realise how irresponsible I had been and that true responsibility starts with self-love. Like you I was in disregard of myself and lacked all self-love. To see how much I and my wife were in disregard see our blog, “A Picture’s Worth A Thousand Words – with a few of the words” on truthaboutsergebenhayon.com.

  372. This is an awesome blog in simplicity and being the glory of who we are. Knowing Kylie and her commitment to be herself I can say all of the above is true, but even if I didn’t know her, I would still be able to feel the truth and absolute honesty in what has been shared. This is an amazing blog for any young woman who may be struggling with the societal rules of “it it all about how you look”. Thanks Kylie.

  373. This was utterly beautiful to read, inspiring and gorgeous to feel your own exquisiteness. Thank you Kylie.

  374. What an amazing line: “That… being a woman is not about what I do, or how I look, or dress; but very simply, honouring how I feel.” Kylie has raised us all up by bringing us a true definition of what it is to be a woman. Simple, heart-full and true. Thanks Kylie.

  375. Thank you Kylie for sharing the realisations you have had. A great exposure of the importance of the “being” rather than the “doing”. I loved the list you shared about what you were really selling by being “nice” etc. A real trap we can fall into. Great to see all this and be inspired to know there is so much more to responsibility. It is, as you say, Universal.

  376. Dear Kylie, this was so Beautiful. I love every single word you have written. The love is felt by you writing. Not to forget mentioning that you are the living proof as well. You do truly inspire me. So awesome to hear you talking about your life before without any criticism, I can learn definitely from that one…

    “Universal responsibility – be ourselves” felt the depth of how far responsibility goes, wow! Thank you Kylie for sharing.

  377. This is truly beauty full Kylie and I can feel you truth in every word. What an inspiration you are and having shared some time with you, I have been graced by your reflection. Awesome.

  378. Imagine if all successful models were like you are now? The modelling industry might actually truly serve to inspire women young and old. Wow, imagine that — truly responsible, deeply self-loving models?!..How sad that this seems like an absurd proposition because we are so used to, and acclimatized to, the harm that is caused by the modelling industry on women’s self-image. Thanks Kylie Jackson for calling this out and thanks for walking the talk, you are one of my role models and inspired me that I can love putting on my makeup in a total celebration of me and not because ‘I shouldn’t leave the house without my ‘face on’!’. Big ups to you and your loveliness.

    1. Big Ups indeed, I am also loving your expression Rebecca. Sometimes I wish I could have the opportunity to celebrate my face with make-up but currently society is not always digging that, however I have found my expression by giving myself the time in the morning (and evening) to celebrate my face with a gentle close shave, a cool sensitive shaving gel and a delicious moisturizer…the whole process is so loving and quite revealing. Especially in the evening as the way I do it often tells me the story of how I lived my day. Isn’t it so cool when you start getting to those depths within yourself…It’s true people do stop and ask you questions about how you look the way you do, and sometimes it feels the answer is too simple…I just take real care of myself. It’s beautiful.

    2. I love this Rebecca: “I can love putting on my makeup in a total celebration of me and not because ‘I shouldn’t leave the house without my ‘face on’!’” – there is such a different quality to how I put on makeup, if it is in adoration of me, or if I am trying to look a certain way or fit a certain picture

  379. Brilliant Kylie! It is so good to read about the science of reflection written so clearly so that anyone in the world (and universally!) can understand what you are saying. This blog is really serving!

    The fact of ‘the power of being love’ as the true healing power has been the most wonderful eye-opener for me, and one that I had only encountered in presentations by Serge Benhayon. It just blew me away how far from my own natural way and beauty I had strayed, how difficult life lived from the mind had become, and how lifeless was the life I lived. Choosing to be responsible for my own quality of love and to be that as much as I can in life has brought such joy.

    Thank you for your gorgeous blog!
