By Alan Johnston, Pottsville
During the recent ‘Sacred Esoteric Healing – Level Three’ course presented by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, something occurred that I am compelled to put in writing, in a sense a contract with myself. Care to witness?
Working in a group with other students I was struck, literally like a bell, by another student’s singular expression of her unwavering relationship to the Truth of who she is. It was an amazingly transformative communication and, as love always is, oh so simple.
Later, at the start of a lunch-break, I was able to ask her more about what she described as her ‘rock’.
How great it is when someone is just fully who they really are. Nothing in the way, nothing modified, no self-consideration.
What ensued was a direct pointing back to me, which at that moment felt divine. I was able to get how I had been making a subtle separation between my life, the everyday livingness, and the divine. Not one, but two. Not God immanent, but a breath and more away.
Hah to that falsehood!
How can we ever be foolish enough to think our purpose is to be individuals and seek to isolate ourselves in comfort and protection from each other when there is so much for us to be inspired by and learn together of the love we are within, the divine love that unifies us inescapably so, that which we are here to live.
” I had been making a subtle separation between my life, the everyday livingness, and the divine.” Great to read this today and reconsider my relationship with the divine. Thankyou Alan.
The beauty of oneness in action is an open invitation for further embracing the divine, our life and ourselves as one as well.
This is when you really know that communication is more than just words, but your entire livingness (way of life). We can lie in our words, but we can’t hide the truth our body is communicating, endlessly so.
I have read this a few times before but had to re-read it a quite few times again this time for me to really get this. Every time it felt like I was guessing what you were trying to convey in these words, and really, I have come to a point that it just had to be felt. Such is a power of reflection. Take it, or leave it. Be inspired, or not.
To be inspired by another and then to give ourselves the space to really feel as to why we are inspired and to take it to the next step as to what we could then change in our lives to be the inspiration we saw in another is a great thing … and something if I am honest I do not fully see through. Something for me to reflect on as to why.
What a reflection for you to feel Alan and a pivotal moment when we see something that we hadn’t seen before. As the clarity of this unfolds, how have we not noticed this before when it is right there to be felt?
Don’t you love it when you dismantle a falsehood? I sure do. It’s like a weight has been lifted and the subsequent feeling of liberation is glorious, and usually way overdue.
Many of us go through life not truly knowing who we are and I was one of them, I didn’t allow myself to acknowledge what I felt, my opinions were not my own, how I dressed and how I lived were not directly from me. That is changing now.
” I had been making a subtle separation between my life, the everyday livingness, and the divine.”
What a learning , its so wonderfull how simply this revelation was brought to you thank you for sharing Alan.
We belong to an infinite oneness but so often we live our lives in parts.
A oneness which is always waiting for us to come home, and just a breath away.
To be open and willing to be inspired by another is a great thing and then in expressing this has supported others, including myself, to reflect and ask ourselves the same question ‘where in our lives are we living in separation from the innate love that resides within’. I can see I am doing this in many ways .. not to beat myself up with, but instead it provides a greater awareness and pondering as to why am I and what I need to change within my life so I no longer am living this way.
I find when I bring God into everyday life everything I do changes – the way I sit, the way I walk, the way I cook, how I care for the house, all the little mundane things become magnificent.
It is amazing when we empty all of the parts of us we have put in boxes and put on the shelves with us, and simply just be all of who we truly are all of the time. The magic of life begins when we hold back and reserve nothing!
It’s interesting how we can know truth but still feel that we are separate from it. Thanks Alan.
Beautifully and poetically put Alan. We make a spaghetti junction of complexity and Empire State Building of ‘issues’ when the truth of us and Love is simplicity. Thank you for the reminder.
I feel it’s that reflection of someone living their divinity that stops us in our tracks. It’s the evidence that opens us up to that possibility that we can live that ourselves, because there it is real and tangible right in front of our eyes. It’s not s book, it’s not a scripture, it’s not a promise or a presentation, it’s a living way.
When we are offered moments of pure divinity in our lives, boy, they are worth a moment or several to reflect and appreciate.
Powerful realization Alan, and yes we are already everything within ourselves- all that is needed is for us to align to that which is from the divine.
The relationship we have with the divine is with us all the time, waiting for us to know it is there, and live with it as a knowing.
” something occurred that I am compelled to put in writing, in a sense a contract with myself. Care to witness”
I care and I have witnessed , thanks for sharing Alan.
There is magic on offer when we accept and embrace someone in their power. It can be common to react and for us to go into comparison, but when we appreciate them we can take their reflection and deepen ourselves.
That’s exactly it Nikki, we can use it as inspiration and as a true marker for what’s possible for us to say “yes” to and live as well. We all have the same available to us equally, that’s how love works.
I love those small moments where another person can completely inspire you to see the world in a whole new way, ultimate proof that we can only do this together.
As you share that love is simple, so your sharing is likewise and as inspiring. Thank you Alan.
It is oh so good when we get out of the complexity – and break out the falsity – seeing the absolute clarity of what has been false (laid down previous as good, made to believe as good). Nothing is more freeing than seeing the evil in the good – and rise beyond and see what true beauty (truth) is.
When the truth is spoken or presented there is no complexities, its absolute. I loved your sharing, its simple, powerful and something for all to ponder with.
Recently I am in awe of the reflections we give each other, as everything is there to accelerate us back to the truth of who we are and where we come from.
So great to read this Alan, thank you. I’ve been making this (false) distinction too. It’s reminding me I don’t have to. Actually, I never did. There is no separation, other than the one we create for ourselves.
Such a great point, Victoria, that truly there is no separation, it just feels like there is and we make that illusion our reality and our truth.
Just a breath away can blow us off course or to feel the in-breath of God can bring us back to our Divinity.
Thank you Mary for highlighting the simplicity of connection.
There is so much power in the reflection of another living who they are in full – this is why we must all not hold back, as we never know how powerful our own reflection is, nor the missed opportunities if we hold back.
A big catch of the falsehood we have allowed our lives to roll from. Instead of the absolute truth we know to be true – that we had simply put a side to experiment the creation it could taste. One big mistake. Yet the absoluteness of truth we know – has never seased and is not ready inside us to be taken out and be lived.
The reflection offered when another lives and claims their truth is a beautiful moment, as it also reminds us we are equally this too.
We have reflections from everyone and everything in nature constantly. But our willingness to use these reflections to support the awareness and understanding of who we are and who we are not. Thats what makes it amazing.
As enjoyable a-read again Alan as each time previously, and a beautifully captured and succinct reminder that we are already everything, and there is nothing and nowhere to ‘go’… which is what creates a separation between who we think we are, and God.
Getting the fullness of another person is just a blessing.
And is it love that holds it all together?
Thank you Alan for sharing this beautiful experience of another’s reflection simple, clear and very powerful when we are open to receive.
Beautiful story of the power of reflection and the alchemy that occurs when one is willing to accept the offer.
The fact is that we can never truly be separate from our divinity, from God. It is only that we think we can, and live under the illusion that we have. Yet all that while the tension, the restlessness and the agitation we feel and experience from resisting living our divinity continues to rattle our bones, forever reminding us of the truth, the oneness that we are in separately part of, which is what ultimately confirms all that we are in essence.
That is true and even when we don’t make that distinction we then have the tension to be more.
The way you write inspires me to no end, I have never published a blog because it feels too big, too overwhelming and a little scary. When I read your little windows into your experiences all of those fears seem like they just melt away, it feels achievable; thank you, for reflecting this to me.
Sarah I always read your comments because I get so much from them, it’s amazing what you share and how you uniquely express. It would be awesome to get a blog from you, just you expressing you – simple!
Ah yes. Simplicity inspires us to return to the truth of who we are – often a great disappointment for that part of us that has revelled in the complexity of life and the identification it offers.
The real evil of life lies in the belief that God and everyday life are two separate things. We can then have what can feel like an existence void of any truth and love and begin to try and understand God through our mind and not the living truth of our body
That is a great point Joshua, we see that play out in religion where those who are to represent God, like priests, monks, and nuns are to remove themselves from everyday life and normal relationships. Meanwhile God is available everywhere to everyone all the time, and in particular through each person’s inner heart. God is not some lofty being separate to daily life but very much a part of every single moment.
Life is absolutely amazing as every encounter we have with life and with people is an opportunity to deepen the awareness we have with ourselves and there is always this relationship happening no matter what with evolution that how could life ever be mediocre when we have the potential to go deeper constantly? Ah, the relationship back with the divine, this is so sweet that nothing can ever truly get in the way.
And that is a beautiful way to relate to life, that another can bring an awareness of ourselves and vice versa. There is no joy or fun in life when I am me and you are you and we are two completely separate, unrelatable beings. When the fact is we are all the same, trying to own an issue that makes me different or stand out doesn’t compare to enjoying being with another.
“A subtle separation between my life, the everyday livingness, and the divine. Not one, but two. Not God immanent, but a breath and more away” – this is like a thunderbolt. So very recognizable. So subtle, yet a separation is a separation. How much deceit have I allowed in that little adjective. An unwavering relationship to the Truth of who we truly are – is simply a possibility available to us all, by choice.
Gorgeous Alan, those moments are golden and transformative, thank you for sharing one of them.
Moments of realizations are life changing. Always. They allow us to get closer to our divine essence and the truth of it.
It is really beautiful when someone is just expressing as themselves totally being who they are without any form of measure, or self consciousness, what they communicate is love, and as a reflection we also have the opportunity to express with love and truth.
I understand what you are saying Alan, and the importance of being all of you as you describe beautifully “Nothing in the way, nothing modified, no self-consideration.” This is not thinking its just being..
To see and feel truth confirms that it is within us equally, the power of true reflection.
Love it Alan, and how potent it can actually be to be so open to the reflection another offers… I trust that that breath was claimed as your own – God immanent, and that ‘transcendent’ stuff left for the cleaners 😉
I have come to understand when we get out of the way and allow ourselves to connect to our divineness within, life is simple and flowing. Our body communicates with us in every movement, it’s just so beautiful.
I can relate to this of living life with different categories or boxes, kind of like segmenting your life. Knowing the divine and having moments of connection to that but then just getting on with life and living the day to day and leaving the divine behind.
Allowing ourselves to be inspired by another and then approaching them directly for additional support to grow us even more is something we all should be doing alot more of.
It’s inspiring how chance encounters (but there are no accidents) can bring us a sudden deeper understanding of ourselves and life. Love this ‘to the point’ blog Alan. I also now know what the word ‘immanent’ means and your words have led me to consider how I separate life, the everyday livingness, and the divine.
When truth is presented simply and with no agenda it can be felt and wakes us from our slumber, what we do with it then is our choice. I love the way you embraced this Alan and wanted to know more and brought an acknowledgement to how we can falsely separate our lives from the divinity that is all around us, a sharing of a real communication that supports us all.
A short and to the point blog Alan, thank you!
There comes a point in time when divinity is not something aspirational, or extrinsic, but something that is deeply felt within. From that moment of realization, life becomes about the ever reawakening of our true connection to God, and there comes a point in time when that becomes very real and tangible to the point where you live in such a way as to honour that in full.
Yes, I am starting to feel that the movements change because there is more ease in the body, less searching and more knowing that you are exactly where you should be and that you are never alone.
Truth when claimed supports us all to recognise the same within us.
‘…something occurred that I am compelled to put in writing, in a sense a contract with myself. Care to witness?’ – Alan, these few words have also triggered something deep within me and how we can fool ourselves by holding on to beliefs and ideals in the form of attachment to family that remain subtly unchecked in life. Thank you for following your impulse to share.
Thank you- a point to reflect on of how we can separate and segment life.
Being all that we are should be simple but we complicate it with our hurts. Your blog reminds me that we sell ourselves and everyone else short when we do this and it’s not worth it.
Oh yes; “How great it is when someone is just fully who they really are. Nothing in the way, nothing modified, no self-consideration.” And the realization that all that prevents me from this state of being is what I put into the way .. and still do. Good to get some lived examples who show us that it is possible to live simple truth in full self-worth. So we can’t deny it. And good to appreciate this kind of people and not blame them for making better (healing) choices than I do (and so bring some challenges to me). The tension I feel here is because I did complicate my connection to myself. It is my responsibility.
If I am truth-full, the only occasions in my one life that it REALLY shifted was in the context of Universal Medicine activities (including the experimenting with its teachings). A conversation, a group work sessions, or even a revelation can change your life for ever.
The ways in which we can compartmentalise our life can seem so familiar that we don’t notice them but having that reflection from another of more consistent connection or perhaps we could say greater coherence with divinity in their life is very supportive.
The power of reflection. We are all capable of great change not through what we do but through what we reflect.
Truth is a powerful reflection reminding us of our oneness, a light bulb moment of confirmation
If I am understanding this correctly it is when you don’t see yourself as one with the divine then truth is your lived way, it is your most natural. It is when you step away, one step two steps… then you develop a relationship with truth rather than being one with truth.
Thank you Alan, I love the word ‘her ‘rock” as there is a solidness in being in the truth of who we are, unwavering being there.
It is deeply inspiring when we meet someone who knows exactly who they are, fully claims this and chooses to live in truth and aligned to love, hence when they communicate to others this shines through, inspiring people who are ready to appreciate what they truly reflect. Very powerful.
When we express our truth we inspire and support others around us to also claim their truth, the ripple effect of this is truly powerful.
When truth speaks it is heard.. and a breath away from re-connecting too. Love the simplicity Alan.
Me too Victoria. This blogs shows how truth ripples out and beyond to us all, we didn’t have to be at the course to feel the power of someone expressing absolute truth. It reaches everyone and those who are ready to embrace it, and live it, will in turn reflect the power of expressing truth to more and more people.
One Life. If we live by this, nothing being more or nothing being less, the potential is limitless for the level of Soulful quality that can be expressed to all aspects of life.
Thank you Alan, so beautiful to have the reflection of confirming and claiming from another who is living the truth of who they truly and by that reflecting back to you the divinity of your being.
To innately feel the divine and not place it outside of ourselves is something we need to live and express every moment of our day as there is so much expression in this world that otherwise takes us into separation.
I like nothing better then seeing a weed we have allowed to grow in the crack unnoticed. The path is so much clearer when we put it out and feel the difference.
The power of allowing the Divine to flow through us and express the absolute truth, and the the humility it takes to truly receive this is magic. When we live in this way we cannot help but expand our awareness and bring more love to the world.
It is very inspiring meeting someone living and expressing in their fullness. One day I will fully meet myself in this way.
I love the healing that’s on offer by another standing in their fullness. There is something about staring truth in the face that calls us back to God, and the deep knowingness of love that we have lived before.
We are so used to hearing, especially growing up at school, that you are ‘up yourself’ if you claim something wonderful about yourself… it’s more accepted if you say, I’m awful at this or that, or I’m ugly etc. But this does nothing to inspire another, expressing in this way. It is absolutely beautiful to hear someone express themselves in full and show who they are!
True Aimee, and when we do express from that fullness of who we are it confirms another in the truth of who we all are. Our reflections are powerful.
Ha! Is this not the trick of all of us and specially from all so called ‘religions’, to make a separation between life, the everyday livingness, and the divine?! We are already divine by nature, it is our origin. To express it again is the key. This will not be reached ‘at the end’ – but has to be lived and expanded in its expression in every moment of life. What a great reminder others are for us, about who we truly are.
An unwavering commitment to that Truth of who you are – what could be a better way to live?
A beautifully simple example of the fact we cannot separate our life, our livingness and the divine, for if we do what we communicate will not be of truth.
Recognising our own divinity is as natural as breathing and yet how many of us do this? The reflection offered by this woman can be felt in every word you express here Alan. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Being real, being true to who we are, being love – simple. As Natalie Benhayon said in a recent presentation, I paraphrase – cleaning our teeth is as important as presenting on stage. One life…..
Thank you sueq2012 – I can see I absolutely have not embodied this truth. I will prepare for a presentation by being careful with my food etc yet I have never given the same amount of care and attention to cleaning my teeth. Feeling the responsibility we have in each moment is both confronting and awe inspiring for me.
Thank you Alan for a simply powerful sharing, that we are only a breath away.
We cannot live our lives making some parts more important than another for in truth that is the beginning of disharmony and complexity in our bodies, getting to know our own quality and learning to walk with it everywhere we go allows us to live with consistency regardless of where we are or what is going around us.
I care to witness 🙂 And I fully agree: “How great it is when someone is just fully who they really are. Nothing in the way, nothing modified, no self-consideration.” It is an incredibly beautiful thing when someone is simply who they are.
When we allow ourselves to simply be the truth of us, others are inspired to express the same truth with them… one and the same.
It’s as though another is given permission to do the same. I feel that way when I think back to my first encounters with Natalie Benhayon. I remember looking at her and how she was in her body and how she moved as a woman. She shows all women it’s safe to be a woman and even though I didn’t ever need anyone’s permission, she gave me permission to do the same.
It is deeply empowering to be inspired by another reflecting and communicating the absolute truth of who we are…. and to then claim and live that for ourselves.
Our life, our livingness and the divine we are from, all within the same breath, if we so choose. Beautiful.
Oh yes….I feel that too. Mine actually isn’t that small – there is a distinct gap between how I feel about myself in relation to the Divine. It’s like I have to prove that I am – work for it – whereas in truth it is what I am made from in my very essence and cannot be bestowed on me by myself anyone else. I am Divine before I am.
When in the presence of absolute truth everything that is not that can be exposed and when we are willing a moment of revelation can arise for us to change our lives forever.
Thank you Alan for pointing out the obvious, but at the same time it is something I know I have often missed. We cannot live our lives in the mistaken belief that there are separate parts when we are all the whole.
Beautiful Alan, fully claiming oneself and expressing from there is indeed divine;
“How great it is when someone is just fully who they really are. Nothing in the way, nothing modified, no self-consideration”, very powerful.
Good to laugh at the thought immanence is somewhere far away.. Simultaneously hilarious and desperate that human life is made on this belief – that we are not made of Divine substance when that is all there is to be made of….
When someone claims who they are it’s a beautiful reflection and an opportunity for us to claim who we are. I know I feel an amazing fire inside of me when someone is claiming themselves at it allows me to confirm and claim who I am.
When someone knows who they are unreservedly, no holding back and no wavering, just being themselves in truth, it can be initially a little un-nerving, as it is not everyday that you meet people like this, but after a while if we don’t let comparison get in the way it is an incredible reflection for us to behold and enjoy. We are all divine, it is a choice whether we realise this or not.
Alan, these reflections are so powerful and can gently remind us about where we could be. God is in our livingness -so beautiful and healing.
Beautiful Alan, breathing ones own breath as a realised Son of God.
Magnificence. What can be more fulfilling than this.
I love that, thank you Marcia.
Thank you for sharing this, Alan. “What ensued was a direct pointing back to me, which at that moment felt divine” – I had a similar moment recently when I met someone who was just so solid and steady in their love. Their eyes reflected back to me that I was the same, and allowed me to lovingly look at how I was not living that in the way they do.
Awesome moment Fumiyo.
Absolutely Melinda – for if we are not prepared to step up and show all of who we are we are further cementing the contract we have.
I love your comment Rachel. It is deeply empowering to dismantle the false wall with the support of others especially in group work. I know I would not have been able to do it by myself feeling isolated or alone. I appreciate the incredible way the Sacred Esoteric Healing courses are run and I appreciate that healing also begins with connecting with people allowing trust and openess to be present.
That may not be true Chan, in the sense that you could have done it alone, but how much more slow the process would have been. Universal Medicine restores trust in the fact that there are decent people – rocks in a world that seems to be as shimmering and insubstantial as dust, blown this way and that. It is trust that makes us more willing to drop the fortress, and faster too. There is nothing like watching the joy of another person’s liberation to inspire our own.
Brilliant Mary, they certainly do. I have experienced many of these courses and from healing my hurts I was able to truly feel immense love from within.
Yes I agree Lindellparlour, God is all around us and within us. We constantly receive these incredible reflections around us if we choose to be aware of them these reflections are everywhere.
A blessing to receive a reflection of truth Alan. When someone we meet is fully expressing every part of their gorgeous being this allows us to feel trust and inspires us to then also express our true self.
Beautiful Marcia, it feels incredible to simply be ourselves and to fully express truth.
Alan what you express here to me is the simplicity of returning to the stillness of God. How much we complicate this and have made union to be about more than simply living this way?
“Not God immanent, but a breath and more away.” Yes Alan, I agree, it can be as simple as the choice of one single breath and then continuing that breath to bring God into immanence as our free choice!
Absolutely Adam as Alan states ‘love is simple,’ and ‘his way our only way in truth’, is plainly simple as well!
Thank you Alan, when someone is in the claiming of their truth, we can feel the power of the simplicity of them being who they truly are, very inspiring to behold.
When someone holds their truth, and the truth being that we are all equal, you can’t help but take notice. It well and truly is a gift, for we learn, see and feel how much, even if it was just a short or small expression on a temporal basis. We get to see where we are in relation to that truth, a marker of where we are with the everything.
I agree with you Alan, when someone claims who they truly are we are all lifted and inspired to do the same for ourselves….If we so choose.
Yes Suse and Alan, I agree. When we interact with someone who is calmly claiming exactly who they are we experience such a loving reflection of joy and we naturally feel the pull to do the same ourselves. It isn’t a straightforward path unfortunately but acknowledging what we have felt and observed is a good start.
When one chooses to claim themselves they can also experience resistance. Never let the doubts, naysayers and negative energies sway your resolve. Hold fast. You and humanity are worth it.
Powerfully expressed Irena.
A beautiful and power-full reminder Alan – thank you.
Yes awesome, so simple and so powerful. How close do we dare to get with ourselves?
I love how you write Alan. I feel all that you are expressing in an instant but also find myself stopping and rereading, stopping and gazing at a paragraph, phrase and/or word as it invites me to surrender to what lies deep within each word and letter written on the page – so much space, wisdom and so heartfelt, simple and sweet.
Thank you Alan and Susanne, I agree, life can be so simple for some and yet for others the mind would boggle, so why do we have the conundrum. It is all about our choice to connect to either fire or prana, soul or spirit, light or false light, truth or lies, connection or separation, space or contraction. When we are connected to who we are life is simple.
Thanks for letting us witness your contract with yourself – ‘Not two, but one’.
A re read Alan and a reminder of the truth of who we are and more.
“a subtle separation between my life, the everyday livingness, and the divine” – huge Alan. Recently I committed to live my life from truth and not hold back any more. This now supports my livingness, which in turn then supports speaking my truth which supports all else in my life. But it is the commitment and foundation to my connection with the divine which now supports everything in my life – each interacts and supports the other – no more separation between the three. It is awesome and there is no compromise or holding back to making everything in my life to bring it back to bringing through the divine plan.
“I had been making a subtle separation between my life, the everyday livingness, and the divine” Again Alan you gave me much to ponder on with the strenght in the few words you need to describe why your contract is needed.
Thank you Alan, I have felt bound by my own similar contract. And so well said Rachel, the blood on that contract is old and dry, the wound has healed, though we remain a little scarred as a reminder of the experience. Time to burn it, set it on fire with the full livingness of who we truly are, God’s love on earth. Not even the scar can remain under this radiant light.
Thank you Alan for exposing the separation that I still allow in my life when I do not embrace my divinity. ‘Hah to that falsehood!’ and allowing it to squat in my life when embodying the absolute Truth of who I am is always freely available and within my choice. Why delay?
This has become a human problem, the lofty, intellectual concept of dualism (two separate and distinct states) that we all make real. Yes, we all signed a contract at some point that said “that God stuff, the divinity of me, is way over there somewhere…I am just a human being, and unworthy to know myself as his son and the deliverer of truth”. We signed it in our own blood. But, like any contract it can be torn up, walked away form. So I thank God for those who have done so and inspired me to do the same.
Thank you Alan – workshops have always been an opportunity to be inspired by others.
Your example here is true to the depths that other people can take us too – and that by simply being a reflection, we can develop a better understanding of ourselves and, in some cases, of what is holding us back.
Expression is everything.
What a ginormous revelation, it makes so much sense, of course we cannot feel steady when we are not connected to God and everyone on this planet, we’re not designed to be separate from it. I need to read this a few more times for it to really sink in!
“How great it is when someone is just fully who they really are. Nothing in the way, nothing modified, no self-consideration”, what a great reflection Alan, I could feel the strength in these words it felt simple and truly powerful.
I feel I divide my life it to periods when I am all of me in my connection to God and express that, other times I hold that back as I don’t feel safe how another might react.
Yes to simplicity. A very shocking truth, because it exposes that I also have made the distinction, that is not true.
Thank you Alan. It took me a few reads of your blog to get it, but it really is simple, we cant separate we are all one.
It’s like different faces for different situations when we need to be true in all of them, no holding back. It’s a very uncomfortable way of living and holds a lot of anxiety. Why do we feel that we are not enough? We are divine.
Alan, Hah indeed. So simple we are divine, from God so why do we separate it, I know reading this, I feel how I have a functional part of my life and the other divine precious part, and it’s not true at all. So to be divine everywhere.
It is so gorgeous that from someone fully claiming who they are, you were reflected what subtlety was keeping you from doing the same.
The reflection from others in their true expression is so strong, Alan and is the reason that group work is so powerful and revealing for us. I am learning to truly appreciate this and to not go into comparison -appreciating my own completeness and the love that I am.
No matter how many times I attend the Universal Medicine Sacred Healing Workshops I always connect to a deeper understanding of myself and I’m inspired by others. Thank-you Alan for this simple inspiring blog.
This is huge Alan, its great to have so much pure inspiration all around us to in able us to break out of old ways and be like the ones that do inspire.
How powerful it is when someone presents to you the truth as lived fully in their body and their being; this reflection is the greatest inspiration of all, greater than the words spoken is the quality of that truth lived.
The moment was right, the timing was perfect, you were ready to be presented with what was true for you and those exposed to your blog – God at work – magical 🙂
Thanks Alan for exposing the falsehood we live in when we only live with God on a part-time basis.
Thank you, Nicola. This is beautiful. Exactly. What are we waiting for? Why keep the Divinity at an arm’s length? Let’s just be.
Awesome Alan, so simple and so true.
Short and sweet with a great dose of love!
Alan I could feel your separation and your choice to say no to this falsehood and that inspires me . . . Thank you
I too have had amazing revelations during Universal Medicine courses, I like to call them lightbulb moments because they literally feel just like a lightbulb has gone on and lit the way.
Alan, this is a clanger, I read your sentence ‘ I had been making a subtle separation between my life, the everyday livingness, and the divine.’ and well I know this, I live often seeing myself as separate from God, the divine – and yet I’m not, I know I’m not, but it’s about living it always. What I feel reading about your conversation is you met someone who absolutely lived the simple truth of that, and I’ve met those people too – actually I often want to be those people while also feeling uncomfortable around them. The truth is I am this too, but I need to deeply nurture and allow this in me. Thank you. As Luke put it above sometimes it does take a bell.
Sometimes it takes a school bell to get us back into the classroom…
I love your comment Luke, reminding me to reurn to the classroom of life.
Thank you Allan. I am noticing how I can be steps away from a deeper honesty in my communications and the way I express and this is a lovely inspiration that you are passing on. A reminder to be constant in my observation and tender with myself as `i make the changes.
A beautiful and profound reflection of how powerful we are when we simply live our divine truth. Thank you Alan.
Yes we certainly are Carola. The key is to let go of the fear of living in our true power and bless humanity with the beauty of who we truly are.
Indeed, “Hah to that falsehood!”
Such a simple expression here Alan but with a very powerful message.
I love the way you expose the falsehood, thank you.
I also loved this sentence in your blog;
“How great it is when someone is just fully who they really are. Nothing in the way, nothing modified, no self-consideration”
Thanks Alan , its crazy how we create that duality , rather than claim and embrace God in us all the time.
Wow Alan, there is so much in this small blog; I had to read it many times. For me I can also feel that I have been living with god on a part-time basis, and that is a false way to live.
Agreed Bernie so much in so few words and what clear understanding to a false way of living Alan brings.
Yes, I did too Bernard, it took a while for me to digest it. There is much in this for me to ponder.
I agree Bernard there is so much to ponder in this short blog that requires time to really feel the power and truth of what was expressed. We ultimately choose to separate from the truth of who we are, but it is we who can return to our truth with the simple choice to live who we truly are in the world, never holding back.
I agree Bernard much exposed and simply delivered! Nice one Alan.
Absolutely Bernard I agree, it is every-one responsibility to live the love we all are naturally.
Simple and profound Alan, Thank you.
Thank you for sharing Alan.
The truth of who I am – I’m claiming it baby!
Yes, so many Ahh Ha moments in my life since coming to the work of Universal Medicine and presentations by Serge Benhayon – I am living so much more of who I am, profoundly simple when I allow it so.
Thank you Alan for your blog – it is absolutely amazing. And Serge is my best role model for being the same; doesn’t matter where or when – work, home, on stage – it’s all the same and equally loving Serge Benhayon; the truest role model around for men and women alike.
This is great Nicola, I know that feeling of waiting until I am semi-perfect, it is lovely to be reminded that we are that now, ‘I realised that I could live the future now. I don’t have to wait until I am semi-perfect before expressing the divine, I am that and can express it right now.’ Thank you.
Thank you Alan and Leigh, it’s so simple, as us being honest without any pretext. Then a divine truth shall be easier to claim. Each day provides a new opportunity to feel who we really are, then live that truth to the best of our ability.
Thank you Nicola for sharing this revelation, this is very supportive.
Thank you Leigh, I so know what you are saying here. I have been observing of late just how much I do actually feel, my tell though has been to step into my mind to numb what I felt. My learning is to remain with my body and feel what is there, whatever it is in full. Having no attachment to what I experience, simply letting everything be as it is. And letting me be as I am. Appreciating, in full, the absolute gift of truth that I am offering myself by doing this.
Dear Nicola, I am divine and can express it now. I too feel the value in living my future now. This understanding has brought me great love, as when I feel myself in my future I feel so still and unwaveringly solid. An amazing support.
beautifully said Leigh; choosing to live our future now makes a lot of sense, when we’re able to go of viewing time as lineal. We have our past, present and future with us at all times. Which one do we want to live? I choose my future as well.
Dear Alan, it is truly the most stilling thing, when we can see our behavior clearly and no longer judge ourselves for it, but to fully accept it for what it is and know clearly that from this moment forth, we choose a much more loving way to be, knowing that what we had chosen is not us, simply something we did. So therefore we can choose to be different.
Awesome Nicola and Alan this is a great reminder for me there is no need to wait God/divinity is always here the moment we choose it.
As you say Alan, ‘love always is, oh so simple’, and there is nothing more simple than just being who we truly are.
The beauty of reflection Alan; the wisdom received and lived in its embracing.
Awesome Alan! Go get ’em!
Simple divine Alan!
I agree Tim, being around people like this is definitely inspirational and joyful and for sure great reflections.
A relationship with truth, I like the sound of that. As I develop this relationship with truth I can feel how I become as solid as truth is – unwavering and yet oh so loving.
Sally, the wisdom and depth in you comment is just lovely…thank you.
Just splendid Alan, your expression is splendid.
I love the simplicity, accessability and truth of this Laura. Thank you.
Thanks Alan, so simple yet so profound as is the esoteric.
A big fat lie, blasted away in a moment. There is nothing more beautiful than a person who knows who they are to the core of their being. They are a rock that inspires us to find the like within ourselves.
I like, join you Alan: Hah to falsehood.
I love this part – “How great it is when someone is just fully who they really are. Nothing in the way, nothing modified, no self-consideration.” and Yes Serge Benhayon lives this!
Alan, this just popped out at me ‘unwavering relationship to the Truth of who she is.’ – what a way to live.
These words – unwavering relationship to the Truth (of who I am) are the way I too live and there is nothing that is more beautiful or rewarding on earth than this.
This is gorgeous Alan. A beautiful sharing and an equally beautiful openness to see and feel what that sharing meant for you.
I can so feel this separation too. Hah to the falsehood indeed. And power and glory in the truth of our expression.
Thanks for a great read Alan. It’s wonderful when those ‘the penny has dropped” moments occur. We must appreciate ourselves for the divine beings we already are, and start living and communicating that in our everyday livingness.
Great blog Alan, loved reading this – we already are everything, love and truth from the inside out is the only way to go 🙂
What a great revelation and so simple and easy to understand. Hah to the falsehood!!!
Yes, making it all one – even going to the loo – is so much more fun.
When someone holds an unwavering relationship with Truth, what comes out of his/her mouths is very powerful. Totally true!
Hi Alan, this “unwavering relationship to the truth” of who I am is a work in progress, this blog has presented another way for me to look at this and work on a consistent relationship with me based on truth, not on what has come in from the outer world. Thankyou for sharing Alan. It’s another encouragement to choose to feel me and who I am, for myself.
It was so freeing and uplifting, when I realised I was not alone in living my life, but that I had all the love necessary to support me on my journey, simply by connecting to the true me first, and then to all others.
I agree Alan with your observations and what comes to me is the struggle and effort we put into trying to carve out a life on our own, believing that we have to make it in the world without God or even each other. That we do not accept that we are divine first and that establishing and nurturing that connection with our divinity and other human beings is the ‘rock’ and everything we do or create or communicate in life can come from this beautiful simplicity.
