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!
It is always beautiful when we get a moment of clarity and we recognise something clearly in another as it gives us a great reflection to realise that we too can have the same connection if we choose.
Our elder brothers and the love we naturally are is but a breath away. It is only we who keep it out through our ignor-ance of the fact, which allow us to dwell for a moment longer in the false reality we call everyday life.
It is the ‘unwavering relationship to the Truth of who’ we feel empowered us to authorize ourselves to be the one who calls it from the rooftop: That we all are equally the Sons of God.
Beautiful Alex. A power that resides within needs to be lived from the inside to the outer – our love is to share, especially in a world that lacks the deep love that we come from.
Even just a silky, nearly transparent veil would still be a separation from the at-one-ment with God.
Our every-breath can reconnect us to our most divine aspect or essence.
I love it when suddenly something becomes very clear, a duh moment, why in earth did we not see that before? Once we recognise this, it is never forgotten.
Loved what you shared Alan, something for me to ponder on, as for sixty years of my life God has always been outside of me, not so the true God and the oneness we all belong to. Am I living as one or am I still living as two, a great question to ask.
I agree, I have always seen it as two, yet why? and if that was how it was, can I build a livingness that offers me a different experience?
Alan, this is such a simple sharing that if we lived would transform our lives but we like to have pockets in our lives and places that we put greater or lesser importance on.
‘Not one, but two. Not God immanent, but a breath and more away.’ – a falsehood that is very convincing the way life is lived and perceived by our five senses. I get the sense that only when we get to know ourselves first in at-one-ment with the Divine that the 5 senses no longer have a hold over us and thus we are not identified by and reduced to the human frame.
A soul-full account of our Livingness.
Indeed all is one and should be lived as one. The spirit has to surrender then in full, otherwise this separation remains.
Oh wow. I love such communications. Thank you for sharing the power of your insight.
These exquisite pearls of wisdom are a like a match offering us the possibility of re-igniting the awareness we might have closed off from, but non-the-less all hold within.
we put so much in between the light which we carry in the body and the light of God. So much that we think we are that what is in between. But it is not. We are light and love, not the drama’s, misery and the issues we create ourselves..
We have all been making that subtle separation for a very long time. But now is a great time to start to heal it.
I love those aha moments when truth is presented to us and we embrace it in full, knowing we are being offered something far greater than just the words that are being said.
Ah the inspiration we can get from another by their sheer presence is beautiful and can be oh so stilling.
Beautifully claimed Alan.
In current life, we see everything as parts as a part of our life that is religion, a part that is our home life, a part that is our work life and so on. But what if we could bring them all together and live them all at the same time without boxing them into days, hours or minutes of our day.
I love the teaching for the current era, that everything is one life. Whatever part of our life we are in connection to the divine, we need to emulate this in all other parts of our life so all are equal. Otherwise our lowest point is actually where we are at.
Great wake-up call Alan. The divinity should be one every moment, then life follows, so clear. Integrating divinity in our lives, or running it next to our lives, is just better our human life. Thank you.
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.
Great observation Alan, and such inspiration. There is indeed no in between with the divine, the livingness and life. It is one, and should be lived as one. Otherwise we are trying to improve our life with the divine, a switching off and on.
‘Improving life’ will never work because we have gone down the wrong road. Heading back to where we came from and choosing not to see each other as competition and different may be a fresh approach we could work on in our own life.
” 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.
” I had been making a subtle separation between my life, the everyday livingness, and the divine.”… a simple revelation which brought a profound realisation about your living way. Alan, your blog has inspired me to take a look at where I compromise on living and expressing the love that I am and where I come from.
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.
I know that rock – it’s in me too. Perhaps I ought to say ‘it is me too’.
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.
A great wake up call to check my relation with God and my relation with people, as is it all the same? and on life?
