God & Religion. A Way of Life (Part 2)

by Rod Harvey, Marketing Manager, Gold Coast, Australia

For about 40 years, I shunned the ‘God’ word – it brought up all sorts of reactions. I saw God through the eyes of the religions I had read about and rejected. I felt embarrassed to be associated with God.

Then I had ‘a change of heart’.

The catalyst was Serge Benhayon from Universal Medicine. Over the last six years I‘ve enjoyed attending Serge’s presentations and found them to be informative and enlightening. Serge presents possibilities: something to take away and ponder on.

I realised that the great religious leaders brought many truths to the world; however those truths were changed and reinterpreted by insecure, possessive and angry men who moulded religion to suit their own purposes.

I recognised how I had metaphorically placed ‘God’ and ‘Religion’ into the same basket, so if one didn’t work for me, then by default the other did not either.

Gradually I considered the possibility that ‘God is Love’ – a theme that appears to be consistent throughout various religious groups and accepted by millions of people around the world. By substituting the word ‘Love’ for ‘God’, I started to open up and break through my barriers.

The concept that ‘God is Love’ was revelatory for my pre-conditioned brain. And that’s where I had been stuck – inside my brain! God is something to ‘feel’ rather than ‘think’ about or ‘study’.

But accessing feelings wasn’t so easy. Because I had shut myself down from feeling deeply, I needed to make changes if I wanted to open up. This meant looking at my choices and taking more care of myself, altering what I ate, drank and improving my sleep. It meant being gentler, more present with what I was doing and making changes to the way I related and expressed to others. It involved unravelling and discarding old beliefs and patterns I had held on to. It meant taking time out to be still, rather than get caught up in distractions that pulled me away from myself.

As I gradually opened up, I found those moments of stillness. Through stillness I connected to my inner heart and a glorious love within… my essence. Within that space I felt divine love and understood that God is always present within me. I realised it was me who had built up the fortress to try to shut God out.

But God is not here to provide for me, blame or fix things up. I still have to take responsibility for the choices I make and I regularly go ‘off track’.  Yet if I embody love, all will work out.

I also realised that this connection to love is something we all have within us at all times, even if we have shut it down. It can bind us together in unity.

Religion is not about rituals, clothing, adornments, rules or fear. After all how can there be fear with love?

I now see religion as my personal union and relationship with God, along with being open and loving with others. Simple, personal, all encompassing and loving: that’s my religion. It’s a way of living.

Universal Medicine helped me to open up my heart – the rest was my choice.

Wow, what a turnaround!

Part 1: God & Religion. Why Bother? (Part 1)

90 thoughts on “God & Religion. A Way of Life (Part 2)

  1. “Through stillness I connected to my inner heart and a glorious love within… my essence.” – Everything about modern day life seems to distract and lure us away from feeling that stillness that lies within us, waiting to be felt (I know I sure have avoided it) via all of what we are sold is important in life (having fun, exhibiting drive in our work at the expense of our body, being competitive in sports and in school, video games, coffee, energy drinks, etc.). Isn’t it time to ponder on why that may be the case in the first place? Could it be that we are being distracted away from the most important thing of all that will bring us connection with our souls, God, and true purpose in life?

  2. When Universal Medicine presented The Way of The Livingness as a religion I was anxious, having deliberately chosen to leave the Roman Catholic church when I was 18 and having lived most of my adult life as an agnostic. Over the years, I have come to accept God as a fact of life, not so much as a belief, but because it makes sense. I still can’t feel God within but I know that will come as I allow myself to be more still.

  3. It makes sense how so many of us have had difficulty relating to God as a concept according to pictures presented by organized religions and as a result rejected Him. He is a multi-dimensional being and a relationship with Him encompasses the physicality and beyond, it is a lived experience.

  4. We are taught about God from a book, and we create images in our heads of what God looks like. We imagine God to be forgiving or angry, and we know that He loves little children. But we are not taught to FEEL God, to connect deep within and feel the presence of God that is in all of us equally.

  5. “God is something to ‘feel’ rather than ‘think’ about or ‘study’.” I loved this line Rod, most of my religious life has been thinking about God, and studying to find God, but with no avail, I had not learnt to feel God, and did not know that God lived within me and that by my gentle breath I could simply connect to him. As my connection deepens so does my sense and love for myself as a divine being grow.

  6. I’ve always known there has to be a God of some sorts, but what life presented by way of picturing God didn’t quite work for me. I refused to believe that there was no God at all. Universal Medicine presented God, as you mentioned by how God feels. This God I understand, as there’s far more understanding when I feel something, rather than mentally visualising it.

  7. As you say Rod, for all of us it “meant being gentler” to start with, and as we were so lost we had to start with what we could handle and that is the Gentle Breath Meditation.

  8. “Through stillness I connected to my inner heart and a glorious love within… my essence.” When we connect to the inner stillness of our essence we can feel the Divine love flow through every particle of the body.

  9. Having been bought up in the Catholic faith for many years it was obvious that this religion was designed to crush and reduce you – especially if you are a woman. And now experiencing The Way of The Livingness for many years I can truly say this is a true religion that reminds you and celebrates you as an equal Son of God. I am so blessed to be a part of this religion and for re-connecting back to the truth of God.

  10. I like this line about true religion and love “It can bind us together in unity.” It does naturally so. Is this the answer to our woes?

    1. This is what (in my experience) many religious groups claim to do (with prerequisites however) and yet its the very opposite. That’s because love doesn’t come with a prerequisite.

  11. Through out my life I have prayed to a God that was out there, separate from me, mainly because I was considered a sinner who had to ask forgiveness before God would consider me his child, understanding now that this is not true, it has taken time for me to learn to love myself and to feel worthy of God’s love, as I bring more tender loving care to my body I feel more of this love within me I am starting to feel a deeper sense of my connection to God.

  12. ‘God is Love’ and love is who we are. The more I began to develop a loving relationship with who I am, the more I have realised that my relationship with God is inseparable, as we are in fact the sparks of God no less. God is not separate from us, or an unreachable communion that can only be attained through our doing good deeds and death. We can never escape the fact that we are held within the ever-present body of God and that as the fiery sparks that we are we are, through the way we live we represent this vibration. As such a religious life is lived when we surrender to being who we are, through which our Godliness is our natural way of being.

  13. This two-part blog is epic, it really feels like you are writing on behalf of us all. I relate so much to what you have shared. Unfortunately, it’s still a bipolarish situation for me, back and forth about being settled with The God word and feeling ashamed and hoping it doesn’t come up, it all depends how I have been living and who I am sharing it with. It’s great for me to keep reading stuff like this, it keeps opening my heart up even wider.

  14. I too used to feel embarrassed when mentioning the word God as if I was claiming Santa Claus was real. Yet, I would conveniently allow him to appear in my landscape at some occasions to justify my judgment, or to explain away the unexplainable. He never was a full-time presence in my life for a very long time. Even though I always knew there was more to life than meets the eyes, I never allowed God to be that missing piece which actually holds and makes sense of everything, or maybe just did not want to use that word to give Him the full credit. There’s actually quite a bit of stuff there. This feels like the relationship I need to go deeper into honesty with.

  15. It is impossible not to feel God when connected to my inner heart yet I realise I have wanted to separate the two. I have wanted to blame God when the going got tough thinking that if there was a God he would save me yet at the same time knowing it was my responsibility to connect to my inner most and live from my essence. The ideals and beliefs that we think we have overcome can still arise as they are not healed in full, the deeper we go.

  16. I have had an issue with God, because I felt that he didn’t truly exist because if he did then humanity would not treat each other as they do. Through Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I found that God is actually in me to connect to whenever I connect to my inner self, what I was missing was the connection to my inner being.

  17. ‘God is something to ‘feel’ rather than ‘think’ about or ‘study’. What you share here Rod is something for me to definitely ponder on….

  18. This description of religion brings with it responsibility for how we are and relate with others. A way of being that brings people together. “I now see religion as my personal union and relationship with God, along with being open and loving with others. Simple, personal, all encompassing and loving: that’s my religion. It’s a way of living.”

  19. Learning that how I had always known God from within was in fact a reality that brought up much for me. As I then had to unravel (and continue to unravel) the way I lived which did not (does not) honour what I know.

  20. I used to have a pretty common picture of God as the man with the white beard and booming voice, sitting on high in judgement of us ridiculous human beings messing up all the time. As a consequence I wanted nothing to do with him. But I now know God personally, He talks to me all the time – not with a voice that shatters glass, but through symbols in nature, so-called coincidences and so many other ways. He is within me as he is within us all and the stronger and deeper my relationship with myself becomes, so too does my relationship with God. I know the latter through the former and I love that.

  21. The concept of praying and trusting my life in God only through faith has always felt disempowering to me, because when I take responsibility for my choices there is nothing and no one to blame, including God. When I choose Love, that which is God and also everyone equally, support is always around.

  22. Religion is something that is very confirming of who we are. There is a truth known to all deep within about God and our relationship with God and that we are made of the same stuff as God. Realising that I am here and God is where God is simply because of our choices is huge and very humbling.

  23. This is beautiful wisdom Rod and perfect for me to read this morning ‘Through stillness I connected to my inner heart and a glorious love within… my essence. Within that space I felt divine love and understood that God is always present within me.’

  24. To be able to connect to God, we need to prepare the body first by the way we move and make choices. Through a divinely aligned body we can connect to a deeper essence of us that comes from God and knows God inside out, through that we have access to all that God is.

  25. Thank you Rod for sharing the beautiful truth Universal Medicine has presented that we are love and in that love God lives within. “I now see religion as my personal union and relationship with God, along with being open and loving with others. Simple, personal, all encompassing and loving: that’s my religion. It’s a way of living.” mine too Rod.

  26. Reading this I felt how interesting it is that we want proof of God or to know God or even trust in God, yet most the time we are coming from a body that does not know itself, doesn’t trust itself and isn’t being cared for or held with love. It’s beautiful to read Rod how once you felt the possibility of God and his beholding light and love of everyone, you made steps to support yourself more, which then re-connected you to what you have always known, “…that God is always present within me.”

  27. Likewise I’ve not developed a relationship with God for many reasons – being confused, embarrassed, it not being cool, being distracted. What a waste, and as this relationship starts to develop now I realise how huge it is to have this amazing feeling and connection inside me, that is accessible all the time.

  28. Love is most definitely the prove of there being a god. The love we can feel inside is truly magical, it is the Divine nature that brings us to the honouring of the beauty in every day life.

  29. Ditto Rod – I started my relationship with God by looking at it through the eyes of those that have spent the last few millennia representing him, and given religious history and all the slaughter, mayhem and separation that has been meted out in his name was unsurprisingly confused. Its when I started to look for God inside, and in my everyday that I realised that here was a very different, truly inspiring relationship that has blossomed inside me. This makes a lot more sense.

  30. From recognising that God is Love and substituting the word God for Love you were able then to bring that Love into your life and in the way you were/are living and this brought you to stillness. ‘Through stillness I connected to my inner heart and a glorious love within… my essence.’ A great journey that is open to all of us however it takes dedication, which is really a continued opening to love, and with that you have turned your life around. Very inspiring Rod.

  31. I am truly appreciating a very different relationship with God now and like you Rod, am finding that God is in every part of my living. How I choose to live allows or blocks out my ability to feel the love of God which starts with a deep knowing and loving of myself in the world. Thank you Serge Benhayon for presenting the truth.

  32. Rod,
    On reading your sharing I can feel how I always knew God was love, and this is why I could never understand mainstream religion. Like you Universal Medicine has reminded me that religion is plainly and simply my connection with the love that lies within. The love of God which lives inside all of us, making the choice to connect with it and allow ourselves to be guided by it.

  33. The Way of The Livingness is the first religion that has sat comfortably with me and that I absolutely know and can feel is wholly true. It’s a way of life and a way of living in constant communion with something grander than physical everyday life.

  34. True Religion as in “The Way Of The Livingness” as presented by Serge Benhayon, is to me the most honest, and truthful, and Soulful Religion I know. I am so grateful for the truth that God is within each and every one of us and we are all his equal Sons!

  35. Thank you Rod, thank you for showing that God, religion, love, people, the world … become very simply and very enjoyable when we take the responsibility that is ours and take our life in our own hands and leave the blaming and complaining behind.

  36. “I now see religion as my personal union and relationship with God, along with being open and loving with others. Simple, personal, all encompassing and loving: that’s my religion. It’s a way of living.” Beautiful Rod – so simply expressed but you have it in a nutshell.

  37. There is incredibily stunning wisdom in realising that if you truly embrace and embody love, all will work out.

  38. I too returned to God with the support of Universal Medicine. When I totally shunned God in my early 20’s I was very shut down and alone. Workshops presented by Serge Benhayon and esoteric healing helped me to open up to myself and the world again. In this opening up it was clear that there was so much more to life than what we see. I began to feel the warmth, surrender and stillness that is available inside me, and in fact inside everyone and I began to feel we are all so connected, and not only with each other but also with God. I also began to feel equal with God, feeling him as another spark of warmth who holds us all, which is why we have to be equal, because we are all inside him. I would not have been able to feel any of this if I hadn’t of seen through the lies and bastardisations of the word religion and the word God and I thank Universal Medicine for supporting this process.

  39. Thank you Rod. I too had confined God and religion to the same basket which resulted in my feeling that something was missing. You express it beautifully in “I now see religion as my personal union and relationship with God, along with being open and loving with others. Simple, personal, all encompassing and loving: that’s my religion. It’s a way of living.”

  40. I can relate to all you share Rod as I also turned my back on God for many years – no wonder I felt miserable during this time as I was shutting myself away from love. Developing my relationship to God these past few years has been key to deepening the relationship to myself and all my relationships and has bought more simplicity and joy to each day.

  41. I love how you have made the word God accessible during this piece of writing. God can be a huge word to sallow especially if we have been indoctrinated by others of the meaning and disagree with it. God should be accessible and almost should be held as a causal life occurrence for all to discuss and chat about.

  42. Absolutely Suse and not only that, I used to believe that there were several gods, one from each religion – all fighting against eachother. How could you not think that as a child while you were taught contradicting theories?

  43. ‘Universal Medicine helped me to open up my heart – the rest was my choice.’ Awesome statement Rod! What a different place the world is when you take ownership of your own choices.

  44. I love the way you express this Leigh and the fact that when we connect to our inner heart and feel the divinity / God within, there is a flow, ease and effortlessness which comes with this.

  45. “I felt embarrassed to be associated with God.” Yes, it’s like turning your back on the best friend you will ever have (because you believed all the lies that were being told about them), who’s always been there – steady and consistent, accepting you no matter what you say or do – just waiting patiently without judgment for you to come to the realisation that all along who they are is and has always been pure love.

  46. Over the past few weeks I have been reconnecting to my relationship with God, letting go of preconceived notions about who he is and simply feeling just how loved I am. This is religion and it is something I cherish.

  47. Having no Issue concerning God, but big issues about religion and its presentation early in my life I am reconciled to The Way of The Livingness being a Religion. I can see you have had a wonderful turnaround from the presentations of The Way of The Livingness as Presented by Serge Benhayon, as you say God and Love being the same.

  48. A beautiful turnaround Rod and now you are inspiring others with your choices. That’s what I love about Serge Benhayon and everything he presents he truly lives – his strong integrity and deep love for humanity invites us to feel this is equally in us too.

  49. Rod I relate to ‘throwing the baby out with bath water’ when it comes to God & Religion. I saw the hypocrisy and plain nonsense that is part of many religions, and the slavish adherence to out dated teachings and concluded that God did not exist. Now that I understand the true meaning of the word I can claim that I am religious, and slowly I am allowing myself to know God again.

  50. Rod- you say so much to the world when you write “God is something to ‘feel’ rather than ‘think’ about or ‘study’.” It blows away any argument the Agnostic, atheist or skeptic could put forwards if this is the starting criteria. While we reduce who we know ourselves to be through the mind there will be all sorts of seemingly intelligent and rational ways to deny the love that is God. Rod you certainly shake off some of God’s misnomers here and this is a sure step towards being more free to feel God is Love.

  51. It is indeed a big revelation, to feel that god is love, and that this love is inside us.

  52. Beautifully said Bernard – God was naturally there, I just have to clear out the clutter that was in the way. We all are an equal part of God.

  53. Thank you for sharing your development towards finding and re-connecting to you knowing God. What you describe I have often observed in people, throwing out God in disgust because of the bad taste many religions leave once we look a bit deeper into what really goes on within those religions. I liken that to the saying ‘Throwing out the baby with the bathwater”. It makes so much sense when we realise that God had nothing to do with those religions; he did not make them. It’s humans, like you say, who made the religions to suit them, to control others. What Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have presented to us, and anybody who is ready to listen, makes so much sense and brings back responsibility to each of us to live God here and now. And we all can see how much that is needed in our world. We are our own saviours, as we can choose every day how we want to live; with truth, love, harmony, stillness and joy, we just need to re-connect to these fundamental qualities within us all equally.

  54. ‘I had metaphorically placed ‘God’ and ‘Religion’ into the same basket, so if one didn’t work for me, then by default the other did not either.’ Rod I did this too, mistaking religion to mean the many versions of God as presented by religious organisations or faiths. I have come to know that religion is a way of living that reconnects me to my innate wisdom.

  55. So true Leigh ‘The more I connect to being aware of God the more I feel at home in myself’ and the more my life flows because of this connection.

  56. Beautifully summed up Rod ‘I now see religion as my personal union and relationship with God, along with being open and loving with others. Simple, personal, all encompassing and loving: that’s my religion. It’s a way of living.’ A blueprint for living life in a way that is loving to ourselves and others.

  57. We are all a part of god and the trick is to allow ourselves to connect to our inner essence and thats when we will feel god

  58. Said from one who truly knows God. Thank-you Rachael.
    My how we’ve bastardised such innate knowing and understanding of God, through our intellectualisation and seeking to ‘own’ through personal identification and mental arrogance, that which cannot be owned.
    For we are of Him and we ever live in Him. To go to the mind is to reduce His love and live in the illusion that we are separate from it.

  59. When I finally: “….understood that God is always present within me. I realised it was me who had built up the fortress to try to shut God out”, was a huge paradigm shift for me, but it still took time to become a natural part of my life. Going from not even wanting to say the word God to knowing that he is always with me, having regulars chats with him and acknowledging the magic he presents to me in every moment, has been such a complete turnaround in my life, and every day I appreciate that my life is so much richer in so many ways as a result of this deepening relationship. A big thank you Rod for these two wonderful blogs, and to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for presenting me with the wisdom that has allowed me to break down the “fortress” and to open my heart to God once again.

  60. This is truly beautiful Rod. Seeing God no longer through the eyes of religions and instead through your own essence and the living of the love you are, is just divine. A true pleasure to read.

  61. I was a busy, buzzy sort of person, I used also be lazy and but even then my mind would be buzzing with some sort of thought, issue or plan. Finding a stillness in my life has brought about huge practical changes, I feel content, joyful and steady “I found those moments of stillness. Through stillness I connected to my inner heart and a glorious love within… my essence.” It has also brought a connection with my ‘essence’, a connection with my natural divinity.

  62. The word ‘God’ has been a stumbling block for many, myself included and I shied away from using it. Now that I have re-connected to me and felt the love that I am, I know that God and Love are one of the same and ‘binds us in Unity’. Thank you Rod for sharing your life-giving ‘Turn around’.

  63. “This connection to love – God, is something we all have within us at all times…It can bind us together in unity” Absolutely.

  64. A beautiful sharing of the true relationship with God you now have Rod – “Simple, personal, all encompassing and loving: that’s my religion. It’s a way of living.” – A gorgeous reminder thank you.

  65. It just shows how truly empowering it is for the humanity to understand religion and God in their true meaning, and why the world cannot work in harmony as long as the misrepresentation/bastardisation and blind faith continues.

  66. Love it Rod, as I can see how more recently I have begun to unlock and unbind myself from seeing love, God and religion as seperate entities to myself. I too have begun to develop a true union with God as I choose more self-loving choices. I can also see these choices are radiating out to those around me and I have once again begun to see the beauty in all aspects of life. It feels that my rose coloured and seperative glasses have been removed and through this true Union or relationship I am developing with God I am again seeing the wonder, beauty and amazingness we all equally hold within. While I am not perfect in this, what I do appreciate is that I have begun to see that just by choosing to live this way I am able to offer inspiration to others, revealing that we all equally have so much to offer and bring to the world.

  67. Beautifully expressed Rod. I have struggled with the words ‘God’ and ‘Religion’ over the years and that was largely because I didn’t realise that “..God is something to ‘feel’ rather than ‘think’ about or ‘study’. The connection I establish with God is what true religion is about. Thanks Rod.

  68. I really get this “Gradually I considered the possibility that ‘God is Love’ – “, for me I had not realised that learning to care for myself and learning self love would open a door to a connection that I had missed, I can feel the divine, God, and I am building a relationship which is a foundation for how I experience life. I was open, and gradually felt this relationship to be true. It has happened through a ‘feeling’ a lived experience that I know for myself not from something that anyone else has told me.

  69. Tender Rod it was an absolute pleasure to read your blog – your honest and simple way to wrote about your experience with religion and god was touching me. You are living true religion for me and that deepened my own way of living religion and also the love I feel for god and the world within me – wunderbar.

  70. “I now see religion as my personal union and relationship with God, along with being open and loving with others. Simple, personal, all encompassing and loving: that’s my religion. It’s a way of living.” I love this sentence Rod, so simple in how you describe true religion, this has come to be my understanding too.

  71. Thank you Rod. Yes, God is love, true religion, Soul, the divine, and found in the way we are with ourselves by the way we live life – connected in love. When I am in union with the innate stillness inside me, I am in union with my divinity. I am with God.

  72. What a beautiful sequel Rod, thank you. And yes, a gorgeous and graceful turnaround. I have always had a strong sense of God. But the Love of God I felt so deeply, never make sense, was never confirmed or reflected to me in the religions I had been aware of, or by the people associated and the way they lived. I had become disheartened with what I felt was true. But when I first heard Serge Benhayon present the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, the truth of what I had felt, was reflected to me and resonated deeply within. That God IS Love and this Love IS within us all equally so and that this Love can be lived in all that we do, with all equally. And with this my journey to return to this truth, this glory of Love within me began and continues to deepen every day. The Way of the Livingness is my religion I now know, a religion that is inclusive of all. As we are all in essence of His Love.

  73. Beautifully expressed Rod. Disentangling the word God from the concept of established ‘religions’ has freed me to now forge a true relationship with the word ‘religous’, so I now can say that I am, and have always been, deeply religious.

  74. It is wonderful to have a true and healthy relationship with God and love. It asks us to be true and responsible for our choices and how we live.

  75. This is so beautiful. You have made a concept so huge (god… honestly – it doesn’t get bigger than that), so beautifully simple. A connection to god is accessible for all of us through our own bodies. What a most lovely revelation. Thank you Rod.

  76. Wow beautifully expressed Rod, your turnaround is a big one yet it sounds so beautiful and simple.
    p.s I love reading your blogs so do keep them coming.

  77. That’s beautiful… I’m starting to really feel where I can find God and where I can really feel him. That is in stillness, connection with myself. I find I can distract myself a lot from feeling still and feeling the loveliness of stillness. I get ‘busy’, find other things to ‘do’, and it’s been the perfect set up for me to keep God at bay as I may have a lack of trust there. I am so inspired by people who really embrace God and honour their knowing of him being real and being there as a forever support. I know I am going to work on my rhythm more to bring more quality and stillness to my life so I am not always distracted from feeling God’s beautiful presence, and my direct connection to him, through connecting with myself.

  78. Yes religion is simply connection, we are all religious but because the word has been manipulated and changed for the gain of a few in their thirst for power, we have lost the true meaning and beauty of religion. Now people like yourself are speaking up, truth is coming back into fashion.

  79. “The concept that ‘God is Love’ was revelatory for my pre-conditioned brain. And that’s where I had been stuck – inside my brain! God is something to ‘feel’ rather than ‘think’ about or ‘study’.” Thank you Rod, I am starting to feel rather than think.

  80. Great how you share that you were always thinking about god, and not feeling. This makes such a difference. Its a pitty that all those grumpy men have made the idea of god suit their agenda. But I can feel how great it is to know the true way of being with god, it is in us all.

  81. Top blog Rod. I can relate to thinking that God and religion were one and the same so it wasn’t until Serge Benhayon presented that religion, as it is today, really had nothing to do with God and that God was simply just love I opened up to the fact God does exist and he is with us all of the time.

  82. Thanks Rod. I’m with you on all that true religion offers, but I still can’t use the word God. My attachment to what it has represented for me is so ingrained, I feel a real block. Although, I align to the concept of life being about love, I know that to be true.

  83. Rod, I love how you write and what you write. It is always very interesting to read on other people’s journeys to God. Your experience is different compared to mine. Mine was not God is love but gosh, God is. Difficult as it was for me to admit it, I did. Then I happened to feel this fact in my body and simply surrendered to it.
    Reading your article, something else came to me: The Way of the Livingness is a religion that is different from others for various reasons. One of them has to do with how we feel God. We do not go to mass on Sunday, nor to the Temple on Fridays. To feel God, to feel it’s amazing presence, we go inside us. By deeply connecting we transcend our physical body and really have a universal feeling that is totally spacious, very beautiful, incredibly still and timeless. This feeling clearly allows each one to recognise the Godliness that surrounds us and reflect him back to us.
