The Way of the Livingness is a deeply honouring religion that has no churches, no followers, no priests and no-one who is of more value or importance than another – because it knows and presents that every single person is the equal Son of God returning to their natural and Divine way of being. It emphasises the word returning because it knows we are all already Divine and pure by essence – just disconnected from it and now making our way back again. In this religion, there are no ‘born sinners’, no ‘chosen people’, just everyone the same and equal in a one brotherhood.
Not only is this religion amazing in its presentation of a one unified truth for humanity, it goes much, much deeper by providing a living example of how to re-develop the Divinity within ourselves and re-kindle our connection with God as an everyday practical human being – in going about work, spending time with family, raising children, having a career and so on and forth. The Way of the Livingness therefore teaches you to be a responsible, loving, supportive, and understanding human being – while simultaneously never losing sight of the practicals and rigours that we all must endure in everyday life. Equally, it never lets go of the sacredness and truth of the fact that we are Divine beings and Sons of God, living in physical bodies.
After 8 years of learning and developing with The Way of the Livingness, my life has changed profoundly. From being an emotional and spiritual wreck, having a large financial debt, living in an unhappy relationship and generally feeling very unworthy as a person, I have turned my life completely around and become a more responsible person with a much healthier financial situation, a wonderful career, a strong marriage that is held in true love, and a deep relationship with myself and God. All of this has amounted to a rich and blessed life, which I have myself and the Way of the Livingness to absolutely thank for that.
Perhaps, the best part about this religion can be summed up like this: that it leaves each and every person knowing that who they are, what they do with their lives and how they choose to be in terms of love, care and taking responsibility for themselves, is all entirely up to themselves. It is a triumph in self-responsibility and if embraced, allows a person to be completely empowered by their own choices – no Saviours to come and do that for them, no magic pills or secret membership, just free will and choices based on a true understanding of life.
This is a glorious religion because it presents a simple way of living that if applied naturally returns love, common sense and a deep connection to God back into our lives.
I agree with you Elizabeth, The Way of The Livingness is not about retreating from life, it is practical and encompasses all aspect of daily living.
Like Dean wrote it ‘teaches you to be a responsible, loving, supportive, and understanding human being – while simultaneously never losing sight of the practicals and rigours that we all must endure in everyday life.’
If every religion on earth had the same foundation as the Way of The Livingness where everyone is equal, as we are all (sons of) God we couldn’t have a war about religion. It simply wouldn’t exist, because it wouldn’t be an option as it is not about right/wrong or winners/losers.
“It is a triumph in self-responsibility and if embraced, allows a person to be completely empowered by their own choices” – I agree. We are being made aware of the fact that we are Sons of God and here to learn to move like one.
When I first heard that the way of living that I was so drawn to was in fact a ‘religion’ I was concerned, I’d spent 18 years of my life escaping the Roman Catholic religion that I was born into and here I was being introduced to another one. But this time I’m happy to stay. Here in The Way of The Livingness there is no dogma, only people living in a healthy way that is inspiring me to make healthy choices too. It encompasses all areas of my life and it encompasses everybody regardless of whether they are rich or poor, what country they live in, it is for all of us, all of humanity. No need for separation and segregation, no need for wars, no peace only Harmony, Love, Joy, Truth and Stillness.
Beautifully said Doug. We can no more ‘join’ a religion than we can ‘join’ our own breath. Religion is lived all the time, the quality of that religion shows in the quality of our lives, bodies and relationships.
A simple and clear description of true religion as applied to life.
I love how everyone is equal in this religion and that there is not a ‘you can join, you can’t join’ mentality and neither is there a ‘you are better than the other’ it is all equal.
Beautifully expressed Dean and very inspiring to read – how empowering true Religion -The Way of The Livingness, is in its lived expression.
“It is a triumph in self-responsibility and if embraced, allows a person to be completely empowered by their own choices – no Saviours to come and do that for them, no magic pills or secret membership, just free will and choices based on a true understanding of life”.
Dean you capture it beautifully, ‘a glorious religion because it presents a simple way of living that if applied naturally returns love, common sense and a deep connection to God back into our lives.’ Exactly and everyone can choose, knowing that their choices impact how they live and that no-one else does it for them … truly empowering and deeply responsible.
Being made aware, through the religion of The Way of The Livingness that one is “…just disconnected from it [our Divine way of being] and now making our way back again” is a revelation that opens the gates to Heaven.
When True Religion is found, it is so simple to see why we are all equal, but we all have so many built up ideals and beliefs around religion, truth, equality and brotherhood, that it can take a lot of letting go of old systemic ways, to return to the True Love we all are.
I love how you write Dean, such simplicity is divine.
This is such a beautiful sharing Dean. There is so much simplicity and truth oozing from every word and these words in particular describing The Way of The Livingness really resonated throughout my body. “a living example of how to re-develop the Divinity within ourselves and re-kindle our connection with God as an everyday practical human being”. I love that it is a living religion, that it is about building a connection with our innermost and with God, and that everything that we come to know as truth we can live in the most practical way.
Your opening paragraph says it all for me. We do not need anything to have a religion but the knowing we are equally divine on our path home.
So true Fiona, the opening paragraph encompasses clearly and succinctly the living quality of true religion, the religion of The Way of The Livingness.
The Way of The Livingness is the first and only religion to teach that each member and not “it” is the true saviour of our woes. We save ourselves. Now that is empowerment!
I grew up in a religion where there is separatism, men and women are seen differently.
The Way of The Livingness is simple and unifying, that we are all from the one, no one less no one more, we are all the same – LOVE
The Way of The Livingness “it never lets go of the sacredness and truth of the fact that we are Divine beings and Sons of God, living in physical bodies.” A call and responsibility to live the Divine being we already are.
A great article on how we can choose to support ourselves and how this then returns to us and supports everything around us, as the article is saying “It is a triumph in self-responsibility and if embraced, allows a person to be completely empowered by their own choices.” Who knew that the word responsibility held so much regard and opened up so much. The responsibility for how we are, the quality that we are in the world in every moment is the true value and support we can all bring to each other right this second.
Spot on Dean, The Way of The Livingness is a true religion that connects us to the grandness that we are all from without any strict rules or dogma.
‘Perhaps, the best part about this religion can be summed up like this: that it leaves each and every person knowing that who they are, what they do with their lives and how they choose to be in terms of love, care and taking responsibility for themselves, is all entirely up to themselves.’ The Way of The Livingness shows us who we are and gives us the great gift of self-responsibility.
The Way of The Livingness religion is simply amazing, it naturally inspires love, common sense and a deep connection with the multidimensionality of the universe.
Any imposition and instillation of fear or punishment is not religion. How could God ever be anything or express anything other than Love? Love can absolutely be firm and consistent but it sees everyone of us as the equal sons of God.
Thank you Dean for a beautiful sharing of the changes that The Way of The Livingness has made in your life, it is amazing the freedom that self responsibility gives us in the way we choose to live our lives, we can now live life from the deep connection to our inner heart, where we feel the love, equalness and connection with God,humanity and nature.
So beautifully said Dean, and every word true in my experience also. Never before in this life have I felt a more tangible way to live in connection to who I am, guided by a relationship with my will, God and the universe which continues to enrichen the everyday life I live, and all the relationships I share with others. The Way of The Livingness has inspired me to return me to live and breathe a life that feels absolutely natural, so much more Soulful and with a greater quality of truth and love, one that has my body and being singing with the joy of realising that we are the equal Sons of God, and our Divinity is our true way of being.
Religion to me is simply a relationship, so like all my relationships it is a work in progress, I am a forever student and I am blessed to know that Religion is not owned by anyone, it does not mean you must follow or bow down. I am blessed to know that God is not mightier than I or revengeful. God is the wind blowing through the trees, the stillness in the starry sky and my heart’s rhythm when it aligns to all that this on offer. I have Universal Medicine’s profound and simple teachings to thank for my now healthy relationship with the grander more unseen side of life.
Imagine a way of living that constantly confirms to you that you are love, that you are equal to all, and that you inherently know God. Sounds incredible, and it is… The Way of The Livingness.
I like the fact, or love the fact, that The Way of The Livingness is me expressing all I feel about God, Heaven and Beyond.
‘In this religion, there are no ‘born sinners’, no ‘chosen people’, just everyone the same and equal in a one brotherhood.’ Our essence is pure and untouched and when we live from our essence we live from God.
What? No dogma, no-one to deify and make more than our ‘miserable selves’?? But rather an embracing of universal truths known by all and thus, a deep and profound empowerment in life – fostered by our nurturance of our connection to the divine that lives within…
Your words speak the absoluteness of true religion Dean. More wisdom please, from the glorious truth of your experience, and via the deftness of your pen…
It is amazing that prior to hearing Serge Benhayon talk about livingness I had never contemplated or reflected on how my livingness and daily choices impact on the quality of my life in the level of detail that has been presented by Serge.
We are never alone in picking up the pieces of our lives – even when we think they are too shattered to be ever put back together again. Learning and trusting that we are never alone, that there is always the opportunity for change, that there is always the opportunity to heal and that there is always someone to help us if only we would ask is a fact we all need to realise, accept and maximise on the potential of.
‘There are no ‘born sinners” – ahhh, that is music to my heart, let alone my ears. Well said Dean. The simplicity of reconnecting to the innate love that we are and living this in responsibility every day offers a new (and equally ancient) way of being that turns lives around – as it has yours and mine equally.
Knowing God resides within, as it does in everyone else and reflecting that in everything we do is living religiously.
Absolutely beautiful Dean, The Way of The Livingness shows how we all have the choice, that we don’t need to be saved, that within us all is a divinity that never leaves us, and that we can choose to live in our everyday lives, in how we express, love and live, that everything is already there, we just need to choose it.
Beautifully explained Dean, there is no true religion without self-responsibility.
I love what you have shared here Dean, such a beautiful reminder of what we are gifted by way of The Way of The Livingness religion; thank you.
Dean, thank you for this clear and insightful blog. The Way of The Livingness is who we are naturally so `– in our relationship with God and a living religion in a true way.
I love this line Dean, very true…’It is a triumph in self-responsibility and if embraced, allows a person to be completely empowered by their own choices”…
“It is a triumph in self-responsibility…” I like that. A lot 🙂
The Way of The Livingness is such a simple way to re-connect to the love that I remember as a child. Thank you Dean, I can feel how much I have learnt through the presentations from the school of The Livingness.
Thank you Dean, it’s the absolute truth what you have shared here and it’s a joy to read. In your last paragraph you say that The Way of The Livingness returns love, common sense, and a connection to God back to our lives, this has been true for me too, as has the many benefits of self responsibility restored my life from woe to joy.
The Way of The Livingness is truly a glorious religion, resurrecting what ‘religion’ truly means. We have allowed for so long this word to be used to describe something that is not true and have polluted the word to an extent that many people don’t even like being associated with it, let alone consider themselves religious. Where I live, I have come across many individuals and organisations in the field of so-called personal growth and spirituality who officially claim on their website that they are not related to any ‘religion’ – as being ‘religious’ outside the mainstream institutionalized religions often implies that there’s something that is not quite kosher.
Working with sick people I often hear as a response to an illness, “why has God done this to me, I have been such a good person my whole life?” The Way of The Livingness brings a great and a deeper understanding of the occurrences in life and that there is always more to everything than meets the eye.
The Way of The Livingness has totally changed my relationship with religion, from something I desperately looked to to rescue me and then shunned in reaction, I now know that the true meaning of religion is to come home to our wisdom within and hold the unification of humanity as a sacred way to talk, think, move, speak, cook, eat, exercise, work… live our lives.
Reading this is a great confirmation that The Way of The Livingness is my religion too. And I love that there is no one telling me what to do, condemning me if I am wrong or coming to save me. God holds us all equally and gives us free will. He also has a deep understanding of life and the universal laws and lives by them and offers us the same opportunity.
For over 10 years I have watched hundreds of people turn their lives around beautifully because of ‘The Way of The Livingness’, and how deeply supportive, loving and truly powerful this true Religion is.
The Way of The Livingness teaches that God is immanent, that we are already divine and only need to reconnect to that fact, which is tremendously empowering, it ends up just being a question of taking responsibility for this or not. Whilst all other religions teach God as transcendent, something we need to aspire to, work for and earn, which fosters struggle and hardship, competition and comparison.
So true Judith, it is our divine essence, which is immanent and that has allowed me to feel the loving tender man I have developed into, which is all thanks to The Way of The Livingness.
The Way of The Livingness leaves one unencumbered by outside forces and nurtures the re-connection to our own true essence – this is truly life changing and beautiful. Thanks Dean.
Loved what you have shared Dean, I feel greatly blessed to have come to make The Way of The Livingness my way. This line stood out for me today; “It is a triumph in self-responsibility and if embraced, allows a person to be completely empowered by their own choices” thank you Dean.
So very well expressed Dean and sums up what a True Religion is – it knows we are all equally the love and will return to the love we are when we are ready without holding any judgement over us rather and simply being there no matter what, whilst at the same time imbuing us with the responsibility to make the choice to return to the love we are.
So true Dean, I love what you have shared and I feel the same as you. So much has changed in my life by connecting to the truth, which is taught in the presentations of The Livingness. This has not only been true for me and you but 1000s of students world wide.
Thank you for sharing Dean.
Dean, I love the simplicity of this sharing. The Way of The Livingness is so embedded into my daily living now, I cannot believe that I have been avoiding this for years. I am always challenged to go deeper, a deeper form of love for myself, for God and my fellow human beings.
I love this description of true religion Dean, “…a triumph in self-responsibility..” and how this contrasts to so much of what the word religion has symbolised in the past for me -of a crutch to lean on to avoid bringing integrity and responsibility to one’s own choices.
Dean I love the simplicity in which you share what The Way Of The Livingness is – an absolute equality and responsibility – free will to be who we are. I too have a very different life now to where I was before, and it is indeed amazing to reflect on this and how much more solid I am and my relationships are as a result.
Beautiful dean, you left no stones unturned in your expression of how how incredibly holding ‘The way of the livingness’ is for all of humanity. A true religion that holds all equal in love.
Absolutely Dean – The Way of The Livingness is a true religion which “is a glorious religion because it presents a simple way of living that if applied naturally returns love, common sense and a deep connection to God back into our lives.” And it is freely available for all.
I have seen many hundreds of men and women completely transform their lives, joyfully committing to the everyday parts of life and having meaningful loving relationships… all because of the Way of the Livingness and the choices they have made from a knowing that they are already everything and do not need fixing.
Thank you Dean for an amazing synopsis of what the religion the Way of The Livingness really is all about:
“that it leaves each and every person knowing that who they are, what they do with their lives and how they choose to be in terms of love, care and taking responsibility for themselves, is all entirely up to themselves. It is a triumph in self-responsibility and if embraced, allows a person to be completely empowered by their own choices – no Saviours to come and do that for them, no magic pills or secret membership, just free will and choices based on a true understanding of life.
This is a glorious religion because it presents a simple way of living that if applied naturally returns love, common sense and a deep connection to God back into our lives.”
The Way of The Livingness is a religion of healing. Through what I now understand religion to be, this has healed what I previously thought of religion and the hurt that I felt by religion. It’s been the religion that I have been searching for all of my life. But interestingly through this I have realised that I didn’t need to go searching that everything was already within.
love your description of a true religion Dean, something that is honouring of our divine connection as well as being endlessly committed to human life.
I love that every part of how we choose to live is just that, a choice. Thank you Dean for bringing responsibility to the forefront of living a human life.
What a wonderful and inspirational sharing on what The Way of The Livingness is. If I hadn’t heard of this Religion before I would want to know more! Perhaps for some, the fact that it gives the responsibility for our lives back to us, and is not handing it over to God to save us, would take a bit of adjustment. But ultimately this is a truly freeing way to live. Thank you Dean for your sharing.
Thank you Dean, that’s a great presentation of The Way of The Livingness, beautifully said. It is as its name shows a practical application of our divinity to life, nothing reserved for a special few, all held as absolute equals and with true commitment to life.
A great description of The Way of The Livingness. When we let go of all the ideals and beliefs that have been running us for years we find we are a joy unto ourselves. I still find things to let go of and my joy keeps on increasing. This joy far outweighs the misery of the world and impacts on all around me.
This religion feels so true for me as it is about how I live everyday and in every moment of the day. I am responsible for the choices that I make and I can feel the presence of God within me. I love reading what you have shared here Dean as it is so affirming for me and explains what true religion truly is.
Spot on Dean – a true religion does not save but leaves each person to empower themselves… to embrace self responsibility and thus know themselves, and divinity, through their choices and theirs alone.
Thank you Dean for a great blog. I am blessed after searching all my life for God, to have found him in what this true religion offers is a way back to our divine selves which is a way back to God. “This is a glorious religion because it presents a simple way of living that if applied naturally returns love, common sense and a deep connection to God back into our lives.’
This is a very affirming blog to read, Dean, as it is about how to relive every aspect of our life everyday. It is not about going to church on Sundays and forgetting about God for the rest of the week. God is in the details of everything I do as he lives within me and I am his body of expression.
I love what you have shared here about the Livingness and what it truly is. The Livingness is about how we live in all aspects of our life- there is no on and off switch. God is the centre of our livingness but he is not imposing any rules or regulations -it is all about self responsibility and the choices we make.
Beautiful Dean. The Way of The Livingness; no dogma, no rules, no separation, just a choice in every moment to live life from, with and in love and is equally available to all humanity in every corner of globe. “Equally, it never lets go of the sacredness and truth of the fact that we are Divine beings and Sons of God, living in physical bodies.”
Thank you Dean for a beautifully clear and simple yet profound sharing, on The Way of the Livingness. There is no other way to finding the truth of who we truly are are and living a life from the grandness of this abiding love.
Thank you Dean for such an awesome blog and a beautiful reminder of how The Way of the Livingness has supported thousands of people to turn their lives around in amazing ways. The Way of the Livingness equally offers everyone an opportunity to truly heal and deeply connect to God and return to true brotherhood.
Well said Felix, The Way of the Livingness offers true freedom for everyone and supports us beautifully to return to the love we naturally are.
What a great blog Dean. I found it so easy to follow and yet could also marvel at the richness of what the Way of the Livingness has to offer each and every person equally. This religion certainly has my attention and I am developing my re-connection with God and myself daily.
Dean a beautiful sharing – thank you. When we choose to embrace self responsibility into our everyday livingness there are as you share, “no magic pills or secret membership just free will and choices based on a true understanding of life”. The Way of the Livingness.
Thanks Dean – I loved the straight forward way you have explained this religion – the Way of the Livingness – especially your comments that it is all based on a foundation of love and self responsibility. The only study that is required is of ourselves.
Thank you Dean for expressing so clearly and eloquently on what religion truly is and wonderful to read of the changes in your life as a result of living The Way of The Livingness.
I love this whole piece of powerful writing Dean. The disclaimer in the end is beautiful! ‘This is a glorious religion because it presents a simple way of living that if applied naturally returns love, common sense and a deep connection to God back into our lives.’
You need to apply it naturally and never as a set of rules or dictations, it is always an offering for us to feel what is true and to choose the connection to God.
A really simple, accessible summary of what The Way of the Livingness religion is all about, Dean. Many people, myself included, tend to recoil at the word religion, because of its associations with doctrine, ritual and power. What is entirely different here is a knowing that Divinity is in each one of us equally and there is no judgement, just free will to live how you choose. You summed it up for me in the line, ‘It is a triumph in self-responsibility and if embraced, allows a person to be completely empowered by their own choices – no Saviours to come and do that for them, no magic pills or secret membership, just free will and choices based on a true understanding of life.’
The word religion has always made me back steadily away, but since learning more about The Way of the Livingness and redefining what religion truly is, has helped me understand it was not religion I was backing away from but the way it has been bastardised. I now look at religion as a beautiful way to live, rather than something to avoid at all costs.
Well expressed Dean!
The Way of the Livingness is what you have described.
This religion accepts, understands and confirms who we are. It provides practical tools to live a very rich and successful life.
I know without the way of the livingness I would not be aware of the key values that are innate within me. Instead they would have been sitting dormant until such a time that they were inspired to be actively in my everyday life. Thank God for Universal Medicine and the Way of the Livingness.
Thanks Dean for a easy to understand definition of what The Way of the Livingness is and also how effective and positve the life changes are by living it.
Thank you Dean, this is a most powerful expression, you share the depth of beauty, simplicity, grace and absolute grandeur available to us all through The Way of the Livingness. The way of return to what we innately know, our natural divinity, our love and light. “This is a glorious religion because it presents a simple way of living that if applied naturally returns love, common sense and a deep connection to God back into our lives.”
Dean my whole body said YES as I read your blog. Yes, to reading something so truth-full and profoundly touching, yes, to the power-full life changing amazingness the Way of the Livingness brings, yes, to true religion and yes to returning to who we truly are!
Danielle I am deeply touched by what you have shared here. Yes the Way of Livingness is a glorious religion that has also deeply supported me to completely change my life from one of ill health, depression and failing marriage to one of great health, true purpose in life and a deepening of love in my relationship! I would highly recommend it to all!
It is just gorgeous to read the Way of the Livingness so beautifully and powerfully explained. How could you not want to embrace, or be embraced by that. Absolute, self-empowering Divinity.
Hey Dean, this is such a beautiful way of expressing The Way of the Livingness. Thanks for putting it in practice and taking an immense amount of responsibility and for openly expressing this here.
Awesome Dean. Understanding what religion actually means was a turning point for me. It made sense, and through developing self care and self love, it gradually opens the door wider to who I am. The Way of the Livingness is The Way.
Thank you Dean, I agree, common sense is truly part of the way of the Livingness and God!
Wow! Dean such a beautiful, powerful blog you have shared with us all – one of many lines that stood out for me today was “No magic pills or secret membership, just free will and choice based on a true understanding of life”. To know that each and everyone of us are powerhouses of love and everything required for this life is within each and everyone of us.
The simplicity and power with which you express this Dean is amazing and I love how you sum up what we are being offered ‘providing a living example of how to re-develop the Divinity within ourselves and re-kindle our connection with God as an everyday practical human being.’ Thank you for your clarity.
The power of taking responsibility for our own lives and living these everyday choices is amazing, when these choices are made from love of self and of others. Reflecting on the changes you have made Dean, others may look on and say that it requires a miracle to turn things around but that suggests to me that change requires someone else to do. Living ‘The way of the Livingness’ is so simple and the rewards are Love, Love and more Love.
So beautifully expressed Dean, that is the way of the Livingness and that is the way I am now choosing to live my life. Thank you for sharing your journey and truth, it is deeply confirming that this way is the way for me!
“The Way of the Livingness teaches you to be a responsible, supportive, loving, and understanding human being” “equally, it never lets go of the sacredness and truth of the fact that we are Divine beings and Sons of God living in physical human bodies”. The Way of the Livingness religion so beautifully explained, thank-you Dean.
Beautifully said Dean. The Way of the Livingness brings us back to who we truly are and there we find everyone else as we are all from the one source. The Way of the Livingness is a very practical, joyful and purposeful way to live and now that I have found it again I would not live any other way!
Absolutely Nicola I feel I have been given the gift of a road map for life which means I am never lost.
Yes indeed Liane – it always comes down to choice. We are always choosing even if we think we are not choosing, that too is a choice. This month’s free audio of the month on Unimed Living is all about Choice: http://www.unimedliving.com/voice/audio-of-the-month/the-deepest-form-of-prison-2015-09.html and how our choices can either be freeing or imprisoning.
Very simply put Dean, and full of truth. The Way of The Livingness is a religion that presents the universality of all life, and people interconnected with each other and so God. It is the only religion I know that does not distinguish, for how can it when central to this religion’s core is love or truth – a universal love that we all are, and are from. Hence all are always, and never not, invited to this Religion. It’s more whether we choose our own truth and love or not that confirms our entry to it.
Wow. Dean. This is the Way. Thank you for writing this piece.
Well said Dean. Through self love and self responsibility we are able to connect with the divine and bring that into our everyday livingness.
Thank you, Dean, for spelling it out as it is, no holding back. Everybody who still has an issue with the word “relegion”, like myself, should read this over and over again.
What a powerful blog Dean!!! You summed it up very clear how a true religion can be: “that it leaves each and every person knowing that who they are, what they do with their lives and how they choose to be in terms of love, care and taking responsibility for themselves, is all entirely up to themselves.” What else do we need????
It really is inside us all isn’t it… waiting to be tapped into.
I agree Dean,The Way of the Livingness is a true religion that empowers everyone equally, with its base of self love and self responsibility that allows us a deeper connection to the divine.
Great blog Dean. I can absolutely feel how amazing the way of the livingness is. There is no imposition, down playing a person, secrecy or hidden agenda. It’s so refreshing to be apart of… I say it many times but I’ll say it again, there is nothing else quite like it out there. It is completely different to everything I’ve experienced with religion.
A true religion offers a relationship to God that is one of equality. The Way of the Livingness as the religion founded by Serge Benhayon does this, lovingly so.
Wow Dean! This is a mighty powerful piece of writing – thank you for this gorgeous blessing. You have clearly and truthfully reflected the essence of The Way of the Livingness, through your expression, your Livingness – absolutely inspiring. I agree that this is a glorious path of return to the glory of who we are. And love how you summed up this divine religion as one – ‘that it leaves each and every person knowing that who they are, what they do with their lives and how they choose to be in terms of love, care and taking responsibility for themselves, is all entirely up to themselves.’ The Way of the Livingness is my religion and I am experiencing immense joy and empowerment in returning and knowing who I truly am as I live now with more love in my life with all that I do, and my connection to God is ever deepening.
Yes Dean I agree The Way of the Livingness is the ultimate in self – responsibility and self-empowerment and as a result allows us to see the ideas, belief systems and behaviours that have us trapped and therefore truly sets us free of these and gives us the opportunity to really live life in a joyful, abundant and playful way.
Thank you Dean for expressing your connection with the Way of the Livingness religion. It has supported me to understand that my life IS religion if lived to it’s fullest and is dedicated to my fellow human beings returning to their Divine origins too. Beautifully expressed.
Well said Dean, all of what you have said resonates with me.
Dean you most certainly are living the Way of the Livingness when you right something so powerful like this. How it is down to each and every single person to have their own relationship with God, this is true religion and how we are returning to this connection that has never left us as God is our creator and is one of us. This sentence jumped out at me big time – ‘It is a triumph in self-responsibility and if embraced, allows a person to be completely empowered by their own choices ‘. I am choosing this self-responsible way and most definitely feel the empowerment in these choices, they like yourself Dean they have been life changing. Feeling this Amazing every day wasn’t even on the ricta scale 10 years ago when I started to attend presentations with Universal Medicine.
A most beautiful, concise and clear explanation of The Way of the Livingness. Written by someone who has embraced this religion with their inner heart and soul and who’s life has transformed as a result. Thank you Dean
Dean, this is a power-piece. I love what you have written here – it is simple yet explains exactly The Way of the Livingness and its practicalities in its entirety. I love what you say about self-empowerment through choices. We are indeed shown that it is our choices – and our choice of will that governs how our life will be. An empowerment and responsibility not welcomed by all, but equally available in every moment regardless. Thank you Dean!
True religion from an ageless source.
Dean this blog is an incredibly beautiful description of The Way of The Livingness! I felt my heart open and my whole being felt the essence of what you have expressed. Thank you for making the start to my day feel so blessed.
Stunning Dean. No aspect of life is left unturned or reduced whatsoever, in the Way of the Livingness religion. As a student of the Way of the Livingness I have learnt to commit to life in full which is a forever deepening process. To be all of who I am everywhere, at my workplace, in the supermarket, when I pay my electricity bills and when I cook a beautiful meal to nourish my body so that I can express all of who I am through the vessel I am given. The Way of the Livingness is practical with every aspect having purpose towards brotherhood, harmony and love.
When we understand the true meaning of ‘religion’ and that our natural connection is divinity, the Way of the Livingness is the only way to be, and self love is the ingredient that binds it all together.
‘This is a glorious religion because it presents a simple way of living that if applied naturally returns love, common sense and a deep connection to God back into our lives.’ I absolutely love these words – how many other religions can say that? I’m pretty sure zero!
I loved reading your blog Dean – “It emphasises the word returning because it knows we are all already Divine and pure by essence – just disconnected from it and now making our way back again.” – So no need for trying.
This is how I have come to reconnect and not feel so at odds with the world around me. “The Way of the Livingness therefore teaches you to be a responsible, loving, supportive, and understanding human being – while simultaneously never losing sight of the practicals and rigours that we all must endure in everyday life.” Because it is lived in my everyday choices it becomes embodied and through this I come back to knowing who I truly am.
I love how you express so openly and honestly in your blog Dean –
“This is a glorious religion because it presents a simple way of living that if applied naturally returns love, common sense and a deep connection to God back into our lives.”
So very true!
Your description of ‘just free will and choices’ has been a very revealing part of this ‘religion’. It’s a word I would have run away from at a great rate of knots before finding Universal Medicine and starting to free myself from all beliefs and values that were binding me in old patterns of behaviour and limiting my choices.
This is a truly power-full expression of who we are. Thank you Dean this deeply resonates with how I feel towards myself, my religion and my relationship with Universal Medicine.
True religion Dean – beautifully expressed.
Beautiful Dean. Your words as profound as they would be with something that has allowed to shift your life around. The Way of the Livingness has also helped me to turn my own life around by learning to trust what I feel with and in my body. A new world opened up for me, one that does not make sense without religion. The Way of the Livingness just brings purity and joy to it while it helps to build rhythm and consistency.
An amazing blog Dean and a Glorious religion. Thank you.
So beautifully written Dean. Finally after many years of having no understanding of what religion truly was – The Way of the Livingness has answered all my questions (and I had many!). A return to a simple, connected and loving life which turns out I am solely responsible for. Revelation!
