Imagine a world where everyone first knows and claims their preciousness; and not only this, but knows that everyone else is equally as precious. If there were any religions, it would only be that of love. There would be no mistrust between humankind because everyone is an open book and nothing has to be hidden or protected; and if anything is not done out of love, everyone is aware that self-responsibility cannot be avoided.
A world where parents and schools share what is truly important for a child, by supporting him or her to grow up to know his or her true self, rather than what he or she is told to be. From day one, there is love, and only love.
Where corporates work in collaboration rather than in competition. Work is not about projects or skills, but about people – through the unique expressions of one’s light, everyone’s contribution is a confirmation of who they are in a harmonious synergy with others. Every part of every contribution is essential, not only within an enclosed system, but ultimately, for the entire human race.
Imagine a world where family is beyond that of blood, nationality, community, tribe, sect or pact. Everywhere we travel, we are returning home. Language will not be a barrier towards connection, for it is not the main form of communication; we utilize a much more truthful way to communicate, that of feeling from the inner-heart. There is no differentiation in the love we hold for everyone, whether we have met or have not met.
Why is this world not that kind of world presently?
We are living in a perception that every one of us is separate and individual, when in-truth, we all know brotherhood. Individualism rewards us with what is recognition and identity. Achievement and identity have almost become the reason to be human, and being human has come to equate with being only about self. Instead of love and brotherhood, we enter school to immediately learn about competition at 4-5 years of age, and even earlier, if favouritism began at home. As is currently the case, being human in this world feels nearly unnatural.
Being human has been my greatest anxiety. In fact, this anxiety has been so strong and overwhelming that for most of my life I had sought to escape life. I know deep down there is something so much better in this world, not because I am a dreamer, but because that is exactly how I know life to be. Yet, I do not know how to live that fully.
And because of that, I have felt hurt. I have been impatient and very reactive towards humanity, only because I had needed humanity to fulfill my expectations, and that is not love.
So after years of reaction, I went back to square one. What if love was taught to me on day one? I would then be reminded that love is never imposing. It is just forever patient and non-judgmental. Would love ever feel alone? Never, as love just is, it is nothing but being that. Would love allow itself to be walked all over in the name of trust and would love be abusive or take abuse? No, as love cannot ever cause harm, either to oneself or to others. The truth is, it has taken me decades, and probably lifetimes, of not living what I know in my heart. How can this not be the greatest anxiety a human being can experience, if it is allowed to be felt?
I had not committed to life by living and expressing what I know is true in my heart because I had felt inadequate, small and powerless: knowing love, yet I lived all the lovelessness by reacting to the world. Instead of being me, I focussed on not being understood. Knowing brotherhood, yet what I lived was separation. I did not let love in, and that was not true love, because true love is when loving out we equally let love in by acknowledging the divinity in every human being equally. Therefore, I am also responsible for the world that I know is not being the world it is truly meant to be presently. Having said that, I know I can also make a difference by finally choosing to live what I know in steadiness and consistency from now on. In fact, it is my responsibility to commit to life.
Yes, I am one person, but I have the whole of the universe with me, backing me up, cheering me on, holding my hand when I need it, because now I have chosen to finally let the world in.
The Truth about Universal Medicine 
What if love was taught to us on day one, reflected to us from every angle, that love was all we knew and all there was in truth?
As each of us reconnects to the love that we are we meet this love in another.
Isn’t it strange that being human has been an anxiety – that being human means being separate and you do not have a reflection that Love is who we are, where we are from and what we are made of. We each have the opportunity to turn that around by living in a connected way and throwing separation out of the window.
To live as a one humanity offers so much more truth and I suspect will lead to more decency and respect.
We make true brotherhood appear utopian by moving further away from with in every step, to make it look like an impossibility because we know the precise detail of it, and it is catching up with us to announce the game-over.
Watch young ones grow with there parents exposing the ill energy they can get into is such a joy as they are so naturally loving when given the choice of energy of our essences, which is the energy of love.
You paint it so clearly, a world where we would consider love before everything we do. It may seem like a dream, like an unrealistic desire, but that is only so because we deny our innate way of being.
‘Everywhere we travel, we are returning home. Language will not be a barrier towards connection, for it is not the main form of communication’ This is really interesting to read and reminds me when my son was young and we travelled aboard and although he didn’t speak the same language as the children there, they would come together and play and it would be this very sweet and loving connection without words.
‘Imagine a world where everyone first knows and claims their preciousness; and not only this, but knows that everyone else is equally as precious.’Reading this I can feel how gorgeous it would be to be confirmed in our preciousness and that boys would not need to toughen up and hide their preciousness and girls could feel empowered and walk their preciousness and that we could grow into tender, sensitive adults that respected ourselves and others, this feels very different to how society is at the moment.
I get to feel this every time I travel somewhere, the people I go to visit are like family to me. And I can feel that whomever I go to see with a few exceptions are very pleased to see me rather than just seeing me as someone there to sell them something.
One of my most gorgeous joys is meeting and connecting with new people when I am travelling (or not as the case may be). It doesn’t matter where I am if that connection is made with a genuine openness and transparency on both sides.
Brotherhood would be taught from day one if we actually simply just allowed our hearts to rule – instead of the over complicated mind.
It is interesting to ask what if we were brought up knowing love, how would things have been different. I know on a human level we could say we may not have had the most loving upbringing, but love was always there with us whenever we chose to be open to it – at least, that was my experience. But what happened was, I felt it did not fit in with the way I thought i needed to be to fit in with life, so personally I become the nice and pleasing boy rather than simply staying with what I felt and knew was true. No matter what I can say love has never left me, I have just chosen to look the other way and dismiss it.
Yes individuality has a lot to answer for. When we wake up and realise we are all one and it is love that unites us, we can drop our comparison and competition to outdo each other and work together. We are so much stronger when united in a common purpose that serves the all.
Such a great title Adele. What if indeed. Yet we can introduce this love and brotherhood into our lives today and every day. What a reflection we would give to others, and often do……
I have come to understand that we are all born knowing love, knowing brotherhood and knowing our place in the world, but at the same time we are born into a world that is set up for us to forget this as soon as possible. If we had carers and teachers who know this to be true, then our natural knowing will be honoured and supported from day one, but most don’t and the world that encourages separation and competition becomes the only world we know. But, thankfully those initial knowings do not go away, but simply wait for us to come to a moment in time when we make the choice to return to who we truly are and with this return, the reconnection to the love and brotherhood we know within every particle of our being.
It’s beautiful to watch young children who know this innately, supporting and loving each other.
What if we choose love first, and foremost, ‘we make the choice to return to who we truly are and with this return, the reconnection to the love and brotherhood we know within every particle of our being.’
“Knowing love, yet I lived all the lovelessness by reacting to the world. Instead of being me, I focussed on not being understood”. So many people know the way other people are behaving is not it but do not stop our own behaviours of reacting, playing small etc. So this is what we each have to work on, to live what we know and not wait for anyone else.
From some this may seem like a utopian world, and it could remain that unless we start to live it in our own way in our own lives. Build up little microcosms of brotherhood until they all come together.
If we let go of the lies then what we will be left with is the truth of life -we are all deeply connected and hugely affected by every single move that we make.
Going into the victim mentality, blaming the world and wanting it to change first so that we can come out of our hidey-hole.. how many times have we all played this game, in various ways, and for what? Eventually we have to ask ourselves if all that hiding and protection has really been worth it – has it made us feel safer, and given us the respite we were seeking, or has it simply separated and alienated us from each other and the world at large?
“What if love was taught to me on day one?” Great question Adele, if we were taught love from day one, we would not be living in the separation we do and brotherhood would be a natural way of being.
The more humanity calls out all forms of abuse the more we will be able to live true brotherhood.
Yes and not wait for the abuse to be horrendous, call out the small things that hurt and ensure we live in a more responsible way so we make ourselves accountable for the hurt we inflict on another by not being more aware of the impact of our thoughts, actions and words.
Competition and comparison keeps us separated as rivals vying for the sense of being better or more than another – but will always come at the expense of another feeling less. Competition and comparison is thus the complete opposite of the collaboration and unity that is the most productive, efficient and nourishing way to work and attend to our day to day responsibilities.
We can’t have someone wining without someone feeling a whole lot lesser, and to see the result of this in the faces and bodies of our children shows how evil this whole “competition and comparison” set up is. It very easily keeps us away from knowing the truth of life, that we are all one big global family, and that living in brotherhood is the true way to live. And what a very different world it would be it we all chose to live it, once again.
I totally understand where you are come from Adele when you say
“I know deep down there is something so much better in this world, not because I am a dreamer, but because that is exactly how I know life to be. Yet, I do not know how to live that fully.”
This is our lesson of life, we all know deep within that there is another way to be, it is having the courage and will to live this way. And as we have been gifted free will, for many of us we have not willingly wanted to change. When humanity reaches rock bottom then we will call out for the willingness to change our ways.
‘being human in this world feels nearly unnatural.’ what a great observation Adele! What is deeply sad is that this dis-ease is our normal.
I totally agree with what you say Doug, how many of us have ever stopped to wonder what is behind our preference for individuality over harmony. One man has and he is being ridiculed for his knowing of what is really going on in this world.
“Yes, I am one person, but I have the whole of the universe with me, backing me up, cheering me on, holding my hand when I need it, because now I have chosen to finally let the world in.” a most gorgeous and powerful statement Adele, one that is offered to all, when we finally choose to let love in and let love out.
We are so supported to be and live love.
The utopian image of a perfect world where everyone is feeling loved is not ever going to become a reality, because everyone will always be on their own journey with this, and this is the beautiful thing about life on earth, how each person can live their path as they need it to be according to the stupendous love that we are dearly held by.
It’s about loving ourselves and all others, and as you say Adele, letting our love out, and also letting others love in … seeing the divine essence in each of us, feeling how each of us holds that no matter what and it starts with connecting to our own divine essence.
Allowing the flow of love, in and out, connecting with our essence and living our life from there.
At school we used to look forward to that rare 15 minutes when the teacher would open up the locked cupboard and let us play with the toys that were in there. No wonder we treat Love the same way – like a special treat we might sometimes let out. But that’s not the truth of how Love works, it’s not about savouring small pieces but bringing play and joy to every moment.
Essentially we are all role models for all children (and adults), as we all offer a reflection by the way that we live life, so we all have the opportunity, and our expression counts in bringing our way of living as a whole back to true love everyday.
Let´s start being and working together in our relationships, friendships, families, workplaces,… grow it from the smallest cell to the whole organism we know as the one humanity we are.
The problem is that we are stuck in a somewhat vicious cycle which is that it can be very challenging to raise children in and with love, if you were not raised in this quality yourself. Therefore the responsibility rests with each of us to rekindle this inner flame so we do not contribute to the diminished glow of another’s.
How beautiful. This title speaks the golden truth. For if we learned by our childhood and education what true brotherhood is – by re-connection to our knowing of what this is, we would have a complete opposite world. A world that would be having values based on love.
What an amazing education system this would be and how deeply inspiring and confirming of all we are to be celebrated every moment in our lives.
” not living what I know in my heart. How can this not be the greatest anxiety a human being can experience, if it is allowed to be felt?” So true and very meaningful to share and look at life differently to what we may have received and to honour who we are innately within ourselves first and share this with everyone we meet.
‘and if anything is not done out of love, everyone is aware that self-responsibility cannot be avoided’ and accountability. You are right we are all responsible for the world we are living in and I love how you have innately claimed this and turned it around from where you have been in years of reaction to now this ‘Yes, I am one person, but I have the whole of the universe with me, backing me up, cheering me on, holding my hand when I need it, because now I have chosen to finally let the world in.’ Very beautiful Adele keep shining ✨
Having the universe to back me up when I need it sounds very comforting, thanks Adele.
Brotherhood seems a massive leap away when you look at the current state of the world, your blog is a great reminder that we can start to change this right here right now by our choices today and how we interact and speak with everyone we meet.
‘ What if love was taught to me from day one’ – now there’s an education worth having…..
When we believe we are all individuals and have autonomy we go into ‘ mine’ and ‘yours’, and the haves don’t want to share with the have-nots. True brotherhood loves all equally so, knowing that none of us really own anything. We are all care-takers. When we all recognize the multidimensionality. of our world this can and will be achieved.
When we are living in the belief that we are all individuals and not connected, then every particle and cell in our body is under enormous strain and tension. Just goes to show how the body can’t handle not living the grandness that we are.
We can balk at life in reaction to all that we can see is harming, or we can like you offer here, commit deeper to being true to who we are in every way and bringing that in full back to life, without conditions.
We have the Universe within us, every single one of us, and access always to the love we are and come from but we don’t always live that, and I can see how we all hold a ransom on each other not living who we truly are and raging at others and the world for not being the love we know we all are. But it starts with each of us, living the love we are regardless and allowing others in, and knowing that each and every one of us is love no matter what.
The fact that we can only think of brotherhood as something desirable makes clear the grasp blood-hood still has on us.
The loss of self in brotherhood is rewarded with the true self that only can come to full bloom in union with others.
It is the dissolution of self that leads to the true self – the measureless space in which we truly meet each other.
Love the last paragraph ‘the whole universe behind me ‘ what a wonderful claiming the truth of our origins.
When we drop our hardness and protection of keeping others out, and we make the shift to let others in, our hearts expand, we expand and evolve as love is our natural way.
“Instead of being me, I focussed on not being understood. Knowing brotherhood, yet what I lived was separation.” – I can relate to taking this stance in life, and have noticed that every time I have withdrawn from people based on a feeling like I was not being understood, it resulted in a downward spiral of self-destructive behaviours, because I then allowed the negativity and self-negating energies into my body through the contracted state I chose to be in, holding the world for ransom, which helps no one in the end.
It’s the perfect excuse to carry on in the same irresponsible way.
Actually love is taught from day one but usually not by those around us who themselves are missing the love in their lives. Love is omnipresent hence why we feel the pain when we are not loving, that should already teach us to return and or align to love. What is missing is the expression of love and thus we are not brought up by the expression of love. Everything in life is a lesson, the absence of love due to not being expressed as much as the presence of love are teaching us what love is.
I remember the terms “open book” and “closed book” used flippantly when I was growing up to categorise us based on our nature in relationships. In truth no one is a closed book. It is not our natural nature to not let others in.
What would our lives look like if we committed to it in full? What a different world it would be. What a different life we would lead and what magic and love we would be saying yes to daily.
What if questions are not in vain or day-dreaming when they state the truth of what should or could be; then they activate the truth not yet lived but laying within as a potential to be awakened.
The actual cause of the anxiety most human beings experience and probably accept as a given explained, and as well, the catch 22 that we create the world we feel threatened and pressured by, through the reactions we have towards it. Not before we step back and return towards ourselves can we step out into the world with something that can bring a true change.
It’s horrible isn’t it but not horrible enough for us to want change.
“Being human has been my greatest anxiety” – this is such a profound statement. It exposes the undertone of our existence – a step-down from the Divinity we are.
Beautiful Fumiyo, this statement grabbed me too and sums up perfectly living as a human but closed off from the love we are and come from.
Adele, this blog speaks to me at such a deep level and I feel like I have had an almost identical experience to yours in my life. – “Being human has been my greatest anxiety.” – this sentence by itself epitomises how I have felt for the majority of my life, always knowing there was something much grander and interconnected about our being that we were not taught growing up. ” I have been impatient and very reactive towards humanity, only because I had needed humanity to fulfill my expectations, and that is not love.” – To this day I sometimes wonder why I am reacting so much to all the cruelty, disharmony, lack of respect and decency in the world, but the basic tenets of what love is and what it is not that you have shared here Adele are super helpful in living in the way I would like to see the world be. Thank you for this wonderful blog.
It is so easy to expect the world to bring all we know to be true. But brotherhood does not come to us – it is up to us to live it in the world and then it will one day be the only true reality on earth.
We think we can save the planet but it’s not by any petition or march, it is simply by living the love that we are and the ripples spread…
To really connect with our innermost is to connect with the all and the knowing that we are interdependent by nature and part of the all.
You had me at the first line Adele – what you describe is not a distant fantasy, but what we are all destined to return to. It’s just a matter of us seeing through time to understand space and grasp the beautiful part we each play in the human race.
Yes this kind of world is possible and it starts with each one of us living the way we want the world to be.
If true love was taught from day one, we wouldn’t have sibling rivalry, sisterly jealousy, cousin put downs, classroom competition, workplace bullying, abusive marriages, depression, self-abuse in all of its varieties. Ironically enough, if true love was taught from day one, our world will be filled with love – we may even be open to stopping and smelling the flowers on our path.
It will be amazing when we can live as you describe Adele. A world where family is beyond that of blood, nationality, community, tribe, sect or pact, but where everyone simply knows we are all Love. When we know this as our normal, there will be true joy in the world.
Every single one of us on earth comes from love, so living the opposite to that is in constant rejection to what we are, hence the anxiety and tension.
When we, as a whole humanity, embrace the religion of love, we then will begin to truly advance as a civilisation where we can live together our true potential. As it is from this point of love where our Souls lead the way in order of us to rejoice in the awe and live the power of what we are truly capable of. This we will realise is our true normal.
We are love. Therefore we cannot be taught to be something we already are, but we can be supported to feel safe in expressing this love in a world that has drifted so far from it.
I have always felt unsafe to express myself in this world and so hid and played very small. Having worked on healing my hurts, I now feel so very differently, having made the space to let love in, I now can share and express more love out, and yet there’s always more love to receive, but I now make the choice to make life about love.
When we make life about love, there is no end to the depth we can go 🌟
‘What if love was taught to me on day one? ‘ How would I feel when I woke and let the world in knowing the world is only love? And what if I lived knowing that beneath all the harshness and cruelty that exists there is a love that is forever beholding of us? I would feel expanded and light and see the beauty and order at play.
That is so true, no matter where you have been, the world is always there, and each day when we wake up we can choose to see more of the world (in truth) and let it in, let people in and become present and aware of what is going on, and the love that we are (each individually and together). No one can take that away from us, even though sometimes we use it as an excuse, we can start choosing to be open to the world and let them. Only this will form the brotherhood we wish it to be, to then become our reality by our own living choice.
It is important to appreciate we all have something different and unique to offer, but that we are equal in our quality of essence.
Yes, and what we all offer is of equal importance and merit because all unique perspectives are divine reflections of the whole. Supporting ourselves and one another to shine brings through our glory.
I do recognise what you say Adele, that there is an anxiousness of not living that quality I know so well in my inner heart. That instead of this inner knowing, I live in a constant dependant of the recognition of others that indeed, cannot be anything else than cause the constant inner tension my body is experiencing.
I love the analogy that everyone has something unique and vital to contribute to the world, that the world would not have without them – it really highlights how important it is for us to be true to who we know we are and learn to never hold that back.
By withdrawing from expressing the love that we innately are, we have forsaken true Oneness for individualism. Thus we lust to be ‘the one’ and all the recognition and identification that comes with this, at great expense to the One we collectively form when we are not competing and measuring ourselves against each other but simply living in accordance to the one-unifying breath the pulses from within.
The lust to be ‘the one’ for recognition and identification is there only because we have walked away from this knowing that we already are the one in brotherhood and made this copy of ‘the one’ as our creation instead.
We don’t need to defeat the ills and corruptions of this world – just address the core of this mess, the illusions we have about ourselves. When we live understanding the truth of who we are none of the junk sticks – and our natural loving brotherhood is obvious as our way. Thank you Adele.
If this was made part of the fabric of our society then we would have a very different society, imagine life where people were not running from or covering up their hurts. The whole way we go about life would be different, there would be a true purpose, a true foundation and one where we don’t have to walk again the path of frustration.
This is beautiful and real, making me realize that I have expected many and much from outside of me whilst actually all this came from missing not living it myself. Ouch! Seeing that I was actually creating my own spiral (circle) not changing much myself. Very silly actually.. Now it is key to keep observing my own creations and start bringing more love (me, the true me that is love inside) into my daily living.. As expectations are a huge imposition on another and very dishonest to yourself and others. What you do not live yourself you can not especially expect from another. A beautiful teaching itself.
That is my kind of religion – knowing how precious we and everything else is. I would think this is Gods kind of religion – based on true love and equality, not man made rules.
Having and trusting our divine connection to God show’s the simplicity we could all live if connection was our choice of movement.
After reading this I feel the power of the space we all have to be our love, to come to it in our own time and to gloriously live it, for our world has to see it to be able to discern that what they too feel and know to be true is not an impossible dream, that it can be lived.
The following line struck a note in me in reading it this morning “being human in this world feels nearly unnatural.” When I am home with myself this is actually what I have felt for the whole of my life, a deeply ingrained anxiousness because of living as a multidimensional being in a reduced three-dimensional body.
We often demand that others love us but refuse to love ourselves. Bringing it all back to self-responsibility is key to addressing this ‘sickness’ within our communities once and for all.
We stand at the centre of the universe in every moment, meaning that at any point ‘we’ can make a difference to how things are and look. We often and I have often walked away because I am only one and what difference could that possibly make and yet this one can make all the difference. How we live and be in the world, in every moment has a huge impact on everything and everyone around us. It may not change the way we want or go as far as we think it needs to but every point is a point we have available to us to make a change.
If we all viewed ourselves and others as precious the world would be a very different place. Quite astonishingly so.
Ohh that’s a big ouch of humble honesty including for myself …. you can only ever let the support of the universe in if you are also letting humanity in. We all want the world to be loving (or do we?) but we are the ones that have to choose to make this change.
Adele, you opening line was simply divine “Imagine a world where everyone first knows and claims their preciousness” yes to do wonder all the time. It would certainly be a different world, one that is more tolerant or others, we would see the grace and love in one another and be able to hold each other in a way that is supportive and loving. I look forward to seeing these days when that is the case.
The first four paragraphs is the world I want to live in – the open book, but the reality is we are far from this. It starts with the thing missing in our lives, that thing we have been searching to fulfil – true love. And when this is realised we can truely begin our journey to undo the steps that kept us away from this.
Knowing that we have to walk the steps to correct those that have taken us away from ourselves and others can appear arduous, but nonetheless are a natural part of the learning process and evolution of human life.
Your initial paragraphs Adele are where we are heading, a glimpse into the future. These aspects already are practiced in our world today but are far from being accepted as normal. However as we build and share a way of living that holds our equal divinity as being our true selves we bring that future towards us all.
It takes a great deal of energy to live apart from what our bodies know to be true. We are love, each and every one of us, and therefore being influenced by the layers of protection we put on ourselves and communicating with that rather than the essence of who we are would seem illogical and extremely exhausting as we are immediately sensing there is more going on that we are seeing.
It’s a way to react to the way things are but change will only occur when we choose differently for ourselves.
The ‘Imagine if’ question you posed Adele, in the context of family; “Everywhere we travel, we are returning home” offers the understanding also that our relationship with ourselves and our inner connection IS that returning home and so wherever we go matters not.
‘Being human has been my greatest anxiety’ – the same is true for so many people around the world. The antidote to this has to be to turn within, to love one’s self with all one’s commitment and will, and equally to open up and to let others in: to love and allow yourself to be loved, deeply.
Heaven on Earth will be when brotherhood does not need to be taught but is the natural way of being for all.
Once we awaken to the glory of who we truly are we realise that Love has always been there.
‘In fact, it is my responsibility to commit to life.’ So simple and yet so powerful if we know this and make this our living way, we waste too much time waiting for others to change or for life to bring us something better, when in truth it is always ourselves who have the power to bring the true change and love we are seeking.
If we live the future now, the world we want to live in will come.
What this blog makes very clear is how many things of this world conspires against us being simply us. And how much beauty they rest in our daily life. It is up to us resurrecting ourselves to bring it to us, hence to all.
I personally find when I focus on my personal worries I make myself that. Where as, when I play it Big the whole world responds.
“Yes, I am one person, but I have the whole of the universe with me, backing me up, cheering me on, holding my hand when I need it, because now I have chosen to finally let the world in.” I love this line, something we definitely need to be taught from day one or more so this needs to be kept, acknowledged and cherished from day one.
I love this too. A great reminder that we are made to work together.
Beautiful Adel and a gorgeous reflection of the future we are ultimately returning to live. It is so true that we can never be alone when we are connected to love, as by virtue of the fact that we are all love in essence, we are therefore inescapably connected to all, in Brotherhood.
What a stunning return! I can feel the futility of resistance and the fact that every cell of my being is pulled to live that love, the essence of who I am, in every moment.
The truth about brotherhood lives not in a gesture or an act but in our willingness to connect. When we feel, sense and live knowing we are one, there’s nothing harming that can be done. It’s living in the conception that we are ‘individual’ somehow that brings us all down. Ironically that’s the thing, life is constantly showing us that this separatism doesn’t work. And so you could say we are taught brotherhood everyday by life’s events. Thank you Adele for reminding me that I am with you and us all in life – there’s no way I can hide from playing my part.
Once again you hit the mark with me. There is a victimhood we can live from when we don’t feel we have been met by the world for the love that we are. We react to the ugliness, the comparison and the separation of ideologies, countries and even families and then don’t let people in, just in case we get hurt by them. We can choose to perpetuate that way of being, that way of living, or we can choose to be the love that we are from, that we are and inspire that in others through a trust in our consistency. Step by step.
“What if love was taught to me on day one? I would then be reminded that love is never imposing. It is just forever patient and non-judgmental. Would love ever feel alone? Never, as love just is, it is nothing but being that. Would love allow itself to be walked all over in the name of trust and would love be abusive or take abuse? No, as love cannot ever cause harm, either to oneself or to others.”
These lines I will hold dear, I will take with me and I will cherish them. You have really changed my life with these lines. Love would never be needy or hurt either, I have been playing games and this simple piece of poetry has reminded me that I need to stop.
In order to love, and be loved, we first need to be that love for ourselves. This is not an arduous path, for we are all innately love, and this is what is missing in our development as we grow from childhood to adulthood.
We are often taught or presented with the idea that we can love one or a group more than another or that we will have one true love but what if we actually cannot in truth love one more than another? What if true love is universal and unconditional – as in we don’t withhold it or release it depending on if another ticks our boxes but it is something we emanate equally for all – no trying to love or push others away.. To me it is still true that we are monogamous and that there are those we spend more time with and practically are more responsible for but it doesn’t mean that we hold anyone else as any lesser.
When we separate from the one truth, we disengage from the all and this is where we begin to stray and not see that every movement we make can be one held in responsibility and contribution to connection in brotherhood or against it. It all begins with us and our choice to build a consistent pattern of movements towards love or away, but the real constant in our lives is that love is forever patient and waiting for us to simply choose a new foundational movement towards the yes to life and love equally so.
You describe the future Adele, our potential and what it is we must return to eventually…
You mention how brotherhood does not need to be impeded by the separation of language. I find this very powerful as while language can be a great barrier to understanding what another means you can feel from your heart what they are conveying as their whole body is also communicating not just their mouth.
We think we know what Love is, but if we ever pick a fight, critique or attack another we have long departed from Love’s safe shores and just hold this idea of what it is in our head. Then it’s just a mental thing – not a living quality. This practice of existing conceptually has got us into so much trouble. No amount of fine words will replace living with integrity. Thank you Adele.
What a beautiful blog, it is so true that the state the world is in currently is far from allowing us to be love in all its facets. But has narrowed it down to dependency and is about competition more than working together as a whole. We are all beautiful loving beings from day one we are born into this world, cherishing this from day one and taking this learning with us when we didn’t get this is a truly beautiful way, to return slowly but surely to a new society that lives as one.
When we look at the state of the world it can be quite daunting as to where to start with bringing true love and care into it. The answer of course lies with each and every single one of us. We have the power to change the world by changing how much love we choose to connect with on a daily basis. The more we connect with our true essence and live from that place the more love is seen and felt. This can then inspire another to live their true essence and this is how the world changes, one person at a time.
What I am getting now, in no uncertain way is that life is actively teaching me Love each and every day. And actually it always has been operating this way. For in any difficulty I experience; stress I see or unhappy disturbance I feel around me – it all points back to something that is out of place and educates me on how to hold a space to allow others and myself to see through the junk to remember the glory and the grace we all naturally are. There is no amount you do and then you are ‘done’ – life and Love’s learning forever will come. Thank you Adele for reminding me of the true way life is designed to be.
When we take responsibility for ourselves, and express in true brotherhood, we have the power to change the world.
The reason true brotherhood is not a reality is that very few of us are even able to master one on one relationships, known as sisterhood. Without that foundation, it is very difficult then to apply what you learn in that relationship to the rest of humanity.
So true, we are guarded against being hurt, therefore mistrust and jealousy lead the way. Working on letting people in starts with one person at a time, then brotherhood naturally follows.
Yes Adele, brotherhood is our way and something that is natural to each of us. When a moment of crisis happens to us where the isolation of being ‘individual is felt or where there is nothing we feel we can ‘do’ alone to change what is happening, we are be drawn to others in a way that true brotherhood is experienced. Once true brotherhood is experienced it is never forgotten for it ignites the re-connection to what is true that we all know.
When we work on our own only with the intention of our own self gain our rewards are for us as an individual only. But when we collaborate with others and work in unity the rewards are for everyone.
Knowing love from the inside out, but choosing to be dictated to about what love should be from the outside in is the greatest cause of anxiety in our world today. To speak truthfully what we feel may come with uncertainty and unsureness, but to not creates a life of being in a prison of our own making. That of denying the truth we know as absolute.
“What if true love was claimed from day one”, we would have no wars, no abuse, no corruption, life would be about love first and foremost and anything less would stand out and be exposed. While this may sound an impossibility, the more people that connect and live from their inner most the more this will naturally happen because from the inner heart abuse of any kind stands out and can no longer be tolerated
What if we claim true love for ourselves right here and right now? This question made me smile, a pre-cursor to my initial question: What if true love was claimed from day one? It all starts with each and every one of our choices.
I am learning that claiming love starts with a movement towards something I know to be true. I used to think I had no idea what love is but the truth is it starts with us, the next choice has the opportunity to be love, it really is as simple as our next choice.
One day we will live in a world where love is the only religion, then we will not have to imagine. Love, equality harmony and brotherhood will be truly lived;
“Imagine a world where everyone first knows and claims their preciousness; and not only this, but knows that everyone else is equally as precious”.
Amazing really that the education we have allowed and endorsed is all about how to be an individual, how to not be who we truly are, how to seek outside of ourselves, how to be competitive so in effect how to harm ourselves and create separation and nothing about true love, energetic integrity and responsibility. Seems the curriculum is due for a change.
Your comments on competition feel very stark Adele. I have played a lot of competitive sport in my life but within me it never felt right. I had to draw on something unnatural to be so competitive and to have the desire to be better and to win. We are not truly competitive by nature. Our nature is to be unified, to work together in collaboration, sharing our uniqueness with each other to be part of that greater whole. It is pure common sense really – but we do not always pay heed to our common sense it seems.
In a sense, to me at least, learning that we are here to ‘be love’ rather than seek it from the world and others is what it means to be ‘born again’. It is a complete turn around of the way I learned to live life, in search of love, trying to be a good person, trying to please others and God. Today I know that love is innate within me and that it is my responsibility to live this nature and reflect it back to others. Yes, it would be wonderful to have learned this from day one, or at school – but I appreciate the fact that I have learned it at all in this lifetime – thank you Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and the long line of teachers who have consistently shared this teaching with us all across the ages.
I am inspired by your dedication and commitment Adele. Seeing it put into lived action and not just as words is what is the most power for change.
“I am also responsible for the world that I know is not being the world it is truly meant to be presently. Having said that, I know I can also make a difference by finally choosing to live what I know in steadiness and consistency from now on.” This is such a gorgeous empowering, loving and responsible way to relate to our relationship with life and the world we live in.
It is indeed our responsibility to commit to life Adele, thus creating a life, for all, where brotherhood, harmony and love is truly lived.
I seems easy to see what’s wrong with the world and be in reaction to that, rather than see our part in creating that by our behaviours and choices. How am I living in my life, and what am I adding to our collective space? It is empowering to know we have a choice in every moment and movement we make.
So true Victoria, we have the power and choice to be and live the love we are looking for in others. It always starts here.
A great call for us to live in a way that reflects the world we want to see. I agree Adele…”Therefore, I am also responsible for the world that I know is not being the world it is truly meant to be presently.” If we each do our part then this is what we are bringing toward us.
A powerful blog Adele – confirming that commitment and responsibility to life are key to bringing brotherhood, love and equal-ness to all. To celebrate our preciousness together and without competition in any form is a way that is possible for us all to live, as reflected 24/7 by the clear and true role model – Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine.
We are never alone with we connect with ourselves because the universe is right there within us and all around us.
“Where corporates work in collaboration rather than in competition”. When I read these words, I realised just how far away from that we are. Business is all about competition, competing with each other, even competing with the consumer, to find ways to hook and beguile them. I know that one day it will be possible for businesses to collaborate, to make it about people and to not be driven by greed. This will have to come from us, the people who work in business and act as consumers. We need to live this role model and vote for collaborative organisations with our business.
A very enjoyable read again Adele, you describe the future, where we are going, but also what we can live right now if we choose it.
We can be fooled into settling for comfortable surroundings, nice words or friendly hugs. We can think the world that we see is ‘all there is’. But it is simply not true. For when I read your words Adele they ring out in my heart, like bells on the hill – and seem to say yes I don’t need to wait but with my tenderness as my strength I can live this brotherhood you speak of, today.
Such a world would be a true blessing every second of every day. Yet, till we get there, we have to be able to start living like that. If no one starts, we will never make it there!!
A lot of articles and things that you read say ‘imagine this’ or ‘imagine that’, ‘what if the world was a different way?’, yet there is something about what you say Adele that touches me so deeply. I feel it’s because I know what you say is the absolute truth. It’s not something we have to now create but facts we can surrender to and live everyday. And when we do we may find the world will shift and change.
Some would say this is utterly utopian and too unimaginable to even consider that humanity could even live this way with each other. After all relationships are one of humanities greatest issues. If it was not for conflicts in relationship then we would not have even half of the issues we face globally. War for one would not exist. Hence it starts in the home as that is where all hurt festers and grows into the issues that are far bigger.
I’m often touched by how people in the street or at train stations, have a way of seeing someone they know, and lighting up in their whole body. ‘It’s you! My precious friend’ their cells seem to say as they hop, skip and jump their way to meet up. I’ve started to wonder what our lives would be like if we dropped the idea that other people are strangers, and saw them more as long lost friends we just haven’t spoken to for a while. Then I suspect we would start to find, as you show Adele, that there is a warmth and openness that exists between us all, naturally so. For this is the true way we are designed to live.
It is hard to commit to life when life gives zillion reasons to react to it. The commitment though, is to see life in its magnificence, to see human beings in their magnificence and to live in connection with it as much as we can; a commitment to look past what makes us react; a commitment to God; a commitment to life beyond this lifetime.
It is a beautiful thing to picture and feel for ourselves, brotherhood from day one. It is giving us the opportunity to see how far we have drifted away, and giving us the opportunity to reconnect to this what in truth is innately known, living it to the best of our ability.
If brotherhood was taught from day one, all self-interest behaviours would be exposed for what they are. A fact that the force-full individuals in this world will resist at all costs.
“because now I have chosen to finally let the world in.” this line is powerful, when we start to let love in we cannot but feel all that unites us. As you say we can know within us that living in brotherhood is our natural way, yet if we are living in separation in our own lives it will not be our reality.
We do have the vast majority of the world set up to re-inforce the illusion that we are separate; borders on a map, different cultures, nationality, religion, language etc.. This is not to say that we can’t have different expressions, but what if the energy behind them was truly coming from a one-unified way, from our innermost in the knowing that we are all equal in essence and are in effect one big family? Love what you present here Adele, and how you recognised how much of a difference we each can make by not judging but committing to life in full and being love unconditionally.
Great reminder, one person cannot do it all but one can inspire everyone else to live a life filled with all the things we know to be true.
I am sure most of us wouldn’t link the words love and brotherhood in our everyday lives… and yet one arises from the other by your account Adele. The world would certainly be very different if we started out with this very fundamental understanding.
“…I am also responsible for the world that I know is not being the world it is truly meant to be presently. ”
I agree Adele, even when our life seems fine, knowing that others are not fine and that there are atrocities going on all around should be enough to make us question what is not right in our lives, as all cannot be fine if that is not a reality for all.
yes that “all cannot be fine if that is not a reality for all” brings home the reality of where we are at as a whole. We cannot actually fix all the issues we are experiencing as a whole though we can each person take responsibility for the lives we live, and from living with a connection to the love we are, we will step by step return from our separative ways.
“Would love allow itself to be walked all over in the name of trust and would love be abusive or take abuse? No, as love cannot ever cause harm, either to oneself or to others.” – This line really stood out to me today, making me think abut how often we can look at love as a linear one-directional energy rather than appreciating that true love encompasses us all equally and so cannot accept abuse of self anymore than abuse of any other..
Thank you Adele for your powerful blog. This is very inspiring: ‘In fact, it is my responsibility to commit to life.’ I have started to commit to life more and more. I am totally inspired by blogs like yours Adele and from people I meet at Universal Medicine. My life is richer, more meaningful and loving due to my willingness to learn, to take responsibility and appreciate the reflections from people who are fully committing to life too.
Thank you Adele for a truly beautiful blog calling us back to the equality and love of true brotherhood that we once knew but was hidden from us.
We are multidimensional beings. The physical dimension, backed up by our five senses, gives a clear feeling of the fact that we are separate beings. This is what we see, this is what we learn and this is the basis of how people act. There is an energetic dimension that we choose not to be aware of. This dimension is truer than the physical one. Is deeply natural and familiar to us. In that dimension there is no separation. The key of brotherhood is the feeling we are working together to go back to this true we belong to.
It is very inspiring to read this again Adele. All that you have written is absolutely so true as we are so much more than the reduction-ism we are currently subscribing to as a humanity. Why are we living this way and not of our natural way of oneness? As we all equally hold within the template of Brotherhood, and the fact is, that this quality is what drives us to seek the oneness of love, when we are living in separation from it. The ever present love that is within us all, is far more than anything we could ever want or need, we simply need to only begin to choose it.
Through brotherhood we can evolve to our true way of living!
Just the inspirational talk I needed to read. A beautiful reminder that I know love and have always known love. I may not have been taught from day one but the knowing of love has never left, I had chosen to walk away from it, and as such I can chose to walk back to love.
This is a gorgeous call to live the love we feel inside, to commit to life and live that what we know deep inside. True Brotherhood.
I agree Benkt, a call to our true responsibility.
It is a great picture of how life could/would be if we were taught and lived life with true love from birth but as you so correctly share this can only occur if I live “my responsibility to commit to life”.
I remember especially in my teenage years saying and thinking things like, “I just wish I could be who I truly am” and would blame this or that or ‘so and so’ on not allowing me to show or live the real me. It’s funny in a way looking back on how upset I used to get in believing others were holding me back, but what I see now is that what I was reflecting out to others was no different than what I believed was ‘happening’ to me. I was reflecting that something outside of us always controls how much of us we show… and my picture of what it meant to ‘just be me’ was not true or real anyway. Like being who I truly am is not being able to swear at home or go out drinking and partying and disrespecting myself or not doing my jobs. Beautiful to be reminded that love is love, and there can not be in truth any variables or manipulation of that.
When we choose to separate from that grandness we all do belong to, we choose to live a reduced way of life we all know too well, that life where competition, comparison, self-doubt and self-worth plays their games and we all innately know that it is not truly it.
The problem is that many of the things we may feel to be innately true have been bastardised, and so we lose trust in what we feel is possible. Say the word brotherhood, and perhaps you are turned off because you think of communism, or gangs. Mention the word love, and perhaps you think of romantic comedies, or the burden of having a partner, or of being emotionally pulled on. Mention religion and you immediately think of blind faith, hypocrisy, dogma, or even worse war, sexual abuse, corruption, greed, and manipulation. So even if you present true love, true brotherhood, or true religion, you are already up against all of that before you even start. Thus why when you do realise yourself the truth of things, you need to accept deeply the way the world is and the way others are, and be understanding of why there is such resistance to what seems to obvious and simple.
It was great to come back and read your blog again Adele there was much that resonated with me, This was a sentence I glided over last time, but I could really feel how we all have the opportunity to change the world by changing how we live. “Therefore, I am also responsible for the world that I know is not being the world it is truly meant to be presently” We have yet to accept that this is possible, yet by being more loving and tender and allowing Brotherhood to be at the forefront of our lives we could all make a huge difference to how we are with each other and the world would respond accordingly.
Ah what a magnificent blue-print for a perfect world!
It is interesting Adele, because I know most babies are born with and knowing love. I also see how parents especially dads become really tender with their babies and little children. So we experience love as a baby. Yet it is not what we see all around us. I know for me it was confusing with peoples actions and behaviours not equating to the way they were with me. Many of us, me included, then try to copy what our parents, brothers, sisters etc.. are doing to fit in and sadly this is usually void of any true love. So we go into trying to cope and fit in with the world mode and lose the sense of ‘preciousness’ we were born with. The more we embrace and live the love we are the more our children will then see and feel this and the world will change.
The word ‘precious’ or ‘preciousness’ I would have purposely avoided until recently when during an Esoteric Yoga session I got to feel the preciousness within me and because of allowing myself to feel precious I can say I feel comfortable with the word now. Everyone of us is precious but unless I fully claim this preciousness and appreciate it within myself first it is impossible to feel and accept the preciousness in another.
Adele your blog hit so many points of truth in my body, I could feel shift after shift within.” I have felt hurt. I have been impatient and very reactive towards humanity, only because I had needed humanity to fulfill my expectations, and that is not love”. This line was huge for me, something I had heard said in other ways but never felt how much expectation I still had and how it’s effected my way of living.
This blog is so gorgeous with it’s clarity on love. So much is held onto and lived that is not what we know love to be within. “I know deep down there is something so much better in this world, not because I am a dreamer, but because that is exactly how I know life to be. Yet, I do not know how to live that fully”. We are now at the beginning of our way back to living all the love we know we are. If this was something we were taught as number one priority and an absoluteness, great shifts would take place within humanity.
We tend to think that life is about all the things that we do every day. That if only we could organise them and arrange them in the ‘right way’ everything would fall into place. But what you show here Adele is that is a big fat lie. Before any task, before any job, before we get up and ‘get on with life’ we are LOVE. We are God’s Love and the Universe’s breath. We are infinite, grand and super deep. We are tender delicate and super sweet and all of this is there right at day one, in every cell, in every one. So we don’t need to learn it or be taught this but simply to return and rediscover the truth.
I have reacted to lots of things in life because life is not playing out the expectations that I have had. Where everyone works together for the benefit of all. But how can this be true if I am not making that commitment myself. It has to start with me, how I choose to live and the choices that I make. As I deepen this commitment to myself I realise that I cannot judge or expect anything from another, for they too are responsible for their own choices and the consequences of same. If I buy into that then all I am doing is trying to control something that cannot be controlled.
I can relate to this and also “have been impatient and very reactive towards humanity, only because I had needed humanity to fulfill my expectations”. I did not like people so much. Mostly I found them annoying.
To realize that ‘they’just reflected to me how I felt about myself, and that in fact I missed the deep connection to you all was liberating as well as challenging. It challenged my way of living, my way of ‘safety’. And I had to realize: if I want a change for me (and the world) – I have to change my way of living, have to change my choices. To see no longer ‘what can I get’ but now: ‘what can I bring’ is a big change and offers the world to me again. I am connected and in love because I choose so.
Adele,
Letting love in is, I am discovering, the only way to let love out. In my experience. Love is a flow of energy that holds others and myself as equal and in this energy is everything that all could possibly need in every moment to invite each person to accept yet more of the flow of love through us.
If we lived this way Adele, we could never be fooled by a harsh word or frustrated step. It would stick out like a sore thumb in the landscape of us living our preciousness, as one. Reading your words I am reminded that we do come to this world with the greatest textbook, the most comprehensive guidebook, the wisest degree in life you could buy – we come connected to our inner heart. We are already taught all we need, we just need to remember that we already know. What a different school system this would be, if it was based on re-discovery.
I closed off to the world as a form of protection, but it didn’t work. Healing my hurts has enabled me to let the world in again – what a difference that has made to my life – and to others. If we were taught about love from day one our world would be transformed. And so it will be, one day.
Gorgeous Adele. “Imagine a world where everyone first knows and claims their preciousness; and not only this, but knows that everyone else is equally as precious. If there were any religions, it would only be that of love.” So many pearls in this blog.
Gorgeous Adele – ‘Yes, I am one person, but I have the whole of the universe with me, backing me up, cheering me on, holding my hand when I need it, because now I have chosen to finally let the world in.’
I can feel how I have been living in the knowing of the absolute Brotherhood, and in reaction to the fact that that is not what is being lived, including by myself. I can feel judgment and holding back that I retreated back to to lick my own wounds. I am feeling how this unfulfilled image has stood in the way of understanding and reconnecting with others in true ways.
Beautiful Adele… letting the world in is a big order… and doing so from the premise that our starting place is love is something we all have to do eventually if things are to ever change in a true way. Thanks for being willing to step forward and start the process.
Adele I love these words ‘because now I have chosen to finally let the world in.’ We spend so much time and effort in keeping the world out, in order to protect ourselves, but when we do this we miss out on all the love and beauty the world has to offer us.
yes and it actually doesn’t work as far as ‘protecting’ us when we try to shut the world out. This is what hurts us the most; it is not natural for us to be in separation to each other and the beauty that surrounds us.
If we were to live from true love from day one our life and others would be transformed, and life on earth would no longer be the corrupt chaos it is becoming because everyone lives for their own self gain, but lived in brotherhood for all, supporting and assisting those less able, standing as one unified truth.
Like you I know brotherhood yet for years lived in separation and as others have shared, we have ALL played a part in how the world is today ‘The truth is, it has taken me decades, and probably lifetimes, of not living what I know in my heart’. And in the recent weeks globally we have felt this even more, a poignant blog to read right now. It is our responsibility to feel this .. the mess that we have created. It is also our responsibility to heal it and anyone unsure of where to start with this I will gladly signpost you to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for help in lovingly knowing where to begin ✨
We have all played a part in the world being how it is and it is indeed our responsibility to play our part now in being and living the love we want to see and know is possible.
‘Individualism rewards us with what is recognition and identity. Achievement and identity have almost become the reason to be human, and being human has come to equate with being only about self.’ This shows how far we have separated from the true love of brotherhood we all deeply know from within.
This is beautiful Adele and in truth this is what we have left and what we are returning to.
This is one beautiful sharing Adele, of the ideal World! I too can totally relate to that kind of world and know it starts first with us and is a very real possibility as long we keep an open loving heart and live with this each day in our interactions with others.
I love what you have shared here Adele, to commit to life, that is our responsibility of each of us. To live and express from our hearts, to not react to where the world is at and shut down, but be open, loving and trusting that there is disfunction, complexity, corruption and evil on the planet currently, but that does not mean there is all there is, there is love that emanates from within, so it is up to us to live that love.
From day one NOT knowing our preciousness is the daily message we get from the world. We are taught, told and encouraged to harden up and ‘learn’ to be here but why? Why ‘fix what ain’t broken?’
Every single cell in our body knows who we are truly. We are divine. ✨
Yes Adele I agree, not living in and with our connection to truth and expressing that is causing much anxiety
“The truth is, it has taken me decades, and probably lifetimes, of not living what I know in my heart. How can this not be the greatest anxiety a human being can experience, if it is allowed to be felt?”
I love your blog Adele. We all know that there is something missing in life as it is now and that something missing just happens to be ourselves. We have disconnected from our divine nature and that as you say is very anxiety provoking. Learning to re-connect with ourselves is one of the most powerful things that we can do to change our lives forever.
Absolutely beautiful Adele ‘Yes, I am one person, but I have the whole of the universe with me’
‘And because of that, I have felt hurt. I have been impatient and very reactive towards humanity, only because I had needed humanity to fulfill my expectations, and that is not love.’ I hear you Adele! Yes we can know that things can be different but they are not and it is not supportive to react continually to a world that needs love and understanding.
The phrase “circumstances beyond my control” comes to mind and I realise that, in truth, nothing is beyond our control for ultimately we are all making choices and those choices determine the outcome. So we are all inextricably linked as in a brotherhood and it is only because we want to single ourselves out and be separate that we get into trouble. We call this the human condition as if it were a’ fait accompli’, a done job, and nothing could change it but maybe this is not true and there is a way to live that allows for a deepening of our awareness and connection and that allows for self responsibility in our concern, care and love for the whole, for all.
Brilliant blog Adele, I have read this a few times and every time I feel deeply inspired. We all know and can feel brotherhood within us, it is our choice to live it or not. When we choose to live in brotherhood, love is deeply felt. We don’t have to wait for others to choose this, the beauty is we can simply choose to live in brotherhood and this is what will inspire others to return to what they too already know. Love is what will unite us all and bring harmony back to our world.
Such a powerful blog Adele. ‘Achievement and identity have almost become the reason to be human, and being human has come to equate with being only about self.’ How far we have walked away from our natural way of being – Brotherhood. As situation we have all created and as you say Adele, one that we can change by simply focusing on living love for ourselves, letting love in and recognising the Divinity of us all.
How gorgeous Adele – it is true we all have the whole Universe with us when we choose love.
Yes Adele, I agree, the answer is to build the love in our own bodies so that we can live the future of such a brotherhood now in our own way and thus pave the way for others.
‘I am one person, but I have the whole of the universe with me’, I love this line, we are part of something massive here, and one person can make a huge, huge difference.
Adele, it sounds like an unattainable utopia but love and Brotherhood with all is where we came from so it is for us all to make the choice to return to the love that we are.
Like many I previously did not have a glue about truly committing to life and taking full responsibility for my part of living a loving life and the ripple effect this has on everyone. Reading this today Adele brings home the truth and in your heartfelt words “I know that I can make a difference by finally choosing to live what I know in steadiness and consistency from now on. In fact, it is my responsibility to commit to life”
And what a reflection that is Adele to inspire others also. Thank you.
I love the point that as individuals we are also responsible for the way the world is – in some way or another we have all contributed, even if only to stand by in silence and not to speak up. It’s time to stop blaming the world or thinking that there is nothing we can do and to take responsibility for living a more loving life. There have been many world teachers throughout history – such as Plato, Pythagoras and Jesus and many others – who inspired by way of reflection in the way they lived, and we can do the same.
In the midst of interactions that are full of reaction, discussions that are laced with emotion, it is truly powerful to continue to see and feel our essence. It supports us to know that everyone in this world is not at all the sum of their hurts but is defined underneath by the warmth of their inner heart. Thank you Adele for this reminder of what brotherhood is like to feel, not just think and consider.
Yes this factor is not taught as yet, but we do all know from young that this Love is true. Hence why we struggle so to deal with a world where it has been vacuumed out. But you illustrate beautifully Adele, that it is our choice today to return to the book of our heart or to laboriously struggle on. There’s no need to wait for others to change or the world to be a different way, we can start to re-teach ourselves true brotherhood today.
I have wanted to be love and live love for most of my life, but it was a false love, a love filled with pain and suffering, I have now come to understand that it is the separation from my own love, a love that resides deep within my heart that is my deepest hurt. This separation is the root cause of all mankind’s suffering. When these hurts are finally healed we will have brotherhood on earth.
“What if love was taught to me on day one?” Is it possible that we know love when we are born and then learning about love is simply a case of allowing that knowing to spread its wings and fly. What it means to me to allow, is for the chain of control and ownership over children to be broken. I vow this will be my way from now on.
“Knowing brotherhood, yet what I lived was separation.” This jumped out at me, living in separation when we know brotherhood hurts us deeply, and I feel is behind many heart related illness’s and disease. To live the opposite of who we all truly are together by hiding and acting like we are not all one and the same is crazy. Thank you Adele for detailing how the world could truly be if we all jumped in feet and heart first and committed to life.
“Therefore, I am also responsible for the world that I know is not being the world it is truly meant to be presently” When I read this Adele I can feel how we all equally have a responsibility for the way the world is today. One day we will all know what brotherhood is, and that there can be no division, separation or wars, that we come from love and it is our responsibility to return to love and that living together in harmony is our true way of being.
‘Imagine a world where family is beyond that of blood, nationality, community, tribe, sect and pact’.’ What a beautiful picture you have painted with your words, Adele.
It would be easy to write off such a world as being a utopian ideal, and yes, given the current state of things, I would say that it is. But that should not stop us from working towards to the possibility of such things, nor devoting our lives to knowing true love. Such is the only way home. For it is not evil as we think of it that is our greatest vice, but the giving up on our own true divinity that keeps us pinned to the struggle of existence.
Your comment is very powerful Adam.
No mistrust between humankind with nothing being hidden or protected and ‘everything’ based on true love – We will get there eventually. Awesome sharing Adele.
“…love cannot ever cause harm, either to oneself or to others”. A great understanding that if we truly claim love it has a way of acting and being that can only heal or inspire. Trying to control with mind or physical aggression has never worked for me and opening up to love is a revelation I would not have come to without the support of Serge Benhayon.
So true love can only heal and inspire, there is no causing harm. One just needs to truly claim love. Love heals all.
Throughout your blog Adele you ask some very pertinent and relevant questions, questions for us all to ponder. I just love what you have expressed here;
“Yes, I am one person, but I have the whole of the universe with me, backing me up, cheering me on, holding my hand when I need it, because now I have chosen to finally let the world in”.
Thank you Adele.
I read your blog a while ago Adele, in reading it again is simply magical. What you’ve shared is so relatable, the anxiety that I have also felt throughout my life and why, is explained in your blog and how to discard it, is so, so simple. To choose love, to open my heart and commit to life and to brotherhood. For me, anxiety kicks in when I am choosing to resist what I know is true and for me the cure is to not resist but to choose love consistently.
Collaboration instead of competition, it’s only a matter of an angle. The same work could be done, just without all the edges. And we wouldn’t have to take away the edges with all our supplements such as alcohol etc.
You have raised something very profound here for me Adele and that is that as part of society today I can’t stand aside and say I want nothing to do with the mess that is out there: I am part of it and have added to it through my own choices. What is quite inspiring to remember is that the more lovingly I choose the part I play, the more I will receive the support of the Universe. It makes me very aware that I am just a speck in the scheme of things and yet I have allowed myself to get so wound up and preoccupied with my various problems. It’s back to basics for me!
Well said Helen – Adele has raised something very profound indeed and it calls us to rise up and be more love each and every day.
Yes, turning our backs is only adding to the mess that humanity is in. Each and every one of us without exception has our part to play by taking responsibility and returning to the love that we are.
Absolutely Deborah well said, responsibility is key to restoring true brotherhood and love again for all of humanity.
A great build Helen – I love the honesty presented in this blog and in the responses. As you say, we have added to the mess that we currently live in, and going back to basics – starting with the love we have for ourselves first, is a way to confirm that roles do not need to be what defines us. Yes we may be a speck in the scheme of things, but a few hundred specks goes a long way.
Adele what can I say: you have summed it all up, my reactions to life and how I had made myself a victim of life instead of taking the responsibility of having had my share in it. Thank you for making it clear, and indeed it is my responsibility to commit to life and live the love that I know I am.
I love your comment Annelies – that’s exactly what I felt.
This is the ‘utopian’ world that we have painted as being the ultimate ideal which ironically is actually a very achievable reality, in spite of the fact that what we have been sold is a view that this world is not achievable simply because we are ‘human’ and things like wars, terror, troubles, bickering, abuse, indecency and all our other ill behaviours are simply part of being ‘human’. Never have we been shown that there is in fact a choice available all the time to be Love and that this utopian world is not utopian at all but very very normal when we choice love.
So powerful, loving, light an wise, is your sharing here, Adele. I can very much relate to what you have written and will ponder on your words: “Being human has been my greatest anxiety. In fact, this anxiety has been so strong and overwhelming that for most of my life I had sought to escape life. I know deep down there is something so much better in this world, not because I am a dreamer, but because that is exactly how I know life to be. Yet, I do not know how to live that fully. And because of that, I have felt hurt. I have been impatient and very reactive towards humanity, only because I had needed humanity to fulfill my expectations, and that is not love.” What a great awareness you are sharing. So “Day one” can be every day by our own choice. Having then “the whole universe” with us. Wow, your expression to “let the world” in – is another level for me to consider. And of course, I can feel, when I let the world in, the whole universe is with me.
Thank you Adele for another touching and inspiring blog!
“Yes, I am one person, but I have the whole of the universe with me, backing me up, cheering me on, holding my hand when I need it, because now I have chosen to finally let the world in” Wow Adele this is beautiful when we let the world in we realise we are constantly loved 24/7 there is not one moment when we are not being loved, it is crazy to think we stop feeling this love when it is in fact there all the time!
Yes, it sure is crazy samanthaengland!
Yes Samantha it really is crazy to feel that we are indeed loved 24/7 and yet we choose measure how much love we will allow in or not allow in depending on the situation. When we are open to the all nothing can stop the full expression of love on offer, it is endless.
‘Where corporates work in collaboration rather than in competition.’
I love how you pose this ‘what if’s’ Adele – I had never thought about the fact that most companies or businesses are in competition with each other for what ever reasons, money, fame, reputation etc. It all moves in such a disharmonious way! I can only feel and imagine the potential of where humanity could go if we banded together, let our light shine and make it about people.
“What if love was taught to me on day one?” Reading this I can feel that I have always known love. It was taught to me on day 1 and I can choose it in each and every moment. Thank you Adele.
I can feel what you say Adele, that the anxiety that I always feel is because of not living the love that resides in me and in all of us equally. As you say we should learn this from day one that living love is our one and only purpose as this will bring a natural way of living together, living in brotherhood as one huge family.
It is indeed an enormous anxiety to know love, but not live it because others are not. This is a great blog to feel into that and know that I just can share my love.
A world where we all are in total loving harmony and appreciation of each other and equally committed to humanity as a whole is a world I definitely want to live in, and is thus a world so worth aspiring to and living for, for every single being equally.
Having commitment to be love in the world is a beautiful and awe inspiring thing. This will change everything. It will be so beautiful to live in this world with more love.
Holding the world to ransom because of its lovelessness only adds more lovelessness to the world we are in reaction to. So we are just as responsible for its situation. Choosing love and learning to live and deepen it every day, is the only way for the world to know there is a different way, and a reason to learn to trust once again.
I just love what you have shared here Annie C, it’s so true.
Well said Annie! I have experienced life holding the world, different events, and different people to ransom and am aware now that this does not bring more love to the world, but just brings more separation and more reaction. I have found that by choosing love, and deepening the quality of this love in my daily life, this is a totally different way to live, which is allowing me to begin to experience the true quality of brotherhood.
Beautifully expressed Annie – it’s so crazy how most of us so quickly allow ourselves to fall into this ridiculous cycle of lovelessness when deep inside we all know that Love is the only way.
I love your sharing Adele. To be reminded in our childhood that we come from Love and therefor are Love would be a huge step forward for Humanity. If we were taught and encouraged to share this with our own children maybe we will break the cycle of individualism and competition we now have, it starts with us now.
A very honest look at humanity Adele – this line particularly stood out for me, ‘… being human in this world feels nearly unnatural.’ – It is completely unnatural as we are living the opposite of what we are (the majority is anyway). Humanity at large is accepting and living the ‘what is not’ and denying the the fact that everything is energy, because of it and we are subjects of it – now that’s pretty crazy. We turn our backs on the love we are, and God and make it about being an individual and gaining as much as possible from the outside world to make us who we are. When we deny the truth of who we are from the inside then we fail to see that true love is actually everywhere and on offer to us 24/7, in nature, the stars and of course each other. Except it’s not something we can gain or own, it is a reflection of the love we already are, a confirmation of God within.
Oh yeah Adele that would be great if everyone was taught love from day one. A child does not need to be taught love, they can feel it to their core, and indeed I have learned a lot about playful, unconditional love for everyone from observing children. What we need to learn as children is to discern true love from what our society has falsely reinterpreted love to be. This includes: emotional love, dependent love, over protective love, dutiful love, sympathy etc. We need to teach them this and show them what it means practically, not just say it and leave them to it.
I agree that it is our responsibility to ‘commit to life’. Like you Adele, I have taken a long time to realise this and allowed myself to get swamped with the messages of individualism that our society really pushes. I have come to realise that while I was good at giving what I thought was ‘love’ out to others, even that was conditional because it was freely given to some and held back from others. It was quite a big shock to realise that being ‘good’ in this way was only perpetuating the lovelessness that I was feeling and that the true answer lay in allowing others in, in addition to not holding back with expressing love out. None of this is genuine without a foundation of self love.
Wow Adele – another powerful blog you share of the truth about the state of the world. 2 years on and it is still the same. Perhaps a few more of us know that the world you imagine here is possible if we all commit and live who we truly are. As you put here;
‘Being human has been my greatest anxiety…I know deep down there is something so much better in this world, not because I am a dreamer, but because that is exactly how I know life to be. Yet, I do not know how to live that fully.’ – I have certainly felt this, felt how hurts can be bigger than the love I feel for myself and the world, feel lost and confused at the state of how we live. But I too have rediscovered that the world is at my fingertips, and that by allowing more love – it is the start of making a reality the world we imagine.
Thank you Adele. As each of us come to understand what you have presented here and live the love you speak of , we take more steps closer to feel the truth of the one brotherhood we are and the one soul we are part of.
Adele I was deeply touched by what you have shared and are embracing in your own life.
I particularly love “I had not committed to life by living and expressing what I know is true in my heart because I had felt inadequate, small and powerless”; as in coming out of this and knowing we have everything within us to love ourselves and then love everyone else.
Such a beautiful sharing Adele on true love and brotherhood. Thank you for your simple yet power-full questions that are certainly worth considering by us all.
I love and can imagine the world you speak of in your opening paragraphs Adele, we are from love and maybe don’t need to be taught that love but it definitely needs to be nurtured and we need to be met in that love and snowball that love to inspire others.
‘Achievement and identity have almost become the reason to be human, and being human has come to equate with being only about self. Instead of love and brotherhood, we enter school to immediately learn about competition’. This sums up for me just how much we have completely swallowed the idea that life is about recognition of the self through achievement and how it’s reinforced from such an early age that we no longer question it.
‘What if love was taught to me on day one?’ – A great question Adele! And is that because we have lost the understanding of the true meaning of Love? Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have certainly brought Truth and Love back into the equation in our current time.
Expressing from love is the only way forward as the way the world has been going about things doesnt seem to be working.
“Everywhere we travel, we are returning home. Language will not be a barrier towards connection, for it is not the main form of communication; we utilize a much more truthful way to communicate, that of feeling from the inner-heart.” The language of love is Universal. This is our future lived right here right now, if we so choose.
‘This is our future lived right here right now, if we so choose.’
Here here Barbara Ross – a beautiful and timely reminder that everything we need to evolve is available to us all the time – we are walking in the future by virtue of the space that holds us – it’s all there, why wait?
We feel the love that we are when we are young, the problem is as we look around at the adults, they have given up on it. It is confusing to see this and realise that we cannot hold for it ourselves or have trouble living remaining with the love.
Letting love in is our greatest form of healing and best medicine. When we let the world see who we truly are is such a blessing to all, and in this there can be no comparison or jealousy as we celebrate all the unique forms of expression that make up the whole and then divinely express as one – one day, a day when we choose to do so.
‘Instead of being me, I focused on not being understood’. If what we focus on feeds what we feel about ourselves, then it is true that if we focus on us not being understood this will always keep us separated from everyone else.
Thank you Adele I feel inspired by the beautiful simplicity in what you have shared and how accessible it is to all of us if we choose to connect.
It can be all too easy to fall for feeling we are alone when in fact we have as you say the whole universe with us. Thank you Adele for the reminder! and for bringing the simplicity of brotherhood.
Totally – the lies we can convince ourselves of are immense, and so incredibly far from the truth.
Adele, this is such a beautiful piece of writing, so open and honest and true. I feel deeply touched and feel you have presented the future for us as we all know it to be and show us the way to accept it into our hearts. Thank you.
We might not have been introduced to true love on day one of our lives but we have a choice at the beginning of every day to make that day, day one, and to begin to live the love that we all know deep within us, and from that love to make the choice to grow together in the brotherhood that the world is so desperately in need of.
Beautiful article Adele. Imagine a world filled with love. True love is already there deep within each and every person on earth but we have buried and over-ridden it with hurts and the pressures of existing in our physical world. When we learn to live from the love in our inner-heart we connect to the love in others in true brotherhood.
Adele, I was drawn to your blog to read in this moment that you are presently sharing your essence through the words being expressed currently to a wide audience at a presentation of Ageless Wisdom Teachings – I sense the beauty and the preciousness of the heart-full content of your article and feel the strength, power and lovliness being shared with and offering an opportunity for those who may choose to re-vitalize and re-unify oneself in brotherhood. Thank you.
Absolutely Adele, the truth is we create the reality we live with our choices, and all we actually need to do is commit to living what we KNOW to be true. It is our responsibility to make sure we live free from false perception, for as you show – brotherhood absolutely begins with me.
It’s important to remember we are..” responsible for the world that I know is not being the world it is truly meant to be presently.” Also I agree absolutely..” I can also make a difference by finally choosing to live what I know in steadiness and consistency from now on. In fact, it is my responsibility to commit to life.” This is it. The way forward.
Yes, I am one person, but I have the whole of the universe with me, backing me up, cheering me on, holding my hand when I need it, because now I have chosen to finally let the world in.
Yes what if love was there always in everything that we do with each other in the world? It often is not even thought of as an option as the way the world is running today is so accepted but yes what if there is another way?
The world that you share Adele in your blog is the way of the future. It has to be the way of the future, because how we are living now isn’t working. With the high and rising levels of illness, disease the way we are currently living is simply not working. It is not working because we are not loving with ourselves and therefore we are not truly loving with another. If we can start with self and our steps towards self-love, from here we can then build to love for all and brotherhood. This is the way of the future and only love will lead the way.
Its quite crazy is it not? Reading your words Adele really encapsulated the absurdity of our general way of living and how it is continuously passed from generation to generation. We all recognise true love, we want to share it, yet we hold it back. We want it given, but will not necessarily accept it. We want others to love us, yet we don’t love ourselves. We endlessly search for it when its constantly with us. We want to feel part of it, yet cling to separation. We claim we can’t feel it, yet its what we are made of. It makes no sense. Serge Benhayon makes absolute sense and thanks to his presentations and the Way of the Livingness we are offered the opportunity to cease the craziness and relearn how to truly be it.
Thank you Adele for expressing so eloquently what I too have felt in my heart. How beautiful to clearly explain it – how can we not live in anxiety when our natural way of living is to be with love and we don’t live like that. It is completely unnatural and when explained like this I totally get all of people’s anger and reactions. I have deepened my love for and understanding of humanity and in doing so have gone to another level of love and letting love in. Thank you deeply.
Adele your joy and your love of life is infectious, I very much agree with your words: ‘It is my responsibility to commit to life.’ You are so right, it is up to us and us alone what we make of life.
I loved reading this Adele, it is so clear that we are living in opposition to our natural state of love, the world is literally upside down. I am learning to let love in and out and I am very inspired by your words of how it can be when we let go of the individual hurts etc. I am so ready to live another way.
And I am ready to be there along side you Vanessa, living it too x
How far off is this world you write of Adele. Your blog really confirmed to me the responsibility we have to live truth,so as to inspire truth which intern will expose untruth. The more people that connect to the love that we are, the more people will also see that it’s a far better way to be. Why is it that mankind is so quick to anger, compete and go to war, spending trillions on these pursuits when all we need is love?
‘Achievement and identity have almost become the reason to be human, and being human has come to equate with being only about self.’ It seems that we have done such a great job of not letting others in that we have forgotten how to open our hearts to the world around us. It has become normal to keep others out and yet in this we feel alone and anxious. Knowing that it doesn’t need to be this way is a great start to making a much needed change and the ripple effect would be felt far and wide.
The concept of letting the world in is an interesting one. It would not occur to most people walking down the street, in my perception. It’s very interesting to go from living feeling like I am alone in this body of mine, to knowing that I am always connected with everything around me, whether that be the building I am in, or the clouds in the sky. On a recent flight I had the most amazing feeling being up in the clouds, and seeing the particles that make them up. It’s fascinating because some of the particles in those clouds, could once have been in me, and vice versa. The same goes for the people around me. Feeling this depth of interconnectedness is really cool, and definitely makes me ponder on the physicality that makes up our human existence.
Amelia, I love the little bit I know about quantum physics and particles and the fact we essentially share our particles with everything in the universe, how can we ever deny that we are not the same? And that we are not completely in this together?
Beautifully expressed Adele. Love is something that cannot be taught. It is anchored within us when we arrive into this world. The simple power of love.
You ask some huge and needed questions Adele – why isn’t the world based on love first when that is what we all truly crave?
Is it that we like our comforts, our complications, our independence more than what’s truly needed for humanity as a whole to move forward? We certainly have mastered shutting people out, but as you have shared, we are all equally responsible for letting people in. And just one person living a different way, as we have seen through the teachings of Universal Medicine, can inspire hundreds. So it starts with us, in every moment, to bring more love back.
A world based on loving and harmonious synergy between all, is really beautiful to imagine. It is hard to admit the part I too have played in it not being this way and the anxiety this causes can only be healed by the true commitment you speak of to live lovingly from here in.
“Yes, I am one person, but I have the whole of the universe with me, backing me up, cheering me on, holding my hand when I need it, because now I have chosen to finally let the world in”.
I love what you have expressed here Adele; yes I am one to and how powerful and divine we all are together.
There is love, and only love; how simple, wise and empowering.
I love this sentence too Shirl. So inspiring and powerful. We are never alone, even when we are alone, God is always with us no matter where or what we choose, He is constantly beside us supporting us along the way, in every step and for as long as it takes for us to return to love and to return to Him.
I’d love to see this amazing and honest sharing in publications around world. It has encapsulated the conundrum we live with on a daily basis. We all crave to be loved but instead of giving ourselves permission to remember as Liane’s comment above mentions, and also permission to surrender to the fact that we innately know how to be love and let love in as we did as a child, we instead live in the hurt and protection of needing it to come from another first. The conditions we put on people and the world to be a certain way before we are willing to be love, is nothing but a game we play to keep ourselves small and in contraction to the great love that is waiting patiently to be let out.
These are great questions to be asking on behalf of us all Adele, thank you. It would appear that this ‘love thing’ is a two way process; you love the world and you let the world love you. Often we find one easier than the other and rarely do we let someone ‘in’ unless they have let us in first. In other words: ‘I’ll let you see who I really am if you show me who you really are first’. With all these conditions that we place on love, the lack of trust we feel and the protection that we all come from, it really is little wonder we have forgotten the essence of true brotherhood. We don’t need to be taught how to love and be love, we need only give ourselves permission to remember.
Yes Liane giving ourselves ‘permission to remember’ what it is to be love re-connects us and allows us to let go of all the layers of protection and reveals the beauty of living in true brotherhood.
Awesome comment Liane, ‘We don’t need to be taught how to love and be love, we need only give ourselves permission to remember’. Interesting you use the word permission, it does feel exactly like that, strange but true, why do we need to give ourselves permission to love and to be loved when we are already love? Fear, fear of being hurt and fear of expressing our power and God’s power. Yet fear cannot exist when love is present, we would have had to suppress love to allow fear to run us. By choosing love is the only way, so powerful and so needed in our world.
Love from day 1 is something I practice to live everyday. Every morning for me is day 1 again. And I am very dedicated to be love in brotherhood, one day!
‘Every morning for me is day 1 again’ – that is beautiful Felix, what an amazing and fresh way to live.
Wow Adele, I love what you’ve shared. ‘Yes, I am one person, but I have the whole of the universe with me, backing me up, cheering me on, holding my hand when I need it, because now I have chosen to finally let the world in.’ This is inspiring, it feels like we are being held continuously. We are never alone or separate, when we connect to that deep knowing and our inner heart, brotherhood is naturally in us all.
I like this quote too, it confirms to me … Choose Love and the world opens up to it.
I agree, these words remind me too that brotherhood is always there, and that we never deal with anything alone – what a beautiful reminder.
I can best describe this feeling as a ‘love sandwich’ – we are love (first and foremost) we then bring in (the filling) self doubt, hurts,past experiences, issues etc – then realisation through choices that this is not the way forward on our journey – (the next layer) self love ignites our return again but this time we realise that everyone is equal and we are returning together – as one. Thank you Adele.
Great visual Marion. We only need to be filled if we have left ourselves empty. Thus the ‘filling’ you describe; the doubt, hurts, issues etc move in where we have left a gap, that is, we have separated from love. When we are love, there are no issues, the issue is – we separated from love.
Yes Adele, it is simple really. We are Love and it is our responsibility to live that first, to make the choices based on the love we know ourselves to be and so all others equally so. Our world is the result of the choices we make. If our world is not the love we know it to be be then change the world by changing our choices.
I agree, ‘change the world by changing our choices’. Taking responsibility and committing to choosing love is the key to all our personal and world issues. It is so simply, but I ponder on why I am not choosing this consistently? It is because I am relearning to connect to love again, reconnecting to the truth that I know is within and consistency comes with commitment and practise.
Adele if true love was taught from day one then the quality of life that we would all be living would be the polar opposite of the state that we find today in society. Yet I’ve come to understand and reconnect to the fact I naturally knew what true love was when I was a baby. As i build a life based on a deepening understanding of true love, with the inspiration of many other students of the Livingness, then the entire way I go about my life changes – being taught that from day one and growing up like that would have meant far less stress/tension on my body and those around me.
Thank you Adele, I accept this world already exists in the students of the Livingness, no perfection but a true willingness to live harmoniously together.
I am with you Adele, finally feeling I am enough as I am and beginning to let the world in. What a beautiful expression!
We can choose to blame everything and everyone for the way we are/ the world is, and that won’t change until we take responsibility for our own choices and choose to live from our essence of love, for in truth we all know our very essence is love and we all have a choice to either live from our essence or not.
Very true Deidre Medbury. And Adele expresses this beautifully in her sharing.
Simple, clear and honest. This is your blog Adele.
I was 100% behind your blog by the first paragraph 🙂 ❤
Yes, no need to wait for the world to catch up, each and every one of us can start living the future we want to live. True love let’s us all equally be, in the capacity we can’t possibly fathom, and that is us in essence.
The love doesn’t need to be taught, as it is our essence – we just need to live it.
This is true Peter. Very well said and a great reminder for us all.
So simple.
Indeed Peter Love is our essence. I feel most of us have forgotten how to live it, so being reminded to live this love is a massive support for humanity as so many of us have lost our way. Once we remember who we are, our essence and then we can simply choose to just live it. From here we naturally reminder others who they are too and reflect the fact that we have choices and responsibilities to return to love.
I love how life is one big continuous opportunity for us to see where we have not lived love and therefore by choosing to take the responsibility to do so, but without the need to change anything, the commitment to life and to being love deepens.
Even though at times certain areas feel challenging–without needs to a destination, we may discover that this responsibility always begin with ourselves–our responsibility to first accept, appreciate and understand ourselves. And from there, living love is not something we can or have to work out, which already takes away most of the tension. Being in loving firmness with ourselves in expressing responsibility and commitment, our lives speak for themselves. This is how our world will change.
I have often looked at the world and asked the same questions Adele. Why are we so far away from how things could be and meant to be. I have often wondered why we are so quick to go to war and shoot, blow up and all the other atrocities that accompany war when hugging someone feels so much better than killing or being killed. With more and more people making a true committement to love it will slowly inspire others, thats why it is so important to get self out of the way and see the big picture and the realisation that every true committed person is a step closer to the world you talk of at the start of your blog.
We will definitely return to one day working together again in brotherhood. It just may take a little time…
Thank you Adele, indeed our world would be a different place if love and true brotherhood was taught from day one. But in even these days when being being human is all about survival, we still have a choice to return to the love that we are.
From one person so much can change, as has been seen from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. And all he is presenting is that, that is all it takes – one person to change so much in the world. From this one person how many ripples have been spread and affected others in a way that is more caring, considerate of others, honest, open and loving? And from one person many others have been inspired to start recognising they they can equally live in the same way and that it can be done, to live in a greater level of care, openness and love towards themselves and others.
Beautiful Adele. When we recognise and honor the Love that we are we can then let go of the hurt that keeps us from living the glory of who we are, from our inner-heart, where Brotherhood is our natural expression. It is our responsibility to choose to live this way, to walk and claim that this glory is possible to live, now.
Carola it is our responsibilty to choose this way and claim that this glory is possible to live. Brotherhood is our natural expression.
Adele thank you for so clearly sharing the cycle we are caught in. The world you describe at the start is exactly the type of place myself and so many others would like to be the everyday reality. Yet what you also share is how we all have the responsibility for our part in it – our part with the way we are with ourselves that will then inspire another until the time that everyone grows up being shown and knowing what love is. What if I was taught what love is from young? Well I would certainly have had a very different approach to life growing up, however even though that was not the case, as you say, it is now my responsibility to ensure the cycle does not continue.
Adele, the world you depict in the first part of this blog is truly beautiful and the most natural way the world feels to be. And yet, as you also say the world we currently experience is so different from that. We are not individual, and each of us does have the choice to start living more with our brothers in mind (or in our heart, as the case may be). It is simple in that we can start to see ourselves as equals, and that at the very core of each and every one of us is the delicate love of a baby that was born however many years ago. And this is felt equally as the divinity of God, within us all.
Thank you Adele. Starting with a basis of love, and that we are all equal, allows a connection with others based on equality. This feels beautiful.
What if Love was taught to us from Day One? This imaginary world you describe is possible – we just have to live it. The love is already there, inside all of us, we simply need to appreciate it and be our own ‘cheer squad’.
So true, this world we know is not imaginary, it is so possible, in fact, we know it is true, because we have lived it in the past. We know how it could be, and we do have the answers as to how it may one day be our normal world again.
Very powerful Adele. To actually state the fact that, it is via our own holding back of the love and truth we do all know in our hearts, that the world is at where it’s at today… such a deeply honest admission is exactly what we need, in order to commit as honourably as you have, to bringing the truth we know to the world.
How steeped we have been in utter giving up, and how miserably we may live, whilst trying to ‘get through’ our days, in reaction to the lovelessness and corruption that permeates our societies. And then, what absolute joy IS possible, through bringing all of who we are, once again to life – for all that you speak of here is so desperately needed.
And yes, the ‘cheer squad’ is vast, and the work of Universal Medicine indescribably huge in supporting us to truly return to the amazingness we are, that we may ‘let the world have it’ – no holding it back!
Yes Victoria no holding back — all that is known within the heart, supported by the body, and expressed in truth. It is a step by step, moment to moment living, without any short cuts, one person at a time, one heart at a time, forever in consistency and patience, and we will get there.
With you all the way 1heart1love1earth.
Beautiful Adele. So true, the power of one seems so inadequate. Great reminder that we have the universe on our side.
God as our own personal cheer squad – that feels very loving Amelia. Thank you Adele for your grand and inclusive way of presenting how a future world will look when we all start living love.
Adele I love how you say at the end that the Universe is there constantly cheering you on. Knowing God is there, as our own ‘personal’ cheer squad, in the same way that he is there for all absolutely equally, brings so much beauty and joy to life. We are given every opportunity to succeed by making the choice to be loving in every movement that we make. How awesome is that, and how silly to make any other choice not to be that!
There is indeed so much cheering on for us each and every moment Amelia, from everywhere. That what seems impossible becomes simple then, as that is how the heavens roll.
Adele it is so true, the world is not what it could be, I’ve definitely always known this but until recently not accepted my part in it being this way and my responsibility in changing it. Definitely it’s time to make life on this planet about love, and time to start really cherishing each other and what we have here.
Beautiful Adele. Lets choose to be Love. Thank to Serge Benhayon who has shown us how this looks by how he lives.
That is so true Brendon. By healing our own hurts and choosing to look after ourselves, we can then be a true support for others. We have to live the change we seek to make, and walk our talk.
Very Beautiful Adele, Brotherhood is something very beautiful but sometimes so hard to truly be. But as you say to have true brotherhood we only have to let each other in and feel that we all are from the same place.
Thank you Adele for sharing your blog , I too am relearning to let people in and enjoy truly meeting them . What a different world I now live in, feeling God is within everyone. There has been a change of not reacting to people but seeing what they bring as an offering and awareness and opportunity to grow and brotherhood.
Absolutely Beautiful Adele. Absolute and Beautiful.
‘Knowing brotherhood, yet what I lived was separation’. How many of us seek brotherhood, but look in all of the wrong places, like sports clubs, which offer separation in place of the brotherhood that is longed for and sought. But it is brotherhood we seek, because although we live in separation, we do know brotherhood.
Very true Catherine, the true meaning of brotherhood has to be lived to be understood.
Man made definitions of brotherhood are an ideal or belief of what it could be, but not the whole and true picture.
The world as it is today does no make sense; we have created a very cold, competitive and adversarial system where everybody fends for themselves and chases security, at whatever cost, even and especially corruption.
I can feel what brotherhood is in your expression Adele. Humanity working as one for each other with no separation. Beautiful.
Beautiful blog Adele. All inclusive and encompassing.
“Imagine a world where everyone first knows and claims their preciousness; and not only this, but knows that everyone else is equally as precious. If there were any religions, it would only be that of love.”… Adele you already had me at the first sentence and yes I too immediately thought we all know that and miss it so why are we not living it? We were all waiting for someone else to live it first and then some have been blessed to come across Serge Benhayon who didn’t wait and fully lives in a truly loving way – that inspiration is now catching on and many others are starting to live this loving way too.
Very true Nicola, that thing we all miss the most is being our true selves. Every happening in the world is a result of whether we are living and expressing as our true selves or not.
Why are we not living that which we know we are and miss so deeply? Could it be that when we add the missing ingredient of self-love, and only then, can out bodies truly support us in this expression? If true love was taught from day one, the course on self-love will be our first lesson.
I love the way you write Adele, it just flows and makes sense to me. Thank you for sharing.
, the world is set-up for us not to live “lovingly”. But the good news is that there are so many of us who have already started to change that and live “lovingly”. I fully agree with “it is my responsibility to commit to life” that is lived lovingly. Thank you Adele for writing this.
Yes Adele, we can all recognise the language of love, it unites us all equally = true brotherhood. Thank you for the love you share in your article.
Adele what a great question “What if love was taught to me on day one?” I have no doubt that my entire outlook on life would change. However I have the feeling that we don’t have to wait until we passover and re-incarnate but can gradually build a life now based on love.
Adele boy oh boy do I resonate with your beautiful blog. Thank you for putting into words, that which I know to be true.
Thank you Adele for this beauty-full piece of writing – I so enjoyed reading it and feeling the truth in your words. One sentence that stood out for me was “I did not let love in, and that was not true love, because true love is when loving out we equally let love in by acknowledging the divinity in every human being equally.” I wonder why it has taken us so many lives to remember that we ought to truly love ourselves first so that reflection may be shared with all others.
Letting go of the investment towards how the world responds, everywhere we see and feel that connection is not as we know it naturally to be, is an opportunity to go deeper in our intimacy with ourselves and live it fuller with others. What if this is lived in every detail that we encounter in life? How would that set the quality of work we are employed to do? We can never run out of projects, ever, as projects are not what we only do for work, they are our every moment of every day in awareness.
Beautiful Adele, I loved reading ‘Imagine a world where everyone first knows and claims their preciousness’ and all of the examples you gave, particularly ‘There is no differentiation in the love we hold for everyone, whether we have met or have not met.’ This all feels like our natural way of being.
Wow, great point, knowing and claiming our preciousness, what great reflection it would bring to everyone. How beautiful we would all be connecting to our gentle natural flow.
This is a deeply profound and beautiful piece of writing Adele. Thank you for sharing this. I get tingles reading it.
This is so beautiful Adele.
Thank you for showing how simple the choice to be love can be. For me this highlights how much effort I put into not living love previously. Why do we try so hard to be something we are not, lets start appreciating and living what we are!
Adele I love where you have said;
‘Imagine a world where family is beyond that of blood, nationality, community, tribe, sect or pact. Everywhere we travel, we are returning home.’
This is indeed true brotherhood and something that… deep down in all of us ….we know to be true.
Thank you Adele for this beautiful article you have shared.
And it is deeply beautiful to live and experience that in life kathrynfortuna–a confirmation that we do simply know brotherhood, when given the opportunity to express.
Dear Adele,
Yes it is our responsibility to live the love that we are. To live this way is not hard, nor is it overwhelming. It is full of joy and wonder.
Leigh, how true that life has a whole different meaning and purpose when we know that the world is not how we know it could be, because we have not expressed ourselves in full. What responsibility to commit back to truly and fully expressing ourselves, which as you say is something that is wondrous indeed. The power that we are when lived, changes worlds.
If true love was taught from day one, there would be an amazing connection to brotherhood. There would be no wars, no violence, no greed, there would be a deep level of love amongst all and felt by the entire Universe. It would be and feel magical.
I’m sure one day again you will see us living with love, showing what can be and how we can interact. We may be a long way from it but this day will come and it will be amazing.
Yes one day our world will be how we all know it could be and how soon that will come is decided by how we live every moment, the answer is within us all.
Great blog Adele – you write for all of us here – Brotherhood is a Truth and will come about when we, as you are already, begin to take those steps inward. Thank you for your sharing.
The beholding light of love is what makes life true!
Totally agree, the holding light of love is what makes life true!
thats great Adele, you are making life how you want it to be.
What you write about applies to all people so you speak for everyone with your article.
I love this Adele. We all have the responsibility to live the truth of who we are. Only this will support true change in the world so that everyone equally can begin to know who they truly are.
I love this sentence Adele, truly beautiful ‘Yes, I am one person, but I have the whole of the universe with me, backing me up, cheering me on, holding my hand when I need it’.
I love your playful capacity to put together very joyfully how different could the world be if we simply choose to honour ourselves. Beautiful Adele!!
Yes Adele the whole universe is with us, supporting us and loving us.
Amazing words Adele, they say everything. How to be esoteric in one blog. Beautiful.
Dear Adele, thank you. I very much agree, even though the world as a whole as it is today is not reflecting the great love that we all are, each and everyone of us can make the choices that are needed to bring forth this immense love that we all know, and simply live it, and we will eventually live in true brotherhood as you so beautifully describe. We all know this love but most of us have simply forgotten where we have come from.
Thanks Adele, having commitment to life for ourselves and to inspire others so that the world you speak of at the start becomes a reality is a great way forward.
“I had needed humanity to fulfill my expectations and that is not love” Beautifully put. The whole blog is just super clear and powerful. Great Adele.
Adele awesome sharing and extremely powerful… Each point that you made I felt it ripple into my core and grab me. I to know deeply what you express and am very thankful that I now choose to see it and to develop my relationship with myself and others from this true precious love that we are.
The thing that struck me about this blog was that every sentence was complete and super powerful in itself, likewise every paragraph. I could have taken any part of this blog and studied it as a whole, and have been enlightened by it. And in a way this is what Adele is sharing in her writing, how we are all equal and complete, and yet also a vital part of the whole.
This is such a beautiful expression Adele thank you.
I especially love the ending, thank you Adele.
“Would love ever feel alone? Never, as love just is, it is nothing but being that. Would love allow itself to be walked all over in the name of trust and would love be abusive or take abuse? No, as love cannot ever cause harm, either to oneself or to others.”
I like reading this, it’s a non arguable, no nonsense truth. We all know this, it’s undeniable, yet we don’t live it.
If we all looked as the world with us, instead of against us, we may well be in a different place.
Thank you Adele for the beautiful inspiration of your writing and sharing how ‘it is my responsibility to commit to life’. I too am committing to life and discovering the joys of letting love and people in and opening up to the world.
I had this experience “I lived all the lovelessness by reacting to the world. Instead of being me, I focussed on not being understood.” I had in the past kept myself small and resentful with the world and deeply sad about not feeling understood. However I have turned this around and began to commit to the love that I feel within and expressing this with the world. Thank you for sharing.
Adele I feel your powerful words very strongly. I too complained of an unloving world whilst contributing to it’s separation by holding it ransom from my innermost truth. By committing to life I make the powerful choice to stand up and express the love that I am. There is so much pretence in the world that I have been a part of. Through committing to life I’m coming to accept that life is what it is and it is up to us individually to choose otherwise if we see that it is not working as we know it could – in harmony and in brotherhood.
Adele, I love your starting sentence “Imagine a world where everyone first knows and claims their preciousness; and not only this, but knows that everyone else is equally as precious”. How beautiful the flow would be and how much brotherhood be felt, as there would be no individualism and separation, there would be unity and oneness.
A great blog here Adele and much to ponder on for any reader. Yes I agree and without sounding airy fairy or out there how amazing would it be if we all knew what it was to be Equal and live in a world that we knew from day one who we were and nothing could ever change that. I love what you say at the end that you have finally chosen to let the world in and that has allowed you to feel them with you in every day in every moment. I could not agree more that this does work and is deeply rewarding. It stops you feeling needy and that is a great feeling.
Thank you Adele for invitation to join you in letting the world in and in letting my love out to be felt by everyone I meet as well as those I have not met.
What a beautiful blog, how simple it can be to come back to truth and love. We all have it within us to connect to our inner self, as long as we choose too.
Adele, a simple heart felt blog, indeed we are all love and we can choose to live it and in that we change the world.
Thanks Adele I can quite easily imagine the world as you write of at the start of your blog. I always imagine a world where so many people get to the point they can feel whats true, people including Judges, police,teachers lawyers, doctor etc, so many that there is no point anyone lying, cheating, stealing or bearing false witness against another as there is no hiding from the fact everyone can feel what is actually going on.
Hello Adele, what an insight full blog. You bring us back to the truth of how simple it can be to come back our true inner self.
Hi Adele what you have shared here is awesome. This sentence really came home to me. ‘Being human has been my greatest anxiety. In fact, this anxiety has been so strong and overwhelming that for most of my life I had sought to escape life.’ I had not related my anxiety to being human before, but I can feel this, and it now makes total sense why I found it easier to be with animals in my childhood, and would seek them when life didn’t make sense to me.
Adele, this is just beautiful – it really touched me so deeply, thank you.
Beautiful article Adele. The world would be – and will be – so very different one day. “What if love were taught on day one”? A brilliant “what if”. We can start by setting the ball rolling, by being the love that we naturally all are. I’m choosing this now, re-committing to life and to love, knowing that everything I think, say and do has consequences.
Fabulous blog Adele. This felt very healing to read – thank you for sharing this.
Gorgeous article Adele, thank you. “What if brotherhood were taught from day one?” What if indeed? How transformed our world would be. Children so naturally play alongside each other, regardless of colour and creed, until taught otherwise by parents or school. They let in love, something I stopped doing many years ago, but am now choosing to re-commit to for myself and to life. The changes in my everyday life have been palpable and powerful.
This is a great blog, Adele. I love it and “Yes, I am one person, but I have the whole of the universe with me, backing me up, cheering me on, holding my hand when I need it, because now I have chosen to finally let the world in.” is gorgeous and so true. Thank you.
Brilliant blog, awesome final paragraph.
It is so beautiful to watch really young children play together oblivious of colour, creed and abilities…and to know that we can still connect to that young child deep within us should we so choose….and I do.
Hi Adele, this blog gave me so many reminders and nudges to be me fully in life. ‘It is my responsibility to commit to life’, was one and I truly love the line ‘true love is when loving out we equally let love in by acknowledging the divinity in every human being equally.’ It says everything! Thank you.
Adele, I love this blog. I too have been letting people in more and me out more and it is a heart warming experience of togetherness. Thank you.
Thank you Adele, to take family as an example, I have always felt that family really extends far beyond what our blood lines are said to be and that to do so restricts and shuts us off from the world. You present so beautifully on a way to be, that doesn’t need to separate or compartmentalise our lives.
Thank you Adele for sharing with us your process in writing this article and thank you for staying with it….what you have given us is very precious in and of itself. A very beautiful and powerful expression.
To take responsibility for our choices as individuals and then expand into the knowing that we are all one, makes living in absolute service to humanity so simple. Thank you, Adele.
What a beautiful article Adele, inspiring and true. Reading it I felt, and still feel ‘the Universe cheering me on’. It’s like hands behind me, there to hold me up and set me straight when I wobble, a warmth around me that tells me I am love and a light before me that shows the way to an even more extraordinary ordinary.
You talk about the difference between living life from all the hurt and fear, as opposed to being inclusive of the whole Universe, letting the world in and always being guided by love. I love what you have written because it makes it so simple to see the difference, and it once again provides us with the opportunity to choose which one we want in our lives.
What an amazing blog Adele. I have spent lifetimes behind self-built walls to keep my light in, to the point I had forgotten I was light. The walls are down, sometimes the sunglasses go on but I am letting the world in to see my light.
Very inspiring, thank you Adele a lovely article especially “Yes, I am one person, but I have the whole of the universe with me”..
Thank you Adele, this is a beautiful expression of how we all know life can be.
Beautifully said, Adele – ‘We are living in a perception that every one of us is separate and individual, when in-truth, we all know brotherhood.’ No wonder we all experience anxiety on some level because we are not living in true connection with ourselves or with others.
Truly beautiful expression!
What I want to share is, this article would not have been actualized without the gentle yet consistent love from my editor Dragana Brown. Originally I presented a different article–wishing to express what is now here written, but still uncertain about expressing it in full. The entire editing process guided me to re-ponder and eventually completely re-write what is here now. This time the words came without hesitation and flowed effortlessly, and so did my tears.
This has been my immense healing. Thank you Dragana and the editorial team.
Adele
I too have experienced how gentle loving support can allow us to connect with so much more that is inside us just waiting to be shared. I wonder both how much of that effortless flow which you experienced is available for us in all of our lives and how we can support others so gently with consistent love
This is a great sharing Adele and simply high lights how amazing we are as a society when we are just ourselves.
Thank you Adele. I felt the strength in your writing and it was so powerful and strong. I have felt the same thing, and feel how important it is to commit in full as me to life. If I don’t, not only do I get hurt but the whole world misses out on my gorgeous expression of divinity. What a empowering piece of writing!
Wow, Adele, this is something I feel I want to read over and over again . . .
Adele, I received my own healing when I read about the whole universe backing you up! When we connect to that truth, our true nature is revealed and we are part of that true nature, naturally…thank you so much..
There is so much in this world that asks us to run from ourselves…thanks for choosing to stand against that current and reminding me to do the same…
This is true JL, much of this world does not support us to just be ourselves and enjoy this fact. We are pulled from so many different angels in life to do as we are told or to adhere to what is expected of us but nothing asks us to just be. A notion in many peoples eyes that does not exist, however Universal Medicine has revealed that this is not only possible but that we can actually live in a way that allows you to just be with no pressures to pretend or create a false image to the world instead just being yourself is enough.
Very power-full. Thank you Adele for writing this blog and sharing with us.
To ‘finally allow the world in’, I can so resonate with this allowing. It’s like we fight against ourselves all the time then finally we allow the world in and find the love that was there all along.
Thank you.
Ariana
Adele, you are on fire! Your post is beautifully written with the inspiration for people around the world to open up their hearts to love. Thank you for the healing, the joy and the love you express.
I agree Rod this is such an inspiring piece of writing and a great reminder that we can make a difference when we open up our hearts and let people in, thank you Adele for a beautiful and powerful blog.
This is huge, I can feel the expansive Love. This is proof Love is already there, as you say, we just need to live it. Awesome Adele…..I Love it.
Wow, I am going to take more responsibility in committing to life and to love. Thank you.
Thank you for the truth of your blog Adele, it is a joy to read.
Thank you Adele…so much, for this amazingly power-full Blog
Thank You, Adele. This is truly beautiful
