For six years now I have been studying, learning and growing with Universal Medicine. Before Universal Medicine, life did not make sense for me and I had given up on myself, others and life.
Growing up, my mother was protestant and my father belonged to another small church – but neither really cared much about religion.
When it was time for my protestant confirmation, I thought about not doing it – as it was my choice. One of the reasons I did it was because of the big celebration which was held for me… and all the presents and attention I got.
I knew the protestant religion didn’t mean anything to me… when I read the bible or heard stories about Jesus I could not relate to it. When I was sitting in church listening to the priest, I didn’t feel comfortable and it didn’t make sense. Singing songs in the church also made me feel uncomfortable – it was rather artificial.
What I liked in school religion was discussing really how to care about others and about society – and this was something I was interested in. But religion itself for me was an empty word and had no meaning. We hardly went to church; only at Christmas as far as I can remember…
As a child I had a strong sadness, I felt very alone, I was crying a lot and felt that the world was different and that people didn’t understand me; I didn’t know how to deal with it.
Later I blamed my parents strongly for it, but it was not their fault. I now see that this is the way I had chosen to Iive for so many lifetimes. I realise how much I had given up on who I truly am, and the knowing in my heart.
When I was in my mid 20’s, I decided that there is no God.
Life didn’t make sense. I didn’t live in harmony and I only saw misery around me.
When I was 30, an illness made me stop and look for a different way to live.
Half a year later I met my beautiful partner and experienced a connection I had not felt before.
We both went to England to participate at a workshop held by Serge Benhayon.
Then everything started to slowly change.
The way Serge lived and what he was expressing made sense: he taught us that everything is energy.
…And life began to make sense again.
I agreed and felt that he spoke and lived truth.
The challenge was to constantly let go of all the things that didn’t support being truly me, and to start to accept and allow myself to feel my amazing essence – that there is love and joy in my heart. In expressing it I can expand and share this with others.
It took years to let Serge’s message in – that we are all love and that it is about being me. So simple.
I began to understand that we are not really separate but one: that’s why brotherhood and harmony with everybody is necessary. And that we are here on earth to reclaim that we are originally divine and loving by nature… then to reflect that to others who have forgotten or, are strongly denying it.
I know now that true religion is in me. True Religion is to be in connection with my divine essence: the connection I have to myself.
All I have to do is become still and give myself the permission to feel me; my Soul and God reveals the depth of love that I am
I am a Son of God. Divine and amazing in essence – we all equally are. And my purpose is to be a reflection of love to other people.
Today I could feel the pain of having not reflected my truth to other people: this hurts deeply in my body.
I can feel how strongly I have held my truth and true expression back to avoid reactions or to not rock the boat. I’ve not allowed myself to be seen and heard as joyful and loving. This was deeply ingrained in me, but now it feels time to speak and live the truth.
I have lived denying my own power, inner-knowing and amazing beauty. Now I am beginning to feel how awesome and beautiful I am.
So, welcome Janina – Son of God.
I am a Son of God and Universal Medicine has reminded me of that fact: and, that we are all equal Sons of God, all-knowing in our divine essence.

The Truth about Universal Medicine 
I find it interesting how it is possible to belong to a church but not really care for religion in general.
We make this notion of being a son of God such a big deal, we mystify it and make it look glamorous when the truth of the matter is that every single person on this planet is a son of God – the king, the homeless and the drug dealer. We are all sons of God, it’s up to us to let our godliness come through and shine a light on this miserable world of ours.
The more that we claim back our bodies the easier it is to claim that we are Sons of God.
Holding back our truth for fear of upsetting someone is a game that many of us like to play. It is a game of not wanting to be responsible for the difference that we make in life.
To understand and embrace true religion and what divinity means in very practical terms is only veiled by anything we have taken on to not live responsibly in the inevitable interconnectedness with the whole, hence the need to discard what is not religious in the true meaning of the word, i.e. everything that separates us from knowing ourselves to be the equal sons of God.
“Before Universal Medicine, life did not make sense for me and I had given up on myself, others and life.” These words I could have written, as could have many others I know who have attended Universal Medicine events since they first began to be presented by Serge Benhayon 19 years ago. It always seemed I was missing many pieces of the puzzle I called life and I often suspected that the life I was living was a lesser version of what was possible. But it wasn’t until I met Serge and began to listen to what he was sharing that I realised what I had felt was true, as finally here was someone making sense of life and that there was so much more to it than what the majority of the world was telling me there was.
What I’m finding so incredible is the many layers of connection back to God. Every layer expands me to a new layer and depth of love. The more I connect back to God the more I wonder how I ever stepped so far away from such divine love.
It occurs to me that there are two realities in life we can live by, one that confirms the fact of who we truly are and one which does not and only confirms instead how small and hurt-full the world can be. Shows that even though hurt is real, it is not part of the truth of who we are.
If we were reflected and shown the true meaning of religion as we grow up, that is to be at one with our Soul, God, the universe and all held within it including each other, our resistance would be non-existent, as we would realise that being the Son of God is in fact our innate way of being.
“All I have to do is become still and give myself the permission to feel me; my Soul and God reveals the depth of love that I am” it is so simple, but not so easy at times as we have piled so much over our divine essence that is not us, but as we connect the truth of who we are comes forth to be lived expressed and enjoyed.
The only way to stop a Son of God? Tell them that they’re not and give them a million distractions to prove the lie. But no matter how many falsehoods are created there will still come a time when each Son will realise they are divine. Once we do let’s not entertain it like a high idea but embrace it for real as you do here Janina.
Universal Medicine has been unwavering in presenting the Ageless Wisdom which is constantly reminding us that we are equal Son of Gods. Something I had known but not sure how to access or appreciate and claim. Today that is a different story thanks to Universal Medicine. Over the years I have re-connected to my inner essence, my soul and here it is without question that I resinate the qualities of God as I was created by him. Living this in my everyday is one I am still claiming and my whole body comes alive when I express and eminate the All of who I Am.
The everyday quality of what Serge presents brings my relationship with God to life in the here and now, relevant to what is happening in the world right now. It feels alive and full of love – a blessing for us all after a long search for something that makes sense of the world, of God and our place in it.
‘One of the reasons I did it was because of the big celebration which was held for me… and all the presents and attention I got.’ This feels like a carrot on a stick because if there are any children who do not want to be confirmed what better way to have them change their mind than a party just for them. It falls beautifully into that part of us that craves recognition.
The false robes and garlands we aspire to take us away from God. We are already everything we ever need – just in our birthday suit 🙂 thank you Janina.
‘And life began to make sense again’ is the point I am at with my life.
True religion is within us all but are we willing to be still and feel where we are at in our lives. I heard someone at a meeting share they didn’t like meditation as they would rather prefer to go the gym to sweat and workout. How many people are caught in the busyness of it all and all it takes is to give yourself permission and be still and its all there – if we allow it.
Whenever we have conditions we cut the cord to the deep knowing in us that we are enough. ‘If this person behaves this way, if I have a good day’ – this endless way of holding the world to ransom is just an extremely sad substitute for living life connected to the facts – that we are all sons of God here. Knowing this there is nothing I need, nothing to fix, just love to live and the truth to express. Thank you Janina for reminding me of this natural state I was born to enjoy.
“…And life began to make sense again” through the presentations of Universal Medicine of the Ageless Wisdom everything that I have felt and knew but didn’t recognise that I knew just makes sense.
Thank you for your inspirational blog Janina. What you share here is something I relate to in as much as I too have not always stepped up and shared what I know is the truth as often as I could have!
In us all lives a light Divine, as pure and pristine as the day we were born. Our task here on Earth is simply to not give focus to what is not of this light and by virtue of this movement realign ourselves with the absolute truth of who we are, where we come from and what we are here to do. In this way we dissolve the shadows that have come to obscure the truth from our eyes and know once more that the depth of love we feel in our hearts is the one and same love that beats within us all. Thus the true Son rises.
Yes claiming who we truly are and being able to see and feel the forces that are around the ensure that we don’t feel and claim that can be equally as interesting. I know for me it is a continuing unfolding, claiming I am the Son of God, that I have and hold all the the universe, its wonderment and love right inside of me……that feels very amazing to feel.
Ha; Welcome back Janina to the kingdom of God. A true celebration awaits every moment of every day when you live that amazing essence within. Like you say; “The challenge was to constantly let go of all the things that didn’t support being truly me, and to start to accept and allow myself to feel my amazing essence – that there is love and joy in my heart.” – to live every day ..
‘…we are all love and that it is about being me…’ You’re right Janina, it doesn’t get any simpler than that. Learning how to live that is another matter – we so love complication! Thank goodness we have the gift of time, and the grace that comes through dedication to purpose.
The Ancient Wisdom as re-presented by Serge Benhayon makes sense and answers all our questions, without fail.
It amazing to see what we have all done and not done under the banner of religion. I know growing up religion didn’t make sense and I very much related it to going to church and classes at school. If you asked me what religion was I would have said a similar thing, a bible, Jesus, God, the church etc but I wouldn’t have been able to tell you what it was for me, only about the things I did around it. Now with the awareness gained from Universal Medicine I can see more of the personal relationship we naturally have with religion and now meaning much much more then something we do.
Great point Elizabeth, holding back doesn’t serve anyone, to live and know we are the Sons of God confirms to others this amazing truth.
Beautiful to read Janina of your journey from giving up to reclaiming yourself as a Son of God, Universal Medicine is a true blessing to humanity for always presenting and reflecting this truth.
It’s very honest to say that the only reason you went along with a religion is for the presents and the attention – I can only imagine your realisation when this came to you. Thank you for writing ❤
It’s one thing to hear words, another to make them your own, live them and make them part of life. Yes many of us agree, that we are equally beautiful, sweet and kind, but what does it look like to live knowing this? It takes time to discard the false beliefs and gently redirect our energy. But how beautiful life can be when we cease this constant struggling to deny our sacredness. Thank you Janina for the inspiration you share here to embrace and know and test our divinity – we are the real deal.
‘So, welcome Janina – Son of God’ – Janina, this feels beautiful, claiming yourself as a Son of God. The majority of the time we all forget this and this then means that we are not living from who we truly are. Today I will remind myself of this regularly and allow stop moments to honour this truth. Thank you for the reminder.
The joy of giving up denying who we truly are!
One by one, we all eventually come back to this – simply to be who we truly are, to be home.
We are all one, we are all connected, even if it cannot be physically seen, it is an energetic fact and if this is true then every decision we make, effects every person, even if we cannot prove that on a physical level yet. We all know that when someone walks in the room angry, we feel it, this is a simple example of what goes on, on a global scale.
Universal Medicine makes sense and delivers to our door an invitation to claim who we truly are and discard the weight society is attempting to clothe us in.
This is so true Christine, and once we accept the invitation life opens up beyond anything that we could have hoped or wished for, and not only for ourselves but for everyone.
So inspiring to read your experience of feeling the pain of lifetimes of knowing you had denied who you are to accepting you are a Son of God. That pain shows it is not worth denying our divinity, our divinity is too great to snub out. I know I baulk at feeling it but the choice is to delay being a Son of God and that hurts in the fact of that denial and in the many ways I try to numb out the tension this denial creates in my body that just wants to let go and surrender to being all of me!
“I am a Son of God and Universal Medicine has reminded me of that fact: and, that we are all equal Sons of God, all-knowing in our divine essence.” And to my surprise it is all felt through our body, it is not airy fairy but simply feeling the body, being present in all we do and honour what the body is communicating. To start to be honest and go from there to what is true in every way.
Beautiful Janina, I love reading a good claiming of one who has walked back to the arms of God.
The Way of The Livingness is to me the true religion I always knew was possible in my heart. It is unafraid to explore any question, absolutely committed to truth and fully transparent in its expression. It feels like a homecoming to me – an aha moment if ever there was one.
True religion is in essence very simple in my experience and so simple that it can be confronting to see how complicated we have made our lives… But as long as we can drop any pride or self-judgement on anything we’ve been choosing to hold onto or create that was unnecessary and harming it is much easier to let it go and allow ourselves to bring more of who we truly are to life.
Divine Beingness is equally available to every one of us and it feels so true of an absolute and loving God that he beholds us all in equalness, with no favouritism, or division. Separation is not from God, so we must it seems understand where it does come from and expose it as the lie it is.
I’m sitting on the tube in London looking at the people around me and feeling the beautiful fact that we are all sons of God and that each and every one of us carry this divine fire within us – in effect we are all equal parts of God and together we make up the whole.
When we make life about energy first, we can see the ways we have been giving our power away to that which is not from truth keeping us trapped in the illusion that we are individuals and separate to the divinity of God.
For me this religion just makes sense- it starts with the fact that we are love and that it is about living this and knowing that all are equally this. It takes out the ranking and hierarchy that exists in religion and comes back to a knowing that we are all a part of and all connected to God.
Gorgeous Janina, I love hearing people’s stories about finding true religion… it is testimony to me that we are all the same, and that ultimately we all know the truth. It just has to come from the body registering it so, and not from the meeting of ideals and beliefs we have picked up along the way.
When you read about people who talk about God, divinity and ‘the meaning of life’ the insights they have usually seem somewhat momentary, like a breif sunshine ray in an otherwise cloudy sky. I get a totally different sense from your words here Janina – you show beyond doubt that being a Son of God means knowing that fact in every moment, in the supermarket, at work, at the evening show, it’s a constant deepening of what we truly know, not a brief interlude to respite the struggles of life.
Life does begin to make sense when we realise we are actually innately the love that we have been searching high and low for outside of ourselves.
A beautiful sharing of your journey to reclaiming yourself as a Son of God. Thank you Janina.
Beautiful Janina, this message, that we are all Sons of God, is one we can hear again and again, and get in a new way each time. It’s sad you could say, that this is ever a revelation to us, but to come back to this beautiful truth is for me, like finding a flowing stream and flower in the middle of the desert. This truth of who we all are replenishes and nourishes and provides the resources for me to proceed. Thank God for sons like you who are here to remind me.
Janina it was lovely to come back and read this blog “I know now that true religion is in me. True Religion is to be in connection with my divine essence: the connection I have to myself.
All I have to do is become still and give myself the permission to feel me; my Soul and God reveals the depth of love that I am. ” This is so beautiful and so confirming that we are part of the all, Universal divinity.
The greatest act of abuse here on planet Earth is for us humans to not live true to the love that we are. From this point all subsequent horrors, be they violence, illness or misery, shortly follow.
At some point in my life I too decided there was no God. The decision was made in reaction to the religion I saw around me. Shutting myself off in that way was an interesting experience. In truth we can never shut off from God because we are sons of God but we can ignore our connection. And a life without connection to God feels rather empty.
I remember when I first started the work and I would ask Serge a question the answer was always ‘Just be love’ or ‘be the love that you are’ eventually I got it, when we are the love that we are, it allows another to feel the love that they are too, we are all innately love, yet we allow many things to get in the way until we are beautifully reminded that we are all about love.
I agree that true religion is inside of me not outside of me as you have proposed Janina. It is my relationship with my soul and with everything and everyone.
I love the simplicity that Serge Benhayon presents religion can truly be – where it is something that we can live within us in every moment and thereby also in all that we do and how that connection within that we can choose to have with God is sacred and not a set of rites or a certain building etc.
Often we blame life and those around us for how we are, and in fact it takes real honesty and courage as you show here Janina to come to understand that we are where we are due to what we have chosen and often we give up on ourselves and the deep love we know we are and can express. I understand very well what you share here, as I too have observed growing up that life did not make sense and people said one thing and did another, it was all about ticking boxes and looking good, and so I gave up. Eventually I got to a point where l began to question again (in truth I’d just suppressed this part of me) and this led me to Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. At first I was very challenged by what was presented as I could feel and see that in fact my life was due to my own choices and that we are so much more than we allow (and I had not allowed that I was a Son of God, or that I was even Divine), yet slowly I began to embrace that life matters, that I matter and that each choice I make has an impact beyond what I often know and can directly understand; that there is a grace and a love we all come from which we can access at any time, and which we never loose (an inner essence), ready and waiting to be expressed and so I’m learning to express this each and every day, slowly, steadily and surely and as I do I can know and feel more of the fact I am Divine and that I’m not alone, I never was, I’m part of a vast Universe that is God.
Everyday is a new opportunity, every moment a new chance, to know that the picture we usually have of ourselves and others is just a small section of the truth. If we are not aware of our divinty, we get trapped into being smaller and smaller and smaller throughout the day. What a difference to breathing, moving and speaking knowing that we are all equal sons of God here. Thank you Janina for this reminder of who we are and why we are here.
‘I know now that true religion is in me. True Religion is to be in connection with my divine essence: the connection I have to myself.’ Beautifully said Janina, choosing to live as a Son of God changes everything, there is a deep connection felt with self and others that enriches all our relationships and allows life to flow with simplicity and joy.
Most of us react to life in one way or another as life is quite a shock when there is no understanding about how energy plays out. We can choose to reconnect to the essence of Divinity that is within each and every one of us and identify our self as this rather than thinking we are our hurts, behaviours and emotions. Looking at the world from a connection to our self is a whole other story as we can then understand why we and others often act in harmful or disruptive ways. It is when we are not our selves that the emotional energy of the world has a heyday with us and we do and say things that we would never dream of when we are with our self. This always comes back to energy. We have to continually be asking ourselves what energy we are in? Are we in our hearts feeling what is next with our mind and body working as one unit or are in our heads letting whatever thoughts that happen upon us rule the day?
Knowing and living our essence as true sons of God, changes everything and supports us to embrace all that life offers us. No longer fearful, or anxious, or lonely, but connected to our deepest self we connect to all others.
Many of us as children have a true sense of what God is from within, yet with the lack of confirmation we lose connection to this sense, which is in fact our truth. This was my experience and as such I gave up exploring this sense as I could not see anyone anywhere living this way. The irony is that from this point of giving up, which was more like over-riding what I sensed, I began to search for that which I had given up on in the world outside of myself. No joy was found here as the restlessness that came from of overriding what I sensed, did not rest. Through the presentations of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I re-discovered that the sense I had as a child was in fact true. That not only does my relationship with God come from within, but also that I am a Son of God and Divinity is my natural way of being through which I am always at one with God.
I can very much relate to looking around me and not seeing anyone living the true sense of God I felt inside me. I became like everyone else I could see, I chased all the substitutes that were on offer but knew none would quell this knowing inside that I wanted a relationship with God. So it’s interesting now that I can have a relationship with God but I still hold investments in the substitutes I invested in and don’t choose that relationship 24/7. Time to be super honest and acknowledge all substitutes cannot deliver harmony, truth, love, stillness or joy.
“As a child I had a strong sadness, I felt very alone, . . ” We are alone when we don’t have a true connection to ourselves and this is a very good reason to be sad. Once we connect to our essence we can never be alone again as we have The Kingdom of God within.
We are simply divine Sons of God, and when we connect to our essence we know in our body this to be a fact. I, like you and many others, when I first heard Serge speak I knew I had at last come home, the searching was over.
I can’t say I had completely given up as there was always a glimmer of hope, a knowing inside me that there was a lot more to life than I was living. Similar to your experience, the first moment I heard Serge Benhayon speak it felt like a spark igniting the neglected home fire.
It is easy to read words about God and entertain them in your mind, but when you discover what Serge Benhayon presents is actually true in your body – wow then you can see how crazy our lives can be. We can end up living for so long looking up on mountains high, or into a guru’s eyes when the whole time divinity is waiting inside us. Thank you Janina, for sharing how this process happened for you.
“It took years to let Serge’s message in – that we are all love and that it is about being me. So simple”… this is so true Janina, such simple teachings and profound once we are able to let them in and live them.
I’ve done things I haven’t wanted to for presents and to fit in before too! But ultimately nothing feels as good as standing by what you know is true, and being true to who you are.
So much wisdom comes when the feeling of our divine connection as a Son of God is lived as is presented by The Way of The Livingness. Thank God for Universal Medicine and all it has presented over the years, which has allowed my life to flourish.
Your appreciation for Serge and UM is out of this world Greg, more of us should get inspired by you!
We are never apart, so we inspire each other with every bit of decency and respect we share, so as Sons of God we are all inspiring!!
Being a son of God brings us together as one and Universal Medicine inspired me to see just how simply glorious that is. Living from our connection of the heart connects us in amazing ways that I never saw possible, it is very, very beautiful. Thank you Janina.
Like a sneaky card trick, it seems the true meaning for many things in our lives have been switched out and substituted for something sad that isn’t true. What we have come to think of as religion, or of God, are bad photocopies and perversions, bastardised versions designed to distract and misrepresent. As your beautiful testament shows Janina, it is us who helps them continue to grow. When we see through them we stop them in their tracks and instead can connect to the simple reality that has always been waiting underneath. Yes, I am a Son of God too, and it is so beautiful to live this truth knowing I am connected in every way to you.
“I am a Son of God and Universal Medicine has reminded me of that fact: and, that we are all equal Sons of God, all-knowing in our divine essence.” A beautiful summary Janina, thankyou.
Yes Janina it is as simple as allowing me to be me and making life about love, connection and relationships.
And, you do Kathleen!
I am, that, I am, that, I am.
Loved reading this Janina, and I totally agree with you here – that Universal Medicine has reminded us all that we are all sons of God and it is our innate nature to live harmoniously in true connection with the all.
Thank you Janina. I absolutely love what you share. I had heard about concepts like ‘oneness’ and ‘loving yourself’ before I met Serge Benhayon but I had absolutely no idea how to incorporate these things into the way I lived. With the support of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon I now have an understanding that loving myself means honouring my body, eating food that supports me and getting sleep at times that leave me feeling vital. There is no room for drugs, alcohol or cigarettes in a body that loves itself. Oneness is no longer a throwaway line but an understanding that we are all equal and we are all in this together, I cannot harm another without first harming myself and the same law applies to us all. When we begin to live what is true we get to feel how beautiful true religion is.
I love your line… “So, welcome Janina – Son of God”. Simple, claimed and what true religion means… to re-connect (with your essence).
“Divine and amazing in essence – we all equally are.” So true Janina, we may forget this truth at times, but it does not change the fact of it. Love is a living religion, untainted by the hypocrisy of much of what is referred to as religion.
There is a growing movement in society towards atheism, which is fine if that is your sincere belief. Freedom of religion is our natural born right. However, there are equally a lot of people who have become agnostic or atheist not because it is naturally their belief but because they have been burnt by the hypocrisy of mainstream religion and its dogmatic tenets that often make no sense of life but rather make the ways of life and God to simply be a mystery. What Serge Benhayon has inspired in many is to be able to claim once again their religious relationship with life and to deal with their reaction to the word religion so that they are again free to choose or reject religion based on their own ponderings.
Dear Janina,
This sentence was also my feelings as a child. Infact for a long time I thought I must have been adopted as I just didn’t seem to fit in my family, but I wasn’t. “As a child I had a strong sadness, I felt very alone, I was crying a lot and felt that the world was different and that people didn’t understand me; I didn’t know how to deal with it.”
Over time I became hard to not feel the sadness. It is pure joy to now feel again the tender loving essence that is inside of me and to again live the truth of this in my life, a truth that grows, expands and deepens every day.
I was raised in one of the major religions also, and I also felt a sadness of how empty it felt and how it was a “do as I say and not as I do” approach to religion. I looked around at other religions too, nothing felt uniting at all. It’s interesting that we base our understandings of God and religion on how we see religion is in the world currently, but we don’t ask the question. How true is religion as we see it or is there more to the religion we do see? What I love about Serge Benhayon’s presentations is that he has asked these deeper questions, so that we can take these away and ponder on them for ourselves. There is much to work through here because of all the things that we have done to each other in the name of religion. But we are worth the work as a humanity.
Absolutely Jennifer, this understanding of religion moves off the book page and into each steady step we take every day. It flows into the way we touch others, into the words we say and the movements we make. This religion reverberates and expands as we consider that everything we do is a return to a quality of Love.
“…And life began to make sense again.” I agree Janina, Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine presents the truth and my whole body knows truth when it hears it. So, welcome Janina – and all of us –Sons of God.
“I am a Son of God and Universal Medicine has reminded me of that fact: and, that we are all equal Sons of God, all-knowing in our divine essence”. It is so beautiful Janina that you have claimed and truly appreciate that you are the son of God; an inspiration for us all to claim that we are sons of God, equally, thank you.
Accepting that we are Sons of God changes life as we know it, as this brings a whole new level of responsibility. We can no longer simply indulge in human life denying who we truly are. We can no longer hide in our human hurts and the protections they have given birth to. Knowing and accepting this allows us to step out of our comfort and step once again into the light, and reflect this Truth to others so that they may see that they are the same – an equal brother and a Son of God. Beautiful Janina, thank you.
I love that in the stillness you give yourself permission to feel in depth and have revealed to you the truth of God and the truth of who you are…. divinely intertwined.
‘It took years to let Serge’s message in – that we are all love and that it is about being me. So simple.’ I can really relate. I feel this is still knowledge to a degree, though I feel its truth there is a depth of awareness and embodying that is always calling me to go deeper – very wonderful.
Hi Janina, very lovingly shared, thank you.
What an incredible game, that we live in a world where we are all deeply connected, where we breathe the same breath, from the same divine source and yet normally walk about thinking ourselves to be lonely. How crazy that we get to think we are cut-off, different, separate and on our own in this place. Thank God (!) for those like you Janina who have started to see through this massive trick and have let the false walls of separation come down.
People say don’t live with your head in the clouds. I say fair enough, but do not tell me that I need to ignore what I know is there in order to get on with life on my doorstep. For to do so is to diminish life to an experience of mere physicality, and for me that is a tragedy to great to consider.
Thank you Janina, I loved reading your article and can relate to your words in my own life,”I have lived denying my own power, inner-knowing and amazing beauty. Now I am beginning to feel how awesome and beautiful I am. All I have to do is become still and give myself the permission to feel me; my Soul and God reveals the depth of love that I am”
What a great claiming of yourself Janina! Yes It is great to remember that before any thing else . . . “I am a Son of God and Universal Medicine has reminded me of that fact: and, that we are all equal Sons of God, all-knowing in our divine essence.” Thank you with love Kathleen
Janina I can so relate to your blog, and I love the line…
“I have lived denying my own power, inner-knowing and amazing beauty. Now I am beginning to feel how awesome and beautiful I am” ~ I am beginning to feel this too and all thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine to whom I shall be eternally grateful.
I had a similar experience – I got ‘confirmed’ simply because others were doing it and there were some presents at the end. There was no relationship to God. It was a strange experience, and nothing like the magical feeling I have today of an everyday relationship with something magical that has very much come about through the midwifery of Universal Medicine.
It is a poignant thought to consider that when we give up on ourselves we are letting go of the connection we have with divinity.
It is a great tragedy that so many people have been turned off by the word religion because of what has been carried out in its name.
I relate to so much of what you share Janina. As a child I went to church with my family, but the pomp and proclamations felt empty. I have always loved ritual but again, the rituals during the services I attended we robotic, without connection. It felt to me that we were all just going through the motions to get our reward of forgiveness and redemption at the end. As soon as I was given the choice I stopped attending. The pull the God continued however but took me into searching – spiritualism, paganism, buddhism……..until one day I went to a workshop presented by Serge Benhayon. I stopped. Serge presented that there is no need to search, as everything we are searching for is inside. If we simply stop, reconnect to our bodies and feel, we will find our true essence. Learning to live and express from this is to live a religious life, to be with God. The Way of the Livingness is my religion.
Yes Lucy The Way of the Livingness is our religion.
“I have lived denying my own power, inner-knowing and amazing beauty. Now I am beginning to feel how awesome and beautiful I am.”
Amen Janina, l am with you all the way!
“The challenge was to constantly let go of all the things that didn’t support being truly me, and to start to accept and allow myself to feel my amazing essence – that there is love and joy in my heart. In expressing it I can expand and share this with others.” This has been a slow process for me but every step has been worth it and l wouldn’t change it for the world.
‘ I realise how much I had given up on who I truly am, and the knowing in my heart.’ I have realised this myself and it is a realisation that comes back every time because of the deep impact is has on the way I live, an impact not only on myself but all others around me, there are layers to go through and to feel the consequences of this given up on myself and humanity but always in the light that I know we are Sons of God.
‘I know now that true religion is in me. True Religion is to be in connection with my divine essence: the connection I have to myself’ and from this connection we connect equally to all others to share the joy of our own unique essence that is flavored by both our many many life experiences and innate wisdom.
I still feel resistant to say the word religion out loud because I don’t want to offend those who reject the word or invite those to argue the true meaning of the word. Everyone has a relationship with religion, whether it’s good, bad or non-existent by choice. The word religion has been shaped and moulded over and over again to mean what ever people want it to mean. Janina, you have expressed what I now know true religion to be, a connect within and living with this connection in each moment.
What a game it is to be walking around as if we are a limited creature divorced from all others. How beautiful the truth truly is, that we are all equally from this awesomeness and connected too. So no matter how life looks, or the things that seem to be real the fact is we know God in this intimate way. Thank you Janina.
Beautiful to feel you claiming yourself as a Son of God Janina and being a true reflection to others who have yet to discover this. I always felt the falseness of religion but gave up on life rather than speak up about it and it is only since being introduced to the teachings of the Way of the Livingness that I have awoken to the awesome fact that I am equally a Son of God and to truly claim and live it has not only re-engaged me with life but given me a true purpose and deep joy.
Like a soap opera that plays in our heads, it’s time we realised these restrictive religious beliefs are just a narrow slice of what’s real and true, a dramatic opera designed to steal from us the true magnificence of the Universe’s show. It’s time we put the false program down and stopped following the script we have been given and walked out into the auditorium of life, knowing we have nothing to justify or apologise for and everything to cherish and celebrate. For this as you show Janina, is God’s way.
Thank you Janina, for beautiful sharing and reminder that we” all “are the sons of God
‘ True Religion is to be in connection with my divine essence: the connection I have to myself.’ – A beautiful reminder Janina and to know and live this inspires and supports others to also claim this truth and feel the immense joy this can bring to our lives and all relationships.
Everything is there for us once we start to look within and open ourselves to the divine communication.
Thank you for sharing this Janina. A beautiful reminder of our divinity.
Yes Leigh we cannot remind ourselves enough of our origin=our divinity in a world which is living exactly the opposite.
Janina, I can really relate to the feeling of coming home to God as being part of me- not separate or out there as I had been previously led to believe. My connection to my soul or my inner essence has allowed me to feel a deeper self love, and I am able to be more deeply connected to others around me. This is the foundation of brotherhood.
I agree Anne and Janina. When we understand ‘religion’ in these terms the whole concept is no longer one of judgement, fear and guilt. As we learn to appreciate and deepen our self love, it becomes so natural to include and care for the rest of humanity ie choose brotherhood over individualism.
Beautiful said Anne.
In you re-claiming your Divinity I am re-inspired to do the same. It is power-full to hear your words Janina. When said from Love our words are a healing for everyone. Thank you
I had a problem with the word ‘religion’ for quite a while having grown up in a family with strong religious beliefs which I no longer shared. The more I have allowed the defences to come down, the more I am understanding ‘religion’ as Serge Benhayon has talked about it and am growing to constantly appreciate its true meaning more and more. So thank you Janina for sharing as I found reading your blog very supportive.
This is great Janina, and so relatable, it is all about accepting and allowing ourself to be the amazing human beings we are. And see that we are Sons of God, and that everyone deserves to hear our expression, so they are reminded of being a Son of God.
Yes Benkt it is our job to bring heaven on earth in everything we are and do.
Knowing I am a son of God was a great revelation and changed my life, but living as a son of God has not been so easy and has taken me a long time to understand what this means. I know when I am connected to my Soul I am able to feel God in everything, in nature, in my walk, in the details of life, there is a joy that is felt deep within. Thank you Janina, I enjoyed reading your blog this morning it was very confirming.
“ I know when I am connected to my Soul I am able to feel God in everything, in nature, in my walk, in the details of life, there is a joy that is felt deep within.“ This is true when we connected to the divine energy everything feels simple,complete and joyful like you describe Alison. As soon as it becomes complicated we know we have lost our connection.
We can use many tools to ‘make life better’ but ultimately still live in a place where we think or believe that the world at its core is difficult, hard and a cold place to be. What I see today is that this is simply not true, and how the Love we have longed for is here, is possible, is available for all – when we live as a Son of God as you do. God bless you Janina.
Thank you Janina, a beautiful blog about reclaiming your inner essence, welcome son of God.
That ‘we are here on earth to reclaim that we are originally divine and loving by nature… then to reflect that to others who have forgotten or, are strongly denying it’ is a great reminder for us all. Beautiful sharing Janina.
We are all Son of Gods and divine and love by nature. I am becoming more honest where there are still old habits of giving up which I have not looked at in my life, and start to express myself in a new way which is not accepting living less and living loveless- with the support of a Detox Chakra Puncture Programm with an Amazing Esoteric Practitioner.
Today in an Esoteric Yoga Class I was reminded to become still is to become connected to God. This is something the world is running away from as doing and activity is so dominant. If we allow to feel still and connect to our body we can feeling the amazingness, beauty and power we are, which waits to be lived and shared with the world to remind others that the Kingdom of God resides with in each of us.
I love this further elaboration Janina and can add, taking stillness into movement is expanding the love of God in this world. In this way we can simply and humbly share God’s light with all and to our mother Earth and all its divinity.
Yes indeed welcome Janina; son of God; a beautiful expression of transformation, self-love and responsibility.Very inspiring.
Every time I return to read your words Janina, I am reinspired and remember that each and every one of us is a Son of God and carry with us this divine beauty just waiting for us to connect to.
Beautiful Joseph.
This connection with God I have easily now connecting with nature. When I see groups of birds fly in harmony and in a certain constellation with another I can feel that there is a bigger plan and divine magic and beauty.
It is brilliant after all the twists and turns of life, that we come to see there is a one unified truth that we felt and longed for all along. Your story illustrates Janina, how Religions as we have known them keep us so divided, when there is no barrier between us all, at all. It’s awesome to hear you say it, you are indeed a beautiful son of God.
We are all naturally religious as we are all Son of Gods it is simply a process of allowing and deepen this connection which was always there patiently waiting for us. And it is about deepening this connection to God and the Masters and to make steady and unwavering.
And so are you Joseph “a beautiful son of God”!
More and more I feel and am shown that and how I have held back my truth and true expression, just as you talk about in your blog Janina, allowing myself to be a part of creation instead of following my knowing what life is truly about, instead of living my power and reflecting all that I am to my fellow brothers. It feels I have lived in a grey world instead of seeing the colours and the beauty of us all together. It is my responsibility to step out of this comfortable position of being silent and use every opportunity to express the truth and the love that I am. This is the purpose of (my) life.
Thank you for this blog Janina and the truth that we are all equally the Sons of God and that we have been fed a lie by organised religion that Jesus was his only son and that he died for our sins. This is a gross injustice but we chose to believe it even though we knew on some level that it was untrue. It’s beautiful that you’ve claimed yourself back as the Son of God that you are.
I love how you say it has been like peeling an artichoke all the way to the tender heart that has always been there. It so is like that. Once you have attended a workshop with Serge Benhayon, and experienced the Ageless Wisdom there is no turning away from the fact that we are all the Sons of God, equally so.
I agree Elizabeth, It took me many years to open myself and to drop past experiences. To open myself to a true way of religion “The Way of the Livingness” brought back to us by Serge Benhayon.
I can relate to so much of what you have written here Janina and what clearly stands out for me is how claimed you are. It took me many years to take on board what Serge Benhayon was presenting, especially that we are all love, and that we know love – I struggled with this and felt that it was reserved for a special few. I can feel that the way I felt back then has changed beyond recognition and that I no longer have those types of thoughts and reading this has brought it home to me how powerful it is to claim who we are in Truth. Thank you.
Beautiful Julie, in claiming who we are we are claiming how powerful we are.
Beautifully said katechorley, it is a gift from Heaven.
Janina I loved this welcoming home blog for you. ‘I know now that true religion is in me. True Religion is to be in connection with my divine essence: the connection I have to myself’. Beautifully said, now this is a true Religion.
Growing up in a life where to be independent is celebrated and being different congratulated, causes a block to the truth that we are all love and that we are all connected. Once we open to this then life becomes simple – all comparison, competition, envy, jealousy drops away. Thank you Matthew for sharing your challenges along the way.
“I know now that true religion is in me. True Religion is to be in connection with my divine essence: the connection I have to myself.” Through the stillness and expanse of our inner most hearts we feel the interconnectedness and oneness of all life, we know God, true love and true religion. And we know how grand and amazing we truly are.
It’s time for us to claim that we are bigger than we ever allowed ourselves to express. We have kept ourselves too small for too long. It’s time to be the love that we are.
Yes Amanda we are so much bigger than we can imagine…and it is time now to play big and be the love that we are!
When I was young I could feel the beauty of God, I would skip and just feel gorgeous. Then it began to change, something didn’t feel right, so I backed away and wanted very little to do with it. I did however still feel the knowing of something and knew there was another way. I was introduced to the Ageless Wisdom and the lights came back on, or better said the lights were always there, they were just a little dim.
Thank you Matthew, reading your comment i looked back at my childhood and yes as a young child i had a lot of tenderness and joy. And seeing me in videos when i was skipping along on the beach there was joy being expressed through movement. Beautiful to remember that. That this is our natural way. Choosing today to reconnect and expressing in a tender and joyful way. Bringing our divine essence on earth.
Thank you Janina. As I was growing up I also knew there was a lot about all religions that did not add up, they all talked peace but had a history of being at war with each other and themselves. When Serge Benhayon presented the Ageless Wisdom and the Way of the Livingness I knew I had found the truth. I now know that I am a Son of God equal to every other person on Earth and that God in pure love is in the inner-heart of all of us.
How important to have times of stillness where we let go of all doing and surrender to our beings and connection to God!
Thank you dearly for the reminder that ‘…brotherhood and harmony with everybody is necessary…’ It is at times easy to forget this as there are so many people who have forgotten or who are denying this, resulting in many lives being led that are so full of emotion, hurt, blame and judgement.
Reminding myself I am divine by nature is the key to staying connected to me and unhurt by what is all around me.
Wow Janina, what a powerful piece of writing. You being the son of God.. and claiming it so has inspired me to know and feel that that is equal in me too. Your words are incredibly powerful and I can feel how much stronger you are from claiming this immutable fact as well.
I love your comment Kate – ‘true religion is a gift from heaven that we can live on earth if we so choose’. Simply beautiful!
Yes indeed, Welcome Janina – Son of God! Thank you for sharing your spherical journey – coming home back to LOVE.
Your comment is so lovely as it reminds me of my own struggle to accept the divinity, soulful origins and my absolute beauty. It is remarkably hard to continue to deny these things when we are graced with the most powerful healing modalities of Sacred Esoteric Healing and all the modalities offered through Universal Medicine.
Thank you Janina for writing about having given up on yourself and how you have come to claim back your right as a true son of god.
Beautiful Thomas, thank you for sharing: “For me to even write ‘we are all Gods sons’, I feel an inner smile, because I used to react to the word God, but now feeling the true connection to God and not what religion has fed us in the past, I am able to embrace thy father.”
“And life began to make sense again”.
Serge Benhayon spoke and lived truth; how precious and divine it it that, we are taught and loved by the world teacher.
Indeed welcome, and celebrate, Janina – Son of God
Very inspiring, thank you for expressing so beautifully and truthfully.
Beautiful blog Janina. The bible and other stories about God did not really make sense to me either when I grew up and was taught about God and religion in school. It was made a something outside of myself, God was presented as someone in the sky (heaven) looking down on us, Jesus was presented as a miraculous man that could do things no one else could.
With connecting back to the Ageless Wisdom as presented by Serge Benhayon I learned the truth about God and that is that God is love and in us all as we are indeed the Sons of God. Just feels so different from what I was taught in school and I understand how I gave up on God because of the false stories. Now I am rediscovering how truly religious I am, living with God as I am the Son of God which is simply living love.
Amazing Lieke van Haastrecht to discover how “truly religious” we are and to live as a Son of God.
Beautiful said Monica “…it feels like a great mirror today, to allow me to stop and reflect on how much has changed and how God is now once again part of my life”.
Yes Lieke, I also have found that it is actually very simple as I am a religious man living with God. For me allowing God into my life and accepting that I am the Son of God is actually so natural to me and shows me a simple way out of the misery I had created in life because of giving up on God, that I sometimes wonder why for heaven’s sake I have walked away from him.
I agree Samantha Westall this is an amazing turn around I and many other Students of the Way of the Livingness have experienced. Today we have the choice!
To transition from feeling not understood, in misery and confusion to where you now stand in appreciation of your beauty and power, and living the joy you feel is an extraordinary turn around. Amazing.
Yes Esther, “let’s rock the boat” and bring the love and joy we are!!
Hello son of god Janina it was a real joy to read your powerful blog. To share your way back to feel who you really are is very inspiring. For me a true religion is the true connection to my essence as well – as your wrote that made so much more sense. So let us rock the boat.
So beautiful, so powerful. I just loved reading your words. “All I have to do is become still and give myself the permission to feel me; my Soul and God reveals the depth of love that I am” – this feels to be a great home-coming. Thank you, Janina – your connection to God is deeply felt.
I agree Arianne ” it is interesting to observe what gets in the way” to speak and live our truth, like people reacting and get jealous and causing problems with us, which is also there to hold us back. If we step more into our power there are forces which will try to stop us. And we need to lovingly learn to deal with them.
I agree Janina, “now it feels time to speak and live the truth.” It literally hurts too much to not do so. And it is interesting to observe what gets in the way, and the thoughts, and possible fears – all which try to hold us back.
It was a joy to come back and read this again Janina. A great reminder and confirmation that there is something within me and all of us that is worth not shutting down or hiding away.
“The challenge was to constantly let go of all the things that didn’t support being truly me, and to start to accept and allow myself to feel my amazing essence – that there is love and joy in my heart. In expressing it I can expand and share this with others”.
So lovely to hear you claim that you are a Son of God, that we are all Sons of God
What a divine blessing to be treasured
Yes I agree Rachel, i very much enjoy your expression Janina in how you share you, it is beauty-full and delicate.
‘All I have to do is become still and give myself the permission to feel me; my Soul and God reveals the depth of love that I am’
So beautiful Janina and so very true.
Becoming still allows us to truly connect to who we are.
We are ALL Sons of God. Whohoooooo ✨✨
Welcome back Janina – Son of God!
What a gorgeous blog in honour of yourself and your reconnection with true religion. There is no rah-rah just the simplicity of knowing we are all divine and our purpose in life.
It’s so beautiful to feel the love and commitment in your expression as you claim yourself as a Son of God.
“I have lived denying my own power, inner-knowing and amazing beauty. Now I am beginning to feel how amazing and beautiful I am.” Thanks Janina
Janina, how amazing life becomes when we reclaim our own pawer and express in full without fear or favour. It took time for the message of Universal Medicine to take root within me but it can only keep on growing from now on.
Wow Janina awesome to read your new claimed version of you as a Son of God, feels amazing.
Wow Janina, it is lovely to feel you in all your glory and to know that we are all as equally glorious. It is just up to us to choose to see the true beauty and divinity that we are and to live in a way that inspires others to claim their amazingness too.
That’s beautiful to hear Janina. Today I realised too that we are definetly here as sons of god to shine and reveal that little secret to everyone that’s open too.. It’s a great way to live. I remember when I was younger I experienced the same thing that you have described here.. ‘As a child I had a strong sadness, I felt very alone, I was crying a lot and felt that the world was different and that people didn’t understand me; I didn’t know how to deal with it.’ If it wasn’t for people living with their conection to god, I’m pretty sure id still be feeling the same.
“All I have to do is become still and give myself the permission to feel me; my Soul and God reveals the depth of love that I am” – thank you for writing such a deeply loving and inclusive blog Janina, confirming how precious is our true expression.
Yes welcome Janina son of god, time to shine with no apology.
What an affirmation to committing back to the purpose of life and re-connecting to oneself, a true joy Janina to read and feel the amazing woman you always were.
Thank you Thomas, with love Janina
“I can feel how strongly I have held my truth and true expression back to avoid reactions or to not rock the boat. I’ve not allowed myself to be seen and heard as joyful and loving. This was deeply ingrained in me, but now it feels time to speak and live the truth.” – I can feel how I have done this also Janina, and sometimes it is hard to express because I have been holding back.
I know this so well, Natalie. The having held back is a momentum and trap where I tend to fall in again and again because it feels so common. What a different feeling if I don’t give power away and hold back with expressing the truth that I am awesome and equally amazing as everybody else around me.
The more you express Natalie the more natural it gets and joyful as you let out more of you!
The funny thing is when you go to a guru, many people also feel that life makes sense again. The difference is that they listen to a guru and become very dependent on him or her and lost without them. Here we are finding ourselves and always have a choice to go away and do the rest ourselves. It will be less efficient but it will be entirely possible.
The constant confirmations in our own body are one of the bigger differences.
Awesome observations here christophschnelle … the constant confirmations in our bodies are the difference. ✨
Reclaiming yourself as a son of God is such a blessing, for not only yourself, but for all of humanity and you show us the way which we eventually all will go, for we are all equally sons of God.
I love your blog Janina. I can relate to it so well, I too have felt the deep sadness of not living my true self, capping my joy so to not rock the boat or draw attention. And it was through Universal Medicine that I began to realise this deep hurt and sadness I was carrying and learnt to let it go. I have allowed myself to fully appreciate who I am and appreciate how far I have come. Also, I am learning to reconnect to God and truly claiming who I am, a son of God.
Beautiful Chan!
“Life is beginning to make sense again” … How true this fact is thanks to what Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and The Way of the Livingness presents.
Amazing how all the teachings about God you were presented with as a small child left you feeling alone in the world, where you felt you were never understood, when in fact God is with us all all of the time, and the key to feeling him with us is to always live his truth.
Great point Joshua, it doesn’t make sense that if God is always with us then why do we feel so disconnected from him, is it because from such a young age we are taught God is only available at certain times or certain places ie praying/places of worship, and that only a select few have ever spoken to god? Imagine the relationship we could have with both ourselves and others if we could be open to God and communicate in a way that is natural and consistent.
This would definitely be a whole new religion and a whole new way of understanding God and life, which actually is not new at all because this is exactly how many have lived with God thousands of years before us
That would be amazing Oliver Snelgrove, a world I want to live in: “Imagine the relationship we could have with both ourselves and others if we could be open to God and communicate in a way that is natural and consistent”.
It makes a difference when the truth is told and allowed to honour the confirming feeling in us that we are the sons of god. And we are to connect to this through our stillness.
Beautifully expressed Concetta. When we choose to live and express from our godliness, we give many others permission to live the godliness that we all are.
Very beautifully shared Janina, it is great to claim that we are sons of god and are all equal and connected.
This is awesome I really loved reading it, feeling the power of you, saying YEP i’m all in look out here I come!!
Janina I loved reading your claiming of you as a Son of God. I too have claimed this in me and in everyone else which is very humbling yet incredible.
Beautiful Janina. The truth that we are the sons of God is so powerful. How crazy is it that sons of God (as all humans are equally) do so many awful things to the earth, themselves and each other. If we all lived the truth of who we are the world would be a very different place.
Reclaiming who we truly are is very powerful.
Thank you Joseph for your beautiful reflection and confirmation.
This is precious Janina. Thank you. In your words I could feel such a strong sense of the oneness you describe, like you have your arms around us as we read. Theres an amazing openness in how you deliver this sweet sermon. The words even seem to shine bright.
I agree Joseph, you have said it so beautifully. Thank you
So beautifully written Joseph and I agree whole heartedly with this “sweet sermon” and it feels “precious” to me as well. I was struggling to put into words how I was feeling as I read it, but you have said all that I wanted to say. Now it is for me to find my own words, and those I know will come naturally as I deepen my connection to myself and to God.
I agree Joseph. It is like you, Janina, have your arms around us all. True religion ✨
This is beautifully expressed, Joseph. thank you.
Thank you Janina and Jennifer, our divine integrity or true essence when connected to as presented by Serge Benhayon is definitely a key.
Janina your journey is what so many others have experienced, including myself. Returning to our true essence in those quiet still moments and maintaining that connection is what so many of our contemporaries desire, but have difficulty finding. The presentations of Universal Medicine and actively living love are undoubtably the key. Thanks for sharing your truth.
Wow Janina, I love how you have fully claimed back that you are a Son of God and in this you have also left no-one out – we are all equal and God is inside each and every one of us just the same. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Janina, these words:
“I have lived denying my own power, inner-knowing and amazing beauty. Now I am beginning to feel how awesome and beautiful I am.” are awesome to read and feel. It’s so wonderful hearing how someone has claimed themselves. Your blog is very much appreciated.
Thank you Janina your divine essence and connection with God resounds through your words, truly joyful to feel.
Janina, thank you for sharing such a light filled, joyful blog. Your essence really shines through in your writing. Your words ‘I’ve not allowed myself to be seen and heard as joyful and loving.’ caused me to pause and consider how I am holding back from claiming myself in full. Such a wonderful opportunity to recalibrate where I am at.
Lovely shared blog Janina – it brought up several reminders for me as a child having to attend church, I was so uninterested and was quite disruptive. I could not relate at all to what was being said and like you shared, it felt really artificial. I did not feel a part of anything until 40 years later when I first attended presentations by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. In your words “I have lived denying my own power, inner knowing and amazing beauty” thank you Janina. I am a Son of God.
Yes, WELCOME ARIEL, A SON OF GOD!
Beautiful to say that for yourself. I love it so much I also am going to – WELCOME ARIEL, A SON OF GOD.
There is an amazing claiming in just saying that and I know it has always been true. I have always been a son of God like everyone else but it has been a process to start to claim it, and now that I have started, I know I will not stop deepening that claiming of the fact. I am forever deepening my connection to myself and in that my connection with God.
I love the way you have re-connected with yourself so clearly and full of vibrant livingness Janina. There is nothing holding you back from you and all humanity, your open hearted and letting everyone know. This is brilliant.
Very well said and claimed Janina.
True religion means for me a true connection with my soul, and to live that connection daily.
Beautiful Janina, and your words here so relatable “I can feel how strongly I have held my truth and true expression back to avoid reactions or to not rock the boat. I’ve not allowed myself to be seen and heard as joyful and loving. This was deeply ingrained in me, but now it feels time to speak and live the truth”. Speaking up and not holding back on our might becomes easier the more we do it. And in our strength the boat is but rocked – necessarily. It is this steadiness and strength that is ultimately, and in the end, appreciated by people. A claimed Son of God being our inspired breath, and way.
Amazing comment Zofia I Love how you Express…
Wow Janina, what a beautiful claimed sharing. So many give up on life but really they are giving up in the despair of seeing the false reflection everywhere or at least the reflection of everything that is not who we truly are. Serge reflects who we all truly are at essence and to connect to that Divinity, is pure joy.
Yes, Nicola this is important what you share. The majority of the people do not live who they truly are and this is what we reflect another. I was able to turn around my life because of the reflection and steadiness of Serge Benhayon and his family and the Student Body of Universal Medicine. Now I am experiencing to feel true joy in my body, enjoying feeling me in my body when I move and sing, this is something I have missed for a long time….and to bring this quality of me in everything I do!
Yes I agree Nicola. It is the false reflection that we give up on.
It sure is Nicola and living that JOY each and every day is an amazing way of entering into life and the best homework ever.
I can relate Janina to the disconnection felt going to church. As a child my parents dragged us kids along to the Greek Orthodox church. I never really connected to it at all and couldn’t understand what the priests were saying as it was all in ancient Greek language. When I became of age to make my own decisions I stopped going, and as an adult did not have a connection with the church at all. It wasn’t until I started studying with Universal Medicine that I started to connect with what I would call my true religion – the divine aspect within us all – the godliness within us all. Finally religion made sense, but because the word itself has been so misrepresented in the plethora of religions out there, I find it hard to have a conversation using this word as it conjures up all sorts of responses and reactions, which I totally understand as in the past I would do the same. Its so lovely to have reconnected to the truth of what I know in my body and that deep intimacy I can have with myself knowing that God lives within me and each and every one of us.
Janina I can feel the joy you feel about coming ‘home’ to your true self in the words you write, wonderful.
I agree Paul, to hand over the control to our mind and to create our own reality, we miss out completely everything which is worth living for and what life is truly about.
Thank you Janina. I grew up surrounded by people who did not believe in God and had a strong distain for religion. They were completely untrusting of them due to reasons I was not completely aware of, but I got the feeling they felt it was all a big lie designed by people in power to control us. From very young I knew there was more, I had a strong passion for everything spiritual, knew there was a God but felt very unsupported in my quest to understand more. This quest finally ended when I was 40, it was this year I attended my first Universal Medicine presentation. My feelings I had not fully understood were confirmed, it was from here I knew the truth that lived inside of me was real. It took me quite some time to trust it though, and at times still question it, which I know sounds a little crazy but when you have given your mind so much authority for so long it takes time to break this pattern but so worth the effort, until there is no effort, just love.
Thanks Janina. The truth of religion and the reconnection the divinity we are is truly empowering and as you say a welcoming home.
Janina I so understand your statement life started to make sense after the introduction of Universal Medicine into your life as I also experienced this after years of questioning why and suffering from depression because I did not understand life. Thank you Universal Medicine.
Toni, your comment resonated deeply with me, as my life, too only started to make sense through finding Universal Medicine, and subsequently, through making self loving choices.
The understanding of life that Universal Medicine presents that has supported so many people to make sense of their lives and the world are so simple yet so profound and life changing. Yet these understandings had not been presented to me before Universal Medicine. I can imagine how supportive it would have been for me as a young child and as a teenager to have these understanding so when I made choices I really had something that made sense to choose from. We always have a choice but when we are only given partial or false understandings are we really being given a choice to choose? I feel the first time I was given the opportunity to make a true choice was when I came to Universal Medicine and received a comprehensive understanding of the science of life.
‘When I was in my mid 20’s, I decided that there is no God.’ This is an amazing statement, as if the whole reality of God can be made true or not by deciding it so. It is so contra to how God works, and how to find God, definitely not through the mind. Your story, Janina, is beautiful in its unfolding way. So lovely that you found Him again and have claimed it so.
Dear Janina, like you I had very little religious teachings as I grew up. I did however always feel a closeness and connection with Jesus. However I too lived with the same deep sadness that you talked of. Each time though that things got to a desperate point, something miraculous would happen in my life, many miracles of God. Even in my sadness I knew this to be true. However even these miracles were not enough for me to take stock and accept that I too was and am a miracle, a Son of God. For me my choice to be a student of Universal Medicine has supported me in feeling this truth again and in choosing to now live the true Son of God that I am. As I am writing this I feel now a deep appreciation for myself, for somehow, on some level I have not been too far away from the love that I am. One of the miracles I spoke of above was on going to bed one evening I clearly heard the words Automobile Accident. Some how even in the raciness of both my body and my mind, the next day I found myself being very present and very focused, especially as I was driving that day. At one part of the day I was presented with a very close call and knew deeply that if I had not have received the knowing the night before, I would not have been present enough to prevent, what would probably have been my death in this life time. A very clear message that I am here to be one of the many truthful reflections (Son of God) that I am for many to see and feel that God/Love resides equally inside all of us.
Beautiful sharing Leigh of your known connection with God-which is there all along. It is our choice to connect to our divine essence and in that to God or to live a life in separation to it all.
Janina, this is the most beautiful sharing of the divinity that is within us all, thank-you.
Tears have come as I have read your words, “So, welcome Janina – Son of God.” Welcome indeed. I can feel the power and truth of your reconnection to the absoluteness of who you are, and the way in which you can meet all others in kind.
This truth – that we are all Sons of God – is what humanity most desperately needs to remember. To see this in each other restores our relating to a way of love that cannot be shaken. Thank-you for sharing your truth, that is the truth of us all, so openly.
Thank you Victoria for your love and appreciation 🙂
Well said Janina, putting your “checking out” in the dustbin, where it belongs! I agree, Universal Medicine and all that it offers has inspired me to also put my “checking out” in the dustbin too, once and for all.
Once I realised how many forms this checking out took, tv, music, food, day-dreaming, driving on auto-pilot, I could then bring myself back instead of drifting off further and further from me.
Thank you for sharing your experience Janina. Serge Benhayon definitely makes things simple and easy to understand. Being love, being true to ourselves and connecting to who we truly are. Feeling the equality in all. I love these simple messages.
A reflection of truth if who we all equally are!
I totally agree Laura. I too was brought up catholic and because of all that was imposed on me from that religion, I actually had to work through the issue I had with the word religion. I saw religion while growing up as something to do with God, having to be a certain way to be accepted, feeling guilt, confessing sins, being lesser and a mere mortal with god being mighty, others knowing better etc but now I know religion is about love, and our return to the love that we are from which is equal to God.
There are so many things in your sentence alone that would keep people away from having a relationship with God or even an honest look at the word religion. It is becoming unavoidable to see that most religions are very far away from love, and sometimes close to the opposite of love.
Thank you Janina. I too had a lot of sadness and felt that there was something deeply amiss with the world. I didn’t feel really meet or seen for who I knew myself to be and also a part of me had left the truth of who I am from my heart behind- hence the sadness. It wasn’t till I heard and felt the quality of what Serge Benhayon presented did I feel truth and have more of an understanding. I learned to bring self care and love into my life and live with the connection from my heart.
Lovely to read of your experiences and awareness. “I have lived denying my own power, inner-knowing and amazing beauty. Now I am beginning to feel how awesome and beautiful I am.” I still deny myself every day, but less than I did before…that is because I am building a connection with myself and with God and it supports me to feel more amazing than I ever have. We are all equal, we are all divine.
Wonderful to reread this Janina, it is beautiful to feel your journey from isolation to connection to truth.
Yes Amita, we are all equal sons of God!
A beautiful article Janina, we are all equal sons of God.
Its a powerfull fact knowing we are all equall sons of God, thank you for sharing your journey Janina
So, welcome Madeline – Son of God.
I did the opposite of what you did Janina in that I was always searching for God. I just knew God had to be somewhere but where? I search high and low and it was only through the teachings of Universal Medicine that I finally came to know that God lives within me and the exhausting search for God was over. Now I can just be me knowing that I come from that same love.
Me too Elizabeth, God most certainly lives within me and its an absolute joy knowing that it is within all equally so. We are ALL the chosen ones, we just all don’t know this yet, but we all eventually will.
Thank you Janina – for an inspiring blog and sharing how simple religion truly is.” True Religion is to be in connection with my divine essence: the connection I have to myself.
All I have to do is become still and give myself the permission to feel me; my Soul and God reveals the depth of love that I am.” Beautiful!
‘So, welcome Janina – Son of God’ powerful to feel how you have claimed yourself back Janina.
I agree Leigh, stop pretending that we are not, we are in truth divine.
Welcome Mary-Son of God
Wow Janina, you are certainly expressing your love and joy now! I totally relate to the protestant upbringing not making sense, but I was not even invited to confirmation as my ideas were seen as immature as I was questioning everything at the time. I gave up on God and myself until with the help of Serge Benhayon and practitioners of Universal Medicine I started weeding out the ideals, beliefs and behaviours behind my ‘given up’ take on life, and to see that it’s all about deepening my connection to myself and the essence within.
How beautiful Janine to acknowledge and accept that you are a son of God.. it’s a very powerful reclaiming of your divine essence.
A beautiful blog Janina of how you rediscovered your relationship with God and reclaimed yourself. Very inspiring.
So inspiring Janina, great claiming. I loved it, makes me want to step up and claim Kim more. Thank you.
I can feel again that it is time to claim our own divinity, being a Son of God. Living with this connection as our foundation and knowing that in all we do we are not alone but supported by God’s love. This is huge – we are huge. We are powerfull! Living our power as a claimed Son of God and not backing off from this.
Thank you for an absolutely beautiful Blog Janina. Feeling my connection to God is everything now. And thanks to Universal Medicine I was able to understand what the deep aching sadness/emptiness within me was saying. I missed my relationship and connection with God more than anything. It has taken time to rediscover my connection with my God but every single step I have taken to build this relationship has been worth more than anything I have ever experienced.
Thank you Vicky, your Yoga session i just did supported and reminded me beautiful to strengthen and deepen my relationship with God.
So beautiful to read your blog Janina, Thank you.
Hi Janina so awesome to read you claiming your very birth right, to feel the truth and living that truth is brilliant.
I can relate to what you say Leigh, “it has been my own stubborn denial and refusal to feel the fact that I am a son of God”. I can’t blame others for this.
It has been such a joy to read this and all the comments. Thank you Janina for starting the conversation.
Divine sharing Janina- Yes thank you to Universal Medicine for presenting truth, to allow me to reconnect and confirm to the fact that I (as everyone equally is) am a son of God. It is through my lived love that this divine expression can be there throughout my body. I know God to be in my heart, in my mind, when I connect to my love. In my touch, in my presence and stillness, in my movement, in the depth of my eyes, in others, in nature and much much more. It is something I can now feel unwaveringly so, from my bones – a deep knowing that I am in him and he is in me- equally so. However, I always have a choice to feel and connect to the depth of that love and it continues to deepen each day as I continue to deepen my relationship with my essence.
I also was brought up in a religious home – Catholicism- which I feel is something I had also chosen for lifetimes, however not this one anymore or any future ones. No longer will I fall for part truths- everything must feel complete and true in my body.
This feels so beautiful in my body reading your comment Johanna and is for me an invitation to deepen my connection with God. Thank you
Johanna your comment resonates with me and feels deeply supportive and confirming of what I also feel inside. Thank you for expressing this so clearly and in an intricate detail.
Yes David we judged ourselves harshly when we feel there must be something more, something more truthful, but nobody seems to share that feeling. I now understand that religion is the true connection to myself and my fellow beings, not the dogma and beliefs I was imprinted with as a child. Thanks to Janina for her soul-ful blog.
