1. “I could feel I was a part of God and I realised that to stay connected to God is to stay connected with my body.” This is such a simple act to follow — to be with God is to be with your body.

2. Blaming God for what happens to us is easy. Yet, when we consider that it is ourselves who create our own reality, hence that what happens to us is of our own choosing, blaming God gets exposed for what it is: a way to avoid responsibility.

3. Coming to understand that the feelings which come from my innermost do not lie, “it is only my thoughts and emotions that can lie” was simply life-changing for me, especially as I had allowed them to rule my life for a very long time. Trusting these feelings from within is taking a while, but slowly I am seeing the beautiful consequences of doing so. The days of allowing my thoughts and my emotions to rule are becoming lesser and as they become lesser my life becomes greater.

4. Thank you for this blog Karin, I never considered that if we give up on God and our connection to God, we double down on life or attempt to, and often get disillusioned or keep running from one thing to the next in order not to feel the emptiness within. For without the connection to God and who we are, we are left with an emptiness to fill.

5. I can totally relate to what you have written here as this was my experience as well. “The way Serge spoke of God, to me, and his obvious direct relationship with God, inspired me to open myself up to the possibility that I too could have a direct relationship with God.” The reconnection to God has been a gradual process as I have had to wade through the morass of ideals and beliefs that I took about who God is, but with each choice to reconnect the clearer my connection becomes.

6. If we were not all equally the Sons of God then why so would so many religious teachings be all about our divine father? As the relationship we have with our Inner-most deepens, then that divine essence brings an unshakable inner knowing that we are all equally a part of that divinity.

7. I lived disconnected from God most of my life, thinking he was outside of me and having to search for him. Now I know that he lives within and as I deepen my relationship with my body by being present with all my movements, my relationship with God and myself can only deepen.

8. Where do we get the idea that God is outside ourselves? It has to come from what is presented to us, that life is just what we see, as it is not the natural feeling we have as little kids. Once you come back to the knowing of God through your body, it’s hard to imagine you fell for the belief that he is outside you and inaccessible.

9. I too grew up thinking God was separate, it was ‘him’ and ‘me’ and only worthy to those who attended the temple or church. And yet as you truely expressed, there is no separatism, we are parts of God and together we form the wholesome and its when we allow the thought and emotions to lie to us that this feeling of distance is between us, temporarily.

   When I am me, I am the Son of God and then this Son of God is the beacon for others to be the Son of God.

10. One thing I am aware of since I have brought God back into my daily life, is that if I am feeling any form of sadness like depression trying to move its way in, I know I have once again stepped away from God.

11. “I could feel I was a part of God and I realised that to stay connected to God is to stay connected with my body.” A beautiful realisation that God and the Divine Love that He is embraces us and flows through us at every moment.

12. And God is felt as a being who is never more or less. We are all equal and we learn through our walking there is a way to walk, a way that delivers that equalises.

13. How many of us get distracted by, and confused by the mixed messages religions gives us about “God” and who we are. So how we relate to “God and the link between depression and feeling worthless, and it made me consider my own experience growing up,” so that what role does our own self-worth play? Could it be our spirit keeps us all on a tread-mill taking to a perceived goal that takes us no-where and this effects everyone rich and poor? What you have shared Karin is great and we can all learn from your sentence! – as this is True for all of us!! “For me, I am now learning the meaning of true and real religion and in this, that God is not separate from me, and in this, that there is always a connection, and it is only I who separate from this connection when I am not claiming who I truly am.”

14. God lives within by the light of the Soul, this says it all, and it is for all to experience, as they did once a long time ago.

15. To stop looking for God outside of myself but instead within myself as presented The Way of The Livingness has been life changing, enriching and fulfilling.

16. Thank you Karin. I’m inspired each day how my life becomes simpler the more I trust in my connection and alignment to my true impulse and grace and how I feel within, compared to what is going on around me. The more I feel this the more I unravel my equalness and equanimity and understand my making, through my unique expression as the exact replica of the Son of God that I am.

17. ‘I could feel I was a part of God and I realised that to stay connected to God is to stay connected with my body’. This is a beautiful line showing that God resides within, to connect to this truth is to connect to our inner most and from there emanate all that God is.

18. It is beautiful to read of your connection to God now Karin, being part of a true religion has supported me as well to re-connect back to the truth of God and to feel the simplicity and joy flow through to all areas of my life, like you I also no longer feel the constant emptiness and separation from the time I turned my back on God.

19. ‘I looked out as a teenager at the suffering and emptiness around me and thought, maybe they were right. Or, if they weren’t, I didn’t feel I had access to God or love’.
    To then feel that we can connect to God and not ever be separate from that divine essence is amazing turn around.
    ‘For me, I am now learning the meaning of true and real religion and in this, that God is not separate from me, and in this, that there is always a connection, and it is only I who separate from this connection when I am not claiming who I truly am.’
    So why are we empty? Is it to do with separation? Could it be when we separate or feel that are separate from God we feel empty?
    With this as a base understanding and as let’s say a truth, as is representative of those comments and this blog, then what is it that makes us feel empty? Then the real question becomes how do we hold onto a true relationship with God so we become a divine servant for truth? Could it be when we start to move in every way so we become a vessel that the Universe can express through? So if this is true then it is our dust or particles that are universal that belong to God that move in a way that is aligning to God so we can say we are Religious to the best of our ability. So this could be one of the reasons why we feel empty when our particles are not aligned to God.

20. When we make a choice to live a life that is divinity-free, we deprive ourselves from what is and will be our only anchor to truth and beauty and hence we open the door fully to abuse and misery.

    1. Superbly expressed Eduardo and expresses clearly that abuse and misery we may experience is the consequence and therefore the result of our own choices.

21. ” I could feel I was a part of God and I realised that to stay connected to God is to stay connected with my body. As a result I am now beginning to feel that God is in fact within us all – all of the time – and that we are all equal. In the Christian sense of understanding God, the opposite applies, where the body is tainted and sinful and has to be kept under control, which leads to the rejection of the body and the adoption of a religion that is mental and emotional taking oneself away from God within to a God outside of ourselves.

22. This summary of your experience with what and who God is makes a huge amount of sense to me. I think that no matter how many times you hear something, if you have a strong underlying belief about God, its like you are tainted with what your mind lets you hear. Well, that is until someone comes along and explains it, as you have, in a way that bursts your bubble and helps you understand. My new found understanding is that our relationship with God only depends on how we move and live in the body we are in, so its commitment to self that finds us Godly. No wonder the barstardised version of godliness is constant charity and endless empty giving, its the opposite of what leads you to God.

23. “The only way to know God is to claim who I am” – beautifully said, Karin. Many institutionalized religions talk about God but keep people away from God by setting themselves up as the expert that would stand in-between God and ordinary people.

24. ‘So true- it is only I that separates from this’.
    I grew up in a religion that actually made me second guess the connection I felt to God and I took this on from a lack of self worth- thinking who am I to think that I can have a connection to God as I am so far down the pecking order. In truth there is no pecking order- we all have this.

25. False images of God and religion, feeding a life that we know it cannot be true, cannot but have harming consequences. The relationship we establish with life and with ourselves suffers from this.

26. Sometimes it astounds me how many people blame God for the fall out of their own choices and their necessary learning’s in life.

27. This line really interested me “I looked out as a teenager at the suffering and emptiness around me and thought, maybe they were right.” I’ve had this experience so many times when I’ve known there was more to life or more to us but thought maybe I was wrong and everyone else was right. Like you say – if you look out life often doesn’t make sense, but if you look inwards and trust what you know life makes perfect sense.

28. “I am beginning to appreciate the truth of what it means to know and trust my true, innermost feelings and that these do not lie to me – it is only my thoughts and emotions that can lie.” This line was important for me to read this morning, as sometimes i am caught by my thoughts and I cannot recognize this as my way to avoid to connect deeper with that love and stillness that lives within and instead create havoc in my body with allowing in wayward thoughts.

29. It’s been my experience also that when god has been presented it/he has been presented as something outside of who we are – someone to look up to, obey and do no wrong by. So naturally, as a human being living with feet firmly on the ground of this planet, it didn’t make any sense to me that I should worship something out there in the ether. My relationship with the notion of god has slowly (with some stubbornness), started to change as I accept that perhaps what I had previously been taught was completely false, and that perhaps I am part of the all more than I had originally imagined.

30. We react to the falseness of how God is portrayed because everything about us actually knows the truth of our relationship with Him.

    1. Exactly Rachael, it is our reaction to that we deeply know is not true that makes us looking for ways to improve our lives. But until we connect with the essence in us that is our direct connection with God, we will only find solutions but will never go to the root of the ill we have chosen to live with.

31. Unimedpedia God – http://www.unimedliving.com/unimedpedia/word-index/unimedpedia-god.html provides a wonderful understanding of who and what God is and how to connect to him / her and yourself.

    1. The lies and bastardisation of the word God are pure evil in the true meaning of the word evil. Evil is another word that has been resurrected by Unimedpedia here: http://www.unimedliving.com/unimedpedia/word-index/unimedpedia-evil.html

32. Thank you Karin for your gorgeous blog. God is within us all, so when we choose to abuse our body it is in effect our way of rejecting ourselves and God. Therefore when we choose to self-love, self-care and self-nurture we are choosing to reconnect to God through the divine particles in our body. When we understand how we can reconnect to God it is pretty much impossible to abuse our body as we can feel immense love throughout our entire body when we truly connect to God.

33. As I read this blog I feel the responsibility to simply keep my thoughts and stay focused on my breath and reading otherwise I can get so easily distracted, which only disconnects me further from God. Thank you God, Serge Benhayon and Vicky for sharing how important it is to be responsible for everything I do, because I have found so much of what is so called life is simply a distraction from the truth about God.

34. There is so much in this article and about how we are with ourselves which directly relates to how we are with God. For so long my focus was on what I was doing wrong and an attempt at perfectly doing everything right in the belief that this put me closer to God and yet I felt so so far away. This pushed me to work harder and seek more perfection in order to make it look like I was closer to God and yet I couldn’t feel him nor at one point did I even think he existed. Even though I didn’t think he existed it didn’t stop the push to be right and the avoidance of being wrong which doesn’t make sense as you would think that the moment you don’t believe in God you would also drop right and wrong. So there was something else going on and it wasn’t just about believing in God or not. It came down to this, “What I am also appreciating is the fact that the only way to know God is to claim who I am (and who we all naturally are) to be one with Him.” The part, the whole, the emptiness was the fact that I didn’t know myself, I was walking further and further away from who I felt deeply I already was. God and I are one, I/we are made in his essence and so to be with him is to truly be with me, so simple and so freeing.

35. To not feel the presence of God deeply hurts so it is no wonder that we become depressed. Learning to check in with my body during the day by feeling it and where I am at is supporting me to be present with my body and therefore to God. It is a commitment and responsibility not just to myself but to everyone and everything.

    1. To me feeling depressed is feeling lonely, rejected, misunderstood, lack of purpose, unloved and unworthy. When we truly understand our relationship with God, we know without a doubt He is always with us, so we never feel alone but constantly held in absolute love. We then have a sense of purpose to express God’s love through our everyday expression and know that we are all equally divine and precious.

36. I am reading a lot about religion lately and it’s all coming back to me, to us. In other words I remember growing up and having the internal struggle with what I was feeling and what was being told to me. I started to question but this gave me more questions and also gave me the feeling of being silly or a loner. I didn’t like this and didn’t want to be on my own so I pushed ahead and still didn’t accept what I was being told but created another identity that gave the appearance I was a good person. Using this persona I was able to keep people onside without having to actually let them fully know who or how I was. Inside myself I wasn’t happy and there was an internal struggle because while I could see everything that was going on I couldn’t catch or touch it. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine supported me to clear my past so I could see what I was already feeling but couldn’t touch. The moment I got to touch on this was the moment of awareness of how things had been. More and more I am seeing the game that is played on us. What is allowed to run because of how we live can be confronting. I use to think the world was a bad place and that somehow I had to make it better, where now I can see the world is a big mirror, reflecting what we are choosing the way we are moving in each moment. As they say if you don’t like the reflection then change the quality you are looking into it with.

37. It is a very personal relationship we can have with god, only when we choose it to be so.

    1. I agree Benkt — we can’t rely on books, stories or rituals to connect to God. Our relationship with Him is far more simple and much more grand.

38. When I was younger I felt God had deserted me, that God didn’t even exist, and now through connecting more to my body, my connection to God does exist and the more I realise now that God was always with me, I had chosen not to maintain my connection with myself which meant for me at the time God had abandoned me, how wrong I was.

39. “To avoid the deep despair that I felt, I turned deeper into a life-long affair with food, accumulating other outside distractions as I grew up.” This is actually quite insightful what you are saying here as it shows that we are craving a deep relationship with ourselves, knowing ourselves in full and living it and if we do not do this we turn to other things we can have a close relationship with, only that all other relationships, as dedicated and committed we might be, will never fill the intimate and deep relationship we crave with ourselves/God to then bring this naturally out to the world in everything we do.

40. Human beings have tried for a long time to humanise God and relating to Him from there. What human beings have not done (massively at least) is to delve into the divine that is inside and treat each other as what we are, Gods.

    1. So spot on. We try to integrate God into our human life instead of accepting our divine origins. Which makes sense: we are sons of God, thus we are godly and not God human.

41. How dis-empowering it is to think that God is to blame for all our woes and also a good excuse to ignore and not look at the way we are living our life – the choices that WE make! This is not to say we should then bash ourselves for any choices we see that weren’t loving or were harmful but use that clarity to simply make different choices moving forwards.

42. Living a ‘religious life’ in established terms is like building a barrier that makes sure that God will not have a chance with us. The message is clear, do not count on us.

43. ‘What I am also appreciating is the fact that the only way to know God is to claim who I am (and who we all naturally are) to be one with Him.’ Beautifully said and very true Karin, claiming and living the truth that we are all the Sons of God is a powerful choice that inspires and awakens others to know this equally as well.

44. It is one of the gravest evils in this world is that we are taught from a young age that God is separate from us, and that our union with Him can only come through our death if what we ‘do’ is ‘good’ whilst alive. Yet in truth our relationship with God is ever-present for we are in fact the Sons of God and as such who we are within naturally is Divine. When we embrace a loving relationship with our bodies we deepen our connection to our Soul, through which our union with God and our Godliness is known.

45. “This means that any doubt that I am a Son of God or thinking I am not worthy, hampers if not prevents my connection to God.” Absolutely!

46. Thank you Karin for a great sharing one I could relate to, especially these words “I am beginning to appreciate the truth of what it means to know and trust my true, innermost feelings and that these do not lie to me – it is only my thoughts and emotions that can lie.” From a young age I was told “feelings are not to be trusted” which resulted in a life long shut down of what I was feeling and living from my thoughts and emotions. Thank God for the truth that The Way of The Livingness brings, that God’s love lives within and as I connect to the feelings of my inner heart I know me as his child and he as my Father.

47. As I read this blog again I am left wondering just how many people are depressed in this world. According to the World Health Organisation there are an estimated 350 million people worldwide suffering with Depression. But what about those very many people who live lives in states that we label the ‘winter blues and the like – and who ‘self-medicate’ with alcohol, food, over the counter tablets or distract themselves in other ways? Something is not right here. Surely our lives are not really about getting through the days staving off the greyness. Like Karin, I have come to know that there is a direct relationship with God we can all equally have when we reconnect with the innate wisdom of our bodies and this feels like a true homecoming to me, more so than anything I ever learned in a church. The Way of The Livingness is to me, the real deal where religion is concerned. It is that connection to God within – via a ‘direct line’, not via any intermediary source. As we have been told by many wise teachers, ‘The Kingdom of God is Within You’.

48. So why is it that we choose purposely and make presence and connection to ourselves so difficult and challenging when in truth it is simple? We are so much grander than what we are being told. I have recently become aware of the power of my voice when I speak up and do not hold back. It is this power that I have been afraid of for most of my life, afraid of the reactions my voice would cause in others but lovingly speaking up supports me to remain in the connection to myself otherwise I contract and the connection is lost.

49. Beautifully expressed Karin, feeling what it means to breathe the breath of God has been life changing for me. When we fill ourselves with thy fathers breath we leave no room for untrue emotions or images to enter.

50. ” The way Serge spoke of God, to me, and his obvious direct relationship with God, inspired me to open myself up to the possibility that I too could have a direct relationship with God. I began to feel the truth of what I had heard Serge Benhayon present many times: that when we are fully present in our bodies we are connected to ourselves and to God.” Love this Karin. Taking responsibility for our relationships with everyone – including God – is so empowering.

51. God has given us free will. He cannot force us not to use it. On the other hand, there is no reason why he would change a path set by someone that needs something to happen to him/her. God can’t never be blamed for what happens to us. We are responsible.

    1. I agree Eduardo, there is so much in life we need to experience to support our growth and it is because of the utmost love God has for us that we are offered exactly what we need to help us on our way because of the choices we have made.

52. How far have we walked away from who we truly are, such so that we are now fighting one another because of our religious beliefs about who owns the true god, the power to rule all. This is all because of us not acknowledging that God is simply living within each and everyone of us. We are equal sons of God and when we allow that reality into our lives, all wars will cease and true harmony and brotherhood shall be restored on earth.

53. So simply put Karin, we miss the connection to God, without it we are full of distractions that have no Soul and empty de-pressed feelings fill the void, thus depression.

54. I am starting to feel what I have been missing all my life and I realize that It had not been missing, I just did not know I had it all the time. The concept that God is inside me was hard to understand, because I had to feel it not understand it. Thank you Simple-Living Global and Universal Medicine for presenting so many things that have explained so many mysteries in my life.

55. Thank you Karin for a lovely sharing, I love these words so simple so true “that when we are fully present in our bodies we are connected to ourselves and to God. ” this is a continual process that gradually builds over time, of coming back to feel God’s love within us and the joy that this brings.

56. I can definitely see how depression at a tender young age could be precipitated by not having a sense of who we are and lacking true purpose. Serge Benhayon has inspired many to feel the Divine within and not be hindered by past beliefs about god and religion. It is a profound experience to discover true religion and find that it is not practised in temples or churches, but simply the way we live our lives and reflections we offer others.

57. To be depressed at the tender age of eleven and twelve is shocking and nowadays there is much more going on with children, teenagers and young adults that we need to ask ourselves what environment and role models are we offering our children if mental and physical ‘disorders’ have become so normal among the younger and youngest among us.

58. As you say Karen when we know that we have God within, everything makes sense in the world. To know we are all his equal sons and come from love to connect with the love in all.

59. It is interesting to look at the fact that we commonly are raised unknowingly of the simplicity of our connection with God that already resides in our inner hearts. How is it possible that we have allowed the institutionalised religions telling us that we, only through following their belief system, can come to God, as something outside of us instead? To me I cannot blame anybody, but only ask myself why I have walked away from that connection I had as a child, why did I not hold onto that but instead choose to accept the belief concepts about God and our existence that were presented to me? I now can say that I was walking away from the responsibility that comes with claiming and living that religious person through my inner connection with God, the responsibility for the waywardness I found the world to be in.

60. When we look to the world and what is going on, it kind of makes sense to think that God is punishing us, and that’s how I used to feel for a very long time, and that belief kept me at an arm’s length from God no matter what I tried as it was never enough, it was not possible to have a relationship with Him, or in fact with myself.

61. Our feeling of connection is solely based on the level of care, and this connection we have with ourself. Knowing the preciousness of who we are brings us the awareness of the divinity we are part of.

62. ‘I am beginning to appreciate the truth of what it means to know and trust my true, innermost feelings and that these do not lie to me – it is only my thoughts and emotions that can lie.’ I too have a deep appreciation for the level of trust that I am now building with my inner essence and how this supports me to see through the distractions of my thoughts and emotions. This has led to me feeling much steadier and the more I build on this foundation the less I am affected by lowness of mood and despair about the state of the world.

63. Recognising that it is always our choice to separate from God makes so much sense of the epidemic of depression that is currently so prevalent. We feel the loss of this innate connection and The Way of The Livingness is the first religion that reflects how simple it is to re-connect and live from a deep inner knowing of who we are and celebrate our connection with God. The true antidote to depression.

64. Great sharing Karin, I also have a deeper understanding of what the word God pertains to and also a deeper understanding of the true meaning of the word love. Love is God; we come from that love but have obviously left that love to go off on our own path while God sits lovingly waiting for us to return to the love we all come from. Living or my Livingness, is me starting to bring a deeper understanding that I do come from God and when I connect to that living aspect of myself, which is my soul, I have no reservations that I come from love which is the soul – the aspect of God I can no longer deny.

65. I remember growing up hearing about Gods, knowing that none of them were the God I would choose to believe in. I too felt lost in the purpose of life with feelings of disbelief that many would choose to live under a God that held them less. I have a deep appreciation for Universal Medicine, for reintroducing me to the God I have always known within. A God that holds no one less but all equal and is equal to the love I am within.

66. My life story sounds quite a lot like yours Karin, being told there was no God by one parent, while the other said there was, but wasn’t all that convincing. But although I struggled for so long to even say the word God, there was a part of me that couldn’t imagine there was no God, and definitely not the scary sounding God portrayed by so many religions. To have been re-introduced to God by Serge Benhayon has been like coming home, not just to God but to me.

67. “I am also appreciating is the fact that the only way to know God is to claim who I am (and who we all naturally are) to be one with Him.” Beautiful Karin. Knowing ourselves to be a Son of God is to know who we truly are.

    1. So true and simple Mary, being the Son of God has never been so easy.

68. This really hit home – it resonates so much with me I felt sure I had written this without realising! I will be going back to read this again for sure as there are so many pearls in here. I felt this one very keenly, “My attempts at avoiding what I felt to be the devastating possibility that the world was only what I could see and that there was no God or love, took me further from feeling love and God. As a result I abused my body for a long time.” Very powerful blog. Thank you Karin.

69. I loved what you shared about not being able to trust our thoughts and emotions for the ability they have to lead us astray, whereas our body holds the truth and when you are connected to it deeply, it is gorgeous to know that what you feel can be trusted above all else.

70. Karin I only can admit that I made the same experience in terms of god with Serge Benhayon: “The way Serge spoke of God, to me, and his obvious direct relationship with God, inspired me to open myself up to the possibility that I too could have a direct relationship with God.”

71. There are beliefs, sold in the name of religion, that are disempowering and make us feel lesser and separate from divinity, in doing this these beliefs are not true religion. I love how simple Serge Benhayon shows religion can be and how deeply enriching it is at the same time, fostering and developing a connection with our body and divinity in our everyday lives.

72. “I felt the joy of this for myself. I could feel I was a part of God and I realised that to stay connected to God is to stay connected with my body.”
    The difference that The Way of the Livingness offers is the connection to our body, many other Religions dwell in the knowledge of the mind but this asks your body to aline and then god is felt, not in a church or through a bible but in the heart.

73. I love how simply our potential relationship with God is put here. That by living connected and present with ourselves and our body we are with God. This is so obvious it’s not funny, because we are apart of God of course if we are with ourselves we are with God. I feel that guilt and worthlessness taken on from the imposition of most religions is why I have resisted remaining connected with myself and therefore God – from the shame of having left and the harm caused when separated. This is an absolute illusion designed to keep me away and it’s as simple as stepping back!

74. We blame God or beat ourselves up for our woes yet in truth, it is just a correction of our choices that were not in alignment with the rhythm of God. We blame everything and everyone and avoid the responsibility of our choices.

75. God is the living stillness and re-connecting to this stillness is re-connecting to God. It is a quality of expression and not someone we have to turn to. That is the universal oneness we are, in our quality of movement we express God.

76. Living and believing that God is a separate entity outside of ourselves is the separation that we have chosen to live individuality. We are all one and only through re-connecting to our oneness we all will return home.

77. We totally have the power to connect to God or not. God is within us and is total love. Accepting that we have lived less than this is hard but it should not hold us back once we become aware.

78. Thank you Karen for your blog. Religion always had me looking outside myself for God, always searching and never finding until Serge presented that I am a divine son of God and that God lives within and that through connection with my body and its inner essence God is found and felt. Always there and never not there.

79. To stay connected with God is to stay connected with your body. How these words are so rarely heard. God has been studied, fictionalised, fabricated, and designed. But never has he been allocated the direct relationship that we have with him through our very own physical bodies. Never, except for in the many great Esoteric Works that have been passed on to us for centuries.

80. To know oneself to be equal with God our father as the Sons of God that we are is returning home.

81. The issue of guilt, shame and unworthiness is a huge obstacle to one´s connection with God. As the world is riddled with this 3 devastating emotions it is no wonder that it is rare to meet a truly religious person; religious not in the sense of belonging to a faith but actively living with and in the presence of oneself and God. Religion in this sense is a very personal relationship with God but at the same time universal.

82. Isn´t it interesting if not shocking that the very institutions that claim to represent a connection or relationship with God are actually creating separation despite the fact that the word religion means ‘re-binding’, re-union’ … How can anything be more fallacious?!

83. How could any of us be unworthy of God’s love? It makes no sense when at the same time we all KNOW that God’s love is all around us.

84. All the ideals and beliefs, feelings which make ourselves less etc. we all use to sabotage to feel our connection with God, as God is always there, tangibly in our bodies, waiting for us to come back to our senses and with that to reconnect to the source we all are from.

85. Thank you Karen for sharing your experience of coming to know God and to claim your connection with him. I have lived most of my religious life looking for God outside of my self, only coming to know in recent years, through Serge’s teaching, that God was with me all along, just unclaimed, living deep within me.The searching now is over, and I have now come home, home to the true and loving me, a son of God.

86. Karin, your blog has left me pondering all the ways that I don’t claim myself fully and thus don’t fully claim my relationship with God. I can see how God is everywhere and in every little detail so there can be no half measures if someone is to have a true relationship with God. Thank you, you have given me much to continue to reflect on.

88. ‘What I am also appreciating is the fact that the only way to know God is to claim who I am (and who we all naturally are) to be one with Him.’ When we know ourselves from the inside out, we are both walking and working with God, it makes you realise that true Religion doesn’t come from outside.

89. Great blog Karin. The true relationship with God is not in a belief but in a knowing of Him, an intimate relationship with Him which is something that I was always seeking in the current forms of Religion but could never truly find until I reconnected to my inner most

90. I loved this blog Karin. There are a couple of bits that stood out in particular for me. The first one was around staying connected to God through a continuing connection with our bodies and the second one was that we can really only know God when we are prepared to claim who we are, imperfections and all. I hadn’t really considered my relationship with God in these ways before but they make sense to me and I feel like it has helped simplify the pathways between God and myself.

91. I have never had any doubt about God. I would sit in church listening to the sermons and know that the things that were said had little connection to God, especially when they were judgemental and treated God as a separate entity to ourselves and it would make me feel angry that I allowed these men to stand between me and God. So I stopped allowing it. When I met Serge Benhayon and heard him speak I knew he knew God and the God he spoke about was my own father. It is very important for me to claim something I have known forever as a son of God. It is important to me to have a direct relationship with myself and know that that is the connection I have with God.

92. “I began to feel the truth of what I had heard Serge Benhayon present many times: that when we are fully present in our bodies we are connected to ourselves and to God”.
    How gorgeous is this and how beautifully expressed Karin.

93. It is through a loving relationship with my body that I have come to know God. He dwells within me.

    1. Beautifully said and very true Donna.

94. I love how you express yourself with such honesty and open-heartedness. Your sharing made me realise how so many of us try avoiding words ‘God’ and/or ‘religion’ and what they might represent while desperately keep seeking our selves somewhere out there. Bastardise these two words, we are not going to know who we truly are.

95. This is a great blog Karin, and super important at this time that we speak more openly about the falsity of religions today as we know them. I was also raised in a Catholic family, and I remember hating it (not kidding) as a child. Although this is a strong word, it really is the only word to use here. I loathed having to go to church every friday at school and give my confession, and I loathed having to dress up on sundays and go along with my family. It felt so so wrong. And the big empty building that felt so cold and void of any real connection was just that, a big old empty building.
    For me being raised catholic felt more like a punishment then a pleasure.
    Today I am very pleased to be a part of Universal Medicine. I have always known God, despite the Catholic way feeling so far from it, I knew he was within me and not out there telling me what to do as was my experience growing up. He was and is within me always very gently showing me the way through how I feel in response to my own choices in life. He does not punish, nor give me lines or penance to make up for a poor choice. Its more like, OK, thats not it, try it this way…with absolute understanding and love.
    I love what Universal Medicine teaches on both God and religion. It was a breath of fresh air from day 1 and just like coming home.

96. Our relationship with God and depression makes sense to me, There were many periods in my life when I would question life and these were the periods when life seemed worthless and I couldn’t see a point to it, like you Karin learning all this stuff at school to get a job…so what. Then the practicalities of life would kick in and I would get on with life as best as I could, but my questioning of what life was all about never really left me. It was only coming to Universal Medicine and understanding the true meaning of God that my questions were answered and the depression lifted.

97. When I was younger I used to consider the words ‘God’ ‘heaven’ and all of those sorts of words but never stayed on them or said them very much, or probably if I did it came as a most natural impulse and I didnt have any reservations about saying them. As I grew up i learned that these weren’t so okay to talk about and that in the families and friends groups I was involved with that it was preferred to deny the existence of God, or keep the knowing of him in the background and never have a daily interactive connection, life was all about doing stuff.

98. Wow, thanks for sharing Karin. I remember being young as well and seeing depression, slackness and given-up-ness in adults around and severely was wondering what is going on. I was taught also that God was something that I had to be quiet about, and it was okay to talk about Religion, God, feelings or any of that.

99. Karin, I love that you write that ‘God is not separate from me.’

    Just in this moment I feel that truth deeply, and also see so clearly how evil is religion that teaches us that God is separate from us, and worse still that we are nothing compared to Him.

    Your blog helps to shatter this myth. Thank you Karin!

100. “My attempts at avoiding what I felt to be the devastating possibility that the world was only what I could see and that there was no God or love, took me further from feeling love and God.” God is always there holding us in love and awaiting our return. It’s we who are responsible for the way that humanity is because of our irresponsibility when it comes to our choice to separate from ourselves and God.

101. “… to stay connected to God is to stay connected with my body…” What a simple way to describe and stay connected to true religion!

102. It is such a trap to believe in that god is something outside of us, it is disempowering. While having the knowing of that god is within us all is supporting us to be who we truly are, and share this with the world. God is that what we truly are, and we can have a connection with it all the time if we so choose.

103. Thank you Karin – “I realised that to stay connected to God is to stay connected with my body” – it can be that simple, forever a choice to connect to the grandness we are from and are a part of, intrinsically so, altogether and never alone – there is such beauty in this and sometimes it feels too much but it’s not, it’s the Truth and acceptance is key.

104. To look around and confirm that we do not have access to God or love is terrible since leaves us empty and with no direction. We have no true anchor. We cannot live in a way that we know is true. So, we try and try and make life about relief. We seek relief from living a life that we know is not it.

105. I agree with this..”This means that any doubt that I am a Son of God or thinking I am not worthy, hampers, if not prevents, my connection to God.” As soon as we go here we should realise these are warning bells going off, ringing out to us that we are off track and falling for the illusion of our smallness.

106. I felt the joy of this for myself. I could feel I was a part of God and I realised that to stay connected to God is to stay connected with my body.

107. Such a powerful blog on the simplicity of staying fully present in our bodies invites a deeper connection with God. This is certainly something I am developing more in my own life – thank you for the beautiful reminder Karin.

108. When I claim the truth that God is in me and I am in God, to hold ourselves, we are to know we are ‘Divine’ and forever loving Beings – there can no longer be any abuse of any kind.

109. As a young child I grew up in the Catholic religion, I really wanted to please God, but the fear of being cast out by God was ever present so I endeavoured to be good, to be safe, but the times I felt I dis pleased God, were filled with remorse for deeds done and despair at God’s displeasure. I left this religion many years ago but this feeling, that I was a sinner ran deep within my body unknown by me up until a few years ago. Today I feel so blessed and thankful to Serge for bringing to light the true religion, that God lives within me, I am his child, I am love (not a sinner)and enveloped by this love, and living a life of gradually claiming this as my truth. Thank you Karin.

     1. Although I was brought up under no formal religion, there was always this vague discomfort and anxiousness lurking around that constantly confirmed ‘I had done something wrong’ with me being super critical of myself because of this. I agree with you in full Jill Steiner regarding true religion, my life choices have changed dramatically since being inspired by Serge Benhayon to know God within and not some nebulous figure ready to pounce and punish from outside of myself..
        “Today I feel so blessed and thankful to Serge for bringing to light the true religion, that God lives within me, I am his child, I am love (not a sinner) and enveloped by this love, and living a life of gradually claiming this as my truth.”

110. It is very empowering to consider and further to deeply feel how simple it is for each and every one of us to re-connect with God through the simple act of re-connecting to our bodies. This shows how crazy it is to think God is so far from us when all it is in that moment is us not choosing to re-connect and honour our body

111. Serge Benhayon presents The Way of the Lvingness as a way to live to re-connect to my inner-heart and feel the immense love I have within me and know that this love is God’s love, He is in me and I live in His love, this brings true joy and dispels the sadness that I felt in missing me and the love of God within and all around me and all of us.

112. I also love listening to the way Serge Benhayon talks about God. It has allowed me realise that there has been so much untruth, interpretation and absolute garbage spoken about God, that has been put between me and knowing him. God must shake his head and laugh at the outrageous things that are said.

113. This is beautiful Karin, I love your story of discovery. God is not a separate entity, but a father with a part in us all.

114. The relationship with ourselves is so significant, but it is the one relationship that is missing in society and not really talked about. We can get very busy searching, but it is just a footstep and a gentle breath away.

115. It is so beautiful that the blog you read inspired you to write so honestly about your relationship with God and your ever developing understanding and appreciation of trusting what you feel to be true rather than the thoughts or emotions that can mislead you. In the stillness, the connection and feelings are clear and the truth of God, undeniable.

     1. Yes, Samantha – an amazing blog has been ‘birthed’ through Karin being so inspired from another blog. Another confirmation of just how totally inter-connected everything and everyone is and everything we do has an impact on the all. Trusting ourselves and appreciating the innate infinite well of stillness within develops the deeper relationship with ourselves and thus God.

116. “What I am also appreciating is the fact that the only way to know God is to claim who I am (and who we all naturally are) to be one with Him”
     This is very beautiful Karin and resonates powerfully with me.
     I often ponder what it is that takes me away from truly feeling, knowing and acting upon this divine truth.

117. Huh. I’ve never thought about it that way before. But it makes sense. I’ve never known a person who has a connection to themselves and so a connection to God be depressed.

118. This is a great point you have raised and a truly beautiful claiming Karin – thank you. I can remember becoming melancholic when I was younger around the age of 13 – 14. And I can see now that it was because the magic of God and nature that I felt was not being lived or even appreciated or recognised by most of the adult world. My Dad held this wonderment to some degree with nature but not so much with God. And as I was developing into an adult I could feel this was the world I was being asked to be a part of, a world absent of recognising and living with a connection to God and nature. That this magic was something that I would have to separate from, to leave behind so to speak, to fit in. Which I did, but there always remained a deep sense of God which I constantly overrode and it was through my connection with nature that I was able to hold this faint sense. As a result I lived with a huge amount of anxiety for most of my life which drove me to chase all sorts of ideals that I believed would bring the answers and relieve my constant uneasiness. I now have begun to re-claim that I am in truth a divine Son of God, as know that within we all equally are, and my connection to God within deepens every day as I choose to return to living in union with the love that I know I am.

119. Karin I have never thought of the connection between depression and our connection to God but I think you are on to something. With the support of Universal Medicine, I have reconnected to knowing God is within me and I can say a level of depression I had most of my adult life has lifted. This relationship with God has allowed me to trust life more and know I am never alone.

120. So true Karin, when I connect with my body deeply, tenderly I can feel the sacredness of God within, a love and joy too grand to be contained….all expansive….all inclusive.

121. I love the simplicity with which you explain our connection to God, “I could feel I was a part of God and I realized that to stay connected to God is to stay connected with my body.” God is not something outside of us, but is part of us, and with us all the time.

122. Beautifully said Karin.

     All the doubts, ideals and scare mongering that goes on in world as concerns God are such a set up. Through subscribing to them we are indeed taken further away from our own soul and our own connection to God.

     And, in a world where we are all taught to trust only what we can see and is tangible it is so easy to be affected by doubt.

123. It’s amazing how religions don’t allow us to connect with the truth of God. I remember giving up on believing in God when I was younger because I couldn’t feel any truth in any of the religions that talked about God. I have since began to believe and re connect with God again, why should I hold onto any shame about connecting with something that is so natural?

124. God is everywhere and once I let go of all the imposed religious beliefs of what and who God has been made out to be a source of energy being something big or higher than me then I started to truly feel God within me. God is undeniable true Love in all sense of the true meaning and this I can have anytime, anyway, any day it is my choice to live equally with this and accept what is possible. We are brothers.

     1. Yes, I agree with you Natalie. Choosing to bring more awareness to my body I began to fell more of the imposed religious ideals and beliefs and thus expose and work on them.
        From this I could feel the truth of God being within me rather than denying this as before.
        “God is undeniable true Love in all sense of the true meaning and this I can have anytime, anyway, any day it is my choice to live equally with this and accept what is possible. We are brothers”.

125. I felt so inspired reading your blog Karin. And wish to express so much. But one aspect I felt was how many religious institutions say it is blasphemous if one claimed they were equal to God. I feel incredible pain when I realise this because as you beautifully express, thinking we are not worthy or equal destroys our relationship with God. This is pure evil because it stops us from evolving to true harmony and brotherhood and is the ultimate self harm to not understand that we are all incredible and divine humans, equal with God and when connected we expressing in and with God. This connection is our true religion – and unifies each and every atom and being in the universe. Once I connected to this my body just knew it was the absolute truth and that without any shadow of a doubt I am a Son of God.

126. I agree Karin, bastardised versions of religion will always suggest that God is ‘out there’ somewhere, high in the sky completely unreachable. I now know God to be within me and to reject myself is to reject Him and this is simply not the way. I am loved beyond measure, and I know it is so important for me to deeply love respect and care for myself as well. This gives my life meaning and purpose knowing that I am a son of God.

127. I can relate to what you share because I know from my own experience that feeling that there is no God there or that there is one there but I am not connected with Him unless I go to church or see a priest or something, to be one of the most disempowering feelings I have ever felt. God is within us and every cell in our body knows this and thus we are always connected to God we just have to honour it.

     1. I feel this too Joshua – God is within me already – and to feel this is it simple a choice to stay connected to my body by honouring it.

     2. Totally Josh… If we have to seek outside of ourselves.. go to church and do things to be with God then this is just like everything else in life where we are constantly seeking, searching for something from outside of ourselves to fill us up and we are forever left unsatisfied.

128. Yes, Karin it is only our thoughts and emotions that can lie and for a long time I have lived a lie, following ideals and believes, doubts etc. I am claiming my connection with God, and thus with myself. I know this connection to be true. I say and feel in my body that I am religious.

129. Feeling not worthy, I can either find other people who feel the same, and thus feel comfortable and stay stuck in my unworthiness, or I can hang around other people who seem to have it more together in the hope that I will become like them. Either way I am not claiming myself nor connecting to my true self that lies hidden under this blanket of depression. As I take responsibility for myself I find that there is no separation between me and others. We are all one, begins to make sense and the presence of God is felt in every aspect of my being and my life.

130. wow, linking being in full realisation of who you are to a direct relationship to God.

131. This is a very pertinent blog Karin. The pain of loneliness and despair come when we feel alone. If we were to build an absolute knowing that we are never alone, that we are always with God that emptiness would not be able to allow space for loneliness and despair.

     1. So true Lucy Dahill. With re-connecting and having a deeper awareness of our body, it is simple and effortless to know, without doubt that God is always within and only a breath away.

     2. ‘We are never alone’ – knowing this assists us to feel ourselves in truth and the uniqueness of what we each bring, forever supported by God.

     3. Well said Lucy.. and if there was no room for loneliness and despair then imagine what the world would be like to live in!

     4. Well said Lucy! I have felt that many times and in contrast also, to when I am feeling disconnected and alone – I know which one I prefer! When I am connected to God I can feel all things are with me and that there is no shortage (or the feeling that I am going to run out anything). There is no lack only a serenity and satisfying feeling that all is as it should be.

132. Hi Karin, before coming to a Universal Medicine presentation it never occurred to me that God could be anything other than outside of me – I now know differently and your line says it for me ‘it is only I who separate from this connection when I am not claiming who I truly am.’ How true this is.

133. I also feel how the whole concept of god being outside of us or in the church more than the forest never made sense to me .To understand that god is within every man/woman equally and its just a matter of making the choices to connect to our inner hearts to the best of our abilities and feel that connection makes more sense to me .

134. ‘I began to feel the truth of what I had heard Serge Benhayon present many times: that when we are fully present in our bodies we are connected to ourselves and to God.’
     Thank you Karin for writing this blog and sharing your knowingness of God.
     When I am connected and fully present in my body I RE-member that I am with GOd. We ALL are.
     Serge Benhayon has inspired me to understand this and I will be forevermore appreciative. ✨✨

135. After a lifetime of not claiming who I am, as I slowly start to connect and claim who I am, I feel god’s love and grace within me. Thank you Karin for you inspiring blog.

136. Amazing blog Karin, and a great point you’ve made about how religions all put God as being outside of ourselves and thus preventing us from truly knowing God. I rejected all religions and God for a very long time, and now I can see why, as none of them taught or allowed for the fact that God is within each and every one of us.

137. Reading your blog again Karin, and also many of the comments is very touching. I remember as a child lying in bed at night and asking myself what happened to ‘me’ when I died. I understood that my body would no longer be, but I couldn’t understand where ‘I’ went. I had an understanding back then that there was more to me than just my body but it created anxiety within me because I didn’t know where to go for an answer.

138. God is always with us, but many times due to our choices and ways of being in the world, we are not with him. Love how you put this so simply Karin, to be consciously present in your body is to be with God and in direct relationship with him.

139. Karin I share your experience, as a child feeling that the way God was taught made him unreachable. The Ageless Wisdom has supported me to connect and honour my body, and to know that God is within.

140. Although at times through my life I tried to convince myself that there was no God, If I am to be honest I always knew there was, just not the jealous, angry god with only one son.

     1. I am absolutely with you Kev, like you I could never relate to God as portrayed by the church but I always had a sense that there was something grander that at times I could connect to. I did not fully realise what this was until meeting Serge Benhayon and attending his presentations. As Karin says in this blog, “when we are fully present in our bodies we are connected to ourselves and to God.”

141. I feel as though I have been searching and waiting for something my whole life and remember being as young as 14 years old feeling depressed about life.
     By the age of 18 I was very alone and disconnected to everyone and went to find the answers within the local churches, but the people didn’t fit my picture of how church people should act to each other and I became disillusioned with that and thought to try the Spiritual New Age healing modalities.
     So in my 40’s I also discovered the answers weren’t there either – the things that stood out for me were things like favouritism, grabby with money, teachers throwing tantrums and people being unkind to each other – it’s as though my eyes were opened and I realised I had to stop searching for the answers in the Spiritual New Age and the churches. So I did and two years later I was introduced to Serge Benhayon and I knew from the first day that I had found the truth and I never had the feeling of being in the wrong place since that day.

142. God and religion was just one of the many things I can only guess that my parents felt that my sisters and I should be educated in. It was values past down through cultures and families. When did the questioning come? ​It​was normally repressed by various methods throughout time​, ​heaven forbid if you questioned these beliefs. God has always been within us all. We have been listening to used car salesmen selling religion for far to long.

143. “I could feel I was a part of God and I realised that to stay connected to God is to stay connected with my body.” I have learnt that I do have a relationship with God through looking after my body. It feels deeply sacred to have this connection and a cake or a hot chocolate just to do hold the same appeal now I have re-gained something as precious as this…Thank you for sharing Karin.

144. There is no need to look outside of ourselves for God, but I did for many years feeling a bit lost having walked away from organised Religion . It wasn’t until I came across Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon and the Teachings of the Way of the Livingness that I felt Finally I was Home. Great blog Karin.

145. Karin, like you, the way Serge Benhayon speaks of God and ‘his obvious direct relationship with God’, has inspired many to open themselves up to the possibility that they too ‘could have a direct relationship with God.’ Serge presents the true meaning of religion, which has been known by the Ancient Wisdom teachings for thousands of years. This is why so many recognise the truth of it in their bodies once we re-connect.

146. Simple and brilliant, what keeps us away from God is thinking that we are separate, a very clever way to keep us disempowered. Once we realise that we are all one and the same, our connection to God becomes our connection ourselves – and it all starts to make sense.

147. I yearned to feel God as a child, but imagined I simply could not. As a little one I read the Old Testament with horror, as the vengeful being portrayed there made no sense in the light of the exquisite beauty of nature. How could God make snails and worms and be so mean? Later, when I took myself to church as a teenager, he was a chimerical being – by turns loving, judgemental, harsh and placing demands on our worthiness. I could not put this together in a way that made sense.
     It is through the Way of The Livingness that I came to understand God through my relationship with myself and my body, an activity that is my religion.
     How much had I absorbed that story of God’s judgement!? It was all throughout me, like poisoned strands around my heart, all of them making me feel that I was unworthy of my own love, let alone God’s.
     But it was never God who was judging me…it was always and only me using made up stories about him as ammunition against myself.
     And so this is my time of reclamation – reclaiming my relationship with myself as more than worthy through this body of mine, and at the same time reclaiming my relationship to God.
     He was always there, awaiting my attention with the patience of the Ages.

148. Thank you Karin, so cool to read this blog. At the end this line sneaks in and feels so powerful “I am realising that many religions are based on God being not part of us and so, in effect, they prevent people from knowing God.” Instead of being holy reading this, I am feeling how God is wholly – in you and me and everything equally.

     1. No holes Joseph. 🙂

149. “to stay connected to God is to stay connected with my body” … Very powerful and simple words Karin.

150. Awesome. Anything that wants to describe God as separate to me is a disconnection to myself and God and therefore not true and not true religion. Awesome, awesome, awesome!

     1. I agree Amanda – ‘Awesome, awesome, awesome!’ ten times over at least.
        Knowing and feeling the huge difference between disconnection and re-connection to myself is supporting me to deepen my personal relationship with God and discern what is true religion. So simple.

151. Thanks Karin. I always knew god was real but not truly explained or represented by the various religions. I am only now reestablishing my connection with god through my connection with self.

152. Wow Karin, God has never separated from me but it is I who choose to separate that is a revelation!

153. Karin, you are right in that plenty of the many religions out there put God on a pedestal. Because of my resistance to that claim, to giving my power away to something greater than me, I saw religion as evil for a very long time. And one could argue I was right – in seeing the separation it causes in the world.
     But what I know now to be true, is that God is within us, simply supporting us to bring more love into humanity, no separation, and living as our true selves.

154. I remember as a child being very confused about God. I had no doubt that God was real but there was so much contradiction in what I was told from church, school and family about who God was and how he felt about us that I did not feel worthy of having a relationship with him. I believed God was outside of me. I felt that there was something about me that was bad and wanted desperately for someone to confirm my divinity. Through the esoteric healing modalities and attending the Way of the Livingness sermons I have healed many of these ill beliefs that have kept me separate from God. I have felt tangibly the exquisite stillness that lives within me and know this is a confirmation that God lives inside me and everyone of us equally. “I could feel I was a part of God and I realised that to stay connected to God is to stay connected with my body.” Thank you Karin for this very healing article.

     1. Beautifully expressed Bianca – I can relate to what you write, from confusion as a child and feeling unworthy, until to finally attending presentations in 2008 with Serge Benhayon. These presentations have inspired me to make different choices and now I see things differently – it is only possible to feel unworthy when focusing on God as external to me.

155. For me the stardard religions – regardless of where they came from never made sense, nor did the idea of no God at all. I have always held the belief that there was something grander, some sort of being larger than human life, but the part I had faltered on was believing that that grandness was outside of me, not on the planet but elsewhere. When you say that you have felt in that connection to your body you have felt God I can also say has been my experience since continuing to learn about the true meaning of religion as presented by Universal Medicine. Thank you Karin for the reminder that God is not somewhere above us but right here within us 🙂

156. What you share here Karin about God always being within us and our own choice to separate from that is profoundly beautiful to feel because it brings us back to our free will to make choices; and our ability to make each choice from an acceptance and a joy of who we are. It also deeply reminds me that even if I make a choice to separate I know that God hasn’t actually gone anywhere, his consistency is so solid that when I choose connection again he (of course) is always there.. A confirmation that the love that is always on offer, is exactly that.. always on offer and it is my responsibility to choose the love I know to be true.

157. Karin thank you for your beautiful blog, especially the words ‘… there is always a connection, and it is only I who separate from this connection when I am not claiming who I truly am.’ For me God became real when I met Serge Benhayon and could see Love in action – and so the fact that we are Sons of God became a lived reality. I have watched people gradually (and sometimes dramatically) transform before my eyes as they have claimed this fact. The biggest lesson has been dropping the notion that this is a spiritual quest, and realising that God and soul is omnipresent and resides within; and is connected to via my body – that the body is indeed our ‘temple’, and our means of expressing God on earth.

158. Hello Karin, thank you for this blog about religion, truth and God. Overflowing with gems of gold, you simply embody the ease of being in connection with God, and what this requires. Very empowering to read, that it is not about blaming God on the outside, but about claiming you are equal to God and taking responsibility. Universal Medicine – thank you for all that you present.

159. To know that God actually resides within goes against all religious teachings of the Catholic Church even though the bible clearly states ‘the Kingdom of heaven is within you’. To love and honour the body is to honour God and therefore have a vehicle in which the light of this divinity can shine through. To love the self becomes love for all as we live in a way that supports this.

160. Karin, I could read this over and over. The importance of connecting to ourselves to connect to God is the missing key for many, and had been for me until Universal Medicine. I had much the same experience growing up as you, but now when I feel my past sadness, I can see how I was missing me, and in turn God.

161. It never made sense to me ever that the only path to God was through the current established religions and the houses for our worship they created. How could this possibly be so controlled by a few who had everyone else at their mercy? Where can God possibly be in all that when Jesus taught us the kingdom of God is within us all? What is so beautiful about the Way of the Livingness is it gives me the space to feel my own personal connection with God amongst a congregation who is doing the same.

162. As a teenager I looked at all the different religions and felt that there was a bases of truth that was there but that what religion had made of it was very wrong. I became very anti-relgion and never thought about god again (although I always felt there was definitely more I just did not have words for it.) until Serge Benhayon used the word God. At first I reacted strongly but felt what he shared to be true. I just thought we should call it something else. Anything but God! These days I have found go, and embraced the word, within my self. It is everything I always knew it should be and much more. Thank you Serge Benhayon for showing me the way home!

163. I too was inspires by Serge’s simple but fundamental everyday connection to God. That god is within us all and we connect to God by looking after our body.

164. What a great demonstration of the fact that “the kingdom of God is inside us”, and that it is through the body that we realise our true nature and purpose in life and the fact of God.

     1. It’s only when I feel deeply connected to my body and my being that I feel the kingdom of God … otherwise I am just not aware of it.. Your comment rounds out the blog so well Gabrielle and presents very simple what the blog is stating. I love it.

165. God is with us all the time, when we choose to disconnect from our body we are choosing not to connect to God. When we connect to our body, the connection to God is very clear and strongly felt in the body.

166. “That God is not separate from me, and in this, that there is always a connection, and it is only I who separate from this connection when I am not claiming who I truly am.” What you have described here Karin is my experience too. When I am connected with me, feeling the beauty of me, I too feel and experience God. This is a far cry from growing up in a religion where I was always looking for God outside of myself only to feel further and further away from him, but always knowing that he was there. I was just looking outwards instead of within.

167. Thank you Karin, all you have shared is revelatory. It feels to me the missing link for all that the world shows it to be. Yet the connection to God is not ever not there to be felt, as you have so beautifully relayed, it is only missed when we separate ourself from being one with Him.

168. ‘God is not separate from me’, that is so true. In the catholic school that I attended God was a judgmental man that allowed abuse to everyone. I did not believe this as a child and it confused me. After many years of searching I know and feel that God is within and as Karin said in the blog ‘God is not separate from me’.

169. It is also true to me, that I know my connection with God through my body. My mind can only think of it, but my body can feel it.
     It is tragic that we are conditioned to value the mind over the body, and not trust a truth that the body feels because the mind cannot explain it.

     1. And it is no coincidence that we are taught to value the mind as intelligence over the body, for how much in our world would have to change, how much abuse and selfishness would have to cease if we were to fully embrace the fact that the body is intelligent before the mind. . . Can you imagine the harmony and love that would be lived between us as a humanity if this were the case?

        1. So beautifully expressed cheriseholt and leaving me so much to ponder on. A world full of harmony and love – wow – how wonderful to feel that amazing possibility!

        2. Yes we have been manipulated for so long and we have believed the lies. Giving our power away to the idea that the mind is more valuable then the body has been one of the biggest illusions within humanity.

170. “I am realising that many religions are based on God being not part of us and so, in effect, they prevent people from knowing God. ” I agree Karin. I watched a program yesterday on Peter and Jesus and I could feel parts that were so true, yet at the same time there was much presented that was not, it was clearly a way to keep us from knowing the truth about God, and the same grandness we are all from. It also hid the truth about Peter and Jesus and the lineage they are from, and how that carried on after Jesus died.

     1. I agree with Karin as well Gylrae; it was a way to keep us from knowing the truth of God, and it is still the case now.

171. “to know and trust my true, innermost feelings and that these do not lie to me – it is only my thoughts and emotions that can lie.” This is such a powerful and simple line. I know many times I have and still can do, have a debate with my thoughts which just complicates things and takes me away further from truth, the truth being what I feel and my body shares with me so clearly. I am realising more and more that by listening to my thoughts or emotions is avoiding the power and grandness I know is inside me and not accepting responsibility. It’s just a game I have knowingly played.

     1. I agree, it is so lovely to feel this Gyl. I am choosing to be so much more aware of the feelings in my body and these are instantaneous – the next step is consistently expressing from my body exactly what I am feeling in the moment. There are times that I can still get caught up in the old attitude of ‘a rabbit caught in the headlights’ syndrome and feel completely immobilised and unable to speak. It feels so horrible in my body when I choose this now, so I am speaking up and expressing from my body more than ever before.

172. I love this line Karin ” I realised that to stay connected to God is to stay connected with my body.” This is so true. When we are connected to our body we can’t help but feel God within us, around us and in all we do.

173. An amazing revelation Karin,of the true connection we all have with God. It makes sense that God never left us but in fact we just disconnected from the truth of who we are; that we are all the sons of God, equally so.
     I love what you expressed Karin by ‘staying connected to my body, I stay connected to God’ and my inner most does not lie, only my thoughts and emotions do. What a lovely sermon you have given us Karin.

     1. I fully agree with you Andrew, this is a very inspiring and lovely sermon presented by Karin, which reveals more every time I re-read it.

174. Thank you Karin, finding a true connection to God is something very profound as you say. I used to think God was an ‘out there’ concept that had half the world hoodwinked into some mythical idea. Interestingly enough though when I first heard Serge Benhayon talk of God, I had not an ounce of hesitation or doubt that what he presented was absolute truth, it made perfect sense and resonated with me so deeply that I have never doubted again. I have since developed a strong connection to God that I feel every day… but it is a very personal and private relationship and not one that requires any sort of reverence, building or congregation in order to feel.

175. I didn’t spend much time wondering about religions or gods anything like that it never made sense the way it was presented, although what I did feel was a vast depth of knowing that there was so much more to life and there is

176. I love your last sentence a lot- when you are not claiming yourself you are disconnecting from God. So true.

     1. YES well said and thanks for pulling out this line Steffi… it’s super eye-opening and very true…

177. As I deepen my relationship with myself and the connection and awareness with my body, I know without any trace of doubt my relationship with God is growing in equal measure – The days of seeking outside of myself are long gone since attending presentations by Serge Benhayon of Universal Medicine which have inspired me to come back to the truth of all that I am – Love.

     1. So beautifully expressed Stephanie, thank you
        I loved rereading your blog Karin, such a simple yet oh so powerful message.

178. Karin I too used to think God was outside of me. Like you with what Serge Benhayon has presented on what true religion is, I now know God is also within which is a true support in my daily life.

179. Hi Karin,
     I have always thought that God was elsewhere, something impossible to find or fathom, but at the same time having a yearning to find it. When you say…”I could feel I was a part of God and I realised that to stay connected to God is to stay connected with my body”…I feel an enormous sense of relief in the knowing that we not only come from God, we ARE God and it is truly, simply a choice to re-connect and feel our bodies and know that through this deepening connection we will find our way back home again. Thank you to the Way of the Livingness, and thank you Karin.

180. What the church teaches is so far away from truth that it is not strange that a lot of people get lost in seeking god outside and finding only emptiness in themselves. But actually it is so simple to feel that we are a part of god and always have this love within us.

     1. What you say here Benkt is so true. I spent my childhood feeling a connection with God that came from within, but because I was brought up a Catholic, I then looked for God outside of myself which just didn’t make sense, but yet I continued to do so. Within this, I separated more and more from me and from God, by thinking that God was somewhere else that I wasn’t.

        1. Yes we are ‘lead’ to be believe that God is OUT there. Unobtainable and therefore separate. What a trick. When we remember GOd is within… We reconnect with the knowingness that we are all ONE.

     2. I completely agree Benkt. Continually looking outside for what is within – this ensures that it will never be found.

        1. Yes Lee this is something that I have fallen for hook line and sinker. I was always looking for God everywhere outside of myself. As Mary has mentioned in her comment, whilst being raised a Catholic, I thought it was the priest that had direct access to God. When I was at boarding school, it was the nuns who had access to God. I never thought, until The Way of the Livingness, that it is possible for me (along with everyone else) to have access to God.

     3. What a sweet line to read. Thank you Benkt.. that’s assuring that we can never be lost because we always can connect to ourselves and feel our love and feel God within us.

181. I never doubted God, only myself and my worthiness – a common theme for the religious. This is what in fact the established religions rely on to keep you hooked in and part of the church. I knew the church wasn’t for me from a young age. Despite the loving aspects of community it can bring, I knew it wasn’t it in regard to my relationship and connection to God. It wasn’t until The Way of the Livingness was presented to me that I felt I could come back to accepting my religious nature that never left me and to address my self doubt and lack of self worth in relationship to God. I had been checking out of my body for a very long time in varying ways. I now know the body is the marker of truth, where my connection to God resides.

     1. Suzanne this is powerful .. ‘ I never doubted God …. Only myself and my worthiness’ and so true. The religions rely on our doubt and we remain hooked.
        Re-connecting to our bodies and true essence releases the hooks and allows us our own understanding of God within.

182. This is a beautiful blog Karin. I have been exploring my own relationship with God lately and feeling how I have allowed outside influences to tell me what is right and wrong with regards to God, and this has impacted my relationship with God – and therefore myself. Your blog brought it back so simply and has allowed me to feel more deeply the beautiful connection I have within me, and to simply allow this and love it as feels so natural to do.

183. I learned through the teachings of Serge Benhayon that God is simply that beautiful love that is in my heart, always has been there, always will be. My beautiful Grandmother had been telling me that God was love all of my life but it came with a religion that didn’t feel right to me. Universal Medicine presented it in a way that was just about me, about everybody, about our love with nothing else to it. Once I got that, and God was no longer a man that was love in the sky that I could ask for help when I felt scared, I began to develop a much more real and very deep relationship with God… with myself. That love that is so there inside of me is what I go to for help when I am scared now, with God and with myself.

184. Knowing God from the inside, with my connection is very different from how I was taught. It feels real and true to embody and truly feel my connection to the Love of God from within.

185. As I read your blog Karin I question why this is not taught in schools. We have time for religion classes why not make them about the truth. We all have a relationship with God, one we can personally explore for ourselves within. Kids and teenagers are screaming for answers yet we are not responding with the true love and responsibility they deserve.

186. Well said Karin, thank you for sharing your unfolding and your re-connecting to God and yourself.

187. I love what you say Liane – God never stops loving us – it is us who have chosen to walk away from his love, by not loving ourselves. Once we re-connect to the fact that we all are the equal sons of God we can feel God again. And he has always been there, patiently waiting for us to come back.

188. Great blog Karin and a great reminder of the importance of truly claiming oneself as it is through this connection that we get to know God. I love your line “..there is always a connection and it is I who separate from this connection when I am not claiming who I truly am.”

189. Yes Bernadette, He is in every cell! Thank you Karin for such a luminous explanation of our natural connection to God, when we are still and connected to ourselves, just being.

190. Karin, this is a gem of a blog and like others even when we question the existence of God we are looking for God ~ rather looking for our true selves! I can so relate to this and know God to also be within me, in every cell!

191. Karin, it is not surprising that we have all been looking for God outside of us because from as young as most of us can remember our gaze has been drawn away from our bodies. We have been bamboozled, conned, tricked into looking here, there and everywhere apart from the one place that God is…………inside. What a perfect set up. Until now. Because now more and more of us are remembering that God is within and we are spreading the word far and wide. So let it be known God is, has always been and shall always be in our inner hearts. Long live the Kingdom of Heaven !

     1. Well said stewara5 – a very inspiring comment to read. The biggest changes in my life have come from beginning to see through the illusion of the ‘set up’ we have all been living in and from this know that God is absolutely within me and every other person equally so. Serge Benhayon’s presentations continue to deeply inspire me to feel and know this way is true.

192. As a child I was the same as you Liane, I didn’t need a name – I could just feel God in me and all around me. It was only the religious – particularly the catholic take on him that put him as something greater than me and outside of me. I found this confusing but I never swallowed it – Thank God – pun intended!

     Much later in life I strengthened my relationship again with God with the help of the simple supportive presentations of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
     I reconnected to what I knew as a child – as Karin so wisely wrote:
     ‘I could feel I was a part of God and I realised that to stay connected to God is to stay connected with my body. As a result I am now beginning to feel that God is in fact within us all – all of the time – and that we are all equal.’ Just beautiful Karin thank you.

     1. I had no relationship to God as a child, neither did anyone in my family. We just existed.

193. A beautiful blog and great sharing

194. I remember as a child knowing there was a god, like I had some inkling, and I tried talking to him in some way. Then that was lost cause all the religions didn’t really make sense and my parents never spoke about god either. So god was kinda there, in the background, but never explained, talked about or mentioned much. Real religion now… the fact that god is part of who I am and I am a part of god, feels like what I felt when I was a kid… Knowing god was there all around me.

195. I love re-reading this article, specifically this sentence “when we are fully present in our bodies we are connected to ourselves and to God.” It reminds me of how God / Love and the Universe are all inside me now, all I have to do is connect, and be with my body and my being in a way that supports this connection.

     1. I feel expanded just feeling the truth that ‘God/Love and the Universe are all inside me NOW’. Thank you Danielle.

     2. I love re-reading this article too Danielle – the continual reminder of the pure simplicity of our presence and connection to ourselves IS the connection to ‘God /Love and the universe’. No seeking, no doing, just being.

196. There was something very wrong about the religion that had been pushed and sold to me. I too can relate to the fact that it didn’t feel right or true. There was something very subservient about they way it made me feel. I reintroduced God into my life by understanding what felt right with talking about it, listening to Serge Benhayon talk and listening to my body. It was then easy, I could feel it and touch the Livingness of what it felt like to be in connection. A great blog you write Karin, thanks for bringing up the conversation.

197. Beautiful last line Liane, worthy of a repeat, yes you can “choose” to stop loving God but God never stops loving you. All the more reason to love God.

198. Karin I could relate so much of your blog. It’s such an important key you mention, that if you stay connected to yourself you stay connected to God.

199. Great blog Karin, thank you. I was taught that God is judgmental and if I wasn’t ‘good’ then I would feel God’s anger and wouldn’t get what I wanted. I couldn’t understand why, when I was ‘good’, that God didn’t give me what I wanted (a special toy, happiness, a boyfriend etc). Now, after attending Universal Medicine courses and workshops, I understand that I am God and God is me, and if I don’t get what I want (simplistically speaking) then it is my responsibility.

200. To connect with God is to be present with your body. How simple and lovely. As human beings we make everything so complicated. It feels so great to be able to move away from all the obstacles to God, that I have allowed, and to feel the truth.

201. “I am now pondering upon a definite correlation between depression and one’s relationship with God…”: This is valuable to share, with the world, to consider our own relationship with God, a great blog to ponder.

202. This is so healing to read Karin, “I could feel I was a part of God and I realised that to stay connected to God is to stay connected with my body. As a result I am now beginning to feel that God is in fact within us all – all of the time – and that we are all equal. I never stopped to feel this in the past, or if I did I ignored it.” It is so easy to ignore, because it is far too hard for us to believe it is that simple! To have God within means he is always accessible and not out there to blame for all the woes in our lives.

     1. Yes, I am in agreement with this Rosanna – it is the simplicity that we fight against – blaming outside of ourself is easier than taking responsibility for things being the result of our own choices.

        1. That is true Stephanie, people blame outside of themselves because it is the easiest and most confortable way. Spot on!

203. Great blog Karin! It had me reflect on my life’s relationship with God and Religion. It started with Catholicism I.E. devout Catholic parents, schooling and church on Sundays which all felt cold and loveless. Next was the search for God through the mystical experiences induced by recreational drugs… Plenty of dazzling lights, colours and paranormal experiences but no God or love there. How about the spiritual new age for well over a decade… surely God is to be found somewhere in there? Nope… that was in fact the deepest illusion of God and inside I felt as needy and empty as ever. Then finally in my 40’s the simple teachings brought forth by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine re-awaken in me True Religion – Being fully aware, connected to and feeling my entire body, through to its innermost essence was where I could commune in and with the Love of God.

     1. Beautiful Rob, ‘connected to and feeling my entire body, through to it’s innermost essence was where I could commune in and with the Love of God.’ This is real, tangible, achievable and simple, nothing ‘out there’ or to give your power away to… just YOU!

204. Claiming the God within, not the God that is out there who makes everything happen. Love it!

205. Beautiful blog Karin, it makes so much sense that if God is in all of us, we can stay connected to Him simply by staying connected with ourselves.

206. Such a beautiful blog . Thank you Karin.

207. Thank you Karin for the lovely reminder of the power that we hold within ourselves to re- connect to our own divinity/ God through our own bodies and the quality of movement that we choose.

208. I really enjoyed reading your blog Karin; your journey of self discovery and finding God within each and everyone of us is powerful indeed. I was particularly struck by your words;
     “This means that any doubt that I am a Son of God or thinking I am not worthy, hampers if not prevents my connection to God”

209. In my adolescent years I often felt depressed, by the utter uselessness of life. What was the purpose of this strange existence? Disappointed and already resigned, I too went into abusing my body by partying a lot and all the other things that came with it. All those things just to be able to feel myself.
     What a difference in how I feel myself now! Choosing to fully commit to life, to fully be in my body, fully embracing the fact that I am love, makes me really feel how God is in me and I am in God. True connection, true religion.

210. Hi Karin,
     This is a very inspiring blog, I absolutely loved it, this knowing if truly embodied will transform your life and many others.

     1. Thank you Mary-Louise. What you say is so true.

211. It is a crime to me that people are not brought up knowing of their innate connection to and with God for as you have said so beautifully Karin, it is this that leads us to believe we are separate from Him. It is this doubt of ourselves as equal Sons of God that has wrought so much harm in the name of religion. Thank God for one such as Serge Benhayon who is living the Way for us all, claiming himself in full as a Son of God and for bringing back what religion truly means…..it is after all, what the world is in most desperate need of.

212. So true Karin, God is always with us…it is only us who choose to separate

     1. Spot on Sara.

213. This is very interesting Karin, as it explains so much. I was devoted to God as a child. the catholic church tainted my feeling of oneness with God so badly that I felt I had to abandon myself and God and found that as a result the impeding depression led me to an existence fueled by drugs and alcohol for quite a few years.
     When you really think of it the majority of the population is depressed and medicated in one way or the other.

214. Thank you Karin for sharing this. The joy of knowing God inside is the most wonderful gift I have ever had shared with me and came from the presentations and inspiration from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and the Way of the Livingness and the knowingness of this.

     1. Yes Tricia I agree. It’s amazing isn’t it?! When I don’t live in this way I feel terrible. When I do live in this way I’m awestruck at how possible it is. It’s so odd to me that love/ not love can be side by side and how I have free will to make my choice.

        Indeed, I have always had that choice even in those times I filled with despair I now feel I was surrounded by love. I was and am always loved but I choose not to see it, stubbornly so. I can still be stubborn!

215. “it is only my thoughts and emotions that can lie.” this is such a powerful, true and strong line.

216. It’s a beautiful feeling to know that god is not out side of us or too far up in the sky to reach, but is actually in us. To me this is very beautiful.

217. Your point Karen how you realised your connection with god is in direct relationship to you and your connection with your body – this rings home to me very much. The deeper I allow myself to feel my body the stronger I feel connected to god and more open to be in connection with everyone around me.

218. Beautiful that you found your connection to God – again. Reading your words, Karin, is like listening to my heart. So lovely.

219. Finding the connection and feeling it for yourself, awesome

220. This is such an awesome blog Karin. An inspiring story of coming home to yourself and to God through being in connection with your body. It is beautiful to read.

221. Hi Karin I really do love this blog and have read it several times now and each time I just love it more.

222. Beautiful sharing Karin, it says so much so simply. I realise also I had cut off from God being told he was somewhere out side of me I was not worthy of without sacrifice and punishment for being born bad. This lie was fed to me through religion and it was only through the teachings of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine presenting God lives inside us all through connecting to my body that I know this is true and that God is always there and always has been and that I have a relationship with him in the way I choose to live in fullness of who I am and anything less is not this love.

223. Thank you for sharing Karin, I also had a life long affair with food and through that also abused my body, I treated my body as if it was just a vehicle to carry me, to abuse and miss treat as I saw fit.
     As a child I did feel a very strong connection with God, I marvelled at my young strong body and was amazed in how beautiful and powerful I felt in Movement.
     The beautiful thing is that we all have access to GOD. “Just Look Inside”.

224. I had an aversion of the way God was put across prior to presentations from Universal Medicine. I could just not relate to the concepts put across. Now I can and my whole life is richer as a result. And exactly as you say I have been noticing that during the times that I allow thoughts of not being worthy, I start feeling more and more separate to God. This confirms to me that anything that promotes the belief that I am not worthy and tells me that I am any less divine than God is, can not possibly be speaking the words of God.

     1. Beautifully said Golnaz. I am beginning to realise I do feel words in my body and those words that invite me to separate from the love I so am,as you say, ‘can not possibly be speaking the words of God.’

225. I didn’t feel I had a real connection to religion or God growing up, my parents didn’t agree with the beliefs imposed by both the religions they were brought up in and did not want that for their children. Looking back now I am grateful that they made this commitment to what they felt as it allowed me to feel the possibility of God, without being told all different views on him.
     I love this, and I feel God when I also, trust my true feelings – “I am beginning to appreciate the truth of what it means to know and trust my true, innermost feelings and that these do not lie to me – it is only my thoughts and emotions that can lie.”

     1. Yes, this sentence really resonates deeply for me too Aimee. –
        “I am beginning to appreciate the truth of what it means to know and trust my true, innermost feelings and that these do not lie to me – it is only my thoughts and emotions that can lie.”

226. God always felt real to me as well and it was so confusing growing up knowing that what was presented to me via the Catholic religion didn’t match what I felt in my body.
     What Serge Benhayon presents matched what I felt growing up as child which you have expressed so well ” that God is not separate from me, and in this, that there is always a connection, and it is only I who separate from this connection when I am not claiming who I truly am”.

     1. Thank you for everyone who is sharing about their relationship with GOD when they were young. I also had a very real relationship with GOD when I was young. In our family we didn’t talk about GOD or religion so I was relatively free to have my own experience of GOD until primary school and then even less so at a Catholic high school. When I was young I would sometimes acknowledge my connection to GOD and actually think about it but other times and most of the time I just felt held by this big ray of sunshine that was very much the same as the ray of sunshine I felt inside myself. Interesting that for me this started to fade in primary school as I started to feel bad for feeling so good when I knew others were having a tougher time. Then further complication set in with catholic teaching of this GOD that was ominous and to be feared and something that was separate to us sitting above looking down ready to judge.

227. I was also raised in a Lutheran family going to church every Sunday and being given many different stories or versions of god – none of which felt true. God felt real to me but not in the way god had been presented through church and religion. I knew there was more than what I could see. Like you Karin, when I heard Serge Benhayon talk about god it made sense, he was talking from a very real connection with god, not an idea taught to him. I know god is real and I am developing my own connection to what or who god is. Thank you Karin for sharing your experience.

     1. Yes, I loved feeling how Serge Benhayon talked about God. Your comment has made me reflect what it was/is that I love about it. I felt the ease and absolute love shared between the two. This inspires me. I saw that it was possible to have an every day relationship that is familiar and normal.

        It’s funny because I was expanding this way being being possible with my relationships with people when an old saying/belief got in the way. It’s actually quite a strongly held belief I’d not taken much notice of: if you spend a lot of time with people then they’ll get on your nerves and so having time apart is necessary. I’d extended this logic to the less time I spend with people the more I’ll get on with them. This crazy logic is tied in with the saying absence makes the heart grow fonder.

        I’ve realised I’ve applied this to my relationship with God – I’ll be economical with my connection so as to not use up all my credit for times when I needed that connection the most. There’s something there that says I can’t have a full-time relationship with God, myself or others or we’ll get bored or irritated with one another because,sooner or later, I’ll discover something wrong with myself, someone or God(ah I know!). Talk about a great excuse for not working on issues and being more intimate! So far in trusting my relationships I’ve discovered only more love and there’s nothing that points otherwise at all.

228. There were varying beliefs in my family growing up, my father was an atheist, my mother went to church occasionally but I was the only one who believed in reincarnation! I just knew it was the only explanation that ever made any sense to me. Whilst I knew he was there, I never really forged a relationship with God, and now I know why. Until I met Serge Benhayon, I was not at all connected with myself.

229. I love this blog on so many levels… The line “so many religions are based on God being not part of us ” rings so true. God has been represented as an out there experience. I love that we are reminded that God is within each and every one of us, staying connected with my body helps to remind me of this. Thankyou.

230. “All the time I was looking for real religion and looking for God despite saying I didn’t believe there was a God.” This held for me too, although I was more agnostic in how I expressed, eg. I didn’t know if there is a God or not. However what I felt inside, a divine amazing place that was inviolable and that I could come home to no matter what awful stuff was ‘going down’ in my surroundings, was not explainable by a merely physical human existence devoid of God. There had to be something that explained it, and now I know. True religion is my connection with God within me.

     1. Beautiful Dianne. It is incredible that we live with this ‘divine amazing place’ inside and are able to ignore it for much if not all of our lives. I love your scientific approach to finding God within. Thank you for sharing.

231. I too rejected god – your line “All the time I was looking for real religion and looking for God despite saying I didn’t believe there was a God” is one that holds me. The list of distractions and removal from myself leading to depression and a ‘who cares’ attitude – until entering the Livingness just stuns me. Now caring for myself helps me appreciate the love and union with God.

     1. Well said Andrew. We all do know and crave to connect back with God; even when we’re not aware of it, simply because it’s who we are.

232. Universal Medicine presentations (and me living it) brought me back to god, because it brought me back to me.

     1. This feels really beautiful Sandra and so simple. (I’m starting to get the divinity in simplicity.)

     2. Agree Sandra

     3. Sandra. Could not agree more to your comments. Beautifully said.

     4. Sandra, your comment is so concise and simple and I can feel the truth of it. Isn’t it amazing how we all have contributed in some way in the past to complicate things.

     5. Simple but perfect Sandra. As always, simplicity leads the way.
