For many years I have not accepted being here, convinced that I have been born into the wrong country and even the wrong planet. The truth is, there is a deep knowing within that we are not from here. After I was able to let go of resisting and reacting, and with true understanding of why I have chosen to be here, life on earth became for me an education that I am committed to, as it provides the education for us all to truly graduate and return to where we are originally from.
One of the coolest things of Earth School is we can actually learn every moment, in everything we encounter.
There is no need to do anything special. We just have to show up and see the lesson.
This learning is called living; the education is known as Livingness.
The awesome thing about Livingness is it is not about tests or grades, recognition or rewards, there are no formulas to memorise or rely on… all we have to do is get in there and get on with life.
When we meet life in every moment with the wonder that we truly are, the moment reflects this true wonder back to us. In the course of our education, some subjects might seem harder than others – we sparkle less brightly and may even entertain thoughts that we have failed. These too are precious, as well as pivotal, moments. If we are ready for more to be revealed, we are offered a choice to see the lesson in more depth.
This is how our Earth School educates from Heaven’s Classroom.
There is no forceful spoon-feeding. Everyone is given exactly what they need to learn, to a level and depth that is relevant for more growth. Nothing can be learned ahead of time. No student can really be ahead of or behind another, for the power of what is learned is in everyone getting it, and no one can get it until they do.
There is never a shortage of courses to learn, projects to collaborate on, workshops to take us deeper and we do not have to go anywhere or do anything different. We are the courses, the projects, the workshops – the moment we see life and engage with it, we are learning. We bring forth wisdom and healing as we bring forth our true selves, and as we deepen the expression of who we are, so will the healing and wisdom grow. This way, we are living and learning the future every moment, each moment more than the last in a constant process of evolving.
We are forever students and teachers at the same time – there is no differentiation.
It is in this equality that we open ourselves to learn all there is to offer. We are each other’s tutorials when we get stuck; simply by being ourselves we provide a reflection for each other. We cannot truly ‘help’ another per se by telling them what to do, but we can hold another as an equal human being and allow them the spaciousness to feel and choose for themselves.
We make a difference by breathing our own breath; we are committed to teach and learn in honesty, integrity and responsibility, without any need to be perfect.
Awareness is our textbook – we teach, learn, correct, re-imprint with it. It supports our growth, our deepening, our expansion, and this evolution is what truly makes a difference.
So, for now, I willingly accept and truly enjoy studying in Earth School and learning from Heaven’s Classroom – the coolest education ever, because this is the education where evolution happens.

The Truth about Universal Medicine 
Even though we may think that we are not on the roster, a roll gets called every now and then. And it really is cool that all we need to do is to show up in life and get on with it. Nothing to achieve, nowhere to go, but just keep saying yes to the learning being offered. This for me is the only way to make sense of life on this planet. Otherwise, how come so many people withdraw from life and exist as though they just cannot wait for the day they drop dead? We can all sense somehow that we are not from here.
For me life became simpler and more enjoyable when I became more responsible and was open to the many opportunities that life was continuing offering me.
In life, those that move in and settle in a new place, tend to make everything possible to become like the settlers. It is called integration. No one questions this human behavior. It is seen as something positive and at the human level it is. Yet, we are more than human and we are trapped here because of our desire to be like old settlers. That cannot be called integration and cannot be said to be a positive thing.
I love how you mention “If we are ready for more to be revealed, we are offered a choice to see the lesson in more depth.” because we can see these moments as a ‘telling off’ and being wrong before we had the deeper understanding. This is not true though because there is a forever deepening when we are ready and no right or wrong. This is actually a great form of Love.
You can’t beat ‘Earth School’ as the greatest form of ‘institutional’ learning. Earth school provides the best classroom experience, with everything on hand to show, confirm and expose lived choices that either support learning and evolution or not. Whatever we may think about it, the semesters, terms and years keep cycling around and there is no ducking out, try as we might.
I wonder about the familiar feeling of not belonging to or feeling like we fit into the families that we are born into. Is this the tension of remaining true to ourselves or a pull back to reconnecting to a way of being that is true?
Life really does provide opportunities to learn, grow, to inspire each other and evolve. It’s quite magical really to see it all unfold day after day, it confirms the grand plan we are all a part of and the love behind it all. And what a lovely line; “We bring forth wisdom and healing as we bring forth our true selves”. So true!
What is reflected very strongly through what you have shared is that we simply cannot learn and evolve without each other, and as a humanity the more open we are to who we are within and with each other, the greater depths we can explore and live the true potential of our universal qualities.
Beautifully shared Carola, how often do we attribute learning to books and knowledge, instead of the living way and reflection another provides?
“The truth is, there is a deep knowing within that we are not from here.” Yes, a simple fact and so easily detected. How many of us do feel a stranger in our environment in whatever form this may be experienced, and what if this is due to this simple fact that we are all simply not from here.
I love that Serge Benhayon is always saying he is a forever student, being open to this continuous learning our awareness continually grows and expands.
As a teenager, I remember having the thoughts that it was all too hard and that life sucked on this planet, that I was never going to have children as it would be far too irresponsible to bring life to a planet that was so devoid of basic care let alone love! However, in opening up to the bigger picture and in allowing a greater awareness as to the purpose of life here everything started to make a lot more sense – with less reaction and more acceptance life has taken on a far greater quality.
‘We are the courses, the projects, the workshops – the moment we see life and engage with it, we are learning’. This is a great way to travel through life – one long journey of learning, growing and expanding.
“we sparkle less brightly and may even entertain thoughts that we have failed. These too are precious, as well as pivotal, moments. If we are ready for more to be revealed, we are offered a choice to see the lesson in more depth.” The more I embrace this the more I learn and the more joy I feel in life.
And seeing the lesson in more depth, brings increased awareness to the learning and the opportunity on offer to perhaps take stock or change direction, or just offers a stop moment, whatever is needed.
There is such a tenderness we allow for ourselves when we see that all is a learning, as we are all students of life.
This is such a cool blog, after reading I feel so light and is a super reminder to take that lightness out into my day, instead of losing it and make life all serious and heavy and then the learning is lost. Making mistakes and learning from them is all part of life. And sometimes when we get a little stubborn with learning, there is always someone around who can support us to see the bigger picture which supports in making a different choice or choosing a different direction.
We are all signed up, and do we choose to sit in the back row and try and ignore what is being presented, or right at the front, engage with the lesson for this moment… and the next? I know for me the Livingness has helped me to move to the from of the class and pay more attention.
I love this philosophy Adele, thank you. It is my experience that when we open up to being a student of life itself, every moment is an opportunity to learn, to grow, to evolve and life is enriched in a very beautiful way. In this there is nothing mundane any more, just the chance to observe and see what life is reflecting back to us.
That we are here to learn, that we are all here to learn and support each other, and as we do we all expand together. The biggest learning tool here what is reflected to us by others, by nature, by everything around us. The classroom to remind and bring us back to who we are.
Love this. Life is the best teacher we could ask for and how much we learn is entirely up to us.
“When we meet life in every moment with the wonder that we truly are, the moment reflects this true wonder back to us”. Now this is the way to truly live, being open to the magic of our world and of the Universe and to all that is being offered to us in every single moment. Life is for learning, for loving and for living.
“One of the coolest things of Earth School is we can actually learn every moment, in everything we encounter” I love this statement, indicating what we perceive as ‘good’ and what we perceive as ‘bad’ is an encounter we learn from.
When we are so caught up in life’s calamity that we don’t see what is being offered to us, its like we are held by the emotion/s that Heaven’s presentation is missed. When we let go of the emotion/s, we can see what’s being offered. Life is more enjoyable when we keep it simple.
The length of time we spend in this school is determined entirely by our own willingness to heal, let go and evolve
Understanding that life is a school for learning brings a perspective of great depth of appreciation for life.
The magic of Heaven’s classroom where through The Livingness we learn to return to the Divine beings we truly are.
I agree Mary, there is so much magic to experience when we live the Livingness.
Appreciating the learning in everything is key otherwise we can judge a situation as being ‘negative’ or ‘positive’. What I am learning is that there is a lesson in all experiences, no matter how it plays out on the surface, and the more I embrace the learning the deeper my understanding is…
Letting go of the judgment of ‘negative’ or ‘positive’ and instead observe every experience as an opportunity to learn brings freshness and joy to life, constantly.
We are constellated exactly where we are to be in every moment to evolve whether that is through a confirmation or supporting us to be more aware of what is at play. From our partners, children, parents, grandparents, extended family, home, community, country etc we are being placed perfectly depending on our movements over life times that got us to that spot. So it begs to question my awareness and movements that I align to from now on and how much deeper I can go to live in harmony with myself and the universe.
and as we deepen the expression of who we are, so will the healing and wisdom grow. I have found this to be true, having always held my expression back and having walls of protection, I have had to learn and allow myself to share and express myself and my life has become so much more richer in terms of how easily I connect with others and how simple my life has become ( there is no more battle with life!).
“We are forever students and teachers at the same time – there is no differentiation.” This is a great reminder of what it is we all can bring in any moment, we are a student each and every day, yet we can also be a teacher, we can be both on any given day.
‘Awareness is our text book’, yes it is and the more we express ourselves, and share the love that we naturally are, our awareness increases to such an extent that we can feel/know what our next steps are, as we draw the future towards us.
A beautiful reminder Adele of the wonders of Heavens classroom where everything we need to evolve and expand is already provided, we just have to turn up to life and live it in full to the best of our ability.
Love this blog Adele, and the simplicity in which you write and deliver, for example, learning is called living and yes we can learn in every moment if we stay open to learning and growing.
Heavens Classroom has a beautiful welcoming sound to it. How we would flourish if indeed we did appreciate that this is possible if we so choose , its up to us!
It is the most beautiful experience to attend Heaven’s classroom and to experience absolutely no competition or comparison and to know you are simply enough just being you.
When I was a little girl I used to feel as if I was born from the stars and now I see how everything is linked and how everything and everyone plays a part in the grander scale of life. We are all here to observe, learn, express and explore to understand the all and our part within it. A super cool blog thank you Adele.
If we hold each other as equal human being, doing good and going into sympathy goes out of the window, the learning is indeed to give others space to come to their own wisdom and healing in their own time.
And what a difference their is between feeling the need to fix the problems of others to giving them space to come to their own wisdom and healing in their own pace.
This blog makes very clear the need to expand our view on education to accommodate not just what we need to ‘succeed in this world’ but how to prepare ourselves to live in this world so we can one day return to where we come from.
Very beautiful, this is. How so perfectly designed this plane of life is, with so much grace and love for us to learn to make choices that would eventually and inevitably come in alignment with what holds us all within.
This really brings out a question about what life is. The current education systems world over are producing more highly educated people than ever before, but where has it led us? Better education better life is a widely held belief, and many do believe that their life got better. Perhaps we need to be very honest about a kind of life we truly want to have.
“We are the courses, the projects, the workshops – the moment we see life and engage with it, we are learning.” what a beautiful way to see life on our earth plane, with so many opportunities of learning to live from the love within us that is afforded to us in each moment. Thank you Adele for a beautiful blog.
‘We cannot truly ‘help’ another per se by telling them what to do, but we can hold another as an equal human being and allow them the spaciousness to feel and choose for themselves.’ This is true love, a beholding quality, inspire and reflect by our way of living. There is so much to learn in each moment of our lives, truly something to appreciate.
“We are forever students and teachers at the same time – there is no differentiation.”
The mainstream education system may be out dated and need attention but that is beyond our control, what is within reach and something we can do, is hold this phrase above, as a way to live by and bring home a true education. So when we do send our kids to school they are more equipped to deal with it and everything that follows.
It can become so easy to be affected by life yet what you present shows that there is a learning in each moment and if we don’t live by pictures but live in the flow of life we get blessed by every moment in life. We no longer see challenges as challenges but as opportunities for growth.
“This learning is called living; the education is known as Livingness.” having this approach to life allows us to appreciate and maximize the potential of what is presented in our lives, it connects us with the stars and deeply enriches our lives and that of others.
Francisco, I love how you expressed ‘it connects us with the stars and deeply enriches our lives and that of others’ – that this embracement of Earth School is part of a grandness and there is a joy in connecting to this.
By being our selves we can reflect to another and inspire them. We can not tell another what to do. It is our loving choices and livingness we can reflect.
Here, we are not graded against each other – God doesn’t ask us to compete and He doesn’t favour any students more than others. We, as students, are given everything and no one misses out – yet, it is up to us what we do with the teachings and how we choose to move within the school.
When there is a commitment to living on this earth, there is a committed to seeing all there is to learn. And boy oh boy there is a lot to learn. We can either resist, walk with our eye closed, and continually push rocks up a hill. Or we can surrender to love, which is what we are made from, and be in the joy of what teachings this life offers. Same place, same time, which choice do we make?
Earth school: everyday dawn to dusk, attendance compulsory – I love it.
“We are the courses, the projects, the workshops – the moment we see life and engage with it, we are learning.” I love this line and when reading it this morning a smile came on my face. We are so much in the trying and think we will improve ourselves by doing the next course or workshop and in that forget that just our everyday life is the best course, workshop or lecture we will ever attend.
I smiled on reading your comment Nico, because I could relate to be always in the ‘trying mode’, trying to do more, trying to be better….which kept me in the belief that I needed to do workshops when in fact as you say everyday life is the best education and it is free!
Yes Jacquline, and also so simple if we allow ourselves to understand that life is a classroom and actually a very playful one.
‘When we meet life in every moment with the wonder that we truly are, the moment reflects this true wonder back to us.’ And if we are honest we will all realise that life is one big mirror that reflects back to us both our beauty and wisdom and our imperfections according to whatever we need to learn in that moment.
The Way of The Livingness is without a doubt the greatest and only true education there is. I did not enjoy school, to say the least, and I used to not enjoy the classroom of life. However, having now had the curriculum, The Way of The Livingness, explained to me I now embrace life and my love and joy of it deepens everyday.
Life is a constant classroom where we (can) learn about us and life indeed. This is the truth about education.
Education like this is something I would love to wake up to as it is all about us and everyone else at the same time. It takes away the competition of individuality.
Exactly Adele – this education, this form of intelligence is asking humanity to come together and learn as one for all. Mainstream education, primary school and high school does the exact opposite and asks students to go head to head and learn from the head for themselves and never is it about being part of the whole.
I love the idea of learning in heaven’s classroom, I might set my alarm to say “welcome to heaven’s classroom” – it makes sense, everyday is full of valuable lessons.
Beautiful Adele, that we are in Heaven’s classroom every second of every day, the forever age long student; learning from participating in life.
Should ever anyone get the feeling of failure or struggling with something, reading this blog can shake things up! I know from my experience that I’ve never learnt something once and mastered it, and staying in the wrong delays getting up and trying again. Coming back to the fact that I am a student and some lessons do require repetition and that this is natural and a part of life takes away so much pressure and blame. Thank You Adele.
The appreciation of cycles is wisdom and the mastery of cycles is powerful.
I love the reference to Learning in Heaven’s classroom, there is so much for us to learn about ourselves, and we are always learning with everything we do, the more we understand and the more open we become the more awareness there is, and a greater wisdom is offered to us.
Such a simple truth, this is all that we have to do; ‘We make a difference by breathing our own breath; we are committed to teach and learn in honesty, integrity and responsibility, without any need to be perfect.’
Heaven’s classroom has been my most favourite learning environment and one I feel very blessed to be a part of and where everyone is treated equally and we support each other to truly evolve.
A very beautiful reminder that all we need is our Divine willingness to embrace the truth of who we are and why we are here, through which we naturally discover the wisdom and majesty of our equal love. For it is through this love that we learn to embody our Soul, and as such grow and evolve together, returning to harmoniously live the truth, the future, the oneness that we in essence all hail from.
This is a beautiful reminder that “We are forever students and teachers at the same time – there is no differentiation.”
Everyone gets to graduate from heaven’s classroom eventually. No student will be left behind; we will all get there in the end.
Spot on Victoria, we all equally support each other to evolve and graduate.
Evolution is definitely the highest form of education.
“One of the coolest things of Earth School is we can actually learn every moment, in everything we encounter.” I so agree Adele. Everything we are presented with is an opportunity to learn and evolve – or not.
Being in this school of the Ageless Wisdom on earth we are being educated on the very basics of life, a foundation without which life on earth becomes untenable! Using the ‘textbook’ of awareness the three pillars are (a) Love (b) Truth (i.e. everything is energy) and (c) responsibility (karma /reincarnation). What an amazing and brilliant Education we are receiving from the greatest educator of all time.
So beautiful and so loving, that all we have to do is turn up and live life, ‘Awareness is our textbook – we teach, learn, correct, re-imprint with it, this I am signed up for. Thank you Adele for an inspiring article.
‘Awareness is our textbook – we teach, learn, correct, re-imprint with it.’ I love how you present that the willingness to be aware is all that is required in Earth school so there can be no failure just a choice to be aware or not in any moment and always the opportunity to make a different choice.
Life in heaven’s classroom here on earth. Beautifully written by an expert writer. Thank you Adele Leung.
A beautiful way of The Livingness to be a student in earth school with the messages and teachings from Heaven’s classroom with an awareness that we are all returning to the all-knowing wisdom that we come from.
I love coming back to this beautiful playful blog to read there is so much in it for us all to learn as it says learning is living our livingness, is what we express and is reflected back to us in evert moment.
‘We make a difference by breathing our own breath’ It begins and ends with breathing our own breath. Years and years I have lived without my own breath, My breath was a reflection of what happend outside of me and I was a sponge for the emotions from others. To breath gently was the start of breathing my own breath, a reflection of what I have found to be true, my innermost being, the love that I am. In no way perfect but a student of ‘earth school’; The Way of The Livingness.
I love timing Adele, and it’s great timing for me to read this today and to understand that everything is in it’s time, and cannot be learned ahead of time, so in other words it’s about accepting where I am right now and what I am learning and not wanting to be somewhere else, somewhere I perceive as being further along the path which is not true at all, it’s about learning from where we are and embracing each lesson as we go in the knowing that each and every one of us gets exactly what is needed as it’s needed. There’s such a magic to this and what a gift to have this as the basis of our classroom.
Thank you for the reminder Adele, that in every moment of every day we are both students and teachers in “earth school” and that “We are the courses, the projects, the workshops”. To get to know ourselves first flows on to knowing others, and as everyone around us is constantly offering us a reflection, and as we are offering one to them, the lessons never ever stop. This is true education, education that is simply a natural part of life and there for all, equally so.
Once we understand why we are here, and what the purpose of life is, completely changes everything. We then have gauge, a marker, a compass that shows us where true north is and we can educate and be educated to live in a way that facilitates our way back home. A very cool school!
This is a truly gorgeous encapsulation of the beauty of learning that takes place in life and through living each day open and aware… and especially of the evolution that is constantly available to us should we embrace it. Stunning.
There are many gems in this blog, what stands out to me reading it today is the fact that we are all equal in life, both teachers and students supporting one another to evolve.
“We are the courses, the projects, the workshops – the moment we see life and engage with it, we are learning”. Courses, projects and workshops today are external things often imposed on us as a way of learning and becoming more knowledgeable but they are often not about our living nor do they encourage true personal growth or self awareness. Our world would be so different if fully engaging with life, and appreciating our own abilities to feel and know life were our courses, projects and workshops.
“We are each other’s tutorials when we get stuck; simply by being ourselves we provide a reflection for each other.” I celebrate and applaud all those that have come before me leading the way back to who we truly are in living life here on earth in this heavenly way. Thank you Adele for this beautiful blog.
I love the feeling that we are in Heaven’s classroom in Earth School. It makes so much sense of the world and also brings understanding to everything that is going on in our ‘school’. It’s all offering a learning if we choose to accept life in this way.
This is a beautiful way to look at life ‘the learning is called living; the education is known as Livingness.’ We have everything we need to evolve at our figure tips when we take responsibility to open our hearts to all that is reflected around us to support the lessons we are here to learn.
There are many gems here in your lovely blog Adele. One particular part I noted was around how we offer genuine ‘help’ to others not by trying to come up with solutions to their problems but by simply getting on with living our lives with as much connection as possible. This connection starts with ourselves and expands out to understanding that we are all part of creation. Knowing that changes everything as it means that there is no need for judgement, jealousy and criticism etc and we don’t need to get caught up in the emotional dramas that may be going on. What a powerful thing to learn in Heaven’s classroom while participating in Earth school!
In this school of life ‘we are forever students and teachers at the same time – there is no differentiation’. Beautifully said Adele. Awesome blog, there is so much truth in all that you have shared here.
“Awareness is our textbook – we teach, learn, correct, re-imprint with it”
I love how you have expressed this ,Adele. Our awareness is with us every minute of the day and if we choose we get great learning from this.
Yes, Adele our education is how we live everyday. Our learning comes from the awareness we develop in our bodies and how we evolve from these learnings. It seems odd that we have to go into a separate building(school) to learn how to live life!!
“It is in this equality that we open ourselves to learn all there is to offer. We are each other’s tutorials when we get stuck; simply by being ourselves we provide a reflection for each other. We cannot truly ‘help’ another per se by telling them what to do, but we can hold another as an equal human being and allow them the spaciousness to feel and choose for themselves.”
So true Adele and hence the importance of us staying connected with ourselves as much as possible in order to provide those true reflections that are so needed.
Not accepting and reacting towards being here is a trap that keeps us forever in the illusiveness of what life on earth is about.
Yes Adele, not accepting being here is such a trap, as it distances us from the very quality that will bring us huge joy in the earthly life.
I love what you share with us Adele, the power and joy of Heaven’s classroom where everyone is supported to learn and to access true knowledge and wisdom and how to live in true brotherhood and evolve together.
Gorgeous, Adele. This really puts our life on earth into a true perspective. I love that awareness is our textbook because with awareness the learning is endless -when we shut down our awareness we stagnate and contract. I love my learning on earth.
I love it to Adele, being the forever student is expansive and provides such a wonderful opportunity to evolve. I love what you have presented here; what a joy for us all to be learning and evolving together in Earth School.
“One of the coolest things of Earth School is we can actually learn every moment, in everything we encounter.” I love this as it is so true. Learning is everywhere in every moment and that is the coolest thing ever. We do not have to search for it or read about it, it’s there right in front of us, all of the time waiting for us to be open to its endless possibilities.
‘One of the coolest things of Earth School is we can actually learn every moment, in everything we encounter. There is no need to do anything special. We just have to show up and see the lesson’. Beautifully expressed Adele and the divine thing is, we are all already enrolled in this Earth School, we all just need to realise it!
Beautifully written Adele, in earths school and heavens classroom, every moment of living life becomes an evolution. “No student can really be ahead of or behind another, for the power of what is learned is in everyone getting it, and no one can get it until they do.”
You are so right Patricia, if we don’t get it today, the opportunity always presents itself again, so amazingly loving and beholding is the love that we are and are surrounded by.
What a gorgeous way to view our daily living, Adele. There is no sitting on the periphery of life- we need to get in there and live it. We evolve by living life and being open to all that life is sharing with us. It is our choice whether we learn the lessons or not.
Absolutely Anne. We cannot sit on the periphery of life. We must plunge in. I cannot believe the levels and depths into which I have had to plunge to embody life! I was always standing on the side of the pool, not wanting to dip my toe in. Now it is full-on and even mastered a huge holding back fear recently with stepping onto stage again.
‘…the coolest education ever, because this is the education where evolution happens.’ There is such freedom in embracing these words, Adele. What more could we possibly ask for than to be in an education that allows us to evolve?
“We are forever students and teachers at the same time – there is no differentiation.” Adele, I feel this to be so true with more appreciation I have for myself and others.
The moment I chose to enter Earth school my body was already thirty-something years old, after I met Serge Benhayon. How is that possible – existing on Earth without being in Earth school? Smoking cigarettes, moving faster than my body wants, drinking coffee, alcohol, having regular fights and emotional dramas with partner or friends and family, not liking myself… Assuming that this is what many do, Earth school is kind of empty these days.
Oh yes Felix I do so know what you are saying here! I played truant from Earth School until I was nearly 60 years old. But now it is my ‘go to’ school where I can embrace being a forever student. Gradually our great Teacher’s words will reawaken every heart so that one day every will be clamouring to go to school each day.
Thank you Adele – “”We bring forth wisdom and healing as we bring forth our true selves” beautiful expression of a beautiful way to live – thank you for the reminder!
Its great to get reminded again of the amazing opportunity we got to learn and grow into our true nature, there is a natural pull to evolve, constantly.
I agree Benkt, I can definitely feel the pull to evolve you talk about and the higher level of responsibility I have for myself and others.
I was reminded of how we are as children full of wonder and curiosity for the world and life, and we are learning with no self-judgement and no mistakes.
Very cool indeed Adele, a never ending education providing us evolution and I love this; ‘No student can really be ahead of or behind another, for the power of what is learned is in everyone getting it, and no one can get it until they do.’ So why would we compare ourselves with each other or be jealous?
Very true Annelies, jealousy and comparison are such a waste of time for none of us can make our return unless we all do and so we are here to work together to help each other get it in order to make that return.
Adele I love the playfulness of how you write, and that “This learning is called living; the education is known as Livingness.” And we are in class all day every day, and our Livingness is reflected back to us all of the time.
We are in class everyday. I have never attended such an awesome school before. ” No student can really be ahead of or behind another, for the power of what is learned is in everyone getting it, and no one can get it until they do.” Through Earth School we are constant reflections for one another and are pulling one another up towards evolution.
I just love this. The lightness and playfulness in how you accept to be a forever student of Livingness is just so gorgeous to feel. Being a student itself is a huge learning for me. Thank you, Adele.
“The awesome thing about Livingness is it is not about tests or grades, recognition or rewards, there are no formulas to memorise or rely on… all we have to do is get in there and get on with life”.
The forever students; it is indeed an honour to be in class with you Adele, Giselle and all others in the Livingness class.
Adele I love how you said ‘we chose to be here’. If this was our choice then why are we fighting it or not wanting to recognise this? Instead of day dreaming in the classroom we need to be more aware of the lessons around us, as they are presented to us every second of the day.
Love it Adele, great to read this again, seeing everyone and everything as our teacher, so much to learn, how fabulous. All I need to do is apply myself with love and care, innocence and playfulness to the subject matter and let it teach me.
I love this piece of writing Adele; an expose of the true learning that life offers when we allow oursleves to be open and aware of the lessons in front of us.
Wow what an education Adele, one where we all come out at the end equal, equal in knowing, understanding, truth and love. Very different to an education that breeds comparison and the intent is to be higher or smarter than others. I’ve signed up for Heaven’s classroom and am loving the awareness. Sometimes I find it hard but my homework of ‘understanding’ and ‘honesty’ helps me find a simpler way.
So true Adele. The moment we let go and trust life, life is teaching us something every moment. Then life becomes about being and not doing. That is a wonderful feeling.
Adele,
You truly are an Angel teacher from heaven!
Living in Earth’s School gives us all a myriad of opportunities for growth, expansion and love. We are continually sharing, learning and inspiring all the time and this just opens my heart with appreciation for all.
This is true cooperation, true brotherhood, to work together “No student can really be ahead of or behind another, for the power of what is learned is in everyone getting it, and no one can get it until they do.” I can feel that when we do not support one another in equality we are less ourselves, we are naturally born to be family, I can feel that in my everyday encounters. When someone says to be more than another they lose something within themselves by doing so, equality is divine.
‘If we are ready for more to be revealed, we are offered a choice to see the lesson in more depth’ I love that – exquisite wisdom forever embracing us with everything, unfolding it’s magnificence as we deepen our connection with who we are… an absolute pleasure to read.
And also love this part ” The awesome thing about Livingness is it is not about tests or grades, recognition or rewards, there are no formulas to memorise or rely on… all we have to do is get in there and get on with life.” Perfect – thank you Adele.
Delightful piece of writing Adele – I found it very uplifting and confirming. Love how you say “One of the coolest things of Earth School is we can actually learn every moment, in everything we encounter”
This is such a light fun blog to read a great analogy of life that offers so much to ponder.
Heaven’s classroom where the textbook is awareness – there are no walls in this classroom, no striving for success, it feels so spacious and empowering to learn in every moment. Gorgeous Adele!
Thank you Adele, for this most delight-fully in-sight-full blog. Life is like being on a continuous field trip where discerning observation is the key. My body really is my teacher and I’m becoming more and more aware of what I miss out on if I’m not present or ‘nod off’ in class.
“One of the coolest things of Earth School is we can actually learn every moment, in everything we encounter. There is no need to do anything special. We just have to show up and see the lesson.” I love this Adele. Every moment as an opportunity for us to reflect on how we are – our interactions and the so-called ‘accidents’ can teach us so much if we are open to receiving the learning – and then make different choices.
“One of the coolest things of Earth School is we can actually learn every moment, in everything we encounter.
There is no need to do anything special. We just have to show up and see the lesson”
Indeed see the lesson in every moment, this is awesome Adele
It is up to us now to take responsibility and be open to whatever is presented, what a cool and fun school.
I loved returning to this blog Adele as I also love being in Heaven’s classroom. And I love that I am constantly inspired by how there is no end to what we learn for ourselves and how it is never truly just for ourselves. As there is no end to the depth of healing and wisdom we bring and return to as we claim ourselves as the equal Sons of God and learn to live and shine All that we all truly are.
I love this classroom too Adele, some subject I find a challenge but the more I feel my equality and love that I am the easier the subjects get.
“We are the courses, the projects, the workshops – the moment we see life and engage with it, we are learning”. I love this line Adele, because we can’t look back with any regret when we realise we were choosing our lesson and learning the whole time. That gives me a sense of joy and appreciation for my life so far and gratitude for today and tomorrow.
I’ve chosen different classes to take over the course of my life and sometimes it seems I’ve been in that classroom for a long time, but then I realise there was no mistake with the time it took me to learn this lesson. It was perfect because when I did understand the lesson I understood it with my whole being and I’ll know it forever now.
I love being your classmate! You have such a great way of explaining things so I can understand them! And they way you have looked at things here is truly educational.
Thank you Adele!
“Awareness is our textbook” a great pearl of wisdom Adele, I am always amazed how much easier life is when I choose to stay aware. Choosing to stay aware is about the lifestyle I lead and whether I indulge in things like overeating or television or whether I make choices that support me like taking care of my body and going to bed when i’m tired. When I make those choices I learn more about life and about people than I ever could from any textbook.
I second that Stephen and I love your examples of how you choose to stay ‘aware’.
So true that we are indeed students and teachers simultaneously. When we are humble enough to learn without pride standing in our way, we are able meet another as equals and share our wisdom with them.
There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ in heaven’s classroom, just the continual reflections from one another that provide opportunities for us to evolve.
Thats lovely Peter, how we can all learn from one another, be both the student and the teacher supporting humanity to evolve.
Oh Peter and Catherine! if only everyone knew this and teachers were educated to approach school in this way: ‘There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ in heaven’s classroom, just the continual reflections from one another that provide opportunities for us to evolve’.The right and wrong paradigm has messed up so badly in every way. It’s love, brotherhood, reflection and evolution – whose initials I have just seen spell the French word ‘libre’ meaning free!
We truly reflect what we learn In the Way of the Livingness, A true gift to humanity, and the best school on earth! Thank you for your blog Adele
I love how you have expressed this. It removes the seriousness of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ in our lives and turns life into something fun, allowing room for learning, growth and ultimately evolution.
Heaven’s classroom with awareness as our textbook is such a gorgeous description of my experience of connecting back to the Way of the Livingness – and aligning to truth and love is my favourite homework.
We are continually offered reflections throughout the course of our education on earth school where some subjects might feel more difficult than others but being present and responsible in every moment the reality is they are all gifted opportunities in the process of evolution.
“The moment we see life and engage with it we are learning.” I love that. This is a blog you can come back to again and again
Yeah me too Lucy – Love it. Really life is not about anything BUT this!
Simple and beautiful and yet so far from most of our thoughts and presence day to day.
Every moment of every day life at Earth School offers us the opportunity to re connect to our authentic selves through taking responsibility for being aware of opportunities being offered and reflected.
An awesome blog and very timely for me to read this morning after an eventful evening which I found challenging, bringing up an issue within me that I had asked to know more about. It is wonderful to be reminded that moments like this are precious, an opportunity to learn more about myself and to choose evolution or not. This is true ”If we are ready for more to be revealed, we are offered a choice to see the lesson in more depth”. Thank you Adele for sharing.
I Love that!
We are presented with life lessons whether we want to learn them or not!
Gold.
And we really just keep coming back round again until we learn them!
Awesome and beautiful.
We are constantly being gifted with the wisdom to know and understand our choices so we can evolve. All we need to do is be open to receiving these gifts.
“We are the courses, the projects, the workshops – the moment we see life and engage with it, we are learning’. Love this line Adele. It is a reminder that responsibility for the quality of learning we are offered starts with us taking self-responsibility.
I agree Anne, self-responsibility sets the benchmark for the quality of living and learning at offer it creates the foundation of true living.
“Awareness is our textbook – we teach, learn, correct, re-imprint with it. It supports our growth, our deepening, our expansion, and this evolution is what truly makes a difference.” I love this statement Adele.
As the old saying says “you can’t Change what you won’t acknowledge” and without the responsibility of Awareness evolution wont happen.
I love this blog even more than the first time I read it. It is a treasure trove of wisdom, especially for the times when I stumble into old ways and need to be reminded that every moment is an opportunity to learn, and that is all that is required, to keep learning.
“One of the coolest things of Earth School is we can actually learn every moment, in everything we encounter.” This truth becomes evermore deeper for me as I unfold back to who I truly am.
“There is no need to do anything special. We just have to show up and see the lesson.” I love this line, Adele, it reminds me to keep things simple and avoid complication.
It amazes me every single time how truly cool this form of education is, it is so simple and we learn from our whole bodies, not only on a task or subject but everything relating a task or a subject in a multidimensional way. We get to feel and see the relationship of everything and anything with the whole of the universe. We don’t have to remember anything, and we don’t own any knowledge, everything comes in an instant and our whole bodies get it. And we get to “play”and learn and grow together–with everyone and everything that we come into contact with. School is so cool that I can’t wait to go everyday and every night.
Evolution–we think it is a big word. The truth is, every moment of life is evolution–as every moment we are with time, and each moment in time is a choice to evolve or not.
Evolution can very simply be our choice to be aware and observe what happens for us internally moment to moment. We have many ingrained patterns, it may as subtle as how I consistently roll my eyes at a certain scenario, but instead of dismissing it as nothing, I observe it and ask why, followed by a what if. Evolution defines true cool.
Adele, I looove your blog. You have reminded me how gentle to be with myself in earth school. Your first paragraph aligned me straight back to my inner heart. It gave me a reminder that I have chosen to be here and what joy can lie in that choice.
Thank you Adele you have summed up a well rounded map of what us and life is all about and how we are to move with it.
An awesome blog Adele I liked the part when you said:
“When we meet life in every moment with the wonder that we truly are, the moment reflects this true wonder back to us. “
I was reminded of how we are as children full of wonder and curiosity for the world and life, and we are learning with no self-judgement and no mistakes.
When a child is learning to walk and it falls over there is no oop’s, the child simply gets up and tries again, it is we as adults that introduce the oops or the praise.
Hi Adele, this is a great way to look at the way we navigate our way thru life, always learning and growing depending on how we are willing to look at things or not. I feel we are very blessed to have the support from Universal Medicine, who shine a light on the path as we walk.
When a lesson feels particularly challenging, as students of Livingness in Earth School we are always reminded in so many ways that we are never learning this lesson alone. No one is truly left struggling on their own. Yet, the responsibility of learning something and not giving up or delaying, is also because we are not alone. When we choose to step up, we are offering this choice to others, choosing to learn in Earth School is a responsibility we live in not leaving anyone behind.
great comment 1heart1love1earth. I like how you say “When we choose to step up, we are offering this choice to others, choosing to learn in Earth School is a responsibility we live in not leaving anyone behind.”
True education in every sense of the word!
Coming back to this beautiful “lesson” this morning has brought such a joyful beginning to my day, a joy that I will take with me and to others, as the day unfolds. I love that this classroom is with me in every breath I take and in every step that I walk, and that everyone I meet is also a student and a teacher in this all encompassing classroom with me. In the words of my six year old granddaughter, that feels, scrum-deli-ocious!
“Awareness is our textbook “. What an amazing textbook it is if we only learn to read it.
Adele, reading and rereading your blog again and again – and still there are new levels to be found in it.
The lightness and love in this education is what for me does make the difference.
I like reading this blog, its simple and its playfull and it has made me aware to appreciate all of lifes experiences the good and the bad.
This is such a precious and fun blog Adele. My heart really appreciates this line (among many);
‘These too are precious, as well as pivotal, moments. If we are ready for more to be revealed, we are offered a choice to see the lesson in more depth.’
Feels like I can give myself permission to really feel into these ‘wobbles’ and be ready for more rather then going into self-criticism and judgement thinking I have failed at something.
I agree Rachel, the wobbles can be one of our greatest stumbling blocks in life, but if we choose to see them as a learning curve to move forth, then it takes the “negative” aspect out of it.
So true tonysteenson, our lives can change immensely when we see everything as an opportunity to learn from, rather beating ourselves up and feeling that we have made a mistake, or done something ‘bad’. In hindsight, so-called mistakes are often our greatest teachers!
I love your comment tonysteenson about taking the negative aspect out of wobbles and seeing them as learning curves to move forth.
I agree Rachel, the wobbles can be one of our greatest stumbling blocks in life, but if we choose to see them as a learning to move forth, then it takes the “negative” aspect out of it.
I have been thinking of where this “negative” aspect comes from because surely we can’t be expected to do everything perfectly and if we are then we are setting the bar quite high. My feeling is that from a young age we are given adoration and praise for doing things the “right” way and punished, scolded for doing things the “wrong” way. We grow up trying to do things “right “because it gives us the type of attention we want whereas when we have a wobbly we are often rejected for it so we gradually mould our life trying to do good. Anything less than good is a failure in our eyes.
This is something I have learnt too Rachael – being present with “the ‘wobbles’ and be ready for more rather then going into self-criticism and judgement thinking I have failed at something”.
The self criticism can still creep in, in odd pockets, but now I catch it much earlier, grab it by its tail and aware of the game it is attempting to get me to play!
I agree Rachael that if we see these ‘pivot moments’ in our lives (which are often difficult or uncomfortable or exposing of how we have been living), as failures, then we have missed the whole opportunity to learn anything or grow from them. As Adele says in her blog, what if these moments were actually simply asking us to look deeper and more carefully, to be more aware, to be more committed to our livingness?
Thanks Adele for your a beautiful blog on Earth School. It brought up a loving excitement that this is the school I attend. What an amazing school with so much on offer if we choose to participate. I love the line that we are all teachers, such an important reminder for us all. This school is always taking enrollments, no need to qualify, because all are held as equal, no one is ever short of a teacher or lack of a lesson to learn, they are in abundance. I love this school.
‘Nothing is an accident’. This is something I have felt deep down all my life and I have struggled at times to accept this sometimes depending on what is presented. Although, now my place in believing that, has altered to include the accepting of the fact that I created what I am living now. WOW that has been huge. To say to another that they are living the life they have chosen and have the power to change can release a ‘tidal wave of emotion’ coming at you. Earth is truly heaven’s classroom- it can be raw, empowering, and glorious all at the same time.
I love the way you express Adele. I could feel the wonder of the world in you. Thank you.
‘When we meet life in every moment with the wonder that we truly are, the moment reflects this true wonder back to us.’ This is so true Adele, and from my experience when I am present with the tenderness of my heart and fully open to receive and feel everything around me, I am able to see and appreciate the beauty in everything. It’s like magic.
Your commitment comes through loud and clear here, as does the sense of glory in it all. Very much appreciating that we commit to stepping forward from the point we are at, without comparison. Thank you Adele.
I agree Jenifer, and being without comparison is key, as when we judge and put down both ourselves and each other it is very destructive; probably the most efficient way to cap evolvement.
“One of the coolest things of Earth School is we can actually learn every moment, in everything we encounter.”
This comment is so true Adele, there is something in every moment of every day, in everything we do, and every move we make is an opportunity to be consciously present, feel into, and learn from.
Agree Margaret, in Earth School ‘there is something in every moment of every day, in everything we do, and every move we make is an opportunity to be consciously present, feel into, and learn from’. The other cool thing about Earth School is that everyone we meet also goes to Earth School whether they are aware of it or not. Some ignore the fact that they are students and try to play truant. There is always a choice, either participate in what is on offer or sit in the corner and pretend that it does not exist! Either way, there is no escape.
Yes Anne, either way we are saying ‘Yes.’
Adele, I love coming back to this blog as it just allows me to stop and appreciate everything and everyone around me, and the way all has been constellated in order to evolve and learn in this amazing school. Thank you!
This is so true franciscoclara8 and when I allow myself to feel the truth of this, I can appreciate the grand purpose that Life presents and the responsibility that each and every one of us has to play our part, which is simply just us living our life in full. Nothing else is needed, just the fullness of who we are. Everything else is done for us in this amazing classroom of life. ‘Too easy’ my younger self might have said, so then, why do we choose to make it so hard?
I agree Francisco, living life like this brings so much joy and contentment.
Lesson 882,843,335,666,121. Another day and another lesson to add to the backpack of life experiences.
This is too cute Vicky Geary. And I love the spherical nature of the lessons that keep going around and around until I ‘get it’. Life is so very patient.
What an incredible school! ‘We are the courses, the projects, the workshops – the moment we see life and engage with it, we are learning.’ This is so true, but it has taken me a long time to understand that and be open to it too! Awesome blog.
So true Judy, once we ‘see life and engage with it, we are learning’. It may take as you say, ‘a long time to understand that and be open to it’ but once understood there is no turning back if one is committed in truth. Life is a forever learning whether we choose it or not!
Adele your writing makes me want to be at Earth school every minute of the day!
Adele you have described how simple life on this planet should be if we just feel how amazing every moment is.
Adele great article, it sums up beautifully what life is about. In reading your article I can feel the deep love and equalness that God holds us all in.
I love what you have shared here Adele – ‘we cannot truly ‘help’ another per se by telling them what to do, but we can hold another as an equal human being and allow them the spaciousness to feel and choose for themselves’. This is true responsibility – being fully loving and accountable for our own actions and behaviours without an ounce of imposition on anyone or anything.
Beautifully expressed ladies.
I like reading this blog, its evolutionary in its expression and a really good definition of life.
I love reading this. I have found it, and still do, a great support. At times when I feel I am struggling I remember this, that I am in a school and the tension lessons.
“One of the coolest things of Earth School is we can actually learn every moment, in everything we encounter…..This learning is called living; the education is known as Livingness”.
‘When we meet life in every moment with the wonder that we truly are, the moment reflects this true wonder back to us.’ This is a reminder, Adele, to live life in this quality in every moment.
Every day is an opportunity to learn from, going out into the world and engaging with life is a great way to learn, without the need to be perfect. There is so much in your article Adele to re visit and re read.
The earth school you describe Adele is very different to our normal schools here on earth, where we judge ability to complete tasks and recall details. This earth school has a quality we can all share, learn and grow from the moments we observe and experience. This way, values all and appreciates that everyone brings something to the party.
Beautiful Stephen, and truly, the Celebration is in everyone bringing their true selves to the party.
All are invited.
I have found that all of the lessons in my life come back to love. When I return to a lesson and introduce love, the problem decreases and seems to be much easier to understand. The common denominator here is me and bringing a care and love to myself. Loving me changes the problems ‘out there’. So rather than focusing on the issue or problem in life, the lesson is about bringing a greater level of love in the everyday things of living.
Matthew, spoken like a true teacher in earth school.
That is exactly what I have found too. Everything that I see in nature, in other people, all the events that happen in my life point out if I am going down the ‘wrong way turn back street’ or confirm to me that at my core I am love. Life has come alive for me having this constant communication going on. A walk is not just a walk. There are signs everywhere I look and my body which is with me everywhere I go, tells me whether I am on the road that builds more love or takes me off track.
Beautifully expressed Matthew and Fiona. The more aware I am of the undeniable fact that ‘my body is with me wherever I go’, the easier it is to come back to love within rather than focussing on issues externally.
“The common denominator here is me and bringing a care and love to myself. Loving me changes the problems ‘out there’.
” Life has come alive for me having this constant communication going on”.
Fiona I love what you say about a walk is not just a walk and that there are signs for us everywhere to say with are off track or not. I’m going for a walk that will be much more than a walk.
Matthew, you have pointed out the underlining lesson in all we learn. Well spotted.
“When we meet life in every moment with the wonder that we truly are, the moment reflects this true wonder back to us”. This is the gem I am choosing today Adele. There is so much to celebrate in your blog.
I so agree Bernadette – every line a gem.
Reading this blog gives me the feeling of how simple everything is if we look at life as the opportunity to learn and to teach – if you don’t get it the first, second or third time there is always the opportunity to retake any particular lessons.
Thank you Adele. Had I not thought of life in that way. To think, all the important and beautiful things in life I have tried to skip over by coming home from work or school and switching off with the belief my learning was finished for the day. It’s time to start truly living.
How sneaky the beliefs we are fed in life convincing us to think there are off moments we can actually switch off to life! And that life is only about work or school or family — we have ever only been partially present to life, and even then, how many of us still check out during work, school and family? Do we ever live then?
I so love coming back to this blog, it is a wonderful way to start the day.
“There is no need to do anything special. We just have to show up and see the lesson.” Adele this is so true, the more I am open to seeing the lessons that are there at every moment the more I am blown away by the simplicity of each lesson; there is always so much to learn and not a text book in sight.
Life is so amazing isn’t it Alison, we have all we need, we don’t have to go find or seek for anything if we simply honored what the next step is to be, as it comes to us, when we are open enough to see and receive the teaching/learning/opportunity/evolving.
So true Alison, it’s a great way to start the day, embracing all that life brings to show us what is needed to learn, and deepening the quality of presence and connection with each and every moment. The awareness that comes from this simple exercise is priceless and is the essential step to evolving out of our past patterns that do not serve.
I really love this delightful account of, what I know to be, the best school in the world and “one of the coolest things of Earth School is we can actually learn every moment, in everything we encounter.” I totally agree Adele. All we need to do is to make the choice to enroll and there are the lessons, all patiently waiting for us.
It also brings an interesting point about leadership in the corporate world; if we would have natural leaders, instead of ‘gorilla leadership’, there would be a more natural flow where leaders change more often, and get honest feedback about how they lead. They would ideally only lead when the situation asks for it and they would be open to learn from their employees or their students.
Good point delorme2013 – the Corporate world would benefit from the true group work that is being presented by Serge Benhayon – everyone is equal and has something to offer the whole. It’s all about people working together harmoniously, nothing to do with statistics or goals. Arrogance and pride prevents people from being “open to learn from their employees or their students”.
And that would be a true opportunity to let everyone blossom, to be able to lead and to learn so that all would have an equal part in evolution.
This is a great point and takes the self interest out of leadership and asks us to consider the the true purpose of our work and life on all levels. There is so much more to life than we see on the surface and the opportunities to make a difference show up in every moment!
That is absolutely lovely to feel–collaboration rather than competition. And it is happening as we live and bring more truth to wherever we are.
So true delorme.
Leaders will be no different than anyone in the team, they just hold more responsibility, and learning is always both ways.
Yes, there will be more equality.
I really love this blog, it is super confirming and takes what ever pressures that I think I need to do and be of myself and blows them out of the water. That I am here to learn and teach equally means I can never put one above the other.
I love this blog. I keep coming back and reading it. It really just sums life up so well.
I love this blog also Margaret and really enjoy reading it over and over; learning something different each time
It is so divine to feel that we are all forever students and teachers; equally, if we choose to be
So true Natalie, when we know we are here both to teach and to learn, a natural humbleness, as well as a constant reminder of responsibility, guide our lives.
There is a whole new approach to life when everything is understood to be a learning. It takes wrong and right out of the equation. It becomes; did you learn (evolve) during that situation, or ignore that you did indeed learn something, but didn’t realise it.
Well said Luke – Evolving is not always a ‘comfortable’ experience at the time – when understood the body feels so open and expanded – the discomfort, which feels so huge at the time, is then seen as such a minute part of it all.
Yes Luke absolutely – whether we are aware of it at the moment, lessons and evolution are happening. Just way more simple for the body when we do not choose to ignore it.
I agree Doug, it makes it more fun too.. I say ‘Bring it on!’
Yes, old ideas about getting it right and doing the right thing fall away as we become more aware and let the truth of our bodies lead the way. Great article indeed and some great comments too.
Yes Elaine, what truth – letting our hearts and bodies lead the way. And the way how this is true, has to be lived.
I’ve so limited my expression in the past Elaine, by trying to get it right, and learned little from it. If I do it from how I feel I learn a little more about myself each time. And when I learn, I grow.
That is beautiful Catherine, to see that we are learning–and we always are, is so confirming and accepting of ourselves always. Having to get it right though, feels so harsh and a reason for us to self-defeat, and not grow.
‘We are forever students and teachers at the same time – there is no differentiation.’
That is such a true comment Adele. Everyone we cross paths with no matter what walk of life they are from has something to offer us in the way of a reflection. As we do for them. It is up to us to accept the gift, process it and grow.
Thank you Adele. This comment that you made: ‘The awesome thing about Livingness is it is not about tests or grades, recognition or rewards, there are no formulas to memorise or rely on… all we have to do is get in there and get on with life’, has taken me a while to ‘get’ and for me it was a very freeing comment, after all the years of being a great student (in temporal terms). All I have to do is get on with life!
Life does glorify complexity. It has convinced us that working hard towards working out something is more important than knowing.
Beautifully exposed Adele. Feels like holding onto our issues and trying to nut them out really squishes any space for expansion. I am learning to simply see the lesson, accept and choose differently next time. I so love this Earth School analogy, a wondrous way of being in the world.
“We are forever students and teachers at the same time – there is no differentiation”. This is a gorgeous line that offers much. To realise that we equally have things to share/teach others and to learn from others is a great leveller, incredibly humbling and a profound way to live. It takes the pressure off too! We don’t have to know it all, get it all right – we simply share what we know and learn from others what we don’t. Simple.
Absolutely agree Sarah. Well said.
The pressures to know it all and get it right are like a weight on the body that complicates life and make us less.Sharing our feelings and experiences with others gives us so much more.
Using awareness as a textbook for life is a great analogy – the textbook contains all we need to know in order to learn. So by choosing to be aware of life and its happenings I am learning so much more about how to be in life as well as the other schools in life that show me how to do life. Both are important but the Livingness education is one that has been sadly left out of the picture by the majority. What I am finding is that the more I turn to my awareness textbook on the subject of my body, the other subjects become easier to understand as everything is related and no subject is separated from another. Practically speaking, if I am aware of how I feel, that ‘how I feel’ then affects how I interact with others, how I perform tasks, how I then think about myself, others, life. The more I understand my body and my choices the more I understand how life around me works and relates.
So true for all Leigh when you say that ‘the more I understand my body and my choices the more I understand how life around me works and relates’. This is such a simple truth once one becomes aware of it, yet why is it not taught from kindergarten and on?
Thanks Leigh and Anne, your comments have triggered something in me I need to really need to feel into.
Yes Anne, good question – to teach this from an early age would be such solid foundation to be in life, understand and work with it.
Great comment leighmatson. I can relate to it and this is so true – “The more I understand my body and my choices the more I understand how life around me works and relates”.
The text book on the body is my current favorite too Leigh. Revelatory to have discovered too, that in terms of feeling, we can feel with the heart as well as with the whole body.
I can’t agree more leighmatson. The deeper our understanding and relationship with the body, the deeper we understand the interconnectedness and multidimensionality of life.
In the current education system, the body is frequently regarded to be the least important and disregarded in the expense of acquiring knowledge, this way of learning feels narrow and limited as compared to the vastness of wisdom that is possible when we know the body is the key to the big picture.
Why is the class on the whole body–feelings, our 6th sense, heart, head, organs, systems not taught as our first class in life?
Yes I agree Jane – it’s like having your eyes wide open to the true magic of life.
I love your comment leighmaston. it is so simple yet there is so much in it awareness and understanding of our body is the key here and as you say no subject is separate form another. Our bodies hold all the answers I’m really feeling that this morning after re reading your comment. thankyou.
And it can be playful to be in heavens earth school, where there is no wrong and right, no being perfect, no judgement just to return to the love I already am.
The power is for everyone to get it and it is everyones path that will determine when they get it – this removes any pressure and allows us just to be us and learn. We determine our evolution. It is totally up to us if we want to speed this up or slow it down but eventually we will get to the same place no matter what. God’s school in action. I am deeply thankful to be apart of this and attending no matter what.
What an awesome blog Adele. I loved the part when you said ‘we are each other’s tutorials’, this just sounds so beautiful and for me your blog was a gorgeous reminder that I am not in this classroom alone but with many other students who are also learning with me.
Yes Madeline, it does sound beautiful to not be in the classroom alone, ‘but with many other students who are also learning with me’. The most beautiful thing is that in our learning we are both pupil and teacher as we evolve each other.
Awesome Adele. I had a feeling whilst reading the part that said we are all each others tutorials when we get stuck- that feeling was that we are all quite amazing. I loved how you stated that all we have to do is get in there and get on with life. spot on. Seeing the world as a place to learn takes the need for perfection out of the equation and brings a humbleness about it. I too always had a feeling that I didn’t quite belong here and, like I saw in the movies, was waiting for someone to come tell me that there was a whole different side of the world that I wasn’t aware of yet and that somehow I was special in it. I can see the correlation between that and what you have presented above.
You are spot on Emily.
Beautifully expressed Adele.
I love the comment – We are the courses, the projects, the workshops – the moment we see life and engage with it, we are learning. I feel that says it all!
Adele whereas so much learning that we do is simply to memorise and recall things, to get a grade – the livingness in earth school you write about turns that on its head – as you say “all we have to do is get in there and get on with life”. This way we are constantly learning and evolving.
I love this blog. Thank you Adele, for when I live life from this perspective everything makes sense. It’s all perfectly unfolding for us and as you say, – all we need to do is just turn up.
I love it Adele! Your pieces of writing are stunning, as are you too (though I have never met you, I can feel you so much in your writing) – you have a way of bringing words together that can only be done with magic – the magic of God within us all.
Thank you for YOU!
Beautifully confirmed Henrietta!
This is such a loving and supportive blog. When I experience one of the lessons when I feel I, “sparkle less brightly and may even entertain thoughts that (I) have failed” this blog is a joyful reminder that I am in Heaven’s Classroom.
Reading your blog Adele this line popped out and I felt how simply beautiful to live life with this. “When we meet life in every moment with the wonder that we truly are, the moment reflects this true wonder back to us.” Thank you for the gift of your words.
This is really great Adele, we are here to learn and earth certainly is our classroom. We are forever unfolding and how we choose to live will reflect all that we need to learn in any given moment. We are both student and teacher and to me that feels amazing.
Thank you Adele for this awesome reminder that life is the education for us all to truly graduate and return to where we are originally from. I learned a lot from your blog.
Hi Adele, just beautifully said ‘learning from heaven’s classroom’.
I love this line Adele “No student can really be ahead of or behind another, for the power of what is learned is in everyone getting it, and no one can get it until they do.” This is a great lesson to remember when building a loving way ahead for oneself.
And it so gracefully shows that competition gets us nowhere. We learn, and our lessons are for ourselves and each other equally.
I love this Adele. I want to print it off and put it on my wall. The truth of your writing captured me from the first sentence, and then the second,….. We learn from every moment. Thank you.
Agreed Mark, every sentence was a full lesson from heaven’s classroom in its self.
Learning that we are both a teacher and student in every moment is a wonderful way of allowing ourselves the space to grow without the ‘self bashing’ because we perceive we are not doing well enough” or “learnt our lessons late” If we view the whole of life and all that comes to us as a lesson, it definitely opens up the experience of it and allows the bigger picture into our daily encounters. I am still learning this one and I can feel it to be true for me and then sometimes I am hard on myself because I “did not get something right” but when I do this I remind myself, I am learning and this supports me.
Thanks Adele. Agree no other way to truly learn and develop but through The Way Of the Livingness.
Adele your blog is so supportive. I’ve just started a new job and can easily get caught up in being perfect and forgetting that by being me what I bring is amazing, and that what will be presented for me to learn from won’t be overwhelming if I am open. ‘We make a difference by breathing our own breath; we are committed to teach and learn in honesty, integrity and responsibility, without any need to be perfect.’ This is pure gold, thank you.
Allowing others to see the true me, “providing that reflection”, allowing them to make their choices to eventually reach a realisation, there is another way to engage with life and discover, they have a wealth of wisdom within.
So beautiful Wendy – to be able to let others feel their own wealth of wisdom through simply being you and “providing that reflection”.
“Everyone is given exactly what they need to learn, to a level and depth that is relevant for more growth. Nothing can be learned ahead of time. No student can really be ahead of or behind another, for the power of what is learned is in everyone getting it, and no one can get it until they do”. This is a great sentence Adele. This is saying we are all brothers and we are not going anywhere until we are all together. This is the type of school that humanity needs.
Yes Adele, I have known for along time that I chose to be born to my mother, but am only at last coming to accept that and take responsibility for changing the way I respond to others and certain situations when I fall into a childhood behaviour that stems from my relationship with long ago. Then I can look at each of these occasions as a gift to help me to choose to shed myself of that consciousness and live in a freedom of relationships with others that I have never done before.
“We are forever students and teachers at the same time – there is no differentiation.” Awesome Adele, I too have a deep knowing we are not from here and that life is indeed a school in which to learn, grow and evolve. Sometimes I forget this and instead get caught up in the superficial, yet always there is that place inside me that knows the truth that knows that there is so much for me to learn and express here. As I claim this knowing life becomes less intens and I feel the pulse of life guide me. It is this pulse and true connection that we find our true path home.
I love what you have written here Adele – “We are each other’s tutorials when we get stuck; simply by being ourselves we provide a reflection for each other” – so perfect and so true.
What a beautiful blog, Adele. I loved your comment “One of the coolest things of Earth School, is we can actually learn every moment, in everything we encounter”. What a great reminder this is for us all.
Beautifully and simply expressed Adele. I too have also always seen life as a school that required joy as a prerequisite subject to embrace the love and learning offered in any lifetime. Being able to live in the full truth and honesty of who I am was something that required the ‘rules of the game of life’ for this school and that was supplied in simple, honest truth and in the living example of Serge Benhayon.
I value the notion that life is the schoolground. it brings the wisdom that awareness can always be developing because as the blog states, there is never a shortage of lessons and opportunites to bring all of ourselves to every moment in an expanding way.
Yes Adele, we don´t have to do anything or tell anyone what to do, I love it when you say “we are each other’s tutorials” . I experience that continuously with my close friends, with people in general, there is always an opportunity, a reflection. It is beautiful how people are there for us without imposition, just holding us when we are not as strong, not rescuing, but being there in love. And we do the same for others. When that happens, I feel we are actually classmates and we are all in the same boat.
Thanks Adele for your playful and profound blog – Being both student and teacher makes so much sense to me – I can really feel the equalness of us all in this truth. I too have noticed that as soon as you learn one lesson at Earth School the next one is right there waiting…it’s constant and if we resist things get tricky…so being committed to Earth School is the only way – I am all in.
Brilliant article Adele, so many gems of wisdom. I especially like ..
“We are the courses, the projects, the workshops – the moment we see life and engage with it, we are learning”
Yes we are forever learning.
From a forever student who has chosen to engage in life and to not sit on the fence any longer, thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and the School of the Livingness.
I loved your article Adele, the title alone is wonder-full “Livingness in Earth School, Learning in Heaven’s Classroom”. Learning to love all and allowing yourself to be loved what could be better, observing, seeing and feeling, it all falls into place in Heaven’s Classroom if we pay attention.
Such a powerful blog thank you Adele. It’s so true, we are our own education and we can learn in every moment and with every choice we make. There is no wrong choice as we can learn from it. As our awareness develops we have a greater understanding of what is being presented to us- something I am enjoying currently.
I love re-reading your blog Adele. I notice I get into being worried about how I perform in life and concern myself with how others’ judge my performance. Your blog is a beautiful reminder that life is the lesson I learn from at a pace that is perfect when I am open to being present and willing. There are no trick questions just this asking for me to be present and open to the amazing lessons that are around me.
Wow Adele, I feel like I have always been at school but not taken the opportunities to learn. Blaming others and being the victim of what happens to me has taught me nothing. Now when there is something I find unpleasant in my life I know there is a heaven sent opportunity for me to learn from it, because I needed to learn it.
Gorgeous Bernard!
Awesome Bernie, that is so true and yet easily forgotten, the unpleasant things are important lessons, offering us an opportunity to expand.
Yes, I agree 1timrobinson. The biggest lessons for me are the unpleasant ones – If I ever feel tension in my body about someone, I know there is something for me to look at in myself. Today after working through one of these lessons, I picked up a notebook at ‘random’ (ha ha!) and in the midst of all the blank pages, there was one simple sentence staring up at me where it fell open that I had written sometime at a Universal Medicine presentation as important. I laughed out loud as it was the most beautiful confirmation of exactly having come to this point with another –
“It IS becoming/being humble enough to see our blind spots reflected by others”.
Great wisdom Bernard.
I enjoyed your article Adele, a fun read. I never enjoyed anything about school as a child. I will take Earth School and learning from Heavens Classroom anytime.
Thank you, Adele, ‘Awareness is our textbook’ is a great phrase, and the amazing thing is, that ‘book’ expands as we allow our awareness to deepen – there is always new information popping up in this constant process of evolving. ‘Nothing can be learned ahead of time,’ reminds me that we need to be aware of, and honest about, where we are at.
Life presents us with true education. Rather than being threatened by the life lessons that I am presented with every day I have learned, through the teachings of Universal Medicine to embrace them in full.
Yes Elizabeth, life has been so imbued with a sense of threat, that undermines us immensely. Standing, observing, feeling, and then embracing a life lesson is very empowering indeed.
I agree with you Lyndy, the life lessons change significantly when coming from “Standing, observing, feeling, and then embracing, a life lesson is very empowering indeed”.
It has always been said that ‘life is an education’, but I wonder how often, in general we really understand how frequently the lessons are presented to us to learn from! What you say Elizabeth about embracing each one rather than running scared or ignoring them, is a great way to learn.
Absolutely Rosanna, until meeting Serge Benhayon and attending his presentations most people saw the things that happened to them as nuisances, disappointments, even ‘disasters’! However, once we take responsibility for our choices, we have the opportunity to see everything that happens to us as a lesson we can learn from.
I agree Rosanna. Until I met Serge Benhayon and attended the presentations of Universal Medicine I did not see that I was being offered lessons on a daily basis. I often saw life as things happening to me that were random in some way and that I was powerless over them. Truly understanding that life is an education as you say, empowered me to no longer be a victim but rather embrace all that is on offer, to truly learn.
You have presented the simplicity of life Adele, “show up and see the lesson”. There is certainly something to be learned in every moment, for me it is all about being willing to tune in and take the lesson.
Great point. It is often easy to make a split second judgement call and from that, tune out of all that is on offer. But in this we can miss out on a whole wealth of experience, who knows where the conversation or action may have gone had we committed to it fully? This is a huge lesson and one definitely worth contemplating.
Super point to highlight Jenny. That will be one of my focuses for today.
Jenny that’s so true! The what if I committed more fully what would have happened? … We are surround by love and so another opportunity will present itself. It’s amazing.
I’ve often felt regret about certain choices but rather than wallow in regret I can simply feel an opportunity that was missed and know it doesn’t feel great and expand on the next opportunity that presents itself. I don’t have to brand myself forever less because of repeatedly skipping the lesson where I didn’t commit.
Yes and when we are open to learning life really becomes a joy, all the angst leaves the body and you feel free.
Vanessa your comment is super inspiring. Time to let go of that angst and the fear of making mistakes – both feel such a squashed way of living that’s very uncomfortable!
Yes I resonate with this Stephen, “for me it is all about being willing to tune in and take the lesson.”
Great article full of playfulness and truth
Adele I really Love this article and it is one the everyone should read – when you take the pressure of living in life and expecting ourselves to know it all and let go of the fact that we are here to learn this creates a massive shift, well it did for me any way. I really connected to what you shared – ‘We are the courses, the projects, the workshops – the moment we see life and engage with it, we are learning. We bring forth wisdom and healing as we bring forth our true selves, and as we deepen the expression of who we are, so will the healing and wisdom grow.’ Awesome reminder, thank you.
Yes, agreed Natalie – this is such a beautiful article to read (over and over!). Understanding we are here to learn has certainly taken a huge pressure off my living and reduced ‘trying to be perfect’ significantly.
Well said Natalie, it takes so much pressure off when we see we need to show up be us and engage, no scripts needed, just us, and I love what Adele has shared here that each of us learns at the pace that is for us and we learn exactly what we need to at that time. And we all learn, no one is less or more, we’re all learning. Adele thank you, lovely read.
Great article Adele. Having disliked school so much as a kid I can wholeheartedly now say, as you so beautifully expressed ‘I willingly accept and truly enjoy studying in Earth School and learning from Heaven’s Classroom – the coolest education ever, because this is the education where evolution happens.’
Awareness is my textbook. This book gets never boring or obsolete. It’s a precious book and I learned that if I care for it well. It has the most amazing contents of teachings for me.
Indeed it does not, the only textbook that never ends yet always feels complete.
I love the way you expressed Sandra – I really enjoyed reading that, thank you.
When I was young, school never held my attention for long, but Earth School and Universal Medicine and the Way of the Livingness have got my full attention and for the first time in my life I have enjoyed learning. I love reading this blog Adele, there is so much wisdom in your words.
How true Alison. In order to write a chapter for a project I have been reflecting back on my school days and feeling exactly what it was like. I am amazed to feel the coldness and weirdness of it, the depth of which I hadn’t consciously remembered. I recalled heading straight to the big trees in the playground at lunchtime and sitting amongst the roots and playing with my friends there – this was the closest thing I could find to the warmth I felt at home.
Earth School is a whole new and extraordinary place of Education. It melts the coldness, warms you with the vibrant fire of love, and frees you to embrace and express the astounding potential that each one of us has inside. Thank you Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Me too Alison – for the first time ever I have enjoyed learning!
My school days were not enjoyable either but these days I can say that I am enjoying Earth School and the lessons it is presenting me with.
One of the coolest things of Earth School is we can actually learn every moment, in everything we encounter.
This sentence alone says so much, being responsible enough to be consciously present every moment in every encounter. We can surely be teaching and learning so much every moment.
Laughing here to that comment Phil – imagine the relief this would be for all the stressed out students that believe that it’s all about learning and passing exams…
A playful article written with heaps of awareness and I agree Adele, “it’s the coolest education ever” as we learn from what’s presented. I like this classroom as there is no competition, comparison, judgement or even a need to be perfect just a “commitment to teach and learn in honesty, integrity and responsibility”.
Kathy i agree it is a great classroom, where we can just commit and learn in honesty the ageless wisdon, with integrity and responsibility, no comparison, judgement or competition.
This made me smile, thank you.
We are here to learn, to learn to Love again.
Yes, we are, we are here to receive love, to give love and live love every moment.
I love your comment Matthew, the pure, simple truth of life. Thank you
Tears have come into my eyes as I feel the simplicity of your words Karin, Matthew and Adele. Oh, how we have complicated life and worked our way into a cul-de-sac! But now we are heading out of the dead end and back home to where we belong.
That says it all Matthew.
Amen
Such beautiful words Matthew – and so true. Love is the lesson at every moment.
Yes Matthew, to learn to love again, so all others may as well.
‘We are forever students and teachers at the same time – there is no differentiation’ This line really stood out of me, reading this again today. In a way it is humility and equality rolled into one sentence. I get a sense of how much more amazing life could be if I approached each of my relationships in this way. WOW. This is true evolution. Thank you Adele for not holding back your beautiful wisdom and openness.
Anna, life would indeed be amazing if we approached each of our relationships knowing that each party is both ‘teacher and student’. This would not only bring true equality into every relationship but would eliminate comparison and competition as each person supported the other to deepen their awareness and to connect to a deeper truth. True evolution. .
Beautifully said Anne. Imagine a family, a community, a country, a world based on this way of being!
True evolution indeed Anne, I love what you have said and yes it would be amazing if we approached each of our relationships knowing that each party is both ‘teacher and student’. Wise words Adele, beautifully written and shared.
Anne I love how you’ve shared this and bought focus to “teacher and student” as one. What a completely different way to be and something deeply supportive for all.
‘But would eliminate comparison and competition as each person supported the other’. now thats a school worth attending, no top of the class evaluation just a beautiful learning from each other.
Yes this school has my full attention. I have never been so inspired and committed to anything as I have with Universal Medicine.
Yes, and the learning is awesome. Much more than I ever considered possible.
I agree Natalie, I feel this way too, Universal Medicine deeply inspires me and my commitment to life.
Well said Natalie, this is the best blog and way of experiencing life. I can feel the harmony in having no pressure or expectations, just becoming more of who we already are. Thank you Adele!
Reading this amazing article again I felt to take into my day: “awareness … supports our growth, our deepening, our expansion, and this evolution is what truly makes a difference” So I chose for today that I will be aware of me, others and all around and to come back to awareness if I lose it. And in the evening I will take stock of my evolution so far …
So true, Sandra. It is a beautiful reminder that every day is an opportunity to make the choice to evolve through awareness and honesty… And, as the days continue, we suddenly find we are making new and more loving choices! This is a teaching and learning at the same time.
This is really cool. I enjoyed reading it and the accuracy of the analogy. Some pearls in there to remind everyone to open-up to the endless expansions that occur and increase as we accept them. Great stuff.
Thank you Adele for your writing, yes what a wonder-full playground and learning life on earth is, our relationship to connecting to ourselves with the reflections of interacting with others.
Thanks Adele, if we truly appreciated the reflection and learning that everyone and everything brings to us, how quickly would we then evolve, and same goes for appreciating ourselves and what we can reflect to others. and everyone wins.
Beautiful sharing Adele thank you, looking at life as our school of learning makes such a difference for how we see every thing and how we are with what we see. I too am learning this lovingly through the reflection from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and makes sense of everything and how we are with life. A beautiful inspiration and brings a joy to our choices if we choose this.
This is a beautiful article Adele. Light and inspiring- ” life on earth became for me an education that I am committed to, as it provides the education for us all to truly graduate and return to where we are originally from”. This is my kind of classroom.
What a beautiful article Adele. I too have always felt wrong time, wrong place and wrong space here on Earth but with the wonder-full Benhayon family showing the way to live with love enjoying life fully, I am beginning to realise why I am here and to just get on with living my life to the full, learning as I go along, reflecting and enjoying just being me – imperfections permitted – which I now realise are the “learnings” and they do not make me any the less. Hooray, it has taken me a long time to get there but I am here now.
This is a beatifull simple blog with a great dept in it, and after re-reading I can feel a different reflection than the last time. I recognised how much I also did not want to be here and therefore I was also missing out on the magic and the joy of learning here on earth. What I for example have seen in the acceptance of being here and commiting to life, is the real magic of nature and how it communicates to me.
Student and teacher as one – what a beautiful observation of this universal truth Adele. What an antidote to arrogance and self effacement in one sentence.
No one is less, no one is more in this school.
I so enjoyed this article Adele I’m smiling from the inside out. ” Earth school and learning from Heaven’s classroom”. What I bring with me is a fantastic packed lunch, lovingly made to share with all, equally so. My classroom is full of the most amazing children.
. . . yes Marion, and your ‘packed lunch’ would no doubt be food for the soul!
“We cannot truly ‘help’ another per se by telling them what to do, but we can hold another as an equal human being and allow them the spaciousness to feel and choose for themselves.” I love this sentence. It has been a great lesson I have learnt here on earth school.
I agree Debra, and a very valuable lesson to learn. Life has become so much simpler by remembering that we are all equal in love, and that we all have the ability to change anything in our lives at any given moment.
I agree Debra, a very valuable lesson to learn indeed. It helps one remember that we are all eqaul in love, and that we all have the power to change anything in our lives at any given moment if we so choose.
When we allow ourselves to be taught by awareness, yet another level of awareness is presented. The book of awareness just gets bigger and bigger and it is a beautiful book to read.
So beautiful Adele – I embrace this School, this Classroom and all students for what are we, if not in it together – ‘all we have to do is get in there and get on with life’! Thank you for this inspiration!
Thank you Adele for your blog – it is a gorgeous celebration of life and all that life offers us when we participate fully. I too have held a deep knowing that I was not from this planet, although I had not pondered it so deeply. I was often confused as a young person as I did not feel I fitted in and was aware that there was another way to live life, which I now realise was my soul offering me the opportunity to change. At that time I resisted, and I now accept that I was not quite ready – it is amazing how many times we are offered the opportunity to choose differently until we finally let go and accept the inevitable.
So true Sue, I can relate to this!
“it is amazing how many times we are offered the opportunity to choose differently until we finally let go and accept the inevitable”.
I have really enjoyed reading this and connecting with how playfully we can view life, yet at the same time, understand a greater purpose to living.
What an amazing simple and playful blog..we will never stop learning- what a lovely picture you drawed..
Yes Steffi, Adele’s approach is gorgeous! It completely re-situates our relationship to ourselves and the world, and debases the harmful myth of grading, achievement, comparison, competition. We are set free and joyful!
So true Steffi – forever students.
Great blog Adele, reading this makes me see how futile it is to be stubborn and resist and that life is so much more simpler without the struggle. Everything is an opportunity. Very inspiring Adele.
I have wasted a lot of energy trying not to be here, endlessly confused by what I saw around me and just wanting to avoid what I saw as a mess. It was not until I was prepared to commit to life as it is and my being an integral part of it, that I was able to access the magic, joy and opportunities on offer.
I can so relate to all that you say, Matilda.
‘access the magic’ so true Matilda, the magic of true living is in connection.
This is an important observation Matilda. I too have invested extraordinary amounts of energy to merely get by in life with no actual commitment to it; in essence I have “played truant” from this school, lurking around the school gate, with all the books in my bag, just unwilling to step through the front gate.
It was an attempt to escape the hurt and confusion I was feeling at all that was going on around me.
When I made the commitment to life, and the commitment to myself in it, the resources I needed became available; “the magic the joy and opportunities”.
And I discovered they had been with me all along.
Thank you Adele, I love what you share here; and it’s one thing I remember knowing as a child; The whole life here on earth is a school. The lessons will present undoubtedly – again and again if need be. And we’re all in it together – if one person holds back, the whole class is being held back. We all affect each other.
Absolutely Rob, well said. There can be classes we like to avoid, but we know now that if we don’t learn this particular lesson this time round, we will get another chance, guaranteed, until we learn it.
I love this light and uplifting blog. It is so simple. The following sentence stands out for me. ‘Everyone is given exactly what they need to learn, to a level and depth that is relevant for more growth”. What more could we ask for.
I love your blog Adele and certainly very much relate to it. I too felt in the past that I was on the wrong planet – and still do at times when I can’t seem to get the lesson. Like you I now willingly accept and truly enjoy studying in Earth School and learning from Heaven’s Classroom. I am too choosing evolution.
‘95% of success is just turning up.’ – I love that Phil; great saying.
I just love re reading your blog Adele. It is an education in itself !
Today I am focussing on:
“All we have to do is get in there and get on with life”
It is so true for me, when I am ready, I am always OFFERED a choice to see a/the lesson in more depth.
“For many years I have not accepted being here, convinced that I have been born into the wrong country and even the wrong planet.” I can so relate to this Adele, being convinced I was in the wrong family growing up. I love this; “we can actually learn every moment, in everything we encounter. There is no need to do anything special. We just have to show up and see the lesson.” Seeing the world as less about me and more about what I can contribute has made a huge impact also.
The everyday classroom in every town works opposite to Heaven’s classroom…usually we grow up being told what to learn – we are to take in and take on the information. Whereas in Heaven’s classroom we learn what to let go of – and shed what may have been taken on. True teaching is found in The Livingness.
Heaven here on earth. Amazing!
And we are all the ones to bring it!
There are so many wise words in this blog, I especially like, ‘We are the courses, the projects, the workshops – the moment we see life and engage with it, we are learning.’ When I see life as a continual learning, I accept things more easily’.
I also wanted to add to this line susang12 – “the moment we see life and engage with it, we are learning”, because I found myself sometimes not willing to engage with life, not willing to really engage with people. But with this wonderful blog I get that I have no chance to avoid what I have to learn – I am on this planet and it is the classroom – so no way out. With that I get that it does not make any sense to be resistant, it brings me just problems and delay. So why not embrace this learning, saying yes, yes, letting go the arrogance and being playful & joyful together? Makes much more sense!
I agree Sandra, there is no way out, we are here living on this earth, and need to learn the lessons that are set for us. It is an amazing scene, isn’t it, it really makes such sense, we are here to learn.
Love the perception of being curious in and of every moment in life. To find out everything about me, this moment, situation and relationships…brings in to much playfulness.
I just love everything about this article Adele, what you are saying, how you say it, it’s magical. Even allowing the possibility that we are NOT from earth and the fact that earth could really be quite insignificant, already allows me to view ‘my life’ in quite a different way. I love not feeling like I have to ‘get’ somewhere, but rather just ‘be’ all of the time.
I agree Alison – “I love not feeling like I have to ‘get’ somewhere, but rather just ‘be’ all of the time”.
All the complexity just begins to drop away with coming back to ‘Being’ through bringing more awareness to everything.
That is absolutely the nub of it Stephanie. I am constantly surprised by how often I want to go back into ‘doing’ and ‘achieving’. It has been such an ingrained behavioural pattern. Awareness without self-judgement is such a key to accessing our text-book of life.
Well said Adele. This way of looking at our lives is so much more empowering than to think the issues or situations we have in life are a struggle or inconvenient. There is so much to learn – Earth school is cool!
Love it Melissa – Earth School is cool!
So true Melissa. Earth school is cool. It totally rocks! Seeing life as a continual learning takes us beyond the struggles and issues that we often identify with, that keeps us small and makes us a victim of life.
What a great article – it levels the playing field for all of us, and the feeling of equality for everyone in humanity as we learn and grow shines through. Thanks Adele.
Beautiful Simon – love the simplicity of what you said. Knowing that level playing field makes for a whole new way of relationship, bringing in love, support, joy, and utterly debasing competition, comparison and doubt – the latter being all disease-making ways of being.
Go Adele….such strength & depth & lightness in the way you write….I loved “We are forever students and teachers at the same time – there is no differentiation.”. I am learning – through Universal Medicine – that this is so inter-changeable at any given time. Within seconds it can change…and I love that. That sometimes you are the teacher and other times you are the student and both are such a valued position. It frees us up from giving our ‘power away to teachers all the time’ or feeling the pressure of having to be the ‘teacher’….so gorgeous.
Yes Sarah, that ‘we are forever students and teachers at the same time – there is no differentiation’ also resonated with me. That we are sometimes the student and sometimes the teacher is what being a ‘Forever Student ‘ is all about.
Hear hear Sarah! The masks and roles drop and we at last have a choice to be authentic.
I love what you say, Sarah, at different times, we can be teachers, or students. That really makes sense to me.
When we live life with seeing Earth as a school we can learn so much about ourselves, others and our world and the purpose of being here. So beautifully expressed….I also and I’m sure there are many of us that also have felt ‘what am i doing here, i don’t belong here’…but it changes when we choose to step into life and seeing it as an education with a greater purpose.
This brings awareness to something we all should be more aware of.
What you so beautifully describe Adele is earth’s highest and most natural form of education as it’s the only form of education that truly evolves us… and does so regardless of whether we are in that moment, being the student or the teacher.
I agree with you Rob.
Agree the ‘only’ education that truly evolves.
Thank you Adele for such a wonderful way of looking at” Heavens Classroom”. If only we received our education this way in Earth School! I love the revelation that we are the ” courses the workshops and projects” a truly wonderful way of learning no pressure.
“We are forever students and teachers at the same time – there is no differentiation”. This brings a whole other level to equality. No matter what our job, position or role in life, we are never above another, just constantly learning and evolving together.
Yes Amelia – it is so heart-warming. All the false hierarchy collapses in an instant.
One of the many beautiful things about Universal Medicine and what Serge Benhayon presents is that life is no longer all about me and my ‘stuff’; it is about us all, as of course it always was all along. I love this line, Adele, that in this school of life ‘everyone is given exactly what they need to learn’. All we need to do is be aware, and open and gosh, then doesn’t life start taking on a different hue. Instead of feeling drained, tired and weary suddenly the energy you once had as a child magically returns to you. Am I really in my 50’s?
Yes David; it is all about humanity
Yes is does feel like that David, when we open up and become aware, that child like energy returns and we feel years younger. We are all given exactly what we need to learn here, to support us to grow in awareness, deepen our appreciation of who we are and the world wide community we live in. Seeing that we play an essential part in the whole is vital, as we become more aware our responsibilities to ourselves and to others and that everything we do and choose does have an impact on everyone else. There is so much more for us to discover about who we truly are and Universal Medicine has many, many wisdoms to share to deepen our never ending journey.
beautifully expressed Rowena. “Seeing that we play an essential part in the whole is vital, as we become more aware of our responsibilities to ourselves and to others and that everything we do and choose does have an impact on everyone else”.
The reality of Heavens classroom here on earth school makes this possible for us all.
Absolutely David – life does start ‘taking on a different hue’ when we make life about ‘all of us’ and make that the focus rather than our individual ‘stuff’. Many of our ‘Elders’ who have chosen to live this way, will contest to the fact that they feel more joy-full and vital now than at any other time in their life. Wait for the book – coming soon!!
As one of the elders, I absolutely agree Anne that life is more joy-full and makes a lot more sense at last. My Mother had a saying, ‘I wish I had known in my early days what I know now’. To that I would add, it is never too late to learn and knowing what I know now, is such a gift, one to share as its too big to hold onto. It is never about me but all of us as one. At last school is pretty cool, as the young would say and the teachers are life’s experiences. As you say Rowena and Stephanie, as we become more aware of our responsibilities to ourselves and others, life takes on a whole new meaning. Universal Medicine has a lot of wisdom to share with us all and I deeply appreciate what it offers.
Awesome article Adele- love the fact that in earth school from heavens classroom there are no exams, nothing to remember- even though initially I had dreams of sitting exams then realising that I was approaching the livingness with “trying, needing to prove”, instead of “being” first, connecting deeply to me and trusting that all I need to know is already known in my body if I just learn to listen more.
Thank you Adele for a very powerful blog, a friend of mine was surprised when I told her we have no exams to sit for, no constant study trying to remember, and no stress about whether we will pass.This sounded very strange to her as she has been an educator herself. How wonderful to be educated by being who we truly are and living from that space. We are educated as we are educating. This is true education and it is a joy.
I feel that to be true for me also Jill – “we are educated as we are educating” – and there is no ‘pecking order’ so to speak where some may supposedly be seen to be more educated/intelligent than another – instrinsically, we are all equal, perhaps appearing to be evolving differently within our personal time frames but equal nonetheless. How truly divine is that awareness.
I love how in earth school learning from heavens classroom, everyone is equal and is learning, teaching and growing at the same time. This means there is no competition, no need for recognition or achievement. ‘No student can really be ahead of or behind another because the power of what is learned is in everyone getting it, and no one can get it until they do’. So our reflection is always teaching and in our observations we are learning. How very cool indeed. God I love god!
I enjoy the way you express Amber, the truth is delivered with simplicity and love.
I love the way you have expressed this ‘new’ way of education and ‘new’ way of learning and evolving! It is like re-writing the whole education system when we see it the way you have expressed it. And it makes our every day like a training ground for something grander. Every interaction, every day, every moment is an opportunity to learn something new and evolve. Thank you Adele!
Well said Bernadette there is no failure – teacher and student in one, takes all the pressure off, and all coming from the body, PERFECT.
Angelo it’s great to be reminded of that “no failure” constantly learning. The opposite to the current education system that I grew up with.
Adele, I just love this blog, the way you described being teacher and student at the same time. Anybody who embraces life by living like this will have access to the greatest wisdom on earth.
Your lightness of being shines through In this blog Adele, every day is a new opportunity to be our own teacher and student. Mistakes are also opportunities for deeper understanding, so there is no failure. How would it be if this philosophy was adopted in our education systems?
LOVE IT! Love the lightness, the simplicity and the depth of your expression. I feel pulled to express more of the real me, every time I read it again – WONDERFUL.
Adele,
I loved what you shared here and can truly feel so expanded just reading your sharing. If the world were living this way of education, how expansive would it be. Only equality, no one wanting to be the best or better or 1st, no-one left behind, we are all on the same journey – an journey to return back to who we are, together evolving!
Love how simply you have made it seem that its so so and possible.. I say YES to “Livingness in Earth School, Learning in Heaven’s Classroom”.
“this is the education where evolution happens”, well said Adele. Beautiful article.
I love reading how Earth School is for us All – equally. Since the first reading I have often felt in myself, ‘yes’ I’m living earth school and bring on the lessons. No more shying away and avoiding what I have thought I didn’t like. I understand more and more how it all fits into a great lesson plan to support a rounded off education if you like, there is no beginning or end but expansion from with-in.
Awesome article Adele, one I can relate to. Life makes more sense now!
“Awareness is our textbook – we teach, learn, correct, re-imprint with it. It supports our growth, our deepening, our expansion, and this evolution is what truly makes a difference.”
Adele this is such a beautiful way to see life, it takes away the struggle, the trying. It isn’t about teaching others what we have learnt along the way, it is about us just living our way, our awareness and living allows others to feel another way.
It is beautiful as its about our awareness and our living that gives another to be inspired by the way we live and not about us telling others how to live. We live and re imprint our lives with love a joy in every moment.
I love this Amita. ” We live and re imprint our lives with love and joy in every moment” I especially love the point about re imprinting . The work presented by Universal Medicine has taught me that we have a choice in every moment.the fact that we in truth hold the power in our own lives is hugely liberating.
I love how you pointed out that it takes away the struggle. I can further appreciate this now. Thank you.
That is a beautiful expansion on what Adele wrote missspringclean, really there is no difference if I live in a way that is simply me being me, allowing myself to learn and love every step of the way then this in itself is what inspires others. I can really feel the ‘naturalness’ in this as I write and and a lovely effortlessness.
I have an image in mind of everyone working together, regardless of status, learning from each other, supporting and being supported. It feels beautifully harmonious, a true way of being.
Thank you, Adele. Your article really resonates with me. I too felt like an alien on the wrong planet until I discovered the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and began understanding who and what I really am and why I am here. One benefit of this is that I no longer indulge in a kind of existential angst, fed by many books read over many years, that I was attached to revelling in.
Well said Sandra and Rebecca – ”we cannot miss it…just delay it”………”the lesson will stand there till I (and we all) get it”.
It is great to further expose these tactics we use to simply delay or attempt to sabotage our lessons in awareness. Some days flow so simply and effortlessly, there are others when the resistance is allowed in and the lesson just keeps repeating itself in one form or another until I /we get it.
Yes, hvmorden, I used to have this ‘head in the sand syndrome’ – one major thing I have learnt from Universal Medicine presentations is that fixing is so controlling and very harming (to all) and certainly does not respect the choices of others. It is lovely to feel how exhaustion is less too by letting go of this old way of being.
Thank you Adele, ” No student can really be ahead of or behind another, for the power of what is learned is in everyone getting it, and no one can get it until they do.” I also love this: “We are forever students and teachers at the same time – there is no differentiation.” No giving your power away to another, yet we can, and do, mutually inspire each other.
I know I have been inspired Sue. By the wisdom and insight of the blogs and all the comments. Sometimes when I’m totally tuned into the connections we all share, I even inspire myself!
So true Sue. I am continually inspired by the reflection that students offer and especially these blogs and the comments. That people share so openly their learnings and where they are at, is a continuos opportunity to learn from others. Reading the blogs always brings me back to me and to my body and from there truth is always felt.
Mutual inspiration. I love this Sue, and am learning all about this in Earth School at the moment. The power of reflection and how if we open ourselves up to this in our relationships, we open ourselves up to true evolution. Being open to this and letting others in feels so important. For me I have found in starting to let others in I have to see and feel the hardness and holding out I have been in – this part is not so great, but as I open more and more, it is definitely worth it.
That being open to learning is key to deepening our relationship here at ‘Earth School’. For me letting go of having to do it on my own and the ‘I should know it all’ has been an enormous learning which has given me the opportunity to accept why I am here on earth knowing we come from something much much bigger.
Beautifully expressed Adele, thank you.
It is so true that EVERY single moment in life is an opportunity for us to learn from; when we REALLY feel and know and live this from our bodies we cannot but feel the joy and the irony of the fact that we are simply and only here to return to who we are, and that every single moment is here for us and presented to us, to provide us with this most gracious opportunity and realisation.
Spot on Annette – every single moment is an opportunity for us to learn… Every interaction, activity or event can be a lesson in some shape or form.
Beautifully put Beverley.
Adele, this is one of the coolest blogs I’ve ever read. Great for us angels that sometimes get into trouble in school when we do not want to conform…
A great read, thank you.
Beverley I too was super controlling, and never even realised it as I got along with my day. I am sure I was not pleasant to be around and very imposing. It is beautiful to allow others to the space to make a choice from what they feel.
Awesome blog Adele, it strikes me when you talk about there not being one person ahead or behind another, but that we are all equally learning in our own time, and in the same way all equally making mistakes in our own time.
I can understand this one Tony – School years were a ‘nightmare’ for me – I am feeling very different about Earth School and now committed to letting every lesson show me the way back home to my inner essence.
Stephanie, this holds a beautiful image “…there is NO END to this book of awareness, it just keeps on expanding and expanding as we re-claim our inner wisdom.”
How beautiful Rosanna and Stephanie – just to bring your focus to this one stunning sentence in Adele’s blog (amongst very many stunning sentences) opens a portal into the Halls of the Ageless Wisdom and our ever-expanding awareness of life.
I love how you share your wisdom in such a simple way, Adele. The lovely thing to embrace, about the school of life is that we are both the teacher and the pupil, and whichever cap we are wearing, we have the opportunity to learn from all we encounter.
Beautiful Elizabeth – “we are both the teacher and the pupil, and whichever cap we are wearing, we have the opportunity to learn from all we encounter”.
And in fact if we don’t ‘cap’ ourselves with either role we are in fact playing both roles simultaneously which leads to an incredible openness and so further expansion!
So true Elizabeth, and Imagine how different humanity would be if all children were raised in the knowing that they are both ‘pupil and teacher’.
This blog is so huge – it will take several readings of it to fully absorb the meaning of all the content! Thank you for your gentle loving expression of all of these lessons. In humbleness, my intention is to deepen my awareness and to work on the lessons each day brings.
The earth is heavens classroom and true education means evolution … this is just wonderful and so true.
So true Alex, life never stops presenting its lessons, always giving us an opportunity to grow in awareness and love regardless of how old we are. It is us who decides when we stop wanting to go forward, stop wanting to discover more. It is extremely amazing and such a gift, one to treasure to the end of our days.
So true, “We are the courses, the projects, the workshops – the moment we see life and engage with it, we are learning.” Every moment is available to teach us something. I know I have ignored very similar, if not identical situations in my life that have reoccured until finally I pay attention and realise that there is something to learn. There is no distinction, these moments of learning are available in all spheres of our lives, if we are willing to be honest and open.
So true Samantha. Imagine the difference it would make in the world if everyone approached life as a learning experience and with the knowing that, “the moment we see life and engage with it, we are learning.” As you say, very similar, if not identical situations re-occur until we pay attention and realise that there is something to learn. We are just going around and around in circles or cycles until we learn the lessons we are here to learn. The earth spins and comes back to the same place every day. The earth moves around the sun and comes back to the same place every year, and so on. If we accepted that we are not moving forward but going around in circles until we learn the lessons we are here to learn, there would be much more responsibility in the world. Every moment is available to teach us something. We make our bed and we sleep in it until we learn to waken ourselves from the illusion. .
Love this last sentence Anne! Whoa!
This blog is filled wisdom. One of the greatest gifts I have given myself is the gift of seeing life as a school to learn and not a fight or something to get through. Thanks Adelle for sharing how you embrace life and supporting myself and many others in the process.
Very interesting blog about why we are here. Very courageous in sharing your experience of life.
What an amazing blog Adele – deeply apreciate the sheer joy, the wisdom and the humbleness. Thank you.
Being a student has never felt so wonderful.
This is so chock-full of beautiful wisdom, Adele. There are some truly sparkling gems here.
“When we meet life in every moment with the wonder that we truly are, the moment reflects this true wonder back to us.” This touched me so deeply. Thank you!
Thanks Adele, I love that the living the earth school is a continual learning all the time.
I love reading this article Adele, it is so lighthearted and reminds me not to get too attached to issues that are happening as they are merely an opportunity to learn and evolve, ‘There is no need to do anything special. We just have to show up and see the lesson.’
“When we meet life in every moment with the wonder that we truly are, the moment reflects this true wonder back to us. In the course of our education, some subjects might seem harder than others – we sparkle less brightly and may even entertain thoughts that we have failed. These too are precious, as well as pivotal, moments. If we are ready for more to be revealed, we are offered a choice to see the lesson in more depth” I love what you are expressing here Adele, our whole life is a school in which we have amazing opportunities every single day in every single moment to learn and evolve.
Wouldn’t it be great if our education sector was eventually willing to accept this criteria.
Thank you Alex, yes! Living is learning. Living is a choice to love. We can choose to live or just to get by our years not truly living. When we live, we learn and evolve. The more people choose to live, the learning is just endless, my eyes just sparkled from feeling this.
Learning in true equality is knowing everyone is in fact equal, in every moment of encounter, in any part of the world. We are no different to the person next to us in a supermarket checkout counter, a professor in the university, our best friend, the strangers we share an elevator with, our family, a customer representative who cold calls, the CEO of a multi million corporation, all the great inspirations throughout history, a newborn baby, a beggar asking for money on the street, the opposite gender etc etc…and why would we live as if we are any different when the power of learning is in us all getting it? If we uncover this why, we may all learn and advance together so much more in simplicity.
Thanks Adele – I read “If we are ready for more to be revealed, we are offered a choice to see the lesson in more depth”. Immediately I feel lighter and less heavily drawn on trying to understand things in my head. The classroom is the unfolding day and observations ahead – truly unifying – Heaven’s Classroom, just make the choice.
