I decided the other day to go and play golf: due to adverse weather conditions I had not played for some time and was really looking forward to a game. As I approached the first tee, suddenly I heard this voice behind me, asking if he could join me for a game. I said yes, of course, and introduced myself to him, saying my name was Mike; we shook hands as he said his name was God!
I teed off and hit my ball 200 yards, slightly to the right, then God teed off and hit his 350 yards straight up the middle! I watched in disbelief as it occurred to me that maybe he is God. As we walked down the fairway, I asked if he had a family and he replied “Yes, everyone is my family”…
I pondered on this as we walked down the second fairway, once again a short distance to my ball and a long, long way to my playing partner’s. Out of the blue, God asks me what I thought was wrong with the world today.
I thought, why is he asking me?… but then I replied “Many things – there are too many wars, widespread racism, general hatred, total disregard for one another, corruption on a grand scale fed by man’s greed for power – in fact, man’s utter inhumanity to each other, and that is just for starters.”
As we continued around the course, (after 3 birdies and an eagle, making God 10 shots up after 4 holes), God asked me to explain what I meant by some of my statements. With regards to racism, I said,
“No matter what colour a person’s skin, or how we look, we are all human beings; we may be different on the outside, but inside we are all alike, we all bleed red blood and feel pain and sorrow, but like everyone we all yearn to love and be loved.”
“And speaking of wars, what have we learnt over the years? – NOTHING!! Once war was sticks and stones, then bows and arrows and then guns, now it is weapons of mass destruction. When will people learn? When will we learn? We even have people blowing themselves up in your name, God, killing innocent people… but for what genuine reason?”
By this time we are walking up the 18th fairway (with God now 37 strokes in front, but who was counting) when He turns to me and says,
“Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE where people of many races, nationalities and age groups from all walks of life have got together to look at the way forward in brotherhood; supporting each other to change their outlook on life, accepting responsibility for all intentions, thoughts and actions, learning from past mistakes to be open to everybody, being loving and understanding to all… letting people know there is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world.”
Finally, as we walk off the 18th green God says “We should do this again sometime, and see how we have progressed in our thoughts, love and understanding for each other, no matter what our differences.”
I look round to say thank you by inviting him to join me at the 19th hole for a drink, but no one was there – God was gone.
Or was He?

Yes, Thank Heaven for Universal Medicine. I really would be very different today if it wasn’t for the inspiring workshops, talks and events I have been privileged to attend.
What a gorgeous sharing of true conversations. When we are willing to see the reality of the world, it supports us to know how to be in it differently and live in a way that does not add to the suffering and separation.
This business of being individuals has to be very disorienting to God. We are supposed to work together in oneness, not work one against each other. We have made it about one (self).
Yeap thank goodness for Universal Medicine and it’s simple, straightforward life is Medicine and how you live is Medicine teachings.
The part about Universal Medicine are all solid facts, not a dream at all, thank you to them, God and Mike!
This was such a beautifully light-hearted read, Mike, and one that got me to consider more deeply just how much God is with us in every moment, waiting patiently for us to connect to Him and always offering us moments to feel his presence. Also, I would say that Universal Medicine has gotten a ‘hole in one’ when it comes to offering the world a true way forward in healing and moving towards creating harmony on this planet once and for all.
Haha Michael, very true!
How often do we deeply consider the state of the world today, and what it is we have accepted as normal? For if we were to honestly open ourselves up the feeling the real extent of abuse, violence, hatred, and bullying that exists in our everyday, let alone in the world around us, would we be so accepting that this is the quality of life we all deserve to live? And what about love, and why is it that we have forgone living this quality in our lives? It is what we all crave, and it is this quality that we all rightfully and respectfully deserve to live together.
Yes, the lack of love lived in ‘loving’ jo bloggs family home is so painful when we really stop and think about it.
Gorgeous, touching and humorous blog that shares the love of God in its daily practice, as since we are here on earth, we need to embody and bring the love on earth – by our will and through our bodies. That does not mean neglecting our connection to God, but actually re-establishing it and living in the transparency of love, as we cannot hide anything anyway! The ease and purity of this blog — is profound. That is exactly what truth is and what is in us all.
I agree, our connection is always there so it is important to live transparently and committed to life in full. It is definitely the least complicated way to live.
Love this as it shows that God is there not in what we do per se but in our quality of connection.
So true Joshua, God is there always, and we are always in a relationship with Him, whether we choose to see, feel and embrace it or resist it.
What ever your golf skills… You are so on the ball there when you are talking about war and wondering if we truly have evolved from that. I agree with you that going from spears and swords to mass destruction weapons is in essence no true change as it is still killing people and we are still not being harmonious and loving with each other. The latter would be true evolution from war.
“Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE where people of many races, nationalities and age groups from all walks of life have got together to look at the way forward in brotherhood; supporting each other to change their outlook on life, accepting responsibility for all intentions, thoughts and actions, learning from past mistakes to be open to everybody, being loving and understanding to all… letting people know there is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world.”
Well said Michael and I love the story thank you.
‘There is another way to be Love and Harmony in this world’ – there sure is, and we can all be part of this if we so wish to choose and see it.
I love reading this blog Mike, it always makes me smile and realise how far away we hold God, as if we are surprised that he might talk to us -‘what me? Little old me and God?’. But what if he is everywhere always there with you and me? To consider this is to finally admit how supported and blessed we are.
“Yes, everyone is my family”… Universal Medicine, bringing the Universal back to humanity and humanity back to the Universe.
A gorgeous walk with God and one that is felt, shared and connected too by all. Thank you Mike this is glorious.
I love this blog Mike, so very refreshing and true. I wonder how your experiences have been since? God is always with us we just have to be open to listening.
“Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE where people of many races, nationalities and age groups from all walks of life have got together to look at the way forward in brotherhood; supporting each other to change their outlook on life, accepting responsibility for all intentions, thoughts and actions, learning from past mistakes to be open to everybody, being loving and understanding to all… letting people know there is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world.”
When I read this part I had joy in my heart and tears in my eyes and thanked Gods goodness for universal medicine and thank you Michael for sharing so lovely.
God is love…and we are made from Him and hence we are in essence love. How far have we come from living this truth in the world?
I would love to play golf in this way too, as it is not about counting the strokes but about how we experience life and how much we are able to express and live a more natural life as being presented by Serge Benhayon and Universal medicine and lived by its many students.
So true Doug, as my little experience with golf is like the latter, where the competition and the act of playing the ball was the point of interest, while there was so much on offer to share with one another. But seemingly we try to void the sharing and the closer contact that then can be built and instead make life about function and how good we are with it.
Actually Doug, we have to put a lot of effort in this pursuit of reducing ourselves from the grandness we naturally are. You can see this in the abusive anxious busyness many people are living in in our societies nowadays.
Loved what you have shared Mike, God always walks with us, it is we who choose to walk away.
Genius writing Mike. Read this with a smile on my face the whole time. Your relationship with God is gorgeous and his words are as wise and true as one would expect, thank you for sharing.
A beautiful read, Mike, so light-heartedly expressing what is o profound. And, indeed, thank goodness for Universal Medicine.
I agree with what God has to say 🙂
I loved reading this Mike, and what came across to me is that God has no judgment. We as a humanity have gotten ourselves into this mess, and it is for us to get ourselves out of it.
It’s true Mike we haven’t learnt very much over the last thousand or so years, we are still making the same mistakes, but God is there regardless. At the end of the day it is our choice whether we choose to be with him or not.
Thank God for Universal Medicine – goodness has nothing to do with it! It’s absolute Divinity.
When we walk with God we realise that he has never ever walked away from us, it is we who have walked away from him.
Yes! So so much to appreciate about the amazing work of Universal Medicine. Man so much has been offered to humanity through this business and an grand example of what we are all capable of.
Mike I agree with God here, if it wasn’t for Universal Medicine I know I would be shutdown to the possibility of this beautiful support and connection that is consistently available to us 24/7 from God.
It feels amazing to feel part of a group of people that live with a purpose to reignite trust in the world and to reflect that we can live in this world as a true son of God.
I love this Mike, I’m going to a wedding today I might ask God if he’ll be my date!
A beautiful encounter with God, which, you show Mike ,we can always have if we are open to it.
Big smile on my face coming across this blog again ;-). You are very well friends with God, superb – showing the equality and casualness we can naturally have with God.
I love it Mike, we could all do with a game or two of golf with God every now and then, or just learn to walk with our Soul in all it’s wisdom of course!
Thank goodness for Universal Medicine for showing me where I can take more responsibility and to deepen my own love and to see that everything the world reflects is a part of what I have chosen to create.
Gorgeous to read Mike, God walking beside us so playful it brings a smile to my face, how beautiful to know and feel the presence of God within and all around us.
This is a very endearing blog, its great to read all the different flavors of writing styles that the student body express with, thank you for the lightness and humour.
I find when I ask myself ‘what is wrong with the world today’ I am compelled to look within first and see how truly loving I am being in my life. If I want the world to change, it has to be from the inside out, from the choice to be more self-loving first. If I can present this to others, they have a reflection of another way to live and another choice to make. I feel this is the way we will choose not to have conflict in our lives and hence wars, racism et al. And yes, thank God for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, who have been offering this reflection ‘big time’ – and who offered it to me.
Golf seems to provide an endless array of yarns and stories and I love your take on hitting the ball with God. Makes me wonder what His ranking is?
Your blog always makes me smile and at the same time it makes me aware how there are still countless times in my day that I walk with all kind of thoughts in my head instead of walking with God. It is not God that is gone, it is me that is gone.
God may be with us constantly but are we truly present and walking with him side by side? When we make the choice to step not only into our full expression but in line with our all knowing truth we begin to allow the cascade of expression to flow. It is from here we see that from our choices to walk with god, he no longer is just waiting and watching life with us but equally walking side by side with love and light on our side. That is truly beautiful to envisage.
We can look at the state of the world and shake our head in sadness, disbelief, outrage, despair…..whatever is your poison (meant literally), but do we look at our contribution to this and take responsibility for this? For those who have chosen The Way of The Livingness, we are not perfect, but there is a commitment to deepening this responsibility more and more and recognising the quality of the reflection we offer humanity is what is going to shape the way humanity lives as a whole.
We all know in our hearts what is going on in the world and what is wrong with what we have created but actually initiating the changes we know we have to is the next step we all need to collectively take – and for those who are struggling with these steps others will need to both inspire and help them for no one is to be left behind.
“Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE ’ Absolutely, where would I be now without Universal Medicine, not with God that’s for sure.
Thank goodness for people like you Mike, who tell us how it is in a very real and down to earth way.
Thank you for this beautiful conversation, Mike.
In truth everyone is our family – humanity is one big family, to create divisions out of nationality, culture, ethnicity, blood lines, skin colour, religion is just a man-made way of putting up walls and borders and creating identities for ourselves that keep us in the illusion that some are more important than others and that we are separated from one another, rather than accepting and appreciating the fact that innately everyone is equal in essence and that all we do affects everyone and everything all the time.
“man’s utter inhumanity to each other”. In amongst the light-hearted and playful words are some serious messages. I love how easily you expose the corruption, and how accurate you are in portraying what Universal Medicine has represented in its student body; a huge group of people with a love of all people.
I asked if he had a family and he replied “Yes, everyone is my family”… I have come to realise that indeed everyone is our family which feels so much more expansive and true, and being true, then we each and every person have a responsibility to love ourselves so that we may love all others and walk the earth path in brotherhood.
This blog does remind me that God is always with us if we are open to the possibility and when we do, we will come to understand more of the nature of who we actually are and that in fact we are equal to him.
Mike this is so cute – I love that you played golf with God, what if we could also go to the shops with God? or go to the bank with God? In fact, what if we could be in constant communion with God?
‘This is ‘Evidence’ that God lives within and that we all have access to this wisdom anytime – even on the Golf Course. Now it is time to put it into practice. Thanks Mike.
Living with everyone as family should be the bare minimum of how we all, as a humanity, relate to one another… we have a lot of work to do.
Love it Mike. When I was young, God frequently appeared in my conversations with myself and we would talk philosophy, I still cherish these encounters today.
I love the equality in your relationship with God here Mike. It has been my experience also that God is an awesome companion to share and ponder on life with.
I love reading this blog Mike, it tickles me pink everytime. Today I wondered if this surreal, humorous proposition is not as crazy and unusual as we might think, and that God is constantly having these sorts of conversations with us, but that we just flat out ignore them or don’t talk back. For in the day, in the people meet, conversations we have and places we go we are certainly shown the truth and anything that we want to know, and in the most loving and playful way. In golf they have competition called ‘The masters’ but God has a way of showing us there’s no need to compete – we are all born masters, naturally.
I think God is on to something Mike, Universal Medicine must be doing something right..
I love how God is always there alongside us. Whether we are standing on a golf course or waiting for the train. When we accept God into our lives and the love we hold within, life begins to change and our world begins to open up. The world becomes one big reflection of what life has on offer for us to learn and teach and that is deeply inspiring. Thank you Mike.
When we are with ourselves we are with God, and our knowing for what is true and what is not, is clear. Within us all, we all know truth. The world today is because of what we have all chosen, through everything we live every day. When we begin to accept taking responsibility for the degree of love we choose to live in our everyday lives, we then will begin to live the unified truth that we all innately know.
I love the fact that we can choose to live in a way that we feel our connection to God in every situation – but how much am I willing to do this? Your blog inspires me to deepen my connection and to choose to live this truth more each day.
Your blog always makes me smile Mike, God is with us wherever we are, all we have to do is to choose to be with him.
God is in fact never ‘gone’. Good to become aware of this. If it looks like that there is no God-Energy – like there is no love, no unity, no connection, no harmony – we can ask ourselves ‘who brought that in?’
Love God’s appreciation of what is on offer from Universal Medicine and the lightness of your writing Mike, thank you.
God is with us everywhere always open to having a conversation and provoking reflection of where we are at personally and as humanity. The question is are we ready to listen?
There is so much in this blog that relates to how we might think about God and what is true about God. For instance the line: “I thought, why is he asking me?” We can believe that God only has the answers but in truth we all do and are more capable to make a change as we live here physically on earth.
love the last line – where you asked God to join you for a drink, but he was not there. Comical, but revelatory all the same, for it is not that God would not be there is such a situation, but in making such a decision to change our level of awareness by taking such a substance, we would by default be the ones who are not joining God for a drink at the well of eternal love. Of course, it is not just through alcohol that we reduce our awareness of his forever immanent presence by our side.
God is with us wherever we go – even we may not realise it. But are we with God?
I love reading this. God isn’t a stranger! But here with us in all our walks of life whoever we are.
Brilliant Mike, this gives a new meaning to a (w)hole in one. The truth is God is as playful, funny and as ever present as you say.
I love to walk with God also Mike and to do that all that is needed is for me to remember to walk with my heart leading the way.
The truth is that God does not align to us unless we align to Him. Yet, He walks with us all the time. It is us who have to decide whether to walk with Him too.
When we look at the wars we still have let alone all the abuse that goes on behind closed doors it does beg the question what have we really learnt from our past actions? And some of our greatest weapons of mass destruction today are not a bomb but cyber-abuse, the malevolent word on the internet, the corruption of our news and media disseminating lies and the crushing of true intelligence through our education system as it is…
Universal Medicine inspired me to see that God is within us everyday and that every movement we make is an extension of our love for the divine, making every movement an opportunity to expand on our next movement and so on and so forth.
Thank God for Universal Medicine – and I do. It is the true way out of the mess we as humans have created here on Earth and need to take responsibility for, but in-truth do not and have never belonged to.
We all hold within us the template of what it means to live in Brotherhood, simply because this is who we are in essence, all of the same source of Love, and so it is only natural that we crave to re-turn to live in the harmony of this Divine union. Thank you Mike for this powerful reminder.
I absolutely agree with you Mike, we do all yearn to love and be loved. It is our natural state of being to deeply and truely love (ourselves and others), to emanate love in everything we do. Reading your blog is a great reminder to be open to receiving love without need or expectation.
I had the biggest grin on my face reading this and goosebumps from head to toe as I read the end. Thank you Mike. This is how simple it can be having a conversation with God. And he has never gone, it is always us that choose to leave our connection to him.
I loved your blog Mike, thank you for sharing that God is everywhere, there is not a place where He is not, we can know this by our connection to our essence and the magic of nature all around us.
Beautiful Mike. Universal Medicine has shown me that God is there and speaks to us whenever we truly connect to our inner-heart and listen.
A wonderful reminder Mike to appreciate all that Universal Medicine offers us, it is indeed unique and divine. Also, as you have so wisely pointed out, to walk and converse with God is entirely a choice we make each and every moment.
Love your blog Mick and so true Universal Medicine is unique in that there is not an ounce of racism, nationalism, nor gender, age and religious discrimination within the Teachings. Only unity, harmony, love, brotherhood, understanding and respect for all of humanity. Unique indeed.
‘“Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE where people of many races, nationalities and age groups from all walks of life have got together to look at the way forward in brotherhood; supporting each other to change their outlook on life, accepting responsibility for all intentions, thoughts and actions, learning from past mistakes to be open to everybody, being loving and understanding to all… letting people know there is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world.”’
Love the way you put this Mika. Yes it is simply about responsibility, and the freedom that comes when we let go of any self sabotaging guilt, frustration and regret that keeps us away from moving forward is amazing, and brings the pure joy of working with God daily.
“God was gone….Or was He?” This just shows how some times we are so in tune and connected and we feel God around us all the time and other times we are fighting for that glimpse. Just goes to show we can be in disconnect all the time if we choose too,or connection in any moment.
“God was gone….Or was He?” We are forever and always held in God’s love, it is impossible for it to be otherwise, but we can choose to turn away and not to feel it…….being with God is always our choice.
Changing the world one thought at a time. I can point to all the wrongs in the world, but if I entertain one thought that leans towards intolerance or anger, revenge or anything that is less than love, then I am in it. So although I can stand for what is ethical and loving, I need to be sure that I am doing all I can from the inside out. Sincere responsibility, true responsibility changes everything.
At a guess I’d say most people would agree with your description of what is wrong with the world. If we all agree then how is it that that’s what we live with?
Perhaps God is always there waiting to speak to us. Perhaps we don’t let him in or hear what he has to say. Perhaps God is within us all along.
There is an extraordinary amount of hatred and suffering in the world, and looking back makes it clear we have not evolved past our choices of the past…. We have a lot to learn and an enormous amount of love and understanding to embrace before we start to reverse what is normal. But it is our responsibility to look to and start with ourselves first.
Love it Mike, I felt the utter frustration of how silly we are all being with the separation that results in war, hate, racism and greed. It is crazy that man can do this to man. Yet it is true, we are all from God and loved by God so judgement is a waste. Thank you for the smile and the reminder.
I really love this sharing Mike!
As God can never be “gone” its great to be reminded of our own responsibility to connect with him through loving ourselves. I love your light hearted but truthful sharing.
“God was gone….Or was He?” When we choose to connect God, he is there, it is never God leaving us but we leaving God and not appreciating all that God is.
We can have these amazing conversations with God any time, your blog reminds me that He is always with us no matter where or what we are doing. It simply is our choice to connect to him or not.
Every time we choose to connect to our bodies and focus on the quality of our movements we are connecting to God and to the endless wisdom of the universe.
God is inside us, in our true expression so when we speak from our essence we speak the words of God.
Mike I was not aware that God is such a good golf player – wow God is really everywhere to reminds us from where we come.
God is with us in everything we do and everywhere we go but we do not always appreciate his company. When we share and connect with him He becomes the foundation of our livingness and his support is endless.
Thanks Mike – I enjoyed your sense of humour and the underlying points in the blog. It made me realise that my appreciation of God can sometimes be conditional when in fact God is there constantly and me dipping in and out doesn’t change that in any way. There is much in the world that isn’t working well but the one major thing I can do to support change is to keep the channels open so that there is a two way communication between God and myself. I know beyond doubt that Universal Medicine is supporting me and countless others in developing this way of Livingness.
God is never gone… he is always waiting patiently for us when ever we feel to connect to the all that is around us in every moment, and in every thing.
A joy and a laugh to read.
Mike I enjoyed the balance of light heartedness and jesting yet intertwined in your writing was a deep sensitivity and care about the world. It brought me to appreciate how both these qualities are super important. For me quite recently I have been exploring in an energetic sense how bringing awareness to my own hurts with a lightness lets them rise to the surface and let go, as opposed to seeing them with heaviness and criticism, which only prevents them from rising.
I like your god dream Mike. Sounds like it awoke the god within.
I love these conversations where the love is what holds and allows the truth that is known by us all to be expressed. When doubt holds no place within us and there is only our re-connection to who we truly are – every conversation is healing and God is forever present. Thanks Mike.
‘As we walked down the fairway, I asked if he had a family and he replied “Yes, everyone is my family”… ‘ God makes no distinction between us all, he never judges, and his love is always unconditional.
Thank you Mike for a great blog, reminding me to appreciate that God is ever present, all around, within and without, holding us all within his love.
Absolutely thank goodness for Universal Medicine and The Way of the Livingness – shining light into all the dark places and providing a way forward for all.
Reading this blog I was struck with amazement at the breadth and depth of what God is and offers us all equally. It’s not like I haven’t know this, but it’s a long while since I have stopped and allowed myself to really appreciate the significance of this fact. It’s crazy that we look anywhere else for small and big answers to our individual and collective lives here on this earth.
Re-visiting this blog has allowed me to go more deeply into my appreciation of the presence of God in life. Always there, always loving, always patient and always holding us without any request, other than to be who ‘all’ of who we truly are.
Beautifully said ch1956. God is providing us with such a beautiful reflection – if he can do this for us then perhaps we can do this for ourselves and others.
A great recipe of wisdom for addressing many of the world’s ills and afflictions is nestling right there in one of your later paragraphs, Mike – ‘accepting responsibility for all intentions, thoughts and actions’. Sounds simple? It is, once we realise it’s all and only about choice and will.
Mike the awareness and understanding that you bring is what turns this world around and what will ultimately brings us back to being equal children of God. We may never beat him at golf, but will walk with him eternally.
We never say no. We only say yes to different energies. If someone chooses war instead of love, there is a deep hurt that protects this choice. Universal Medicine supported me to understand these dynamics and to start to unravel the deep patterns of protecting the choice for individuation.
God is with us all the time- even on the golf course! And this is the same for everyone- He is with everyone if we choose to communicate with Him.
Accepting responsibility for all that we do and even think is what allows us to really change our life and start establishing relationships, that are based on love instead of need or desire – and all because with taking responsibility, we start building a solid relationship with ourselves.
“No matter what colour a person’s skin, or how we look, we are all human beings; we may be different on the outside, but inside we are all alike, we all bleed red blood and feel pain and sorrow, but like everyone we all yearn to love and be loved”, this is great, the whole of humanity need to see life like this, however so many are caught in the self causing wars, racism, therefore those of us who are choosing love need to continue to build this foundation to continuously be able to reflect to the rest of humanity.
I love this point Joseph and Stephanie – that every moment is a conversation with God, and in fact I realise that God is conversing with us all the time and that it is just whether or not I am choosing to be aware of this and listen!
I love this blog, it clearly represents that we are all equal, and are able to have a connection with god, in whatever we do, the connection is always there to be cherised and deepened in every moment of the day.
I’m with God on this. Thank him for Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon.
Great blog, playing golf with God with much to ponder and discuss, and let’s thank God for Universal Medicine. I have no idea where I would be at in my life right now without it.
How I much I let God in is directly linked to how loving I am with myself in my day to day living.
The humanity, and one-ness about us all that this blog clearly portrays is so warming and lovely in my body to feel.
Yes, I can relate to this Joshusa – there is a real warmth in “one-ness about us all” which is vastly different from the cold, damp feeling of separation I used to feel.
Even just feeling this difference is like comparing the warmth of a loving tender hug to the coldness of a hard handshake
Why does our modern society focus so much on the differences instead of admitting and appreciating how similar we all are in our uniqueness?
I liked the playfull but true blog, thanks Mike
What a beautiful conversation with god Mike, and what an amazing round of golf; irrespective of the score!!
With great joy, appreciation and gratitude I also say thank goodness for Serge Benhayon and Universal medicine.
Yes, I am in agreement with you esteraltmiks – It is all about all of us re-turning to the already known truth and wisdom of who we really are – Divine beings in our core essence and re-claiming and expressing from this, in full:
“it seem that it is time that we too not hold back to tell everyone about it”.
I completely agree with God when he says, “Thank goodness for Universal Medicine.”
Approaching God in such a natural and playful manner is something I used to do as a kid and you invite me to reconnect to this communication again, Mike, thanks.
Hi Mike I love your blog and envy you your game of Golf with God ! You must have had fun asking all the questions that you have saved up from childhood on, and it sounds like you received some great answers too . Great sharing Mike.
God is about love, allowing, accepting, understanding, connecting…. how crazy or disconnected people can be to fight in his name when he is all the opposite?
Obviously the best…golf…game….ever. Thanks Mike.
‘For the harm I did to myself and others, though not criminal or large scale, was nonetheless harm and there seemed no other way’, well said Mark. The more I heal my own hurts and live true to who I am, I realize that so many of my old ways were emotional, self driven, demanding, manipulative, imposing, self abusive etc, the list goes on, and these are the so called normal behaviours of society. There was nothing criminal about it, on the surface I was a lovely girl to woman. Now I can see that I too did not seem to know how to live any other way, I knew there was another way but I just could not seem to make it happen. I also thank God for Universal Medicine.
‘all our emotions and behaviours are just a facade masking the fact that we are that Amazing Love’ so true Floris…
Great blog Mike, you reveal a casualness yet great care and consideration from yourself and what God may be like himself.
God never goes away. He never walk away from us. It is us who walked away from Him and who have the opportunity to walk back to him again.
In fact, as of late, I discover more and more how walking allows to connect to Him and how empty is life if we only make it about us as human beings.
The truth simply stated Eduardo – “God never goes away. He never walk away from us. It is us who walked away from Him and who have the opportunity to walk back to him again”.
For years I held a belief that somehow I had done something so terrible that everyone else would be accepted by God, but I would be turned away. I know now that this is a trick played out in the mind to keep me further separated and empty from that which I know is true.
I am with you Eduardo – walking and connecting deeper with Him on every single footstep.
Mike, I love your conversation with God, and how beautiful it was on the golf course to be walking with Him. I endorse how you shared with him all the problems you see in our world, I recognise them all. It is quite a mess isn’t it. But I absolutely agree with God’s comment to you “Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE where people of many races, nationalities and age groups from all walks of life have got together to look at the way forward in brotherhood; supporting each other to change their outlook on life, accepting responsibility for all intentions, thoughts and actions, learning from past mistakes to be open to everybody, being loving and understanding to all… letting people know there is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world.” I too give heart-felt thanks to Universal Medicine and all it and Serge Benhayon have shared with us to enable us to change our lives. Through working with them, and all those involved with Universal Medicine, practitioners and students alike, I know it has transformed my life, and through that, I take that love and understanding out into the world. Yes, the key is for us all eventually be moving forward in brotherhood. It is no longer about self.
A lovely blog to come back to. Universal Medicine has shown us that by simply re-connecting to who we truly are, we can live in joy and harmony with ourselves and those around us.
I was very touched to read your beautiful blog Mike, thank you. Especially the line:
“Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE where people of many races, nationalities and age groups from all walks of life have got together to look at the way forward in brotherhood; supporting each other to change their outlook on life, accepting responsibility for all intentions, thoughts and actions, learning from past mistakes to be open to everybody, being loving and understanding to all… letting people know there is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world.”
“Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE where people of many races, nationalities and age groups from all walks of life have got together to look at the way forward in brotherhood; supporting each other to change their outlook on life, accepting responsibility for all intentions, thoughts and actions, learning from past mistakes to be open to everybody, being loving and understanding to all… letting people know there is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world.” And this is so true, I love your words Mike.
I felt like quoting God today… “Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE where people of many races, nationalities and age groups from all walks of life have got together to look at the way forward in brotherhood; supporting each other to change their outlook on life, accepting responsibility for all intentions, thoughts and actions, learning from past mistakes to be open to everybody, being loving and understanding to all… letting people know there is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world.” There is definitely another way to live and a way of healing so that life becomes more about the ‘all’ and less about the self”. I am also learning through my own experience that true healing can not be compartmentalised, as you resolve issues of hurt truly you do not attempt save your love or your ‘like’ for specific people, true healing opens your heart to all equally.
Beautifully said Samantha. The true healing that Universal Medicine presents is about healing oneself, but not for oneself primarily. When we truly heal what we are doing is releasing the hurts that have made us sick in the first place, and by healing the hurts we are then able to open up to everyone equally. Thus it is not exclusive, but absolute in its inclusiveness. And what’s more, this way of living inspires others to do the same. So yes, as Mike wrote in his blog, “Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE where people of many races, nationalities and age groups from all walks of life have got together to look at the way forward in brotherhood”.
So lovely Mike and such a Joy to read. That God is with us every step of the way through the many messages and signs that life and nature is showing us. Thanks to Universal Medicine I am accepting and seeing this more and more and it is a joy to connect to.
Beautifully expressed Danna. ‘ God is with us in every step we take, it is how close we let him near us – love in ineffable and equally for everyone’ this is so true, it is how close we let God near us, he is there for us every step of the way. I am realising that this is simply down to the choices I make, how I much I Let God in is directly linked to how loving I am with myself in my day to day living.
Feeling my own presence in my body is the start to my connection to God as God comes from within. God is a oneness with all equally and will communicate with everyone in whatever form needed. Dreams, nature, impulses from our hearts are lovely gentle ways. If needed, God can turn the volume up to whatever level to get our attention, this is usually less pleasant and unexpected and sometimes rejected as messages from God. But everything is divine communication it is up to us how we interpret and accept it and accept.
I love what you have shared here Mike. God forever with us, speaking, guiding, watching and questioning at times especially when we go off tee, but ever loving and patient. I enjoyed the playfulness of your blog.
I saw a cloud yesterday that looked like a big hand that had its palm facing the heavens and its fingers curled as if holding something very delicate like a butterfly. At the same time there was an airplane flying right into it. I stood and watched standing next to a telegraph pole; its wires spreading out to the nearby houses. The way that I ‘read’ the scene was: Live the great light that you are and you will be in connection with the all, you take flight. You are always held in God’s love. I can feel the playfulness of such communications, like yours Mike, the more I allow myself to be in connection to His presence, which is always through my own.
Jinya, thank you for sharing this, it is beautiful. I have a vivid sense of this cloud and telegraph pole picture you describe here – every hair on my body suddenly ‘stood up on’ and there is an expansion all through my spine and chest and a feeling that we are always (humanity) standing connected, hand in hand together, supported in the infinite and eternal Love of God (whether we are aware of it or not).
“Live the great light that you are and you will be in connection with the all, you take flight. You are always held in God’s love
That is so beautiful Jinya, the experience and your reading and expression of it. It reveals how taking time and space to observe what is happening around us connects us to the truth within us, just as you say “the more I allow myself to be in connection to His presence, which is always through my own.”
As you mention time and space in your comment Joan – it feels pertinent to add there is a new ‘purple book’ (its cover) available by Serge Benhayon – ‘Time, Space and all of us’ which is well worth reading – as I am sure you already have discovered! (https://www.universalmedicine.com.au/publishing/time-space-and-all-us)
Thank you for sharing this Jinya – we are all held in God’s love – when we are feeling disconnected there is always something there to remind us and when we are feeling great there is something to confirm this – God is in constant communication if we choose to listen and his sense of humour is a constant source of deep amusement.
There’s nowhere that god isn’t, including the golf course. The irony is that the times I have felt forsaken by god or lost are the times when I myself have chosen to turn my back on god (and not him forsaking me). In other words, connection is ultimately a choice.
Indeed a choice in every moment, hence we are either with him or without him, although he is with us anyway all of the time.
All the calamity we know in the world is simply people looking outside of themselves for love – it is within us all along and this I feel is what the presence of God in daily life reminds us of.
This comment gemmarubina states so simply how important it is to choose connection with ourselves which means connection to God in every moment….I feel this as walking hand in hand with God in love and equalness.
Anne McVeigh
What a pleasure to walk along the golf course with you and God, Mike. To be inspired of your playfulness with this article – to learn from you and from God and to be aware, that God in fact introduces himself to us in every single moment of our life.
Realising that only together we can bring changes to this world and feeling the power that true support has is just amazing.
Absolutely Mike – Thank God for Universal medicine. As you share ‘letting people know there is another way’.
I love the playfulness and lightness of this post Mike. A wonderful way to share about God.
Reading your blog, Mike, and the wonderful comments what I sense is a growing acceptance of the ever-present relationship we can have with God, which I feel is due to a greater acceptance of ourselves and that we truly are worthy of His Love.
What an gorgeous dream to have Mike and thank you for the reminder that God is always there right next to us ready to listen.
What a gorgeous blog. It is so simple and everyday which is how our relationship with God can be. And how true that Universal Medicine is calling us back to brotherhood, the one thing that will heal all.
Fiona. Once the world realises we are all brothers in this life, what a fantastic healing the world will achieve.
What a great blog God is truly always around us all, to talk to no matter what life we lead he has no discrimination .
It is a very solid feeling God being just an ordinary regular being, just like we are – nothing to idolise, be wary or fearful of, just to be ourselves and walk hand in hand together -yes, He is a really cool Dude – with us all, all of the time!
Thank you Tricia. God will always listen to us, no matter how small our problem may be.
He cares for us all throughout our lives.
I love this blog, Mike, it brings into focus much of ‘what is truly going on in our world; and the “Absolute Blessing and True Way of Being that Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are constantly and consistently delivering to support us in every way to address the Mess in our World”.’
Mike what a confirmation for you of the Love, Joy and Truth you are now choosing for your life.
Anne McVeigh
This is a beautiful dream Mike so real and so true and I love all you share so simply . God is always with us to talk to and just be with us if we are open to listening.Thank you 🙂
Wonderful blog, Mike – isn’t it great to have the awareness that God is with us at all times. I constantly thank Him for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine which are inspiring so many to live in love and truth, thus helping to bring peace and harmony to the world.
Lovely blog, The thing that stands out is the way god is no different than any of us, and surely, thank god for Universal Medicine.
Mike its a great point about the fact of everyone in Universal Medicine looking at “the way forward in brotherhood”. I recall my life was first and foremost about me, about what I could get for me and how I could better myself. It was rife with competition yet a million miles from the gentle, tender and deeply loving child I remember. As you bring in the word brotherhood it reminds me of how over the years since coming to Universal Medicine I’ve felt more and more the connection with others and the impact this has on everyone. Brotherhood brings a whole different purpose to life than just bettering oneself and its a great blessing that so many others also are committed to living a way forward in brotherhood – its certainly something that has been missing from the way of life that is common for the majority of the population.
Thank you Judith. God is always there for all to talk with him. He is a great listener.
Amazing Mike! You inspired the most light-hearted conversations about God on this blog that I have ever come across. It is a delight to read through all the comments.
We are never alone, full stop! We choose to numb and not feel God is with us sometimes on life’s journey. When we feel the presence of God, we don’t feel alone, but we are supported the whole time.
Mike, you keep this lighthearted but there is so much truth here that God is present with us in all we do, all the tough decisions we make and a lot of the time I have been unaware and felt alone which was a total illusion. When we feel the presence of God, we are never alone.
I love it, never knew God was so good at golf. It disproves that God is a almighty being who is just up in the clouds looking down to us. In your instance he is playing golf with you as a equal.
This is such a playful and open conversation with God. Such a simple and great reminder that it really only ever needs to be this simple. The Joy and playfulness is sharing how God is. No need to make him this big and serious higher source or being, just a mate, an equal brother walking beside you. Thank you.
Well stated Natalie – I love how simplicity and awareness of our breath are key steps to bringing us back to Joy and thus being able to feel and know God intimately within as a mate and equal brother – no seriousness or suffering required – “The Joy and playfulness is sharing how God is. No need to make him this big and serious higher source or being, just a mate, an equal brother walking beside you”.
Thanks Mike for a great blog, and yes thank goodness for Universal Medicine for bringing together people from different walks of life and races with the common purpose to live a life based on love, harmony, respect and understanding for one another. This is definitely the only way forward, and you have given me a beautiful reminder of how God is with us at all times.
This is a great blog Mike. For me I felt tremendous humour in this blog and I loved it. For me it also reminded me that God is in every single moment, thank you for sharing.
I have a sense that God is an intimate Observer in our lives, that he lives and breathes every experience with us, feels everything and is a very real part of our ‘aliveness’ – so much so that I feel that we are less alive when we choose to ‘play golf’ or do anything without an awareness of his presence. To deny his presence is to deny our own fullness and to reduce our livingness, leaving us to live in the emptiness of our disconnection from him – perhaps even numbing ourselves on the 19th?
I love your expression here Richard – “God is an intimate Observer in our lives, that he lives and breathes every experience with us, feels everything and is a very real part of our ‘aliveness’”.
I feel that if we don’t choose to be more aware and in presence with ourselves, it is more difficult to be aware of His Presence in our lives in every moment, which as you say leaves us “to live in the emptiness of our disconnection from Him”.
This emptiness (lack of fullness) demands to be filled with something to numb out this feeling of deep loss (disconnection) and can take many forms – food, TV, alcohol, drugs and many more – just pushing beyond what the body constantly reminds us of is true for it.
I agree Stephanie, the key really is to be more aware and present with ourselves and also to accept ourselves more in our beauty and preciousness. We won’t allow ourselves to feel God if we think we do not deserve him.
So true Stephanie. If we do not fill our moments with God we leave a big gap that we then crave to fill with other things that do not serve us.
Agree 100% Stephanie and deeply appreciate your expression Richard and taking it deeper. We can not be aware of God unless we are aware of ourselves.
I totally agree with your comment richardmills363 and a wonderful reminder for me to recommit to feeling God as a real, loving and breathing presence in my everyday living..because I too feel the emptiness of not choosing this for myself.
Anne McVeigh
Beautifully said Richard, God is ever present, we feel his presence when we are connected to ourselves.
Yes Kehinde. I am reminded that God has never abandoned us but that we have walked away from him.
Mike this is a wonderful and playful approach to God and Golf, Gods card is pretty jolly good! Thanks for this reflection that we are always able to breathe with god – and play golf!
To breathe with God is the connection that I have always sought, but forgot all about. To make it something so physical and tangible makes it accessible for everyone, which is something that is not possible if one follows the mainstream religions. To breathe with God is to be with and in God and have God inside.
Yes! Good, physical reminder ‘We are always able to breath with God’. And we gracefully get some free Breath-Meditations from Universal Medicine for support under:http://www.unimedliving.com/meditation 🙂
Yes Jinya – God is only a breath away – all we have to do is choose this. Thank you for the link to the Gentle Breath Meditations Sandra – they are so inspiring and offer much support for anyone wanting to choose to make different choices.
I mean how close is God that it takes just one breath to be with him? Actually he is even closer than that, not even a breath away, at least from his perspective…, tcha, but we need eyes to see and ears to hear and … a nose to breath, with other words, it is up to us to choose being with him as he is always with us and never is he not with us.
That’s so beautiful, Simon. The more we express our truth, the more we open ourselves up to divinity and the possibility of divinity expressing through us.
Love this playful blog Mike. A reminder that God walks with us in all we do…..even playing golf!!
I have just read your blog for the second time Mike and I love the lightness it brings. Thank you.
Great dream Mike – God certainly knew where to find you!
Shirley -Ann. God is always acceptable. He will never turn against you, or turn you away.
A great twist how God asked you, Mike, about the world and humanity – There is something in this, about how God wants us to express, if I can put it playfully like that!
And through expressing, we learn a lot about ourselves and open up to the possibility of the divine expressing through us.
‘…open up to the possibility of the divine expressing through us.’ – a great sentence Simon, it is all about not holding back our own innate wisdom, learning to express truth and not measure that down.
So true Eva – how different the world would be if we ALL chose to return to that which is innately within and live with and express this way by simply letting the truth and wisdom flow through us without measure. Thank God for Universal Medicine – it has been a deep inspiration to many to return to within, to this Livingness that Serge Benhayon lives and reflects 24/7.
I love reading this blog again Mike. It reminds me that God is in our every day lives.
I love your dream Mike. It shows us the reality we can have if we choose it.
Well and simply said Rebecca – it all comes down to choice.
Rebecca. You are so right in your comments. We all have choices in life.
Playing golf with God – what an amazing dream for a golfer and how amazing to have God as a partner; and isn’t He ever so good at it, or is He? No matter, the truths about human behaviour that you bring home are pertinent and won’t go away until we make different choices, individually and as a one humanity.
The good news is that nobody has to wait for anyone to just start making different choices NOW. And as an individual I contribute to the one humanity anyway. So let´s get going.
Mike, just love this blog, keep coming back to it. This sentence, “Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE where people of many races, nationalities and age groups from all walks of life have got together to look at the way forward in brotherhood; supporting each other to change their outlook on life, accepting responsibility for all intentions, thoughts and actions, learning from past mistakes to be open to everybody, being loving and understanding to all… letting people know there is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world.” I too give huge thanks for Universal Medicine, where would I be without it? I have come to realise just what a mess I was in before I became aware of this wonderful organisation and Serge Benhayon. I just love being with all the people of all races, nationalities and age groups when they come together at Universal Medicine activities. There is such a beautiful feeling of brotherhood among us, complete equality. A very big thank you to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for the opportunity to know the TRUTH of how things are and CAN BE.
I can sign this Beverley, I have come to realise in what a mess I was in before Universal Medicine came along. And since then -over 10 years ago- Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon are by my side, helping me cleaning up my mess and become the true serving person I am meant to be. So really: Thank God for Universal Medicine!
Gets my signature as well. Total ditto to all that has been shared.
Absolutely agree Beverley, and likewise my thanks and appreciation for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine is beyond words.
I agree, Stephanie. I’ve accepted a lot of what has been ‘told’ to me during my life, taking on other people’s ideals and beliefs. However, as soon as I started listening to the teachings of Universal Medicine, there was a knowingness that deep inside, I know this already, like a hum in my body. Yes, there were things I heard that were very confronting and challenged the way I’ve been living, but never for a moment have I questioned if it’s the truth or not. I know it is, I feel it throughout my whole being. It’s so liberating to finally be enlightened about what’s really going on in this world of ours, and to have the choice to live with greater responsibility.
So true Yasmin. God is there for us all 100% 24/7, it’s up to us to let him in. To be open to the communication and embrace the love that’s being offered, always. First step is developing that relationship with ourselves, learning to love and appreciate all that we are. However long that takes us, God is always there, he’s not going anywhere. Just love that.
I love this blog Mike. God is with us always and with that, our shared wisdom too.
I love reading this blog again Mike it’s so light and yet so playful, the more we make god a part of our every day lives, the more we accept ourselves and really we are never alone
Mike’s blog is a beautiful reflection of how light and playful life is when we allow our connection to God to just be.
Yes so honest and natural as well. I like that as well.
We are all one big family, despite of our different surnames. And planet earth is our home, despite of the borders we have created. And God is everywhere, always with us where ever we go. What happened?
Mariette. I love your last line. “What Happened” The world has lost sight of what love and truth are all about. Until l we get rid of corruption, greed and absolute power, we will still be locked in. Love, Truth and Harmony are the way forward with out a doubt. Come on world, come home to what is needed.
In this ‘Game of Life’ the best practice I know is to keep to your centre, connect with all players regardless of team, make sure there is a level playing field, never keep score, stay with the play, oh, and keep your eye on the ball. Much like God does really.
I love the light-hearted expression here Barbara – the words seem to dance, enjoying their contribution to the sentence.
I love this Barbara, especially about connecting with everyone and as equals…because in this there is no comparison, no competition, no need for wars, fighting or jealousy.
Beautiful, playful comment, Barbara, love it. Connection with everyone is the key.
This is lovely, Mike. a beautiful reminder of the closeness of God and indeed Thank Goodness For Universal Medicine!
I agree Jonathan, indeed “Thank Goodness for Universal Medicine!”
Yes Doug almost as fun as playing golf, only kidding. A bit of fun with God is always better than golf.
Thanks Kathleen, the beauty in your comment is that it reminds me that God loves to interact through lightness and fun, and for me to allow more of this lightness of expression throughout my day.
Just as you are Rosemary, just as you are lightness and fun.
Brilliant Mike, I love it that God is always there to be in touch with and talk to. I particularly like that he answered you with ‘ everyone is my family ‘ … we all are and each others family.
This would really need to take a huge shift in todays way of thinking and living in order for the world to see that we are all one and the same and yet on a very deep level I can feel the yearning for this to take place from each and every person I come in contact with.
Yes I agree aminatumi, there is a deep yearning within people to connect with others as all one family. People really love coming together and I’ve found are really open to connecting to whatever the situation once someone’s initiated conversation.
I agree, aminatumi, deep within, we all yearn for true love, if only we realised it. This is the big thing that actually connects us. It is up to those of us who have found it, to take it out into the world, so people can feel it. It is up to them how they respond, their choice.
I guess God makes a good role model with his attitude of ‘everyone is my family’.
We could try to equal him. I am sure we would be amazed by how much all our lives would immediately change.
Well said Gill. To have the knowing that our connection with God is always right there and just a simple choice away is very supportive. A true confirmation that all the support we require is right there for us with no need for an outer search.
All the things, which we do not like about our society, the world, and ourselves are now being addressed by Universal Medicine. The Way of The Livingness is showing self-responsibility and unity for all. God has never left us, Gods love has never been more with us.
I have to agree here Bernard Cincotta – Universal Medicine and the presentations by Serge Benhayon are truly addressing so many old ideals and beliefs that have put us, society / humanity into an almost ‘box’ like structure, that feels totally real to us when we are part of it, but with the support from Esoteric Practitioners I am realising that this is in fact, an illusion. Through more awareness of my body, I have come to feel and know the presence of God is within and surrounds me (and everyone) wherever I am – even when riding on a golf buggy!
Feeling the ‘Joy’ in this blog is a blessing and a Healing. God is communicating with us all the time and so why is it that we are not experiencing this in every moment? This blog and many of the comments have made me more aware of how we choose not to hear, we choose to feel we are ‘on the path alone’. The warmth of God, of his love is emanating from within each of us everyday and it is us that choose to experience it or not . A Great Blog Mike – Thank you.
The second time I read your blog Mike I get more of a clear picture of your message. There is so much hatred, separation and judgment, cultural difference and comparison that happens on a daily basis and it’s not true, there is not one ounce of truth in it. We are all equally the same, different in appearance, but all equally the same. Different in expression e.g. tone of voice, but all are equal at the very origins on the word and this has been long forgotten. I very much thank Universal Medicine for bringing back truth in the word religion and bringing back truth in the meaning of truth itself, as this had long been given up on in many ways.
Hi doug, not a great formula at all. It’s actually a very toxic formula! A formula that is slowly going to change the more that people re-learn how to truly live and love and speak from their very inner heart. The Universal Medicine modalities that help support this are invaluable and are truly brought from heaven to help us all get out of the mess that we are in!
Like you Natasha I am very grateful to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for bringing back truth in the meaning of religion. It has brought me to realise that my connection with God has always been strong and now I am ready to live and express my love for Him in daily life.
So wonderfully shared Doug and Katinkadelannoy, and I agree wholeheartedly with all that you have both written. It is an amazing experience being a student of The Way of the Livingness’ and there is so much love to feel from all the teachings and all the people that are opening their hearts to love, the true deep amazing love that is like a never ending well of love that continue to go deeper and deeper and deeper the more you connect to it. It is bottomless! Thank you for both sharing your feelings.
“No matter what colour a person’s skin, or how we look, we are all human beings”. A great wisdom and undeniable truth Mike, once we stop and reconnect with our selves and then with another; a truth that one day will be known and embodied by all of humanity once we make the choice to stop, feel our hurts and heal them. When that day comes, and come it will, true brotherhood will prevail.
Beautifully expressed Jinya. Since attending Universal Medicine presentations I have been deeply inspired to re-develop my relationship with God and the sense of that ‘missing piece’ and feeling so separate and alone is no longer part of my life. I love feeling and enjoying the presence of God with me wherever I am.
“There is nowhere where God is not. It takes a choice to feel and connect, to know through living with God, that my essence is the same”.
The way in which you have presented the fact that God is everywhere is so very fun and powerful. Equally so is the fact that we are all the same or ‘brothers’ and that our differences are actually something we create not something that is our natural way.
What a great way to start the day, reading your joy-full blog Mike. Yes, God rocks. The thing that blows me away is the unwavering strength of his love, the intensity can literally take my breath away. I was reduced to tears in the last Sacred Esoteric Healing session I had recently where I felt God’s presence so strongly. The fact that his love never changes, despite my choices in how I am living, which are far from perfect, there is no judgment (only that which I put on myself). A perfect example of how I can choose to be with everyone. Unwavering love, in spite of all the choices that are being made, it’s not for me to judge or criticise, even privately, something I know I find hard not to do at times. Thank you God.
I really like what you said about seeing ‘everyone as family’. If we were all to take this view, it would change the world quite rapidly. We are so conditioned to family only being our immediate related family, but when ‘everyone’ is included, just how different would we be acting and living

Great blog Mike, and yes, thank heavens for Universal Medicine. I love the way you speak of God as your (golfing) buddy. My relationship with God is now very different from how I was taught to relate to God as I grew up. God is no longer the man with the white beard (as I’m sure many pictures were being visualised from your tour around the golf course!). For me he is no longer to be feared because through Universal Medicine I have come to reconnect with what I knew to be true as a small child, that God is a body of love that both holds me and is within me, there to be connected to and know myself as that same quality. It is a relearning, a rediscovery and true religion.
Mike this is an absolute Gem of a blog. It is so light and playful yet so playful. Asking God to join you for drinks after the 19th was priceless. I love how he graciously declined by dissapearing and yet remains forever present! : )
The way mainstream religions paint God, he is a lofty observer who never gets his hands dirty and brandishes punishments according to his judgements, did taint my relationship with him/her/it for along time. Perhaps lifetimes. Working with Universal Medicine has supported me let go of those beliefs and start to see what God is really about. God is practical and tangible. It is the feeling of being in connection with life all around me, to the end of the galaxy from my heartbeat. There is nowhere where God is not. It takes a choice to feel and connect, to know through living with God, that my essence is the same.
Awesome blog Mike and yes thank God for Universal Medicine, in this crazy crazy world Universal Medicine is a beacon of light shining brightly admist the thick fog. Through Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine the truth is made clear as day for all to see.
I’ve never doubted that God was there, not for a minute. But I would like to have more conversations with him after reading your blog Mike, so thanks. “Hey God, what do you think about you and me getting together for a daily catch up chat? I’ve got some space”
I agree, to walk with and talk with,God is the most awesome thing we can do as humans! When we learn true acceptance that God’s Kingdom is truly in our Inner Hearts then this relationship with him is a natural way to find joy, stillness, harmony, truth and love in our lives. Yes, He Is, and should be, part of our every day lives and the more we accept Him the more we are responsible for being Love to all humanity.
What a joyful blog to read, thank you Mike. The truth is God is communicating with us all the time, how awesome is that? Thank goodness for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, the missing puzzle pieces in my life that offered me a true path back to the love that I am.
Brilliant Mike, I love your blog, and so does God would think!
Yes it is lovely to arrive at the place of accepting others no matter how they look or speak, but realising that they too have something special to offer in this world. They may not be utilising it at present but even so knowing that it is there is enough.
In that we are united.
Clearly God and I are on the same page because every day I wake up I say to myself “thank goodness for Universal Medicine! Thank goodness for Serge Benhayon, the founder of Universal Medicine who had enough love for humanity to bring through the Universal Modalities that support us to heal our hurts so that we can truly serve. Thank goodness that there are people in the world who want to see brotherhood restored on earth and who are willing and able to work towards that. And thank goodness for people like yourself Mike who knows God and who are not afraid to say it.
Absolutely Elizabeth! Thank goodness for Universal Medicine! and thank you Mike for a truly inspiring piece about God.
Ditto Elizabeth. Whilst I’ve always believed in God, it wasn’t until I was introduced to Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon that I was able to feel what that relationship really means. Actually, what any relationship really means. Through all the amazing practitioners I’ve been able to work on myself to the point where I can actually feel again and when I look back to how I was before I started, the difference is night and day. My regard for myself and others has shifted enormously. Thank you God for Universal Medicine, offering us all the opportunity to return to ourselves to live in brotherhood and harmony.
You are so right Mike – “thank goodness for Universal Medicine”.
I love what you say about the fact that we have learnt nothing about war as a human race and wars continue today which just confirms there has been no real change.
On the colour note – I am brown skin and my partner is not and I have always felt that inside we are ALL the same and why should colour divide or separate us in any way. I know that me having no judgment about colour has helped me in life.
Universal Medicine are an organisation about Equality and Unity and this supports everyone regardless of their nationality, colour, culture or religion.
I fully agree with you Bina Pattel – ‘why should colour divide or separate us in any way’.
Universal Medicine presentations clearly deliver that everyone in an equal way in brotherhood together and Serge Benhayon is a 24/7 living-walking-his-talk reflection of this teaching.
‘Everyone is my family’ this is so true and what God said about Universal Medicine is so true “Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE where people of many races, nationalities and age groups from all walks of life have got together to look at the way forward in brotherhood; supporting each other to change their outlook on life, accepting responsibility for all intentions, thoughts and actions, learning from past mistakes to be open to everybody, being loving and understanding to all… letting people know there is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world.” Yes thank goodness for them. What I realised is, it exposes where we are at with the question God asks about what is wrong with the world today?’ The list goes on and could go on and on and on even more. Why are we living in a world where there is more wrong with it than right? It is time for this to change so one day the question will ask ‘What is right in the world today?’ and the list could go on and on and on.
Yes Vicky Cooke, lets look at what unites us rather than divides us and recognise that our differences are merely superficial. Lets recognise that we all want love in our lives and that we can all connect to its abundance within us. Lets get in touch with our humbleness and see that despite the overt technological advances in our world, we have not evolved into a loving body of humanity, far from it in fact. Let’s see that we are innately loving beings and live from this essence first and foremost and then see what world we choose to co-create.
This awesome blog just confirms what I have always felt – We are never alone.
It is true that Universal Medicine is bringing something truly divine to the world. I have never before felt both divinity and equality walking hand in hand like I have experienced in Universal Medicine. They are showing the way forward, true brotherhood for one and all.
Here here Melinda!
Absolutely Melinda, what a blessing that we can now walk with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine in true brotherhood for one and all. No perfection just dedication. There is much work to be done. Speaking to God was never a strong point but I’m willing to give it a go. I recently learned a deeper understanding that the quickest way to God is through the body.I’ve always easily recognized God outside of me. However there’s another way too. Through feeling our feelings within our body and responding with gentleness. I knew this in my head but am now getting it from a body point of view. God is in my middle.God is the centre and core of me, my essence. Keep coming back to the body and the breath.
Mike your comment about Universal Medicine is spot on and I wholeheartedly agree – thank goodness. If I hadn’t found Universal Medicine, I’d still be chasing my tail looking for answers in all the wrong places. What it offers us all – and I mean all – is a way forward in a world that’s struggling to find a true direction, unity and purpose.
God seems like a nice guy. I must remember to invite him around more often. I don’t play golf but he sounds like he’d enjoy a cup of tea.
I loved that Mike, it had me feeling complete joy. Thank goodness for Universal Medicine, God is onto something there.
Thanks goodness indeed God for Universal Medicine and the supporting way that is has taught so many to let go of everything they are not, their identifications that we desperate hold onto, to let go of our cultures, to let go of our race, to let go of everything that we have thought to be us and learn and be reminded that there is nothing that is needed to be done or said we are Everything already – Equally so. Thank goodness is all I can say God for my life has become more real, more loving, more caring, more honest and balanced than it ever was and I can feel and know that this is Way of the Livingness is the truth of our future.
So love this Mike – the playfulness and everydayness of chatting to God over a round of golf. I often ask myself ‘What would God say?’ and find the simplicity of the immediate responses so fresh and to the point.
Loved your playful blog Mike. Great reminder that God resides within us and is all around us in nature, constantly communicating to us moment by moment.
Yes, we are all a big family and we are all equal, Thank goodness for Universal Medicine for showing us that we are all connected and that there is no difference between us all apart from the physicality. We all are love in our essence.
I like your discussions with God Mike, it touches on exactly what I am reading about at the moment in Serge Benhayon’s book ‘An Open Letter to Humanity’ (2013) One quote that is very relevant here is, ‘If we lived as human beings first and foremost our country would be our planet.’
Great blog Mike, it has has really got me going today, my receiver is running hot with the energy of god flowing through me faster than I can get it down. It feels magnificent, thanks.
A fun read Mike – with a poignant point: God is always with us.
The question is: are we open and willing to be with Him?
Great to read your blog Mike. And I agree with God, thank goodness for Universal Medicine for all the teachings of Ageless Wisdom that Serge Benhayon presents.
I agree Mike, thank goodness for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, until I came across them, no one and nothing made real sense, over my life long search for the truth. The problem was I was looking in the wrong direction-outside of myself. Now I connect to my body and my tenderness and it’s all there.
I can totally relate to what you have written here Thomas Scott – very little made sense to me in life until hearing Serge Benhayon presenting the Ancient Wisdom Teachings and the painful realisation of having been looking and seeking relentlessly for God in all the wrong places and endless distractions externally, rather than the inner connection through my body and the innate tenderness and delicateness. Yes, thank God-ness for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Great comment Mike but you havn’t said much about him, what does he do for a living and is he black or white?
Esther there will be a follow up.Just watch this space.
Nicholas, God is just like you and me. In his eyes colour means nothing, we are all part of Gods family.
For what he does for a living, he cares for all his family, and that is a full time job.
I don’t think that he needs to DO anything for a living Nicholas Bason. All he needs is to BE.
Good point here Jonathan – the quality of ‘being’ rather than the drive of ‘doing’ is for all of us to return to with being true Sons of God that we all equally are – to constantly evolve and expand in the same likeness of His BEING. Always a Great reminder. Thank you Jonathan.
Thank you God.
To know that God is inside us AND all around us, ALL of the time is awesome, and once this is realised and experienced, even just a little, realising that we are not alone and we don’t have to struggle in life, is a gift that is there for everyone.
Very true Sandra, this is absolutely Huge!
Beautifully expressed sandrahenden – reading your comment this morning I experienced a deeper surrender within my body to simply embrace this more fully and let go of some other ‘pockets of struggle’ that are still held through some previously held ideals and beliefs of how life ‘should’ be.
Letting go and letting God is the gift. Thank you.
Thank you sandrahenden for the reminder, and letting ourselves feel and know God is all around and within us all of the time is so freeing as I can then feel there is so much more to us and life than just our 5 senses. We are always love, and loved, no matter what.
Beautiful Sandra well said.
We make everything about being different from everyone else trying to run away from the fact that deep inside we are not different at all.
The difference is just a wordly shell constructed by ourselves – a creation that will never truly satisfy nor make us truly happy and at ease.
Utterly brilliant Mike! I loved every line reminded me of ‘footsteps’ when there was only one set of footsteps in the sand – I never left you my son that was when I carried you. And of course we find God within our heart if we choose to look.
Judy, I had forgotten that saying, which means so much more now I’ve started talking to God again.
“We should do this again sometime, and see how we have progressed in our thoughts, love and understanding for each other, no matter what our differences.” I love this. Everything is a learning and everybody gets the space to do it in their own time.
Great blog Mike. Thanks for the reminder to make God a part of my everyday life.
What a lovely read Mike, I really enjoyed the playfull-ness you bring to Golf : ).
Yes, Doug, this blog is awesome fun, I agree. And God is always ready to communicate with us; it’s us who are holding back, not God.
This is so true Esther and Doug – our holding back causes all the complications in life.
I really love your comment Esther. If I’m the one holding back and not giving myself or God a chance then wow, what would be communicated if I choose to be open would be really amazing!
True Esther, Mike and Doug, it’s so easy to forget and imagine that we are the ones isolated and shut out, doing it tough, when in fact it is we who isolated and shut out ourselves, and we then create all the complication and drama. But when we do remember, it’s just a matter of opening up and tuning in and that constant communication is always there.
A great dream and a great blog. My favourite part: God’s response, ‘everyone is my family’.
Men all over the world look for God on the golf course every day!
Great point Heather, love it, of course they are looking for God. Everybody is looking for God. This is such a great story Mike about the dailyness of God, very awesome!!
Heather I have seen men on the golf course, looking for God but not always in the true sense of the meaning. They want God to help with a hole in one, get them out of the mess they are making with their game. As one walks along the fairway, have a quiet word with God. Talking to him as you walk along helps to relax the body and mind. Amazing how you feel at the next shot.
Awesome point Mike. Most people only remember God is there when they want to win a game! I love how you have a ‘quiet word with God’ while you are playing. It feels like you are good companions.
How often is God thought of when we NEED something. He doesn’t take offence, or keep a little black book keeping score – 10 strikes and you’re done. Pretty awesome. The least I can do is say ‘Hi’ each day, checking in with God. Thank you for the inspiration Mike.
I agree Mike, many of us have been looking for God but not in the true sense of the meaning. As you state we want God to help with a hole in one, or to get us out of the mess we are in, but it is not until we start taking responsibility for our game, how we actually play the game of life and the mess we have created ourselves can we truly walk with God and can God fully communicate with us.
Hahaha Heather very funny, but what they often only find is frustration and self loathing.
Some years ago a pilot was telling me he had to go to the doctor because of high stress levels – the doctor asked what his hobby was – it was Golf. The doctor actually advised him to give up golf as it was a game that brought up a lot of self judgment and self abuse when shots were not perfect and he felt a simple walk in nature enjoying what God provided for us was the perfect remedy!
What great advice Stephanie “a walk in nature enjoying what God provided for us” has to trump a walk in frustration and self loathing on the golf course even if you have fooled yourself into believing it is ‘fun’.
This is a brilliant parable Mike, and one worthy of Bagger Vance, which incidentally was also a golfing metaphor story that was actually based on the Bhagavad Gita.
Maybe this is the Bhagavad Golfer? 🙂
Very funny, Bhagavad Golfer, it´s great.
Good one Melinda. I would like to know more about Baggar Vance too Adam. Maybe you could share this sometime? Look what you have started Mike!
I love this, Mike. The more we make our relationship with God a part of our every day lives, the more we accept ourselves, and the responsibility we have to represent Him in everything we do.
Janetwilliams06. Even in your busy schedule each day or when you wake up in the morning, just say hi to God, he will be waiting for your call, knowing that he is in your thoughts each and everyday.
I love this too Mike. I didn’t consciously say ‘Hi” to God this morning although I checked in with my quality and felt good. I just said it now and I got to feel even yummier – a warmth has just spread throughout my entire body and I feel held, very still and am more accepting. This is something I want to do everyday – thank you so much for your gorgeous blog!
That’s lovely Mike, knowing that each morning when I say ‘hello ‘ to myself in the mirror, God is there too, and has been all night, and that lovely warmth that Michelle speaks of is his presence, So ‘hello again God, I know you never went away, thanks for staying with me, even through those times when I didn’t acknowledge that you were there.’
I love what you say here Mike and Michelle I smiled deeply with what you shared – Thank you for the fun and simple way to feel God is always there no matter what if we choose to feel this connection. 🙂
Thank you for this Mike. Despite KNOWING that God is always there, loved reading your comment ‘Just say Hi to God’ when you wake up ….. made me realise that I don’t do this enough ….. why not? What am I waiting for … the invitation can’t be more open.
Thank you for this loving reminder.
Yes it is true making God a part of our every day lives makes all the difference on how we feel responsible to our quality of being. I find that my relationship with him equals the relationship I have with me, it is all the same.
I like this Katinka as it present how equal relationship can be equal no matter whom the relationship is with and how it is about quality first and for most.
Yes, absolutely katinkadelannoy – It is all one and the same – a true quality of true relationship with ourself equals our quality of relationship with God. Everything feels so much less complicated and makes sense of life in a simple way.
Such a beautiful light hearted/inspired sharing with us Mike – and yes thank goodness (thank you God) for the gift of Universal Medicine and letting the world know there is another way.
At a time when all the horror of what is going on in the world could overwhelm and shut us down completely, along comes Universal Medicine to cut through the quagmire and present another way. And in spite of the chaos, doing so with such a light touch and playfulness. Thank you Mike, God and Universal Medicine.
I agree with God – thank goodness for Universal Medicine… a place where you have an opportunity to get to know the real person first, without even knowing what they do or where they live, not judging others by the roles we have in life.
I love this little sharing Mike, A dream can cover so much in such a short time. If only mankind could wake up to the fact we are one race of people not divided by religion or race and start working together with God. When will this dream become a reality? How many wars and natural disasters will it take for us to wake up?
Thank you, Mike, for waking up and remembering this dream. Thank you for waking up to share the questions we can all be asking of each other every day. Thank you for playfully shining a light on the madness of our ‘war torn’ lives.
Awesome humorous blog Mick and I agree God never leaves our side and is always communicating with us. It is us, who much of the time, choose to not hear and see what is being communicated.
I thought this was real at first! .. And then scrolled back to the top to read ‘dream’ 😆 … Productive dream though .. or was it? 💖
Mike I never like golf very much until I read this 🙂 Now I would like to play.
Mike your sweet playful style moved me to tears of celebration for your expression – yes thank God for Universal Medicine and also for you being you!
Hugely entertaining Mike, I enjoyed your familiarity with God (why not, he is with us every day, every step of the way) and both of your appreciation of Universal Medicine can bring to the world… encouraging us to be more in our relationship with God, more responsible for our actions and more committed to a world so we can make a difference.
We know God is ever present even in our dreams … so it’s for us to be ever present to all equally, humanity is our family so expressing Love to all regardless of our race,colour and status is a foundation toward brotherhood and we the student of Universal Medicine hold that at the fore … “letting people know there is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world.”
Thank you Mike. What I am reminded of on reading your blog, is that God is with us in every moment in every day and is constantly communicating with us if we choose to listen and heed the support.
Thank you Mike, your blog shows just how normal it is to not want war or any of those other things you mentioned. That essentially we all do really just want to be loved in a genuine way that includes everyone, with out exclusivity and or ownership. Universal Medicine allows each and every person to find the love that they are within because it is completely unimposing – as God would be should he be standing next to you.
Mike I love the playfulness in your blog, wouldn’t it cool if we could have this sort of conversations with God more often? and yes thank Goodness for Universal Medicine for showing us there is another way to be closer to God within ourselves.
Hear! Hear! jane, I am with you, God and the many others who have commented on this blog, “thank goodness for Universal Medicine”. I searched far and wide for something that felt true before finding Universal Medicine and the Way of the Livingness. The first time I heard Serge Benhayon present, I knew that I had ‘come home’. After 11 years I can also attest to the fact that “here is no other organisation like Universal Medicine at this time – with the depth of integrity and dedication to humanity that it has”.
Great sharing Mike thank you for your lightheartedness and joyful expression shared about God and Universal Medicine ,how playful .Thank goodness for Universal Medicine absolutely and the integrity ,responsibility and love we all are here to bring to humanity and share.
Yes Mike, thank goodness for Universal Medicine offering us the opportunity to feel that we are indeed all equal, that there is another way of living that is loving, harmonious, with joy and that God is not outside of ourselves, but is right there with us all of the time even on the golf course.
What a cool dream. And yes indeed, thank goodness for Universal Medicine!
Thank goodness for Universal Medicine is something I say very often….I look at the amazing life I live now and I say thank goodness for Universal Medicine….I see how much my family have changed and I say thank goodness for Universal Medicine…..I feel and see that I look younger and more vital then I did at 40 and I say thank goodness for Universal medicine and the list could go on in regards to all the things I have to thank this organisation for. Why do I thank goodness for Universal Medicine? Because if not for the support from Universal Medicine none of the above would have eventuated.
“I look round to say thank you by inviting him to join me at the 19th hole for a drink, but no one was there – God was gone.
Or was He?” Of course you know and we know he had not really gone, Mike, we are the ones who have separated from God. When we truly connect with ourselves, he is there with us. How simple that is, to walk with God, or as you found, Mike, play golf with God. Love your play-fullness, such fun.
Thank you Mike, for this playful blog. You have inspired me to take god into my day in this easy and playful way, having him with me as my indicator for truth and love in all situations.
This was fun to read and I loved the “God was gone. Or was he?” question at the end. We have a lot to thank Universal medicine for.
God seems like a pretty cool dude. I love the way he actually gets you to express your wisdom, rather than simply expressing his, although I suppose it is all the same really.
Great comment Paul, god is not expressing through you, you are expressing through your 1/7.5 billionth part of god that is you.
A beautiful dream Mike, walking and talking with God. I had one the other night where I was walking and talking with Serge Benhayon. His words to me were “When you ask, I will always walk with you but I will never walk for you”. Hmmm.
I love the point you are making Janne. Serge Benhayon speaks for God who can show us how to do something but he can’t do it for us because each and every one of us is a part of the energy of god.
A very unique story, a pleasure to read and it made me catch my head and re-read some sections. Lots to take away.
Mike thanks for this playful blog. There are so many things in this world that separate and divide us. Thank God for Universal Medicine who are a wonderful example of how true brotherhood can be.
Great dream, Mike, and great that you’ve shared it. Sometimes the whackiest dream scenarios have the deepest and most wonderful significance. Most people love sharing dreams; I wonder why we don’t do it more often, with the openness to understand the love that is being brought to us by God in whatever form we will receive it?
Mike each part of the story leaves us with something to consider. When God said “Yes, everyone is my family” does that not also mean that each person is our family and therefore regardless of race, religion or status we are all family. Perhaps we would be more loving with ourselves, our community and be more responsible for humanity if we considered everyone part of our family. Maybe then we would not allow a fellow human being to be killed in the name of religion, oil or greed as even though this may occur on another part of the planet they too are still our family.
I agree with all you have said here, David. As you say “Perhaps we would be more loving with ourselves, our community and be more responsible for humanity if we considered everyone part of our family “. How much better the world would be if that were so.
I agree to – seeing everyone as my family really changes how I will interact with my family members during my days. It takes the separation and distance out of my interactions.
Mike, I loved reading your blog. I enjoyed your sense of humour and playfulness on which is a serious subject, and I am sure that God is still there watching and waiting for the next round, from all of us, to see where the next round is going to take us. Thank you for further lightening up my already brilliant morning!
Absolutely Ariana, I agree, and meeting Serge Benhayon has saved me countless rounds of playing the same old game. Thank goodness I am free from the life I thought was ‘it’ to truly know the way of living that is possible for us all.
Thank you Mike, you have made it so clear that we all feel the misery, inequality and suffering in the world, and for us not to indulge in feeling powerless. You are clearly a good sport playing golf. I too feel blessed to be a part of this growing community of people across the globe dedicated to living in a true and loving way, taking responsibility for each step that they take, walking with God, Serge Benhayon and each other.
Mike, I love how you cut through to the point so beautifully, racism being one example you use, how true it is that we all just wish to be loved, and any hatred and racism clearly stems from this fact. You could never meet a racist who has felt true love as once felt it would be impossible to hate another just because they outwardly look different. We are all the same on the inside and that is where it really matters.
And Mike’s build up with respect to war provides a chilling insight. The stones that Cain and Able were quarrelling over turn into WMD’s…. and in the same way the simple illnesses of yore are becoming more complex, multi-symptomatic and much harder for conventional medicine to cope with. This is why it needs a different approach, all the help it can get from organisations like Universal Medicine and all the integrity and quality they can bring.
It really does seem crazy that we can judge another from their outward appearance and think that we are so different, what you have written is very true Stephen as now having felt true love racism makes no sense, ‘You could never meet a racist who has felt true love as once felt it would be impossible to hate another just because they outwardly look different.’
You don’t have to attend a Universal Medicine presentation or session to be family. Sadly some parts of the world don’t have that open relationship with God as is presented by Serge Benhayon or practiced as it is amongst the student body. It’s cool that the student body are in every facet of life because then that reflection of God gets to be spread around even greater. Because if from one point (Universal Medicine) so much can occur what can happen when there are hundreds of those points?
Mike – this is so important, ‘No matter what colour a person’s skin, or how we look, we are all human beings; we may be different on the outside, but inside we are all alike’, I remember attending a Universal Medicine event and this being presented, it felt very profound for me at the time because I had always thought people were different, looking at outer appearances and different personalities,I would judge people on this, it was beautiful to feel that all of this is just the outer and that actually we are all equal and all the same on the inside.
Me too Rebecca – at school a lot of kids are still criticised and bullied for the colour of their skin and what they look like, so to come to a Universal Medicine course where everyone is absolutely accepted equally is super refreshing. An amazing environment to build true relationships with people in, and over the last 5 years or so I’ve met some pretty incredible people!
A great blog Mike! Meeting God on the golf course is just a perfect starting point for discussing all kinds of important issues and it is very visual to read.
Yes, yes, yes Ariana agreed! There is no going back once we open our eyes and see truth.
I just love this blog – the right cocktail of lightness, humour and wisdom, all rolled into one.
What a game of golf Mike! Before Universal Medicine I found myself being very skeptical of people and quick to judge and would give people titles just by looking at them… really a more shallow way of seeing the world. I know now though that this was because of the shallow relationship I had with myself but since Universal Medicine it is a joy and I love observing and feeling the truth of everyone I meet and doing the same with myself. I’m now the first one to speak up and bring a deeper understanding to situations when someone is having conflict with another or only seeing them in one-sided way.
This is beautiful Mike. Walking together in love and harmony, with true family, community or brotherhood at the fore is something our planet needs, as its foundation. Indeed thank God for Universal Medicine, that has shown me this is not only possible, but a joyous and deeply amazing way to live. My eyes and heart are wide open as a result, to what is possible in this world of ours.
There is much here to consider. The number of wars fought on the basis of religion should have stopped humanity in their tracks a long time ago. But it keeps on going, bludgeoning their seemingly different brothers for their beliefs. When will we all drop our weapons and start talking about what is not working?
The approach to life of Universal Medicine is so totally different of the way most people approach it, which then causes the intensity concerning wars, calamities etc we live in. Mike, you have expressed the truth in such a humorous style, which shows there is a another way, there is a way to life which is truthful but does not lose its humour.
Kerstin. So very true, there is always truth out there, we all just need to take a closer look.
And we will find it.
I love the way you have summed up Universal Medicine Mike. We are a true rainbow of people and the things we do. To live, love, accept and hold no one in judgment and best of all to bring our light to everyone everywhere.
That is an equally gorgeous description sjmatson. I agree, almost every pocket and minority of humanity is being brought together with Universal Medicine. The diversity of students is quite incredible, and very unusual – the big difference being that they all accept each other and there are no politics between ‘groups’ or people. All equal.
” There is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world.” Yes – I’ll be in that with you, Mike and God and anyone else who’s interested. This may be a girl thing, Mike, but, what did He look like???
haha, Coleen, you are a cheeky one. He is very tender and very wise, and he is sitting in his chair watching us and laughing because we are so serious.
Coleen. God is real down to earth guy.
I love you Mike….and God.
Thanks Mike….I like how you truly make it about everyone in the world – a truly universal approach in how you’ve presented this…And the clever, humourous approach is utterly brilliant…What you say is so very true – that it is never really about what someone looks like on the outside, it is always who we are on the inside that is who we truly are…And when we are so deeply connected with ourselves in this way – we can’t help but love all – which then allows more so the racism that always comes loaded with judgement to dissolve…
Rachel….
Love the playful appreciation of all that Universal Medicine brings. Thanks for sharing Mike.
The conversation you had on the golf course with God Mike is a conversation we should all be having with each other to question why we have such atrocities and unequalness in the world…change starts with awareness.
I agree with you Sandra, as you say, “change starts with awareness”.
Absolutely awareness is how we choose to change. Awareness of energy is crucial in our energetic world.
And once we have the awareness, we can feel what action, if any, is needed.
Very playful Mike…did he really say ‘thank goodness for Universal Medicine’ or did he say ‘thank me (God) for Universal Medicine’ 😉
I loved this blog Mike as I could feel the lightheartedness and fun with which you expressed. God is everywhere embracing us all. What a beautiful moment to experience this Mike and be able to share a loving conversation. Maybe there is a book to be written on “Conversations with God”?
Anne. Think of all the different conversations if everyone wrote about having a conversation with God. It would definitely be a best seller for years and years.
Who could have any differences with a God who joins us in doing what we enjoy, asks for our opinions, lets us express openly, asks us to go deeper in our expression, hear about the truth in our hearts that we so wish to speak about and does not hold back one bit in being him/herself?
We are a part of god who controls the particles of the energy of love that we are and impulses our best ideas, moves the fingers of the surgeon when doing ultra delicate surgery and co-ordinates our muscles when we run fast down a steep hill for fun. God is love.
What an awesome dream, Mike. Who says God is only there when we ask him for help or talk about serious things? God is right there with us, and always so when we are in joy, doing what we love. He is there when we are playful and silly. He is never gone, but loves giving us the opportuntity to test it out there on our own to build our confidence!
I agree God is always there with us and connecting to this truth and developing our relationship with him is a natural part of life once life is about connection with oneself. I would say that god has a funny way of showing himself as this article clearly demonstrates 🙂
I like to feel that god is checking in with us to see how we feel, what we have learnt, a good heart to heart catch up. I imagine god to be like this, unimposing but with genuine interest. I don’t think god was gone at all, we would definitely notice that. If I stop to feel, god is ever present.
Bernard I love what you have written especially imagining God to be unimposing but with genuine interest. We can all be like this with each other.
Mike I loved your playfulness as God talked to you on the golf course. How you spoke of humanity being in the mess that it is. We all have our part to play in how humanity is today, and what it will look like in the future.
Awesome blog Mike, loved it… very playful and so true!
Thanks Mike, I could see a comic strip while reading this. It has certainly lightened up the conversation of ‘God’ for me. A topic, I’m still coming to terms with. Thank you for keeping it easy and breezy, I’m looking forward to your next experience.
A comic strip would be good or an animated cartoon but do we make him human and black or do we portray him as the the loving energy.
What a refreshing post Mike! I could never hit the golf ball well, but enjoyed the walks which sounds like it was the most enjoyable part. There was no competition!
Here here Katie – ‘A way of living that many knew was possible but just perhaps did not know where to start. Thank God For Universal Medicine!’
Makes sense to me Mike, God’s message is crystal clear (as usual). Free from complications or mindful complexities, we are one and Universal Medicine presents this to all. Our evolution and self development is with each other for we are reflections of one another.
I love how this article shows that we can have playfulness and equality in our relationship with God. And I love how the dream prompted you to reflect about all that you know is not okay with our current world and to appreciate the invaluable support Universal Medicine is providing for humanity to turn it all round.
Thanks Mike for the humour and the lightness that you bring with your awesome blog. What struck me most is the equalness between God and you/me, and how we each bring and aspect, a quality and an incredibly important part of the divine to each other to complete the picture. God treats us all so very equally and in his grandness treats us in the same grandness that we are too. Some of the most inspiring people I know are those that hold their grandness and yet are super humble and will not hesitate to ask for help or support or to talk about something with you to get clarity or a deeper feeling of what is happening. This is deeply inspiring as it confirms that through brotherhood we evolve.
If we were to ask anyone what they thought was wrong with the world they would be able to nominate many things they felt was not right – but why is it that very few of us speak up about it or do something about it?
Perhaps this is not a dream, could it be God walks with us all the time but it’s only in those moments when we are with ourselves that we feel the presence of God?
Thank you Mike. A playful blog which is important to address the issues that you have explained in your writing
Mike, this sounds like the best game of golf ever! Big thank you.
Joyful, playful and a celebration, no need to ‘stress out’ over those subjects that many of us feel are big issues in society. We can choose another way to live. I very much enjoyed reading this ‘golf with God…a dream’.
Hello Mike Stevenson, I always knew God played golf…. This is a classic blog and great story that is very well written. Thank you for this piece of writing it was a very enjoyable read.
What a simple playful way of expressing about some very serious intense issues, without taking away from the power behind the blog, being that we are in such an awful place as humanity, that the work of Universal Medicine is absolutely a complete an utter gift, where would we end up without it?
Yes well said, Oliver, and this blog also reflects the free will God gives us in deciding how bad is it going to get before we come to our senses, and start turning the tide back to love and respect for each other, with the ever patient support of Universal Medicine.
Absolutely God, I second you in every way. Universal Medicine is “letting people know there is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world” and I trust that next time you decide to have a round with Mike, that “we have progressed in our thoughts, love and understanding for each other, no matter what our differences”.
We were in Vietnam attending a Universal Medicine Retreat when Mike had this dream, I remember him saying in the morning that he had to go and write this down immediately as it was different from any other dream he had ever experienced and did not want to loose the essence of it…..never did he imagine it would be in print for the world to appreciate that God is with us and we are with cannot but be with Him every step of our way.
Elizabeth When we next play you can come and caddy for God and me, and we will get you a buggy.
Thank you Mike, a playful expression indeed!
No holes barred here Mike – i agree that our world is less than humane with rot, corruption, greed and inequality today the norm. It is heartening and inspiring to appreciate our connection to what is true, decent and loving and in accordance with the flow and rhythm of life amongst all that plays us in a game we are not of or from. Our connection to God is guaranteed the game changer we deeply need.
A dream with God ❤️ The conversation has purpose.
I love the simple conversation style you had with God as I often have moments when I am deeply connected to myself often walking where it feels like I can have a chat with my dear friend God. It is something I have had my whole life which is why the notion of a place of worship didn’t ever sit right with me. Interesting that as I was writing this the thought of, you don’t want people to think you are crazy, dropped in. Which is really exposing some of the beliefs we hold in society about how and who should be allowed to speak to God.
This is so true nicolesjardin, it doesn’t make sense that when we can talk to God anywhere we need singular places to worship him and so too the idea that only a special few can speak to him, anyone else is weird if they do. I know for me there is a huge block in my connection with god based on me not wanting to be open to these conversations as I don’t want to be perceived as weird
Yes Mike, Thank God for Universal Medicine and thank you for this playful blog sharing truth in a simple way for all to see.
I can join the chorus of, ‘Thank Godness for Universal Medicine’… Pun most definitely intended. I truly thank my lucky stars everyday that I have found this amazing organisation that isn’t afraid to present truth to the world. It has shown me so much which I didn’t see before, or was avoiding and didn’t want to feel.
I second that Rachel. Universal Medicine is the real deal, utterly amazing, a gift from heaven for the whole of humanity to remember who we all truly are and that the suffering and misery that characterises our world today need not be our accepted norm — instead it can be so very different, it can joy, truth and love.
I love your blog, Mike, playful, truthful, and simple; easy to feel what you are saying and the truth of it. There is no mistaking what Universal Medicine brings for us all, and that is the Love of God who accompanied you that day, (and every day!).
I love this play-full blog Mike, what a wonderful conversation you had with God. You have shown just how easy it can be for all of us to have a relationship with God. God is with us everywhere when we connect.
Thank Goodness for Universal Medicine, I second that God!
Golf lovers everywhere will never walk their golf course the same again after reading about your relationship with God Mike. Brilliant!
You don’t have to attend a Universal Medicine presentation or session to be family. Sadly some parts of the world don’t have that open relationship with God as is presented by Serge Benhayon or practiced as it is amongst the student body. It’s cool that the student body are in every facet of life because then that reflection of God gets to be spread around even greater. Because if from one point (Universal Medicine) so much can occur, what can happen when there are hundreds of those points?
This is true Leigh, it is not Universal Medicine that is the access to God as many religions do portray, it is through our inner connection that we have a direct and very intimate relationship with our Father. Universal Medicine simply presents us the way to that inner connection.
It’s not easy for most to see let alone accept the level of ‘not good stuff’ happening in this world. Yes thank goodness we are learning to hold the what this world so dearly needs – lot of tender love and care
” … see how we have progressed in our thoughts, …”
I really like how God includes himself as being part of this humanity which has room for improvement/progress … we all know he’s the One and yet here he is embedded in us and equal with us, or should I say, we are equal with Him. A really appreciated blog, thank you.
Sounds like you and God got together to do a spot of writing after your golf Mike.
A truly lighthearted yet powerful piece that shows it is our similarities that bind us, thank goodness for Universal Medicine as it is shining a light and waking us up to the fact that true love and change begins with us. Looking forward to the next round with God!
Thank Goodness for Universal Medicine, for Serge Benhayon and his family. And thank God for my willingness to listen to what they offered. I would have been nowhere where I am today if it wasn’t for them. I would still be in a physical and emotional mess.
Mike, you have presented this in such a delightful way and the message is clear. Universal Medicine is showing us how to live with purpose and in brotherhood which is what the world needs right now.
Mike it is a beautiful blog reading your experience in a game of golf with God. Like you say God is everywhere and always with us. God is in every person, when we recognise this, take responsibility and connect to the divineness we all are, we are able to reflect this to others. Serge Benhayon is a living reflection of this truth.
I love how simple and playful you made this whilst really hitting important issues on the head
There is “another way“ and this will inspire countless more and by that finally change the world, instead of only dressing it up in a different costume.
And the one who hits the holes straight up might be you, Mike!
Yes, thank God for Universal Medicine. There is so much disharmony in the world that needs to be addressed and Universal Medicine is addressing it’s cause which is humankind disconnected from its true nature.
Really enjoyed reading your blog Mike in which you share your conversation, your connection with God. I am with you in the way forward in brotherhood thanks to Universal Medicine.
I’m one of those people who now look at the world a different way than I used to, after hearing Serge Benhayon speak and make the most sense I have heard. I have been awakened to care about other people after a really long time of not liking what I see in the world around me, but staying silent and allowing it to happen anyway, no matter who and how many still got hurt. It is because of Universal Medicine that I am different to how I was. It is because religion – re-connection with who I really am – is now my life that makes everything clear.
I can relate here Suzanne as I have too been awakened to what I feel in this world and how far away it is from what is could be. Being super sensitive and not liking one ounce of disharmony makes this world a place that needs much work to get it into an order of true harmony. Of course I have my part in that which I continue to explore and make adjustment to in the understanding that we are all in this together.
Cute blog Mike. There is a playful sense of equality between you (us) and God which is very refreshing to read.
Equality and equal-ness between every one of us and God is a great key point here Andrew.
Yes I got that lovely sense of equality too Andrew.
The one true way. Unity across the Earth, living innately and harmoniously; it seems too large for any other organisation or religion to contemplate. Yet, I see fellow students around me living towards this, current day – a wonderful and inspiring sight to see and an even better feeling to register within myself.
Beautifully put Oliver. The Truth is HUGE and our love forever EXPANDING, and the amazing evidence of the student body ~ people living their Way of the Livingness, “living innately and harmoniously” ~ is an absolute inspiration.
Universal Medicine in fact is ‘a dream comes true’ – I dreamed of people all ages, nationality, color, passions, careers, professions coming together in love and harmony and working together, inspiring each other to evolve and to serve humanity. I dreamed of a strong and lovely relationship with God. I dreamed of a community living in true brotherhood. I dreamed of a true, solid, intimate partnership. And this dream all came true through Universal Medicine. In just a few years my life turned around in the most healthy, precious way I could not even imagine – or dream about ; ). So I learned to not dream anymore because what can come up is so much more then I can think off. And I learned to live, what I wish the world to be and then its real, its there, alive through me living it. That’s my way back to the divinity I am – the divinity we all are.
Lovely Mike, lovely Sandra. Yes, thank goodness for Universal Medicine who absolutely supported our dreams to come true ….. and some more …. but wait, there’s even more ….
Sandra. Just keep holding that dream, as one day it will happen where we will all live in peace, love and harmony.
Mike, we start to live it today. With that it is guaranteed. : )
Sandra Schneider your writing is rich with beauty and love. That’s all that’s ever asked of us is that we live what we feel in our hearts, rather than carry the hurts of what we see in the world that we wish were different. That in itself transforms things and life changes right in front of our eyes.
Well said Shevon, rather than carry the hurts around, not only our own but those we see all around us, we can make a choice to heal the pain and express the love that is within us instead. Not always a comfortable choice to feel and heal the pain, but when we are prepared to do so and make a connection to our inner selves, life does change in front of our eyes. Universal Medicine has supported us to ensure that we do not gloss over the ugly parts of our world, for there is much lovelessness we need to address, but to always stay connected to the warmth and love within that continually enables us to accept and appreciate who we are and what we have in life. Many difficulties can be totally transformed when we express from our real love and wisdom.
Sandra, thank you for this — it’s reminded me of me as a child when i had the same dream, knowing that this way of living is true, that living in harmony and love with each other was not far-fetched or unrealistic, but very possible right here, right now. Then ‘life’ happened, I grew up, got hurt, put up a few walls of protection and got through my days having forgotten about this dream I knew was a truth until I came across Universal Medicine. Now I live that dream every day, and there are many people around me, a whole community who also live that dream. It is right here, right now and it’s available to everyone who is willing to remember and re-awaken tis dream lurking within them — because my feeling is we’ve all had that dream. Deep down we all know the truth we come from.
So true Katerina “It is right here, right now and it’s available to everyone who is willing to remember” and who is willing to LIVE it, not just dream it – I would add. : )
Beautifully said Sandra. Universal Medicine is more than I could ever have dreamt of. I have never felt so loved and understood. I now have a feeling of true family.
Fabulous Sandra, Universal Medicine in fact is ‘a dream comes true’. I dreamed of all of the above also. To find Universal Medicine was like coming home to everything that was once only a dream, and as you say, so much more. Such an enormous blessing that I appreciate every single day.
Beautifully said Sandra, I had a similar dream, literally, of being in a village community working together in harmony when I was in my teens. Interesting how it remains a vivid memory – more than a dream but a true way we can live I feel.
Beautiful expression Sandra, yes no need to dream when you have the truth of divinity running through you.
Love the fact you make it so very current… living the future that you want right now. Its that familiarity and willingness to live everything we are now that is going to inspire others, and bit by bit change the world we live in.
Yes simonwilliams8. If we change us – by living the future, as you said- we change the world, because we are a part of it. It is about embracing our power and with that we can let go of wanting others to change first – but start to inspire.
Sounds like a WHOLE in one to me!
Haha. Yes Jinya, the WHOLE with no holes… that’s the way truth roles.
Kylie. We are all ONE in this life
Love it – very True Jinya
Haha. I love how lightness and playfulness is infectious. You can’t help but share the joy.
Gorgeous Mike, and yes Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon have offered us the true reflection of God on earth.
I agree Mary. Someone showing us there is another way. Through the presentations of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine now this other way is expressed by many.
Absolutely Mary and lee, God’s footprint is spreading across the globe though each and every person that is living from their inner heart.
Love the playfulness of this Mike and the reminder that God is always there if we are willing to recognise it.
I agree Mike; thank goodness for Universal Medicine.
I would love to have a game of golf with you and God, would be so much fun
Thanks Mike for a light hearted way of highlighting some heavy topics.
Absolutely agree Julie. We have made the subject around God very heavy, and look at this article, it actually got me laughing as it is funny in a respectful way. We can think like this if we feel to, we can express it too. Let’s take talking about God to another level.
This is true Danna, “We have made the subject around God very heavy”. I can’t imagine in heaven there to be no humour, playful banter or fun. I love the light heartedness of this article and would love to read more of them with this approach.
Hello Julie Matson and I agree. God has been made out to be something that he is not. We have made him ‘more’ than us which in essence is not true. God is us and the way Mike Stevenson has bought this to us signifies that for me. It’s not to make simple the grandness of God or to belittle anything but more to bring awareness to the fact we are God, equally so. Some world beliefs have him (God) off somewhere in the sky whereas and as Mike so beautiful writes he is here with us, always ready to listen. I love what this blog has bought and I agree with Mike in the way that we all have a relationship with God equally we just ‘simply’ have to connect to it.
So true Raymond, I love the way Mike asks himself “why is he asking me?” and then realises well why not, Mike’s opinion is just as valid as anyone else’s. We all have a relationship with God whether we want to acknowledge it or not and whether God physically turns up for the game of golf or not, does not mean he is not there constantly with us in every moment. The ball is always in our court (or golf bag, depending on which way you look at it!) so it is up to us to make the effort to connect to the essence of God that naturally resides within us all.
Hello rowenakstewart and yes we all can doubt a connection to God, like we are not important enough. I feel that’s what is being said here and as you say, “We all have a relationship with God whether we want to acknowledge it or not and whether God physically turns up for the game of golf or not, does not mean he is not there constantly with us in every moment. “
What a ‘dream’ to read your blog Mike – it was so light and lovely and yet deeply poignant. Thank you.
What a delightful blog to read Mike. God is often made so unreachable but your blog shows how I am learning to see God too – someone very ordinary and with a Love for humanity that goes beyond this world.
This is such a cute play on the divine Mike. ‘Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE where people of many races, nationalities and age groups from all walks of life have got together to look at the way forward in brotherhood’ – I wholeheartedly agree with you and God, thank goodness for Universal Medicine for showing us there is a totally different way to live life.
Thank you Mike for sharing your game of golf with God. Aside from his obvious skills on the green, who can argue with his statement about Universal Medicine? Universal Medicine has pulled all these people together, a huge eclectic group of us from all over the world, a diverse ranges of professions, nationalities and religions, ready and willing to work in true brotherhood because we all innately know that “No matter what colour a person’s skin, or how we look, we are all human beings; we may be different on the outside, but inside we are all alike, we all bleed red blood and feel pain and sorrow, but like everyone we all yearn to love and be loved.” Truly amazing and a joy to be involved with such an awesome organisation who has and continues to engender true brotherhood in the world.
Yes, thank goodness for Universal Medicine!!!!
Mike, I loved reading your experience with God on the Golf course. It feels so playful and light, it is not only a story, it is truth.
Mike what a fantastic game of Golf! To be able to have a normal conversation talking about what really matters in life and the equalness that was shared is exactly how it is. Talking about real life situations, not avoiding what is truly going on and open to discuss on what ever needs to be addressed. This is Love and Harmoy.
Beautiful Mike. Universal Medicine is a dream come true. I really enjoyed how you received and shared a communication through a game of golf while walking with God.
Great blog Mike. The way of the livingness, is the way forward to start to heal what have been doing to the world, others and ourselves for far to long.
Beautifully sweet blog Mike I had a grin on my face the whole way through. Thank God for Universal Medicine.
What an amazing dream – golf with God and a sense of humour.
A beautiful light-hearted read sparkling with gems of Truth and Love. Thank you Mike.
Oh my, God, and Mike ~ thank you. I absolutely loved this blog. I agree, thank goodness for Universal Medicine, and to be a part of the Way Forward.
I loved what you shared so playfully with us Mike, I would take up golf if I knew God was playing along as well. The truth is God is around us all of the time no matter what we are doing – thank you for this gorgeous reminder.
Thank you Mike Stevenson, your story shows me again that God is always with us if we choose him to be with us.
This is an inspiring read. I love the feel of what you have expressed, Mike. It is so accessible. And yes… Thank GOD for Universal Medicine!
I feel inspired by this blog. What comes to mind is a saying about the corporate hierarchy that goes something like “everything stems from the top”.
When you think about who’s at the beginning or top, ‘so-to-speak’ of Universal Medicine, it’s no wonder jealousy reigns supreme in those who choose not for themselves the same relationship in business, everyone and therefore God.
Everything stems from the top applies beautifully to Universal Medicine, from the all encompassing integrity and finite loving details, trickles down to all it touches with those same qualities.
This is absolutely gorgeous, Mike. God is everywhere with us and in us, constantly. And the funny thing is we behave as if we can invite Him to some selected moments of our life only when it suits us.
Mike, completely love your experience with God, the heartfelt and deepest appreciation that you hold for Universal Medicine, and humanity itself. Thank God for Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. Thank God for you Mike, and us all who walk with you in The Way of The Livingness.
Love this Mike, I fully agree, “Thank Goodness for Universal Medicine”.
A really enjoyable read, thanks Mike. I love that, “who was counting” the holes, yet even in the presence of God, it appears that human conditioning to compare and compete is there. Great point about how God seemed to have disappeared but had he really. Are we ever really not in the presence of God? All in all a lovely playful simple and meaningful blog.
I loved the playfulness in your writing Mike, it is a joy to read.
We are never alone, even on a Golf Course, God is always with us as you point out Mike. A very simple but profound Blog one that is so true as God walks beside us all every day. Thank You.
haha HERE HERE ! Thank Goodness for Universal Medicine!
Your blog has captured the essence of Universal Medicine. Your light hearted approach and descriptive story explains who and what Universal medicine is… A true Way Forward.
What an extraordinary dream Mike! It appears that you have recalled every tiny detail, that it came to you with sharp clarity. I enjoyed the lightness and fun with which you wrote. The message is super clear: THANK GOD FOR UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to constantly and patiently support our return to love, truth, understanding, harmony and brotherhood.
Mike I love this, so playful, I can see you both doing the round and then there’s that chat – you speak common sense, we are all the same and yet we have war, all for something out there, an idea, religion, land and yes we even use God. And everyone in it on all sides are the same, they hurt, they bleed and yet we keep going from one to the next. It really does make you wonder, but reading this today reminded me of the power of speaking up and saying what’s off, in other word speaking the truth.
Wow Mike, what a blog! Love the fun you have with bringing your relationship with God and your obvious love and care for humanity to the table – or should I say the golfing green 😉
Playing golf with God – tee hee!
I love the interplay between the two ‘characters’ here: the ‘I’ is complaining ‘When will people ever learn’ (echoing a certain famous song,) while God replies,
Let’s ‘ see how we have progressed in our thoughts, love and understanding for each other, no matter what our differences.’
The sign-post offered by God, pointing to the next green, is so beautifully put here… while there is no understanding there can be no true or enduring love.
Beautiful, playful read Mike. Indeed God communicates with us wherever we go, we just need to be open and listen.
Mike Stevenson I am so inspired from your sharing. The way you have written about God and your connection is intimately personable and humorous all at the same time. I thoroughly enjoyed reading and feeling you and your connection.
Yep, thank God for Universal Medicine.
Classic Mike.
Many Thanks for for such a fun read.
This blog is a true whole in one. Thank you for sharing this beautiful dream Mike. God has definitely got a great swing.
Thanks Mike for sharing your playful relationship with God.
This is lovely written.
I wonder what God would say if he where to walk and talk with us about the way the world is – could we really say that he would condone all the killing that is done in his name, all the separation and segregation and suffering caused by people acting under his so called commands? Would the highest form of being, God, really be the one to want the lowest forms of human existence to continue? Your blog really highlights the absurdity of how humanity currently uses God as an excuse for very horrific acts, and yet in all honesty it would be very unlikely to be his wish.
Rebecca, God gets blamed for so much in this world, it’s his fault there are wars, famine, disasters etc. He has the power to stop it all.
None of these things are his fault, man is given free will, but some people do not use that WILL to enhance making the world a much better place for all to live in.
It’s amazing how people call on God when there is a problem affecting their life, but at other time they just ignore him.
Exactly Mike, God has been used as a scapegoat for our irresponsibility for two long – it is about time we realise the fact that we have free will, and a choice as to how we use it. Choosing to make war and commit horrific acts are our responsibilities, not Gods. He is simply there, constantly offering us another way to be, whether we ask it of him or not.
I love your conversation here Mike and Rebecca. This attitude of blaming God for everything just shows how much he is something outside of ourselves, we do not really feel part of God – so he just becomes this somebody outside of us that we can blame, so we do not have to be responsible for whatever occurs in our lives.
There are no words to describe the power of what has been written here Mike. It has brought up tears, and connected to something I know I have lived and deeply miss. A profound living stillness and presence of which I am re-connecting too and sharing in with others. Thank you for the deep healing which unfolded with every word. God walks with us every moment of every day, every step of the way – sometimes I forget that.
A brilliant and engaging read – I love your blog Mike. You make light of a situation which is not so brilliant in the world – with many wars happening through history and even at this very moment. I agree with you (and God) on this one – “Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE”
What a delightfully gorgeous blog Mike, so playfully delivered. What a beautiful relationship you have developed with God that you even could go out for a golf game:)
What if God was one of us hey Mike. Great blog, highlights what I have thought about the world many times In regards to how devastating it can be. “progressed in our thoughts, love and understanding for each other, no matter what our differences.” bit of a key here ?
Emily, what if God was one of us…well he is and we are one with Him 🙂
..and he is always in front – but who counts?
I’ve answered my own question here: we do, by comparing instead of getting inspired.
Beautiful Carolien, I loved reading that.
I agree Emily – I wonder what would happen if God walked among us for a day – how many would recognise him, and how many would say ‘it can’t be him, he should be …..” How many would dismiss the possibility before they had even taken the time to know him. Funnily enough almost the exact same has happened to Serge since he has stood up and presented the Way of the Livingness. Many have recognised something in him that they remember, while others dismiss the remotest possibilities at the first chance, which is fine, however some then take the next step and have began to hurl lies and abuse. It is interesting to contemplate where humanity is with regards to its ability to recognise and listen to truth. Many wish for a second coming, but jesus was a humble carpenter, nothing fancy, and many other religious figures where nothing extraordinary in their time, so it begs the question as to if we would recognise God, were he to stand on a stage for us to see?
wow Rebecca, really well put. Many people wouldn’t recognize god as he is all around us already… and hardly anyone notices the divinity we can live in in our day to day lives.
Exactly Emily, while we continue to act as if God is something outside of us, we will continue to be missing something vital from our lives
Indeed – thank goodness for Universal Medicine. Thanks for the fun blog Mike.
Thank you Mike, a light and playful read expressing a truthful and important message for all.
Absolutely gorgeous blog Mike. Walking with God and observing the world and all our choices as a global family could be a daily occurrence for us all. Besides we are never really alone are we?
Thank you GOD for Universal Medicine and thank you Universal Medicine for bringing us a deeper understanding of GOD 🙂
Yes, and that understanding is ours, it is not given to us but our own understanding.
Awesome point, Christoph – they are OUR understandings – absolutely. Thank you for stating that so clearly.
Haha yes exactly kathrynfortuna – Universal Medicine is a gift from God, but we can only appreciate this with the understanding and knowing of God that has been brought to us by Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. They are an awesome combo.
Very well said, kathrynfortuna. Thank you Universal Medicine for helping me find my way back to God, and thank you God for everything!
Hear, hear Kathryn. Mike has presented a fundamental truth in my books… that God is ever-with us, and if we do not feel it so, then why do we choose to resist the Greatness of His Love? This is a holy parable for all, of the most true kind.
Gorgeous blog, Mike! I love your relationship with God.
Mike, I love your little encounter with God and am looking forward to hear some more.
Great story/dream/blog Michael….and I too say ‘Thank goodness for Universal Medicine’….one of my favourite things about attending a Universal Medicine course is seeing all the different people coming together from all walks life, all ages, all experiences and realising that we are all wanting to be the love we naturally we are and that we all come from the same essence of love, joy, stillness and harmony. But we make life choices that get in the way of being that so we – as students – have decided to take responsibility for these choices and heal the hurts that have come from them whilst also choosing more loving ones that connect us to our essence. It’s pretty cool. And so is God.
I love your expression Sarah and can relate to what you share, and yes it is all about making choices that connect us back to our true essence.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable and engaging read – I wonder why God didn’t join you at the 19th hole 🙂
Michelle. God and I are both teetotal.
I couldn’t agree more, Mike, thank God for Universal Medicine and the countless lessons bestowed on us about how to be a responsible and decent human being.
Very cool post Mike bringing so much truth and reflecting that the presence of God is everywhere and with us all-ways whenever we choose to be with Him.
I loved reading this Mike. Your sense of fun and huge love of humanity shines through every word. I too say ‘thank goodness for Universal Medicine
Wow, I love reading it. Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience of connecting to God. I used to think that God only connected with people who were special or very religious. Now, I know that God is with us and in us all along. It is just that I have chosen to disconnect from God and chosen to question His existence in the past. Your blog is so beautiful, powerful and thought provoking. I would like to highlight the part about Universal Medicine, it is bringing back what we’ve deeply lost, living with love, truth and harmony.
Mike I love your playfulness and yet at the same time what you bring to our attention here is very poignant. As a human race we like to think we are evolved and civilised much better than those barbarians of the past but in reality nothing has changed other than our ability to bring devastation on a larger scale. As you say we are all one and the same under the outer surface and it is high time we started to remember that and act accordingly.
I look forward to hearing about your next round with God.
Mike Stevenson, this blog is so very clever! I loved every word 🙂
I appreciate Universal Medicine more than I could ever express in words, but despite this, I commit to sharing my appreciation more and more ..and more each day. The whole world deserves to know that there is another way..
Love it Mike, so much fun to read….thank goodness that you are writing! Very inspiring to read about your deep and playful relationship with God.
Love your sense of humour Mike, amazing how God is everywhere, even on the Golf Course!, and seems to know everything. Trust you will share your next encounter …..
You got this to the tee Mike. Great and fun read and yet the questions you asked are very serious. I completely agree… thank God for Universal Medicine and for showing us another way.
A friend said to me yesterday that we are living the future now. It is true. We can live the future now. We can live in brotherhood hood as people in the future will live.
Thank you Mike, the wonderful, wise and loving man you are shines though your words. Wise words from God too: ‘thank goodness for Universal Medicine :-)!’
Dear Mike,
Could you hook us up with a game with your mate? I’m not the best at golf but love talking science, philosophy and anything god like.
Awesome funny, touching and sweet story. I’ll second God in the thanking Universal Medicine too!!
I loved the lightness and humour of your writing. God is with us all the time in whatever we are doing ready to share his wisdom.
I love the ending Mike! “…God was gone. Or was He?”
Wow the Golf course will never be the same Mike, I love how you have made God so accessible and down to earth.
Thank you for this little story about walking with God. And thank you for reminding me that we can walk and talk with God each day, wherever we are. And his knowledge we can hear and feel if we look deep enough. And….. thank goodness for Universal Medicine for helping us see the way.
The playfullness, love and tenderness of walking and being with God just oozes from your blog Mike. I feel this most when I walk and you have put down exactly what I feel is there for all of us if we choose to connect with it.
Really enjoyed your sharing Mike – Membership at the golf club with more than double if you let this one out!
I love hearing stories like this. You have reminded me to chat to God more. He so gets it!
Mike I love your love of us all, your exquisite sensitivity
Walking with God does sounds like a dream come true Mike even when playing golf!
Hi Mike. What a treat to read this, such an interesting blog kept me intrigued. I was waiting to read something I did not know or something that would be the answer. Just reminds me how much we search outside ourselves for the answer eg. NASA and the latest mission of capturing the furtherest most images from earth = Pluto. I can feel the people on the project how they have finally achieved something that is outside of themselves. To me, they do not feel healthy, vital, and naturally joy-full.
All the answers to the universe and evolution are inside you. SO, “Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE …” – love this statement it says it all !! Thats why it has the name Universal Medicine – connect to the universe through your essence. Yes We Are Big .
The parable writer revealed Mike Stevenson. Life can indeed be a constant conversation with God (and I don’t refer to any of that hogwash as bandied about in new age circles some time back).
You write of the real thing, and deliver His truth for us all. Brilliant.
And what a golf buddy to have!
Yes Doug… this is worth quoting again and again. ‘Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE’ indeed. Where would the world be without a Universal form of medicine to support us all in truly taking responsibility for healing the mass mess we are in.
Thank you Mike , this made my day . Nothing like a sense of humour to help us ‘be light’ around the enormously serious issues this world faces.
Love it , love it .
So simple and yet so profound, ‘we all bleed red blood and feel pain and sorrow, but like everyone we all yearn to love and be loved.’
This is such a sweet blog Mike, with a mighty powerful message. I really enjoyed the playfulness of your writing – thank you!
This is the best kind of story telling Mike, its like a delightfully fun parable reminding us Universal Medicine is to be celebrated. For all the dark and problems of the world Universal Medicine has a way forward and how very fitting of God to point this out – it is after all his handy work.
Mike, it feels like you have a profound relationship with God! Love it.
I agree and Mike’s blog is inspiring me to deepen my relationship with God, with myself and with people.
I was engaged from the first sentence and loved every line there after. Thank you for being so inspired by another to write this for us all.
Classic Mike – so much lightness in your writing and absolute truth – Thank goodness for Universal Medicine.
Thank you Mike what a thoroughly enjoyable and insightful read. I especially like “Once war was sticks and stones, then bows and arrows and then guns, now it is weapons of mass destruction.” Makes me question have we really evolved, we may be able to do things today that we once only thought possible in science fiction movies, yet we have more slavery, more illness and disease and more abuse in the world than ever before. Are we really advancing or are we going backwards?
Great question Caroline. I remember as a young person watching films which championed how civilised we now were because we had technological inventions like the car and TV. This didn’t make sense even on a practical level, I knew I hadn’t clue about how TVs actually worked and I was no more evolved than anyone in the past because I wouldn’t have a clue how to build one. To think I was superior because a few had invented these things felt wrong.
Now I’ve observed how technology is championed for connecting people more than ever before, for bringing people together in communications and entertainment. Technology is amazing at connecting people and can be a great learning tool. But what’s the quality of the communications?
It is easy to hide from the world behind a computer or TV screen, for adults and children; to numb out from the world. The internet is amazing tool but look at how it’s used to bully and indoctrinate not forgetting its own dark underbelly where all sorts of criminal activity takes place. Are we using technology to bring us all together as equals or to divide by pitting one person’s interests against another?
This is such an important question.
This is a gorgeous blog Mike, God is that real and practical and yes thank goodness (God) and Serge Benhayon for Universal Medicine and the awareness it has brought us all. I don’t know where I would be without it.
In a bunker still looking for the ball!
Building castles in the sand maybe, rather than foundations of Love?
Mike that’s really cool ! as I read and laughed with you and God, thank God-ness for Universal Medicine and for every day I have come to appreciate and accept my true relationship with God.
That was same game of golf! I agree with God. Universal medicine has the answer to all the issues we see in the world today.
I agree with God as well Leonne. Universal Medicine actually does have all the answers for the issues we see in society today. No stone goes unturned, and there is common theme running throughout all of what is presented and that is to bring the fullness of who you are to everything in life, take responsibility for yourself and all you choices, do it all from a foundation of love, and let people in. Just imagine. . .
Thank you Mike and Leonne, I agree, God and the divinely inspired Universal Medicine holds all answers to the world’s issues!
Thank goodness indeed for Universal Medicine! And yes, God is everywhere and always with us, in fact, I am going to have lunch with God in half hour.
Thank goodness indeed for Universal Medicine. And yes, God is everywhere and always with us, in fact, I am going to have lunch with God in half hour.
Haha, God is having a lot of appointments,,, and there is nothing where he cannot be if we just allow. We always think about God as a complicated thing, but it’s not – God shows himself in the simplest ways we can imagine – even in a golf game.
Fascinating read Mike – I’m not a golfer but enjoyed walking on the green with you…and yes, God is with us every step of the way.
I enjoyed reading your light-hearted but profound blog Mike.There are great words of wisdom here along with the birdies and eagles( golf figures quite a lot in my house hold so I understand the terminology).As you say thank goodness for Universal Medicine “letting people know there is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world”. Thank you for sharing your beautiful golf dream.God really is everywhere.
It is true Sue there really is much wisdom here and done so with much simplicity. I really enjoyed reading this also and can see how simple life continues to be when we are just ourselves.
Epic Mike.
What a great yarn, playing golf with God, having the opportunity to see a champion at play (!!!) and get the chance to talk about the craziness and lovelessness of this world. Definitely worth a sequel, I’ll be watching this space.
Mike, what a gorgeous and and truly heartwarming blog – an important reminder to us all that God is always with us and that it is up to each and every one of us whether we open up and see the grandness of that – or not.
Thank you God for Universal Medicine. Great blog
Mike – your expression is so powerful and an exact reflection of the awesome man I am blessed to know. I stopped playing golf a while ago – but your blog is tempting me back on to the fairways….as long as I get to play with people like you and God and have these kind of conversations.
I loved this Mike! I was grinning from ear to ear all the way through! Yes, I absolutely agree… thank goodness for Universal Medicine offering us another way… The Way of the Livingness.
Gorgeous expression Mike. Universal Medicine has enabled me to make sense of the world, and myself – to understand and thus to heal. God, in his/ her wisdom, allowing us all to have free will, to choose our path, until we all come back to the one true way
Nice Blog Mike. God is communicating with us constantly, are we listening to it? It really is magic to consider. We all have a relationship with God, it’s not reserved to anyone in particular, but to all equally.
Well said, Harry. I love what you have shared here.
He sure is harryjwhite. It is amazing how long I have denied myself conversations with God because I believed people who told me that God did not exist or I believed that God only spoke with a selected few – although I knew that this was not what I felt to be true. God is always with and within us, if we choose to listen and have a relationship with him. And absolutely harryjwhite, it certainly is one Magical Relationship – with God and with Everyone.
A fun and gorgeous reality – God is everywhere always with us, clear as day. If I can’t feel his loving presence them I’m the one who’s gone missing from my self. I’m discovering none ever leaves us; it’s us who leave ourselves.
This is so true Sandra, I’m just beginning to realise this too. Thank you Mike for sharing your golf outing with God. What an great game! Void of competition yet filled with joy.
This is so beautifully playful Mike and just shows that god is with us everywhere even on the golfing green.
I so agree with you Kelly, when you say that “God is with us everywhere even on the golfing green.” Some folk I know well who play golf regularly may feel to differ with that little gem of truth – however, even presented in this playful mode, I feel that is the way it is if only we invite her/him to play with us.
What a lovely way to share how you feel Mike. It is true that we have all learnt so much about dealing with so many parts of life that hurt us and create complication through Universal Medicine, yet what I have loved the most is the freedom to choose for yourself. No must-do, only what if you looked at it from this angle – what then?
God and golf…who would have thought? Love it Mike Stevenson, thank you for sharing this gorgeous conversation. It is absolutely true what God says about Universal Medicine. Only true change in the world can happen when there is true responsibility and true love being lived…I thank God for Universal Medicine!
God is everywhere- even on the golf course:)
I reckon God would play a mighty fine game of golf Mike, seeing as how he knows physics inside and out.
I also reckon he would hold a mighty fine conversation, listening with great attentiveness to all that we have to say about this world.
As for his feelings about Universal Medicine, I can only concur with you – a philosophical, religious and scientific school founded on the principles of love, truth, stillness, true harmony and the most pure form of joy, and the connection to Him that is found in the depths of our inner hearts.
A beautiful blog Mike, from a beautiful man.
Mike, this is a great blog, and a great starting point, although might I add there there are far more insidious forms of evil than just corruption, war, rape and murder. If we could rate evil, at the top of my list would be apathy, for when you think about it, the actions we so detest in society are only in truth carried out by a few, but it is the inaction by the many that allows such actions to gain such a foothold in the first place. Please invite me along next time, for I have a few questions of my own.
It is a great point you are making here Adam – humanity as a whole seem to have given up on truth in general, meaning we are not standing up for it and calling out what goes on. Certainly we all need to take responsibility for what we contribute to the whole.
Mike, you’ve nailed a hole in one with this post! Love your humour and wisdom and the big takeaway about what Universal Medicine is bringing to humanity. On top of that, a round of golf with an amazing playing partner thrown in.
This has gorgeousness written all over it. I love the playful way you have presented God and yes, it is true, God walks beside us all of the time, even when we are playing golf!
Awesome Mike.. Although yes there is much corruption and pain in the world, there are more and more people standing up for truth and bringing love back. Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon are leading the way in this; they have inspired hundreds of people to reconnect back and reclaim their true health. If we all started doing the same it’s amazing to think how many people we could offer this same choice to.
Mike this is a gorgeous story with clear insight. I got to feel the heavyness and chaotic ways of how most of the world operates compared to the lightness and revelatory ways of Universal Medicine. I can’t express enough my relief at finally coming to the truth through Universal Medicine.
It is true: “we all bleed red blood”, and at our core we are of the same love and can work towards living in harmony. I am inspired by Serge Benhayon and other students of the Way of the Livingness to keep coming back to this truth.. to accept my mistakes and qualities, to accept others, to accept responsibility more and and work on patterns that get in the way of living more of who I really am.
Gorgeous Mike – God never leaves, it is us who walk away.
Loved this Mike and it certainly had me smiling at the delightful picture you painted – you and God enjoying a game of golf, a game that was full of so much wisdom. And yes, I also say thank goodness for Universal Medicine, especially as through my association with this wonderful organisation I have finally being able re-connect to God after a very long separation
I love the originality of this blog Mike, God being with us in everything we do, even golf. Thank goodness indeed for Universal Medicine, making sense of a world that if we stop and look at, is getting more and more intense. Universal Medicine has offered me a perspective I am very grateful on, as to why things are as they are. It is great to finally make sense of a world that does not.
I equate your game of golf with a “stop and reflect” on what Universal Medicine has offered me, is offering us, is offering the world. Whether playing golf, or just taking a moment, it is so important to appreciate that.
I know the originality of the blog is inspiring Stephen, it shows how many different ways we can play with truth and how to deliver it.
A chance meeting between fellow walkers of the fairway? I suspect not.
Great point Giselle, I wonder how many encounters we dismiss as random, yet even the most random encounter can change the shape of our day or even our life. That random smile or compliment by a complete stranger may only last a fleeting moment yet can transform our lives.
I love this blog Mike, I do agree with God here, “thank ‘Godness’ for Universal Medicine” as we are reminded we are all equally sparks of God and naturally come from love. We are reminded we are here to work together to be in brotherhood and support each other on our return, to live in a way that is harmony with each other and the world we live in… and it is indeed possible, and starts with each one of us.
Mike reading your blog and your connection with God on the golf course brought a huge smile and a few tears of joy from my heart.
What a beautiful confirmation and celebration of the amazing and truly gorgeous man you are. Your huge vast love for people and all that you bring, naturally and effortlessly so, from the depth and warmth of love you are in your huge innermost heart is simply glorious. Having been married to you for 31 years I can absolutely confirm that this is true!
Expressed simply with Love and the deepest appreciation for you simply being you – Mike Stevenson – ‘you rock’! ….bring it on for the world to enjoy!
Beautifully expressed Stephanie. I loved ”’you rock’! …bring it on for the world to enjoy!”… I second that!
Steph. Your love and support has bought me to where I am today.
Thank you Mike fro your appreciation. The beauty is – that which is true within you has always been, and always will be, deep inside you (and equally so for everyone) – it is a sheer joy observing these qualities emanating and shining out from you more and more.
I simply love the unseen constellations that brought us together all those years ago – there are definitely no coincidences! There is so much for us both to share with the world and appreciate Universal Medicine for the choices and changes I too have made in my life.
Beautiful Stephanie, such honouring in your words, very inspiring –‘you equally rock’. ☺
Best golf story EVER. I’m going to say it – thank God for Universal Medicine and Mike Stevenson!
I am in full agreement with you here Helen!
Hear hear Helen – thank God!
I love that Universal Medicine brings brotherhood and that everyone is equal.
Mike this is a really play-full blog that describes Universal Medicine to a Tee! That’s the whole in One!
Barbara – what a brilliant and playful way you use words here- they have set off a smile that I can’t wipe off.
Play-full yet profound in asking us to ponder the Truth of where we as humanity are at. Thank you God for Universal Medicine and all that they bring for us All.
Why does it take for a disaster to strike, personal or worldly, before we come together to show our very natural and absolute dedication, love, support and equality we feel for one another?
Mike, this is an incredibly powerful blog, straight from your heart. Thank you – it made me, laugh, cry, and feel so much joy. I loved it for its simple truth and honesty.
What a beautiful story Mike – I was captured to the end. I echo God’s words “Thank goodness for Universal Medicine” who have consistently brought to us the true meaning of love, and shown us by their living way that brotherhood is about being open to everyone no matter what the external differences – we are all the same.
Mike, I love your golfing day with God. Dream or not, it shows me no matter where I am, whatever I am doing, I know God is alongside me.
I didn’t realise God was so good at Golf, but I agree that God would say this about Universal Medicine. Universal Medicine are a one of a kind organisation that share the truth about equality and connection and the fact that we are all son’s of God, but have just forgotten how to live in a way that allows this light of God to shine through. The Way of The Livingness as founded by Serge Benhayon is again sharing this way to bring back equality, love and harmony amongst all.
Thank you for this beautiful blog, representing that we all know everything and how we can feel what the world needs, and start with ourselfves to live the love that we all are.
Exactly Benkt – we all need to start with ourselves. We are all responsible for making the change we want to see in the world, not by guilt driven charity and trying to ‘do good’ but by simply start to treat ourselves with love and true care, learning to deeply honour ourselves, and this will be what we naturally bring to the world. Imagine the impact if living like that was the norm in society.
What an amazing blog, Mike, absolutely I love it. I agree with you wholeheartedly regarding the present state of the world, you have encapsulated it beautifully. Yes, it is an absolute mess! I have always felt much was wrong in the world, but have come to see so much more depth to the mess over the past few years. I love the reply from God – “Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE where people of many races, nationalities and age groups from all walks of life have got together to look at the way forward in brotherhood;……………..… letting people know there is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world.”
I too give heart-full thanks for Universal Medicine and also Serge Benhayon who have shown me a way to be living which is so very different to that which so much of the world are living.
What a profound blog Mike. I was smiling all the way through. Thank you.
Me to Shevon, and thank God for Mike who still enjoys a round of golf!
What a beautiful way to start the day – I shall smile all day but I shall also cry. This is a blog that has to be read a zillion times. It’s a poem. It reveals so much and it confirms so much – thank you God for Universal Medicine and thank you God for Serge Benhayon. And thank you Mike for waking me up again to remind me of my relationship with God – and worth pondering on the fact that 19 = 1+9 = 10 = a new beginning every time – so by my reckoning He’s ready for another round.
Yes Michael…on the course rather than in the bar!
It is true Mike, with everything adverse that is currently going on in the world, Universal Medicine shines like a great beacon of truth, drawing those who are ready to step up into their true glory from all over the world. Brotherhood will be restored.
Wow, what an inspired and captivating blog. I absolutely love it Mike! It’s so playful… who would have thought God would join you in a game of golf? But then on reflection, God joins us in everything we do, every where we go, doesn’t he? I truly appreciate Universal Medicine too. I have never come across another organisation where everyone in the group is committed to seeing where in their lives they don’t choose a loving way, learning from mistakes and taking responsibility for all their actions. I count my blessings that I found the Way of the Livingness.
Yes Mike thank God for Universal Medicine, Serge Benhayon and all the Benhayons, and all the different inspiring people I have met through courses etc. The only thing that matters is the quality of how you live your life, today not last year but how you are today, are you love or not love, if your not love they support you to return. No race, creed, status required. Just love.
very playful way to introduce some big topics. Thanks Mike.
This is delightful Mike. A gorgeous little story full of truth.
Oh Mike, if you could see the smile you brought to my face broad as from the first tee to the 18th hole. Your deep love for people is rocking, epic, stupendous and life changing for everyone you meet, what a blessing to have you with us.
I agree Alex, a huge smile as I read your comment too. Mike’s deep love for people is definitely rocking through this blog! An absolute a joy read. What touched me deeply was his love and care for people, which I felt in the simple words ” supporting each other”.
What a great lesson from playing golf with God- I love the respect and love he addressed you with. I love the simple overview he has of so many problems mankind have not come to terms with or even considered a priority.
What an inspiring blog – and so good to share a laugh as we play with God! Thank you Mike, this is a brilliant story. I loved it.
What a great blog Mike, echoing your and Gods huge appreciation for Universal Medicine and what it has brought all of us.
I love this Mike, thank goodness for Universal Medicine.
I agree Mike, thank God for Universal Medicine and all the students that are willing to stand up for the truth, like yourself “…letting people know there is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world.”
Mike I enjoyed reading your blog and for me God is never far from my side also!
Lovely story Mike. What strikes me about your statement regarding wars is that as we develop more and more ‘powerful’ weapons, the threat becomes more real to more people. Are we being shown here, that we need to take action now and not wait until we are personally ‘looking down the barrel’? All too often we have ignored the ills of our world because ‘they don’t affect me personally’. Well, we can’t say that anymore. We are all affected and we all need to accept responsibility for the ills in our world and start addressing them. Starting with being more loving with ourselves. Maybe that’s reflected by God not going into the bar!? Par for the course!
richardmills363 I agree with you about addressing the ills in our world by being more loving with ourselves. In time we shall come to realise that the world is simply a reflection of our relationship with ourselves. It is our relationship with ourselves that creates the world we live in. There is such tension in the world because people are living in such tension with themselves. Once we begin to feel a more loving, harmonious relationship with ourselves then we also start to receive this and see this outside of ourselves.
Mike what a great blog post. It really hits home the current state of humanity and the fact of the incredible difference that everyone involved with Universal Medicine is making. God certainly is on the mark as thank Goodness for Universal Medicine because without that support and the community I know my life would be a mere existence of turmoil as that is what it was beforehand. Certainly important to appreciate every angle of it and every person.
Yes David I agree soulfully. Thank God that Universal Medicine is a part of The Plan.
Next time you and God want company on a round count me in. Loved it Mike – humorous, truthful and 350 yards off the tee – that I’d travel for….
Ha! Alan – I may even be tempted to ‘caddy’ from the golf buggy if you and Adam are joining Mike for the next round of Golf with God!
Thank you Mike for your round of golf with God. I used to play and felt it was the closest sport to God as I had to be completely with my body and mind working together when I chose to look for recognition for a good shot or game the next game sent me back to the reality that comparison just doesn’t work. You have looked at it in another vein but all our considerations of what is going on in the world just really comes back to the simplicity of how we live our lives with God’s presence (in your golf game) or without.
Wow Mike- what you share here about the state of the world is in absolute honesty. As I read this it shows that your willingness to be completely open and call out what is going on, leads to a huge healing. Yes – Universal Medicine is a game changer – and I loved reading the conversation you had here. It is how we should be talking to each other all the time. Asking questions about what is really going on, appreciating where we are at. So inspiring.
‘Universal Medicine is a game changer’ indeed and supporting so many to question what is happening in the world and to step up and take responsibility for living in a truer way to reflect to humanity that we don’t have to continue down this destructive path.
Beautifully said Mike. Thank God for Universal Medicine. After spinning around in the dark for so many years the light is now on. Every day I am so grateful to Universal Medicine for switching it on.
Lucy your description of how you were spinning around in the dark made me consider how I felt before coming to Universal Medicine. For me it was more of a stumbling around in the dark. The ironic thing is I truly believed that the light was on !
I laughed out loud Alexis when I read: “I truly believed that the light was on !”. Oh how true is that for me too, thinking that the light was on when actually I was just existing in the dark, and sadly I had learned to do that well. These days, thanks to the Ancient Wisdom that Universal Medicine is presenting to the world, the light is definitely well and truly on, and shining very brightly.
I love the way you have said that Lucy. I feel like I was spinning in the dark too. Now not only is the light on but I’ve stopped spinning. And couldn’t agree more – thank God for Universal Medicine.
What a beautiful dream and how much loving appreciation expressed for Universal Medicine in everything thank you for sharing this Mike. I love how you have shared from God saying and communicating with you –
“Thank goodness for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE where people of many races, nationalities and age groups from all walks of life have got together to look at the way forward in brotherhood; supporting each other to change their outlook on life, accepting responsibility for all intentions, thoughts and actions, learning from past mistakes to be open to everybody, being loving and understanding to all… letting people know there is another way to being LOVE and HARMONY in this world.”
What a beautiful game, Mike! And what an awesome sharing of appreciation for Universal Medicine. Truly endorsed by God!
Hear hear Naren! Universal Medicine really does inspire by example true love and equality in brotherhood, something much needed in today’s society of inequality, competition, corruption and wars. Through Universal Medicine I have come to appreciate and accept a true relationship with God, one which stems from a relationship with myself. Thank you Universal Medicine!
Cool Blog Mike – Makes God more practically real and not some invisible, unreachable character up in the sky.
Yes, a lovely reminder that we each can choose to walk the light of Heaven with these feet made of flesh.
I agree Matts. At first I thought people may think this story was written by a crazy person sounding like he was talking to a man who didn’t exist. I was hesitant to continue reading. Then as I read I reflected on what God is and means to me.. turns out me and God are pretty tight 🙂
God is a quality that feels as equally vibrant and stupendous as it does normal, it can be in someones smile, the sparkle in their eye, the feeling of grace. In Gods presence I learn about life and the cycles we all live in. My cycle as a woman, as a professional, as a daughter, as a wife, the seasonal cycles of nature, the magic of how our body parts work together, the moon cycles and how this is in balance with the tides. All of this is found in God.
Thank you for writing this blog Mike it has supported me to claim and not be shy to share my relationship with God and Divinity.
This is a beautiful exploration of your relationship with God Abby. “God is a quality that feels as equally vibrant and stupendous as it does normal, it can be in someones smile, the sparkle in their eye, the feeling of grace”
So true Matts God is so reachable through connection within.
I love this Mike, thank you for sharing your experience of ‘golfing with God’. There is a tangible tenderness in your expression that is beautiful and profound.
Yes, the end gave me goosebumps.
