599 thoughts on “Magic of Knowing… We are All One & the Same on the Inside”

1. We are the One who are the many who have been divided from each other and the Oneness we are from when we started to see ourselves as a single isolated unit in a vast sea of individuals we then began competing with.

2. Can we behold the unique differences of expression we all have knowing that in essence we are all one and the same?

3. I love the joy and confirmation of each other in this and how we could be in life if we truly appreciated all we are as one, the emptiness loneliness and separation simply would not occur . A beautiful simple sharing of the love we all are.

4. I was just feeling us all as one grand body. We may represent different parts, though to work harmoniously as a whole, we need every part. Equal love, care and respect for each magnificent expression that makes us.

5. This is a beautifully confirming read of the equal love we are, and these reflections are a joy to feel and appreciate. Thank you Pinky.

6. This is a beautiful point to consider. We all have the idea that we’re all the same on the inside, but what does that actually mean and feel like. There’s a deeper understanding that we can all constantly develop, deepen and embody.

7. I can feel the innocent joy that you shared, a childlike joy and this is what comes back to us in bucket loads as we learn to love, care and nurture ourselves.

8. Learning to appreciate myself has been key to deepening the relationship with myself and others, when I am in connection with myself I find it is very natural for me to share my love and warmth with others.

9. We are taught to rely just in what we see through our eyes and many times in what we judge based on the physical appearence of people. But how wonderful finding here another way to see and feel from within where we can recognize and appreciate in others the same joy and playfullnes, the light and the pure tenderness and love that is in all of us.

10. Pinky I felt deeply touched when you expressed about how easy we can see the beauty in others but not so often in ourselves. I’ve lived during many years being affected by this pattern that left me feeling very small. I used to compare myself with others, believing that my value as a woman meant nothing. Today thanks to the work with Universal Medicine I’m learning to rely on what I feel inside me instead of the pictures that my mind throw me if I’m not present. I’ve come to learn about being responsible of the choices I make. How I’ve felt during my life was a choice, not a curse, so now I’m choosing to let my heart lead the way. Now I can see and appreciate myself for who I really am and it feels amazing indeed, because is what we all are 🙂

11. When we allow ourselves to connect to each other, we start to reflect back who we each are, and in that there is no colour, race or religion which confirms that we are all equal.

12. What we see is simply what we choose to see, leaving aside everything we choose not to see.

13. Your blog has me pondering if there could be a depth of relationship we can share with each other that we have not yet explored, it feels to me like we accept surface relationships a lot of the time without really sharing the most beautiful, most precious parts of ourselves.

14. Its so lovely to feel, when we let go of any past hurts we may have had with another, how beautiful and abundant our true connection is.

15. I love the connections that I have with all different people with different cultures, colours and locations. What I have noticed is that it is not about any of what make them who they are from this different aspects of life but it is the connection within and how really and truly they are all the same.

16. Pinky from a young age I’ve always wondered why despite us having different skin colour, underneath this everything was exactly the same. When we bleed, the colour is the same.

    I loved what you wrote “what you see in me is in you too, we are same” – that confirms what I felt when I was young.

17. I love that you and your friend felt and reconnected to a joy within and that this was felt in each other with not a word uttered. This shows that we can ‘say’ I love you without necessarily saying it. For we say it all in how we move and the way we connect to one another.

18. Pinky you have exposed the goal of ‘tolerance’ as an aim in society. Yes we can all live together but essentially in tolerance we put up with one another, tolerate our differences, such as religious affiliation, what we believe, what we eat etc. What I love about what you are sharing is that you are asking if our differences are true? Is what we see on the surface, the same as what’s going on deep within. Maybe our external differences are there simply for us to ask deeper questions and find out what really makes us tick on the inside. Then we would find as you have done, that we are really all one and the same.

19. In realising and knowing that we are all the same there is no place for comparison, jealousy or judgement.

20. Yes Linda, that is why the choice to be responsible for our own behaviour, rather than focus on someone else’s, is so important to appreciate. The ripple effect goes far and wide – from one simple choice to take responsibility for connecting with ourselves and building a self-loving connection.

21. I felt like I was with you on your walk! I too have felt that with a dear friend of mine on a walk and realised at that point that I could not keep it to that one person, that it was to be felt with everyone I came into contact with. There are situations where I find that simple, and others where it is more challenging, but it is clear that if we choose to keep peeling off the layers of protection, then we all know this internal equality to be truth.

22. This is so clearly reinforced when we look into anyone’s eyes… There is always a spark there… Sometimes buried deep if I know but there is that light and spark within every human eyes.

23. This is an age-old understanding that is always good to be reinforced with clarity and reconnection… It is not a truism, it is a living awareness.

24. It just goes to show the connection with another is a stronger confirmation of who you are.

25. Often we need the other as a reminder that this is us too, and then we can take it to another level, to embrace that if we see that in another it’s is us too. We get there together.

26. ‘We are all one and the same on the inside’…a simple truth yet we have not made it our common experience as a global society. We have moments of this but largely this is not the reality of most people and has never been throughout history. Perhaps as a society we ought to consider why this is the case?

27. In saying ‘we are all the same’ is is so key that we recognise this applies to ourselves. And then jealousy would have no standing, as we would simply be reflecting back to each other the claimed beauty of who we are.

28. Knowing we are all the same is a great foundation upon which to interact with everyone.

29. For me what you have expressed here Pinky is what is possible when we let each other in, truly connecting with who we are and being open, a beautiful intimacy is what then comes to the surface to be lived.

30. I read this totally differently this morning and could feel another layer revealed to me. Everyone and everything is communicating to us all of the time. We all have an opportunity to see with our whole bodies, to feel, to get a sense of what is beyond the physical and all those parts make up the whole of what we see!

31. This is so true Pinky and the reason for this truth is that we all come from the same source which is not of this world.

32. “How strange it is that we see beauty in others but fail to see that same beauty in ourselves too!” Yes, very strange indeed! When we look at a field of the same flowers growing together, although each one has its own uniqueness, we don’t look at them and say they are different! Is it not the same for us? Although we all have our own unique features, we are all made from the same substance and are all the same on the inside.

33. When we stop to feel and appreciate all we cross paths with, we begin to feel the symbiotic nature of the whole, that in truth we all confirm each other by walking from our connection from within. This is where we will see and reflect the true nature and connection of the all, showing us the grandeur and honesty of the full picture right before us.

34. My life began to change when I started to appreciate and accept myself, deepening this relationship with myself has been key for me and has made it easier to bring this appreciation and love to others around me.

35. There is so much to appreciate when we understand the value of what we are offered in the reflection from others, an opportunity to be inspired to be more of who truly are.

36. We miss out on so much when we focus only on and define who we are through our physicality. Of course we then would only see our differences, through which we compare, compete and judge one another. Yet our true measure of who we are is found in our connection to our essence where are one and the same, as within we are no different to another. We all breath the same air, we all have the same colour blood and we all have within a heart that knows what absolute love is – we only need to connect to it and let this lead us.

37. Because our eyes are often trained to see what they are trained to see, what we are able and willing to see is always limited. When we feel others, we also experience that people are different (their vibration and level of denseness is different and this feels different as well). Yet, when you understand what is behind the level of vibration we realize that we are only different because we align energetically differently and make different choices. Other than that, we are one in essence.

38. I love how you have likened us the humanity to a jigsaw puzzle. Everyone counts. None of us can go AWOL. Together, we are complete.

39. If we rely only on our eyes, we are blind to see the manner of being of those around us. It’s taken sometime to fully grasp this, but the truth is that we receive images to our eyes and not in fact look – hands there must be two manners of being , 1) to be still, observe and respond, and 2 ) to already be in a form of trying to do something which disconnects is from this observation and sense of space.

40. It’s great to see life a different way and not buy into life just being ‘this way’ or believing you are not able to change something. Life can be seen in a different way, you can make a change, it’s just that you should wait for the change to come as you/we will need to live the change. In other words, use the world around you as a reflection and from what you see is needing change, bring that change to how you are and live it strong. The world may not follow suit but the ripple effect of what you are doing will be seen.

41. ‘We were physically two, but walking as one, enjoying and being inspired by each other. It was like looking at your own reflection in a mirror and falling in love. Wow! What a reflection that was!” so beautiful to read Thank you Pinky for sharing, we are teachers and students all rolled into one and the reflection we give to each other can be inspiring and life changing reminding us that we are all the same in brotherhood.

42. For two woman to share true intimacy in the way you describe above is sadly rare in a world where jealousy, comparison and self criticism amongst woman is considered quite normal.

43. It makes such a difference when we see everybody else as completely equal and the same to us regardless of skin colour, age, sex etc.. we have just made different choices but inside are all love. It takes away any notion that people don’t care or are out to get us etc.. and brings it back to the fact that we all know love just may not be choosing it for whatever reason. And so takes judgement out of the equation and brings in appreciation as well as purpose, knowing that there is work to be done as we have strayed so far away from the essence and love that we are.

44. I recently heard an Aboriginal Elder give a talk at a NAIDOC Day event. He shared how we are all the same, we all bleed the same colour blood yet we act like we are different. We see ourselves as different and are then separated from each other but it is the coming together and seeing that underneath we are all the same were true harmony and togetherness lies.

    1. So true, we are all the same, we do all bleed the same colour blood and the separation comes through all of us! It is an illustration of insanity really. The correction of separation, when we know that segregation and something like apartheid is wrong, it goes the other way which is not right either. The sooner we ‘get’ from our bodies and not our heads that we are all equal, the sooner we will stop seeing the atrocities we are currently seeing and experiencing.

45. For many years I have been hearing that we are all the same on the inside, and for the best part for me it was only a concept, because I was blocked from feeling the truth of those words, but what I have noticed is that when we are connected there is a deeper relationship to be had with another. And then when you look into the eyes of another there is no feeling of being separate and then in that moment you see the beauty of the other but feel it in yourself also.

46. This is such a lovely awareness of how to invite ourselves to appreciate who we are in our essence. It is one thing to appreciate the qualities of another but when claimed for ourselves and everyone equally expansion is possible and radiates out to everyone.

47. It is truly joyful when we allow ourselves to feel the very tangible experience of meeting another in the intimacy of each other’s shared uniqueness, and all coming from the one same source.

    1. Thanks Gabriele for this, the presence of joy is very confirming that what is being felt and shared is coming from a connection to the one same source.

48. “How strange it is that we see beauty in others but fail to see that same beauty in ourselves too! Good point Pinky. What we see in others, be it perceived as ‘good or bad’ is a reflection for ourselves to look at – and appreciate – or recognise that we have work to do.

49. What we see with our eyes as opposed to what we feel with our hearts can indeed be very different Pinky and learning to discern what it true and what is not true is a lesson in life we all need to master.

50. It is so gorgeous to read your blog again Pinky. Love doesn’t have to be expressed through words, we can feel love energetically through our body as every particle in our body vibrate to the language of love, expressed through our movements.

51. If we really embraced the fact that we are all equal on the inside then we could not possibly have the world that we live in today. This is why it is so important to not let anything get in the way of knowing our true nature and that we focus on the truths of life rather than the ill lies that come when we disconnect from ourselves and therefore all others.

    1. Embracing our true nature and living that love would literally change our world, the inner and the outer world. Do we appreciate and accept the power we each hold as an equal part of this restoration?

52. So beautiful to come back to this blog and know so well the feeling you describe , there is a purity and an innocence that is just divine.

53. I remember sitting on the tube in London one day, looking around at everyone and seeing past the external appearance to each persons essence, which was the same divine light in every single one. It was an incredible moment which has stayed with me, so when I forget and look at others through the eyes of separation and individualism, this marker pulls me back to the divine equality I felt then.

    1. A similar thing happened to me while on the tube. As I sat there, I felt as though I was sitting with my brothers and sisters as if I knew every single one of them, and in that moment there were no strangers. I remember feeling as though the guy sitting next to me was as familiar to me as a well-loved brother or cousin – that day gave me a new marker.

       1. Imagine how different our world would be if we lived this awareness.

54. A gorgeous reflection of true interconnectedness that we all come from and also that we are also just like the stars that scatter the universal sky because they too are made of particles just like us. Everything is universally connected and that honesty is reflected in all that we see and feel constantly.

55. It is pretty incredible to realise the union we are all part of, we are part of a whole that is showing us that we are all the same. It is beautiful to feel this, and see this confirmation of truth.

56. Isn’t it funny how we can hear something again and again and understand it on a certain level, but until we experience it and embody it we don’t truly have an understanding of it. The difference between knowing it and living it is vast.

57. Great sharing Pinky, reminding us that it always starts with us, inside out. Thank you.

58. It is a deep celebration when such love is felt. We each have accumulated many hurts in living life. Hurts that often lie as barriers to the love described here, when it is experienced, our hurts no longer rule our life, our love speaks louder.

59. ‘What if we just saw people through the way we felt with them, not with our eyes’ – We would certainly live in a very different world. Before we open our mouths to speak to someone for the first time, we often do a full head to toe check, outfit assessment (particularly women!) and list off everything we know about that person in our heads, and then what we say is BASED on this prejudgement instead of being open regardless and seeing where the conversation naturally goes to.

60. On one level it makes sense that we are all one and the same, we can logically say that everybody, while slightly varied is made up of the same stuff. Even on a particle level we share the same atoms and yet we don’t live like this with each other let alone ourselves. The more I connect to and claim that the love I can feel in my inner-most, in my inner-heart the more I feel this in others and can say ‘hey! That’s me too!’ And then I do feel we are one and the same.

61. Knowing that we are not separate from our whole bodies is very different from knowing in our heads, while the second we need to be reminded of, the first we ever and always know, and it’s lived.

62. It is very beautiful when we get to feel the fact that we are one, and that there are no differences. This makes a lot of sense when we consider that we are all vehicles of expression, bodies through which energy is passing. So we are all swimming around in an ocean of energy with only two choices. The choice that confirms we are all the same and come from the one source of love or the choice to be different and act against that oneness.

63. Gorgeous to feel the reflection of you and your friend and how you truly embodied the knowing that we are all the same. I love the idea of us all being part of the great jigsaw of humanity where ever piece is needed for the overall picture.

64. We accept that people can look different in a variety of clothing and never question that that changes the essence of who they are. I love how you point out that the superficial differences in our outward appearance are the same but can mislead our eyes to view someone differently whereas what truly serves is to connect with the essence of the other person and let go of what may separate us.

65. Essence first – before appearance or behaviour and thus before judgement can enter – what a glorious and enlightened way to see others and for them to be seen.

66. Pinky, I fully agree with you that our world would be a completely different place when we allow ourselves to let go all of the images we hold on the fact that we have different bodies. We all have different bodies and origins, skin colors, hair, body shape, the place where we were born, you name it, but this will not say that we are also from different origins on the inside. The reality is though, that we currently are living this as can been seen in the waywardness our world is in today and our way out of this will be that we all come to this understanding, that although we all look and behave in a different way that we are all equally and from God on the inside. That awareness will make it possible for each and every one of us to connect to one another from that inner place instead of from the outer image, which actually is the unique reflection of that which live so equally in all of us.

67. Reading your blog I remember the way one of my friend feels when I see her and just smiled because I understand what it was I was feeling. A little slow but I got there in the end!

68. This is a lovely blog to re-read. We only have to truly know ourselves on the inside to know that everyone else is the same.

69. What our eyes can see is not always in line with what our heart feels. Therefore we must attune our senses to see with the eyes of the heart and not be fooled by anything that comes in to mask this.

70. We can often understand a concept on one level and not get it really, so we understand but we don’t fully feel it and hence don’t live it. I can feel here what you experienced was going to another level in actually feeling what your understanding truly mean and having an amazing lived reflection with your friend to show both of you this. How amazing is that and how awesome is life so that we are always shown what is going on and we are encouraged to grow into ourselves and express this in the world, and all these people around us show us, in how we do or don’t express with them. Life truly is wonderful.

71. Its easy to judge or dismiss another when there is no feeling of connection to them. I find the only way I can connect to others is when I have chosen to connect to myself. When that happens I have an understanding for myself which then means an understanding for others. When things are going wrong in my relationships, these days I know I have to look at how I am being with myself.

72. A beautiful blog to return to and appreciate the love that is allowed to be expressed when we surrender to our true nature.

73. “What if we just saw people through the way we felt with them, not with our eyes, but with our feelings? Then the beauty we see with our eyes would be an expansion of what is already felt, and a confirmation.” Well said Pinky. Feelings are a much better guide than using our eyes first. We are all the same under the skin – beautiful loving human beings in our essence.

74. There are indeed no levels and distinctions with Love – we are either expressing love or we are not. Love is absolute equality, unity and brotherhood and it is our call if we allow love in and express love forth.

75. There is so much to appreciate and celebrate with each other, if we expressed our love for another in this way I am sure all our relationships would be more harmonious and true.

76. Being appreciative of all the lovely things we feel in another and the way we come together to share our innocent childlike qualities, as you did with your friend, allows these qualities to be felt more expansively and deeply in the body and by staying with this rather than going in to what doesn’t work, which in truth is not us anyway, allows the relationship to broaden and shine and be a greater reflection to all others.

77. Recently I became aware of feeling a love towards another and at the same time I sensed their love towards me but I had to really feel within me where this love was coming from and if it was true love and not a false love coming from a hurt. I realised how I can be easily fooled if I do not read the situation and discern the quality in the reflection.

78. Connecting to others is such a joy and we often do not value it enough.

79. Oneness captured very simply, thanks Pinky, let’s keep this up and be open for it to deepen.

80. “How strange it is that we see beauty in others but fail to see that same beauty in ourselves too!” Learning to appreciate oneself is one of the greatest medicines we can give ourselves.

81. Isn’t this so beautiful! Whether it be with a friend, a colleague, a son, a daughter, your partner or even someone you don’t know such intimacy and oneness can be there. We so often seek such intimacy in a relationship and think we have found it when we have found ‘the one’ but it is not like this. We do not find such intimacy with just one person as this is a love that unifies us all and is something we can have with everyone.

82. I find that the more I genuinely appreciate myself and recognise the great qualities that I naturally bring the more I truly appreciate others as well. And it’s beautiful how we can support each other with this – by telling another the beauty that we see in them, really naming it for them, without any attachment but just as a true compliment.

83. Beautiful ‘I put my arm around my friend while we were walking together and, at the same time, she just snuggled into me like a little girl, just giggling, saying a gentle “hello”.’ How gorgeous to be so playful and feel the deep connection you shared.

84. The joy of connecting absolutely with another is so precious. Thank you Pinky.

85. “We are all part of a jigsaw puzzle called Humanity and this puzzle cannot be complete without every single piece being connected.” Learning to appreciate our own qualities and live in that constant appreciation allows us to embrace our own grandeness and that of others alike.

86. There is a such a sense of connectedness and togetherness when we allow ourselves to feel that we are all the same. It takes away comparison and judgement. It also brings up the fact that when we work together, truly together, and stop all this competition that quite literally anything is possible we only have to look to the Pyramids for proof of this as no modern machinery could build them. So it is not about advancing our skills but rather returning to who we truly are.

87. Beautiful Pinky. This is a depth of understanding that should be shared with every child in every school – and with every teacher and adult as well.

88. One of the things I love to do is to be in a big crowd or around loads of people and feel how we are all on the same path, all going in the same direction, we’re just simply choosing the speed we go at. We are all the same, just varying in the different degrees we accept that – I love feeling that.

89. When I first read this blog perhaps I did not want to fully hear what you are saying Pinky but I can now feel it on a whole deeper level. I have always wanted such connections with others my whole life since I felt separated from others at school. Of course this was also me pushing people away and that makes it even more humbling to feel.

90. There is so much more to life than just what we acknowledge what see with our eyes.

91. Thank you Pinky for sharing your Wisdom and experience with us. When we look within every one of us is so deeply loving, there is no difference between Souls! Having all come from love and therefore made from Love we most definitely are the one.

92. “Could it also be that we are taught to see only the physical differences and live in separation from everyone – and even from ourselves?” This is a great question Pinky and begs me to ask if we too see an image of ourselves on how we look and negate our own essence and the beauty we hold within. I have been exploring this myself and when I apply my makeup in the morning, I take a moment to really look into my eyes, it really brings a lovely moment of connection and confirms to me that our love really is reflected from within and our essence just shines through.

93. Amazingly wise sharing Pinky, when we only look at differences we are short sighted as to what is actually going on, as someone is very sensitive and could be experiencing many things on the inside but we are not aware because we are only looking at surface projections.

    1. True – and when we focus on the surface we fail to connect and receive the depth of understanding that is incessantly offered.

94. An awesome revelation that the love and joy we can see in others is also held within ourselves.

95. It is so true that we so often look with our eyes seeing only the differences between us, the differences that actually make us unique. We look and with our minds decide what we see, that we are different, not the same and from here we judge. Yet what if we were to look with eyes that are connected to our heart, going deeper within, looking underneath the surface so we instead are open to feel the quality of all that we see, not just noticing the parts of another but the ‘all’ of another? The more we are willing to go deeper, we will discover that who we are within, in essence, is no different from one to another. The uniqueness we bring is to be appreciated as it simply represents the unconditional expression of Love. Love never discriminates as it willingly flows through every open heart.

96. We are all the same on the inside but to truly feel this we must accept all of the layers that we have put on top to conceal this fact. The reason it can be difficult to love all equally is because we get caught up in seeing people as the layers, rather than what is underneath all that, the apple, the essence. To see we are all the same we have to be aware and willing to look at all the stuff we try to use to cover up that energetic fact.

    1. This is so true Sarah. The key here is to see God first before we see anything else. Meaning that, in order to release ourselves from the judgements we hold over others, we must first truly see the innate divinity of another before we then allow ourselves to see all that stands in the way of the expression of this essence.

       1. I agree but what this looks like in day to day living can vary greatly. Holding someone in who they are can be remembering that if they are hurt or angry, it is not at you but at the choices and steps they may have or have not taken.

97. Gorgeous to feel your surrender to the connection that is between us all. I have been surprised at times when I have felt this with people that I did not know that well previously but met in something that felt timeless.

98. So beautiful Pinky to feel this loving childlike connection with your friend. How wonderful to have that innocent childlike exchange that is in us all, if we would be open to sharing it more often.

99. In this world of comparison, the separation of culture, the perdition of competition, this simple truth has most definitely been lost, because it was truly understood, all of the above and more would be exposed in its ridiculousness, and we could start, as one unified race, doing what we are actually here to do.

100. Thank you Pinky your blog has reminded me this morning to be open and natural in all my dealings today.

101. What if we just saw people through the way we felt with them, not with our eyes, but with our feelings? Then the beauty we see with our eyes would be an expansion of what is already felt, and a confirmation. – wow what a game changing statement – to be able to knock out how we see people and focus on feel. Our feelings are very wise – they can give us a very strong sense of a person and where they are at well before any feelings come into it.

102. Humanity has known this basic truth for eons and yet the invisible divisions of race and creed and country still managed to divide us to the point of war… At some stage there is going to have to be a collective leap in consciousness… This is both crucial and essential

103. “How strange it is that we see beauty in others but fail to see that same beauty in ourselves too!” it is crazy how we don’t even stop to appreciate ourselves and the beauty we bring, but can easily see it in another. For me it is something I really need to do is to stop and appreciate my own beauty and essence.

104. Just like apples, we all come from an apple tree, different variety but we are all apples or reflections of the same essence. If we knew this to ‘ our core’ ha ha … we would have a deeper respect and equal love for our brothers, in fact no separation for we are all the same particles.

105. What a beautiful refection of your/our equalness.

106. We are all equal in our essence and when we start to feel life rather than look at life, we can also feel that we can be connected on a level of abuse as well, which is not pretty or pleasant, but at the same time this is an introduced way of being and not who we truly are. When we feel life we get to feel that whatever we are feeling, others are also feeling. We are never not connected regardless of how much we may pretend.

107. I love how you write that we are all the same as a fact Pinky. In all its simplicity that is we are all the same. No matter how many layers we pull off… in fact the more we do the more apparent it becomes.

108. We are born into a world that champions individualism and being unique and different and yet does so at the expense of embracing what makes us the same. This is a beautiful sharing to remind us of what is possible between us when we see past the surface and feel the truth with our hearts.

109. Appreciation of ourselves and others, understanding brotherhood and how we are each an essential piece, and knowing all we see around us in others is a reflection, not just of ourselves but of the love we come from, would definitely transform humanity.

110. Too cute Pinky… underneath it all its the same yummy centre that we share. That divine spark that is our gift from God and we get to walk with every day if we but choose to see it.

111. So beautiful Pinky to share the joy and playfulness when feeling the oneness held within our essence that we are all the same in love.

112. As you’ve rightly shared, this is how our world can change Pinky. Recognise the truth in ourselves, and in another, and we can do no harm.
     Living this truth takes mastery, the likes of which Serge Benhayon inspires us all like no other I know, for this is the quality I know him to live 24/7, i.e. that we are all inherently the same.

113. This needs to be broadcast across our globe Pinky: “…outer differences are just like different clothes on a person”
     How precious, and indeed revelatory to feel this not just as ‘words’, but to the bond with your friend. Once such an inner-knowing is so profoundly had, it is our forever marker – if we are willing, there to redefine every single relationship we have in life.

114. The innate knowing that we are all one and the same is deeply powerful—but why is our world not living this way? Why even in our every day life there are so many moments when we judge another or don’t want another to sit with us? To return to the truth deep in our hearts, is an every day choice to walk in the direction of what we know, when obstacles come up just express what we feel in joy and light heartedness, but keep walking in the truth that we know.

115. Pinky thank you. This will unify humanity, as in essence we already are.

116. Pingback: Being Chinese – Being True to My Self – The Truth about Serge Benhayon

117. Connecting to our inner divinity, connects us to every other human being.

118. ‘We are All One and the Same’ this is the central message to share with humanity as it continues to tear itself apart, living in the ignorance and pain of separation, not just from each other (individual, race, country) but from God’.

119. It is so important to all of us to come to the understanding that “We are all part of a jigsaw puzzle called Humanity and this puzzle cannot be complete without every single piece being connected.” As that is why we are here on earth, to find out that what life is actually about, that our life is not about trying to make it work and to continuously improve our physical lives, but that we are far more than that, part of a bigger whole and in that equal to one another and in constant connection.

120. The reflection that you speak of Pinky is around us everywhere both in interactions with others and globally in our world. God communicates with us all the time and when we allow the time and space to read these communications we can see that our way in life is held for us in love. Feeling and reading what is there and being the reflection we want to be for self and others, changes the world bit by bit. Thanks for sharing your joy and playfulness, it is beautiful.

121. “How strange it is that we see beauty in others but fail to see that same beauty in ourselves too!” And yet perhaps the reason we can see that beauty in others is because we do really know and recognise that same beauty within ourselves but are choosing not to acknowledge it.

122. When we drop into our hearts there is no thoughts, this is where we hold everybody.

123. “What if we just saw people through the way we felt with them, not with our eyes, but with our feelings? ” so often I can make rash decisions based on appearance, overriding the sweetness and love I feel for a person, this is simply a form of protection, not letting people in. As soon as I open my heart and let people in all I can feel is absolute love for them, everything else just drops away because it wasn’t love in the first place.

124. That we are truly the same on the inside goes far beyond skin and culture, it goes to the heart of humanity, which one day we all will feel that there is no separation

125. I agree Pinky – when the focus becomes the inner instead of on the outer then it’s easy to see that we are all one and the same and that the outer differences are just that, outer differences, hence the importance to keep on building a loving connection with ourselves for that will be what ends all the separative thoughts and manners we see in the world. So world peace can only be achieved when there is true peace on the inside (inside all of us as human beings).

126. ‘We are All One & the Same on the Inside’ beautifully expressed Pinky, and very apt with the European Countries not being able to agree on the number of migrants they will accept, judging people on where they come from and not who they are is both separative and loveless.

127. Beautiful blog Pinky. Great question “What if we just saw people through the way we felt with them, not with our eyes, but with our feelings? Then the beauty we see with our eyes would be an expansion of what is already felt, and a confirmation.” The magic of knowing we are all one can only be felt when we are willing to let go of our hurts and the beliefs we have about ourselves and the world as a result of them. I know for me when I let go of self-criticism self-loathing and judgement of myself this frees me to re-connect with my true self and feel the love that I am, and feel and connect with others on the same level feeling the depth of connection from my inner heart to their inner heart. In this connection the outer shell our bodies shape forms looks are irrelevant in this moment. The more I deepen my love for myself these moments of true brotherhood grow and expand.

128. With all the violence that is going on in the world, every single day, it just shows that we have lost touch with this equalness. We are actually constantly harming ourselves, thinking it is ‘the other’, but then there is no such thing as ‘the other’, as there is only one.

129. Pinky, this is such a relevant blog you have shared in light of recent events and the way the world is looking more and more divided based on race and culture. But the thing is, race and culture are man-made – designed purely to separate us rather than to say ‘underneath we are all the same’. So it is our responsibility to live in a way where we know and honour in our bodies that we are all the same, and by that reflection, we allow others to feel this too.

130. When we truly connect with another, all the differences dissolve before our eyes and we meet that equal essence. We may not live like this all of the time however it is inspiring to realise this is very possible.

     1. A great point you highlight Victoria, to truly connect with another is a beautiful experience.

131. Lovely to read this blog again this morning Pinky. “What if we just saw people through the way we felt with them, not with our eyes, but with our feelings?” I had an experience of just this yesterday and it really allowed me to truly ‘see’ the other and appreciate how different we may appear but in essence not.

132. I love reflections in nature and yesterday while walking down my driveway a lovely cluster of nasturtium leaves caught my eye. What I loved was they looked like they were all embracing each other not encroaching on each other’s space but a lovely warm hug. Each leaf was also different in its appearance and yet they were still essentially all the same. Beautiful and bound together by the love of God.

133. The beauty, playfulness and joy we feel in those around us are gifts reflecting back to us, so that we get to feel and understand that what we see/feel is either the possibility of expressing more of our own beauty, playfulness and joy, or it is a confirmation of our already expressing this into the world around us.

134. When we feel as one, what a magic to experience and yet so natural. When our steps starts to equal, a joy can be felt, like your playfulness, your connection with the universe is opening up and you are walking as one but never on your own.

135. I saw a small video clip the other day where a group of people of different nationalities and colour were asked to undertake a DNA test to see what their origins were. Several expressed national and racial bias however when the results came in it was show that these people were made up of many nationalities and that some who were white found they had black ancestry and those who were ‘Jewish in fact had Muslim ancestry. There was initial shock for some but then a lovely dawning realisation that there is no separation and that we are “all One and the same on the inside”.

     1. I saw that video also Jeanette and it was touching to see how the separative beliefs and ideas about who we are have no basis in truth, and were beautifully exposed.

136. What we see in others is often very much a reflection of how we are with ourselves. If we are disconnected and in separation to our true selves then we will be disconnected to others and of course if we are connected to and know ourselves we will know and be connected to others too.

     1. To add to my comment, of course whilst we are all of the same essence we clearly don’t all act or express in the same quality. So seeing someone as equal does not mean that we see all of our expressions and actions as coming from the same place.

137. I love what is presented that we are all equal – that perhaps physically there are differences – but our essence is equal. This took me some time to get my head around – but the truth was I know this already in my body.
     And to start to really feel that has meant that there is much less judgement and comparison that I feel towards others and also myself. To bring it back to the simplicity that we are the same, is very powerful and healing.

138. When we say we are all one and the same, the question I have is – then who is that. Is it the normal that we live with day to day? The normal that is creating the world to be the way it is?… which is let’s face it is pretty shocking. Or is it something special, divine, untouched that we merely don’t connect with, but could light up the world.

139. It’s lovely to hear a story of adults allowing the child-like playfulness in their relationships, playing with and as kids, there wasn’t huge differences between people…

140. It is beautiful when we become aware that all we live and experience in our lives is a reflection of what is within us – sometimes we don’t want to know this or claim the truth that it is but when we eventually do, it is the most amazing gift. Thanks Pinky for sharing.

141. Isn’t that beautiful how we are all reflections and that with every encounter, some magic can happen!

142. Allowing ourselves the joy and honesty of being open to all moments leaves space for all to see and feel our hearts. We are all one and the same. Thank you Pinky for sharing the beauty of reflections, so playfully.

143. ‘..we can either choose to see only these differences and many more, and thus see what our eyes are taught to see and only what our eyes see, or we can choose to see that there could be another way to see things…’

     This opens up the possibility of going beyond the prejudice of only paying attention to what our eyes tell us: what we’ve been taught to see. When I first came across this proposal that there is more than the eye can see I was dubious. But then I gave myself permission to feel and not be distracted by what was on the surface but see beyond that. It is magical to see people’s faces change. I see this with myself – when I am self-critical I look ugly, when I am appreciating myself my inner beauty glows. I know I am only seeing the very beginning of what there is to see and feel.

144. Deeply appreciating the people in our lives can extend to every person we meet. From seeing the purpose of having that particular cab driver, to that particular boss or colleague. I find that when ever I can see the purpose of a relationship by seeing what we have to learn from and can offer each other, then everything makes sense and I am able to really let go and truly enjoy the relationship, however brief or long it may be.

145. When I was 21 I fell in love and got very confused. I thought I had to adore him and it was his job to love me, not mine. But I felt so much love for myself this threw me. That we are all one and the same makes sense of this. What’s gorgeous to appreciate is that this experience isn’t confined to one particular person but, if we develop this in ourselves, this can be felt with others. Very inspiring.

146. I love reading this, ‘How different would it be if we lived in a world of feeling connected to others and sharing love and harmony; a world where we enjoy each other’s presence and reflections, and are inspired by each other?’ because it is actually possible. It’s not a pipe dream. It requires me to work at it – to see every irritation as a blessing because someone’s showing me something I need to heal; to drop protection if I feel threatened; to drop comparison, be honest about my choices and appreciate I could choose the beauty of living my own beauty.

147. It is indeed beautiful to live in this equal connection with on another Pinky, as what you say there can not be “any hatred, comparison, jealousy, physical or verbal violence, conflicts or even war, if we chose to feel and see that the beauty in others lives in us too.” While I am aware that I am not always living like this I can feel that his is the way we all will live one day all together, like in heaven on earth and that way of living wil take away all atrocities and abusive acts to one another we are currently facing in our nowadays societies.

148. Pingback: What is Connection? – The Truth about Serge Benhayon

149. It is glorious to feel the connection, when we choose to let go of our individuality and see that we are all equal. This being individual is a big thing to break, and see that it is not true, and that it is beautitul to be with others, and not feel competition and comparison. Because it is not needed when we choose to feel into our inner heart and see that each one of us is the same.

150. “We were physically two, but walking as one, enjoying and being inspired by each other.” I experienced walking with another as two but with one energy recently at a Universal Medicine retreat and it is profound. We can live with so much harmony and oneness if we just allow ourselves to.

151. When we are with people, it is possible to break down all barriers and external protections and really know someone from our heart. This oneness is what allows us to see the potential between two people and the joy is endless.

152. Love the joy and playfulness in this blog and what is available to all of us in all relationships – the choice is ours to feel the essence of another and to connect to this rather than allow what we see and then allow reaction to govern how we are with them

153. “How different would it be if we lived in a world of feeling connected to others and sharing love and harmony; a world where we enjoy each other’s presence and reflections, and are inspired by each other?”
     What a wonderful harmonious world it would be; one day Pinky through the teachings of Serge Benhayon and the powerful movement of many people who are aware and connect we will live in a world where brotherhood is lived.

154. When we see something that we love in others, we are seeing it because they are also reflecting what we are, if we see something beautiful, it is definitely a confirmation of what is inside us also.

155. Allowing ourselves to see the beauty in ourselves and in others on a daily basis is a beautiful and important ritual to develop. It helps to build appreciation and when we appreciate there is so much more vitality and joy.

     1. I second that Elizabeth, appreciation has been key to deepening the relationships with myself and with everyone around me. It is truly beautiful how different my life feels since building appreciation everyday, and how the more I appreciate the more I see to appreciate – it is endless.

156. ‘We are all one and the same on the inside’ is a widely used saying, but not widely practiced or truly understood.

157. ‘How different would it be if we lived in a world of feeling connected to others and sharing love and harmony; a world where we enjoy each other’s presence and reflections, and are inspired by each other?’ Knowing we are all one and the same…

158. I remember when I was about 16 getting on a train once which was very full. I struggled in the dark to find a spare seat but someone kindly moved over and made room for me. Shortly after, the conductor came and took me to another part of the train – to another seat. I became aware that the part of the train I sat in had been reserved for people of a particular culture and nationality. I still remember now how much I appreciated and felt supported by those that made room for me and then later the shock, judgment and discomfort I felt at having sat amongst people that I saw as different. It is a powerful reminder of how we allow different skin colouring, cultures, lifestyle, religious beliefs etc to divide us. On this night I felt what it was like to be free of all these old beliefs, ideals and Images that set us apart and experienced the openness, caring and sharing of others that were just like me.

159. Reading your blog Pinky reminded me of the many moments I have felt and experienced this deep appreciation for another, but when I want to communicate this to them the words do not match up with how I am feeling.

160. This highlights for me a few points. As we expand and express the love we are and start to claim it, we see it is others and they see it in us. However if not practiced or taught to express that love it won’t be expressed but that doesn’t mean that it hasn’t been registered. This I have experienced over the years of knowing Serge Benhayon, his family and many others. The love that they express has on some level been registered, only my choices to hold back have created a delay in expressing equal to them. With this understanding how can we then blame or expect anyone to express our love back to us? We can’t if the understanding that everyone can and does make choices.

161. Lovely blog Pinky, stripped away of all out outer casings reveals how in essence we are all the same.

162. I love this Elizabeth, it points out the fact that to be connected to the all, we first need to let the all in, and it is us that hold the key to our own locked doors.

163. Beautiful blog Pinky, when we are connected to ourselves we see the connection between us all.

164. Absolutely Brendan, seeing another for their essence and not their behaviour is the ultimate loving support we can offer.

165. I agree Fumiyo, it feels to me a relearning to trust in our bodies and the truth that they feel. Our eyes can defiantly be deceiving but our bodies are the marker of truth.

166. By holding ourselves equal to all, we get to see what shines in another shines in us too.

     1. Beautifully said Kim, I caught myself yesterday making myself less to a friend, it was great because they called it out to me and I could see how I can still play the game of being less at times and how that choice to be less confirms to everyone around me that it is ok to play small. When we truly hold ourselves equal the greatness we see and appreciate in another is equally in us too.

        1. Exactly Anna, in holding ourselves equal we make an offering to another to see all the greatness they are, reflecting from us.

167. I loved reading your blog Pinky, we are far more than we physically appear to be on the outside, and when we look inside we are all the same.

168. We could say this or think this every time a compliment is exchanged. What you see in me is in you too. It’s a beautiful thing to realise.

     1. Yes Amanda, how can we appreciate a quality in another if we do not equally have that same quality within us? It may be we are not expressing it in full but none the less it is there and something to accept and appreciate.

     2. So true Amanda, appreciation is beautiful.

169. This line stood out to me today –”Could it be that we recognize all the love, joy and playfulness we see in others, we just don’t acknowledge that we also have them in us too?” The fact is that if it were not within us first we would not be able to see it in another.

170. Nicole, I alway cringe when I see the way adults talk to children, why the need for the baby speak, I wonder how that got hardwired into us, that raising into a squeaky voice is gong to make a child feel more at ease, surely the opposite is the case. Adults are no more intelligent than children, that is the illusion we live in, we are all equal and only talking to all with equalness is acceptable, regardless of whether we believe we are somehow smarter.

171. “How different would it be if we lived in a world of feeling connected to others and sharing love and harmony; a world where we enjoy each other’s presence and reflections, and are inspired by each other? “- so true Pinky. At present we are so far away from that in the world, however we can each make a difference by being our true selves and opening our heart to letting others without judging them according to gender, skin colour, social status, religion and culture.

172. Being aware is reality. It is a most normal everyday way to experience life that every human being has the power to do.

173. Thank you Brendan. This is allowing me a deeper commitment to deepen my connection with myself to feel a stronger foundation from which to live as I know that as I do this I react a lot less.

174. The magic that is the divine experience in the Human condition, can only open us up to the truth of who we are, equal Sons of God, all of us. Thanks to Serge Benhayon for showing us the way.

175. What an inspirational experience and sharing with your friend. I agree with many that if this experience happened first before we returned to what we see on the outside , our experience would be very much the same. Lovely Pinky!

176. Pinky, I loved the way you expressed and claimed how we are indeed all the same on the inside, from your beauty- full, magical lived experience with your friend.

177. Love the apple analogy Pinky.

178. Humanity is hungry for this connection, with each other and with ourselves, and until this connection is felt , will do anything to fill the gaping hole that is laid bare.

179. Thank you for sharing Pinky, it is indeed a great thing to get to feel, that inside there are no differnces, we are all one and the same. It is a Joy to feel and see this in each other, as that is our core we need to be constantly reminded of.

180. ‘We were physically two, but walking as one, enjoying and being inspired by each other. It was like looking at your own reflection in a mirror and falling in love. Wow! What a reflection that was!’ So beautiful to read Pinky and to feel in our bodies what it means to be one is very empowering and let us know the true purpose of life.

181. It is a great feeling when we get to remember and feel that truly we are all the same and all equal. I recently did an assignment on diversity and in reading through the materials people came to the conclusion ‘there is no normal’, yet on some unloving level there is still a consciousness and even supremacy of what normal is. This is what we need to break and heal.

182. “Would there be any hatred, comparison, jealousy, physical or verbal violence, conflicts or even war, if we chose to feel and see that the beauty in others lives in us too?”, definitely not as there would no room for this. When love is openly shared, there is no room for anything besides joy.

     1. Absolutely Amita, the more I have developed acceptance, understanding, appreciation and love for myself, I equally and very easily feel that in others. But if I choose to be in reaction, anger, frustration, all I see out in the world and in others are those traits. We do get back what we put out. So loving openly feels very true.

        1. This is my experience also Raegan, life is a great mirror reflecting back how we are are with ourselves and others, very simple really isn’t it?

183. I can’t always do that Brendan, especially when the behaviour is as you say, abusive or vile, however I have been able to feel this truly on many occasions and I have built up a marker of how wonderful it feels to see abusive behaviour but to be able to still connect to the essence of the person and know that we are one and that we come from the same source. It really does leave one in a much better state than choosing to react to what we see. I am forever trying to deepen and work on this as living from a life of reaction is draining to one’s body and does not evolve oneself or others around them. Being a Secondary School Teacher I get to practice this often and it really is amazing when you don’t react and stay connected to that person.

184. So true Matthew, it is really so very simple when you put it like that

185. Thanks Alexander, yes when I connect to the fact that we are all the same in essence the all judgments and comparisons drop away.

186. when we can really feel deeply ourselves and the true beauty of us then we can feel the true connections with others. there are times too when ive felt the joy and harmony of just being with someone is beyond words

187. Pinky I love this, it is gorgeous to read. Reflecting real love to each other is what it’s all about!

188. How beautiful to read of this playful and loving interaction, and to feel a part of this loving exchange and recognition… thank you Pinky

189. Being connected to ourselves allows openness to ensue in all connections we have. We also receive all with that same openness and allow our bodies to work in connection with what our eyes see.

190. I am currently dealing with a very testy situation so I really appreciate your wise words. It is amazing how just what we need to hear comes at the right time!

191. I agree nicolesjardin and it doesn’t stop there – the same applies to parents, siblings, couples, workmates, etc. Unfortunately, there is a widespread distorted perception of our various roles in life – a huge trap that ensnares most of mankind.

     1. Tamara I agree, sometimes we are so blind to it we cannot see what is happening. Often my family has pulled me up in how I communicate with them, they say I would not speak in that manner to my staff, why do I to them. They definitely have a point and this has helped me take more responsibility.

192. I agree Benkt – a wonderful reminder to let the eyes ‘receive’ in full rather than to look at the image before us without any real connection to what we are seeing.

     1. There is so much that can be read and felt by connecting to someone’s eyes and receiving the true message.

     2. And I can say, now and then I need such a reminder Tamara and Benkt that it is about ‘receiving’ what my eyes see instead of wanting to see everything that caught my eye sas this way of looking ‘outside’ is very much a distraction for what truly is going on.

193. I really enjoyed re-visiting your blog Pinky as it gave me yet another opportunity to ponder on “How strange it is that we see beauty in others but fail to see that same beauty in ourselves too!…………………….. Would there be any hatred, comparison, jealousy, physical or verbal violence, conflicts or even war, if we chose to feel and see that the beauty in others lives in us too?”
     We sure have strayed a long way from the truth of beauty.

194. so sweet!

195. Very true, Fumiyo Egashira, as I am very very myopic, this circumstance has always teached me to not just rely on my eyes, but on the truth of what I feel. Even, when I didn’t understand this teaching of my myopic for a long time, I am getting now to a much deeper understanding, as I am re-learning to be aware of every energy I feel. A seemingly weakness refers to a great strength.

196. Allowing to feel and express our own innate beauty, resonates to the beauty of everyone else. So understanding and letting go of our hurts is an important step getting out of the way the judgement and protection, to then live, what is naturally there to be lived. Such a beauty in this principle.

     1. I have found if I stop and ask myself what have I done to contribute to the drama or situation and what was the image I was holding onto if I am finding myself feeling hurt – Sometimes it takes a little while as was very used to holding onto the hurt and blaming others, but it is so effective.

197. A beautiful sharing Pinky, feels like a prayer to me and a sharing to deeply ponder on; or more, to deeply let in and open up for the fact of our beauty and oneness and for the reflections we are for each other. And so true, Pinky, how important is it, to see, accept, expand and love this beauty in oneself in the same way, as it is easy to appreciate within others.

198. I am equally grateful to you Pinky for your gorgeous and divine reflection.
     Thank you for the gentle reminder that we are all one and the same; it is only our hurts that separate us.

199. Nationalism, culturalism, racism, religion, social status. There are so many banners to hide behind behind and with which we can identify ourselves. All of these offer a semblance of belonging, to quench the deep need in us for connection. But every single one of these ideals is false, for the simple reason that in offering a sense of belonging, it does so at the exclusion of everyone else. In other words, they foster separation, not between individuals per say, but rather between groups of individuals. And that is a very dangerous thing. Without any of these idealisms, there could be no war, for there would be no fundamental point of difference to justify one’s stance – other than that of greed and power – and that would then easily be exposed for what it is.

200. It is amazing to really feel how we are all from the same love and have the same love within us. I have felt this too. It’s like receiving beautiful reflections from everyone and feeling at home with all of them.

201. I feel inspired to feel people as well lovely Elizabeth. For me to let always my eyes lead the way became a bit “boring” as I could feel that with doing so I was always attracted to the “same kind” of people. Now I met a whole bunch of people which is very inspiring for me and helped me to open myself up more and more.

     1. It feels great when our eyes donot lead the way, I agree ester it opens us up to meet people we normally wouldn’t have met or said no to just by viewing over them instead of truly seeing/feeling who they are.

202. This is a great blog – we feel so much allowing ourselves to connect and trust this is what gets in the way of tapping into how amazing we really are.

203. “What if we just saw people through the way we felt with them, not with our eyes, but with our feelings? Then the beauty we see with our eyes would be an expansion of what is already felt, and a confirmation.” I love this one Pinky and it shares the true depth we can go to when we don’t limit ourselves with what our eyes see. Appreciating and confirming all is a whole body experience.

204. When will the rest of mankind wake up and realise we are the same inside and one brotherhood. By bombing or shooting anyone you are killing your brothers. Stop the killing, the greed and the religious fanaticism. It’s getting us nowhere.

205. Yes Pinky, great blog. We are all very much the same on the inside, but unfortunately this is not what many countries believe or feel. There has recently been some atrocities occur in Paris, awful terrorist attack. It has gotten global media attention. On the same day there was a massacre in Kenya, 143 school students were gunned down. This did not even make the news. We ‘are’ all the same, just a shame that the world is not yet ready to feel this is the case.

206. Thank you Pinky for the lovely reminder of the preciousness and playfulness that we are and the reflection that we bring to all.

207. Pinky that is so true – if we open up our hearts and let people in than there is no difference at all and everything is also very simple and clear.

208. True inspiration Elizabeth, I know that often what I see influences what I feel, when it should be the other way round!

209. When we have an experience that challenges our normal perception of life, we realise how limited our senses are and how much they are unable to capture. Such occasions teach us that our reliance on them to capture ‘reality’ leaves us with a pretty limited knowing of what is truly real.

210. Pinky we are indeed part of the “jigsaw puzzle called Humanity”. Seen from this perspective each person is needed, each one brings his or her essence. If one piece is missing the puzzle cannot be completed. So let’s not leave anyone behind. When we express we do so from the love we know we are, which includes everyone.

     1. Beautiful Patricia, so true

211. I say ‘Yes’ absolutely “Could it be this simple? If we went with how the other person felt in their true essence, then the outer differences…” If we consider what we are made up of, physiologically and within our natural essence and our feeling to love and be loved, the skin and clothes and all the material and cultural paraphernalia that we attach to ourselves are all a very thin superficial layer. We all have a choice to connect on a deeper level with everyone we meet.

212. Very beautiful Pinky ‘ How different would it be if we lived in a world of feeling connected to others and sharing love and harmony; a world where we enjoy each other’s presence and reflections, and are inspired by each other? This frees us of any comparison to another and allows us just to be in acceptance and appreciation, knowing we are the same. We are all part of a jigsaw puzzle called Humanity and this puzzle cannot be complete without every single piece being connected.’

213. The more we appreciate ourselves the more we feel the amazingness in other people who in turn see it in us. This ongoing reflection, like a series of mirrors, deepens and sweeps up those around us if we surrender to it.

214. ‘How strange it is that we see beauty in others but fail to see that same beauty in ourselves too!’ How true, Pinky, how often do we fall for comparison, instead being inspired of the reflection the other person is giving to us. And as you write, as we are all one on the inside it is just the reflection which can inspire us, whereas if we go into comparison we give our power away.

215. So true Elizabeth. When we let go of the protection and open our hearts love is abundant.

216. What a lovely experience of true connection and a shared moment. I love when something that you are aware of or have some concept about becomes real, tangible and embodied. Thank you for sharing the fact that we are all one Pinky.

217. Comparison can be placed at the foot of every bad choice we have ever made. Choosing love has nothing to compare its self with… other then its self.

218. Magical Pinky. In your words “We were physically two, but walking as one” – I just melted at this point feeling that if we all walked in this way (through life) ‘together’ as one – Wow the whole dynamics of this world as we know it would be so different – profoundly so.

219. “We can either choose to see only these differences and many more, and thus see what our eyes are taught to see and only what our eyes see, or we can choose to see that there could be another way to see things – a way that is without the need of relying solely on what our eyes see!” The choice is always ours; always. Thank you Pinky for highlighting that we have a choice to see with our eyes or to see with our hearts, far beyond what our eyes see. I also love the appreciation, you highlighted, for ourselves and for others.

220. “It was like looking at your own reflection in a mirror and falling in love.” I love this sentence Pinky. Most of us have grown up being told that if we love ourselves too much we’re vain or narcissistic or full of ourselves. However, this is a deliberate bastardisation of the truth that denies us the reflections of beauty that are all around us everyday. When we truly offer ourselves love and appreciation we cannot but appreciate the enormous beauty in the world and others.

     1. Thanks Stevie, when we are told that loving ourselves is being ‘up ourselves’ stops us from seeing the love we are. When I appreciate myself I feel an awakening of my connection and an expansion out.

221. The issues of the world dissolve into nothing when the understanding that we are all One, from one source, our bodies’ are all made up of the same universal particles that keep going around around, sometimes in a man’s body in Africa, sometimes in a woman’s body in Saudia Arabia. If humanity – all people – understood this, knew this as irrevocable truth, how on earth could you hate someone?

222. Imagine the day when we can all walk down the street and be a crystal clear reflection of heaven, no matter what is before us – there is such a great equality inside someone who does not shut down or change depending on the different person in front of them.

     1. Beautifully said Meg. This equality feels so graceful and allowing.

223. This is such a lovely blog to read, I can feel that indeed everyone is the same on the inside, and when I would truly connect to this, the way I am with people will be completely different to how I am now.

224. What a glorious experience Pinky to treasure, and a great reminder to all of us of the oneness of all.

225. Yes Pinky “it is strange that we see beauty in others but fail to see that same beauty in ourselves”. Thank you for this timely reminder of how absolutely gorgeous I am !

226. That is very special Donna – to be with someone and to be aware of your own body and the tension and protective layers. It takes a little while to develop such a skill, so familiar we are to losing ourselves in the moment we are with other people. But there is so much for everyone to gain in doing this. We do not know that we have locked our inner gates against people if we do know we even have gates! How beautiful it is to undo the lock and open the gates, even though it is a little fearful at first…..

227. We often fail to see that the same beauty we see in others is present in ourselves also. The importance of appreciation, both for others and for ourselves, can never be underestimated.

     1. Its all part of how we similarly care for others more than we care for ourselves, and yet when we allow true equality, everyone benefits, win win.

228. What I feel is that friendship is important, in that there are people we do feel closer to, naturally. It has become a problem for most of us is that cut others out, see them as less important and not impacted by our choices. This is where we have made a mess of friendship, by making it an imbalanced favouritism that leaves people out.

     1. Yes very well said… giving favour and seeing others as less important is a dead giveaway that we have lost our way when it comes to friendship, and yet that would be the criteria most consider to constitute a ‘good friend’, or ‘family’ for that matter. It’s very freeing to discover that love has no such boundaries as it’s an emanation, so cannot favour any one more than another.

229. What a great blog Pinky , it is felt in every word that you have written the glorious all encompassing love you have in your body.

230. Feeling ‘true love’ from another gathers a momentum – so inspiring and so powerful in itself. It sets the seed to further that inspiration (I feel) if based on love, to then share and reflect this to another. A true reflection of the love and beauty within us all with no visual outside influence – all there inside just waiting to emanate out to the world.
     An inspirational sharing Pinky.

231. This is lovely Pinky, I want to experiment with how it feels, ‘What if we just saw people through the way we felt with them, not with our eyes, but with our feelings? Then the beauty we see with our eyes would be an expansion of what is already felt, and a confirmation.’

232. I love this question: “What if we just saw people through the way we felt with them, not with our eyes, but with our feelings?” Then I would pay more attention to the feeling I have with people, which tends to be that they are deep down lovely and the same as me. And when at times I feel an expression from them contrary to what I have already felt them to be, I can have a better chance of understanding that the person is choosing something alien to their true self. It is like knowing and seeing that everyone is beautiful, but they may sometimes choose to pull ugly faces.

233. Agree Pinky it is indeed strange “that we see beauty in others but fail to see that same beauty in ourselves too!” Most people from young are recognised for what they do not who they are – our inner beauty goes unrecognised until it is buried under all the doing and we no longer see it in ourselves. How important then is appreciation – appreciation for others but before that, appreciation for our own inner beauty that we have long ignored or denied?

     1. I love your powerful command Anne. It is so true I observed it as well that “Most people from young are recognised for what they do, not who they are – our inner beauty goes unrecognised until it is buried under all the doing and we no longer see it in ourselves.” Therefore it is so much needed to get a loving reminder to choose more the appreciation than to belittle ourselves. Thank you for doing so!

234. We need to acknowledge and appreciate those moments that we all have that confirm we are all together and one with each other. No matter who you are or what your beliefs, the confirmation is always there.

     1. So true Gail, the confirmation is always there in the most beautiful and simple ways. So important to appreciate those moments.

235. Pinky, I love this comment , ‘What if we just saw people through the way we felt with them, not with our eyes, but with our feelings? Then the beauty we see with our eyes would be an expansion of what is already felt, and a confirmation.’
     Yes, I have been seeing people now from feeling for a long while now, but not realising this is now a completely different way from how I used to be.
     I used to see everything with my mind.This doesn’t make sense as I write this. It is like my mind was a filter or guard through which ‘IT” would judge, compare, assess, as a first point of contact . It was a barrier of suspicion, protection and mistrust. Now, since my ongoing unfoldment as a student of Universal Medicine, I sense people more openly, like I feel who they are underneath the layers..
     It has been said, that if you can feel it in others, it is because you know it and feel it in yourself first.
     So this is a reflection to me of how much more I am connected to feeling my truth and beauty. My life is far more joyful now. I live with openness, acceptance, understanding , real self love and wonder every day. And it continues to grow.. as does my deep appreciation and love of others.
     Thank you deeply for this Pinky How wonderful we all are, if only we can feel it!

236. Appreciating ourselves as much as we appreciate others – that’s HUGE, and by huge I mean, hardly anyone appreciates themselves truly and deeply, yet a sprinkle of appreciation changes the whole landscape of life.

     1. Yes Meg, the more I truly appreciate me, the more I feel the love I am.

     2. I agree Meg, the more I appreciate myself, the more I allow others in, as I see all the beauty that I offer, and that it’s not mine to hold back.

        1. Yeah – I agree. Appreciating ourselves actually makes a big difference in our relationships, the more I appreciate myself the less I hold back from people, the more confident I feel, and I actually reckon I am an even lovelier person to know… the knock on effects of simply confirming who we are is huge.

        2. I love how you have expressed this Meg, so real. It’s not that you are even lovelier, it’s that you have finally discovered how lovely you are.

        3. ‘It’s not that you are even lovelier, it’s that you have finally discovered how lovely you are.’ Spot on you absolutely nailed it 🙂

237. It feels so joyful to read your sharing Pinky. Reading this sentence sums it up in a nutshell for me. “What if we just saw people through the way we felt with them, not with our eyes, but with our feelings. Then the beauty we see with our eyes would be an expansion of what is already felt, and a confirmation”. To have that confirmation with all who we meet would set the world on ‘fire’. Yes true brotherhood.

238. Pinky I was realising recently that this applies to everything in the way that even through some people may “look the part” their maybe behaviors, ways of doing things, that we judge them by in the same way we judge people by the number of tattoos they have. However regardless of what they look like or the way they may act inside we all have the same essence.

     1. The truth that we are all the same on the inside offers enormous understanding when applied to our daily living. This truth applied en masse could stop wars.

     2. Yes David, I love that our essence is love and not how we look or act.

239. Recently I became aware of the qualities I admire in another are actually qualities that already exist to some degree within myself.
     When I considered the love and appreciation I felt for Serge Benhayon and the qualities he processes I realised that I too possess these same qualities to some degree and its my appreciation and value of these qualities that allows me to so deeply appreciate them in another.
     In this we are one and the same.
     The depth to which we allow ourselves to feel and appreciate our shared divinity opens our hearts to feel our equality.

     1. That is interesting Nicole – that you can admire others for their qualities but actually you carry them too. Yes – we are one in the same – and we only differ by how we choose to express and how we appreciate who we truly are. With these come more love for ourselves and others equally – and it is the equality that unites us – knowing deeply that we are all the same and it is our choices that make us different. Understanding ourselves on a deeper level will only help us to appreciate who we truly are.

240. Beautiful Pinky,
     What a heart opener to feel the equality we all share…………..Brotherhood.

241. That raises an interesting point about friendship and its place in oneness and the fact that we are indeed all from the one source. We tend to think that our friends are the people with whom we are the most willing to surrender. But from what I have observed and experienced, we seem to use our friendships as a buffer against the world and as a source of protection – and not the deep evolutionary call to be and live as one.
     So what is friendship then? Is it a great comfort in which two or more people agree not to push each others buttons? Or is it the place where we learn the art and science of surrender…the surrender that we then offer to all other people?
     For if we are limiting the experience of being one to the ‘special’ ones in our life, I would suggest we are not surrendering to it at all. A watered down version of oneness is not oneness – it is a game we are playing to avoid letting go and becoming the magnificence we truly are.

     1. Yes agreed absolutely Rachel… I particularly like you point about the place friendship has in providing a ‘buffer against the world’… this is so true. With oneness as the measure of truth, friendship doesn’t rate.

242. That is a beautiful concluding line Jeannette and a great offering to people who have been lead to believe that surrendering to oneness means a loss of self and a reduction or invalidation of who they are.
     Nothing could be further from the truth. The experience of true unity and oneness opens the door to an incomprehensible majesty inside of us. That majesty cannot even be dreamed of when we live in the not so “splendid isolation” fostered by the belief that we are not one and the same.

243. I love that point Shami, comparison makes us so incredibly human, when there’s so much more to us than that, it limits our perception, our understanding and the grandness we are from.

244. “What if we just saw people through the way we felt with them, not with our eyes, but with our feelings? Then the beauty we see with our eyes would be an expansion of what is already felt, and a confirmation.”- so true Pinky, and how wonderful would that be!
     Only pure love for each other- no judgement, no jealousy, no hatred, no wars.

245. When you look at it sensibly and lovingly, it is absolutely ridiculously absurd how humans behave in such a separate everyman for himself way. If we all worked together as the one that we are without even a hint of competition, every man woman and child on this planet would have every thing they need in abundance in order to evolve back to the stars from whence we came.

     1. kevmchardy, this is so true. Working together no-one would go wanting.

        I often experience the world as ‘everyman for himself’ but when it comes to me what do I choose? I don’t like this way of being and know I make a difference when choosing working together. But, being honest, there are times I do feel the pull to do something so I look good or something I can take the credit for which is at odds with what working together involves at that point.

        It’s great to explore these ‘gains’ because they turn out to be temporary or even non-existent. Any ‘gain’ involves me leaving me in exchange for supposed safety and reassurance outside of myself which even if it delivers some kind of safety it comes at the huge price of knowing I am harming all of humanity.

        This is definitely something I can continue to explore so I become more aware of deals I’m making for little me at the expense of all of who I am and who we all are.

     2. I totally agree kevmchardy and what a wonderful world it would be!

     3. I agree it is so ridiculous kevmchardy, when we feel how simple, loving and joyful life would be, it’s mind blowing we live any other way.

246. Pinky how lovely this sharing is, the truly magic connection you shared with your friend and the revelation that came from this is wonderful. Love your words “How different would it be if we lived in a world of feeling connected to others and sharing Love and Harmony, a world where we enjoy each others presence and reflection and are inspired. by each other”. No war here, just harmony and joy to live together.

     1. How beautiful if everybody did live like that, how it would be impossible to even think of harming another in any way.

     2. How beautiful if everybody did live like that, it would be impossible to even think of harming another.

     3. Imagine a world with connection, joy and harmony… There would be no war because there would be no felt need to protect or defend, just connection and openness.

247. “Just like we all are unique, different on the outside, but all the same delicious, gorgeous beauty on the inside.” I couldn’t agree more Pinky, that’s what makes the world such a gorgeous place. Thank you.

248. “We are all one and the same on the inside.” Every one of us knows this truth inside; we just don’t live it because of our issues, our hurts that we protect because they are too painful for us to deal with. One man Serge Benhayon is leading the way inspiring many, many of us, myself included that we can live in a world where there is a oneness and an equalness for all.

249. Thank you Pinky I loved reading your post, how beautiful the two, reflecting as one – You can’t truly appreciate others if you don’t appreciate yourself.

     1. So true nicolesjardin, “You can’t truly appreciate others if you don’t appreciate yourself” yet most of us are conditioned in a way to not appreciate ourselves. I have found the consistency of appreciating myself challenging mainly because of taking on beliefs that to appreciate myself was arrogant and the word ‘bragging’ comes to mind. I realise that this is nothing but preventing me to claim all of who I truly am.

        1. I have learnt that because I am appreciating myself self more and taking the time to really understand my essence and strengths the more I am able to call it out when someone is not treating me in this way.

        2. Agree Caroline, there are many beliefs and ideals that are imposed on us or which we take on, that are there to prevent us claiming all of who we truly are. Being told it is arrogant to appreciate oneself or being told that it is selfish to self-care are but two of the more common tricks!

        3. I agree Nicole and Caroline, -You can’t truly appreciate others if you don’t appreciate yourself. I notice after putting myself on a program of appreciating myself then I naturally and easily appreciate others. However, I do struggle to keep appreciating myself, and feel it is time to change this.

250. And it is such a joy when we share our expressions and so rich due to the many facets of the oneness that one person alone cannot capture in its richness.

251. That is my experience too. It is via our bodies and sensitivity that our eyes get opened to see truth.

252. I like to turn that sentence “If we chose to feel and see that the beauty in others lives in us too?” to ‘If we chose to feel and see that the beauty in us lives in others too?’. I just get the sense that if we would know ourselves as beautiful it would be easy to know everyone else to be just the same beauty before we would recognize the differences. That would put everything in a different context and understanding instead of judgement or reaction would prevail.

253. A recent experience observing the passing over of a 90 year old friend has revealed the truth of ‘we are all the same’. As the time approached I noticed that the more the man pulled away from his weakening body the more his inner essence of who he truly was was left behind, with no other distractions or exterior of what clothes he wore, his big burly body or what jokes he told to distract from the beautiful man that was inside. It was a very lovely experience of feeling who he truly was and deeply appreciating the love that he was, and that this was in fact in him the whole time. From this point forward I have been more open to feeling this in everyone, peeling back the outer exterior and not letting it judge what I can feel.

254. How strong is the illusion that we live in to be able to take us away from the oneness that we all are? It is no where near as strong as the oneness, so why are we so caught up in the senseless illusion that keeps us from being the oneness.

255. As a child I was told that actions speak louder than words and in reading your blog and in particular the following words I could feel this – ‘I felt her preciousness, her playfulness in the manner in which she came to me, in the simple words spoken, the joy in her presence and the love I felt from her towards me’. A look or a tender touch can convey such deep respect and love. In my connection to your experience Pinky, words were required but it was as though I was sharing the moment with you and your friend – and it was magical to feel the interconnectedness.

256. “How strange it is that we see beauty in others but fail to see that same beauty in ourselves too!” This is such an important observation you raise, Pinky. When we do appreciate ourselves in this way, goodness how one’s world changes! One of the biggest things I have found when I live from that self-appreciation I have no comparison, how freeing is that?

     1. Yes Jonathan, I feel that the more we really appreciate our beauty then the comparison just fades away.

257. Oh, and the tricks and the games and the incessant fog that tries to make us believe otherwise – that we are not all one and the same on the inside. When we return to our inner-heart and the simplicity of connecting with another, our equality is confirmed instantly. It is no surprise that the game is to create as much disharmony between people as possible, all in an attempt to stop our truth from being felt.

     1. Exposes that it is not truly our hurts that are the cause of separation, much more it is the choice to be separated by creating disharmony and hurts we then can be identified by as seemingly separate units.

     2. Thanks for the lovely reminder Shirley-Ann, a reminder to really feel.

258. The more we connect to ourself and let that out for the world to see and feel around us the more they respond. Thats my experience. They cannot help but share in the joy they feel with us. No trying, to be had, just simple being naturally who we are meant to be.

259. ‘Would there be any hatred, comparison, jealousy, physical or verbal violence, conflicts or even war, if we chose to feel and see that the beauty in others lives in us too?’ No Pinky, not a scrap.

260. “How different would it be if we lived in a world of feeling connected to others and sharing love and harmony; a world where we enjoy each other’s presence and reflections, and are inspired by each other?” Love this Pinky; one day it will be so.

261. Hi Pinky, I’m picturing all of us (humanity) a puzzle pieces, all over the floor, randomly on top of each other, upside down and scattered far. I can see how we all need to be connected to make sense, when we come together we are all a little piece of the big whole. I does make you realise that every single one of us plays a part, and every single one of us is just as important in making the picture complete.

     1. Anything else is a scrambled mess!

262. What you have said here is profound, Kev, and I would say it is unknown by the vast majority of people. Often our self-doubt is that we are not only all from the same place, but that we are able to be as powerful as everyone else.

263. True words shared “We are one and the same on the inside”, so much disagreement comes from a thin veneer of difference, if we choose to look deeper we can see the truth (feel the truth), we are of the same essence. Peel back any difference and we will find that it has no true foundation. The issues arise from reactions and fear of being hurt. Our true strength is found and lived when we come together and honour what unites us not what separates us.

264. Every single one of us has a body that pulls us towards such equality and brotherhood, and I can feel in your blog Pinky the absolute joy from our whole being of being met in being fully equal with no separation whatsoever. This turns our modern way of life lived globally by humanity on its head!

265. And we are all expressing the same thing just in different ways that together make the whole – it’s a beautiful way of being. When we express in full, the whole can be felt by another, when we hold back in any way, some of the ‘information’ is lost, and becomes unaccessible in that moment.

266. You raise an interesting point – do we rely on our eyes too much? I think the answer to this is YES, my eyes can deceive me, they can make horrific things look ok if the picture looks good. However my feelings are almost never wrong, and if I feel AND look then I can feel if the picture I see matches the feeling I get inside, and if not I know that there is something further going on that my eyes cannot see.

     1. We have everything it takes to know truth but we need to make use of it just as you describe.

        1. Beautifully said 🙂 we already know the truth and everything about us is designed to know the truth, it’s just whether we allow ourselves to know that we know.

        2. What I recognised is that one reason for ignoring what we know is avoiding the power and responsibility we then get to feel and everything that comes with it.

     2. We do rely on our eyes too much to see instead of feeling first. What I am learning most is to trust my feelings especially when they differ to what is there in front of me.

        1. Yeah me too, often what I see completely doesn’t correlate with what I feel, especially when it comes to people and their behaviours. What I’m learning is to never ignore that feeling, because we can never see the whole picture, just what is shown to us, and the feeling is almost never wrong.

267. We are more alike than the illusion of life allows us to contemplate.

     1. So true Adam. And we choose to live in this illusion rather than appreciating the interconnectedness between us all.

268. I loved reading about your walk with your friend Pinky.. it was truly divine!

269. Pinky you remind me of what it felt like as a child, playful, unconstrained by beliefs of right and wrong. If this natural feeling of being the same as another is deep within then why have we allowed society to pit children against each other, media to promote ideals of unrealistic beauty all along ignoring the fact that being who are truly are brings more beauty and grace to the world than anything else. Very inspiring hearing about the magic of knowing we are all the same.

270. We may have a long way to go before the big puzzle is complete… but the box is no longer sitting on the shelf. With all great puzzles you have to start somewhere and we are just building the border first letting the other pieces find how well they fit. We are just are an all white puzzle, all the same but different but each one is an important part of the whole.

271. When you read this it is just a great reminder that there is no other way to live really. Having this openness and acceptance for ourselves and others makes complete sense and if we let go of all our hurts that creates all the protection which gets in the way of this Oneness then we are on the road to a very harmonious, joyful and natural journey back to where we originally come from. I am totally up for this.

     1. Me too Natalie, it does make sense, as it feels so true.

     2. I love how you said this Natalie, but I did not know until I actually started to open up and free my expression how much greater this way of being is. We need to start somewhere and allow ourselves to unfold step by step with the many opportunities we get.

272. I remember a feeling of being very close if not ‘as one’ with close friends when very young and how it was not cool to express this kind of feeling at school. Many years later, having discovered Universal Medicine, it surprised me that this feeling was still able to rekindled so easily. Yet, being there within us and within everyone to connect with, does not mean we necessarily choose that connection and it seems tragic that people live in separation for most if not all of their lives when something so precious is there for all to feel.

     1. Absolutely Anne, Simon and Jane, I love what you share here, and I know and can feel that living with that harmony and inter-connectedness is where we all come from and it’s our future as well, as we are on our way back to our truth.

     2. Yes Simon, how important it is to realise that it is actually normal to feel the connection with everybody, as we do at Universal Medicine events. This is a micro cosm of how the world will be one day. We are living the future now.

        1. Beautiful Esther, yes this is normal and I look forward to that day.

273. Thank you Pinky for this beautiful blog – sharing awareness of how we are truly all connected, divinely so. I was drawn to read one sentence a couple of times and felt the strength and the knowing that it will be like this one day “How different would it be if we lived in a world of feeling connected to others and sharing love and harmony; a world where we enjoy each others presence and reflections, and are inspired by each other.” I feel we experience this within the Universal Medicine student body – and thus far there be a couple of thousand or so who are evolving and developing the grace and awareness that there is indeed the possibility of an emanation that is reflected out to the wider community of humanity no matter where we are, what we are doing and whomsoever we are walking amongst at any given moment. How remarkable.

     1. Lovely Roberta, as I’m reading your message I’m feeling a real snapshot of what is possible with humanity when we share love and harmony.

274. This question Esther unveils a core understanding that we so often overlook – “how can we truly truly appreciate another if we do not hold that same appreciation for ourselves”.

275. Beautiful Pinky. As a child it was deeply natural to me to feel people from who they are, and equality as a child was not a buzz word, but an absolute lived reality. I remember it coming as something of a mystery, surprise and even shock when someone first pointed out to me that a playmate at school had a ‘different’ physical appearance because of his asian ancestory. As a child, no part of me had registered this, no difference existed and I had not at all seen there was a difference in skin tone or facial features – it shocked me that the adults thought I was a bit naive for not noticing, yet they spoke as though there was a difference that was real – there was a seperatness in them from them that made this possible, they had been trained where to focus, and it was very surface and visual focussed – whereas the actual bigger picture reality for me was that there really was not a difference, we felt the same, no line between us where one ended and the other began, and this was both primary and absolute. The adults were the ones that felt naive to me. I saw that our eyes have to be trained what to focus on and to learn labels that do not naturally exist, ‘european descent’ meant zero to a child who lived from her heart and the warmth of all.
     I love your example of feeling one flow between you as you walked – isn’t it incredible that this is our natural state and yet is so very rarely our experience as we have pulled back from ourselves and the warmth of connection.

276. Beautiful Pinky such a great revelation of the importance of our natural gift of feeling people and everything. To actually acknowledge this and live in this way knowingly. The oneness and beauty we can then feel is amplified with both others and ourselves, brings a real appreciation and joy in our lives.

277. I have found I can also let “…my eyes sometimes see what I’ve already decided is there…” and I agree this “… is not seeing at all”! Your comment makes me wonder – What makes us reinterpret what is before us? Is it our hurts, our needs and expectations? Our ideals and beliefs? The various consciousnesses we are aligned with? It must be forces of separation like these that cause the distortion from seeing the truth of our Oneness. What else could it be?

278. I’m relating to this too Andrew. Developing that appreciation, love, connection and so on in or for ourselves feels like a critical first step in the process of appreciating, loving, connecting with others. I like the sense of life being less of a struggle too. This feels like a pretty good way to live life!

279. That is it Abby and Esther and I have definitely felt appreciation for others but it has been side by side with jealousy as well. Jealousy and Comparison is such an ingrained behaviour that I have chosen to rule my views from such a young age never feeling that I was enough. Not until I came to Universal Medicine did I start to see this differently and only recently have I truly become honest about how much this can effect all my relationships. Since 2004 when I went to my first workshop with Universal Medicine I have been building a strong relationship with myself and the self-love has been incredible to choose. Learning to deeply and fully appreciate these choices, the Love that I am and how gorgeous this is has been the hardest one to crack – but none the less a crack has been made and each moment I know there is more to embrace. Each relationship I have has changed from this place and they all are becoming more and more real, loving, intimate and beautiful. With out Universal Medicine I know I wouldn’t be feeling this in my life. That calls for a HUGE BIG APPRECIATION and shout out for UNIVERSAL MEDICINE.

280. Lately I have been experimenting more with ‘feeling’ with my eyes. It is taking some training to let go of the old way that I have been using sight, usually to judge another. In the times when I do feel with my eyes, I can sense all that that person is going through, like a snapshot, but I can also sense that all those identities and issues are not them because shining from behind that layer is a radiating beauty. When I surrender to that beauty, there is nothing more I need to say or do, but just be with them.

     1. Beautiful Jinya.

     2. Jinya this is great going beyond what we call normal sight to see, but to feel too and not go into judgement. Allowing to see the true beauty behind the layers people hiding behind. It is something I am working on too. It really is about completely letting go of judgement, an seeing people equal.

        1. yes Nicola and we will see from everything we hold within our body and all we live. In other words the way we are with ourselves, the undealt with hurts and issues, our lifestyle choices all influence the way we see others.

     3. Gorgeous Jinya, I have been playing with this too. When I let go of the tension around my eyes I can feel my own love and my own inner beauty, and the way I see people is totally different. I have been appreciating the beauty in others and can feel the love that is there naturally when all the usual protection is not present. It’s amazing how powerful this is.

        1. Great sharing Jinya and Rebecca, I’m just feeling this now, how true it is, how tight we hold our view – one could even say narrow, until we relax our eyes, the muscles around our eyes and look at the world with tenderness. Delicious!

     4. I too have noticed that I am seeing more in people the gorgeousness of who they are and when I do this, every thing else melts away. I hadn’t thought of it as ‘feeling’ with my eyes but it is true Jinya we do feel with our eyes – thank you.

     5. What a beautiful experiment Jinya, I will see what that feels like for me too.

281. Thanks for sharing this Toni, this is an experiment worth trying. I like the early findings of your research too, that reacting less can lead to more openness and the capacity to see the innate glory in everyone.

282. It’s funny how quickly we can go from genuine admiration or appreciation into comparison – we can be there in the blink of an eye without even knowing it’s happened. How wonderful you caught this micro-moment when something changed and allowed the love back in.

     1. A huge moment for me indeed to realise there is so much more. We know how to make our lives complicated and self depreciating in our minds, but when we understand the importance of listening to how we feel, it is almost as if we have the choice to not give our power away to what is less than who we are. And yet we are all the same, and the way we are can be a huge reflection to others.

283. I was just noticing that Pinky, the author of this article, is a software engineer. The tenderness Pinky has expressed in this article is one I wouldn’t have thought ‘typical’ of someone in the IT industry. But, if what Pinky has shared here is true (and I agree it is), that means all IT people are equally tender on the inside – as are people in all walks of life. How lovely it will be when the populations of entire sectors, man and woman alike, start to embrace this same tenderness. It will transform our workplaces and the way we live with each other.

     1. That’s a truly beautiful thought Victoria, when we are all living the tenderness we are, life will be simply amazing.

     2. Victoria, I love what you share here – if we all allow ourselves to re-connect to this tenderness inside – which we all undoubtedly have, as we were all tender little babies, only a few years ago – how our lives and workplaces would be transformed. This is not lovey dovey pie in the sky. It is actually a fact, and our future.

284. One of the many things I love about this Pinky is how you write about love. It is different to how we normally heard/see/read people talking about love. Normally this kinda of love is usually talked about in the romantic sense and between 2 people “in love” and in a relationship (be that a man/woman, man/man, woman/woman). It is challenging to look at how we view romantic – or emotional – love as the main source of love and to open it up much wider than that and realise that there is a love much deeper and grander that is available equally for all as it exists within us equally. And it can be shared by anyone and everyone as your blog so beautifully attests to. Thank you Pinky.

     1. Great point sarahflenely, this is absolutely huge! How beautiful it is, to blow this perception of love – only being there for a relationship between a couple ‘romantically’ involved…..how limiting is this! I love so many people deeply now in my life, so I know it’s not true that true love is limited to the one relationship, it’s actually a lie.

285. I love the equalness expressed in this article. We are all capable of inspiring and reflecting to each other that which we in truth all are – divine.

     1. It is something I find so amazing how even the smallest of babies can reflect back to us how divine we are.

        1. I agree James. This is a great comment – a tiny baby has the ability to melt the heart of anyone, simply by their innocence and joy. What a gorgeously divine reflection and reminder for us all.

        2. I know Sandra, it blows education out of the water – we are led to believe and ‘think’ we need to learn text books about how to be and what we should do rather than living what naturally comes to us. When we are truly left to be, just a like a baby, naturally we are super aware and have access to understanding whatever is in front of us. ie. we do not need to refer to a text book or what someone has said to understand or respond to a situation, we simply see things as they are and then respond accordingly.

286. So true Abby.

287. The wars in the world that ensue from not living with the equality which is innately know to us all but choosing to live instead in pure separation is pure evil; but so too is it equally as destructive to not feel the love we experience and see in others in ourselves. Beautiful Pinky; thank you.

     1. Well said ginadunlop. To claim ourselves in all the glory that we are is not selfish but a gift to the world.

     2. So true ginadunlop, we cannot truly love another until we love ourselves truly.

     3. Well said Shirley-Ann, truly seeing that all the beauty we recognise in another is in us equally. From there we then treat ourselves with that love, which then helps us to feel more of that love equalise.

288. I loved reading about the heavenly experience of feeling at one with another person – complete love, joy and appreciation of them and feeling the same back. I recognise this and I have felt this profoundly before, especially at Universal Medicine workshops when I have opened up and allowed myself to go there and so has the other person. But I am aware how little this is the case in my daily life – there is a holding back by most people and often by me too as I anticipate possible hurt and tone down my expression to avoid the pain. But what you mention, not only knowing that we are all one and the same, but also actually living it, is what I crave – and really, everyone craves it too. It is a conversation worth coming to again and again so that we can heal everything that is in the way of us living this most basic expression of who we all truly are. Thank you for your blog Pinky.

     1. I have been a master at holding back Golnaz and coming out of my comfort and confronting myself has been a big challenge. But we all have the capacity to heal, and knowing that we are all one and going through the same challenges is supportive as when one heals so does another, and so it goes on. Having the honesty to look myself in the eye allows me to go deeper with my own expression, realising that everything we crave is deep within us all just yearning to be healed, then the more we heal the more we can live it!

     2. I agree Beverley, this connection is amazing, just being and therefore lots of transformations happen without any effort.

289. This is so true Esther. To accept that we are the one equally to everybody else brings us out of the imprisonment of wanting or needing a special person in one’s life in order to feel fulfilled.

290. Yes felixschuacher8, this is very true, and I’m sue it would be a different world if this statement was taught and discussed from a young age. It may just curb the amount of violence and disharmony that happens. At least, it may offer a moment to reconsider any act of harm from one person to another.

291. Yes Bernard, anything and everything that separates or disconnects us from that Soul level of connection is evil, and separative.

292. Thanks Rachel, what a tangible experience. So beautiful to read about! I have definitely experienced this too and it’s a real marker for what is possible all of the time.

     1. It must be an incredible feeling when you are playing in a band to come together as one. When every person surrenders to absolute oneness it can be heard in the quality of the sound and felt throughout the body. It is beautiful as an audience member to surrender to that so that we all become one. There is no distinction between those who listen and those who produce the sound.
        I have gone to see bands in times past, playing for themselves and for the adulation. Would they become one with their audience? No way! The audience was there to serve them…there might as well have been a brick wall between players and listeners – the great ones on stage and the plebs in the audience!
        To surrender to oneness means that we have to let go of some pretty dismal baggage -the arrogance and superiority get checked at the door, along with feelings of inferiority. All we are left with is the expansive knowing of just how incredible we are and the potential for any amazing thing to happen.

        1. Thanks Rachel! Love your comment. Playing in oneness is truly a beautiful experience and it is exactly as you have described. The power of Ones, playing as one is incredible. And it is beautiful to listen to a sound that is not imposing, yet unifying, powerful by its oneness and expressive of joy beyond what can be heard or seen.

     2. And as a listener we are an intimate part of it. That is priceless.

293. “How strange it is that we see beauty in others but fail to see that same beauty in ourselves too!” We are taught to see the differences with ourselves and others, and between others, which encourages so much comparison and competition…rather than feeling and acknowledging the knowing that we are all the same, no matter how we look or what we do. The focus is the differences and not the sameness – one encourages individuality and separateness, and the other unifies.

294. I experienced a beautiful sharing recently with two much younger women I had not met before, and another around my own age I had known for quite some time. It was just so wonderful to feel that, from the moment we all met and sat down together, there was an open acceptance and equality between us. Age, appearance, familiarity, beliefs, nationality ect. made no difference, we all contributed equally and harmoniously to the conversation as if we had all known each other for years and were as one. This sense of union was deeply touching and very beautiful.

295. Something as simple as a walk with a friend can be life changing if we are open to it. It is good to know that there are opportunities everywhere for evolution.

296. Very good Pinky, a basic fundamental that is quite often overlooked and that is we are all the same equal expression of love

297. If we would see that we are all equal, that we are all one on the inside what huge love for one another would be set free only in accepting, feeling and understanding that this is the truth.

298. This line is so true Pinky “Could it also be that we are taught to see only the physical differences and live in separation from everyone – and even from ourselves?” just with this simple change of focus from seeing differences to seeing commonalities (and celebrating these) we could effectively change the world.

299. ‘ We are all part of a jigsaw puzzle called Humanity and this puzzle cannot be complete without every single piece being connected.’ This is true Pinky , and deep down we all know this. That each one of us is an amazing, unique, part of a whole.

300. Seeing each other as different is just a protection to not have to let them in and to not accept our love, and how lovely we truly are.. So it’s basically a form of protection from our hurts.

     1. Beneath our skin we are all cut from the same mould.

     2. Beautiful Danielle – absolutely true.

301. I love reading your blogs Pinky. I have always found it much easier to see power and beauty in another than it is to see these same qualities in myself. When I consider the truth that we are all the same it makes it much easier to see that the quality I feel in another is in me too. The only real difference between us is what we choose to express.

     1. Perhaps what we will deny for ourselves we will deny for another. Celebrating ourselves feels essential for harmony because if I don’t not see and feel me clearly and in the full truth of who I am, how will I do that for another?

        1. I agree with what you are sharing here Melinda. For a long long time, I had an internal critique inside of me nit picking at others. What I have found that that nit picking was also going on at myself and it wasn’t until I have learnt to appreciate and celebrate me that I can then appreciate another. It then becomes clear that we are all one and same.

        2. So true Melinda – I have really been feeling this lately. It makes celebrating myself feel natural and loving.

302. A beautiful blog, I can imagine your walk, and I have experienced similar walks and moments with my friends, able to see in them, beyond everything physical, something beautiful and completely worth loving. I find it is the best way to love someone – not for what they look like, where they live, the money they have or their beliefs, but for the something inside them that you see shine out that you can’t help but love.

     1. So true Rebecca. When you see that something, you can’t but help love. Because it is love and thus, ourselves looking back.

303. Thank you Rachel for reminding us that although we may live life forgetting the Oneness we are all from, it is always there “awaiting our return”. As Pinky’s heart-felt blog clearly shows, we can re-connect to it at any moment if we let others in, lovingly so.

304. It takes a lot of love to see the true beauty of a person. There are so many layers that get in the way – physical and behavioural. I’m learning to accept more of me with all my imperfections, which supports me to see my beauty and that of others.

     1. Jinya that is beautifully said, and I agree – learning to accept ourselves with all our imperfections is a game changer and will help us let go of any need to ’better’ ourselves and allow ourselves just to be who we truly are, which in turn supports others to equally be who they are.

305. ‘we are all one and the same inside’ it is a saying that is widely used and I have known it for a good part of my life but not untill Universal Medicine and healing my hurts and reactions has it transformed from a superficial understanding and a great saying to a deep understanding and lived inner wisdom. This is a significant difference as there is a lot of wisdom around and much can be learned from the sayings that we have but the only way they will be bringing about change is when we learn how to live them in full.

     1. So many of our sayings have a deeper meaning when they are actually applied through living what our truth truly is. Language is a great reflector of our truth as humanity.

306. When we look on the outside we only see the differences but when we feel from the inside we know that we are all the same.

307. To walk with another and feel that same beautiful connection, there is no comparison or judgement but an acceptance of such joy in a union of two people ‘walking as one’. Beautiful sharing Pinky, my inner glow was really glowing after reading this again today.

308. The ‘equal essential sameness’ in all people is confirmed to me by the way a person can grow increasingly attractive the more you get to know them, the more our guards are dissolved and intimacy allowed to flow. I have seen people’s physical appearance change before my very eyes as I let them in to my heart. It’s a phenomena, one I love to play with because it is just so heavenly to truly connect with others as equals, and may I add not nearly as heavenly when I don’t.

     1. It’s all about the eyes Josephine. They really are the ‘windows to the Soul’ and there is nothing but true love and beauty in Soul.

     2. A physical body can be attractive or not, but when we connect through our eyes it is the most beautiful experience and as you say it deepens as our hearts open. I just love that!

     3. I agree jeannettegold, Jeanette and Josephine. It is the eyes of the heart that see the beauty that is in every person; they are not attuned to faults and flaws. All that is seen through and beyond, into the essence that is always there – whether we live its grace or not.

        1. Rachel, I love how you have expressed this, the eyes of the heart, I shall carry that with me, and acknowledge the eyes of my heart.

309. Pinky having just re read your beautiful article I felt to comment on what you wrote about how we live in separation from ourselves and from one another. I was convinced for most of my adult life that I was very connected to both myself and to others. It came as a great revelation to realise that I had actually been keeping everyone at bay and to learn that how we are with others is a reflection of how we are with ourselves. This caused me to then realise that I had been keeping myself at a distance for most of my adult life. It has been so enriching to first let myself in and then to feel that everyone else has just flooded in. I now feel a wonderful mix of myself and everyone else.

310. Moments like this are profound when we connect so deeply with another that we feel the same. I used to experience this when I took drugs: at the time I was convinced that my experiences were expansive on some level. What I have learned since having these experiences without any drugs, just a willingness from me and another to surrender into our bodies, is that drugs can make you think you are connecting when really you are disassociating yourself from the entire reality we are all living in.

311. ‘How strange it is that we see beauty in others but fail to see that same beauty in ourselves too!’ It is so true Pinky. I love what you have written here. I feel like I have just been turned up the right way and can now see clearly.

312. I’ve just revisited your blog Pinky – it’s really beautiful – thank you for sharing.

313. I love your beautiful blog Pinky. We are just the very same quantum soup of identical particles as all of humanity.
     Our form is an illusion proven by the fact that when we are close to each other we exchange particles freely but our form stays the same.
     So the only difference between us then is in the way our consciousness believes us to be.
     So in fact we really are what we express. Amazing aye!

314. This blog is very confirming of that equal quality within us all. We are so lead astray from a young age about this fact and go on believing that it is our outside appearances that matters and that being an individual is our right. This way of thinking keeps us all separate and in competition with each other. To embrace and reconnect again to our natural inner beauty will bring more love to all in this loveless world.

315. “What if we just saw people through the way we felt with them, not with our eyes, but with our feelings? Then the beauty we see with our eyes would be an expansion of what is already felt, and a confirmation”- so true Pinky. With an openheart, and connection to our soul the knowing that we are the same deep within us all is indeed confirmed. And there is no room for comparison, jealousy or ideals and beliefs. Why then do wars exist?
     Could it be in the choice of our connection?

316. I loved this paragraph:
     “My friend and I realised at that point, that the cuteness I felt in my gorgeous friend, she felt it in me too; the playfulness that I felt in her, she saw it in me too; the little girl I felt in her, she felt in me too; the joy I felt with her, she felt with me too; the love I felt for her, she felt for me too! The love that was in her was in me too, and the beauty I saw in her, she saw in me too.”
     What magnificent mirrors!

317. Relationships would be revolutionised Ariana. To feel love and be love is powerful in any interaction we have with people. Love does not harm.

318. A beautifully expressed blog… “Then the beauty we see with our eyes would be an expansion of what is already felt, and a confirmation.” was particularly lovely! It’s surprising how much this concept is overlooked, when its right there in front of us… so simple.

319. What a beautiful reflection you and your friend are for each other as we all are when we are connected to the love and beauty that is within. By appreciating and honouring these qualities in ourselves and others jealousy and comparison become extinct.

320. And how deliciously joyful to share this moment with a friend, it warms my heart, and inspires! This is what is possible when we keep our hearts open.

321. “We are all one and the same on the inside” – how many times do we have to be shown this truth? Thank you Pinky for confirming again, and your blog will remind me of those words whenever I begin to compare, judge or criticise.These words are powerful in their simplicity.

322. This is beautiful Pinky! Thus feels so simple yet powerful. It uproots evils of comparison, jealousy and other belief systems that’s been created by humanity. It brings us back to simplicity as we are one. Thank you for sharing.

323. And I agree, it is very interesting fact that for many it is easier to recognise beauty and love in another then in ourselves. When we understand that even though our expressions of it may differ, what we are underneath is all the same and then we understand what the true meaning of reflection is.

     1. To me the reflection that you are offering here Carolien is in that if we are finding it easier to recognise beauty and love in another than in ourselves then this is telling us that we cannot be looking through the eyes of love. The reflection is asking us to go deeper and when we do and we look again from the eyes of the love that we are, we realise that we weren’t ever even really scratching the surface of the depth of beauty and love in another.

     2. The true meaning of reflection, what a great thing to ponder… what is it really? Is it a gift for us to see that which we truly are?

     3. And knowing that in the reflection we are equally the same is important to remember and one of the things that helps to allow ourselves to accept this fact is that we have to express and confirm what we are reflected in our everyday meetings. It is not normal that we hold back the expression that is naturally there for us when we feel the true joy that the meeting of another fellow human brings, actually for whoever it may be we meet.

324. So beautiful and confirming Pinky of the love and beauty we all are thank you for sharing this reality simply and truly. Appreciation and love for ourselves allows us to feel that in others as we are just the same. This is something to celebrate and allow as you show clearly on your walk together with your friend. A real inspiration for us all.

     1. Life is full of lessons to confirm where we come from tricianicholson. In every meeting with another person we will be reflected an other aspect of life, of what we are too. Therefore allowing to enjoy every meeting we have and to truly celebrate these moments is the way to go. As it is about us working together with all the different aspects we bring, that makes the whole of who we human beings actually represent and are.

325. What if we did not only see through the differences in our outer appearances but also through our different ways of protection and hurts? Then we truly connect to each other on the level you so adoringly describe Pinky

326. Yes it would be a very different world if we lived in the knowing of the immense beauty and love that lives inside us all. The comparison, jealousy, issues and arguments would fall away, knowing how we are all this love and we don’t want to inflict harm on another. This is what it means to develop self love and its grand purpose.

327. Relying on what we see with our eyes does keep us in separation Pinky. It seems our World is geared to enhance this illusion with an emphasis on visual stimulation, keeping us constantly looking outward rather than feeling life. We admire beauty or success in others but fail to value it in ourselves.

     I had a direct experience with the essence of what you share just two days ago. I had a low moment, where I was struggling to accept what I was feeling in myself as I had uncovered some big insights into my behavior and I began to feel low and not valued. I played this out by eating something that was not supportive to me and in an energy of trying to cover up what I was feeling. I then saw this begin to play out because I felt bad about what I had done.. Until later, in the bathroom, I looked at myself in the mirror just as I was about to clean my teeth. And what I saw was amazing, I looked and felt expanded and full of light. And yet, I had not felt that! In that moment, I realized that I had forgotten how gorgeous and amazing I am, because I was focusing on the uncomfortable feelings, allowing myself to feel shame, rather than allowing myself to feel everything that I am. It was a reminder to deeply appreciate myself as I unravel all that I am not, and to confirm the steadiness and power of my piece in the master jigsaw puzzle.

328. I could tangibly feel the quality of oneness you felt in your description of the momentary interaction between you and your friend Pinky, that had nothing to do with appearances and everything to do with the quality of what you felt. It is great to put words to what this really means, to be one and the same with another.

329. I love that not only did you know that we are all equal and the same on the inside, but you were given the opportunity to truly feel and embody this as a fact, forever knowing that your eyes can never tarnish again what your body and heart has now experienced and shown you to be true.

     1. Pinky reveals how important it is to not just intellectually understand something to be true, but to live it, walk it, and feel it, to magnify what is known.

330. Yes Michael, it’s very strange… especially when we consider that all along, all of us really would love to feel the interconnectedness and closeness that we can have with each other.

331. well said nicolesjardin — this really turns on the head the belief we’ve been fed since little that we’re ‘up ourselves’ when we enjoy our own beauty. When we cut ourselves off from who we truly are we effectively cut ourselves off from others as well.

332. This is Gorgeous. It made me wonder what I’ve chosen to not live constantly as ‘one’ with the people around me. Thank you Pinky. You’ve shared a living experience of how the world will be one day again.

333. When we don’t appreciate and see the beauty in ourselves, we cannot see it in another. By virtue of not failing to see our own beauty we’ve put up a wall not to see — because our beauty is there regardless. It’s with this wall we then relate to others and our relationships just stay on the surface instead of deepening beautifully the way Pinky is sharing here. Connecting and seeing our own true beauty is not selfish, it is actually an act for everyone 🙂

334. Thank you for sharing this Pinky. You pose the question about whether there could be any aggression or conflict between people if we had the understanding that we are all the same – I suggest not. Most conflict arises when we see another as having or being more than us and we want that or seeing another as less than us and not deserving of what we have. If we can connect to the feeling of our essence and that we are all the same on this level, then there can be no conflict.

     1. Agreed Lee. If we are never taught to see our differences as being a point of difference, we would never be able to compare another as being more or less than and hence space for true harmony in the human race. Comparison is learned, not innate.

335. I loved sharing your walk and experience with your friend, Pinky, and the expansion you both felt is now in me too.

336. A confirming article Pinky that shares the true beauty and depth of who we are in our essence and at the same time highlights where we are at as a humanity that focuses on the superficial and the outer.

337. I can feel how much more open and less judgemental we would be of other people who seem different if we would trust our feelings before our 5 senses, as Pinky has really beautifully shared here. It’s like we are almost constantly convincing ourselves of a different reality and separateness based on ideals, beliefs we have adopted from others, etc. that feeds this notion of us not being the same on the inside, which could not be further from the truth. Another thing that came to me while reading this is how a research group called the Heart Math Institute has proven that when two people come physically closer to each other, their heart rates and rhythms begin to mesh and synchronize instantly, as if they were one. Another sign of our Divine unity.

338. What a beautiful experience you had Pinky, and it shows the connection we can have when we choose to see the love in ourselves as well as in those around us. “Then the beauty we see with our eyes would be an expansion of what is already felt, a confirmation.”

339. I loved reading this and realising it’s me who puts up those barriers to others I say I don’t like. I know this because when I feel open and allowing even if others choose not to join me, the love I have for them is no different.

340. For so long now, winning, competition, being better than, being stronger or more beautiful has been revered and set above and ahead of truth and quality, causing deep separation of humanity, not just globally, but between people, family, friends, neighbours, schools, suburbs, the list is endless. Thanks to Serge Benhayon and the teachings of Universal Medicine is the separation being addressed and the great divide that exists is being bridged.

341. Pinky, beautiful to feel your appreciation of your friend, I often experience an appreciation of the qualities I see in others but struggle to feel the same in regard to myself. It is great to have the reflections of a friend to help us along the way in deeply appreciating ourselves and also the interconnectedness of us all. This is often hard to fathom when we see people acting badly, yet it is there nonetheless and can be felt it we allow it.

342. ‘How strange it is that we see beauty in others but fail to see that same beauty in ourselves too!’ This is one many of us are battling with and the key seems to be first accepting who we are and not trying to be anybody else and second, appreciating everything we are and what we bring.

     1. I saw a movie with this line in it, “The bad stuff is easier to believe”. It shouldn’t be this way. I don’t think kids find it difficult to see their own beauty; this tells me that they are connected to a loveliness that is inside them naturally and then live out this connection. There seems to be a simple acceptance that this is the way it is and with that acceptance, true beauty is restored.

     2. ‘How strange it is that we see beauty in others but fail to see that same beauty in ourselves too!’ If we are totally honest Carmel we would look at this sentence and know that if we cannot see the beauty in ourselves first it is not possible to see the full extent of the beauty in another. So we both miss out on the depth of all there is to see and feel in ourselves and in others. So as you say love of self is undeniably worth working on, with accepting and appreciating ourselves is at the top of the list!

343. This is one of the magical moments that leave a marker in your body that is never forgotten. Thank you Pinky for sharing.

344. Thank you Pinky. I love this line – “We are all part of a jigsaw puzzle called Humanity and this puzzle cannot be complete without every single piece being connected”. This is so true and when we live like that it breaks down the false barriers we have with one another.

     1. ‘False barriers’, it is true Elizabeth, we do live with false barriers to others, how odd that we can live as though there is a barrier of what ever sort between us an another, when it is not even really there. Living a lie.

345. Thank you Pinky, a true connection was felt by you and your friend. We are one.

346. Pinky I love what you have opened up and shared here. What stood out for me is how different our friendships and relationships would be if we discerned them based on what the person felt like, as opposed to what they look like. We are fed from so young the images of what things are ‘supposed’ to look like that our feeling radars can get turned off, and we can get hurt in the process. Fostering our innate ability to feel other people is key in building gorgeous and harmonious relationships, that we can indeed have. Thank you for these wise and loving words Pinky.

347. I remember feeling like this when I was a little girl Pinky. We are one in the same first and foremost. Our stories may be different but we are not the story and these days I realise how dangerous it is to keep reaffirming them …we are so much more!

348. Feeling another before seeing their outer is true gold.

349. It is great when something we have heard many times and know to be true is confirmed in our life and in our body, to allow the reflection, the gorgeousness and to feel it is in you too. I love the way you have shared your cuteness and playfulness, your little girl, the love and the beauty. I feel it is equal in me, in all of us. Thank you Pinky!

350. Pinky I love the analogy of the apples, peel back the skin and there just below the surface we are all the same, pure, crisp, juicy, slightly different flavour, slightly different texture but all equally delicious. When we look past any surface imperfections or bruises we find we are all amazing at our core. Not one bad apple in the barrel.

351. It is absurd that we can see the beauty in another but deny this in ourselves but when it is true love and oneness there is no separation and so to accept the love of someone, we have no choice but to accept this confirmation of ourselves too. The more we connect to our essence, our very Soul and accept ourselves, the more we are naturally open to feeling another’s essence and know true brotherhood and unity once more.

352. Pinky this is a gorgeous blog and a great reminder to always focus on what links us together and to appreciate that each and everyone of us is part of that grandness.

353. When we surrender to love, we let go of the judgment that we put in place to stop us seeing and feeling the stupendous love that we are seeded forth from. This love exists all around us, within us and through us ALL of the time. It takes an enormous effort to resist this love and thus, to reacquaint ourselves with it is sheer joy, for it is our ticket home, back to the The All that we are, and The All that we are from.

354. This is so true Pinky. When we see the love in another we know it is one and the same as the love we are also. But in order to see this love, we need to look with our hearts, otherwise the judgments and opinions that we often allow to flood our minds, will corrupt the beauty upon which we look. This is what is meant by ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’; it is not that the beauty is not there before us, around us and within us, it is that if we mask our eyes to seeing it, we inhibit our ability to behold it. How much beauty we are willing to see is dependent on how much beauty we are willing to live.

     1. Oooo…What then does this say to us about the quality of the ‘beholder’ Liane? The beauty is ever-present, but eyes alone do not hold the key – for they see anything and everything. The beholding quality comes from a very particular way of being or a choice that truly opens the eyes to see beyond the shadows and illusions of separation to the truth of the matter.

        1. Great point Rachel Mascord – the quality of the ‘beholder’ defines their interpretation of the ‘behelded’ one. My eyes used to seek the differences between us all but now I have learned another way of ‘seeing’ from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that has vastly opened my eyes to “… see beyond the illusions of separation, to connect to the equal essence in others whilst honouring our different expressions. It really is a lovely magical way to live and relate.

        2. The more love we allow ourselves to be, the more love we allow ourselves to see.

     2. Beautiful summary Liane. Reading Pinky’s blog I realised that a lot of the time I was using what I am seeing with my eyes as my primary guide. I can see (pun intended) that there is room to open up more and let others in thereby allowing myself to be guided by what I can feel in my heart. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

     3. I like to see a lot of beauty (!) and so in order to see it with my eyes, I ‘see’ that I need to connect to a beauty that is deep within me, of which there is no end to what I can access, and live consistently with this connection. By doing this, I am assured I will see a lot of beauty! (Not to mention all the beauty that I feel and can’t put into words too.)

     4. Hi Liane, I love the way you use the word ‘beauty’ it brings ‘love’ alive and makes me feel just how interchangeable the two words are; this allows both words to be all the more beautiful, if that makes sense. In fact ‘ How much beauty we are willing to see is dependent on how much beauty we are willing to live.’ could just as easily read ‘How much love we are willing to see is dependent on how much love we are willing to live.’
        True beauty is love and in love true beauty is uncovered and cannot be denied.

     5. I agree Liane, we are transformed when we see the love and truth the other is and we also see what they choose to express at that moment.

     6. Liane what you have shared about the responsibility we have to live in a certain way which will enable us to be able to see the beauty that is in us all is crucial. Most people are in constant turmoil with the way that they feel about others. On a daily level people feel let down by others, annoyed by others, infuriated by others, disappointed by others, enraged by others, disgusted by others, turned off, put off and generally fed up with others. For this to be different we must first start with ourselves and fundamentally change our relationship with ourselves.

355. The love and joy you shared is palpable and emanates right off the screen.

     1. I feel that too Michelle M Ryan. Delight, Joy, Love and Lightness all emanate from Pinky’s blog. They lift you up to also embody the truth that we are all the same on the inside.

356. Thanks for sharing your experience of this which many of us have done, but on a day to day basis can easily forget sometimes.

357. Not just seeing people with our eyes, but truly feeling them and meeting them for who they are. I am noticing that the more I accept myself and really appreciate more on a daily basis, the more I can feel others and how gorgeous they are. I bring my own acceptance and appreciation to them and then every meeting is just wonderful.

     1. Me too elainarthey, the relationships that I already boxed, so to speak, or thought that they would never work out, have been unfolding into wonderful relationships. I can be quite quick with putting a label on somebody but more and more I am allowing relationships to just be and unfold, and with meeting new people to just meet them and accept them. It brings a lot of intimacy.

358. If we started from an inner equality we would naturally see everyone as equal no matter what angle we observed them

359. Thank you for sharing this joyful moment and confirming the magic in our interconnectedness.

360. “How different would it be if we lived in a world of feeling connected to others and sharing love and harmony; a world where we enjoy each other’s presence and reflections, and are inspired by each other?” Very true Pinky. Deep inside all of us we are love and all the same – connected. It is our past hurts, that we hang onto, that enable us to take that hurt and transfer it onto the next person who may remind us of the original perpetrator. And so we spiral down, feeling jealous and comparing ourselves – when we are all unique. As you say, each of us is essential to play our own part in the big jigsaw of life.

361. Pinky thank you for sharing the depth of your story and experience. As you say “Could it be that we recognise all the love, joy and playfulness we see in others, we just don’t acknowledge that we also have them in us too?” There is no doubt in what you share that we are all the same and that the quality of what we are is naturally that love, joy, playfullness yet its not the normality for most of the world – even though its what we each deeply want. I’ve also found with support from Universal Medicine the more self-love, care and nurturing I bring to myself, the acknowledgement of what I see in others being in me is greater. But I’ve also noticed that deepens each day. The world would be very different if we connected with ourselves, others and truly appreciated that quality before any material asset.

362. Pinky, what a precious moment you experienced with your friend, not only for you and her, but for all of us who read your delightful and joy filled blog. I smiled deeply when the saw the title and then began to read, as I had had a conversation only this morning about all us being the “same on the inside”, so to read what you wrote was a beautiful confirmation of what I had shared. Thank you.

363. I agree with you Pinky that we are ALL one and the same but on the outside we may look or seem different but in essence we are Equal. No one no matter what the do, say, think or have makes them any different in their inner most essence.
     Our world has moved away from this core wisdom and there is a huge division with colour, gender, race, culture and religion to name a few.
     I like the question you pose about what if we could see people with our feelings and not our eyes? When we look through our eyes we miss the essence as we are looking out at the outside stuff and miss the real core of who this person is which in Truth is exactly the same as us in every way.
     Thank You Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for bringing me a deeper understanding of what Truth actually is and feeling others instead of seeing them and judging them.

     1. Our eyes get fooled in a way that our heart never can.

364. ‘What if we just saw people through the way we felt with them, not with our eyes’, this would certainly change a lot, Pinky. I love what you have written about connecting to your friend as an absolute equal, rather than judging her or singularly associating her with her nationality, race, religion etc. The latter has created a lot of separation in the world!

365. Thank you Pinky for your wonderful reminder that we are all One. Not only are we connected to each other, we are connected to nature, the stars and the Universe, it is only our physicality that we let get in the way, we just have to see past that and feel the joy of being part of a greater whole.

366. Those moments of deep connection with another human being are so precious aren’t they? Are they not what we all live for? It is true that sometimes it is easier to appreciate beauty in another rather than beauty in ourselves but I am left wondering after reading this blog that maybe we cannot fully connect to and appreciate another’s inner beauty which lies underneath the exterior of physical appliance, religious beliefs, culture, social status and behaviours, if we do not connect with our own inner beauty? Maybe this is why there is so much conflict and competition in the world? Self-worth is so under-rated.

367. Beautiful Pinky, I love the gorgeous cute playful feeling you shared with your friend on your walk. The love between you is palpable, and it is so very lovely to acknowledge it and appreciate it and know that this is possible between any two human beings, simply because we are all the same on the inside. Just gorgeous!

368. I loved reading of your deep sharing with your friend. A moment of true reflection and love as well as a confirmation we are all as one. Gorgeous!

369. Thank you for sharing the magic of truly experiencing that ‘We are all one and the same on the inside.’

370. It was lovely to feel the joy you felt with your friend through your words Pinky. For me when I am feeling great in myself, and then see someone else who is also feeling great it makes me smile and it’s a confirmation of that oneness. If I’m not feeling great, other peoples joy is a reminder that I am not connected to me.

371. The playfulness and connection can be felt reading this, Pinky, and it is lovely to read how simple life can be, if we choose to feel we are one and all, thank you 🙂 And yes I agree, “We are all part of a jigsaw puzzle called Humanity and this puzzle cannot be complete without every single piece being connected.”

     1. and we can be playful with finding our place in the puzzle, the place where we truly find in and support the all in becoming a vivid picture.

372. This article is a joy to read and these words are pleasure to behold “We were physically two, but walking as one, enjoying and being inspired by each other.” I have had this experience when threes no separation with another, it feels great. It does not occur all the time, although I feel that we are all of the same essence it does happen frequently and it shows me that I can live this way. As I learn to let go of my issues and hurts I am finding that I am more open and able to feel this connection with others.

373. Boys have it programed into them to go forth and make your mark on the world! How ME is that? By being love and to look into the eyes of another and to make that same connection with them transcends all that that person is on the outside, you become colour blind and the judgment switch in your head turns off and all that is left is that warm yummy feeling of shared love.

374. When we look with our eyes we can see what we expect to see from the outer appearance when we choose to feel and receive what is there to be felt from within there is so much more and the love that is within everyone is in us too.

375. Individualism is admired, fostered and rewarded in society yet it goes completely against our true nature, as you so beautifully and lovingly express Pinky.

376. This is very beautiful to feel, we are indeed all the same inside. When in this knowing there can be no comparison only love.

377. This really is a great sharing Pinky, how long will it take us to get to the point where we all know, that we are one and that the outer is superficial and a creation by the spirit, so that comparison and competition can keep us further from feeling the beauty in ourselves and others.

378. HI Pinky what you have shared with us all is absolutely beautiful. I too have also experienced this most gorgeous inner joy with others. Just ‘feeling’ and ‘being’ held in the presence of another, it felt like an unspoken deep expansive love, no holding back and no guards to let down as trust came so naturally with that ‘magic of knowing’ and deep connection. This connection felt like a ‘coming home’ to something experienced before – a knowing that this is life in fullness of who we truly are. As one. Equal.

379. Beautiful to read Pinky, for me it is still at times a knowing that we are all the same in my head, but reading this blog and your experience made me get a deeper grasp of the fact that, yes we are all the same inside and what this feels like.

380. This is a beautiful sharing, how just by allowing you were able to experience this beautiful time and space, and by being able to appreciate the moment you were able to embody it. It is beautiful when we appreciate and embody the experience, how it resonates throughout the body. That’s confirmation that we are all equal on the inside no matter what colour or physicality on the outside.

381. This is gold you bring Pinky. Feeling from the inside out, from our amazingness into the amazingness of the other we are able to feel that we are all equally the same. We have to learn to see truth with our eyes, but the filtered glasses we are still looking through makes it difficult for us to see the actual truth, so for the moment it is best to start relying on our feelings instead, as these are not filtered as the body cannot lie.

382. ‘ What if we just saw people through the way we felt with them, not with our eyes, but with our feelings? Then the beauty we see with our eyes would be an expansion of what is already felt, and a confirmation.’ I agree, Pinky, if we choose to feel the truth and love in people we would see nothing but the beauty these people are. If I am connected to my own truth, I also am able to see nothing but my beauty. Your article is a reminder for this equalness in us all.

383. “Would there be any hatred, comparison, jealousy, physical or verbal violence, conflicts or even war, if we chose to feel and see that the beauty in others lives in us too?” Pinky I love how you have expanded the joyful connection and appreciation that you felt with your friend to encompass the whole of humanity.

384. Pinky something is not truly known until it is confirmed in the body. Your story illustrates this beautifully. You had said and heard that we are all one and the same but what confirmed this for you was feeling it in your body. Glorious.

385. Ahhh, this is a beautiful blog, Pinky.
     “What If we just saw people through the way we felt with them, not with our eyes, but with our feelings?”
     We would all blossom like beautiful flowers.

386. The beauty of knowing is even without a reflection of the grandness of love that we are from the outside, we still have that within us, and being that, we become the reflection that we wish to see.

387. Simply magic Pinky. “We are all part of a jigsaw puzzle called Humanity and this puzzle cannot be complete without every single piece being connected.” We are all parts of a universal puzzle. We may be all different shapes, sizes etc but we are still always connected together. Stunning thank you.

388. Same, same, no different – I enjoyed this new take and it reflects the truth expressed in this blog, as everything that is different is only held together through a tension in a limited existence that we may find ourselves in but are not of.

389. I can feel the love in what you write Pinky. The grandness of love that I know myself to be has been a moment of such deep love felt when with another, and the knowing in my body that this is the love that I am. All the love that I have felt and seen in another comes from the love within me.

390. “Would there be any hatred, comparison, jealousy, physical or verbal violence, conflicts or even war, if we chose to feel and see that the beauty in others lives in us too?”
     A very relevant and apt question Pinky and I feel we can answer it with a resounding No.
     How gorgeous and simple our lives would be if we truly saw the beauty that lives in others living in us. Seeing and appreciating the beauty and divinity in us all; how amazing!
     Your message here is so powerful and wise Pinky, thank you.

     1. This makes me aware Shirl that we have all invested in our differences, very deeply. When we make everything out of our differences we have someone/lots of someones to blame. This can be reflected in the small scale of conflict at home or at work…or the massive conflict that explodes in war and atrocity.
        What if…just as we are all one….the conflict at whatever scale it expresses is all one?
        So what then do we have to gain by not surrendering to our oneness? Our perfection in unity? Is it this that keeps us justified in our hatreds and animosity, our blame and our victimhood?
        These are questions for us to answer as individuals (a funny concept when we actually are not) and as community.
        So much to contemplate deeply.

391. Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience, Pinky. Such a joy is felt in your words. So true we very often let our sight be the judge before the feeling gets any chance for its say. Our eyes are very quick to dart and chase after images to form an opinion, instead of just receiving what is.

392. This is beautiful Pinky, thank you for sharing your experience with your friend.

393. The type of ‘seeing’ to which you refer here, Pinky, is completely different in quality and source to the seeing we have been taught to utilise. Usually we see people and situations through a veil of images of how things should look or be, and then we measure the correlation of the person with the internally fixed image to see what percentage of accuracy they ‘score.’ Your lovely experience demonstrates how, by connecting with self and with the other person, and by feeling the value within each other, a natural confirmation and appreciation of each’s beauty and true worth arises: how beautiful is that!

394. “…. we can choose to see that there could be another way to see things – a way that is without the need of relying solely on what our eyes see!” I would say, “Yes!” we can indeed choose a different way of seeing people by connecting with the essence of each other before we allow the mind to kick in with its programmed judgements and images of ideal ways for people to look. Gorgeous blog, Pinky. Thank you.

395. Simply brilliant sharing Pinky, This should be read out at a United Nations summit meeting!

     1. Great point Jo, a very good idea!

396. Thankyou Pinky for your blog, you make many wonderful points that I will come back to and work with. I love the line “Could it also be that we are taught to see only the physical differences and live in separation from everyone – and even from ourselves?” This is so true, when we are in any form of comparison what we don’t realise is we are in separation from ourselves. Appreciating others is a confirmation of what we all hold, no one can be truly better or less than ourselves. Your blog expresses a beautiful foundation of unity we can all have with one another. It’s a beautiful way to be in relationship to others and with ourselves.

397. The more I feel we are the same, the more I feel it. This is very beautiful. Imagine if we could live like this all the time, in such appreciation of ourselves and others. We can change the world one moment at a time as our brothers wake up to just how beautiful they are.

398. It’s true that we’re all beings underneath our differentiated surface appearance, our sounds, cultures, nationalities and ideals and beliefs. Were we to get beyond the superficial and not get influenced, sidetracked or prejudiced by the differentiation, then you’re right, many of mankind’s big ticket woes would just disappear – the wars, the conflict, the terrorism, the genocide. We are so hard wired to go into comparison, jealousy, fear and hatred because of the ideologies we are brought up under, that we get little exposure to the oneness of everything, the unifying nature of life that binds us all.

     1. And Cathy isn’t it amazing that underneath all the hard wiring is a constant pulse of our essence forever unchanged by that we fall for on the outside. Amazing Grace.

399. We are not defined by our looks, our actions, our behaviours and our hurts. Our essence is love – that is who we are. The rest (the ‘clothes’) are choices that we make, both true and not true. When we commit to seeing the love that we are and the love within others, we can’t help but feel connected because we all come from the same source. We are the same, just with slightly different expressions.

     1. Spot on Carmin! An openness of heart that comes from us not defining ourselves by our looks, actions, behaviours or hurts allows that deeper connection. As Pinky has shared, when we go to express with honesty the connection we feel, then it is like the world opens up to us.

400. Wow, Pinky, this is a gorgeous blog. I love this paragraph “How different would it be if we lived in a world of feeling connected to others and sharing love and harmony; a world where we enjoy each other’s presence and reflections, and are inspired by each other? This frees us of any comparison to another and allows us just to be in acceptance and appreciation, knowing we are the same. We are all part of a jigsaw puzzle called Humanity and this puzzle cannot be complete without every single piece being connected.” What an amazing world this would be to live in, if we all lived with this connection and realization, there could be no violence, corruption, war, and all the other ugly things that we have in our present world. Let’s all of us who have experienced anything like what you have described, live it to the hilt, take it out into the world, and slowly, slowly, maybe it will make a difference in our present sorry, sad world. Maybe this will be a ‘catching’ epidemic of discovery that we are all truly one and the same within.

     1. Beautifully expressed Beverley, I am in total agreement.

401. Thank you Pinky for your beautiful sharing of your experience with your friend. I can feel in me the naturalness of your experience and the joy of the awareness of this naturalness. It’s funny isn’t it, sometimes we can feel we ‘want’ this, and ‘try’ and grasp it so to speak, but in the trying the truth of the feeling just dissapates, you can’t fake it. It seems from many lives of perhaps not being aware of the gorgeous reflections that are there all around us we may tend to shrivel and shrink a little bit when we go into ‘trying’ to be anything. It seems the experience of atonement is in the letting go and letting God be all in expression could be a good starting point.

402. I love this Pinky. When we do allow gorgeous space between us and another and let this fill up with what we are feeling, we can feel how we truly one and the same.

403. The real heart to heart!!

     1. How absolutely true Jaime.

     2. Yes Jaime.

404. It is important to accept our own beauty as much as we allow ourselves to see it in others, no one more or less than another, just with different choices surrounding our essence.

     1. Yes Fiona, self acceptance and acceptance of our own beauty is the key to being able to see it in others.

        1. There is immense power in the truth of these words.

        2. Have you also found the more you accept your own beauty the more everyone else becomes more beautiful and more open in their expression of their love, whether that be a ‘stranger’ on the street or a colleague or a dear friend, everything is enhanced when we love ourselves.

405. This is really awesome to feel what you have expressed Pinky as I feel so often in life that we can tend to focus on our differences. But when you take a moment to recognise that innately we are all the same, these differences slide away, they are in fact more often then not just a slightly different flavour or twist of the same love we hold within. It is a great awareness to have because the moment you connect to it, all separation, distance and difference just slides away.

406. Pinky you have turned me into mush with your description of your experience with your friend, so utterly gorgeous. You have written a very insightful piece here that really gets to the very heart of why we have all of the problems that we do in the world. None of our problems would exist if we all actually felt the truth of life, which is that we are not only all the same on the inside but we are all actually all divisions of the one God which also means that there is actually only one of us. How could we even argue with another if we saw that other as who they actually are……..us.

     1. Too true Alexis. If we actually saw that we are all connected, then when we argue or inflict pain toward another, we are hurting ourselves back! If we could not imagine but feel it, we would be living a very different kind of life, in fact the world would be a beautiful harmonious place to be living in. It can start with one (each one of us) living and connecting to beauty in us and others and expand from there.

     2. Thank you Pinky and Alexis, I agree, we are all equally the sons of God, and when we share that same love as he brings to us, we also live that love, then love is so easily seen and felt in others.

407. Thank you Pinky, for presenting the difference between seeing and judging, and feeling and recognising that you are both the same. It is true, we are all the same particles, anatomy, physiology, and Soul/spirit that inhabits a body that we have made to be separate or ‘individual’ from others; to ‘stand out’ or ‘to hide away’. There will be a day for that brotherhood and harmony in all of humanity’s interactions, however it can begin with us, and we can experience this with everyone we meet and interact with…we have a job/divine role, and what a way to change the world, as inspired by Serge Benhayon who continuously does so.

     1. This is beautiful Arianne. We really are a body through which the soul can play. It does not mind what those bodies look like, it is only us that chooses to be hidden away, bombastic, whatever our little game is. The soul’s nature is brotherhood. It sees not the differences, only that we are one and the same in our essence.

     2. A loved that too Arianne, the different ways in which we can see and therefore perceive another. How amazing is it that we actually have a choice in this.

408. Gorgeous Pinky. It is really heartwarming and expanding when you have one of those experiences that takes you deeper into the understanding that we are all one in essence. The joy and love you felt in your walk with your friend is the joy and love we can feel everyday by connecting to our fellow man and being open to the one unified truth.

     1. and all this was felt in 5 minutes!

     2. So true Jo. We can have the feeling of oneness, equality and connection equally with a friend or someone we don’t know.

        1. That’s right Lee, these qualities come from how we are within and with ourselves, that cannot help but be shared with another.

409. Thank you for sharing Pinky and expressing how we are all the same no matter what appearance we may have. Sometimes it is easy to forget this.

     1. Agreed James, it is sometimes easy to forget what we all truly are when we are identified by what we see on the outside, but ah, how amazing it is when we feel people for who they truly are, and feel that we are all the same…!

        1. I agree Angela. There are many more similarities between people than there are differences, but we tend to focus on the differences rather then recognising all the similarities. At our essence, we are all the same and come from the same source.

        2. Yes Angela the eye can sometimes trick us for what we see but when we feel people from the heart that is amazingly expanding and that is love in its pure form. Its the real equaliser.

        3. How true Lee, we do tend to focus on the differences between ourselves and others, I am going to take that into my day today, to focus on the similarities, how beautiful.

        4. I agree Angela, it is beautiful, it means that instead of trying to compare with others we can be inspired by them. It also means we do not need to prove ourselves to anyone because how can we prove anything if we are all the same?!

     2. Well said Mary. It is something I love about the Universal Medicine Community how there are so many people from so many different backgrounds yet we all get on. What is fascinating is that when everyone is at a course giving or receiving a session everyone feels the same – which goes to show how we are all the same once we let go of any pictures of ideals about how we think we should be.

410. A very inspring blog Pinky. I know that for me comparison and individuality was firmly ingrained into me from the word go, as I believe is the case for most people. So to truely feel equality and oneness with another must be such a beautiful experience. And what a relief to get away from the tension that comparison brings and feel the openess and love that we all are by connecting to each other’s essence and knowing that all the other differences are just an illusion.

     1. “I know that for me comparison and individuality was firmly ingrained into me from the word go”, unfortunately, Eleanor, most of us of an older vintage were brought up this way, I know I was. I was brought up to feel somewhat fearful of people from many other countries, e.g. dark people, or of a different religion, e.g. catholic, it was really ingrained into us. But I must say, I never really felt that was true, and I dearly loved a little black doll I had that was called ‘Topsy’. There was always something there deep within me that just knew we were all equal, so I never really took on those fears of ‘the other’ that I was brought up with thank goodness. Now I know even more certainly that we are truly all one and the same, all equally God’s children, with a responsibility to be living that.

411. Gorgeous sharing Pinky. So much so that when every person embraces the truth we realise we are all the same on the inside, how we live together will become loving and harmonious!

412. “We are all part of a jigsaw puzzle called Humanity and this puzzle cannot be complete without every single piece being connected.”
     I felt the truth and simplicity of this stupendous statement Pinky, imagine the harmony, joy and celebration of life and how we would live as one humanity if we were all to embrace this fact?

     1. Totally agree Thomas, this was also the sentence that stood out for me as being very powerful, but at the same time simple and all embracing of the truth. The jigsaw of humanity will not be complete until every single person is contributing the part that only they can bring.

     2. Yes, we actually complete each other. This is the complete opposite of living life in competition and separation from one another. In the first – we are all one team, one whole; and the second, we are ‘up against’ every other person in this world. It makes no sense whatsoever, and yet, it has been our reality.

     3. Yes it will be amazing when we all truly embrace being part of the connectedness of the jigsaw of Humanity.

413. Love as a foundation has no barriers, and unites us all.
     Thank you pinky for such beautiful sharing showing us that deep within we are all divinely beautiful and the joy that can be felt when this is embraced and lived. What an awesome reflection and inspiration of love you are for all to see and feel.

     1. It is amazing how we let our barriers drop and let our hearts be open, how this will stop others in their tracks. As you say pinky, we are like apples, often of different colouring and looks. But inside we are the same, the same organs, the same colour blood ad the same feelings, all longing to reconnect back to the love we already are.

     2. Thank you Pinky and lorettarap, I agree, a true Livingness in expression.

414. Gorgeous Pinky. When reading your blog I was really struck by how much we do judge on outside appearances and spend time focusing on how we are different and how separate that indeed does keep us. But when you can connect – as you did so beautifully with your friend – on a heart level – you realise that we are all the same on the inside. That is why I love smiles with strangers because you share a moment of being you and being together really simply and that there is a love and a desire to connect.

     1. I agree sarahflenley, when we connect, it is amazing how we just know that we are all the same on the inside. I too love it when I exchange a smile with a stranger, again, I can feel that amazing connection, that confirmation that we are truly all one and the same.

     2. So true Sarah, we are all yearning for connection and opening our hearts to one another, even those people we may only fleetingly meet is so enriching. I love how Pinky describes the way in which we can use our eyes, we can either choose to discriminate or to connect, the choice is ours but when we are connected to our inner love, that is what we offer when we take that moment to fully connect with another person’s eyes. So much can be shared in such a simple act.

415. Hi Pinky, the differences between the people of each race are greater than the difference between all the different races.
     It is hard to get love and harmony in one extended family. If we could achieve this in one entire race we could reflect it back to all of the races.
     It is about all of us appreciating diversity, equality.

     1. I agree Nicholas. It cam seem like a big job – a world of harmony, but beginning with ourselves and within our own families is a great place to start. The simple experience Pinky has shared will have affected everyone she and her friend came into contact with that day and even beyond. I am learning to appreciate that these small golden moments are powerful beyond what we can fathom.

416. Thank you Pinky for this gorgeous and powerful sharing. When we look through our hearts eyes the truth of love that we receive is immeasurable. As in Love we are all equal, all Sons of God, simply expressing through our different bodies, and so in different ways. It is so true that acceptance and appreciation for who we essentially are, of the love that we are within is key. So then the point from which we look or feel, is a point of love from our inner-heart, which we then can expand through sharing and expressing the truth that is felt and already known within. When we reflect this to each other, it is a blessing of the love we know we are, a blessing that is truly magical.

     1. Gorgeously said, Carola: “So then the point from which we look or feel, is a point of love from our inner-heart, which we then can expand through sharing and expressing the truth that is felt and already known within.” Yes, this truth is known within us all, can be felt by us all and can be expressed by us all – and then expanded by us all. What an amazing job we all have! Truly beautiful!

417. Your analogy with the apples is simply brilliant! If we appreciate each other in this way our world will definitely be more harmonious.

418. That is beautiful Pinky!

419. Wow Pinky, this is an exquisite blog, I love it, love it and deeply inspiring. ‘We are all part of a jigsaw puzzle called Humanity and this puzzle cannot be complete without every single piece being connected.’ This is absolutely incredible, so true and it is so confirming to read this, as we are definitely all part of the whole. Brilliantly expressed Pinky, I have to say again, I love it and Thank You!

420. So so gorgeous Pinky, thank you for the reminder and reflection of the beauty that we all equally are.

     1. and how we are all the same and that we can definitely be with each other without walls of separation when we allow ourselves first to feel the love for ourselves and then naturally with everybody else. The same tenderness, preciousness is in everybody else as well.

     2. Thank you Pinky and Giselle, I agree, who needs a mirror when there are so many people reflecting the beauty of who we are.

421. That is so beautiful Pinky and such an amazing realisation to embody and fully know, from the inside out that what we love in another is equally within us all. We hold so many differences up as barriers between one another, ways to defend ourselves from feeling hurt and rejected. Learning to appreciate ourselves and all we meet rather than judge and compare paves the way to truly understanding and then truly experiencing the e-quality within us all. Self acceptance is vital but also the willingness and ability to see beyond the ‘cover’ and know that we all feel the same because we all come from the same essence, the Love of God.

422. I felt your sweet playfulness and the joy in what you both shared Pinky just right here in your writing. It is contagious. I felt that I could be walking with you. Thank you for sharing.

423. Such a lovely experience shared in joy and celebration Pinky, thank you. The more we pare ourselves down from external experience the more we are the same as everyone else. Take away the clothes, the mental constructs, all the ideals and beliefs, shed the skin, hair and eye colour and physical form and just like the apple, by the time you get to the core and seeds one apple would be pretty difficult to distinguish from another. At this level it would be absolutely natural to accept them all as equal no matter what colour skin or flavor they had

424. To see our connection and essence within all others is only a ‘choice’ away. In a world that fosters and celebrates independence and differences, we can choose to feel, look deeper and know that in truth we are all the same and reflect this in our livingness. Thank you for sharing your joy in this discovery Pinky.

425. Thank you for sharing this experience of true equality Pinky. People often put lip service to equality or talk about equality but it often comes with seeing someone else as better and then trying to make another equal to that someone. It does not come from the basis of truly knowing that we are equal. In addition to this feeling of true equality, is knowing that we all come from the same source, and that this essence is within in us all.

426. Thank you Pinky, what a great breakdown of how we can each connect with that. I had a picture of what fragile and girly looked like and it was, on the whole, small and willowy – yet I know many young people who have this fragility and ‘girliness’, many adults too, and they are certainly not short, small or willowy! The are tall, some with strong, hard muscles, some quite large with very few muscles! Yet, what I feel in them all since considering how similar we all are, is that the outer does not reflect the inner. However hard this exterior is – no matter how it is dressed up – there is an essence inside that remains unchanged. It is extraordinary to look beyond what we see with our eyes, from the space of feeling us all as the same, to see the behaviour that can come from the elements that have made up that exterior, remembering this exterior is not them at all! Fragility, playfulness, love, joy, girliness is inside us all if we only choose to feel beyond what our eyes can see. Then of course there is the understanding that it is in us too!

     1. I like how you describe the fragile and girly look. There is an innocence to what Pinky and you Lucy, have described here that has a strength to it with a side order of tenderness!

427. I love this Pinky, you have really nailed ‘reflection’ here. To add to this if we judge another what is that judgement telling us about ourselves?

428. I really love the way you describe feeling exactly the same as another. The world seems like a far more loving place when the ‘differences’ we perceive are stripped away. Everything seems so much easier and simpler when the weight of comparison is removed.

     1. Yes, it is such a relief it simply melts you into One. That is the reason we hold onto comparison, because it keeps us separate and identifiable – it seems hard to let go of self.

429. ‘Would there be any hatred, comparison, jealousy, physical or verbal violence, conflicts or even war, if we chose to feel and see that the beauty in others lives in us too?’ – Absolutely not Pinky. Imagine the difference it would make even if we had half this amount of connection that you felt with your friend.

430. Hello Pinky. What a beautiful reminder that we are all the same, that we are all one. “Could it be that we recognise all the love, joy and playfulness we see in others, we just don’t acknowledge that we also have them in us too?” The more we appreciate that we have these qualities within ourselves, the more we then recognise and appreciate these qualities in others.

     1. Well said Donna, It is appreciating it in us that then allows us to also see it (truly see it) in others. We can’t have one without the other – which leads us back to the Oneness that Pinky has shared. Everything is so beautifully woven together.

     2. Well said Donna, we have to appreciate ourselves 1st and what we bring and then can also appreciate and value others rather than always constantly trying to compete with and out do others.

431. How ironic that the very vision we cherish is making us blind to the true beauty we all are. It’s a pleasure Pinky to walk with you, read your words here and to feel they are mine too.

432. Pinky I just loved reading this. Recently was at a gathering and my friend held my hand – I felt just how cute we both are. It makes total sense we are all the same- so the gorgeousness I see in another is actually who I am too -makes jealousy and comparison non sensical!

     Reading your article I can feel the love we all are and can choose to be always. I feel such a release of tension -the protection I hold myself in – my constant critique of myself and others. This is where jealousy and comparison can take a hold- my vying to be better or trying to avoid any incoming jealousy which is more a comment on me than anyone else: knowing my being jealous and assuming others are the same.

     So what a beautiful feeling to put down the armour and let the love of others in and appreciate and get to know the love that I am too.

433. It is the biggest lie we are told, when our individuality is championed over our equality and commonalities as human beings. The division that has been created is a scourge on our humanity. Thank God for Serge Benhayon and his leadership in revealing the breadth and depth of this deception. Thank you Pinky for a great example of the unity that comes from recognising that we are all the same on the inside!

     1. Absolutely bernadetteglass, individualism and separatism is the biggest lie we have been sold. And we all bought it believing that it would somehow match up to the glory and divinity of the unified whole that we come from. Like some dodgy second hand car we are still trying to keep it on the road despite its obvious major flaws and spending millions and loads of time trying to repair it and improve it when really we just need to admit we were sold a dud and move on and back to original beautiful way of life and living that we once had.

        1. Well said andrewmooney26. I love the analogy of the car. It reminds me of another saying describing something similar – ‘trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear!’ The level of trying that we have put into making something untrue, work causes us untold damage to our health and social fabric, because it is doomed to start with. We witness this every day on a global scale and also when we develop an attachment to any outcome. Thank you, great conversation!

434. Thank you Pinky. So beautiful that you allowed yourself to surrender to what is truly there, to feel safe enough to let go of protection to experience the feeling of oneness that we all are but never really allow ourselves to feel. Separation is an illusion, one we work on everyday to maintain. The separation feeds comparison, jealousy and competition which will never serve us, as we are all amazing, as we all come from the same place therefore hold an equal essence within. Thank you for sharing.

435. We all come from the same divine source, so we can’t be different. We do make different choices and these have their effects. We are not only all the same and come from the same source we are also all connected to each other and have the same communication from God each moment.

     1. So true and the day we make that our Livingness war will be impossible, because how can you fight your own brother.

        1. Absolutely, Judith, once we make this our Livingness war will be impossible. Also the way we treat each other and ourselves will shift from the hardness and judgments we have to allowing our natural tenderness out.

436. Pinky, thank you for sharing your experience, yes, ‘We are all part of a jigsaw puzzle called Humanity and this puzzle cannot be complete without every single piece being connected.’ Each one of us complements the others, so we have to be the same on the inside.
