I have been a master of lending my body in the service of others – of allowing others to do what they need to do with it to survive. I have seen my body as something that is not just for me, but also for everyone – in a way that has been at the great expense of me.
I would never knowingly abuse another person, or allow another to be abused, but I have willingly accepted abuse from others, and have certainly abused myself.
I have done this in many ways: in my role as the ‘good daughter’, ‘always available lover’, ‘do-anything-for-you friend’, ‘24/7 mother’, ‘caring doctor’ and ‘devoted wife’.
Well, all that is about to change.
My body is not just a vessel for myself or others to use as they will and discard when they are done.
My body is not just flesh, blood and bone that will die with me.
My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.
I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.
Knowing this, changes everything. It makes life far less personal, and far more lovely and grand. It makes it easier to see the big picture, and the part that I play in it. It makes me stop and think before I do anything that may harm – me or anyone or anything else.
What sort of food will support this space in the universe?
What type of drink will I let flow through its vessels and into its every cell?
What kind of thoughts will I allow in here?
How will I move these particles that make me up?
Am I truly appreciating what I have been given here?
When I see myself in this way, I see myself as God. Not in a mad or grandiose way, but as a matter of fact. These particles come from God and are God. So I am God too. And so are you.

Our Universal Relationship: Have We Checked Our Inbox Lately?
Essence
The Truth about Universal Medicine 
Spot on Brendan, how different all our relationships would be and our understanding of life if we lived responsible lives – a flow on effect that supports everyone.
Living with this awareness brings a greater responsibility to what our true purpose is, without it we can easily harm and abuse the body and move further away from our connection to divinity and God.
A great reminder of the responsibility we have over the space we allow our body to be in, and how important our choices are, because they all come back to the body.
We tend to think that our bodies are new, freshly made. Yet, they are made of particles that were there since the beginning of times and who have been part of many physical bodies so far. When we consider the body as a new thing, there is a sense of belonging: we belong to a race and a family. When we look at the particles, a truth gets revealed: we belong to (and are part of) the universe. We were, are and will be universal beings.
‘My body is made of particles of the Universe’ … so there is so much more to how we are with it than just our own mere convenience and that of others. It asks the question how do we treat God, for our bodies are of God.
Seeing our body as space in the Universe and therefore how important it is to take care of this space. Stunning. Now that is what I call claiming ✨
Wow this gives a completely different viewpoint on how we see our bodies, if we considered our bodies this way I’m pretty sure all our standards would change, how could you mistreat something made of particles that comes from ancient stars in the universe?
AM your writings are stunning. How can we ever dishonour walking the Godliness we innately are through our divinely constellated bodies, to let through the vibration of Heaven to light up this world.
It feels ok to lend our body to others when we don’t really know what else to do, but in my experience that is a very bad idea.
“My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter”.
And
“These particles come from God and are God. So I am God too. And so are you”.
Made me feel teary in how we dishonour and disrespect our bodies, when we are much more than this.
AM – I have loved what you have shared here, it is true we give our bodies away to many things other than the sacredness it originates from. I think this blog was timely for me as I was wondering about what I was doing or living as it feels so exhausted with everything. The a-ha moment, who am I in all of this that goes around me.
“I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe.” A beautiful understanding of our responsibility as part and particle of the Universe.
To connect with the feeling of our particles… This is such a wonderful experience… it sounds so ephemeral, and yet it is clear and concise, profound and connecting… A feeling of the wonder of the connection with God
We have given our body away for aeons! We have given them away to be trashed and used by forces that have nothing to do with Love – simply because the human spirit wants its way. Time to say ‘no’ to all this abuse and lead the way back home.
Such an expansive way to look at ourselves, AM – the fact that we are so much more than flesh and bone and that we are made up of particles that belong to the universe.
I agree HM – it is not so easy to indulge in our differences when we consider the possibility that in essence we are far more kindred that we think.
We belong to God, every Cell.
There is nothing like reading text and pondering on the grandness that we are. Who would believe we have the same make up as God. It is in fact the science of the universe that evolution is about expanding space – expanding the space in our bodies. How do we do that? Through healing and not harming ourselves …
One of the most profound and beautiful experiences that we can have is to feel this deep and abiding connection with every part of this… This amazing body, and this really is an experience of the particles of God
How beautiful that one line became change our lives… Just imagine if we all lived in a way that the quality of our expression became so powerful that this happens all around us all the time… This is not a pipe dream but an absolute possibility if we so choose.
A powerful reminder of the love we can return to ourselves at any given moment – by acknowledging our physical body as the divine vessel that it is. Abuse in the world today as it plays out in its myriad of grotesque forms is the mere final result of the original seed of abuse we plant in ourselves – to ignore, dis-regard and disrespect the body we enhouse during this incarnation, a body that has been given to us by God.
Perhaps we do not generally consider that we are interconnected with everything and do not ‘own’ anything because we are wanting to avoid the responsibility of what this means. If we instead keep thinking that ‘it is just about me and I own this body’ we can avoid being responsible and completely oblivious to everyone and everything else…
The truth of our being delivered in one simple sentence. Thank you AM.
“These particles come from God and are God. So I am God too. And so are you”.
Wow that was some healing session! I am so humbled reading what you have delivered AM. This supports a greater understanding and awareness of our responsibility to nurture and honour our bodies and see them as precious and stunning and beautiful as we do when we look at the stars.
We have degraded what physicality can be, we see the body as a vehicle we literally take for a joy-ride like a rented car. We can be rough with it, push it to the limit, and use it however we like for our personal desires. We even stuff it with food, drinks and other things we know are toxic for us. However, when we understand the body as part of the Universe it’s value and purpose is completely different, it’s a precious part of the all, and a vessel for sacredness. It’s a completely different relationship when we bring it back to our particles understanding that they are a part of the Universe.
“I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.” I love these words thank you AM it takes out the personal, it makes me realise how great the responsibility I have in being a part of the grand scheme of the universe, and the importance of the lovingly caring for my body as part of my connection.
Beautifully said AM, we are a complete replica of God, therefore we are God.
‘My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time.’ This is a beautiful reminder AM, knowing this is a game changer and brings a level of responsibility to deeply love and respect our bodies as this supports and deepens the connection to our Soul and to the whole Universe.
There is clearly a greater purpose to us being here on earth together, and it is through our connection to our body that our greatest potential will be realised. Our bodies enhouse our Soul, the spark of God we are, and it through our bodies that we come to realise our union with God, the universe and all is and inseparable fact, and we are here to live the truth of who we are. As such all that we do has a great effect on all.
Hear hear Carola, a perfect example of delivering truth and knowing from your Soul.
Very beautiful and powerful message AM.. This is our greatest responsibility as you said.
‘I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.’ Meaning the body.
For everyone to come back to this knowing and realization in his/her present day – and live by it.
It is interesting that we can truly claim our body back only when we are able to see life beyond physical.
Thank you AM for an inspiring article, “I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.” these words open up the enormous responsibility we have with how we treat our bodies and the effect it has on all around us which can be healing or harming depending on our choice.
I love it when someone is able to gain a new prospective on something that everyone is looking at, in this case you have brought through a new prospective on what the body really is. Is it more than just a body? Does it hold a grand purpose and are its cells actually working towards or for that purpose regardless of our awareness of it? It is a beautiful and all encompassing position to take and it makes those moments at the fridge so much easier, as the choice becomes about the whole and not about the individual.
Our body are a vessel that en-houses ether the divine relationship that we can have with God, which is being Soul-full, or the relationship most if not all of us have, which is disconnect to the truth about God and thus settle for the reinterpreted version of God by the spirit. In both cases we are seemly in a true relationship because we are a vessel for the energy. Which energy we allow is the energy we then are aligned to. The Soul gives us the understanding about the spirit but the spirit never lets us know the truth about the Soul.
I love what you have expressed here AM; a gorgeous reminder, thank you;
“I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.”
When I connect to the knowing that I am/we are all part of something so much grander than the mind can comprehend it brings the aliveness to my body, releases the tension imposed by thoughts and allows simplicity in the grandness to be present.
“I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.”
I love these words – so restoring of the truth, power, love and divinity we all have within us. When we live these words, we can no longer prostitute our body to be used for anything that is not in service to the divine plan – returning to the great love that we are and the responsibility we each have for reflecting this light divine. Personally, I would love to see these word’s replace the ‘lord’s prayer’ in schools across the globe (shall I duck for cover?!) – so deeply empowering for all.
This paragraph ‘leapt off the page’ on reading this blog. I love this – our particles being of universal order and always present, equally so, within everyone’s body. A confirmation that we are all universal, multi-dimensional beings, simply by the nature of the divine quality held in our particles. What a super huge, bigger picture this delivers.
“My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter”.
“My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.”This is so beautiful AM – and so true. Thus it is so important to take great care and look after our precious bodies with a deeply loving quality.
It is not only expensive for our bodies health and wellbeing to put others care before our own self-care but the quality of that care will always be undermined and even compromised because it is founded on a lack of care and regard for ourselves.
Seeing our bodies in this way, as particles of the Universe and coming from the stars, gives us a totally different perspective and inspires me to shine like the stars, feeling our interconnectedness and the joy that this responsibility can bring.
Owning a body that is just flesh and blood for us to do with as we will, or being a custodian of a body that is made up of divine particles are very different experiences. The first is all about the self as an individual, the second is about being part of the whole universe and understanding our every move affects the all.
“My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.” A humbling thought if ever there was one. And a deeply nourishing and inspiring one too. To understand we are custodians not owners of the body we live in really does take the personal out of it. I feel it so strongly – thank you for pointing it out AM.
Living with this knowing changes everything, “My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time.”, sometimes I choose to know and sometimes I don’t.
I love the questions that you pose AM that it is not just about the physical aspects of how I care for my body but also the thoughts that I choose and from there how I move through life, but for me the key one is the appreciation I am building for what I have been given and the more I appreciate the greater my commitment and consistency with taking care of the particles that I am currently the custodian of.
Deeply powerful title which encompasses the irony of how we hand our body over for others to use and abuse at our expense! When we recognise our responsibility to look after the particles in our body to be of service then it automatically follows that we will take greater responsibility for how we are with ourselves and our bodies which benefits everyone.
Ha – AM you share exactly how simple it is and how we are part of something big – Universe. Some fact we can not escape. What we are given by this fact is that we belong to a Universal Order. And a question for us all can then be asked: are we contributing to this divine Universal order or moving against it?
So simply explained how we are naturally part of God.
I can so relate to the opening paragraph, AM: ‘I have been a master of lending my body in the service of others – of allowing others to do what they need to do with it to survive. I have seen my body as something that is not just for me, but also for everyone – in a way that has been at the great expense of me.’ I am coming out of a long history of doing exactly what you describe here. My body was at the whim of all the forces flying around and I let that happen through indulging in contraction. I have come a long way, but as I get stronger, I see more and more detail in how I am continuing to do this in certain situations. How many more rounds around the sun will it take?
ha ha yes a throw away line that starts a wonderful healing process. Imagine that, our bodies as part of the universe. It offers an opportunity to think beyond the short term satisfaction to the senses of many of the foods and drinks we indulge in. When I consider the Universe, I get a sense of stillness, so do I foster that stillness in me or do I avoid it with sugar and other stimulants. Makes me stop and consider…what if…
Wow. When we can appreciate our body in this way, there’s no excuse not to give it as much love as we possibly can. And it makes self-love and self-nurturing so very impersonal.
We often think we are being loving or good or nice or even responsible when we put others ahead of ourselves but the truth is the opposite. It is actually abusive and irresponsible to allow or accept any abuse whatsoever and that includes to ourselves. True love holds everyone equal and considers the all.
Absolutely AM, I also know Michael Benhayon by these throwaway lines. He presents life in such truth and clear manner – that instantly those lines will remain in one’s mind when this is truly appreciated. Those lines for example like ‘back yourself ‘can go in such depth that one can truly heal and so be able to get into the next layer of awareness in evolution, by choice.
When we get ‘self’ out of the way and have an awareness of the bigger picture and The Plan – we know teamwork is required and that each one of us is important – but the whole even is more so. Then individualisation can be left behind.
Exquisite AM – every word rings true. Custodians we are, of a divinely constellated body of particles designed solely to be the vessel through which the light of our Soul, the light of God is lived on earth.
‘I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.’ Beautifully said AM, knowing this brings a level of responsibility in the choices I am making and if they are supportive and loving of myself and others.
Thank you for expressing as you have done so Anne. It is a grand and magnificent responsibility we have as custodians of particles that make up the universe.
What a gorgeous reminder AM that we are all God and come from God; our responsibility is to live this divinity in everything we do;
“When I see myself in this way, I see myself as God. Not in a mad or grandiose way, but as a matter of fact. These particles come from God and are God. So I am God too. And so are you”.
I love the strength that comes through from the words that make up the title of this blog. This morning I was reflecting on the fact that I have not had any days off sick from work this year. One main reason is that I have honoured and respected my body more. Instead of trying to be perfect in terms of getting everything done, I have allowed myself to be less than perfect in order to rest when I have felt to, and not push through and keep going at my bodies expense.
Yes, it is quite crazy to equate ‘never resting’ with perfection when we come to consider it.
Gorgeous reflection AM, one which I can so easily relate to. Such a powerful lesson that our particles are not ours, they come from God, they are God, we are god; such a simple divine truth.
How heavenly is it to feel that we are all divine particles of the universe that embody the breath of God. What an amazing responsibility we hold as custodians of our bodies to treat them with the utmost tender loving care. Sounds pretty cool to me.
‘I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.’ I love this, because it asks us to take responsibility for everything we do, and most of all how we are with ourselves.
Our body does belong to the Universe and has God throughout, so it is only natural that it supports us to return to this Truth. We are one with everything, and our bodies support us in so many ways to heal all that we have lived or are currently living that is not inline with this Truth. They do an amazing job with no pay, no holidays, and most of the time little to no appreciation. But they are tireless in their quest for us to return to a natural state of balance, one where we once again remember that we are from God and everything in the Universe and beyond.
“Our particles belong to the Universe” the magnitude of this understanding changes everything and gives us the responsibility to live in harmony with every other particle in the Universe.
‘I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.’ This sentence changes everything, it changes the way I look at myself, the relationship I have with my body and the way I look and see others. It stops life being about me and makes life about everyone.
The responsibility we have for our divine particles is huge and I am only just realising this. Our body may return to the earth but our divine particles are part of the greater universe and will flow into another being after I no longer walk this earth. This takes self responsibility to a whole new level. Great reflection, AM.
“My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.” beautifully expressed AM, thank you for sharing the divinity and preciousness of who we truly are and where we come from and for deepening my appreciation and responsibility.
‘I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.’ This made me ponder once more do I really appreciate what is given to me?
It is so amazing to feel that through our bodies and the particles it is made of, we are an equal part of the universe, the grander whole, the One and of God. That said, makes me humble and understand that it is not about me but about this whole constellation I am part of and this fills me with joy and gives purpose and responsibility to my life, a responsibility to bring all of the divinity and love I am into the world in whatever I do or wherever I am and need to be.
“I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe”. Thank you AB a beautiful fact I am taking with me into the day.
What I love about blogs like this is that they not only look at what food and drink you put into your body, they also explore how you are within your body – are you hard? are you racy? are you anxious? are you loving? how do you move within your body? etc… as they equally have an effect on the body.
Since I first read your inspiring blog AM, I have been regularly pondering on the particles that make up this wonderful body that has supported me for so long, and slowly I have been begun to feel the lightness and the ancientness of these particles and the connection to all that there is, from within me, around me and on out into the Universe. And as I connect more to these particles I am coming to honour and love this body that I abused for years, a body that is responding to this deeper level of care, and is now holding me more steadily than it has ever done.
Our body has to be so deeply cared for and treasured, because when we care for and treasure ourselves, all our particles are impacting the particles of this whole Universe. When we care for ourselves and love our body preciously, we are doing the same to everyone else. But we have mistaken that loving others we have to forget ourselves, even abuse it, in the big picture of the particles, that simply does not make sense. But I did not truly get this until my particles really screamed at me in a way that did not allow me to ignore them anymore, and no matter what, they just keep bringing me deeper to what is Love. I now choose to truly Love.
When we look at it like this, that we are made up of particles of the Universe and ask how would we support that then it brings a whole new perspective to it all, and allows me to see that I am part of something huge and that the part we all play in that hugeness is unique.
You have summed up our relationship with our body beautifully, we give it away to so many things which don’t support us but could choose differently if we knew how to make choices that come from self-love.
‘I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it’ This takes self responsibility to a whole new level: we are inextricable and magnificently linked to all others and how we treat our heavenly bodies affects the all. Understanding we are custodians of a sacred vessel supports us to change the relationship we have with our bodies.
What a magnificent and true way to look at our bodies. It opens up the universe to us and lets us see that there is so much more to us than we have made life to be. There is purpose and there is logic in life, the world, the whole universe. Undeniably so.
Am I truly appreciating what I have been given here? Love this question, and the others too, but this question I feel to ponder on and take into my day….. Thankyou AM for your divine expression.
I too have been a master of lending my body to others….. this left me exhausted and drained. And when this is your ingrained pattern, it is very difficult to break free from, simply because you have no energy to change things, being constantly drained. I broke free from this prison when I met Serge Benhayon and spent 10 days participating in Sacred Esoteric Healing courses. I have changed, my life has changed, and I am no longer exhausted or drained as I have much more awareness of taking care of myself first.
We are so much more than we think we are and through what you have presented here I can feel that universality is our natural way of being. Through our bodies we have access to untold wisdom that hold the truth of us all, and how we can live in harmony with the order of the universe that we all together are equally and inherently part of by virtue of the particles that make it possible for us to be here on earth.
We are the custodians of a truly sacred vessel that can either be honoured for what it is, or prostituted for what it is not. Thankyou AM for this divine reminder that we are so much more heavenly than we play ourselves to be. I love your words. Responsibility has never looked so sexy.
An awareness of God can be so simple… We can actually connect with our own bodies to the point where we can feel the interconnectedness with everything around us, where we lose that sense of separation that so drives people in their lives seeking here and there, where we feel an innate sense of harmony and connection that is reflected all-round within and without… This is really accessible to everyone… And yes it is simple.
It’s like renting a house. We are provided with a space to live in by the universe and eventually we will give that space back, but do we take notice of the quality that will be passed on or do we sub-let our home to everything and anything and sleep outside?
The truth that we are simply custodian’s of the particles that comprise our bodies is powerful as it supports us to take responsibility for the way we live.
Being something for someone in the expense of our bodies is disregard and abuse to ourselves, how do we even make this choice when it is so clear that it does not support us? It must come from a lack of sensitivity for no baby would endure any sort of pain when it is so open, which then must come from a hardening we have first chosen to put up as protection, so the question then would be what is it that we are not wanting to feel and express?
Considering the abuse that we heap on our own, and other people’s, bodies, this is indeed a revelation.
‘My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.
I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.’ This is deeply beautiful Anne. Knowing that we are custodians only of those particles brings a deeper responsibility to really care for them and not use and abuse them, imagining that there are no real consequences.
Handing over my body and my actions to the whims of everything and anything outside of me in the idea that this is what supporting others, is, has, and continues to blow up in my face. To put my body on the back burner for the sake of meeting a certain criteria, or because I have been told to by another, or I think this is what I should be doing, just doesn’t work. But when I put my body first and focus on its quality and how it feels to be even in the small details, that feeling is out of this world and then I don’t have to fuss or fret about how to be in life because when prepared my body just knows who, what, when, and where. We give ourselves away thinking that this is how we should, could, or have to work together, fit in or be liked or connected, but in actual fact it is the other way around, the more I connect to myself the more I connect to others and there is no need to give myself away, because there is more than enough to share without me feeling less or lacking, but in fact I grow from such experiences.
Thank you AM for a really great blog, one that inspires and awakens me to a greater sense of responsibility, that the particles that make up this body that I inhabit belong to the Universe therefore however I treat this body in every move I make reverberates throughout the Universe, with the greatness and simplicity of the greater whole of which I am a part.
Considering to be part of the universe and a custodian of the particles that form my body feels amazing to live with. This to me being aware of this fact takes away any possibility to abuse my body as when I do live in accordance with the origin of the particles my body is made of I live in the divine rhythm the universe is.
Nico, I love what you share here as there is a completely different flow in our bodies when we are moving and living with the universe rather than fighting against it.
If we do everything for everyone else but never for ourselves, then what we do for others cannot be carried through with love to the extent it will be when we care deeply for ourselves first.
We have a responsibility to the whole and that is what this article beautifully explores. Things get hard and life gets tough but we have to understand that no matter how many cakes we eat or movies we watch or nights out on the town that we have we cannot escape, we are hear to feel the undeniable fact that we are all connected and if you don’t want to feel it now, it does not mean that it is not going to keep knocking on the door to remind you, truth is eternal, as is love and as is god.
A perfect, timely reminder for me this morning. I knew last night I overrode my body and stayed up to respond to emails – it was only 30 minutes or so, but still I could feel the impact, the betrayal almost. Here I am reminded – in true self-care, there really is no self. Thank you, AM.
I realise when we hold the energy of connection, then move with this knowing we are reconfiguring our connective tissue to the Universality and aligning to the all. In contemplating this I feel an expansion beyond the limitations of the mind/ body to the infinite and unlimited state which is God in all.
There is a wonderful logic to this blog. Its a short journey from looking at the body we inhabit to seeing our part in the universe and gives a very different perspective.
This is beautiful to reread again, thank you AM. When we understand life and our bodies like this we are naturally connected to the simplicity and yet enormity of the universe.
Knowing this takes responsibility to a whole new level. The fact that we are custodians of the particles that make up our bodies, and will continue to make up bodies for many years to come. The realisation that these particles being from God, make us all equal parts of the universe and as a part of God, with this knowing, I choose to deepen my love for myself and humanity.
What you shared about the particles that make us up, and us being the custodians of them, awakens the responsibility we possess to embrace all we are and what we are capable of… inspiring and supporting us to truly appreciate and live the extraordinariness of both ourselves and what we are a part of. Deeply, deeply inspiring.
“I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.” This brings for me another level of understanding of the responsibility we have for how we treat our bodies when we appreciate that our particles are a part of the all.
Yes who would ever have thought that being ‘nice’ can be a subtle form of self-abuse and indeed control.
Wow this is a blog to print out and have on the fridge or by the bed, to go to bed to and wake up to. Feeling my particles now. Thank you.
I too am “claiming back my body”, a lot later than I could have, but for most of my life I simply didn’t allow myself to see and treat it as the preciously divine vessel that it is. The abuse I heaped on it and the abuse I allowed from others has now left me with a body that is needing to be lovingly rebuilt, needing the years of disregard healed, but I can feel that it is delighted that I finally have made the choice to love and respect it as it has always deserved.
The first thing I thought of when I started reading your blog was prostitution – in the negative sense where we do things for others in disregard of ourselves. I love the liking of our bodies as being vessels that are made up from particles from the universe, it feels confirming and asks us to be appreciative of this vessel we have as our vehicle here on earth.
More and more I am becoming aware how I allowed the abuse of my body, by staying silent and not only with no words but just to let things happen as if I had nothing to do with my body. It feels awful and it is just a game I have played. Now I have more awareness I have a choice to not only see what I see but to see the bigger picture. I am part of the Universe.
“I have done this in many ways: in my role as the ‘good daughter’, ‘always available lover’, ‘do-anything-for-you friend’, ‘24/7 mother’, ‘caring doctor’ and ‘devoted wife’.” It is interesting how the abuse of our bodies often gets hidden in a role and then is ‘fine’, as that is what mothers, daughters etc do. It is great to consider that the pictures we have of motherhood, being a good daughter, partner etc. can not be true when we actually are having to disregard ourselves in the process to fit into them.
“I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it. Knowing this, changes everything. It makes life far less personal, and far more lovely and grand” – I love this, and I totally agree with you, AM. Reading this today with my belly bloated, it just is the bestest reminder for me. Thank you.
This blog really rings true how we use and abuse our bodies and then wonder why it is misbehaving by getting sick. At times it seems that we are hard wired to push and push the body until it is no longer even able to function and then we stop and ask ourselves how did we end up like this?
After reading this I’m aware how much I’ve lived in great disregard of my body. I’ve treated it as a work horse and disrespected it thinking it is separate to myself and taken notice of it only when it’s not functioned as I’ve wanted it to. But, like God, it never judges me but always loves. It’s glad when I treat it with loving care. It never holds back its wisdom or healing properties – even it’s adjustments in the form of illness and disease are it’s way of clearing the abuse I imposed on it. Rather than think I know it all from my mind that is so limited, there’s a great relationship to build with me and my body that taps into all the wonders of the world. We’re all living walking keys to the greatness of the universe and yet I know I’ve often ignore this!
‘I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.’ What a great way to end my day with your beautiful words, I will take myself to bed aware of the bigger picture I am part of and feel the grandness of the universe.
Reading your sharing AM, I can see myself in many of your words. We often give of ourselves freely thinking that this is what we “should” do to be a great friend, parent, workmate, partner and so on, to our detriment. So to get ” permission” to change, comes first from seeing others take back control of their lives again and doing the same too, realizing this was how we our bodies ought to have been, loved and nurtured always!
Our particles are part of the universe and therefore our behaviours have an impact on everyone and everyone.
“My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.” How beautiful this is, our bodies are made up of particles and we continue to be part of different bodies.
Absolutely beautiful AM, there is so much more to life than what we currently live and we all have a grander purpose on this planet.
I love particles, I love our particles, the profound understanding that what we are made of has the potential to be totally in sync and in harmony with the universe. And it is all a matter of choice.
What amazing insights to feel and understand and know that our bodies are particles of the universe, and to be asked the question what am I going to do with my part of the universe right now – what will I allow in there? It does make it all less personal, and brings it back simply to the fact as you offer AM, that we are of God and to honour the part we play in the universe. This is both extraordinary and absolutely ordinary.
There is always a space for us to step up in responsibility about how we are in the world, and the quality in which we live, do things, behave in relationships etc. Seeing ourselves as connected particles allows us to consider our part in the whole (ie humanity) and how our part either expands and unites, or contrastly separates, the whole.
“I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it”: such powerful words Anne. Why would we ever want to deny this amazing responsibility we have for all that we are, and all that we do, to ourselves, to another, and to this world?
Wow, I didn’t consider the grandness/microscopic aspect of me in relation to the universe and divine. That we are custodians of participles that make up my body. Others before me and others to come. What you have presented AM has expanded my limited, insular perception.
Amazing when viewed this way just how important it is to take loving care of the body.
‘My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.’ Wow this is so gorgeous and powerful to read, to know this and then live it is an absolute game changer not only for ourselves but also for humanity.
How can we ever doubt the grandness of who we truly are? Reading this powerful yet simple truth AM we are beautifully reminded of the deep responsibility we hold for ourselves and all of humanity.
“I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it”.
A beautiful and powerful blog AM; taking me to another level of appreciation and responsibility for my body and my part in the sharing of particles.
Such a cool comment 🙂 Our bodies are a gateway to something so much grander than we can fathom, it’s so worth taking the time to learn how to truly care and nurture for it.
I love the feeling of expansion I get from this blog, and I can feel my body going ‘yes, I know that’ yet on the back of it I have noticed there is something else in me that wants to pull back from it and down to the personality level, not letting me fully surrender into the true grandness of what is and the ease that comes with that surrender.
For many years I have massively under-appreciated my body, and forgetting our bodies in-house the grandness of who we are, it feels amazing to start taking true care of it and claim it back for the amazing vessel it is.
This is a beautiful blog AM, I am appreciating deeply your words.
This blog transports you to a different dimension – that of life as the significant responsibility it truly is for the particles that are on loan to us for our moment. You’re right, viewed in this way, all sense of the personal, the individual becomes trivial and self-centred and we get to see, feel and appreciate how we are in fact a fractal of the whole and the enormous responsibility for curating those particles that have been bestowed on us while we are them.
‘Am I truly appreciating what I have been given here?’ This question made me ‘stop’ and truly feel what I have done with my body today, how loving my choices have been, did I choose to be God? It is time to be honest and let go of the pictures I have how it looks like to be God and instead just be aware and be me.
Another plague of another era… And it certainly been around for awhile… Doing good works at the abnegation of oneself. When one feels the energetic quality of these actions they would be felt as the awfulness that they actually are and a very big veil of illusion would be lifted.
“I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.” AM this is such a freeing realization. We tend to think of responsibility as a restriction of our freedom but it is in fact the opposite – for once we surrender to responsibility we are then able to truly serve as Sons of God. I love how your blog takes us away from the personal to the vastness of space and the fine detail of the particles, “ When I see myself in this way, I see myself as God – what a beautiful expression of appreciation, thank you.
It’s hard to recognise abuse if we are used to it but the more we nominate it the finer our perception becomes, and what may not have seemed abusive before then stands out as horrific. AM thank you for bringing our awareness to the many ‘hidden’ ways we self-abuse.
Beautiful comment Marcia. Feeling my body in this way exposes how ridiculous it is to treat it with anything other than love, respect and great tenderness.
… And just imagine if we really took this to heart, if humanity realised that our bodies do indeed belong to God and are aligned to God… What an extraordinary depth of responsibility would then be realised on the planet.
Thank you AM, a great reminder how important our body is, and how truly tender and lovingly we should be with it. When you say “My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time.” I realise just how precious my body is.
“My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter”.
We are the custodians of our bodies; what a joyous responsibility!
Thank you AM for highlighting this responsibility that we all have in looking after and caring for our divine bodies.
When I look at myself as part of everything, it feels very beautiful, delicate, solid and fluid and gives me a greater sense of responsibility to myself and everyone else. I am not just an individual who does as I please but an important part of the all.
This is a valuable tool for life you’ve shared here Brendan. Imagine if we were taught this as children.
“I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it”… This is awesome AM, as it defines what it means about taking responsibility for our body and our choices.
I can also identify with this AM “I would never knowingly abuse another person, or allow another to be abused, but I have willingly accepted abuse from others, and have certainly abused myself.” Its amazing that we will allow oursleves to be taken advantage of in order to please another and to not ‘rock the boat’, rather than saying no to a behaviour that does not feel good. When we realise that our particles do not belong to us but to the Universe, we have to start taking responsibility and saying ‘No’ to what we know to be untrue.
Same here Sandra and AM, I have abused myself and I have allowed another to abuse me but the more I connect to what is true and what I know, in other words connect to my wisdom, my body tells me very loudly when it is not treated in a way that honours its origin.
My divinity needs to be number one!
Agreed entirely Jane. There are so many things I did to myself and allowed that once I thought ‘weren’t all that bad’… I’d grown up accepting self-abuse as par for the course of life in so many, many ways. The love and our capacity to truly love ourselves via our relationship with our bodies, that has been shown by lived example via Serge Benhayon and amazing practitioners such as Michael Benhayon, has been life-changing. And this is via no ridiculous notions of abstinence or self-denial. In returning to accept our divinity, it simply becomes natural to care for ourselves so much more.
I’ve found it my experience also, that such realisations come in ‘levels’ we can handle – if we TRULY accepted our divinity, and the absolute beauty of who we are, we would NEVER abuse ourselves so, would we? And so the deepening process, if you will, of being willing to get in touch with these levels of abuse – until it is no more. Each ‘no’, each honouring of ourselves can represent the healing of age-old mechanisms through which we’ve kept ourself back from the glory of our true amazingness…
A powerful statement you have made here, in regards to the personal responsibility we all have, and how readily we have shirked it, oftentimes kidding ourselves that we are ‘helping/serving’ others (by our ‘ever-availability’ for whatever anyone wants, for example – as you’ve so well stated!). Thank-you AM.
Very confirming blog, AM. Lately I started looking at my body the same way, as a Divine being so everything it is build from and I am putting into it must be rather high vibration in order for it to be able to express its Divinity.
“My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.” This is so beautiful and shows the interconnectedness we are all from.
“My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.
I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.” We are custodian of God-made particles we are also made of. We carry Divinity inside us. By virtue of all this, we are Divine.
“My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter. I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.” This is amazing AM. Seeing myself as the custodian of my body completely changes the way I view my body and the level of responsibility I have in caring for my body. Caring for my body is now no longer just about me feeling well, it is about creating an imprint and quality of love in these particles that will outlive me. Whoever will be the next custodian of these particles with then have a living imprint of love.
How often I forget to see that I am simply a custodian of particles and not an owner of a lump of flesh. I have spent much of my life feeling that my body weighed me down and held me back. Seeing my body as ‘high maintenance’ and cursing it when it did not operate the way I wanted it to.
Since discovering the presentations made by Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon I have found that my body is in fact my greatest ally. When I treat my body with love and respect it feels more beautiful than I could have imagined possible.
Anne I love how you say we are custodians of the space we occupy in the universe and how the particles in our body have made up many bodies before and will do hereafter. It gives a great sense of how interconnected we all are and brings home the importance of how we live our life.
I find, the more love I have expressed and receive and therefore the more love is in my body, the easier it is to really take good care of my body, in fact it is easier than not to take care as my body is so important for my expression.
Great comment Brendan. I know that one – and the resentment I created within myself as a result was poison to my self-worth……and poison to the rest of the universe too.
Claiming it and some! This is a beautiful and grand piece of writing fitting of the beautiful and grand particles you are made from.
‘When I see myself in this way, I see myself as God’
I love this AM because it is TRUE. We are made from God and when we consider this we can begin to claim our bodies for the divine purpose that they bring.
Dear AM what a great inside you gave – we are all particles made from heaven – how lovely is that. What if we all could feel that we are from heaven? How would the world than look like? Perhaps we would have and live finally heaven on earth.
Brendan that’s been so for me- caught up in a downward spiral where, until I lovingly take responsibility for my choices, I stay swimming in self-imposed helplessness.
So beauty-full:
“My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.
I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.”
Thank you – this is very empowering as well as showing us our responsibility. And it throws out the self. Very powerfully stated.
True Brendan – taking responsibility for our choices and self-inflicted abuse is huge.
Amazing to read this AM and connect to the fact that we are all made up of particles that can neither be created nor destroyed according to the laws of physics – therefore, as you suggest, we are but custodians of these particles that have existed long before we did and will continue to exist long after we have. This is huge and really puts life into perspective.
A beautiful article AM, clearly pointing the way to understanding how taking responsibility for the space we occupy shows us not to try and be responsible for everyone else, and the world, by giving ourselves away, making ourselves available, thinking we have to “do good” and so on. Holding the sacredness of who we truly are deepens, widens and expands that space.
It is lovely re-reading this again first thing this morning. I have a great feeling of expansiveness and a sense of inner joy, “My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.” – absolutely gorgeous!
What a great and very true comment Brendan… a reminder thats its always about choices
What a very different way of viewing the body A.M. What you describe certainly feels much lighter and more respectful, than the way we are used to trashing our bodies.
“I have been a master of lending my body in the service of others – of allowing others to do what they need to do with it to survive. I have seen my body as something that is not just for me, but also for everyone – in a way that has been at the great expense of me.” I would say the same for me too, always doing for others at my own expense. We had a family saying – FHB – family hold back – putting everyone else first. All this is changing since coming to Universal Medicine presentations. Now I know that when I care for myself with tenderness, this naturally supports others.
“My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.” Wow AM, this is such a fabulous reminder and so humbling to realise that we are simply another arrangement of a different collection of particles, to the arrangement of particles that we were in our last life and all the previous lives before that. When we understand life in this way it shines a completely different light on the responsibility we have in the way we live and it becomes almost impossible to not have at least an awareness that how we live today will affect on whoever has some of our particles in another life. Amazing blog, thank you.
We are indeed custodians of this body of particles… this body of God. The questions you pose AM offer deep revelation for anyone who asks then from a true desire to know who they are.
My lovely, delicate, tender, gentle, magical, miraculous body is feeling the appreciation and care I now share with it “My body is not just a vessel for myself or others to use as they will and discard when they are done.” For so many years, I treated it rough, used it to move me to A to B and dumped loads of toxins in it like it was land fill….our bodies are so much more than this…for me they have the potential to express our divine connection with the universe. This is something to treasure, nurture and support.
Such a divine way of expressing the truth of our bodies AM, thank you for your beautiful and clear description of our relationship with everything.
The responsibility of what we allow to flow through the body is so important. This is multi-layered because it’s more than food and drink. There is always a resultant hangover effect when something that is of a lesser vibration does flow through and equally there is an expansion when choosing, plugging into and expressing Love.
Wow! this is such an amazing sharing AM. Re-reading this again today delivers a particle expansion in my body. Yes I am (we all are) responsible ‘for this space and for what happens on it, around it and within it’.
I often come back to this blog and I love the expansion I feel in my body when reading it.
This is a grand revelation, to deeply honour our bodies for what they are. Vessels of energy from god.
I love this part…”My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter…” It really offers perspective, a sense of belonging and being a part of the the whole.
I agree Johanne, so beautiful, it does really offer perspective, knowing that we indeed come from the same particles of the universe.
Oooh – now that is talking about responsibility!
When we finally grasp the full beauty of your words AM, that ‘My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter’ we will begin to honour and embrace all that we are and to build a new, profound and ever deepening relationship with the whole of the Universe. As we expand and feel the true depth of our essence we will be allowed to access an even greater and grander understanding of life – one that is infinite and eternal.
You make a great point AM, we are custodians of this body and have a huge responsibility to every single particle. Especially in how we nourish those particles with the energetic quality of our choices.
‘My body is not just flesh, blood and bone that will die with me.
My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.
I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.’ Wow AM, what an insight you share with us, and when we accept this it shows the huge responsibility we hold for everything, for the whole.
Reading this blog again AM drops me into my heart just that bit more every single time…
I have reduced the amount of abuse that I receive by speaking up. What was acceptable behaviours once, I can clearly see as bright as day that what is said is abusive. It has taken those on the receiving end by surprise. I’ve allowed this abuse to continue for too long, but it feels incredibly mature and very loving to say enough is enough, even in the face of a little conflict and resistance.
Beautiful expressed AM. Our bodies are vessels that we express through, and they take on the energy of that expression. So what will that be? With what will my particles be vibrating? There are only 2 choices – Love or, that which is not Love.
“My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter” This is so beautiful AM. Our particles come from God – honouring this how could we abuse ourselves or others in any way? Thankyou for this blog.
“I would never knowingly abuse another person, or allow another to be abused, but I have willingly accepted abuse from others, and have certainly abused myself.” Many of us can relate to what is being said here including myself. What I find disturbing is that before I came across Universal Medicine I accepted the abuse because I regarded it as ‘normal’ although I could feel the tension in my body constantly. Universal Medicine supports me to see the abuse in my life offering me to make different choices.
I can really relate to this line also…..’I have allowed so much abuse in my life. A lot of it was me abusing myself, so when the abuse what coming from the outside, it wasn’t as overt, because of what I was always putting myself through’. I too came upon Universal Medicine, through the support of practitioners and workshops/presentations, I have certainly turned around that abuse and what I used to allow for myself and can definitely make other choices.
Thank you AM, I love this blog, thank you for sharing.
Well said Jane. It is true, we are not confirmed of the absolute wisdom and intelligence our bodies are, let alone the appreciation for them because as children we know. I knew as a child the wisdom was there already inside me and all I wanted was the confirmation of me. It changes our educate system upside down when we are presented with this fact.
Am I truly appreciating what I have been given here? Sat with this question for a while and in all honesty the answer is no I do not all of the time. Having spent so many years on ‘full steam ahead’ in allowing myself to ‘do’ for others’ and ‘to be something’ in many guises for so many, that long ingrained way of being is still at times waiting to pounce into action! Having the awareness of those patterns I am appreciating as I can stop and take back responsibility for this way of being as quickly as it starts to rear up. A fantastic sharing AM thank you.
Wow! This is huge!… I am left feeling wonderfully expansive, a oneness for all. There is no room for individualism, only seeing the whole and each and every person, animal, plant, insect etc. a part of the whole. Thank you AM for sharing such an awesome blog.
The last sentence from this blog I find super relevant as this is where I have been working on and deeply accepting the truth of this. Not to take it for granted and understanding the enormity of what I bring by just being me. – “When I see myself in this way, I see myself as God. Not in a mad or grandiose way, but as a matter of fact. These particles come from God and are God. So I am God too. And so are you.”
I love what you expressed here, our bodies are part of the all. And it is our responsibility to support it to be all that we are, to be able to express that what we are.
Proof that a few words can and do change lives. The sweetness and depth of this short article sings to those particles in my body. We choose the quality of everything we do, say and think and I have a beautiful picture of the particles in my body being released for their next ‘job’. What an incredible and inspiring responsibility to make sure they are in awesome shape for this.
Oh So Beautiful AM. Thank you. I too have felt moments of such tenderness with my body and that it is very beautiful and divine. What joy!
I love how you link the impact the roles we play can have on our body. Often situations arise when we can call ourselves a victim, but how often do we look deeper to see how we may have placed ourselves in such a situation to begin with.
So true Abby. And it is in this – our self-responsibility – where we can truly heal.
Honestly looking at our lives will let us see how many roles we play and try to fulfill each day without. Finding our real selves again will free us of this roles, as there is just one that fits and that we do not net to rehearse: living who we truly are.
Thank you AM and those that have commented here. In reading through I have come to realise that I am still allowing myself to be influenced by the outside world to my own detriment. I am giving my power away to those I think know better which is really just a cop out, an avoidance of connecting to the truth that I know and living that.
It is amazing as you stated that you would not abuse another, but feel ok abusing yourself or receiving abuse. It exposes how deeply our lack of self love is for ourselves. How can we live not appreciating our own worth on this planet. Why would be accept less than what we would offer another.
AM has highlighted for me the differing levels of abuse, some of which I have not previously seen as such, but AM makes it clear – when I am not with God, holding his hand, I am in abuse
So true and so exposing Gail. I do and allow things to be done to myself that I would never allow or do to another, yet when it is me doing it to me, somehow I see that as acceptable. Self-love and self-worth play a big role in this.
So true Gail. I know that I am guilty of this – accepting much less for myself than what I would allow another. This may come from the idea that it is only me who suffers or has to deal with the self abuse – however, when we see ourselves as the custodians as AM has suggested, and realise that these particles will be passed on to another, then this self-abuse or lack of self-love is not confined to self and will be felt by those around us and the future custodians of these particles.
Beautiful and deeply evolutionary blog AM, we have a response – ability to the way we treat our bodies as they carry and express the love of God and the message that humanity so desperately needs to be brought forth.
With god we walk hand in hand, only we can choose to let go of his hand, but he is still patiently walking beside us, always there, should we choose to take his hand again. What actually are we here for in life, and are we living to our full potential of what we are here for?
I use the analogy of the small child learning to walk. If he stumbles then we would not punish him, we would gently take his hands and help him back on his feet again, and celebrate each little teetering step he takes forward, knowing that one day he will make leaps and bounds and grow into the giant that he truly is, on his return to Heaven, back into his Fathers arms. God knows our potential, and so do we, we just have to realise it for ourselves.
Deeply beautiful sandrahenden. It’s so important, when we recognise abusive ways we’ve been living, that we hold ourselves in such love – that we actually let His love hold us also…
“I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.” That’s exactly how I feel, the custodian of the particles that make up my body. They and therefore I am part of the Universe and I have a responsibility to myself and the Universe to be the quality I call love.
I love this line too Katinka, it brings absolute energetic responsibility to the fore.
Whoa! Stop. I love reading blogs with this depth of understanding and connection. I too know myself in this way, but you, AM, have allowed me to consider more deeply the responsibility I carry this ‘space’ in. I know I still at times choose to be irresponsible with this small piece of divinity allocated to me. This is something I am working very hard with – responsibility, and the reclaiming of my body and being back through my choices every moment. Awesome piece of writing and definitely one to return to.
I so agree Anna, I keep coming back to this amazing blog. It is indeed the claiming back our connection with our body, re-learning to trust that innate wisdom that is within, that is truly and deeply honouring. It is about building that responsibility and trust, which is a daily commitment and one that is building each and every day.
“I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it”.
I love the way in which you have expressed this AM; we are indeed responsible, totally, for our own well-being, which of course impacts on others.
‘I have been a master of lending my body in the service of others’. Isn’t that what be basically get taught as soon as we enter this world, that we are not the master of ourselves and that we need to do and adjust to not only fit into this world but to make sure we can cope with it. It is so ingrained in our way of living when we are grown up we see it as normal and do not question it anymore imposing then this way of living onto our children, the next generation, who will go through the same process continuing this ill cycle. So thank God there are so many of us now who have stepped out of this tread mill step by step standing up to the truth that we feel deep inside and simply have forgotten to express.
This is beautiful Ester, and very true. This is ingrained in us from a young age, but there is an even bigger picture when we come to consider past lives and also the power of living the soul on earth. Energetic responsibility is at play always and I am beginning to understand the true depths this asks of each of us.
Even just reading the opening paragraph of this blog I realise how I override my body and abuse even at times when I think I am doing something purposeful and true. For example being physically exhausted and pushing through because I think it’s the ‘right’ thing to do, with the thoughts such as I’m not committed etc – but what is the quality and energy I am bringing to the task, work, myself, people when I choose to ignore what I am really feeling and not taking care of my body.
Great point you make Gylrae- being physically exhausted and pushing through to get things done to please others, because it’s expected or “right thing to do”, or to gain recognition and approval from others are a form of abuse.
I can very much relate to thinking that I am committing and getting on with my day to find that I am committed because I am seeking recognition from the outside. Whenever I place someone or something before me I am abusing myself; it comes from self.
I have always felt deeply inspired by the idea of making my body an instrument of God’s love.
I would romanticise that I could then let go of fear and surrender into the love that would guide me in my actions to be of service knowing I was coming from a place of truth that would benefit everyone not just myself.
I still feel this to be true, however I have recognised my responsibility in being an instrument of God’s love and that is to treat my body with the genuine love and care it deserves. For my body is no other than an instrument made and create by God, and to treat myself with any form of abuse closes my heart down and shuts the door through which God’s love enters.
To treat my body as the temple of God’s love requires me to deeply honour and respect the body I occupy to prepare the foundation for Love to enter.
This is my responsibility and with the support of Serge Benhayon and the many others that inspire me, I choose “The Way of the Livingness”, growing in my awareness and love of this amazing vehicle of expression I live within.
Dear AM: “My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.” How beautiful is this? This shows how interconnected we are all are, with each other and all of the Universe.
That is very very beautiful Esther. I love reading what others took from this blog as their is so much in it that many of us hold back expressing but know is truth to our absolute core. When written in this way, I feel it in my whole body – the essence of who I am and where we all come from.
We are all one, and a part of the same evolutionary cycle and pattern. The physical material that makes us up does go back into the ground and we are once again developed from the material that is here around us. The atoms, electrons, neutrons etc. It is an amazing science what allows us to be here, ever re-incarnating back into life to learn and re-learn our lessons and where we are truly from. To deeply honour and respect the body is crucial in its development and evolution on this planet.
Absolutely Natasha, ‘To deeply honour and respect the body is crucial in its development and evolution on this planet.’
“I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.” When I read and feel this the responsibility we have in every moment requires a willingness to always accept we’re more than just this human body, however the next question that arises, and I find more challenging, is “Am I truly appreciating what I have been given here?” as this is a key player in everyday life. Thank you.
The energetic scaring from a life of abuse is evident when I look at the body. Everything leaves a sign or mark that weighs the human being down. The world has a way or ‘propping’ up the worn out physical body with chemicals, pills, drinks even clothes, to hide these tell tale signs of the abuse that it has endured. When we introduce self care, these battered particles come alive again and are reacquainted with the divine source of light, something very magical happens.
Michael Benhayon gave me a one line reading in a session 3 years ago now that I am still learning about and going deeper with.
Wow emmadanchin, I can relate to that – when Michael Benhayon shares anything with me, it’s like etched into my memory and keeps on unfolding for me for a long long time.
We can all be extraordinary like Michael Benhayon and offer evolution to each other if we commit in full to the livingness of our ourselves.
A stunning blog AM. It comes with such clarity it shines into my heart resounding with truth. ‘I am the custodian of these particles and the space they occupy in the Universe’. This is my patch, my part of the whole that I am responsible for.. how do I want that part to contribute?
It takes time to change long held patterns; I woke this morning realising that I still allow myself to go into a rush, to beat myself up for not ‘being on’ and then spiral into not having enough time. I was seeing how energetically this affects my daughter, stimulating her nervous system unnecessarily; but your blog beautifully expands this reverberating effect out into the whole, thank you.
Too true emmadanchin, it can take a long time to change long held patterns, because they are very, very, very old…, but as you say, it’s important to keep light about it, and not add beating ourselves up on top of it. The patterns stand out more and more, until the day comes where we just cannot do that anymore. For me it’s the ‘need’ to eat and nibble constantly, because I can….. and I’m feeling how indulgent and abusive that feels. The more lovely I feel, and complete, just being me, connecting to that more deeply, this need will slowly loose it’s grip. Talking about it openly is quite helpful too, taking it out of the closet : ).
Thank you Esther, the more I expose what I have kept hidden, the easier it is to get some distance from it and to choose otherwise, and claim a life of love.
Yes emmadanchin I know this pattern of delaying and then rushing because I have not given myself enough time and then the lack of acceptance on top. It is a cycle that I am constantly working on but as I begin to feel the consequences and the impact my choices have on myself and every one around me more deeply, I am beginning to change these abusing choices. I slip up often especially when getting the children ready for school but I know there will be another opportunity waiting until once and for all I master the love for myself so there’s no more rushing.
I feel it is about accepting my power and responsibility and as you say, using my awareness to look ahead and make choices that will be a loving support. And then when the pattern emerges again to feel it all but just accept it playing out and receive a deeper layer of resolve to let it go.
“I would never knowingly abuse another person, or allow another to be abused, but I have willingly accepted abuse from others, and have certainly abused myself.” This is so true AM. We are the perpetrators of self-abuse in a way that we would not tolerate if we were to see this directed towards another. It is so interesting that we not only allow this self-abuse but that it is so common as to be seen as normal. Why do we do this? Why is this seen as acceptable when it is directed towards ourselves? Ironically, if we take good care of ourselves and are not self-abusive this is often seen as abnormal, indulgent or selfish. As custodian of the particles that make up my body, I for one am going to say no to the self-abuse and hold myself to the same standards I would hold others.
Beautiful Lee
True Shirley-Ann – AM’s account is offering us an exceptional opportunity to honour everything we truly are.
‘it really is that simple when we are living connected to our inner being’ – well said Martin.
If ever we are holding back, there is no true connection to ourselves or anyone.
A profound blog AM – I love the fact that you are pointing out that we are all custodians of the space that our particles occupy in the universe and the responsiblity that comes with it. What you are reflecting here is HUGE – Thank you.
It’s interesting to view the body as particles we are custodians of, and being responsible for the space they occupy. It helps me to feel the bigger picture and the part I play in it, and playing small serves no-one, including me. Dumping the old patterns of self abuse feels great, we are so much more than that.
I love coming back to this powerful blog.
Understanding the beauty and the grace of particles leads to a deeper and greater awareness of spaciousness within our body and around us, and this points us directly into the pathway of the divine
What AM has written here is so gorgeous every particle in my body has a party reading it and I am blown away with Joy. It does not surprise me at all that it was inspired by a healing session with Michael Benhayon who, as AM says, is indeed a Master of delivering a simple observation that initiates a deep process of healing and greater awareness.
I agree Nicola, I love this blog too, so much offered here, and I love the reference to a healing session with Michael Benhayon, because what he brings to us is absolutely huge; what he shares in a session is absolute gold, as you say.
Yes indeed why is this not taught at school – what a different world we would have if we lived by this understanding.
Totally Nicola. The consciousness that currently drives our education system deliberately does not teach how precious and divine the body is so that we will remain incarcerated by its neglect. How can we feel our true love and receive the multi-dimensional communication from divinity if we ignore the body or thrash it doing sport. Our sensitive instrument of true intelligent is kept suppressed, neglected or thrashed. This is where every teacher can reclaim their own connection and appreciation of the body and take heed of what it is saying, and be a living example for the little ones coming through. The power is in our hands.
Yes Nicola, imagine what it would be like for children to grow up being honoured simply for who they are rather than forced into competition and constant exams – valued and judged by their minds and how they perform and how well they can bring down their opponents… These pressures keep kids in their heads, or in competitive drive so that they don’t feel their body’s true communication that knows it is not a true way to be. But if they were to be allowed to stay with themselves, imagine the true wisdom they would unfold from within. This is the dimension that our education has all but lost, but now can be found once more.
I LOVE ~ LOVE ~ LOVE what you have written AM!!!
Yep, I really do dig this blog, so much said and so much to ponder on in such a short space. How many of us actually stop to appreciate what we have on loan and what condition we will pass it on in.
I love the line you’ve shared “I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.” as it brings an entirely different perspective to our body, who we are, our purpose and how we then move through life. It shows clearly that everything we do affects everything else and our responsibility to bring harmony and not harm with everything.
Yes, David, I love that too; it shows that everything we do affects everything else and that it’s our responsibility to bring harmony and not harm to everything and everyone.
Here here to all you’ve so humbly said Martin – Big ups to Michael Benhayon for the infamous ‘throw away line’ indeed! I’ve been meaning to come back here and expressing my absolute appreciation for the wisdom, simplicity and love lived and expressed by Michael Benhayon.
‘I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.’ I keep returning to this blog and in particular this sentence. It changes everything for me. It expands my vision from the personal and places it in space, time and eternity. It lifts me from my daily struggles and patterns to see beyond and gives me the courage to consider that yes, it does matter when I am self abusing and thinking small, because I’m making a glitch in time & space. It shifts my awareness from what I do to me or allow to happen does not matter, to respecting my place in the order of the universe.
Great comment – shifting your awareness from the very personal and self-absorbed to a much greater and ultimately vast space, to our place in the order of the universe. I love how you have summed it up.
This is a great addition Anne, thank you. I love the way you express here about shifting your awareness to the bigger picture supporting you to move away from those little choices we make that we often overlook.
Wow this is sensational – I love this “I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.” If we hold our bodies like this this is an absolute game changer – life can change in any moment, not only the obvious choices we make, but holding our body like this, only allowing thoughts that honour this and playing absolute hugeness!
I can relate very much to what you have written, AM. To lend the body to others so that others can indulge further in their comfort including myself. To understand that our bodies are made of particles and that it is our responsibility to hold the space for them and to appreciate what is given to us is now what I am learning more and more.
hear hear kerstinsalzer15, I am learning too more and more that the body I have been given is Divine and for me to care for and appreciate.
Claiming back my walk is now part of claiming back my body. The way we walk is no different to having a conversation with everyone we walk past. We either walk past with all the grace and power we are or we hold that back only to continue to confirm the lies. So simple and yet so powerful.
Thank you for this pearl of practical down to earth simplicity Vicky.
Absolutely Vicky Geary – our walk says so much in the way our feet touch the ground, if we allow our hips to swing freely or do we stay rigid in our accumulated ideals of how the world should be. There is so much there to claim in our walk, I love experimenting with this and seeing my thoughts change as I bring more of me to my stride.
I agree Rachael I have also felt my thoughts change as I occupy more fully the body I walk with, paying attention and feeling the way my feet touch the ground is deeply connecting and confirming of the amazingness I am.
Great to be reminded of this – I find my posture tells me a lot about myself and taking that into a walk…….. I find it’s often in the transitions where I flounder, transitions in life, so paying more attention to the transitions in my day and in my movements could well support me here knowing that all I do and am has an affect on all around me. Thank you Vicky.
Hear hear Jane, thank God for the constant inspiration and living reflection that Serge Benhayon and all the Benhayons consistently bring.
Our bodies are all little universes and apart of a much bigger universe that we are all constellated together. When we mistreat our bodies our universe gets out of whack, but when we treat it with love, care and respect the whole world lights up around us. That’s pretty awesome.
AM I am with you on this, our particles are with all and a part of the all. Honouring their place in the universe and equally the particles of all, can change everything in how we treat ourselves and all others.
I agree Annie C if we can truly feel the magic, depth and grandness of our particles, we cannot deny that we are all that too and connected with all.
Thats not 2 cents worth Otto.
It’s a nugget of Gold.
After a half century and a bit, doing for others at the expense of my body there are the tell-tail signs of use and abuse over the years. Things have a usable life span even if well taken care of. An old saying that a candle burnt at both ends at the same time burns twice as bright but lasts half the time relates to our body well. What doesn’t age is the love that has always been inside of us all. It is always available, it is real gold; it never becomes less or tarnishes with time.
A beautiful comment sjmatsonuk, garnished with an extra sprinkle of magic by Martin Gladden. Great work Gents! Just adding my own two cents; whilst I agree with the analogy of the candles, what I have noticed in myself and in countless other students of The Way of the Livingness is that, unlike a candle, the body appears to be able to regenerate. I have seen so many get younger, more vital, more joyful, fitter, slimmer, wiser and definitely infinitely more loving.
Awesomely inspiring blog AM. I never looked at it quite like this before.
Your opening paragraph really nails it AM. I love reading this blog, I’ve read it several times and each time it confirms that I am a Son of God. A great piece of writing.
Yeah I agree Mathew. The opening paragraph really hits something home for me. How willing I have been to let my body be a vehicle for any one and anything other than my own sacred vehicle.
“My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.” WOW AM, this is absolutely magnificent. To read and feel the truth of it has brought me deeper into the awareness of this fact. Thank you for delivering this brilliant blog.
I too love this line, when I read it I just had this amazing visual of space, the universal, how I was a part of that, no body, just particles and I was connected to everything and everyone. It was really a great blog, thank you.
What an incredibly powerful blog. I mean really if you read between the lines this biog says it all about who we really are, the responsibility and power we hold, and the affect we have on all things in the universe. And also the last line mentioning Michael Benhayon, “Master of delivering the ‘throwaway’ line that takes you into a deep process of healing and greater awareness.” Knowing Michael I can say that is 100% true.
Absolutely Dean – this blog says all about who we really are. I am not surprised the immense reflection offered here was inspired by Michael Benhayon – a Master indeed.
Oh wow, this blog is fantastic. I was just so inspired to read your proclamation if I may call it that, that “I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.” It made me reflect on just how important it is that I dedicate to filling that space with my loving presence and commitment to being there and how the huge impact I have on the world is very significant depending on how I hold and what I do with that space.
For me, this blog asks: “How responsible am I willing to be?” I know that my body is a vessel for my soul, but have not before considered that it too is made up of divine particles, that it is divine. I have not wanted that level of responsibility. The truth can no longer be ignored, thank you AM.
Great question you ask: “How responsible am I willing to be?”
Knowing that our body is a vessel for the soul, made up of divine particles gives us indeed another level of responsibility. We are part of the whole universe and the whole universe is in every part of us.
Great point you make here Carmin. I too had not considered that my body is made up of divine particles even though I have always known this truth deep within. It’s always amazes me how I can avoid seeing truth simply because it does not suit. Seeing my body physically made up as divine particles takes responsibility to a whole new level for me too.
I really loved reading your blog AM, what a beautiful feeling of oneness with us, God and the universe, how deeply I need to cherish these Godly particles I am made of. Thank you.
‘My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.’ Stunning, very beautiful words AM that bring such responsibility, and not only in the hereafter, as we share it all right now.
Yes I agree Jenny, these words claimed and expressed are so powerful and it completely takes the small ‘I’ out of the picture. Knowing we are in a body that belongs not to us but to the universe changes everything– how we eat, move, the thoughts we allow in, the quality of relationships we develop — everything. When we know that we have custodianship of our bodies, our lives have amazing purpose.
It makes so much sense to hear we belong to the universe and therefore are a part of an omnipotence.
This is a great point to raise AM. Abuse towards others is touted as totally unacceptable in many cultures and societies. It is plain to see how harm-full and destructive it truly is both physically and emotionally. No one in-truth wants this, yet we allow it. But is this because we first and foremost accept and allow abuse in our own way of being with ourselves first?
well said Francisco and I love the words “we are custodians of our bodies”. If we were all to embrace this fact and realise that our body is actually the vehicle that will return us to love and harmony then maybe we can treat it a bit more preciously.
I’m very partial to talk on particles – so I LOVED your blog. You are so correct, our particles that make up our bodies do not even belong to us, they belong to something so much grander, as do we.
Your line I am custodian of these particles made me stop – what a great point you share I understand that I am only custodians of my children but I has never had that concept of my body – I am often trying to sneak something that I know won’t support me – not wanting others to see – how devious of me as I am hurting me and the particles I am custodian of.
“When I see myself in this way, I see myself as God. Not in a mad or grandiose way, but as a matter of fact.” Indeed AM this is what we are here to return to, the everydayness of living soulfully.
Yes, imagine the world living this fact, how differently we could be with each other and treat each other, naturally so. Understanding we are part of the Universe, of the Stars and of God would change everything.
Very true Kylie, but although we may do our darndest to attenuate and distort the absolute grandness of the Universe – the light can only be dimmed for a while, never lost.
Ahhh thank you Lyndy for bringing it back to the gorgeousness of what AM has delivered – these 2 lines present a truth that is beautiful beyond words “My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.”. To be a ‘custodian’ of such grandness brings a whole new meaning to life.
Gorgeous Alexis and very true. I actually remember being taught that my body was made of the same particles as stars when I was at school, however, all the glory and awesomeness of this revelation was removed from the teaching. The truth AM has presented here is delivered with fullness and clarity and I can feel just how incredible it would be to have this true wisdom delivered in classrooms as you so beautifully describe.
This blog is a gift that keeps on giving AM. You have me reflecting on the many ways I have allowed my body to be used for a false pleasure or relief with no true love or respect for myself or anyone else. I can also see the that simple everyday occurrences like rushing, overeating and getting angry are in fact highly irresponsible uses of this sacred vessel I am custodian of.
Yes Leonne – Being born in and living through the body has meant that I too, have not stopped to really own the amazing gift and opportunities available to me by treating everything about my body with tenderness and love. It is so easy to disconnect and just ‘get on with it’, when this is irresponsible and disregarding. There is so much to be understood and lived more honestly from this blog. Thanks AM.
I love these examples you mention Leonne, it highlights just how much of our lives are abusive, we just haven’t wanted to see it as such. Connecting to where our bodies are from, particles from the universe, opens up life to a completely new way of being.
I know these lines so well AM and it is so good to have it exposed here: ‘I would never knowingly abuse another person, or allow another to be abused, but I have willingly accepted abuse from others, and have certainly abused myself.’ This particular paradigm, from a certain limited perspective and in the eyes of the world seems quite harmless, or relatively harmless when one considers murder for example, but it partakes of the blindness to true love, and so cannot be love and therefore must be every bit as bad as to be an abuser of someone else. This I learnt from that great educator for life, Serge Benhayon and I am so glad to have turned this around!
In a way, even something like eating way to much at dinner, which leads to feeling pretty average the next day, and as a consequence then feeling not at your best when seeing your clients at work, is an abuse of sorts.
I know it is not intended that way but from the point of view of others who may need access to all the wonderful strengths you naturally bring to life when you are at your best, for them to have less access to them on any given day because you haven’t taken care of yourself so well is almost unfair – especially in more serious cases where your brilliance will support making some very important life changes in another person.
A great point you raise Dean. It just goes to show that appreciating ourselves is key, as when we do this we allow ourselves to feel the importance of all we do – which is actually how we are in everything that we do. When we start to feel the magnitude of what can be brought by a simple smile or comment to someone, by virtue of being connected to ourselves, we start to see that anything that gets in the way of that connection stops the flow of love that can otherwise be. If there is not love, then what is there in our interactions? When we are not connected to love, and the importance of it, any number of other abusive behaviours are therefore allowed. We need to feel the responsibility of this as it affects all in all we do.
What you present here is wonderful Amelia and has taken the comments I initially made to a much deeper place… that the flow of love is at the heart of all things and that ‘without that flow any number of abusive behaviours are therefore allowed’.
So our dedication to living love is of the utmost importance as how much we embrace it greatly affects everyone and everything around us.
Some great points Dean and Amelia, and, ‘If there is not love, then what is there in our interactions? When we are not connected to love, and the importance of it, any number of other abusive behaviours are therefore allowed.’
The world is lost without love.
Right to the simple detail of our kitchen tables we are making choices that have far reaching and often unrealised effects. Opening ourselves up to a bigger picture is the inspiration of responsibility.
Dean this beautifully takes the reader to looking responsibility straight in the eye.
Yes Sally and Dean. It is our responsibility right down to the smallest detail and largest gesture. Looking this in the eye was at first daunting to me but now I am embracing it lovingly, as I gradually exit from a way of being that was detrimental to myself and others. Responsibility is actually so joyful.
To come to this understanding about self-abuse and deeply embrace what it means and then live it means getting to grips with and healing any entrenched lack of self-worth and self-appreciation, something that runs deep in the Judaeo-Christian western culture many of us have been raised in.
I agree Lyndy, why is it that we stand up for others and speak out against abuse, but we allow it towards ourselves, and even be our own worst abuser? What quality do we build in a body that lives this abuse every day, and what quality is possible if we chose absolute honouring and love instead, not just for ourselves, but then what we can bring to all?
The words ‘You are made from particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter,’ say everything.
What could be greater than that? The enormity of that fact turns every previous thought, ideal or belief I’ve ever held on its head. It’s opened my eyes to how I’ve tended to think ‘local’ about the cells in my body, however I now see I need to look ‘universal’ to be anywhere near what has previously happened to each cell that makes up my body.
This is also proof that we are all brothers and sisters of the one Divine Creator and SO exposes just how off-path humanity is in its relationships with all fellow human beings, both near and far.
There is great power and strength in knowing and living who we are – a Son of God.
Beautiful AM knowing we are all particles form God and the responsibility and love with this knowing is amazing to feel and live. I love all you have expressed so simply that makes sense and is a joy to read
AM Reading just the first few paragraphs of your blog and it really hits homes just how much of my life I would happily abuse myself under the guise of seeking relief or recognition and approval. The more I bring self care, self love to myself the less abusive I am with myself yet looking around the whole of society is setup to support us to abuse ourselves in a myriad of accepted ways.
I have also spent my life in the service of others at the expense of myself. The first time I was told to love and self-nurture myself, the phase and act was an unknown foreign concept. Now it is my foundation and I can now feel that I am part of the bigger whole.
I am learning the loving discipline that is needed in claiming back my body. It first needs heaps of honesty.
I love the understanding I get from reading your blog about my own particles, which have travelled, transformed and crushed over and over again. I just felt the pain of not having had any appreciation or care for them many times before, using them to just follow the whims of a very low form of “intelligence”. Since I learned that everything is energy and we are made of particles of energy I realized we can´t really get away with any sort of reckless behaviour that have no care for our particles and treats flesh as static, heavy, bothersome matter that is just there. Yes, we are responsible for our particles more than we normally think, and because everything is energy we are responsible for them in the way we live, move and the quality of energy we magnify through them that crush them or make them expand. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful sharing Am bringing us back to the whole truth of who we are and how we can live it throughout our day . Simply being particles of God brings an honouring and respect to our lives of divinity and love.
That is so true Vicky; these questions not only make us masters of our lives, and not victims, but also align us with the harmony and rhythms of the universe. This blog reminds us of the grandness we come from and coaxes us out of the personal bubble we have built in disregard of ourselves, each other, our humanity, and our universe.
Wow AM, I love that you are claiming the tangible connection to the universe through the particles of your body. And I also love that these particles are timeless and ageless and that we are the custodians of god’s creation. This brings home the immense responsibility to self but not for self.
Love this, Bernard -“This brings home the immense responsibility to self but not for self.” Yes, no part will not affect the whole.
And it is possible to feel this divinity within every cell, and to know the interconnectedness of all things, again not with our intellect, because the mind cannot hold or fathom this awareness, but with our whole being.
The beingness, the knowingness that we are everything already.
Agree Hannah, the “comfort of irresponsibility” can be a very tricky character and once it takes hold we live less or ‘smaller’ than we are innately designed to be. Once we become aware and fully claim that we are indeed particles of the Universe, and we take the responsibility that comes with this, living the grandness on offer is an easy next step. Yet why do we so often shy away from fully embracing the glory that we are from
It’s true Anne, once we see the game at play, we can then take responsibility and simply choose to stop playing. Once we make this choice, as you say “living the grandness on offer is an easy next step”.
Reading this wow! Amazing sharing – The vibration of what you share with us all AM has woken up parts of me that have settled for comfort for too long. My particles are rejoicing at this new awakening and that true responsibility is in every single thought and action where ‘abuse’ no longer has a place to get comfortable and settle.
God is present in every particle so it becomes the question of how many of our particles will we choose to align with it’s originator, that being God and how many will we give away to the opposite energy. With each particle we choose to give away to the other energy we create an extra work load to change the particle from the spark of God it is to the opposite of God. No wonder exhaustion is one of our leading and fast growing health conditions. We are spending energy to pull away from the spark of God we are rather than just allowing and going with the flow of God which is Love.
This is the truth – gosh, you can feel it right into the depths of our beings. Amen.
Absolutely , it’s a piece of heaven.
Exactly Lyndy reclaim our selves and our bodies.
Great point Abby, you have expanded even further on this amazing blog. If we see everything on a particle level, we realise one can not be greater or lesser as each particle has the exact same potential. The particles even look the and are made up of the same stuff so there is no difference hence no room for comparison, we just simply choose to utilise our particles in different ways of expression, all expressions are equally needed.
Yes Beverly this is a beautiful blog, “What a deep responsibility I have to look after this body I am living in, yes, it comes from the divine particles, and yes, everything I do affects everyone else in this universe. This is mind boggling to start to consider all the ramifications.”
I agree this is mind boggling.
Yes and every particle is made up of God and we have trillions of particles in our bodies. So this means we have trillions of bits of God everywhere within our bodies, we are Godly beings, even if at times we may choose to act outside of this.
It seems mankind has a long way to go, but it’s not impossible 🙂 Our particles know where they need to be 🙂
I liked this part too nikkimckee, that we are custodian of our particles.When we go and come back again in a new body, we may have some of the same particles, but likely we have others’ old particles! I would like to think they were kindly, lovingly looked after. It makes me be more responsible for what I put into and do with my body too, so that when my particles are reused, they will have been truly cared for for that next person.
I had never considered my body in this way, that it is made of particles that will one day become other bodies and things just as they previously have been before they made up my body. This does give me a strong sense of the bigger picture and makes the philosophy that all things in the universe are interconnected and one-and-the-same make sense. It brings a physical reality to this philosophy. Which leaves me to ponder in what quality will I leave these particles to be taken up by other things when I pass over. This really brings to the forefront just how huge our responsibility is when it comes to choosing the quality we choose to live by and in as it will directly impact on those things that come after us from our bodies discarded particles.
Just reading your comment I can feel I have considered my dead body as nothing more than a waste product from the life I have lived…. I had never considered my responsibility for the energy I leave these particles in until now. This makes me reconsider every function of my body, even its current operating waste removal systems – my body is shedding and renewing particles all the time…what energy am I leaving behind and what energy am I rebuilding with?
Yes it allows us to feel how we are one with the universe and how we are in relationship with our body has an effect on the all.
Whenever I notice thoughts that are less than loving, I know immediately it is time to claim back my body. When I am in my body, I just don’t get certain thoughts. Step out, and before you know it, thoughts I may not usually have will be clambering to have a say again.
“…it makes us Masters of our life not victims.” This is a powerful statement Vicky, and when understood would end the need for so much that goes on in our world, as so many of us think and believe that we are victims instead of Masters of our life, simply by letting go of control and being invested in life having to be a certain way.
I completely agree that with the understanding that we are more than just flesh and bones we all have the potential to “…develop a very personal relationship with God and the Universe through the wisdom of our body..”
Wow AM! Your sharing has just brought my relationship with my body to another level of respect and responsibility and honouring of the beauty it holds.
My particles are not mine, they are Divine! We totally create denseness in the body when we try to own matter, a great point Lyndy. With surrender and acceptance the body is free to feel the rhythms and cycles in which it naturally adheres to – Universally so. Ownership feels like separation from the all and what is going on around us, it’s very self.
Understanding the body in this way really brings home the deep responsibility we have to honour and cherish it in all the ways we can… through sleep, food, dressing appropriately for the temperature, hygiene, the way we move, walk and go about our day, and so much more. Because how we are with ourselves and our body, effects everyone and everything, equally.
How disrespectful and irresponsible I have been to humanity in the way I have used and abused my body and allowed other to do the same.
‘My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.” Wow I hadn’t really considered that before how our bodies are a part of the universe we are all one and what I do with and to my body you feel. I have heard that before but not really felt it in my body this takes responsibility to a whole new level. Life could be very different if we all took responsibly for the choices we make in life knowing they affect each and every person in the universe.
Fiona- your comment is about an amazing science that is actually quite logical – when we hold everyone dearly this has to include ourselves as indeed we have to be a part of everyone. We can’t stand outside of everyone – this in itself would be divisive. In slightly different words, if we truly devote to humanity this can never be at our own expense, as we are equally responsible to ourselves, our particles and our bodies if we are to be responsible towards another.
Your line AM ‘Well, all that is about to change.’ is beautiful as it feels like this is our (the reader’s) invitation to join you in living this revelation – making choices with reverence to the particles and the inter-connectedness of all particles.
Gorgeous AM, thank you – ‘When I see myself in this way, I see myself as God. Not in a mad or grandiose way, but as a matter of fact. These particles come from God and are God. So I am God too. And so are you.’
AM- in this piece of writing you take self -love and building love in the body to a whole other level through your understanding that we are custodians of particles, particles that are no less than God’s divine particles.
I agree Deanne, the way this blog is written actually takes the self from self-love away and brings it back to the bigger picture of the universe where we are part of.
Very cool analogy of our place in the universe. How are we responding to our particles and others. Why let our particles be polluted.
AM- what a great finishing sentence, I have had sessions with Michael Benhayon like this too, he is able to land great truth in a way that is receivable, like an unassuming Master.
Just beautiful,simple and profound. Thank you so much AM.
Simply profound. Thank you AM for sharing your ‘healing session’ with us – every piece of me resonates with the Truth on offer here…
Indeed Vicky, a custodian is gifted never burdened.
Absolutely Bina imagine if we all had COP (Custodians of Particles) as post nominal letters after our names! How eagerly how joyfully we would embrace self responsibility and our place in the big picture.
“I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it.” To be a custodian of particles, what a job title AM, this promotes me to a Universal realm that is grand beyond measure.
The word ‘custodian’ really takes away the ownership we can get caught up in with our body. I love it.
I agree Robynjones11, it’s not about us but all.
In the sense that if I am rough and hard with myself, then I am saying this is okay for every other person on this planet to be the same, that they are not worth being gentle, tender and loving with. Same goes for food: if I eat to numb, distance or disregard how I am feeling, then I am confirming to choose that behaviour / pattern is okay for everyone else. The moment I stop and appreciate the fact that I do have a choice, and say no, this is the behaviour I always go to that does not support or help me, it feeds the unloving choice. Then choose something more loving, say going for a walk instead – then in that moment, in that choice of choosing love – every single person on the planet has that choice available to them; they may or may not choose it, that’s up to them, but they have a choice. Just as Serge Benhayon has shown all of us.
So true Robyn, a word that brings a truth that we do not honour to the level that we need to, this I am very aware of, and am still working with in my everyday choices. Absolute Love is the learning and the journey.
But this is the way people of this world should start to think. We have much more influence on the all than we think. And we are much more part of the all than we think. Everything has a cause and an effect – so too do our choices. It is utterly ignorant and arrogant to not see this – but it is a way which needs to be claimed back and experienced again.
It is a bit of a crazy conundrum that we often treat others with more respect and care than we do ourselves! But if we understand that our particles are made up of God and the universe equal to all others particles, then it brings a whole different perspective to things. For then if we abuse ourselves we are actually abusing the universe and everyone else in it.
Not everybody may see this, but even if we put it on a very personal level, we are affected by someone else’s choices to misuse their body in any way if emotional, by disregard or even alcohol and drugs. We can be attached or not, the disharmony has an direct affect on the people around.
Yes andrewmooney26, it is a sad fact that in our society most people find it acceptable and even ‘normal’ that we abuse ourselves and dishonour what we feel. It is regarded to be a personal thing.
I agree Sarah Davis that if we see our bodies as just flesh and bone then this leads us to approach life in a way that is far more reckless and all about survival and self preservation. A miserable way to live. When we feel the inter-connectedness of our particles with everyone and everything else it expands our meaning of life to something much grander.
What I realised when reading this blog is that often we believe we own our bodies and we can do with them what we like, even trash or abuse them, because we think we have a right to do so. Seeing our bodies as particles that the universe actually owns and we are custodians of those particles changes everything. It brings in a whole lot more responsibility. Thank you AM.
So true, andrewmooney26. It is a really arrogant way of living that you describe here. And this arrogance can get in the way of us being truly responsible in the way we need to, in order to understand how what we do and the quality in how we do it, impacts on not just other people and our planet, but the whole universe.
Robyn when I look back on the years that I trashed my body, it is not so much an arrogance that propelled my behaviour but a need to relieve the discomfort that I was feeling. Had someone told me at the time that I was made up of particles of the Universe it would have made no difference what so ever to how I was behaving, such was my need to not feel my own irritation. It is only after having removed my need to self soothe that I am free to make loving decisions on behalf of my body.
I like the idea of simply being the custodians of the particles, they are on lend to us by the universe. If we borrowed a book from the library would we knowingly and willingly do things that wrecked the book? Yet this is what we do to the particles that are on loan to us because we think we own them. I like this idea of the particles being on loan to us from the universe because it takes the personal/individual feeling out of the picture and the outlook becomes more universal.
What a great analogy here tonisteenson – being custodians of the universe just as we are custodians of a book from the library… When we borrow a book, how we take care of this book, affects the next person who borrows the book, and hence this analogy provides an even clearer picture of this universality and the responsibility we have to take care of ourselves knowing that this is always impacting another.
Very true. It brings responsibility to the fore, that our body is not just belonging to us as individuals, but the whole is affected in how we treat it. If we dull it, make it racy or wear it down, then there is a ripple effect.
Yes it does Annie, responsibility and a greater sense of connectedness.
It is great to name this belief as we all fall for it in varying degrees. Seeing our body as ours to use and abuse, separate from everything else, means we end up not taking care of it. This factor alone can explain so much of the self-abuse and disregard that occurs in the world and the resulting ill health we are experiencing as a species.
Thanks again AM, I had to read this, this morning because of some choices I made yesterday I feel in my body today, reading your blog has put everyting in perspective this morning and I feel my beautiful responsibility to live the fact I am, we are God.
I agree Stephen, and it is interesting how everything in society is geared to make us strive for individualism… To steer us away from discovering who we truly are? It makes you wonder.
Yes, I second that, the matter of fact that we are made of the stuff God is made of and therefore we are God as much as everybody and everything else is God.
I can so relate to what you are writing. I used my body often as a shield to protect myself and others until I realized how abusive that is and how much hardening is required to do so, which is so unnatural for the body, as it is such a sensitive and fragile structure.
Speaking of abuse, if we accept abuse in anyway we are not only abusing ourselves but also the other, as we all share the particles that make us. To treat each other with love and reflect this love for one another creates a spaciousness in our particles for more love to flow through.
My body sings and my particles dance feeling their rightful place, each one carrying the spark of God. Like magic the particles configure to create a body of light which we inhabit to be this light on earth, interacting with all the other equal sparks of God on this planet and beyond it. To live in honour of the particles and the space we occupy in the universe is our responsibility to the evolution of us all. Our every particle carrying the divine intelligence of the universe. Thank you AM for rekindling my love of particles.
‘I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe’. I have taken on the responsibility for taking care of or protecting these particles – this makes it all very real, so very precious and tender and all of this is right now in this moment. Time to ask the question – ‘What am I going to do and how am I going to ‘Be’ knowing this truth?’. Profound AM, Thank you.
Reading through your mind blowing article for the umteenth time, AM, I am feeling the absoluteness in my connection to God and his love for all of us, for all of the particles he has created. I have spent too many years not appreciating how much my matter, matters, in spite of God creating us all. That is an extremely humbling feeling. It’s surely not possible for us to ever feel again that our beautiful particles, and, how we treat them, does not matter.
Can you imagine if we were sat down as a young child and explained what our body truly represents and the part we are here to play? Thank you AM, it is rare that we have our body and our relationship with the entire universe talked about in such a straightforward way.
You are so right. And when I read blogs like this I kinda freak out at the garbage that I have read them in the past, at bed time! This is the gold that we need to be confirming our children with. Game changing stuff like this. And, from my own experience I can assure you that they would drink it in. Recently they listened to a presentation about the Golden Ratio – a complicated mathematical equation, so particles and matter should be a breeze! My point being that what I have found is that even if they don’t necessarily grasp the full intellectual detail, they absolutely grasp the fact of the bigger picture and that they are part of something far greater. Pure wisdom without the toxicity of knowledge.
What a revealing sharing this is AM! Thank you for presenting this eye opening way of viewing the beautiful and precious body that we have been given and with this knowledge I agree, we could not allow anything or anyone abuse us in any way. It is our responsibility to Love and nurture ourselves as the Sons of God that we are.
It’s an interesting question Rachel, I feel it goes back to the ‘self’, us choosing to be separate, wanting to do our own thing, being seen as an individual, feeling like we have control over our lives …… and as a consequence of this delusion, we mistreat our selves in the misguided belief that it doesn’t really matter, or, even worse, we don’t even realise we’re doing it. When we are given something precious to look after, we know we’re giving it back, so we take great care to look after it, so we can give it back in the same condition we received it in. Knowing we are custodians of our particles, from God, brings a whole new level of responsibility.
I love the truth in your blog AM, when we take the personal out of it we begin to clearly see the grand plan we are a part of and how we have a responsibility in the way we live in it, as everything we do effects all of us.
Yes, it’s a beautiful combination that keeps us humble and filled with grace.
It was a wonderful confirmation to read your blog AM. I have had the same realisation, that our body is our little part of the universe we have been given temporary custodianship of. Our body is our part of divinity to take care of and cherish as such. This completely changes how I feel about my body and life.
Thanks, your blog brings a little wake up call, or a responsibility call to how we are each taking care of our particles and therefore how we each affect each other and the universe. Puts things into perspective!
What a lovely blog AM. Realising myself as a constellation of particles which come from God and they are alive and pulsing with the Universe is the most amazing thing. Appreciating the responsibility of that is beyond my minds limited comprehension, but that doesn’t stop me from the KNOWING that I am a being of light, that in my essence I know and feel everything, awesome arn’t we?
Thank you so much AM. The part I part-icularly love is the part about the particles and our part and place in the Universe; so, in fact, All of it. 🙂
A truck of Love…this is beautiful Alexis. Indeed, Michael is a remarkable man and I have so much love and respect for him.
This is awesome AM – it takes away the personal, makes life about everyone and everything in the whole Universe, and certainly brings us back soundly to self responsibility and the part we all play in the big, big picture.
What a gorgeous blog AM, claiming the ordinary/extraordinary divinity that resides within, you we/are God, fact.
Being a custodian of our body changes everything. If this were felt and truly lived by us all, it wouldn’t be possible to have a body that was obese or anorexic, tattooed or pierced, used purely for sexual pleasure, or extreme sports, etc. It really does change everything and brings home the level of responsibility we each have in how we treat ourselves and others.
Reading your list of some of the many ways we treat and abuse our bodies makes me see quite how much we take them for granted. The fact that our bodies can put up with so much is a miracle itself and shows the love we are held in. We are not punished for disrespecting for our bodies rather given many constant reminders and nudges to be more loving with ourselves. Yes there does come a day when our body has to say enough is enough but this is after it has given us many signs along the way.
Great point James about not being punished for how we treat our body, but given many, many constant messages that we’re not treating ourselves with the love and care we deserve. Unfortunately, many people see illness as some kind of punishment from God, or feel like victims to the illness rather than seeing it as an opportunity to stop our ill ways.
It is sad Sandra how most people do not see illness and disease as an opportunity to stop and assess they have been living up to that point. So many people will get a major illness, spend awhile recovering only to go back to living the same way which got them ill in the 1st place. We really are not as intelligent a species as we think we are!
I agree James. Illness is often seen as an inconvenience, something to endure until we are back on our feet again and able to do exactly what we did before the illness or accident. But that is missing the point. It is a missed opportunity to change an ill way of living to make it more loving and harmonious.
What a beautiful piece of writing AM from you and your particles 🙂 I felt the grandness you spoke of reading this and how when we make life about ourselves, us, our needs – we miss out on so much.
I am back AM .. again, and each time I read or ponder the words “I am the custodian of these particles …” I notice a little pain in my lower back of my left hip and feel to change my posture and I feel more expanded when I do. I sense that every move I make impacts my particles which belongs to the All and so, affects the All and my sense of responsibility shoots off the charts in the most lovely way.
Awareness is the name of life AM. Without awareness and awareness of the bigger picture and the fact we are made up of particles, we just carry on in the same vein – getting caught up in life’s dilemmas. Having a bigger picture and not just considering ourselves, really can open up and change our perspective on life making it much easier to deal with.
Groundbreaking blog, AM. You have given us the opportunity to remember from our bodies what you share: “My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.”
Also you offer us another level of responsibility on the importance of taking care of our bodies, like Serge always presented.
I used to think that for divinity the body didn’t matter. Who would have thought that taking care of our body is the gateway to heaven?
‘I am the custodian of these particles, and the space they occupy in the universe. I am responsible for this space, and for what happens on it, around it, and within it’. Wowee, AM, this is simply beautiful, profound and yet so simply expressed. A lovely blog!
After reading your blog and realising that we are all made of particles from the same source, I have a deeper appreciation of how our thoughts and actions can have a ripple affect on others across the planet. Thanks AM
AM this is so beautiful and true. Thank You.
I can relate to having accepted control, aggression and manipulation towards me. Only last week I’ve actually been honest enough to admit that I completely check out when somebody’s angry with me. I just don’t want to know. My strategy is to completely numb myself and act like I am under control… I am in control, but not from the opposite of a loving perspective. What’s underneath feels very very fragile. But, for the first time as far as I can remember, I actually let go of the identification. I do sense that I am not the escape, the anger, etc. It will unfold from tenderness and surrendering and not from drive (as I’ve bought into for a long long time).
Gosh, feeling into the fact that ‘My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.’, makes me feel very honouring of these particles, at a totally different level of self care. Thank you AM.
Thank you AM for showing what a level of self-care should be the standard to honour all that we are.
Yes — and the reminder that it is actually shirking a huge responsibility to not self-care, because without this as our foundation we will never truly get to know and feel that we are a Son of God.
Such a beautiful inspiring blog AM. To know that we are all made up of the particles of this beautiful universe and that every each one of us is important. This calls for greater responsibility as all that we do and say for ourselves affects every one else on this planet.
Once we realise how truly precious we are, we can take responsibility, step into our power and appreciate that we are indeed equally of God.
YES Jenny. This powerful blog serves an an amazing confirmation of this and the fact that to consider ourselves as any less, to allow thoughts in that diminish us, is playing teeny, teeny small in a universe that needs us to be the magnificence that we actually are. We’ve all got a part to play in God’s plan and He is waiting for every single one of us to sit alongside him, in equallness and grace.
I love what you have said Katerina. Claiming back and respecting our bodies and allowing the love that we are to flow freely is empowering indeed and we realise that we can no longer play small and insignificant. ‘We’ve all got a part to play in God’s plan and He is waiting for every single one of us to sit alongside him, in equallness and grace.’ I say ‘yes’ to that.
Oh my golly-blimey-goodnees-gracious-gosh. That is a holy-smoker of a blog AM. But what is so amazing about it is that; on the one hand it is totally cosmic, yet on the other hand it is magnificently simple and accessible – just like THE TRUTH. I will never forget this blog.
I’m with you Ottobathurst – I can’t stop thinking about it. This blog is a show stopping, game changing experience. Hats off and much gratitude to AM.
So true ottobathurst, the language of the soul is divinely simple and resounds within us all.
I’m laughing ottobathhurst, as you took the words out of my mouth, cor blimey!!! Yes I got stopped in my tracks by the “cosmic’ universal part of it then the practical simplicity and accessibility. Thank you AM, I will never forget this blog either. A celebration, fireworks, the lot, are going on within me as I feel the fact of my particles.
Otto, I am laughing, a lot, at your gorgeous opening line ; ) because it is so innocently funny but so pertinent in its expression to AM’s magnificent blog. It is exactly as you say, utterly cosmic but equally utterly profound in its simplicity. To understand that we are ‘custodians of particles’ and that these particles will one day be part of another persons make up, takes the responsibility we have to live a life of truth to a whole different level.
Such divine wisdom being shared here. Thankyou.
It is very beautiful, and so simple when you think of it.
I’m with you there Elodie, and the amazing sentence about all our particles being of the same make up, each body being of the same make up. Its incredible to understand things to be this way.
So true michelle819. It is really interesting that we often go down the path of giving our bodies over to others in the name of service in the false belief that self sacrifice actually helps others. It is so clear that this is not the case. True love and true responsibility considers the ‘all’ not simply the whims of another.
What an incredible piece of writing AM. The truth you share here is so profound yet simple and easy to grasp. I had never considered myself as a ‘custodian of particles’ before and yet every cell of my body resonates with the fact this is the truth, Thank you.
“My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.” How magnificently expressed AM. Our particles will be in many bodies, so what an opportunity to offer humanity, our brothers and sisters, our future selves, the healthiest most vibrant particles, and to evolve humanity forward by being aware, now, what our particles are being fed.
These lines sure are magnificent Rosemary, MA has raised questions within the answers of that sentence. I am left wanting to know more- what are particles? How do they move? Is this blog perhaps referring to the particles that make us up chemically as well as particles we are yet to be able to measure? Do particles have consciousness? Whatever the answers are, of greatest significance is shared in this blog- particles connect us all and move between us all, have traveled through the ages and make all and everything a part of divinity.
It certainly does take the personal out of it AM when we dare to realise that our particles are shared and that we’re all from the one same source. Therefore if we fight another we’re attacking ourselves. Hard to take in, but true.
When I feel my body and realise that it’s made of the same materials as everything else in the universe, all the universe is in reach.
You’ve said it so perfectly Nico. By abusing these particles we allow others to abuse these particles too- saying “it’s okay”. Thank you for highlighting what AM said about being custodians of these particles, it brings such a bigger picture. It’s no longer about us singularly, but about everyone. Especially as we share particles.
And to add to this Emily, when we treat the particles with love and care this imprint will also be shared with the universe and available for other bodies to build on. The impact of and the importance of self care and self-love has come on a complete new level to me by the understanding that we are all connected through our particles as well.
Totally Nico. The level of responsibility is absolute as it encompasses everything and everyone. And once love is felt, why would we go anywhere else?
Yes so true Nico- true responsibly at a particle level.
I agree Matthew, I can cringe looking back at what I’ve rented my body out for in situations. Forgetting we are sons of God can have detrimental affects on how we use our body.
Holey cow AM. Beautiful delivery- the whole thing. Talk about a bigger picture. “My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.” There is so much within these few line that open me up to feeling something so so much more then my body just doing what it’s doing. No longer renting it out for others, as we are a part of God.
‘Treat your body the same way as God would treat his’ A blog in a sentence Joe, it made this body of God tingle.
Yes James, seeing ourselves as “custodians” breaks through so many ideals especially the irresponsibility of the belief that our bodies are ours to do what we like with.
Thank you AM this is just gorgeous. I agree the Benhayons have a way with ‘throwaway’ lines – that give you the everything, I agree, ever so simply! However in truth nothing is ever “thrown away”, hence the falseness in this dictionary definition. Thank you for sharing the responsibility of particles and energy before ‘matter’… What a new perspective !
This is what may take humanity a long time to realise. That self-seeking doesn’t remotely come close to the glorious feeling of being connect to the all and God.
So true, and how beautiful Tracy, as we take a moment to appreciate all that we are being offered in that connection and how consistently we are being offered the all when we allow ourselves a moment of connection and feel the magic of God that is there for us all.
It really is amazing how we value others more than ourselves and yet the illusion is we can’t value others like we tend to think if in truth we aren’t valuing ourselves first.
I loved that line too Anna. So simply put yet so mind bogglingly amazing to ponder and truly feel. The feeling of the responsibility to be a one unified truth was really sparked by this blog.
So beautifully spot on. I can relate to your choices of never choosing to abuse others but have abused myself for decades and was under the illusion that it was all harmless. Now knowing that every thought, action and word may heal or harm the universe places an enormous amount of responsibility on how I would like to make choices in my life. Your blog was a great reminder that I belong to a bigger picture and plan and that I am divine and equal to all and God. Amazing, thank you.
AM, this is a stupendous article of the ‘gathering back of the particles’ to realign to divinity. The body is not only our vital vehicle for being able to live this life, it is also the vital key to bringing us back to the Soul that we are. Any kind of abuse whether from others or from self gravely hinders our health and wellbeing as well as our return to where we came from. The body is not ours to maltreat. We are as AM says ‘custodians’ who must tenderly care for and nurture these precious vehicles of ours.
What a beautiful blog AM. I love how our bodies are made of divine particles from the Universe since the beginning of time and how we actually exchange particles. And I really love how you present that you are the ‘custodian of these particles and the space they occupy in the Universe’. This give a whole wider perspective on what we are dealing with here. Are our bodies ‘ours’ to wilfully trash with toxic food and thoughts, to push to extreme limits, to neglect or despise? No they are made of divinity and therefore are worthy of great love and care. It does make life ‘far less personal and far more lovely’!
Like others I love what you are feeling and have expressed here, especially ‘My body is made of particles of the Universe – particles that have been here since the beginning of time. These particles came from the stars, and have made up many bodies before mine, and will be in many bodies hereafter.’ This is something for me to be with, gosh what if we all felt like this how amazing would that be? It would take Earth and humanity to a whole new level.
Absolutely Anna, so well said. All differences fall away when we know what our true purpose is on this earthy place. We are each one part of an amazing whole.
As I read this awesome blog this time around I felt the expansion in my body knowing that my particle do not belong to me, they belong to God and to the Divine Plan — what I have is the responsibility of looking after them on this physical plane of life in order for God’s work to be done. It makes everything so simple and as you say far less personal. We cannot indulge in drama and misery when we know we are part of something so monumental and grand.
What a great simple way AM to look at the ‘big picture’ and take a larger dose of that medicine called ‘Responsibility”.
Each of us has a responsibility how we choose to take care of our body and this blog is speaking volumes if we are ready and open.
Your simplicity makes this post very clear and accessible and thank you deeply as I appreciate reading this type of inspiring expression that gives us so much more.
My particles feel expanded so I KNOW this blog holds Truth.
I love how you expand our awareness for us AM. So often we are not aware of our bodies at all or the impact of the harming behaviours we indulge in has upon them, until they really hurt, and then we can become totally obsessed by the hurts and very inward looking. What you have given us is a freedom to take that exquisite and delicate responsibility by feeling under and through the dense matter of our bodies to the energy that links us all and unites us as one body in the body of God. How we express and move through space then naturally gives us an ability to recognise how we can respond to anything or anybody without losing ourselves and giving ourselves away.
“I would never knowingly abuse another person, or allow another to be abused, but I have willingly accepted abuse from others, and have certainly abused myself.” Isn’t it crazy that we do this. This is the case for me too. I am slowly coming to feel the deeper levels of abuse that I have allowed in the past, and I am also honouring the body I am in more and more. The deeper honouring is allowing the deeper awareness of the past abuse. It feels vile and it feels awful that I would have allowed this, but there is a celebration at the same time because I am choosing not to allow this anymore.
