The word LOVE….

This compact unpretentious little word has perhaps more power crammed into its meagre four letters than almost any other word.

We can apparently make, give or send it, but when we lose it or are deprived of it, we are torn apart.

I recently attended an esoteric yoga workshop on quality of being versus quantity of doing.

Unlike the yoga classes that are all about postures and breath, Esoteric yoga allows you the time and space to connect to your body and be still.

I learnt so much about myself – it was awesome. Since the workshop I have been observing myself throughout the day.

For example, when I wake up in the morning I go straight into this autopilot (which I wasn’t even aware of up until this last week)… my mind goes into thinking, “what will I make for breakfast?” “what will I pack for my daughter’s lunch?” “what do I have to DO today?” – and then I jump out of bed and start DOING. I never stopped to feel how I was; it was all just Do, Do, DO!

This week I have woken up, ignored the impulse to DO, and just stayed with me in my bed to feel me, to feel my being.  (It hasn’t been an easy task, as I feel that I am a creature of habit!) Continue reading “Esoteric Yoga – To Do or To BE?” →

I grew up being told that evil was someone harming another, or plotting to harm another; a severe act involving blood, pain and at times death, and something to fear. This ugliness wasn’t spoken about much and was hushed-up by people, but we all knew it was there, lurking beneath the surface somewhere until it exploded out with a crime of some description.

Evil was also something I was taught at a young age was synonymous with the Devil and with hell’s raging inferno beneath the ground – where anyone doing wrong would live out their afterlife. There was certainly a feeling of everlasting condemnation and punishment for being ‘evil’, and that this sentencing would be at God’s hand. I was told that God would stop loving us if we were imperfect and did wrong. It never made sense to me how God, who ‘loves us unconditionally’, and is ‘all-knowing’ and ‘all-loving’, would ever be able to punish, judge or condemn.

Growing up it became easy to see the obvious evils  – the disturbing image of some kind, or the evil act – yet all the time overlooking the subtle, hidden evils that we live with and widely accept in everyday life – evils that remain unchecked and do great harm.

“I well know that, not being a literary man, certain presumptuous persons will think they may reasonably deride me with the allegation that I am a man without letters. Stupid fellows! Do they not know that I might reply as Marius did in answering the Roman patricians, by saying that they who adorn themselves with the labours of others, will not concede to me my very own: they will say that, not having learning, I will not properly speak of that which I wish to elucidate. But do they not know that my subjects are to be better illustrated from experience than by yet more words? — experience which has been the mistress of all those who wrote well, and, thus as mistress, I will cite her in all cases.” (Leonardo da Vinci)

One of the delightful things about truth is that it can be expressed in so many different ways. Continue reading “Let Experience be your Mistress” →

“Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.” (Matthew 22:21)

So I can say that I have done a fair bit of rendering to Caesar: creating a business and considerable employment; paying rates, multiple taxes and speeding fines; voting for the good, the bad and the indifferent in equal measure – with giving back to the community and the environment in there as well.

As to God, well there’s always been this sense of a love of God – that occasionally seemed to waver (but not really), and didn’t get rendered to that much at times, but which, when felt tenderly enough, was always there. Continue reading “Caesar, me, and Universal Medicine” →

Before Universal Medicine, life for me was just a game of recognition. There were good days, there were bad, and this depended always on how much or how little I was recognised or accepted by others. The good days saw me loved, appreciated and valued, but this love, appreciation and value never came from within me, it always stemmed from the outside world – my family, peers or work colleagues. My relationship with life and with myself was totally dependent upon the amount of recognition I received. I was very much a product of what life dealt me!

My first experience with Universal Medicine was in February 2007 when my partner (now wife) attended a presentation. I was intrigued and asked her many questions, until she suggested that I come along and find out for myself.

Thank goodness I was open-minded enough to agree – and now, at the age of 63, I am far wiser about myself, life, people and what makes our world tick. Continue reading “I Can’t Help Wondering why we don’t Learn this at School” →

I am so incredibly grateful, every day, for discovering the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. My experience of Serge over these past few years is of someone who is willing to tell the truth, who does not hold back from the truth, who is prepared to open his heart to the world and love without judgment, and who has the utmost integrity in his work and in how he lives every day. For me, this is someone to be inspired by. If someone is here, showing me how it is possible to live in this world, not just being happy and ok with life, but is consistently able to share joy, openness and love, then I want to know what I can do to help me discover that for myself.

The ways in which my life has been enriched through knowing Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, are far too numerous to here mention. In short, the absolute dedication of this man, and the vehicle that is Universal Medicine, continues to blow me away. Before meeting Serge, I had long sought wisdom and truth – only ever finding ‘pieces’ of it here and there. In honesty, I’d given up on there being what one might call “true truth”.

I ‘researched’ much, but there were always ‘holes’ – particularly in the people imparting the so-called wisdom, and how they lived their lives, yet also in underlying beliefs that denigrated and subjugated women, people of differing religion, and the rest. And then there was the ‘new age’ – ever taking us outside ourselves to ‘escape’, or even to attempt to arrogantly ‘dominate’ this ‘cruel world’. Could there actually be something with ‘no holes’, that answered ALL my questions, and that actually reflected back to me that I knew ‘it all’ deep within myself?  Continue reading “Absolute Love” →
