What Universal Medicine has given me are tools to help me connect to more of the love that I am. These tools do not involve worshipping Serge Benhayon, any member of his family, or any other practitioner linked to Universal Medicine. They are simple, practical and effective ways of living a life which is more honest and more loving in every way. Continue reading “Choose Love – it Really is that Simple”
I used to think being a woman was about looking beautiful, having my nails painted and pampering myself. And that nurturing myself was having massages often and having a pedicure. I was always very focused on having a great body – muscular and lean and I took pride in displaying that body that I had worked hard for to show to others how I was taking care of myself. I pretty much strutted it around.
I remember running my body into the ground in order to maintain this image I had painstakingly created for myself which included maximising a gym membership and taking yoga classes – all in the quest to be as beautiful as all of the women I saw on magazine covers.
I felt the pressure to be perfect, flawless, fit and pretty in order to have a happy life and the man of my dreams. Continue reading “Esoteric Women’s Health: What does it mean to be a Woman?”

I used to love eating cake for breakfast.
When I was younger, I would save a piece of my birthday cake and eat it the next morning. It was the best part of my birthday. Really!
When I was older, it became cake and coffee. I would skip breakfast and go straight to morning tea. It was my favourite meal of the day.
I came to realise I was using food.
I was using food to pick me up in the mornings, to fuel me through the day, to reward myself at night for a hard day’s work. I was using food because I was exhausted. I was also using food to dull my feelings, to comfort myself, to sweeten my sadness. Continue reading “Cake for Breakfast”

Not so long ago I managed to escape from a large and very powerful cult. I was born into this cult so grew up not knowing any better but still the hold it had over me was strong and my parents and siblings are still part of it.
There were strict rules about who I should and shouldn’t marry, there were clear rules about what I should and shouldn’t do on any given day. We would attend ‘Prayer Meetings’ where one of the church leaders would share interpretations from the bible and implore us to ‘be better people’ (and give money of course). The church leader would be positioned as the one that understood ‘the word’ and would interpret it for us (only males were allowed to have this role). Continue reading “Help!… I was Part of a Cult”

Over the past few days, a number of articles have been posted by the Sydney Morning Herald and other smaller newspapers accusing Universal Medicine of being a cult, followed by further accusations about its so called followers, and the fact that they refer to their “cult leader” as the one. The original article in the Sun Herald based much of its findings on the reports of a small hand-full of disgruntled people, and made further claims through insinuation that Serge Benhayon was a money making relationship destroying cult leader.
My experience is that this is a complete and utter fabrication and total misrepresentation of the truth. I have been attending lectures presented by Universal Medicine for over six years now, and feel I am therefore in a position of some authority to comment on the many mis-truths that have been presented in these articles based on my first hand experience.

My name is Sharon Maree Bisset and I live in Ontario, Canada. I am an Australian living abroad and while on a recent visit home I attended several of the Universal Medicine discussions and groups. The people I met were very open, caring and easy to get to know. The topics of the talks I attended spoke very clearly to me of love and gentleness and how to take care to slow down in my life and enjoy my relationship with myself, others and God. Each topic brought me closer to the realisation that we all have a part to play here on Earth, firstly to ourselves by keeping our bodies healthy, then to others and then to our environment.
