Life-giving Wisdom: It’s In The Way We Live

by Dr Lyndy Summerhaze, BA, PhD., DipMusEd, AmusA, Australia

I have been associated with Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon for five years now and I have found nothing but the highest integrity, goodwill and just plain good sense. Getting to feel this last quality – plain good sense – in the midst of a world of complication, has been one of the most liberating things I have ever experienced, enabling me to let go of a crippling life of turmoil and drama.

Over these years as I attended talks and courses, I have felt a call to come out of my hiding away from the world and just getting through as best I could, to now participating joyfully in life and making a contribution. The way this was accomplished was not through imposition of any kind – there was no telling me what to do. There was simply the presentation of an elegant truth that we all originally come from love and that this is the stuff we are made of.

Serge presented that everything is in fact energy (something scientifically verified by Albert Einstein) and that therefore the quality of energy we use as we live is all-important. This was something I had known in part, but had never realised the all-encompassing nature of before. I realised that everything I did and said was expressed in a certain quality of energy, and that this energy had an impact on everyone and everything around me. For example, I could really feel the difference between something done with care and love and something done in resentment, and the effect this had on my own body. It became clear to me that we are living as if in a ‘sea’ of energy, and that each of us is responsible for how that ‘sea’ is feeling. Once I could feel this for myself, I felt connected to all other beings and, instead of operating like the Lone Ranger, I felt the possibility of living in a way that was not harming to another. I have by no means mastered this, but the beauty of even my imperfect living of this truth is indescribable.

This way of living does not in any way deny the fact that the world is in a mess – it sees what is there to be seen and does not judge. It enables one to connect with the truth in another, and be able to say ‘no’ to anything that is not love. This has totally transformed my relationships so that I can now express, with respect, what I am feeling without fear, and also openly hear what another has to say. The freedom from pain that this has brought is truly amazing. The freedom to live joy-fully is even more amazing.

Family and friends from the past have all spontaneously expressed how they can see and feel the change in me. I visited a friend’s mother who lives nearby, and when I came home from the visit, the phone was ringing as I walked in the door. It was my friend. Her mother had already rung her up to say how amazing I was looking and feeling and said to her daughter, “I want what she’s got”. The truth is, she can have exactly the same, if she chooses it, as it is already inside of her.

My brother’s family have said similar things. When they arrived at my place last year, they exclaimed that the house was looking great since I’d repainted it on the inside. I replied that I hadn’t painted it. My brother said that it looked repainted, so fresh and light and new. Then my sister-in-law said, “I know, it’s like this because Lyndy is living in it… it is the way she lives.” I was momentarily stunned to hear these words! Our beautiful connection with each other has continued from here.

My heart is full of thanks to Serge Benhayon and the UniMed team for sharing this life-giving wisdom with us all. It is a treasure we all possess, without exception, and one that can never be taken away.

  1. We watch each other, even if we aren’t aware we are always watching, changing and modelling ourselves on what we see and feel. So what are you modelling to everyone and as the article states I can see what the author is modelling. We feel much more then we say we see and from this this is how we watch, not with our eyes so much but with all of our 6 senses.

  2. The ‘Lone Ranger’ syndrome is big in this world. Many of us think we are alone in what we do, even in our ‘private’ moments doing things we don’t want other to know about is proof of this perspective. Yet, we are forgetting the bigger picture – that we are all connected and cannot escape the fact of energy and our energetic responsibility.

  3. I love how much power we see through this article and yet with a simple message of ‘it’s all there and can be accessed from the way you live’. This is very freeing and equal in that you don’t need any special powers, opportunities or gifts, you only need the dedication to live the way you see things truly need to be and from there everything else reveals itself back to you. It’s like whatever and however you see it needs to be is there for all of us and the only question is how much you want to be revealed from the way you are, the quality you live. There is a direct link to your quality that then matches or pulls in the quality of what is around you. Almost like the true quality of how you are is the centre of everything and yet isn’t seperate because of how it all is linked, amazing to see and feel.

  4. Thank you Lyndy. The world would be a far healthier and more enjoyable place to be were we to allow ourselves to return to our natural living way which is basically what Universal Medicine is presenting.

  5. It is interesting to consider how we as a humanity have chosen to omit the fundamental truth and proven fact from the foundations of our learning and understanding as children, including our relationship with the universe which we are inescapable part of, that who we are in essence is energy, and that our world is one that is energetically derived. If this basic understanding was present and presented as such as we grew up, of honoring the love and truth that truly defines us, imagine the world we would be living in today and the quality of life we would be living as a humanity? If this innate awareness was developed in us all as children we would be making vastly different choices today, and the lovelessness and abuse that we are currently witnessing in our world would not be considered or accepted as ‘normal’.

  6. “It became clear to me that we are living as if in a ‘sea’ of energy, and that each of us is responsible for how that ‘sea’ is feeling. Once I could feel this for myself, I felt connected to all other beings and, instead of operating like the Lone Ranger,” . . . yes Lyndy I can relate as before I came across Universal Medicine and the understanding “that everything is energy and therefore everything is because of energy” as presented by Serge Benhayon I also felt I was operating like the Lone Ranger so this reference made me laugh.

  7. When we apply that which we know inside out – it is our wisdom.
    When we think – it is only knowlegde.
    From here we need to observe life. Simple starting with us.

  8. A beautiful confirmation that the way we live is reflected in how we are felt by everyone we meet.

  9. Honest communication is important all the time, great to hear how your expression changed, ‘This has totally transformed my relationships so that I can now express, with respect, what I am feeling without fear, and also openly hear what another has to say.’ Wonderful.

  10. Most people can feel the difference in this, and the harm when not choosing love, so why do we keep on choosing it, ‘I could really feel the difference between something done with care and love and something done in resentment, and the effect this had on my own body.’ We are meant to be intelligent, and yet our behaviours do not always reflect this.

  11. Lyndy I love this simple yet powerful example you have shared here about energy ‘ I could really feel the difference between something done with care and love and something done in resentment, and the effect this had on my own body.’

  12. The reflection of our livingness cannot be denied – everyone is feeling everything, whether we like to admit and be aware of it or not. This is a reminder of the level of responsibility we have in the way we live and how that is shared with one another. We can energetically inspire those who’s eyes choose to see the light of our lived way.

    1. Beautifully said Rachael. We all do know truth, and inspiring it is when we see how living our truth, being our real selves, is as natural as breathing.

  13. “I could really feel the difference between something done with care and love and something done in resentment, and the effect this had on my own body. It became clear to me that we are living as if in a ‘sea’ of energy, and that each of us is responsible for how that ‘sea’ is feeling. Once I could feel this for myself, I felt connected to all other beings and, instead of operating like the Lone Ranger, I felt the possibility of living in a way that was not harming to another. I have by no means mastered this, but the beauty of even my imperfect living of this truth is indescribable.” Most beautifully said how the simple and little steps of allowing ourselves to see and feel what we feel and bringing this into our daily life can bring immense joy and fulfilment.

  14. The inside of your house looking as if it been painted is also a reflection that you had ‘re-painted’ your ‘inside’. It is so true, change you and your world changes.

  15. “I have by no means mastered this, but the beauty of even my imperfect living of this truth is indescribable.” Yes it is, it is incredible and amazing about discovering the truth of you and discarding what is not you. It is not easy sometimes with the distraction of being identified with what comes out. Being it an awful emotion or an elating feeling of love. Thus is the responsibility of being you.

  16. On reading this article today this sentence brings to me a moment to stop. “This way of living does not in any way deny the fact that the world is in a mess – it sees what is there to be seen and does not judge.” When really considered this is so very freeing, for whilst one sees the mess and judges we are trapped in the very same mess. But, when one can see and stay steady we are free of the trap and are a beacon for the world – a way for another to also free themselves.

  17. “It is a treasure we all possess, without exception, and one that can never be taken away.”
    I love that statement Lyndy and agree, we do all have this preciousness inside, we only need to re-discover it.

  18. Dear Lyndy,
    How we live, everyone of us, is seen by those around us. To see and feel love lived, cannot be missed, to accept the gift it brings to others is also not to be shied away from, but to be embraced and lived more.

  19. I love the example of your brother thinking your house had been painted when it hadn’t, that’s such a great example of how we actually see energy, and how the energy of something actually effects what it looks like.

  20. “There was simply the presentation of an elegant truth that we all originally come from love and that this is the stuff we are made of.” How beautifully expressed it is indeed an elegant truth that we come from love and are made of it.

  21. I love these beautiful heartfelt words of truth that you share Lyndy and the gorgeous confirmations you have received from living your love so simply and elegantly. Living in this way makes the ‘invisible’ visible so that others can’t help but notice and want to live that which resides within them also but is yet to be expressed out.

  22. I love your following example Lyndy: “For example, I could really feel the difference between something done with care and love and something done in resentment, and the effect this had on my own body.” That is such a simple way to explain what we all in truth are abel to feel even when we deny it – energy.

  23. Hi Lyndy …this blog is a joy to read . . . particularly this line . . . “It became clear to me that we are living as if in a ‘sea’ of energy, and that each of us is responsible for how that ‘sea’ is feeling.” This line brings home the extent of our responsibility and completely wipes blame out of the water.

  24. Lyndy, a delight to read your blog again. “There was simply the presentation of an elegant truth that we all originally come from love and that this is the stuff we are made of.” This truth from Serge Benhayon has also transformed my life and continues to do so. It’s not a concept but something felt within that is confirmed as a living truth. Now I have reconnected to it I am learning to be and live from this love everyday and as you say, it’s beautiful!

  25. Wisdom has become a trophy perceived to be unattainable to the many. However living everyday wisdom is something we all possess.

  26. “There was simply the presentation of an elegant truth that we all originally come from love and that this is the stuff we are made of.” A beautiful sentence and one that resonates with me. Serge Benhayon invites you to meet the love that you already are in your inner-heart and it is then your choice to live love in all you do.

  27. Ha ha brilliant Lucy. Yes definitely low cost – it’s in the way that we live. That would make for great, true and inspiring house makeover TV programmes.

  28. Absolutely gorgeous Lyndy and the wisdom coming from your sister-in-law made me smile. We do all feel energy and when one is living with a particular energetic quality our homes are transformed as well as the way that we look. There are only two forms of energy and so if one can leave us vital, fit and glowing – what is the impact of the other and could it be at the root of our ill health?

  29. I love this Lyndy – “Then my sister-in-law said, “I know, it’s like this because Lyndy is living in it… it is the way she lives.” I was momentarily stunned to hear these words! Our beautiful connection with each other has continued from here.” Beautiful. People do notice us. A few months ago I returned to my old village – where I used to live – meeting many people I hadn’t seen for two years at an event. So many people commented on how well I looked, younger and more vibrant. One even asked me if I had a man in my life – as if one could only look that well if one was in a relationship!

  30. Such validation from friends and family about the way you’re living and its affect on your vitality and your home says it all. It’s in your lived experience, the quality that you hold yourself in and that you emanate – that’s the proof that this works. Surely worthy of serious scientific and medical research?

  31. I love when your friend said ‘I want what she’s got’ you said it was there inside of her always ready to choose. How often have we searched outside of ourselves for this true love when it was always within waiting for us to re-connect to.

  32. What a beautiful confirmation that the energy we choose to live from determines the choices we make in life and these choices regulate the quality of our livingness. It is our choice to take responsibility not just for ourselves but for what we reflect to humanity is a result of our choices.

  33. “I know, it’s like this because Lyndy is living in it… it is the way she lives.” Could there be a better way to express the love you brought into your life Lyndy? The light around you is so bright it is there for everyone to see. Beauty-full.

  34. The fact that the love and light is equally available in us all is quite amazing. Knowing this, it makes no sense to see others as anything else but our equals. The only difference is in the type of energy we choose to run ourselves in, which in itself is worthy of further consideration.

  35. The world is made up of energy as stated in this blog… What we can offer, leaves no second guessing to how we live. As you described Lyndy, your family stated you repainted the house when it had not been and they were feeling the amazing energy of the house that you have made a home.

  36. Lindy this is a gently elegant blog. Reading your words I’m reminded of a statement Serge Benhayon has repeated over the years and that is that “we all feel energy all the time”. How wonderful to receive such heartfelt conformations of your gracious presence and ever increasing love and light. A rose remains exquisitely beautiful from bud until full bloom, the unfolding petals are a joy to behold.

  37. As you say Lyndy – ‘… just plain good sense.’ to live a life with integrity, acceptance and responsibility. There is no desire to impose on others and the way we naturally present ourselves around others is light and joyful. How beautiful!

  38. A brilliant summary of the way life is and can be for all if we choose. So simply and accessibly presented.

  39. A joy and beautifully expressed. I love the the quote near the end about your house and how it is the quality you living, in it, that makes it feel great. Great to appreciate it. Lovely to read that people have been noticing the changes in your life as they have occurred and that they are appreciating them, a great reflection for the world.

  40. Beautifully expressed Lyndy, having known you for many years now I can say you are a light that keeps on shining bright. Your loving choices are deeply inspiring to all who meet you and your joy is very infectious.

  41. Just like you’ve shared Lindy I have come out of hiding away and now fully contributing to the world and it feels great to participate in this joyful way. Life has become much more simple. I love your sharing about the new painted walls, this really says it all, what an awesome reflection!

  42. Thank you Lyndy for such a beautiful blog, a golden oldie if ever there was.
    The particle soup is a sea of energy and each of us is responsible for how that ‘sea’ is feeling.

  43. Lyndy I know all you share to be the absolute truth. I can feel it in your words and in all of my interactions with you. The world would have missed out on untold wisdom, tenderness and loveliness has you chosen to stay as you were. Thank god for Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and you.

  44. This is what it means to be a true inspiration and I love the story about the paint…your love, light and joy is on the walls of your house, and not only there, it is everywhere, as everything is energy.

  45. I love what you share, Lyndy – we cannot help but feel everything around us and how we, and everyone else, is effected by how much love or disregard is put into a task or an interaction. We can either confirm what we feel or plead ignorance – we all have free choice.

  46. Dear Lyndy,
    These sentences stood out for me in your article. ” Once I could feel this for myself, I felt connected to all other beings and, instead of operating like the Lone Ranger, I felt the possibility of living in a way that was not harming to another. I have by no means mastered this, but the beauty of even my imperfect living of this truth is indescribable.”
    I too have felt the connection to all other beings and am working with out perfection on mastering living this truth in full, living the absolute acceptance and equalness, that I feel in this connection. I thank you for writing this as you have for it is so very supportive, to feel just how beautiful my life is now compared to how it was just a few short years ago.

  47. This is so great to read Lyndy, and love how you have made sense of the truth of energy by which our universe and us, are governed. Your words on Universal Medicine and what Serge Benhayon presents: “Getting to feel this last quality – plain good sense – in the midst of a world of complication” totally resonated with me, and agree it is so wonderful for this plain sense, to make such great sense.

  48. Thanks Lyndy, your sharing has once again shown how by simply connecting within and using that as our ‘anchor’ in all that we are and do brings forth a more true way of living. Common sense really 🙂

  49. Lyndy what a gorgeous blog. I love how you refer to the “sea of energy” in which we live and that we are all responsible for our part within that sea, not in the silo sense, but in the sense that if we are irresponsible then how we are affects the whole sea. Your understanding of this, in how you live and how you so joyfully bring you to everything that you do is clearly there for everyone to see.

  50. Love what you have shared here Lyndy and so wonderful to have you out of hiding living the fullness of you, a true inspiration!

  51. It is amazing to read your story Lyndy Summerhaze. That living a life from “plain good sense” can even repaint your house without you physically repainting it. How powerful we are when we allow ourselves to live from the inner beauty we all carry within equally so.

  52. That’s gorgeous Lyndy and what a great confirming comment you received. I once had a conversation with my family about where we were going to set up the massage table in our house (which room to choose) My sister then said, the best room to set it up in would be Ariel’s and everyone agreed saying it was the windows, the garden outside the window, the size as everything was just perfect for a massage table room. I said that this room will remain my bedroom. We all confirmed that it’s the way I conduct myself in my room and the way I keep it all in order that is why the room was the first pick, as impressive as the room is, take me out of it and it’s just an ordinary room.

  53. Beautiful sharing Lyndy. Your experience shows the wonderful reflection we provide for those around us when we choose to live and express from the love that we naturally are.

  54. I love what you wrote about the possibility of living in a way that is harmless to another and the beauty of your imperfect living of this truth being indescribable. What a gorgeous way to live and no wonder that those around you have confirmed the inspiration you are.

  55. Thank you Lyndy for sharing how through the plain good sense presentations of Universal Medicine you ‘have felt a call to come out of my hiding away from the world and just getting through as best I could, to now participating joyfully in life and making a contribution’ and how inspiring you have been to those around you. It is so lovely to read how the ripples of you are emanating out into the world.

  56. Such a beautiful sharing, and a joy to read. Thank you Lyndy for lighting up my afternoon.

  57. I greatly enjoyed reading this again. Living with the awareness that we are all connected and “that we are living as if in a ‘sea’ of energy, and that each of us is responsible for how that ‘sea’ is feeling” makes such a difference to approaching life. As you say it does not get rid of the mess but it enables us to see the truth and by making changes to ourselves results in a ripple of change in that ‘sea of energy’.

  58. Gorgeous Lyndy and oh so true…
    ‘I want what she’s got”. The truth is, she can have exactly the same, if she chooses it, as it is already inside of her’ 😊😊

  59. What a great blog Lyndy, the feeling of having your house repainted because of the energy you are choosing!! Beautiful. I especially love it when you talk about no longer being the Lone Ranger, but being aware of the sea of energy we live in and how we affect each other, in everything we say, think and do. It brings responsibility and also the joy of not being separated.

  60. “the beauty of even my imperfect living of this truth is indescribable.” People who’ve known me for a long time also remark on the change in me. It’s not like a new hairstyle or weight lost or going to the gym or doing a course in self-development; the change they see and feel is much deeper and more lasting. And as you say Lyndy, it comes without having been imposed upon or told what to do.
    In the past I would have felt guilty for feeling so good when others don’t, and would have pulled myself down to stay level with them out of sympathy. Now thanks to Serge Benhayon, I see the error of this, and know that the best gift to others is my whole, radiant, joyful, true self, so others can see it and know they have it too.

    1. Thank you Dianne for the reminder not to go into an old pattern of sympathy and ‘know that the best gift to others is my whole, radiant, joyful, true self, so others can see it and know they have it too.’

  61. Gosh that is so cute hearing what your family said and yes anyone looking at you would certainly feel “I want what she’s got” when they feel your vitality and discover that you are actually about 30 years older than you look. Knowing you, Lyndy I can verify that you have become a walking miracle!

  62. The experience of your brother believing you had painted the inside of your house and your sister-in-law’s comment, “I know, it’s like this because Lyndy is living in it… it is the way she lives” is not not only gorgeous but such a sensory and all-encompassing way of expressing the impact of living from love.

  63. Hi Lyndy, you’ve really encapsulated the simplicity of Serge Benhayon’s presentations and how that looks in one life when practically applied. It was really delightful to read your story!

  64. Lovely to read Lyndy, and particularly the inspiration you have been offering to your friends and family through the changes you have made to your life. The fact they can feel how you are living clearly highlights your sea of energy analogy… providing more proof that this is the way the world works.

  65. Lyndy what inspiring examples, I loved how your family thought you’d re-painted the house inside! It shows we all feel everything.

  66. Thanks for sharing this Dr Lyndy and I too like yourself, have experienced huge changes in my life and my relationships. My parents have noticed not just my weight loss but how consistently joyful I am and the fact my husband has lost over 12 stone in weight cannot be ignored. You would have to be blind freddy to not see the transformation in him!
    Serge Benhayon offered me a ‘U-turn’ as my life felt totally off and going in the wrong direction. It was my choice to return and get back on track. What I respect most of all is there is no imposing, advertising or marketing. You come and go if you feel to, that open door policy remains and I have been around for 9 years now.
    It really is incredible to see so many people change their lives to live a way that is real and simple for them.

  67. Thank you Lyndy. This sentence really stood out for me – “Over these years as I attended talks and courses, I have felt a call to come out of my hiding away from the world and just getting through as best I could, to now participating joyfully in life and making a contribution”. I can really relate to this.

  68. What a confirmation, that your house even looks like new. Fact that everything is energy and as your sister in law pointed out due to your livingness. Beautiful.
