Coming from a long career in university medical and biological research and teaching, and now being free to explore without the limits and pressures of narrowly-focused projects and the quest for funding, I am currently investigating the energetic basis of science, medicine and in fact, everything. If Einstein were around, he could confirm the pre-eminence of energy in every aspect of existence. Just because most of us may perceive everything, including medicine and healing, in purely material terms, doesn’t mean we’re right or have the whole picture. And perhaps by ignoring energy we are missing something important of key relevance to our daily lives.
Good science is always: “This is our best approximation just now, but what we don’t know is and will always be far more than what we do know, and we have to keep an open mind while we explore.” In fact, some branches of science are way ahead of current medicine. I know: I worked there, did the experiments, contributed to the publications, taught doctors, surgeons and medical students. I try to keep up with advances and sometimes communicate about them with my old colleagues, but the sheer volume of knowledge is too great for any one human or field of study to even skim, let alone understand and integrate.
As part of my investigation of energy (quantum and otherwise) and how it affects us, I have been studying and testing the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. So far what I have seen and applied has held up, dove-tailed sensibly with modern science, and been of great benefit to me in my personal life. However recently anonymous detractors have made a stir in the media, and, behaving like Inquisition witch-hunters or Flat-Earthers, have gone on a rampage of lies and persecution against Serge Benhayon and his friends.
Everyone who has ever tried to tell the (uncomfortable) truth in our ‘civilisation’ has been murdered, decapitated, crucified or at least castigated, slandered, shut down or had their funding pulled. Everyone knows at least some examples of this; we learned about them in school and in church. When someone nowadays is treated that way, you have to wonder whether perhaps they might be telling truth that someone (or many someones) don’t want us to hear. It seems to me that it’s in the realms of health, medicine, religion and money that those who benefit most from the status quo have their biggest fear of loss (of control), and thus the most violent reactions to truth.
The media is the willing mouthpiece for those who would keep the status quo, no matter how untruthful it may be. The media looks for the smallest issue with which to attack truth-tellers, and will use bad science, medicine and theology, and even people, to invent the stories they want to broadcast. They contain so little truth and what there is, is distorted, out of context and makes me wonder about those who own the media and what their real agenda is. But they are not alone in this; the pillars of society that want to keep their big share of the world pie are fully behind the media. Sadly, even scientists, doctors and clergymen, whose commitment has traditionally been to truth and to healing, are increasingly falling under the yoke and willingly or not turning against the real needs of the people.
I have directly witnessed in prior and current occasions in a variety of contexts, the propagation by the media of smear campaigns against people I know personally. These people are telling truth (about science, medicine, environment, religion, politics, etc.), and are being harassed and threatened with disgrace, disaffiliation and or shut-down by organisations such as those which control medicine and science in Australia (and overseas). This is personally-witnessed FACT, not conspiracy theory – they don’t want us to hear truth because they don’t want us to have control over our own choices, minds and bodies, for fear that they will lose their control over us.
Note, I personally do not ‘tar with the same brush’ all scientists, doctors, clergymen or journalists, but rather the industries, organisations and governments which pressure them. However all individuals have personal responsibility for what they align to and propagate.
Here is a quote from a random web search, of a 2007 press article in the USA:
“While distorted science is used to promote synthetic chemicals that are extremely dangerous and almost universally ineffective, the same sort of distortion is used to attack anything that could compete with high-profit pharmaceuticals. Bad science is used to attack vitamins, nutrients, and all natural therapies that powerful corporations can’t patent to make real money…
…With all the scientists and all the money and all the research, we still have no cure for cancer from the world of medicine. Not only that, they have delivered no cures for Alzheimer’s, diabetes, depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, heart disease, strokes, dementia, osteoporosis, or kidney disease. In fact, after decades of research and tens of billions of dollars in funding, conventional medicine has cured nothing!
…What have the scientists been doing all this time with all this money? The industry is far more interested in treating and managing disease, because that’s where the profits are found.”
On the subject of the persecution of those who bring new knowledge that challenges the status quo, here’s an excellent modern example that you may not have come across, from a court case in 1954:
Jerome Rodale, a practitioner of the time, had recommended reducing red meat and dairy intake and increasing exercise for preventing heart disease, which at the time was contra the medical profession’s dogma and evoked a violent response from them. However, Commissioner Philip Elman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) wrote in his dissenting opinion that:
“It is the glory of a free society that a man can write a book contending that the earth is flat, or that the moon is made of green cheese, or that God is dead, without having to ‘substantiate’ or ‘prove’ his claims to the satisfaction of some public official or agency. It is arrogance to presume that in any field of knowledge, whether dealing with health or otherwise, all the answers are now in.”
And the outcome of the case?
“In the later years of the case, Rodale’s lawyers introduced new testimony from some of the same leading medical experts that the government had originally used at the initial FTC hearings almost 20 years earlier. One by one, these experts refuted their original testimony, claiming they “Didn’t know back then,” and admitted that many of Rodale’s original claims had since become established medical facts.”
THIS PATTERN IS REPEATED over and over in science and medicine – there are vast numbers of examples which follow the same course:
First, the violent rejection of the ideas and the persecution of those who bring them forward.
Then the questioning: “What if it’s true?”.
Then: “Maybe we should look at it because we’re stuck for answers”.
Then: the testing with open minds by people who actually want to find out.
Finally: the change of paradigm when the newly presented idea proves to be of value and is widely accepted.
So with this in mind, how about reserving judgement for a generation or two on those who pioneer new ideas, such as Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine?
The Truth about Serge Benhayon 
It’s true. It is not expressing truth that we fear but the attacks that will come our way when we voice what is true in a world where we, its people, have created an entire reality based on a lie. Thus, there is a lot at stake for those heavily invested in this said creation when one movement made in truth can rattle such false pillars and bring them to the ground.
Thank you Dianne, your final sentences on the process of reacting to and then accepting something new sums up the delay we have to truly progress ourselves and society.
An article I found extremely interesting and we are moving further and further into a model where money is the decider on many things. We are the consumer level are often caught by the hype around something and not truly testing it. Many things in the current business world are produced in a way that is geared towards how much money they make and why wouldn’t things that are there to ‘treat’ us be the same. We don’t often look clearly at history like this article explores and from what I am seeing there is a reason and that is to keep us blind. Open up to reading and looking more at what has past and you will see that what goes on currently is just a 2017 version of what has possibly more obviously physically violently occurred in the past.
We like to think of ourselves as a society that no longer has inquisitions, but as is shown in the story of Serge Benhayon and the many who choose to live the Way of the Livingness, they are alive and well, using the internet as their tool of hate.
I agree Dianne, it would be very wise to reserve judgement for a generation or two on those who pioneer new ideas, such as Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine or else one may find themselves marked in history as quite the fool.
“you have to wonder whether perhaps they might be telling truth that someone (or many someones) don’t want us to hear.” Those with a vested financial interest in sticking with the status quo can be very resistant to asking ‘What if it’s true?’
The very fact that a scientist experienced in medical research, along with many other aspect of science can understand with ease that which Serge Benhayon teaches is mighty strong evidence that what he presents is how it is. All it takes is a willingness to open ones mind and heart to feel this and understand it for our selves. Or if it is needed, wait until one is so ill that the last resort will be to consider the Ageless Wisdom and its connection to and with our body.
i have seen the evidence shift and change so many times in science for various things, a great example being modern dietary guidelines- its clear the people who generate these guidelines don’t come from a solid platform with which to know what is truly good advice or what is not. I do find myself questioning what we are told, especially as much of it is contradictory. What does make sense unfailing is what i have been presented by Universal Medicine. Life is a science we have to unfold for ourselves, be our own litmus paper to test for ourselves the truth of what is presented.
Reading this is in many ways shocking – we think or at least I did think we lived in an open and enlightened era, yet more and more I am coming to understand we are fed what to think, what is accepted and if we dare step outside those boundaries all hell breaks loose, and you list many examples here. It really is about keeping an open mind and being humble about what we do not know.
The very fact that aspects of science already know how limited our current knowledge is is very heartwarming.
Those who speak the truth have historically rocked the status quo, and it seems that this continues to this day, ‘Everyone who has ever tried to tell the (uncomfortable) truth in our ‘civilisation’ has been murdered, decapitated, crucified or at least castigated, slandered, shut down or had their funding pulled.’ Yet, truth is the way forward and what in truth we all crave.
The attitude and culture you describe here of certain industries and professions are utterly disgraceful. The science and the media – we would have thought that those who engage in these industry would be at least interested in, if not keenly searching for, the truth. How greed and the desire for control and self-gain gets in the way is just astonishing. Having said that, on a personal level, we too are sometimes resistant to a new idea even though it smells of a potential to be true, stubbornly wanting to stick to the way we are so used to, because it would rock our comfort boat and mean that we need to bring a change.
A great article you share here Dianne, presenting the truth for all.
It is so extraordinarily refreshing to read about… Good science and… bad science … We are so conditioned that we so really look below the surface and see what is the actual energy coming through the press releases and media… Please keep writing Dianne the world needs to hear this.
Yes how about reserving judgement for those, like Serge Benhayon, who share their light, love, truth and wisdom.
Your blog, Dianne, is such a joy to read; it provides so much knowledge and wisdom which I very much appreciate, thank you.
“When someone nowadays is treated that way, you have to wonder whether perhaps they might be telling truth that someone (or many someones) don’t want us to hear.” Ah yes. I have noticed this in my everyday life. When someone brings something to my attention that needs to change… and I don’t feel ready to change it things can get ugly very quickly. It’s a case of shoot the messenger.
If I let go of the judgments I hold towards myself and approach life from the standpoint of a student I can appreciate the wisdom that is shared with me.
“Everyone who has ever tried to tell the (uncomfortable) truth in our ‘civilisation’ has been murdered, decapitated, crucified or at least castigated, slandered, shut down or had their funding pulled. Everyone knows at least some examples of this; we learned about them in school and in church. When someone nowadays is treated that way, you have to wonder whether perhaps they might be telling truth that someone (or many someones) don’t want us to hear. It seems to me that it’s in the realms of health, medicine, religion and money that those who benefit most from the status quo have their biggest fear of loss (of control), and thus the most violent reactions to truth.” This is so true – i have seen at first hand how people are chastised when we make a huge difference in our workplaces, bringing truth can challenge others, yet its badly needed.
In history those who dare to speak out eventually get seen for the awesome service they actually offer and not the deep abuse and suffering they underwent while delivering it.
In fact it is ridiculous that we let us dictate that what is truth and in that dismiss the love that lives in us, the love that is not only but truth and actually should be our go to guide instead. The question is now how long will we give power to these institutions as they do not deliver us that what we truly need. Could it be that in some way we are actually asking for the truth to not be disclosed instead?
It can be difficult to see repeating patterns either on an individual level or the collective (humanity) level. But when we take a moment to step back and widen our view, we are able to observe what is going on and expose it for what it is. Those who are still too close to see the big picture might well argue against it. Some will be curious and take a step back too – either way it’s a choice, and one everyone is free to make without being judged, attacked, vilified etc. by others.
A great article, one that requires more than one read. The study of human psychology presented here clearly shows why it is that it can take hundreds of years for an irrefutable truth to become an accepted norm. Let’s begin to feel and live what we know innately from within and maybe the time from presentation to acceptance of such truths wil be reduced to one life time, or even less.
We tend to forget that many have walked before us not afraid to present a deeper truth, that is unmistakeable. For if we do acknowledge this, we are called to be responsible to the very same truth that we know from within.
Great presentation on truth and how it is accepted upon ‘discovery’ and announcement. We should expand on as you have rightly journaled here Dianne how we interact with truth when it is presented. Half the trouble is us owning the truth at the time when it has always been there and stands for everyone not just the individual.
We think ourselves so ‘sensible’ and ‘intelligent’, but what you’ve explored and exposed here Dianne, shows that we are far, far from this. With such behaviour still being our ‘norm’, we are, as a whole, reactionary at best – intensely bound by belief systems that we would rather not be shattered, even when pierced by the light of truth, a light that offers us true liberation. And so it goes…
This is a fascinating look at what are clearly well-established patterns of behaviour – from the “violent rejection of the ideas and the persecution of those who bring them forward” to the potential setting of a completely new paradigm.
What is all the more fascinating – if not completely exposing of where we are actually at as the human race (who think ourselves ‘advanced’) – is that such reaction, rejection, vilification, persecution and more continues to this day. Inclusive of a modern-day inquisition via ‘trial by media’ – albeit arms of the media with no intent on presenting the truth whatsoever.
When we complement and balance science with the wisdom of philosophy and the appreciation of our quality connections and true care for one another, it simultaneously nourishes our understanding of the world around us with both the art of learning and art of healing.
A truly extraordinary piece of writing exposing the corruption by those attempting to control science or the truth for their own ends. The quotes say it all and some humility and curiosity are needed when those willing to propose another possibility stand up and suggest we may have got it wrong….for time may show, as it has done before, that they may be offering a truth we are all craving.
That we have, within Dianne Trussell, an extraordinary marriage of wisdom and scientific awareness, of both study and reflection, is a great boon for us all, because it is this marriage that brings forth what we need to sustain and evolve us as a species.
Dianne, your quote ‘ …what we don’t know is and will always be far more than what we do know, and we have to keep an open mind while we explore’ on science is so apt and the way to approach all things in life to consider and allow that now we might not know but in future we may know more, and to forever stay humble and willing to see.
When we accept the fact that we do not know what we do not know, surely we must open ourselves up to whatever new discoveries present with the humility or our ‘new found’ ignorance. We have no idea how much there is to know and therefore how much of what there is to know we don’t know. Being humble is in my experience a wonderful way to live life, open to the newness of the next discovery, unattached from what I thought I knew yesterday. Somehow living this way opens my heart to an entirely different ‘knowingness’ – something I am sure is available to us all – for the price of humbleness.
It is when we dissect the whole that it is no longer true. And this is what the media has become so good at, in only telling a part of the whole story, and on top of this adding here and there their own interpretations and twists. With that, a picture/story has been created that is far from the truth and misleads the reader/audience tremendously. And we are all part of this game, as we have given up on truth and are content in ourselves with less and in this process crave for stories and entertainment to make up for it. So it is time for every single one of us to reawaken the truth we deep down know and take this as our guiding light and with that bring us back to the truth that we know.
Thank you for a really great blog Dianne, truth falls in the street when money, profits, and power enter the equation. It is a sad state of affairs when those who bring the truth are abused reviled and lied about but as you point out, over time truth will win out.
“Good science is always: “This is our best approximation just now, but what we don’t know is and will always be far more than what we do know, and we have to keep an open mind while we explore.”” And the same applies to Good Medicine.
Wow Dianne I absolutely love what you have written. It seems to be important that the good science knowing should be shared more often as they seem to know the truth about their exploring: “This is our best approximation just now, but what we don’t know is and will always be far more than what we do know, and we have to keep an open mind while we explore.”
I love the title of this blog. It sums up so much how the truth tellers are often alienated, questioned and pressured into agreeing with the norm. History can keep repeating itself in the ill or we can learn from others experience and how they live as an example for others. The choice is always there.
Great points you make here Dianne, and great advice backed by experience, research and history. Rather than settle for. . . “the violent rejection of the ideas and the persecution of those who bring them forward.” . . .” how about reserving judgment for a generation or two on those who pioneer new ideas, such as Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine”
With status quo being the existing state of affairs in both political and social issues, and with the world going down an economic, social, health and climatic sinkhole, anyone who is able to cast light in the murky shadows of all the manipulation and corruption should be welcomed with open arms… However, it is usually as Dianne says… There will be ridicule, well before understanding and recognition
I have no doubt that, in time to come, the teachings of Serge Benhayon will be acknowledged and celebrated.
Your blogs Dianne provide a wonderful opportunity for people like me to truly understand and appreciate these Ageless Wisdom teachings, thank you.
“Finally: the change of paradigm when the newly presented idea proves to be of value and is widely accepted.” And as we all keep going in circles and there is nothing new and the truth presented by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine has been available for eons in the Ageless Wisdom.
I totally agree Rachel, we should be putting on our scrubbing gloves now and just walking down the street wearing them, and just make cleaning up lies a part of our every day. The sun will be shining and we will have joy in our hearts what have we got to lose?
Nothing at all Harrison, and much to be gained, for all.
great Article Dianne. Through out our time it has been the case that people are always rejected for presenting new ideas, and indeed the persecution was awful. It is still like this today, as soon as someone steps out and really brings out the wisdom that can come from being connected with something more, then they are told to be quiet, or told they are foolish or wrong.
“When someone nowadays is treated that way, you have to wonder whether perhaps they might be telling truth that someone (or many someones) don’t want us to hear. It seems to me that it’s in the realms of health, medicine, religion and money that those who benefit most from the status quo have their biggest fear of loss (of control), and thus the most violent reactions to truth.” Such a great point Dianne. The saying’ a prophet is without honour in his own country’ is so appropriate here. As we evolve ,new learnings ideas and teachings will inevitably arise. It is those with power who fear they may lose it who will defend the status quo the most.
Hear, hear Dianne. Reserving judgement, looking at new paradigms because we’re stuck for answers and from there testing with an open mind is absolutely the philosophy we need in science. Only vested interest and a lack of responsibility for the bigger picture beyond the self continue to get in the way as greed is consistently placed over true purpose. I love the line ”It is arrogance to presume that in any field of knowledge, whether dealing with health or otherwise, all the answers are now in.”
…What have the scientists been doing all this time with all this money? It is a great question, when advocates of reductionist science mark out definitions of what is true science and what is not, but then cannot come up with the answers to many illnesses and diseases that are escalating rather than in decline. The fact we all know is that life style choices that lead to lifestyle illness and disease must be tackled with a broader view to science and it is time that the whole understanding of what science means is opened up and re-imprinted. We have the most amazing scientific instrument that could ever be discovered – our bodies, at our disposal to conduct all sort of research related to healing and wellbeing. It is past time that this was acknowledged and given the respect it deserves.
Wow Diane, there are so many gems in this article and it is so consciousness breaking, perhaps it needs to be reblogged?
The shortfall of true intelligence of human kind is not because of a lack of capacity. It is because of allowing emotion to dominate – the need to control that Diane has highlighted is an emotional irrational drive. It creates false intelligence that lacks any open mindedness and focusses on suspicion and fear to influence people on mass. All that can be presented from the ageless wisdom is offerings for people to make choices. Free will is divine, but the tendency to caste suspicion about things you do not understand and fear, certainly is not.
It is a sad fact that many of our bright lights in our society are shunned for bringing great advances to man kind.
What I gather from history is if you are going to be ahead of your time it is essential to be solid in the truths that are presented without the need for acceptance otherwise this leaves a space for great work to crumble.
Dianne I love how you debunk science and make it simple for me to get. The notion that science is different is crazy for the very subject and subject matter is in fact subject to all of the same cycles that we all live within.
You’d think that logically that after reacting, going off into a spin only to find yourself right back at the start repeatedly there would be a consideration or possible questioning to go another way. But from experience investment is a huge if not ginormous disease we have yet to address or call it as such.
Dianne, you have clearly outlined exactly why we need to be discerning and decide for ourselves if something is right for us or not. Even within one organisation there can be contrary beliefs existing so it’s not surprising that the general public becomes confused when trying to rely on the so called experts for guidance. As you have demonstrated, many organisations put self interest ahead of common good and only change their positions when forced to, but even then, are still looking for a way to capitalise on a situation for their own, rather than humanity’s benefit. Universal Medicine is in a rare class of its own here as serving brotherhood and humanity is always paramount.
Understanding that what is happening in all the fields of research and science that Dianne is commenting on is so vast that to hold it with our intellect is impossible is a perspective that is needed to truly appreciate how extraordinary it is what Serge Benhayon presents to us, that if the connection within is deep enough then the doorway to the innate wisdom that can encompass such depth is accessible, and that this vast awareness is open to us all, IF we connect deep enough.
If we searched and worked with an open mind and with humanity in our heart we would find the answers we are looking for. But putting our personal needs and wantings first will always bring us complications and long travelled roads that lead us in circles until we are willing to see the truth.
To know Serge Benhayon at this point in time calls me to the responsibility to say no to the lies that are told about Serge. How we act today determines if the truth about Serge Benhayon blesses people now or a few generations later.
Everything you’re saying here Dianne is true. Thank you for presenting it with such clarity. The corruption in all of these industries is absolutely rife with no genuine concern for people. So why is it that the media attack the very ones who stand up for truth?
‘Evidence based’ gets bandied around a lot these days and seems to be the new black in medicine, and many other areas, meaning you stay safe within the constructs of that evidence and dont look outside what is already ‘proven’ to work. The regurgitation that then arises becomes very limiting and is often based on fear, arrogance or greed. No one is allowed to ask, “what if?” or “why not try?”. or even “how do I feel about this?”
‘Evidence based’ has to have arisen from those very same question originally, how else do you get evidence?
The fact is there is always more to be revealed, and history has clearly shown this to be true.
How many have said “Oh we didnt know back then”, when eventually forced to relent in the face of new ‘evidence’ or more clearly, the actual truth of what is before us?
What if we used the word ‘truth’ instead?
Dianne, what you have shared here is awesome and needs to be shared everywhere. You have shown clearly how big organisations function to push their own agenda usually for financial gain, and this is so prevalent in health care. Serge Benhayon pushes nothing onto others- he presents what he feels is truth and asks us to feel it for ourselves and make our own choices. No agenda here.
The ‘status quo’ is an interesting subject to consider, on all levels of society people will often do anything they can to maintain it. Although right before them is suffering, unaccountability, poverty, war fare, ill health and despair. Why do we have to hold on the the ‘norms’, if we feel something can change we can speak up and share what we feel. The ‘norms’ are created by society, and so they can be altered by society.
Dianne, great article, I’d often heard and read that those who presented new ideas were often villified and worse, but your article makes it very real and shows clearly the main societal forces which want to keep us where we are. The idea that for these societal pillars people have free choice is an anathema and even more so when it hits their profit margins. It’s a sad indictment of where we are that profit comes before people. I love how you define good science, no dogma, just an open enquiry based on what is known now with an openness that there may be more, that’s just beautiful. I love that there are scientists like you.
There is so much money to be made in medicine that more and more firms and persons are willing to go to extremes to not let people heal, but manage the diseases in a way so that they will get the highest profit out of it.
This article also exposes how we have allowed a society that has been built on greed and self gain to dominate our science, health, finances, religion and politics. There are many well-intended individuals but as a whole each and every one of us is responsible for the way the world is today. I used to feel victim to these powerful organizations and lobbyists and I was infuriated by their greed and utter disregard for the human wellbeing, but Serge Benhayon has helped me to see what my part in this is, and how I can take responsibility and stand up and speak up against everything that is not true instead of criticizing and feeling a victim. WE do have the power, the power of choice and every choice every one of us makes make up the whole that we call our life and our society.
I do a first aid course annually and it is interesting how many of the techniques have changed over the years so that what used to be the accepted way of treating a snake bite, for example, is now quite different from the way I was originally told to do it. This is because people have observed the results over time and, once they see that another way something that does a better job they adopt the new way. Universal Medicine offers a new way of living which could greatly reduce the illness and disease rates. So why is science not open to new possibilities for healing when the world so desperately needs it?
This is an amazing exposure Diane of our arrogance in thinking we have left the past behind us in the witch hunts and the way we murdered, shut down and ridiculed those that brought truth. You would think our past (having shown that those we did this to brought truth) would have left us more humble and open but it seems like nothing has truly changed there, other then a few parameters. The energy is still the same, it is still protecting our comfortable ways we have grown so attached to.
It would serve us all well to be open to what we do not know, to be willing to honestly consider and to be willing to be uncomfortable in the face of truth so as not to reject it and it’s messenger. once again.
This is an amazingly written and powerful article Dianne… It should be published in journals and shared everywhere. You give a clear picture of the patterns humanity has repeated in society across the ages. When it comes to truth being presented, there is an opposite force to push truth into a corner, to silence and dictate it, due to fear of threat, loss of control, power or self-gain. This same pattern has been and is playing out with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Thank you for shining truth’s light on this all, Dianne.
I appreciate the balanced consideration you bring to the use of Science and critical analysis Dianne. As you note, it is the energy and intention behind everything that denotes whether results are true or not and this is the same for the media.
“As part of my investigation of energy (quantum and otherwise) and how it affects us, I have been studying and testing the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. So far what I have seen and applied has held up, dove-tailed sensibly with modern science, and been of great benefit to me in my personal life.” I totally agree Dianne, and working in the health profession, all that has been presented on medicine has also ‘dove-tailed sensibly’ with all things medical.
Awesome article Dianne…all encompassing and very powerful in its delivery.
As a society we are so quick to judge rather than discerning what is true for us or not.
5. The central point with classical science is that is just a temporary knowledge that will be deepened or abolished at a later point. Something to keep in mind before stating that something must be true because it comes from a scientific point of view.
Brilliant article Dianne, thank you for clearly breaking it down to the simple truth – exposing the wisdom of open-minded exploration.
Great article Dianne. Comfort for many has a very strong pull. When it is preferred that things remain the same, new ways and new ideas have very few ways in. Thankfully, those such as Serge Benhayon stay steady in their delivery.
The truth and nothing but the truth is what I read here Dianne. The nay-sayers have been around for eons and with the advent of the technological age they can spread their dissenting lies far and wide, but eventually they will be silenced – as were those who shouted “heresy” at Aristotle when he presented that the world was round not flat. Science will catch up before too long and discover what Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have been presenting for years, that if everything is energy, everything is because of energy. I love your work Dianne. Thank you for amazing contributions to this world.
What a meticulously researched article that offers a synopsis of the history of ideas, their persecution, rejection, and then, oftentimes, acceptance at a much later date. It feels as though some still adopt the stance of, “Shoot first, ask questions later,” not just in the wild west, but in the areas of Science and health. Time for a paradigm shift on that attitude! “Ask questions first,” as Diane intimates here, and ” Ask questions second, third, fourth…” is my suggestion.
Truly superb exposition Dianne and great title too. The definition of good science is rather obvious yet it seems to only be applied by many scientists when it suits them and can be conveniently forgotten when it does not. The manipulation of science to suit agenda is painful and it is not always to line the pockets of big corporations either, in fact I find this less painful than the science that is manipulated because if the results were true we may just find the status-quo of some of our society’s most favoured habits and past-times are brought to question.
This blog is totally on the money on all counts. Just as relevant as when I read i the first time in 2012. Dianne Trussell – a pioneer in her own right – restoring truth in the Modern Science Meets The Ageless Wisdom course through the College of Universal Medicine.
What I’m learning is that the truth doesn’t change – it has always been there, always been expressed. is always coming around again, and forever on offer – and science is a great place to discover that truth and magic go hand in hand.
‘What if it’s true?’ This is a great question to ask. We avoid asking it because it makes us feel uncomfortable or, if we are a large corporation, because we stand to lose money. How are manufacturers of tobacco products feeling, knowing that their product is killing people – how do they justify that? I recently heard a representative of a large well-known international fizzy drinks company, when challenged about the amount of sugar in their cans of drink, answered, “That’s why we write the ingredients on the can, then people have a choice.” What if it’s true that a product is causing early onset diabetes in children? What if one strawberry is too much sugar? The last one is a question I am currently battling with – I love strawberries – my taste buds love them, but what if it’s true? What if all the sugar we eat is bad for us? What if it’s not only refined sugar, but natural sugar in fruit and some vegetables that is more than our bodies need? We can only find out if we accept something could be true and then experiment from there, not deny truth for centuries – that simply holds everyone back.
Great article to read Dianne!
‘It seems to me that it’s in the realms of health, medicine, religion and money that those who benefit most from the status quo have their biggest fear of loss (of control), and thus the most violent reactions to truth.’ When will we be honest enough to see nothing has changed and the truth is we have the answers right under our nose and we know!
A great article Dianne. A standout for me was ‘The industry is far more interested in treating and managing disease, because that’s where the profits are found.” which is an incredibly woeful indictment of our times, that those in ‘power’ are putting profit before people.
Dianne we need more Scientists like yourself with open minds and hearts. The truth will win out in the end, but how long will it take?
Dangerous business is truth. speak it or live it at your own peril.
This is a great article Dianne; by sharing you’re first hand experience it shows what we have long expected that our institutions are there for their own benefit, and not for humankind.
We now have a greater picture of the medical profession, research, funding, and media.
In regards to Universal Medicine it seems that we are at the first stage where violent rejection of ideas and the persecution of those that bring them forward.
This does seem like such a waste.
I can understand people being skeptical and taking an extremely cautious approach.
I can understand people reserving judgment until more facts are revealed.
I can even understand people stuck in their ways and not wanting to change.
What I do not understand is why our truth tellers and seers are like you say Dianne: persecuted, lied about, defamed, slandered, shut down, had their funding pulled, and had their career ruined.
Much suffering will unnecessarily occur when healing for humanity is held back, or delayed.
Thank you Dianne, so much is exposed here in an easy to read way giving us much to consider in the ways of the world. From all I have heard, seen and experienced and the changes that I, and many others, have made in their lives, Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine would be well worth studying now rather than leaving it till later to see that Serge Benhayon was speaking Truth all along!
Well written and well presented Dianne. The fact is the fact and we cannot deny the true facts! But we can sure resist them and resist them we do! It is sure challenging at times presenting the truth and feeling the resistance of others to hearing it but then the truth is often what they need to hear even if they might resist hearing it.
Everyone knows about the ‘earth is flat’ theory and what happened when ‘the earth is round’ was theorised. Another example of when people speak truth or something that’s contrary to the norm and it gets stomped on. Only to have It backfire in people’s faces when they decide to investigate with open minds (and maybe open hearts?). There are so many things in medicine and science that are continually changing… like smoking is good, oh wait, now smoking is bad. Eat this, wait no, eat that. No one can really make their minds up about anything. Let’s not close down the ideas of someone who is solid on what he knows- aka, Serge Benhayon.
” … the pre-eminence of energy in every aspect of existence … ”
I love this word, pre-eminence – I’m not even sure what it means except that it feels like a combination of ‘pre-existing’ and of ’emanation’. That everything has an energy which is radiating out, even before it exists materially or tangibly … nice. The word feels like it’s glowing and light-filled, on a never-ending expansion.
Good science is always: “This is our best approximation just now, but what we don’t know is and will always be far more than what we do know, and we have to keep an open mind while we explore.” Bearing this in mind, how potentially crippling are organisations that push for use of evidence based medicine only in determining care. Where will this leave the future of health and medicine and the future of true innovation in healthcare?
That would be a beautifully humble and open minded stance for any scientist to adopt, wouldn’t it, Jennifer? That would be then type of scientist I would listen to.
Very good question from a fellow health care practitioner.
“It seems to me that it’s in the realms of health, medicine, religion and money that those who benefit most from the status quo have their biggest fear of loss (of control), and thus the most violent reactions to truth.” and “they don’t want us to hear truth because they don’t want us to have control over our own choices, minds and bodies, for fear that they will lose their control over us.” So much gold in this article Dianne, thank you for such clear observation and insight into such a massive topic. Makes me wonder when it is this clear and so easy to expose whether we like being controlled, perhaps because it is easier to blame others when our life doesn’t go well?
Dianne Trussell, making science practical and accessible. A great blog, thank you.
Totally agree Jeanette, very accessible indeed. Where once the thought of science bored and frustrated me, now actually fascinates me a great deal based on the truth presented here in these words.
Amazing blog, Dianne! The organisations that you mention are always looking for new answers, cures etc, but only so long as they fit their present paradigm and don’t ‘rock the boat’. That is not how we got to where we are in Science and Medicine today and actually stifles future discoveries. What are they afraid of?
A brilliant offering, Dianne. Very helpful in understanding there in fact is a pattern in which the science and medicine respond to the truth that would challenge their current belief and standing position, and as a result what could potentially be leading our way for evolution is actually playing the opposite role . Yet, we still have a choice not to wait until the status quo gives its stamp of approval to start experimenting and living the truth, the true power lays within us.
Great point Jane a true health service should be looking for answers rather than just managing ill-health.
Loved re-reading this article Dianne – you write in such an accessible way and expose so much. It is truly shocking that so many vested interests are served by keeping us unwell and that someone like Serge Benhayon making practical suggestions about how people can improve their lives is attacked so vehemently because he is challenging the status quo.
Understanding the world we live in has always been of major importance. History is a cemetery of people who have been really influential at specific times but whose view were proved not to be true. History is also witness to truth tellers who had a difficult relationship with their contemporary fellows but whose truth has firmly stood the passage of time. Truth is, therefore, not something necessarily popular. This, however has not made it less truthful. For that reason, it is crucially important that truth tellers can go ahead and share their message with humanity in full. We can only truly benefit from this.
It looks as if hounding those who present and share truth, has been practised right down through the ages. When are we going to learn from our past mistakes?
Dianne this is amazing, the truth in your article rings loud and clear.
Dianne brilliant blog. Even though we don’t know the answers to some things it’s quite astonishing to see that when someone comes with an answer, with something that is not inline with the current way of thinking they get bullied, abused and ridiculed. Yet this all happens at a time when society are apparently looking for the answer. It’s even more of a stop to realise that billions (if not trillions) of dollars later and there is no cure for the leading causes of illness and disease in the world – in part if not in whole because perhaps the answers are much simpler than we would like and there is no real money in them. As horrible as that sounds it seems we life at a time where profit is still before people. So when someone puts people before profit they are attacked. That is not acceptable.
True David, it does not make sense economically, because it does not make sense ethically.
A great article Dianne, I really loved it , Where profits and power are the agenda, truth does not get a look in. Isn’t it wonderful, that in our own lives we have the truth of our lived experience, nothing can take this from us.
Whistle-blower is the term we use for those who are willing to expose misconduct, alleged dishonest or illegal activity occurring in an organization. Even the term whistle-blower implies a derogatory or disrespectful tone. And as we know those who do show the strength to stand up against the status quo are often ridiculed, persecuted and harassed by those who are most invested in the dishonest activity. Sometimes to the point of having to leave because of the stress of the ongoing attack once the truth has been told. Whether it is in an organisation or in science, medicine or religion our history shows us that truth-tellers are the first to be attacked. Our strength, dedication and commitment to truth is leading the way as deep down everyone knows truth and everyone knows that how we are living is so very far away from the love and care we all deserve.
Awesome article Dianne, the way you write and present is amazing, it just makes sense. Thank you for bringing such a fresh and common sense approach to all that you do!
Thanks for a fascinating and revealing article Dianne.
This was absolutely fascinating and yet equally disturbing to read that conventional medicine, having cured nothing, looks to only to treat and manage diseases based on the profits being found there. When did life become about the importance of money and not people? How could you possibly find a cure for people when people aren’t even your priority? I wonder how bad it will get and how long it will take before they realise they got it the wrong way round.
A brilliant piece Dianne. It is very true that the power of science has been used and abused by large corporations to wield its impressions and coerce the public to believe a ‘scientific proof’ or ‘scientific research’ to endorse a product. Completely subjective and not in any way representing the purpose of true science. You have raised some fantastic questions in this article such as – ‘What have the scientists been doing all this time with all this money? The industry is far more interested in treating and managing disease, because that’s where the profits are found.’ Imagine if the intention of scientists changed to being interested to truly discover the real reasons behind illness and dis-ease and reasons behind why there are many that live a more harmonious and loving life of vitality.
So true Carola – imagine if truth was sought towards why we are becoming so ill and not just looking for fix it solutions, I wonder how that would impact on the profits of the current medical and pharmaceutical systems. Today it is a know fact that pharmaceutical drugs are the 2nd leading cause of death in America, if this is the case, which it is, something is going very seriously wrong.
“What have the scientists been doing all this time with all this money?” Very good question. And why has society not questioned this? Perhaps we are putting our bets on finding cures in the hope of curing our ills externally, that way we don’t need to take a look at the way we are living. Sounds like a gambling problem!
Such a great article Diane. It’s very true, Albert Einstein also said “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.” Change is not necessarily appreciated especially when people are heavily invested on a personal level with the way things are. There is so much self interest now at the expense of communities and human life. On an individual level it’s also curious that human beings complain about the way life is but reject new ideas. There must be a great deal of comfort in the way things are, no matter how bad it is.
Diane this is a cracker of an article and testament to the fact that truth is ageless and consistent and yet will constantly be attacked by those perpetuating self by means of profit or power.
‘Good science is always: “This is our best approximation just now, but what we don’t know is and will always be far more than what we do know, and we have to keep an open mind while we explore.”’ If only the vested interests would recognise this instead of attacking anyone who threatens their status quo. Their arrogance is breathtaking and thank you Dianne for setting it out so clearly.
For me I am also recognising the part I can play in speaking up about my personal experience and the benefits of choosing to implement the suggestions that Serge Benhayon presents about making simple and practical changes to diet and lifestyle which have transformed my quality of life. This has to be good science as I was well on my way to becoming a disease statistic with all its consequent costs to society.
Great article Dianne and I particularly like the question you pose – “Maybe we should look at it because we’re stuck for answers”…
Brilliant article Dianne, it boggles my mind how much we are held back by the control and manipulation that is inherent in so much scientific research. It would seem that profit is the bylaw of so much research. It is heartening to read of your explorations of science, much of what I have heard presented by Serge Benhayon is not currently backed by scientific fact, yet it all seems to work and is grounded in common sense that deep down I feel we all know and have just chosen to forget. Science as it currently stands does not always support us to be healthy and live vibrantly, and we are definitely in need of keeping an open mind to another way of living.
Excellent article, thank you Dianne!
Dianne since reading your article your words have confirmed many views that I have held and endorsed for many years. Those with vested interests be they financial gain, control of water, food or political, discredit and stifle such doubts that do not go along with how they would like the would to be. In a few words “Yes, rock the comfortable world of complacency. Pose questions in areas that do not feel right, far too many views to me are set in stone. ‘Is it possible’ to me, is a far more progressive way of being”.
Brillant blog, thanks Dianne for the facts and its powerful because it also comes from your own experience and shows how open you are to exploring and calling out how we can be limited in our fields and that all is not known at any one time.
I loved this article, thank you Dianne. Test and investigate Serge in full and there can be no question whatsoever in regards the level of truth that can be found in each day that is lived by him and shared – for all. How the world could be changed for the greater good if there were more people like Serge… which, from reading from all the amazing student blogs such as this one, is certainly presenting an enormous possibility.
Extremely insightful Dianne, and just as we have been able to witness the revelations and predictions by Serge and those that have gone before him, one by one come true, and in the process the truth of humanity’s ills is exposed, so too will we be witness to the step by step acceptance of the truth that Serge and Universal Medicine presents, over the course of this life and our future lives, – it will happen.
Great points Alison. I was thinking exactly the same thing about Jimmy Savile – spending Christmas with Margaret Thatcher, rubbing shoulders with Prince Charles and other royals – yet nobody discerned the evilness of his behaviour towards young women! Where is our energetic awareness then and our ability to smell a rat?
Dianne… well said… nothing has really changed from the times of the “flat earthers” versus the “round earthers”… when will society learn from history?? and be open to an other possible way, even if it goes against mainstream?
Thank you Dianne, incredible article. And while I have always felt these things to be true it is always affirming to have someone write or speak about it having been in the field of science with true experience of it. Thank you again.
Brilliant Dianne – absolutely brilliant – the truth will always challenge those who profit by controlling the status quo and lets face it our world’s status quo is hurting humanity at all levels. My life and body and hundreds of bodies I have observed over time have benefited enormously from living the simple presentations of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. As simple as practical ways of being more loving and caring to yourself and therefore to others in your life. Over time these people whose bodies have blossomed in true vitality and well being will be the evidence that will show the truth to all … but there is also truth in the saying ” you can lead a horse to water but…”
What a wonderfully written article. Thanks for such a detailed account of your experience in within the schools of science and medicine, and for keeping it do simple at the same time.
It’s quite amazing as a ‘lay person’ to consistently hear and read that ‘science now shows’ or ‘in a scientific breakthrough’ – when really they don’t actually seem to get anything any clearer or simpler for the world. And yet every time someone comes along that can just even present a simple possibility that makes sence – the people who ‘know’ – just ridicule even the possibility that there may be something we have missed .
Thanks for a great article.
great comment Simon. Rarely I see science present something which makes sense, is all encompassing and helps people on an everyday basis, most of it you would have to be one expert at ‘science literature’ to understand.
Thank you, Diane, for writing with such clarity and openness that can be accessible to all.
Wow Dianne, thank you for sharing your experience with this. I realised while I was reading your words that I have always known the way this works and has done for centuries. People are afraid of change, but more so they are afraid of admitting they have been wrong. In staying in this fear it is easier to attack, blame, shut down, even persecute those that challenge the status quo. Indeed we have many wrongs to right!
For me is it something hard to believe and accept that these people are still around and the things you write about are (still) going on. Thank you for writing the facts down.
So true, how often has this happened over the centuries where truth has been exposed, then rejected, only to be accepted years later… loved your common sense article… certainly made me consider how often this has happened.
Mary-Louise Myers
When I began to attended Universal Medicine presentations and workshops I was sceptical about much of what Serge presented because it was so foreign and there was no scientific validation. Yet so much of what Serge said made sense, particularly on health matters.
So I began a scientific experiment on myself that has been ongoing over the last six years. Based based on the information Serge presented, I tested and observed the affects of changing diet, sleeping patterns and how I lived my life. And to ensure the experiment was authentic, I even reverted back to old patterns and observed what happened.
I haven’t published my thesis yet, but I can reveal that the results are clear cut. By taking heed of Serge’s advice and applying those principles I feel better, look better, have improved relationships with others and life is much more harmonious.
And that’s the only science I needed to validate what Universal Medicine is all about.
Thanks Dianne – as a result of your article I am prepared to offer myself for scientific research as a human ‘guinea pig’.
Awesome comment Rod, and really we are all our own science experiment. I also have done similar with regards to reverting back to old patterns and have been quite shocked at the results as far as how bad they made me feel. The ‘proof is in the pudding’ so to speak although puddings don’t feature much these days! Perhaps ‘proof is in the being or body’ is more accurate!!
Even with no scientific validation, the body knows common sense when it hears it. On hearing that alcohol does not serve the body in any way and is actually harmful – do we need scientific evidence of that? Or would we prefer to not hear that and find a way to invalidate that claim so that we don’t have to deal with what that means? Are we using the science where it suits us?
This is a brilliant account of how it is has been and currently is when something of truth comes along to rattle the bars of the cages of people’s and businesses’ lives. They fight to keep their level of comfort or continue to accept, unthinkingly, the level of discomfort they ‘enjoy’ in their lives. What a huge OUCH all round.
A Great article Dianne, what you have documented and experienced is so true. Each time that medicine, be that food related, inoculation, health etc have come up with alternatives, the group that control these markets go into reaction for fear of loosing the grip they hold. Be that money or status woe betide anyone that dare to question the so called establishment. So much is driven by ego; not wanting to be seen as wrong. This same stubbornness has a common thread through history. How many wars have been fought by millions of others because of the opinion of a few.
Good point ivbc05849lx – not only how many wars have been fought by millions of others because of the opinion of a few, but how many millions have been harmed by the opinion and power of a few, and how many millions have been misled by the opinion of a few. All of this has led to much of the separation and competition we have in society today, and it is time for more to speak up in truth so that we can all return to the harmony and unity we are naturally from.
Thank you Angela, I agree, when a few drive an agenda with a misled opinion the majority lose. The great pyramids would only have been built with all working together equally. So could it be the true harmony we are all naturally from, brings about even greater science than that which we think of with mindful opinion that only serves a few.
Awesome article, Dianne. You have really exposed the inflexibility of society to admit we don’t know everything at this time and to find the truth of all things is an unfoldment that requires time and an open-mindedness. Very well said!
Dianne, this is amazing, thank you for writing it. There is truth in every word.
And in these intervening times between the fear of what is presented and the realisation of truth we must all continually make a stand for truth and not results to be sought! We all have a part to play in this even if just to raise a discussion…
Thank you Diane for exposing a pattern that retards our development.
Great point Helen, we may not be able to single handedly change the world over night, but by at least starting a conversation and starting to expose what is so clearly there yet not talked about gives another the opportunity to feel for themselves. Being informed is true freedom, perhaps this is why the media and the powers that be share only what it is they want us to know or what they want us to think, because being informed offers us the ability to truly decide for ourselves and hence the destruction of control.
I remember reading part of a book by Noam Chomsky when I was much younger called Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media. It was the start of opening my eyes to how agenda driven the media was and is – no different around 30 years on and largely because we are pretty apathetic about demanding truth in journalism. Definitely on my list of dinner table conversations …
Highly indigestible as it may be, the topic of corruption in the media, and our apathy to allow this to persist needs to be served up, finding the truth is worth it! Include me in on this dinner table conversation.
Hi Dianne, it is true – we have all heard stories from the past where great people were persecuted for telling the truth and burnt at the stake or crucified for bringing love and healing to humanity. When I heard these stories as a child I used to think how barbaric and foolish the world was then – it has shocked me to realise recently that we have not learnt or changed and that the world is still like that.
The attacks on Serge Benhayon clearly fall into that category as he is doing nothing other than presenting love, truth and a responsible way of living. I guess if you make your life and income about lies and irresponsibility, then someone who is exposing that for what it is and presenting another way becomes a threat that needs to be annihilated.
Maybe one difference between the past and now is that the masses (who do care about love and truth) have the opportunity to speak up and let their voices and hearts be heard. Let’s take that opportunity.
I predict that Serge Benhayon will be the most studied man in history. It is not really much of a prediction as it is such an obvious sure thing. It may start slowly during his life time, but will certainly pick up pace after this life time and forever more.
Thank you Nicola and Greg, I absolutely agree Nicola, Serge Benhayon will be studied greatly, people will want to know how he has done everything that he has done. A truly inspiring life, inspiring for us all to live the same grandness – once again.
Absolutely Nicola and Harry, I agree, Serge Benhayon and the Students of The Livingness will be studied like no other group in history!!!!
BRILLIANT article Dianne – a real eye opener, factual, no nonsense, no wishy washy stuff, kept me super focused whilst reading it andI love the examples you brought in of people being pooh-poohed, and even worse persecuted for speaking the truth which was not welcomed by certain industries.
It would be great to read more of your findings in your research on Serge Benhayon and energy. I love when a scientist speaks common men’s language 🙂
Agreed Dragana, an absolutely brilliant article. I find it so interesting that science has such a strangle hold on us, that we had to wait for “science to prove” that smoking was bad for us, drinking is bad for us, sugar is bad for us. Why do we need someone to tell us, to prove something to us, before we listen to our own bodies. Thanks to the work of Serge Benhayon I have learnt to listen to my own body and I no longer rely on anyone or any research to tell me what my body has already told me. Science does not speak for all, for example, depending on the researcher we are told one glass of alcohol a day is good for us, well let me tell you one glass of alcohol a day is not good for me and my body tells me that very loudly and clearly. I don’t need a white coat to tell me, I have the best scientist living with me every single day and it is called my body.
What is interesting is that we have come to trust a white coat over our own bodies. Responsibility was handed over so easily. I recently spoke with someone who had come very close to dying. He was quite angry with his doctor from when he was first diagnosed. He didn’t make any life style changes and blamed his doctor for not informing him more of the dangers of his condition. The body can be screaming yet it is common to trust something other than the body.
Here here. Please keep us informed Dianne. You put it so simply and succinctly. A true gem! What’s next?
