I have struggled with endemic levels of corruption, deception, greed and lack of integrity in my life, and in the world. How can other human beings be like that to fellow human beings? If this is what life is like, then do I really want to exist within this paradigm? Who can I trust? Why do most people not want the truth to emerge? These were all questions I pondered.
I attempted to expose the levels of corruption in a few institutions, but I failed. I failed partly because there is such a tight network of intertwining segments protecting one another’s interests: no-one was prepared to stand out and speak the truth – even at government levels. So, it seemed to me that this is how the world operates. I really hated this. Truth and integrity, to me – are paramount.
About eight years ago I began to go to some talks by Serge Benhayon. This was a man who speaks the truth and has integrity like no-one I’ve met before. The more talks, workshops etc. I did, the more this all became apparent. Serge recognises we all need help, that the world is in a deep mess, and he dedicates his life to serving and helping humanity.
Serge Benhayon, by how he is, has helped me to build trust in people; showed that there are people who have integrity, who speak the truth, have genuine compassion and so much more… love, joy etc… and that that is the norm for them, and can be for all of us.
‘Serge recognises we all need help, that the world is in a deep mess, and he dedicates his life to serving and helping humanity’, is a great statement. For years many have searched to find that person because they have felt there is more to life than what is in front of us. And we find that person, but we realise that this isn’t it. So we continue on our search till one day we come across a person who just happens to be called Serge Benhayon. He simply presents that there is another way to live, and in that way, we do not become absorbed in the mess that is around us.
None of these things come over night and is a working progress, but once we realise this, we see life from a different perspective. Then we wake up and realise there is work to be done to serve humanity instead of existing in this world.
Thank you Lorraine for your honest sharing and sensitivity – a voicing of what you know innately to be a truth in a world of lies.
I agree Henrietta, there are many people who are living that there is more to life than what is simply going on around them. We are all sensitive beings and we cannot deny what is being felt and more and more will realise the corruption we live in will no longer be tolerated. Somewhere, somehow, something will give.
To meet someone like Serge Benhayon is a refreshing reminder of the truth, care, warmth and integrity that does exist in our world and can be resurrected. A gift indeed.
Corruption greed and general lack of integrity is rife in our world. And it is understandable that when we see this we just want ‘out’ in other words we are not keen to be a part of such a life. However it is the reality of the world we currently live in and like it or not in some way we have been a part of its making by either direct or indirect contribution.
Serge Benhayon and his family continue to inspire me, to show me and 1000’s of other people that there is another way to live in this world; a way that is respectful, is truly caring, has decency, has true love as the foundation, integrity and truth are everyday, and so much more. To see all of these values and qualities being lived in the world has ignited my will to live and to embrace my purpose.
Yes, they have walked very consistently with deep love and care for themselves and others for years now. That is unusual in our world today which I find very sad because that should be the normal.
Lorraine, spot on – it is a true inspiration when another walks and lives the truth to a point that ignites this in another.
This is true Elizabeth, we have to develop trust in ourselves first.
“there are people who have integrity, who speak the truth, have genuine compassion and so much more… love, joy etc..” We really need these kinds of role models, people to inspire others to return to true values, to place the quality of human life above what’s in it for the self, and to live our innate qualities of integrity, love and truth. We have dropped our standards considerably and true role models are one of the powerful ways we can reverse this.
I went and saw my family recently whom I haven’t see for a while as we all lead such busy lives. There were quite a few of us that got together for a relaxed lunch followed by a walk. I had a great time catching up with everyone and really enjoyed the day. The next morning at breakfast my immediate family said how they had so enjoyed watching me with the family talking to everyone easily with no false politeness no agenda just easy going and relaxed which supported everyone else to be relaxed. They said Mary you really are a people’s person. And this is true I have recommitted to life and by recommitting to life this means to all people because we all matter and we should all be treated with respect and understanding. This respect and understanding starts with me first I have learnt how to respect myself and to treat myself with the utmost care which easily transfers to others. My inspiration comes from knowing Serge Benhayon and his entire family, to live in a way that is harmless to myself and all others.
Thank you Mary for everything you have shared, as always it’s deeply touching to read your comment and how you are now able to love and care for yourself, and how this translates to the same equal and unconditional care and respect with others. Your life represents the joy on offer through the work of Serge Benhayon, and the way we can each blossom into the gorgeous gems we are underneath all the hurts, beliefs and ideals we get lost in, simply by reconnecting to soul,
Love your point here Melinda – with true role models we have the capacity to make huge change and true change in a world that is completely lost.
We look at the world we know how it could be – but the world is us, all of us as a collective. The question each of us could ask is ‘Am I living the fullness of who I truly am?’ then we know the kind of world we will end up having.
The latest Robin Hood movie produced by Otto Bathurst shares how the establishment has always been pulling the wool over our eyes.
Knowing Serge Benhayon have encouraged me to trust people but also to restore confidence within myself. Wherever we look at there is a mess, it’s a fact that politicians are speaking words void of Truth. However when I see Serge presenting there is a solidness, a lightness and transparency that invites me to bring the same qualities in my daily life. He inspires me to live in such a way that makes a significant difference in this world. Just by claiming the power I bring as a woman, instead expecting anyone else do it by me.
The world like no other time before needs truth and integrity, so why is it that so many of us still follow like sheep the lies and corruption that is so ingrained in society at every level? There are also many of us that no longer want anything less than truth but the truth seems to meet such resistance. Serge is such an inspiration to just live in such a way that will eventually bring about change by this Livingness.
I feel Kevin that when we see the corruption, the lies etc., we call it for what it is. We cannot stand by any more and just allow things to go on as they are. I personally feel that we have allowed our standards of living to slip and if we do nothing it will only get worse. As individuals we cannot change the world but we can change the way we are with ourselves. If we bring more loving focus on how we live and interact with others they get a chance to feel that there can be a difference. This is how we inspire change.
I have noticed we have so many ‘little’ things that we lie about to ourselves that we don’t even notice it any more. Until we learn to move in such a way that we become more aware of those seemingly ‘little’ things then we will not be able to see the greater levels of corruption that abound all around us.
As we trust and deepening our Love and thus our Livingness their is a Deepening-Humble-Appreciative-Ness that is lived and adding to this their is an advanced as we use a ‘paradigm’ with a true understanding!
A paradigm is opening our self to what is deepening our connection when we enter through a door, so we can evolve every time we use the true understanding of a paradigm.
Interesting word ‘paradigm’ as it is a shift or deepening of the divine energy we are connected to as we enter through a door way and all we have to do is be aware and accept the advance. So like many words the true meaning has been distorted to keep humanity from the truth!
Truth has no investment and with the deep humbleness that come with what Serge Benhayon presents, a different foundation is set the truest way of living and this is without the greed and corruption that belittles most.
Good point, we have to re-discover that level of trust in ourselves first just as we were reminded by someone who built it for themselves first.
I have rebuilt my trust in humanity too by his example and so many of the students who, like me are re-discovering their responsibility as part of a greater whole.
So True Lucy, building the truest relationships without any investment is assuredly a responsibility that will redevelop and deepen our connection to the ‘greater whole.’
When you personalize what we do, you may fall for some reason that may account for it and provides an alibi.
When you de-personalize what we do and ask the question from the standpoint of the human being, you ask true questions.
Thats so true Lorraine there is not so much true trust between many people therefore I love Serge Benhayon as he offers trust in every movement he make. His whole body is emanating trust and with that I was inspired to again trust myself first and than step by step the rest of the world as well. Life can be so easy if you really can trust yourself!
It is great that we register that we do need help and we are hurt. To recognise we are in a mess without reacting but responding we can save the world by saving ourself (in response and not in reaction).
Exposing corruption happens one person at a time, and through development of our own inner connection corruption is being exposed throughout the world like the lid being lifted on an overflowing garbage.
Lorraine this is a great question to ask
“Why do most people not want the truth to emerge? ”
I feel that we don’t want the truth to emerge because then we would all have to do something about the way we are living. We have made lies our reality for thousands of years so to then own up that we are living a lie is a hard pill to swallow. I feel that life will get a lot harder and bleaker for us all before we finally admit we have been living this lie that has caused so much pain, death and destruction.
” there are people who have integrity, who speak the truth, have genuine compassion and so much more… love, joy etc… and that that is the norm for them, and can be for all of us. ”
Yes this can be the norm for everyone , it just takes a bit of getting used to and refreshing that re-connection to the truth we all know and carry.
Corruption comes from the Latin corruptus, past participle of corrumpere from com-, intensive prefix (see com-), + rup-, past participle stem of rumpere “to break”. The word reveals that co-rruption is a relationship where two or more people break together. It is a movement that breaks with truth as much as it is a link, a bind, between those that engage in it.
If we want the world to change we each have the personal responsibility to ensure we live the example we want the world to be in order to be a reflection for others to be inspired likewise. Serge Benhayon does this and in doing so has inspired thousands to do likewise who are also inspirations for yet more.
Humanity has lost trust in general… We see this everywhere… To the point where we cannot recognise immediately when truth is offered… We need to heal so much collectively before we can even start to see what extraordinary gifts are on offer to all of us.
Lorraine the standards for what we will all accept in life continue to keep dropping, what we are accepting in relationships, the workplace, the media, in education, and in corporations and governments, etc, is getting worse, and we all know it but we don’t speak up about it. We innately know what is decent and true but the more we collectively accept the opposite the more it seems to snowball into even more indecency.
The world is full of corruption, deceit and lies, and when we each stand up for truth we show humanity that there is another way, a true way of being and eventually truth will outweigh the corruption, deceit and lies, but it will take each one of us to stand firm in the truth that we know.
So true Sally. We cannot wait for the world to change, we each need to make the necessary changes first and then the world will follow.
Lorraine through Serge and Universal Medicine and many others who now make the Way of the Livingness their religion I too have restored trust in people again. Whilst its not perfect and I can bring out my “i dont’ trust mode” I’ve certainly transformed my life as a result. It’s certainly worth doing.
Trust decency and respect are all qualities that have been eroded in today’s society and it is time for us all to collectively resurrect these qualities with both integrity and grace so we all may live our potential.
Do we consider the fact that being cast out of a particular job, or rejected, could be TO make us think we’ve ‘failed’ and thus diminish our enthusiasm in speaking up for truth and integrity? If we think purely from our head and react to the temporal reality of what’s just happened, then we may miss an opportunity to apply this truth is many, many other areas!
Well said, taking a moment to consider a bigger picture means we have an opportunity to learn from everything that happens in our lives and bring greater responsibility to our way of living.
I agree – meeting someone who we can feel there is something different, perhaps even true about them is very inspiring, and consistency makes it even more powerful. Perhaps this is how we could inspire others, too, by living with truth and integrity, consistently.
If we don’t like the corruption and abuse we see in the world then the answer is to live and demonstrate another way. The amazing, consistency and living way of Serge Benhayon show us that there is indeed another way to live – a glorious way that is available to all.
Well said Lorraine. And I love the message that love and joy can be normal for us. I agree – they are natural states of being for us all – so what have we done that this is not our experience?
With out a doubt Serge Benhayon is a man that can be trusted.
I suppose we first need to disengage ourselves from the corruption we are willingly part of before we sincerely are able to stand up with integrity and transparency and not just good but lame intentions.
I agree Alex. To take responsibility and be willing to see every part we play in the corruption and deceit in our lives is the way to stand for truth. It may feel uncomfortable, shameful or full of regrets and disbelief but unless we acknowledge and heal every reaction within our own body we cannot claim or pretend that we are not a part of it.
Exposing corruption can be very challenging as when someone is not living from the truth they will have all the protection set up that they think is necessary to protect themselves from being exposed. It is an insidious evil that so often is just accepted as calling it out usually seems way too hard, as you found. I love how Serge Benhayon has lifted the lid on the truth of corruption and that we can actually make a difference by simply choosing to have no corruption in our lives and to not accept it in others in any form.
I feel the same Lorraine that Serge Benhayon restores trust for me. He is so consistent and every moment is lived for the all. He has taken integrity it a whole new level by introducing energetic integrity, that the quality of energy we are each in never lies, words might deceive but energy doesn’t. This is our ultimate responsibility to be in energetic responsibility and therefore true integrity.
The word trust has deteriorated into expecting someone to do what we want them to do or be who we want them to be .When we allow ourselves to connect to the absolute truth of who we are. as Serge Benhayon does, expectations are gone and we can BE with ourselves or with another or others and let them BE also.for in that absolute truth there is love respect and decency and that is communicated through our expression.
It is true, there are ‘endemic levels of corruption, deception, greed and lack of integrity’ that run our society, which extends throughout the world. However, we all do know truth and we all do know love regardless if we are living it or not. And so, it is our responsibility to not withdraw from society but rather to stand firm and strong with the values of truth and love that we know to be true. The greatest change we can bring to the world is to be our true selves as such and reflect a way of being that represents the truth and love of us all.
We can change everything by changing our movements.Sounds too simple I know but if I start moving in a way that takes the whole into consideration everything changes.
Yes, for sure Kathleen. Not only does it sound simple but is also sounds empowering, that we are the ones that can bring the much needed change the world is calling for, through the way we live and move. Our greatest challenge is our willingness to be honest with ourselves, to understand that we are the ones also responsible for the way the world is today.
Serge Benhayon lives the integrity that he presents and there is a growing number of people around the world who are inspired to change the way they are living and the world is being shown a true way to live in Brotherhood with all.
There is a lot going on out in the world and always has been from what I see. What remains important though is how you are in that, how you understand it and how you then speak into it. There is only one way to turn the things we see are going astray around and that is to be all that you are seeing the world needs. So if you are seeing a lack of integrity bring a deep integrity, if you are seeing a lack of care, bring a deeper care to everyone you see and the list goes on. The world doesn’t change from the one you are seeing unless you activity is contributing to that change. I am not saying protest or shout from roof tops either, I am saying live in every moment the change you see the world around you should make and soon enough people will make a choice on what quality they want.
Building trust in others has started by me building up the trust in myself, that what I know is true and backing myself absolutely with this knowing. With this I have a sense of whether another matches this level of trust I know is true. And it’s ok if they don’t, it is simply for me to observe and discern if I choose to continue any interaction understanding they are where they are so I don’t have unreal expectations on what might come next.
The foundations of life through transparency and honesty change everything, and it doesn’t matter how much someone tells you they are honest, it has to be a lived honesty in their body, and then you can feel it.
To give up on some value we hold dearly is easy when we realize that everyone around us work around and against them. Yet, we are not alone in this one and boy does it feel beautiful when we are confirmed on those values? This shows clearly their true value and the value of truth they hold.
Interesting reading this blog after writing it nearly five years ago, I would now say that key to changing all what I don’t like about the world starts with self. To live all that I am, the love and light with no holding back, and inspire the changes in other people just as Serge Benhayon has been doing and continues to do, inspiring people far and wide with his amazing way of living and being.
Well said Lorraine – Serge Benhayon has been a great inspiration to me and countless others to stand up for truth and expose that which does not serve the all – greed and corruption being a major part of this
loveless-ness.
Beautifully said Lorraine, you are right too, there are very few people that are willing to stand for truth but many who will grumble about the fact that things don’t change. Serge Benhayon has inspired thousands of people to look past their own self interest to their true purpose in life. We are all made to know truth and the more we stand for truth the closer to our purpose we are.
It is one thing to see through corruption, and the level of it in the world in general. It is, however, another thing to expect the world or others to change in accordance to what you know is possible, for that is an imposition in that it is demanding others to live up to your own moral code, so to speak, and as such is not respectful of free will. Whilst we should never hold back calling out evil or corruption, there comes a point when you realise that it exists because of the choices of many who willingly do not want to see what they have aligned to, even if they themselves are not the direct perpetrators of the abuse, and that by their silence, they are complicit nonetheless. And so, it is at that point that whilst you can offer a reflection of a different way, you realise it is not yours to continue to call out that which everyone is willingly choosing, even if they are suffering as a result.
There is no doubt that we do need help and Serge Benhayon willingly offers his support but it is our choice to be open and receive what is being offered.
There isn’t anyone else on this planet who has more integrity and brings the truth than Serge Benhayon.
Serge Benhayon restores one’s connection not just with trust, but with love, religion, each other, and with decency.
What you have expressed here Lorraine is simple, true and wise; Serge Benhayon is indeed our guiding light by his livingness and his presentations of the Ageless Wisdom teachings;
“Serge recognises we all need help, that the world is in a deep mess, and he dedicates his life to serving and helping humanity”.
Well said and very true Lorraine we need to not shy away from the truth as this then confirm to others to also stay silent, so when we express without holding back this gives other permission to also find their voice – a much needed step the world is craving for.
To meet people who have integrity and are honest in all areas of their life is a blessing and it is time that we restore it as a whole humanity so that it is not an exception anymore but a natural way of living for us all.
Lorraine, I enjoyed your thorough understanding on corruption. We all experience this and feel helpless. I myself the best way to uproot this is to stay with yourself by nominating your feelings and emotions what does not feel right and play your own game of delivering the highest of integrity and quality of service. This breaks the mold and inspires others they can do it too.
There are many people that know their level of integrity and honesty is far greater than that which they have reduced themselves to live, something that is done in fear of reprisal from others if it was shown and lived. But how can that be seen again in our world as a beacon to support others to live by if it is not accepted as the way we want to live and then put into practice? Love this article and the acceptance of integrity, honesty and grace it offers.
When you see others who stand up for truth like Serge Benhayon, it is definitely inspiring and gives me confidence to stand up for truth. So if more of us start to stand up for truth we will inspire others to do the same, To live in harmony and truth is the way to go.
There is no doubt that seeing people with genuine integrity and care for all, who are prepared to speak truth and express love in all they do, and who make living this way normal… shows others that this is possible. It is deeply inspiring and as such, powerful in it’s ability to change the way we are with not only ourselves but each other.
Serge Benhayon has shown me that we cannot change others by wishing it so, forcing them to change or whichever tactic we use to try. The only thing we can do is to pay attention to and change our own way of being and by living life with integrity, love, honesty, truth…we will inspire some and some will hate us for it, but ultimately if we continue to take responsibility for ourselves, the world will change too. The Law of Reflection does that 😉
There is no denying that much of what we have created in this world is a mess and the sooner we all open our eyes to this fact the sooner we can all together start the process of clearing it.
Serge Benhayon has supported me too to trust people again by letting them back into my heart and by showing me how I can observe and be very aware of the corruption and all the horror that is going on in the world but stay intact and connected to me by not absorbing it. These are invaluable skills to have and something everybody should have access to to learn.
Serge Benhayon redefines trust for us all, as this is a word that, through so much hurt, has lost its true meaning for humanity, but is essential for our re-connection with God, and with who we truly are.
What I have come to understand is that life is based on truth, love responsibility and many more, if we want trust in our lives we have to be truthful, open and honest. Trust comes and grows with being truthful. I began to trust Serge as he presented truth, I could feel that connection in my own body, he has continuously inspired us all that the truth lies within us all equally. This has allowed me to trust others.
Within us all is a full and fiery spark of God that knows truth to its core, as it is what we are made of. But this truth gets masked with a way of living that is not true to who we are but rather based on the reactions we have to the world when we look out and see that this innate truth is not being lived. We then get so lost in all the ‘not-truth’ that we see, we give up and withdraw into our own protected little world, keeping this spark, our love, to ourselves. The key is to let this love back out so that those who have lost their way in a sea of shadows at least have a beacon to guide them safely home to the Godly spark that forever lives and breathes beneath it all. Serge Behayon is one such light and there are many others now who are learning to shine full beam once again.
I had given up on Humanity for many years when I met Serge. Now however, I can see the divinity in all – just a matter of time before we all awaken to it fully
Serge’s dedication to people in incredible. I have watch during courses and workshops and in presentations how he is consistently available to people, listens like no-one I know’s listens, is truly present with those he is speaking with and all of this then inspires others to be the same. Everything is about support and understanding. This is available to all of us.
If you want trust in the world – live a trustful life.
Lorraine, what a cracker! Made me realize again how it works. I also often want the world to change and did fight against systems and blur. But with Serge Benahyon I learned to LIVE what I wish the world to be and inspire others with that. This is really stepping out of this merry-go-round of untrustworthyness.
Thank you Lorraine for sharing about the deep level of corruption going on in the world which is becoming more the norm in society these days. But there is a light in this tunnel of darkness and that is Serge , a man who brings truth and integrity in all his living ways, a beautiful reflection to all humanity, that we too can love this way.
“He – Serge Benhayon – dedicates his life to serving and helping humanity.” Thank you Lorraine for sharing this as it is this deep dedication that inspired me in every second of my life to serve humanity as well to the best of my ability.
From what I have observed over the years I have known Serge Benhayon, by living what he presents he has supported so many to begin to be able to trust again, beginning with trusting themselves. As you say Lorraine, we live in a world where trust is not very evident, but “corruption, deception, greed and lack of integrity” are seen every day, but not in the life of Serge Benhayon. He is a shining and inspirational example of how life can truly be lived, with integrity, transparency, truth and love.
Serge Benhayon redefines truth and integrity for us all, and his life and the way he lived will resonate on, because true integrity is a rare gem in this day and age.
I re-read your blog this morning because I really want to explore what trust is about, what it is from many different angles and why it is so hard for so many to do…including me for most of my life. I came to comment again and found I was actually the last person to have done so, I thought that I shouldn’t comment again so left this page and went to another blog on trust, but then started laughing at myself because all I wanted to do was come back to this blog and trust that what I had been impulsed to write was only meant for this blog and I needed to come back and do it! So here I am. My sense about trust is that we are unfamiliar with trusting ourselves and our innate ability to discern the energy behind any word or situation that comes up. This results in staying with the familiar, even if it is abusive, corrupt or harder work. It is more familiar. Learning to trust again, I have found I have gone against the grain and had to trust my own body to communicate with me about what does and doesn’t create tension. Tension that tells me something is not quite right.
In order to trust, I have found it is important to feel the consistency in the commitment to it. It is not about perfection but it is about having a lived pattern of commitment to integrity and honesty. From my experience, it is a much less stressful way to live.
Gorgeous Lorraine. Serge Benhayon has shown me that we all have a responsibility to expose and address corruption, however, this does not mean we need to ‘fight’ it or jump on any bandwagons. We can address corruption by living truth in each moment and this reflection can change the world.
What you have shared here is so important Leonne, as I have always been one to speak the truth and call out corruption, but when I was invested in it changing and had a need to fight it, the only result was pure exhaustion and pushing people away through judgement.
I have also learnt from Serge Benhayon what the true energetic meaning of Truth, Love, Joy and all these words we use are and very often they are not what we think they are at all. Unimedpedia – http://www.unimedliving.com/unimedpedia – delivers great insights into these words. For example, something is not true if it is not said with love and there is not one ounce of emotion in love. Therefore, if we react to something and speak out, we say and think we are speaking the truth but we are mistaken, because energetically it will not be truth if we are in reaction. Then we can react again because we think we are speaking the truth and people are not listening and we lose trust – but all along we were in reaction and part of the problem ourselves and causing others to lose trust too and so it goes on!
Learning to discern the difference between expressing in reaction and expressing what is actually true is a big one. The answer is not to withdraw and hide for fear of getting it wrong or hurting someone, but to keep practising. The more I express the more I enjoy expressing what I can feel, with no perfection.
Yes, Serge Benhayon is certainly a man who has restored trust in thousands of people. In the end we discover that it is about trusting ourselves and accepting other people as they are. That is one of the many amazing things about Serge, because he has absolutely no judgement and does not impose and one can feel that and it is very special and healing to meet such a person and know what is possible.
What I clearly got from this blog and have understood from my own experiences is so important in how Serge Benhayon presents the ageless wisdom, is that he teaches how to trust in ourselves and our capacity to simply embody, live and share that wisdom everyday. Trust begins with ourselves and can only expand in the live life as it expands within and for ourselves.
It is a gift to be presented with truth, as it brings us back and confirms what we deep down know to be true. It rekindles our innate understanding and knowing of truth which then can be sparked into a burning fire that restores our trust that we know and does not let us stray away from truth so easily anymore.
I couldn’t agree more Lorraine, Serge Benhayon’s transparency, integrity and no holding back when it comes to the real issues of corruption and lovelessness on every level, has also allowed me to trust again. And the beauty is that when we live in a way that is real and true, to the best we can, we also offer others someone and something to trust in as well.
We all now need a Rosetta stone of integrity, because humanity really has lost its way… This reflection is what Serge Benhayon offers to the world.
“Serge Benhayon this was a man who speaks the truth and has integrity like no-one I’ve met before”. So beautiful Lorraine that you have learnt from and been inspired by Serge Benhayon to trust people, live with integrity and truth, and have genuine compassion and understanding for people.
Trust is a huge word in the sense that it asks us to open up to possibilities. Interestingly enough when we do the potential is far greater to care for ourselves and others in the most simplest of ways.
Restoring trust and true love to the world is like the rain; one drop doesn’t changed the parched earth but when a light shower of rain becomes a downpour then the parched earth is restored to its natural condition in which all the plants are able to flourish and grow.
This is such a beautiful analogy Mary, and as I read I could feel so clearly what is possible when trust and truth are restored to this world.
“This was a man (Serge Benhayon) who speaks the truth and has integrity like no-one I’ve met before”. I could not agree with you more Lorraine; he has also restored my trust in the future of humanity.
Reading from someone with your life experience Lorraine about the institutionalisation of corruption and unfairness, it is a powerful message what you have shared about Serge Benhayon. With your finely tuned radar it is clear you found a working organisation that offers absolute integrity in the workplace and in the wisdom being shared. I second this assessment.
Corruption in institutions is a direct reflection of collective self-interest and greed, collusion and apathy with no space for truth and integrity. So when we express truth in this sort of environment, we’re like a germ entering a bloodstream of white blood corpuscles, ripe for chewing up and spitting out, because with truth comes the realisation of responsibility; with truth comes choice – and that can be difficult to swallow when you’re in so deep.
Perfect Cathy. But, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel here, choice. We each have a choice and whilst there is always one ‘germ’ flowing against the current there is always the possibility of change, no matter how hard that my seem.
“Serge Benhayon, by how he is, has helped me to build trust in people; showed that there are people who have integrity, who speak the truth, have genuine compassion and so much more… love, joy etc… and that that is the norm for them, and can be for all of us.” Beautifully expressed Lorraine. Serge Benhayon walks his talk for sure and it is gorgeous to read how your trust is building. I can say the same.
It can be difficult to trust when we are in overwhelm of the state of our world. But like you shared Lorraine, there are definitely people who live with truth, love and integrity. From their reflection we too feel safe to trust the world and live the same way.
‘there is such a tight network of intertwining segments protecting one another’s interests’. A great line, Lorraine, highlighting the absolute tensile strength of the corruption, greed and selfishness in the way our society operates. Truth and integrity should be the pillars, the backbone, the foundation and the lifeblood of any society and this can only ever stem from the way we live life on a daily basis – our individual and collective choices, in each and every moment – all in support of the whole and not the parts. This takes responsibility at an individual level, in all of us. Hence why we have what we have today. Irresponsibility currently reigns. But it only needs a few to start towards a tipping point because truth and integrity once felt, are contagious through inspiration. And this is what Serge Benhayon offers through Universal Medicine. A lived way of responsibility for each and every one of our choices.
So we have an example of love and a foundation lived by Serge Benhayon that we can build on. I love about this that we learn to act as equals, not as followers or as a lesser being who has to strive for the high standards, Serge is setting. The high standard of love and truth is simply there to support us, nothing to reach, just something to build on.
What Serge Benhayon stands for is so much bigger than what a single human being can achieve. He is – as are all of us – connected to a love deeper than our human brains can fathom. Being with him allows me to trust that connection through my Inner Heart again.
This is amazing Felix, allowing ourselves to trust is a massive step and it takes us closer and connects us to our heart, to people and to God. When we connect to truth and simply trust what we feel, we are extremely powerful.
Isn’t it wonderful that Serge Benhayon , with his profound and tender wisdom, says to all of us that we are his equal, we just have to make the same choices, and re-connect to the equal depth and grace of our inner hearts.
Lorraine, I still have great sadness come up in me of the level of corruption that is in this world. The more I start to see people for their essence and not the energy that runs them the more I’m coming to understanding and love. I still have trust issue to work on, but like you, meeting people associated with Universal Medicine I’m opening up to seeing there are many people who can teach me to trust again.
Lorraine, your blog has hit on something that I think many students of ‘The Way of the Livingness’ have also experienced. The level of corruption, greed and violence etc in the world leaves people feeling that they have to numb themselves to cope. I know I have turned cynical and hard with the disillusionment. It is only through attending Universal Medicine that I have come to realise that I am only adding to the world’s problems and damaging myself with this behaviour. Instead, self love, responsibility and integrity is needed more than ever and that is what I have now been re-learning to live.
Serge Benhayon is the lodestone of trust and, with his profound love for humanity, redefines every one of these words for us all so that we may open up to these truths, and allow the depth of connection inside us that brings such deep healing.
I love what you have shared Lorraine. Losing trust can be a very sad and lonely place to exist in, thank God we don’t have to thanks to the dedication, and love for serving humanity that Serge Benhayon holds.
This is true Giselle. It is very lonely to not trust and allow people in. People choose to shut themselves out from the world due to lack of trust. This is no way to live because our natural way is to be embracing each other with an open heart, to share and to live in harmony. Brotherhood is what we crave and it is one of our most natural calling, but many of us are living very far from this because of our mistrust. By building trust back into our lives we can start living in brotherhood and harmony.
I can so relate to what you have shared Lorraine in terms of seeing corruption and how one of the hardest things to observe is how everyone has a part in it. Those that carry out the act but those that allow it to be by their silence, who have seen it for what it is and don’t speak up because of the impact that it may have on them. Then after this comes all the reasons and excuses to justify it. It is so important in this world to have people who are prepared to speak up and bring back truth and decency and a way of being that makes the wellbeing of people paramount. When this is absent from our society we will continue to be lost.
Corruption, deceit, greed and lack of integrity can be so overwhelming it makes us distrust every human being. Serge Benhayon is the personification of integrity and heals our mistrusts. Serge also makes us realize we can make a difference in corruption and we always have a responsibility to call out what is not true.
I agree Monika, corruption, deceit, greed and lack of integrity definitely can be overwhelming. If we just focus on being overwhelmed we simply add to it but if we choose to express truth no matter what, we reflect to others that that is the way to be, with no exceptions. To trust allows us to be expansive in any situation, it allows us to discern the truth and brings responsibility. We can counteract harmful behaviours by choosing to reflect truth and love consistently to others.
Awesome comment, Chan Ly, thank you. I realized recently that trust starts with trusting myself first and foremost. With that I can let go of my protections and surrender to the truth I am here to live again this live: we are all love, we come from divinity and are returning back to it.
‘Serge recognises we all need help, that the world is in a deep mess, and he dedicates his life to serving and helping humanity.’ Thank you Lorraine. Serge Benhayon has proved to many of us that there is a different way which enables us to live our true potential and even contribute to help humanity.
Yes, as horrible and disheartening it is at times Lorraine to see the corruption and mess we’ve created we can never give up. One by one those who are prepared to speak truth will inspire others to do so and eventually the tide will turn.
hear, hear Lorraine, beautifully said.
Serge Benhayon is most assuredly a leading light. He has never shied away from speaking the absolute truth. In fact, his love, integrity and dedication to truth and to humanity seem boundless. As you say Marion, by sharing the ever deepening truth of his living way, he has inspired so many to find their own way and, to reconnect to the love and wisdom within us all. There is a way a true, simple living way to love, harmony and brotherhood equally for all. Trust restored.
Absolutely Spot on. When I was a teenager I was searching for truth, and was so unhappy with the way the world was because I knew it was all wrong. When I met Serge Benhayon and became familiar with his teachings, I discovered that my part in changing the world was to live me, all that I am and that will change the world. I had heard that saying before but never really understood it until I met Serge Benhayon and saw a living example of what an amazingly simple but yet extraordinary life could be, the life I always dreamed of.
That’s amazing Harryjwhite. I used to think changing the world meant you have to be someone in power like in the government or someone famous with great influence but my illusion was realised when I attending Universal Medicine. We have the power to change our lives and our world by simply living true to who we are, with love, truth and integrity. We can do this with the way we choose to live, work and interact with people. Very empowering to know that everything I choose can contribute to healing humanity.
Very beautiful Chan Ly, and a timely reminder. thank you! By simply living our truth, and interacting with people naturally the world starts to change.
Serge Benhayon has inspired so many – I am one of the many who has truly been inspired to live in a way that has confirmed what Serge Benhayon has been presenting for years. That is to take responsibility for all of my choices and allowing self love a leading rein in all aspects of my life – when this rhythm is lived then the world can feel this too. Thank you Lorraine for this great sharing.
Yes Lorraine, I have been woken up by Serge Benhayon, that was ineffable and undeniable. To me when he spoke about the truth of life and the reality, I was in for 100% sure. I want to serve humanity and take my responsibility as I have a part to play in this mess. What Serge connected me to was the truth that we are currently not allowing in this world. I felt the absolute dedication and need that humanity is waiting for to get out of this lie-ful living. We are not happy, jet this is because we are missing truth, love , harmony , joy and stillness. Since having deeply felt all these elements again, I can not turn my a head aside, I have to look, feel and heal. This is my responsibility to all of you – to the whole world.
Hi Lorraine, I have always had trust issues, and would trust no-one, which made me life difficult. Since attending many courses by Serge Benhayon and working on my issues, I have been able to trust myself again, trust in life and trust in people, and this makes life so much more joyful and playful too…
Thank you Lorraine for sharing your words , the greatest trust I have come to is to trust in what I feel and the ability to read another or a situation and to know and all this comes with understanding why things are the way they are and here lies great beauty and love. .
Yes, in our world landscape of disillusion and wrung-out trust, Serge Benhayon’s level of integrity, truth and consistency brings an eye-opening new benchmark of what’s possible for humanity and inspires others to live by those same qualities.
Serge is the epitome of the word Integrity. He holds us all in such love that not only is our love and trust restored, but it supports us to open our hearts and trust all those around us also.
The norm is something built by all of us together. To act out of it requires lots of energy. I deeply appreciate Serge Benhayon and his service, for I can feel what it takes to live such a life, that he can support thousands to gain back their trust, just by being who he is. And I feel, that we have that same power in us and thus are able to create more loving norms.
What it highlighted for me is that: everyone can set a norm to be truthful and reach out for the truth and speak up. So does this mean that there is no one who is powerless to stand for truth and that no one is unable to do so. It is the amount of power we give away outside of us that is causing us to ‘seem’ power-less. But this is by definition not the true way to live and deal with the reality in life. If we put ourselves all under an umbrella (pretending to be helpless) we will not be seen for who we are – independent and on our own (but in truth together). Well expressed in this blog, looking forward to more truth.
To have an ordinary man like Serge Benhayon lend support to countless people to begin to trust again, and re-connect with themselves and each other and the world, is extraordinary in itself. But it is true and I can personally attest to this as well Lorraine. Thanks for your blog sharing the simple ad very normal loveliness of what Serge presents.
Yes! Love naturally instils trust, something I have struggled with, particularly trusting myself. But since I have come to know who I truly am my trust has also been restored, thanks to the teachings of the inner heart.
From one man we have a living example of how human life can be lived. And from the student body we have a growing number of examples of how every aspect of life can be lived in that same quality. It is easy in this world to get bogged down in the corruption and misery as it is seemingly everywhere but what Serge Benhayon has presented is that there is somewhere far greater within us that can be the focus of our lives. The more I choose to follow this inner-core through life my world around me changes. The ripple affect of one man has changed the world for many, now the many can and are doing the same.
It seems easier for people to turn a blind eye than stand up and speak the truth, it is time for change and for us all to take responsibility in any areas of our lives where we see evil or corruption at play and call it out. Thank you Lorraine for highlighting this important subject and reminding us there is a true way forward.
It isn’t easy to look around and see the sheer amount and scope of greed and corruption in the world. To see our fellow men selling out integrity and their own fellow human beings for material gain can feel defeating.
I can see why so many people see the corruption and respond with feelings of ‘well what can i do about it? That’s just the way it is.’ But… It has been my experience that once you start speaking up for truth, exposing lies and corruption, not accepting what you know is not ok, it becomes easier and easier. It is actually very liberating and your whole body feels different for having expressed truthfully and broken free of the bonds of silence, complacency and defeat that keep so many silent.
It seems Serge Benhayon has restored of our faith in integrity,
humanity and people.Very powerful little piece to share with the world, thank you Lorraine.
It is very inspiring how love transforms everything. Beautiful words of yours Lorraine about Serge Benhayon – “This was a man who speaks the truth and has integrity like no-one I’ve met before.”
Corruption is ripe everywhere. And to an extent I don’t pay enough attention to the details and can get lost in the complication of it. I’ve discovered this is only because I have some investment for the system to work for humanity – however as we know, systems of corruption often don’t even allow people a fundamental level of human rights and dignity… and that is not including the higher and more refined corruption that is also present throughout society!
Feeling cynical and reacting to the level of ‘corruption, deception, greed and lack of integrity’ in todays world only feeds what we have created. To truly change and heal the worlds present trajectory of what is undeniably a destructive path for all is an acceptance of where we are truly at and from that place of acceptance bring understanding to how and why we have got to where we are today. Then, with compassion, integrity and inspiration founded on absolute truth we can begin to heal the hurts, the patterns of behaviour and the ideals and beliefs that are not truly supporting humanity and are in fact actively feeding the mess we have created in the world. This integrity, inspiration and truth is exactly what Serge Benhayon lives and shares and exactly what Universal Medicine presents in all its workshops and modalities. Great blog Lorraine.
Thank you Lorraine for expressing this so succinctly and I totally agree. Serge has restored my trust and given me the tools to live my life in a way that deeply cares for me and shows me the level of responsibility I have not just for myself but all those around me. The ability to express that which is not right and to not worry about the outcome.
Being able to see the extent of the corruption is something I have not wanted to look at, see or feel but through the depth of integrity and transparency offered by Serge Benhayon I feel I understand more clearly what is true integrity, openness and accountability and what is not.
Whats really amazing about what you have shared that even before you met Serge you knew the truth has to be spoken and you knew there were things in life that were not true. It’s like Serge is presenting things we already know within us.
That’s exactly what he’s doing Ariel, as you know, already..
Serge Benhayon definitely stands out from the crowd in this world, I love that you have been able to build trust in people after meeting him.
It was amazing to read your blog, I am learning to trust again, and I have found that without trust, I cannot have true intimacy. Serge Benhayon and his teachings have taught me to connect to myself and my body, and finally this is something I can trust, as opposed to my thoughts and mind, which can fabricate all kinds of un-truths and Rubbish. Thank you Lorraine for your terrific blog.
In a finite world where our politicians are still talking of solutions by growing our failing economy and spending more money on defence, and you don’t know who to trust anymore, and are afraid that it‘s none of them, meeting Serge Benhayon is like a breath of fresh air.
Serge presents an amazing solution by healing, uniting and equalising humanity from a platform of humility, compassion and love.
Hear! hear!
Lorraine I agree Serge Benhayon is a shining light in showing the world the importance of speaking the truth!
Thank you Lorraine, for a great blog, Serge has presented to us, that we have a deep knowing within, that we can surely trust.
‘Serge recognizes we all need help, that the world is in a deep mess, and he dedicates his life to serving and helping humanity’. I don’t know anyone who is serving humanity in the way Serge Benhayon is. He lives his ‘talk’ and this for me is a true inspiration.
Hear hear Caroline it is deeply inspiring.
It is easy to become cynical about the state of the world and thus contribute to maintaining it in this state. Serge Benhayon shows us that we are all love, we just have lost this wonderful knowledge along the way. Learning to trust again, starting with ourselves, is the beginning of the way back to where we come from.
Beautiful and simply expressed. I too am learning to trust again through the inspiration of Serge Benhayon. Thank you Lorraine.
The level of corruption, greed and lack of integrity in the world can weigh heavily on me at times and I can become despondent. What I have learned through Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine is that how I live my life does make a difference and that I have an important part to play in the larger scheme of things. I have found this has helped me feel that it isn’t hopeless, and that humanity needs us to step up and play a vital part in restoring everything back into balance. I can see this confidence and trust in myself and others growing each time I interact with other students at Universal Medicine presentations etc and it is a beautiful thing to observe. Thanks Lorraine for your sharing.
Well said Lorraine. It’s easy to become cynical about the way corruption is dealt with and really all everyone wants is honesty and truth. When honesty and truth are present it’s a big sigh of relief and “thank god!” – no more hiding and pretending. I was at an event recently where I had the opportunity to speak with one of the presenters afterwards – they were told what they could and could not speak about and were given a snippet of time to present compared with the other speakers who had oodles of time followed by a question time. We may not think this is corruption but it is, controlling what people present on and then deliberately not answering questions that are asked. So really not allowing everyone to share their view points and what is going on. This is where Serge Benhayon in the way he presents is unique, everyone has the opportunity to share, every question or comment is answered with respect, no-one is considered any less than him (in fact everyone is considered equal – and you can feel that) and ALL questions are encouraged and welcomed. As you say…trust restored.
Hear hear Lorraine, I absolutely agree: “Truth and integrity, to me – are paramount.” I am also beginning to test again, and it feels amazing -myself, other people, the world – and that everything will be okay. This has also come from meeting Serge Benhayon who has shown me the upmost integrity, I would trust him with my life. There are many more people along the way who are showing me it is okay to open up and trust the world and myself again. Not everyone is out there for self made gain. That trust, I feel, must start with us. If we trust ourselves implicitly then what is true and not true will stand out like a sore thumb. I feel the biggest thing that hurts with regards to trust, is walking away from trusting ourselves.
Lorraine imagine for a minute how everybody would relate if we considered the other as a fellow human being to start with. What we consider to be the norm is quite abnormal – true. I agree how amazing to know Serge Benhayon for restoring trust in a deep way.
I needed to meet a person like Serge Benhayon who lives trust, truth and love – to connect to my own trust again. That’s how his magic works for me. He is a living example and my body is reminded how I have done this before.
Being able to trust people again is a milestone within itself. Knowing that living a joyful, loving life is normal is a revelation. Just great, thank you Lorraine.
I can relate to what you have written here Lorraine as it took me a long time to trust that Serge Benhayon was the real deal, even though I knew it deep down, there was a part of me expecting him to slip up and be like everyone else in my life at that time. Eight years on and he hasn’t faltered once and his level of commitment to humanity is there for all to see and feel.
Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine reflect love, truth and integrity in all that they do. Truly inspirational when one considers the level of “..corruption, deception, greed and lack of integrity..” in the world today.
Amazing the power of one man making truly loving and truth-full choices. Inspiring!
Hear Joshua and in an even bigger picture an amazing solution to humanities woes.
With corruption permeating nearly every corner of the world I too have had my trust restored by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine through the love and integrity they have consistently shown. They are a blessing to everyone reflecting what we can trust and how we can all choose to live.
The more I open my eyes, the more corruption I see in the world. It felt easy for me to close my eyes to it – but as I’ve now realised, by closing my eyes to it, I am actually saying yes to it. Thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I feel equipped to deal with the truth of the corruption – and also feel confident to speak truth whenever the opportunity presents.
Thank you Lorraine and Brooke, I agree, to see what is truly going on and remain open, puts the truth in our hearts, instead of the shutting down, ‘closing our eyes’ or turning our backs. By being open we are better ‘equipped to deal with the truth of the corruption’. To observe and not absorb in this way brings a clarity, that allows our sixth sense or what we feel, to know what to share and how to share the truth, so then it will be heard as a lived truth and not just words.
I am working everyday within an Industry that is choosing to abuse their workforce in order to achieve their goals and make Profits. lncentives are put in place to bribe people to drive themselves to meet these goals. The lack of integrity, greed and deception is rife and we allow this. The need for survival and security drives people lo accept this. This inturn has massive ramifications in our lives and our whole health. Serge Benhayon is calling this out, exposing what is happening and offering a way to live that honours the love and integrity we naturally are. The bottom line is that the choice is up to us. How are we choosing to live and what are we accepting in our lives?
This is exactly what I have found, that as companies become so solely focused on the business, their profits, their success, and their survival that they loose complete sight of people, both those working for them and those they provide a service to, in this the lack of integrity I notice has a direct link to what I would call the true measure of success of a company. That being the relationships that stand within the company.
The consistency with which Serge has been presenting and living is the only true way to bring back that trust, and it inspires all of us that know him to live that ourselves, and for humanity.
Lorraine I agree . . . for me the consistency of Serge Benhayon walking what he is talking is being so noticeable and exactly this was my way back to trust human beings again.
Serge Benhayon reflects love, integrity and truth to us all. Thank you Lorraine for writing this.
Serge to me is like a beacon in a world gone mad. Listening to the news can put us in depressed state. There are new levels of corruption emerging every day. Staying connected to myself and reading blogs such as this one keep me on an even keel.
So true Lorraine, in Serge Benhayon I have found that truth and integrity are paramount and his love, dedication and service to humanity is second to none.
If truth is paramount then you have found the right guy. I have never felt so much truth before until I heard Serge present and till this day (almost 5 years later) he has been consistent. He is something I can definitely trust.
Beautiful and simple. I really enjoyed this blog. It highlights that we all know the world is deeply wrong and that we are all searching for one way or another to find truth and live with true love.
Trust is not easily achieved which make it all the more of a stand out when you do meet people who you feel you can trust, such as Serge Benhayon. I agree Lorraine, his steady, loving way of life is inspirational.
I can relate to that Lorraine Wellman. Thank to your this blog I am now pondering on this fact and I too realise myself that I had lost trust in society completely before I met Serge Benhayon for 7 to 8 years ago. The love and care Serge presents for humanity and the restoration of the relation with the power of my inner knowing by healing the hurts I carried in my body, have given me the strength to restore my trust in society again.
I totally agree Lorraine, it’s quite shocking when you think of all the corruption that goes on around us all the time and it’s just accepted as the norm. There is such a prevalence of greed and a drive for individuals to better themselves, even and in spite of the detriment to others. I have loved the way Serge Benhayon has inspired me to consider all of humanity and not to just look at life from my own perspective.
Alison this is a great comment, and something that I was presented with today, in what would seem the most unusual of places – the supermarket checkout. Somehow the conversation with the person on the till ( no such thing as accidents or coincidences) turned to the level of corruption in this world. The person on the till brought to light something I was not aware of in terms of countries in Europe being very corrupt – ones I knew of, yes, that were obvious, but others I had no idea about the level of corruption on the roads so to speak. Official people in service positions looking for backhanders or extorting money from people travelling or even locals I would imagine. This all came from this person’s lived experience of being abroad. It just really brought to light for me the many areas of corruption in this world, and greed – by people in jobs we would imagine hold a position of trust and integrity, and don’t. So thank God for Serge Benhayon and now many others who are living with trust, truth and integrity. This will eventually be restored in all of humanity. It may take some time, for people to trust again, but I have absolutely no doubt that this will happen.
Truth and integrity in people hasn’t always been easy for me to find.For me Serge Benhayon is the preverbal “Light House” of truth and integrity. A beacon for all who are willing to see.
Agree Mick, Serge Benhayon is the holder of truth and integrity and an inspiration for everybody.
I absolutely agree Mick.
I do totally agree, there are a lot of non truths in society these days, and Serge Benhayon is indeed an enormously fresh wind with lots of integrity.
So true Mick! Serge Benhayon offers us an opportunity to choose the same truth and integrity for ourselves.
Beautifully said Mick and I appreciate this everyday about Serge Behayon and the many inspiring people I have met who are also expressing truth and integrity.
Through living truth and integrity on a daily basis Serge Benhayon has inspired many to not only know the truth of these qualities but to live them to the best of their ability. I know that now that I truly know what truth and integrity are that it is much easier for me to call out corruption and to see the ever subtle levels of it that often went unnoticed by me.
Lorraine, I agree with the beautiful truth about Serge Benhayon that you have experienced: the love, truth, integrity and genuine commitment and care he has for humanity is truly inspiring and the way he is and lives has also restored my trust in people. And as I have been inspired to re-connect to my love and truth I have also re-learned to let people in through developing my awareness and acceptance of love with understanding.
Serge Benhayon has been a true inspiration in my life, he embodies integrity, love and compassion like no other and has allowed me to live my life being more loving, open and non-judgemental of others.
I love this short and concise blog, it is the truth. And I agree Lorraine (something I am still working on and that is trust) but I have never met a man who presents the absolute truth no matter what or people might say, and that is absolute love. Serge can see the deep mess we are in and is willing to stand up and say no to all that is not love nor okay, and yes this may ruffle a few feathers or cause some resistance, but I am with him all the way.
Awesome Gylrae, I am too. I love your commitment and willingness to stand up for truth. Trust is something we can build on so to be open to allow trust into your life is beautiful to read.
Truth and integrity are what is needed to reawaken humanity. Serge Benhayon inspires others to reconnect to the truth and right now all across the planet many people are starting to make more self loving choices. This feels amazing and is indeed a much needed change for humanity. ✨
Good to read that you see things for what they really are.
I totally agree with you Lorraine, Serge Benhayon has helped me enormously with my trust in myself and the world, and continues to do so. His integrity and love is there for all equally, unwavering, and I am deeply grateful.
Serge Benhayon also helped me – and still helps me – to trust again, so that my way of connecting to people of different backgrounds around the world deepens and evolves.
Serge Benhayon has helped so many people to re-build their trust in others and in living because he enables them to re-build their trust in themselves and this he is able to do because he completely lives and walks his talk.
I had similar experience, Lorraine, being ready to give up on humanity and life. Everything felt like a huge illusion, false pretend. I found it very difficult to trust people too. Meeting Serge Benhayon brought this simple understanding – I don’t need to expect anything from people. The only thing I can do – I can connect to my heart and be myself as much as I can. Not to be judgmental, not to have comparison and jealousy, knowing that we are one and the same -Serge is showing all of it to us every moment of his life.
Truth and integrity are paramount in my life also, Serge Benhayon is one person who has reflected a level of truth and integrity that I have never experienced anywhere before. This I have found extremely inspiring in how I choose to live my life.
Yes Lorraine, Serge Benhayon is a man who speaks and lives truth. Through his deep love for humanity he is reflecting to us that there is a different way to live, a way that each and every one of us can choose.
When it comes to corruption and trust, you sure do speak for me too Lorraine. I was becoming pretty cynical about humanity after seeing levels of corruption in Universities, media, and corporations that made me feel overwhelmed and dismayed to be part of humanity. It seemed that true goodness was so small in comparison to the evil. However Serge Benhayon turned that around for me – with understanding came a bigger perspective that has allowed me to not react and get down about the state of the world, and yet feel empowered to continue working more effectively towards the change we must bring in.
Yes Lorraine, one only has to be at one of the events offered by Universal Medicine where Serge Benhayon is presenting and you experience that the love and integrity of humanity is still alive and well and that you too can go out and be that in the world knowing and trusting that it is all still there. Serge Benhayon has also helped me to re-connect to and trust in humanity but more than that, to re-connect and trust in me.
Lorraine I feel as strongly as you about integrity and truth being paramount. And I hands down agree that Serge Benhayon speaks the truth like no other. Finding Serge Benhayon was a feeling of coming home, as here was a man that spoke the language of truth, a confirmation that this was the way humans are meant to be.
Hear hear Lorraine – the way Serge Benhayon walks his talk has been instrumental in restoring my faith in myself and in life, despite the corruption that exists all around.
Trust for me is to truly connect. I was in such fear to connect and I made the same experience, Lorraine. To feel how connected Serge Benhayon is and how this spark magically invites people around him to connect, too, it was as if Heaven kissed Earth.
Beautifully expressed Felixschumacher8. By building our connection to who we are we naturally inspire others to connect to themselves too. The magic and power of reflection can change the world. Serge Benhayon is reflecting to the world absolute, truth, love, stillness, joy and harmony for us all to know we can choose this way of living too. ‘Heaven kissed Earth’ indeed!
Hear, hear Lorraine. To witness such corruption, to effectively lose trust… and then to be met by an ‘ordinary yet extraordinary man’, Serge Benhayon, who has no holes whatsoever in terms of integrity… this is life changing.
Thanks Lorraine – you raise very important questions here. Seemingly most people do not want the truth to emerge, but is that really true or have we simply learnt that this is the ‘safe’ way to do it, as this is how the majority are doing it – and that we are terrified of what might happen if we stick our heads out and speak up where no one else does?
Thanks Lorraine. I can certainly relate to the trust issue which is something I have had for most of my life. I always used to say I didn’t like people but it wasn’t that I didn’t like them, it was that I didn’t trust them. The presentations of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon have helped me in regaining that trust and more importantly, something I had never recognised before, has helped in regaining the trust of myself.
Serge Benhayon’s integrity and absolute sincerity stood out to me too the first time I met him and since then I’ve only ever seen his level of care for people get greater.
Well said, Lorraine, and what is beautiful about Serge Benhayon is that he gives us the tools within ourselves to actually stand up in the world against the greed and corruption which we can all see. It seems overwhelming to try and stand out in these environments – as you yourself have experienced – but Serge can support us in this, in showing us a way of life in which we become self-contained and containing vessels of Truth, which do not need others/’the system’ to respond to us and change; but that rather we claim our own truth within ourselves, and not only speak that truth, but LIVE it, which then provides the reflection that the corrupted institutions in the world so desperately need. The key is not to need others in our life/around us to ‘get it’; but rather to speak and live truth ourselves, simply BECAUSE it is Truth.
Before attending presentations by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, I too struggled with a trust issue. These talks supported me to understand and become aware of the importance of building trust with myself, which has led to a rekindling of my trust with others.
“These talks supported me to understand and become aware of the importance of building trust with myself, which has led to a rekindling of my trust with others.” Yes, this is important Elizabeth, to build trust in ourselves first.
Me too Mccannelizabeth, allowing myself to trust again has been a massive healing. It opened my heart, eyes, pretty much my whole body to receive love and to express love again.
Beautifully said Elizabeth for if we don’t rekindle a particular quality within ourselves we can never express it in full with others.
It is lovely to re-read this blog Lorraine and feel the difference in how it is possible for me to really enjoy people with an open heartedness, not experienced before attending presentations by Serge Benhayon.
Well said Lorraine.
When I first heard Serge on an audio, I knew he was speaking truth. Then I saw others, it was not only him, there were others with the same joy, integrity, compassion. That is when I knew it was true. The joy we experience when we see the consistency of the love, the lack of dynamics, and the not attached kind of generosity, I agree with you Lorraine, that starts to rebuild our trust in the human race. When others says it does not exist, we can say it does, because we have seen it and experienced it on a personal level.
Very simply and clearly expressed. I totally agree with what you say about Serge Benhayon and it is by his inspiring example that he shows that to change the way the world is at present, is for each of us to stand up for Truth until eventually that is the common way.
Yes I agree Lorraine that Serge Benhayon has immense integrity and is not afraid to stand up for truth no matter what or no matter whether anyone else is standing beside him or not.
I absolutely agree Andrewmooney26, this inspires me to do the same, stand up for truth.
Hi Lorraine, Yes I know exactly what you are talking about here, to watch how the world operates – man’s inhumanity to man – has always been a killer for me. Learning a new way to understand how to be in that has allowed me to begin to open up to the world and I agree with you Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine show us a way of living that is loving and joyful and is something we all essentially are.
Serge Benhayon offers us the new ‘normal’. That there is still value in the truth, in equality and in love.
So many people have opened their eyes because of the choice he gives us to see more.
It is an absolute selfless act, and I have nothing but love and respect for what he has shown me.
So beautifully expressed, and yes many more have and will open their eyes.
Thank you Lorraine for this simple and powerful blog. I can relate to what your experience was and certainly for me, Serge Benhayon has been the person who has supported me to let go of keeping myself separated from people, to avoid further hurt and pain and realise there are people who live with integrity and truth.
Serge Benhayon to me has been the only workshop presenter I’ve experienced to make complete sense in everything he presents. To add to that, the integrity and endless patience and love for all equally is also astounding.
It has been a totally different experience to see and feel that endless patience, and initially I thought it was unique. But more and more I see other people being inspired by his example, and now living this for themselves. It’s there for all of us if we are willing to commit ourselves with purpose.
Hi Lorraine, before I met Serge Benhayon I remember being very disillusioned with the world and how people are to each other. But these days I have a deeper understanding of why people do what they do and that there does not have to be chaos in our lives, if we make different choices. I have been shown that there are things and people in my life that are consistent and that I can trust them.
Thank you Lorraine, this is a beautiful piece of writing and ‘no frills’, as jsnelgrove36 says.
Hello Lorraine. I too had lost trust in the world and the way it was operating and I felt that I did not belong here. Finding Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine has helped me to restore that trust and I realised that
1) “all is is order”
2) we can change the world when we live from our hearts and start opening to Love and living it.
Beautiful Maryline, building trust in ourselves and in people unites us and is extremely healing.
Lorraine, I loved the simplicity of your blog. Meeting Serge Benhayon was the start of my journey in learning to trust again.
So simply expressed, Lorraine. It has been amazing to meet people who truly live all they say. The consistent call for humanity to see the deep mess we are, indeed, in and to meet ourselves first and foremost was all the inspiration I needed to come out of the “la la land” I was in. I still have “la la” moments but more and more l feel to express from my own understanding of where things are at. The corruption, lies and manipulations to keep it all going are endemic and will not be seen until it’s called out again and again by those who truly see. Thank God for the Benhayon’s and Universal Medicine for doing just that and inspiring, too, all those who were ready to listen, to do the same.
Hi Lorraine, I agree, Serge Benhayon and all the people associated with Universal Medicine have certainly inspired me to see life differently, so that I can allow myself to open up and trust more.
For me too, the consistency and absolute love that Serge Benhayon has presented over the years has restored my trust, not only in him but also in others. Its a precious gift.
Thank you Lorraine Wellman for expressing your Truth which is deeply felt and much appreciated. I too had my trust restored when I met Serge Benhayon who has absolute integrity and speaks the truth. He has supported me to find my own understanding of the world that I see and has deeply inspired me to live for myself in a way that is dedicated to serving and supporting humanity. Without the teachings and true support I have received from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine practitioners, I doubt I would be at this point in my life right now. As Dragana Brown says in her comments – the world desperately needs more people like Serge Benhayon.
Agreed – the world desperately needs more people like Serge Benhayon, his integrity, truth and love has without doubt restored my trust too, in that it is possible for people to be truly caring to one another, and there is a different way to treat both myself and other people. This has been invaluable to me. Well said Lorraine 🙂
I agree Bina, very well said. Serge Benhayon and people at Universal Medicine have also inspired me to build trust back into my life. This has been incredible to experience and now live with more trust, openness and love.
The power and beauty in what you have expressed here so simply, as it is, with no frills is awesome. Lorraine, Thank you.
Thank you Lorraine so very true in every way I love this line “Serge Benhayon, by how he is, has helped me to build trust in people; showed that there are people who have integrity, who speak the truth, have genuine compassion and so much more…”
Way to go Lorraine to live with trust and be open to love is so much more helpful and approaching corruption from this foundation is powerful and inspires others to be more trusting and loving.
Beautiful Lorraine, thank you.
Amen.
…to trust again is such an opening to be ourselves and love, beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you Lorraine, for expressing that trusting people should be the norm and that because of Universal Medicine some people are learning to trust again.
Yes Serge Benhayon is showing us that the world need not remain in this sorry state. There is much love and joy in our common humanity if only we step up.
I relate to what you have written Lorraine. In the past I too struggled with the huge amount of awfulness I saw in the world and felt like giving up. Like you, I have been inspired by the way that Serge Benhayon lives every day and the unwavering commitment he has to love, truth and humanity. This has shown me that there is another way and has inspired me to step up rather than give up.
I agree Nicola. There were times when I just wanted to pull the blankets over my head and shut out the world that seemed bent on self-destruction. I have been inspired by Serge Benhayon in the way he lives and speaks the truth that there is another way for us all to live together in harmony.
“To step up rather than give up.” Brilliantly put Nicola. I never saw myself as someone who gave up, for I was always wiling to take up the fight. But then I realised that the fight actually came from a deep place of giving up, for I had long ago given up on love and myself in the face of what I saw. Standing up for truth is not about engaging in the fight, and compromising who you are. It is about consistently presenting truth as you know it, from how you live, in a way that is uncompromising in its presentation, but equally allows others the freedom to accept or reject what is offered.
I also used to have very little trust, living in reaction to life and the world around me. I realise now how disempowering that was, and the fact that I am love never changes no matter what, wherever I am, and it is entirely up to me how I choose to hold myself in that.
When we trust there is never a fight with ourselves or with others. Trust is bridging, confirming and brings people together.
Awesome Nicole, I love your comment…. ‘to step up rather than give up’ Stepping up means taking responsibility and commitment, very inspiring.
This is the second time in two days that the word TRUST got flagged in front of me. I recently watched a video clip in which it was stated “One of the first things that a child learns in a healthy family is TRUST” (Mr Rogers, US Senate).
The flaw with most adults’ attitude is that we often say one thing but do another. How does this affect trust in a young child or even an adult?
I remember losing trust when I was very young; in members of my family, neighbours, civil servants, politicians… I even moved countries, because grass appeared greener across the borders. To no avail.
How do we trust people who tell us they love us but they don’t even love themselves? If a homeless person was offering us a home, we’d take it with extreme precaution, wouldn’t we?
When I met Serge Benhayon I met a person with whom I felt I could be utterly sincere. I could even think aloud before him. If felt at last, I arrived in the presence of a man who was/is real and equal, and that I could drop even those undermost garments of pretence, courtesy, and qualm, which I usually never put off. Interacting with Serge involves simplicity and wholeness which is equal to one chemical atom meeting another.
The world desperately needs more people like Serge and the Benhayons.
As Fred Rogers tenderly put it back in 1969: “We’ve got to have more of this neighbourhood expression of care”!
Dragana, your comment takes it that one step further in helping us understand why trust is so important, and the effects it has had on you, learning to be real and honest and so providing an opportunity to explore what is really going on.
Great comment Draganabrown, if we want to regain trust we must first trust ourselves, how can we trust others if we are not able to trust ourselves? Same thing with love as you’ve shared. The qualities we hold within ourselves can assist us to reflect and see the same in others.
Beautifully said thanks Lorraine.
I too am stunned at times at how people treat each other, Lorraine, and what they consider normal. It’s no wonder the world is in a deep mess. It certainly has been a joy to meet and be inspired by Serge Benhayon and the people associated with Universal Medicine who show their dedication to humanity by truly living with integrity and compassion for all.
Same for me too Mary. Since attending Universal Medicine joy is now returning to my life more and more each day through reconnecting to what was already residing in me, love and joy. I feel safe to express who I am as I am more able and willing to trust.
