307 thoughts on “Universal Medicine & My Abusive Marriage: Setting the Record Straight”

1. Thank you for sharing your experience of domestic abuse, we all know it goes on within families. Why is it that in this supposedly enlightened day and age we allow this to continue? We are supposed to be more educated than at any other time in history, if this is so, then we cannot blame ignorance of not knowing or understanding what abuse is.

2. It is lovely to read how you said ‘no’ to abuse, and started to say ‘yes’ to love.

3. So powerful Anonymous. You express true love and compassion – true love, true power.

4. It’s not surprising you wish to remain anonymous – the media circus going on has no respect for truth or privacy.

5. I love your story, it’s very powerful, but hey, no prairie bonnets please, not would ruin my hair-do.

6. How many homes do we walk by and not realise that behind the walls of the building domestic violence is taking place. It is rife in our society and yet as you say mostly it goes unreported.

7. ‘It’s hard to see how a man whose life work is about love, can ruin a marriage’ – precisely.

8. I didn’t know about the bowel and heart connection. But it does make sense, as the more we let go of our beliefs and construct, the more surrendered we become, allowing the more of who we truly are to just be, love emanating, and vice versa.

9. Reading this again I am struck by the complete lack of emotional ‘charge’, just straight-forward truth through which the love, honesty and courage shines through. Very inspiring, thank you for sharing.

10. What a great, straight down the line testimonial. Marriages can be abusive and end for Universal Medicine and non-students alike as can naturopaths prescribe eliminating dairy and gluten. Universal Medicine is extraordinary in offering something very real and liveable.

    1. It is the ‘very real and liveable’ that makes what Universal Medicine present so impactful.

11. Thank you for your honesty – the way that you have come out the other side of such a challenging and abusive marriage is inspiring and how you tried out various solicitors until you found one that matched your life views and supported you through the process with love is so much needed in today’s increasingly combative and corrupt world. In attending Universal Medicine presentations you have found something that supports you to live the love that you are with no expectations. It is amazing how challenging others can find this but that is no excuse for the extensive lies and attacks that have been perpetrated over many years.

12. When we are shut down and abused by someone it is simple to see. Serge Benhayon opens us to a cornucopia of Love and is absolutely in no way abusive – that’s no cult to me.

13. Having gone through all of that Anonymous and still knowing what Love and Truth is, is inspiring. Many would be very bitter and twisted after such an experience.

14. Such a real and honest sharing. I too have never felt I have needed Serge – and yet he continues to be there for me in full. The least we can do is live what we know and set the record straight for all the love he is.

    1. Through living more and more of our own love, inspired by a great example.

15. Thank you for sharing your life experience I was struck by your words
    “His brainwashing had thoroughly convinced me that he was always right and I was generally wrong. Because I always got it ‘wrong’, I lost the ability to make my own decisions.”
    This continuous drip feeding does have an effect on us and it wears us down we feel worthless and of no consequence, so that even when this type of bullying stops from someone it is so ingrained in our body that we actually perpetuate the momentum ourselves in many cases without realising we are doing this. The practitioners of Universal Medicine I have found to be particularly good at breaking down these false structures within in our bodies which then allows our bodies to be free and expansive which restores a harmonious flow which has been sorely lacking.

16. What you share about how things were for you is deeply touching because, as you say, so many women live this way as their normal without knowing how to report it. The proof, if ever it was needed was that in the support group you went to only one in 20 had been to the police.

17. One of the most powerful tools we learn from Serge Benhayon is how to discern energy. To not be fooled about what we see, because that is what we want to see or are used to see, but to truly allow ourselves to observe abuse and evil even though you wouldn’t expect that from the outside.

18. Love this blog and how no nonsense it is. I can see I’ve been doing the opposite in some ways as you. I’ve been attending Universal Medicine events, courses, had lots of sessions for years. I was caught up, right at the beginning, with my wanting to be liked and accepted because I felt awful about myself and had a need to prove myself. I wanted to be the best and the good student. I cringe a little thinking back on this because I got to realise that I am loved and welcomed however much I am involved, if at all. It mattered not a jot that I was acting out my insecurities even when I was completely blind to them and trying so hard. It still doesn’t matter because I know I still do so at times.

    1. The need to belong can be in students as in all other people. The beauty with Universal Medicine is that you are encouraged to develop awareness and discernment, which means you can actually question and start to break out of needy relationships.

       1. What I have discovered through my association with Universal Medicine is that I have taken back control over my life. I gave myself away as a child to adults who convinced me as a child that they knew more than I did and that their word was law, that my life depended on their magnanimity. Thanks to the courses, workshops and presentations I have rebuilt my sense of self worth to the point where I now do not listen to the negatives of what other people think about me because I have re built my sense of who I am and what I know to be true to me. This is a seismic shift in self perspective with all thanks to Universal Medicine for supporting me to regain my power and authority.

19. What a brave woman you are Anonymous. I’m sure you will never end up in this situation again; and I wonder how many more are in this situation or have been in it. Isn’t it right to say how much we know this is abuse at the worst level (and many levels) — abuse to ourselves and we allow it.
    I can so relate. You think I would be free of it myself being a boy or man but I was not. You could say I was more insidiously attacked .. but I allowed it. The reason being I am / was deeply hurt. That hurt stems from knowing how amazing and sensitive I am and I have not been that extensive love that I know with myself and therefore others .. and then fallen for the victim of I have not been seen for the love that I am. Universal Medicine has provided me that space to now be all that I am and what an honour that is!! Thank you so ever gracefully UniMed.

20. I love how what you have shared shines a light on how hellish life can be when domestic violence is the dominant rule in a relationship. Your willingness to share such intimate details of what unfolded for you supports people who have not experienced this personally to understand what goes on behind the scenes of a seemingly ‘successful’ marriage in the eyes of the observers and subsequently be more diligent for signs of control and/or abuse happening to either themselves or others.
    Saying NO to abuse in any shape or form, when it is seen or experienced, is the only way to eventually eliminate this blight from human relations.

21. What a compass for reality check this offers in so many ways.

    Psychological abuse is pernicious and all too common.

    Your extraction from this messing with your own radar is inspiring.

    Love that you just go your own way. There is no right way. Just your way. Spot on.

    Thank you.

22. Practical – real – down to earth. Simply and entirely dissolves the lies of the cyber abuse hate campaign to the nonsense they are, blips of untruth against the reality of the experience of Universal Medicine.

    Superb piece of writing. Thank you anonymous.

    1. Yes, the honesty here completely exposes the lies of the hate campaign against Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and expressed without any judgment, resentment or any sense of victimhood.

23. Outstanding sharing about the truth of what happened with your relationship. No media hype here. Although one can say where are they media in their discussion about family violence when its happening, but yet they are all over the fact that a relationship has ended because someone has said no to the abuse? None of us like the reflection of the levels of abuse we have accepted and continue to accept in our own lives and we see it clearly when someone steps up and says no.

24. Being able to say no to abuse is being able to say yes to love. It is this yes that begins the deeply exquisite ‘coming home’ process.

    1. The ridiculous thing is we are all already home. We act like snails who are perpetually looking for somewhere to sleep whilst all along their beds are on their backs.

25. Some people only feel at ease when they manage you seeing life through their eyes.

    1. Yes Eduardo and try to make you see life through their eyes by working on the control rather than allowing each other to simply be who they are. I see this now as people desperately wanting to be heard and met and yet they don’t trust they will be accepted so they try to force the issue.

26. It is not about that what we express superficially in life, it is about the inner core, that point of light that we all equally hold inside and can be seen by anyone who is open to see it.

27. When we just follow our hearts and not our head’s we eventually will find our way back ‘home’, the home where the inner fire of love is burning firmly.

28. In my past I have known several men who were charming and sociable and if you met them you would never think there was an abusive bone in their bodies. But get them behind a closed door within their family setting and things were totally different. And when anything was said against them no one would believe that these men could be so abusive to their families. But the children knew and would be very reserved and contracted around them because they knew it was like walking on a tightrope one slip anything could happen. So really we have no idea what goes on behind the closed doors in our towns and cities.

    1. What is it about family that allows abuse to fester in its many disguises, abuse we for instance would never accept in the outer world, for instance at work?

       1. Nico I feel that one of the reasons is that no one but family can see what goes on in our families so that gives us a feeling of ‘getting away with it’. Many of us would behave much more atrociously than we currently do if we thought that no one was able to see or hear us. Awful really when you think about it that our behaviour is often governed by whether or not we can get away with something rather than whether or not we felt that it was a half decent thing to do.

    2. What you share is very true Mary, many charming men can change and become a threatening, violent, and terrifying bully in an instant behind closed doors, and this has a big impact on all the family.

    3. Yes, the children in these scenarios became hyper vigilant, never knowing if they would get the Jekyll or Hyde, ‘But the children knew and would be very reserved and contracted around them because they knew it was like walking on a tightrope one slip anything could happen.’

29. This is a great article as it highlights how ‘coming home’ is a natural process we do in our own time, in terms of returning to a place where we feel joy, content, love and vital, and not something that another person can determine the pace of, however we can all support each other to accelerate this process.

30. I wonder if those who abuse are looking for suitable partners and a partner who would fight or not accept their abuse at all would be suitable for them? Do they test prospective partners before things get serious and can that test be picked up and acted upon?

31. Being seen, really seen feels like the greatest gift on earth, but perhaps even greater is the ability to now see others.

32. Honest, open and beautiful. It is very obvious that Universal Medicine is not a cult which means a huge amount of energy has been expended by trolls and the media to construct the lie that it is. Only the truth can elicit such opposition. Those who truly want Truth will see through the lies.

    1. Exactly Leonne Barker, Those people that are ready to see and feel the truth, need no convincing that what is true is indeed true. Those people who carry deeply suppressed hurts may feel the truth but not be able to let go of their investment in the hurts they carry, and some people do not want the status quo to be rocked and will do and say anything to keep their life’s comfortable. History shows how this continues to play out.

33. Your story Anonymous, reminds me that we should never settle for how life seems but keep questioning, exploring and feeling. We might find the truth is far from what most people think is right.

34. For some, the ‘ideal’ relationship is when you renounce to see life through your eyes and start seeing it from your partner’s.

35. Standing for truth is incredibly powerful and your commitment to Truth is stunning Anonymous. I can feel your integrity in every word. Thank you.

36. There are many who choose to separate from their partners, however to do so with integrity is not often even thought about, let alone actually lived. We could all do well to look deeply at what is offered in this article. As love and integrity were the foundation of separating.

37. it takes such a commitment to make some choices… Even though they seem profoundly difficult… And yet when the choices are made, life moves like a river to flow with those choices.

38. “When I did decide to leave, I believed that I needed to hold on to my love for him because it would take love to break up with integrity.” What a truly inspiring reflection and truly inspiring how you followed through with this, Anonymous. Thank you for sharing.

39. There is no such thing as brainwashing, there is the submitting to the will of another and that, at its baseline, is a choice, however hard and challenging that is to accept.

40. Thank you Anonymous, I loved how you reclaimed yourself through changing some of the choices that you made respecting yourself, and knowing how much more you are worth, when we value ourselves we start to see clearly everything that does not value the love we are.

    1. Yes, that takes enormous courage.

41. ‘A lack of legal evidence does not negate the existence of abuse. Failure to report is not evidence that there is nothing to report on’. Many of us today are living in abusive homes that is causing immeasurable harm on many levels of our lives and totally undermining our potential.

42. We often manage to get by by seeing the love, truth and potential in people but if we don’t see the other as well, we can pay a heavy price.

    1. So true.

43. The world hungers, each and every person at some stage in their life truly hungers to be met… There are no exceptions. All it can happen is that this can become so buried that it is no longer recognised… And yet it will be always driving the behaviour of the person.

44. I guess for many of us being seen and met for who we are is like a permission we have been waiting for all along – like, finally, it is ok to feel what we feel and express what we express. Very inspiring to read how that has supported you to empower yourself, as that is something we can all offer to anyone we come in contact with.

    1. Yes, it gives us a role model we can then choose to emulate, something we didn’t have before.

    2. Yes, accepting our self is the first step to even noticing there is a deeper level of acceptance to go to with another.

45. Thank you for sharing this very warm loving return to your self and the foundation this offers for all to return no matter what the circumstances of life. As you so clearly state Serge Benhayon doesn’t do this for us, he is simply offering the absolutely rock solid foundation for us to also step on if we choose.

46. I have now been attending Universal Medicine events for the past 7 years. Perhaps the most significant change has been the quality of relationships. The reason is simple and it is because when we choose to have a loving relationship with ourselves, we then have more loving relationships with those around us too. I have steadily grown in self-love and continue to do so. To me, this is what is needed in our world – more self-love that becomes loving relationships with each other.

47. Thanks for sharing so openly. The truth in which you have expressed was a joy to read, even though many parts of what you shared were shocking.

48. Thank you for sharing its so wonderful to read truth expressed.

49. You are utterly amazing, I love what you share, you completely yourself and no matter what has happened you bring that to everything. Thank you so much for sharing your story, and for showing what true integrity and humanity is.

50. This is such a great blog. This is exactly what I see with people who attend presentations by Universal Medicine and that is that some people go often, some rarely and others now and then. This is the beauty of a religion that simply just inspires us to be ourselves.

51. I love this blog . . . it says it all and is so real there can be no denying the Truth as it is spelt out in no uncertain terms. This is a heart felt sharing.

52. A beautiful appreciation of how you have chosen to change your life and no one did it for you.

53. Frank, practical and honest writing like this is what the world needs to hear. What you offer is freedom to choose what is right for you without the impost of media lies, or abusive internet trolls.

54. There is no brainwashing. This does not exist. It is important to clarify this. What there is, is a decision to submit to another person as a way to ensure that nothing bad (as if submitting to someone were not bad enough) would happen to us. It is a way to try to hold what cannot be held, to sustain the unsustainable, to fit in without calling anybody’s attention. Some do this because they cannot afford anything else. Other people do this willingly because they have no intention to evolve. There is not truth in submitting to someone else. There is not truth in encouraging/forcing such submission either.

55. Thank you for being so courageous and sharing your journey so far with us. What you have expressed will inspire others who are in similar abusive relationships to save themselves and their families too.

56. I love what you share here in this blog, about your life experiences and the difference to your life after starting to embrace some of Universal medicine’s philosophies.

57. Abuse comes in many shapes and sizes, but never is it acceptable, thank you for honestly sharing your experience of abuse and finally saying no to it.

    1. Not only have we made abuse acceptable but we encourage it. What about the good old ‘All you can eat buffet?’, or the marathons that we applaud people for doing? What about the ‘only juice diets’ that we swear are great for us? What about carting our kids here there and everywhere to do different activities whilst never once looking in their eyes, what about using screens as babysitters for our kids, what about an education system that makes our kids sit for hours upon hours looking straight ahead? Abuse is the foundation of our society when in truth it’s meant to be love and connection.

58. I really appreciate the sipmple honesty shared in this article. It has come from a woman who knows herself and is not afraid to be herself.

59. That is the deceptive thing about abuse – it comes in many shapes and forms. But, there is no denying that everyone knows right from wrong and everyone always has the opportunity to choose how they will treat another and the responsibility to ensure that it is respectful and loving.

60. I haven’t read this blog for a long time, and I loved it just as much… such down to earth common sense applied to the situation exposes the vicious hate campaign for the concoction of lies and false accusation that it is. As you so succinctly say, your family and friends had no concerns about your Unimed associations, but they did have concerns about the cyber-bullying in the guise of concerned citizen.

    1. Agreed Jenny. I haven’t read this blog for a long time either and it’s super solid with the frank, practical reality stated so plainly. It absolutely exposes the hate campaign for the nonsensical concoction it is.

61. Having a session with an Esoteric practitioner where I am being offered to take responsibility can be confronting yet empowering. When taking responsibility for the life I have created I cannot put the blame on the outer but focus on the inner and what is going on within me. Re-connecting I observe; there is no judgement and I heal and then the outer naturally reflects the loving choices I have made.

    1. A lovely reflection of a true healing session. As you share, Caroline, being reflected the responsibility, the truth of a situation can be confronting and challenging yet so empowering if acknowledged.

62. Wow, the love Anonymous has found for herself is deeply inspiring. The what may seem old behaviours we find ourselves in have been carefully calculated and measured by our own doing but when we make a choice to see truth we begin to unravel those ill-choices that did not serve us and we begin to live a life in love and inspire others to do so. Thank you for sharing with such honesty.

63. The campaign against Serge Benhayon has been going on for over 4 years and still continues now. The relentlessness of this would affect, upset and traumatise most people, but not Serge, who continues to remain transparent and live love to the full, offering a reflection in his daily living way that is incredible and inspiring, but can bring out reactions in people as they realise that they are not choosing this for themselves. I love what you say in your blog that, ‘My friends and family who don’t attend Universal Medicine love me and support me and trust me. None of them are freaking out about my UniMed involvement. They are freaked out by the cyber-bullying though’.

64. I feel a deep respect and appreciation of your honesty about abuse and its hidden consequences that you have experienced. It is a powerful read and inspiring to women, many of which have allowed abuse in various forms in their life. I love this reclaiming of yourself -“I feel seen. I have come home”.

65. What an amazing sharing, so honest and exposing that we can get caught up in what we see, yet there can be so much going on behind closed doors. It is such a great expose in taking responsibility for ones own healing and path of return to who we truly are, which is one we must all take for ourselves, we can be inspired, but ultimately it then comes down to our own choices.

66. What leapt out at me me in this article was that how surface presentation can be so different from what is actually going on, the truth… And there are so many households, villages, cities, like this. I was recently staying in a small town in Germany… It was extremely neat and tidy, my friend who I was staying with said that beneath the surface seethed all sorts of violence and abuse… It really is essential that we can feel the energy so that we are never fooled again.

67. Coming back to your story again today Anonymous I am again struck by your courage and commitment to finding you, being you and, in your own way, calling out the horrendous abuse. Your search for love and truth is very inspiring.

68. Thank you Anonymous for writing with a deep commitment for putting the facts out as they are and what you are feeling. What you have said yes to for so long no longer serves you and the choices you are making in life are about the self care and love that is within us all and is the ultimate request of responsibility and respect from another. Your blog is inspiring and a marker of truth to show that the lies that are written from another can not touch us when we already know what is truth and are living this truth.

69. What stands out for me with this article is how the integrity of anonymous was the key to her finding the work of Serge Benhayon. Could it be this innate integrity and full knowing that there is a way to live that flies in the face of what we have accepted as normal in life to be, is the call that each person associated with Universal Medicine was willing to follow from within them selves? That we infact simply accepted our choice to hold our integrity as a value?

70. I love your honesty, strength and courage, abuse is never acceptable.

71. Often we can’t see abuse until we truly know love.

    1. Without a measure for the light, we are lost in a darkness we do not even know has enveloped us.

    2. So well said Liane. I genuinely thought that I loved abuse, of course at the time I didn’t see it as abuse, I just saw it as my life. It’s only now that I am practicing being loving with myself that so many things stand out as abusive. The word ‘abusive’ is a strong one and many would say that I’m using it inappropriately but regardless of what word I use what I now know is that so many of the things that I used to do I now consider to be harmful to my body.

       1. Alexis I agree with you I was very disregarding to myself always putting myself forward to support others without caring for myself. When I was growing up there were no role models in self care, everyone was being self abusive this has been a way of life for generations. It’s only since Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine put forward the possibility of a different way to live that humanity has been given a different choice.

72. A fascinating read each time Anonymous, I just love the strength, honesty and straight shooting you express in. It is very refreshing and makes very real what is offered by Serge Benhayon and the students of Universal Medicine.

73. This is a really interesting and powerful account of your life, abusive relationship and relationship with Universal Medicine, thank you for sharing. It doesn’t make sense for cyber abusers like those who are criticising Serge Benhayon and UM to have such an issue with people making their own decision to listen to presentations or learn from the Ageless Wisdom Teachings, if they make sense to them… As you’ve shared, the way you discovered UM was through your own interest and feeling that what was being said made sense; no brainwashing, persuasion or recruiting was involved.

74. These words alone smash any notion of women who are students of Universal Medicine being some ‘mindless followers’ – I mean, seriously… where does such gutter-level journalism get such tripe…

    1. From the sewer below.

75. This is one of the most outrightly honest things I’ve ever read. Holy moly anonymous, you are one heck of a woman who has clearly learnt so much about life through these difficulties… I can’t help but rejoice so very deeply in my heart that you broke out of what bound you to such an abusive marriage. And I can’t help but appreciate, deeply so, the reality you’ve brought to the ridiculous assertions about Serge Benhayon, and that you were so prompted to write for this forum. That you’ve been so touched by his work and never imposed upon by those already associated makes absolute sense to me. This is a man of the highest integrity I know, inspiring so very many to reclaim themselves in this world and make life about the real deal of love – in a world where, as you know all so well, so much behaviour exists that is devoid of true respect, connection and love for one another.

76. A very powerful blog Anonymous… setting the record straight. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are everything you imply… unimposing, full of integrity, embracing, accepting, respectful and deeply honouring of every persons choices and circumstance.

77. I love your honesty Anonymous and how you do not hold back sharing every part of what has unfolded for you before and after meeting Serge Benhayon. Yes I agree imagine if when we are young women we were taught to only allow a loving touch to our extremely sacred and precious bodies and that we equally touched others in the same way.

78. Abuse is abuse and nobody should have to put up with it. Thank you for sharing your story Anonymous. It is greatly appreciated as it says so much and has indeed set the records straight.

79. We are all precious and worthy of love and nobody should tolerate abuse.

80. In coming out of a bad relationship it is gorgeous to be surrounded by such love, to feel deeply met and be embraced like you have truly come home. What an amazing way to heal what has come before. Thank you for both sharing your story and for standing up against the hate campaign against those who do not deserve it.

81. Stepping away from abuse, whether it is physical or much more subtle, takes courage, strength and a huge amount of love for yourself Anon. Inspiring.

82. I wish I knew who you were so I could give you a hug right back. You fully inspire me reading your story. And so real….thank you.

    1. Me too Anna, there is such a gorgeous strength in this woman that is very inspiring to feel.

83. It’s amazing how much you can take on and think is your fault courtesy of the confusion caused by the erosion of your confidence from someone constantly undermining and devaluing you but the trick is to realise that no one has to accept that sort of treatment for there is a learning in every experience we have.

84. Your story is amazing in many ways as you are sharing and writing down what happened to you in a public forum, quite a step considering what you have experienced and been through and it is very understandable that you cannot put your name to it. Quite a healing that shows how much love Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine students and this blog are holding everyone in that they feel safe to express and show themselves.

85. This is such an amazingly honest blog, what I feel strongly reading this is someone who has lived life and found her own way with it, stepping away from abuse and each step of that clearly getting support everywhere, and finding what works in the given situation. I was inspired by your humanity anonymous to reach out to someone you’d just met (Serge) and support them when they are being attacked and abused without cause – that just blew me away. Thank you for showing me what it is to be a loving human being and that it’s there without needing any organisation involved, be that Universal Medicine or other, it’s how we can be with everyone.

86. I love the honesty here and the fact that Universal Medicine is pretty ordinary – but in an extraordinary way. It’s living a normal life but living it in full – no big deal. This is a very humbling account of what it is to choose to be a student of Universal Medicine and how it simply supports us.

87. Thank you for this blog it’s so wonderful to feel and hear the truth
    Awesome

88. Very cool Anonymous. In my personal experience, I have found that abuse experienced in life is a constant reminder for me to live the truth of who I am. Abuse is serious but seeing deeper to what causes abuse is a hurt very much like a child in constant tantrum. I also very much enjoy the process of your story, as the unfolding of love is exactly that no lightening bolt moments but it is forever an opening and deepening.

89. This is fantastic anonymous – I love the straight forward way you just call it for what it is! Very cool and go you for getting out of an abusive relationship – thank god for your backbone!

90. Universal Medicine only ever presents how we can choose to live the truth we have within, or choose to continue a life based on outside influences, and be at the mercy of those. The choice is up to us, and is there in every moment.

91. Thank you very much for this strong statement. I love the way you express about your experiences with UniMed.

92. Good work on leaving an abusive relationship, its an awesome example for others who are in similar situations.

    1. The most abusive relationship that I have ever been in by far is the relationship that I have with myself. I have trashed myself repeatedly for years and years but no more. Now I treat myself with a sense of deep respect and can feel how this can deepen even further into a way of honouring myself continually. Sure I am a long from living like that at the moment but the fact that I even know of it’s existence is a sure sign that I will live it one day.

93. I really get that – nothing dramatically may have changed in the peripherals of life itself, but the feeling of coming home – that actually changes everything about life.

94. What a great style of writing you have, raw, uncut, completely truthful, humorous and engaging. I can’t help but feel how relevant a book would be from you about your marriage and experience of abuse, and how this might help others out there to make the steps you have to choose a more loving life for themselves. I personally find an experts advice helpful, but lived experience is truly solid and inspiring to me.

95. Your sharing is very powerful on many fronts. For you personally, the choices you are making are life changing for you and it is so beautiful to feel the love you are now feeling for yourself. Serge Benhayon has never imposed his ideas on anyone and many of us can feel the truth in what he is sharing with no coercion.

96. I read “I have never been a ‘seeker’ and have always been a sceptic”, so many are caught in this, as was I and not trusting and I totally get it but when I am sceptical I miss out on so much. The one that gets affected most from this way of thinking is me. These days, I feel I am a lot more open, give people and things a chance and its great.

97. A veritable cracker of a blog! I love the honesty and willingness to simply put it out there. So-called marriages were falling apart well before Serge came along and I for one am extremely thankful for how the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine practitioners exposes false marriages simply by honouring us as capable of knowing truth. I too, fell into a belief system very similar to yours, Anonymous and am also appalled by the antics of the attackers of Serge, his work and of Universal Medicine. I wonder how these are connected, of how such lies and vitriol is perpetuated and I conclude that it is our false beliefs around what Love actually is, that fuels it. The more I deepen my understanding of Love, the true freedom and acceptance that comes from that, the greater the integrity and responsibility I have to live with. I wouldn’t want it any other way yet dealing with the incredible amounts of lovelessness in the world is the priority and the way you’ve called out the lies and abuses is doing just that. Thank you. And yes, where IS our celebrity jumping up and down on a couch?! Nowhere to be seen.

98. Thank you anonymous for “getting real” about Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. What I enjoyed reading was the level of honesty you have shown in discerning from the start what you know is the truth and the way cyber bullying masks so many ill truths to the general public in a bid to harm when you have witnessed the complete opposite.

99. what a corker of a blog! Students of Universal medicine are definitely not in a cult, and from your experience of meeting lawyers who happened to be universal medicine students we can learn that there are genuine qualities that us as human beings can live and to show this in the world, in what we do really makes a difference, people feel supported and heard.

100. Thanks Leonne for posting this blog on FB and a big thank you to the wonderful woman who wrote this blog. How beautiful is it to read something when written from the heart and spoken in truth. It’s not so much the story told, but for me the understanding that we come to along the way. As the writer has shared, to seperate in anger and what can I get out of this does not support either party, nor would we be moving on, as it’s the emotion that is the anchor that keeps us stuck to the ocean floor of hurts.

101. Wow, what a story. After years of abuse you are now being you. And whilst no one gives a jot about what you do, I’m sure everyone gives a jot about you.

102. I somehow missed this blog when it was published, I love reading them all and only read this today. I love your honesty and directness. I love how you just say it how it is… and no one cares a jot! It is so true, you come to one or all of the presentations, you change your diet or not, it really doesn’t matter, its up to you, and only you.

103. Thank you for this insight into domestic violence, showing that it is far more prevalent in society than we are aware of. As you point out from the outside you were a ‘normal’ couple where nobody would suspect any trouble underneath. And this is such a common factor in our lives, we try to keep an outer appearance we think we need to be but our actual reality is far off this ideal. So any step we take in honesty towards our real life helps us to let go of these false roles and discover how we feel underneath.

104. Thankyou for sharing the truth of your experience with Serge Benhayon. I too felt like I had come home when I connected with Universal Medicine.

105. I so enjoyed reading, what you have written here anonymous. What you have shared here, will support many people, who have been abused. I love what you said, “I feel seen.” “I have come home.” It’s so true… I also feel that way, from the first day, I was introduced to Esoteric Healing.

106. Wow Anonymous. I was held and intrigued by every word you expressed here, there is no denying your ability to call it as you see it and express the truth. You have been incredibly strong and sweetly playful in the face of some horrendous circumstances. I take my hat off to you with much respect.

107. Coming home is what it does feel like when one connects with the deep inner truth that is presented by Universal Medicine.

     1. It absolutely does! Nothing like it really. It is incomparable to anything. And is the sweetest feeling there is.

108. Great to read this again and feel the truth you are sharing. There are so many lies about Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and anything and everything it touches that it is brilliant to touch base with the reality of how it is.

109. I love your down to earth, no nonsense approach to sharing all you have felt and gained from Universal Medicine. There is no bells and whistles, just open hearts full of love, integrity and equality for all.

110. I so enjoyed reading this blog. What really struck me was when you said that people would not suspect you were in an abusive marriage because of how it appeared on the outside. It just goes to show how much happens behind closed doors!. What I absolutely love about Serge Benhayon and his family is that their life is so transparent. It is our lack of transparency that allows domestic violence and other forms of abuse to thrive.

111. A very frank, honest and straight to the point sharing. It highlights the power of being met for who you are are and how that confirms you as a person regardless of any choices made.

112. I do not see me with a prairie bonnet….I would prefer a cute cape :).
     But as you say Anonymous, however we join one thing or not – are loved anyway.

113. Written the way it is, thanks anonymous

114. There is an irresistible frankness and honesty about this piece of writing which really addresses many misgivings about the related cyber bullying slurs and lies. It is absolutely true that whatever Universal Medicine event you choose to come to – once a year, once a month, whatever, there is no hint of any concern about your choices. You are always welcomed with the same open arms and this has inspired me to let go of many beliefs about commitment and the expectations I hold of others in my life. Holding and expressing love for who people are and not what they do is the earmark of integrity and this is absolutely what Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine is about.

115. Domestic abuse in Australia is endemic, and when you add alcohol to the mix, you have a powerful dysfunctional force that continually shreds our society infecting relationships of all sorts, from the home to the workplace, in every strata.

     1. and it is shocking how we get supported by media to fear a man or something ‘out there’ and so get supported to hide even more the blinded out tolerated abuse in families.

116. Thank you for so setting the record straight re Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine in a matter of fact and no nonsense way and with such clarity.

     1. Hear Hear!!! I so agree Deborahmckay.

117. This blog is so sensible. The things going on in the Universal Medicine presentations are hardly the stuff for alarm bells to be ringing. There are people there learning to care for themselves and others with a deeper love, letting go of the judgements that we used to keep ourselves separate and bitter. Not much to get upset about.

118. Awesome article, saying it how it is, very down to earth, very warming. Never once in all the time I have been involved in Universal Medicine have I been pressured or even asked to attend an event. In actual fact, the lack of pressure or expectation allowed me to choose freely if I wanted to attend or not. For many years I attended very little, just the 5 dollar Saturday events , I now enjoy attending more things but always pick them carefully considering the whole picture, what I feel would support me, my work life and my beautiful family. Each time I do attend, I love it but never am I asked about my absence or pressured into attending more, if it is a cult, then it really is doing a sucky job of roping people in.

119. The truth shines through your sharing anonymous very clearly. Amazing to see how you have had the courage to follow your own heart in making decisions around your marriage and family. I can totally agree that when I connected with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine it was like coming home.

120. Loved re-reading this account – thank you for setting the record straight. What Universal Medicine presents is what we all innately know already, it’s a true and deeply caring way of being and living. I have also been one who lived my life in stubborn wrecklessness, where I did all the things that I knew was bad for me. I was never in bed before midnight eventhough I was always tired. I was smoking and drinking from a very young age, eating a poor diet and the list goes on and on – all because I did not want to feel the hurts of life. How different life is today, a life where I am forever learning what true purpose is about.

121. I love your humour, I love how you state it as it is, what was taken as normal was completely abusive and you now have a new marker for what is a loving relationship. It should not be seen as wrong for a man to need permission to touch a woman, I would say it is the same the other way round too. There is no excuse in the world for verbally abusing someone. I am staggered that we even need to justify what is and is not acceptable and or abusive.

122. Well said. In no way has Serge Benhayon ever told anyone what do, say, eat, drink etc.. Serge simply presents the energetic truth and then the choice is up to us. It is our free will to make our own choices and decisions. One thing that I can say is that what Serge presents is the best medicine on the planet – it is one we can and do all benefit from.

123. Amazing anonymous, Love you matter of fact way, you blow any lies away with your spot on truth.

124. That is a huge story to tell – thankyou, thankyou thankyou.

125. Your blog shows support is available for people who are going through abuse and domestic violence. There is a loving way to break up a relationship and that support is always there if we are willing to take it. Universal Medicine have supported me to understand what abuse is and I am to learn to stand up to it. Abuse is anything that is not loving.

126. “No one cared a jot” The truth is they cared about you so much that they were willing to give you the space to find your own way back to living who you truly are.

127. Thankyou for sharing your story Anon. “When I did decide to leave, I believed that I needed to hold on to my love for him because it would take love to break up with integrity” This is amazing and profound, considering what you experienced and also clarifying how Serge Benhayon hasn’t ‘coerced’ you to do anything. That beautiful man is a living example of integrity and love. Great that you feel you have come home. Me too.

128. A truly awesome, fiercely honest account of your own journey out of marriage and back to you plus at the same time a clear refutation from first hand experience of many of the lies and fabrications introduced about Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and its practitioners.

129. The thing is, that many many people feel they are coming home when they listen to Serge Benhayon, because his words connect us to the deeper inner part of us that has always been there , and that we hunger to connect to and that nurtures us in the way that only that connection can.

130. Loved every bit of this blog and how you understand how essential it is to be loved and heard and accepted for who you are. This is not cult like talk, this is a fundamental tenet of being human.

131. I find it pretty amazing that that theres such a strong will in you now to challenge what doesn’t sit alright or make sense for you like you have reclaimed and taken hold of your life, its a story that many women from abusive relationships can be inspired by.

132. A great sharing Anonymous on a life lived with abuse and the choices you made to find another way in life, super inspirational.

133. Thank you for the window you give onto a world that many of us have no experience of and for your candour on how you came through it. Your description of your introduction to Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon serves to show that there is no ra-ra, no cult grooming, merely respect and no judgement or pressure. Just an opportunity to be curious and explore, take what works and leave what doesn’t.

134. Thanks Anonymous for sharing your story which is definitely a contradiction to the way some in the media have painted Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. It’s clear reading your blog that you have allowed yourself to work out what is right for you and to develop at your own pace without taking on everything as a list of ‘must dos’, which is never the intention of what is presented. This has allowed you to build a strong foundation and is a wonderful living document for us readers as we consider our own lives and relationships within a context of self love and responsibility.

135. Thank you for sharing your experiences, an awesome testimony to join with those of so many thousands of others. True love, truth and integrity are rare qualities to find in this world, and here is one man living them all in full, and inspiring so many others to choose this way too.

136. Thank you for sharing your experiences, an awesome testimony to join with those of so many thousands of others. True love, truth and integrity are rare qualities to find in this world, and here is one living them all in full, and inspiring so many others to choose this way too.

137. Anon thank you for sharing your story about an abusive marriage, and for taking the time to set the record straight regarding Universal Medicine and correcting the false accusations by the cyberbully campaign. Your love and integrity shines through.

138. Powerful and completely dismantling of all the false accusations and stories that have been spun around the world on Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. It takes Love and Integrity to observe and write such a document. Thank you.

139. How many groups are there in the world that have such an open acceptance of everyone regardless of what they have chosen in their lives? Universal Medicine and the student body have stood out in this regard not only in my life but equally so in this blog. And like you say Anon what is so strange or cultist about a man and an organisation that does agree with present self-caring and supporting advice that is already out there or our bodies are already telling us such as gluten and dairy free and an early night?

140. This is such a real and solid story and wow what a turnaround your life and of your children must be now. And a valid testimony to Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine, the practitioners and students. Awesome and thank you for sharing.

141. It is inconceivable that someone with such a deep and abiding love for humanity as Serge Benhayon could do anything but shine a light on the path of true relatationship, and indeed be a beacon for love in this world for humanity

142. It might not be grand but it is beautifully and honestly expressed; an inspiration, especially to those of us who feel abused.
     Your story is an awesome testimony to Serge Benhayon, Natalie Benhayon, Michael Benhayon and Universal Medicine; I am inspired by you and all at Universal Medicine.

143. A fantastic blog to reread. There is much presented here to feel into. As you have described Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon did not change your life, rather they confirmed everything you had been feeling and living up until that point. They are a huge support in any circumstance.

144. Thank you for your words and I can relate Anonymous – what stood out for me too in Serge Benhayon and other practitioners of Universal Medicine was the absolute holding in love and understanding combined with a trusting in that I knew and could make my own choices. Many other people tried to help me but then (be it conscious or not) tried to tell me what to do, although this is for a short moment a relief and great. It is not truly supporting as it didn’t let me feel that I am very capable of making my own true choices. Reconnecting someone to feeling that they are ok and able to make responsible and loving choices is the greatest gift you can give to someone.

145. This is a great blog Anonymous, just telling it like it is and inspiring for anyone else caught in an abusive relationship.

146. ‘A lack of legal evidence does not negate the existence of abuse. Failure to report is not evidence that there is nothing to report on’. What powerful statements.. We know what abuse is because we all know what’s not love. And anything that is one grain less than love, is not love. It’s a form of abuse. It’s that simple, We know abuse when we receive it. We can feel it’s not love.

     1. Cathy I really resonated with that sentence as well. It seems our legal system can help if you are physically abused as there is evidence you can actually see like bruises. Mental and emotional abuse is harder to prove, as it goes unseen. Why do we doubt these people or turn a blind eye to this form of abuse? Could it be, like you have said Cathy, one grain less than love is not love and it’s a form of abuse. So on some scale we are all experiencing this abuse, unfortunately some experience this abuse more and from others.

147. This powerful sharing alone should be enough to have the cyberbullies shut down their websites as it replies to and answers most if not everything they’ve been accusing Serge Benhayon and those involved with Universal Medicine of.

148. Thank you for sharing your journey, what a journey it was. There are so many women who are out there who are or have suffered the abuse you have. Like you due to fear, they put up with the abuse physical and mental, as they have been manipulated and brainwashed that it’s their fault. I have seen a few people in this situation, who struggle to walk away. It’s great you found the strength to walk away and get some help. No women deserves to go through that kind of abuse.

149. Thank you anon this is a very powerful gem of a story you have lived thank you for sharing your real honesty is so refreshing to hear.

150. I really felt to take my time and read this slowly. There is so much here for us all to ponder on. What I felt straight up and what I can also relate to is the fact that so many women blame themselves for what goes on in abusive marriages and what struck me is just how common it happens in households – so debilitating. What I love about how you were describing Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon is that they just accept and love you as you are. You don’t need to be anything other that who you are being. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary story with us.

151. Thank you for this beautiful testimonial full of self-empowerment!

152. I really enjoyed reading your account of your experience with Universal Medicine. I can also feel your strength as the woman you are, one who knows herself and lives her own way. What a miraculous change, but not really, as you say, Serge Benhayon just presents to us what we already know but, for a while and for various reasons, had forgotten.

153. I loved taking the time to read your story anonymous because it feels authentic and true, no flowery words here or trying to impress. I also loved your honest sharing of your experience with Universal Medicine and how it has supported you but not owned you. Great sharing thank you.

154. Thank you for sharing you story with such openness, honesty and down to earth reality. What first piqued my interest in what Serge Benhayon said, were that they were things I already knew (but hadn’t felt confident to admit or live).

155. This is a really great story, thanks for sharing.

156. I see you as a very strong, courageous and purposeful women who has shown great integrity and respect through very difficult circumstances.
     You are indeed an inspiration; thank you for sharing and your honesty.

     1. Yes Shirl, I felt that too. I loved the honest factual no bull account of the truth and shedding light on what abuse can go on behind the facades. Congratulations Anon on saying no to that abuse and leaving the marriage – you are indeed an inspiration.

     2. Yes I’m with you Shirl, the strength that this woman has is very clear. You’re a power house Anonymous and a shining example to everyone who is or has experienced abuse.

157. Thanks for sharing your experience of Universal Medicine. You made it very real for us all.

158. I just love your clarity, simplicity and honesty. From the way you express, it’s really hard to imagine you being brainwashed. “I feel seen. I have come home” – this feels awesome. Thank you for sharing your story.

159. This is a grand story for its simplicity and being so real. Thank you so much for sharing it.

160. Thanks for sharing your story. It’s an inspiration to others who may be suffering abuse.

161. Wow I love this blog. So honest, open and real. Very powerful and inspiring. Exposing what can be happening in families behind closed doors. Families that are seemingly happy but they may be going through abuse. It makes me realize that what we see and hear can be deceiving. That also applies to the lies and hateful articles written about Serge Benhayon, his family and Universal Medicine. We must discern for ourselves what is truth, and not let other people’s judgment cloud ours.

     1. One could say that what the media has printed about Serge and Universal Medicine is a form of abuse. They are forcing lies onto the reader and trying to make us believe that UniMed is a cult. Is this not a form of brainwashing? Yet society allows this abuse to happen.

162. You are not the only person nor will you be the last who has tolerated having a partner who is a ‘street angel but can be a home devil’. All that you have sustained and rebuilt in yourself both before and after the breakup of your marriage clearly shows you are obviously a women on her own loving path claiming her own loving heart. I say go for it and enjoy. Great blog anonymous.

163. I feel this deeply also “I feel seen. I have come home.” To feel ‘seen’ for who you truly are is an amazing experience and I am still on the path to appreciating who I am in full. Having this reflection in my life, of my own and humanity’s potential is huge and it does indeed feel like coming ‘home’.

164. You know I find things start seeping in like little seeds planting doubt in what we are connecting to through Universal Medicine and what Serge Benhayon presents. It comes in sneakily from all different angles. What you share Anon cuts the doubt, delivers what you get when you are open to associating with Universal Medicine, it’s students and Serge Benhayon. I deeply appreciate all you have shared – so simple and true. Thank you.

165. Thanks for setting the record straight anonymous, this article felt so real and genuine.

166. A beautifully written story with a potential to help others suffering this kind of abuse. Thank you.

167. Ha I love this and by the way I think you story is pretty darn grand.

168. Thank you Anonymous for saying it just as it is. Beautiful to read this.

169. Thank you for sharing such an honest account of your interaction with Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon.

170. What I can feel as the foundation of this sharing is the normality of living life connected to ‘self’. Living life according to what feels true and just knowing that this is the way it is. Thank you Anonymous for being so clear about how the natural way and Universal Medicine are one and the same. I truly appreciate and can feel your warmth, integrity and steadiness.

171. This is very powerful to read, I can feel your power in leaving the marriage and claiming back your dignity. Thank you.

172. I really enjoyed your writing anonymous, so refreshing!
     I loved “and no one cares a jot”, so true.
     Being able to just be yourself and get on with it in whatever way you feel is right for you and have others accept you for who you are right now is pretty much what we all want I reckon. It does feel wonderful.

173. Thank you Anonymous for the honesty and courage to share the truth and to tell it how it is because of your first hand experience of ‘what is not love’.

174. A crystal clear statement by someone that is an opinionated person who has reclaimed herself after leaving abuse and manipulation and that knows first hand what abuse and manipulation is and with that background can deliver with authority on what is true about Serge Benhayon. You are absolutely right, the feeling of coming home is very strong and totally true.

175. Anonymous, your powerful words completely set the record straight in so many different ways, what you have written is crystal clear and there can be no doubting in what you have written.

176. ‘….and no-one cares a jot’ – that’s just it, whatever we bring, whatever we do, ‘no-one cares a jot’

177. A beautiful sharing that demonstrates the love and integrity of Serge Benhayon and those at Universal Medicine. Very powerful.

178. Wow anonymous you are amazing. I felt honoured to read your story and your matter of fact, open and honest style of writing addressing the lies like you have whilst sharing the healing you have experienced. Thank you for standing up to set the record straight in such an incredibly powerful way and for sharing it with us.

179. A very simply, direct and open story of how you have slowly but surely opened up to yourself, moving away from a previously abusive relationship. During that process of reclaiming yourself you have been fortunate to come into contact with Universal Medicine and simply found integrity built deep into every aspect of people’s way of living – from Serge down to the waiting room in the Lawyer’s office!

180. I really enjoyed the raw honesty of what you shared here Anonymous as it was your story, in your words. It was amazing to feel your genuine appreciation of you and your time connected to Universal Medicine. Thanks for sharing you.

181. A very frank and honest blog. Powerfully written. Thank you

182. Another beautiful example of the respect and care Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon has towards every single person which comes into connect with them

183. Dear Anonymous thank you for sharing your story. Your arduous journey came to an end when you made the right choices for yourself.

184. Thank you anonymous for this testimony of your involvement with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. It is so refreshing to read your view on how you experience your contacts and involvement with Universal Medicine and its associated practitioners. You remind me that we always know what is the truth and that this is what is so much appreciated when we also meet that in others. It feels like coming home, even with a group of people we have never met before. How naturally unified we are with each other, when we allow ourselves to live from our hearts.

185. Absolutely agree Leonne, and I feel that your comment here is also a direct expression of your beauty and love too. It is so amazing that each of us can bring so much love and life to the world just by sharing our stories and the way we feel about things. Thank you both Leonne as well as Anonymous.. Truly inspirational.

     1. Thank you Natasha and right back to you, it really is a blessing to give ourselves free reign to express how we feel.

        1. Woohoo the freedom of expression is like a bird opening its wings and taking off in full flight ~ a lovely feeling of freedom and power

     2. Beautiful expression from both of you Leonne and Natasha. Full of love, thanks.

186. Great sharing – a powerful story that confirms that our choices create the world we live in and our choices change it.

187. Thank you for sharing. Your blog will inspire others who may be going through similar abuse to find support. I am surprised to hear that only 1 out of 20 in the group you attended actually reported the abuse to the police. You have also revealed that this kind so abuse is so well hidden from families, friends and the community. It is so awesome to read how you have changed your life and the feeling of coming home when you became interested in Universal Medicine. Beautiful journey to finding your way ‘home’.

188. Thanks Anonymous for sharing your story. I appreciate the way you have presented it in a straight forward manner without drama which allows the reader to simply to get on with feeling what you are expressing. I found myself smiling at the way you tried various legal services and then ended up on the doorstep of an office which practiced law from an esoteric foundation. It just proved to me that we all find our way back to the light in our own time and in our own way.

189. Thank you for very honest blog, I enjoyed reading it.

190. You are very courageous to share your personal truth clearly honestly and humbly, for no other reason than that the truth is important to you.

191. You do have a grand story about universal medicine! Haha I love your little side note about heart attacks and the pot. And that no one cares a jot- they just love you regardless. What universal medicine presents, as you have outlined above, is not uncommon or really out there as many people share the same views etc without even attending a presentation. Thank you for sharing… I met a women today and saw a glimpse at what the extent of damage from an abusive relationship can be. It must not have been easy.

192. Thank you anonymous for the honesty and expression of truth.

193. Now that is the Universal Medicine that I know. Of course, such a simple sharing of the facts is never going to sell newspapers. The angle of a destructive cult is so much more enticing, and definitely guaranteed to sell purely on the fact that it entertains our fears. Universal Medicine is supported by a community of people who are united in the fact that for the most part, they align to the views on life presented by Serge Benhayon. Although what Serge Benhayon presents is often so simple, the media seems to struggle with why so many people seem to be inspired to change their lives for the better having put into practice the teachings of Universal Medicine. If they delved a little deeper, they might actually find an inspiring story. But of course, as we all know good news stories – void of the drama of human life – just don’t sell.

     1. It is the fears we have that get whipped up by the media that then make us so easily manipulated to the agenda that they are working to. This is what is happening on a much larger scale now the media is whipping up fear to see how easily the population can be controlled so that even more of our ‘liberties’ can be taken away without a single shot being fired.

194. I could feel the expansion of you as you write this. Thank you Anon.
     The love that Serge Benhayon is something which cannot be questioned as deep down we know his presentations to be true.

195. Thank you for your honest opinion of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon

196. This is so awesome, love every single word of it and your humor is amazing. This is a GREAT story about Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon because you are showing how NORMAL it is what he presents. And that it is, its simple and normal and Serge is just reminding us of what it truly means to make love our foundation and living in brotherhood instead of fighting each other individually, within marriages and relationships, between cultures and nations, religions, etc.

     1. Absolute gold, just as Rachel shares, full of humour and light.

197. Thank you for writing this so honestly. This is a true gem!

198. I can relate to this feeling of coming home too since being inspired by Serge and Universal Medicine. Thank you for sharing your story.

199. Thank you for such a down to earth blog. I love your term ‘no-one cares a jot’. It is very freeing when we are honoured in our own choices instead of judged.

200. Thank you for sharing so candidly your experiences. A powerful testament to the truth.

201. Loved this blog Anonymous, and while you’ve said you don’t have any grand story to tell about Serge Benhayon or Universal Medicine having changed your life… I think your blog is pretty grand in itself! and I have to share that I had a giggle at the thought of wearing retro prairie bonnets and having a hollywood celebrity jumping on a couch, hehe! what an image. Thanks for sharing with such honesty Anonymous, a splendid blog!

202. wow, you should be a journalist and have your own blog, i just love the way you write. The amount of humor and how you relate to life, very inspiring. True authority and this is what we need in the world. Thank you.

203. Wow… The way this is written is great, very raw and real, with the strength of you.

204. Your story touched me deeply. Thank you. Very inspiring too.

205. A powerful sharing, thank you.

206. Written exactly how it is. Thank you deeply for sharing this, and it is truly a relief to have a session from someone like Natalie Benhayon or Michael Benhayon who never make you feel like there is something wrong with you.

207. So delightful!

208. A stunning sharing – I second this “SERGE BENHAYON AIN’T NO GURU – CULT OR OTHERWISE!” Thanks for spelling it out so clearly.

209. Anonymous.
     Thank you for sharing the truth about Serge Benhayon and setting the record straight.
     I can feel your warmth and sweetness and am inspired by your choices to make changes in your life. And as far as I can tell you certainly do have a ‘grand story’ and that is you.

210. I love the matter- of- fact way you tell this, and what stands out for me is your recognition and confirmation of your self when met by the lawyer and the receptionist.

211. This is a grand story about you being you and finding yourself. A great story of self discovery and healing in humbleness. .

212. Anonymous you have absolutely nailed all of the lies that are flying around about Universal Medicine in this honest account of how it is for you. You are so real and warm. You tell it like it is. Thank you.

     1. May I second Kate..and say thank you Anonymous for telling your story like it is – no frills, just plain speak. As you say, the “lifestyle, attitudes, beliefs and values” that Serge presents are “ones that I have held for many, many years, even well before” Serge Benhayon had his re-awakening. As it was for many of us, we did not radically change anything in our lives after meeting Serge, just made a few tweaks here and there while realising that we were not the ‘abnormal ones’. . .which up until that point we had often been made to feel.

     2. That’s right Kate. I love this blog for how much it exposes. The amazing clarity and truth expressed is very powerful. Such an awesome blog.

213. Thank you Anonymous for such a clear setting the record straight blog.

214. A powerful, straightforward stating of facts. Thank you.

215. Anonymous, lovely woman, it’s so great that you chose to share your story with us in such a down-to-earth way. And that you recognized ‘home’ when you felt it – just plain amazing human love, acceptance, honesty and kindness.

     1. The blog is a blessing, and far from being a mundane account its a very powerful piece, precisely because it shows you personal account of how you have stepped out of abuse, and the support you have found in that from Universal Medicine.

     2. Absolutely Dianne, what Serge Benhayon presents is so normal and natural to what the body is feeling.

216. This blog is proof that in the centre of our being we know when we are truly met and loved for who we are. The beautiful thing about what is being said here is that Serge Benhayon has stood up for his own connection to his essence and felt it so strongly he has been willing to speak openly about what he is living everyday. I appreciate that so much, for I too have felt this connection, messages from my body and rhythm that supports me but allowed myself to be shutdown because it didn’t fit with so much that was happening in the around me. Thank you ‘anonymous’ for bringing more clarity to my experience.

217. Thank you Anonymous for sharing your life journey and your awakening through Universal Medicine.

218. This article is nothing but the truth, I can attest to every word.

219. Home is where the heart is …

220. This is a real grand story with such depth of honesty considering what you have been through Anonymous.
     What really stood out for me is that you shared how out of 20 women with domestic violence only one reported it to the police. This is huge and cannot be dismissed. Imagine how much violence is still going on behind closed doors, which does not get reported and so the statistics are not accurate.
     This blog offers another way and a healing for anyone who is willing to read it over and over again as so much is being presented.

     1. I agree with Bina, this is a really amazing story, filled with such honesty. Thank you for sharing what can be a very hidden topic and one that is rarely spoken of.

221. Thank you for bringing such a deeply honest and real perspective. I love how you’ve expressed about your experiences – very inspiring; brought a tear to my eye…

222. Thank you so much for writing this. You have my count!

223. I was going to write that I had never had personal experience of domestic violence or known anyone who has, but when you share “If you met me or met him you would have no idea that our private life was like this. He is charming and delightful in public and can be that way in private, too. I am actually making it in the world – I am accomplished (according to all the usual social standards), I laugh a lot. I am warm and friendly. You would not put me in a basket of ‘battered wife’.”- it makes me stop and wonder. Thank you for sharing this with us, maybe one day you will write an update…

224. Thank you for sharing your experience of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and showing that what is being said by a few about Serge breaking up marriages, etc.. is simply not and in no way true.

225. Thank you for an honest raw and heartfelt blog, there is so much in here that we can all learn from and be inspired by. Your experience of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon is very honest and I could relate to everything you said and is a far cry from the lies certain individuals and the media are trying to portray. This sentence made me stop and feel……..”But I tell you what: after two surgeries, one extremely painful, both extraordinarily emotionally confronting, to repair damage from my ‘marital relations’, I darn well wish that someone had told my husband about making love, and that it was ok for me to insist he have my permission to touch me.” If we knew and claimed this as women we would no longer give our power away and endure physical and psychological abuse. To have to have surgery to repair the damage to your body from ‘marital relations’ shows how far we have as women allowed abuse into our lives.

226. I know this ‘coming home feeling’ too, it was unmistakable from the moment I first met Serge. I love your blog and how you are so very real with how you feel and your experiences. It’s like you are saying, ‘what’s all the fuss about? I’ve come home.’ – like it’s the most natural thing in the world – and that’s because it is!

227. This is a prime example of the no nonsense attitude within Universal Medicine. What you see is what you get. Serge Benhayon is there for everyone and never holds back. The ‘feeling’ you get like coming home, is beautiful – it’s steady, uncomplicated and holding. Once you have felt this it is very clear what is not this. To have endured the atrocities of abuse for a long time is horrible, yet now you know what you feel is true, it cannot be manipulated and you will not go there again.

228. Whoever wrote this, has come into their true selves and true strength.
     This is an amazing article that shares the responsibility we have as individuals to speak up when something is not OK, and how Universal Medicine does not change lives – it simply presents another way, and the choice is that of the recipients.

     I feel there are too many people who are abused in some way, even just in the way they are spoken down to – and we don’t call it out. We let it pass. I know because I’ve been a victim to that and it seems normal. But since understanding my true worth, I’m starting to be much more sensitive to what doesn’t feel OK – and this goes for how I treat myself and how others treat me – it is a 2 way street, but my responsibility to change it.

     Thank you for this loving article.

229. Thank you for a really powerful, down-to-earth, deeply honest account of your family relationships and connection with UniMed. You have really shown courage here in standing up for yourself, leaving an abusive relationship, and being able to express your experience in a way that can empower other women in the same situation you were in. When you recounted the following interaction with Serge Benhayon “So last Saturday, when just by chance we ended up standing near each other and he asked me my name, I told him and reached in to embrace him and said “I just want to hold you””, it made me cry. It was just so beautiful and such a genuinely caring moment to do that.

230. Amazing in all that has been shared and is felt here and an inspiration for others, confirming we do always know inside what is True for us. Thank you for your openness and honesty. Beautiful.

231. What a powerfully witty, open and frank blog. This story is an example of the stark reality of what is going on everywhere in society in real people’s lives. It also illustrates the healing power of being truly supported, not judged, not dictated to, not told what to do, just being seen and held and loved and supported. This is the wonderful community service that Universal Medicine exists to provide.

232. I disagree with you anonymous – this story is grand! – but it’s a grand story about you; honest and open and shares your wisdom that you already knew from inside of you.

233. What a beautiful homecoming. Thank you so much for sharing.

234. I too feel your strength and so appreciate you sharing your story. Thank you anonymous.

235. Great blog anonymous, what comes across in your writing is how strong you are and I am sure this will be an inspiration for others who are in a similar situation, to find the same strength within themselves. Very inspiring, thank you.

236. Wow Ariana those statistics are shocking, it is so true that it is not one person’s problem but the whole of humanity’s.

237. Dear Anonymous, thank for opening up with such courage. You are an inspiration.

238. Anonymous. Thank you for sharing and opening your heart and soul, to the abuse you suffered. Your blog is an inspiration to other people who may be suffering the same thing.

239. This is a very inspiring blog – simple, truthful and straight to the point from your own lived experience. Standing up to speak the truth about Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine in this way is appreciated.

240. Thanks for sharing – it was lovely to hear of your experience and the reality of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. A very clear and down to earth and honest account. It also exposes how ‘things are not always what they seem’ in many marriages – where on the outside all seems rosy but inside tells a different story!

241. Thank you for sharing, it is an amazing blog!

242. I love how you have “come home” to yourself through your own lived experience, and how it all started before you met Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, and you continued to be totally responsible for yourself in your responses to what is presented. You make it clear how normal and ordinary it is, so natural, and so true – not some way out idealism, and very clear about the fact there is no “seduction”. I love your courage to speak out so that others can be supported in their own similar processes.

243. Thank you for your deep and truthfull account here of what has been going on for you and the real facts about Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
     It takes courage to speak in the way you do and I know writing this must have brought you peace on the inside, that you have ‘said it as it is’ and the world can read the Truth from your experience.

244. There is so much in your experience that I can relate to – almost ‘spooky’. Thank you very much for this honest sharing.

245. What a beautifully honest and inspiring post.

     1. Your story touched me deeply. Your strength, your beauty and divinty shined through all your words! Thank you for sharing.

246. What a beautifully honest and inspiring post. Thank you for sharing.

247. Thank you for your commitment to yourself and the sharing of this with us through your blog, it is stunning and grand…

248. I love this blog! You write with such honesty, truth and clarity. I feel humbled by your amazing expression and the powerful healing you bring with your words. Thank You.

249. Thank you for sharing your story. I loved reading your blog.

250. I was completely touched in so many ways by your article. Your honesty and bravery in expressing this is powerful, does not matter at all that you remain anonymous. You express so clearly the cycle of abuse and how manipulated we can become to believe what we feel is wrong. This takes place in life on many levels, yours more extreme than most.
     When you expressed about the surgery you have had, I was so deeply touched, by your courage to express this but also by the level of self-responsibility I can feel in how it is said. You are a credit to yourself – with your strength and love and ability to move on from this.
     All of this in stark contrast, as you have expressed, to your experience of Universal Medicine. This is my experience also. Thank you.

251. This is a great reminder that the marital abuse isn’t always violent – the subtle brainwashing of living with someone who convinces you their opinion is always right can be very demeaning and seriously reduces confidence in oneself and ones ability to make decisions. Being met as an equal by everyone is our absolute right. Your honesty in this story is inspiring, thank you.

252. Your story is so very grand… thank you for sharing.
     I found myself relating to quite a bit of it… to once feeling the need to run things by a partner because of the subtle belittling that I had allowed on some level to happen and the questioning of myself when I knew deep down that is not the way it happened.
     The more, Love is lived the more I am seeing what is actually abuse, even if it is not as extreme as what may be on the news but still anything less than love, than care, than tenderness, than complete consideration and all the true ways to be with another human being… is infact abuse. And we deserve, ALL of Us a whole lot more than what we actually accept as a society.

253. Hehe – cute retro prairie bonnets! Love it! LOL

254. An amazing story of someone coming home, thank you.

255. Thank you for sharing your story. I was particularly struck by how you described the brainwashing and intimidation of your husband. I remember as a young child on many occasions telling my father something (true) and him telling me – no, you are lying, or saying no it was not like that when it was. Throughout my life people have told me what I should think and feel and I even do that to myself. Brainwashing as you describe it is permeated throughout society in so many more ways than we realise. The one place I have never experienced it is at Universal Medicine.

256. You may not have put your name out there, but you certainly have put you heart out there and shown how beautiful a woman can be in the most desperately trying of situations.
     The way you were drawn to find true and loving support for yourself, as you left your marriage, shows there is way more going on in this world that what we can see with our eyes. What you have shared shows that remaining true to yourself and living with love and integrity has been the way for you and so you “happened’ to find a lawyer who truly saw ‘you’ who just ‘happened’ to be associated with Universal Medicine. There’s no mistake in that!

257. Thanks for sharing this, I love how you always saw the true man buried under the abusive husband, that speaks volumes about you and your sense of humanity,
     Welcome! I don’t care a jot if your choices are perfect or not, mine aren’t, we are always learning.

258. Great article!

259. I love your openness and honesty. Thank you so much for sharing. I know what it is like to be brain-washed by a charismatic man and to think that you are the one that is wrong. How lovely it is to see the real truth, to make decisions for yourself and honor yourself as a woman. Actually, you have already come a long way. Universal Medicine may not have changed your life, but you certainly have… for the better. Unimed didn’t change my life either… I did, but they were and still are supportive of the decisions I make for myself 🙂

     1. Great point Suekira, Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine didn’t change my life either, I did! Without the reflection, teachings, presentations and healing modalities I could not have done what I have however, of that I have no doubt. There are however no rules, no brainwashing, no coercion and most certainly no cult. I ought to know, I have been around for over 15 years now and my life is unrecognisably great compared to before.

260. This is a grand story but as you say, not about Serge but a grand story about you, thank you for sharing. I look forward to standing beside you one day, maybe at an Universal Medicine event, maybe else where as I too would love a hug that is given with so much love with nothing wanted in return.

261. I just loved this blog!

262. Thankyou 🙂 Coming home is awesome!

263. This story is amazing in so many ways, your honesty, and your clarity is so powerful. Thank you for sharing it.
