1. The concept of fearing God is done to disempower us…truly seeing ourselves as an equal is about also claiming the God one is and hence the power ones holds – this of course does not happen overnight but is a clear step by step gradual process of claiming moment by moment: “I now know there is nothing to fear of God as he is a part of me and my equal, he lives within me and treasures me more deeply than I know or choose to treasure myself. I also know that God cannot grant me anything, but rather offers me free will so I can choose to grant myself through my everyday choices.”

2. The unconditional love that we all crave: “One thing I have come to know about God is that he is so patient and he has no need for me to be in any certain way.”

3. Thank you for sharing your relationship with God, ‘ One thing I have come to know about God is that he is so patient and he has no need for me to be in any certain way.’ and that, ‘I now know there is nothing to fear of God as he is a part of me and my equal, he lives within me and treasures me more deeply than I know or choose to treasure myself.’

4. It’s a strong religious belief that humans are lesser, that Jesus was superhuman and could create miracles, and that the power all resides in God. Then there is the judgment of whether we are good or not and what we might be granted. Basically, we see the power as being outside of ourselves instead of seeing human beings as Sons of the same one God, with equal loving power and responsibility for our own lives. We see God as standing over us, not as someone we separated from and can rejoin at any time.

   1. So eloquently shared Melinda and this voluntary dis-empowerment (for that is how I see it to be) is a choice we make to shy away from the responsibility that comes with great power. And yet it takes a lot of force to dis-empower oneself and deny the very core of ones being that holds the power to change the world.

5. Starting with the Gentle Breath Meditation gives us the gift of being able to start to listen to our bodies so we can then deepen our awareness as you have so Lovingly portrayed Tony.

   1. Yes, this is a great place to start, ‘I have taken time to do Gentle Breath Meditations and then, to the best of my ability, lived from this quality.’

      1. And being gentle is simply the start as you have shared Loraine, and adding to what you have shared we are always deepening our movements including the relationship we have with our breath, thus we understand that the relationship we have with breathing gently is a standard we set as our foundation.

6. It’s like, we were having a relationship problem and we didn’t want to see our part in it, and want to blame the other person but they cannot really be faulted, so we start lying about them a little by little, and we need to convince others with the same lie, so it carries on because the lies actually suits most people.

7. The only way to know what is true is to build a relationship with the truth and the most honest marker of that has been my body. It is honest, blunt, unsubtle and consistent!

   1. So True Lucy ask your body and you shall receive but it is up to each of us to understand the message.

   2. I love what you share here Lucy, very to the point and true, our bodies are honest, blunt, unsubtle and consistent.

   3. The body is certainly the marker of truth Lucy and to be honest, because I often don’t like feeling what I am feeling in my body I then seek way to numb myself or to escape what I am feeling. The crazy thing is that this does not allow me to connect and actually heal what is happening as it does the complete opposite. And yet to be with the body and feel, is the bridge to our power, the bridge to our Soul and hence our relationship with truth. Why do we fight it so much?

8. Powerful message. For how we can have forgotten the holy truth that we come from : our universal truth. Love inside needs to be lived first and foremost. For without we miss the whole picture of where we truly come from.

9. If what we learn about God is sin-ister, we are not really learning anything true about Him (and us).

10. The only person that punishes us for our sins, is ourselves with the stick that we carry round always at the ready! The Universe reflects back the choices that we make no question, and God has permanently open arms for whenever we are ready to return… never any judgement.

11. You are very right – for we are already everything that God is, this is the greatest blessing of all.

12. Great blog Tony, and may I add the three ”Rs” responsibility, reincarnation and respond and not react, maybe that is four Rs?

13. The experience of God is one that is deeply personal and one that stems from our inner connection and one that does not require a belief. I was out walking recently and could feel God around me, holding me like I have never felt before. His holding never changes, constant, warm and very loving. Its us that needs to allow this so that we can feel everything that God is and everything that we are.

14. Catholicism is all about you accepting something about you and about God that is not true.

15. Our personal and intimate relationship with God is essential to undo the impersonal imposed picture of God and oneself. This exposes how much institutionalised religion and beliefs we take on can actually take us away from the very natural knowing of our divine origin and beingness.

    1. It can all be felt inside us….

    2. Yes, it takes an intimate relationship to expose an impersonal one.

16. How much have we been lied to about religion, and in fact how much have we chosen to listen to those lies … for the idea that someone has to die to atone for our sins is one of the greatest lies of all, and it keeps us as children and forever chasing a perfection that is not possible while ignoring the truth of the fact we are of God … the other side of this is responsible, how willing are we to be responsible and live knowing we are of God and that how we are matters for all of us. So yes we’ve been lied to about religion but for many of us for a long time that has been a suitable truth and a comfort to avoid the knowing and the responsibility that we are of God, and we are to live that Godliness in all aspects of life. This is what the Way of the Livingness has opened my eyes to, and this is how I now choose to live.

    1. It’s a lie that we are convinced is the truth. We even convince ourselves that of the violence and war in the name of God is because of religion. That’s one of the biggest lies. The sad thing here is that we know religion because we are religion. How far we have walked.

17. One of the things that is highlighted here is that our choices in life are our responsibility….all of them. God provides the field that we walk in and we do the rest. Its hard to see our choices over time, come back for us to see and work through. But the aim is not punitive, but for us to heal, let go and evolve – that’s it.

18. Beautiful blog Tony for when we commit to living from our inner most without perfection – just as much as we can, our understanding and clarity of the world around us is so much clearer and joyful.

19. Now that you say it me too Doug, particularly when so many people in this world today consider themselves religious.

20. If we keep refusing to see the unwavering offering of love and to take responsibility for our own choices, sure, some of the things in life may seem like punishment and we think God is to blame, but it is very possible that they are actually helping us clear the what is not that we have been accumulating over time, so that we can return to be the glory that we are.

21. God is love, he never asks us to be anything other than the love that we are, and through that love we know God.

    1. Keeps it really simple, just being the love that we naturally are.

22. When we consider the impact of the many ‘stories’ we are told, it’s no wonder we are in a state of complete disarray as a society. The concept of being born a sinner basically gives us the worst start to life ever possible. A complete lie designed to keep us from shining the absolute truth of who we are. And as we have all witnessed, this evil trick works….but only for so long, because light is light and it’s impossible for it to not shine through…so by hook or by crook, the light (truth) always comes to correct the darkness.

23. I considered myself atheist while growing up. Never really following a particular religion. But in the last few years I have come to learn how joyfull life can be having true religion in my everyday.

    1. Me too Leigh! I feel so blessed to have been re-introduced to my relationship with Love, with God, with Truth, Joy, Stillness – the list goes on. I feel that through The Way of The Livingness I have rediscovered a relationship that I had walked away from many moons ago.

24. Honouring your own feelings by taking the time to listen and reflect upon them offers a new way of daily life that will never be the same as it was.

25. The magic of God is that He is love and always has been and is this same unbounded love that is equally in every one of us calling us all to be that love that we too naturally are.

26. There are many stories about God in this world however the true register of God is known through our connection to our inner-heart, where our Soulful light is no less than the light of God, and the beautiful thing is that in knowing God we know who we are. As we are in fact inseparable.

27. My truth experiences of God, being with God, have no words, it is a way of being, a quality, a knowing, this is something no one can give me, tell me, instruct me on….it is equally for all to be with and it is something that I have been honouring and developing because it feels like home.

28. The key understanding for me with my relationship with God is that the depth of it is felt and confirmed in my body and not in the thoughts of my mind.

29. The devastating lies we are fed, as truths by ‘people in power’ in religious circles is that there was only ONE son of God. Once this foundational lie is received and believed then we are open to the many more lies and beliefs that come with mainstream/institutionalised religions that form a way of life that is forever trying to appease and seek forgiveness from God. Not the true life of the Sons of God we all innately are.

    1. Well said Rachael Evans – we are all here to live the love of God that we are. Through living in connection to our Soulful light, we realise that we are the ones that we are looking for, as it is each and every one of us that are responsible for the resurrection of Christ.

30. So much is implied and assumed around who and what God is, and I recall so many impressions I received as a child growing up, most revolved around an ‘almighty being’ somewhere up in the sky who saw everything and had a long flowing grey beard. There was a lot of fear of condemnation but this just didn’t make sense to me if God was in fact love, which he supposedly was. These impressions and their ridiculousness led me to turn away from any sort of religion… until I met Serge Benhayon. From that point, although I didn’t realise it initially,

31. Reading this I realise that what I also learned about God and religion in my younger years, which was virtually identical to what is shared here, is about control. Controlling behaviour and dampening down our very natural expression which is love and not sin or evil at all. The myth that we are born of sin is completely the opposite to how we are when we are born. We only need to look at the natural joy and beauty of a small child to see our truth.

    1. So true Jennifer – who can look at a baby and say they are naturally born bad or a sinner that God is ashamed of? We are Heavenly from the day we are born to the day we die, no matter how much we try to deny or hide the fact.

32. I agree what you say in the comment above Ray, it is almost as if the world is upside down on many things, that the truth is no longer being presented, and what is presented makes no sense at all, you give a great example of this in relation to our understanding of God.

33. We are all naturally love, and I welcome the day when we all live that love in full, ‘the fact that I am Love, and no matter what I do, I am still naturally Love.’

34. A great simple article that tells us so much, “So much of what I learnt about God when I was young was not just wrong, but the complete opposite of what I now know to be true.” This is my experience of life so far and often find myself seeing things now in the almost opposite way I saw them before. It is honestly as though the world is upside down on many things, deliberately so. God is a great example, made out and continued to be made out as something that is actually the opposite of what is being said. Instead of this one thing that is all knowing and condemning the very fact of him being all encompassing and loving doesn’t strike anyone as being a little strange that current religions are contradicting themselves? The way religion was given to me when I was younger was super confusing, it just didn’t make any sense. It’s not that people were bad at explaining it and in fact when they tried to explain it it became more confusing to the point they had confused themselves. As a child you were shut down constantly from exposing this confusion, after all you were only a child. As you grew it still didn’t make sense but you just let it be and did the nice thing and not said anything or you pushed against it, either way nothing changed. What has changed now is the way I live with God, bringing a deeper and deeper understanding of who he is and what religion truly is. It’s not something I explain to anyone but something I breath and live. That way God and religion are walking with me and at the fingertips of everything I do. They were never meant to be taught to us, they were always something for us to live, it’s the whole basis of the true teaching.

    1. I agree that “one day they will be exposed as totally ridiculous” but I would say that ‘they’ aren’t even real. Most people I meet carry the same confusion I did and it’s not that they believe or don’t believe it’s just they have never taken the time to bring awareness to the fact of what is being said here. That is part of my living religion, to allow and dedicate to allowing my body to settle and then from there actually making my next step into something I am fully aware of. That awareness may expand from that point but at that point it is everything I see in my step. What I see is that most of us aren’t taking the time to see our steps, to live present to what we are feeling in each moment and in this whatever you step to is chosen for you and so when it comes to religion, it’s not owned by the Catholics or Muslims or anything like that, it is simply not truly chosen by us and hence allowed to be anything, and our point sees it all in fact upside down. Take steps to make your steps truly your steps and in that living dedication the world becomes clearer. Not from anything but the fact you are clearer.

35. If I am love and or seeking it , I am a part of a source of love that knows this.

36. In a way it is sad to see that it seems that nowhere we can find the truth to life, as is shared in this blog, not at home, school or in church where you at least expect the truth of life to be.

37. Any punishment metered out comes from any and every source but God. I know this is true because it all comes with lovelessness, guilt, shame, judgment and more. The real point is we buy into this imposition and further disconnect to God. Being aware of this outplay makes all the difference the world to my relationship with God.

38. It has never made any sense to me why God ‘sacrificing his only Son’ would teach ‘us’ about love? It’s a strange concept that is somehow supposed to represent an all-loving God. That we are all Sons of God, and are therefore equally loved by God is a starting point that does make sense however.

39. Why has God been so falsely portrayed by so many popular religions? We have been sold a lie as many religions did this to control the masses through fear and manipulation. Knowing the truth of God now is miles away from what my religion originally taught me, thankfully I have been blessed with The Way of the Livingness – a true religion in every way.

40. The way we have allowed God to be bastardized into someone who is outside of us and with that that we are less than him, sinners even, does actually not make sense to me now I know and have felt that God is within me as he is equally in all of us. With this bastardization we have allowed a way of living where we actually do not have to take any responsibility as we are sinners and therefor do not know any better. Do you see, how such a devision in thoughts can have its repercussion not only in our body and being, but also in our societies at a grander scale.

41. To allow ourselves to have a relationship with ourselves and God and everybody and everything else that is open, equal and loving is heart warming and expanding and something we all deserve.

42. Returning to that inner essence in which we can find our Soul, that direct connection to God is so empowering for our being, as with that we have chosen to walk the path of return to who we truly are, to live the godliness we are in our humanly bodies here on earth.

43. The evil of Catholicism is apparent in the belief that we are all sinners. The evil in other, seemingly more ‘generous’ Christian denominations is that God is something that exists outside of us and that Jesus was his only son. All these concepts keep us in ignorance of our divine nature.

44. The fact that almost everything this world presents to us is not naturally in line with what we know to be true within us and in our body is a testament to the fact of how upside down we have made this world to be. That is, making it all about everything that is not love.

    1. Indeed Joshua, there is a lot of work to do as everything that is not love has to be made love again and with that we can not let any stone unturned. One day we will all come to this understanding and will work together as one on bringing back love in our societies once again. Until that time, people who have come to this understanding already, like you and me, will work jointly together to make society aware of the work that has to be done, and with that to reawaken that inner spark that we all hold and effectively is our way back from the waywardness we are in as a society.

45. Indeed Jenny, it is such a relief to know that God is already within and can be connected with just through our bodies. This makes clear to me how false the lies that are given to us by the institutionalized religions are.

    1. Exactly Nico, and interesting to consider this from the perspective of ‘controlling the masses’…. something that’s easy to do if you disempower them to begin with. If we do not hold ourselves equal to God, or at the very least ‘Sons of God’, then we won’t even consider what it might mean to be connected with Him in such a personal and ‘internal’ way as you describe. It makes God very real and accessible, not some ‘almighty’ being in the sky for whom we must atone ourselves to even be worthy of sitting at his feet.

       1. Sure Jenny, and that is our truth, that God is very real and Accessible and we have allowed that truth to be robbed from us in return for having an experience of how a life in creation is instead of the be in a life of co-creation, where God is an equal part of us all.

       2. So true, I would never have thought that denying the real-ness of God was part of holding onto life as a very 3-dimensional experience but it is spot on. Once God is real and accessible, life has meaning so far beyond anything physical, and brings into focus the fact we are from God, for how can we not be, if we can feel and access Him from within us.

46. God is always there to reflect his love to us and with that constantly telling us that we are all equally to him. Whatever we do, doing the ‘good’ or the ‘bad’, will not change any in God, as he has given us free will to experiment with, knowingly that one day we all will return to his love as it is our natural origin and this can only happen when we are constantly kept and behold in his love, as it is this constant reflection that eventually will pull us out the shadows we have chosen to live in.

47. How can an all loving God have an once of punishment in him and what has created the belief that we are all irresponsible sinners who will go to hell if we do not toe the proverbial line? As we can all learn that there is a responsibility for what is happening in our life and that a loving choice is what we can all connect to and thus with God. This can make the difference in every areas of our life and even after death. Today while speaking about how amazing a wedding celebration was and the vitality and love that was simply undeniable, and this level of deep connectedness was confirming of the way God can be felt. God is love, death cannot be feared as the fear mongering teachings that we will go to hell describe.

48. I find it interesting that as a child attending a baptist chapel regularly that I cannot remember a single word the minister in the pulpit said. I chose to completely shut myself down in order to protect myself and over the last few years as I have attended funerals and weddings I have had some understanding as to why. Whenever I heard the words that Jesus was sent from God to save me I allowed myself to feel them and the impact they had on my body. Did the words support me or did they make me feel that I had done wrong and was a bad person? There is no doubt it is the latter I felt which I was able to feel because of the support from Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.

49. Such a simple beauty to the understanding and experience of God here… that is inspiring. Unlike the doctrines and dictates of the multitude of organised religions and their view of a God Almighty who is ‘out there’ somewhere lording it over us mere mortals. To know Him by the way He feels within the body and in our expression of that same quality makes God very, very accessible and real thank you.

50. God is in fact within us and any religion that tells me that God is someone outside of me proves to me to be not true.

51. To get to know God is to get to know ourselves and this we can do, as you did, by building an intimate relationship with ourselves.

52. What a beautiful sharing of your knowing of God that we all know inside us thank you The true evil that we are taught that God punishes us judges us and that we are bad and sinners needs to be exposed and it is Serge Benhayon that is opening the way for us to live the truth by his honest reflection ,inspiration and integrity with the way he lives showing us we are all love and that is the simplicity of true religion.

53. One of the greatest evils on this earth is the teaching that God is judgmental.

54. The traditional religious pictures of God that I grew up with had him as this all-powerful being who sat on high and punishes us for our sins. It’s hard to develop a relationship with this God – where to start? And yet now I do have a relationship with God that is forever unfolding and deepening in line with the relationship I have with myself. God is within me and all around. He sends me messages via my body, through nature, through events, situations, other people……… God has been sending me messages all my lives but not reacting and withdrawing when I didn’t respond for so many eons. But now I can see them, feel them and appreciate them and support that is being offered to me every moment of every day by God.

    1. Indeed Lucy, when we live from this understanding, that God is within and in everything around us makes life in fact already heaven on earth.

55. How gorgeous that through choosing to build and embrace the intimate relationship you are with yourself, you are able to feel what you now do. The power of honouring and listening to your body cannot be denied…. and is not only a blessing for yourself but also for all who meet you in this connection.

56. One of the most beautiful qualities of God is that he sees what a mess we have made down here on earth and regardless continues to hold us in the grace of his love and the grace of our potential as we learn from our imperfections and lessons that our everyday life blesses us with.

57. The story that God had only one son is not just ridiculous but a great way to build and maintain a seeming relationship with Him that is false, and which does not honour us or Him.

58. An “intimate relationship with myself and God – for me there is no blessing greater.” – how true this is. What is not given to you in that relationship to self and that true relationship to God? To know ourselves and the source that we come from is a true blessing. From that foundation we have so much to offer to humanity, because we are coming from a true connection.

59. We all are held in God’s love whether we do bad or evil or good and benevolence and in that cannot be judged to be sinners but as his children who are wielding free will until they find out where they truly belong.

60. Yes, how it is so important to build our own understanding, lived experience, and feeling yourself what is true in regards to religion. Coming from a stem cell within our body, not our mind. I am very curious what connections and religion then will come up in every single body, I am unsure that it will be much more greater than we ever realized. We seed our power forth in knowing who we are.

61. God is love and resides within in us all equally simple and true.

62. What a beautiful understanding of god.

63. We are from God and he will always be there if we choose to connect to him. There is no punishment or right or wrong, God is love and unwavering so, as it was only through our free will that made us deviate from our true origin. And this same free will shall bring us back to our true nature, to God, to where we belong.

64. Yes, it is the sharing of the personal experience that makes God real.

65. “God simply just keeps emanating his Love so that when I am ready I can also choose to emanate that same Love.” How simple. How true. How powerful.

66. It is really wicked to tell someone that what they innately know and feel in their hearts is wrong. I remember being told that I had sinned seven times seven before I even knew it. How am I supposed to be able to take responsibility for anything if I have done these things without even knowing? This is true evil. To try to take away someone’s true knowing, to set them adrift in the world like that is awful. The God I know is love. The God I know I am a part of. I live as a spark of God. This is something that I am begining to know again because of the teachings of Serge Benhayon. Serge has not told me what I want to hear, but what he has said has resonated in my heart and has brought me back to what I innately know.

67. “I have taken time to listen to my body, so when it is tired I rest rather than listen to my mind, which may tell me I need to keep going.” And the choice to override our bodies is what leads to illness and disease.

68. How can we have got Religion so very wrong – when God is innately and equally within every one of us, waiting for us to re-connect, to re-turn to the Love we naturally are.

69. To experience true religion as a coming home to self and our own inner divinity is a revelation and very opposite to what I was taught. The way of religion and godliness I grew up with felt forced, unnatural, imposing, judgemental. In my experience this did little to change the ways and behaviours of those who attended church regularly. I was never inspired me to go deeper or want to find out more. Through Universal Medicine teaches, this is changing for me, and I’m learning to go beyond talking, surrender and connect to my one divinity.

70. God is love and this love is unconditional and provides us with free will to make our own choices in our lives, to experiment with it, but ultimately I feel, I will return in full to the love I belong because the love that lives within is so strong and will never extinguish. That to me is true love, the relationship we all have with God our father.

71. What about this as a game changing way of learning about God… encourage the adventure, teach people that what they feel is super important and then let them come to their own relationship with Him. Always supporting, but never telling just like God himself!

72. Thank you for putting it so simply. What a clever way to take us away from the love of God that we live within and lives inside our every cell. Creating separation at an early level through education of fear.

73. It is so sinister how so many people have been taught to fear God, to blame him for our choices and the state of the world. God is all loving and consistently emanating love without judgement, so the fear of God is not real but an illusion to disconnect us from Him, to distract us from truth and suppress us to live a lesser way of life constantly governed by fear. Love dissolves fear, when we connect to love, fear cannot exist.

74. The false image of God which so many people think, is making us do the total opposite than what the truth God presents to us, God is love, and we come from love too. So all that there is about God is giving us the space to come back to this love we are innately so. It is a total opposite to the main religious views, but I have come to find trough feeling for myself that this is the truth.

75. “So much of what I learnt about God when I was young was not just wrong, but the complete opposite of what I now know to be true. How can this be, that from three different sources I was taught the same mis-truths?” Yes so interesting that so many of us have been taught the complete opposite of what God is. Huge appreciation to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine for presenting the truth – which resonated with me so deeply- that I now do know the truth about God.

76. Of the two versions of God you describe, it’s the one you have discovered for yourself that feels true, real and above all, loving. Who does it serve to represent God as judge and punisher, meeting out conditional love?

77. How shocking to have been taught that you are a sinner from such an early age. When in truth God does not judge us, he is equally there for us all. If we choose to love ourselves and God, there is a connection that becomes deeper as our relationship with God unfolds.

78. Not only are we taught false ideas about God from our current mainstream religions, we are also taught false ideas about God in the way our societies are designed, most of our businesses work, in the way we construct houses etc. Everywhere where life is not firstly about people and love we get a false reflection of God.

79. I love your point about why does God need to give us what we want when he has graced us with the space of free will.

    We have the ability to choose what we will have in our lives in every single moment.

80. We connect to God through our bodies, our way of life and our Love within our hearts. He favours no one over any other, but I feel he is more accessible for those who have made the choice to live His Love and not hold it back.

81. I appreciate how you have expressed in the paragraph on Love, on what you know about the true nature of Love and God … that no matter what ‘terrible’ things we perceive ourselves as having done, that still ” … God’s Love lives inside me and impulses me to be who I naturally am.” … there’s no getting away from that fact!

82. I was taught the same thing Judy, and it always puzzled me as to why a God of Love would want to punish anyone and / or send them to hell. It didn’t seem to match up to what I innately felt God to be and yet it took me many decades to finally connect to the truth about God and to begin developing a relationship with God that is first based on developing a relationship with myself.

83. Singing hymns like “I Am Not Worthy” in church growing up confused me. I innately felt very grand, even magnificent and always felt a deep connection with nature, sensing that somehow there was a commonality between myself and nature. And so being told over and over in sermons that I was born unworthy was ridiculous. I think it’s funny now that I just couldn’t be told otherwise! That sense deep inside me, in fact inside every one of us, needs to be listened to in favour of what we are told or taught. There seems to be an innate wisdom inside us right from the start. This is God for me.

84. What a difference it would make if we grow up from the word go knowing and being kept confirmed that we are a Son of God and we are love by nature, instead of believing that we are a sinner and have to work very hard to be good? I feel very much blessed to encounter Universal Medicine who presents this fundamental Truth and makes a very practical, simple, everyday sense of it, so that now I make my own choices from the place of my own connection to God.

85. These false experiences and learnings about God are very similar to mine growing up. Today I too am grateful to Serge Benhayon for showing all of us that God’s love is within us all equally, patiently waiting to be connected to.

86. God is Love (as are we). There is no love in ‘good and bad’, punishment and fear.

87. “What I now know is that I am naturally Love and that God’s Love lives inside me and impulses me to be who I naturally am. ” this makes so much more sense then being taught that we are all born sinners- that just sounds horrible and ridiculous. Some religions are very misleading about our divine awesomeness.

88. Beautiful that no matter for how long we are distracted by the false ideas about God, the truth remains inside of our bodies and awaits us. Always.

89. Such a beautiful and honest blog, it shows how we are learned that we are less from a young age, but when we truly connect we feel that we are amazing and have this great power of god within us, god is walking besides us, not telling what to do but just allowing us to feel we are equal.

90. I believe that we are all sons of God, as you have said we have him inside us and I can feel him all around me at times.. when I am connected with myself and living in a loving way I can feel God and it’s as simple as that.

91. Wow Kate I agree I also learned that God will send us a “saviour” who will rescue us – and this is why I was so angry about him – that he never sent one. That was the reason why I started to think there must be something else because God would never lie. So I agree again it is a convenient way to stay in this subtle trap and wait and choose to not take the responsibility for our own choices.

92. It’s really huge in society that God does favours for you if you favour God, and that his ways are mysterious so we don’t know why anything happens so we get to blame God for everything! I never understood this either, but even though I didn’t attend institutionalised religious gatherings, these types of harmful beliefs still pervade society and affected me. I really also dislike how they are the experts on God (priests, etc.) when to me a little joyous innocent baby is the one that seems closest to God. I really love this blog, it’s very supportive and confirming.

    1. You are right Melinda, many of our institutions are based on the same false beliefs about God and our society is suffering because of it.

93. Thank you for sharing your relationship with God and with yourself, it was a pleasure to read.

94. I enjoyed reading here how you have regained a relationship with yourself, and through this have found that god is within you.

95. I also was brought up with these not only false but utterly harming notions of God and as much as they may have affected me they never made any sense to me. I always knew that God is love, it only took some support to get the hindrances out of the way to re-connect to this truth and start living in the awareness of it. The Benhayons and Universal Medicine offer the reflection of this immutable truth so that is seen and felt as a living truth to be inspired and also live by. That is the way of the livingness.

96. “I was taught to fear God…” So was I. Although I stopped fearing God a long time ago, when I read this sentence there was a reminder of how could we possibly teach our children to fear something we are all part of. It would be like being fearful of our lungs, our kidneys and our heart – impossible!

97. ‘God can’t grant us anything but offers us all free will’ – the ultimate responsibility lies with us – thank you for this reminder Kate. And now you too are inspiring others to build this intimate relationship with themselves and God – as I am one of them – thank you!

98. So beautiful!
