I have no super-amazing story of Serge Benhayon saving me from my pain or my discomfort in life, but rather a simple one of me realising in myself that what he presents is truth. This was not because I had to believe it or try to live a life by idolising the way he lives his, but rather because I could actually feel deep within me that what he said was also a truth for me. This was because I could really experience it for myself by feeling it within me too.
Long before I came across the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine (through hearing about it from my parents), I was living a heavy emotional life – full of stress, anger, frustration, the odd spurt of happiness (which never really lasted), and the odd combination of other emotions from time to time. This, for me, was my experience of ‘feeling’ things. To me, at this time, a feeling was an emotion.
At this stage of my life I was also heavily embedded in the Catholic faith. Despite many obvious inconsistencies with the belief system of this religion, I continued being a devoted Catholic who always tried to get to church every Sunday.
When I first heard the name, Serge Benhayon, it was on my parents’ audio system about 4 years ago. My first thought was “man, my parents are going insane, first playing this weird music from Chris James and now listening to this!” This thought was confirmed when I first went to a workshop of Chris James’ with my parents where I was told to ‘feel the music’. Chris would then ask everyone how they felt about it, and most would respond and say that it was lovely, or gentle, or they could feel it in their lungs or something to that effect. What?! To me a ‘feeling’ was an ‘emotion’, and an emotion was just that. There was no ‘feeling’ into your organs or ‘feeling’ that it was lovely or gentle. Soft was the best I could do, and Love was something you gave to God or your girlfriend (not that I had one at that stage).
It was not long after that when I realised all of what I was hearing from Serge Benhayon, my parents, and Chris James was actually true. You can feel your body. You can feel love in it… and you certainly can feel much more than emotions. I realised emotions were on the surface. A true feeling in the body was much much deeper. This was a truth for me, not because I heard it from Serge or my parents or Chris, but because I actually experienced it in my own body.
These feelings could actually tell you more than just whether something was true or not. They have a quality to them that enables everyone to be able to know much much more about something than the standard intellectual can fathom. This quality enables us to find out what the quality of energy is behind an action, thought or word. These qualities can be lovelessness or love (prana or fire). When I realised this for myself I realised there was much much more to this world than we currently are allowing ourselves to know. I have come to realise through my own experiences, the fact that children feel much much more than just emotions… in fact to them, they don’t know emotions, only true feelings of love or lovelessness.
Feeling (which, by the way, is something that everyone does every moment of every day – just not realising or honouring of it) into the feelings that I felt as a child of 3 years; “Why is it that? Why not THIS?” was the statement I was asking myself regularly. As a child I felt (as do all children of that age) the energies of life. This meant that I could walk into a house and not have to know the people in it, but I could FEEL THEM. The absurd thing is that, as a child, you DO NOT even THINK of questioning these feelings, you just know that they are true. Young children at this age, for instance, will tell their parents that they feel discomfort in their shoe because there is something in it, like a stone. They do this because at this age they just know by feeling, that that discomfort is not true and need not be there. A child is never taught in any way what is right or wrong: they just know that something like a stone in a shoe is just not right.
YET how is it that even two years past this age the child actually begins to question these feelings to the point that they will actually be prepared to walk around and put up with the discomfort which they just knew two years ago was not right or supposed to be there?
At what point does a child, who will not even think of questioning these natural feelings, actually begin to question them and start living a life of much less sense than that which they had as a wee child?
If everything is energy, then everything (from the smallest bacterium to the stone that is in the child’s shoe) must be because of energy. This means that the loss of the natural way of being of a child can be explained by the science of energies, especially because the child can feel energies and thus will respond to them on a greater level than the contracted human mind can understand.
We all know that a child looks to its parents for guidance and support, but if a child sees the world differently to how the parent thinks it sees the world, is it possible that they may see the things we think are part of ‘good’ parenting differently to how we think they see them?
Could this explain a little bit more of why an innocent child develops into an adult with behaviours that are anything but innocent?
Is it possible, that to a child who has come into the world fresh with true innocence and all they want is LOVE, that ANGER feels like a drop of poison?
Love is therefore not an emotion or some ideal or ultimate form of expression to someone. Love is an energy. If all is energy, then everything must be because of energy. The problem is, science already knows this but chooses to make it a point of study rather than a truth they live in their everyday lives.
If everything is energy, is it possible that there may be two types of energy: love and a lovelessness? If everything in society was founded on the energy of lovelessness, then is it not possible that people lose a foundation or a mark of what true love is because they would have not felt or lived such an energy enough to know the difference? If God is love, then God must be then the energy of love. If we all come from love, then how wayward have we become as a race of beings if the grandness that we are actually from can at best be intellectualised by many, but is never actually lived?
This is all that Serge Benhayon’s teachings are about: bringing the energy of love into our everyday living so we can start to return to living the truth and full grandness we are all equally from. It can be at times very difficult to see that what Serge is presenting is all about the grandness we all truly are, when the teachings do rock the very foundations of lovelessness many have built their lives upon. This can be why Serge’s teachings appear very challenging. Serge is never showing you that you are not love, but rather he is forever teaching about the love we are all truly, from showing each one of us who we are not and therefore helping present a picture of who we truly are.
The Truth about Serge Benhayon 
Its so interesting.. when I was a teenager and all through my 20’s I was the same… no idea what someone meant by feelings unless they mugged me with something spectacular and avoiding emotions and what they might mean like the plague. I had desensitised myself through the early years to protect from this and that… enter Universal Medicine and layer by layer that has been coming off so I am left with this natural, sensitive being that has always been there, but just hiding for a bit. Feeling myself again – priceless.
I always turned away from being asked “how are you feeling” it’s like it was the worse thing anyone could say to me. At times I wouldn’t answer and often felt paralysed by this question. I use to think it was because someone was putting pressure on me but I have realised I didn’t like being asked because I didn’t like what I felt. It was like it was a reminder of something that I had walked away from and being reminded of it was panful and so it was easier to turn away. What is funny about this is that it’s a feeling and so turning away only changes the view, it doesn’t stop the feeling part. I can also see that over the years this is the part that has always supported me, whenever I truly felt something it didn’t seem to have impact of when I turned away.
Josh there is a discernment in your blog about love and lovelessness, and for me a the simplicity is in classing all emotions as lovelessness, this makes very clear the choice of which energy we are connected to and expressing from every day.
If we are love and it’s energy how important is it then to express that love and live in a way that honours and claims the energy of love.
I love the example of the stone in the shoe. Why do we choose to override what we feel and begin to question it’s validity? Why do we push ourselves aside so much, ignore ourselves and create complications for ourselves? We once saw everything so clearly and life was so simple, then we got older, and allowed a different way of being to enter our world. Is it possible we have it wrong and that as children we are at our wisest point in life, and the older we get, the less wise we become?
Every time I see young child I instantly feel how love is who we are innately. We emanate it when we are young and but even though most of us bury it as we grow, it is still there just waiting for us to feel back inside for ourselves.
I have found it very challenging at times when Serge Benhayon would present on something where I would feel nothing but a resistance but even in the resistance it meant that I had felt truth and it was simply a matter of surrendering. So whenever I feel not myself in a workshop or presentation to not put up a fight within myself but to embrace and welcome the feeling offering me an opportunity to go deeper and let it go to hold more love in my body.
Understanding that ‘feeling’ doesn’t mean being emotional has really helped me connect back to myself and not live just from the emotional reaction I had to everything, whether that be sadness, happiness, anger, frustration etc.
Hello Josh and we want to hear it all types of different ways but you have described how it truly is beautifully here from Serge Benhayon, “bringing the energy of love into our everyday living so we can start to return to living the truth and full grandness we are all equally from.”
Absolutely brilliant blog Josh – such profound wisdom coming from a beautiful young man.
Thank you Josh for your article, it is interesting that as a young child we know what feelings are, then we lose this and go into reactions which are emotions which we then believe are true until we are shown by what Serge Benhayon presents that underneath emotions are our true feelings, we have gone full circle back to the truth of what we really feel and the grandness of who we truly are.
Thank you Josh for reminding me to be open to the wonder and truth of the work presented by Serge Benhayon, and to be ever grateful for the changes we are all making through The Way of The Livingness.
“It can be at times very difficult to see that what Serge is presenting is all about the grandness we all truly are, when the teachings do rock the very foundations of lovelessness many have built their lives upon.” I love your clear statement Josh, for me it said it all . . . thank you for putting your finger on to it.
We feel from our bodies, and we know very well how to counter this. But Serge Benhayon teaches that we can choose to not counter it and let go of the contraction we choose early in life to not feel what we get reflected from our parents, who chose the same. It is about letting in the love that we innately know.
When you spoke about emotions being on the surface and feelings being deeper that makes total sense. I always saw emotions as the reactions to the feelings, which of course they usually are, but the 3D visual is great to understand it on many different levels. We are love and love cannot be on the surface level, it is not just 2D or 3D it is every D. Kids know it, so it is worth considering … re-connecting with that space inside us might just be the amazing coming home we have been searching for.
“I realised there was much much more to this world than we currently are allowing ourselves to know.” Josh, this brief statement speaks volumes. Serge Benhayon makes sense of it all and shines a light on the purpose of life and the understanding that everything is energy.
What you share is so true Josh, ‘you certainly can feel much more than emotions’. I also totally agree, our emotions are much more superficial and usually occur as a reaction to something we have pictured in our mind that got smashed or expectation we had that did not occur. In comparison what we feel is much more deeper than this as our feelings bring far more simplicity, clarity and understanding to the narrow pictures our emotions only see.
“….These qualities can be lovelessness or love (prana or fire). When I realised this for myself I realised there was much much more to this world than we currently are allowing ourselves to know.” So true and so simply and beautifully expressed. Children feel this and know it, but are so often surrounded by the lovelessness, that they move away from the truth that they are inherently born with.
Thank you Joshua for explaining so aptly what feeling is and how as children we all lived quite naturally by feeling/sensing the world.
“This was not because I had to believe it or try to live a life by idolising the way he lives his, but rather because I could actually feel deep within me that what he said was also a truth for me.” You say that you don’t have a super amazing story to tell about Serge Benhayon, but what you share here is the simplest example you can bring. When we hear truth we can feel it in our bodies and know deep inside that it is our truth too.
The class of love is to never teach you what you are not but to show you once more everything that you are.
‘I could walk into a house and not have to know the people in it, but I could FEEL THEM’. It’s the same when we walk into an unfamiliar office building. We can feel the organisational culture of the place instantly – and that culture is itself merely the whole of the sum of the individual parts – the employees – and how they collectively feel. One welcome mat soup of aggregate feelings.
HA! “Love is an energy. If all is energy, then everything must be because of energy. The problem is, science already knows this but chooses to make it a point of study rather than a truth they live in their everyday lives.” What a point!! There is this truth we discovered, ‘Everything is Energy and because of this, all is because of Energy’ – And we study it, instead of living it. But that is an illusion as well, that we study it. A true study can not be less then living it.
Josh, your blog got me wondering at what age I was when I first learnt to shut down what I could feel and go along with the flow of the environment I lived in. My mother found it challenging to keep track of where I was as a young child because I would often leave the yard and go off on my own. I am wondering now if this was part natural curiosity to explore but also part to escape the pressure I was feeling from shutting down my light and not expressing what I could feel. Later on I was a bit of a black sheep whereby I would make some very direct comments to people. Yet there was no tenderness in how I was speaking and it was more about enjoying the shock value of saying something aloud that others were avoiding like the plague. It was like I was feeling the energy but not knowing what I was feeling or how to handle it so I would just blurt it out with no discernment. It is just making me realise how sensitive I have been all my life.
The last part sums up the work of Serge Benhayon very well. He presents that we are love and how that love can be lived in everyday life. Without this we have no marker or means of knowing any different. It challenges the loveless foundations but without this rocking we are left in the dark believing that we are that lovelessness or that such is unchangable or natural when it is anything but natural.
Thank you Joshua you described perfectly the difference between a feeling and an emotion. There are many pearls of wisdom in this great sharing this is one that stood out for me -‘Serge is never showing you that you are not love, but rather he is forever teaching about the love we are all truly, from showing each one of us who we are not and therefore helping present a picture of who we truly are.’
Emotions stop us feeling our bodies and are designed to lead us away from love if we make a choice to do so.
I thought love was an emotion, and energy was something you created through sleep and carbs. Universal Medicine has presented the opposite to my belief. Love in it’s true form is not an emotion and can be felt in your body and energy is something that passes through us. Feeling this in my body has created change in my life for the better.
I like how you’ve clearly defined the difference between feeling and emotion Josh. And that small stone in our shoe is the start of accepting little abuses in our lives that we become more and more accustomed and hardened to pretending we can’t feel them until such time that we come to realise that we’re worth more than what we’ve been accepting and start to reclaim the love we are so worthy of.
Josh your words “bringing the energy of love into our everyday living so we can start to return to living the truth and full grandness we are all equally from” – express what I have been shown by Serge Benhayon, and then as you have explained, we do not get saved by him, but we can work on letting go of what is not loving behaviours or thoughts, and allow more love in to then be able to let it out. Thank you for clearly explaining the difference between feelings and emotions.
From emotions we mask ourselves to truth, yet from feeling the truth awaits. Thank you Josh for connecting to the depth of this truth for us all to feel.
Thank you Josh for so clearly defining the difference between the grandness of feeling and the trap of getting caught up in emotions. the inspiration of Serge Benhayon reflecting what is possible is often challenging to the comfort of the safe life we have constructed but the expansiveness that is possible is so amazing if we choose to connect to and accept that we come from Love and it is possible to live with this as our foundation every day.
Just as you are Josh we are all students of life, all here to learn and evolve and share the wisdom we learn along the way to inspire others to do the same.
Josh, thank you for sharing this. Its great to have an understanding of what love truly is therefore we can then clearly see what it isn’t. When I was young my understanding of what love was does not even come close to what I now know to be true. And what impact did this have on my life? It was huge! It took me off course on a journey very far away from who I truly am, I ultimately became lost. But deep inside I always knew there was more, that’s why I never gave up searching, until one day I discovered Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and what an incredible blessing that was!
Love the picture you paint Nico of our journey back to re-connecting to the Love that we come from ‘I now am discovering all kinds of stones in my shoes, from big to small and I am slowly taking them out, making me able to walk as a son of God on earth again.’
I love what you present here, Josh. It’s very beautiful how you came back to the truth you had always known. In what Serge Benhayon presents and lives, we recognise the truth of what love is, and love exposes the lovelessness and we cannot but realise the truth of our own choices and, as you say so beautifully “the very foundations of lovelessness many have built their lives upon”. Leaning to accept that we are made of love, and that to make life about love is a choice that is also available to us equally is such a humbling, healing experience.
Beautiful blog Josh. Your so simply explain the Way of the Livingness. Simply building love in our lives, connecting to the fact that we are love and living this in the world.
So true Rachel, we have strayed that far form our true essence that we are only able to intellectualise love instead of living it. Love can only be lived, because love is true life and is designed to be lived and not to be intellectualised. For a long time I also intellectualised love as I understood it to be a concept, something that needed some way of performance from my side, a doing of good to the eyes of the other, but never from the inside out, as a constant feeling of preciousness that love and life actually is.
Beautifully expressed Josh, so many gems in this blog to reflect upon, I especially loved this line – “This is all that Serge Benhayon’s teachings are about: bringing the energy of love into our everyday living so we can start to return to living the truth and full grandness we are all equally from” – an awesome reminder to take into my day thank you.
I love your analogy of the child with a stone in their shoe to communicate how children do not think but just express from the truth of what they are feeling. So simple a foundation upon which to show that there are only two energies: love and that which is not love.
Josh I really loved your blog, so well put together. Showing us how to come back from emotion to feeling the love and grandness of who we truly are, no right or wrong, just feeling from our truth.
So well said Josh. Every day in every way we do have choice to feel and be the love that we naturally are or the lovelessness that we are not. And the choices that we make are reflected and can be felt in the body as harmonious or dis-harmonious. Quite a divine set-up when we chose to attune ourselves to this. Thank you for your beautifully expressed blog as I can feel the grandness of your love and truth through your words.
Beautiful blog Josh. You are so right- scientists choose to make the knowledge they have (about energy ) a point of study, rather a truth people live everyday. A big difference.
Thank you Josh. As you say emotions are not feelings and it is necessary to abandon the former in order to regain the latter, to rediscover what it is like to be a “wee child” with natural feelings.
Such a beautiful and insight-full blog Josh. We have as adults a great responsibility to nurture each and every child, so allowing them to continue to expand that wisdom and knowing that they innately have. They are such extraordinary teachers, but to hear and feel the lessons that they are presenting us, we have to drop the arrogance, that as the adult we know better, and allow ourselves to become the student.
I love your Blog Josh. Well said It’s all about bringing love into our everyday living.
The wisdom Serge presents absolutely rocks the very foundations of the lovelessness upon which we live which then offers us the opportunity to choose to rebuild them with love… so that we can then feel the difference again.
Totally agree Josh, feeling how one feels and where is an amazing thing. It is totally possible and totally real.It is also life changing as you clearly show.
“These feelings could actually tell you more than just whether something was true or not. They have a quality to them that enables everyone to be able to know much much more about something than the standard intellectual can fathom”
I love the way you have expressed and presented this Josh, thank you.
Josh your innocence, wisdom and insight are incredible. I absolutely loved reading this. You clearly bring the energy of love to your writing and this is felt.
Thank you Josh for saying it the way it is, that Serge Benhayon is “showing each one of us who we are not and therefore helping present a picture of who we truly are.”
I really love how you’ve explained the difference between an emotion and a feeling. Feeilngs are much deeper, and there is a certain quality about them that tells you so much about what is truly going on. Thanks Josh.
This is a lovely story about re-connecting to our ability to feel. The question I have is how did a young man (and many young women) grow up not knowing how to do this, and not being told that the answers are all within.
Thank you Josh. The clarity that a child has on those inner feelings, and how they know them so strongly, is so amazing. I loved your example about the rock in the shoe. I remember having that when I was younger! I also loved your example that as a child, you could walk into a house and not know the people, but you can feel them. This is so amazing as it reminds us of that energetic awareness that we always have but are mostly trying to escape because it is far too revealing.
Yes Josh, we come from a grandness so beautiful we dare not admit we left it. So let’s rock the false loveless foundations and rebuild something true for humanity.
A great point you made Josh is how adults have lost the connection to that natural love and therefor do not realise what the child is feeling and therefor the guidance of the parent can easily be based on the loveless ways it has adopted itself while growing up. It is a repetition of behaviour and ideals and beliefs that are being passed on. Whereas when we reconnect to truly feeling we can dis-cover that grand love that lies beneath and the children will be able to be left in what is already naturally there.
“This, for me, was my experience of ‘feeling’ things. To me, at this time, a feeling was an emotion.”
You have very adeptly described what was once my own experience too Josh; that I mostly only ever knew my feelings by the emotions that followed. I am very grateful now to know the difference thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
Thank you Josh, we all know what love is but we choose to live in the emotional love which is the lovelesness you refer too. You have said it very simply Josh, thank you.
For me when I started to feel the difference between an emotion and a feeling this changed my life, I learned to stay with me by feeling what was love and what was not love and to not go into drama or get influenced by the emotions of someone else. The Gentle Breath Meditation was a very important tool in this process, I could connect to my breath and feel my body and from that developed feeling the difference between love and lovelessness.
Not going into the drama was a big step for me. I still catch myself at times wanting to dramatise something. Drama is a very big emotion in alot of people’s lives and it drains your energy very quickly.
As a 4 year old I have a distant memory of feeling that I was
” living my truth and full grandness we all are equally “.
What a joy it has been to return and discover it never left me.
A beautiful writing on the teachings of Serge Benhayon Josh.
Beautiful description of love Adam Warburton, I could totally connect to this and feel it as a truth within me.
Thank you Josh for explaining about the difference between feelings and emotions. I too was confusing those two very different things. And it’s so important to be clear that we all do feel, all of the time, we just often choose to ignore what we’re feeling. Then something happens and it confirms what we have felt – confirming, that we actually had felt it, but discounted it. Starting to listen to our inner feelings and honouring those feelings is a great step towards a life of truth and simplicity.
A great point Esther. I have realised that it is not just me ignoring my feelings but my family, friends and people around me who want me to ignore my feelings.
Josh it’s so true Serge Benhayon is sharing the importance of embracing the love we knew when we were children and letting go all of the things we have taken on not to live this love.
When you look at things this way, you can see how confusing it must be for a child to grow up, feeling and knowing the difference between love and not love, and being presented with everything that we know and experience in society at the moment. We all have a great responsibility to be so much more grand than what we are living now.
It is so important to understand the difference between feelings and emotions. Thanks for summarizing it perfectly.
You have come a long way from the Catholic Church Josh. Truly understanding that what Serge presents is the key to unfolding who we truly are is already well established for you, not something you are trying to attain, as you already know exactly what is there – love.
Love the simplicity of your writing Josh, as it reveals many great truths in a very tangible way.
“Love is an energy” not an emotion, yes there is a difference between feeling and emotion.
Very clear.
I agree Jeanette – there is a vast “difference between feeling and emotion”. Even though they may get joined together as one and the same. In my experience, feelings are extremely clear whereas emotions are sticky.
I like the way you say this, yes emotions can be kind of like being caught in a cobweb. Feelings just are what they are, very real and very honest unless reacted to, then its back into the stickiness of emotion.
To expand further Jeanette, feelings can give you an overview or understanding of the situation, allowing you the opportunity to clearly see what is going on or what may happen. As soon as we react and go into the emotion then effectively we are in cobwebs and it is extremely hard to see through it.
I enjoyed reading this blog, you have expressed with such clarity and it is great to know we are supported this time around to being the love that we truly are.
Thank-you Josh. What you’ve expressed about returning to the naturalness of ‘feeling’ – and that as a young child we don’t even question this… is truly beautiful. How amazing, that through the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, we are presented with so many keys to assist us to return to our innate ability to truly feel and discern energy.
I am also deeply appreciative of this – beyond words…
“Love is an energy” – this is so liberating to know and feel and with the gentle breath meditation that Serge Benhayon teaches, it is accessible to all.
Love it Josh, I always smile when I see a young child stopping to have a stone removed from their shoe, they know something is wrong and they won’t carry on walking until it’s gone.
Dear Josh, I loved reading about your journey to understand the alternative reality that awaits us all. Your expression is inspirational and I can’t wait to hear more from you.
Awesome Josh – I especially liked your simple way of sharing this part:
“It can be at times very difficult to see that what Serge is presenting is all about the grandness we all truly are, when the teachings do rock the very foundations of lovelessness many have built their lives upon.”
This is so well said, it is so important to build and keep building the connection with our grandness, and at the same time explore and break open those areas that are not set in a foundation of love – and I find this to be a continuous process, one that is constantly refined. The grandness supports me in looking at what is not that grand and the not so grand choices that I have made. How grand is that?
The way you describe how children feel energy, naturally, was very beautiful Josh. I got a strong sense of how our feelings are interwoven with life at that age, and not a separate thing at all. It’s amazing to consider that you not so long ago were unable to connect with feelings this way, as you are such a tender and deeply felt man today.
Great blog Josh, It’s great that you share about emotions and feelings, and how we as children come with so much love, that it often is very confronting to the parents and this is why we start to harden up, and just go with what everyone does.
I love this blog Josh, clarifying between emotions and feelings. Your last sentence is so true for me, all the time Serge is showing us the love we truly are and helping us to see what is not that love.
Thanks Josh for your honesty around your initial scepticism, and then sharing how you came to allowing yourself to feel everything around you, just like when you were 3. I agree with you entirely about the craziness of how we go from knowing everything at such a young age to then completely shutting the knowing out, to fit in.
“This is all that Serge Benhayon’s teachings are about: bringing the energy of love into our everyday living so we can start to return to living the truth and full grandness we are all equally from” – thank you Josh, this is the essence of Serge Benhayon’s teachings, and how expansive we feel when we focus on this purpose every day.
Brilliantly written Josh! Like you say all Serge Benhayon does is present a marker that comes from who we all truly are; Love. From seeing my feelings as something to only bring me emotion or pain I appreciate having given feeling love a try. As that is all Serge ever asks – for us to entertain or explore for ourselves, under our own choice to do so, what he presents about energy and life.
I love how you remind us (as does Serge Benhayon) that we all feel energy all the time. We do when we are little and even though we think we don’t anymore, we still feel energy constantly. We all know what love is and recognize it when it is there. We know it, because we are from love, and we all want to be loved.
Your blog makes such sense, Josh – and it was so light and lovely to read. I love your analogy of a three old child with a stone in their shoe and how at that age we know we are not meant to override the feeling of discomfort – but then a couple of years later we begin to ignore the stone. It certainly explains the way I overrides so many discomforts in life. I love the way you explain how God is the energy of love – something to ponder on.
I love this blog Josh, it reveals so much from the eyes, thoughts and feelings of a child, so spot on and some great questions raised.
Fantastic blog, exposing how we have become used to lovelessness, and then get challenged when someone like Serge Benhayon comes along and presents from the Love we truly are, that we knew innately as children. But now because we’ve been living lovelessness for a while we question that love – the one thing we want more than anything, the thing we are. And as you stick with being shown love, it’s like becoming reacquainted with an old friend. Letting that bit of us inside that is always there (which is always love), out, takes practice and there’s no perfection, but it’s worth it.
‘I do not want lovelessness in my life or in my body’ either Ariana, but can still see many ‘dark corners’. I am so grateful to Serge Benhayon for illuminating those dark spaces where I need to bring love.
Thanks for this top blog Josh. You pose some very pertinent questions and I know for me, lovelessness was my foundation before I attended the presentations of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. For some, what Serge presents will be tough to accept, but as always it is every individuals choice to accept whether what’s being said feels true for them or not.
This is a top post Josh and even though it is two years old, it still applies today so thank you for sharing and writing what you have experienced.
For me the audio presentations by Serge Benhayon have given me a lot of answers to the point where I no longer feel a need to search for Truth, because I know what he is saying is the Truth because it all makes sense.
I love what you say “how wayward have we become as a race of beings if the grandness that we are actually from can be best be intellectualised by many, but is never actually lived”. I too had lived a very wayward, dis-connected life and things are very different today as I choose to live a self-connecting life, and commit to living life in full to the best of my ability. Serge Benhayon has inspired me beyond words.
Beautifully written Josh and so true. Children are completely natural and just know and tell it how it is, until they start to question themselves,often when we, the adults who have already lost that feeling sense have corrected them often enough to make them doubt themselves! The world would be a whole lot more loving if we allowed children to grow up retaining that natural way of being. Serge Benhayon and the presentations of Universal Medicine just make sense of it all.
I loved reading this Josh. You capture something so honest here- that Serge has never told any single one of us how to act or live. He is just a point of inspiration that allows us to actually feel that what he says and how he lives is true for us too.
And your point about love being an energy is fantastic. I also used to think it was an emotion – but I know I’ve always felt that it is an energy, and much much more than what I used to think it was.
A great explanation of what feelings are and how important they are. Well expressed, Josh.
A very inspiring and well written blog Josh. Thank you!
The way you put the questions opens up all the possibilities, Josh, it makes us question our own beliefs and ponder on what is Truth, and what is Love or Lovelessness, and how do we live those in our lives? How did I feel as a child? Can I remember that feeling of me being on the inside and the emotions I was exhibiting on the outside? yes, I can! There was always a feeling of knowing what I was doing, how I was acting, that I chose to ignore. A very valuable lesson for living my life today — connect with that feeling — not the emotion.
Thank you Josh, this brings an understanding to all that Serge Benhayon presents, we can choose to live in love or lovelessness, feelings or emotions. Whatever our choice though we are forever love and within know truth. Beautiful and simple.
Absolutely Julie Snelgrove, well said, whatever choice we make doesn’t alter the fact that we are love, as we are made of it, and we know truth within us very clearly. It’s a beautiful feeling of confirmation when I hear a truth and I feel it resonate inside of me as a recognition, a reconnection of something I had always known, but chosen to ‘forget’ and ignore for some time.
This is an amazing article, thank you Josh. And I love how you sum up Serge Benhayon’s teachings : ” bringing the energy of love into our everyday living so we can start to return to living the truth and full grandness we are all equally from.”
Josh. love the point about the stone in the shoe as a small child and only a few years later the ignoring of the same thing. How we become used to lovelessness and then base that as a foundation to live from.
Amazing… Thank you for this awesome post Josh, you share with a simplicity and grace that is truly inspiring.
I LOVED reading this. Thank you Josh!
Wow, thank you – beautifully put.
Josh, you inspired me just now… pure joy in simplicity.
Bravo, I love how you define the difference between feelings and emotions. Thank you Josh…
Fantastic Josh, this last paragraph could be presented as a disclaimer at the commencement of all UniMed presentations, so that people are pre-prepared for why they might possibly, probably, and likely, feel ‘rocked’. So true.
This is a wonderful calling out of the very foundations of lovelessness many have built their lives upon, Josh. You have explained it so clearly how it happens. No wonder there are so many troubled people trying to make sense of what in truth is non – sense.
Golly Gosh Josh, what a great piece of writing!
And for me this has to be the ‘winner’: “If God is love, then God must be the energy of love. If we all come from love, then how wayward have we become as a race of beings if the grandness that we are actually from can at best be intellectualised by many, but is never actually lived?”.
Bingo! Love it!
I completely loved your blog Josh. I felt like it was ‘me’ writing to ‘me’ and could so feel in your writing the equality and ‘ancient-ness’ of the ageless wisdom that we all are and have ever been. What an inspiring thing to read to start the day!
Thank you Josh, an amazing post and simple, clear glorious expression.

From the mouths of babes Josh, I feel so inspired form what you have written, and I can see how at times my lack of understanding love has lead to many things in my life and my children’s lives. This post has confirmed my impressions of how children truly are and what they truly want. Thank you again Josh.
Love it. Simply sharing how you have returned to what you always knew is the truth.
Josh, I so enjoyed reading your article. You have captured the essence of the teachings of Serge Benhayon concisely. The last paragraph was particularly poignant… “This is all that Serge Benhayon’s teachings are about: bringing the energy of love into our everyday living so we can start to return to living the truth and full grandness we are all equally from…. Serge is never showing you that you are not love, but rather he is forever teaching about the love we are all truly, from showing each one of us who we are not and therefore helping present a picture of who we truly are.” Profound. Thank you.
Thank you Josh. I found your whole post excellent, but from the moment (3rd last para) you wrote “Love is an energy” I was riveted. Firstly because if we really truly realise that “love is an energy” it changes and simplifies everything. Secondly because everything you said after that was so exquisitely expressed that I felt graced to read it.
Thanks Josh, I love your blog. Great clarity of expression.
Well said Josh!
