by Terri-Anne Connors, Melbourne, Victoria
I am thirty-six years of age and some would say I have already lived through more significant life events than most people have lived in their entire lives. I could write pages on a number of deeply painful and nothing less than traumatic events that have occurred in my life, either directly to me, a member of my immediate family or a close friend: from death, murder, rape, suicide, illness, disease, drug and alcohol abuse to physical and emotional abuse.
As I experienced each one of these events they were not the most difficult things for me to deal with in my life. Yes they were at the time very painful and extremely sad, but it is my experience when the big events like these happen, we inevitably find an inner strength. A strength that cannot be likened to anything else – it is a knowing that you will get through, that you are being looked after, that there is a reason for everything and that much will be learnt from it. It is also my experience that when the big stuff happens people check in on you, they rally around, including strangers. The generosity and care from people is deeply touching and reinforces your will to go on. It is after the shock wears off and you start to get back to everyday life that it becomes difficult.
What I needed help with was much simpler, the questions I needed answered were about the everyday things:
- How to get a good night sleep so I didn’t wake feeling like I hadn’t slept at all.
- How to eat in a way so that I didn’t feel heavy, tired and craving more food, especially food that contained sugar and were high in carbohydrates.
- How to exercise without hurting myself and wanting to give up after a couple of days.
- How to finish a full day of work without feeling exhausted and drained.
- How to be responsible without taking on the burdens of others; knowing the difference between what could truly help another and what actually didn’t help at all.
- How to speak up about what is wrong in the world without fear of retribution, even when retribution came.
- How to deal with work colleagues, family and friends who sometimes lie and betray my trust.
- How to watch while those same people say and do things that clearly hurt themselves and others, including me.
- How to be a woman, to transition from being a girl innocent to the world and still honour that fragility while becoming a responsible adult.
- How to choose to not want to have children and still feel like a whole woman.
- How to stop the constant barrage of subtle but negative undermining thoughts towards myself.
- How to trust that you don’t have to have a tertiary education, be the most qualified or the oldest in the room to be intelligent or have a worthwhile contribution.
It was these everyday things that challenged me more than those big, painful and traumatic events.
I genuinely did go looking for answers. I have always had the ability to ask questions and understand things well beyond my education or age and experience – one would say I was discerning. But how does that help when you live in a world that discourages that? When we are taught not to question, especially of those who are leaders, experts in their fields and in positions of authority or power. Nothing I tried, read and attended worked – the many books, groups and courses both religious and spiritual, personal trainers, diets, financial advisors or business ideas. I would start a book and not finish it because although there were some valid points, most of it did not actually help. I would attend sessions with a counselor, a psychologist or group therapy, but went away no better off and inevitably returning to the confusion that led me there in the first place. I even tried to go back to Church – I was raised as a Catholic, but again none of it really answered my questions. None of it helped with the day-to-day things and I always came back to: there had to be more to life, there had to be a reason for the suffering and why life could not be simpler.
Serge Benhayon was the first person who actually listened to me and understood where I was coming from. It was Serge who recognised in me that inner knowing and inner strength. He could see through the frustration and the confusion. Serge was the first person who genuinely cared for me and what I had to share. Not what clever things he could tell me, or how he could help me to be a ‘better person’ or what he thought was wrong with me. He always, mostly confirmed what I knew was right and wrong. Serge knew I was discerning and was not put off by that, but rather he encouraged it. It was Serge who showed me it was the inner strength and knowing which was worth encouraging and talking about, that THAT is who I am – that it is not the details and events of my life which defined me. Serge showed me that all that was important was for me to continue to nurture and develop my inner strength and my inner knowing by learning how to best deal with the everyday life things and how that would support me to develop those inner qualities.
There are two very important things about Serge Benhayon’s presentations that greatly inspired me:
- Everything is energy – therefore everything is because of energy, and
- We all have a personality, a spirit and a soul.
For me, once I understood those two things in full, everything else could be explained. That is what I had been missing and the fact that nothing and no one had encouraged me to nurture my inner qualities and support me to deal with the everyday life things. That is what I needed help with. This explained the suffering, and why life was not simpler. I don’t know of a better way to live than how I am living now based on all of what Serge has inspired and encouraged in me.
Of course there is room for improvement in some areas, but from where I stand now there has been a significant shift in my overall well-being and in my day-to-day living. I am still asking questions, still being discerning, but up until and including now, the time spent with Serge Benhayon is the only time my questions got answered.
The Truth about Serge Benhayon 
I have never come across someone like Serge Benhayon it’s as though he can see into your soul and because he can see this depth of quality in you there is no judgement, only love and I know he loves humanity in a way that at this moment in time we are not able to accept or love ourselves to that same degree. What I am discovering is that to know something I must already have that within me or I wouldn’t know it to begin with, there would be no reference point. This is supporting me to look deeper within and find for myself what Serge can see so clearly within us all.
“It is after the shock wears off and you start to get back to everyday life that it becomes difficult.” I recently realised that a very difficult situation I was in actually brought more purpose to my life and brought forth my strengths, even though on the surface we see what’s happening and feel it’s a ‘bad’ thing, but actually even though it was challenging ultimately it was strengthening. Now that the pressure is off and life is so called ‘”good” again, to be honest it feels pretty terrible, because I’m not engaged at that level of purpose and responding to life still. Life is not at all what it seems, the truth is not in the pictures of how life is supposed to be, but in feeling for ourselves the truth of our experiences.
This is unique about Serge, and just one of his many beautiful qualities, ‘ Serge was the first person who genuinely cared for me and what I had to share. Not what clever things he could tell me, or how he could help me to be a ‘better person’ or what he thought was wrong with me.’
Great Terri-Anne, as I relate to so much of what you have shared and may I add that Serge Benhayon also offers everyone to find how life is for them without ever telling people what to do but discerningly providing a Loving space for all to unfold into what will best serve as we all have our own path.
“Nurture my inner qualities and support me to deal with the everyday life things” – if this is how we parent/educate our children, the world is going to be a completely different place. What comes first is our inner-most, and we have got it completely upside-down at the moment.
Yes, much of what goes on in the world is ‘upside-down’ as you put it.
Serge Benhayon has inspired so many, he certainly has inspired me, to the point my life has completely and utterly changed. Meeting Serge was like being given the best gift in the entire universe.
Absolutely, so many ‘KEYS’ to living Universal Wisdom have been shared.
Absolutely, meeting Serge was like being given the best gift in the entire universe!
This is a big one for me to bring understanding to current events.
“How to watch while those same people say and do things that clearly hurt themselves and others, including me.”
To bring understanding to a society that has been deeply touched by the teachings of Serge Benhayon and yet are at a juncture in their lives when they are not able to stand up for what they know in their hearts to be true. The pressures that society put on us is huge and for many they buckle under this sustained pressure. Even so the truth will be known because it is impossible for it to be withheld from humanity and one day we will all understand what has been so far presented to the world is true in deed and word.
So very true Elizabeth. Serge Benhayon is definitely the master of simplicity and is constantly offering us the very simple ways we can address the complicated web of life that so may of us have been masters at weaving. I would rather be a master of simplicity than one who makes life so much more challenging than it actually needs to be.
Serge Benhayon was the first person who began to make sense of my life, a life that really never made sense, and sense of a world that seemed to be out of control. It was like I was finally able to take a full, deep and nourishing breath and to start to breathe for myself instead of breathing in reaction to all that was going on around me. I now am able to fully embrace life, a life that makes more sense every time I read or listen to the very wise sharings by Serge.
A life changing event Ingrid, that makes so much sense as the lived wisdom of Serge Benhayon is felt, as if we have already lived that, as it feels like a deeper understanding of what has been shared by Serge comes from our own inner-wisdom as something simple and a practical way of living that we are ready to live!
I agree with you Ingrid I had heard the words personality, spirit and a soul from religious education studies at school but it was Serge Benhayon that made sense of these words so that we can all have an understanding of what is actually occurring in life. When we gain an understanding then we have more control of what is happening rather than just feeling like flotsam in the sea of life with little to no direction but going where ever the current takes us.
This is such an awesome list of questions, it is like you have written the words that so many young women would ask as they venture out in to the world. And it reminds me that these are the kinds of things we can share with each other, and especially with the young people who are stepping out and learning about life.
I know that, directly thanks to Serge Benhayon, I will be more discerning about the energy behind an intention and know that I would not have even contemplated the importance of this had it not been for his example in my life.
I had always been aware that there was a Soul and a spirit, but it was not until I came across The Way of The Livingness that I came to understand and tangibly feel the difference between the two and how my body felt being led by the quality of each. I have found that the more I allow myself to be led by the quality or connection to Soul the more everything makes absolute sense and there is a great clarity as to what is true and real and what is not, what supports the body and what does not. This I found to be empowering in every way along with my life being and feeling deeply enriched and purposeful every day.
Everyday life is a terrain where we can easily hide, get lost, sink or resurrect ourselves. That is why the questions we pose and the answers we come up with are so crucial.
Hang on! If most of us if not all of us cannot answer these questions in full with true and deep understanding that feels true within the body then why are we just putting up with the lies and mistruths that society presents us with? Clearly something does not add up here and our ignorance can only go so far.
If we take the lid of the world of academia it is not so pretty, to be totally honest it seems their bodies are wrecked for the sake of their minds. I used to look up to highly educated people valuing their opinion but I have a question to ask these people
“As a society we pride ourselves in our education system and there are now millions of people who have university degrees, but we cannot manage to replicate the building of the Pyramids and how did those people in the past know so much about science that we have only discovered recently by using highly sophisticated computers. How did they know about atoms, where did they get this knowledge from?” Back then there was no such thing as evidence based science that had to be proven. How could they prove that atoms existed yet they knew it to be a fact without conducting a double, treble blind experiment. So to me we seem to be painting ourselves into a corner if we pursue this narrow version of life, life cannot not be contained in such a narrow parameters.
Everyone in the world has questions like these, how to actually practically live everyday life in a truthful and beautiful way and not get sucked under or exhausted or life in constant struggle, and I agree that the presentations Serge Benhayon give are the only whole, complete all-encompassing answers to life’s burning questions that I have ever come across.
What great questions to seek answers for.
If everyone knew what was needed to get a good nights sleep and acted on it, the world would be quite different.
I agree Nikki – so simple and yet the most important natural healer. Our body knows what it needs, if we took away all stimulants our world would be very different.
Terri-Anne thanks for wring this blog and detailing how Serge Benhayon understood you and has supported you to re connect to the inner knowing that you have that we all have within us and yet have no idea its there. Once we connect back to this inner knowing which is so familiar it’s like being reunited with our most trusted best friend.
“That is what I had been missing and the fact that nothing and no one had encouraged me to nurture my inner qualities and support me to deal with the everyday life things.”
To live nurturing, suppprting, accepting and appreciating our inner qualities is the most beautiful truth we can live by. As this way of living completely wipes away any and all false ideas of our inabilities and brings to the for our strong true nature, where acceptance of what we are good at, or not so good at is lived with the true grace of our inner essence.
It gave me such a freedom on one side and responsibility on the other side to realize that we are not what we do or the things we have experienced that define us, but our inner strength, knowing and the connection we have to this that define the quality of who we are.
There is so much confusion around what is spirit and what is soul and if those words are even interchangeable. The work of Serge Benhayon casts light on this in a way that totally resonates and supports us to live with more clarity and confidence in what we know in our hearts to be true.
There are some things that explain so much and others that explain so little. Those that explain so much help us to answer our questions, but most importantly, to learn that these questions are on the way to much bigger ones.
One of the things that explains so much, is the fact of, ‘Everything is energy – therefore everything is because of energy’.
Wow if we can as a society get right the list of everyday things you needed help with then we would see a lot more healthier, happier and emotionally stable people. These are the foundations we need in order for us to be truly joyful and settled with life.
Those two points you shared do indeed explain why humanity is as it is because nothing else can explain the lovelessness that we see today.
As well as the two things that you mention that inspired you about Serge Benhayon a third one for me was that that he never told me, or anybody I know, what to do – he only ever presents a reflection.
How true Jstewart51, Serge never told me or anybody I know what to do, his greatness just allows us all to unfold in our own right time. This is what I truly love about Serge Benhayon.
I have to agree Terri-Anne it is more likely to be the simple details of day to day life and our relationships that trip us up and both undermine and prevent us solidifying our foundations so that when the big issues happen we actually have no foundations to hold and support us which is why they can sometimes feel all the more devastating.
We have a tendency to look at the extreme and write off anything less than the extreme as ‘that’s what happens’ and accept them as part of our normal, and I agree with you – that it is in that everydayness we feel the constancy of unsettlement that builds over time, possibly to eventuate to something bigger.
The Ageless Wisdom, which Serge Benhayon so magnificently represents, answers all our questions, from ‘how to get a good night’s sleep’ to ‘what is the difference between spirit and Soul?’ and ‘what is the meaning of life?’ It’s all mapped out for us and for many, when they have hit absolute rock bottom, it is where they turn to. For others it is an inner knowing they have never lost that allows them to see beyond the general societal discontent, unrest and the inner unsettlement.
Yes, when you are ready for honesty the Ageless Wisdom is there. There is no pandering or skirting around the issue, just truth and therefore freedom from the constrains of ideals and beliefs.
Through the presentations by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I too have had many of my questions answered, not directly but in a way that has led me to feel things for myself, I know truth through my body and how it feels, and most of all I have changed the way I live which supports me back in more ways than I can say.
I couldn’t agree more, until I was aware of a couple of these very simply energetic facts, life did not make much sense. It was just something that overwhelmed me and that I felt I had to escape from, now life is something I understand more deeply and want to embrace more and more of.
Thank God for Serge Benhayon for bringing back the truth to the meanings and use of word. Not only Can I now get a deep lived sense of what it means to truly be loving I can also get a sense of just how much humanity has been held back by using false meanings to almost every way of describing life to mask what is truly going on here.
Listening to the presentations of the Ageless Wisdom by Serge Benhayon has shown me a way to understand all that goes on in life and hold The Way of The Livingness as a way to be in the world.
‘Everything is energy – therefore everything is because of energy, and We all have a personality, a spirit and a soul.’ Agreed Terri Anne – the awareness that Serge Benhayon brings is earth shatteringly profound, and the real and necessary game changer.
And what makes it doubly ‘shatteringly profound’ is that it is practical, common sense and simple.
Yes so practical, simple and outrageously oozing common sense!!
‘It was these everyday things that challenged me more than those big, painful and traumatic events.’ I can agree with that, Terri-Anne. What I’m feeling too is it’s the mastery of the everyday things that give us the fortitude for the other: the foundation of self-love that holds us steady when the storm comes.
It’s the everyday support, the simple everyday understanding that we need and in fact it’s what I needed and now grow from. As the article is saying the big ups and downs were explained and would pass, you wouldn’t truly understand but it was more the little questions everyday that remained unanswered., these supposed little things were the key. Once I started to understand these then life as a whole began to take more shape. Before this understanding I was like a cork in the ocean and at times you were under. Simple living qualities that you didn’t need learn but more return to became the dedication and when things felt too big, you simply returned to them as this is your everyday. Universal Medicine didn’t provide the answers but just supported you to turn back to what had already been said, I was already feeling it but just couldn’t grasp it and this has been the truest support for me to make sense of the feelings that were already there.
Serge has introduced that ..”Everything is energy – therefore everything is because of energy, and
We all have a personality, a spirit and a soul.’ These essential tools for true living.
Love the ‘how to’s’ Terri-Anne – very familiar! This is really about being our true selves in the world.
I too had so many of your “How to” questions throughout my life but as I wasn’t someone who felt confident asking questions of any sort most of them remained un-asked and of course un-answered. It was not until I, like you, came to presentations of Serge Benhayon that many of these questions began to be answered not just by Serge, but by me as he supported me to begin to understand life and my place in it. And today I am finally asking questions and getting some amazing answers!
Asking questions about life, even though the process may be challenging is much more supportive than having no questions because we either have succumbed to comfort and do not choose to feel all the lovelessness and ugliness that do not make sense in life, or we have chosen to be disempowered by life and withdraw.
Absolutely, we all need to have the understanding of this, ‘There are two very important things about Serge Benhayon’s presentations that greatly inspired me: Everything is energy – therefore everything is because of energy, and We all have a personality, a spirit and a soul.’ These two facts help explain much about our current life.
When I got my head around those two facts I have been able to move forward in many ways that seem ordinary on one level, but are deeply supportive and necessary for meaningful and sustained growth.
I agree it is our inner qualities that are worth connecting to and developing, ‘was for me to continue to nurture and develop my inner strength and my inner knowing by learning how to best deal with the everyday life things and how that would support me to develop those inner qualities.’
I really relate to this article, because I could do the drama or the big stuff, step up and get through it because that what had to happen, and I had experienced things that felt tricky and always made sure I did not collapse but gather myself together and yet the everyday choices where not of the same quality. I have a been altering my everyday choices, because for me this is the majority of my life, how I wake, eat, walk , talk, these details matter to the whole experience life, having support with them through healing etc are deeply effective and can alter habits and patterns that do not support us. One would be that I used to say up and watch TV until late, no more is this the case because I am connected to my body more and I feel it does not support it, these details matter.
I cannot appreciate and fathom enough of the impact of this man and the amazing inspiration he has been for so many. Serge Benhayon has seeded forth in so many the truth of what this world is truly about and how an amazing life is possible with Love and responsibility
How easy it is to hand ourselves over to the external, temporal world that then defines and moulds us to who we think and believe we are, when in fact, this is far from the truth. A return to the essence within is to have no need of losing ourselves or wanting recognition from others ever again. Serge Benhayon’s presentations have also truly supported and inspired me to make different choices and return to the truth of who I Am, just as you describe Terri-Anne.
“It was Serge who showed me it was the inner strength and knowing which was worth encouraging and talking about, that THAT is who I am – that it is not the details and events of my life which defined me”.
Its the apparently small things that we easily brush aside, but they are actually the daily choices we make that add up to how we are living. I have been working on speaking up rather than holding back. Its a life long pattern I am slowly changing and it feels very empowering.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog again Terri-Anne. What a ability to have to deal with the extreme traumatic events – I know many who never recover. You’d ‘think’ because you could deal with those events that the rest of life could be managed or handled.
I too have learnt to understand life from my body under the auspice of Serge Benhayon. Without the simple knowing of what it means to reconnect back to it I would still be living from my lower mind over analyzing, worrying and complicating what otherwise is a simple and supported process of accepting life, ME and others.
Thank you Terri-Anne for sharing what you offer.
Deeply appreciating who we are and the qualities that we inherently carry so supports us in our every day life. Our connection to Serge Benhayon and what he presents to us, reflects to us and how he inspires us is an awesome blessing. Thank you for this very real and wholesome blog Terri-Anne.
What you have shared in this blog Terri-Anne highlights your courage, your wisdom and your deep appreciation for Serge Benhayon and yourself. You are such an inspiration and I deeply appreciate you.
Absolutely brilliant blog Terri-Anne. I have found that I learn so much about life, myself and the reasons things are as they are through the connections I have with other people. Everyone has a wealth of wisdom to offer if we observe and discern the energetic truth rather than blindly react to the outplay of life.
Everyday the Benhayon’s inspire me to live more, be me, be responsible, drop my guards, honour myself more, I could go on and on for it is endless the way in which I have been inspired by this amazing family.
There is nothing wrong with following someone if what they live and teach makes intrinsic sense. It is only when you follow someone in blind faith or in the hope that they know more than you that you get into trouble in life. Always should you discern and apply what you are shown to your own life to ensure that it works.
When humanity finally gets that everything is energy ( and I am resisting the urge to have a lot of capitals here !) then the surging tide of destructive impulses ravaging our world and people will surely start to turn around.
This is so true Terri-Anne and has been the way in my life also. When a storm (trauma) hits, we innately know what to do and we all rally together to help deal with the damage. But it is our day-to-day living that can really wear us out if we have not built a solid foundation on which to stand. In a sense, when we do not focus on being consciously present with both mind and body moving as one harmonious unit, we create mini cyclones we then have to deal with at a later date by way of the ensuing exhaustion and illnesses that come from living out of sync to the rhythms of the Universe we are governed by. Drawing focus to the minutiae of life, our daily movements in the way we eat, sleep, converse etc. is the key to developing the rock solid steadiness that will see us through whatever turbulence may come our way.
Beautifully said Liane. I have resisted this for a long time as it asks me to take complete responsibility for my state of being. Your comment reminds me that there are no little things and that responsibility is a joy not a burden.
Serge Benhayon has encouraged and inspired me to live me. And this is the only and greatest gift we can offer anyone. Permission to be ALL that we are.
It is to me so obvious and such common sense to care for myself in the simplest of ways in my day to support myself and others yet I can find it challenging to consistently look deeper into what’s next… how and in what way can I deepen the love for myself yet I know and this knowing keeps persisting until I finally say “yes”.
I can relate to this, my life was often in a state of drama, survival, concerning what the next issue would be, everyday life and routine and rhythm was a mystery to be…I will be honest and say that I like the adrenaline filled life, I liked dealing with problems, thinking I was orating things out, getting righteous i the family dynamic etc…this was all a big distraction and when it has come to letting it go what has been significant is that I did not really give much attention or have much experience of as you say caring for myself, with bedtime routines, food, being gentle….this has changed so much so, that I now support other sin my life and work to make self-care a propriety for them…we all can, but it takes some honesty about why we are not already making these choices.
Living the experiment that “Everything is Energy” is inspiring every day, what it inspires in me is the discovery that everything happens because of the energy that we have chosen, or the energy that has chosen us.
Serge Benhayon has not only always supported me to be discerning of everything he has given me the tools to reconnect with and develop my awareness of energy and to be discerning at this level. Things may sound good or look good on a physical level but beneath the surface we may be feeling that there is more going on then meets the eye. This is not to say we need to be judgemental or mis-trusting but more to be open to observing what we are sensing on a deeper level in all things and to not dismiss those feelings that we have.
Serge Benhayon is the first person to truly answer my questions too. To me, this is built on the fundamental awareness of who he is and who we all are. It is never about being a ‘better person’ but being the amazingness we are. We are not evolving into loving beings but back to the expression of the love that we are and were born to be.
Beautiful sharing of how when we take care of the seemingly smaller things in life, like the quality of our everyday choices eg. how we eat and sleep we have the steadiness to deal with the bigger unexpected events. A true and loving connection with ourselves is the greatest foundation for life, the consistency of one life.
There are fundamental aspects of life that are unchangeable, and yet humanities search for these basic truths takes more and more perverse turns
Yet we suffer the perversity of such turns because we become tantalized by the outer search for a truth that is actually found deep within us. And so the illusion prevails.
Serge Benhayon has the capacity to meet everyone, yes everyone, for who they truly are and offer the support that is true for them.
The power of meeting another in their true essence, as Serge Benhayon has for so many is truly transforming. We can learn much from a true reflection; it inspires us to be that which we are in truth.
Serge Benhayon is an incredible inspiration – a truly Universal Man.
Great sharing Terri-Anne.
I love how you bring everything to the very real and tangible reality of day to day living. The big things in life are so much easier to traverse if we are well rested, vital and present.
It is sad reality that few of us are brought up to nurture our inner qualities that could support us to deal with the everyday occurences of life let alone the big things. Thank god for Serge not only answering what we have deeply craved for so long but for showing us how to connect back to and embrace what we had been missing inside… ourselves.
Attending to the ‘little’ everyday things makes the bigs things smaller and eminently more easy to handle. Practising the Gentle Breath Meditation and generally bringing a gentleness and presence back to my body and movements and appreciating this in myself brings a quality and steadiness that supports me to take one step at a time in the strength of knowing that I can handle whatever comes up whatever size it may be.
Powerfully shared Terri-Anne. I spent much of my life feeling ashamed and damaged by some of the things I had lived through. Reading this blog today has given me the opportunity to take stock of the fact that thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I no longer define myself by my past, my education, my job, my appearance or how much money is in my bank account. This brings a new flavour to every moment of my life. “It was Serge who showed me it was the inner strength and knowing which was worth encouraging and talking about, that THAT is who I am – that it is not the details and events of my life which defined me.”
I completely agree how important these “little things” you have listed are. In fact there is no such thing as little things because everything matters and makes a huge difference!
Thank you for sharing Terri-Anne – you are living proof that no matter what life throws at us we are more than well equipped to deal with it. Seeing life purely through our eyes does not make sense and much stuff is then unexplained, whereas as soon as we bring energy into the equation suddenly the dots (at least most of them) get connected.
My life has been touched in the same way Terri-Anne, what you’ve shared is profound and powerful… having life make sense AND being able to use that understanding to build a life that is vital, engaged, purposeful, hard-working, extremely healthy and loving… shows it is true.
It is true, we get support for major things (tragic happenings), but to deal with everyday choices that cloud our possibility to be well we are pretty much on our own. We tend to discard everyday matters as less important, but in truth they are not. This is an area where Universal Medicine has a lot to say and where we can gain an amazing lot by giving a go to these teachings.
“Serge showed me that all that was important was for me to continue to nurture and develop my inner strength and my inner knowing by learning how to best deal with the everyday life things and how that would support me to develop those inner qualities.” This is such a profound and true way of supporting people to heal their hurts.
I have been one with similar questions about how to be in everyday life Terri-Anne and I am sure there are many others who have done and are doing the same. Like you Serge Benhayon has been a major contributor in my understanding about life and has inspired me to live it more truly and with purpose.
I love the honesty of your questions, that you started to ask yourself. When we start to ask these honest questions we open the doors to a truer way of living and are willing to find true answers.
So true, Judith, it is only through honesty, asking the questions that so often feel uncomfortable to ask and then choosing to live the ‘answers’ that we find a truer way of living.
I loved the questions too Judith. There is such a joy and innocence in the way these questions are asked because the answers are now known and lived by the author and many others. Each and every answer provided here is profound beyond measure when it is understood, known and lived.
Serge Benhayon presents the basic Laws of the Universe so we can understand clearly what is going on and this answers all our questions and allows us to settle into our body and truly get onto really living in full by applying these principles to our everyday livingness.
Being discerning means feeling energy and picking up nuances that are otherwise hidden from our other senses. The many self help strategies out in the world which offer some truths but never really seem to help, as Terri-Anne puts it, offer solutions from the same energy that created the problems. Serge Benhayon has always presented how important it is to feel the energy behind the expression and that self care is based on developing a body that can support us to feel all the time and therefore be discerning of the energy we choose. This is the support that empowers true change.
From the very outset Serge gave me the one answer that covers every question I could have. In his statement, everything is energy and everything is because of energy he shares the truth that energy is a fundamental part of everyday life.
“the time spent with Serge Benhayon is the only time my questions got answered.”
… I have to most definitely agreed here with Terri-anne… Since my late teen years my life was really just a search… I had no idea that the answers for everything were actually inside me… Thank you Serge Benhayon
Serge Benhayon confirmed for me the truth I felt inside me. I have listened to many presenters and teachers, priests and other religious people and mostly I was left with many questions, contradictions and a sense of cynicism. I have never felt this with Serge, because Serge comes from a solid foundation that is the same love that I and everyone else comes from.
I really appreciate your blog Terri-Anne. It holds wisdom beyond just this life.
Looking at Serge is like looking into the most divine mirror. For the reflection he offers is no less then Heavenly.
This is a great read Terri-Ann, your honesty is refreshing. All of those questions you asked were not only for and from you but everyone. It feels like anyone could relate to that list and want to know how to do the daily things that we just ‘deal with’ by function. From what I can see, humanity is struggling with the day-to-day stuff, with loving ourselves and expressing that love to each other. There is nothing wrong with us, we just don’t understand life. All these questions could be subjects at school – now that’s what I would call true education.
Serge speaks the simple truth and lives this in his life, and understanding the teaching that all is energy and all is because of energy make sense of how our world is and how it is being run. The truth about the Soul and Spirit opens us up to the love we hold within and that part of us that lives in denial.
What I love on Serge Benhayon is his simplicity and that he simply walk his talk. That inspired me to connect back to my own simplicity. So no need for all those dramas and emotions (work is still in progress). That is what made this everyday things so much easier for me.
When I first met Serge Benhayon at a workshop, I immediately rang a friend and said I had found the truth, someone who not only made absolute sense but I felt a connection to my inner yearning, like coming home was how I expressed it. It was the big picture, the how, why and wherefore that had me always know there was more and no one had ever been able to explain and I had not witnessed any one living up until that point. My life changed as I finally had a connection, and a purpose to clear all the mistruths, judgements and false beliefs I was holding about myself mainly with impacted how I held others. Thanks to Serge Benhayon, simply knowing and living in accordance with the Divine plan and knowing life does have meaning and purpose, has allowed me to expand according to my natural impulses
“What I needed help with was much simpler, the questions I needed answered were about the everyday things”, I love that you point this out as it is the rhythm of our everyday life that either supports us or not. That – my daily rhythm – is where I need to put my focus to, and everything else will fall into place.
At first I was a little amazed that you found the everyday things challenged you more than the big, painful and traumatic events but as I continued to read the penny dropped and it all made sense.
‘How to speak up about what is wrong in the world without fear of retribution, even when retribution came.’ This is something I am still working on, but much has changed here for me thanks to what Serge Benhayon presents. In the past I would simply keep schtum, stay quiet. Gradually I started to speak up, stumbling and clumsy and still often not quite saying what I really felt. Now, although I can still find speaking up excruciating, this is not all the time, and even when it is I am giving it a go. Every time I do, I feel the retribution is really nothing to be scared of and that holding back the truth causes far more hurt and pain.
You mention the fact that Serge Benhayon was the first person to make sense of the distinction between spirit and Soul and I wholeheartedly agree, it is the same for me. And it has made an unbelievable difference to how I now understand and live life.
I guess we all carry these questions with us but it is so easy to ignore them, more or less, especially when busy with other, ‘bigger’ challenges. Glad of the one who can see, accept and ask these questions and it’s a blessing to get true answers. To get an true understanding of life is the base of development.
When we are truly looking for real foundational support only the absolute Truth will deliver it.
One of the greatest things we can ever learn and something Serge Benhayon continuously presents is that we are not evolving to an advanced way of living in terms of being more comfortable due to advances in technology, we are in fact returning to a much grander and far more simpler way of being, (of which technology can be a part but not the focus) that we have lived and will all live in full once more. This means that we do not have to put pressure on ourselves to be or do something, we only need to express that which we already are and let the inherent beauty of this unfold out in all that we do.
It’s so true what you share Terri-Anne, that in meeting Serge Benhayon you are allowed the grace to truly meet yourself as he sees you for who you truly are and when held in this way, all that you are is confirmed so that all you are not is exposed for the imposter it is.
That’s the beauty of Serge he connects to our inner qualities and essence and from there he inspires us to connect to the same truth. When we connect to this we can see the light and make choices that honour and supports us.
It is wonderful to know that in times of need, people find themselves again. We are extremely sensitive and strong, and our ability to get through the most awful of times is quite amazing when we allow the support around us to help us heal.
I’ve tried two approaches to dealing with hurts – 1: do it on my own, inevitably end up depressed and shut many people out for long periods of time and prolong the wallowing. 2: allow others to be there for me, support me in my sadness and then when it’s time to let it go, allow them to remind me that it’s time and that it’s safe to be in the world. I can assure everyone that the 2nd approach has a worthwhile ending.
What’s amazing about your story Terri Anne, is how you’ve always looked beyond the events, and sought to understand why they occured in the first place, which is quite amazing considering how intense and traumatic they have been. Allowing yourself to deal with the emotions and then seek answers instead of allowing the emotions to run your life forever, is quite inspiring. Who said we have to carry scares of past events around with us forever? We don’t need to identify with past hurts, there is so much more to who we are.
I like how you point out that it were not all the many things that you could do or were clever about but that is was yourself, your inner quality that Serge Benhayon saw in you and encouraged you to nurture and listen to. This shows that we do not need anybody to tell us what to do, we only need support to unfold what is there already and to let go of what stands in the way of it.
Thank you Terri-Anne for the reminder that: “it is not the details and events of my life which define me”. This is something that we are not taught as children, a time where we begin to take on the ideals and beliefs of others, with one of them being that what happens to us in life and what we do, is who we are. To know that is not the truth of who we are is one of the many questions that Serge Benhayon has answered for me, as well as many other questions I had been searching for the answers for what seemed forever, but at the same time he has always reminded me that I had the answers within me all along.
The Way of The Livingness shared by Serge Benhayon offers a strong foundation from which to live that enables you to know from within yourself how to meet life’s challenges be they big or small.
I can say ditto to all of what you’ve shared here Terri-Anne, Serge Benhayon was the first person in my life to see and support what I do innately know. And he supports everyone in this same way by reflecting and sharing what he knows which is no different to what we know. From this quality we are all the same. What I am really feeling lately is in the lifestyle of no knowing or not wanting to know – it feels horrible, it’s like the body is intolerant to unknowingness and when we do settle down and allow ourselves to be open to the fact that we know everything about our lives is when we grow and expand rather than wither under the weight of being reduced to fighting what we do know. Is it possible that our issues in life stem from the stance of ‘I don’t know’ – what if we approached life from ‘I know whats going on’ ?
Thank you Terri-Anne for sharing such a significant shift in your life, I love how many people are searching for something then when they meet Serge Benhayon they are reminded of the love and wisdom they already hold.
A beautiful sharing Terri-Anne. I’ve had a similar experience of knowing I’d found truth upon meeting Serge Benhayon and having my unasked questions answered.
As I was growing up people just accepted life as it was, where as I wanted answers to questions and what felt true and what knew inside. When I was introduced to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine all changed, I no longer needed to look for answers, I was supported in connecting to myself and my inner knowing where I could find answers.
All around me as I was growing up people were just getting on with life, not questioning the rollercoaster of highs and lows. Yet I had a deep question, what was life about? So I relate to your blog Terri Anne and have appreciation that even though I tried hard, I could never actually wipe out that question and its development into that knowing that I felt when I met Serge Benhayon.
This shows that the answers we are looking for are already on our body, Serge Benhayon shows us that it is in the energy we choose that we get the answers we need in any point in our life.
Serge Benhayon was the first person in my life that could make sense of life in full and not leave any little piece in the mysterious and ‘too hard to answer’ basket which so many do. We accept that there are parts of life that simply cannot be known in full and that there are mysteries but this is not actually true
What I feel from reading your blog today Terri-Anne is really how simple it all is. As a population we all get caught up in the things that happen in our lives and believe that these are reality and life, the drama of these make us feel alive and that is what living is all about. The truth is far more simple as you have articulated. We all are soul and this essence connects us in love and equality, we all have a spirit that wants to dictate life and draw us out into living what is not true and our personality is the way we choose to express this. Everything is energy and everything is because of energy thus the quality of energy we all allow to flow through us dictates the quality of energy we experience in all our exchanges and experiences, and relationships all of the time. What is true and the choice we can all make is to re-connect to our essence within, our soul, the amazingness we all equally share and make this our livingness in our lives and in the world. Thank you for living the essence of who you truly are for this is reflected through all others in the world.
Your QUESTIONS and sharing echo many of us Terri-Anne . It wasn’t until I came across Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayons Presentations of the Ancient Wisdom that I finally had answers also, having spent many years looking also. After 9 years I still am so glad to have Universal Medicine and these wonderful ever expanding teachings in my life.
Humanity needs truth, and truth so deep that the resonance of truth is there to be felt, and this will not be simply in words because words can fool us and be twisted, but in words that have lived so that the true power of the words can be felt… And this truth is what Universal Medicine brings to the world.
‘Nurture our inner qualities’ awesome advice.
I am forever inspired by how understanding and supportive Serge Benhayon is “It was Serge who showed me it was the inner strength and knowing which was worth encouraging and talking about,” I have felt more aware of my truth and that my truth is not my issues through being present at Serge Benhayon’s workshops. Profound, I am not my issues…as we all equally divine, we are not our issues, however much we get caught up in them. To begin to pull away from this illusion, changes everything.
Reading this reminded me of something I used to say, ‘I was good in an emergency’, I came good, was calm, purposeful and supportive, and yes, this was true and still is, but I am genuinely less different from emergency to non-emergency, life now has a flow and steadiness to it. In the past, I often felt however that I could deal with emergencies better than I could the every day stuff. Learning the basic elements of self-care have meant so much to the quality of my life. These are built into every day and it sustains me, what ever comes in life.
Those questions that ‘sit’ with us all – unanswered, encouraging us to ignore, overlook, bury and maybe even numb. Those questions that have the potential to bring a quality to our lives that trigger change, energetic responsibility and understanding, which can change Humanity – Yes they are big ones. All the time these answers were sitting within me, but it wasn’t until I met Serge Benhayon and started listening to the Universal Medicine presentations that I started to re-connect to this inner knowing, and the answers came. Thanks Terri- Anne.
This is lovely ch1956, I really enjoyed the way you speak of the questions and that they where within all the time…I thank Serge Benhayon for sharing this, that we all have the access and will to understand and know the world we live in if we choose.
I can clearly state that having spent more or less three years studying with Serge Benhayon has given me all answers about life, religion, music, the Universe, time, God, where we come from, why there is evil on Earth and everything I ever wanted to know. I still have questions, many of them, but Serge has shown me a way to live that delivers me the answers I need for my daily life and duties and to let go of the questions that are mere mental distractions to lead me astray.
Serge Benhayon encourages everybody to a) ask questions and he presents the art of how to ask the right questions, and b) to live in a way that unveils the answers inside of us that are living there from beginning of time and beyond. Thanks for asking true questions, Terri-Anne.
Serge Benhayon answers questions that we were not even aware were eating at us because no one was ever able to even touch on the subjects that we wanted to know about… Truth has a resonance, and we know this from very young, and it is the truth that is able to be felt when Serge talks about philosophy, science, medicine, education, music, and all things relevant and pertinent to all of our lives.
Serge Benhayon shows us how to see the light in others beyond any of the unwelcome behaviours. And what a true gift this is.
The hurts make it difficult to let people in, to let each and every person be felt and heard in their vulnerability. This is an ongoing, everyday unfolding of the love that we are.
It is an ‘everyday unfolding’ and what I connected to when I read this was how awesome that the defence and hardness I have worn this life is transforming into love and warmth. Every day I have the opportunity to transform how I connect and hold myself and others.
Terri-Anne, your blog makes a lot of sense to me. The people I have looked up to as role models haven’t been the one who have the highest qualifications or the ones with the most formal power etc. The people I find who are most influential are the people who live ordinary lives with a simple dedication to taking responsibility for themselves and who serve others with honesty and truth, regardless of how it is received at the other end. They walk their talk and that is very powerful to feel and observe.
What a great blog to read Terri-Anne, totally pin pointing the essence of what it feels like to be truly met by Serge Benhayon. In him seeing you, your inner strength and absolute quality… ‘not the details and events of my life which defined me’ – in that moment you get confirmed by recognising yourself as THAT too. The two points you share about learning from the presentations, that 1) everything is energy, and 2) the difference between personality, spirit and soul, answers everything.
The tragic moments in our life are just that – moments. Everyday living is everyday and we should know how to live a vital, healthy, joyfull life, but the majority don’t. These questions you asked Terri-Anne are valid everyday questions that people should be asking and seeking answers to yet I don’t find many people asking.
I can relate to having a lot of unanswered questions with regards to life and there have been many times in my life where I just couldn’t seem to understand why things were happening, but Serge Benhayon has a very natural, no big deal way of answering these questions, and I would like to add that no question is every judged as being silly, stupid or inappropriate, as Serge Benhayon never holds anyone less in any way. It has been my experience that when you talk to him he knows that we already have the answers within us, so he never sees us as lesser than him – this is to be appreciated, as I personally only know of a handful of people in my life who are like this.
Terri Anne, I would have to agree that Serge Benhayon is the only person I know to tell it how it is using love truth and understanding . A lovely sharing of your journey.. I would agree with Marion Hawes absolutely as well. Thank you both.
After re-reading this sharing again today I realised that no matter what I deemed to be a difficult or embarrassing question about life that I put forth to Serge Benhayon – there is never a judgement made or a putting down. Always clear, supportive responses – that further helps me to feel more deeply and expand for myself and, therefore creating a much clearer pathway to further inspire and support my foundation in life. The most amazing, beautiful thing is that I have observed many times over – that EVERYONE is met with this same deep unconditional love that supports our furthering journeys in life. Thank you Terri-Anne for this sharing – this too is an inspiration – Appreciation comes to mind.
I love how you start this blog with what appear to be the bigger thing in life to deal with are ‘easier’ and it is the everyday unanswered questions that are a challenge. As life was going on for me there were more and more of these unanswered questions and it was after just one presentation with Serge Benhayon that life and whats really going on in it started to make sense and this was simply through understanding there is always one of two energies at play. Any searching I was doing stopped at this point as I knew this was where I would find many answers and I did and continue to do so, yet everything is a reawakening of what already lays within.
My search for answers to my questions are now finally over. I have found what I have been looking for, and that’s Serge Benhayon.
I was so looking outside of myself searching constantly for answers to the many questions about why life was feeling so complex and difficult. When I attended my first presentation with Serge Benhayon something resonated deep within that what was being presented felt so true. The turn around from a need to know for a more inner connection to feel and work with what I already had available to me. By making everyday changes little by little introducing simple techniques to ‘nurture my inner qualities’. This has and still is life changing. Thank you Terri-Anne for this inspirational sharing.
It is the issues that we tackle everyday that have the biggest impact of the quality of our life. The quality of how we live allows us to connect to ourselves and those around us.
So true, nicolesjardin, it is all the choices in our day that make the difference, this is the majority of what makes up our lives, the small choices that build up a momentum, a way of being.
Too often we think it the crossroads the big decisions but our ability to make a choice at theses points was precluded by millions of everyday choices.
As I was growing up I also found I had many questions that I felt I was searching for the answer to and that these were available in life if only we are open to them – whenever I found what I considered an answer it seemed fractured, partial or incomplete. When I met Serge Benhayon and attended his presentations I discovered that all of the answers to all the questions I had were there, without gaps, contradictions or bits that didn’t fit – they were complete and full answers that left no doubt. I have also learnt from Serge Benhayon that I was right – the answers are all available in life, it’s just that most of us aren’t taught how to find them or see the lessons presented to us. Such a gift to be shown so much by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
The same for me Michael, many questions about life I had when I was growing up and searching for answers but not being able to get the full answers on them. My first encounter with Serge Benhayon was through his book “the Way it is” and that for me was a coming home. In that book I read all the answers I had about life in clarity and completeness, without any gaps or missing points that I had encountered before. The support I got from Serge Benhayon has helped me to restore the connection with my inner knowing and how to trust these again as while I walked away from this inner knowing I also lost my connection with it that was replaced by feeling insecure in life. Now I know and feel the connection within that helps me to be me in every situation in life I encounter, because I always have this connection of truth where I can return to when I have lost my way a little.
It is evident from reading the blog comments Terri-Anne, that many of us share your appreciation for Serge Benhayon, who has gifted us practical ways that enable us to live each day with awareness and understanding about how life really works.
I can definitely relate to you saying that the only time your questions got answered was with Serge Benhayon. I too have had the same experience.
Great questions Terri-Anne which illustrate that the struggle for most people is in how to cope with the everyday aspects of life because as you say we are usually given strength to get through the big events and then there is the let down when we come back to day-to-day reality and for me the deep loneliness in that. I too questioned that ‘there had to be more to life, there had to be a reason for the suffering and why life could not be simpler’ and found nothing that resonated with me until I attended my first Universal Medicine presentation and was given simple practical tools which I could choose to implement and support me to live my life in a more loving way that is ever evolving.
That universal medicine nutures every individual to heal old hurts, start to embody self-love in simple and practical ways, and offers ancient and practical wisdom to guide one to connect with one’s deep and inner truth reflects that what is being offered here is what humanity truly needs right now.
And now you too inspire many Terri-Anne. You are a very wise and deeply caring woman. Thank goodness you met Serge as we now get to experience your great warmth and love for people.
‘I don’t know of a better way to live than how I am living now’. Couldn’t agree more, Terri-Anne. Serge Benhayon has brought the possibility of living much more simply and profoundly, truthfully and harmoniously to many.
Yes Cathy Hackett. There are many who have chosen to put into practice the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Reminding us that discerning and feeling the lived example from another brings the potential and inspiration to many in living a simple and joyous way.
I loved reading your blog Terri-Anne. It is amazing as I read through your bullet points that the work I have done with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine answers all those questions – and more. There is a forever deepening and honouring that we can go to with ourselves, with everyone in our lives and those who we come across in our day to day travels.The inspiration comes from first being met for who we truly are, and this is also what happened for me when I met Serge Benhayon.
I totally concur Terri-Anne –
“Everything is energy – therefore everything is because of energy, and
We all have a personality, a spirit and a soul.” Learning about these two things from Serge’s presentations has changed my life, it has also bought in responsibility and accountability, both of which were sorely lacking when I just wanted to blame the world and God for all the suffering, mine and others. It never ceases to amaze me that Serge Benhayon’s presentations are always apt to me at the time that I am listening to them.
The simplicity of your search exposes the complexity that we have made this world Terri-Anne. Serge Benhayon has shown the way to unfold the truth of us all inside and present that to the world as inspiration.
That is so true what you say Lee, that we are making life complex and complicated while in fact this is only because we resit to go with the flow of life because we have lost our connection with it. Instead of simply live the flow of life with all the universal rhythms and cycles we are part of, we have created a way of living where we are fed with images that pre-define our lives without considering our connection with the universe and all that we belong to. We have separated ourselves from the grandness where we belong to and reduced ourselves to small creations of our own imagination.
Serge Benhayon supports who we truly are in a way many of us have never experienced and with an unwavering love and consistency that I have found to be unmatched. There is a knowingness inside of us that the world rejects and to have our knowingness confirmed is the greatest blessing ever.
I agree Terri-Anne Serge Benayon answers all the questions, even those unasked, and more, with a love and simplicity that my whole body registers as the absolute truth. At no other time in my life have I felt this deep sense of knowing. Like you, after a long search, finally finding someone who understood, who cared, who made sense of even the small things in life, who seemed to love me more than I loved myself and held that same love for all others equally so was, at least, phenomenal. Serge shares his ever deepening living truth with an unwavering dedication to humanity and brotherhood. “Everything is energy therefore everything is because of energy.” There is much for us all to consider in this one statement, there is so much more to be gained if we understand it and live it.
Serge Benhayon touched my life in the same way as he seems to have touched yours too Terri-Anne. I would sit for hours at the beach and look out at the ocean, seeing it was vast, knowing it was powerful, and somehow feeling similar qualities in myself, but I couldn’t put it into words. Within 5 minutes of the first presentation I went to by Serge, I knew what came from him was the truth and it too was vast and powerful. The connection I felt was immense and I felt like shouting ‘This is it!’ My questions were answered too.
Totally agree Suzanne.
I am with you both Suzanne and Heidi! I spent a number of decades looking for answers knowing there was so much more but not knowing where to find it, only to realise after meeting Serge Benhayon that the answers were always within… What a home-coming and what wisdom always comes from within.
What a beautiful sharing with us all Terri-Anne – When my list of ‘what if’s’ get too big I go into overwhelm and everything becomes heavy and somewhat complex to work with. To stop and connect to that stillness inside of me really breaks those old patterns of behaviour – then the true discernment of what is going on and how to move forward just flows with ease. Until, another of life’s challenges comes along! – but that’s ok as now I have the ‘tools’ to work with and a known inner strength to guide me.
I have also found that when life events become severe I have an inner strength to deal with anything, no matter what, but as your list demonstrates there are the every day things which add up to the quality of our overall life, which can be challenging and need attention also. Some of the things on your list may be overlooked or dismissed as unimportant but more and more each day I am finding that having too many little things chipping away at me during the day, does affect my overall state of well-being.
It is beautiful what you have shared here Terri-Anne. We humans can tend to complicate things and in that complication withdraw our support when others need it the most simply because we don’t know what to say or do that will make everything better immediately. From your blog I have been reminded that when people have a traumatic or significant event happen in their lives it is actually the simple ‘everyday things’ that they need support in, their own basic physical cares and how to constantly reconnect to who they are, their qualities and innate strength.
That’s very interesting how it was the everyday detail of life that was more challenging than getting over large upheavals. The upheavals are transient pain whereas the every day life pain is something that really needs a deep understanding and consistency of commitment to change to overcome.
I certainly did not get the answers to these questions as I was growing up nor as an adult and I was asked for them continually by others. We managed but the real answers only came when I began to feel the truth about energy. I realised that everything is because of energy so the quality of energy I choose determines everything. It is in the actual living of that on a continual basis with ever growing awareness that makes our lives truly different. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine support us to feel more clearly the truth of energy.
“Serge Benhayon was the first person who actually listened to me and understood where I was coming from.” I can totally agree Terri-Ann, I had been looking for love and understanding all my life, like yourself I tried many avenues in my search for answers, and no one, or no thing, came close to the truth. Serge Benhayon showed me absolute love, and expressed to me in total equalness, he understood me, something I had not experienced in my life until my meeting him.
We have so many nicely packaged ‘solutions’ offered in this world but none really serves as the answer, they only offer a temporary relief at best – and I was trapped in that very co-dependent supply & demand cycle for a while. The Ageless Wisdom presented by Serge Benhayon pulls me out of that two dimensionality (problem x solution) and “Everything is energy – therefore everything is because of energy” and “We all have a personality, a spirit and a soul” have allowed me to understand the world in a more whole-encompassing way.
Terri-Anne, your inner knowing and strength are clearly felt.
Yes having those questions on life and how to get through the basic things that we come up against every day has been the biggest blessing. Through the understanding we make different choices that support us more. We also decide what is right for us based on what we need as opposed to what someone else expects us to do. Life is definitely easier and lighter.
Well said Terri-Ann. Thank you for sharing. It’s great that you brought to light that when you have searched before what you have got were people trying to tell you what they know or what’s wrong with you rather then just listening to what you need. The way Serge Benhayon was with you sounds incredible, you can tell the adoration in your writing. I find too that when the everyday things are taken care of, everything else is easier to manage.
Fantastic Terri-Anne. For me to understand that all along that inner strength encompassed my personality, spirit and soul was enormous – it was my connection to the bigger picture, to God and also to my own expression of that. It was my connection to knowing the truth in everything. How I had downplayed this for so many years. To now develop this connection to live my life, as inspired and presented by Serge Benhayon, has transformed my life to totally honour, celebrate and appreciate the amazingness of who I am and the glory of the love we are connected to and from.
‘There had to be more to life…….’ This is such a great post Terri Anne. My questions were finally answered too when I came across Universal Medicine. Everything presented to me made so much sense it was like, yes I know this! like all the pieces of the jigsaw of life finally slotted into place.
It is true, the apparently small movements, choices and activities that we undertake in life can either be deeply supportive or completely disruptive and unsupportive. I found hearing Serge Benhayon share “Everything is energy – therefore everything is because of energy…” deeply supportive, it was a light bulb moment for me, yes I feel that this is true, and so I felt there is a choice to made here, very empowering. My life shifted because I was empowered to shift it.
brilliant Sharing Terri-anne. Serge Benhayon sure does encourage you to be who you are and to bring out the inner qualities that we have. He has a way of lovingly speaking to the part of us that we know is amazing and the other parts seem so insignificant because they don’t belong to the amazingness we are.
Good to realize that “the big things” in our life are actually the every day little things happen constantly. How we are with us and others on an everyday bases set the ton for everything. Every moment, every breath, every choice counts.
Thanks Terri-Anne. Through his understanding and wisdom, Serge provides confirmation of what we feel is true.
Terri-Anne, like you I also found that it was the “everyday things that challenged me more than those big, painful and traumatic events”. In the latter one finds an inner strength to get through and others are there to support. The everyday things are just life which we have to navigate every day. As with you, it was not until I met Serge Benhayon and attended his presentations that I started to become more aware of what was important and “how to best deal with the everyday life things”.
Yes, I have to say it’s been the same for me Anne.
Beautifully said Terri-Anne thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Great Blog Terri-Anne, knowing that all is energy, therefore everything is because of energy and knowing about soul, spirit and personality is rather big and such a huge help in understanding the way we are and how things work. The tools shared by Serge Benhayon make life so much simpler.
Thank you Terri-Anne and kevmchardy. I agree, the absolute dedication of Serge Benhayon shared through a Livingness “makes life much simpler.” The way in which there is an understanding of who we truly are by sharing the truth about soul, spirit and personality makes common sense about what is happening in all our lives!
“no one had encouraged me to nurture my inner qualities and support me to deal with the everyday life things”. This statement sums up so much about what is on offer when you listen to Serge Benhayon and his presentations. It is the quality that is the most important factor. It is not actually what you are doing but the quality you are doing it in. That is a game changer. And it is in the finer details that life can be changed from and a change that is sustainable. It is the commitment to everyday life and the awareness that much freedom can come from. Powerful blog Terri-Anne – thank you.
Terri-anne i really enjoyed reading your blog – I felt the truth of your inner knowing and discerment in your life with all your questions, serge is a amazing man that holds us all to get to our truths that are all ready there in our bodies waiting to be connected to and to express.
Thank you Terri-Anne, indeed Serge Benhayon’s ability to truly listen and be there for you is such a healing and it allows one to surrender and heal what’s been holding one back.
This is a lovely sharing.
Your Blog has confirmed for me what I have felt and observed in others during my life time. There are things/situations developing and playing out in the lives of all people all of the time- some that may be considered minor and some that may be considered major. Underlying all of these things, I have observed and appreciated an inner essence in others that comes through strongly. I have felt this in myself, an inner knowing of the truth that is unfolding. Serge Benhayon has presented on the fact that to connect to this inner essence, connect to who we truly are and the truth is there. Thank you for sharing the questions which exposed all the things many old, long held ideals and beliefs, which have been established by society to disconnect us from who we are. The place in us which holds an inner wisdom and confirms what we know to be true.
Terri-Anne when I saw you and heard you talk a few days ago and I felt again that steadiness and peacefulness whenever I see you at Universal Medicine meetings. Thank you for sharing your evolvement.
The world is not a simple place if you are always looking for the WHY answers out side of yourself. Serge Benhayon has made the quest for answers simple… we but need to feel in our bodies what is truth.
Terri -Anne I can feel a real strength and fragility in what you are expressing here. Often the media and we as individuals focus on the big dramas in life which are certainly challenging but as you say it is the other and often less talked about questions which need to be answered in order for us to find true joy and love for life and for ourselves. There is much for me to ponder here.
No teachers I had known before meeting Serge Benhayon were able to answer the deeper questions I had about life, how energy works, why I felt the things I felt, who I am and where I am from. Some teachers gave mystical answers but they never fooled me as it was clear they no real answers were given and there was no equalness felt. I found many answers to questions I did not even know I had in the books Serge Benhayon has written, but the most beautiful experience I have when I am around him is that my questions seem to fade for his being allows me to connect to an inner part of me that is equally wise and knowing, a part of me that holds all the answers.
It felt amazing reading your blog Terri-Anne and feeling your inner wisdom and strength.
I found it interesting what you said about the big traumatic events and how we get through them, but need help with the smaller day to day things like food and sleep. These are our foundations, and a vitally important platform that we need to have in place, to stand on so we can connect deeply to ourselves.
‘Serge Benhayon was the first person who actually listened to me and understood where I was coming from.’ Yep I agree. Serge Benhayon meets me and has met me more than I have done with myself in my life. He has oooodles of Love for everyone, and meets all people in this way, with many loving them more than they love themselves. He is a true friend and role model, an absolute inspiration and shining star and has helped me and many others get back on track loving and looking after ourselves in a way we have all longed for.
Hi Terry-Anne, Great blog, ‘Everything is Energy’ in itself was a momentous step forward but then add the ‘therefore everything is because of energy’ which brings a deepening and expanding to the truth. So every single thing I do comes about from energy – but my choice – it makes complete sense to me that there would be a way to discern how I live and make choices based on discernment. Thank you
Teri-Anne, this was so beautiful to read today. Such a strong and steady voice sharing so simply what I have also come to know.
I agree Terri-Anne Serge Benhayon is so confirming of what we know is true. Whenever I am in doubt, confused, hesitant and I speak with Serge he is always so confirming of the loving woman that I am and my inner-strength – in the way he speaks and the wisdom that he shares, without providing any answers. He so encourages you to be who we truly are and shares tools so that we can hold that in the world around us.
Coming to understand that “everything is energy – therefore everything is because of energy” changed my life. It provided a real understanding and answer to questions that I had about my own life and life in general.
Isn’t it wonderful to meet someone who confirms what you for long already knew? This is what comes up when I read this blog again. I had the same experience when meeting Serge Benhayon for the first time. What blew me away was the level of energetic integrity and energetic responsibility I encountered with this man. Yes, everything is energy. If you apply that to daily life it means: love all you meet, let them in, appreciate yourself, take genuine care of your body and many much more. Actually all the answers to the questions you had Terri-Anne. Very simple answers, but….when you meet someone who lives it, it is a different ball game. It is meeting Life in Full.
Totally agree with the questions you ask Terri-Anne as being some of the most important ones, the ones that, when answered by Serge Benhayon, made a massive difference to how I felt about, and understood, everyday life. The love and strong voice you have for humanity Terri-Anne comes through in this blog so naturally when you write as it is you simply expressing the true, connected, beautiful you.
Terri-Anne likewise I’ve always felt that something did not make sense about the world, I would ponder the bigger questions about my purpose, the reason for life and why I felt I knew more than was generally spoken about. However I had come to accept the small things as the way they were, after time the fact i could not sleep was normal, the fact people drunk something I once vowed I would never do and then did – became normal. But I still had questions about what it all meant. The only person that I met who had a true answer for this was Serge Benhayon – to finally be able to have a true discussion that felt honouring of all the feelings I held in my body since a child felt like finally I had met someone that completely saw not only what I felt and more but who had the strength to stand there and live that in a world where I’d not seen anyone else do it.
Thank you Terri-Anne for a great blog. When I first heard Serge speak I knew this was what I had been looking for all my life -I had, at last, come home.
Absolutely Jill Steiner, Agree all the way.I hear Serge Benhayon speak, and straight away I recognised that thing within myself I was looking for. A re-connection to a palpable feeling ‘ that we are devine’.
A pleasure to read Terri-Anne. Serge Benhayon has inspired many and provided a better understanding to our purpose for being here, but our individual unfoldment and learning is an ongoing process.
A remarkable sharing encapsulating the breadth of human suffering and the inner unrest that dissolves from the answering of life’s questions and an absolute appreciation of Serge Benhayon and what he presents. This was an honour to read. Serge’s understanding of life is incredible and the number of lives inspired because of what he shares and the love and support he offers is unfathomable.
I very much agree Samatha Westall.
Very true Samantha, Serge’s understanding of life is grand and the love and equalness he offers are supporting me in ways I am not always fully allowing myself to feel.
It goes to show that not everyone will like what Serge Banhayon shares, but those that can hear it, are inspired to the core to eventually do just the same and further inspire people. It’s the greatest pyramid scheme ever invented!
Ha ha Oliver never thought there would be a positive pyramid scheme but the ripple effect of true inspiration is what is sorely needed by humanity.
I agree Samantha, Serge Benhayon’s understanding of life has no ceiling – and the number of lives he inspires grows and grows each day as people are awakened to the truth and love that is innately in us all. By example Serge shows us this love can be lived on a practical day to day basis, and as extraordinary as it may seem, he makes living lovingly in every moment simply ordinary.
No one in the world (except Serge Benhayon) is talking about who we truly are, everyone is willing to tell us how to solve problems, how to improve life, be successful etc, yet for me something profound was missing with all these approaches. They never included me. It wasn’t until I found Universal Medicine that started to connect to me and feel “full”, prior to that there was an emptiness and with it a searching, including for answers which no one had. It’s quite astonishing to meet Serge Benhayon because what he presents makes so much sense to me, plus I’m reconnected to myself self in a way that is utterly joyful and loving. This is the biggest answer we are all seeking – the true self.
I recognized the feeling of a big shift when I met Serge Benhayon. What he said eased my whole being on a deep level -like a connection to something I knew, only I hadn’t seen it reflected around me. Just like you, I had been ‘seeking answers’. I ‘found’ they often partly answered my questions and then often something in me said ‘it’s time to move on’. An un-easiness popped up in my body, including my questions. I knew there was more to this life. The teachings of Serge represent a depth and truth that make me feel at home, actually at school, the School of Life where I am an eternal student with great pleasure.
Wow I am feeling so inspired right now Terri- Anne, Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Terri-Anne and I could say ‘ditto’ to all your questions and I got a few more. YES Serge Benhayon gave me the answers and he consistently answers any questions I now have so it sure does give me a deeper understanding about me, others and life.
My days of searching for Truth are well and truly over.
I know what Truth is – thanks to Serge Benhayon who is a role model to the Nth degree for absolute, unwavering Truth.
I have made the choice to Commit to Truth and Live a Life of Truth to the best of my Ability. Truth is Love and Love is God. There is nothing missing in my life now and it really is an incredible way to live everyday.
Agree Bina my days for searching for truth are well and truly over and Serge Benhayon has been the role model for me to set my foundations for now knowing what truth is. It is an ongoing daily learning that has brought a deeper level of understanding of myself, humanity and life and I would not change it for the world.
I love that truth and love offer an ongoing daily learning Alison. Everyday offers us the opportunity as you said, to deepen our level of understanding of ourselves, humanity and life. An ever expanding awareness that as it grows brings more joy and wisdom.
Discerning is a beautiful word and a beautiful quality. How many people suspend their life when something tragic occurs and start focusing only on it? Everything else loses saliency. I find it really awesome that you could never lose sight of the everyday questions that you wanted to be able to answer. There is a beautiful solidness from where you write. An amazing expression.
Great blog Terri-Anne – I feel it is so important to never stop asking these everyday questions or accept them as just something that we are supposed to live with. For me, Serge Benhayon also is the only one to truly address and bring understanding to all of these questions and more. Thank you for sharing.
Terri-Anne I felt the same when I met Serge – someone who finally knew the answers, and someone who also finally confirmed everything I had always known and felt was true.
Yes Meg, also for me… FINALLY someone was confirming what I could feel was true but that the entire world seemed to be in mass denial about.
SO true Meg and Annie, what a joy to hear you say this !
I had the same experience Meg, it was a deep knowing within myself that I had finally found truth.
I also was met with the truth I had finally found and had always known , thank you Terri-Anne for your words and for you just being you.
Wow, palpably powerful blog Terri-Anne, you write with such clarity and strength, thank you deeply.
I have given a few things like books and spiritual healing a go, and hoped they would be the magic wand and whilst they weren’t, there was a part of me that didn’t believe there was such a thing anyway. I knew there was more to it all, but I was resigned to believing that the world was messed up, and none of us knew why and we probably would never know.
Listening to presentations by Serge Benhayon has absolutely changed all that and opened me up to asking more questions, because finally things made sense. All this information felt like stuff I’d heard so so long ago, it didn’t feel new. I knew this stuff, I knew why the world was where it was at and I knew it was possible for it to be different.
So many of us know there is another way, we just ignore the inner knowing because so little of our knowing is being supported by how we live today, and the society we have collectively created.
I agree Elodie, Serge Benhayon confirms what we already know, that there is another way to live and to be, but we have buried our clairsentience because our knowing was not honoured or confirmed to us in the world.Thank you Terri-Anne for writing about your search for truth and the answers and understanding and wisdom that you have found.
I find it great to read that every answer on the questions in the blog is inside of us and building the love for who we truly are, and acknowledge what we are bringing in this world. The amazing things Serge Benhayon presents.
We all have a long list of things we want to know why they are the way they are in life but what if we did not need anyone else to give us the answers but simply inspire us to remember what we already know about life including those great two facts of life that you have mentioned Terri- Anne? And this has been my experience of Serge Benhayon- always encouraging and helping me develop my own knowing rather than him trekking me how to live.
To know that there is someone who can see and feel the inner essence of us – to feel appreciated for who we are – is an enormous opportunity for healing. Thank you for sharing your experience of this and how much you have allowed this to change your life. It is very inspiring.
Awesome blog Terri-Anne. I love that you were asking those questions, where most of us were probably just carrying on with life assuming that was normal – and accepting it.
Thank you Terri-Anne for sharing you. Everything you share is relatable, perhaps slightly different pictures but I can join you in stating how different my life is from meeting Serge Benhayon. I understand life more than ever before and how to live in the world with basic principles such as self-care, love, truth, harmony, stillness and joy.
YUP, Serge Benhayon is a pretty terrific guy! True philosopher, true gentle man, true friend.
There is so much authority in your expression here Terri-Anne as you point to the truth that it is our everyday experiences and questions that undo us the most. It exposes how prior to Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon presenting the truth, that many of us have felt powerless, frustrated, confused and unsupported in dealing with life. In fact we were just that “dealing” with life rather than living our lives. What you have expressed reveals that Universal Medicine empowers one to begin to consider that perhaps it is our choices, their quality and our love of self that has an amazing effect on the life we live. I know myself that what Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon offer is unique and life changing because no where else have I ever felt such truth, integrity and love in my life. Thank you for sharing your experience Terri-Anne.
It is true when times are tough, you know you are going to get through it. The support around you is very reassuring and welcomed, however the everyday stuff which doesn’t cause alarm can be the most damaging of all.
Through learning and practicing the few simple ‘answered questions’ you have stated above, I too have been able to feel more solid within my choices and life.
Terri-Anne, your questions may have been simple but they were also very poignant. Serge Benhayon’s ability to answer some of life’s biggest questions in a way that makes complete sense has helped me to finally bring a life long “search” for truth to an end.
Beautifully expressed Terri-Anne
Thank you for posing the questions about life and everyday living and for highlighting the fact that the teachings of Universal Medicine provide the answers
Your blog is inspiring and full of wisdom
For me religion always had to make sense to the practicalities of life, and for the first time I can say that I have finally found a religion that does just that. Thank you Serge Benhayon for confirming what I always knew deep down to be true, and thank you Terri-Anne for expressing your appreciation in kind so publicly.
It is indeed interesting what you say Teri-Anne about the difference between how we are with those ‘big events’ and everyday decisions. Things become very ‘black and white’ at those times when we suddenly find ourselves in ‘crisis’. Whereas in everyday situations we often have a myriad of options with lots of ‘grey’ areas. And more often than not, things are ‘okay’ so there is very little reason to really look at the situation and make a change. Yet it is in the everyday where true change is most powerful and where real answers are found. Thanks for this honest and very meaningful blog.
Thank you for sharing your story and your appreciation of Serge Benhayon, which I share completely. Two of the things I love the most is the simplicity of life, it really doesn’t have to be complicated, and also the common sense about life. What Serge presents is very logical in a very illogical world.
Beautifully put Andrew, and thank you Terri-Anne. For the first time in my life I am able to experience and feel the love being offered by others and I feel it for myself first.
It is a great point you make here Terri-anne, that the help we often most need is with the everyday – seemingly little stuff, on how to deal with the things that come up in everyday life. I loved all the points you made here and can relate to many, and I am sure there are many more struggling with the same questions. Thank you for asking them, and thank you for showing us there is a way to answer those questions that are not truly answered anywhere else.
It is incredibly rare in this life that these questions can be answered. That list that you wrote about it, is a list that plagues human life. We – as a human race- have given so much time (and money) seeking answers to these questions (and more) and have been kept on a perpetual spinning hamsters wheel going no-where. A very common expression is “that is just life” and as I type this I realise that that question can often be followed with “isn’t it?”….so even making that statement we still ask a question. Serge Benhayon and the presentations of Universal Medicine are the only ones that I – and by reading your blog and the ensuing comments yourself and many others – that truly has the answers to these questions. And that these answers have been peppered throughout history by previous philosophers of the Ageless Wisdom. The answers are always there but it takes a level of living and true seeking to find them.
Thank you Terri-Anne for your confirmation in developing our inner qualities is where our true intelligence resides.
My experience with Serge Benhayon is that he is a deeply loving man who absolutely cares and confirms what I already know but also brings me back on the path of truth when I tend to have lost the road. Through his love and being absolutely there for me my life has deeply changed and continues to do so.
Thanks Terri-Anne, I trekked the globe several times over knowing SOMEONE must know the truth of all this insanity in the world. Having checked out just about everyone and everything, and always finding something unsatisfactory or just plain wrong, I was beginning to lose heart. Then I met Serge and knew finally that here was someone who did make sense of it all, and not only that, but confirmed to me that I too knew, and all those feelings I had discounted because they didn’t fit with the world, were actually the truth of who I am. How great is that to come home to.
Awesome Annie, it certainly is great to come home to.
Wunderbare Annie C I agree because for me it was the same like you describe in your comment. For me it was the stillness I felt in my body after getting this confirmation that felt like eventually I am home.
Yes Esteraltmiks, the coming home to stillness is pure joy. 🙂
What a gorgeous written blog Terri-Anne. As I was reading through the questions you asked, I was saying yep, I’ve asked that or yep, I want to know the answer to that. In fact there was not one question their that I couldn’t relate to, in fact I would suggest that most people would ask those question at some point in their life. How simple is the approach suggested by Serge Benhayon to nurture your inner qualities which will in turn support your everyday life.
Hi Terri-Anne, there is so much wisdom and real sharing in your blog. I particularly liked this quote: “It was Serge who showed me it was the inner strength and knowing which was worth encouraging and talking about, that THAT is who I am – that it is not the details and events of my life which defined me.” I’ve found it very easy to identify with the details and events of my life, but as you say, we are not that and we are so much more. Very inspiring blog.
“Everything is energy – therefore everything is because of energy” – coming to understand this on an everyday basis has quite literally changed my life. When I first heard Serge Benhayon speak about it I felt it made so much sense and explained so many things that had occurred in my life up to that point that I did not understand. It has also allowed me to take far greater responsibility for my choices, which is very freeing.
Thank you Terri-Anne! I am sure like myself there are many that would like to know the answers to your questions and I have also to this day only found Serge Benhayon who could truly answer them in a way that makes completely sense to me.
Thank you Terri-Anne. “It was these everyday things that challenged me more”, I can very much relate to this. It has not so much been the ‘big things/events’ in life that have challenged me, more so however the little everyday practicalities and simply everyday life, the things that happen in-between, that confused me as we do not give them much care and importance in this world. Serge Benhayon was the first I heard presenting that the little things in life actually matter greatly and that in fact everything matters. And this makes so much sense, because how can I sustain the ‘big events’ or any ‘event’ in life if I do not have a solid foundation to stand on, a solid foundation of putting attention to detail in everything that I do, that then carries me through the day.
I can very well relate to that Esther.
Universal Medicine and the presentations by Serge Benhayon inspired me to really feel that the seemingly little things in life are in fact the basis on which everything else is built. Realizing that life is not about achieving big things in the future, but about committing to every detail in every moment has been a big change to my life and my well-being.
I like your list of everyday questions and relate to them. I feel very inspired and supported by Serge Benhayon in dealing with the everyday day life things. I have made many positive changes because of this.
This clearly highlights the power of meeting someone for who they truly are and not just what they know, or can do. Confirmation that we all do know the simple truths in life, we sometimes just need a reminder of that fact.
Beautifully put Josh
Yes, absolutely true Josh. The love that Serge Benhayon is, and lives consistently in his life, confirms the truth of this within us, and reminds us that we know this love within us also, and can live it as he does.
Terri -Anne your experience with Serge Benhayon presenting common sense and simple answers to the questions in life has also been the case for me. It was a defining moment for me to understand the difference between the spirit and our souls as I thought they were one and the same. Since that moment my life and understanding of life has expanded and continues to do so each day!
A guide to life. The “How To”. I know I will get through and yes I know I am being supported. I love the way you have presented as simple guide to so many questions.
When I met Serge Benhayon I met someone who saw the world like I always had. To be able to talk about energy and discernment with someone who is so real about it – no airy fairy la la talk was a pivotal turning point in my life. Along with presentations of simple, healthy lifestyle, Serge Benhayon has taught me how to hone my sensitivity, discern all of the things I feel and observe them rather than take them all into my body.
Your blog is so true Terri, I resonate with everything you have written and how lucky are we to have come into contact with Serge Benhayon
Those 2 points you make, about everything being energy, and everyone having a spirit, soul and personality – were groundbreaking for me too. It makes so much sense that everything is energy, everything is connected and as Serge Benhayon presents – everything is because of energy. But I’d been running from that my whole life and ignoring that simple fact.
And to understand how soul and spirit now work also offers me huge insights into what people do versus who they are (first).
Yes I have discovered that too Terri-Anne – Serge Benhayon is the only person I have met that truly has the answers. It is so liberating to have found it and to realise that it was also within me the whole time.
Thank you Terri-Anne, I love how you have presented that some of the simplest things in life can have ongoing effects on us, which in the long run can be quite big. All the questions you had about all the everyday stuff – and how this is how we live. Yes, the bigger dramas we all need to learn to handle with grace, but life’s little lessons are just as important and no lesser.
You are such a strong woman Terri-Anne, i’ve always known that about you. There is a great point in this blog and that is to actually encourage peoples strengths and their qualities, it’s a gentle reminder of who they are so they don’t need to fall in the confusion and frustration.
Well said Ariel.
Terri-Ann, the list of questions about everyday things that you have written would be understood, and resonated with, by literally millions and millions of people around the world.
That you have so simply and honestly written about this is wonderful , and how that, with the reflection of truth that Serge Benhayon offers to everyone, you have been able to find the connection with your true self, and to build a life that is inspiring for others.
This is indeed the story that needs to be told again and again, how it is possible to nurture our inner qualities and to develop and be stronger in our everyday life.
Thanks Terri-Anne for your blog. What Serge Benhayon presents makes lots of sense and has for me too answered a lot of unanswered questions.
Thank you.
Serge allows you to see that how he lives with his love is equal and present in you also.
Lovely expression Terri-Anne!
I had never been encouraged to ask any question’s I had about life, something would be told to me and I would always end up thinking but that just doesn’t make sense why is it like that? who said that? always being cautious not to say it out allowed, in fear of being told that I was wrong or stupid. In the time I have been involved with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine not once have I experienced any of the above but the complete opposite where I have been encouraged to unlock the vault of questions that I have.
Terri-Anne, I realised while reading your blog that it true for me also that it has been the little things that I have found the hardest to deal with and the most elusive to answer -up until the time I came upon Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. I now feel like I have a beacon of light there supporting and guiding me as I approach my life with more understanding and appreciation.
Thank you Terri-Anne, I too used to define myself according to traumatic past events in my life, always questioning why life was so difficult. It was not until I attended the presentations by Serge Benhayon that everything started to make sense and the penny dropped and that was to nurture my own connection, I had experienced this many times before when I felt that no matter how painful the situation I was in there was a knowingness I was going to be ok at the end. Today I live my life knowing that no matter what comes my way I can handle it to the best of my ability, it’s gold!
Serge Benhayon is the most consistent person I know. This bears out in the day-to-day, in that while Serge has always been available in a crisis he is also consistently present in the day-to-day of living. You’re right, Terri-Anne when you say that it is everyday living that is the hard slog. Serge has inspired me to find my own key to living a consistent and present life full of love. It’s so lovely to find answers that make the everyday a treasure and an opportunity rather than a hard slog.
Hi Terri-Anne, thanks for your article. You make the point very well, that to be defined by our pain and sadness, is to really miss the point. I appreciate you addressing the everyday situations that confront us all and how we can, with grace and love get on with our lives in a way that reflects vitality and livingness. The work Serge Benhayon presents offers the complete picture.
I agree whole-heartedly Terri-Anne. How much more enriched are our lives when we understand what is going on ‘behind the scenes’ so to speak. And to realise that while yes, there is always ‘room for improvement’, that this is not only ok, it is how things are supposed to be here in this Earth life.
Terri-Anne, understanding those two points changes everything, when I look back it was indeed all the smaller things that got on top of me, feeling tired, not sleeping, issues with relationships and people including not feeling fulfilled in myself. As you point out the big stuff I could cope with – pull through somehow. Today having my questions also answered and with a deeper understanding of the smaller things is what has been most supportive.
I feel exactly the same way about having questions answered Terri-Anne. All my life I had philosophical questions that no one had the answers for. Some tried, but it was never IT, mostly it was a guess or a bit of a stab in the dark. Serge Benhayon not only helped me to develop strength within myself and connect with who I am in truth, he has always answered every question I have ever had to my complete satisfaction – now that is truly something.
Thank you Terri-Anne. To nurture and develop that inner strength by learning to deal with everyday life. This is so powerful and life changing.
Stunning Terri-Anne. I love how you speak so eloquently, of how we do, mostly, deal with the ‘big stuff’ – yet it is in the living of life, and the aftermath of perhaps shocking events, that we are left with ourselves. And faced with how we are ‘then’, in the day to day…
I also found in the past, that though I was strong on so many levels, it wasn’t until I came to an esoteric healing session with Serge Benhayon, and eventually to study courses and workshops with Universal Medicine, that I have really got to know – within me – what it means to have a true and solid foundation for life. One that holds me steady, where my body and being can actually meet all that transpires in a day, and every day, and pretty consistently and amazingly so, I have to say.
What Serge has brought to us, and continues to share with so many is ABSOLUTE GOLD – all the keys we could ever need to getting back in touch with ourselves and nurturing the loving and solid foundation to which I have referred.
In you, I can feel this Terri-Anne, and I love the way you have expressed it so.
Victoria. I fully endorse your comments. Absolute Gold is definitely what Serge has bought and that learning curve he helped me achieve to go forward in life.
Agreed Mike. This cannot be said enough, can it!
There is an absolute benchmark for unwavering, consistent love and truth in this world, and Serge Benhayon has set it in full. We are all so blessed to be so inspired, and step towards our own way of expressing with such power – true power, holding the love of all people in our hearts.
It’s so true what you say about the simple practicalities in life.. and about Serge Benhayon. If you put this much focus into the way you live, it is no wonder that it always feels like an absolute treat spending time with you.
It is a concern that there are so many counselors, psychiatrists, self-helps books…that actually do nothing but help us to continue spinning the confusing web around ourselves. In my experience, I convinced myself that I was working on my self development but in truth I was going nowhere. And also in my experience, it wasn’t until I met Serge Benhayon that I was able to see past my confusing web, clear it all away and come back to the simplicity of me – still a work in progress but a drastic shift from where I was.
Awesome Terri-Anne, I can totally relate to feeling like it’s the simple day-to-day things that I actually need support with, as I was not feeling committed, lovely or joyful consistently. Through my interactions with Serge Benhayon, my questions are always answered, and answered more fully, rounded, and on a large scale and not just a quick- fix answer. For how can there be a quick- fix answer for a topic that is ‘everyday life’? That’s right… there can’t. It has to be an answer that will truly support and assist with developing the self to live a loving way of life that will sustain…. Serge amazingly answers these questions as he lives such a loving way of life consistently.
The revelation of the difference between spirit and Soul was equally as trans-formative for me as what you describe; finally everything made sense, I wasn’t a victim any longer and I started to take responsibility and totally change my life around. And nearly 40 years of depression and general hopelessness flew out the window, literally.
Terri-Anne I could feel the voice of all humanity in your questions and can personally relate to the simplicity of your blog.
Terri-Anne- you have asked the questions that we all have asked and wonder about. In answering these questions Serge Benhayon not only answers them but the energy in how he speaks connects to us at a deeper level, so we can feel the truth of what he is saying in our bodies. Thank you for sharing, Terri-Anne.
Great blog Terri-Anne, wise question, simple answers, healing and living truth.
I love the clear simple way you’ve expressed “we all have a Personality, Spirit and Soul.”
A timely reminder for me of why life can sometimes become over complicated as I remember the complexity of the Personality and Spirt and welcome once again, living form my Soul.
If the explanation is simple, then it is most probably true.
Such is the simplicity of the wisdom so often presented by Serge Benhayon.
Terri-Anne while speaking for yourself you are in fact speaking for humanity. Almost everyone can relate to the everyday being the biggest challenge and most people ask the questions you did. What I love is all that Serge Benhayon has presented that has resonated with you and supported you in truly understanding and getting to the real answers, has done the same for thousands of people worldwide and will continue to do so through the ages.
I whole-heartedly agree Terri-anne. Serge Benhayon truly does listen and he doesn’t just want to help people to look good. This was a deeply inspiring blog.
I absolutely subscribe to what you wrote Terri-Anne, so beautifully put and so true. It was the simplicity that came to my life meeting Serge Benhayon and that finally someone gave me the clues to understand the bigger picture to life and from there I could start to choose differently.
I had many times heard and been told to live true to yourself – however I struggled to claim just who that self truly was, and similarly I couldn’t find anything that really rang true to me as an example … Serge Benhayon provides a reflection of true integrity in every way with absolute consistency and always pays attention to the small details because everything matters. I am now absolutely sure of exactly who I am and how to live impulsed by my soul.
Powerful blog full of the authority that comes from your inner strength Terri-Anne. It’s not uncommon to see people go on an emotional journey following all the traumatic events you touch on at the beginning, letting them be what underpins and shapes their life from that point forward. There is absolutely none of that here, no victim space at all, but a willingness to connect to our inner strength knowing that it is this that puts an end to life’s suffering. Thank you Terri Anne.
Serge Benhayon is a true leader because he’s not about gathering masses, he is there to present to anyone that chooses to come, that the true answers are within us all equally. It is amazing, like you say, that he is the only one, who listened, supported and “showed me it was the inner strength and knowing which was worth encouraging and talking about, that THAT is who I am” – I can completely attest to all that you say. He is deeply inspiring and has Always been there for me, and for us all equally, unwaveringly so. Thank You.
Thank you Terri-Ann for your discerning way and the simple but true questions that are there being experienced by all. They touched a very deep part of me and acknowledged that inner-knowing that also exists in me. It is in this place that Serge Benhayon has also met me and confirmed that the ‘inner strength and knowing’ is who I truly am.
Thank you Terri-Anne, I really enjoyed reading your blog. Like you I too knew there had to be more and I too searched. It was really beautiful reading the questions you were searching for answers for. I could feel the strength in the honour that you had for yourself at that time and this is so very supportive for me to feel, and I thank you deeply for claiming this and writing about it. It has helped me to claim a lot of awareness that I have had as I have lived my life. Honouring that I have always had a deeper understanding; one that for many years I hid and shied away from as it didn’t seem to fit with those around me. One that I am now honouring and loving nurturing, knowing and feeling deeply that to live holding it back is to not really live at all.
Great Blog Terri-Anne. The day to day living is something we are not taught and yet is the most important. It seems we have made small the things that are so big.
Great point, that it is in dealing with the everyday things in life that we develop inner qualities. This is definitely still a work in progress, reciprocally one of bringing more of the inner quality of love into everyday things. This I can feel and this I know to be true -there is always this choice and one feeds back and strengthens and supports the other.
Like many others, I also have gone through some difficult challenges in life, but it is only now since I have started to feel who I am as a tangible feeling in my body, that I feel equipped to take part in life and not be discouraged by the often challenging aspects of life. My life has changed, perhaps not so obviously on the outside, but since I have learned about loving myself through Universal Medicine my inner life has changed enormously. What I feel is beyond words and am humbled by the dedication of Serge Benhayon and other practitioners and students in inspiring many people that it is within us all equally and that we all have the capacity to connect and live from it.
Two great truths to understand in full
1. Everything is energy – therefore everything is because of energy, and
2. We all have a personality, a spirit and a soul.
Terri-Anne the way you have explained how the events that look big and traumatic on the outside don’t rock us like the emotional and personal angst is so clear and insightful. And like you, I feel the power in Serge Benhayon’s way of living with the awareness of energy, knowing we have a choice in every moment, to be guided by our soul or manipulated by the spirit.
I love the honesty in this article, and that most people struggle with the every day activities of life, even just the simple things. I too spent a period of time looking for another way, because I was not happy with how I was living and existing in life. All I can say is Thank God I found Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon, because they present a way that truly works, is truly different, from the core or seed of what is missing. This is clearly reflected to you by observing the way that Serge Benhayon and their family live. They walk the talk.
You have hit the nail on the head with the 2 most fundamental truths that Serge Benhayon shares; everything is energy therefore everything is because of energy; and the fact of the spirit, personality and the soul. When you hear it you know that it is true and life suddenly makes sense. Having this clarity released me from the fog of complication and uncertainty created by all the conflicting advice and the inadequate solutions we are currently offered.
Terri-Ann, the phrase: “there has to be more to life, there had to be a reason for the suffering and why life could not be simpler” inspires me to ponder on this. The question that ‘there has to be more to life’ has emerged in me regularly and the answer to this question always left me unfulfilled – until I met Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine who showed me another way of living; a way of living that is based on building love in whole our body and in all that we do. These presentations inspired me to connect with my body and to build the relationship with my inner knowing. Now I still have these type of questions, but I can find the answers in myself and can make choices based on this and incorporate them in my life, building a body of love. Living like this is simple and does not require any suffering from us, we can enjoy and appreciate the beauty that life truly is.
This is awesome Terri-Anne. I just love the simplicity of ‘saying it how it is’ for you. Serge Benhayon, as you said, is inspiring the development of those inner qualities and consistently answers the questions usually left untouched.
Terri-Anne those questions are the very same I ask myself. Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon workshops are helping me find the answers. Reading people’s experiences is a great help to me. Thank you all.
I completely agree with you Terri, the first time in my life that the knowingness I felt on the inside was matched by what was being said on the outside was when I attended my first Universal Medicine course in 2012 presented by Serge Benhayon. It was like drinking a large glass of cool water on a hot day. Life just seemed to make sense and I had hope again that there was a reason to everything and that I have the power to change how I feel and live at any moment in time. It was the most empowering realisation of my life.
Terri-Anne Thank you for sharing such simple and profound insights into how it does feel to understand living with ourselves everyday. This paragraph captures an essence that is very true for me:
“ That is what I had been missing and the fact that nothing and no one had encouraged me to nurture my inner qualities and support me to deal with the everyday life things. That is what I needed help with. This explained the suffering, and why life was not simpler. I don’t know of a better way to live than how I am living now based on all of what Serge has inspired and encouraged in me.”
Such a beautiful blog Terri Anne and so true. I have come to realise that what Serge Benhaoyon offers is a mirror, constantly holding it up, confirming who you are and what you know. His answers come from the same place we all have access to and that is within our inner heart. One day, through inspiration we will all come to a point where we realise we are all one and the same, no-one knows more than another and we are all here to serve.
As Terri-Anne has shared, Serge Benhayon is the first person in my life who has truly presented answers, answers that are all-encompassing, sensible, show how so many events and things are connected and meaningful. Answers that fill in the blanks that have never been filled, notwithstanding all the amazing scientists and philosophers I’ve known who had sprinklings of disconnected answers. With Serge as a role model and supporter my ‘big picture’ got way bigger and continues to do so.
I too can relate to everything you have shared Terri-Anne. Serge Benhayon inspired me from day one. I can still remember my first ever workshop with him. I left thinking that I could not fault him. I didn’t realise until I met Serge that I too was feeling and discerning all the people that I met. Now I know that what I was feeling the first time I listened to Serge Benhayon was everything that he lived. Not the details but an overall feeling of a level of integrity and responsibility I had not previously felt in anyone.
Thank you Terri-Ann for this clear and open sharing. I love how you put perspective to the (traumatic) things that happen in our lives, this is not who we are. And how tremendously the practical everyday questions (I can relate to many you wrote down) influence our lives and how much wisdom we have inside.
Yes, it is wonderful how people come together to support each other in times of crisis but it’s true that few know how to support us ‘to deal with the everyday life things’. Serge Benhayon and his daughter Natalie have helped so many of us to nurture ‘our inner qualities’ and establish a consistent rhythm as a foundation to support us to not get drained by the daily rounds. It’s no longer a pursuit of selfish goals – life has a greater purpose. What might have seemed to have been problems to avoid, now are seen as challenges to face, which are easily overcome by addressing them and getting on with life, as there is much need for what we have to share with others and the world at large.
I can totally relate to what you say- thank you for pointing out what is really important to be answered in life.
Such a great blog Terri-Anne. I can really relate to how the big things in life give us inner-strength and connect us to the much bigger picture. For some this brings us closer to God and loved ones. These are often turning points in people’s lives but I am feeling that it is such a shame that we wait for these huge events to connect ourselves to each other and God. We have neglected the day to day and cruise through life on auto pilot. But what if the quality of our daily living brought us closer to this sense of wonder and feeling of there being something much bigger than the daily hum-drum at play. Serge Benhayon presents that all of life matters and the seemingly inconsequential details all have meaning, the quality and energy that we live life all have an effect. It has brought back a magic and sparkle to my life and is a joy to behold.
I found this a very interesting take on things as my life has been very similar with a significant amount of traumatic events. What you say is true, we do move on from them, it is the simpler, day to day is what we need support with. I too found many answers after meeting Serge Benhayon and listening to his presentations. What he says, makes so much sense.
Terri Anne the support you received from Serge Benhayon is similar to the support I and many others have received and is paramount to how my life is today. Your words ring very true when you say, ” Serge Benhayon was the first person who actually listened to me and understood where I was coming from. It was Serge who recognised in me that inner knowing and inner strength. He could see through the frustration and the confusion.” His patience and understanding knowing that I would eventually know what I needed to change in my life, that he was always there listening to my frustrations and anxieties without judgement or needing to ‘help’ was the best support I could ever receive and something I am appreciating more each day as my life becomes so much simpler and easier to live.
Well expressed Terri-Anne. I too had many unanswered questions about life, its meaning and its purpose that were never answered but always there felt as a tension. I feel more at ease with my understanding of life now through the support of Serge Benhayon’s presentations. Many I cannot prove but I have a feeling inside that knows the truth. It’s what I call my internal compass – that when I listen to it, is never wrong.
There are so many aspects you raise in your series of bullet points there’s not one i cannot NOT relate to for myself, Terri-Anne. Your entire article sums up the realities and truths of life so strikingly clear, with words that offer deep healing and inspiration too, thank you.
Isn’t funny how its the apparently small and daily issues raise the biggest questions. Nobody teaches us how to do life; we are somehow supposed to know and get on with it by a process of trial and error. A process that leaves us more lost and confused as we get further and further from our true nature as what we experience on a daily basis begins to shape who we are instead of knowing who we are and allowing that to shape our daily experiences.
‘There had to be more to life, there had to be a reason for the suffering and why life could not be simpler.’ I often asked myself this question too and until meting Serge Benhayon I did not have any answers.
Hi Terri-Anne, I loved the moment when Serge supports you with the fact that your inner strength and inner knowing are who you are and not the tragedies. We have all probably had traumatic events in our lives and it is when we let these events overwhelm us and we stop trusting our inner strength or knowing that we get lost. The natural connection you have had with your inner most is awesome; and then the healing comes as you say from honouring our truth in the simple ways that we live. Thank you for a very insightful article.
Thank you for sharing this, Terri-Anne. I loved reading through your blog and feeling how many of us have asked those questions and truly found the answers to all of them through our meeting with Serge Benhayon, a man who, as you so beautifully said ‘… genuinely cared for me and what I had to share’ and helped you see who you truly are. And, this is exactly what many others including myself experienced and keep experiencing with Serge.

And, this is exactly what many others including myself experienced and keep experiencing with Serge.
Terri-Anne Thank you immensely as it is like you know me inside out – and have written my life’s story.
Serge Benhayon has been through his natural and deep love and care of people, a true inspiration and role model, that best friend and confidante whom one can completely count on to say, do or be what is needed and who has more than answered my questions about life, love, emotional ups and downs, illness and disease, reactions and relationships to name but a few.
For what felt like forever I had felt like the loneliest person in a crowded room – that feeling that no one really gets you nor wants to, rather people want a different version of you which I set up and played to the tune of.
What I have re-learned is exactly what Terri-Anne shares in this blog to not down play our richest asset – our inner knowingness – trust, nurture and care for you and do this deeply as that is the true strength and joy that makes life not the angst, misery, sadness, despair and chasing your tail game that it can otherwise be. We may just find that this is the love that we have always wanted, that we have craved for.
Thank you dearly Serge Benhayon for the Magnificent and Glorious gift and blessing you are to us All equally. You are that Beacon of Light in what seemed like a very dark and endless tunnel.
This is awesome Terri-Anne. I got a huge kick out of your list of questions that were what you struggled with more than the big tragedies. So simply and eloquently put.
Thank you for writing this, Terri-Anne. I am the same, I always return to “Everything is energy – therefore, everything is because of energy”, “We all have a personality, a spirit and a soul.” These simply sum up what is going on in this temporal world. May I share what really helped me? It is “Observe but not absorb”.
I absolutely agree with you, Terri-Anne. It was the same for me. After searching for my whole adult life for answers to my questions, like why is everything as it is, what is the purpose of life? and getting partial truths or just distractions from Gurus and so called enlightened teachers, it was Serge Benhayon who supported me to find my answers, and I know what is true because I can feel it, and it just makes sense to me.
Thank you Terri-Anne – that made such sense. It is the day to day way that I have lived life that has got in the way of me truly connecting and meeting myself, and not the ‘high drama’. It was so gorgeous to feel the true love that you were offered by Serge Benhayon, to rebuild a life of consistency, and that what he was offering was confirmation of all that you innately are.
This is a gorgeous blog beautifully expressed Terri-Anne. What you say very much resonates with me, particularly “It was Serge who showed me it was the inner strength and knowing which was worth encouraging and talking about, that THAT is who I am”. This is such a vital part, to know ourselves by our inner quality first and foremost, and this is where the exploration takes us…and as you say, on to that shift in well-being and day-to-day living.
A beautiful sharing here Terri-Anne, and great questions that so many people can relate with.Yes, for me too, ‘Serge was the first person who genuinely cared for me and what I had to share. Not what clever things he could tell me, or how he could help me to be a ‘better person’ or what he thought was wrong with me.’ Just meeting and connecting with me.
Hey Terri-Anne, this is a lovely blog. I have a massive respect for how you openly discuss the painful traumatic things that have happened and then at the end as a stamp and reminder quote “everything is energy”. It has this feel of saying “stop, look at the fact that everything is energy, and realise that there is much more at play than the indulgence of the emotional situation.” I love that.
Absolutely brilliant blog and a big fat DITTO from me. What Serge Benhayon has shared has made sense of the nonsensical, and I too live a life that is far more at ease than before I met Serge Benhayon.
These two things were so important for me to learn also – 1) that “Everything is energy – therefore everything is because of energy, and 2) “We all have a personality, a spirit and a soul.” Thanks for a great article Terri-Anne.
Terri-Anne, what you have shared is so relevant to myself, but also to all of life. Understanding that everything is and is because of energy is one of the greatest gifts we have been given as a human race.
Thanks for sharing Terri-Anne, I can totally relate to it. I will from now on look at all the little things in life in a different light.
I can really relate Terri-Anne to how you said Serge Benhayon genuinely cared abut you and what you had to share, not waiting with a hidden agenda to tell you ‘clever’ things and try to look good but just be there in complete equality and respect of you and everyone. It is a very deeply supportive presence that he brings.
Its beautiful to re-read this blog Terri Anne. Like you say, its not the big stuff that hard to deal with, its making every day work that can be challenging. Every time I engage with Serge, I always feel met and honoured too. He brings all his love and wisdom to bear on the simplest of questions and encourages us all to nurture and cherish our inner qualities, supported by some very practical tools. His very natural approach has assisted many people to turn around some serious situations in their lives and with their health, me included, so that every day can be filled with joy and vitality.
You are so right, Terri-Anne. These are the important questions in life, and the real topics to educate children about. It occurred to me today that every single one of us has to get up in the morning, get dressed, eat, sleep etc. and we do it day after day. Surely it is very important if we live the same day over and over to do so in the clearest most loving energy we possibly can, so that every day just becomes more precious.
Great expression Terri-Anne, I can so relate to the “there must be more” point you mention. I spent all my life knowing there must be more but unable to see what the more might be. I thought the answers would be in science and astronomy, but there were no answers there only knowledge. It was only when I met Serge Benhayon that I slowly started to grasp what the more is and also that it is not a “more” that is finite and can be contained in a box but rather it is an ever expanding “more”.
I loved reading your blog, Terri-Anne. It is true, I have found it is the simple, everyday things in life that we tend to overlook or override, are actually the ones that can be most challenging, yet they are also the ones that can change our lives the most. I love all the questions you pose because they are often the ones we either overlook or think we are unable to change.
I enjoyed the precision of your questions Terri- Anne, and I love how much wisdom is packed into the two short key truths that you have taken from Serge Benhayon’s presentations. We do get knocked about, or swayed by the details of life and yes, in my experience too, understanding the bigger picture, the two important things that you summarise, makes so much difference.
Gosh it was so lovely to reread this again and feel the truth and simplicity in your words Terri-Anne. The truth that everything is because of energy (how can it not be?) and the fact that we all have a personality, spirit and soul. These are both things I have absolutely no doubt about. My way of living like yours, has become so simple and I have to say, much more fun. I put this down to the patient support, love and understanding of Serge Benhayon and his ever so practical and common sense revelations about life and living.
This is a lovely blog. Life is so simple but we make it complicated. We all KNOW the answers that unlock our Wisdom within. It feels great when you can do this as I have Really started to do this year.
I love the simplicity and practicality of your article Terri-Anne, clear and insightful, thank you
Breaking this down in this way Terri-Anne you have made it simple and clear that bringing our attention to ourselves and to how we are living(?) is vitally important and is something that we all as a society need to do if we are to really start to make true changes. Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine have been the starting point of this change and have allowed us to really make a stop to see how we are currently living, in order to start to make choices that change the way we live forever.
“Serge Benhayon showed me that all that was important was for me to continue to nurture and develop my inner strength and my inner knowing by learning how to best deal with the everyday life things and how that would support me to develop those inner qualities.” This is so simple but yet so power-full. Yes, this is all that is needed. What a shift in perception which makes a whole lot of difference. Thank you for spelling it out so clearly Terri-Anne.
Those two points bring all my issues and confusions into clarity, yet at times I have found that I need a reminder that they are the facts and no matter where I go off into my head, life is simple and can be brought back to those two points. And just now I question, if everything is energy, what energy influences me to stray from the main facts?
When I met Serge Benhayon I knew I had found someone who could help me understand myself and all the questions I had – as well as a lot of questions I hadn’t chosen to ask. I am learning to answer my own questions from the truth of who I am.
If the whole world just walked away knowing those two main things you shared that you learned from Serge Benhayon: that everything is energy and therefore everything is because of energy and that we all have a personality, spirit and a soul, that alone would change the way we all approach life. Imagine how we could never again say things “just happen” or are “an accident” because some energy or configuration that we are in made it happen. I know that I now feel a lot more responsible for my actions and more powerful too understanding that everything I think, say, and do can have an effect on the rest of the planet.
So true Michael, our irresponsibility as a race of beings can be traced back to our denial of these two facts which in our hearts we already know are true but we have allowed our minds to dictate to us otherwise.
Like you Terri-Anne, Serge Benhayon has been the first person who has been able to answer my questions. The funny thing is that so often he gets me to answer them for myself.
The questions you pose in this blog Terri-Anne are ones that must be relevant to virtually everyone. It is of great re-assurance to know we hold the answers to these questions within ourselves, and often we just need the support of someone with lived wisdom to help us come to them. It is a blessing that I have met the whole Benhayon family, who live that wisdom and are so generous in their willingness to share it.
Thank you for sharing your story Terri-Anne. Whatever the question, the answer from Serge Benhayon never feels contrived or made up, just real. This is not something I know to be true, rather something I feel to be true. It’s a realisation that, deep inside, I already knew the answers but had just forgotten.
Beautifully expressed Terri-Ann. Serge Benhayon is giving us keys to our own wisdom. We are free to use the keys and explore more Love, more Joy and more Harmony in our lives. Nothing is imposed and we make our own choice.
Serge Benhayon is giving us the keys to our own wisdom, that is so beautiful Maryline!
An inspiring blog Terri-Anne – thank you! Since attending presentations with Serge Benhayon, I have an ever deepening appreciation of myself and others.
Thankyou for this great blog Terri Anne. As you say we get a strength in order to cope with the big things that affect us. For me, as with you, the so-called smaller things affected me, but they affected every aspect of my life, so it has been great to hear Serge’s presentations, try out what he suggested to see if it made a difference and then to feel and see the effects. My life has now improved dramatically as a result. Everything is energy, (Einstein wrote about this) but this huge fact is overlooked in our society. The fact that “everything is because of energy” (Serge Benhayon) will one day be recognised as the truth that it is.

Thank you Terri-Anne for sharing your journey – your expression is so beautifully true. Everything is energy and because of energy, we have a great understanding of that through Serge Benhayon.
Great blog Terri-Anne, I can relate to what you have presented, I got so many answers since I started going to presentations with Serge Benhayon and as Rowena says, I also got answers from within me or somebody else attending the same presentation. Truly amazing.
Before I met Serge Benhayon and heard his presentations life left me confused and pretty unhappy. I am thankful that I can now understand and learn to appreciate life much more than what previously would have been possible.
I can relate Terri-Anne, for me Serge Benhayon was the first person to make sense out of the nonsense in this world. I had all sorts of unanswered questions and he has helped me to see through the complications in my life; of my making or otherwise.
Thank you Terri-Anne, what a great blog! I love how you say Serge Benhayon has helped you to nurture your inner qualities and with everyday life, I have found the same from attending Universal Medicine presentations.
So true, it is often the finer details that need honing into and looking at to support us in how to move forward in everyday life. From there we build a foundation from which to deal with everything else that goes on around us.
Thank you Terrie-Anne for this article. I enjoyed reading, ‘it was the inner strength and knowing which was worth encouraging and talking about, that THAT is who I am – that it is not the details and events of my life which defined me’. It’s lovely to have the reminder that it’s our inner qualities, strength and knowing that is who are.
Thankyou for this wonderful blog Terri-Anne. On discovering Universal Medicine I felt I had come home. Answers to so many questions I had were presented for us to feel into. Finally after years of spiritual searching I found truth. I love your important points: “1 Everything is energy – therefore everything is because of energy, and 2 We all have a personality, a spirit and a soul”..
Thank you Terri-Anne, I love all the detail in the questions you’ve listed which are relevant for most people. And absolutely, For me Serge Benhayon and all his family have been the ones to help make sense of life – opening up the possibility of taking responsibility for my choices and how I respond or react to life each day.
This writing is truly inspirational, practical and simple to grasp. Thank you.
Thank you Terri-Anne. Such strength and clarity in your words. I can so relate to what you share. I also struggle with the day to day stuff. In so many ways we are not taught how to navigate life. As you say, our inner knowing and wisdom which is our only true guide is not encouraged or nurtured. I can now connect to and trust my inner knowing through the simple and practical tools that Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine Practitioners inspire. They are a huge support.
Beautiful Terri-Ann, thank you for so wisely exposing what it is that we all need support with, how to live each day and not exhaust and worry ourselves to death. I too have found that all my questions have found their answers since attending Universal Medicine events and engaging with Serge Benhayon. And the answers don’t all come from Serge, sometimes they arrive naturally within me, or a person in the audience or workshop offers forth their wisdom to share. Serge Benhayon simply opens up the forum for truly intelligent questioning from the heart and supports us all to nurture our qualities within, so we too can find our way in this self made world of ours.
That is so important to express, Rowena. Serge Benhayon enables us to connect with our own wisdom within by living the wisdom that is within himself every moment of every day.
That is so true Rowena. For me, the first time I heard Serge speak, I felt so strongly in my body that he was prompting me to remember, that ‘my road home’ had been within me all the time. Now I share that road home with the Student Body of Universal Medicine and the wisdom, and simple practical ways of living they share, has changed and enhanced my life beyond measure.
i can feel your inner knowing in your words Terri-Anne. We all have this strong sense that there’s more or a truer way to live and it’s beautiful to have someone around who encourages and confirms what you know to be true. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing Terri-Anne. You expressed yourself so clearly in your writing – I could really feel you claiming it: your strength and knowledge of your light and power. I like how you describe this way of living “simpler” – so much truth in that. I really appreciate that you took the time to put this up.
That you Terri-Anne, what you have written is very beautiful and makes a lot of sense.
Like you before I met Serge I came across many things that did not feel right or true. I did not meet anyone or consistently experience anything where I could say yes THAT is it.
I have also learned from Serge’s presentations that there are two kinds of energy – one that is love / truth and one that is not. I have chosen that whenever I can I would like to express from the energy of love and truth rather than the other one which is harmful and separative.
Serge consistently lives from the love energy as do his family and more and more students. By seeing this living example and by being able to feel yes THAT is it, it has supported me to be able to increasingly recognise and live THAT myself.
Thank you Terri-Anne – your expression is so beautifully true – thank you so much!
Thank you Terri-Anne, I loved reading your blog. So many will be able to relate (me included) to finding those everyday simple activities you shared more of a struggle then some major life events. I have gone from living with anxiety 24/7 to rarely ever feeling anxious now. This started to change and develop in me after meeting Serge and having some of my questions answered. It has been an amazing change for me, yet so simple really — being honest with myself and others and trusting what I already know and feel is true.
Yes Aimee, I too used to experience constant anxiousness and just thought that was how life was. It’s a joy to now experience most of my days without it. After spending years looking for quick fixes in different places, it was Serge Benhayon and the teachings of Universal Medicine that kept sharing with me that I already had the answers within; that it was about building that connection with myself and trusting my inner knowing.
Terri-Anne, thank you for sharing this and reminding all of us to honour what we know to be true inside of us.
Yes I agree, Serge is a man that makes things make sense, and all he is sharing is truths we already know but had just put to the side.
This is a beauty-full blog, Terri-Anne. I love the way you write that understanding 2 things made all the difference – I felt the same as these 2 simple understandings explain the rest. Love it. 🙂
Like you Terri-Anne, Serge Benhayon is the only one who has helped me to unravel the confusion and many questions I had about life. To do so was confronting at times, particularly when I understood the level of self responsibility involved, yet this knowledge has provided me with a foundation to live a more productive, self-fulfilled and enjoyable life.
Terri-Anne – thank you for your sharing your experience with such powerful clarity and simplicity that makes so much sense. I can completely relate to what you have shared. The two important points you raised have also may a deep impact in my life. Without the love and support of Serge Benhayon and his family my own life would be still one of confusion and constant seeking for answers outside myself instead of knowing the answers are within me!
This is a beautiful blog, Terri-Anne. The fact that as everything is energy, everything is because of energy and that we all have a personality, a spirit and a soul were the two missing ingredients in my understanding of life as well. I love how you wrote, “It was Serge who showed me it was the inner strength and knowing which was worth encouraging and talking about, that THAT is who I am – that it is not the details and events of my life which defined me”, – a great reminder.
I can relate to much of this! I still remember reading the book, ‘The Way It Is’ by Serge Benhayon nearly 7 years ago. I had never met Serge, but I knew at last here was someone who knew what he was talking about! It was like finally coming in to a warm fire after years of searching in the snow. When I met Serge several months later, he presented much that I had not considered before, but his simple wisdom and obvious great understanding of life I could not argue with. Here was a man who knew what he was talking about, at last.
Hi Felicity, this was my experience too, having read ‘The Way it is’ and then several months later meeting Serge Benhayon whose words simply made sense to me. At last, here was someone who spoke the truth. From that first point on, I have been inspired to listen to my body and begin to live from that feeling of what is and what is not right for me.
Reading your blog Terri-Anne has been such a nurturing and stilling way to start my day. Thank you.
