1. Maybe if we understood how many lies are being told told every day we would do an about face and lovingly dedicate our lives to being one of truth as is presented by Serge Benhayon.

2. Writing may need to break the rules at times to jolt us out of the automatic way we can read, if not skim, over words as knowledge and information, and the expectations we have for it to be a certain way. When something is constructed differently it can ‘awaken’ us out of auto-pilot to be more present and truly receive what’s being expressed. Those kinds of stop moments have happened a few times for me reading Serge Benhayon’s books.

3. The energetic imprint that words bring to every situation is also something that needs to be understood as the energy in words and there True meaning energetically makes all the difference to what a sentence offers us.

4. Writing has a been the biggest challenge for me and I still struggle with it to this day. I’ve always compared it to the way others write and felt not good enough, with even having a belief that bigger, intellectual words makes a better writer. At times when I connect within myself, I tap into wisdom and everything just flows, although it isn’t always consistent.

   It is true we all have our natural expression and in the writing, we can feel that person. For me, I like to keep things simple, so my writing is simple, which is great on the one hand, but not so great on the other, when this style of expression isn’t always accepted in work or university environment as standards have been enforced upon us.

   My expression is best felt in my voice and that is not through singing either. I observe how people react or respond to something that I have said, whether it’s in a word or a sentence, and that is beautiful to observe. In the mean time, I will continue to write and tap into that wisdom till one day I can write my blogs, articles or book. I know it won’t be long before this occurs as I know I have much to share.

   1. I understand where you are coming from Shushila, I am another person who has always felt challenged by writing, in many ways, so my writing has to be simple, ‘For me, I like to keep things simple, so my writing is simple’.

5. When it comes to writing there is so much to read, when we let ourselves truly feel it we get to feel so much more then just words on a page.

   1. Thank God there are many forms of expression, not always read, heard but also felt. I would love to hear more audio books read out by that right person, who expresses in such a way that everything in you ignites when they speak. Now that is expression…

      1. Shushila I could listen to Serge Benhayon or Simone Benhayon talk all day there is a cadence in their voice that is just so reassuring while at the same time it is possible to feel how our bodies are reconfigured, that is true alchemy. Simone Benhayon is a comedian she has us all in stitches as she highlights the silliness of the things we do, which shows us that it is not us doing these silly things but the energy we have aligned to that we allow through which acts out the silliness. If we were fully present with ourselves in everything we do and say there would be no way that we would for example say silly things or gossip. What’s the point of gossiping anyway? When it is lovingly exposed it doesn’t make sense yet we spend a huge amount of time gossiping or indulging in gossip magazines. Is our life so boring and empty that we need to fill it with mindless gossip about ourselves and other people?

6. “a comma may not be put in the position that it’s expected BUT the expression leaves us pondering for days and leaves us feeling the depth of truth in the words?” The expression in the purple books by Serge Benhayon offer a way to feel what is being said rather than read with the eyes.

7. ‘There is this underlying feel that we can often conform to the beliefs of how to write, rather than staying true and confirming what we write’ so often we are encouraged by society to make it look a certain way, irrespective of how we feel. This whittles down our sense of self as we compromise on honouring our feelings. We also learn to live life from the head rather than the body, which further erodes our connection to truth.

8. What I have learnt from Serge’s books is that his way of writing often stops me in my tracks to re-read something because my mind is so assuming of the accepted writing structures, and this actually keeps me more engaged and open to what’s being shared. To me there is more of an aliveness to Serge’s words both because of the source they come from and how they are written.

   1. Melinda reading Serge’s books is a science in itself as it is possible to read his book and then re read and it will be a totally different experience from the first read or the second read. To me the books are alive and as we realign back to our essence the books seem to open up new layers of realisations. I haven’t read any books that can touch the aliveness of Serge Benhayon books.

9. After my first session with an esoteric practitioner, I knew I had found somebody who speaks my language – she said something during the session which I hadn’t heard from anybody else before. The perception that people aren’t broken but are simply living in disconnection from who they truly are hit the nail on the head & I knew that this is somebody who I would like to speak with about any of the things which I may be experiencing day to day.

10. Reblogged this on and commented:
    Truth is our first point of reflection, we feel truth and relate to the world from the truth we have accepted. The question is – are we chained by a norm that doesn’t serve us?

11. Some of the most melty moments I have enjoyed with my children have been over their spelling inaccuracies. Forget the spelling conventions, the syntax and the grammar. When a child simply expresses from their juicy gorgeousness in the moment on a page, all that sweetness and joy comes with it. The spelling mistakes are simply the cherry on the cake as far as I am concerned and lend an added charm to the whole thing.

12. As Yoda from Star wars says so wisely: “We must unlearn what we have learned” – very powerful words indeed.

    1. Henrietta I have never watched Star Wars but I totally agree with Yoda. To me our education system is a trap as it takes away our ability to stop and feel what is occurring. Instead it traps us in our minds with regurgitated information rather than accessing the knowledge that comes through our bodies from the universe.

13. The right and wrong rule book is something we need to bust and not just in writing but in speaking and how we are – it is about letting a person be who they are and express from their inner most.

    1. Express from our inner-most as opposed to trying to get things right makes so much sense.

14. Their is surtenly an olde skool way of righting wich is like haow Winnie the Pooh rights. I lov this as it brakes the molde and makes you feel more.

    1. Haha, love this Henrietta.

15. To be able to write what we feel instead of worrying about how it reads .. punctuation (is it right or wrong) is very liberating to me.

16. What I noticed recently when listening to an audio book is that the way something is read left an unsettlement or disturbance in my body. When I stopped to feel my body it felt racy and anxious this was when I realised I had taken on the emotion of the story into my body as I had got caught up in the narration.
    This is very interesting because how many of us read books or listen to audio books or music without discerning the energy?

17. It is great to expose the ‘right and wrong’ rule book that comes with writing. I have seen over years in teaching how it stifles true expression. It is much more enriching and inspiring to read a true expression than a well polished set of words.

    1. Love what you have said here Matilda – and it is about breaking the conditioning that we have had over the years and allowing freely to express that which naturally lies within.

18. I had no idea that the way we have been taught to write and read constructs our minds to think in a certain way. And that to have a truly open mind this way of teaching has to be deconstructed. And this does make sense to me as I have often felt that scientists in particular are so rigid in their thinking they cannot think outside the ‘box’ so to say.

19. ‘Serge’s books offer the choice to be read from the body and to let go of the conditioning of the mind.’ Yes, it’s wonderful to be able to read in this way.

20. We are often told “shut up” when we speak the truth, when something out of the ordinary is said we can be ridiculed for being silly, not going by what science says and so on. Perhaps that is all because we don’t want to hear, we don’t want to know that life can be different, we can be different and things don’t have to be the way they are.

    1. I like what you’ve shared here Viktoria, I hadn’t quite clocked the way we maintain a certain reality by enforcing the ‘same old same old’ to be expressed and can be unsettled or disturbed when someone breaks out of that prescribed way of expression.

       1. I agree when I was a child I was told I spoke like a brick in the face, or that I would never be a diplomat because I expressed in a way that was straight and to the point. I didn’t know what I was saying it used to just come out. My family would say you can’t say that and would tell me off, which always left me puzzled about what could I have said that was so shocking to them. Now I can look back and see that I was exposing the sham of our family life.

21. When I edit something I have written or someone else has written I like to connect to the message that is being communicated first and then edit sensitively to hold that message or expression precious, but perhaps tweak things to allow that expression or message to be even more open, obvious and accessible to anyone who reads it.

22. Whatever gets in the way of true expression is a distraction and I see how sometimes I can allow the need to get something grammatically correct a distraction. I am also aware how this behaviour can play out in other areas of my life too – the need to say or get things right which keeps me held in contraction.

    1. I have really felt recently how I have been gripped in the need to prove myself ‘right’. It’s like I am consumed by an energy. My speech becomes insistent, my body becomes tense and I am focused solely on proving that I am right and that the other person is wrong. The thing is about ‘proving ourselves to be right’, is that the other person never ever ends up saying ‘you know what you are right’. and so that moment of satisfaction that we are gunning for never comes because when one person is caught up in being right, the other person is equally caught up in not admitting that they are wrong.

       1. I have noticed that ‘right’ energy creep in at times, it feels horrible, and best nominated and let go of as soon as possible in my experience.

       2. I agree LJ, the need to be right rides on a hard edged insistence that feels dreadful.

23. A great observation that time saving tools can foster reductionism.

24. I have noticed this too when I write Anonymous, how a word that I have used or a comma I have missed out is picked up by the spell checker and a red line is placed under the word. This reminds me of school and how I had to get things right according to the teacher, and in so doing reduced my own way of expressing. Just recently I have taken note of the spell checker, but if the way I have written something feels like it is my expression I now leave it and I am enjoying the freedom of exploring different ways of writing that do not see me correcting things that are not ‘right’

25. The Purple Books written by Serge Benhayon are truly amazing in that as you say the words hold an energetic expression way beyond all the spelling rules and grammatical workings. And you can read one of the books and then go back some time later and what you read will have changed as we deepen our understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe so we deepen into the energetic meaning of the words in the books. I have not read any other books that can hold the energetic truth in this way.

26. I’ve found that that which is designed to be read from the body is a lot slower than what is written from and for the mind in isolation. While yes the sentences are long in what Serge Benhayon writes there’s nothing ‘wrong’ with them. It actually gets us to slow down and connect, this can irritate if we are avoiding stillness or connection.

27. That words hold an energetic expression beyond spelling rules and grammatical workings would explain why, when we may not even know a word, we can find ourselves using one that when looked into, describes the aspect we are conveying very succinctly.

28. “Serge’s books offer the choice to be read from the body and to let go of the conditioning of the mind” I so love Serge Benhayon’s books. My body just revels in the depth of wisdom offered. And on re-reading there is always more that is revealed to me. Magic.

29. Thank you it is time to start feeling and not using our minds.

30. “Truth in word: This is the first key to true understanding.” There is a saying in the English language that says someone “is as good as their word”. Our word and what we say therefore is important and needs to be appreciated for the power that it is.

31. “Serge’s books offer the choice to be read from the body and to let go of the conditioning of the mind” I agree the purple books are magnificent for helping to re-configure all of the false programming we have taken on.

    1. They are absolutely amazing books to really help support us to re-configure all the false programming.

    2. Serge Benhayon’s purple books are magnificent in many ways.

32. Truth in Word goes far beyond rules and regulations that demand we conform to a certain norm and the conventions of the gobbledegook that passes as how we are to speak and write. This gobbledegook also engenders dishonesty and irresponsibility.

33. When we express from the truth of our bodies we share a lived wisdom that offers a reflection of how the light of Soul, who we all are, can be lived in this plane of life.

    1. It is through our livingness we can share our lived expression, which is an expression of truth from our bodies.

34. The myriad of rules about punctuation, grammar and syntax are an elitist way to separate those in the know from those who don’t know and make no sense, to the point of absurdity, when it comes to truth in word.

35. I agree, sometimes a piece of writing can be so edited out that it no longer has the vitality or true feeling of the author. This is the same in autobiographies that are mainly written by someone who is not the person who has lived through the experiences being written about. The spark is missing. The aliveness unique to that person cannot shine through.

    1. Yes lets bring back the spark with expression and writing ✨

    2. Trying to get things ‘right’ takes away the flow and naturalness, and then presents a false version.

36. I don’t think I had ever considered such thing as ‘truth in words’ until I came across Serge Benhayon’s work. Being right – I liked that very much, and i gave that far more importance, not only in the grammatical sense but also in my argument. For something to be right, we need something to be wrong, and it feels to be a rather cheap way of diluting the fullness of truth that actually says it is for everyone and there’s no monopoly in truth and no one owns its expression.

    1. ‘Being right’ is the bastion of those who have shut down their livingness and turned it into a set of rules, must dos, should dos, ideals and beliefs.

       1. This feels true to me and those people who wrote about the life of Jesus were shut down in their livingness and therefore what was written about him does not have the fullness of the truth because what they wrote did not come from the livingness that Jesus was living at the time. In this life time we have the purple books written by Serge Benhayon these books are ‘alive’ with the truth of God and the Universe a way of living that will one day be known as the true way to live, because they were written from within his livingness.

       2. And ‘being right’ is when we are owned by a consciousness that says what it claims is ‘right’, or not.

37. Spell check, grammar and sentence structure are all great tools for communicating effectively and coherently but it’s also important not to constrict our expression by trying to get things perfectly ‘right’…

    1. So true, sometimes all those corrections get in the way of what is actually being truly expressed.

38. This highlights how we have to read and learn from everything- and how if we spell a word a certain way – it is for us to discern what is coming through and to appreciate the truth of what is on offer.

39. There is a vast difference between living writing that we allow to flow from our body and the kind of writing that comes from our heads and learnt knowledge.

    1. And rules, regulations, bureaucracy and laws attest to this – their style is as dry as, very cumbersome, headache-inducing and totally divorced from any livingness.

    2. So true Nicola and it is very revealing as to which one we choose to take on as the truth, as it reveals our alignment to the quality of living we are saying ‘yes’ to and if we are willing to evolve are not.

    3. Living writing has a refreshing quality of aliveness that does not date, inspires and evolves whereas writing that comes from our head has a dead quality that is only appealing if we want to be numbed or have certain beliefs and images confirmed or reinforced.

40. “I have become aware that words hold an energetic expression way beyond all the spelling rules and grammatical workings” – absolutely true because even if something is not “standardly” written or spoken we can still feel behind it the intention i.e because we are feeling the energy before we read or hear the word that confirms the sense we’re receiving. Energy precedes any end-result.

    1. So true Zofia – ‘energy precedes any end result.’

41. I have to admit I am a friend of spell check as English is not my strong side, however I totally get what you are saying about the fitting into the prescribed way of expressing as I have never been able to do it and I know I never will. I have tried and I can feel how much it seriously brings me down, so it is very refreshing to read a blog like this that calls out what really is a play. We just need to express how we feel to and that is all that is needed. Some people will connect with it and others won’t.

    1. Nothing wrong with using spell check as long as we know that it makes heaps of mistakes and that we are not to give our power away to it.

       1. I love that, that makes so much sense- spellcheck does make mistakes…and not to give our power away to it!

    2. Absolutely – to express what we feel – be it in writing or verbally – is so important. We can use spell check as an aid, but after we have expressed what we need to – to make sure others can receive it. Checking predictive text is important too otherwise the computer can make a nonsense of what we had intended.

42. We limit our expression so much when we try and get things “right”. If we make it about “right” and “wrong” we get stuck in something that is not true to begin with.

    1. And with that get stuck in our head thinking about whether it’s ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ rather than being in touch with what we’re feeling…

43. Yes… It is as if our conditioning runs so deep that sometimes grammar and syntax change is essential to shake us out of the mental groove that we have dug for our selves and aligned with

44. Serge Benhayon’s books are unique in that they support the reader out of a linear way of seeing and knowing the world into a much more inclusive and spherical view of the world.

    1. I agree they are very different in the way they are written, they sure do support the reader.

45. I love how you have brought this up Anon as I have felt this often with writing as when it is edited or messed with too much it loses its zoom, essence or the true energy it was meant in.

    1. Totally with you in agreement, fun having writing this sort of out of order and why not and who says what order is not or is?

    2. I agree. Both as a writer and editor. There are times that I have gone in with a correction hat on as an editor and interfered with the original expression. When I spot this I revert to the original and apply a lighter touch.

46. When we look at grammar and spelling alone our minds are quick to dismiss the gold that is otherwise coming through the expression we are reading. Something could be, by educational standards, completely correct grammatically yet feel cold, detached and lack wisdom.

47. There is such a difference between ticking the boxes and seemingly doing all the ‘right’ things to actually truly expressing from the depths of love that we are. When we come things from knowledge there is usually a harshness and if we are speaking to another person they can feel it as cold and judgemental yet when we come from and with love the words may be very similar yet the other person feels held in love they too are without any judgement. The sense the other person, and we are, left with is completely different and sets the standard by which we can and ultimately all will be living by.

    1. It is all in the quality rather than the quantity or the superficial appearance of what is shared. To be held in the sharing is exquisite indeed and something we are all worth.

       1. When we make love the beholding quality we live by everything changes not only for ourselves but for everyone around us.

48. We leave ourselves short when we do not express ourselves in full and confirm what we know to be true. Hence, when we start stripping away what we have let come in the way of that, our lives become so much more honest and simple.

    1. They sure do Danna, along with the fact that we then complete every conversation at the time rather than having lingering thoughts of I could or should have said this or that as you know you said what was there to be said so do not need to give it any more time or thought and then can be fully present with the next moment and interaction. Otherwise we are still carrying the previous moment with us which is always very tiring and exhausting when you think of how many incomplete moments we so easily can and have carried with us as a result of not expressing ourselves in full.

       1. one of the most painful experiences is leaving yourself and others short by leaving it incomplete, whilst it deserved to be whole-heartily divinely completed.

       2. It is and one which keeps us in the ‘I should have said this or that’ thoughts rather than allowing ourselves and everyone else to move onto whatever is next. Without completing what we are doing there can be no real sense of settlement in the body.

49. The current model for writing, including grammar, punctuation, etc, is such a small snapshot from the history of communication and expression. Who’s to say that it is right? And for what intention? When I first read Serge’s quote books I found them quite hard to understand at times, it’s like I had to relearn reading even though it was in English. I now understand so much more about the true energetic meaning of words and how they are used, and how the truth in its energetic form has its own expression.

    1. I wonder what the world would feel like if we threw out all of the rules and laws and said that the only thing that each of us had to adhere to was the truth.

50. I am pleased I have never been obsessed with too many of the rules of English. ‘The rules’ around writing I have always found quite complicated. I know the basics well but I can’t say I recall any of the formalities. So they haven’t really served me through life. I write as it sounds and feels and start new paragraphs as I feel to. It makes wiring much more enjoyable and this is something that I have very much grown into.

    1. Beautiful way of naturally expressing Jennifer. This natural way though is knocked out of many of us through school, and so many then don’t like to express in written form because of the many times of being told they were wrong for doing so.

51. Yes I agree Anonymous, sometimes writing beautyfull or dis-ease conveys more than the usual way does. Making up words sometimes also gives a much more vibrant flavour and brings our expression and communication alive.

    1. Its a beautiful way to bring our expression and communication alive, where we are free in our way of writing.

52. Absolutely true that the depth of what we share with others or write is so much more important than how we make our expression look or sound, grammatically or through our pitch.

53. We each have our own unique voice, our own expression, and honouring what is being expressed, in the energetic truth of their own experience without it needing to fit some ideal of writing is a true blessing to all those who are willing to express in writing.

    1. Beautiful Jill, we all bring our own magic of expression, and to be able to express it in our own way.

54. I used to think I was good at the written word but it was because I had studied well as a child, and enjoyed the discipline of using the right words. Now knowing there is no right or wrong, the rules are set to conform to, but we confirm our true expression however we express it, irrespective of the punctuation.

55. Writing and expressing, seeing we are always expressing in so many forms and can never-ever stop our expression, this then is always something that is worth working on and developing so we can continually deepen in the way we express from our divine essence.

    1. We never stop expressing no matter what, so every expression is worth deepening and bringing all of us.

       1. So True Amita, once we understand our essences we can then continually deepen our Humble-Appreciative-Ness of the Love we all are.

56. I remember when I was young, my mother and brother discussing commas. My brother had the exact same view as you, the we don’t need to put commas in certain places just because somebody said so – sometimes that does not match the expression of what we would like to portray and actually brings it down. It is great to use punctuation to present what we want to express, but are we doing that or are we using it to condemn ourselves?

    1. So true Viktoria, letting our natural expression flow from our essence is so simple and normal when we feel the connection and stay connected to our inner-most, esoteric or essence, which are all one in the same.

57. Watch and observe the energy you choose today – and you can see that what you say isn’t as key as you think but the quality you choose says so much.

58. Our expression is what makes us unique in a way..while we’re all ultimately the same, underneath it all, we each have our way of expressing everything that we are from and what we’re all a part of- and through that, we learn. Learn more about ourselves – factets that we are yet to perhaps uncover,or have forgotten about, and about each other. There is much to appreciate and learn about our own, and others’ expressions, and that is why the experience of writing about our own, and reading others’ experiences of life, is so fascinating and rich.

59. Given that the way we are accustomed to speak and express is usually in a way that makes us less and diminishes our true expression, it goes without saying that when we do bring our full expression to language, language has to expand to allow the expression to be expressed. Hence the rules and constrictions of the current language have to be loosened to allow our expression to really take off!

60. At school I used get low marks because of the way I wrote. Some of it was hiding and resistance in the system, however I also get a sense that my natural expression did not necessarily fit the structure of right commas and full stops, in fact my sentences did and can just keep going and flow like a river. It is important to be honest about how our expression feels, that is it accessible and go from there and not try and fit a criteria.

61. There is the security of knowing that when you hit the ‘check spelling and grammar’ button you can save yourself from embarrassment. Embarrassment from what though – not fitting into the structured norm of how to express yourself with others? You can read and feel when someone is truly expressing from there essence within and from my experience I just don’t want to stop reading it. As for the conformed way of expressing, even if you have a quirky approach you can feel the emptiness behind it.

62. A spell check is very helpful but we need to be aware that it does not dictate the way we want to express.

    1. Yes for me it is about being present in the moment and still reading with depth what is presented on the page, instead of doing check out of cruising.

63. Our body is our own inbuilt ‘spell checker’ for letting us know where we are at and the quality of energy we choose to inact. Imagine writing a document in gibberish and ignoring all the errors – this is in effect how so many of us currently live.

    1. I love your example here of how we live our lives, we know all that what needs to change but leave it as it is.

       1. Indeed when we are sloppy in our expression, it is not true and lacks the power to evolve and accelerate ourselves and others.

64. When allowing our body to express we open up to a different science that has the ability to give a greater expression that still has boundaries but share the truth in a way that is so simple and because it is usually not fitting into the usually except protocols then a richer descriptive way of expressing comes through.

65. The true meaning of words and our expression shared here is beautiful with the depth of connection there ” will be offering a far greater level of sharing that supports humanity and all to read, learn and evolve – and this is worth it I say!” Inspirational.

66. ‘English Grammar’ was a main and important subject when I went to school, and my father was quite extreme in his accuracy of this subject, which he made sure rubbed off on me, my brother and sister. But to let oneself express with speech or writing from a flow of true connection to oneself without the hangups of getting the punctuation and speliing ‘right’, is incredibly liberating and does leave the receiver with much to ponder on.

67. I really appreciate this blog as my expression at times has actually been stifled by spell check leaving me doubting what I had written, whether it was grammatically correct or not, when at the end off the day does it really matter if the message is coming across?

68. I saw a post recently on FB showing a child’s list of things to do in the summer holiday. It was so charming and sweet. Yes, we do need some consistency in written communication, but why would we ever wish to put a container around that and say that it isn’t correct. That list of sweetness, playfulness, charm and spelling errors supported me to connect to fun and joy.. the conformity we demand can often kill this.

69. Words and the truth that can be delivered is a returning art thanks to the re-introduction of energetic truth in words by Serge Benhayon.

70. It would be great if we were taught as a spell-check, to also check for the quality of the energy emanating from our piece of writing.

71. Right and wrong are the smoke screens that keep us at arms length from truth.

72. If it’s not from heaven then it’s not the true you. Run this filter on what you say and how much would remain of what you said today? Something to ponder!

73. It is amazing how much we can be so pedantic with words and wanting things done ‘correctly’ yet completely ignore or dismiss the energy or way we are saying them in. Surely it has to be better to spell something ‘wrong’ yet with it deliver all the love that you are.

74. It is a very different experience reading with your body rather than your mind. My body gets the energy immediately, whereas my mind has to process it, try to understand it and retain it etc. What my mind lacks is the ability to feel the quality of the writing and how it leaves my body feeling. Perhaps instead of spelling/grammar checking we need energetic quality checkers that reject or highlight anything that will harm the body as we read!

75. Definitely “truth in words,” and may I add that energetic truth in words seeing everything is energy first can also be up for our considered evaluation in all we do especially our expression? As we deepen our understanding about what we write and how energetically that energy works in and through us first then our expression becomes about energetic truth as a guiding principle so we feel the whole body and the vibration through it as a confirmation of the energy we are expressing in. Thus “offering a far greater level of sharing that supports humanity and all to read, learn and evolve – and this is worth it I say!”

76. We all know that one person can say one thing and we feel like a million dollars and another can say the exact same words and we may feel insulted or abused. Not until I came across Serge Benhayon did anyone spell it out just how much more significant is the energy behind our words than the words themselves. How come we don’t teach this level of understanding and care instead of the over the top focus on spelling, punctuation and the like?

77. The power of expression in words is in the energy of the writer rather than conforming to a considered ‘norm’ of grammar.

78. Cleverness uses a multitude of words to prove its force. True wisdom understands words are just vehicles for the quality in us.

79. When we write from our body it comes from a lived experience so, an ‘opportunity to feel the deep impact the words are having on healing the body, rather than feeding the body more knowledge in the way we are accustomed to.’ Then expanding our expression into every area of our life so our way of living from our body is simply seen as a lived reflection by all.

80. Not all of us speak the same way. We don’t use the same grammar, speed, tone or even words to describe the same thing. How come we have ended up restricting our written expression so much?
    Mind you I recall having the possibility of attending elocution classes, which would teach you how to talk, so we have that going on as well, but that is quite limited, thank goodness.

81. It seems we are more conditioned to do spell checks far more than to check the quality of our expression and self care.

82. If we don’t feel, words don’t really make sense. Understanding comes from the whole body not just the head. Education which does not reach this, is missing out big time.

    1. There is more to each word when it is read and jumps off the page! This is the energetic quality in which the piece of writing is presented to us.

83. For me when I am reading and it is a written with the ‘conforming’ way of writing I find it mundane, boring and without any true feeling of a person behind the words. The best things I have read in my life is where it has been a person expressing from their essence within and it has an expression that I thoroughly enjoy reading can feel them with it.

84. I have noticed for myself, when I do not want to hear the message conveyed in an expression I can bring in all manner of things to pick at the way the communication is delivered, the spelling, the punctuation, the tone, the syntax, that extra thing that got mentioned which may have not been right.
    Also it can play out the other way if I want to delay my own expression, I bring in all manner of things that need to be sorted out and correct before the excommunication goes out.
    I am not suggesting everyone else is necessarily the same. But I am sure many would be, so worth considering….

85. Punctuation can be a tool for truly expressing and communicating or it can be a restrictive bind – depending on how we approach it. Great that you highlight that here.

86. ‘… Serge Benhayon does not write from an accepted expression but offers the volume of accelerated flow in each sentence and the abundance of healing in each word, sentence, paragraph and chapter.’

    This is so true. His writing communicates on so many different levels and makes sense. Obedience to what is there to be expressed allows the healing to come through with authority.

87. When we hold back any form of expression could it be that lack of true communication holds back Love💜? So there-fore Love is holding us when we are true in what we share otherwise it is not wise to express as we are holding back love when we are not true in all we express.

88. Conforming to the accepted norms of society is something most of us have done at some point in our lives, but once we get a sense that there is so much more to life than what we can see and touch, we can no longer be fooled by what looks good but is lacking in quality and energetic integrity.

89. Until reading this I had not appreciated how subtly conditioning and reductionist the grammar correct tool is if one is not discerning in its use.

90. Doesn’t the world try to correct us all the time for what is acceptable and the norm? When we stop and feel what is true in our body, there is never a need to seek confirmation outside from outside of us!

91. Caught as a student and later on a teacher in the ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ way to write things, it is fresh air (not without some resistance 😳) to let go of ‘expression suffocating’ rules.

92. Indeed there is expression that unlocks the constraints of our ideals and beliefs and brings us back to the truth of who we are.

93. I wonder if some of the rules in our language could be restricting us from expressing in full?

94. Its very interesting that we think in order to deliver something of ourselves that we need to prepare a speech or learn some lines, whereas in truth when we speak from our true connection to who we are, what we express is nothing less than simple words of divine wisdom.

95. A total reconfiguring of the way we actually read… How sorely needed this is.

96. Perhaps in due time when energetic awareness becomes a normal part of our everyday living, that we not only do a spell check, but we also do an energetic quality check before we submit any form of writing, be it email or letter.

    1. This would be amazing Johanne, and I love your comment. Our education and employment system emphasis on checking grammar and spelling errors but leave out the most important check, the energetic quality check.

    2. Yes the energetic check would ring alarm bells in this current era with the level of diminished respect in all forms of expression.

97. If we are willing to run a spell check, at the very least we should be able to check also the quality and energy we’re speaking in. If this isn’t right, it’s important we stop, connect and then start again.

    1. I agree Joseph, beautifully expressed. I find when I am running on an energy that wants to be right, I find it is very difficult to stop, connect and start again because, at that moment, the energy I am in doesn’t care about connection, it just wants to be right. I realise the key is to not choose that energy in the first place, instead I can choose to be open and willing to connect first before I express or move in any way.

98. The ‘best’ writing or most academically accurate text may be the least relatable for humanity. Not all of our structures and measures of intelligence or quality of literature are accurate in terms of being supportive and accessible.

99. The books that are written by Serge Benhayon I have found have to be re-read four or five times to get to the depth of understanding needed to move on to the next page. As the true wisdom that is imparted is breaking down the barriers that have held back the truth, so rereading deepens our understanding.

    1. You have shown Greg how far we have walked away from our true essence but is always worth the journey to return to ourselves.

       1. So true Steve, it is a journey worth a kings ransom, or yet may I add that it also maybe considered priceless and yet worthy of us all from the drop-out to the barons who controls the wealth.

100. ‘Serge’s books offer the choice to be read from the body and to let go of the conditioning of the mind.’ – A major challenge to the human mind, that forever either seeks to be stimulated or be in control.

101. I don’t limit this to spell check however. I would say that in life when talking to people there is sometime an uneasiness due to a conformation taking place with my expression.

     1. Is this when ‘polite’ and ‘expected behaviour’ overrides truth?

102. I like Serge’s books, and the manner they are been written, there is power in these words. The created rules of writing do not work in what is on offer to humanity!

103. If there was a button or app that censored us every time we expressed something untrue – what a quiet world this place would suddenly be – and beautiful too – for so much of what we share is just heavy and from our head.

     1. Yes, and forever circulated.

104. “Serge’s books offer the choice to be read from the body and to let go of the conditioning of the mind. An opportunity to feel the deep impact the words are having on healing the body, rather than feeding the body more knowledge in the way we are accustomed to.” Beautifully confirming and supporting how we feel and so different and expansive to acknowledge the truth of our bodies and the confirmation of this.

105. The truth of words…how we misuse them, abuse them, and bastardise them is extreme. We use them in a way that suits our immediate aims, not for longevity. We twist our future and deform our way forward when we misuse and misinterpret words. I do not feel we understand the harm we choose from this everyday lack of Responsibility. Just truly look and feel the word Love in all that it is and how it is used and you will know the damage we do.

106. I reckon if we are not constantly confirming and connecting to ourselves and expressing from that connection outwards then we are automatically conforming to something else that is not us.

107. If we get fixed on spelling and grammar, we can miss what the body wishes to express.

     1. Our true expression will never fit the norm or be able to follow the rules. We are the pieces of a puzzle that make us one. We express from our body’s and our contestation with others that have no rules!

108. The meaning of words has always interested me – however since reading the books written by Serge Benhayon I am understanding that words have a value and quality way beyond what we find in any dictionary. The Ageless Wisdom brings with it a Universal understanding of life way beyond what we have been taught at school, and deeply enriches our lives and our comprehension so that life truly makes sense.

109. Yes, I too have learned that ‘words hold an energetic expression way beyond all the spelling rules and grammatical workings’, thanks to Serge Benhayon, who has delivered to us a way of living that is not reduced by man-made mental constructs and rules.

110. When we express in truth we will always find the words that are needed, and sometimes it may not be words that are needed at all.

     1. Elizabeth wise words when words themselves are not the expression that is really needed in this world.

111. I used to notice it when I used to draw and paint: at times I would get obsessed about trying to get what I had put on paper more perfect or more right according to some standard or another – invariably I would pile strokes and colours on and ended up with something that did not resemble the purity, vibrance and essence of the original. I am sure the same happens with what we communicate in words too.

112. How can we speak truth and or get to any truth when we are even robbed of a language that knows how to express truth? Bastardizing language by the deliberate imposition of mental constructs is the most effective tool to estrange one to their inner known truth and thus separate us from one another.

113. I feel like there is a lot of fun and revelation ahead as we explore words and their true meaning, coming back to the purity and simplicity of their quality.

114. There is nothing wrong with grammar or the words not fitting the norm. Sometimes when reading a purple book, a sentence like this makes me stop to go back and read what I would have glossed over. There is already enough glossing over and checking out going on in the world!

     1. I agree Fiona. The long sentences in the book and the different use of grammar and words make me re-read a sentence maybe a few times over to get to the true meaning. What also fascinates me is every time I read a purple book anew there is a deeper meaning I receive each time.

115. Most of my life I have been one of those who have made special effort to get things ‘right’, have taken pride in doing so and have judged others when they have made errors in spelling and the such.
     But this blog has got me to reflect on the insignificance of these minor errors in context of the actual expression. We don’t go around insisting that everyone has the same accent when they speak, thank goodness, as long as we can understand what they are communicating. Ironic that we have been focusing more on learning about rules and regulations than the quality of what we are actually expressing.

116. ‘…words hold an energetic expression way beyond all the spelling rules and grammatical workings.’ This is a ‘freedom gate’ for the so many of us who are caught in ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ ways to write, punctuate, structure our sentences etc. A properly beautiful invitation to walk confidently through and let our relationship with the written word go to a whole new depth. Thank you.

117. ‘Serge’s books offer the choice to be read from the body and to let go of the conditioning of the mind.’ I love the way Serge’s books break through constructs.

118. I am kind of feeling the shackles come off with reading this blog, for often I am too concerned with the rules of writing instead of just letting the expression flow.

     1. Yes Kev, I am finding that too. Grammar was such a major part of English learning as I was growing up, both at school and at home, which I still find myself being bound by. I can feel that to be able to write by just letting the expression flow without that restriction must be very liberating.

119. The norm can make us blind for the extraordinary, or we can even be disturbed by the extraordinary as it challenges the norm to be the only or true norm/standard.

     1. Well said Alex, its not often that we like to see what is true, visa versa we at times see what is true but do not appreciate it!

120. It is very true that the books of Serge Benhayon are written for the body and Soul to read, not the mind alone. The writings ignite an inner knowing as it is an expression from a quality that is innate in us all; the vibration of love in all its truth. When we express in this way, which is in fact what our normal truly is, we then offer and share the wisdom of love that is accessible and understandable by all, as all of us have a body and Soul which is designed to receive and express truth and love.

121. When we get too strict with spelling or punctuation we can miss out on the true message that is been delivered.

     1. As someone that has struggled with many of the spelling rules, I’d agree with this as I get a sense of what is said not from the structure but from the essence of what the words mean.

122. What is the purpose of our communication to be right and tick the boxes, or to express something amazing from the heart? Although it is useful to do a general spell-check or seeing that there are no glaring typos that obscure the sense of what is being expressed, I love it when people like Serge Benhayon are creative with the combination of words and grammar, in a way that actually adds and deepens the understanding and experience.

123. The trick is to not let the spell check cast a spell on you 😉

     1. So are we spell bound or spell-bound and do we bond to neither so we are bound by no rules then we do not get held in bondage😉

124. I’m glad you’ve come to this realization through Serge Benhayon’s books. It is a huge step to see there’s no one way to do things and it deepens our understanding of ourselves and others and lessen judgement.

125. ‘Conforming or Confirming our True Expression?’ Yes this can be felt in the written word, in our voice and in all areas of our expression. When one ‘reads’ with all of the senses and not the mind alone everything is revealed.

     1. Well said Victoria – there is a quality of energy behind everything for us to discern. One that represents and calls us to be at one with our Soul as such confirming us, or one that represents and asks us to conform to being less and accepting less than the divinity that we are here to live and express.

     2. And to consider what we are conforming to… what rules and restrictions are we perpetuating that stifle our true expression and potential.

126. The beauty is that you don’t have to be a keen or expert writer in order to put pen to paper, or start tapping away on a keyboard. We are all experts in different avenues of life, with stories and experiences to share. Putting these together makes a universal library.

127. “Having read several of Serge Benhayon’s books over the years, I often felt myself go back and read a sentence time and time again ..” – yes, I love Serge’s books for this very reason as in they feel like new books because of the deeper levels the content touches within us the number of times we read a paragraph or book again.

128. Words used in truth are like neurosurgery – always hitting the nerve of what needs to be expressed at any moment.

129. We take words for granted. This is evident in how we can abuse with words, to ourselves and other, how we are curse and swear and shout. It obvious how much power words have because they are a vehicle with which our quality of self is transferred to others. So really, there is a big responsibility in word and how we use them.

130. I love that someone or anyone is willing to break the rules as a means to communicate something that yes, is outside the norms of what is most people’s everyday experience… but equally is a more natural expression of what they are feeling. We need more things that break the paradigm we are living in because its not working and we need a fresh perspective.

131. Serge Benhayon writes with volume just as he does everything else in his life allowing the volume of the soul to come through. From the way he walks, communicates, moves, writes etc etc it all holds the one same divine quality. Something that is not special to him but can be accessed and done equally by all. He just chooses and takes the level of responsibility needed to bring through the level that he does in full surrender to knowing who we all truly are. Many of us have experienced his teaching of walking with our true selves, walking with our volume in ‘walking therapies’ and others have experienced expressing from the body and expressing with our body in other available workshops. This is all accessible to all and something Serge has been sharing since 1999. Now many today express with true quality and produce such amazing albums, websites, blogs, business, daily work, walking etc from also connecting to the deepest natural part of our being – our soul.

132. It is interesting that we are so fixated on rules etc when we should actually be holding quality of expression as paramount. How amazing would it be if our computers instead of underlining or highlighting the grammatical errors with colours and messages, that it was the quality or lack-there-of, of our expression in our writing was the thing our computers highlighted to us eg. Imagine if we were presented with such messages as:
     ‘You have typed with anger in the first sentence, please readdress this area in order to hold your energetic responsibility’
     Or
     ‘ in this paragraph there is a drop in the power you present compared to the rest of the writing,please readdress this to hold the power and quality delivered for the rest of humanity who reads this ‘
     Or
     ‘This entire email is crushing in nature and will deeply hurt the person you are sending it to and then they will carry that hurt around impacting everyone they meet, please readdress how you say what you want to say with more responsibility and consideration for everyone’

     1. Very revealing, and shows how much we are feeling and ‘reading’ in every moment. We are expressing 24/7 and the quality of our expression affects us all. What are we adding to the pool we all collectively swim in?

133. Thanks Anonymous, You have raised very valid areas for us as a humanity to consider. As in many areas of life we have been conditioned to abide by rules, follow the considered ‘right’ way and adhere to the common norm but often these do not bring flow, harmony, surrender or truth to our lives. It’s important that quality comes first and the more that we debunk the constraints that keep us from quality of expression and movement being first in our lives, the more we are heading toward a truer way of living as a whole. And Serge Benhayon in writing and all areas of life has been forward stepping this and setting the trend.

134. It is interesting how we have formulas and rules to do things correctly and make language and expression understandable. But have we considered that all expression cannot be reduced in this manner and retain its richness and fullness?

135. A key word in the “Truth in words” is ‘reincarnation’ so from birth to death we have a “true understanding” of our true ‘responsibility’ in how we live, thus from our conception until our last breath when we pass-over is our incarnation. And that one incarnation has an effect on our next incarnation, so understanding what is Truly meant affects a great deal more than when we simply look at the word because “words hold an energetic expression way beyond all the spelling rules and grammatical workings.”

     For more on passing-over joy-fully, until our last breath see the video at;

136. We can either conform and just live by the rules that life provides or we can allow ourselves to listen a bit deeper and go by the truth of our heart.

137. Reading Serge Benhayon’s books is unlike any other book I have read, in fact they are the only books that I have enjoyed reading and have read fully. There is a quality to them that is unmistakably felt when reading, touching depths within.

     1. In life I have only been able to read very few books cover to cover. Some I read because I had to and some I read because I thought I should but the only books that I have enjoyed reading and that speak to my whole body and allow it to deeply surrender are the books written by Serge Benhayon. My body responds deeply to truth, multidimensionality and universality – and this is what his books hold, from the way he writes, where he places a comma, the words he uses, the topics he presents on and the configuration of his sentences and paragraphs.

138. I was reading one of Serge Benhayon’s books last night and appreciated on a new level how every sentence contains a key to self-liberation.

139. The way that we do not truly read the meaning of words and how we use them is disabling. We do not understand that if we do not fully embody the truth of what we say then we corrupt ourselves and others. This truth does not always fit the pictures we have concerning correct grammar and meaning.

140. This reminds me of the way we often express when we speak which can have the same constrictive manner imposed upon it by our minds in absence of our wonderfully wise and ever knowing body.

     1. Very true. This is rampant in all areas on some level. Our world is set up, by our own collective hands to focus on the insignificant as being the significant in order to keep us distracted and away from what truly matters in life. The more we reimprint this all with truth one droplet at a time – we start turning the tides on the lived lies.

141. I personally love spell check for we can always consciously choose to use or not use auto correct. It is up to us to not become victims of spellcheck and furthermore at the end of the day it is the energy a piece is written in that counts and if we are very present writing, the correct words simply come to us and if auto correct change them we can always change them back.

     1. I also like spell check, I am working through my relationship with words, computers, technology, expression, commitment to getting out there and one of the ways I have hidden is through writing in unclear hand writing and a resistance to go into panic when needing to spell. Spellcheck with where I am at now supports the process, I agree don’t be reliant but I feel the benefit.

142. From the inspiration and love of Serge Benhayon “the depth of how we write may not fit that norm, yet will be offering a far greater level of sharing that supports humanity and all to read, learn and evolve – and this is worth it I say” Such a gift and sharing of the writings from of Serge Benhayon and all he offers humanity .

143. Words can convey so much energetically as you share here, depending on how they are understood, lived and used, a depth that goes beyond the grammatical and dictionary definition, and whilst we do need some grammar and structure to unify our communication we do not need to be constricted by it either…

144. What a legacy is being left for humanity within the covers of Serge Benhayon’s books.

145. Orthography, grammar and syntax are the bridle of language and can either be used to restrict or advance expression; obviously we still have to learn the difference as we were bridled by our education system and upbringing to be correct and not be expressive from our innermost.

     1. Great observation Alex – do we allow a system to support us in being able to communicate more and to have some common standards so that it can be equally understood (which I sense is the true purpose behind the ‘rules’), or do we go too far and turn it into a straight jacket where people can dictate what is right and wrong, judge and make less?

146. Having had dyslexia since i was young, spelling has never been a strong point for me – but my mum always encouraged me to express and never made me feel any less. I was not given a label, so the school didn’t know i had dyslexia and simply assumed i was just like everyone else, so wasn’t held back or made to feel different and so despite not being great at spelling, my expression was very strong and made up for it in many ways, as i learnt in my own time how to spell. I love to read and write, and find I can express myself very eloquently, and then i go back at the end and with the support of my computer or those around me, make the changes i need to, but the expression comes first rather than the spelling or gramma.

     1. I love what you are sharing here Rebecca, I had a similar experience with my daughter who grew up in the USA and then as a young teenager had to learn to write in German when we moved to Germany. She spoke German well but hadn’t any experience with writing, so we just encouraged her to write without thinking about the spelling and that really supported her to simply express, and as you share, the spelling gradually came in too, but it didn’t hinder her in her expression.

        1. We can get so caught up in the grammar and spelling we miss the point that to write and to speak is not about gramma, it is about expressing ourselves – it was only a few hundred years ago that there was not real rule of spelling and grammar, and yet so many incredible teachings, writings and documents are written in that time and are still studied today.

        2. Yes, such a great point Rebecca, we have made the emphasis in life very much about perfection and abiding to the rules, whereby we have forgotten how to simply be and express from our deepest inner knowing.

147. Yes indeed, Universal Medicine continued to help me re-learn how to express myself in full, to not curtail my words by fitting into a man-made set of rules and to speak the truth even though it will ruffle feathers.

148. I love reading anything written by Serge Benhayon, my body just opens up, even though most of the time my head cannot make sense of what is happening in my body or of the material I am reading. I love that this article also calls us forth to write what is true from within us and to let go of the imposed upon rules we have been taught.

     1. The imposition that we have all felt from the rule book of life has become part of our education system. So often we judge another by their spelling, grammar etc and then place a level of critique on their level of intelligence rather than getting to the core of the expression and how this connects to the listener that impacts and serves at a greater level than any IQ standard.

149. Spell check has been a blessing for me. I never bothered to learn how to spell when I was at school and when I started using spell check I would not only change the spelling on the article I would also take note of the correct spelling.

150. I love this ‘truth in word check’! which it is certainly something connected to through the living of truth in daily life. Not referring to this as the but to a computer for the final word shows how we much we live by rules of right and wrong and don’t entrust ourselves to truth.

151. ‘Serge’s books offer the choice to be read from the body and to let go of the conditioning of the mind. ‘ Yes, when I read them from the body they resonate with the truth I have within me that knows because it’s made of this same truth that is being expressed. Reading from the body, in such clear terms, isn’t something I’ve ever heard about before Universal Medicine introduced me to it. But it’s something I actually knew about without realising. I could feel the books that were heavily laden with mental energy, or are so complicated, often flawed in argument, but trying to persuade or impress, as they give me headaches. The difference now is that I know I’m not faulty but am actually ‘reading’ the agenda behind the writing and can now not be so jostled by it or choose to go into my head to ‘get my head around it’ because that makes me feel unwell.

152. I love reading Serge Benhayon’s books and how even though I might have to read them over a couple of times as I am reading you can feel that it is not owned by the ‘right’ way to write a book. That the grammar fits the normal way of expressing that can be so limiting. Serge’s books when reading them leaves you feeling expanded and connected to much more than just our temporal world reminding us we are much more.

153. Beautiful Elizabeth and I feel the same, when we start to understand how life truly works from an energetic perspective much freedom can be regained from those rules.

154. Yes, we are conforming to life standards that are not true. Life’s true auto correct – our body – will underline what is right, unless we’ve hit the switch and tried to turn our senses off.

     1. Love that Joseph. The conforming or confirming is in every area of our lives and our body feels the difference.

155. ‘There is this underlying feel that we can often conform to the beliefs of how to write, rather than staying true and confirming what we write.’ – Wow, how true. How many of us are aware of the consciousness of ‘how to write’ and how we have allowed it to own us since we were first educated in this skill.

156. ‘Serge Benhayon does not write from an accepted expression’ I have not experienced any other writing quite like the writing of Serge Benhayon. There is a fullness contained in every sentence, paragraph, chapter and book which contain the same quality of truth and is always in consideration of everything at the same time. Simply our view of this world, whilst also being totally down to earth.

157. “There is this underlying feel that we can often conform to the beliefs of how to write, rather than staying true and confirming what we write.” I think you could substitute the word ‘write’ here for almost anything really.

     Yesterday in a Sacred Movement class my feet felt to stand in a certain position, but I could feel the belief that my feet should be in a certain other position (I could hear former gym instructors going feet hips width apart, standing firm and straight). The Sacred Movement facilitator said to us, just feel where your feet need to stand, and let that be the position. Such a simple statement, but gosh so powerful. I cried and cried and cried as I have felt all the millions of times in my life that I have felt to do something that feels right in my body but may not be what is expected, but have conformed to what is expected and let go of me in the process.

158. Energetic truth of any word plays an absolute role in understanding how we formulate our true expression, seeing everything is energy first.

159. I have seen many pieces of writing that are riddled with errors on a grammatical and spelling front but underneath lied the deep level of expression from the writer that invited the reader to learn more than what was on the page.

160. It’s the same with so many ‘tools’ – we each have a unique way of expressing with it rather than being dictated to by it.

161. Going with what we feel to write, whether it conforms or not, confirms we are writing from what the body knows and feels is true.

162. As Einstein found many years ago now, everything has energy at its foundation. Therefore, although it may seem like a small thing to add a comma or a dash to conform to accepted writing standards, this may completely change the flow and feel of the sentence. This is big for me to realise after getting hooked into the correct way by a lot of recognition for being ‘good’ at spelling and grammar at school.

163. Serge Benhayons books break all the rules. He simply expresses what is there to be expressed in a free way without conforming to how he ‘should’ write. They are very refreshing to read and they rewire your brain!

164. ‘Serge’s books offer the choice to be read from the body and to let go of the conditioning of the mind.’ It is a novel experience for anyone who has been brought up on books, someone who is used to the mental processes of reading, understanding and remembering. When I first started reading the Purple Books as they are commonly called, I could only read a paragraph at a time. Nowadays I can read several pages at a time and each time I re-read a book, it feels like a new one because I am feeling at a deeper level than before.

165. I have to thank you Anonymous for having the impulse to bring this subject up, for the old spell and grammar check often leave me doubting myself and what I have to express.

166. I love reading Serge Benhayon’s books because there is an energetic science in the way they are written that is multi-dimensional, so when I pick up a book it feels like connecting with the intelligence of the universe.

167. If we allow our selves to challenge the rules of grammar, it also supports us to challenge the rules that govern our societal norms in a healthy way. Expression is crucial to our communication, learning how to allow it free and loving reign empowers us to address the ills we have allowed to flourish as a consequence of adhering to rules at the expense of truth.

168. When we express, and the receiver understands what we presented, communication has taken place. The rules are simple.

     1. Communication in its expansive form leaves all spell checks behind!

169. So insidious and entrenched are rules of grammar and punctuation in our consciousness they rule our expression, if we let them. Important to be very aware of who we’re aligning to when we write.

170. What the title already reveals is how very controlling we go through life, there is always a checking of correctness or even perfection. No wonder we are all so exhausted and stressed when this occurs with everything that we do.

     1. My sentiments exactly Esther. When we start to let go of how controlling we are in life it becomes clear where we are still holding onto it and exposes the tiniest details such as these. Its extremely liberating to let go of control and instead allow the natural flow that is within us to become our impulse of our expression.

171. ‘I have noticed that when I am editing my own or other people’s writing that the true expression that confirms what that person feels to write may not always fit the norm.’ – and, in truth, nor should it fit the norm. Keeping things ‘as they are’, as they have always been retards us. It’s through being open and willing to be challenged to see and feel different perspectives and angles that we haven’t considered before that we re-discover truth and true change can occur.

172. We can complete a sentence and have it gramatically correct, but it can still feel incomplete in its expression if we have held back energetically in any way. Likewise we can be gramatically incomplete or have made a spelling mistake BUT yet if we have really shared all of who we are in the sentence then the expression is complete. No different to a child writing a card that says I love you but it is all spelled wrong – why would you stop to correct their spelling when you know and understand that a message from the heart never needs correcting.

173. We ought to have systems that auto checked for quality of the words that were said – not simply the grammar. If this was in place so many of our emails and letters would have errors and alerts all over the place.

174. The computer grammar check is a form of reductionism as it cajoles us into one common form of expression.

175. We have been lied to on so many levels but when we take the time to feel from our connection to the inner-heart the wordage from others has never been so simple to read.

176. Where as most books take you into the realms of your mind and into fantasy, when reading them, Serge Benhayon’s books offer you the opportunity to come back into your body and the truth of the matter.

177. Falling into the false ways of the past that are there as a folly as you have shared Elizabeth, and may I add that keeps use aligned to the past falsehoods and thus fragment us so their is no true representation of the future going forward. With words that bring about a disrespect-fullness and thus a fragmentation how can we unfold our natural expression and birthright; “Truth in word: This is the first key to true understanding.”

178. In his books Serge Benhayon, shows what true expression is. There is zero holding back here in expression and zero conforming to how things ‘should’ be. The words are a medium for love, healing, truth and power to come through. It really is quite magical.

179. There is a volume of expression on offer that as a general rule we are not aware of in our everyday life. The desire to express lovingly to all we meet is there with us all, but our way of living has stopped us from knowing and living that.

     1. Indeed, our way of living has stopped us from knowing and living who we all truly are.

180. Thank you that is very true. The big difference it makes when we express our truth.

181. The ‘grammarly correctness’ sits deep when it was more about the form then the authentic expression of what needed to be said at the time we learned to read and write. Making full expression the priority sets us free from the limitations of rules as absolutes but rather allows us to make use of the richness of tools to empower the expression.

182. Quality first, ie truth to be delivered in a way that serves best the purpose encompasses not just the meaning of words but also the ‘package’ aka grammar and syntax. When we give it a go we may be surprised by the clarity and power that is communicated.

     1. A fundamental point Alexander on the significance of having Quality as the foundation “i.e. truth to be delivered in a way that serves best the purpose”. When this is the overriding impulse of the moment, then everything else naturally falls into place and anything that is in the way automatically gets exposed.

183. There is a huge difference felt in the body when expressing and ‘trying to get it right’ when stuck in the struggles of mental energy or to simply be a vehicle for true expression to flow through effortlessly from the body.

     1. When we are ‘trying to get it right’, who are we changing our expression for?

184. Any piece of writing can build on itself, and the ‘accelerated flow’ that you’ve talked about captures how each word or sentence can be used to further the text, expand on the point being made and explore a new depth.

185. I love reading Serge Benhayon’s books because they break so many rules, from the energetic foundation up. What is conveyed communicates to us on a deep level, because it flows through the gaps in the web of rules straight to our hearts, the place within us that is unhindered by man made constraints.

186. Grammar checkers offer alternative words that just don’t fit and sometimes we have to go with what we wrote or the meaning is changed drastically.

     1. Yes, and we may end up ridiculously far from what we wanted to express.

187. It’s intreseting taht we raelly do not need to cnofrom to the rlues in palce or seplilng in odrer for our epxreiossn to be flet and undetrstood.

188. We seem to pay far too much attention to learning should and should nots and too little to deepening our awareness of what is in our heart and our ability to fully express it.

189. It is a shame that the emphasis at school is more on spelling and grammar instead of expression but I’m sure one day that tide will turn.

190. Reading this blog and comments make us aware of the importance of school how we are taught. It seems that in the main children are not supported to be freely expressive in their writing but made to conform to rules and structures of writing and composition. When this happens, the essence of the child is crushed.

191. Writing comments on blogs such as these are an interesting lesson in writing from the heart, from the body and not from the mind. Sometimes I feel an impulse and write from there but feel I need to say more and add to it. The additions are always from my mind, and I end up deleting them. The simplicity of speaking from the heart is where the truth lies.

192. I have been aware, over the last few months in particular, how sometimes my sentences can be ridiculously long. At first my schooling kicked in and I re-read what I’d written trying to shorten the sentence in some way, but when I did, it didn’t feel right, the alteration felt disruptive, so I left it as I’d originally written. I love what you share here as it confirms and honours the beauty being offered in our expression – that is the glory in what is being offered, not whether the sentence has the correct length or structure.

193. The spell checker gets it wrong consistently and people are now making mistakes they did not make before it saw the light of creation, as in the difference between it’s and its, for example. And predictive writing is the zenith of conformity, being told what and how to write.

     1. The more we allow things to become automated, the more we are giving our power away to something else. That’s not to say automation isn’t useful in certain situations, however, it feels as though there is a drive for efficiency, cost cutting, saving time – and this can come at a cost sometimes as we loose a little more of our selves.

     2. I use a grammar checker program that I constantly ignore when it tries to fit what I express into some box. But it is helpful for spotting things that don’t even make sense to me when my fingers take a break from what was meant to be expressed. It’s a program to check the other programs that autocorrect things. Recently it flagged; ‘to feed the breast’ and wanted to change it to breastfeed. It was meant to be; ‘to feed the beast’! Tools are for us to use as aids, not for us to conform to them and alter our expression!

194. There is so much we can feel when we read anything written, it’s often what is unsaid that we receive first and then words second. It can have the best use of grammar and punctuation but be laced with anger and frustration. That’s what we would benefit from learning at school… to read between the lines.

195. “Serge’s books offer the choice to be read from the body and to let go of the conditioning of the mind”. It is our mind that continually rides roughshod over our bodies, leading us here, there and everywhere apart from Home.

196. Words should piggyback on the energy that precedes them, rather than drag their meaning from behind them.

197. True expression can never conform it remains an immovable living truth.

198. I am learning more and more how important it is to hold a word to its true and original value and meaning, for in the bastardisation of words lies the waywardness of humanity. ‘Love’ is a great example in that in Truth it is simply a way of being, but today it is seen as a romantic emotional turbulence. So when someone understands love to be one meaning and has a conversation with another who sees it with another meaning – it is like talking two different languages and there is much misunderstanding that can come in between. And not only that but it exposes how one person can live a life that is so far away from truth, and how easily our lives can be lived in a lie, a distraction from the true magnificence that we are all innately from and deserve to live on a daily basis.

     1. Truth in word is sorely needed; we have lost our way and have sacrificed the truth of words on the altar of comfort, incitement and sensationalism. Faced with our own creations, we are now running out of options and can’t see the light for the thicket of our agreed upon lies.

        1. So true, Gabriele and this is why when the truth is presented it can bring up a reaction because in feeling the truth of what is being shared, it exposes where we are not living truth, it forces us to feel the dark corners which we know are there, but we’ve been avoiding. We don’t like being exposed in our unloving choices, however, the truth is what will ultimately save us all.

199. Confirming vs Conforming – a very wise question to ask indeed. Are we playing ball with the big picture that society wants us to be a part of? Or will we rise to our truth with indeed can only be the One Truth for us all?

200. We can be a slave to grammar rules or we can feel what is needed to be expressed and allow that expression to flow. Having done some editing, especially with those having English as a second language has been a beautiful learning in this, often the expression is not ‘correct’ English but it’s so clear and expressed in a way that is truly their own, you cannot but embrace it and it’s taught me that it’s about feeling and honouring what is expressed and supporting another to expand on their expression of who they are.

     1. This was also a turning point for me when it came to allowing an expression to be without putting rules to it or lassoing it into conformity.

201. Writing from what we feel as opposed to writing from our heads is a totally different, whole body experience. Reading Serge’s books was a challenge to start with because my grammar and spelling proud brain was so conditioned to reading a certain way and style. But what I began to feel is that there is a lot more to words than what we see on the surface: behind them is the energy that they are written and delivered in. We can all feel what someone is really feeling underneath the words they might be saying, and the same is true for the words we read on a page or screen. There is no hiding energy, if we are open to feeling it.

202. Our writings can feed our minds with more and more knowledge, which creates competition, comparison and separation… or our writings can offer our whole being a healing… in true brotherhood.

203. After reading your blog Anon I have realised that ‘getting it right’ gets in the way of expression whether writing or speaking. Getting it right is so ingrained that a person will hold back what they have to offer and not even have a go because they have already labelled themselves as dumb, a failure or judged in their expression. This blog exposes how much the world is missing out on when it comes to true and full expression as we all have so much to bring when we allow expression to flow from the body unimpeded and immersed in the love we are.

204. Spell-checkers and grammar checkers are useful but not normative, i.e. if you let them tell you what to do, then your expression suffers.

205. It’s always interesting when the red lines appear as we are writing. We can allow ourselves to be dictated and controlled by this, or we can claim our natural expression and break the rules!

206. Reading Serge’s books introduced me to a whole new dimension to expression – I could not have believed it possible to read the same text and get a different meaning and understanding as the layers were uncovered and the deeper offerings revealed. Conventional grammar might not be satisfied according to its own rules, but yet the grammar employed and Serge’s words deliver truth as I have never read before. Deconstructing lineal thinking to allow the spherical understanding of the all.

     1. Beautifully expressed Annie, this is exactly how I feel too when I read Serge Benhayon’s books. The way they are written is multidimensional, deeply healing and very powerful. At the very beginning, I tried to read one of Serge’s books in a linear way and I tried to intellectualise it and I didn’t get very far.

207. Understanding that our expression is a science and has a continuing effect on us all should be known on every level.

208. Our society has supported us to feel that we need outside guidance to do things right.
     But when we were young, we had a inner knowing of what was right and wrong. we were just connected to this and lived from that.
     That is how children grow so fast and learn so much in there early years.

209. ‘Serge Benhayon does not write from an accepted expression but offers the volume of accelerated flow in each sentence and the abundance of healing in each word, sentence, paragraph and chapter.’
     My experience is that Serge never uses words loosely and that every word he says or writes has meaning.

     1. So true Monika, I have noticed this too. Every word Serge Benhayon express is with a deep level of care, love, and purpose. When we hear or read his expression, our whole body is receiving a healing through the vibration he emanates.

        1. Yes and what is also very special: every question he answers in the room during a course he answers in such a way that it is not for one person but for all of us. And that is with every word he expresses and every move he makes, it is for all of us to evolve.

210. I find that there is a huge difference between when I communicate something that is for the whole and my other communications. In those moments, there is no goal, no personal agenda, no justification, it is simple, direct, precise, loving in the deepest sense. And such a communication is certainly not held back by the should and should-not of grammar, spelling and other restrictions we put on the way we express.

211. What you describe here is, that by just following the rules we miss out of the richness of every and everyone’s expression as we are confined in a system that only lets us see so much, the much it is made to be but never gives room for the whole to be seen.

     1. What I understand is when we follow certain rules it can lead us down a narrow and linear path but when we follow our heart and our inner knowing it leads us to brotherhood.

212. The container pristinely reflects what it contains when its form doesn’t interfere or limitate the depth of its content. Only then the message can be endless and ageless, as Serge’s expression is.

213. We have learnt to constantly conform to expressions which are not true to ourselves out of fear of reaction or sympathy. When we hold ourselves we do invite others to be more of themselves.

214. This monotone of expression with a few types of variations leads to a humanity that has become one where we are ticking boxes and doing what is ‘right’ and totally disconnect to our essence within where we have an expression that is connected to something much bigger. This is what can impulse is to be full of the enormous expression that is possible and Serge Benhayon is leading the way.

215. It isn’t just the words in a document, article or book that have an impact on how the message is delivered, but equally so the structure, grammar and layout of the text. The meaning behind a sentence can completely change as a result of adjusting these details for example.

     1. very true, and add to this the filters that are in place in the receiver of the words or sentence and we can see how delicate true communication actually is.

        1. And then there is the quality or energy of the writer that comes through every piece of writing, which will have an affect on everyone who comes into contact with it too.

     2. The font used, the spacing used, whether we use capitals, italics, bold, underline, they all can support or hinder our expression and we can feel the difference.

        1. Yes its the detail in quality that offers more than any spell check!

216. What if bad grammar could also be an honest way of indicating our quality of well being. Whether we have written something in connection to ourselves or whether we are in are rush or are angry with someone, all is communicated in how we write and express. It is no use in trying to cover ourselves by polished words and sentences because in the end all is felt so it pays to be at least deeply honest about it.

217. “I have become aware that words hold an energetic expression way beyond all the spelling rules and grammatical workings.” Once let go of feeling I knew the ‘right use of spelling and grammar’ I was able to feel the depth you speak of in Serge Benhayon’s writings.

218. ‘I have become aware that words hold an energetic expression way beyond all the spelling rules and grammatical workings…’ This is the art of feeing we have lost through standardised norms. We have lost the true meaning of words that hold energetic resonance that can be felt through every cell of the body.

219. I feel there are two situations: where people have no dedication towards words and because of that using them anyhow and with no deeper regard. And then there are people who don´t let themselves be restricted of “how you should say it”. After reading your blog, I will definitely claim more of mine non conforming sentences or words, that are often in my way of expressing.

220. We all need guidelines, as they help organise our communication, but this is a beautiful example of how we can be caught in a web of rules and regulations that can subtly suppress our expression without us realising it.

221. Some years ago a friend of mine tried to read one of Serge Benhayon’s books but gave it back to me because the grammar was not up to her standard. For me, it was never about the grammar as I could tell something was happening to me as a result of reading the books, but I just couldn’t put my finger on it. Now, I know that the books were giving me a healing and breaking down those mental constructs built up over lifetimes.

     1. So we use the system to prove that the system is the system and that anything that doesn’t fit into the systems isn’t the system so therefore doesn’t fit and yet we never question the system. (no idea what punctuation I should use in this sentence!)

222. Yes, what I love about Serge Benhayon’s teachings and writing is that he breaks the constraints that the education system has tried to put us in, freeing us to enjoy and be creative with our true self-expression.

223. I feel we as humanity we have to re-learn to express and read with and from our bodies. We get trained and conditioned from young on to only use our mind, when it comes to writing and reading. I sense there will be much less words in future, when we truly access the volume of each word, as it communicates in such a depth, that only a few words are needed to express the whole.

224. This is a great topic for conversation because I would like to know who it was that decided that the word receive should be spelt ‘ei’ and not ‘ie’ . What! And more to the point does it really matter if it is spelt recieve
     The red underline has popped up 🙂 I can still remember the rhyme I was taught in school to ensure we spelt the word correctly. To me this is a complete waste of time and effort because it is futile and gets us all … nowhere.

     1. I agree Mary, we put so much effort into so many things, but the things that really matter in life like love and true care we have abandoned and declared as unimportant.

225. Schools place emphasis on grammar, punctuation, spelling and how to construct sentences, not how to express from truth and connect to quality of words used.

     1. And this then infiltrates into every aspect of our lives, the constant checking and controlling and having to be right and perfect.

226. When it comes to words we have become so wrapped up in grammar and punctuation and getting it right that we ignore the energy behind the words. It is this that we are either inspired or most affected by.

227. Reading Serge Benhayon’s books have changed the way I write… because these books (through one’s own awareness raised as a result) change the approach, view and take on life towards being spherically lived and thus more wholly expressed, written too as opposed to otherwise being linear and one dimensional or static.

228. I have mentioned this before on a different blog, but it’s very relevant here. At my childrens’ school they are very tight on neat hand-writing and grammar. Very tight. We saw that this was restricting our daughter’s expression in her writing as she was concentrating so hard on getting it ‘right’ that it was restricting the flow of her glory. So one day I sat her down and got her to write without worrying about any of that stuff. 1st attempt was freer, but still the hand-writing was very neat and the sentence structure very perfect and ordered. So we had another go and another, each time with me appreciating and encouraging her to let go even more, to not worry, to make a mess, to just write whatever, no capitals, no punctuation, no nothing. By the 3rd or 4th attempt it was amazing the difference in what she was writing…and also in the way she was holding her body whilst writing…and most important of all, her joy in it all. By the 4th attempt she was smiling and giggling and loving the whole process. Fascinating and powerful experiment.

     1. That is so awesome Otto… to allow the joy of free and true expression – this is how writing needs to be presented to us all!

     2. Wow what is shown by this story is HUGE.
        A big eye opener for the force so effectively at play through such a focus. As parents this is a great lesson for how to support our children.
        And as adults how many of us can say we have not been trapped by the constrictions of trying to get it right and fitting our expression within a box? A welcome inspiration offered by this example of how to support ourselves and one another to be free from such constraints.
        Otto if you ever felt to, it would be awesome to have an actual blog or a stand alone comment covering the revelation and insight. It needs to be shared far and wide.

229. Look at Yoda. His grammar and sentence structure was all over the place (if you go by the rules), but boy-oh-boy, did that guy deliver some truth.

     1. Great point, indeed Yoda’s words actively invite you to undo all convention!

     2. Simple and spoken from the all not confined by any man made rules.

230. Who created the rules for syntax-check on our computers? Always we must discern – our lives are full of rules, ideals, beliefs – almost all of which have been created, fostered and promoted because of a hidden ulterior motive. You may think that where a comma goes isn’t important, but every one of these systems that we blindly align to reduces our true expression of God.

231. Yes I too love the way Serge Benhayon’s books are written and often will read and re-read a paragraph as the configuration of words has a profound and transformative effect on my body. Like everything else words can heal or harm.

     1. and it is not only words that heal or harm, but as you say punctuation plays a huge role. Everything matters and makes a difference – what fun it was to start a sentence with and…

        1. By reading this it occurs to me how very constrained we are by the school system and way of learning that we have created.

        2. That, is, so, true, Doug,, – and even if 2 sentences are written exactly the same way with same words and punctuation one can be true and one can be a lie depending on the energy they are written in.

     2. Absolutely, to the aware reader of Serge Benhayon’s books it is obvious that no letter, space or comma, or the absence of it, is without reason and function and all very deliberately so.

232. Reading this article I can feel that at school we get taught one way of doing things and that we need to fit into this box rather than allow our natural expression and way of doing things, whether it’s art, english or maths. It feels the same with the spell check and sentence construction; that there is a rule on how to write and construct sentences and that this is not necessarily how we naturally express.

233. When writing from our heart there are no rules, what we expresse is received and felt by others.

     1. Yes, beautifully said Steve, so very simple feelable.

     2. Yes Steve, Our-inner-heart’s knows and expresses, which is felt when the others ‘are’ ready, so, could it be said that at times to express nothing is what is required?

234. Yeah although a handy tool, the spell and grammar check cannot at this stage feel what we are trying to express.

     1. Correct, it can only put out what once was put in.

        1. And so can not accept or allow anything that has not been inputted by the intellect – and thus, if we express from a different source, the computer may resist. But, this is just a computer and spell-check…where else do we resist true inspiration, teachings or expression because of the filters that we have previously installed and maintained?

235. Without a doubt Serge Benhayon’s books are true healing in the written form.

     1. I completely agree, this can very clearly be felt.

236. The education system is all about conforming, it is not a bit of wonder that I hated school and that was forty odd years ago – it is far worse today. Conforming creates reductionism, a lessening or shutting down of who we truly are and what we are here to bring.

237. There are never any rules from the heart.

     1. except that one 🙂

238. Editing is a challenging process especially when the editor has their own ideas of what or how they think you should write.

239. Words are like buckets that carry energy. Focusing on the style and size of the bucket is to totally miss the significance of what’s carried inside.

240. An interesting point to bear in mind for myself when writing or editing.

241. I love what you have shared Anon, “I have become aware that words hold an energetic expression way beyond all the spelling rules and grammatical workings.” The inner heart has its own way of expressing coming forth from the uniqueness we each one of us hold, it has its own flavour of truth, which the mind would want to dampen and control.

242. ‘Serge’s books offer the choice to be read from the body and to let go of the conditioning of the mind.’ – truth is felt through our body, we recognise and know truth even when our mind struggles to ‘understand’, everything is felt first and from there our understanding grows.

243. All expression of any kind is either true or it is not.

244. I have also noticed how I used to write short sentences – somehow imagining that they delivered the point with more clarity and exactness and precision; but I am now wondering whether this rather unusual style of syntax was in fact a form of individualism. True expression does not come from me, it is not mine, I did not create it and so any move or alteration that I make to try and turn it into an ‘unique-otto-style-expression’ is a bastardisation of what was being offered. Now that isn’t to say that each of our styles of expression should be homogenised – definitely not – we all have very different and unique expressions that should be embraced for the alternate reflections that they can offer – but it is that attempt at ownership through forced stylisation that I need to be wary of. Fascinating stuff.

245. I often get prompted to add commas and am certainly conditioned to use them frequently. But I have been noticing that sometimes they can actually be a brief moment of relief or a little get-out-clause, a break in the flow of the expression that can sometimes weaken the power of what is being delivered. Certainly there is no fixed formula and these tools can be a cap on our individual expression which is about so much more than just correctly spelt words – every expression has a flow and that is delivered, constricted or supported dependant on how punctuation is used.

246. I have school children pushed into writing according to what’s right and wrong grammatically and then looking bewildered when asked to write creatively. It’s like they are saying, ‘hang on a minute, you’ve asked me to forsake all what I feel in what I write so I can fit into a box only constructed of following rules, and now you want me to retrieve what I’ve painfully suppressed?’

247. I often have noticed that what I sense is true often is different to what the ‘rules’ of the world are. It seems like many others have felt the same.

248. When we express from our bodies we are confirming all that we are feeling.

249. How often do we calibrate what we express, whether written or verbal, to accommodate what we think others want to hear/should hear? But this way of expression comes from our mind rather than our hearts and bodies. When we express from our bodies the truth of what we express is felt.

250. “How often are we writing from the depths of our connection with another and expressing this for all? Or are we writing to conform to the standards that yes, tick the boxes, but offer little more?

     Great question, and I would say far more the latter than the former.

251. This morning I had a group job interview with 15 coaches and we all had to present ourselves and the question for me was a bit similar: do I present what they want to hear to make sure I get the job, which also meant focussing on what my skills are and what my work experience is or do I present who I am and the qualities and values I bring and give them all of me?

     1. I can feel the difference -just by your writing- of you bringing all of you or focus on presenting them your skills. The latter feels conditioned and a smaller version of ourselves. This is mainstream though. In companies it is all about skills, competencies and knowledge. You get rated for that. Not for you bringing you, nothing more, nothing less.

        1. Yes, be get rated and we have KPI’s for our results and often it doesn’t matter how we reached them. Where are the group KPI’s based on us working in brotherhood and with a checkup of how are bodies are?

252. Independently of what we use the written expression for, it plays a key role in the world of ours to feed the consciousness we adhere to when we use our writing for changing the world, try to convince others, defending the status quo etc. Given that every of those activities is done within a consciousness, it is not surprising that these writings do not add to any truth. Exposing truth through writing is a different ball altogether because is free from consciousness and is aimed at deconstructing them. That is why, true expression defies spelling checks.

253. ‘..I have become aware that words hold an energetic expression way beyond all the spelling rules and grammatical workings.’ I wasn’t aware of this until recent years and now I am open to reading the energy behinds words instead of taking them so literally. I find each word has a certain meaning and vibration and this can change depending on the intention behind how someone uses it. I am now aware that words can be used as a weapon/tool to either heal or harm.

254. I love this and I am one that has struggled all my life to conform to the ‘right’ way of expressing with grammar and when I do try and fit into that box it totally stunts my true expression.

255. When we write in a way where we blindly allow the accepted ‘rights and wrongs’ of punctuation, grammar etc to guide us, we are in danger of losing what it is we are needing to share. I used to be one who conformed to the accepted norms without question, that was until I began to read the works of Serge Benhayon. Reading Serge’s books was often difficult to begin with as how he wrote challenged everything I had known, but gradually I began to let go of the grammatical constructs of the past and allowed myself to embrace a new way of expressing, a way that now feels so true and very liberating.

256. I find I feel rather critical when I write something and then re-read it. Whatever is written is always felt too, so far better to express what is felt rather than have an image of how things should be.

257. Anonymous, this article is really interesting to read. I have noticed that the spell check can often try and structure my sentences and that this completely changes the essence of what I wanted to say. And so I am learning to go with what I feel and not a set structure that changes my natural expression.

258. Its very good to stand still for a moment and feel where we are at.. If it is actually our true “normal” that we are living, including our writing and or spelling check. Thank you for bringing this back to our awareness as it we can deepen everyday.

259. How often are we blown away by the power and wisdom in a young child’s expression although we can at times laugh at the combination of the words they have used and the way they have delivered it?
     Truth is an energetic thing, when we get caught up with how we dress our expression we are already reducing and twisting what there is to be delivered.

260. We should never judge someone or what they are writing on if the right spelling is used or the right punctuation. I feel we need to first and foremost feel what the person is saying which is very easy to do if we commit to it.

261. We spend so much time trying to make our writing look or read a particular way, comparing to others enormously, when actually every piece of writing has a unique purpose and thus every article, essay or dissertation can be unique in a way that support this.

262. Thank you for this blog because I know that I can get caught up in the grammar side of things at the expense of allowing a true flow to occur when I write and this is a great reminder to look beyond grammar rules.

263. A great point is raised here – I know I have been conditioned to want writing and grammar to be a certain way and this is from education – not what is truly felt and needed from the way things are expressed. So this is brilliant to bring to our attention to consider where the way we write comes from.

264. Writing in a free flowing energetic way definitely is reshaping the landscape as far as true integrity of what has been written. When we style any way of expression on another we are capping our potential to evolve. Then the words have to come with a deeper understanding of there true meaning, as has already bean shared with; “Truth in word: This is the first key to true understanding.”

265. I loved reading this blog – thank you Anonymous. This quote, as much as the whole blog completed it for me, is what I honestly feel where to comment about … ““Truth in word: This is the first key to true understanding.” (1)” — I love it .. and if I was to honour what it is saying I should write why “I love it” and truly understand the correct words to what is I am feeling..
     The more I commit to life the more I understand my feelings. Now, I generally, without demeaning what I am saying here, know what I am feeling — it is either true or not true. For too long I have given in to others telling me how I should feel and what my feelings are (this is the conforming). As I respect myself and grow more into how fulfilling it is to nominate or express how it is I’m feeling the more I know and confident in knowing the truth of what is going on around and in me. And this is only the beginning as this quote states. This is what I love about expression there is always a greater depth.

266. Spelling and punctuation are simply rules that people have made up and we allow ourselves to be governed by them to the extent that they become more important than the energetic feeling and true meaning of words.

267. ‘Or are we writing to conform to the standards that yes, tick the boxes, but offer little more?’ … more and more we are becoming a ‘tick the box’ society, where it becomes more about how things ‘look’ rather than how they truly are, how they feel and what effect is this having on us and everyone else. How refreshing it will be when we can let down our guard and communicate with each other straight from our hearts, no holding back – truth-full expression, with love.

268. What you are sharing feels like a gorgeous celebration of our selves and each other – it’s a joyful confirmation of all that we are when we express our truth without ‘conforming’ and diluting the gift being offered.

269. “Serge’s books offer the choice to be read from the body and to let go of the conditioning of the mind. An opportunity to feel the deep impact the words are having on healing the body, rather than feeding the body more knowledge in the way we are accustomed to.” The vibration in the words ask you to be nothing other than the truth of who you are, this is the one true healing that is fundamental to living joyfully responsible.

270. “Truth in word: This is the first key to true understanding.” This sent a frisson of recognition through my whole body when I read it. Absolutely no doubt that every true meaning of a word, combination of words, point of punctuation, order and flow of sentences deliver more than we are lead to ordinarily understand.

271. Is it possible that those labelled with learning difficulties such as dyslexia aren’t necessary dis-abled from things such as reading and writing but that they struggle with measured and controlled expression in the written word?

272. It says a lot when we are more anal about grammar and spelling the than we are about our true state and quality of well being.

273. My grammar skills have always been excellent by written standards – my grandmother was an English teacher which helped as did my natural attention to the rules of grammar. I even remember getting a top mark in my first English course at uni based on a grammar quiz. And yes, having read Serge’s books I also thought…erm, hang on, these sentences are a little too long. In any case, I’ve since come to find my own expression through my emails. It’s fun and doesn’t have to be prescriptive.

274. We need to un-autocorrect the way that we live. With every venture we take we slip into ‘the normal route to take’ before we even know it. But don’t let your life be automatically filled in by lies.

275. I love that you have introduced this Anonymous. Punctuation and ‘getting it right’ was drummed into me as child at school and also at home. And while I have always had a certain standard with this aspect of writing I also feel I have been bound by it. To allow another the freedom to express through writing where there is no right or wrong, but simply a flow of their true expression is to truly honour them and their connection to the Divine, and then we all get the benefit rather than an interpretation of their expression.

276. Serge’s books offer a depth of wisdom unlike anything else I have ever read. On each re-reading there is always more that is revealed to me – so many levels of energetic truth.

277. Words carry much more than their dictionary definition of meanings, and their configuration, including the spelling, matters greatly. It is very limiting to have the righteousness ‘correcting’ whatever it perceives as not acceptable.

278. This is a truth and teaching we should have never lost (along with many others) and something that many more of us should be aware of, or maybe feel and are aware of but as a current global society do not hold this of importance. It should be taught in schools today that ‘words hold an energetic expression way beyond all the spelling rules and grammatical workings.’ When we start to make everything about energy first, including words and we write/express, that is when we will truly start to evolve.

279. Great subject and it is so true that the power of our expression can be supported by spelling and punctuation etc, but we always need to be aware that true expression does not necessarily conform to the rules we have been taught and we need to stay open to receiving communication in different ways than we might have been expecting.

280. “Conforming or Confirming our True Expression?” I love it. To conform or to confirm. We have this choice every moment of the day.

281. I love the term ‘accelerated flow’ as it feels free of rules and hindrances to allowing what needs to be expressed come through in full, expanding our awareness.

282. One word which I have re-discovered the true meaning of is the word ‘occult’. Far from having the dark and sinister meaning the modern interpretation purports it to have, this word actually has a universal meaning – from an occult perspective we get to see life as purely divine and nothing less, it is absolute. From the occult perspective, we just are. How is it possible that we have allowed this meaning be corrupted in the way that it has? The revelation of the true meaning of this word has enriched my understanding of life beyond measure.

283. ‘I have noticed that when I am editing my own or other people’s writing that the true expression that confirms what that person feels to write may not always fit the norm.’ – I love that you raise this Anonymous – I have felt exactly the same way and what I am appreciating is that it’s for us to celebrate our own expression and that of another, this allows us to feel them more deeply. If we try to change what someone has written, we are then trying to fit us all into the same box and the essence of that person in their expression is lost.

284. “Serge’s books offer the choice to be read from the body and to let go of the conditioning of the mind” – very true Anonymous, and this is why when you read Serge’s books, because they are to be read and felt from the body, and our body is a unit of energy that continually changes its vibration, that when you read the book, sentence, page again, it says, speaks something ‘new’, additional, deeper level to your body in light of its (energetic, vibrational) change. It is for this reason that Serge’s book are living and ‘alive’ over being static condition.

285. Quality of expression lives in its energetic basis and not it’s adherence to established rules.

286. Certain software not only suggests correction for spelling and basic grammar but also the structuring of sentences etc. This is not simply correcting spelling errors but altering the expression of what was written.

287. With Serge Benhayon’s books every word every line paragraph and comma are placed for us to deepen our awareness and understanding. Serge does not follow or conform to the rules that have been imposed on us with writing through the education system, and this is so refreshing. I struggled at a school because of this, and I learnt that there was a right way and wrong way to write which stifled any natural expression I may have had and encouraged me to compare myself to my piers who were deemed intelligent.

288. Very true Anonymous. I find these days that I am beginning to break these grammatical constructs and go with my expression, because there is a particular quality in the sentence that needs to be conveyed, which gets lost if I conform to the correct rules. It takes some doing though, those green lines feel very authoritative, but gradually I am learning that it is my choice to adhere to them or not, and to go with them only if what is offered can better express what I want to say as opposed to squeezing it into a rule and thereby reducing its power.

289. I know what you mean I can write something and the spell checker comes back with the information that it is grammatically incorrect, well it may be, but it’s what I want to say so I leave the words as they are. As you point out we can get too bogged down in the technicalities and in doing so the flow of what is required to be said is missing.

290. This is wonderful, a beautiful testament to the writings of Serge Benhayon and how it is possible for anyone to write in this way as his is not the writings of an exclusive order but rather the expression of an energetic source which every person has access to.

291. You have made a great point that so often we can get caught up in wanting what we have written to tick all the boxes we forget about the energetic quality of. The choice becomes are we willing to give more voice to the world of energy, knowing that everything we do, say or touch comes with a quality of energy which is often felt well beyond the words or more to the world of form, the physical and tangible realm that we live in?

292. Getting it right and ticking the boxes that what we write has to be perfect in grammar form is a belief, a way of conditioning the body from giving our all.

293. I spent a majority of my life writing and expressing little. I never liked writing in school because of all of the rules it required. With age comes wisdom, so it is said, I see it as the wisdom of giving up living by what others think and just express. Sometimes a sentence can become a paragraph and I like comas, a lot! We are all different in what we bring, so why should our expressions have so many rules? I also enjoy ignoring the sat-nav instructions and go exploring!

294. I really do like this blog, as I often comment on blogs and disagree with what grammar and spell check are are trying to point out to me it sometime seems they are trying to scupper my expression.

295. I work with the intellectually disabled, many of whom are not able to either write or speak. With the understanding that everything is expression and that everything is either true expression or false expression, I am able to feel clearly that truth does not need words in order to be expressed.

296. We are very caught up in rules and wrong and right, not in the quality that’s being delivered. Humanity is not in a great place, we truly do need healing and that can’t come from just box ticking to meet temporal standards, we need more than just to support the world to function, human beings also need the ability to connect to their soul and bring that into every facet of life. Box ticking won’t get us out of the mess, only living soulfully will.

297. I so appreciate your article Anonymous. When ww get caught up on the rules of grammar at the expense of the authors expression we kill the life of the party so to speak.

     1. So true, Elaine, it’s such a ‘set up’ for us when we get dragged into the details of being ‘correct’ as in the process we can completely alter the energetic integrity of what is being shared. Allowing the truth, as expressed, to remain the divine spark of light that it is, is way more supportive for humanity than changing it so it’s more ‘understandable’ for where we are at right now, which isn’t a great place.

298. Thank you Anonymous for your honest blog. I love what you have shared as I am a person who are not good in this grammar writing thing. When I write I only write how it comes out of my body and I was often fighting it because of not writing it in the correct grammar way. Your awesome blog help me to confirm myself more in the way I express myself – wonderful.

299. We have an accepted way to which we fastidiously adhere – but it’s clear that this way has nothing to do with Love – it is just an arbitrary set of accepted rules. So important to follow our heart not what we’re told is the right way.

     1. I agree Joseph, and why would we set these rules? Because when we listen to our heart and express from there, there are no rules just our fiery impulse expressing absolute love.

     2. It’s important for us to be open to the fact that sometimes our propensity for adhering to ‘the rules’ can be a distraction that is working against us and actually retarding us, preventing us from moving forward and evolving, which is our true purpose.

     3. Yes, when we consider it there are many arbitrary man-made rules that we follow without question, so it is liberating to find our own way in life by bringing it back to being about love and what feels true.

300. I appreciate the wisdom of the body in reading, writing and expressing from it, when we do not use knowledge but an intelligence deeper than that.

     1. There is a huge difference when I read from my head through trying to intellectualise the expression compared to when I read from an openness in my body and letting go of knowledge.

301. The truth of words is felt energetically.

302. When we express from our inner heart there is no right or wrong, it just simply flows and we can all feel the love emanating when it comes from this place of harmony.

303. Very cool what you have highlighted here in how we are conforming to rules or expressing from our truth and depth of our connection. I know I would far prefer the latter than having a comma in the right place! But this just shows what we have deemed important for so long. One thing I have noticed with all the technology and typing on a computer and phone is when I hand write I cannot spell or read my writing! It just goes to show how technology isn’t always the best way.

304. Our bodies innately know truth… in whatever form it comes, whether it be something we read or hear, our body will let us know if it is true or not.

     1. I agree Paula and this is the amazing thing about listening to our body, we would be able to discern what is true and what is not.

305. Our ideals and beliefs contain us and hold back our expression… let go of them and we are free to express our truth.

     1. Totally agree and very conscious of this in me. Also so aware of how words and structure and punctuation can be used to present a version of myself. Emojis too – they are then new “expression-restrictor” and I have found myself using them too often rather than expressing in full what I truly feel.

306. Just like the written word, I find that people speaking from their lived experience also can carry a power and depth to it. There is no end to the depth of truth that can be expressed when we are connected and live from our inner hearts.

     1. Same here Jenny, I can feel the power and depth when someone is expressing truth when they live and walk what they express.

307. We all have a completely different way of expressing ourselves so it makes no sense that we trust a one size fits all computer to edit our words and natural expression.

     1. A sat-nav will get you from A to B, but you cannot yet, tell it to take the scenic route. How often do we give our power away to tools, no matter how smart or intelligent they are, they are still just aids!

308. Serge Benhayon’s purple books are like no others, they bring an incredible wisdom and depth so they can be re-read many many times, and still not all is understood.

     1. Even single sentences or quotes can be read many times and new understandings come each time.

     2. and every time you read, it is fresh and new with further layers revealed – they are a living miracle

     3. I agree Gill and I have been amazed at how they highlight deconstruct any patterns I have in how I read and take in information.

309. We can express a truth that will not be liked, but it is about being OK with how others react, knowing that you have offered a truth that actually allows growth and evolution. My challenge lies in not hardening once I have offered the truth and feel another’s reaction – or otherwise I just want to run away… So really it is about expressing the truth and allowing space for this to be digested, and on my side being OK with others not accepting what is on offer.

310. “Serge’s books offer the choice to be read from the body and to let go of the conditioning of the mind. An opportunity to feel the deep impact the words are having on healing the body, rather than feeding the body more knowledge in the way we are accustomed to.” – This is so beautiful and so true, for in our current society and with most books, there is a conditioning and few written things actually allow you to be, and even fewer yet offer a true healing.

311. I enjoy writing a lot more now I do not constrict myself to the grammar I learnt at school.

312. When I first started reading Serge Benhayon’s books I was trying to do so from a mental understanding. Now, when I read them from my body, I understand and feel what is being expressed also aware that there are layers to this understanding that I will read again and go to.

313. What I have actually noticed about my spelling, is that I continually mis-spell the same words and have been for what feels like my whole life. So this begs the question ‘where am I when I correct a mis-spelt word, that I am not able to correct it in my brain and not mis-spell it again?’.

314. Anonymous what you have bought up for me is the much broader issue that is brought about by applying the labels of ‘wrong’ and ‘right’. We are all taught to write in a specific way and that certain ways of writing are ‘right’ and certain ways are ‘wrong’. This very basic application of labels is applied to so many aspects of our life and it limits our ability to explore something from the truth of our own body because the drawbridge of judgement has already come down.

315. “Truth in word: This is the first key to true understanding.” what a great quote to consider, after all if there is no truth in the words then what is indeed the understanding that we all mostly take from something?

316. I was at a writing course recently and was taken by the number of people who have a fear of writing because they cannot spell or they find that there writing is challenged by the ‘rules’ of writing. What stopped me in my tracks was how amazing there expression is, like I would love hearing them speak and what they had to offer was simply amazing. Then I realised that the ‘rules’ of writing can stop us from expressing to the full. That they can impose on someone’s natural abilities and natural strengths in expression. When the ‘rules of writing take precedence we all miss out on the wonder of someone’s natural expression, because it doesn’t fit into a box. Serge Benhayon’s books do not fit into a box and he certainly does not stop writing because it may not fit the ‘rules’ of writing. This is super inspiring for anyone who thinks twice about writing because they struggle with the ‘rules’.

317. If we write to fit in then we write constrained by the box of comfort and safety. That box may well be contributing to the illness and dis-ease we are living therefore giving ourselves and others permission to write outside the box is step 1 to freedom in expression. What is interesting is that there is an irresponsibility which comes with freedom of expression which pulls people to try to control it so if we all lived with the foundation that freedom to express is not freedom to abuse perhaps we would all feel more free to live outside the box.

318. Yes often we write/edit according to our computer than to ourselves. An interesting point you raise.

319. To rely on subscribed modes of expression, when often the mood of what we want to articulate doesn’t fit with the acceted paradigm, can often cap our expression. One of the most lovely things about children I feel is when they express and get their grammar all mixed up. The sense of what they are communicating isn’t lost but there can be such a sweetness and authenticity in the expression.

320. I think there is much the education system is answerable to, in terms of ‘stunting’ natural expression, as it only allows a certain way that is deemed right… anything else is deemed unacceptable and we end up with populations unable to express their truth in full as a result. What a clever way we have created to hold back evolution!

321. This is definitely something to observe and I very much agree with the structuring of a sentence, it is beautiful to read when someone simply expresses the way they feel and how they perceive the world, without trying to be inline with the grammar and punctuation one has learned.

322. Grammar as we are taught it, has far more to do with crushing our expression and getting us to conform to set ideals and standards that have little to do with what is true, than it does with supporting us to express from the depth of who we truly are, thereby providing an opportunity for another to feel this quality that lives equally within them also. This is yet another example of the evil of reductionism and how in order to weaken our true expression, which is Oneness, we have been played to operate as ‘individualised units’ that have truncated from ‘the whole’ and do not relate back to it.

323. I love this Anonymous as I love language and have more and more let go of any rules or ‘have to’s’ when it comes to how I formulate what I feel to express. It is fine to have some common sense about it but when the expression is compressed, controlled or even altered because of it we lose a lot in quality.

324. Great blog Anonymous on the importance of the lived expression of words, rather than ticking the correct ‘grammar boxes’. It took me a little while to be able read the Purple Books by Serge Benhayon as they are and then could feel the truth of the words in my body. Something way beyond the understanding in my mind
     Learning to let go of these standards and connecting to the flow and volume offered, I have become aware that words hold an energetic expression way beyond all the spelling rules and grammatical workings.

325. I recognize what you write here anonymous: ‘Serge’s books offer the choice to be read from the body and to let go of the conditioning of the mind. An opportunity to feel the deep impact the words are having on healing the body, rather than feeding the body more knowledge in the way we are accustomed to.’ When I read the first book I couldn’t read more than 1 or 2 pages, every time my head kicked in and tried to control and grab what the book offered instead of what was offered through the writing. Slowly, slowly I am learning to feel my body respond to what I read and by that the enormous opportunity to connect to the universal wisdom that Serge offers actually with everything he presents: his books, Serge tv, the sermons, the workshop and presentations.

326. I totally agree Anonymous of what you express here, we are very conditioned to how an expression needs to be to fit the norm… I find Serge’s books an ever expanding, evolving experience, every page can be read over and over and different aspects of it will or won’t be understood depending on where I am at in my evolution.

     The way he writes comes from the abundance of multi-dimensionality we are ALL
     from which can help to re-configure, heal, clear or process another layer of healing or “accelerated flow” and “abundance of healing” as you express it so.

327. The more that I write I find that what needs to be said is there, in a simple feeling, but there are no words, until I sit and begin to write. Then one word after another comes, is written and then there is the next. This does not stay within the ‘correct grammar’, but allows the love, wisdom and beauty of God to be spoken, as and when it is needed.

328. The way Serge Benhayon writes is, as close as is possible, the way the Soul would speak; and thus, conforming syntax, grammar and punctuation don’t and can’t do this expression justice.

     1. Yes, Serge Benhayon’s books are another reflection for us of how to express from our Soul.

329. This is an interesting article and I like the fact that you pint out ‘I have become aware that words hold an energetic expression way beyond all the spelling rules and grammatical workings.’ I have observed how Serge Benhayon uses the words ‘affect’ and ‘effect’ interchangeably and not always in the way I learned they ‘should’ be used. When I let go of my belief system in regard to these two words and allow myself to feel deeper, then yes, there is an energetic effect that goes beyond mental knowledge.

     1. Conforming to the perceived norm or a certain perceived standard when writing can be extremely limiting in terms of expressing fully and we can cap ourselves in our true expression.
