Donkey Kong

by Otto Bathurst, UK

I remember really clearly, when I was a 13 or 14 year old boy, looking around me, at the world, at my parents, at the huge buildings, the big roads, the zillions of people, the machines, the days passing me by, back and forth to school, the adults back and forth to work, the books, the sports, the whole thing really, the whole of life and asking myself… “ is this it? all this gargantuan effort, scale, history, noise, life…. there MUST be more to it than just this?” Continue reading “Donkey Kong” →

No Wonderland… but Loads of Wonders

by Claudia P., Bonn, Germany, Health Coach (English 2nd language)

The Queen of Alice in Wonderland said to Alice: “If you want to stay on the same spot, you have to run as fast as possible.“

And as Alice in Wonderland, I was running through my life and had always the feeling something went really wrong; so much energy and so much effort and nothing changed my state of being.

I would still run, but about five years ago I attended a presentation from Serge Benhayon. Continue reading “No Wonderland… but Loads of Wonders” →

Hiding Behind my Beer Can!

by Mick S, Tradesman, age 42, Australia

Let’s start by asking first, what is alcohol? …To side track just for a moment, let’s use our kids drinking water with cordial added to it as an example. Many of us have told our kids less cordial more water. (And more than once!) This waters down the sugar intake thus leaving us to deal with a lesser grade of sugar infused craziness and definitely no red cordial please. Is this making sense!

So we then move on to alcohol, which as many of us would know, is basically fermented sugar. But did you also know that the body actually treats this type of sugar as a poison to the point where we get sick if we have too much (that would be the hangover) or even really sick if we have way too much… (and that would be the vomiting). Not to mention the fact that alcohol is usually flavoured – requiring more sugar, to which we then add a mixer, which is even more sugar. So the end result is a drink made from sugar to which we then add a HUGE amount of additional sugar  – and we’re worried about the kids’ crazy behaviour! …Are we really this crazy?

My Lovely Shoulders

by Jade Pattrick, Grandmother and Sales Assistant, Byron Bay, NSW

It was my on-going, debilitating shoulder pain that got me to Serge Benhayon’s books, presentations and workshops three years ago. I still have shoulder pain. However, I am now thanking my lovely shoulders because they have taught me to start paying attention to my body. Continue reading “My Lovely Shoulders” →

Soaring On A Trampoline

by Lee Green, Perth, Australia

Have you ever watched a person on a trampoline, reaching as they bounce into the sky? Observing the freedom and joy that they get from just being in the air for a period of time, knowing they will be steady, and that the next bounce will be the same, consistently powering them back up?

Then there are others who are more apprehensive and bounce a little lower, as if they want to stay near the ground, afraid to jump up and fly too high. The bounces are dependent on all manner of factors: height, weight, strength, balance, fear or no fear. It could be said that to soar effortlessly, a lot of choices have to come into harmony.
