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.

Colour and Class Distinction – Where Are You From?

As a woman of 38 years I have a mixed complexion that today is very normal, even the norm with the continuing integration of races, nationalities and cultures.

As a child growing up though, this was not quite so and ‘Skin Colour’ itself was a distinct theme which over the years had created a distinct sense of minority, inferiority, disadvantage, exclusion but also inclusion. And tainted by background or class, it seeded a supremacist ideal to spoil any ease or joy being felt or lived…

From a visual perspective I remember my looks confusing as much as fascinating and sparking wonder from people. I would get things like “…with that sounding name, where are you from?” and then they’d ask again “no, I mean where are you originally from?” And when I’d give the exact same reply to the first question, the third question came, “oh ok, but where are your parents actually from?”… Continue reading “Colour and Class Distinction – Where Are You From?” →

DAVID MILLIKAN: I Now Know Why I Must Step Up

by Janina Koch, Cologne, Germany

After what happened on Friday 12 October, 2012 in Australia, I felt to share that I am actually glad not to live in Australia at the moment but in Germany, which is quite far away. But I have also felt that I am not really involved in doing something about all the horrible attacks against Serge Benhayon and the Australian esoteric students – and really against us all, no matter if we live in Germany, UK, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, USA, Canada, New Zealand or in other parts of Australia.

From ‘One of the Lads’ to a Gorgeous Woman… Through Self-Love

by Rebecca Wingrave 

I spent about 20 years of my life drinking, partying, trying to be ‘one of the lads’ and generally having a complete lack of self-worth. I got really ill as a teenager from overindulgence in alcohol, but just carried on as it was what I felt gave me confidence and was what all young people did; I didn’t know another way of being.

I began suffering from digestive issues and so decided to seek help. I was advised by a nutritionist to stop eating gluten and dairy and to cut down on my alcohol consumption; over the next couple of years I started to feel better. I noticed how sick the alcohol made me so decided to stop drinking it altogether – the problem was that my social life was based around drinking and my friends found it hard to understand why I wanted to stop… I really felt like the odd one out.

From Sport to Exercise: A Journey of Self-Acceptance

by Kate Forno, Australia

My Involvement with sport started at a very early age and has continued for the last 52 years. That involvement has encompassed all levels of sport.

I started at the age of eight with swimming lessons, then competitive swimming, then gymnastics to improve my turns – I liked it, so I competed in that too until injury (ankles and neck) forced my retirement. Then there was ballroom dancing (in my day, what every young lady should know), but once again I felt the need to compete. Continue reading “From Sport to Exercise: A Journey of Self-Acceptance” →

Relationships: It’s Now About What I Feel, Not What Serge Benhayon Says

by Anonymous

I have changed my life for the better since participating in Serge Benhayon’s and Universal Medicine’s workshops.

What Serge has shared with me about relationships is that I must always love myself first before I can truly love another, and to give everyone the opportunity to feel loved by loving them first and not asking them or expecting it from them first – in turn letting them feel that they are love and can share this also.

I also recall Serge presenting to not walk away from another person if they find it difficult to accept either that they are love, or to let the love in and feel that there is in fact someone who loves them deeply; then it will be them who walk away – not us, and that this is the commitment to love that we need.
