Episode 10 - Religion, Co-existence & The Science of Reflection
This in-depth episode begins with the explosive question – what is the relationship between religion and violence… why do they seem to go hand in hand?
But is this the question we need to be asking or do we need to explore the nature of religion itself, what it is and what it definitely isn’t?
An inquiry that takes us to the heart of the philosophy of co-existence, this conversation exposes that beyond traditional notions of religion and tolerance there is a way to be with each other that will naturally unite us across borders and belief.
This is the future that awaits us if we are to say yes to opening ourselves to the evolution of the Science of Reflection. But how many of us want to see a way of living that might expose our current ways as falling short? And why is it that we can borrow each others cuisine (Thai food anyone?) and infuse it into our culture way before we will accept or explore each others ideas of religion?
In the second half of the interview Serge Benhayon explores a science that “gives us the ability to arrest once and for all a disease that effects all of humanity…”. A dis-ease that we may or may not realise, exists in nearly every home and workplace across the globe.
A revelatory episode…
‘If that’s not being lived it’s not religion’ True, we cannot just select the bits we like, religion is a whole livingness that applies to our full science and philosophy of life every day, every hour. I find it puzzling that many claim to ‘practise’ their religion when there is so much publicity now being made available about paedophilia in many of these institutions. We may live wholesome lives as individuals but we cannot for example ignore the paedophilia that is happening with the consent of the Roman Catholic Church’s hierarchy, it is a very real disease that is happening inside a religion with millions of followers. How many millions have been affected over its 2000 year history?
What is introduced to us through these interviews is our inevitable future way. The more we choose to embody what is presented the sooner this future will arrive for us all.
“There is a way to be with each other that will naturally unite us across borders and belief”. The openness and inclusivity expressed by young children shows that this way of relating to one another is an innate expression. What a joy to have the belief that we can’t live this as adults well and truly refuted.
‘…the new face of supremacy is evidence-based science.’ – this is so often seen in the world today – we all want tangible proof to accept anything and we need to blanket the way things are done. But in this, we allow no expansion for anyone else. What if we lived in a way that uplifted everyone rather than base the world on ‘our way is it’
At last we are given a clear understanding of what true religion is, and it is not what we have fallen for. To me true Religion is a relationship a one on one with God who holds us all in love. Not the emotional kind of love that we have accepted but with a love that is harmless to everyone and everything. When we are in harmony with God then we know that there is no way we could harm another because that harming energy is not in our bodies, we come to the understanding that everyone is equal; we are all the same.
It is so simple. If anyone even thinks violent thoughts then they clearly cannot be connected to the Love of God. When we truly take this on board we are empowered to see that all our wars, especially the ones where we have fought them in the name of God, clearly arise from our own arrogant willfulness and have nothing to do with a God who only emanates and impulses Love.
In fact this takes the bar to the fact that any thought, word or action that does not hold the absolute love, care, equalness and honouring of another can not possibly be connected to God. It is the fact that we do not choose to see the responsibility this clearly reflects that lets us keep dropping the bar until we end up just shrugging our shoulder at someone claiming that they are killing in the name of God.
When I speak to people, they don’t seem to have an issue with God per say, although that’s a mine field of its own, but their issue is with what has become synonymous with religion, what they think religion means and stands for based on the acts of violence, corruption, abuse and hate that occur under its banner. But just because they use that word doesn’t mean their actions represent it. We cannot allow the worse acts of humanity to be what defines our relationship with God, our religions – we need to set the standard, one that shows anything less than that standard to be not religion at all.
I keep coming back to the awesome fact that Serge Benhayon can discuss these subjects with such clarity without becoming embroiled in them. His level of observation and clear headed perspective empowers positive discussion that builds new awareness on how to develop real, solid unity in the world, true religion in action.
It is a breath of fresh air to have such expansion of understanding presented without inciting any emotional reaction, fuelling separation or pandering to any cold detached mental analysis. As always everything about Serge Benhayon invites a greater level of love, understanding, oneness and responsibility.
True Rowena – Serge Benhayon makes sense of what is going on, he makes the complicated things simple and easy to understand. When things make sense, they are no longer overwhelming.
This itself that so many atrocities have been carried out in the name of God and people’s interpretation of God’s word has been used to justify their actions has always seemed an anomaly that I could not understand. It is astonishing how we can have an awareness of how something is not true, but can not have the conviction to stand by that awareness. I love the way Serge Benhayon calls things out for what they are and is a great inspiration in deepening our connection with and commitment to truth and love of All.
Many more people would embrace religion if they understood its true meaning: love, harmony, oneness.
When I have heard Serge speak about true Religion it was like my whole body became at ease and harmonious instantly. It was what I had felt all along and what I kept looking around and seeing, pursuing to find was nothing that showed the simplicity yet the absolute honouring of what true religion is.
This episode completely debases the righteousness that sits underneath all our so-called ‘religious’ wars and exposes the fact that we are very capable of accepting other ways of living. The stronger our inner connection grows the more we realise who we are beyond our cultural norms and ideals and hence the simpler it becomes to re-kindle our connection to true brotherhood and a one unified truth.
I love how everything boils down to whether we are expressing the exquisiteness of the love, truth and harmony that is our innate essence, or we are choosing trillion ways of expressing the one energy that opposes that.
Being open to the reflection of another, opens us up to the possibility that we are more and the knowing that we are all more. We can constantly learn from each other if that is what we choose.
Why so explosive indeed, could this be a sign that there is something to learn from one another…I would say yes….there is always something to learn from what is reflected in life. This is something I am opening up to and it brings a deeper ability to live humbly.
The essential message is consistent, when we restore authentic integrity and love within our selves and within our families there is no room for disharmony, let alone violence and abuse. What is fascinating is how when these fundamental principles are adhered to, how far reaching and all encompassing they in delivering real answer to all our societal and global issues that cripple humanity and our innate knowing of brotherhood.
God cannot pick a side in war. He is with everyone equally. This interview brings so much clarity to religion and brings it back to the truth of it – how we have used religion to separate each other and cut relationships when this is the opposite of its true origin.
This is one of those discrepancies that most children seem to pick up, yet us adults seem to just let slide. If we are all God’s children, and if he loves his children, how could he possibly just favour some and abandon everyone else. And wouldn’t assigning to him the promotion of discord and harm of one another be simply preposterous?
You can see how complex and complicated we have made religion to be in the discussion about violence as part of religion. I love what Serge Benhayon said here, in that if there is violence it is not religion or part of religion. So simple because it comes from the true meaning of what religion is and that is relationship, re-binding and re-bonding. If we pondered more on this we to would realise that violence plays no part in religion. Perhaps we need to be reminded on what religion is truly about. Thank goodness for conversations such as this one that remind us of what we did once know, a long time ago and have forgotten.
There is no right and wrong only truth and love.
Beautifully said Kehinde. Right and wrong are one of the biggest forms of illusion that ingrains the separation from one another.
The science of reflection offers everything, love, live and let live. Life simplified.
A simple recipe for true success – live the qualities we want in the outside world within our selves, within our relationships and within our homes and hey presto, all this steady, wise and tender qualities to naturally pour into the world outside.
It doesn’t get more simple than that. Without this foundation, no action and no strategy will ever work, because it will carry the same seed that created the mess in the first place. And with this foundation, just as beautifully expressed here, we simply live those qualities and the rest will unfold as a natural loving expression of such a livingness.
I love the science of reflection and further more I love how its possible to actually not judge another by anything let alone their religion and that most important is the person, their beingness and not what they belong to. Yet by belonging to certain groups often means those that are part of that group tend to exclude and judge others. What if we saw each and everyone one of us as part of the one human family.
Many of the people I speak with are against religion purely on the grounds of what they have seen it represented to be that they know deep inside it is not – it is not separatism or elitism or violence, it does not raise one or a group above all else and when these actions are excused under the name of religion is it any wonder we shy away – but in doing so we lose the chance to possible connecting to the truth of religion.
How did religion which is in effect a confirmation of our connection and oneness with God, people, and the universe, end up including people’s choice to harm one another?
By diluting the meaning of words and the quality they reflect further and further, we keep lowering the bar and settling for less and less expression of humanity’s true glory.
Individuals such as Serge Benhayon who remain dedicated to living the light of the Soul offer an invaluable reflection that asks us to stop and reassess our choices.
The ripple effect of the reflection of Serge Benhayon’s living way is living proof of the truth of the science of reflection that Serge presents here in this interview.
The science of reflection should be in the curriculum of every school and recognised as an aspect of parenting.
Rather than focusing on what is wrong and instead identify and develop what is true and right would be so much more productive than the present model.
Religion and militancy – this is a great example of how we have eroded the true meaning of a word in order to accept and adopt what doesn’t belong as part of our normal, instead of holding the value of what is.
So true, we are very happy to share our culinary traditions and trade recipes with one another regardless of our culture, but we seem to close our hearts when it comes to our cultural traditions. We are missing out on so much love when we shun another culture’s successful societal recipes that respect and honour everyone, men, women and children alike. Forget rocket science, the central goal of humanity should be to produce a common code of living based on the One Unified Truth, a Universal Cook Book on how to live life!
Only one who lives, breathes and walks true religion can restore it through the words they speak and in doing so help to arise us back to the truth we have all departed from. Thank you Serge Benhayon for shedding great light on what has become a very darkened subject.
Hear hear. It is a blessing that we have someone among us like Serge Benhayon who lives, breaths and walks such an expression through and through, therefore what he communicates resounds as the truth that they are.
Equally what you share is a great reminder of the responsibility each of us have with the way we live, because no words on their own will ever bring about a change that humanity so dearly needs.
When we make it about right and wrong, divides appear that get further cemented and sanctified by movements and postulates that seek to defend, shore up and postulate. In that we strive for a security that is as shaky as everything that is not love in a universe where love is all.
It is truly baffling when you start to look at it: how can anyone harm, terrorise and kill another under the guise of religion?
I have attended university, browsed through countless books, attended numerous workshops, immersed myself in many philosophies, tried out various techniques just to get sense of settlement with a world and human expression that simply did not make sense. Not until I met Serge Benhayon did it all start to unravel and make sense.
Totally agree with what Serge Benhayon is saying about the need for us all to co-exist, learn from one another and then in the end we will come to a one unified truth that supports us all.
How can we have violence in religion, it doesn’t make sense, it’s two completely different, completely polar opposite things. It’s like putting oil into pure water and then still calling it water. And could it not be that it’s only possible for us to have violence because we have not applied true all-encompassing religion to life?
The way that Serge Benhayon has made the definite distinction between militancy and religion is very important, so that religion can remain as it is – a connection with the divine – and not taken off in to other activities which are nothing to do with its true purpose at all.
I find it invaluable to go to the root of words and clarify their true meaning. This is particularly significant for words that colour our understanding and relationship with life. Without this dedication we will continue to lower the quality of love, care, health, decency and responsibility with which we are living.
Serge Benhayon masterfully shows how it is not religion per se that is the cause of violence as violence is not part of what religion truly means. Therefore any system/organisation that pertains to be a religion yet allows violence is not a religion in the true meaning of the word.
Rebecca says ‘ a moment of reaction is a moment of choice’ in talking about the reflections we offer each other and Serge goes on to talk about the Science of Reflection and how we can choose to get jealous, react, get furious or instead be inspired – it is such a different way of responding and one I am working with. We can all choose to be inspired instead of reacting.
I just love the way Serge Benhayon so simply nails the truth time and again. When we entertain violence in any form or manner, our very choice to indulge has immediately cut our relationship with God. This realisation alone can heal the enormous pain that we, humanity has suffered through all the wars we have fought ‘in the name of God’. True religion brings us closer together so we can confirm and deepen our loving ways and connection to one another. It never entertains any thought or action that will hurt or compromise another.
There is no violence in religion, only Love. It is only when the force of societal politics gets involved – through seeing how ‘religious’ dogma can have a hold over people and can control – that murder and abuse is committed, erroneously in the name of religion.
I found this episode to remind me that life is simply about harmony, love, truth decency and respect. If we have that with each other and the planet we live on and within we will not have this relationship with religion and the abuse that word has become synonymous with.
As simple as that: if there is violence there can’t be religion, because violence is not part of religion. Religion is about love, harmony, about brotherhood, everybody co-existing and having respect for each other. If that is missing there is no religion.
And we know that the Science of Reflection will one day be an integral and fundamental aspect of education… yes, hard to imagine now, but remember that once the world was definitively flat!
It really hits home how the ill use of words can impact us so much more than we realise. Serge has shared before about how this can be worse than a nuclear weapon, it is the ill use of words and the evidence of this fact is all around us today, where so many are put off by religion simply because of how it has come to be even though it has never ever been true religion to begin with.
The genius and beauty of love right there – in Serge Benhayon.
‘Jadedness within religion’ is true, many of us are looking for something more but not finding it within the established and more traditional religions. The Way of The Livingness feels to me to offer a true approach and one that encompasses all of life every day wherever we are, not just a visit to the temple, mosque, synagogue or church one day a week.
I love the way this interview shows how belittling, denegrating and bad mouthing existing religions just keeps us stuck in more of the same. The judgement we’re in won’t let us see the true simplicity that’s there. Serge Benhayon makes it so clear that everything is possible when we truly wish to understand and choose to come from our heart. In fact it’s this misalignment that’s the bit that has been causing us grief all along.
One of the amazing revelations of what Serge Benhayon presented that I love is the fact that you can not have any given religion with conflict/war and actually consider that a religion because it goes completely against the meaning of the word religion and all it stands for. What a brilliant observation and one that sets the true marker for religion as it is lived to the utmost by Serge and through The Way of The Livingness.
This is a wonderfully clear pronunciation of the fact that if group is claiming to be religious and performing violent acts under that group then the said group is not and cannot ever be ‘religious’.
Religion is our relationship to God, to each other, and to the natural world around us – it is about Brotherhood, community, respect for one another, and there is no room for violence. Religion has no violence in it. Thank you Serge Benhayon and Rebecca Asquith for this presentation of truth.
There is much to re-dress in religion for all to live naturally so in harmlessness and thus without violence.
How refreshing to have the truth about Religion delivered here by Serge Benhayon. Theres is a deep resonance and knowing in my body that confirms this to be so.
I love the idea of taking what is true from all cultures and religions and coming up with something that works for all and discarding that which is untrue and doesn’t work. How many more times to we have to go round the sun before we do this as we all know that way the majority of are living is just not working.
It’s so simple isn’t it Kev, everyone working together to develop a living way that is harmonious and loving for all.
I agree Kev and I wonder if humbleness is the key to breaking the cycle of pretending things are working when they’re not, there’s a certain level of humbleness needed to admit things aren’t working and also to admit that we don’t have all the answers ourselves.
I feel that what Serge Benhayon is suggesting is that if we lived and let live, then this would indeed separate the wheat from the chaff so to say. It would soon become blindingly obvious which Religion was up holding the truth or not. But of course this won’t happen for a few lifetimes yet because Religion as it is today doesn’t want to be exposed for not being it.
I love the sensible and practical way in which Serge Benhayon breaks things down, for example what he is saying in this interview about evidence based science. Our bodies are the evidence of how we are living, so if something has supported me to be more vital, more caring of myself and others, more joyful at work and in life etc then that is true evidence and it cannot be dismissed as not evidence enough or the “correct” kind of evidence as the current scientific model would have us believe.
So true Elizabeth and I wonder what wonders are not being realised because of the current scientific model?
“Religion does not have violence in it” Serge Benhayon. This is so true and actually what we all feel and know about religion.
Religion is love – returning to the great love that we are. There is no harm in love and if there is, it is not love but an imposter we have allowed in love’s place.
Interesting how Evidence Based Science was also raised in this discussion, even briefly. I was at a presentation recently where the presenter was sharing on there experience of working with a person with a particular health condition and shared how they treated them for 6 months and how there health had changed as a result. What was interesting was that some of the audience reacted asking for evidence to show the effectiveness of the treatment. Basically dismissing what had been presented in front of them. The irony of this was that there were also many other presenters that said during the series of lectures that in there particular subject that there was no or very little evidence to how they work, relying in their clinical experience. So we can never have evidence of everything for evidence is basically playing catch up to what we inherently know anyway.
Coming to understand the true meaning of religion, further supported by this interview, I find I stumble on the word, almost as if I have to reconfigure in some way to be able to say it without all that we have brought it to mean over the years and its association with the institutions set up as ‘religious’ that have caused so much pain and suffering for so long. Religion in its true meaning is one of the most beautiful and sacred words and qualities. I would definitely recommend watching this interview.
Love this – to understand what is true and right and bring this back into society rather than looking at what is wrong. We are quick to go to the drama and the extremes, but it is about living in a way that brings the truth of what we know.
I love this too, and it starts with us, in our own lives and bodies. Rather than focus on what is bad in ourselves focus on our strengths, then build those strengths till we are not pulled to some of the coping mechanisms we would class as ‘bad’.
If we can stop and appreciate one another’s culinary expressions why do we treat religion any different. They are all expressions of how we live. Thank you Serge Benhayon for delivering the truth in the most simple yet powerful form.
We can look at how people live and can feel at a very deep level the truth of their way. Beliefs are just that, beliefs, they are not necessarily truth.
Good point, Rebecca, that humans go into reaction when truth is being presented and, as Serge Benhayon says, ‘Jealousy is the fury of you seeing others making choices that you are not prepared to make’ indeed it is only when we are willing to look at every reflection offered to us by life, that we can truly evolve.
Looking for scientific answers outside ourselves when the simplicity is offered by our reflections. Absolute GOLD!
I love how Serge Benhayon keeps reminding us of the actual meaning of words and the truth of our essence. Everything else is then so much easier to observe and discern for the falsity that it introduces to the life we are living.
The science of reflection is a wonderful tool to support our day-to-day quality in life.
I have to agree Michael, although it can also be uncomfortable to feel at the time as we are often seeing ourselves, our behaviour and living way in the mirror constantly. It is a great wake up or a great confirmation of how we are choosing to live.
A great marker to know that we all have an opportunity to reflect this same truth if we choose to make life about understand and deeply caring for one another.
‘Allow people to live and let the Living Way show itself’ great advice, live and let live, everybody will come to a true way of living in their own time. We are providing reflections for each other. Decency is the word Serge Benhayon uses as a minimum way we need to be towards each other.
So true Carmel. A deep wisdom that empowers us to see, quite literally, the evidence before us and hence provide us with a genuine choice. If a way of living starts producing the results we are all longing for then surely it makes sense to explore and embody it, regardless of which country, nationality or creed it is arising from, a way that restores a common decency as our baseline for all our interactions and negotiations.
Religions that uplift each other, adopting the highest living way, until there is one unified religion. This feels like the future of religion.
Boy does Serge raise the bar of social responsibility to heights most have not dared to even consider much less action. Serge is a living walking breathing example of someone who not only leads the way for us all, he lives it in every single moment of his life.
Yes and yes again, Joshua and in so living this quality, Serge simply shows us what is possible… there is nothing that he lives that is unattainable for anyone of us.
Good point, food is a great connector between cultures but when it comes to beliefs there are great divides, and Serge makes the point that we don’t like to be proven wrong. This is true, we prefer to know that we are right, supremely and arrogantly so, with complete disregard for the absolute truth of every situation. Our bodies know truth so we need to listen to our bodies.
Totally inspired once again and have already watched this twice, the second time hearing even more than the first. What jumped out for me was the fact that we more often than not allow ourselves to be ‘grabbed by the wrong’ and make that the focus, instead of looking at every other part of what we are being presented with. To look at the whole of anything, and in this case religion, we can quickly see that the abhorrent behaviours of some do not represent the truth of the whole; for example, as Serge shares “militancy is not religion”. I absolutely love the way this man makes sense of a world that at times is very hard to understand.
Absolutely beautiful, thank you Rebecca and Serge.
If a group or person adopts supremacy thoughts/behaviours/tones etc that immediately gives away the fact that they are holding an ideal or belief of life that is fallible and unwilling to learn from their imperfections. Watching Serge speak I never got the sense of defending his way of life but simply holding it as his truth without imposing it on anyone, co-existence in practice.
Especially as we all know we can not do it alone!
Rebecca and Serge make an awesome duo; it was just so interesting how they explain a way of living that allows people to be themselves, to live in harmlessness with each other. We have tried everything else and it hasn’t worked so why don’t we just give this way of living a go and see what happens. To be open with each other and not ridicule would be a great first step.
This is truth. What a most truthful interview. Shedding the light on what true religion is and where we are at globally, having found our many ways away from that. The description is so fine, yet very relatable and recognizable. Sharing what we actually all know, being served the tools to change globally. This should make world news, if we choose to be up for it. Thank you Serge Benhayon for not holding back and sharing all that is true. Even on such subject as Religion. Which in fact is all that we are.
I love what Serge said about we take on and get inspired by other people’s foods so why do we not take on or be inspired by other people’s positive behaviours? I have never heard anyone say this before yet it is so simple. What Serge shares about religion .. true religion that is what it is to me to .. community, relationships and how we live.
This truly gets under the skin of religion and what is going on. It is a powerful interview that talks of what it is to co-exist – to appreciate all choices and learn from each other.
Here is that word again ‘appreciation’ offered not for one but shared in equalness by all. How beautiful it is to read that this is the simplicity that is offered but the word religion. A far cry from the complexity we are sold in the current world media.
I consider myself a very open and accepting person. Despite of that I periodically get surprised by ingrained ideals and beliefs that show pockets of judgment and exclusivity that still need healing and letting go. I love the way Serge Benhayon constantly reflects how we could look deeper and be more loving, honouring and appreciating of one another.
After watching this episode and driving to work it felt truly harmonious in my body to accept everybody in how they choose to live. I was able to get on with it and know either way what will work for All will inevitably reveal itself. Thank you Serge and Rebecca for your amazingness!
I was surprised that Buddhists incited violence against Muslims but it goes to show that it is the humans not the religion that is the cause. Intolerance of the way others live is unnecessary if we can learn to live with each other and learn from each other. Not comparing, judging and killing but inspiring by the way we live.
Yes, Carmel, it is important to talk about and bring to the fore of our awareness the insanity that is violence in the name of religion and to accept that it is our choice to misinterpret and mutate true religion in this way. Then we have an open foundation on which to build a different approach that inspires collaboration and unity.
Live and let live. An important principle with which we can live life with humbleness and openness.
Yes humbleness over a judgement of another!
Humbleness is one of the greatest qualities I feel in people, it has an incredible power to it when we are open, humble with others and have a body live to one of an ever-increasing depth of love.
A living way that obliterates the indecency and separation currently around in the world today within religions and societies . Role models and the science of reflection is much needed so we can all coexist loving . A brilliant interview with amazing equality and love for us all.
Too me Serge Benhayon has exposed the falseness of mainstream Religion
“If there is violence there is no religion”
Then surely we have no religion in truth because most religions have gone to war against each other. So that leads me to question
“why then do we give our power away to these institutions by relying on them to tell us how to live our lives?”
I feel the people that run these institutions are more lost than the average person because they are hanging on to a dogma that is built on a false foundation and such a foundation will crumble and fall. Surely we are watching this happen before our very eyes.
‘There is no violence in religion’ says Serge Benhayon and we need to understand that in order to live in true brotherhood
It’s clear here that openness and reflection are imperative for our mutual understanding and loving coexistence. Serge has such a way of speaking about the most seemingly huge problems of the world and brings such simplicity to and understanding of how it can be another way.
Yes a problem that has riddled the world but has been offered so simply in an episode on the internet for the world to see!
‘If I religious group is violent in any way shape or form, they can’t truly call themselves a religious group…’ – Serge Benhayon once again brings a truth and simplicity to words that supports us to understand where we take things out of context. Religion used for good or bad is not religion at all if religion is in fact truly a relationship with what is divine
The clarity Serge Benhayon offers here, is invaluable because I have known many people who have been turned against religion because of injustices and atrocities they have witnessed carried out under the banner of religion.
So much has been presented in this discussion. On co-existence; many cities throughout the world are full of people from various cultures, backgrounds, belief systems, tastes, interests etc. We are very clearly being given the opportunity to learn about co-existence, where we learn from each other, no matter our background and allow ourselves to be inspired by each other. We have much to learn but many opportunities.
Such wise reflection that when we see a person or some people belonging to a group such e.g. living in a particular country behaves in a certain way it does not mean everyone in that country backs such behaviour. Similarly when members of a religion misinterpret the foundations of a religion and behave atrociously it does not mean everyone else in that group prescribe to the same view. In fact religion in its true meaning is all about the deepest level of love and oneness, so harming in another in any shape or form exposes that such acts are nothing whatsoever to do with religion
It is great to explore how violence has become synonymous with religion and it shows how the word Religion has been so abused, to cover a multitude of activities that are harming. The joy of The Way of The Livingness is its flexibility and the way we are inspired to live without imposing upon another, so militancy is never a part – as Serge Benhayon says in this interview it’s about love, about beauty, about harmony, about brotherhood, co-existing and being respectful of each other.
“In the second half of the interview Serge Benhayon explores a science that “gives us the ability to arrest once and for all a disease that effects all of humanity…”.” This is what we all want, how much money, time and resource goes in to attempting to cure illness and disease, and here is a man presenting the true solution. I have a feeling one day these videos will be looked back upon as being light years ahead of their time.
The feeling you share here Michael Brown is a truth that often is buried or masked by the myriad of beliefs that religion is separate rather than a union of one.
The Ageless Wisdom is light years ahead and at the same time, older than humankind – it is us who attempt to delay, deny, ignore and stall evolution. We put an enormous amount of effort and energy into resisting what we know to be true deep within and yearn for with all that we have.
Awesome interview, I used to have such and issue with the word ‘religion’, the hypocrisy of many who used it and said they owned it in a sense. I am so much more open to it now and I know that I can have a relationship with it that no one else can dictate or tell me is right or wrong, what feels true within in terms of living in harmony and ‘co-existence’ that is religious life.
I too used to have an issue with the word ‘religion’ and the hypocrisy that surrounded it. What if the word ‘religion’ had lost its true meaning?
Now, it makes perfect sense to me that religion is about love, harmony and brotherhood and never ever about violence.
I love the way this interview explores the Science of Reflection and how vital it is to our evolution. This discussion brings to the fore the understanding that to really learn from others we need to let go of comparison and self-criticism. Without these obstacles, we can either be inspired by another who we see as living in a way that is of great benefit to their health and true well-being or we can acknowledge l that we are not ready to make the changes that are required to live in that way. In both scenarios we walk away from the reflection that has been offered learning something more about ourselves and others.
Yes choosing to observe the reflection of another and what it truly brings rather than playing the endless game of hurt and lies that comes packed with jealousy and comparison.
Competition and drive for supremacy are traits that keep us divided and retard our evolution. So much wiser to be open, observe and as mentioned here learn and be inspired when someone else reflects something great that we too could be adopting.
We often champion the drive and competition but when we leave anyone behind we are far from living the truth of brotherhood that we all crave for from within.
I love what Serge Benhayon presents, that if there is a group of people perpetrating violence in the name of religion, it is not religious or of religion. There is no violence in religion. This discussion open the door to true conversations about what religion is and provide the opportunity to step of reaction of what ‘so called’ religion had brought over many thousands of years.
The Ageless Wisdom delivers on all counts, strips bare what is not true and exposes the rot; pride, so-called tradition and sheer and dogged longevity are no guarantee of truthfulness, service and love – quite on the contrary as is clearly evidenced.
A much deeper conversation on religion than one is used to hearing. Thank you all for producing this magnificent interview.
Indeed at last a true picture of religion and a real discussion that allows us to approach the subject without all the misconceptions and drama.
A space that allows the truth to be expressed and a model of what true TV watching can be like for the future.
Wow this a show stopper interview that really gets to the bottom of things. Religion is clearly something we have allowed to be reinterpreted and used as an excuse to abuse and harm but as this interview so clearly spells out we should not be allowed to be put off religion by this but actually claim back the true meaning of the word which if it was really understood I doubt many people would have an issue with it.
So true Andrew. Serge Benhayon restores to us the ability to reclaim the real meaning and activity of religion, to pull it back over the edge into the realm of an honest and dignified relationship with God, with our selves and with each other.
Another absolutely brilliant interview with Serge Benhayon, this time exposing even more layers of what we have come to believe is religion. It is true that we often judge a religion, or any organisation, by the militancy we see from members of it, but as Serge has shared, there are many others who are not living in this way in any shape or form. So, it follows that any anti-societal acts by some of its members have no place in religion but we tend to let ourselves be ‘grabbed by the wrongs’ and focus on that.
The Science of Reflection supersedes right and wrong, jealousy and comparison – it lives and lets live so that we can learn from each other until the only way IS the only way.
Yes and living it rather than branding is the difference we see in our our state of world affairs.
It is the way of our future Gabriele, well said. Refining our ability to observe life around us and each another without becoming emotionally or mentally embroiled is an essential step forward for humanity. In this way we can and will teach each other about true and all encompassing wisdom, truth and love, the only way to live.
The Science of Reflection, what a beautiful answer to a living way that supports all to be harmonious no matter which religion, gender, culture or nationality we are from. What if we were given the opportunity in school to learn how to be reflective without comparison or jealousy? Surely this would give the most assured foundation to live life from.
And in understanding the Science of Reflection, we can not but embrace responsibility.
I agree Rachel. To be taught this science at an early age would turn around so many of our problems that arise because we do not know how to respond to what is reflected back to us by other people. The more we learn about this science, the simpler it becomes to see our commonalities, foibles and merits without criticism and hence truly discover how to live and work together in harmony.
Such fundamental education about living life and learning through the constant reflection and teachings we receive on a daily basis, is in my opinion far more important and significant than anything else we currently school our children with. It is a foundation that will enrich the rest of our life.
Imagine how different the world would be if we fostered this relationship with religion in our children from their early years. To teach the importance of harmony rather than competition, to show our young ones what life would really be like if we worked together rather than against each other – it seems like a far away, distant dream but isn’t that our natural way?
Love it! What we can learn from each other through the science of reflection is Gold; instead of the separation through pride. Even playing field — equal players. We have answers to our religion and relationships One-unified – Let’s play in the field of God, we naturally wholeheartedly deserve it!
The separation through pride can harm us to the point of not wanting to feel that from the inside we are all the same yet we choose to make choices that keeps us individuals.
This is a a very beautiful, inspiring and self-reflection-provoking interview – bringing to the table our beliefs about religion, society, violence, stereotyping and much more – thank you.
The stereotypes have nowhere to go in this interview. The truth is offered and brings nothing short of this in each word.
Thank you, Serge it makes perfect sense to me that religion is about love, harmony and brotherhood and never ever about violence. Religion is about binding and bonding so could never be about violence on any level.
You are right Kathleen, it does make perfect sense. But then we must ask ourselves how we got to a point that is so far removed from sense it is akin to a needle in the eye to observe.
