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…
The science of Reflection would knock out all of the competitive behaviours we see in our workplaces. How enriching would it be to be open enough to each other and to learn from one another instead of fighting and putting others down?
Certain religions use uneducated and poor people to do their ‘dirty’ work for them so is this then where politics comes into religion and has high jacked religion for its own ends? This would explain to me how the truth of religion has been drowned out by competing political parties that want to control the people. For Example religious intolerance is being incited in India, it can be traced back to the Politian’s that are stirring the pot by whipping up religious hysteria with one religion against another. It is all a game and until we can understand that it is a game we get sucked into the maelstrom of it and cannot see or find a way out. Then we give up and accept the status quo, give in and nothing changes.
The strongest reflection and/or reaction often has the greatest lessons to learn I’ve found. Learning to open up rather than shut down to the other has and is really lovely. I have Serge Benhayon to thank for this.
The answer to the first question says it all if I may agree. Religion is the relationship with God, but also a relationship with a greater power and divinity. I have not heard that expressed in that way anywhere before. I know it to be true in my body being a fully committed student of Universal Medicine since 2005. I have experienced a greater feeling having a relationship with the stars where you do feel a greater power. It gives me such a boost expressing about because this relationship has provided this to me. And, its not just that you provided with something and that’s it. It does not stop because that is how the universe expands — we expand, the universe expands.
Interesting, whenever there is a ‘cultural day’ at work or school it is almost always based around cuisine and food. I wonder when would we make the day about genuinely connecting with people and being open with one another?
Your comment Michael reminds me of a saying that is often said to young brides: “The way to a man’s heart is through his belly!” Food is an international hobby, which is why it is so popular and rarely rocks the international relations boat, unlike other social issues such as politics, equality, economics or health.
We cannot allow ourselves to be put off by what we see today as what happened to me after attending Sunday school and chapel right through to my teens and early twenties to find myself rebelling against God later on in life. Institutionalised religion as I have found out is not it but that does not mean I am not religious. In fact I am religious because I have found with many, many thanks and appreciation to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that there is another way to be in the world and that way is The Way of The Livingness.
To have the understanding of what it means to live a religious way is crucial in my every day life. It is a way, a livingness in which I am learning to live by, content to be religious and live religion based on the true meaning of the word.
Caroline for so many people religion is either a burden, a must do or something we are turned against and yet to understand, as you share, what true religion is all about transforms everything about our lives.
I have often pondered about the reasons different cultures are living together in a city for example. What is it that we are needing to learn from this experience. We need to learn to co-exist. We also need to come to understanding that we are no different to the person sitting next to us. There may be, and usually is physical differences, but in essence we are not different. We all know this to the core of our being, which is also why we don’t want to know, because its then that we come to understand that our choices and movements are what are leading us down the garden path of not knowing.
I was in the Middle East recently and talking to the local Muslims of that region they explained to me that committing or inciting violence or terrorism towards another is not acceptable and certainly there is nothing in the Koran that they have read that states otherwise. They mentioned that if you act in a negative way towards someone that negativity comes back to you; it has a boomerang affect. So it is for us to be aware of how we act towards others at all times. While attending a presentation of Universal Medicine I have come to understand that the energy we constantly give out is either healing or harming, so it sounds quite similar to the views of the local Muslims.
Many religions get a bad name because of the poor behaviour of extremists which shows how any religion can be bastardised.
Its so important that the word religion is re-imprinted and returned to the truth of what it means, so that we understand that religion is always with us. It will take some time for this to occur.
The TV that I can keep coming back to and not feel guilty about!
Until Serge Benhayon I have never heard anyone present on what is true religion. I myself have had the experience of turning away from what I thought was religion because of the behaviour of a few. It never even crossed my mind to ask myself if what was being presented as religion, was actually religion. I know that now and know that we can all re-establish our connection to not only this word but that it means very deeply in all of us and it not being dependent on whether or not I go to church or not. Its been very freeing to understand what religion really means.
It’s almost like the violence that is used in the name of religion has been used so we don’t co-exist and learn to live together, so we then get to experience our living ways and truly learn from one another. One can see how understanding the truth of what religion means, can make a big difference here.
I love how the first part of the conversation unpacks that if something is violent then it is not religious and that there is no violence in religion and if there is its not religious. This is something we all need to hear, and be willing to unpack ourselves as what has been done in the name if religion as been used to hurt many over the eons. How have we let this go on for so long, to something that is here to bring us together as one?
A revelatory episode is a revelatory series – thank you to the entire team that produce this gold.
Although the situation with the widespread immigration due to war, famine, economic disparity etc. is at present a crisis, it is also a great influence for positive change and healing for humanity as eventually people will not be able to help but come to realise that we are all the same.
Co-existence will never be endorsed by the side that wants to exist forever no matter the consequences.
I completely agree that we need to come back to the original meaning of the word religion as presented in this interview and not allow other organisations or people within them to call themselves religious if they are not acting or behaving in a truly religious way. Maybe we need religion licences? 🙂 I reckon it would be very revealing how many organisations would actually be able to hold a ‘licence’ if we reclaimed the word religion and its original meaning back.
I love the science of reflection… All the little things during the day that present themselves with magic messages of wisdom and guidance.
I love this and there is so much in this episode, just like all of them. Particularly the part about being open to seeing others and what they are reflecting and to be open to the fact that there is potentially another way we could be living. How over time and yes when we look a the world and where it is we will need to be patient, for us to get to a place where we can see that a certain way actually isn’t serving us and that if there is another way presenting itself with abundance, vitality, joy and so on then lets go there together. United as one and living in true brotherhood. Sometimes I think that is never going to happen but when I feel that openness within myself and know that what needs to be exposed will eventually we will get there. Hence the responsibility of living our truth and reflecting it out for all to see. Game ON I say.
We have taken the initial meaning or religion and the power that comes with it and used it against humanity and in separation – the direct opposite of its original impress. It is so important we see this as a society, as it is the only way to come back from what we use it as today.
This makes total sense to let each other live with our own beliefs and religions and as Serge Benhayon presents, over time what ever is not working will be shown. We all have an equal right to explore and walk our own path. I know for me the ones I have explored and tried that over time I got to feel were not working is what got me to a place of living The Way of The Livingness and have something to compare it to. I have never in my whole life felt this amazing and deeply connected to God in all aspects of my life and this I deeply a treasure.
Hi Gill, I agree and that inclusivity around religion is the same as how I’ve seen Serge with everything. It’s this reflection that has inspired me to change how I am with the rest of the world.
I like the way that Serge Benhayon talks about militancy and religion. Because of the way that he very delicately does not condemn those who choose to be militant in the name of their religion, as Serge simply puts forward the possibility of a discussion on the true meaning of the word religion and asks if there is militancy in these origins. Which in my view, is an approach to this topic that gives everyone the space to decide for themselves what is and what is not religion.
A great observation Shami about how Serge Benhayon always presents. Never any judgment or condemnation, never preaching or even trying to get you to agree. Always an invitation to deepen our observation, understanding and awareness, and approaching life with a greater level of love and personal responsibility.
To see religion spoken about with such openness and lack of judgement/condemnation is rare these days, and a pleasure to watch.
Quality TV that offers everyone the opportunity to sit and ponder on what is truly going on when we take distractions away and start to feel what lies beneath.
What Serge says about pride and how we find it very challenging to look at and change our own behaviours in leu of a much more loving way is very true. We see multiculturalism, as an example of new ways of eating but do we see the deeper aspects of life that one particular culture has mastered and then say “I really love how you approach this, I’d love to learn more” Its simply asking ourselves to be more open to the possibility.
You can never ever abuse another if you are true to love, God or religion. There is no justification or clever maneuvering with words that can change that fact.
Love offers no agenda but the levels of deepening that humanity is far from reflecting in our current times.
If we are talking about true religion there is no violence or abuse within this religion. So to me all other religions that advocate violence or abuse towards each other is not true religion. Too me it’s that simple and shows me that sadly we have lost the true meaning of the word religion.
If society committed to living in a way of co-existence then we would all be open to the ways of particular groups that really work and learn from that. Rather than simply tolerating someone that is from a different background. Big difference between co-exstence and tolerance, something worthwhile exploring further.
Parenting our children and educating ourselves to understand that we are evolving through the Science of Reflection is important because instead of reacting to and attacking everyone around us, we can choose to be inspired, to see the reflection we are being offered and appreciate the learning.
Religion and science have been separated through the centuries and we have all suffered as a result of the dogma that has developed in both.
I was turned off religion at a very early age as what the many institutionalised religions were presenting simply didn’t make sense to me; so much seemed so very hypocritical. When Serge Benhayon began to speak about religion I wanted to run a mile but something in me said very gently – stay and listen. So, I did and I am so delighted that I did because this amazingly wise man began presenting what deep within me I had always know to be true but had become very confused about because it was at odds with what everyone else believed to be true. How times have changed, as for the first time in my life I can say I am religious and feel the truth of these words in every particle of my being.
Imagine you received the complete illustrated guide to life – a complete compendium of the truth about what’s going on – but rather than cherish and savour what you had in your hands, you complained about having a useless tatty, old book. This is how we are with life’s reflections. We rail against what they present yet in them, everything we need is said.
I have always loved religion, when I was younger I could see the people who had a real connection with God and something in them was devoted – not in a give your power away kind of way, but in a humble way that shows that there is something much grander than what we have playing out on this planet. I respected those people, although I may not have agreed with everything they did or how they were living their lives, nor did I know how to live my life & develop that connection with God. But today I appreciate their reflection & their commitment to not cave in the pressures of society which more and more proclaim that those who believe in God are stupid.
I love watching someone give an interview where they express freely without any awkwardness, not something you see often but certainly see it here.
I love what Serge presents about it being a crime to abuse what true religion is and committing a crime under the guise of religion. It has caused so much separation, but yes – in that is an opportunity to discern the truth of religion and what it truly means.
I am so glad someone has finally stood up and claimed the absolute truth of what life is about. It shows how deeply lost humanity truly is when we see how manipulated the meanings of words have become.
What is it about the way we are living that can allow even teachings that would have originally been about nothing less than oneness, equality, love and honouring of each other, be twisted and changed to justify harm and abuse one another? What Serge Benhayon presents is an invaluable invitation for us to reflect on how what we have been settling for is far removed from the magnificence of what is naturally available if we choose to return to and live according to our true nature.
Is it possible that we are looking for institutionalised religion to give us what we are searching for as we have lost our true connection to God and in the bereavements of this loss we have allowed others to control what we can or cannot believe of God?
I love the very clear definition of what a true religion is, as described by Serge Benhayon, and any religion that goes around condemning others as not worthy of God’s love or advocates for separation/violence of any kind can not be defined as a true religion. So, in the same way, I feel that there are many other words that need to be looked at as far as living in line with the truth of their definition. Perhaps its time to look at Science in this same light, and re-examine how we seem to think that it is about proving our theories right in a manipulative way without considering the whole of a system and with enough funding force it through the peer review process. But science needs to be approached in an innocent way, constantly being open to other possibilities and expanding (as the whole Universe does) into greater awareness of how the Universe works, rather than staying stuck and stubborn about holding on to an old way of looking at things.
When there is violence , how can there possibly be any religion. Thank you Serge and Rebecca for elucidating on this matter.
Violence and religion are mutually exclusive. You can not have violence and in fact any form of abuse under the banner of religion. A very clear truth that we have ignored again and again throughout the ages resulting in our own demise.
True Jenny and instead of peace (when no violence so to speak yet still abuse) we can have a true co-existence and depth of love between us all.
I love what Serge Benhayon shares about co-existence. Let everyone choose what religious way they wish to follow and truly live together, without trying to coerce anyone into our way of living/belief and then we can truly learn from one another. Co-existence puts tolerance on the table for us all to see how this does not support is in any way live together.
I love the respect offered here to all people, and that we collaborate together by observing and then exchanging and adopting what works from others. We work together to return us all to a way of living that is ultimately unifying.
Melinda same here, before Universal Medicine I was very intolerant to other people of other “groups” whereas today I really see how we are all the same.
I agree Gill. The difference between being open to what others reflect to us, either as insight into ourselves or as points of inspiration, rather than being closed and ending up comparing and competing with each other, is properly huge.
There is so much gold and wisdom in this interview which I find hugely supportive in understanding the way things are in the world today. One thing that stood out for me today was this mad notion we fall for that normal is defined by statistics… once a certain number of people do something it is considered normal and however wayward, abusive and/or out of whack it feels, we ignore our sense and accept it.
This interview inspires me to re-evaluate my own relationships with self and in every area of my life. I ask myself: Do I always walk with love and willing to co-exist with others or judge and keep myself apart? What do I bring when i walk into a room or communicate with others? Answers lie in the science of reflection and I am guided by them.
The wise counsel offered in this interview through Serge is immense. ” let our way of life be our living testimony;” “Don’t impose, judge or interfere with other people;” “Allow others to live their way” Serge invites us to not seek to find wrong in the ways of others, not attack, or criticise in anyway that undermines, as this assumes we know best or are right and wrongly elevates ourselves, We’re all equal, learning together through reflection, the gateway to more deeply understand our brothers and sisters.
What is being presented here makes so much sense – religion and violence does NOT belong together. Something to truly reflect on for each and every one of us.
Well said Eva. Love is a vibration that holds everyone equals, allows space for us to come to our own resolutions and understandings, treats everyone with respect. Any act of violence can never convey this quality and hence can never represent the Love of God and our relationship with him.
My favourite TV. What you can learn watching the episode again… I practised the power of observation recently and received what you could call and intelligence far beyond the usual mundane of expression and communication that is usually ‘just a normal conversation’. Its like I received the answers for not only me but for the person who was expressing. Imagine if society lived this depth of observation.
Surely if one represents “The Way”, there is no need to prove it – as it will prove itself by it’s untarnished lived quality.
It is true that we are not educated on reflection and the way in which we all reflect to each other. Not before Universal Medicine had I ever considered this, and yet it is so key in how we evolve. As Serge presented here – we all have an opportunity to learn from each other, even if it is a learning about ourselves that we are not willing to change.
I so love these conversations that remind us how much more there is to consider and open up to in life, and how exquisite it can be when we let ourselves go there.
There is so much that we think is religion, that is so far from what religion is. Given this so much harm and hurt has been caused in the name of religion to so many people, in so many place, over such a long period of time without us even knowing. Thank God that this discussion is taking place to raise our awareness on the truth about religion.
It has never made sense to me why when we look at another culture who may do things differently and have evidence of living successfully, we then do not adopt their living way even though it’s working – or at the very least study them and take into consideration what has and has not worked. It’s as if we stubbornly hold onto our systems even if they do not work, and often at the expense of the general population than admit that they are failing.
Yes, the arrogance of thinking we got it right and hence not willing to open up for a real change, runs deep.
I love the way Serge Benhayon constantly dismantles the many false interpretations we keep complicating and lessening life with, and keeps offering a renewed sense of simplicity, love and expansion which makes absolute sense and brings humanity back to oneness.
I agree Golnaz and ‘dismantle’ an apt word that conveys what is happening here. When Serge strips back false interpretations and lies, truth is revealed and made accessible to many.
It is devastating to see that we cannot be left to live our own way and experiment without experiencing forces and attacks coming our way.
With the science of reflection we are given or shown that there is the possibility of another way. This is beautiful because with this we are given the freedom to see and to observe and to make of what we have seen and observed what we will. There is no dictation or control. Just the union of people sharing experience.
Hearing Serge talk about religion breathes new life into the word.
I agree, Michael. A word that has been modified and abused so much, being brought back to its true meaning and honoured as such; it is very beautiful to hear the truth of religion.
Michael I so agree, it has transformed my understanding of the word to something that I can feel has always been part of not only my life but all lives.
Just when you think wowzers Serge you have done it again, delivered absolute truth so beautifully and clear, bam he brings in another one. There is literally no limit to the the wisdom Serge is sharing with us all. So inspiring how no matter what Serge chooses it. Who are we to connect with this and then not express and share this with others so to they can be inspired also. Ah the joy of responsibility of being all of that which we are.
I do love this conversation. It really opens up the discussion on what really is religion?
A conversation that opens us to feel what true religion can feel like and be lived with the integrity and responsibility we know humanity is needing now more than ever.
We are quick to jump on the cultural bits we like of a country before we are willing to see the whole picture. It nods to the set ways of living we are all comfortable with, when in fact religion has divided us hugely. And yet this is not true religion, as in truth it can unite us by way of reflection.
I love my religion 🙂 there’s nothing greater to me than knowing my Soul is here with me each and and every moment.
A great religion indeed. And with such joy and fullness, how could anyone not honour the same in every other person.
Thanks to Serge Benhayon I have come to understand true religion. I was brought up catholic and then come to a place within myself that it didn’t feel true, I looked into what other religions there were and none of them felt true yet I started to have judgement for this. Being able to break this and understand true religion I can see other choices that are not this simple are just that. Each having the free choice to believe what we want.
Oh yes, to moving beyond living crippled by comparison and jealousy. I am needing to be super honest with myself when these ugly reactions wheedle their way into my day and then super understanding and curious about why.
Gosh yes, Richard, I agree. Our pride and need to be ‘right’ is a huge barrier to learning. I am coming to understand more and more the beauty of humility.
Considering ourselves to be intelligent beings and then creating a whole set up where religion (which in truth is our connection to love) gives us permission to abuse, reject and/or kill our fellow human brothers, exposes our lack of true intelligence.
Using the name religion with any form of violence is not religion. We all know this to be true deep down inside yet Serge Benhayon leads the way in honouring and expressing this truth for all.
‘Let us let live together and the truth will come out in the end’. Yes lets, and I long for the day of the truth to be our normal way again. Yet again the wisdom that Serge Benhayon shares is gold.
Its a great statement by Serge Benhayon. There is a knowing that we can in fact live together and that we can not only enjoy one another but truly learn and grow as well.
We keep imagining that the gifts of Heaven to be like thunderbolts, burning bushes, or some unexplainable as-yet-super-human feat like parting waters, yet we are surrounded by them. Yet what an incredible gift we have in the reflection we have all around us in life, especially what offer one another, whether it is the face of our exquisite divine nature, or showing the result of a myriad of possible ways to mask it. Thank you Serge Benhayon for your constant reminder.
What a lesson this interview is in terms of how we view words and associate them with behaviours that are there to deliberately disturb the sacredness held within the etymology.
Our truth in this world is to return to the Love we all naturally are. When we express anything less, we are not being true to our selves. And so just as it is natural to soak up other people’s culinary traditions, so too is it natural to observe, learn and put into practice truly loving ethics, principles and practices, so that humanity ends up with a soup rich in compassionate wisdom and strong, wise, purposeful religion.
It’s pretty interesting that we are arrogant enough to think that the way we are living does not effect others on this planet and the Universe. How we play dumb to everything and how we are connected and have an immediate effect.
Yes, Religion is our interconnection and relationship with everything in life. It is everything that unites us rather that divides. The word itself has been hijacked and lost the truth of its origin. We know this and this is worth talking about, thank you to Serge Benhayon for starting the conversation.
Introducing the Science of Reflection and how this can bring us together rather than separate us when we alternatively go into comparison and jealousy… yes. Why is it we are selective with what we are choosing to borrow from different cultures when clearly we can grow as one when we are simply open to seeing what is true and bringing that to life. It is possible for us to live and co-exist in harmony and this is our natural way.
So much is covered in this insightful episode, bringing the truth back to the word Religion and what it means to live religiously as we co-exist on this planet. Thank you Serge Benhayon and Rebecca Asquith.
It’s so true what Serge shared about what’s done in the name of religion, and how we need to disconnect the actions done under the name of and the meaning of the word in its true sense.
When we apply this understanding to our current religious practices it knocks a great many out of the game. How can a Church for example maintain its position in society if many of its priests have abused children and no-one takes any action to address this criminal behaviour? True religion is about taking responsibility for our personal conduct to truly live a harmless life by expressing respect, love, decency and honesty in every aspect of our lives 24/7. It requires a level of integrity and responsibility within the individual that then brings a collective activity, a shared way of living in connection with God, a way currently enabled through the teachings of Serge Benhayon, a Master of Religion.
We so definitely have to learn to co-exist and bring harmony to this planet that we live on, and we have proved we can do this by eighty odd countries all putting aside their differences and investing time and knowledge in an international space station. I’m not saying that we have to explore space together but by setting aside our differences and adopting what works for all on this planet in the same way is a big step in the right direction.
Yes Richard and also all others instead of being seen as someone to protect against or compete with, can be appreciated as an absolute gift for the reflection they offer.
I say YES to living in a way that is open to all and choosing a way that is going to support this no matter what. The only thing I have come across during my journey of life that seemed to work was The Way of The Livingness as presented and lived by Serge Benhayon. Now I can say after many years of putting into practice the principle of this Religion, a relationship with myself, the Universe, God and all those how I meet along the way it has never felt so amazing and continues to deepen.
A message I always get from Serge Benhayon’s presentations is not only to live and let live, but to deepen my ability to live love and let the world be blessed by my every step. When I look deeply into the true messages within any religion, this is actually a basic tenet.
Astonishing how we have allowed such deeply inspiring messages get twisted into a justification to go to war and be abusive to one another. Time to claim the truth as Serge Benhayon is doing.
To be able to have these honest conversations and review and reflect on what currently represents religion and how it has stepped away from its key principles and the true meaning of the word then you can’t but question what are you aligning with if you say yes to any of them. Religion to me has always been my relationship with God and there is no need for a third party so to speak, let alone one that is abusing and attacking others, where it is all about brotherhood and love.
Under the guise of being a tolerant society and allowing freedom we have been turning a blind eye to a lot of things which are neither anything to do with freedom nor should they ever be tolerated. Abusive behaviour and lack of honouring of one another is one of them.
And how absurd that we have also twisted the meaning of religion to justify such behaviour. Great episode bringing it all back to the simple truth.
What I realise more and more is that even the thought of violence is a step too far away from our true nature, purpose and being. Serge Benhayon brings huge clarity to a very weary subject that has so far defeated any attempts to see beyond the pain and trauma we have created by not addressing this fundamental truth in our societies.
What I love about Serge Benhayon’s reflection is that it does not ask us to be theoretical, judgmental or righteous about any of this. The inspiration calls each of us individually to connect to a deeper level of love and humanity that is our actual true inner essence and let that be the guide so that we know with every cell if what we see before us is true or in contradiction of the truth that we know in our heart.
Serge Benhayon is saying in a very simple and straightforward way what we should all be saying. If there is any form of violence associated with any religion, then its not religion. Religion = love.
It is more than fascinating and in fact more highlighting the level of responsibility we really all do have when it comes to how much damage can come from the ill use of words. Thank God we have people today willing to bring back the truth of words by actually living what they truly mean.
I’m embracing the religious aspect of my life and I can honestly say it is the best part of my life ever. The fact that I can connect to the fact that there is more to life than the physicality we have constructed is one of the most beautiful processes I have ever embarked upon.
The picture of a vindictive God, who takes offence and punishes and who has favourites among his children and condones violence and atrocities between them is truly a scary one. How did we ever fall for it?
I am so pleased that Serge Benhayon’s practical and down to earth presentations offer a different understanding – one that my heart relates to and also makes perfect sense to my mind.
I really get this part about pride. I see it in myself and in the culture I live in, and how it can act as a barrier to living in unity and in truth with eachother.
A beautiful simplicity is brought to this – live from our living way – the truth of who we are and clock when it is not us. Go back to this as the core and foundation to in effect have an impact on lessening the extremities in the world. It starts with us – the critical mass who have a choice in each moment as to how we live.
I was ‘turned off’ religion from being brought up catholic and then as I started to look and see what other religions were offering none of them felt to be much different, yes they had different key factors but to me they all felt the same. I used to say that I was God, in the sense that he is within me and I am apart of Him. Just knowing this that was where I got to with it until I was introduced to The Way of The Livingness, a religion that is confirming what I had felt already but just didn’t really know how to connect to this relationship on a deeper level. Thanks to the teachings and principles of The Way of The Livingness I now have expanded and deepen this connection day after day.
What a gift these interviews are, clearing away so many of our preconceived ideas about peace and restoring to us the real resolutions to our war mongering ways.
We can never find our way out of the mess we have dug ourselves into without the clarity offered by love and truth – the foundation behind everything Serge Benhayon presents.
Debunking the lie that violence and religion go together or can even coexist is the most important message of this episode; Serge Benhayon offers a very practical philosophical approach to life that has nothing to do with looking for a black cat in a darkened room in the middle of the night and everything to do with offering common sense answers to everyday burning questions and issues.
Thank you Serge for making so simple what we as humans make so complicated and get embroiled in. The truth that anything that is associated with violence is in no way religion, true religion is one that is founded on love, harmony and brotherhood, and anything less than this is not true religion.
Love what you are saying here Monica – ‘allow our way to be shown in it’s gaps when they exist’ – allowing is the key word, to not fight or ignore the reflections on offer, but welcome them as a dear friend who is patiently with us while we are learning.
‘We need to learn to co-exist’ – How true, history is clearly showing us that anything else does not work.
Religion often freaks me out but after an amazing conversation with a dear friend have seen how deeply religious I am, and that to accept it just means to accept the magic i’ve experienced in my life.
Yet again another revolutionary episode, thank you Serge Benhayon for your sharing, dedication to the truth and all that you live to present such truths to remind us all that we are much much more than we give ourselves credit for.
I remember as a child not being able to make sense of the violence that has happened throughout our history under the name of religion and/or God. The God and religion I felt as a child had no violence in it whatsoever. This TV episode makes sense of how we have deviated from truth and come to accept this total contradiction of what God and religion are.
