Episode 5 - The State of Play Between Men and Women

When 1 woman a week is killed by a current or former partner in Australia and when men’s violence towards other men is even more prevalent again, what is truly going on for men?

Boys are born with a natural tenderness and fragility, so what is being fostered in our society that would render men capable of domestic violence many years later? And why do some women say they like ’tough guys?’

In this sensitive and considered interview, Serge Benhayon and Rebecca Asquith explore the state of play between men and women and the essence of what a true expression of gender could look like, beyond the manufactured male/female ideals we are conditioned by.

    The state of play is one that we should not be proud of, but one we can use to identify where our true strengths lie.

  • Christoph Schnelle December 1, 2018   Reply →

    A tough guy is predictable as it is a very limited image and the range of behaviour is small. This tradeoff between predictability and the threat of physical violence may be acceptable or even desirable for those who ‘like tough guys’.

    It’s sad to see how ruined something can be that is designed to be so complementary.

  • Jennifer Smith November 19, 2018   Reply →

    The point that Serge Benhayon was saying about that it is impossible for men and women to have certain behaviours, such as the level of violence we see today, but yet these behaviours not only exist but seem to be very common place. This is a moment to stop and ponder on. For here there is a very big inconsistency. Is it what Serge is saying or is it in what we are choosing in how we are living? If there is something not right about how we are living and we are viewing new levels of violence that we have not seen in society before…what is going on if what he says is true in that these levels of violence are not part of our natural way. They do not in any way belong to us.

      Three years on from your comment Jennifer Smith, my understanding is that our bodies are receivers of energy that there are only two energies to choose, the soul or the astral plane. The majority of us have rejected the energy of our soul and have aligned to the energy of the Astral Plane. so it comes down to an alignment of livingness. Serge Benhayon has been presenting The Way of The Livingness these last 20 or so years, the living Way of the soul, rather than the current alignment to the astral plane which entraps humanity in indulgence which keeps us all in involution whereas The Way of The Livingness supports us all to evolve back to the universe.

    When you see how much potential there is for both genders to prosper it is quite sad to get the reality check of where we are actually at.

  • Michael Brown November 14, 2018   Reply →

    I love not having the macho complex… so much more relaxing and assuring to be in life

  • Samantha Davidson November 6, 2018   Reply →

    Being fragile, I used to think no way how I can I do that…I used to think it is a weakness. I am willing now to know that it is no weakness to be fragile, but a strength and powerful because to feel can only be a strength. To deny what we feel to try not be sensitive, limits our understanding of the world and life.

  • Lieke Campbell November 4, 2018   Reply →

    It is very true what Serge says about women looking for a tough(er) guy. It is very uncomfortable as a woman to feel how hard we have become, at least that is my experience, so I can understand most do their best to avoid feeling that.

    • Mary March 22, 2021   Reply →

      In some cases we could say that women are out doing the men in toughness, if this is the case where does it leave the man? Is it possible that the suicide rates are so high among men because they no longer know who they are or what they are supposed to be as the women are crowding them out by playing a game of oneupmanship.

  • Joseph Barker November 3, 2018   Reply →

    Is it enough to say ‘I don’t hit my wife’ or ‘we don’t often fight’? Serge Benhayon offers us the possibility that there’s an incredible fathomless depth of Love on offer between us all, instead of barricades and walls.

    • Michael Brown November 29, 2018   Reply →

      Ever offering the next step this Man is.

  • Hm November 3, 2018   Reply →

    I agree – how Serge Benhayon is with everyone is a role model of relationships and the depth we can go to with ourselves and each other.

  • Melinda Knights November 1, 2018   Reply →

    I always appreciate the deep care Serge brings with his understanding of the true essence of men and women, and it makes so much sense too. Little boys and girls definitely have very beautiful natural qualities and over time it seems as we grow and develop we pick up a lot of gender ideals and messages about how to be and can change ourselves. It’s a vital topic as rates of suicide for both men and women are high, as well as there being many other issues with our health and wellbeing (and relationships) which could possibly be traced back to living separated to our natural essence and the accompanying lifestyle choices we make and stresses we experience.

    • Mary September 12, 2021   Reply →

      Melinda if we were to consider the possibility of re-incarnation, is it possible that we come in with the energy of our past life/s, that we have to nullify these before we can move on? This might go some way to understanding our lifestyle choices may not be just from this past life but lives where we have set up a pattern that will repeat until we get to the core of the issue and can heal that part, so that it no longer carries over with unseen energy into our next life. This is the wheel of rebirth until such time that we have harmonised our past lives and can detach from the wheel of rebirth. This is my understanding of evolution.

  • Michael Brown November 1, 2018   Reply →

    When we see that we are constantly 24/7 every moment in relationship, we understand that every movement counts towards something greater and grander than ourselves.

  • Shami November 1, 2018   Reply →

    “Where did we go wrong, that we ended up with a reality that is not the reality of our beingness?” This is an amazing question. A full stop question. The type of question that has every other question ever asked wrapped up inside of it. I love this question for all that it brings.

  • Michael Brown October 25, 2018   Reply →

    It genuinely pains me to the how we treat one another on this earth.

    • Christoph Schnelle December 1, 2018   Reply →

      And remarkably, much of the time when we try to improve how we treat each other, those improvements don’t hold.

  • Janet October 24, 2018   Reply →

    It is super important to consider what Serge Benhayon is saying here, with regards to taking 100 steps back and asking ourselves how a fragile and tender young boy becomes a violent brute? This is a question for all of us, and only as a collective can we change this through the way we parent and educate from young.

    • Golnaz Shariatzadeh October 31, 2018   Reply →

      This is indeed a significant question to ask. It also brings a greater awareness to the fact that the qualities and sensitivity of this fragile and tender young boy is still there within every single man, yet by this time not honoured and not put into practice for so long that even when the space if offered for it, it may take a while for it to start showing itself as lived expression. Brings huge responsibility to how we respond and relate to one another even when what we see is not the most gracious and endearing version.

  • Janet October 24, 2018   Reply →

    ‘Why do we have a society not based on the truth of the human being..?’ Serge and Rebecca ‘go there’ with this conversation, discussing gender conditioning 100 steps back when as a toddler both males and females are not supported to be fragile and delicate.

    • Mary September 12, 2021   Reply →

      Yes, what is it about our fragility, delicateness and sensitivity that we constantly have to crush it, so that very few dare to live this quality for fear of reprisal? Have we given up because the vast majority of humanity doesn’t want to be exposed to what they miss most about themselves?

  • Janet October 22, 2018   Reply →

    True, Ariana. Are we prepared to accept we have veered off and lost track of who we are by nature, and willing to take the steps to humbly re-connect and begin to build true foundations?

  • Janet October 22, 2018   Reply →

    Yes I agree, Fiona. We are so keen to cast judgement and blame on the presenting circumstances in front of us, but it is so very wise to trace back at hundred steps to the initial separation from the truth of who we are. Bad situations do no come out of nowhere…

  • Jennifer Smith October 21, 2018   Reply →

    “How did we end up with a reality that is not the reality of our beingness?” A wonderful comment by Serge Benhayon to close this episode. Something to take away observe and ponder.

  • Michael Brown October 18, 2018   Reply →

    You could say we are taught how to be a man and how to be a woman, but we aren’t taught how to be what we naturally are way beyond the titles of gender.

  • Michael Brown October 15, 2018   Reply →

    Being in a place where I don’t look at men or women differently is quite stunning.

  • Hm October 14, 2018   Reply →

    I have a baby boy. Everyone wonders how you get from a sweet little baby to a man who can abuse. But my what I see is my responsibility as a woman and a mother to support him to know what love is alll the time. Yes he is super cute – but I can already see in him how he can be demanding and out to get his way. He would feed all the time if I let him – but if I let him without feeling when my body is ready to provide milk – then his first experience with a woman is someone who says yes all the time and not a woman who is honouring her body.

    • Jennifer Smith November 19, 2018   Reply →

      I love what you are sharing here Hm. It makes so much sense. I have chosen to to parent in life, but I can’t recall hearing any parent speaking this way of their relationship with their child. Its quite refreshing to here a mother talking about honouring her own body and the consequences this will have.

    • Mary March 22, 2021   Reply →

      Hm is this the 100 steps back that we all need to take when it comes to parenting a child to be so aware of what could be said to be such a trifling matter, but actually can have potential consequences when the child grows up? Such an open sharing we need to closely observe how we interact with our children and them with us.

  • Michael Brown October 10, 2018   Reply →

    The headline fact is about violence between men and women, not boys and girls. So where does the former begin and the latter end? At what point do we grow into the reality that this violence is okay?

  • Joseph Barker October 7, 2018   Reply →

    If we don’t heal the hurts we carry inside the slightest misunderstanding can easily become a fight or worse settle into ongoing arrangements where we try to appease. Serge Benhayon is an amazing example to me that these hurts can be healed and upset undone.

  • andrewmooney26 September 27, 2018   Reply →

    Yes I agree Gill this is a great tool or technique that we can use in every day life for it brings us back to the awareness that everything is energy first before it happens in the physical world, which allows us to read what is going on behind the scenes so to speak rather than just falling for what our 5 senses can detect.

  • andrewmooney26 September 27, 2018   Reply →

    A great point is made in this blog that if women seek equality at all costs without checking the quality of what they are seeking to be equal to then it will not work in the long term. I am all for equality between every human being but it must be based on a quality of love, decency, tenderness and respect, rather than the competitive, combative, ‘dog eat dog’ kind of world we currently have.

  • Michael Brown September 25, 2018   Reply →

    It is an indictment of our set-up society that we can go for so long with gender violence etc, and never saying STOP. Simply just trying to ‘improve’ the situation along the way… The time will come when all the improvements will be seen for the masks of brutality that they are.

  • Christoph Schnelle September 23, 2018   Reply →

    If the interaction is without love – and love does not mean attraction here – then the interaction will always leave both parties feel less than satisfied.

  • Michael Brown September 15, 2018   Reply →

    And it seems that once we get over the obvious differences, there will be many subtle ones too.

  • Carmel September 13, 2018   Reply →

    Serge Benhayon explains that women won ‘equality’ in the West in the quality of male energy, not in the essence of a woman and that women’s bodies are now showing the signs of that fight. Certainly I entered my career in a hard way and it was only in my 60s that I began to appreciate myself as a woman and appreciated the preciousness and tenderness that is my natural way.

  • Melinda Knights September 10, 2018   Reply →

    What could be more important than to talk about the truth of human beings and their true essence? This is the foundation of human life, to live the fullness of who we are. What we currently have is not working because it doesn’t foster our being, I know because I’ve lived in separation to myself and life becomes a miserable existence, even with some of the right boxes ticked like mortgage, partner, etc. Having made my return to my essence and learning to live from that again I can wholeheartedly say that what Serge talks about is the real deal.

  • Jennifer Smith September 10, 2018   Reply →

    There is a depth that this conversation goes to that is rarely if at all gone to in discussions about men and women. How many discussions take the 100 steps back to really look at where a protective behaviour may have begun, both for men and for women? I also love that there is no blame of either men nor women for where we now find ourselves. Just a commentary on how far away we now find ourselves from our true essence.

    • Janet October 11, 2018   Reply →

      Yes, Jennifer, I love how Serge takes us 100 steps back so that we return to the personal responsibility we all have to live in the fullness of our essence, as this is who we are before any delineation of gender.

  • Michael Brown September 10, 2018   Reply →

    Men and Women have a whole lotta lovin’ to do, and we start that in the here and now with each and every step we take.

  • Janet September 9, 2018   Reply →

    If you want to watch an inspiring ‘big picture’ conversation about gender equality and our true nature as a man or a woman, look no further.

    • Nattalija October 20, 2018   Reply →

      Busts all the images and ideas that we have carried separating men and women into polar opposites.

  • matilda September 7, 2018   Reply →

    Boys are naturally tender and super gentle; girls are naturally nurturing and still. There is so much richness in relationships (which are one of the true purposes of life) when we simply accept and honour these natural qualities in ourselves, our children and those around us.

  • Natalie Hawthorne September 7, 2018   Reply →

    Serge Benhayon presents yet another show stopper of truth and we have the opportunity to reclaim and reconnect to the absolute depths of who we are as men and women by connecting to our super delicate and tender innate being, both equally so. A stark opposite to what we have been told we need to be, don’t you find that interesting, I sure do.

  • Rowena Stewart September 7, 2018   Reply →

    I love how this episode cuts any potential to blame each other but brings us back to true compassion first and foremost, the ability to observe, understand and appreciate our true qualities first, so they become the fundamental rules of engagement between men and women.

  • Michael Brown September 5, 2018   Reply →

    The reaction to the men and women divide is just as damaging as the instigations that occur in regard to the furthering separation of the two.

  • Karin Barea September 3, 2018   Reply →

    Watching this is amazing, a wise understanding of how we have got to a reality where both sexes are not honouring their sensitivity and beautiful fragility. Taking the 100 steps back to who we truly are makes total sense – otherwise we’ll remain lost in what we are told we should be rather than knowing who we are and expressing from this place that honours ourselves and each other equally.

  • Lorraine Wellman September 1, 2018   Reply →

    Serge Benhayon TV episodes have the answers for many of us and the questions we have about life, how the world is in such a mess.

    • Mary March 22, 2021   Reply →

      Serge Benhayon TV episodes are the only TV worth watching, because it is a forum where truth is expressed and no holds barred. All those questions we have about life being the way it is, is explained in a way that makes total sense.

  • Golnaz Shariatzadeh August 24, 2018   Reply →

    Every day I witness so many men who seem stiff as a board across their shoulders and chest, as if they are holding on to that hardness at any cost. Yet whenever I walk behind a young boy, the delicateness and tenderness is so gorgeous. I personally know how different my body feels when I adopt hardness as a protection to when I instead allow myself to move and express in my tenderness. What a travesty that this hardness becomes the ‘normal’ expression of so many men in our society. We definitely need to address the imprisoning stereotypes we impose on one another..

  • Michael Brown August 23, 2018   Reply →

    It can make me quite sad when I see very obviously extremely sweet men buying into the whole hard-nut image.

    • Golnaz Shariatzadeh September 1, 2018   Reply →

      So many of us buy into the image that we have put on to protect ourself to such an extent that we start to believe that is our true nature. For many women too it can be to hold back and act insignificant, or the other end, to be as tough or even tougher than the hard-nut acting man. Wonderful to be reminded as with every conversation on this website that all of this is just what we have chosen and our true essence is far more glorious, sensitive and powerful than that.

  • Rik Connors August 22, 2018   Reply →

    Its true about being one finger down. I cut the top of my pinky tonight cooking dinner. I’m not sure how I did it but it effected from then on how I cooked. I was trying to stop the bleeding while completing the cooking so I could eat. I felt misplaced knowing I had to now accomodate for my finger — it slowed down and brought me back to me.

    • Jennifer Smith September 10, 2018   Reply →

      We are constantly being reminded of how delicate we are in every moment and that we can move in a way that nurtures this and allows this quality to come to the fore.

  • Caroline Francis August 20, 2018   Reply →

    To have understanding and awareness for another because of the choices we are making is gold. Appreciation is key for in the appreciation and love for ourselves we create a safe environment for another to be and express where they are at and what is going on for them.

  • Simon Williams August 20, 2018   Reply →

    Watched this last night with my girlfriend and boy oh boy you can learn so much in 25 minutes. There is so much going on in the games we have played and the definition of those gender roles… how far they have taken us from our innate tenderness. And love the reminder that its simply a question for all of us to express the qualities we were born with in full, in our own way. That is what makes up the multifaceted diamond that is our potential when we come together.

  • Lorraine Wellman August 19, 2018   Reply →

    We are all born very delicate and connected, so what happens along the way, why do we lose the grace we are born with, and why do we allow this in those around us?

  • Sandra Vicary August 15, 2018   Reply →

    Serge Benhayon delivers once again in such a refreshing and simple way that makes sense of another area of our lives that we have made so complex. These interviews are worth their weight in gold in terms of our understanding about how and why men and women relate to each other in the way they do, and in my experience, are the only interviews on any TV channel in the world that are worth watching.

  • Rowena Stewart August 15, 2018   Reply →

    You can’t get better reality TV than this. Bill and Serge put all the real facts on the table that we, humanity, should be dealing with and then go on to propose true resolutions that when fully understood and applied to life, can turn these scary health figures on their heads.

  • Danna Elmalah August 14, 2018   Reply →

    It is so good to listen to truth when spoken from a body that lives it, and so you can feel in every word the truth shared by Serge Benhayon. We can either dislike or like it – the truth remains anyway. We are offered here an end to all our endless solutions that had not worked.. We are here to re-turn to what is truly equality and how we can work our ways back to living from our true essential beingness again. Thank you Serge and Rebecca for your wise words and true questioning. Exposing what has not worked and what only truly works.

  • Shami August 13, 2018   Reply →

    This interview raises the fact that we have behaviours happening across the world that are actually impossible, and yet our reality is that these behaviours exist. And, I would say, that this is cause for a great study on human-kind. A global observation of how and why we are living so far from what is wholly natural, which is to be with eachother in total and complete un-harming ways.

    • Simon Williams August 20, 2018   Reply →

      Is anyone else willing to look back 100 steps? Serge is, but I don’t think the rest of society is and that is very much because we are so totally wrapped up in what is normal and accepted (and so anything a little better than normal is met as a sign of victory), and can’t see how far we are from what is natural.

  • Rik Connors August 12, 2018   Reply →

    This is interview is brilliant — well worth the listen in understanding who we are as a man, and woman. Just the fact of understanding we are fragile and how powerful this is, is enough to change your life.

  • jennym August 9, 2018   Reply →

    Stepping back to consider the origins of our true nature and where we rejected or separated from that offers true healing rather a solution to our everyday issues of violence and abuse.

  • Rebecca August 8, 2018   Reply →

    It is interesting that in popular culture we often see men portrayed as tough, dominant, often rich and good looking, showing the women as either submissive to that dominance or trying to out tough the men. Either way, the picture of both the man and the woman is so far away from truth that we rarely get to see the potential for what a man and a woman can be together

  • Rebecca August 6, 2018   Reply →

    I love how Serge takes it all the way back – not blaming a man, not making men the issue but simply the environment we bring them up in that crushes their innate sense of tenderness, and domestic violence is the horrific consequence of removing that quality from a mans expression

  • Michael Brown July 23, 2018   Reply →

    Why play the gender game when we all innately love each other in the first place? This video is a great deconstructor if that game.

    • Rowena Stewart September 4, 2018   Reply →

      Agreed Michael Brown. Serge Benhayon not only breaks down our beliefs about how we should be as a woman and man, but totally deconstructs all the false barriers we have erected between one another. At the core level we are all the same, delicate, divine and so gorgeous. Why waste time hiding that from each other?

  • Melinda Knights July 20, 2018   Reply →

    I find what Serge presents here so supportive, when I was growing up I found the role models for what a woman was around me something that deterred me from wanting to be a woman, it wasn’t the essence of the women around me, more the socialised roles that had been pigeon holed into. I have been studying Serge’s work now since 2012 and it’s definitely supported me to reconnect to the essence of the woman inside me, and to discard the ideals and beliefs that literally were like constricting cages around who I naturally am. I love the bit where Serge talks about the “spunkness” that comes out when we are able to simply be ourselves, I definitely now feel that in myself. Thank you Serge and Rebecca.

    Men and women are seen to have very little between them when babies and toddlers, yet as adults appear to be worlds apart and at odds in most cases. Looks more like learnt behaviour than genetics or DNA….

    • Simon Williams August 20, 2018   Reply →

      Agreed Michael – the one extra chromosome does not account for the worlds apart that we find ourselves in as emerge into adulthood (or earlier).

  • Shami July 12, 2018   Reply →

    I like how Serge Benhayon talks about sharing in commonality of words. And of how it is these words that can foster people to be whole and true to themselves, regardless of their gender, making truth to oneself the most important factor in life.

    1 women every 50 years killed by a partner or ex-partner is 1 too many let alone 1 a week. This needs addressing by us All.

  • Michael Brown July 3, 2018   Reply →

    If we look at the innate qualities of both genders rather than the learned behaviours, we see that the current state of play is ALL learnt.

  • Golnaz Shariatzadeh June 25, 2018   Reply →

    The way both men and women are living and their relationship with one another is not great. You do not need a PhD to see that. Also the ways we have adopted to make it better or fight it have brought results that have at times looked good on the surface but in truth have all back fired and left us in further misery. What is presented here is brilliant. What if we did not go for trying to improve what is already not working or even fighting it? What if we deepened our awareness and understanding of how the situation is ingrained in the first place and how we have unconsciously been promoting and ingraining it?

  • Carmel Reid June 17, 2018   Reply →

    Serge comments that parenting is bringing the being ness into the world and that our education does not support that – how did we manage to get so lost to the true purpose of our being here?

  • Carmel Reid June 12, 2018   Reply →

    I like that Serge suggests we don’t say ‘she’s beautiful because she’s a woman’ We need to fully appreciate the beauty, the tenderness and the ‘spunkiness’ that is naturally in both men and women.

  • Samantha Davidson June 10, 2018   Reply →

    I agree the women movement generally are fighting and not stepping up with responsibility, blaming men is so detrimental to our relationships. We are in this together, fighting one another is the exact opposite of what we are here to do.

    • Ingrid Ward August 13, 2018   Reply →

      I agree Samantha that a lot of emphasis amongst the so-called women’s movement is about fighting for equality. For me the word fighting sets up the scene for just that, a bitter battle, instead of approaching the healing of the inequality in a very loving and honouring way, respecting men for who they are and how we can bring the harmony to our relationships that we truly need.

  • Michael Brown June 7, 2018   Reply →

    As a gentle young man I became so frustrated and resentful of myself as girls around me went for the rough and abusive guys. So much so that I adopted a facade of what I though girls would like to see in me.

  • Hm June 4, 2018   Reply →

    We already have access to the wisdom on offer to co exist as women and men together. It is a case of choosing a different way to how we have been living.

    • Samantha Davidson June 10, 2018   Reply →

      I agree and I am learning to live this and it is truly simple, stop the blame game as a woman and you truly empower yourself, it is astounding to feel the changes in my relationships through choosing self responsibility as a woman.

      • Nattalija June 16, 2018   Reply →

        There are so many levels of ideals and beliefs that are often sold to us in order to not feel the responsibility that lies beneath.

  • David May 28, 2018   Reply →

    Gill I agree, the fact is no matter how we put it the current way we have things in society is far from loving and caring and yet it will only take a few changes each individually to transform how we are with ourselves and our kids and each other. Then we will start to have true equality.

  • Joshua Campbell May 28, 2018   Reply →

    Every time I watch this I am blown away by Serge’s humble playfully wise expression that has so much understanding and so much love and beholding in it that it just melts and inspires every time I hear it.

  • Ingrid Ward May 24, 2018   Reply →

    I have found Serge Benhayon’s very wise presentation of taking 100 steps back when confronted with an issue or a problem, to be so very helpful. So often when confronted by a situation that has stirred us up in some way we simply can’t see the truth that is being presented, or maybe we can and we choose not to. But by stopping, stepping back and making the choice to look behind what is unfolding – even if it takes 100 steps – we are sure to be offered the clarity as to why this particular situation arose in the first place.

  • Michael Brown May 20, 2018   Reply →

    It’s quite unbearable to think that the tender boy you see in the nursery playground or looking after his baby sister could potentially be brought up to one day take part in domestic violence or anything that harms another.

  • Shami May 16, 2018   Reply →

    I agree with Serge Benhayon when he says that it is not our truth to have women’s cage fighting.

    • Christoph Schnelle September 23, 2018   Reply →

      And even men’s cage fighting is not our truth. Far from it.

  • Melinda Knights May 16, 2018   Reply →

    It is so true what Serge says about the systems of society not fostering and nurturing the inner being. When I finished tertiary education I was not only unaware of myself, of my true inner being and how to bring that to life, I was a mess of anxiety and exhaustion from years of placing exam and school results ahead of my wellbeing. We may be producing empty people, people who may be very able to function in their occupation but may be unable to cope with life or have a strong sense of who they are.

    When you look and see the epidemic of porn that is running rife through humanity we can’t ignore the issues at play. We are deeply disconnected to who we truly are and what each of our genders offer each other. It is so refreshing and inspiring to hear Serge express the truth and what the true core issues are. Thank you Serge.

    Its great what Serge shares about the definition of words and our response to them. So often so react to the misinterpreted version of a word and think that is the truth of the word when in fact it is far far from it.

      Joshua I know this one so well, it’s taken me a long time to start to dissolve the very nothing of what certain words mean, I’ve had so many back to front. From Love, Understanding, Abuse to hundreds more.

    Women can bring a balance back into the world – by them being in the truth of who we are and the delicateness they naturally hold. What Serge Benhayon presents here is what is happening to the world as we harden and condition ourselves to roles. But he also presents the possibility that simply listening to the body can bring us back to being who we are.

    Having a greater understanding of what fragility is, is like learning a whole new life science because I can see how this would permeate through every aspect of one’s life.

  • Natalie Hawthorne April 22, 2018   Reply →

    We are so lost as two genders and have lost who we truly are. The amount of disrespect and abuse that plays out is crazy. Time to put a hault on what is not truly delicate and tender and show that it is and it is divine.

      If we all start life as tender and delicate babies, what happens to those qualities along the way we call life?

  • Natalie Hawthorne April 20, 2018   Reply →

    What I am noticing is that men and woman are so confused as to how they want to be with each other, we have stepped away from our natural true selves and in doing so we don’t really know what we truly want or what the other person wants. We keep doing what we think we need to do for each other, however at the end of the day we stand here saying we are lost and lonely, even if we are in a relationship. Great to hear the truths Serge is sharing in this episode, priceless.

    How diid we end up with a reality that is not the reality of our beingness….? Let’s take that 100 steps back and consider carefully this question.

  • Shami April 10, 2018   Reply →

    I love the way it has been presented here, that we can glorify the qualities of a person and make them feel adored and cherished. And how this brings about a true expression of the man or the woman – not being gender defined or imprisoned, just appreciated for their unique awesomeness.

  • Viktoria April 5, 2018   Reply →

    There is such a drama between men and women, we women point the finger at men and blame them for our mishaps, men blame women for theirs. We’ve disconnected from our natural relationships between genders so much so that we live in a world where a non-sexual relationship between a man and a woman is considered impossible.

  • Rowena Stewart April 4, 2018   Reply →

    When we bring tenderness to bear in all our interactions it can only deepen our love for one another. The big step is in letting our guard down, a step that starts inwardly first, learning how to trust our own tender natures once more and nurturing them in all ways. It is a very important activity that when truly embodied brings immense and very evolutionary changes to all relationships.

  • Matilda Bathurst April 2, 2018   Reply →

    It is poignant to consider the tenderness of a baby and consider what occurs in life for anyone, let alone many, grow up to be abusive and violent. An intelligent race?

  • Matilda Bathurst April 2, 2018   Reply →

    Exploring the state of play between men and women through the teachings of Universal Medicine brings a whole fresh perspective to how we can be together; harmony and respect of our qualities that sets aside competition and comparison.

  • Shami March 31, 2018   Reply →

    Serge Benhayon makes the point very clearly here that we are all delicate and sensitive beings, and so aggression is not our truth. And I can understand how this may not feel like the truth for many, but Serge does not hold back from presenting it anyway, even if it is just for us to consider.

  • HM March 26, 2018   Reply →

    ‘The fact that a woman seeks a tough man means that she is not willing to be fragile and tender within herself’ – as a woman I can attest to this. I was pretty driven in the past, very hard and tough and so what I thought was a compliment to me was a tough man. Give me a sensitive, caring, tender man, and he would show me all the places I was not this. And that is exactly who I married. A man who is so tender and loving and asks me to keep going deeper and surrendering to who I am as a woman.

    Serge Benhayon always brings such depth to the understanding of humanity and what plays out in life. He never gets stuck on the violent outplays that most of us are shocked by and can’t believe it has happened. Taking 100 steps back so we understand the root of this cause of violence and how men are denatured to even be capable of violence is what is needed, rather than the Band-Aids we usually apply.

    • Melinda Knights May 16, 2018   Reply →

      It would be so easy to judge people for violence, but the 100 steps back takes us to the essence of the person (the baby or child) and shows we are not this naturally.

  • Christoph Schnelle March 24, 2018   Reply →

    The good news is that the tenderness is already there. It does not have to be built from scratch, just re-connected to.

  • Christoph Schnelle March 24, 2018   Reply →

    I heard this statistic – one woman a week killed in a domestic dispute – in the 1980s and it still seems to be the case. Why are we unable to change this?

  • Samantha Davidson March 23, 2018   Reply →

    You do not need to be a mother, but I am, and observing how society often pressurise gender roles from such a young age is astonishing, you can really see how boys and girls feel this and either join in our react against it. We all have our own expression in who we are and also in our gender, but the point is, no pressure is required, allow it to be without opinion or judgement, no need to be enforcing ideas of what makes a man or women.

  • Alison Pearson March 22, 2018   Reply →

    There is such a depth of wisdom being shared in these incredible interviews. I can listen to the same interview over and over and each time there is another layer that deepens and expands my understanding even further. Such an amazing gift to us all.

  • Alison Pearson March 20, 2018   Reply →

    The more we hold each other in the truth of who we are, we allow the space for each of us to be who we are without the imposition of false ideals and beliefs that we’ve been living with for far too long.

  • Sandra Vicary March 18, 2018   Reply →

    Yes Sally, I totally agree. Why, in truth, would we want our boys to be anything other than the delicate, tender, caring beings that they are? After all, as far as I am aware, thats what most women I know ultimatley want a man to be. It is time we nurtured our young boys to shine out these gorgeous qualities that they all have, instead of knocking them into a shape that doesn’t actually fit them.

  • Melinda Knights March 17, 2018   Reply →

    If we look at the world and the extremes such as violence, abuse and war we cannot understand it, however looking at it from the perspective of 100 steps back it makes sense. Babies are so pristine, so innocent and pure, that’s the essence we each are until we begin stepping away to end up 100 steps down the track treating ourselves and one another in abusive ways. If the systems we have currently contribute to this then it’s feasible that one day they will be recognised as inhumane.

  • Matilda Bathurst March 15, 2018   Reply →

    It is amazing the lies we weave simply not to feel the reality of our current condition and the choices we have made to get us to this point.

  • Matilda Bathurst March 15, 2018   Reply →

    When we reject the natural qualities of men and women from the get go, as we do with all our stereotyping and methods of upbringing, we encourage the suppression of these innate gifts and leave us all bereft of the connection and harmony with which we can live and learn together. This is the madness of the current human condition. These tv episodes are absolute gold in bringing big, inspiring, philosophical discussions into our lives and homes.

  • Samantha Davidson March 15, 2018   Reply →

    I Love men, I truly enjoy being with them and we can go all strange about what I am saying right now, but I mean it in an appreciation way. Why do men and women need to be head to head – that is how I used to be…so in fact I know the answer, I was hurt so I protected myself and blamed men. I have been healing my hurts, less blame – walk in Serge Benhayon he inspires true healing and change in relationships.

  • Shami March 14, 2018   Reply →

    This is utterly gorgeous: to look to our women and see if they are flourishing and if not, to tend to them so that they may.
