Episode 7 - The Science of Responsibility

What is responsibility? Why, for the most part, do we avoid it at all costs? Is ‘responsibility’ obliging to the tedious practicalities of life under the guise of doing the ‘right’ thing? Or could it be more?

In this episode, Serge Benhayon and Rebecca Asquith discuss the science of responsibility. Could it actually be completely different to what we have imagined it to be?

When left unimpeded, animals act in their own best interest. Instead, humans knowingly make irresponsible choices that harm their health and relationships. To unpack this phenomenon, Rebecca and Serge explore the quality that makes up the ‘being’ in human being. Through a philosophical discussion on the difference between spirit and soul they explore why both the health conscious persona and habitual smoker can both end up with cancer.

The layered energetic understandings and sciences Serge Benhayon has become renowned for are explored in depth and the façade of modern life is again peeled back to examine what is really going on.

    How much are we in the trend of playing down how amazing we feel because those around us have many ill conditions. We have the responsibility to reflect how vital and well we are for others to see that there is another way and that in every moment we can choose a different choice which impacts our next healthy choice and so on.

  • Rebecca March 1, 2018   Reply →

    Responsibility is taught as a hard, trying and heavy burden to bare, something we have to work at and something that somehow strips away our enjoyment of life or ability to do what we really want. But really, responsibility doesn’t need to be, and in truth is not anything like this – this is something I am still learning, but being responsible doesn’t leave you out of the equation, your equally looked after and considered.

  • James Nicholson March 1, 2018   Reply →

    Responsibility seems like such an overpowering word many of us shy away from yet for me it brings such a sense of purpose and a reason to be doing things. I have seen so many including myself flourish when given the chance to take more responsibility say at work. And what is stopping us from all doing it in our lives then we get to address the real underlying issues and stop getting caught up in all the later stage out plays. I find if I am feeling frustrated I can easily blame another or a situation but when I stop and look back I see that it is agitating me and so I am reacting to what is going on which means I am out of order and so need to address that and then I get to see the situation more clearly and so do not react because with the clarity comes understanding and the more I am prepared to see the more I am given to see.

  • Rebecca February 28, 2018   Reply →

    Responsability is a huge topic – it is actually self empowering and not a burden!

  • Elaine Arthey February 27, 2018   Reply →

    It is not about addressing the illness it is about removing it and then stopping the behaviours that led to the illness in the first place. A great chance to get more honest with ourselves and love ourselves more deeply

    • David March 3, 2018   Reply →

      Elaine thats it, lets get to the root cause of whats gone on, why we get sick and then if we make the changes we inspire the changes for and with others.

    When understanding the difference between the spirit and Soul it does indeed open up our understanding of physical and mental health. For example, no longer am I trapped in the disturbance of random or blaming the microwave for my conditions. Yes sometimes it takes a while to reach my responsibility in which one of the two beings I have chosen to make up all that I am that leads me to the health state I find myself in but it does come eventually and with it a feeling of settlement in the understanding.

  • Natalie Hawthorne February 20, 2018   Reply →

    When we start to feel that the way we have been living has not been responsible, abusive to ourselves and others and that we have been avoiding what we really know then you are at a point in your life where you know your can’t continue in your old ways. This is when the tide changes and it is with each paddle that you make in returning to what you know is true. When we start to live and express with who know we are and how this is a power that is connected with the All then each choice either confirms and celebrates this where Responsibility is a Joy or we fall back to the old ingrained ways and feel the devastation that this brings, only to realise that you can come back and be all of who we truly are. Responsibility never leaves us.

    At any point our life is running according to our connection to Soul or to spirit. This means it is crucial to be able to tell them apart. Yet there is so much confusion in this area throughout society. For ages I engaged in many spiritual new age studies and thought it was a great thing to strengthen my spirit – I did not realise there was an enormous gap between what I was pursuing and living soulfully. In fact there are languages out there that do not even differentiate between the two, using the same word for both! It is such a gift that Serge Benhayon through his presentations and books makes it so easy to start to reconnect to our awareness of this deeply significant aspect of life.

  • Samantha Davidson February 15, 2018   Reply →

    A daily practice and exploration….”How do I become more soulful?” why live shallow, superficial and for short term gain, time to go deep, timeless and expansive and reconnect with who we are in full, through a return to Soul.

  • Jennifer Smith February 13, 2018   Reply →

    I love Rebecca’s question about the being being offered a package to work through and heal in terms in a serious illness such as cancer. This question and this discussion presents a very different way of potentially approaching illness and disease for the person with the illness of disease. At its foundation it is one of responsibility for in that we do need to sit with and look at what it is that had brought us to this place. From experience in health this can very much be done in conjunction with medical care and treatment.

  • HM February 11, 2018   Reply →

    ‘The key is to make sure who we are is the soul’ – Serge Benhayon has delivered this teaching so simply, and with such truth, and this line alone calls out the level of responsibility we are being called to be to live in a way that truly honours the body and the soul.

      Gabriele the all-in-one answer to life through the science of responsibility. What if we embraced what Serge presented, tested it out for our own lives and saw the difference it made before discounting it? I did that, tested it out, and am very pleased that I did as its quite amazing the difference I now feel in my life.

  • Natalie Hawthorne February 5, 2018   Reply →

    Serge makes such great point about our pains or discomforts that are going on in our body, yet we brush them off because they don’t seem to be worth mentioning as there are other conditions going on. We need to stop and look at what we have agreed and accepted as normal. I know I certainly have and it is rather interesting what I can allow to heal with the honesty of where I am at.

  • Golnaz Shariatzadeh February 3, 2018   Reply →

    I love the photo that comes up when logging onto this page. That smile itself reflects the joy of responsibility truly embraced. This is a great episode to debase the debilitating false ideas about responsibility being a burden or a chore. Great viewing for absolutely anyone.

  • Melinda Knights February 2, 2018   Reply →

    I can relate to the trend that we can’t shine or be joyful around others who are feeling miserable, it’s like an unwritten contract to commiserate and enjoin what another feels.

    • Christoph Schnelle February 10, 2018   Reply →

      Yes, that contract is on offer but it hurts to sign on the dotted line.

  • Carmel Reid February 2, 2018   Reply →

    Healing helps us to understand the energetic aspects of every disease and this needs to be understood by conventional medicine because the causes of cancer are not generally known in the world and we look to cure rather than prevention. Lifestyle is beginning to be associated with heart disease and smoking with lung cancer but understanding health from the ‘beingness’ is still far from the norm.

  • Matilda Bathurst January 30, 2018   Reply →

    A quote of the day from Serge Benhayon in this interview has made me smile a lot this morning: ‘Responsibility is a joy’… and I know at times what this feels like… to realise the part we all play in the world and to therefore realise our interconnectedness. There is brotherhood to tap into that flies in the face of all the conflict we live alongside today.

    • Michael Brown February 9, 2018   Reply →

      How different is this from the load-bearing burden that is so commonly projected in society!

    • Rowena Stewart September 15, 2018   Reply →

      So true Matilda. There is an immense grace and joy in the knowing that everything we do matters and that the way we choose to do life can, if done with love, make a huge contribution to all our lives, both directly and indirectly as we feed back more love into the web that holds us together.

  • Jennifer Smith January 29, 2018   Reply →

    We normalise illness and disease as a normal part of ageing. But this is not true. It may be common and I feel we assume that because something is common that its normal. Dementia is not a normal part of ageing for example and neither is cancer. I was with someone today who said that being incontinent was a normal part of ageing. I also talk to a lot of people that have had enough of life as they are entering the terminal phase in their illness, this is also considered to be normal. We need to establish a new normal, a new what is possible. When we look back in history, we think we have made progress, but we haven’t. The outside parts have changed and become a bit more clever. But really we have advanced the external world at the expense of our internal flame.

    • Golnaz Shariaztadeh February 11, 2018   Reply →

      The fact that we keep getting cleverer and cleverer in manipulating and managing life, and we still have a downward spiral in the standard of ‘normal’ we keep settling for and resigning ourselves to in all areas of life, is a huge alarm bell that our approach to life is from okay.
      The wisdom and insights that Serge Benhayon presents offer much insight and clues toward starting to unpick the falsity we have been weaving ourselves into.

    Now if only this science was taught in school…. our society would look very, very different indeed.

    The ability to respond – sounds easy but when the call is to step up and leave my comforts behind it becomes a tad more difficult!

  • Tricia Nicholson January 23, 2018   Reply →

    The amazing power we all have in expressing our unique being ness inspiring others is our true responsibility shared clearly here so beautifully and is so different to what responsibility is made out to be . Our natural expression of love from inside allowing a natural confidence simplicity and joy of living to choose .

  • Joshua Campbell January 21, 2018   Reply →

    There is nothing you could truly say does not make sense to the body in what Serge Benhayon presents here. It all feels so true and my whole body literally ignites with what he is saying. There is no mental theories here. No wish or hope approaches or even an ounce of doubt or hypothesis in what he shares. He shares it from his own lives knowing and this is more powerful than any ideal or belief could ever be.

  • Lieke Campbell January 21, 2018   Reply →

    It really makes sense that when the responsibility for our transformation from spirit to soul is in our own hands the spirit tries to sabotage as much as it can and then it seems sometimes very hard to change so that we want others to do it for us. Even though all along the power of transformation is in our own choices we just have to know this again.

  • Sarah Karam January 16, 2018   Reply →

    It is so irresponsible to play ball with the current trends, if the trends are not true that is. Somewhere along the line, we seemed to have replaced true, with normal, and we have collectively made our gauge of what is acceptable or normal a downward sliding scale. Someone that is willing to remind us of our ultimate responsibility to ourselves and society, is definitely on the right track.

    • Michael Brown January 19, 2018   Reply →

      I like this posed as a philosophical question, Is it normal because it is in agreement with our bodies standard, or because it is common in an ill society?

    • Matilda Bathurst January 30, 2018   Reply →

      It is fascinating and inspiring (as in a catalyst for change) to consider what we accept because it is statistically normal as opposed to what our bodies show us is our true natural.

  • Elaine Arthey January 13, 2018   Reply →

    It is not until we understand the difference between spirit and soul and how energy works that we can begin to understand the human condition.

  • HM January 13, 2018   Reply →

    We certainly do hide our ill conditions and only talk about them once we have to. It is a way of us burying what is truly going on and not wanting to be aware of how far we are living from true vitality.

    • Golnaz Shariatzadeh January 16, 2018   Reply →

      This facade means the whole society can have the appearance of doing well, while in truth most people are suffering the ills of choosing lives that are well below the depth and quality of our true expression.

  • Mary January 7, 2018   Reply →

    I agree with what Serge Benhayon says which is to live in a way that naturally inspires others.
    From my own experience having listened to presentations and attending the Universal Medicine workshops, I felt for myself that there was a way to live that brought simplicity to my complicated way of life. Discarding all the complications such as wanting to be identified as a great friend, work colleague, mother. I had a suitcase full of what I felt I needed as my props, or go to’s which gave me my justification to exist. Relearning how to live by simply working on accepting myself has been life changing. What I treasure about this way of living is that it is non-imposing there is no one telling me what to do.

    • Golnaz Shariatzadeh January 28, 2018   Reply →

      It is so easy throughout life to unconsciously slot into being identified as this, that or another, and letting that dictate our expression. Not only have we been choosing this ingrained way for a long time, most of us are doing it too, so there seems to be a collective game.
      I find a choice like yours Mary a blessing for everyone, because on the receiving end, there are no demands or enticement felt to play any of those patterns and roles back. It makes it so much easier for the rest of us to be honouring of the truth of our own expression too.

  • Jennifer Smith January 5, 2018   Reply →

    “We save ourselves” -The ultimate in responsibility.

    • Matilda Bathurst January 30, 2018   Reply →

      Yup. I love this… no-one to blame, nowhere to hide, but in our own driving seats outing all our behaviours that are contra to our true nature, health and well-being.

  • Golnaz Shriatzadeh January 5, 2018   Reply →

    Recently I have been moved by hearing stories of how young people at toddlers age were found to delight in doing tasks to their own capability to ‘help out’.
    It warmed my heart to see that although as you can imagine the toddlers attempts are likely to make more of a mess than help with the activity, the parents chose to honour such natural expression and allow the child to do his/her thing.
    Such stories make me smile. They are an indication of the innate sense of responsibility we are all born with and the natural desire we have to contribute to the whole.

  • Natalie Hawthorne January 3, 2018   Reply →

    When I first experience Esoteric Healing and felt the arrest of an energy that I had taken into my beingness it was remarkable to feel and experience on all accounts. The actual physical feeling of the release in the body and emotions and then afterwards feeling completely different. The healing modalities as presented by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are extraordinary. I am so thankful I came across them and now make them an every day part of my life.

  • HM January 3, 2018   Reply →

    Responsibility is in each movement. It is not something we switch on and off. It is something that is built in our bodies and Serge Benhayon presents this as he lives it in full.

  • Gabriele Conrad January 2, 2018   Reply →

    The precise difference between spirit and Soul as outlined by Serge Benhayon and The Ageless Wisdom he represents for our age makes sense of all our aberrant if not downright cruel and bestial behaviours which are all, against our true nature.

  • Karin Barea December 30, 2017   Reply →

    If we aren’t even willing to acknowledge there is a spirit and Soul within us then we are essentially letting our spirit have its wayward way. How else do we understand a resolve to never eat something we feel harms our physical body but then find ourselves reaching for something we know we’ll physically regret later?

  • leigh matson December 30, 2017   Reply →

    What I’ve learnt through the works of Serge Benhayon is that when I am under the energy of the spirit engaging in behaviours I know aren’t good or healthy for my body, pausing to ask myself about the energy I am in and my responsibility in that moment, means the push to continue the waywardness starts to fall away. Understanding the two sides makes sense of human behaviour when we are aware that there can be two drivers.

  • Elizabeth Dolan December 29, 2017   Reply →

    We have been so mislead about what responsibility is and who and what we are responsible for. I love how Serge Benhayon very simply puts the truth of responsibility – “we have a responsibility to be who we are”.

  • Andrew Mooney December 29, 2017   Reply →

    Love this take on responsibility here – certainly very different to the definition that I grew up with and is still common today – so simple and so light to consider that all we have to do is live who we truly are in the world.

  • Michael Brown December 28, 2017   Reply →

    Again the way we have used this word has built up its image. Taking responsibility, comes with a serious, load-bearing tone. What if all it is, is responding the call of what’s next? Would we embrace it then?

  • Mary December 28, 2017   Reply →

    I can relate to what Serge Benhayon says about being the being and not what the world has made us to be. I have been supported by the using of the modalities of Universal medicine to let go of being a product of the world. I have been supported to change this and be me, I have let go of all the hurts, ideals and beliefs I had taken on as though they were mine. This freed me and gave me the space to reconnect back to the child I remembered a little girl who looked out on the world with wonder and not mistrust. When we look beyond the protection of the hurts that we all carry there is a being that is quite beautiful to behold. And to be honest why we want to squash this precious part of us makes no sense to me.

  • David December 28, 2017   Reply →

    Listening to this episode has completely changed my view on what responsibility is all about, from looking at it as a task and a burden to actually seeing true responsibility being something that allows another to be inspired to be all of who they are.

  • Golnaz Shariatzadeh December 27, 2017   Reply →

    “What we call who we are can be determined by our Soul or it can be determined by our spirit”. Whether this is a familiar concept or a completely new one, it is worth exploring because so much in life starts to make more sense from such an exploration. And there is no one like Serge Benhayon in supporting with this through the simplicity, clarity and understanding he offers.

  • Melinda Knights December 27, 2017   Reply →

    Before I found the work of Serge Benhayon I had wondered about the difference between the spirit and the soul, however back then it was a concept. Now through my own experiences I can see it’s much more than a concept, it’s a way of living that we can all relate to. It’s the spirit in the self destructive behaviour, the hurts and the indulgences, and the harm of others, and in the soul it’s the loving warmth and simplicity, in the moment of truth that is lightning clear, the harmony we can feel with others, and the feeling we are connected to something so much greater than ourselves. In my own life and in observing the lives of others I can see and feel the difference. On the surface it might seem outrageous that there is the spirit and soul, yet we can all observe and feel the differences of each everyday.

  • Ingrid Ward December 27, 2017   Reply →

    Many wonderful gems of wisdom presented once again by Serge Benhayon. Today’s standout for me was that there is no world saviour… so if we are waiting to be saved, we will be waiting forever. But if we let go of the need/want to be saved and realised that the only person who can save us is us, the true meaning of responsibility begins to become clearer. Gone will be the old belief that responsibility is an onerous burden, to be replaced by the knowing that it is actually a joy, and the joy comes from the power that we all have to make our life the glorious way of living that we have always known deep down inside it could be.

  • Rachel Murtagh December 26, 2017   Reply →

    So much common sense is shared in terms of what we regard as health… True health is a vitality, a a whole wellness, a lived sparkle and not simply an absence of terminal disease. We have accepted being in good health as an ability to function and get by. There is so much brought to our attention in this episode about what it means to be truly well.

  • HM December 26, 2017   Reply →

    Serge Benhayon takes responsibility in the way that he presents this to humanity. With clarity and truth. He is deconstructing the essence of responsibility and presenting it to humanity so we have a choice – do we take it or leave it.

  • Rowena Stewart December 26, 2017   Reply →

    What these episodes deliver will feed humanity for life times to come, because every one is a rich source of universal wisdom that comes with many layers of valuable information. This is the wisest use of this entertainment medium I have ever had the grace and sheer privilege to come across. Thank God for Serge Benhayon TV.

    • Golnaz Shariatzadeh December 29, 2017   Reply →

      Yes Serge Benhayon TV is a great marker for the quality, value and responsibility which could be the foundation of this medium. And perfect that we are making these observations on a page where Rebecca Asquith and Serge Benhayon take the general understanding of responsibility to a deeper level.

  • Matilda Bathurst December 25, 2017   Reply →

    Yes I agree Ariana… these interviews cover such profound topics to a depth that is properly inspiring and what I love about them is that the way Rebecca Asquith and Serge Behayon communicate makes everything simple and accessible.

  • Matilda Bathurst December 25, 2017   Reply →

    23 minutes of brilliant inspiration about responsibility and our current human condition. Thank you Serge Benhayon​ and Rebecca Asquith​ for this interview… my relationship with responsibility is changing daily as I embrace it more, understanding the beauty of my part in the whole.

  • Karin Barea December 25, 2017   Reply →

    Yes, this makes sense like nothing else has ever made sense before. For me I know I’ve been very irresponsible in my life and have the health effects to show it. I’ve always buried my head in the sand not wanting to know the effects of the ill behaviours I know I’ve lived. And, to dull this obvious awareness, I have then knowingly compounded the ill effects by attempt to bury my head further with various means. So hearing how we can be very ill and still be in touch with, and enjoy our beingness inspires me to heal the ill choices and be fully aware of their harm both on me physically but also as the harm my reflection condoned for others. There is nothing we cannot return to love from.

  • Jennifer Smith December 23, 2017   Reply →

    I love Serge’s description of healing being about clearing or healing the root energetic cause of an illness or disease. Therefore someone could still carry a physical illness or disease but have cleared the energetic component that cause this and because this energetic pattern is cleared they can be more of the joy of who they are, even with a physical illness. This turns around illness and disease completely and the burden of illness and disease.

  • Michael Brown December 22, 2017   Reply →

    Responsibility is not something to take or to have, it is to be. To be responsible is the way out of this self-induced mess we’re in.

    • Melinda Knights December 27, 2017   Reply →

      So simple Michael, “Responsibility is not something to take or to have, it is to be.”, thank you.

  • Natalie Hawthorne December 20, 2017   Reply →

    Responsibility goes a long way, much further than what we think it does. How we live and every choice we make has an immediate ripple effect into the universe so when we view it like this you get to understand and feel the importance of everything that we are doing.

  • Golnaz Shariatzadeh December 19, 2017   Reply →

    As with so many other aspects of life, our perception of responsibility is twisted beyond measure in a way that debilitates our true expression. Serge Benhayon is a master at peeling back the layers and revealing the gold that we have become so accustomed to ignore.

    • Jennifer Smith September 18, 2018   Reply →

      With that he is the master of simplicity, which is often not regarded as one with responsibility. But from what Serge presented here, they go hand in hand.

  • Golnaz Shariatzadeh December 15, 2017   Reply →

    Who would have thought that responsibility, love and joy are so beautifully intertwined – in fact they could be seen as a different expression of the same.

  • Kerstin Salzer December 9, 2017   Reply →

    Healing is removing the energetic aspects of illness and disease, all aspects where we did not live up to the amazingness we truly are. This is so supportive and more nourishing than only removing the symptoms.

  • Jennifer Smith December 7, 2017   Reply →

    Knowing that we have a place within that supports us and does not rely on the approval of the outside world is very beautiful. For this place within is exquisitely beautiful and shows us very clearly who we are and who everyone else is. Its so much more than our eyes tell us.

  • Jennifer Smith December 6, 2017   Reply →

    So very important to reflect on the quality of our being and what is running our being. That is, is it the Soul or the Spirit? I grew up in the Catholic tradition and was familiar with these words but never did I understand what they meant, never was it explained so clearly like Serge Benhayon explains it. I feel it is one of the most important teachings, for without it nothing makes sense.

    • Matilda Bathurst December 25, 2017   Reply →

      I agree, Jennifer, the difference between soul and spirit is the most foundational thing we can learn and understand about the human condition, our origins and purpose. Serge Benhayon’s explanation of this in this interview and in many other presentations is simple and undeniable.

  • Kerstin Salzer December 5, 2017   Reply →

    Our only responsibility is to know that there is a character in us which is amazing, multidimensional, gorgeous, worthy and valuing and loving, and to responsively take care of this and live this quality instead of showing the world a version of us which the world has made us to be. This is so powerful. What kind of more beautiful responsibility is there as to nourish and live our amazingness, love and beauty and bring this to the world ?

  • Jennifer Smith December 5, 2017   Reply →

    Its very true that our health and how we are with our health has and is having and will continue to have a very big impact on society in general, on communities and families. This affects everybody, no-one is excluded here. Health professionals, even with the knowledge they have on the human body and knowing about how our lifestyle choices can ultimately affect our health, still make choices with their own health that will lead eventually to poor health and a reliance on the system that is buckling already under the weight of the impact of illness and disease and our choices that result in them.

  • Golnaz Shariatzadeh December 5, 2017   Reply →

    Responsibility, just like breathing is one of the most natural forms of expression we have, yet we have somehow talked ourselves into thinking it is great to escape it.
    Truly eye-opening when we start to realise how much it actually exhausts us resisting the natural impulse we have to love, express and be responsible in life.

  • Sarah Karam December 2, 2017   Reply →

    I have met people that are terminally ill that inspire me greatly, not because they are sick or the way they are handling their sickness but because they are amazing people. Illness does not mean you have failed in anyway, it is a communication and usually deep down, if they connect, the person that is ill knows what message is being communicated back to them by them. Knowing that life has so many layers, enables you to be more equipped to deal with ill health. We have a responsibility to remind people of these layers or parts of us and we can do that by living soulfully to best of ability, connecting and growing our sixth sense and being very involved with community.

  • Kerstin Salzer December 2, 2017   Reply →

    To understand that in truth we are joyful, amazing, vibrant beings is something I never have been told in my life. It struck me that I am powerful and radiant, when all my life I was convinced being worth nothing. And when there were so-called compliments often they were laced with jealousy. What is presented here is pure joy and appreciation of the beings we truly are.

  • Jennifer Smith November 26, 2017   Reply →

    Learning the difference between the spirit and soul has been challenging because it has, and still does expose the choices that I make to keep me in the indulgences of the spirit and therefore separate from the soul. This teaching really does make sense because it explains so much about my own choices, but also about why things happen in this world they way they do. They have really helped me make sense of what I see around me.

  • Kerstin Salzer November 25, 2017   Reply →

    Responsibility is to be open to shine our amazingness, love and beauty into the world every moment. I grew up with the understanding that responsibility is a burden. So if I connect to my true inner beauty and amazingness would this be a burden to embrace in full and live ?
    I would say no. It would be like to have a brightly shining diamond inside and dismiss it, ignore it, make it unseen.

  • Michael Brown November 25, 2017   Reply →

    Responsibility scares us because over many many years the meaning has been changed to represent a burden and a strain. The more we embrace it as life’s richness the more it will support us in our days and in our lives.

  • Natallija November 22, 2017   Reply →

    Having seen this episode a few times I am starting to really understand how we have been modelled that responsibility is about fatigue, exhaustion and overwhelm, when the living example of Serge Benhayon shows us the total opposite. A body of vitality, harmony and joy… fully responsible in life and what there is to offer another in this reflection.

This is devastating on so many levels, the financial cost to a family but also community, the loss of a person way before they actually die, the required care that is often much more than most families can manage etc etc. This is also only one illness/ condition. Each illness has a similar effect on communities and families. This conversation about what is health from a beingness level is opening up the conversation on something that has been ignored for a long time. It exposes that our current way of approaching health, although very needed is only part of the story.

    Wow! There is so much simple gold in here. Our choice – with no judgement or burden – responsibility has never looked so joyous. 1st, 2nd, 3rd viewing…SergeBenhayonTV can be watched over and over again.

    Today I truly felt the word responsibility has been used in a way that one is asked to be less and express less. What is offered in this episode exposes how we are often fed a belief that often covers up the truth.

    We think it is our right to be able to be irresponsible about our bodies and the way we live, we think it does not matter that we diminish ourselves in living and expressing our full glory. We hold a belief that this is happening in our own little bubble and it does not affect everyone else.
    Here is a preposterous example; What if the sun decided to start adopting behaviours that would mean it was not going to shine so brightly or consistently? What if plants grew and bore fruit only when they felt like it and what if the earth was making choices that affected its turning round (night & day) and going around the sun (seasons and years)? These examples are ridiculous. Exactly. Because no part of the Universe, apart from human beings, works that way; and we are shown from every angle that our assumption that what we do does not affect everyone and everything is a complete illusion.

    It makes such simple sense to understand ourselves as the human and the being, the physical and the non physical aspects of who we are and how these are interrelated and impact on our health, wellbeing, and quality of life.

  • Michael Brown November 14, 2017   Reply →

    I have learnt that it is not about taking responsibility, as a burden or strain, but it is about being responsible and by that I mea taking and appreciating every opportunity I am given.

  • Jonathan Stewart November 11, 2017   Reply →

    Perceiving a person with the two aspects of the ‘human’ and the ‘being’ as presented by Serge Benhayon brings a depth of understanding of humanity in general and the individual that is sorely lacking. Once presented it seems such common sense and with it a whole new way of looking for resolutions to problems rather than short-term solutions.

    What is also apparent here is that responsibility does not need to come from the top down, as it is a quality each of us naturally holds. Even a baby can show an adult responsibility, as I have seen with my own eyes. We seem to have, as a society, appropriated responsibility to the bare minimum we can get away with and so this means we avoid teaching true responsibility to others, as true teaching is by reflection.

  • Natalie Hawthorne November 8, 2017   Reply →

    We have created the word responsibility to be loaded with such a heavy burden we don’t want to know anything about it. In doing so it doesn’t question or expose the choices we do make that are irresponsible which suits us down to the ground. When we take a step back and understand what true responsibility is then you get to see it in the light of what it really means. To live and be all of who we are, no compromise and appreciate how special this really is actually becomes a joy to live. Thanks Serge Benhayon for the wisdom you bring through.

  • Sarah Karam November 3, 2017   Reply →

    What I love hearing Serge Benhayon talk about is the importance of not letting an illness take us over, as in, dull our light or stop our joy.. The body is the maker of all truth but of what truth? Illness is the “beingness” way of communicating back to the body, it is our responsibility to listen. Health is impacting society in a big big way, the question is….how loud does the message need to be in order to get our attention?

  • Michael Brown October 31, 2017   Reply →

    A beautiful man sent me an email the other day breaking down the word responsibility and how much the word has been twisted to become a burden and struggle. It’s amazing to be able to see past the “standard” meaning of words as Serge Benhayon and Rebecca Asquith have done in this interview.

  • HM October 31, 2017   Reply →

    Responsibility is how we live and what we reflect to others. We can’t tell someone how to be or what to do, but we can live in a way that inspires.

    • Jonathan Stewart November 11, 2017   Reply →

      Living in a way that inspires is the means to express what we feel and know is true without imposing that on another.

  • Fiona Cochran October 30, 2017   Reply →

    It is so true that we only go to the doctor with our most extreme ailments, if we have something wrong with us that we can manage then, for the most part, we ignore it and accept it as normal.

  • Fiona Cochran October 30, 2017   Reply →

    We have a responsibility to live the joy and love that we are so that we can reflect and inspire another to live the joy that they naturally are. That turns responsibility completely on its head.

  • Fiona Cochran October 30, 2017   Reply →

    I’m often told that I am heathy, I eat the right foods, go to bed early, rest well etc., and yet I know that there is so much more that needs to be addressed if I am to live a truly healthy lifestyle.

    We are being taken out before out time with the increase in the diseases. Working in palliative care we are seeing an increase in the number of people aged between 55 and 65 who are being referred to palliative care and of course its never just about that person. There are families and friends that are all affected.

    Put together and held in their entirety, the teachings of The Ageless Wisdom make sense like nothing has ever made sense before. All my questions and confusion about life and its discordance are understood more and more as I open myself up to this innate and ancient wisdom.

  • jennym October 20, 2017   Reply →

    Now I understand how responsibility is a joy for we can only heal ourselves and inspire another to heal themselves. This takes away the heaviness of being responsible for others to make changes.

  • Jennifer Smith October 19, 2017   Reply →

    How often do we hear that? “Responsibility is a Joy” They are 2 words that would ordinarily not go in the same sentence. But there is absolute truth in this for the qualities of these 2 words feed each other in like a feedback loop. The sad thing with both of these words is that he have lost their true meanings. We can live in a way that exudes both. When we live it we know it.

  • Sarah Karam October 18, 2017   Reply →

    We all hold an important place in this world, to think that we can just check out and nobody will be affected by our absence is an ignorant position to take. We are all equally valuable and we all have many others watching to see what our next step is. The truth is we are responsible for ourselves and others whether we like it or not, it is an energetic fact.

  • Golnaz Shariatzadeh October 18, 2017   Reply →

    Understanding the fact of spirit and Soul within us, the distinction between the two and how my alignment to either one plays out, has been one of the most significant turning points in my life.

  • Harrison White October 17, 2017   Reply →

    A responsibility to be all that we are, so others have the opportunity to see who they are too, very amazing and humbling.

  • Golnaz Shariatzadeh October 17, 2017   Reply →

    Great episode. Listening to Serge Benhayon it becomes very clear that we can not reflect on the true meaning of responsibility or any other aspect of human existence, without considering the energetic dynamics of the life we are living.

  • Jennifer Smith October 16, 2017   Reply →

    I love how Serge Benhayon shared that we are not here to be ‘saved’ by another, but that we are here to save ourselves. This is the beauty of responsibility. We might not think it is beautiful, especially when we are in the midst of the discomfort on feeling the results of our irresponsibility. However when we realise that true responsibility is about being ourselves and expressing this to the best of our ability we begin to see the ripple effect of this for ourselves but also for others. Now that is very beautiful indeed.

  • Michael Brown October 15, 2017   Reply →

    Comfort is easy, but complicated. Responsibility can be difficult at times, but is oh so simple.

  • HM October 15, 2017   Reply →

    More and more there are events that are happening in the world that suggest we are not willing to take responsibility – and that we don’t truly live in a way that represents it in full. What Serge Benhayon presents is a link back to the science of it – the truth of it – which is so deeply needed in the world today.

    I know someone recently who went to the doctor with leg pain, which ended up being a simple pulled muscle. Interestingly the doctor was surprised that they had gone to see the doctor and didn’t really wait to see what was going to happen, i.e.. to see whether it settled down or not. Doctors seem to mostly see people with chronic conditions and if there is something acute going on, its still related to the chronic condition. And a lot of people now have multiple chronic conditions, no wonder we may not mention the sore back!

  • Stephanie Stevenson October 14, 2017   Reply →

    To understand the true meaning of the word responsibility as joyfully living our natural way, from our essence, beautifully exposes the unnecessary seriousness, trying, striving and controlling attitudes often associated with responsibility as being a heavy burden.

  • Matilda Bathurst October 13, 2017   Reply →

    Offering us the opportunity to re-write our relationship with responsibility, Serge Benhayon presents philosophy and truth in a totally accessible and inspiring way.

  • Gregory Barnes October 4, 2017   Reply →

    Energetic responsibility as presented by Serge Benhayon show that life is not just full of random acts but as everything is because of energy, we have to be responsible for which energy we choose to align to.

  • Jennifer Smith September 30, 2017   Reply →

    There has been much presented here that will affect the future of health and of medicine. In fact what Serge Benhayon has offered here is truly ground breaking. Working in healthcare I see the devastation of what illness and disease can bring and how we have downplayed what wellness and wellbeing actually is. Its sad that it takes major illness and disease to allow us to be more honest with ourselves. But it doesn’t always have to be this way. We have created a language around illness and disease that keeps us in the same momentums too; the “fighting the good fight’, ‘never give up’ etc. There is much that can be done in health care to change our current trajectories in health, but this revolution in healthcare now starts and belongs to us, rather than the finding so called ‘cures’.

  • Melinda Knights September 29, 2017   Reply →

    What a beautiful word responsibility is when it’s used in its true purpose, to be all of who we are, the love, joy, and amazingness and reflect that way of being and living to others.
