I work in the Recruitment industry covering the banking and finance sector. Each day in London’s City A.M. newspaper is a stream of news reporting the euro zone crisis, bank rate fixing, countries defaulting on debt, corruption in businesses and big industry chiefs’ theft and greed. This heavily impacts the field of employment and hiring opportunities, so I am naturally interested in how our world economy can be in such disarray, and moreover the knock-on effect, impact and pressures this has upon a worker’s physical frame, their health, mental state, well-being and overall ability to perform in their job and develop relationships at work (and at home).
Having attended Universal Medicine courses for the past six years now, I have found in Serge Benhayon someone who is able to talk intelligently, shedding invaluable light on this ‘illness’ we have in society, at work and in our physical bodies. All I know and can feel is someone who communicates and lives with the utmost integrity and professionalism, which for me is the key in ensuring the credibility of voice that is not evident in your article.
Through listening to Serge speak via audios and courses, it is clear that he seeks only to serve in raising the awareness and reality (truth) of what is really going on in regards to the above worldly dilemmas which impact us on a daily basis. By simply presenting that the micro (ie., personal or human level) must first be examined before then being able to respond on the macro/world scale is obvious economics, and it makes responsible sense to me to consider myself first before another.
Words on Serge Benhayon 
When someone’s teachings reach every industry by supporting people of all areas of society, in a simple and accessible way, there must be something true. But even no needing about any proof of that, people’s testimonies and clear positive changes in their lives, are enough evidence of the inmense treasure we are receiving through Serge and Universal Medicine.
What I’ve been noticing in the business world in the particular industry I am in is the bigger the business the greater the lack of integrity. It’s disturbing that businesses were created by people and then they become a machine that consumes people all for profit and ‘success’, and in their wake are many hurt and damaged people who have had their trust broken. To me business is a vehicle for our qualities of integrity, care and true service, where we can honour contracts and no one needs to be left lesser. If you make business about people you still make money but you don’t break people.
We are fooling ourselves if we think that Journalism has any morals it doesn’t. The media is run by big corporations out to prostitute themselves in whatever way they can to make money. so the way to stop this monopoly is to stop buying the newspapers and stop watching the TV, their money will dry up. When we do not discern what we see, hear and read we can be tricked into believing what we see, read and hear is true, when it is cunningly dished up as news worthy. At the end of the day we are calling to be misinformed because then we do not have to take responsibility for ourselves, we can continue to point the finger and blame others for the mess we are all in.
If we’re impacted by the world then we are not just passive recipients, we can be change agents through our connection.
Has greed and corruption become such an incidental norm to modern day economics that we have come to expect it and in some ways maybe even accept it as the norm and as something we cannot reverse.
I would say yes to your question Suse, we seem as a collective to care more about money/profit than about our own health or that of others. We have created this profit monster that keeps growing because we keep feeding it to the detriment of our health, sanity and how we live in society with each other.
The micro is the basis and foundations of the macro – we all know this is true. Any organisation is only as good as its people who work inside it and any planet is only as good as the beings that inhabit it.
When worldly matters are discussed in UM presentations there’s no slander or scandal or drama but a very understanding and all-inclusive approach that includes each person in the audience and their lives that make up the world picture. It’s a wider scope than the narrowness of the mainstream media reports I have found.
I agree with you Sofia when you say
“Through listening to Serge speak via audios and courses, it is clear that he seeks only to serve in raising the awareness and reality (truth) of what is really going on in regards to the above worldly dilemmas which impact us on a daily basis.”
There are very few people out there in the world raising our awareness to the state we are in. To me Illness and disease is the modern day version of the plague if we were to add up all the deaths related to just cancer I think we would be staggered by the total, and that is just one disease if we add in the others we are as the saying goes ‘dying like flies’ Nobody seems to be asking the question why is this happening except of course Serge Benhayon but not only does he ask the question why, he also knows the answer to the question. Unfortunately there are very few people listening.
A world in disarray, bodies in disarray. This is pretty much us. Yet, there is no need for us to be like that. How do we change this state of things? By connecting to our bodies, surrender to what we feel, make all the changes we feel we have to do to express ourselves in the world and walk US. What Serge Benayon presents is IT, unless you enjoy what we have and is killing you…..
If we understand that what happens in the small will happen in the big we know the power we have and do wise to take the responsibility this carries.
WISE indeed. The responsibility lays in the way we move and the intention we carry. There is nothing we can hide, as in the world, even though when we try hard, the truth will be revealed in multiple ways if needed.
“The micro (ie., personal or human level) must first be examined before then being able to respond on the macro/world scale is obvious economics”. This makes sense in any ecosystem or within our bodies. The state of the micro environment determines the macro. Each of us in society contributes to the whole.
“I have found in Serge Benhayon someone who is able to talk intelligently, shedding invaluable light on this ‘illness’ we have in society, at work and in our physical bodies.”
Serge offers us a completely different perspective, and one that awakens us to the true potential of humanity working together.
First inward – then it must be observed on the outer. For where otherwise will the observation be from?
“First inward – then it must be observed on the outer. For where otherwise will the observation be from?” This is such a great question Danna.
I agree – the world is in a mess and needs a completely different approach – Serge Benhayon has only ever offered a deeper understanding of the reality we live in every single day.
By bringing it back into the micro of my everyday life, the choices I make and their ripple effect I then get to see the wider effect of those ripples from a centralised point. Rather than seeing the bigger issues from an outsider/not responsible view point which changes nothing.
After all – the micro makes the macro….
Taking care of ourselves first before others goes against the grain of how we are brought up especially girls. And I can say the girls in my family were brought up to believe that others came before them and that it was very selfish to consider themselves before others. So at first it was extremely hard go against the grain of society and put myself first. But it has been a complete life changer to finally give myself permission to do this. As you say Zofia now the fog surrounding this has shifted it makes perfect sense to look at the micro level of life if we get that correct then naturally I feel the macro will take care of itself.
Addressing the micro means taking responsibility and when we take responsibility for our own part we get to see the extent of the rot and harm that is at play.
Also, I have found in addressing my micro I see how much of an effect I have on the macro. So my micro isn’t really that micro.
Defending plays no part when the reflection is loud and clear!
World economies reflect the corruption and lies we live by on a daily basis. We live to secure security for ourselves and certain others. We do not work together in harmony. I listen to the news and the whole world is in a state of flux. I know if I bring a greater level of integrity to my life this will have an effect on the world too. I have to ask myself what lies am I continuing to live by because it suits me? It’s only when I see the devastation that lies and corruption reap that I see beyond my comfort and care enough to change.
Yes it does start with me, each one of us to look at how we are feeding the system and let the devastation be our inspiration to begin to make those changes in our own lives, which is in fact for all of us.
Serge Benhayon asks the questions that contain the answers and get one to wonder why didn’t we ask those questions ourselves for once you hear the truth it is all so very simple and obvious but until then it is complicated and hidden.
Serge Benhayon does indeed intelligently present on the dilemmas we face in our world and his dialogue is well worth listening to as it empowers us to face these self made ills and transmutes our attitudes and commitment to life 100 fold. It is extremely sensible economics to ensure I am fit, ready and able to work and do so each day with a joyful commitment to my job, a responsibility that goes way beyond the ‘9 to 5’ into all areas of my life, so that all I live supports my ability to earn my own living and positively contribute to the business I work for and the society I live in.
The illness of society that is spoken of here is all too evident. The only issue is that we fight it, judge it, and ultimately sucombe to its erroneous ways. This illness can only be addressed by each of us choosing to honor and care for our bodies, as no one, but us, lives in them.
Integrity is something that needs greater attention in our writing, more so in our way of living. A point that has been forgotten and no longer lived. What is being put into our area of attention is : how much integrity is there in our daily interactivity and how much integrity and respect do we hold ourselves?
Well said Zofia. How on earth can the world change if we ourselves are not willing to be and live the change that is needed first. To realise and embrace this responsibility is empowering for us and all and this is the message that is lived and reflected by Serge Benhayon. We are love in essence and living love is what we are here for. The power of reflection is the true power of change we are all bestowed with, and when we are willing to be honest and take responsibility for the choices we are making with how we are living, we then will see the great impact that living love will bring.
I have never seen/heard/met anyone that loves and cares for the entire humanity as much as Serge Benhayon does. What he lives and presents may not agree with or pander to our choices but he understands so much so that he does not give up on the love that we are even though we may not be living that.
Lies abound in this world today, lies we swallow hook line and sinker and sometimes we need a wise unattached and heart-full person such as Serge to expose it all so we can all choose to live truth once again
Makes perfect sense to me Zofia. I totally agree with this. “Through listening to Serge speak via audios and courses, it is clear that he seeks only to serve in raising the awareness and reality (truth) of what is really going on in regards to the above worldly dilemmas which impact us on a daily basis.”, with absolutely no investment in anyone getting anything or him getting any recognition whatsoever! This is very rare in this world.
.” By simply presenting that the micro (ie., personal or human level) must first be examined before then being able to respond on the macro/world scale”
This is an important understanding for the Macro always starts at the micro and what is macro is only a magnification of the micro. So if there is disharmony at the Macro level its source will always be from micro level.
It always starts with each individual and how they choose to live and what they choose to reflect. For some reason we often prefer to look at and point fingers at others and not take responsibility for our lives.
Responsibility 101! Live it!
How we live has a direct correlation to what goes on in the world, if we live in disharmony by reflection the world will be disharmonious and likewise if we live a lie then the world in turn will not speak the truth, we have a great responsibility to live our own truth, to change the way of the world.
What you share makes so much sense. If, in our personal lives, we live in disarray, low sense of wellbeing, greed, stress and such like, then this can only play out in larger situations such as within corporations, and our institutional systems.
What you and Serge Benhayon say makes so much sense and in many ways the truth is always so obvious so if we choose not to listen we have to wonder if people have an investment in not knowing or living the truth?
The macrosism of society in every sector is a reflection of how we live the microsism of our daily lives. I know how I spend my money, what I invest in, what I don’t is going to have a knock on effect around me. We have way more clout and can’t play little and say ‘I’m only one person, what I do doesn’t matter.’ That’s how I’ve lied to myself that I can be irresponsible and it does not matter.
What is written in this letter today, succinct and very clear, is still relevant today. The macro is an extension of the micro, and the teachings of Serge Benhayon reveal this so simply, because we all do in fact know this.
Everything has an effect on everything. Why should we be out of this equation? Why not reflect about the quality our contribution to the whole as well as its effects on it and our life?
We can so easily jump to criticise and share our viewpoint on the state of our government systems and the ways in which they are led but how often do we stop to consider our responsibility in the way we live and the quality in which we express to one another.
There is a whole debate whether the causation goes from macro to micro or from micro to macro. The truth is that although micro and macro are absolutely intertwined in their working, it is only at the micro level that we can work on to eventually turn the macro around.
Universal Medicine is the only organisation that I have encountered so far that presents that everything starts with us, not in a selfish way but in a truly caring and thus responsible way. We still need to understand how immensely powerful true self-love and self-care are, for all.
Looking at the micro does explain the macro except if we do that we have to take responsibility on a deeply personal level – it may be more comfortable to focus on the macro.
It starts within us.. A beautiful reflection of what connection does and so also the lack (absence) of it.. This shows us how much responsibility we have.
Everything about our industries, our banking, government and society is showing that the current way we are living doesn’t add up. One step within a leading organisation reveals major inconsistencies with the ‘brand message’ and appearance they put out. It’s accepted as normal that there is some discrepancy with what people say and the way they are in real life. But where has that got us? I know in my life, I may make mistakes and take wrong turns but if I am honest about where I am at I feel empowered and supported to move on. It’s the fudging of sums to make us ‘feel better’ that ultimately divides and subtracts us. Thank you Zofia for outlining this equation of commercial integrity and true love.
‘Everything about our industries, our banking, government and society is showing that the current way we are living doesn’t add up’, true if we are considering whether or not they are supportive of everybody but that’s the problem most of us aren’t, most of us look at these things and only consider whether or not they work for us and as long as we continue to do that then industry, banking, government and society will never be for the benefit of all.
It’s been five years since this blog was first written and for me I can verify absolutely that for the past five years Serge Benhayon is the most committed person who cares for humanity that anyone could ever meet. Liking the truth he shares is a personal choice, but when willing to listen it makes so much sense in revealing the reasons the world is approaching crisis points with health, the humanitarian travesty and economics.
There is a huge economic reason to look after ourselves and our healthcare as currently every health care system in the world is in crisis in regards to funding as well as being able to staffing our hospital/,medical centres etc with people who are fit to work. Universal Medicine is an organisation with a long track record of supporting people to turn around their health and wellbeing which then ensures we have fit and able people to staff our hospitals, medical clinics etc as well as saving Governments a fortune on not having to support even more sick people.
Feeling as I read this the giant chasm between ‘what the papers say’ and what is truly happening in life. If we rely on newspapers for our understanding of how life is, then we are really quite lost.
And we all recognize this Richard but most of us do nothing about it. The saying ‘You can’t believe everything you hear’ is often said in relation to our news industries. By just accepting that this is the way this industry is, perpetuates more of the same and it just keeps getting more shocking.
Looking after ourselves ought to be our everyday responsibility. If people took more responsibility for their health for example we would not have the health crisis that we have today with lifestyle diseases out of control.
The world as it is can only be the result of how we all are living, so each and every one of us, and the choices we make each day, affects the all.
I feel responsibility is the key ingredient to resolving our life issues and global issues. Responsibility is something our society actually does not encourage enough because I am seeing irresponsibility being rewarded and celebrated and the word responsibility is often distorted.
The macro is composed completely of the details in the micro, thus the quality of every detail matters.
Well said, the illness of corruption increases and does not stop at any area of workplace and company. It is sad and shocking to see people exploiting especially also the systems paid by people through taxes or public insurances, as such exploiting and corrupting peole and humanity no different like a virus exploiting the health of somebody in a severe way.
Serge Benhayon is the founder of Universal Medicine and is leading his business in an honest and truthfull way supporting thousands of people and getting severely attacked? Not those corrupting but those being honest and truthful.
Journalism currently is known by most as a cherry picker and looking to sell headlines and not really truly report the news. We still buy their papers so to speak and so we haven’t collectively had enough of this and instead just talk about the impact it has. Journalism itself isn’t the home for ‘bad’ people by any stretch but there again are people who see what’s going on and don’t take the consistent action to see it change. Where does this leave us? It leaves us with a society that becomes used to cherry picking people, only hearing or seeing part of what a person is or does and making a judgement on that. We don’t often go to the source and flesh out the truth, we leave part of the story there for others to cherry pick and once you have information 3rd or 4th hand it’s well and truly just a part of what is true. The next time you read, hear or are told something, qualify it. Don’t just take things that are said to you, do an investigation of type into what is really going on. Just like journalism conveniently reports parts of things we too are we a party to that and the only way to make a change is to bring it from ourselves first, change things from inside to out.
I agree Zofia, in order to address the state of any organisation, corporation, country or economic zone we need to be willing to see what is going on at an individual level – how are we relating with one another, how are we at home as well as at work, how do we care for and nurture ourselves and do we truly express who we are in our daily lives…?
Throughout history we have had those that are willing to speak from beyond the veil we have chosen to so shroud ourselves in, by virtue of their commitment to peer under and thus raise it. Naturally one would assume that such a voice would be welcomed in the darkened existence we have become so lost in, but this is not taking into consideration the fact that such blindness is chosen and chosen with good reason. Thus, there will always be those that choose to see all that is true and real in our world and those that choose to remain blind to it.
Brilliantly said Zofia, what Serge Benhayon presents is that we all have been given a big gift with our natural senses. He asks us to consider what our life would be like if we listened to them on a regular basis. He truly offers another dimension to the label ‘common sense’. Given the debt our cities and companies are running at, I agree it’s just logical to consider we all already have what we need to make the sums of life add up.
If we are going to report a story on an organisation or person , first we must check the information ourselves giving opportunity for these persons or organisations to speak their truth. Not blindly accepting what someone else has said.
Unless of course it doesn’t suit the story that we’ve already decided to tell and then we’ll only interview those who will support our story and edit out the bits that don’t.
We have nothing of truth to offer the world if we do not first claim the fact that we have everything we need already within us. In other words, being of service can only be lived if we first serve the living impulses of our body that is directly connected to the Universe and the limitless potential of love.
Very true, however, it is very difficult to accept the reflection of someone who is making choices that deep down we know to be true, but are choices that challenge or expose our own lack of will to make the same choice – and thus why people will often find comfort in making up reasons to ignore the reflection that so challenges them. For example, much much easier to call Universal Medicine a cult that truly study the miraculous way it has affected so many people’s lives in such a positive way.
How can we consider others if we do not first take care of ourselves? Even the airlines know that and tell you in the case of an emergency to first apply the oxygen mask to yourself before others.
One of the most beautiful gifts to offer is an opportunity to see the truth of a situation that has otherwise eluded you, for within the awareness there are great lessons and an honesty of exactly where we are as a society, so that we don’t blindly continue seemingly moving forward over the many issues that are just swept under the carpet. It is only in the knowing that something can be done about them.
Perhaps we like pretending that we are fine as a society. It doesn’t take much to see we are not but if we choose to pretend we are, then it only makes sense that we will not listen and even attack someone who has the love and care to point out the root of it all.
There is so much blame that comes into the equation before responsibility even gets a look in. We are living in a cycle of “responsibility recoil”. As soon as the word in mentioned or actioned, a blanket of comfort appears amongst the masses. Is this not the case in our current economic stance worldwide?
Serge Benhayon has the real answers and they are real because he does not preach them or has some theory or idea for others to perform, he actually shares that what he lives himself and by that just shows what is possible for everyone, who makes the same choices.
‘By simply presenting that the micro (ie., personal or human level) must first be examined before then being able to respond on the macro/world scale is obvious economics, and it makes responsible sense to me to consider myself first before another.’ Totally agree Zofia, when we consider ourselves first it is that quality we take to everything we do.
What this blog makes clear is that we have to consider the effects of our actions on others from every angle, not just some (of our choices or what is legally mandated). Irresponsibility is very costly indeed. Not because something has not turned into a public problem, it is a problem and represents a heavy cost on others, in this case a whole economic sector.
Zofia, looking at the microcosm as a the start for change in the macrocosm is brilliant. We so often get distracted seeing the larger picture and wanting to change that or feeling powerless to do anything about it. But this in itself is just blinding ourselves to the fact that there is much we can do by starting small and on a microcosmic scale, with ourselves first, within our homes and families and from here true change follows. And it is trusting that when we make those little changes, however small they may be, it will be the inspiration for others to do likewise and hence in this we build a solid foundation that allows further unfoldment on a larger scale.
Would you not think that if you were to make accusations such as those made by the SMH all those years ago, that you would in the interests of discovering the truth, interview both sides of the fence. Of course, the political editor at the time, Heath Aston, did no such thing. How unusual that a political editor should have taken up such an interest in a complimentary healing clinic. That on its own suggested there was implicit bias before this article was already written, and that Heath Aston has more than a professional interest in this story.
How we live, what we say and do, has an impact on the world around us, it is important to see that how we are living is adding to the dilemmas, crisis, and state of our planet or whether through taking responsibility for our life whereby love and self care become paramount, we can then reflect this loving way out to humanity.
A great call regarding raising awareness on the lack of true integrity around world economy and the real consequences of not considering people and their true wellbeing first and foremost.
“Through listening to Serge speak via audios and courses, it is clear that he seeks only to serve in raising the awareness and reality (truth) of what is really going on in regards to the above worldly dilemmas which impact us on a daily basis”.
I am beginning to understanding that it is pretty much impossible to resolve our world issues, dilemmas and crisis from a macro scale without first addressing what is going on within ourselves on a micro scale. Understanding this has eliminated a sense of overwhelm when it comes to knowing and understanding how I can contribute to true change, therefore, contribute to restoring harmony back to humanity. It is very simple when we all work together starting from resolving issues, dilemmas and crisis within our lives first before we are able to support the rest of humanity.
I love the angle and way you presented this Zofia – for economics to be understood on a worldly scale is to understand yourself personally in how you operate. It brings a new meaning to the words economics and business. Thank you for the enlightenment.
It is though we put our hands over our ears and shut our eyes and say la la la….that at least is how I used to be and can still be if a button gets pushed, so to speak…however there are less buttons….and I keep on working on them. How we live every moment, makes up the whole, there is no separation, we are all responsible, no doubt…however much we ignore the fact, it can’t be denied.
The title says it all! Our economy worldwide is reflecting our levels of responsibility as humanity! Our actions have a ripple effect.
Yes, it’s literally all about economies of scale and the first place to start is with the micro – ourselves, for it is only here that we can be fully responsible and accountable for what we do and how we live. Once we’ve mastered that, we can start to go macro. If you consider the word economics is rooted in the notion of keeping good house, it makes sense that we start in our own backyards.
What does media do to truly bring a change into the the “worldly dilemmas which impact us on a daily basis”? Is it not media that more and more supports what is going on by the way they report and ‘inform’? No wonder that they react to someone who does bring a change for sure…
Hmmm, second blog today I have read on true responsibility. But hey, as long as we are nodding politely to our neighbour, and giving our small change to the “save the whale fund”, then are we not a responsible citizen? Well yes, to a degree, but such obedience to social etiquette is but window dressing, and in truth a smokescreen that serves to disquise our true lack of responsibility in calling out that which is not true. Evil exists in its most extreme forms not because human beings are inherently wired to carry out such heinous acts, but because evil was not nipped in the bud early enough when it paraded itself in a form that was much less insidious. Take for example domestic violence. We all abhor the extreme acts of violence against women, but what about when we have a harsh word to say, or are abrupt with our loved ones? No one even turns an eye at such acts, and yet such acts ultimately foster in their own way tolerance for a way of being that when left to its own eventually leads down a path to what we call domestic violence. And so, when we hear the term responsibility, we need to prick up our ears, and not brush it off as not being applicable to us merely because we were not necessarily the ones that pushed the button on the bomb, so to speak.
How can we even begin to change the world around us if we first do not look to change what is ill within ourselves.
True responsibility is a long way from becoming normality. It is much easier to have something and someone to blame, and a cause to follow than it is to look at our own part in things.
Responsibility has been a topic that I have heard often being discussed around the lunch table at work.The levels of commitment and the unity that is felt when teams work together makes our jobs seem effortless when all parties come to the table.
All this talk of the stock market and the economy as being the source of our woes, when in truth it is only the end game of a much deeper seated problem, and that is our inability as a humanity to work together. Of course even that is not the root cause of our woes, which is separation to the the quality of our own love. In true love, there is connection not just to oneself but to every other human being, and yet such connection does not stop there. There is connection to nature, to the universe at large, a sense of belonging so universal that one cannot help but be full of life. In such connection, brotherhood, or the ability to work together becomes not the highest ideal, but rather the most basic platform from which all else takes off from. The fact therefore that we cannot work together as a humanity, even in partnership, let alone a group, is indicative of just how far we have separated from and are in denial of our true nature.
Beautiful simple summary of the structure in which Serge’s teachings can be taken out and lived.
We must never discount the fact that that the quality of the details in the micro formulates and constructs the foundations of the macro.
Regardless of whether or not you agree with the religious or philosophical standing of Universal Medicine, what you cannot deny is that this organisation has had a huge effect on the well being of those who align to its teachings – and that is something that should be studied.
Correct Adam Warburton and this is by far the missing ingredient in what we champion in the world today. Universal Medicine is an organisation that lives what is teaches. Its a simple as that!
Zofia with the facts of devastation, issues and problems covering most news inclines you would think that we as a society would be crying out for a simple answer to the problems? I thought we were but when it comes down to it at the start I was also fighting the simple. What Serge presents is simply, it’s available to all and it comes down to a quality in how we live. I have no doubt so many of the newspaper articles would not be a reality if we started to live in a way that was truly caring and deeply honouring of our truth.
The first time I heard Serge Benhayon speak I was blown away by his common sense approach, everything he said made sense. Since then I have heard Serge Benhayon shed light on many a dark situation by his amazing ability to see what is truly going on. What I am also so deeply inspired by is Serge Benhayon’s ability to never judge, he sees straight through the unloving ways of humanity and simply never judges, this is quite incredible and cements my knowing that Serge Benhayon is the best role model- ever!
It is so easy for us to get sucked into believing that we are the innocent victims of the greed and corruption that is so evident and rapidly increasing daily throughout our world. We are ALL an integral part of the whole and everything we think, say and do MATTERS. We can and DO make a difference – it is our Responsibility to make choices based on LOVE for one and all.
There’s no such thing as an ‘innocent victim’ because on some level we all know what’s going on. Now most of us choose to turn a blind eye to most things most of the time but that doesn’t make us innocent victims, it makes us calculating and irresponsible. Even those who seem to get genuinely duped have set something up further back down the track because everything is encased with the one energetic world of energy and so there is a reason and a cause behind or in front of everything.
There is such simplicity in what has been shared by Serge Benhayon about the micro to the macro. How can we look at the big picture and even begin to understand the enormity until we first stop to observe our own lives and the levels or responsibility we are willing to observe and possibly change?
When we look at the big picture of the appalling heath statistics it can be easy to put it out there and lack responsibility but when we all take personal responsibility for our health and lifestyle choices we can all transform our health and this has a snow ball effect on everyone around us from our families, work colleagues and out in to the community and eventuality the whole of humanity.
Corruption and greed is rife, in businesses, government sectors etc, and it is in a global wide scale. So, if we want to put a stop to this, I agree Zofia, we first have to look at how corruption operates on a micro level, as in start looking at where it might exist in our own homes, our own lives on a daily basis and expose the tiniest and most subtle forms of corruption and embrace absolute truth before we are able to contribute to a true shift in breaking down larger scale corruption.
Better to shoot the messenger than heed the warning and be woken up from our slumber.
I think a lot more people would like to be as open as Serge is about what he feels is the truth. So often we can feel that something isn’t right but we do not care to voice it out and as time passes we wish we would.
Serge presents to raise awareness. I often find reporters not reporting but writing in a way to incite and emotion in the reader or in a way that feels like gossip. The Truth cannot be presented via gossip and emotion. The facts laid bare speak for themselves, but only when reported with clarity.
Raising awareness is one thing but to live in absolute truth and will complete commitment and responsibility is far from our current way of living world- wide and hence why Serge Benhayon continues to bring this understanding in the most simplest form.
” By simply presenting that the micro (ie., personal or human level) must first be examined before then being able to respond on the macro/world scale is obvious economics, and it makes responsible sense to me to consider myself first before another”. I so agree, the teaching here is really about getting our own house in order before we try and sort out another person or another country etc.
What a shame that newspapers like the Sydney Morning Herald latch on to sensation, yet my experience of Serge Benhayon over 4 years has been one of a man presenting in a very down to earth way on a vast array of topics, all delivered with wisdom and common sense. Listening to this is such a stark contrast to the litany of tittle tattle and plain garbage that passes for mainstream news these days. The media wields huge power, it is time it was used more responsibly and with real honesty. Tell it like it is, not what sells.
Changing the world starts first with one (ourselves) from there the ripple effect takes over.
This blog shed a light on what true responsibility is in the media, and how it is expressed by Serge Benhayon without being a journalist or anything alike. It is beautiful to read such clear words. This shows me that Zofia is also aligned to what is true and is not afraid to say so and live it. It is our livingness that provides the truth to humanity, no images, sounds, or ideas.. And is truth exposed.
Imagine this. Love yourself enough to look after yourself in every way possible. You go to bed early, eat properly, take care of yourself. As a result you can work harder, contribute more, are less of a hindrance to the medical system etc. Now imagine a whole world living like that. Would have no need for a medical system? Don’t be silly, but the billions that would be saved could go towards so much more. All of us affect the greater whole.
Thank you Zofia. Your blog reminded me of how easy it is to focus on the world problems and issues but forgetting to look at what is truly going on in our life, in our homes and at our workplaces. I realise I was doing this myself, avoiding taking responsibility by placing my focus on other/outer issues, now I choose differently. Instead if we all place our focus on bringing integrity, truth, love and harmony to all areas of our life on a (micro level), our world problems will simply not exist and things will shift without any trying or big dramas.
Responsibility and integrity on an individual level, would remedy the majority of the worlds problems
Well said Zofia. Serge Benhayon supported me to see that the world made sense. This was huge as prior to this I found so much of life overwhelming and untrue. I simply could not make sense of the way the world worked or the way I operated. Serge’s answers to life’s questions are simple and profound. This gift of understanding is something I am eternally grateful for.
The more people choose to take personal responsibility for how they are living their lives and thus transforming their health and wellbeing the more impact there will be on world economics. Amazing that the presentations on this very pertinent point by Serge Benhayon have been so derided in the press when humanity is calling out for answers to the current plight of humanity and continues to do so years after this insightful blog was written.
This highlights to me a similar way in how we treat illness and disease, we tend to focus on the symptoms and covering them up but often not willing to go deeper to the root cause. If we heal the root cause of our issues, problems, crisis, illness or disease our symptoms will not exist. It seems to come back to us individually taking responsibility for all our choices, how we choose to live and work. Our world economics, financial crisis, etc. are a reflection of our way of living and our choices collectively.
If we consider the macro world first it’s easy to blame and feel that we are powerless to change things. When we look at and hold ourselves accountable first and then look at what’s going on globally we can see how we all have a part to play.
Well said Helen. In my experience focussing on the macro world can often be the perfect excuse or distraction for not looking at what part we have also played in contributing to the world the way it is today.
I often think of life as one big jigsaw puzzle, regardless of which piece we are, each and every one of us is needed to make up the big picture, no piece can stay lost under the sofa without effecting every other piece of the whole.
“By simply presenting that the micro (ie., personal or human level) must first be examined before being able to respond to the macro/world scale is obvious economics”. Very true, Zofia and this, if they were willing to give a true account is, what the media are in a position to present to the public.
I have only ever experienced Serge present to raise awareness and expose the truth about the world we live in – strangely ironic in a way considering the articles of late on Universal Medicine… for he’s doing what I thought the media was meant to do.
Yep, self love is not narcissistic at all when one considers how it enables one to leave less of an imposition upon society – less imposition upon the health system, less imposition by way of absenteeism at work, etc etc.
“Through listening to Serge speak via audios and courses, it is clear that he seeks only to serve in raising the awareness and reality (truth) of what is really going on in regards to the above worldly dilemmas which impact us on a daily basis.” I agree 100% Zofia – and taking care of ourselves first is paramount. How else can we support others in truth?
Thank you again Zofia. Responsibility is definitely the key here.
The business world is a murky sea of corruption and self-imposed greed that is painted to look smart and professional behind the armour of suits and ties. There is far more going on behind the scenes than we tend to see and it is super refreshing to feel the power that Serge Benhayon reflects to the business world and what it truly can be like when it is made about love and people.
What I have taken from your blog Zofia is that true change for the world starts with me, and communicating this with others must come from how I live.
Yes!
You can’t change the world until you change yourself to be able to change the world and act from true good. Not just the good that helps cover our own unresolved issues.
A man can say lets go out and stop war and create peace. There is nothing wrong with this however if the man has unresolved issues with war he too can fall short of the true task of ending war which isn’t only stopping the bullets but creating harmony between nations and people.
Peace is momentary
Harmony is eternal
Zofia, I really like the reflection you bring to the effects of the state of businesses and economic systems upon people’s health and wellbeing – this is an angle I have never seen reported in the press and which would be totally refreshing to see such truth represented and responsible journalism coming to the fore.
As the macro impacts on the micro so does the reverse. Universal Medicine teaches that we are far from insignificant, that all of us have a voice, all of us can make loving choices that bring forth ripple effects on all those around us. The world economy is the result of a multitude of small scale choices that started at the individual level.
Beautifully expressed Zofia, thanks for sharing this simple yet power-full article.
I totally agree and would like to add that it is the quality in which we live and carry out everything we do that makes the difference, the quality of our relationships and the products that we create.
Very well expressed Zofia! Thank you for speaking up the truth!
Collective phenomena are always the result of aggregating events occurring at the micro level. That is why the micro level is so important.
We tend to look to the macro side of things and to think of it as something that stands on its own. the truth is that it does not and that each of us bears responsibility for it. So, how we live, what we choose is always crucial and not just for us.
You make a great point here Zofia, the financial and political (or any) sector of the lives we live can never be truly helpful for all if we do not first have the foundation of true self care, integrity and self responsibility. Any way that we are in our own lives will always impact the way we are in our professional lives. It’s a no-brainer.
We all know how crazy this world is, and when I first heard that it was because of energy as Serge has presented many many times everything started to not be so crazy, but clear as to why the world is the way that it is.
I love this article, showing the truly fractal nature of life and our relationship with the bigger economic picture. ‘Everything is everything’, as Serge Benhayon presents, so it’s not at all surprising that how we’re living on a daily basis is being reflected across the whole of our world economy. It starts with responsibility for ourselves, operating with truth and integrity, consistency, equalness and quality in all our choices. When that becomes contagious, the world is ready to change.
Definitely a common sense article that reflects the truth of what Serge Benhayon presents. Here is a man who is paving the way for so many revealing the truth of how we live, how our choices have an impact and that to have a true effect on humanity we must begin by looking at the way we ourselves choose to live with self-love and responsibility or not.
Well said Jade, our choices are everything.
Great connection you have made between peoples livingness and the worlds economic situation. The more people exposed to the Ancient Wisdom the better shape the world would be in.
Great article Zofia. Common sense that rarely makes it to the news.
Totally agree Rebecca – common sense has no sensationalism with in it.
Thank you Zofia for sharing such insight, I know personally that since attending Universal medicine work shops and utilizing Universal Medicine modalities and taking responsibility for my choices and the way I live , my work practices have changed very much for the better , I now enjoy work and my work relationships enjoy me.
Thanks for your blog Zofia. Serge Benhayon “..speaks for the purpose of truth and raising awareness”, and it is up to the individuals themselves to take responsibility for the choices they make, and these will be reflected to, and felt by, those around them.
Yes Zofia I have come to understand the impact that one ethical, responsible and caring person can have on their surroundings. Their reflection touches many in unseen but very real ways. We are the micro elements that may one day affect the macro.
I agree Zofia, it make absolute sense that we need to be responsible and accountable in our personal lives first. This will then be reflected out and magnified in our work and all the people we interact with.
It seems responsibility for our choices and actions is too much for many. As irresponsibility is allowed to flourish and actually championed nothing changes in the lives of those who are stressed, unwell and unhappy nor for those who thrive at the expense of others. What Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine offer makes perfect sense as you say, however has been derided publicly because it challenges those who live irresponsibly and exposes what is really at play.
Thank you Penny. I feel this is absolutely true.
Your comment is complete and something I was feeling to write myself Penny. It is the slumbering beast of irresponsibility that does not like to be awakened that rises up and tries to silence the awakener so that it can return to its comfortable slumbers. It is at times searingly uncomfortable to be awakened but there is no other way out of our individual and collective mess – for we must evolve.
‘It is the slumbering beast of irresponsibility that does not like to be awakened that rises up and tries to silence the awakener so that it can return to its comfortable slumbers.’ Well expressed Josephine demonstrating the responsibility we all have to awaken ourselves to our own irresponsibility but also challenge it wherever we find it.
It always seems that to change the world is far too big a task, but when we remember the world is just made up of lots of individuals it makes sense that if we choose to take responsibility and change our lives, together we can change the world and indeed we will. Thanks for your article Zofia.
Exactly Tim, bite sized pieces is the way to go. Person by person, Choice by choice. And we will get it done, we really will.
Thank you Zofia for reiterating the fact that change occurs first at the micro level before moving on to the macro level.
Patricia I also feel that the macro contributes to the change of the micro and vice versa.
It is crazy to know that the world economics and finance sector are in a mess and to not consider the impact on the people working in that field. Serge Benhayon’s simple and practical approach of starting with caring for and taking responsibility for ourselves allows individual changes to occur that ripple out to affect the whole.
And this is where the healing of humanity begins, within.
Powerful article Zofia – one that captures the essence of what Serge Benhayon presents in relation to world events and the dilemmas surrounding them, not to mention their underlying cause and the effect they are having on humanity. One of the beautiful things about Serge’s teachings and presentations is that they make total sense and when lived and applied in day to day life have true benefit for the all.
When did the media decide that “shedding invaluable light on this ‘illness’ we have in society, at work and in our physical bodies” became such a controversial thing to do? Maybe when we see an international group of people from all walks of life making long lasting transformations in their lives and living with joy! Is that because it is an unusual thing to witness in our society.
Well put Nicole! You’re on the money with that one. Society is scared of the unknown, we don’t like our comforts being exposed and so we try to shut it down. But when we observe those making changes to how they choose to live each and everyday and we witness the amazing results, we then have an opportunity to realise that perhaps it’s not that big a deal, and a pretty worthwhile thing to consider.
Well said Zofia, you make it clear how simple and only sensible it is to consider the possibility that all our ‘small choices’ have an impact and role to play in the situations we see around us everyday. Really how could it be any other way?
I agree Zofia – that Serge Benhayon is raising awareness to the truth of what is going on. If that is all that is presented, why the campaign to bring him and Universal Medicine down? Truth can be a challenging thing to face and how we approach this can indicate how we deal with truth in our own lives.
Great blog Zofia.
These words from Nicola made me also ponder:
“It is a great point you make Zofia how Serge Benhayon only speaks for the purpose of truth and raising awareness. It made me wonder about all the other reasons that people speak and why so many people speak for harmful reasons and why we encourage them by listening?”
Way too often I find myself listening to something that does not resonate well in my body.
You’re spot on Shelley. It’s getting clearer when people do speak for harmful reasons, it is really standing out. It is also becoming clearer and easier to respond with truth. Not needing to be polite at the expense of our own intuitive senses that know so much more than self serving manipulations.
It’s so interesting reading this now as just before reading this a colleague and I were having a conversation about the focus often being on performance and targets at work and how we try to keep up and overcompensate and even that we are trying to hold up an image of we can do it. Your last line is the poignant point we left out in weighing up what’s more important and looking at the poor quality of service we are providing when we are depleted. Serge Benhayon continually presents that in order to be of true service to another, we must know how to care for ourselves first and speaks of practical ways that he does this. Before Universal Medicine I’d heard of this but had never met people who actually lived it.
I was just talking to someone about stress levels at work and that they have to do a presentation about performance and targets and were getting stressed worrying about the presentation. They also happened to mention that they have a rash which, they have made the connection, gets more itchy when they are worrying and stressed.
Well said, Zofia. This is really great summing up what is really going on globally and connecting that to an individual level. I am with you 100%!
Thank you Zofia for your blog , when I take responsibility for my day to day choices, as every moment is a choice, I feel empowerment to live the love I innately am.
Responsibility…my new favourite word! Who would have thought that responsibility could bring such consistent joy to my life?
Thank you Serge, and thank you Zofia for sharing!
If big business and business in general had access to the teachings of Universal Medicine and cared to put them to test to find out what the change to their economy might be ,they may be pleasantly surprised. Serge Benhayon is a true example of the integrity we all need to have in every part of our lives. Thank you Zofia for your thought provoking blog.
It is difficult to find true fault with the teachings of Universal Medicine, for as a college of mine once said to me about the way I live my life; “you are different, no doubt about it, but different in a good way. I think what it is about you is that you make the choices in life that we all wish we could make.”
And there is the simplicity of the teachings of Universal Medicine. It calls us to take responsibility for our own lives, but in a way that can only benefit the rest of society. It is this call for responsibility that the critics of Universal Medicine take particular issue with, for Universal Medicine leaves no stones unturned when it comes to calling out the irresponsibility with the way we live life as human beings – both as a society and individually, and for some, that is too much to bear.
Thank you Zofia and Adam, I also proclaim there is a different way to the way I used to feel about and perform in work and with others. The responsibility and integrity that is now my new benchmark, to walk and talk the truth, has been inspired by the presentations of Serge Benhayon
I agree with you Adam, the way the students of the livingness live their lives is from a simple philosophy not always is it so easy to make that choice but it is certainly better than blaming others all the time for things going wrong in my life – taking responsibility it is the only way.
Absolutely Adam, it is that calling that is a deep known we are here to support and serve with all others and Universal Medicine has quite simply shown us the Way…
And will continue to do so!
Great comment Adam and very true. Universal Medicine upholds the highest integrity I have ever come across. When you choose to the learn and study with Universal Medicine it calls forth in you the highest of integrity and fosters and builds that. Truth in action and you then begin to live with that integrity everyday. Not perfectly but you know when what you are choosing is not in align with the integrity you have chosen to live.
The more we speak up as you have done in this letter and expose the lies that others are sharing with the world, the more those in this world will have the opportunity to really in truth choose how they want to live. I so love that together we are presenting the truth about Serge Benhayon for all to hear.
Cool Zofia, my feeling is if people presented the way Serge Benhayon does in newspapers, on the news, radio and everywhere so people would get the chance to hear and feel what you have heard from Serge, possibly the world would start to change from this craziness we are living in now…
It is a great point you make Zofia how Serge Benhayon only speaks for the purpose of truth and raising awareness. It made me wonder about all the other reasons that people speak and why so many people speak for harmful reasons and why we encourage them by listening?
This is a great point Nicola, how many journalists and articles in newspapers are purely about raising awareness and presenting truth? We all know that we have something far less than that but have we considered what the effects of that are on our society?
Great point Laura. Really where are our journalists? How often do we actually read summoning of truth and value – as opposed to something that is just there to sell newspapers by causing as much hysteria as possible?
I guess most people love a drama and want some stimulation when picking up the newspaper. It’s time we all demand truth and value from journalists… what we are currently getting has a far ranging negative ripple effect on life, society and people.
It’s very important to discern the intent behind what is presented, I agree with you Nicola, Serge presents for the purpose of serving humanity.
Very well said, Zofia:
What Serge presents, backed up by how he lives, is the antidote to the corruption and turmoil that you see in the financial industry every day: if people were open and honest about, and took responsibility for, the way they were living their lives – that is, the quality in which they were spending each day – then corruption would be able to be spotted from a mile off, and the economy would not come crashing to a halt when the corruption and debt all surfaces too late.
I agree Conor. And to add to that, the greed, and that drives many. This causes so much hurt and pain to others – if they could but open their hearts to feel the impact of their actions they may also change their behaviour.
Although it is so obviously the truth, only few live according to this simple principle. How huge is the role of the few in society, who do live with this responsibility. They set up the space for all to step up, too.
Well said Felix. It is important for us who are aware of this to step up and not hold back any longer.
Thanks Zofia, and yes as the world keeps trying to solve its immense problems, nothing will truly work until each person stops to take stock of how they are in the world, seeks to heal the hurts and protection they operate from, and starts to consider how to be in the world that supports themselves and all others equally.
Is it possible that if we were all made accountable for our Livingness and started by making more loving choices, the reflection on the outer world would indeed manifest this back to us, and true harmony would follow?
We are made accountable for our livingness, Life doesn’t let us get away with anything. Sure on a temporal level we might think that we’ve got away with something but reincarnation combined with the law of cause and effect means that we never have. Life is always looking to balance us out and bring us back to the truth of who we all are.
It would appear that 2 and a half years later the news has changed little. I feel that also reflects how many are prepared to live. We are loath to change because we do not see change. In stead we should be the change that inspires others to change. I too have had the opportunity to hear many of Serge’s presentations and what is presented could be inspiration for many.
‘We are loath to change because we do not see change. In stead we should be the change that inspires others to change.’
I love what you are saying here Mick. It shows our lifelong dilemma to want the world to change before we are willing to change. But how can the world change if we, who make up the world we live in, are not willing to change, and start with us?
A self created vicious circle that continues to spin its clockwise motion until we are prepared to stop and change the course of things by looking at us first and make more responsible choices.
Yes Esther I loved what Mick stated here as well…..and there has been lots of attempts at ‘change’ but none that really work and I think people deep down know that and therefore the cloak of ‘its just the way life is’ gets heavier and heavier……It is not until Serge Benhayon has come along and shown that there is another way – one of true and lasting change – that people are going – thank you. And that is evidenced by the thousands of students who are living much more engaged, joyfull lives.
‘Someone else’ll do it”, that’s our modern day mantra.
Great perspective Zofia on our economics and far more insightful than any newspaper.
Yes I agree and this is awesome…”By simply presenting that the micro (ie., personal or human level) must first be examined before then being able to respond on the macro/world scale is obvious economics, and it makes responsible sense to me to consider myself first before another.”
Yes, this micro examination would mean that a journalist who writes for a tabloid or a near-tabloid (the SMH website has strong tabloid characteristics, the paper version slightly less so) would have to become more aware of what they are doing every day and probably then resign immediately. Most people in such a position prefer to keep their job and don’t examine themselves, in many cases regardless of the long term consequences.
Imagine if articles like this were what made up our newspapers – articles that asked what was truly going on. Now ‘that’ would be newsworthy!
It is absurd to attack a man and business that exactly offers what the world is dramatically lacking. But maybe that is one of the reasons why those are blamed and ridiculed who expose the comfortable and agreed upon lies so that nothing needs to change although we continue suffering by it.
So true Alex, but it is not uncommon for people and corporations to deny the truth and shirk their responsibilities to themselves, their staff, humanity and the Earth. Some will defend their lies to the bitter end to save face. It is wonderful that Serge Benhayon role models a life for of integrity, love and equality for all those who choose another way to live.
One of the big problems I see in the world is that we are always looking to blame the system. Yes, many systems are inadequate and certainly lacking in the integrity we know we are capable of. Yet while we look outside for someone else to blame we take no responsibility for our contribution to the system.
Zofia you have raised a great topic. We will come to realize in time that the macro is a reflection of the micro. In the same way that we will accept that illness and disease is a reflection of what’s going on in the inside so will we know that you can’t have true world peace if you still have domestic violence and you can’t have world leaders working in true harmony if you still have people not being able to get on in the workplace. The outer is because of the inner, all-ways
Zofia thanks for your amazing blog – Yes Serge Benhayon is living indeed with the utmost integrity and that is what I love most and what I was looking for because most of the world (e.g. the press) is living the opposite
Yes agree Estera, Serge Benhayon lives with more integrity than anyone i know. The love that is felt is incomparable to anything I have known before, his capacity for understanding and acceptance is truly amazing.
Thank you Zofia it’s everyone’s personal responsibility that makes changes to any situation, economy, society etc. As these things are first and foremost made up from individuals, people.
Serge Behayon teaches a level of responsibility second to none that starts with simply beginning to make choices that support one, that then has a ripple effect to all other people around them.
Thank you Zofia. The state of financial economics is quite relative to health economics isn’t it.. Taking care of our own individual health and well being naturally flows into our financial economic balance (bank balance and superannuation). The state of global economics (ie, recent Global Financial Crisis) is actually quite a reflection of the state of global health (increasing illness and disease rates), so it makes great sense to take care and take responsibility of our own health.
You make an important point that “By simply presenting that the micro (ie., personal or human level) must first be examined before then being able to respond on the macro/world scale is obvious economics…” If for example, the Greedy Chiefs mentioned in your article lived the way of the livingness instead of the way of the Greedy then we could expect huge improvement for all at a grassroots level in the financial world. The way the Chiefs choose to live their personal lives will be our markers for change or no change.
I really agree Zofia, all Serge Benhayon is doing is courageously raising awareness about what is happening in the world and then people are automatically saying no, this is not right, there must be a better way. I feel for me this is a natural conclusion to come to when awareness is raised. Thanks goodness there are people like Serge around, who speak up for truth because of the love of their fellow men.
Thank you Zofia. Serge Benhayon speaks the truth of what is happening in the world we live in. He inspires others by the way he lives to make our everyday living about love, truth and serving others.
Zofia, you mention the impact global economic affairs have on us in the workforce and beyond. You reference here is related to everything we do when we are not responsible in the way we speak to each other, clean up after ourselves, follow through on our promises. Everything matters and thank you for your simply and powerful expression!
Speaking of the micro, before sense (let-a-lone change) can be found in the macro, is essentially asking for responsibility to be taken. Thus, such is the importance that we each in the world understand how the quality of how we live, affects everything and everyone.
What you say is so true Zofia. In the economics of life if the macro consists of all the microscopic particles joined together then it makes sense that if the micro take better care of themselves, are more responsible and conduct themselves with absolute integrity, then their contribution to the macro will reflect and inspire this level of care, responsibility and integrity to all. It is true, we are all individuals who contribute and are connected to the whole.
Thanks Sofia for pointing out that yes the world is in a financial mess due to greed. How do we change it ?
“By simply presenting that the micro must be examined before then being able to respond on the macro/world scale is obvious economics”- Totally agree – how much disregard do we allow our lives to be in before we are “bankrupt”- reach a crisis point in our lives or health, instead of preventative medicine- beginning with self care, self love and self nurturing.
Indeed society would be a different place to live in.
Zofia you have said ‘By simply presenting that the micro (ie., personal or human level) must first be examined before then being able to respond on the macro/world scale is obvious economics’
Isn’t this so simply true. To the point that….if we all started with the ‘micro’ first the world would be a very different place to live in. Thank you Zofia and Thank You Serge Benhayon for your wisdom.
I remember at school the teachers always saying, “don’t worry about what their doing over there, you concentrate on what your doing right now”
Never liked hearing it but it’s oh so true
Thank you Zofia, your article certainly opened up a topic often ignored. What we do as individuals DOES affect the world, and what a responsibility we hold in that.
Much appreciated.
I love what you have written here “By simply presenting that the micro (ie., personal or human level) must first be examined before then being able to respond on the macro/world scale is obvious economics, and it makes responsible sense to me to consider myself first before another.” It does make obvious sense however when presented with this concept, so many people feel that to consider oneself first is a selfish thing and it is such a foreign feeling. Yet I can say that by considering myself first I am now a much more reliable, consistent, loving, committed person to all that I have relationships with.
The detail you pick up on when you read people’s article (and I would imagine CV’s) is impressive. It must be interesting working in recruitment.
Straight to the point Zofia and so true, “I have found in Serge Benhayon someone who is able to talk intelligently, shedding invaluable light on this ‘illness’ we have in society, at work and in our physical bodies.” No one I have ever met has highlighted what is truly going on so clearly as Serge Benhayon consistently and continues to do so.
Well said Zofia,
How I regard and treat myself, is how others will regard and treat me.
This has been an illuminating lesson, taught me by Serge Benhayon, it has enabled me to take responsibility for my life, stop blaming others and become aware of a what I am communicating, whether it is verbally or, signals from my body.
That is so true, Zofia. Unless we all take responsibility for the way we live, our health, our integrity & our relationships with all others, nothing will change for the better. This is the wisdom that Serge Benhayon presents.
We’re blinkered by our own behaviours. Behaviours that we’ve chosen for lifetime after lifetime and behaviours that keep us coming back for more of the same. The only way out of our behaviours is to choose ourselves out one loving choice at a time.
I agree Zofia, Serge’s presentation are all about raising our awareness of ourselves and the world around us and exposing the rot that we have allowed to become normalised within and around us. His integrity is second to none and his service to humanity is awe-inspiring. It is a shame that the SMH doesn’t feel that that is a sensational enough story to sell papers and so chooses to bastardise the truth instead for the detriment of all.
Thank you Zofia. You are right, sickness is shown in many ways, from the personal right through to the health of our economies, politics, media etc.
It is great what you have expressed here Amina, and so true, we need to look at how WE are living first instead of pointing fingers and blame at others first.
So true what you say Amina and Vicky, how can we address the world if we are not prepared to look after ourselves first? – “it makes responsible sense to me to consider myself first before another”. I am sure many people would see that as being selfish, after all, are we not taught to put others first – have we been spun an illusion?
To me self love IS responsibility, and how can that be selfish, as this then affects everyone.
It is true that the world is sick in more ways than 1. We’re finding solutions for the obvious – human illness and disease – what what about the health of our economy, the health of politics, the health of media? There is a lot to consider here – and whilst we’re happy to turn a blind eye – it is people like Serge Benhayon who are talking about this – who are making us aware that it is everyone’s responsibility.
I agree, I have attended courses with Serge Benhayon for a number of years and he has consistently acted with deep integrity and professionalism. His courses are engaging, inspiring and supportive and he will ask “what if?” There is no pressure to agree, but it is suggested that we feel for ourselves what the truth is – very simple and deeply empowering. There is a stark difference between what I have read and heard from Serge Benhayon and what lazy journalists pull together in search of a quick sensational story.
It’s all the micro’s that make the macro so why would us as individuals not be important to pay attention to?
I agree Leigh, maybe most of the population is stuck in the belief that we are all separate, even though science is starting to prove that this is not the case. Maybe society feels insignificant and they feel that what they do won’t make a difference. Well, we know that not to be true, together we CAN make a difference, like you say the micro’s make the macro, literally!
Science = Religion = Science.
This blog makes sense and is very relevant to the way in which we live. Looking at the micro level first as it ripples out on to the macro anyway feels very important to bring about real change in our world.
Serge’s clarity has often provided great insight not just into the world of human health, but as Zofia points out he also has much to share about other arenas of life – the economic problems suffered in 2012 being another example.
The reason he can do this is that he truly understands people, the way that they live, and he is fully engaged with the world. That is all you need to understand what is going on and be able to see what is truly going on.
Zofia, well said and this should be written about and shared with the world. The world already has a platform of sharing information so instead of lies and un-truths being told it could be used to help us all see the importance of the micro and macro, and learning that to take care of the micro will help take care of the macro. We know the problems presented by Serge Benhayon help us, and they have certainly helped me and and many people I know, to connect to the answers we all feel and know inside.
Yes I also loved the micro – macro theme in this blog. Scientifically this can be applied to everything. Our bodies are made up of particles which form cells which form organs which form the body. Then our bodies can congregate together and many human bodies moving or thinking or expressing in the same way cause the trends and problems and society that we all get to live in and experience. So the macro is built on and consists of the micro. So why not as Serge presents pay more attention to the micro which is that everything is energy and our particles are continually responding to energy on this level? If we all took more care and had more awareness of what is actually occurring energetically then the world on a macro scale would look very different.
I was always wanting to be a part of fixing problems in the world. I had not considered how I was looking after myself and it’s importance until I started listening to the presentations of Serge Benhayon.
Beautifully and clearly put, Ruth, trying to fix things outside of us just takes us away from what really needs to be dealt with in ourselves. It is such a good excuse to avoid taking responsibility for the way we choose to live.
More often than not we are so impatient to get to the macro that we leave the micro behind and then wonder why the macro doesn’t work. It is vital to work on the micro every nano second that we can.
So true Elaine, and I feel that is just why many businesses eventually fail, having a great idea, going for the ideal, growing bigger and bigger very quickly, impatient to achieve their goal without establishing proper foundations, and then finding that they are empty inside and cannot support the edifice they have constructed. It is so obvious the relationship between microcosm and macrocosm, and Serge Benhayon presents a way to live the micro within the macro that undeniably works.
Yes so true Elaine and Joan – foundations, very important, why not start building businesses on a foundation of love, putting people before profits, and taking away the agenda to achieve more, more, more. What Serge Benhayon has presented DOES undeniably work, he has shown that in the way Universal Medicine has grown.
‘Nano nano’ to that!
(Mork and Mindy, just in case you were wondering)…
I love the micro and macro metaphor, very true. Serge suggests to care for ourselves and then support the bigger picture, of course. It make good common sense. Thank you.
Great article Zofia. Makes total sense that the way we live our lives impacts the bigger economic picture. Our personal ills, and deceits are reflected in society’s. And how, when we take personal responsibility of making more caring, loving choices, our societies will emanate this.
If I want to see an economy based on integrity and respect for all this starts with my quality at work and home. It’s about me working with integrity and not me in survival mode doing whatever it takes to survive,
Your article Zofia has led me to realise that I was totally bankrupt – energy and love and nurturing of me at an all time low. Goodness only knows what effect that was having on others as I continued daily to plough my ‘martyred to the business’ furrow.
Fortunately through my body ‘filing for bankruptcy’ and refusing to trade further, I came to hear of Universal Medicine. The directorship I now hold is of me and my body, a life long position with multiple opportunities for dividends. There only ever seems to be one real question on my board meeting agenda, how much am I willing to allow me to be the love that I am from?
What a great comment Kathy – I love it! I’d like to be at your meeting 😉
Love it Kathie.. very apt
Kathie, I love your humorous slant on this subject, great! Let’s hope your new agenda provides dividends and your “body bank” becomes full with the prophet (pun intended) of love!
I have observed that there’s a lot of people looking to solve the major world problems without first looking at the key individual level that is actually making them happen. Looking at the micro before the macro? Makes sense to me too, Zofia. Thanks for sharing.
A great point Cheryl and one I agree with, what if we actually started to look at the macro?
Thanks Zofia. I realise this blog was written some time ago but it is just as valid today, the world is still in a mess, the world economies may appear better but are they really? And Serge Benhayon tirelessly goes on presenting the truth in a selfless way.
Well noted Kevin and very true.
It’s just greed, pure and simple Mary. I feel maybe to compensate for the lack of love in their lives. It’s incredible what you have stated above, how can we let this happen? I am sure the NHS could do with an extra £24,000 times every time a patient walks through the door on a daily basis! Just greed.
And I agree Kevin, the world IS in a dreadful mess, this is just reflecting that we as a human race are in a dreadful mess too, I suppose that makes sense really. The world is just one giant mirror, and should we choose to look at the reflection and take responsibility then we can start to heal this mess.
Thank you Zofia, very clearly put. Especially the importance of considering ourselves before another. Great to reflect on.
Thank you Zofia. It does make so much sense that we need to address things on a human level first before being able to respond on the macro/ world scale.
Fiona and David, aren’t these comments amazing, reading through them I am impressed that we are ALL saying the same thing, expressed in different ways, so there’s the proof, it MUST be true. Fabulous!
Thank you Zofia, you express very clearly and directly the importance of what Serge Benhayon is presenting to us all. It is hardly controversial to state that our current approach to health and wellbeing is way off track and in need of a new approach. Getting our own house in order first so to speaks seem a pretty common sense move to improve the state of our health and economic well-ness.
Thank you Zofia for so succinctly expressing the depth of what Serge Benhayon has to offer in presenting that we need to take personal responsibility for how we live and this will then have a ripple effect out to the whole of humanity.
Very true Helen.
It just goes to show that the dis-ease that is exploding across the health sector is not confined. On the contrary it is a natural extension that if people are themselves ‘out of sorts’ and not living true that the wider economy is such a mess.
You’ve got a very good point there Simon, it brings home the fact that love starts with self love first. Is society then putting the cart before the horse, blaming everyone but themselves and burying their heads in the sand hoping that it will all go away. We know the truth, the economy won’t change until we change, from the inside. Only THEN will it be lasting.
Zofia, I love how you have brought what is going on in the corporate world, especially in the finance sector, the greed and corruption and how this has a knock on affect in employment and ultimately our health. I too have attended Serge Benhayon’s presentations and to me it makes sense what he says, that we need to look at ourselves first, and the integrity and quality that we offer to those around us at home and at work. I love your final paragraph it sums it up beautifully.
Thank you Zofia. Short and to the point. Great.
Thank you Zofia for raising this issue, so many working days are lost due to illness, accidents and mental illness. Thanks to the many inspiring presentations of Serge Benhayon we are being offered the opportunity to explore the way we are at work, especially us women. We don’t have to be hard to be successful, we can be more gentle, more tender with ourselves. We don’t need to exhaust ourselves with stressful emotional dramas, and we don’t need sixteen cups of coffee a day – we can simply be – us, naturally. By making healthy lifestyle choices we may find that we have far more energy to do a productive day’s work every day without exception.
Interesting point you’ve brought up Zofia – that healing is needed throughout many different areas and professions in our lives. There is a general attitude that only those with cancers and other terminal illnesses or some obvious ailments (broken leg, skin growth, injured head…) need healing. In case of cancers and disease that apparently ‘appear out of nowhere’ (which we know not to be the case) we wait until it is ‘broken to fix it’. How about we break it down, examine all aspects of it and see what needs addressing before it is broken and needs fixing. It would save us money, energy and lives – now wouldn’t that be good economy!
That’s a great point Dragana, why do we wait for something to go wrong or breakdown before we take any notice? As the saying goes, ‘prevention is better than the cure’. How much money would the NHS save?!!!
Tim so true, how it’s become so normal for us to wait for something to go wrong before we even consider looking after ourselves. How different society would be if we were all encouraged to look at self care, to support our selves, how much money government would save. In today’s society we are in the momentum of pushing ourselves until we break, something happens that forces us to stop, how crazy this is?
I agree Tim and Dragana, ‘why do we wait for something to go wrong or breakdown before we take any notice?’ and then when we take notice and recover from what was ailing us why do we then return back to the way of living and doing the same things which contributed to the illness in the 1st instance?’ Yes I agree ‘prevention is better than cure’ what it means is people needing to take responsibility for their actions and their lives, rather than people continuing on mistreating their bodies and others and then wanting a magic fix all pill.
That would be an amazing economy indeed, Dragana, no more struggle.
And I agree, why wait until we are on our knees before addressing what is really going on, by healing ourselves first we can then heal all areas of life.
Absolutely and this counts for any area of human life. The world does not only need solutions for illness and disease, we need healing for all our ills that prevent us from living in harmony and equality. That is what Universal Medicine is offering: how to heal understanding the bigger picture and this starts with ourselves.
This I feel is so true Rachel – to look firstly in our own backyard so to speak to assess where each one of us may be in dis-array, dis-harmony, perhaps looking at how each of us on earth treat ourselves first, is it with love and tenderness knowing that we have the responsibility of firstly healing ourselves then the possibility is there that the world, businesses, government departments etc. would receive that reflection. I remember hearing once long long ago when we point the finger at someone in blame or judgment there are three fingers pointing back at us as we do that.
Simply expressed Zofia, thank you. To me this confirms a simple approach of how illness and disease ‘can’ be approached, and how this process ‘can’ become less mystified and complicated by simply being prepared to be honest, and to begin taking individual responsibility for the way we are living.
