Healing Reincarnation

Reincarnation, Karma and One Extraordinary Gift

September 28, 2016
Valerie Hogarth

Approximately half of those living throughout the world take the understanding of re-incarnation for granted. The idea that we do not end when our current life finishes, but instead pass on into another body, is in no way new. Such a view is core to both Hinduism and Buddhism. It is not, however, restricted to Asia. Re-incarnation was a core teaching of both Ancient Egyptian and Greek religions and philosophies. Although evident in Plato’s writings, as well as in the beliefs of earlier sects of Christianity, it is now no longer a mainstream belief in most modern Western cultures.

Instead, many choose to subscribe to the notion of ascending into some permanent heavenly disembodied state for good deeds done, while condemning others to burn in eternal hell for mistakes made and sins committed. This induced fear attempts to guarantee safety in the afterlife by being ‘good’ as deemed by secondary, translated texts and their vocalisers. 

Serge Benhayon has reintroduced the ancient understanding of re-incarnation to a contemporary audience. This knowledge that we continue to return, as humans, to the imprints left behind, calls for a responsibility that few welcome. It looks at the broader context of humanity and the loving work that needs doing, time after time, to truly support ALL to return to the innate love and divinity that they are.

This philosophy inspires a deep, universal responsibility, which ignites a commitment to people and a consistent loving expression to the very end. Serge Benhayon has supported people of all ages to connect to their essence, which transcends lifetimes, to see the larger cycles at play.

Here is one such testimony.

I’d like to tell you about my operations. ‘Good Grief!’ I hear you say, ‘Who would want to listen to an 87 year old woman talking about her operations? But stay with me. I have something amazing to share with you.

On the 9-11-1999 I was admitted to Cabrini Hospital to have a total hip replacement on my right hip. That night I had a vivid dream of a storm brewing: large, threatening, dark clouds on the horizon. It was very frightening, but then the clouds broke up and gently passed by. The operation next morning went well.

Since puberty I had suffered from attacks of SVT (Heart Palpitations) when over stressed. On the 4th day after the operation, I had a whopper of an attack. My heart beat madly out of control at 212 beats a minute with no sign of it settling down! The doctors were very concerned, but rather amazed that I was so calm. Though I felt ghastly, I remembered the dream and knew that the attack would pass; and after about 12 hours of superb nursing… it did.

At that time my general health was not OK. I was carrying more weight than I needed in all the wrong places, generally living it up in the food and alcohol department and was driving myself hard in the doing department. Recovery from the operation was long and uncomfortable, as my body reacted to the anaesthetic, antibiotics and medications, by erupting in nasty, itchy rashes, that took ages to go away. I did not feel well for a long time.

This health fright caused my husband, (who was not very well himself), and I to decide to downsize to a retirement village, where over the next 9 years, this lovely man’s health problems gradually progressed into Alzheimer’s Disease.

Religious faith had always eluded me and further explorations of other religions didn’t do anything for me either. The search for who I am, what I am and where I came from had left me bedazzled by the bells and whistles of the New Age merry go round, with the result that my own health was going downhill. The SVT attacks eventually switched to atrial fibrillation.

After about 20 years of running the New Age gauntlet, finally it began to dawn on me, that this New Age caper was just so much hogwash. For reasons which are too long and complicated to include here, at the end of November 2009, I decided to give it all away. Then, unexpectedly, for my 81st Birthday, in January 2010, a dear friend sent me Serge Benhayon’s Book 3… A Treatise on Energetic Truth titled The Way of Initiation, (The Development of Energetic Awareness). Not wishing to get involved in another spiritual book, I put it aside. By the end of January, my heart problem had surfaced again, requiring me to be hospitalised. It became apparent that I could no longer take care of my husband by myself. By March he was in a Nursing Home.

After he had settled in and I had some time to myself, I picked up the book, but was still very aware of the scars of my previous ‘spiritual’ experiences. I didn’t want to be sucked into another fruitless quest, so very cautiously I began to read it. WOW! Did that book make me sit up and take notice! It challenged me. It devastated me. It sent me into a rage of wounded pride. How could I have allowed myself to have been such an idiot? What’s more… and this was the rub… that some part of me deep down had always known I was being an idiot. Where had this information been for the last 20 years as I blundered along on the famous ‘spiritual journey’? I sent off for more of his books and immersed myself in Book 1… first published in 2006… and Book 2 then back to 3 again. I was feeling and absorbing the TRUTH of it like a dry sponge soaks up water.

At the end of July, I rang my friend saying, “I have to meet this guy. I have to look him in the eye. I have to be CERTAIN SURE that this is the truth. The last thing I want is another guru”. And so one weekend in August, I flew up to Northern NSW and attended a Saturday presentation. I came home well satisfied that this Serge Benhayon is the REAL DEAL!

Time went by and I travelled up on many occasions to attend The Livingness Workshops 1, 2, 3 & 4 and Sacred Healing Level One; loving all of it. My plan was to continue with the SH workshops, but that was not to be.

My beautiful husband passed away in October 2010. It was what they call a ‘happy release’ for both of us. We had been grieving for his loss of identity for a long time. The following year was tough as there was much to do. Also a niece was battling cancer and needed my care. My own health was somewhat fragile as well. I was very tired and finding it hard to get out of bed in the mornings. I felt I needed a break, so I booked a cruise for the end of April, 2012. I was also keen to attend the Universal Medicine Retreat at Lennox Head on the 10th of April 2012 and I had booked in for that as well.

When I went for my 6 monthly check up with my heart specialist, he advised me strongly to cancel the trips and present myself at Cabrini Hospital on April 10th to have a Pacemaker fitted. Very disappointed, I sent an e-mail to Serge apologising for not being able to attend the retreat, but explaining that I had arranged for someone (a friend of my book-sending friend) to take my place. He answered, “The Masters will be with you and you will feel them”.

In Cabrini on the first night, I slept with a heart monitor in my bed. My specialist arrived in the morning, in a flurry to bustle me off to the operating theatre. Overnight my heart had slowed down to such an extent that I was in danger of dying in my sleep!

Now. Here is the really interesting bit I want to tell you about, so stay with me.

They gave me a light anaesthetic. I was semi conscious, aware enough to sense what was going on during the operation, but not enough to feel any pain, except for a heaviness on my chest that was pretty intense. As soon as they began operating, I became aware that something amazing was happening. I was aware of a counting… 1… 2… 3… 4… steadily on and on, with a little pause between each number. I KNEW that these numbers represented past lives. Don’t ask me to explain how I knew… I just KNEW that it was so. I was also aware of how much light and how much dark was in each life. 27… 28… I was drifting along with the rhythm of the counting. 52… 54, aware of the medics working on me, with the pressure on my chest becoming more intense and uncomfortable… 89… 90… 106… 107… then the medics in a flurry… a sense of urgency… someone else called in… more pressure… almost unbearable… the counting continuing steadily. I was transfixed by the counting… I became aware that I could let go if I wanted to… I had a choice.

But I KNEW this counting was clearing the karma of past lives. I couldn’t let go of this opportunity, for I was being offered a wonderful gift… 167… 168… the crushing heaviness continued as I hung on to each number, recognising that I needed more time in this incarnation to prepare myself for the next one. At around the 180’s the pressure began to lessen and I was beginning to come around. Then the medics were calling, ” Valerie! Time to wake up now!”… 192… 193…”Wiggle your toes!”… 194… 195… “Valerie!! Wiggle your fingers!” 196… 197… then they were shouting, “VALERIE, WAKE UP!”… 198… 199… 200… I wiggled my fingers and toes.

The counting stopped while they cleaned blood and vomit out of my hair and moved me onto a gurney. It continued again as they wheeled me through the corridors to ICU. It stopped once more while they moved me onto the bed, but then continued while people bustled about. It finally ended when I vomited again, the vomit contained enough blood to concern the medical staff. The last life counted finished at around 250. The last number was ALL LIGHT!

It was about 10 days before I could allow myself to think about what had happened. Prior to that, if I began to think about it, I experienced again the heavy crushing sensation in my chest and had to put the experience to the back of my mind. About 2 weeks later, I sent an e-mail to Serge, telling him about it. He e-mailed back, “Congratulations Valerie ! … A healing of the Ages!

HOW AWESOME IS THAT! And what an extraordinary GIFT!

My recovery took quite a while: 3 DCR’s and two more trips back to hospital, totalling 24 days. Then I experienced a long period of allergic reactions, much worse than the last time. My arms, legs and back were covered with inflamed, itchy rashes. I suffered nausea and tummy upsets as my body reacted to the anaesthetics and strong medications. I could eat very little. I felt that my body was also getting rid of toxins that I had accumulated over decades. It was not until after Christmas that I began to feel better.

In April 2013, I managed to attend the Retreat at Lennox Head. Just Wonderful.

Since then I have spent my time putting my house in order: both the inner and the outer. It has not been easy, while in an old frail body. I weigh 42 kgs. I can still drive my car, so have been able to attend The Universal Medicine Webcasts at the Victorian Esoteric Group Venue at Viewbank. They have been wonderfully supportive: arranging a roster to bring nourishing gluten free and dairy free meals for me while I have been unwell. I have also been the recipient of wonderful Esoteric Healing sessions from the UniMed practitioners.

I had been putting off having a hip replacement operation on my left hip since before the Pacemaker was installed in 2012. Pain and discomfort has been kept at bay by visits to Melbourne by Steffen, a wonderful UniMed practitioner, who lives in Brisbane. I have been most grateful to him, as I have not wanted to go through the ordeal of another hip operation. In August, however, a painful complication developed, that sent me off to see both the surgeon and the heart specialist, who both warned of the risk of another operation, but there was no help for it, it had to be done. So with some trepidation, on September 5th, I had the operation at Cabrini. Needless to say, I experienced a lot of pain and discomfort, but I survived, with lots of TLC in the Intensive Care Unit. They have the most fabulous team in there.

What was different this time, was that I have not had even the slightest rash or tummy upset in reaction to it all. The wound healed beautifully. This was much commented on by the medical staff. I am sure the reason I recovered so well is, that although I am thin and frail, my body and mind have responded to all the wonderful healing I have received from Universal Medicine over the past year or so and my body is free of toxins.

I have continued to recover very well. I am now back to doing my own housework and cooking for myself. Of course I didn’t survive entirely unscathed. Anaesthetics are not very kind to the bodies of old folks. I have slowed down a lot, especially my walking. I am able to drive my car, however, and am feeling great within …as I appreciate all the love and care I receive from the loving students and practitioners who are the esoteric family of Universal Medicine.

I shall forever express my appreciation to Serge Benhayon, who has been a wonderful inspiration and support to me over these past 6 years.

    This is one of my favourite websites – the stories here are full of magic, talking about many of the topics we don’t talk or use our awareness to share about. Thank you for writing this Valerie, and to everyone who works to maintain this website for everyone to have access and understand teachings such as Karma at such an accessible level.

    Once introduced to Serge Benhayon there is no doubt that he is the REAL DEAL even if we resist and never set eyes on him again; we have felt the truth.

  • Reply Golnaz Shariatzadeh January 8, 2019 at 1:05 am

    I have been noticing how more and more frequently if I pay attention and allow it to come to me, I can have a sense of what any particular symptom is connected to, and when the penny drops, my experience of the symptom starts to shift, sometimes dramatically!

    But notable that recently I have been having a sense that some of the physical could only be ascribed to another period of history. And I noticed the same thing: that once I had fine-tuned the detail I could feel a shift in the symptoms I was experiencing.
    These moments for me are irrefutable proof that reincarnation exists.

    I love this website, the work of Serge Benhayon will be left in history. All of the miracles, all of the simple yet wonderful presentations. Everything that has occured in the last 20 years and everything that is yet to come is documented by people who have experienced it first hand. Everyday I learn more about life, my understanding becomes richer and my foundation stronger – the way I see life, my willingness to see other perspectives and be aware of what is going on underneath the surface are characteristics which I have had in my life forever, my association with universal medicine has only supported this to deepen and expand.

  • Reply Caroline Francis November 29, 2018 at 4:20 pm

    Living righteously is no doubt to live in separation from the love we are. Believing and making ourselves better than another brings about a false way of being that can only reap consequences whether we like it or not – this is the beauty of reincarnation as we have to learn the true meaning of the word Love and what that actually means in our every day living.

    • Reply Alexis Stewart January 8, 2019 at 5:02 am

      The notion of it being ‘too late’ to get something done relies on the concept of time but time is an illusion. When we consider the space that we’re all rattling around in then we can feel that we have forever to return to the truth of who we all are. And it is God that provides us with that space.

  • Reply Samantha Davidson November 10, 2018 at 5:59 pm

    Reincarnation, it is known to me to be true and makes absolute sense when we look at the big picture, our universality. I am preparing and healing this life for the next and others…if we live in this way…life takes on a very different perspective. Responsibility becomes key, on all levels and energy becomes an everyday normal word of meaning and reality. Thank

  • Reply Gabriele Conrad November 9, 2018 at 10:09 am

    Reading this article is opening me up to explore my relationship with reincarnation; something that I have always known to be true but in your writing, something I can see can be much more experienced in every day life – both the experiences of past lives and the responsibility and purpose we have now for lives to come.

  • Reply Golnaz Shariatxadeh September 16, 2018 at 2:12 am

    Prior to meeting Serge Benhayon I had started to consider the possibility of re-incarnation, but seriously, some of the ideas sold about re-incarnation are just as crazy as some of the ideas sold about God and religion. My punitive desire for punishing people at the time liked the idea of ‘hell’ (although I did not believe in such a place), and also liked the possibility of someone coming back as less whether it was as a worm (which again I found difficult to believe) or a life of suffering. But would God be really that callous and punitive toward his children? I struggled with this.
    So grateful for the clarity which Serge Benhayon brought to this area which makes so much sense. And I love stories like this that also add to the depth of awareness and understanding.

  • Reply Caroline Francis September 13, 2018 at 12:23 pm

    Thank you Valerie for sharing such a beautiful story. When we become aware of the absolute truth of reincarnation which was always there perhaps lying dormant for some, we do not need any proof or feel we have to prove it to others – we just know and our movements say it all.

    I just love this piece of writing of you Val, it is written with no excitement but simply words describing your experiences with a deep appreciation for Serge Benhayon, the teachings, the Students of Universal Medicine and the ones working in the hospital, no drama or ‘look at me’ just you being you.

  • Reply Golnaz Shariatzadeh August 30, 2018 at 11:22 pm

    It is wonderful hearing stories such as this to realise that illness and disease is an ally for clearing what we have loaded our being with, which has been contra to the light of our Soul- and that this is the case not for just this life. If we are excessively loading ourselves with something disharmonious right now perhaps what is being cleared is just that excess, otherwise at any point our Soul might deem that we are ready to deal with a package of something from way back and bring it on!

  • Reply Golnaz Shariatzadeh May 28, 2018 at 11:35 pm

    I love it when people share about their experiences and insights about reincarnation. The misrepresentation of this aspect of human life by various institutionalised religions has put a huge hurdle in the path of Humanity re-awakening to who we are, how far we have fallen from that, what are we doing on this planet and how it is set-up to support our return to magnificence that we departed from and have chosen to forget.

    The awareness of reincarnation (not in its ridiculous interpretation such as coming back as snails, but a proper representation such as in http://www.unimedliving.com/serge-benhayon/unimed-publishing/the-author/the-purple-books-everything-we-are-not-told.html) offers the space for us to start taking the conversation much deeper and expanding our awareness in so many other areas.

  • Reply Joseph Barker May 25, 2018 at 8:41 pm

    Seeing life as ‘this is all there is’ is a set up designed to misalign us to Love. Everything about everyday is to do with you and your choices over lifetimes. Live knowing this and you are given a great start to see and feel the truth with your heart.

  • Reply Shami May 11, 2018 at 12:12 pm

    It is amazing, this connection between your body and the imprints of your past lives that could be cleared by it. Because often past lives are considered in something of a transcendental light, but you have brought it back to a very real and tangible experience, which makes life itself very real and tangible.

  • Reply Alison Pearson April 24, 2018 at 5:31 am

    I have always known reincarnation to be true and was completely fascinated to read about your experience during your operation, the way you were counting each past life and were able to feel the level of light and dark in each one. Very empowering confirmation of the fact that we are so much more than we ‘think’ we are and that we have an open line to Universal wisdom, when we are open to receiving the divinity that is there for us.

    • Reply Chan Ly July 13, 2018 at 6:52 am

      Same here Alison, I too have always known reincarnation to be true and it has helped me to makes sense of life. But when I heard Serge Benhayon present on reincarnation I received a deeper understanding and appreciation of reincarnation that inspired me to take a greater level of responsibility for my choices and actions. I also agree that we are all deeply wise, universal, grand and divine. But the question is do we live this?

    Whilst many people do consider reincarnation to be true, I have found very few who embrace this fact. Far from a death sentance it is an essential key to living life fully. If every step we take is relative to our past and that stretches back thousands of lives, not just years, surely we should consider ourselves ancient wise navigators, sailing our way back to love. It’s an epic journey we’ve all been on, so great to get out the map and understand the route as you have done Val.

    I love the definition you gave of re-incarnation and how you have embraced it: ‘This knowledge that we continue to return, as humans, to the imprints left behind, calls for a responsibility that few welcome. It looks at the broader context of humanity and the loving work that needs doing, time after time, to truly support ALL to return to the innate love and divinity that they are.’

      I agree Victoria and what I loved about Valerie’s sharing was that unlike the stories and accounts of past lives in the spiritual new age books, what Valerie shared felt solid and true. Her words simply sat in my body as truth, whereas when I read spiritual new age books, my nervous system was always super stimulated, it often felt like I had fizzy fireworks going off inside and I think I became quite addicted to that fizzy feeling. Eventually however my nervous system felt like it short circuited and died and left me feeling like my battery had gone completely flat!

  • Reply Liane Mandalis March 1, 2018 at 4:19 am

    Valerie, I had to giggle when you said ‘stay with me’ as I could not but keep my eyes fixed on the page and all you have shared here with us. That in one moment in one life we can choose to release and thus heal the myriad of lives we have lived that have not honoured the depth of the beauty we each know ourselves to be in essence, is truly remarkable. It just shows that when the genuine call is there, it is always answered. It is how love moves.

    Thank you for sharing this amazing journey of healing with us Val. I love how you went from being “bedazzled by the bells and whistles of the New Age merry go round” to the steady and loving support of Serge Benhayon and the wonderful students of Universal Medicine. And what a wonderful support team it seems you have had around you and no doubt continue to have. Very inspirational indeed.

    I am deeply touched with your share Rick as well as Val’s. The expression of such stories, revelations and deep awareness are irrefutable reminder that we are so much more than this physical realm that we see, and there is far more to illness, healing and the stupendous flow that we are a part of.

  • Reply Rik Connors January 26, 2018 at 10:08 pm

    Just beautiful Val. Your gift was a gift to me.

    I experienced something similar through my experience of the medical system in combination with esoteric medicine. When Serge says the masters will be with you they certainly are. You must ask the question though for this holding support. I could write a blog here myself about, the incredible support I received both from Serge and the medical staff, but in short I had a procedure performed to have a look on my inside. I had a colonoscopy and a gastroscopy. They viewed down both ends of my digestion system to cover it all off.

    I had pain in my digestion for some time that never would go away. I had all the tests – blood, urine, stool, many specialists and doctor’s appointments all never really diagnosing me with anything. My last test was this procedure. This is a very invasive act – I was not very keen on hospitals feeling so vulnerable. I asked Serge to be with me and he replied “You will have by all with you on Friday”. What I received was not only the doctor complimenting me on great preparation that he was able to see everything but there was nothing to report I WAS CLEAR.

    Since reading your blog Val, I have realised, as Serge as I always meet me with, I have no issues I create them. I, or my separated being inside me my spirit, has created this pain to not be in my power. To not be responsible with my Love in this life. I contracted away from being this exquisitely tender sensitive full of endless love and knowing for myself and fellow human brothers. The images I saw of my insides looked like the universe ever so delicate.
    Thank you Val, Serge, and all who I know and will know again. We all have this gift, a gift that keeps on giving – that is love and there is no doubt about it.

    Of all your searching Val, what an amazing thing it has been for you to discover Serge Benhayon and feel the truth of healing. This testimonial captures the power of connecting more with your body and what it is to deepen the relationship with yourself.

  • Reply Adele Leung January 15, 2018 at 12:44 pm

    The power of the Serge Benhayon purple books is not to be dismissed. Reading the third book The Way of Initiation also brought me a huge initiation in the form of clearing through sickness. Everything is connected and we have so much support around to be back on track of where we are meant to, given this is a choice from our entire being.

  • Reply fiona lotherington January 5, 2018 at 1:16 pm

    It always amazes me how the world can be so divided on things like reincarnation that just make sense to me. But this seems to be true of anything that could actually deliver more awareness and responsibility to mankind. I grew up with the assumption that reincarnation is a fact, yet it was still a reinterpreted version to suit the ‘believer’ (e.g. the ability to blame unwillingness to resolve hurts on past life trauma, wanting to be someone famous, being able to escape into coming back as an animal etc.). Reincarnation is part of a grand cycle and teaches me responsibility and the fact that we do not leave anything behind.

  • Reply Willem Plandsoen January 2, 2018 at 4:24 pm

    Such a sweet piece of writing Valerie. Thanks for this intimate insight in your life, which also shows the many wonders life can present.

    The introduction to this blog is very powerful and a clear and simple read on how energy works and affects us throughout life and death. The majority of the world population has absolutely no problem with accepting the fact of reincarnation. Those that do have a problem are quick in brushing of the ‘believers’ as ignorant and uneducated which is a testimony to how education has led us away from what we innately know to be true.

    ‘Instead, many choose to subscribe to the notion of ascending into some permanent heavenly disembodied state for good deeds done, while condemning others to burn in eternal hell for mistakes made and sins committed.’ I recently watched a video regarding Christmas where a person was explaining that it was a Roman emperor that created 25th December as Christmas day to eliminate the pagan days that were celebrated and a similar thing has been done to many things, including re-incarnation, in that it has been completely bastardised. Time to reclaim the absolute true truth. This is also EXACTLY how I felt reading Book 1 The Way it Is ‘I was feeling and absorbing the TRUTH of it like a dry sponge soaks up water.’ Val you are so very inspiring it would be a blessing to all if you could write some more about your experiences and revelations you have had. This also made me reflect on have I taken the opportunity given in this life to heal as much as possible and clear imprints from my past lives.

  • Reply Christoph Schnelle November 23, 2017 at 7:50 am

    A lot of how we spend money is allocated on money having a time value. That means money today is more valuable than tomorrow and money in 100 years is almost worthless. With reincarnation, this calculation changes. It would be interesting how accounting would change if reincarnation was widely understood to be a fact.

    • Reply Victoria Picone March 1, 2018 at 10:31 am

      One thing for sure is whatever we are investing in today we take in to our future so considering reincarnation we have a responsibility to ourselves and each other to be aware of what we are contributing to.

  • Reply Golnaz Shariatzadeh October 19, 2017 at 12:19 am

    Yes “approximately half of those living throughout the world take the understanding of reincarnation for granted”, but for individuals within groups that reject such a concept, who tend to ask for ‘proof’ because they do not seem to have access to any personal experience to draw on, such open, honest and relatable stories are invaluable.
    Because after a while of hearing such stories and getting that they are quite normal, we end up more likely ease up on the censorship of the awareness of our own experiences, which are the best proof we will ever have.

    • Reply Christoph Schnelle November 23, 2017 at 7:51 am

    The way Serge Benhayon speaks about reincarnation makes so much sense, like most stuff he presents you can be sitting there then be thinking/saying “Oh yeah!” Like how some behaviours or situations feel much older than this life or how certain situations/movements feel so well known to us.

  • Reply Golnaz Shariatzadeh October 2, 2017 at 7:41 am

    We have turned re-incarnation and karma into mystical and nonsensical theories. Just like our perceptions of the non-physical realms and the energetic dynamics of life, those of us who have conscious awareness tend to shy away from even talking about our experiences.

    I know I have reincarnated in to this body, this life time to learn more of who I am and live it more fully. I have had a sense of past lives, and it has never felt like a dream or memory but rather a knowing from the body.

  • Reply Stephanie Stevenson September 27, 2017 at 3:31 am

What is so beautiful is your awareness all along the way despite what was happening to your body. It also says to me, that the opportunity is always there for us to heal, no matter what the experience is, or presented for us to fully heal and allow us to step back into this life to our true selves and ready for our next life as we come back with this awareness for all we meet along our way.

That’s becoming rare nowadays as political correctness takes over and the systems of life seem to produce people who don’t know who they are anymore, and are unable to be themselves and express their uniqueness in full.

It is a great marker as to what our amazing body is able to deal with but when it comes to a time that it can’t any more that there is so much support in the healing process, even if the healing process eventuates in us leaving this life. But as you and I have both learned we can’t simply leave our healing to others, we have a huge part to play as well.

    Many people would brush of your knowing of the counting meaning your past lives but what if it is simply true and that there is so much more going on than meets the eye so to speak? I know if we are open and willing to feel and read what is truly going on in life, life starts to make sense and we can truly heal instead of going for a ‘pitstop’ to get back to our old way of living again.

    This is such a riveting story to read. Like those movies where you are at the edge of your seat. I love the way your understanding and intimate relationship with reincarnation and karma comes across in the sharing and offers an expanded connection to the topic for the reader. It makes me wonder how many similar stories would each of us have if we were more open to observing and actually acknowledging such events in our lives.

    I am sure most if not all aspects of life is coloured in one form or another by such cycles. If we related to them as vividly as you have in your story we would have a very rich experience and would be expanding our awareness and wisdom constantly.

    Since attending Universal Medicine presentations and courses I can say I’ve experienced having a sense of past lives I have lived. I experienced them before Universal Medicine but had no clue what was going on! Like many other parts of life, especially the energetic aspect of life, Serge Benhayon makes the unspoken very tangible and very normal conversation.

    • Reply Nico van Haastrecht September 4, 2017 at 11:57 am

      Indeed leigh, as in the past there was no place for me to go to with the questions and experience I had in life. But now they start to make sense as by living the Way of The Livingness I am allowed and accepted to feel and live in a world of energy where time actually does not exists and all my previous lives are with me in this current life right at this moment. This makes life so much more valuable and in appreciation of who I am in full.

      There have been many, many confirmations I have experienced while attending Universal Medicine presentations and workshops and one of them was reincarnation.

What’s more… and this was the rub… that some part of me deep down had always known I was being an idiot”. But equally nodding in the profound understanding that comes from experiencing the same. I went through exactly the same experience. The joy at the words, and the wondering how I ever got fooled by the other stuff….always knowing I was being fooled. Ergh.
    What I love about your relationship with reincarnation, is that it is simple. It is real. It is a call to responsible action in this life, knowing that there is no lucky escape at the end.
    The results of this are on show in the beautiful clarity in your writing that offers us all a the same opportunity for clarity. They are also on show in your bright, beautiful and steady eyes.

    Mary, this is so true, we can use things to medicate and relieve feelings, snack and check out of life with food, but the pesky feelings always come back. Far better to face what needs facing as it arises and build a new relationship with food by being committed to life and all its challenges.

    Karma is truly a gift for us all when we become aware of how this has harmed in the past and how we can be given an opportunity to heal this or our future.

    There is no doubt that Karma is a blessing in disguise. Yes the ‘ouch’ moment is felt and the harm that we have caused to another shows us so simply that ‘universal law’ brings this back to us as a lesson. I have experience the effects of my choices and once it is recognised, named and deeply understood the levels of heaviness we have carried are removed and we do feel a new lease on life.

    In the past whenever re-incarnation was discussed there were standard ways it could go. The main one was a flat denial of its existence. Then there was the one where someone had been told about the of a possible past, e.g. loads of people thinking they had lived a life as Cleopatra and this was expressed as a way of enhancing the person’s sense of worth in this life. Then there were those who talked about it in terms of the ills of this life excusing it as a punishment because of sins and wrong doing in past life. None of this offered an empowering and inspiring relationship with re-incarnation. Thanks to hearing wonderful accounts of experiences such as yours Val, my understanding of this vast area of our cycle of life expands every day.

    Thank you for sharing Val and for not giving up on life. I know I used to think essentially you got old, retired and then either travelled around the world or were in an old people’s home – I never imagined or thought that you could still be alive and vital in your 70s and 80s. It is a real gift to give the younger generation a reflection of the way you can live no matter what age you are and that no matter what has happened it is never ever too late.

    Thank you Valerie for sharing so much with us. Everything you have written makes perfect sense to me as I also went down the New Age route for ten years and was left more confused than before I started, and then I found Serge Benhayon’s purple books, and like you I had to meet him to make sure – ten years on he is still as consistent as he was when I first met him.

    Also what you have written about your healing process and that by doing some external and internal housekeeping your healing ability has been easier – this is something that has been highlighted with other students of The Way of The livingness who have had hip replacements here in the UK.

  • Reply Elizabeth Dolan November 28, 2016 at 4:45 pm

    Thank you Valerie. There is so much to appreciate in your blog. I love how open and enquiring you are in your elder years. The works of Serge Benhayon do confront us with how we have been living and I love the fact that you embraced this and therefore received the healing that was offered. Your story of clearing karma from other lives really shows how everything is everything and that we cannot get away with anything. There is such a beauty in that.

    Very inspirational blog Valerie and goes to show that we are never too old to change. We need to hear from a 87 year old woman who has a the wealth of experience from all her lived years. The elderly have so much to offer, it is a crime that many are not valued for what they have to offer humanity.

  • Reply Rebecca November 26, 2016 at 7:48 pm

    What an amazing story – thank you for sharing. For me, reincarnation is simply something that makes sense to me, and I cannot doubt that there has been something before this life and there will be life after – when the whole of the earth and universe lives in constant cycles of death and rebirth, why should we be exempt?

  • Reply Eduardo Feldman November 25, 2016 at 3:37 pm

    There is this image that when we get to a certain age, you’d rather go, park the car, and simply wait until the moment of passing over arrives and go. Well, the amazingly beautiful story (the story itself, and the tone and the prose) show us that this image does not have to be at all and that there is no age for healing and that everyone can start their own age of healing. It is a choice we can activate if so we wish.

    A healing experience such as the one you have shared is something very difficult to fathom for many people. When we get a healing we connect and align to something that is much bigger than us; something we belong to; something that holds us eternally; something that brings us back to feel the bigger us that has been patiently waiting for us to get there, to walk together forever.

  • Reply Rowena Stewart November 18, 2016 at 3:38 pm

    Thank you Valerie for sharing an extraordinary journey and an inspiration to many people both young and old that it is never, ever too late to understand and embrace who we truly are and in doing so, assume our responsibility to lovingly prepare ourselves for our next incarnation. As your journey shows us, clearing our bodies of centuries of toxins and neglect is an important part of this responsibility, so that when we arrive in this realm again as a new born baby, we step back in to the life we left behind, a life of nurture, integrity, commitment and brotherhood.

    The wheel of birth, death and re-birth exists without question and just because we may choose to not believe in it does not prevent it from ceaselessly turning. I have always known about the truth of re-incarnation but always regarded in hindsight, as an act that belonged to the past. However, Serge Benhayon shines a whole new light on the Science of Reincarnation and our responsibility towards our future lives. I now understand that the quality in which I live my life sets the tone for my next life, without question. Through Serge’s teachings on Re-incarnation I have re-claimed my responsibility and power in establishing the quality of my next life, which is not reliant on material security, wealth or fame, but based on truth, vitality, integrity and commitment, commitment to life, to people and to my self based on my innate knowing and inner connection to God within.

  • Reply Jonathan Stewart November 17, 2016 at 3:46 pm

    Hearing about your operations is definitely unlike hearing about anyone else’s. Thank you for sharing, Valerie, as it is a great confirmation of reincarnation and how illnesses are the body’s way of clearing what has accumulated over lifetimes that are not part of The Light that one is.

    The understanding of reincarnation as being the Law of Cause and Effect as the Ageless Wisdom teaches as presented by Serge Benhayon brings not only understanding and purpose to life but also the responsibility for every single member of humanity, without exception, to take responsibility for the consequences of their choices and actions long-term that is so greatly needed to cease the on-going loveless cycle that we have kept repeating for so many, many lifetimes.

    Re-incarnation as presented by Serge Benhayon brings a deep clarity and understanding of why life is the way it is and your sharing, brings substance and reality to this truth. Thank you.

    Dear Valerie Hogarth
    This Tablet of Truth is going to be around for a long long time. There is much here that will be studied in the future as it holds many answers.
    I like your style of writing and saying it as it is. I too was on that, spiritual merry go round, you talk about for over 25 years. I was then very cautious when a friend suggested Serge Benhayon. I knew from my first meeting that he was the ‘real deal’ and that was 11 years ago. His books are like bright lights on our path of return.

    Many today would find this piece of writing disturbing or dismiss it because it talks about reincarnation. My understanding today is that reincarnation is the ultimate RESPONSIBILITY in how we are choosing to live in our everyday life. So for me that means, my choices today are going to affect my next life and future lives.
    Great you cleaned up your past stuff and your photo speaks volumes. Congratulations Valerie your next life and thereafter will be the ‘real deal’. Deeply inspiring – thank you.

  • Reply Michael Goodhart October 10, 2016 at 12:31 am

    After reading this incredible piece on Val’s experiences, I was left feeling how claimed she was in the knowingness of her experience regarding the clearing of karma from her past lives. There was no feeling of her needing to have someone else confirm to her the validity of what happened to her, and this shows me how we can all live as true scientists of our own lives, claiming what we have observed as the truth based on the strength of our inner heart’s intelligence of feeling.

I am inspired by your courage to take the steps needed to lighten up; so inspired by the healing you found within yourself once you chose to know Truth again. In your words I feel how clearly your soul communicated to you with the counting and the light and darkness of all the lives you have lived to now… and I feel utter joy in my own heart at the light you have come back to now in this very life and for the ones to come… and in the knowing that we all, every one of us, can do this too.

    Inspirational! A wonderful example of learning to trust yourself and God. If you can stay with yourself while you are experiencing anything, and not react, miracles will happen. Trusting that I will not be given anything that am not equipped to handle is another important concept that has helped me in my healing process.

    This is one amazing story of deep surrender and true healing like none I have ever heard before. It just goes to show that we do know when we truly, deeply and innately know something beyond doubt and regardless of what other people think (as in your past lives experience during the surgery) and when we just fumble along, hope for the best and bury our misgivings (as in your “new age” experiences). That’s one amazing story and yes, when you know something, you just do, beyond a shadow of a doubt and despite the protestations of the mind.

    What you are describing, the count down of your past lives, is indeed “A healing of the Ages!“ And not a New Age book or misinterpretation and no spiritual hoo-ha in sight, just a deep inner knowing that is unshakeable and rock solid.

    I had a similar experience in having been interested in alternative and complementary health for some time and coming to a dead end with many of the modalities and practices I investigated, and realising the extent of the lies and deception that was present in both conventional and complementary health. I was very cynical and cautious when someone suggested that I attend a Serge Benhayon workshop, however, I have to say that the moment I walked into the room and met Serge Benhayon, I knew he was the real deal – a man who would undoubtedly challenge me and everything I thought I knew about life – but a man who was genuinely interested in healing and supporting humanity to live together harmoniously as one healthy and vital human species. These were things very close to my own heart and so I was deeply relieved to have finally met someone who was committed to actually doing it. And that he walked everything he talked about which I found deeply inspiring and still do to this day.

When something is known, it just is and this is a beautiful feeling. Thank you for your openness and congratulations from me too! My little boy is just 7 weeks old and it fascinates me to ponder on the lives that he has lived previous to this one, he has certainly come into this life with a deep sense of trust in God and purpose and I look forward to cherishing this part of him and indeed learning from him.

    One part that stood out for me was where you just knew what the numbers meant and you knew you had a choice to either let go and give up or stay connected to you. There is so much we do know if we allow ourselves to really feel from our bodies, from our inner hearts and not discount these feelings.

    What you have written here Val takes the idea of ‘old age’ and blows it out of the water.

Well, to know that your body is a divine instrument through which we can continually heal so much for ourselves and others in this world is certainly a great start. This is ageless wisdom you deliver, and as you urge us to stay with you, surely these words you say here will remain with many people too.

    Val, your story shows how we just know some things for certain – it’s not a matter of believing but dead-set knowing which needs no proof other than that.

    “I was feeling and absorbing the TRUTH of it like a dry sponge soaks up water.” Valerie, I felt the same when I first started reading Serge’s books – I knew there was something missing but could not find it in new age spiritual pursuits or in institutionalised religion. Here was a man speaking from his essence to mine and awakening the knowing of the Truth which we all have within but which gets covered up by our beliefs and ideals and our way of living which confirms our individuality and denies the essential part of us so that eventually we live just skimming the surface of our lives without truly committing to life or feeling fulfilled. Reading Serge’s books re-connected me with our true purpose which I had not wanted to remember because it would mean that I then needed to take responsibility and walk in the grandness of who I am. Weird how we avoid the very thing we crave – and yet we claim to be so intelligent!

    Like you Val, I was on the ‘New Age merry-go-round’ but once I came across Serge Benhayon’s teachings I instantly knew this was the real deal and I dropped everything else knowing I had let myself been fooled by a fake truth that satisfied because it sounded like the truth I so longed to hear. Serge points us back to our inner knowing and encourages us to discern for ourselves the energy that something is delivered in. When we do this we can no longer be fooled by false truths.

    I am just becoming aware of the effect that my previous ‘spiritual’ experiences still have on me, and though I know what a ‘fruitless quest’ I was on, I realise now that I haven’t freed myself fully from the choice to sell out to that. This is because I have avoided playing my part in the temporal world and I now see the value of what that offers us and how making the commitment to get right in there is the only way to get grounded in my body and free myself from the insidious and tenacious grip of spiritual beliefs that I have allowed to get a hold on me. I know and love the esoteric work but I cannot fully embody it while this is running me. I need to renounce my spiritual ways completely.

        Very true Sandra, when we have that knowing we claim it in full for ourselves within our body. It is not about shouting it from the rooftops but the claiming then brings in the confirmation of what we know to be true … which has just exposed to me I have a lot of claiming to do!!!

  • Reply Aimee Edmonds September 29, 2016 at 11:09 am

    So much to appreciate Val, how you let go of the scars of past ‘new age’ pursuits and allowed yourself to re-connect back to the truth and ageless wisdom, how you committed to healing your past choices and committed to your everyday caring for your body.
    “What’s more… and this was the rub… that some part of me deep down had always known I was being an idiot.” We know the ageless wisdom because we are from it… and yes I have felt the same when that veil has been lifted and I see my past choices that have been any thing but loving.

    To feel the angst of your life prior to meeting Serge Benhayon and then feeling how you have settled into yourself with the support of Universal Medicine was an absolute joy to read. Thank you Val.

      And doesn’t it just show this does not have to be bound by age. We always can make the choice as Val did to go deeper.

    Thank you for sharing this Val, it highlights just how much and how quickly we can heal by the choice to connect to the depth of wisdom we hold within. Nothing is impossible, and the joy I feel in reading your article also cannot be ignored, the lightness and sense of you is clearly felt in your writing.

    You have blown me away from the first day I met you Valerie. Thank you for gracing us with your wisdom and commitment, you truly inspire me.

    While Serge Benhayon opens the door, we are the ones to step through it, as you have Val by opening up and reading his purple books. Being open to wondering about life is what starts our healing process, no doubt for me too, that Serge, and the sheer power of the modalities he has initiated, expedites it! I love the simplicity of the opening paragraph about reincarnation, this is normal.

      The purple books are a constant source of support for many. To be offered the simplicity of what life is all about and that each action is a choice that carries an energetic quality reminds us that there is a responsibility we all play and how we can heal our past experiences through the powerful support of these healing modalities.

    An amazing journey and knowing sharing of the gifts and wisdom of your life. Thank you Val, truly inspirational and it all makes so much sense.

  • Reply Viktoria September 29, 2016 at 5:28 am

    Wow! It’s incredible that you felt the amazingness of what was going on in the operating theatre, that you weren’t scared but simply allowing healing.

    • Reply Natallija February 10, 2017 at 8:43 am

      The surrendering in an operation is an opportunity to heal the physical body and the energetic quality that we are all living. A double bonus!

      • Reply Viktoria August 11, 2017 at 5:12 pm

        That’s very true Natallija, I had a surgery about a year ago and it had been the biggest blessing of my life up until that moment.

  • Reply Adam Warburton September 29, 2016 at 5:25 am

    A very powerful story, and one for the ages. Transformative…and real, and a great example of how to be deeply accepting of the ageing process and how our healing can continue to the end of days. Of course there are those who will demand proof, and put the experience down to hallucinations brought on by the anaesthetic. So be it. Each to their own. For those that experience such moments, however, there is such a deep knowing of what happened that such criticism is easily brushed off for what it is – ignorance, and an attempt to control life by diminishing things that we can’t possibly understand by the application of reason alone, and attempt to belittle that which does not suit one’s own belief system or need to understand life by tangible facts alone.

    It is easy to write off reincarnation – for what proof is there? But the lack of proof alone should not prevent us from embracing it even as a philosophy for understanding life. For even if reincarnation as presented by Serge Benhayon is only a belief system, it is one that engenders a sense of responsibility to life that can only be healthy in its outlook, encouraging one to commit deeply to life, to others, and to oneself, living in the understanding of how one forever affects others and themselves by their actions.

    Such a relationship with life changes our relationship with illness and disease, and with life and death itself. For what if illness and disease was an opportunity for deep healing that goes beyond mere physicality as has been described here? And no, it should not be necessary, if our life and lives were lived otherwise. However, when it befalls us, neither should it engender a sense of foreboding or guilt, or a need to fight, but rather a deeper form of acceptance that it is not seen as a punishment for past life transgressions, but rather an opportunity to bring balance back to the being, so that we can be offered the opportunity to re-connect to a greater sense of our own true divinity.

    In other words, it enables one to be deeply accepting of the cards dealt them in life, and to be more introspective and reflective on what is going on behind the scenes so to speak. The truth is we are not just physical. The miracle of consciousness in itself is proof of that – a miracle that science still cannot comprehend for all its wisdom and knowledge, and most conveniently ignores. Thus why the exploration of religion in its true sense – i.e. an exploration of the nature of our relationship beyond physical life – remains one of the most important philosophical forays one can embark upon, and not one that should be dismissed because it cannot be proven by the one dimensional and reductionist application of due scientific process.

      A ground breaking sharing Adam. Thank you. I thoroughly enjoy reading the wisdom you write. You are so correct in saying the knowing of such moments as Val’s is deeply felt in the body and many people experience this. Moments that are felt so deeply are palpable and for me when they are felt they are incontrovertible, impossible to deny or be argued with.

    Dear Val, likewise from the comments above and no doubt to come below, this is a blog to be treasured – as you are – and it touched me deeply to read it. What a gift to have a greater understanding of life and what you went through on a medical and energetic level. And to hear the wisdom of a woman in her 80’s, is a gift beyond words.

    Staring into your eyes of your photo, I was like, I am most likely going to be old like this woman one day. And then I was filled with a deep sense of being OK about that because I could see the vitality and joy in your eyes and could feel your presence. And then I read your blog and despite your body ageing and becoming frail (as is expected), I could also feel your greatness and I was like, cool, I want to be like you when I am older. We need people like you Valerie to inspire us as to how we can be in our ageing years. Thank you.

    Change can happen at any time if we are open to it. What a gift you gave to your body and then in turn, to all of us.

  • Reply Christine Hogan September 29, 2016 at 5:18 am

    This is a beautiful gift for all that read it Val and says it all when committing to life and the light we are. Whilst reading your blog the resounding understanding that ‘Being and Living the Light we are’ is what being here on earth is all about -it kept coming through powerfully.

    Your writing brings so much joy to read and an amazing healing to the body Val. Something very special happens to the reader as they read something that interacts with the truth within them and magnifies the light that they too hold within. This is an extraordinary start to my day Val – thank you so much.

    • Reply Golnaz Shariatzadeh November 7, 2017 at 2:11 am

      So true Christine. The greatest gift we can offer one another is ‘Being and Living the Light we are’, offering an exquisite reflection of the truth of who they are themselves and the inspiration to choose to live that themselves also.

    Thank you Valerie, I really enjoyed reading your story. It is amazing what the body can do and it really doesn’t matter how old you are.

  • Reply Leah Pash September 29, 2016 at 4:54 am

    I loved reading this Val and I could not stop. It was a very interesting and engaging read. I loved how you explained reincarnation and how you shared your healing experience you had on the table during your big operation. That is truly amazing…. definitely a healing of the ages. It’s so great to hear that you have found yourself within and although your body might be a little frail you know yourself inside and this treasure you can pass on with to your next life. Thanks to Serge Benhayon, a true master healer of our times.

    Stunning article Val, it touched me ever so deeply. I would joyfully sit and listen to you share your experiences Val, you have wisdom pouring out of you!

    Thank you Val, for this story, you are a treasure to be treasured.

    • Reply Matilda Bathurst October 29, 2018 at 3:48 pm

      Totally agree. Treasure in the words and absolute inspiration in the photograph. Thank you, Val.

  • Reply Leigh Matson September 29, 2016 at 1:39 am

    This was awesome to read Valerie. It shows how supportive the work of Universal Medicine can be and how it can support through what are considered very heavy duty situations such as operations. Considering what you’ve shared about your life and your health, your picture does not reflect a person who has been weakened and left frail but there is a strength that can be seen and a clarity in your words.

    I am amazed every time I experience an illness now with the added support of Universal Medicine. What once would wipe me out for weeks if not a month at a time hardly lasts a few days, illnesses are far more acute and yet I bounce back better than before, my relationship towards caring and supporting myself has changed and the experience of being ill is no longer dreaded and feared but welcomed or curiously approached. Universal Medicine works perfectly alongside conventional medicine.

    What a journey one life can be…I feel I had lived a few – but imagine we come back and it will go on! And to look back and see what we’ve done and have chosen so far… At the end we will lie down in the bed we’ve created and this is the bed we will come back to and make a new start, based on old choices. It goes on and on…. and when we choose to remember, we will not so easily repeat the same again and again, but learn out of our experiences. What led me to your sweet and brilliant piece here Val: You chose to learn out of your experiences and go for the journey and truly LIVE. You did not give up! Hats off!
