Livingness
In a nutshell The Livingness is simply about living as our true selves. It is how the Soul would live on Earth because that is who we truly are.
It is our ability to live and express who we truly are inside, and taking this into our day to day life.
Everything we do say or think and every action we take or do not take contributes to our Livingness. Our choices, actions and inactions have a direct effect on our health, physical body, planet and each other. They can be the cause of our greatest healing or harm.
The Livingness is never about perfection, as there is not a measure of judgment in the typical sense of “good”, “right” or “wrong” based on imposed ideals and beliefs. There is no picture that constitutes The Livingness, but a forever unfolding development that respects the timing and rhythm of each person to embrace who they truly are, and to learn in that development whatever may be the needed lessons at hand, by the virtues of being students of life - as we all are.
The Livingness unites the outer and the inner
Do we hide the grandness of who we truly are from others?
The Livingness – a spherical way of life
What has The Livingness got to do with the way we walk down the street?
From birth to death we are bombarded by all that we are not and constantly told that we should be this way or that, so much so that we often lose connection to our true Essence and start looking outside of ourselves for who we are.
It is our evolution to RETURN to our true selves and for all of humanity to express and live in the quality of the Soul on earth. Those qualities are Love, Truth, Joy, Stillness and Harmony.
What exactly is The Livingness
Returning to our true essence that we felt as a child and how living from that quality creates a way of being.
From the history of the word we learn that…
The word Livingness comes from the union of the word ‘living’ and the suffix ‘ness’. The word ‘living’ derives from the verb ‘to live’ from the Old English ‘liflan’ and ‘libban’ meaning ‘to be, live, have life or to experience’. This in turn originates from the Proto-Germanic ‘liben’ meaning ‘to live, to remain’ and from the Proto-Indo-European root ‘leip’ – ‘to remain, to continue’. The aspect of continuity is also found in the origins of the root ‘leip’ which appears to derive from the Greek ‘liparein’ meaning ‘to persist, to persevere’.
Importantly, the suffix ‘ness’ added to the verb living indicates that the word Livingness does not simply refer to the act of living or going through life in a casual manner nor does it refer to the fact of simply being alive or existing, but it implies that there is a very specific quality and state of being to that living.
Although the dictionary defines the word Livingness as the ‘state or quality of being alive, possession of energy or vigour, animation…’ it is clear that its etymology implies much more than any present definition portrays.
In fact, both the Proto-Indo-European and Greek roots of the word show that the verb to live was at its origins used with the meaning of ‘to remain, to continue or to persist’. This appears to indicate that in ancient times people knew that everything they lived remained or continued; that is: that every action or inaction, every word, every thought and every intention would leave an imprint which would persist, continue and thus, would have an impact on themselves, others and on everything around them. This is because those ancient civilisations knew that everything was energy and because of energy and that no-thing could escape this truth.
The awareness that the energy of everything that was lived would continue and would leave an imprint, meant that life needed to be lived with a very specific quality, integrity and responsibility. In other words, life had to be lived in a way that would take into account “…the part within the whole and the whole within the part…” (Serge Benhayon) at any given time. That is, life had to be lived spherically. The spherical way of living is called the Livingness.
Hence, in its true energetic meaning the word Livingness indicates a quality or a way of living that is all encompassing and that stems from our connection to our innermost Essence, that is to our Soul.
"It is the livingness of who we truly are that will make the Divine changes to this plane of life. It will not happen by us having the knowledge to study and or research it. Even Divine knowledge is but a mere speck in relation to the omnipresence that comes from the livingness of it."
Serge Benhayon An Open Letter to Humanity, ed 1, p 113
