In order to illustrate the way that UM followers are indoctrinated and the flimsy nature of their beliefs, I thought it would be useful to post a discussion I had with several of them on a Facebook page focused on exposing UM. It is fascinating to see how robotic their responses are, as well how much they lie; I know several Universal Medicine members and they certainly do not behave in the restrained way that these Facebook users want everyone to believe.

Also, if one looks at their pages, it is obvious that these people have completed removed any sort of opposing value system and have completely given themselves to Serge's commands. The only 'likes' they have are of books by Serge Benhayon or music by Chris James, and the few friends they have are mostly from the UM area or are 'esoteric' practitioners. Does this not contradict their claims that 'I've met Serge he hasn't asked me do anything or believe in anything, just feel that there may be a different way to life', or that 'I have never been told what to do or been encouraged to spend lots of money, or stay dependent on them, serge actively discourages 'followers'. How are they supposed to present a balanced view? Serge's trick is precisely to make those following him believe they aren't followers, a sort of doublespeak that allows them to claim they are free and independent whilst totally lapping up every word he says. The mechanical way that all UM followers, including those that I know, defend themselves illustrates this clearly.


(name omitted for privacy-Corboy): So why is it Hambone and Lachlan that UniMed has you concerned. Is it because it stirs something inside of you?

It all comes down to choice and that word called freedom. Brain washed,lost souls, born again or what ever, people go looking for their truth in all sorts of ways, some find it in religion others sitting on top of a mountain and for some listening to another speak and what they have said touches a truth inside of them,if this happens why the fuss. I've met Serge he hasn't asked me do anything or believe in anything, just feel that there may be a different way to life. I haven't paid out thousands of dollars nor have I been asked to contribute on a daily,weekly or yearly basis. I work, have a house to pay off it's all normal. So I sit and listen to a guy speak about truth, love and being honest to ones-self, I don't feel that makes me a cult victim but I'm sure there are others out there who will see and read my words differently, that's ok for it happens, people have been bastardizing others words for years.

(Name omitted for privacy-Corboy) Who serge may or may not have been is not what draws me to unimed. I am drawn to the love I have felt in each and every interaction I have had with them and most importantly that I have exactly the same love living within me when I choose it. Unimed fails every description of a cult- I have never been told what to do or been encouraged to spend lots of money, or stay dependent on them, serge actively discourages 'followers' , he just presents the teachings and the possibilty for those who wish it to integrate. Feelings this amazing within myself is priceless, my family are noticing, my colleagues are noticing and so are others around me. I don't wish to influence anyone, just enjoy my life in a loving way and if that inspires another to do the same so be it. I work in the health system and I can't help but notice how far away so many people are from feeling truly well in themselves and how our rates of illness and disease are escalating. Maybe the human race has got something very wrong and maybe we can try to at least see if another way of living could be worth consodering

(name omitted for privacy—Corboy. Another person replied to Felicity's post)Felicity:

1: Check out the blog I posted on this page just recently - you are clearly wrong that UM 'fails' every description of a cult, in fact it satisfies almost every single major criteria.

It is revealing that everyone who posts to defend UM basically responds in a prescripted, robotic away, uttering the same basic phrases and arguments, it shows the extent of your indoctrination with these beliefs. Instead of analysing things for yourself you just blurt out pre-programmed responses, most of which are false anyways.

For example, the claim about never been encouraged to spend money or being 'told what to do' is absolute lies, I know several followers of UM and they both spend lots of money and have their basic behaviour totally governed by Serge. You are made to feel that unless you regularly see practitioners, buy the products, and attend workshops, you are in the wrong 'energy', and Serge also uses this to tell people what to do 'i.e. sleep at this time, eat this food, like this art, believe this claim etc. I know that he claims that he doesn't force anyone to do anything, but the fact of the matter is that he is so good at implanting his beliefs into his followers that he doesn't need to, they do it for him. This is still a form of forcing people to do something, just a more subliminal form.

Perhaps you say you feel better, but this is based on delusional beliefs and is not healthy. Many people claim to feel 'happy' or 'well' by following destructive beliefs, I'm sure Al-Queda or Charles Manson followers feel great with their brainwashing, but that doesn't justify it or make it any less harmful.

And regarding the health system, medicine isn't perfect, but it has done far more for human health than any pseudoscientific babbling has done in thousands of years. Rates of disease are NOT escalating, Serge's claim about that is fabricated and misleading, in fact most major diseases have seen their mortality rates drop hugely. So again you are wrong. Increased cancer etc which Serge likes to claim is an effect of 'energetic' problems is just a consequence of growing ageing populations in industrialised nations, which exist BECAUSE of health improvements.

Good day

Universal Medicine: Manipulative Cult
A comprehensive look at this dangerously under examined organization

Saturday, 28 January 2012
Welcome
If you are looking at this site, you most likely are either a current member of Universal Medicine experiencing a healthy sense of doubt, or you are a relative or friend of a person who has been caught in the organisation's dangerous web. To the former, I hope to present an analysis underlining the unsavoury elements of the group's ideology which will perhaps trigger a critical reaction or at least a glimmer of suspicion. As for the latter, this can be a place where you can share your frustrations, successes, and just discuss opinions with those who have been similarly negatively affected. Given my experiences so far, such people are not in short supply. It can be incredibly saddening and frightening to see those close to you slowly drift away from reality towards a group psychology aggressive to all debate, so hopefully this page can both be a solace and an impetus towards helping those affected. To freedom!


Members of Universal Medicine make claims about feeling more alert, healthier, more emotionally stable etc and whilst these are all great, if it is all based on a foundation of pseudoscience, group mental/psychological manipulation and a charismatic cult of personality, then those gains are null and void. Would you say that a labour slave was happy, even if he believed that his master loved him and that he was well-treated?

A slave is a slave, and the unquestioning way with which UM followers have accepted Serge Benhayon's doctrines is tantamount to or even worse than physical slavery.


Serge Benhayon likes to claim that major religions brainwash or fabricate truth and whilst this is valid, how does it make Universal Medicine look any better? They are based on the same principles of unchallengeable religious authority and a moralistic categorization of reality, so they are ultimately the same. Is a man who 'only' abuses 2 children a better person than one who abuses ten? The degree of manipulation is not the issue here, and the end result is the same, major religion or not.


Although freedom of expression/belief is important, UM members tend to become self-absorbed and aggressive with their views, and it becomes impossible to have any kind of conversation regardless of topic without them bringing in their beliefs, and always in an extremely condescending way. This can make relationships difficult to handle as members always believe that converting friends or family is the only way they can be happy.


For a person who believes strongly in the use of empiricism and logic versus the irrationality of faith, such mental slavery is truly shocking. Members become almost completely incapable of looking at any event outside of the paradigm that they have been absorbed into, and react aggressively when this is challenged, especially when effort is expended on pointing out inconsistencies and contradictions in its doctrines, which are endless. For example:


They believe in past lives and an invisible and immeasurable energy force which regulates the entire physical world, regardless of actual scientific explanation. They follow fabricated charts which invent functions for the body such as thigh muscles which hold childhood memories, or kidneys which contain evil energies called 'Prana', and these consequently allow Serge Benhayon and his accomplices to claim authority in curing illness, which they 'do' by treating their own invented causes.

Such absurdities allow Serge to gain complete mental and emotional dominance over his slaves; because they believe Serge has access to these 'energies', they let him assume complete control over the way they live their lives: he decides what they eat, what art they like (Da Vinci is a favorite), what music they listen to, what time they sleep, who they mix with, and most frighteningly, what they think.

The cult encourages a highly negative attitude towards the mind, encouraging an emphasis on vague faculties such as 'feeling' and 'listening to oneself'. These doctrines combined are incredibly convenient in manipulating members, as Serge Benhayon is the one who decides and teaches members what 'correct' feeling is, yet he does it in a way which makes them believe they are attaining these realisations themselves. Yet if one was to decide that one 'felt' like eating gluten or sleeping at 2 in the morning, Serge would claim that you are not 'feeling' things properly. Such genius could be put to better use.


This clever manipulation is further illustrated by his claim that his members are not 'followers', and he is not 'teaching' them anything, only revealing what they already know (what does that even mean?). But it lets him deflect attention away from his own domination and deludes his followers into believing that they have somehow retained their own freedom, and in the same way the devaluation of the intellect in his value system allows him to dismiss anyone who tries to challenge him logically by pointing out the endless contradictions in his system.

Another of the more disturbing aspect of Universal Medicine is its targeting of the emotionally vulnerable; women are a key target, and truly serious issues of female abuse are tapped into with quack therapies such as 'breast massage therapy'. This of course extends beyond women, and people who have dealt with illness, loss, both financial and emotional, are the main demographic hooked in.

Serge Benhayon claims he isn’t brainwashing people, but when one is sitting in a tent, with a man on stage lecturing over you for several hours, making baseless claims about health, politics, morality etc, talking about imaginary energies that regulate the world, and pushing you to follow behaviours which conform to these 'energies', then it is difficult to find a more precise word.

Of course Serge is clever enough to claim that he is only revealing 'truths' that members already know, so that he can deflect away the fact that he is directly manipulating them. But in the end that is all he is doing, and the sooner those caught up in this tragedy awaken the better.

Universal Medicine and Serge describe themselves as not being a ‘cult’, yet common criteria used to categorize dangerous groups do not seem to support this claim; below are a list of these, and their applicability to UM.

1. Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability: Serge claims to receive knowledge from transcendent sources, he calls himself a messenger. This allows him to deflect responsibility from his manipulation and put himself out of reach of criticism.

2. No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry: Serge expertly uses the device of devaluing the mind, which allows him to dismiss all criticisms based on critical reflection and analysis. Despite the innumerable contradictions in his doctrines, his followers believe so strongly in anti-intellectualism that they put themselves out of reach of genuine reflection.


3. No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement: Does not exist.

4. Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies and persecutions: Serge talks frequently about his ability to predict future dangerous trends in sickness and disaster, and often describes future trajectories using apocalyptic language, cynically creating an emotional despair in his followers which drives them into adopting his doctrines, in order to escape this frightening vision.

5. There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil: Despite Universal Medicine's rhetoric that people are free to leave or join as they please, they clearly view themselves as the only possibility for living a truly good life, and consequently this implies that all who leave are of a lower status than members. Members frequently use moralistic language to describe those who reject doctrines, e.g. 'she isn't ready for this', 'one day she will 'get' it'.

6. Followers feel they can never be "good enough: Serge describes his 'way' as a never-ending process. One is on a constant path of 'clearing' and improvement, this keeps the money flowing and the followers eternally hooked.

6. The group/leader is always right: Obviously applies to Serge and UM

7. The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible: As mentioned above, Serge describes himself as a channeller of knowledge, which regular members do not have. Despite protestations to the contrary, he is the only source of correct behaviour in the group.

The criteria for unsafe behaviour among group members themselves also coincides well with the attitudes of Universal Medicine followers. The following all describe UM members accurately

1. Extreme obsessiveness regarding the group/leader resulting in the exclusion of almost every practical consideration.


2. Individual identity, the group, the leader and/or God as distinct and separate categories of existence become increasingly blurred. Instead, in the follower's mind these identities become substantially and increasingly fused--as that person's involvement with the group/leader continues and deepens.

3. Whenever the group/leader is criticized or questioned it is characterized as "persecution".


4. Uncharacteristically stilted and seemingly programmed conversation and mannerisms, cloning of the group/leader in personal behavior.

5. Dependency upon the group/leader for problem solving, solutions, and definitions without meaningful reflective thought. A seeming inability to think independently or analyze situations without group/leader involvement.

6. Hyperactivity centered on the group/leader agenda, which seems to supercede any personal goals or individual interests.

7. A dramatic loss of spontaneity and sense of humor.

8. Increasing isolation from family and old friends unless they demonstrate an interest in the group/leader.

9. Anything the group/leader does can be justified no matter how harsh or harmful.

10. Former followers are at best-considered negative or worse evil and under bad influences. They can not be trusted and personal contact is avoided.

I thank God for people like you.My partner was heavily involved with this sinister cult for nearly 18 months .She drifted away from our family and I finally gave her the choice of us or Serge Benhayon ,Chris James and the insidious organization that they run . She is an intelligent person and I had to fight hard to reveal the truth about UM. I thank cultevasion.blogspot.com , your recent blog and all those courageous people who have made comments . I now have my beautiful wife back and I hope UM and all it's associates pay for the damage they have done

WELCOME To ESOTERIC BREAST MASSAGE
The breasts are emanators of a quality of DIVINE TRUTH that begins at the heart. The heart in connection to the pubic bone chakra, which is aligned to the ovaries, brings the emanation of nurturing out for all to have.

Without this connection the breasts receive the end results of the disharmony.

The breasts are an area of a woman’s body that is not fully comprehended for what it truly is. Of course, we know that the breasts are for feeding the developing young, but what is not known is that they emanate, if and only if they are clear, the 'LIGHT OF NURTURING'. If the ’light of nurturing’ is emanated, this natural and lost true way of being will be re-instated. This knowledge is in-line with and equal in importance to the way the shoulders of a man can emanate ‘the light of caring‘ for another.



The breasts cannot emanate the 'LIGHT OF NURTURING'

if the woman is not self-nurturing.


Unfortunately, and to our own demise, as a result of the women having to resort to a more male driven energy to get through what is demanded of them to simply win back some form of equality in society, they have lost their inner-instincts to self-nurture – thus the lack of true self-nurturing that now prevails in our world. In energetic truth, it is not only the women that get directly affected by this ill-way of being, but we all do - as a result of the lack of this light impulsing and inspiring us to be more self-loving.


Lack of self-nurturing is now a significant global problem and
in particular for women, as it is the energetic cause of breast cancer and
its ill rise in our societies everywhere.


For a long time women have been accepting, or treating as normal, the fact that they get a few lumps in their breasts at every cycle or at some point in time. Some have them there all of the time. We are told/taught that these lumps are ok in some way and that because they are just benign or just simple ‘lumps’, there needs to be no concern. Of course, this is true from a terminal illness point of view, but not so if energetic truth is sought. The fact that they are there is demonstrating that something is not in harmony. If there is no harmony, there is no true light.

This is significant, for without our true light, not only do we suffer from our lesser way of being but so too does all else suffer from our lesser way of being with them.

Our breasts hold energetic imposts - these come from how we feel about our breasts as in: ‘I hate my breasts’, ‘they are too big’, ‘too small’, ‘I do not want to develop breasts as they attract the wrong sort of attention’ etc. In effect any one thing you think ill about yourself as a woman affects your breasts and ovaries. Then there are the external imposts from men, for example men who use breasts as their classification of attraction. And then there are those from society, i.e. ‘you did not breastfeed for long enough’, etc. So there are many imposts in the breasts. This is a huge issue. The Esoteric Breast Massage (EBM) can help clear the imposed ills that come from ourselves and from those who impose on us.



“We must free the woman to allow her to truly be in every way
so that we can benefit from her living stillness and natural nurturing ways.”
~ SB


Every time your breasts get affected, that is, sore or lumpy, it can contribute to a lung condition, and a digestive issue. And if the breasts are affected, so too are the ovaries, which emanate the ‘light of Femaleness’, and hence, they too are suppressed and contracted from their natural way of impulsing – this actually occurs – they then affect the breasts.



‘The woman’s breasts belong to the woman’

The woman's breasts are not sexual objects.
The woman's breasts are not feeders for the young.
A woman’s breasts belong to her.



The breasts can be lovingly used sexually or they can be lovingly used to feed the young, but they must come back to the woman as they belong to the woman.
It is important that this is understood. The breasts are attached to the woman and thus naturally belong to her as part of her body. By choice, what they do and or how they are used is one thing, but they must not belong to the form of usage, for that is where the confusion leads to the neglect and eventually the unconscious resentment.

The woman must be enriched by her own body parts. In this case, if a woman’s breasts are not loved and adored as they are, in whatever shape or size they are, they can be neglected and or, they can become objects that are used for everyone else but herself.

The Esoteric Breast Massage assists to heal many issues such as painful periods, polycystic ovaries, endometriosis, bloating/water retention, and pre-menstrual and menopausal symptoms.

It is not surprising to see the amazing results, but most importantly, the deeply revealing discoveries that women are making about themselves through the release of what is insidiously held in their nurturing centres – their breasts.

Breast Massage Questions and Answers


How many EBMs do I need?
A woman benefits from a series of EBMs to help clear the imposed ills that come from herself and from those who impose on her. How many EBMs are beneficial will depend on how much is in the breasts to be cleared. We recommend at least 10 to 12 to start with, but you may feel it is right to have more. It is, after all, a choice to bring the whole of you back to yourself. At the end of the first series of EBMs, we recommend having them every 2 to 3 months to maintain clear breasts or whenever a woman feels impulsed to clear more from her breasts as it has been clearly shown that there are many layers to get to and eventually clear.



How long is an EBM session?
The first one is 1.5 hours, then 1 hour after that.

How often do I come?
This is entirely up to the individual woman. You can attend weekly, fortnightly, monthly etc. In some acute and extreme cases, you may need to have one a day.


How much does it cost?
Fees are set by each and every EBM practitioner individually, and vary slightly due to costs their circumstances and overheads etc.



Will my breasts change?
Feedback and experience have shown us that the breasts take on a more natural shape when the imposition has been removed. This will vary from woman to woman. In all cases, each and every woman has shown a deep satisfaction and fondness about having her breasts back to herself.


Can I have an EBM if I am pregnant, breastfeeding or in menopause?
Yes, EBMs are beneficial for women during all stages of life.



How is it helpful during breast feeding?
If there is no nurturing energy in the breasts the baby suckling will receive the milk, but will not get the nurturing energy. All is energy, and if the breasts are not clear when the baby is feeding, the baby will also receive the ill-energy that is in the breasts. This aspect is revelatory and unique to this process. Put simply, we now have a true choice about the actual quality of our feeding milk.



Can I maintain my own breast care afterwards?
There is an EBM cream that has been esoterically designed by Serge Benhayon, the founder of this healing process that is available for women to purchase from their EBM practitioner after their fourth massage. You cannot clear the breasts by using the cream, but you can use it to maintain them. It is a self-nurturing gesture to apply this unique cream to your own breasts as the EBM cream has been specifically designed to lovingly support this self-nurturing process.


How will ‘me’ having an EBM affect my partner?
A woman’s partner most likely will feel the process. As a woman starts to claim her own nurturing energy, this will bring up in the partner how they have not been truly nurtured when young themselves. Men start to get a sense of the true purpose of the breasts and it is revealed to them how they too have inadvertently imposed on them.


Will it help with period pain?
Period pain stems from a lack of stillness (femaleness) in the uterus. The Esoteric Breast Massage assists in bringing the woman into greater stillness and therefore, the process of recovering from period pain to a more sustainable and clearer experience is given a truer basis from which to address the key underlying primary issues. Period pain comes from the lack of stillness and self-nurturing and the ill-quality of spleen energy. The EBM thus plays a vital role in the process of healing this widespread ill condition in women.

Origins of Esoteric Breast Massage
EBM Training


Initial EBM training with Serge Benhayon took place over a several hour period with a group of woman who had been working with Esoteric Healing for some time and had developed themselves to a certain level of clarity. The basis of the breast massage was presented in some detail initially with much discussion and clarification. The procedure was then demonstrated by simulation with Serge using his partner, fully clothed, as the subject.


The woman then paired up in private rooms to practice what had been shown and to begin getting a feel for what had been presented. This formed only the initial part of training with a requirement then to continue swapping with each other for at least ten EBM’s. Once each trainee felt clear enough to do so they could begin to present and practice the technique with clients.

Mary-Louise Myers has now taken over the role as trainer of new practitioners for EBM, having herself established a very high level of competency and energetic integrity with the esoteric breast massage. There is still the same requirement that those accepted into the training program must have reached a certain level of energetic clarity to begin and are then required to undergo whatever number of EBM’s are needed to be ready for practise. A final assessment is undergone with Mary-Louise where both she and the training practitioner agree on readiness.

Training for all practitioners once certified remains an ongoing process of self healing, along with monthly developmental meetings and an annual training and re-assessment day to ensure that the required quality and energetic integrity remains within each and every practitioner. Those who may lose this at times for personal reasons step back from practice for whatever period is necessary to restore the level of energetic clarity needed.

It is a significant and true commitment required by every woman who trains and a level of personal responsibility that ensures that for every woman who might seek an Esoteric Breast Massage from a Universal Medicine trained practitioner, that the quality and integrity of service she receives is always in line with that which was originally intended with the development of this technique.
