1. I am a health care professional with over two decades of being in the industry. In the beginning of my nursing career, I saw many people pass over through many cancers, and it was always distressing to observe and I did not fully understand why except what I was taught growing up in an Indian community.

   Roll on years and through the presentations of The Way of The Livingness, my perspective has changed. Bringing more understanding that every person brings a life line with them, and with it the calamities, the joy, the opportunities to grow, that goes with, life. It’s the relationship we develop with life is the key to living it to the fullest.

   All of these three amigos have been inspiring to be around and change my perspective that there is another way to live, and live whether with cancer or whether without it too.

2. Such an Awesome photo! Really we should have this as a billboard poster all over the world. 3 people with with cancer that literally exuberate and radiate vitality, joy and health! How can this be? Just through their livingness and choices they have made. GOSH the whole world needs to know about this! ✨ This needs to be shouted from all the rooftops for all to know ❤️

   1. Vicky, agree if we showed this photo to people, they wouldn’t believe that these three people had cancer. Most billboards present people suffering, so they can prey on people’s emotions and sympathy. Dying with dignity needs to be pondered over and over again…

3. “I am contributing to my community and am committed to life till the day I pass over.” This is so different to the usual giving up mentality that seniors have in retirement, and obviously unusual for anyone experiencing a terminal illness. If we break it down even further to cover other age groups from teens onwards, we may find very few of us (well or otherwise) truly live this way, yet commitment to life and having purpose seems to be key to vitality and well-being.

4. Truly inspiring ✨showing us a completely different way in how to live and how to be.

5. This is a stunning blog Rosie “‘ I love my life, I love who I am and I do not need to go and do things that do not really support me. I have lived with cancer for three years, I still work, I listen to what my body tells me, and I make self loving choices and I feel amazing. Accepting and embracing this disease has allowed me to have a joy within that I love to share with everyone I meet and show there is another way to live, The Way of The Livingness!”’ Who else is saying how much they love their life? Who else shows such purpose to life and yet is living with terminal cancer? This is truly inspiring, thank you.

6. I have shown Ingrid’s website to friends and family and they are shocked to learn she has cancer and yet looks so vibrant and alive. As you mention Rosie you don’t have to die at the moment of diagnosis and these three are certainly bucking that trend.

7. The pictures about the ageing process and how we should be, depending on our age are endless, but it’s a blessing having new role-models who are beautifully showing us how joyful, vital and precious living a life based on love can be, whatever the age, the gender, the place we live in…this possibility is accessible for all, equally so.

   1. Thank you Inma for your comment, it’s reminded me to look at pictures for other things as well, for being unwell, etc, we can still feel joy, love and purpose, and bring our all despite what we are experiencing.

8. Yesterday walking in the street I could observe the body and gazes of some people. They weren’t joyful, vital and vibrant but very empty. We could justify that because of the age, past experiences or whatever, but the fact is we have a life to be lived in full and if it’s not the case, why we don’t question it?.

9. It’s a joy to see people like Nick, Ingrid and Susan who are living a wonderful life despite what they are experiencing at a physical level. Certainly they are leading the way in how we all can be in life, appreciating and embracing each moment, learning step by step and honouring the beauty inside us. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful article Rosie.

10. Love doesn’t necessarily defeat cancer but can enormously increase our quality of life during cancer and here are three prime examples.

11. All three are positively glowing, you would never guess they all have cancer if you met any one of them in the street. Truly inspirational and just highlights that there is another way to live and be with cancer – but first things first, we do have to give up the ‘fight’, let go of control, accept what life has presented and in the acceptance, one can surrender and find their true way.

    1. Yes, first things first” as jacqmcfadden says…

       and I have found this to be true of everything life presents, not only the big stuff like cancer; that first we need to stop ‘fighting’ and accept what life is presenting so we can surrender to the wisdom that is always on offer from the Universe, from God and from within.

       When I do this I can feel how to live and go forward in life in a true and loving way.

12. “They are leading the way in how to live with cancer and not be dead before they really are.” What an ispiring story, and one that we can all learn from whether we’ve got a serious illness or not.

13. Love that these guys are guided by the grace of their soul. I have worked with too many dying people who are in deep emotional turmoil because they don’t know where they are going next and want to cling onto life.
    Death is a certainty and whether we believe it or not we are coming back, so much less painful to embrace whats on offer and say yes to the healing from our beloved soul.

    1. It makes sense that how we live is how we die, it highlights how important the three people are in this story, they are showing that a way of life is what supports them in the way they pass over.

14. Talking with friends this morning it is so clear how little we respect our elders. It is pure gold to read about the three amigos and the inspiration and everything they offer.

15. Ultimately, as we approach the close of our life, it is our Soul that ‘pulls the plug’ so to speak. Death is not some ‘big bad’ thing that has to happen to us all one day and is to be avoided at all costs. It is a necessary step in an unending cycle of life that continues even when we pass over. Honouring this process by virtue of living connected to our Soul gives us the grace and the space to not diminish our light in any way as this body of light prepares to leave its enhousing vehicle (our physical body). And this is what these three gorgeous amigos reflect to us all – that no matter what illness you may experience, this light does not need to be turned down or diminished in any way, in fact, it can be turned up full bore and beamed back into the world even as we are getting ready to depart.

16. So beautiful to read Rosie, thank you for sharing “Cancer and the three amigos!” Such an amazing reflection of us all to deeply appreciate and see what a magnificent difference the way we choose to live in any given moment when dealing with anything that is presented to us, has on the quality of our being.

17. A real reflection of illness and disease with vitality joy and opportunity form choosing to live another way that supports us all beautifully through life and passing over.

    1. Amazing that you can have vitality and joy with illness and disease and that there are three examples here at once.

18. Stories such as this clearly show that our understanding of illness, disease and even terminal disease is as yet very limited, and there is far more to it than we have as yet allowed ourselves on mass to connect to.

19. What these three people live is so very helpful for us all no matter where we are at and how our health condition is. To live in every moment with deep love and care for ourselves and simply take one step at a time helps us all to remain true to ourself and not get lost in the demands and lovelessness of the world.

    1. Thank you, Esther. Great words for me to read today.

20. The Way of The Livingness is a lived example where it is possible to be living a different way than what most have settled for. It’s a way of living where it is about connecting to our true origins first and foremost and expressing this with all and everywhere we go.

    1. Yes – and the simple power of connecting to this essence and expressing it is revealed here by those who are living with a terminal illness. Their vitality and zest for life simply speak for themselves.

21. Thank you very much Rosie for sharing this with us all. It is a very needed reflection for all humanity as all three of these wonderful people show that health and well being is ultimately a choice and a choice we all have the equally opportunity to make.

22. I find this very inspiring, the way that these three people have chosen to embrace life during a period of time in their lives when there could be many reasons to give up.

23. We can only imagine how life is for one who has a terminal illness, but these three certainly are bucking the trend for their response. All three are living very much in tune with their bodies, resting when they need to but not giving up, it is inspiring for all of us, for they are still participating in life, committing to their local community and being socially engaging.

24. This is so inspiring, it is beyond anything I have read about cancer before. It really is incredible how joyful and accepting of their bodies they are and how this means they are connecting to a way of living that brings immense contentment, purpose and joy.

25. There is a lot of love and well-being in that photo of the three amigos. I doubt anybody would pick this photo as the photo that shows terminal cancer patients.

    1. I agree Christoph it is incredible how vibrant and beautiful they all look; it is like babies, they emanate a lightness that is very magnetic to look at.

26. “….I see the wisdom of their life, I see the glow in them, like something is radiating out of them and I see a joy that is infectious.” It is quite extraordinary and very inspiring to see 3 people with a terminal illness to look so bright and full of life. It does make me feel that being diagnosed with a terminal illness does not have to be a death sentence full of doom and gloom, but can be an opportunity to embrace life in full and celebrate every moment with everything that you are.

27. This is totally amazing. So many of us try putting up an appearance by hiding whatever is deemed inconvenient, but what we see here is complete openness, and so much beauty and wisdom is overflowing. Just gorgeous.

28. Amazing how much something as serious as cancer can be transformed when there is love present.

29. The Three Amigos are definitely redefining what illness looks like, as well as how to live with it.

30. We seem to see illness as a bad thing – a sad time and something we try and avoid. But in that we are saying no to seeing what illness is there to reflect to us – the fact that the body is communicating to us something that does not belong. This blog shows how we can look at illness in a different way and still live every bit of who we are in the process.

31. I come back to this article again and again simply because I want to see the photograph and then, whilst looking at it, remind myself that these 3 people have cancer and are more vibrant, beautiful, sparkly and inspiring than a lot of us who consider we are well.

32. Love what these guys offer to the world, how inspiring is it to see people looking so well with a terminal illness.
    Forget X Factor these are the stories that need to be told.

33. I love the three testimonials from the three Amigos, there is not an ounce of pity or ‘why me’ and their photo shows this, they all look amazing. They understand fully their terminal cancer, they are not shying away from it, going into battle with it or giving up on life, this in itself is amazing and as you say Rosie, they should be studied to see what it is about their lives that makes this all so possible.

34. It’s a common thing to have a ‘bucket list’. What I love about what Ingrid is sharing is that if you are living all of who you are and loving life there is no need for one. It exposes where we have an emptiness within us and seek something to complete us. Living knowing we are complete already changes everything and offers everything for all, now that’s what I call purpose.

35. A beautiful sharing and valuing of each other in illness and disease and all it offers us to clear our bodies and live joyfully together.

36. This blog highlights the natural joy of living connected with our inner hearts and secondly that these three are indeed role models of living with rather than suffering from a disease.

    1. I love how you have expressed it here, Jenny. Yes – we can live with conditions but not suffer from them or be identified by them when we are connected to our inner hearts. If any of these three walked into an unknown doctor’s surgery as they are, the medical professionals would be hard pressed to say that they were anything but vital and healthy.

    2. And it knocks out the affliction I have adopted about perfection, the one that says there needs to be some kind of picture perfect before I can live in full… absolute nonsense I realise and conversations like these support me a lot.

       1. Yes, we can live beautifully in almost any circumstances – even terminal illness.

37. Before I cam across Universal Medicine I had heard the term “you are not your illness” and such words, yet nothing had ever confirmed the depth of glory that IS us even nearly to the extent that The Way of The Livingness has for me. I am not surprised that the Three Amigos tick the boxes for a picture of health and vitality so well, despite and regardless of cancer.

38. Living esoterically certainly has its benefits in health and in illness. The bar is clearly raised on the standard of living.

39. There are thousands of examples of how The Way of the Livingness has transformed lives. The three amigos buck every statistic and break the myth that you have to fight cancer. Understanding their worth and purpose, it feels to me like they are embracing life and the healing and learning the cancer offers.

    1. And are getting a new lease of life in the process.

40. The Three Amigo’s are a classic example of the duality that exists and perfect union / marriage between conventional and Esoteric Medicine.

41. When life becomes less about what we do and more about the quality we live in cancer is easier to embrace and seen for the healing in is, because cancer does not stop us from choosing the quality we want to live in. We might not be able to do everything we once did but the quality is forever and always our choice.

42. The ‘Three Amigos’ are most definitely an inspiration and leading the way to approach cancer and dying. A most powerful testament to the truth of The Way of Livingness.

43. Another spark of inspiration from the Universal Medicine teachings and those that are students of them… life is to and can be lived in full to the end.

44. The three amigos are a great example of the depth of joy, settlement and fulfillment living with purpose, commitment and an awareness of your contribution to the world offers. A blessing far bigger than any issues we may need to deal with in life.

45. They are absolutely leading the way they look joyful and lively, enjoying life until the end. Rolemodels for everyone!

46. The thing is we all have a “terminal illness”… It’s called having a human body and being born… There is an irrevocable cycle that, if recognised understood loved and lived, would change everything for humanity.

47. I love coming back to this blog if only for the picture of these radiant, full of life, joyfull people who have completely and humbly embraced the offerings of their illness and have come to make changes in their lives that is inspiring to us all!

48. When I read the words I have no bucket list, I can feel how fully life can be lived when we bring ourselves to it in full, no avoidance or delay just an honesty to feel and face it all.

49. I have now seen first hand the look of horror in a person’s eyes when cancer is in their body and they feel powerless to it. This look is so different to the eyes of the people in this photo, who are so full of joy.

50. A great testimony of how the Universal Medicine modalities most definitely are complementary to medicine. To live looking and feeling vital despite having serious health diseases, is a benefit to all – family, community and the health care system.

51. A beautiful sharing that is amazing to see and read and is an inspiration to us all and a blessing for everyone with cancer to know for themselves lovingly.

52. This example of what it means to live with a terminal disease takes out the ‘why me’ or feeling a victim of an illness and circumstances. There is no sense of fighting cancer but more of a commitment to life without regret. Very inspirational and setting a new standard of what it means to have a terminal disease.

53. Amazing sharing Rosie Bason, and something to inspire anyone who has a cancer diagnosis.

54. To look so well, when so ill is an anomaly. It doesn’t stack up with everything we know about cancer and yet here we have three amigos looking spritely, vibrant and well… more so than the average Joe on the street. There has to be something in this Universal Medicine, Ageless Wisdom and The Way of The Livingness thing!

55. Ultimately we are all going to pass over at some stage, this is a given we all know this but to approach it with such awareness and dignity is not something that is a given but something we all need to learn. Why be miserable when we can still enjoy and make every moment count until the last.

56. The ‘fight mentality’ is huge and has a huge effect on our body. Working in nursing I hear phrases such as ‘they have given up the fight’ or ‘they have battled long and hard’. I have wondered and observed for a long time how exhausting ‘fighting’ is for someone, even if it is fighting against something that is within our own body. It’s like through fighting we have put up a wall to no longer being able to hear that our body is communicating to us. We do not need to fight our body, even though we may not like what’s happening. There is a way to live with with a serious disease, even one that will take our life and have no fight at all and all 3 people in this blog are doing exactly that.

    1. A great point Jennifer about the concept of ‘fighting’ a disease, as if it is the enemy. The three amigos are showing us there is another way to live with whatever illness, impairment or disease we may have, working with our doctors and understanding ourselves at a much deeper and more expansive way. For example, one thing you have highlighted here Rosie is the loving and supportive relationships between these friends, and then how they take that to everyone.

57. Death is not about giving up on life, even when your body is preparing for death, it does so with full commitment to life as can be seen in the eyes of these 3 amigos!

    1. Yes this is one of the big points of inspiration for me too. That life is to be lived in full from beginning to end.

58. These three amigos certainly do look full of vitality and love for life and people. The glow emanates from them and their eyes are full of the warmth of life. It is a blessing to know that this is indeed possible for any one and for any one of us regardless of illness or disease – if we each lived our lives and days as if it was our last day on earth, how much more love would we allow out? A great question to ponder on!

59. This blog shows that anything can be healed in terms of our relationship with it: every moment and situation presents us with a choice: to accept and embrace the learning and opportunity on offer, or not. Inspiring to read how these three amigos have embraced this opportunity and are radiant with warmth, connection and vitality as a result.

60. This is a testament to the fact that we can live with an illness or disease but still LIVE and enjoy our relationships, family and even work without feeling like we are restricted from doing so as a result of this burden.

    1. Who’d have thought that living with a terminal illness could mean that you could still enjoy life in full? What a beautiful example of a way of being that even the healthiest and heartiest of us could benefit from!

61. “The three amigos”… so full of love, joy and vitality – an inspiration for us all… not only in regards to terminal illness but also they show us “what getting older can look like” no matter what is happening in our lives.

62. A beautiful sharing and photo of these 3 amazing people with the acceptance of their illnesses and their commitment to life with joy and purpose that is so inspiring to read and so different to what is so often the case. A real inspiration and healing to read.

63. Wow what beautiful quotes from these 3 people who are so committed to life and not beaten down by their illness. There are so many things out there to beat cancer and fight it – but here we have 3 people who have done the opposite – who have accepted it in full and are working with their bodies, not against them.

64. So often cancer is seen as a ‘death sentence’ … but clearly it doesn’t have to be that way!

    1. Yes, the vitality in the body of living esoterically certainly redefines what it looks like to be ill or have a disease.

65. The photo of Nick, Ingrid and Susan speaks a thousand words – no-one would ever think they have an illness of any description. Having worked in cancer for 8yrs there wasn’t a single person who came close to the joy, love and vitality that is so obvious in these 3 amigos… they are such awesome role models for society and especially for medicine.

66. Nowhere else, except for people living The Way of the livingness, have I heard of people really living with such joy and commitment when faced with a disease such as cancer. They are setting a new standard and are role models for the world.

67. This is an awesome read Rosie… full of inspiration and the reality that illness is not a time to give up but to be totally inspired by the healing on offer.

68. The Livingness isn’t a secret as its simply responding to what you feel in your body and allowing more of the inner you to come out. This secret has been known for eons by some even though it’s not the norm of society.

69. It is very inspiring to have elders that can share the wisdom of true wellbeing and vitality, whilst living with cancer.

70. Being truly alive as we all make our way towards death – the three amigos trail blazing for us all.

71. These are beautiful examples of true wellbeing and living life with purpose and joy.

72. This so joyful to read, I have never read or heard people speak about their disease from lightness, true joy and actual power! Seeing you standing there and embracing life tells the world that we have something to live for, even till our very last breath. Thank you for your honest reflection and the work you have done and surrender you have allowed in your lives.

73. Living with rather than fighting, denying or suppressing allows for acceptance of what is and the opening to consider and heal the underlying root cause.

74. The inspiration of these 3 beautiful people is huge as is the reflection of The Way of The Livingness on their lives, who they are now and the joy they are living with an aliveness and realness from within.

75. Redefining what it looks like and how one lives with illness.. They collectively look like their disease is not dominating them, their light and love and capacity to live to their fullest despite the disease process is remarkable. The Three Amigos are a fabulous case study of how to live vibrantly with illness and disease.

76. These beautiful people look totally alive whereas many people you pass in the street look so checked out that you would swear that they were the walking dead.

77. I love what you’ve shared about how the love between the three of you is the same no matter if you are actually ‘blood’ or not. This is true family.

78. These are three remarkable beings that have had the awesome support of Serge Benhayon and the Universal Medicine therapies. Serge is always there no matter what for support and sharing the wisdom that he lives.

79. I saw Ingrid speak on a recent webcast and honestly, if you didn’t know she had cancer you would have said she was supremely vital and healthy. She simply radiated beauty and was incredibly steady and solid. Students in the esoteric community really need to be studied as they are breaking the mold.

80. Looking at the photograph of the ‘three amigos’ it is difficult to conceive that a common factor is that they all have cancer. Their stories are true testament that there is different, far more enriching way to live than the one commonly lived by humanity in general, and it is available to all.

81. All three of these wonderful people are inspirational living case studies of the power and grace of love, commitment, purpose and The Way of The Livingness.

82. I get such a warm feeling looking at the photograph above, no doom, no gloom and no fear of what lies ahead, only a joy in the all knowing that life is just a process back to the light.

83. It is fascinating how a person whose body is ill can feel very alive and actually healthy as the very being that they are. Understanding illness and disease of the body as the healing process turns the common paradigm upside down.

    1. Yes, to feel healthy and alive when the body is ill is a paradigm shift of understanding that turns the present approach to illness and disease on its head that leads to completely different questions and answers to the cause and subsequent treatment of the illness.

84. What a beautiful reflection of illness and disease and how we can be supported in our lives and the community as a whole. A joy to read and see the truly smiling faces and the vibrancy and aliveness in the photos which says it all and is an inspiration to the world.

85. Being your own best ‘amigo’ is the greatest medicine you can ever live, no matter the turn of events.

86. “What is their secret? There is no secret, there is no hiding or not talking about it, in fact they are all very open about it in the same way that they are open about the way that they live and their religion, The Way of The Livingness, and how it has supported them to live well, despite having cancer.” These three look so well – living with cancer – in fact they look more healthy than many people who don’t suffer any health problems. The meaning of healthy surely has to be redefined.

87. The eyes say it all in this absolutely joyful photo.

    1. Agreed Kathleen total joy and a great smile that looks so different to many who are sick.

88. Thank you Rosie for your inspiring blog and thank you to the Three Amigos for sharing your stories so openly and honestly and reflecting to the world that dis-ease within the body cannot take away from the Soul’s wisdom and light shining throughout, no matter what, when we have embraced and live the truth of who we are.

89. Every time I look at the accompanying photo I am blown away by the love, joy and light emanating from these Three Amigos they are such an inspiration to all of us to embrace true living.

90. Such an inspiring reflection that you have shared

91. This illness is a choice – like any other – to embrace what is being offered and look at how we are living. This blog highlights the fact that it is also about the community coming together to support each other and not be in sympathy but rather to provide a reflection that we can be more.

92. There is no ‘one size fits all’ treatment that works for every patient, not necessarily in terms of medication as particular drugs are specific for particular illnesses, but in how we need to eat, sleep, exercise, rest, work, not work etc. during this time to best support ourselves.

    1. I like this because it takes me out of my search for the one ‘right’ thing that will fix/answer everything and into the understanding that it is in a responsive and respectful relationship with my body that I will be wisely guided as to how to move, eat, exercise, rest etc.

93. There are many people who outlive their cancer-induced life expectancy but how many of them look as good as these?

94. This is great Rosie, and adding to what you have shared there is no regrets from these amigos, as each of them feel complete in what they have lived this life, with everyone they interact with.

95. “have a joy within that I love to share with everyone I meet and show there is another way to live, The Way of The Livingness!” This says it all and is an inspiration to live to the full every moment.

96. Rosie it blows me away to see and feel the incredible love, light and joy from these three elders. That despite them having Cancer they look and feel more vibrant and alive than most of us who don’t have cancer.

    1. You can have people who have huge bank balances but do not have love in their life and they are poor compared to someone with love. Equally you can have someone who may appear to have a healthy body but if it void of love it is not healthy whereas here we have three loving people who look like the picture of health and yet they have cancer. To me true love is more precious and healthy than anything.

97. Wow, the vibrancy and joy in this photograph, it really is something else. Many middle aged people do not look as alive as you do.

    1. I agree, many, many, many do not look as alive and vibrant.

       1. I think you would have to go a long way to find people living with cancer as radiant as these and still living life to the full.

98. If this is not a testament that our Soul is what supersedes our body, our Soul is what truly defines all that we are, I don’t know what is. What more proof do we need that we are Souls first, enhoused in a body. A body that is not to be discredited in any way for the intelligence and wisdom that our bodies hold therein is essential to be honored and listened to for us to live implused and in connection to our Soul, in order for us to live who we are and the well-being we are designed to live. Thank you Rosie for sharing this, the real evidence of how our Soul is always calling for us to live the light and power of who we are regardless of whatever stage or state we find ourselves in in life. And deepest thanks and appreciation to the Three Amigos for so openly sharing your journey of healing and empowerment with us all, it is so greatly needed.

    1. I have sat next to a family member whilst they passed over and at the point of their death it was starkly apparent that what had filled them up until the point of their passing, was no longer in their body. I was absolutely amazed at how quickly the body started to collapse in on itself and at how obvious it was that their very life force had totally left their body and moved on. I actually found the process very comforting, as it supported me to really see that our bodies are truly only vehicles for the soul.

       1. What an insightful observation and awareness this passing-over showed you… definitely reassuring and confirming that everything is energy, and that there is more to life…

99. There is so much joy in the eyes of each person in the photo, something we are not used to seeing in people diagnosed with cancer. This is a massive game changer, living evidence that there is something every powerful to tap into within our selves that when embraced and honoured, ignites a vital love that flows out even in the face of such a challenging disease.

100. It is so clear from this story that health is not limited to a lack of illness or disease, nor just to our physical body. There is so much more to us than we have tended to acknowledge or address. The beauty of the Esoteric Modalities offered by Universal Medicine is that all these other layers are taken care of and we are honoured and supported in the totality of the grandness that is our true essence.

101. I don’t think there is anyone who would read this and not be utterly inspired and ignited to not take life for granted… better still, to not take who we are for granted and the body we have. We are so much more and yes, I firmly know that we return once the passover process completes, but why wait till we are dying to live who we are without reservation or apology – we have the chance in every breath, now, to be all of who we are in all that we do. Can you tell I’m inspired?

102. Thank you for sharing these stories. Often people with cancer have an unsettled feeling about them but reading the words of these ‘three amigos’ there is no sense of them missing out on life or regret of the things they will not see or do.

103. What a trio of amazing role models for society of how illness and disease can be with its true understanding and clearing offered to us in our healing with out the fighting or giving up so often seen. A joyful photo of the beauty of ageing inspirational offering all that is possible.

104. Your appreciation of these three people is very inspiring. There is so much for our elders to show us – an elder choosing to live their last years in absolute full, gets us all to pick up our own game, at whatever age we might be. But if they are stuck in homes, glued to a TV, with the life totally drained out of them, then of course we all have a deeply negative view of old age – meaning that when we too get there, we too will also give up. I want to live every last moment of my life, as it is all just a preparation for the next.

     1. When we chose to view old age as something less rather than a new beginning are we looking through our binoculars the wrong way?

        1. I would suggest that every single moment is in fact a new beginning irrespective of age and that as soon as we have put any time-line down on our lives, then we are missing the bigger picture. And yet everything about the world; birthdays, things we are allowed to do at certain ages, landmark birthdays, retirement etc..they all keep us on that narrow-viewed, lineal path.

105. Thank you Rosie for shining the spotlight on these three stories. I am struck by the responsibility of living our last months and years like this. Oh so easy to give up, shut down and fade away…but that is a choice that we then have to come back with. Alternatively we can celebrate our way out of this life…to leap back into our next; full of fire, commitment, delicacy and tenderness.

     1. I totally agree Otto if we could only fully grasp that the way we live this life right until our dying day is what we return to, (not in the material sense) we would be more about love, life and the preciousness of each moment, like the three Amigos are clearly us showing here.

        1. I’ve always noticed how many people start to go to church when they get older. Is this because they are beginning to feel that there is perhaps more and thus they are searching for some kind of guidance or learning? Or is it because they are feeling the irresponsibility of their lives and are thus desperately trying to curry back some favour, clean their slate? It’s probably different for each. The point being, that we do innately know that this life isn’t our only life.

106. All I can say when looking at this photo and the three glowing people in it is that if cancer is an ‘eating away’ of the body, then what is being ‘eaten away’ here can only be accumulated poison and what is left behind is a much more light-filled form.

107. The living example of these 3 people is a model for all the world to see.

108. Now this is a blog should be in all the seniors magazine throughout Australia, indeed the world.

     1. Or how about the offices of cancer research centres?! Although it is unlikely that they’d allow such a bright mirror reflecting the gigantic waste of money that they have facilitated. Zillions of dollars and the rates of cancer are still going up proving that we absolutely have not got to the true root cause of cancer.

109. If this isn’t proof how needed The Way of the Livingness and the Ancient Wisdom is in todays society I really don’t know what is. Where else could you find such vibrant people with cancer that are still living life to the full.

     1. Another total game-changer from The Way of the Livingness.

     2. Agreed Kev it shows exactly what is possible when we embrace truth and a deep level of care and love for ourselves.

110. Illness and disease has a purpose and if we allow ourselves to see this and work with the blessing that it brings, then it allows the process to be transformed completely. If we get stuck in seeing the illness and disease as a nuisance to all that we want to do, then we cannot see past the experience in order to embrace the true healing on offer.

111. How we choose to handle life is a key factor in how we will then experience the various challenges that we are faced with in life. These three exemplary cases that Rosie has presented are deeply inspiring and when you meet each of these people you get to realise that they have cancer but they are not the cancer, that they are not fighting the disease but rather have embraced the healing that comes with it and in this can allow themselves to live life rather than exist. What role models to to be inspired by in our lives, regardless of having an illness or a disease or not.

112. ‘Accepting and embracing this disease has allowed me to have a joy within that I love to share with everyone I meet and show there is another way to live, The Way of The Livingness!”’ I love what all three are bringing Why fight what your body is telling you and life is not yet over but is to be lived in full to the end.

113. I have seen so many people transform through experiencing an illness/disease. This occurs when the person who is ill wants to understand and change the pattern/way of living that brought about the illness/disease. There is so much more that we need to understand about illness and disease.

     1. This is so important to have shared because I have known many people who do not want to know and who have identified with the illness concerned. When we are open to understanding more about illness and disease and what it is showing us then we are open to evolving.

        1. Yes Michelle, this is by far the way that the majority approach an illness. The main aim being to get back to how they were before they got sick. But what is important to realise here is that it is exactly because of how they were before they got ill that made them ill in the first place. Not until we are willing to truly heal our past hurts and restablish a new way forward will we truly heal.

        2. One of the biggest keys that unlocked all of this for me was to feel the truth of reincarnation and to understand that how I leave is what I come back to. Being ill is simply a way of the body clearing excess stagnant energy we have accumulated by living loveless choices. The evolution happens with the choices you make after the clearing has occured – there being more space after the body has cleared to be and express the love we are – or not – as we choose.

114. Cancer and any illness is a blessing and a healing – but how many of us actually stop to feel this and allow it as a process?

115. A beautifully refreshing take on Cancer Rosie! Thank you so much for sharing and thank you also to the three amigos for their inspiration and openness to share their story which shows there is another way to handle such situations!

116. I can hear the purpose in all of their comments and approaches. Perhaps this is a key element of health and wellbeing and not so much the absence of disease.

117. You are right, it is extraordinary how well they look, there is an ease in their bodies that is remarkable and inspiring. We don’t know how we will respond to a terminal diagnosis but I would choose to approach it as they have because clearly this brings the most ease in the body.

118. A documentary needs to be made and theirs stories made available to all those that are not coping with cancer so well. These guys are just so very inspirational!

119. It makes total sense to equip yourself with all of the resources and tools that make you feel supported and amazing, at all points in time and especially during a period of illness.

120. Medical or health professional caring for Nick, Ingrid and Susan must be learning a great deal from them. How to be well and live with a terminal diagnosis? The 3 amigos are showing that it is not only possible but that is possible for anyone.

121. What if the photo of the three amigos and their story was in all cancer treatment waiting rooms! These are three giant waves in the pond of life that could affect so many.

     1. So needed Steve! How inspiring is this to see them glowing as they do where their quality of light and glow goes unaffected by the healing and clearing of the body processes.

122. The initimate support from Serge Benhayon these three have experienced is a rare thing in today’s world. One that offers a reflection of Truth and Love where he supports you to really feel exactly where you are, what you have chosen, what got you there so you can learn and not repeat ways of living that and what it is you truly need to focus on to rebuild yourself. This absolute love and dedication is beyond remarkable yet Serge makes it super normal and the standard of what we can all be living if we do choose it.

123. An inspirational sharing and amazing to read and appreciate these three changing the face of cancer and how you live and the joy in life carried till the end. A beautiful sharing of the appreciation of the wisdom support and reflection brought to you and the reflection that is life changing to the world.

124. Esoteric healing modalities enables the body to clear from the root cause back to the visible outer layer of physical symptoms… and in combination with conventional medicine, you get what we see in ‘The Three Amigos” … A ‘new normal’ or standard of the disease process. How incredible this combination is for the end of life – not just for the terminal ill person, but also for their families to see their loved ones managing well, and the whole community benefits, on the potential reduction on the burden of public health care costs … There’s a win-win for all.

125. I just googled images of terminal cancer patients. The large majority of them are depicted in a hospital bed looking battered. The image on this blog is very different.

126. I just thought that as well, just how shining Susan, Nick and Ingrid look and feel and it is not only how they look but their values on health in accepting the diagnoses and then taking all steps to deeply care for and support themselves. Yes I agree they are definitely an example for us all.

127. Thank-you for reflecting on your blog how these three amigos inspire you Rosie.
     Indeed I can feel no withdrawal or victimisation in their eyes and words, these are people who are looking out at the world with a fresh embrace of the training ground that is our day to day life.
     Elder role models for us all.

128. “Have a look at these three elders who are all around the same age and what do you see? To me, when I see them, I see the wisdom of their life, I see the glow in them..” – yes Rosie, and i can see, and love to see too as inspiration the beauty and vitality that lays in acceptance through understanding. The joy from this is contagious.

129. “enjoy the best of both worlds, what Western Medicine has to offer and what the Ancient Wisdom has always known about healing and the truth of who they are…” And from the photo, all three are certainly looking like their bodies are en-joy, of the benefits of both Western and Esoteric medicine.

130. It’s never about living perfectly, but living in accordance to what we observe and feel to be true for ourselves is an incredible foundation.

131. That is truly amazing – typically with cancer comes the connotation of a decline in health, sometimes very rapidly. These three role model a totally different way of living with illness.

132. What wise words from the three amigos, living and loving life, still working and knowing more about how their body feels is a great inspiration.

     1. Yes, an inspiration for everybody.

133. Beautiful to feel that there is not one ounce of victim or poor me, but a livingness and commitment to stay true to themselves right up to the end.

     1. Agreed, and this is evidently felt by looking at their photo.

134. A very beautiful and inspiring sharing, thank you Rosie, Nick, Ingrid and Susan. And a great inspiration how to live life in full.. we are all ‘terminal’ in some way or another.

135. It is inspiring how these 3 do glow and have a real sense of wellbeing about them even though they have cancer. Not that they are putting on a front or pretending to be fine when they’re not but energetically you can feel they’re connected deeply with themselves.

136. So many people give up when they receive a cancer diagnosis and this blog is an inspiration for us all to read. Just looking at the faces of these three you can feel inspired.

137. How beautiful, a trio showing us all that there is a different way to be in this world.

138. Looking at this picture you would never know they have cancer with their vitality, joy and presence. Clearly the support of Serge Benhayon and the Universal Medicine treatments are working wonders along side the Western medicine treatments as well.

139. There is such value in this article. It is a shining example of how people can live with cancer and live in joy. It is not a death sentence for the soul, in fact it can wake the soul up and allow it to shine brighter.

     1. Yes – this is gorgeous because there is a joyful acceptance that the end of this life is not the end, but a new beginning for greater evolution – a clearing in this life to be more soulful in the next incarnation. It is so inspiring to read of three people with a terminal illness embracing life and all it can offer, continuing to work and being in service for others.

140. I love coming to this blog just to see the photo of these three glowing people! If ever it is needed, they are proof that anecdotal evidence is a vital component of understanding what actually supports our health. A statistic on people who survives 5 or 10 years beyond cancer may be useful in the big picture, but it is people who are living well despite cancer that we need to be looking at to guide our approiach.

141. I just paused to enjoy the gorgeous photo of the three amigos. Their closeness and joy of being together is palpable, it shows us the love they have for one another and the intimacy they share is entirely possible beyond what we would consider family (blood family) to be.

142. The photo of these three elders and the joy they are expressing is proof life is a journey of discovery and not just a destination!

143. Vitality, health and ‘well-being’ are so pursued in this world, but as this sharing shows they can be found not in drugs, books or courses but in the quality we choose. Are you living with poison or precious purpose?

144. Without reading a word, this image alone speaks to us of the miracle we each have access to when we live an earthly life deeply connected with our Soul. These bodies sing the truth of who we are and no evidence based double blind randomly controlled (and I do mean ‘controlled’) trial can ever replicate what is seen and felt when looking at these three remarkable yet ordinary amigos. Deeply inspiring to behold.

145. There is a lot of terminal illness around and many of us see it as being dead right from the diagnosis, but these three inspirations show that there is a way to live full of life, even if there is a significant probability that they may die in the near future. Making life meaningful to the last day, isn’t that how we could all live?

     1. YES!! and what better role models than these three amazing points of inspiration.

146. To not be dead before we really are… this wakes me up a lot to consider the quality with which I approach and live every day… very inspiring call, thank you Rosie, Nick, Ingrid and Susan.

147. I was lucky enough to catch up with Nick on his recent visit to north Queensland and as always it was a joy to be in his company. And it was super inspiring to be with someone who has cancer and has a deeper understanding and acceptance of the healing that is taking place and to feel his vitality in amongst his body going through the cancer, was a joy.

148. Great that their “joy … is infectious”. we can all do with a dose of that medicine.

149. I have known a fair few people over the years that have had cancer, some fatal some not but have never seen people handle it in such a positive way as the 3 amigos, very inspirational not only to cancer patients but to all people with an illness or disease.

     1. I agree kevmchardy. Too often we see people ‘fighting’ cancer and as a result of this posture, their bodies become eroded and battle weary, a light slowly fading. Yet when you look at these three people, we get a very different reflection and that is, while the body may weaken, there is an inner light that just keeps burning deeper and deeper into the Universe and beyond, that completely exposes the falsity of ‘death’ and ‘dying’. Truly inspirational to see and feel.

150. It’s amazing that in no way is this a sad tale, but an incredibly inspiring article for ALL, not just those living with an illness but also all of us who naturally have family and friends going through sickness at different times.

151. Stories like this need to be shared far and wide so that others may see another way of dealing with such illnesses and diseases… that they don’t need to be devastating. Joy and vitality may be lived whilst going through each stage in development. The three amigos, here show just what can be done.

152. This is just such an amazing testament to how life can be so very different to our current status quo or ‘normal’. I look forward to the day when living with an illness in this way is indeed normal again.

153. Amazing… who would think by looking at the photo that the ‘Three Amigo’s’ would have any illness at all… they all look so vibrant and full of health… certainly shows how the way you live is your medicine.

     1. I know it really is extraordinary!

     2. They certainly do – a win for themselves, those close to them and a testament to The Way of The Livingness.

154. I have seen that that people make illness and disease a secret and especially with cancer, where they start to use short code and whispering voices in communicating about it. So definitely it then becomes the little secret if we do not talk openly about it and with that we make an important part of who we are secret for ourselves. To me this makes not sense. Why should we live a life in separation?

155. What an incredible photo showing the possibility of what can be lived with the big “C”. Inspiring, radiant and open human beings living their way. The Way of the Livingness!

156. The inner glow that radiates from the 3 people mentioned in this blog is undeniable and deeply inspiring.

157. What a support the three amigos are to each other to be able to change the way they are, without sympathy or sorrow, but understanding their path and the healing that illness brings.

158. What is so remarkable about these three ‘Amigos’, is that they look more vibrant and healthy than many people who do not have a diagnosed illness. There is a brightness and clarity about them all which is not commonly seen in people in general.

159. Such an amazing reflection to support ourselves and all those around us. A way of living and healing what ever the body presents us and not be a victim of the ill-ness and dis-ease.

160. This article shows so beautifully that cancer can be a condition of the body that does not have to be a whole way of life or the identity of the person, that you can remain who you are and that you can remain who you are out in the world, that cancer does not have to mean giving up on life or on contributing to life, that we can allow our bodies their processes while we continue to shine.

161. None of the tree battles or fights their cancer, yet they manage amazing lives.

162. When I look at these three gorgeous elders, I see no fight or fear in their eyes but absolute joy and vibrancy. This is not what I see in public, because when I look around I see that people look tired, unhappy and lifeless. What you’ve share Rosie is incredible and it is amazing that the world gets to see these three gorgeous amigos living life.

163. Just one person to have embraced life with cancer in this way is inspiring, but three just confirms the power in The Way of The Livingness and how possible it is to achieve joy and purpose in life, no matter what is going on for you.

164. In both the given up and warrior/’fight on’ response to being diagnosed with an illness we can actually cause the body more harm than healing through neglect or pushing ourselves too hard. There is a lot of power in acceptance, increasing our commitment to looking after ourselves and honouring what’s taking place in the body, and then seeking treatment (or not if this is our choice) from this.

     1. Yes, on a purely physical level it drastically reduces our stress level and gives the body much more resources to apply as it sees fit.

165. What is cool about these three and what they are sharing is that cancer doesn’t have to be this fight that you have to win. I have seen many in this approach and on reflection on the ways it is possible to go through cancer, it’s clear to me which one is supporting us to heal and deal with the root issue and which one is not. If this is not healed, then it can only manifest either in the same place or somewhere else in the body which I can see is related to the different stages of cancer, i.e. 1,2,3,4 takes place.

166. When we recognise that illness and disease is a way for our bodies to clear that which does not belong, the taken on energies that are as poison to our bodies, we possibly can feel illness and disease as a blessing, because we will be freed from a poison that keeps us trapped in a way of living life that is not who we are from nature. Just remember how you were as a little child, free of the burden life can have on people but instead open and radiant, full of love and especially embracing life in full with all the means you have.

167. When we truly understand what life is about we do not need that bucket list but instead embrace life and enjoy it in full for whatever it brings to us, it always can be enjoyed as a learning and advancement in our evolution back to soul.

     1. The bucket list of distractions leads us further from knowing the quality that is offered when we connect to who we are and the deep joy we can bring each other in the most simplest interactions.

        1. I can sense that deep joy you are talking about Natalliya. Even when for instance I would be called to account for something I would have done. It will give me the opportunity to look at what was driving me but too that possibly I already knew I was not performing or behaving to the standards I hold within. Thus joyful? Yes because I have been given back my true standards, the standards and integrity that are the natural ingredients of the core of my being.

168. “Make it about dignity.” I love this advice as I see loads of very sick people in my line of work and they often choose to hold on to life, wanting to live longer rather than look at the quality of life they are living.

     1. The ‘holding on or “beating the disease” keeps us on the back foot from deep appreciating what is on offer in the moment.

        1. Exactly Natalliya we are unable to embrace our next cycle fully and all that is on offer.

169. The beliefs we have been running with in respect with death and dying as well as with illness and disease have been hampering humanity’s ability to truly observe and understand the role of the ongoing cycles we live with. This has in turn impeded our embracing of the expanded awareness and deepened level of responsibility this naturally inspires.
     The wonderful reflection and invitation to look deeper offered by this blog is priceless.

170. Living with cancer is an opportunity to be constantly aware of the body and honour its needs and feelings. People often call it a reawakening and a blessing as it brings them to a place where they connect to themselves in a new and deeper way and start to honour and love themselves. These three are a perfect example of this.

171. This is incredibly inspiring and healing to read; that disease and illness isn’t our body’s – or God’s- way of punishing us, but actually an opportunity to clear out all the stuff that doesn’t belong, and to learn how to live and to love living.

172. It feels like many of us have a picture about death being a nice comfortable process and that cancer is a cruel and painful way to die, in many cases cutting your days short too soon before you are ready. What these three wonderful role models show us is that cancer and death do not need to be viewed in this way and in fact it is our attitude and surrender to ourselves, our Soul and what life is presenting to us that matters most.

173. It’s lovely to read something which highlights the way that others live amazing lives, particularly given their overall health situation. The way these three people live goes against the grain of how people perceive cancer patients to live. Very inspiring.

174. Looking at the photo, it would not be possible to detect that these beautiful three have cancer in any way shape or form. There is no ‘greyness’ feeling of defeat, embattlement, sorrow, victimhood or devastation. Only a feeling of joy, openness and a vitality that is astounding considering the norm today. If I didn’t trust the writer, or know these people personally it could be easy to say this a ‘photo-shop’ or a photo not taken currently. The fact that these three can live with cancer in the quality they are, shows the rest of the world how we can approach disease in a completely different way.

175. What is remarkable here is that cancer is not seen as the enemy to be feared and fought, but more so a process we can embrace for all the blessings it offers in terms of ridding our body of the energetic poison we have been carting around in our spiritual bodies for centuries across our various lives. And while we may be a long way off accepting that this is the case, it does not stop this being true.

     1. When we choose to feel the impact of this poison and the riddling of the ill- ease we have lived in we are offered a greater healing.

176. In looking at this photo of the three amigos, there is such joy in their cheeks and a beauty radiating from their eyes that communicates the richness and their connection to their inner hearts.

177. Its testimonies like this that I find the most inspiring. The truth of what is offered by the Universal Medicine and the esoteric modalities used in conjunction with conventional medicine is truly remarkable.
     How common is it for those with cancer to hold a vitality, joy for life and an inner spark? Susan, Nick and Ingrid buck the trend and show there is a way of living life that is different from the current norm. Who would not want a piece of what they are having? Their way needs to be shared far and wide.

178. The joy and aliveness in the faces of the three beautiful souls you speak of in this article is undoubtable. It is inspiring to read this and feel the quality of life that can be chosen. It also challenges my complacency and how I can accept and appreciate so much more deeply what is constantly being offered to us in life.

179. I can only imagine what it must be like to be told you have cancer and have a limited time to live. How these three are living is showing us that the way we deal with cancer as the patient does not have to be the way that is expected or the current picture of what cancer looks like.

180. I love what Ingrid shares about her approach to life with a terminal illness that “there is no giving up”. Yet it’s not the fight (to beat cancer) so many would be tempted by but the commitment to listen to her body and deepen her connection within.

181. This article is great to change our whole attitude we have to an illness, especially a terminal diagnosis, fighting it to the bitter end or being strong and determined. These three people are continuing to live well, continuing to be involved with society, continuing to deepen their connection to themselves. We have so much we can feel differently in the way we view cancer.

182. The picture says it all, beauty, vitality and love radiating out, blessing us all.

183. I love what Susan said about the bucket list because yes why would we only do things we like when we are almost going to die?

184. What you describe here defeats how we think life is or needs to be. We learn to see life in a certain way and thus often do not see that there could be another way. And this shows that there is another way as the way that is known to us of living with a terminal disease.

185. This blog offers us the possibility that Cancer itself may be our ‘amigo’. Seeing illness as a great support? Now that’s a huge shift from how we currently live.

     1. Yes, What you share turns our relationship with illness and disease completely on its head!… and this is evident in the three amigos.

186. What an inspiration Susan, Nick and Ingrid are! By looking at their recent photographs The Way of The Livingness is proof in the pudding, so to speak. You couldn’t make up such well-ness whilst having the most debilitating of diseases.

187. Each one of these cancer cases haver embraced not just the western medicine but also along side that they have supported themselves with the modalities of Universal Medicine and living the principles of The Way of The Livingness and its undeniable that it is working for them. Worth taking into consideration and even doing a study on I say.

188. This photo certainly burst the image-bubble that one would normally associate with a person living with cancer… And is a true testimony of living esoterically

189. Definitely inspiring simple living – thanks for sharing with us Rosie. It’s a summary to live everyday disease ridden or not — a livingness in the body. Summary:
     healing the truth of who they are; “Ultimately it’s your own choice but make it about dignity”, “Deeply surrender” and “Deeply rest”; Keep it simple; I listen to my body in every aspect of my life and live accordingly; I am contributing to my community and am committed to life till the day I pass over; .. make the remaining time I have to be one of purpose; and Accepting and embracing this disease has allowed me to have a joy within. Inspiring elders!

190. Thank you, Rosie, this is truly inspiring. When we align to the soul there can be joy no matter what the body needs to process and let go of.

191. I felt such joy seeing the three amigos and reading your blog Rosie. Living with joy and cancer simultaneously is natural when you live in connection with your essence.

192. There is nothing in the world that we can’t handle when we are living connected to ourselves.

193. When we meet people like these three, there is an instant calmness in the body, we can feel the settled acceptance and the grace with which they live.

194. That photo gives me goosebumps as it is of three people who seem terminally ill and yet is very joyful.

195. Cancer in our society has become the unspoken Grim Reaper, a silent assassin who moves amongst us and who all of us silently pray that we never meet. And yet cancer or any illness for that matter does not need to be seen this way. The Three Amigos demonstrate so beautifully that there is another way to respond and live with illness. A way that is full of purpose, vitality and evolution.

196. What I love about the way Serge Benhayon presents is that he always leaves the choice up to us. He encourages us to feel deeply what is going on in our bodies, to treat our bodies with absolute respect, with tenderness, and that is exactly what all three of these people do, take more tender care of themselves than ever before.

197. I love what Nick shares here about the importance to deeply surrender and deeply rest. It’s in that surrender that more love comes into the body, we are developing the marker within in preparation for the next cycle.

     1. Yes, this works just as well for healthy people in my experience.

        1. Yes, mine too Christoph

198. These three are certainly turning the tide on how cancer can be with the principles taught by Serge Benhayon of The Way of The Livingness. Taking responsibility for our choices and re-imprinting ones that have not served us or our bodies is the only way for true health and well-being. You can clearly see that these guys are full of Joy from this photo.

199. It is clear from these examples that the best recipe for health is a combination of Western Medicine, Universal Medicine and the Ageless Wisdom, three disciplines that empower us to understand multi-dimensional purpose of illness and how to live in a way that deeply supports our bodies to deal with the situation.

200. These three beautiful people are reflecting a completely different way for how to live with a terminal illness. For a start they all look so healthy and vibrant! No ‘poor me’ or looking for someone to blame. They are living a life in full, growing, learning and evolving – right to the end, which will serve into their next life.

201. We need to break the mould of what we have created, how we have accepted the way we see and the roles we play in illness and disease. The three amigos are showing us all there is another way!

202. It is just so amazing to see these guys living life to the full setting a new precedent of how we can deal with what ever may come at us in the form of disease.

     1. Isn’t it just Kev. The vibrancy, Joy emanated and lives lived of these three amigos is certainly presenting a different way to deal with illness and disease.

203. Wow- it is a living miracle how “the three amigos” are looking so vibrant, alive & beaming despite living with cancer. They are definitely setting a new foundation for how cancer victims can choose to live their lives in full until their time is up; instead of the norm which is giving up on life because the medical profession has deemed their cancer as terminal and incurable, with a set timeframe to live.

204. The Way of The Livingness – quality first, everything else second guarantees the second to be exquisite. What better way to live and die can there possibly be?!

     1. I agree Alex, when we make life about quality first, life comes to us. There is no trying but a surrendering to the what is next. It is then no wonder cancer patients are living longer than what has been predicted following their innermost and living life to the full.

     2. I so agree, if we make life about quality / love first, everything that comes after is taken care of.

205. When we have returned to the lived understanding that we are a Son of God on Earth, then every single experience that we have in life gets transformed.

206. There is no set model for how we have to live with an illness or disease; we can carve a path that supports us and allows us to grow, learn and deepen relationships in the process.

207. “I feel the words of God through Serge Benhayon are the real reason I have coped so well and lived much longer than the doctors predicted. Serge said, “Ultimately it’s your own choice but make it about dignity”.” And we can all learn a lot form these simple words.

208. To have cancer and live with as much joy as these three are emanating is inspiring indeed. We don’t have to put on a brave face or hide from the world when we are accepting and embracing the situation in which we find ourselves. A learning here for all of us, whether diagnosed with cancer or not.

209. So many people are ‘well’ yet horribly unhappy in themselves, these three are diseased yet so full of joy. If that isn’t something to explore and examine, I don’t know what is.

210. It is inspiring to see and feel three beautiful people with terminal illnesses so committed to deeply honouring themselves, living life to the full and still serving humanity.

211. What’s remarkable about this blog is a trio of elders, not talking about what is missing in life, but the beauty and fullness of being alive. Precious.

212. It is an awesome accomplishment that the most infectious thing about these three people is their joy. Our usual expectation is one of anxiety and fear when facing such an illness as cancer, but this is clearly not the case here. The Way of The Livingness seems to be that extra special spoonful of love that makes the orthodox medicine go down.

213. ‘…whilst I have done just that I feel the words of God through Serge Benhayon are the real reason I have coped so well and lived much longer than the doctors predicted…’ true care from Serge in his words are life changing in so many life situations and it’s beautiful that they have supported in this way here .

214. What an inspiration these three are. Whatever our ‘diagnosis’ we all have the opportunity to bring true change to how we live if we are willing and open to make such changes, for could it be that it is the way we have lived before we got sick that is the reason for why we got sick in the first place?

215. When I look into the eyes of The Three Amigos it confirms to me the continuous thread of life that weaves its way through all of us.

216. We can build a network of support and that’s what stood out for me from your blog Rosie – all three of the ‘amigos’ had a wealth of support from resources, practitioners, medical professionals and family, and developing this is 100% worth it.

217. This is so inspiring.

218. Today in my travels I met a lady who has also had a kind of cancer and she, rather like these three, has a positive attitude to life, has made adjustments and is still working. After a cancer diagnosis we cannot carry on exactly as before because we have been given a warning, an opportunity to clear past patterns of behaviour that could be what led to the illness, but with that awareness we look after ourselves and carry on with whatever day to day activities we can manage.

     1. What you are sharing Carmel is also life is not ended when you get the diagnosis that you have cancer. The 3 amigos are beautifully preparing for their passing over and their next life. Something all did in the days of the ancient Egypt.

219. “I love my life, I love who I am…” – is this not a true measure of health and wellbeing?

     1. And it is possible to have that level of wellbeing with impaired levels of physical health.

     2. Yes it is Janet, and powerful measure for all of us.

220. It is not common to see young people looking this healthy and so genuinely open, rare seeing older people so settled in their body and so joyful, and almost unheard of having people living with cancer look so vibrant. This to me is a picture of true health, cancer or not.
     There is obviously something being offered here well worth studying.

221. Every time I read this blog I am deeply inspired. It is so true that we have this mentality that we have to fight cancer based from a security and the fear of dying yet this blog offers a different approach where the cancer is embraced, seen as a clearing from the body and something to deeply appreciate and learn from.

     1. A super inspiring blog that offers us a moment to be given a choice that is far from the doom and gloom that we can drop into when facing the ‘c’ word.

222. Thank you for sharing the inspiration of the ‘three amigos’ for they are living proof of the validity that The Way of The Livingness enables the quality of life that they express is achievable by all.

223. “I see the wisdom of their life, I see the glow in them, like something is radiating out of them and I see a joy that is infectious.” I see this too Rosie. It is evident that all three have tapped into a genuine vitality and joy deep within them that is untouched by the physical nature of the illness they have. They present us with a new understanding and living example about health and the purpose of disease, one that is well worth sitting up and taking notice of.

224. What formative and powerful statements from three individuals who have not given up on the importance of what we bring to the world. When we accept the fact that time doesn’t exist, every moment can last a lifetime.

225. For me the photo of the three amigos speaks volumes, the effervescent vibrancy of all three of them is absolutely stunning.

226. It is an inspiration to see older people looking joyful and full of life, let alone when they are living with cancer. Unfortunately, in our society, it has become the dream to cruise out of life in your later years. We admire the early retiree, the timeshares, cruises that they get to go on and general lack of responsibilities with all their spare time. These 3 show that cruising out of life is not the way, and will be growing and challenging themselves to the end.

227. Such an inspirational piece about three inspirational people. A cancer diagnosis can take over and overwhelm whole families, but here there are three people emanating joy, embracing life and taking the deepest care of themselves throughout.

228. What a blessing it is to have people like the three amigos sharing and being open how it is to live with cancer and to present that being honest, living with and accepting the cancer and what is actually on offer when this is presented in the body. Amazing.

     1. I agree, Natalie, it is a blessing and every time I look at their gorgeous photo I can feel their joy of life reflected back to me. These three, and many other students of The Way of The Livingness are certainly re-writing the medical books when it comes to living with an illness or disease. But how long will it take the medical profession to wake up to the true healing that’s on offer here?

229. The three amigos in the photo above show us how to be with illness and disease, which is to accept it, seek healing and never underestimate the power of loving and nurturing yourself.

     1. I love this Elizabeth – “never underestimate the power of loving and nurturing yourself”. It is powerful as it supports a settlement in the body with regards to your relationship with yourself that takes the fight out. This alone is a powerful tool for the support of health and well being.

230. When we engage with the reality of life and don’t run away from it we find a way with the love of those around us to fully engage with the depth of wisdom that comes from within our body. We are never left alone without support unless it has been our way to isolate ourselves from God and humanity. The more I have embraced life and the world around me the more there is to appreciate and realise the magic of the Universe forever calling us to return.

231. Thanks for sharing this Rosie, this is so beautiful and such a different approach to terminal disease, this really should be studied as it could support so many people with similar conditions. Mostly what I see is people either fighting the disease or giving up, but to surrender to and embracing it is a very unique way of dealing with illness.

232. I know many people who are living a much lesser life than these three amigos – people who have been diagnosed with no terminal illness but whose bodies are riddled with the dis-ease of numbing, checking out and giving up on themselves and life. We the living – with or without cancer – have a lot to learn from Susan, Nick, Ingrid and Rosie. Thank you, all four of you, for sharing your livingness.

233. Your most awe-some blog, Rosie, is also testimony to the incredibly loving, tender, playful and joyful way a daughter and friend can live alongside 3 amigos who are ‘living with cancer with ease’. Not only are Nick, Susan and Ingrid a gorgeous reflection for humanity, you are too – especially in how you are able to live with the pure joy that oozes from this blog, being surrounded by three people who you are obviously in very close relationship with knowing they are living with terminal illnesses yet your blog is bursting with life.

234. Rosie this blog is so powerful and deeply inspiring. A blessing for humanity to know and understand disease from a different perspective – that it is possible to genuinely emanate joy and love from within – far away from the usual struggle and despair that people with cancer can experience.

235. Superb post Rosie, and three superb stories of great inspiration from your “amigos” embracing the true riches of The Way of The Livingness. Those photos say or emanate – every thing; and the vitality that can be during terminal illness. Revolutionary, and worth a deep study or PhD.

236. When life is imbued with purpose it takes on an entirely different quality and if this is our loving priority then these 3 amazing people are showing that even with cancer we can have a more joyful life than most who may not have an illness at all!

237. What an amazing blog and in the photograph of Ingrid, Nick and Susan, what I see is a radiance and joy. This is such an inspirational blog it should be shared for others to know there is a different way and surely the medical scientists should be studying these people?

238. The word ‘cancer’ is often seen and experienced as being something to be scared of. But these three awesome people have shown us that this is actually not true. We can continue to live and love even though we may have a terminal condition. And we can actually appreciate the clearing and healing that this is giving us. The condition or illness is not who we are. We can be ourselves and literally watch what is happening to our bodies without emotion and without attachment.

239. The Way of The Livingness is evidently the missing piece in our medical kit, as evidenced by these three gorgeous people who are vibrant and full of life even though they have cancer. Our quality of lifestyle has a huge impact on our wellbeing and is one of our most essential medicines.

240. ‘They are leading the way in how to live with cancer and not be dead before they really are.’ Exactly, these three have adjusted their lifestyle to support their current physical health and are still living full lives as much as they physically can. The openness in their faces and the joy they visibly share with us is inspiring.

241. This shows how we live life under a tarpaulin of difficulty and misery that needn’t be there. Time to cast it off, hoist our sails and sail fair whether the weather is rough or still.

     1. ‘Aye Aye Captain!’ Wise words Joseph – we can choose to live in fullness whatever the ‘weather’ may be

242. Seeing a terminal illness as a blessing is not ‘normal’ at the current time and these three are leading the way in changing attitudes to cancer because they have not given up in any way shape or form, they are continuing with their lives, allowing for lower physical capabilities but staying mentally fully alert and keen to serve their local community.

     1. Well said Carmel, it seems the not giving up is the key. These three are showing the world and every cancer organisation that having a terminal illness does not mean you are to be written off and managed until the end.

243. To live life to the fullest whilst having terminal cancer and looking so well must be somewhat of a surprise for the medical profession who treat these three. Two members of my family died of lung cancer and they did not look anything like the people in the picture.

244. We can actually feel dead inside even when we don’t have cancer. What these three beautiful souls show us is that our vitality and health does not have to be affected when we choose to reconnect to our soulful essence and that when we do, the joy of this connection can support us through the most intense illnesses with immense grace and dignity.

245. What an amazing trio! Anyone who comes into contact with these three has to be super inspired. It just shows what we can do if we put our awareness into practice. We can choose life in every choice that we make.

246. During a period of illness, relationships are such a crucial part of the process of healing.

247. “to live with cancer with ease’ this is the essence and comes with full acceptance and dignity. There is no ra ra or drama, simply this is the way it is.

248. Two days after reading this, I was told by friends that a couple of people unknown to me had received a diagnosis of terminal cancer. I shared this blog as something to be passed on if they felt it would support their friends. Articles like this inspire us all, not just those living with cancer.

249. What is in truth wellbeing? What does the word ‘healthy’ mean? The world needs to hear about this story; three glorious and gorgeous human beings through the way they live are turning the tide on what it means to live wellbeing. We often associate the world ‘healthy’ with wellbeing yet what does this word ‘healthy’ truly mean when another has cancer yet is living life to the full?

250. In today’s society, isn´t it already so that some people seem dead, even without having a terminal disease?!

251. I attended a Wellbeing conference this week. We talked about the word ‘wellbeing’ and what that meant to us. Just imagine if I had put my hand up and said that we can live wellbeing and have cancer at the same time! Do you think anyone would have understood and agreed with me?! Yet if Susan, Nick and Ingrid had walked into the room we would not have been able to argue against the fact that these three people are living what is extraordinary; their commitment to life is incredible and deeply inspiring.

252. There isn’t an ounce of fight in Ingrid, Susan or Nick. Instead there is surrender, joy, love and embracing of life – all adding up to a very high quality of life and not the compromised quality and suffering that we are used to associating with cancer. Serge Benhayon and the Universal Medicine modalities introduce to us the loving reality of how illness and disease work – that is in fact a deeply healing and loving process. It is an entirely different way of looking at it, that leaves no room for fight or for giving up. Instead we have the opportunity to experience illness and disease as a process that is deeply loving and healing.

253. What if this blog was included in the information pack given to cancer patients? There is no need for this period to be the darkest hour for it is a time to shine the light brightly for all to feel and see. There are many groups of people that believe the end of life is a celebration! So, why should we not also celebrate and as these three have shown, that every moment of life, can be filled with purpose and joy!

     1. I agree Steve, I can only imagine what it is like to get the news that you have cancer but with how these guys are living, it doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom.

     2. So true Steve, these students of The Livingness are showing life as being truly purpose-full and joy-full.

254. No matter the way we have lived until the illness appeared, this is always a beautiful opportunity to deeply understand our past choices and heal the trend that has taken us to that point. Every situation is an offering to embrace more and more love in our life…

255. We are alive until our last breath. These three amigos show to us a great reflection; living with purpose is what sets a quality foundation for our life, and this is for all of us, whether we are sick or not.

256. Thankyou Rosie, they are an inspiration. Three very beautiful people living gracefully, understanding the true meaning of healing and reincarnation.

257. This is a profound sharing Rosie, one that lights my heart with joy as is reflected in the photo of the 3 gorgeous Amigos. A new-normal role model for all people diagnosed with illness and disease to learn from.
     “Now I don’t share this story for anyone to feel sad or sorry, quite the opposite in fact because it is so beautiful to have these three people in my life and watch them with their diagnoses, their doctors’ visits, and how they approach cancer”.

258. What a gorgeous reflection these three gorgeous people are giving to us, a very different way of living with cancer, so full of life and joy with true acceptance for what is being offered to them in their journey, thank you Rosie for such an inspiring sharing.

259. The Three Amigos are transmuting our understanding of what it means to have cancer, clearly demonstrating that there is tender and positive way to live with a life threatening condition as opposed to expending precious energy fighting it.

260. This makes life so simple. There is no secret. Nothing to obtain, Nothing to fix. Nothing to be. No ‘doing’ involved it is to just change the way of how we live .. our livingness. It really is that simple. This is such an inspiring blog showing us all that even with a terminal illness we can have joy, love, purpose and vitality.

261. Thanks, Rosie. The three amigos are gracefully reflecting to us all that joy and inspiration come from connecting to the eternal love of the soul, which is not affected by illness or disease.

     1. Sometimes the soul supports us by clearing that which does not belong in the body in the form of disease. If you understand and accept that, it is in fact a blessing to become sick to then move forward to be much clearer in the next life, or if you have not been taken out by it to be much clearer in this life. The moment you hold onto regret or grief or non accepting, what it is actually showing you, you are actually poisoning the process and not letting the clearing happen, that is fully on offer.

262. “there has been a real acceptance of their disease which allows them to live with cancer with ease and with no fight mentality” By not putting energy into fighting something that the body has simply offered as a clearing, there is an ease and acceptance that allows them to continue to live life to the full with a terminal disease.

263. Wow, I feel so much love in what you share of the wonderful three Amigos. Very inspiring and a reflection of deep surrender and embracing life as it shows itself to us.

264. What an amazing offering of support this is. 3 people, all with a terminal illness, who come together regularly and talk about things, share things and receive sessions. This is a reflection of community working together – just beautiful. How they look is an absolute reflection of this love.

265. These three amigos are seriously inspiring and thanks Rosie for opening up and sharing this because it is super important for us to see and understand that it is possible to approach cancer in a totally different way to what is promoted and suggested as the only way.

266. What I see is a way of living that does not feel defeated by illness and disease but understands it and is inspired by it to live even more committed, surrendered and full.

267. A great living example of the combined effect of Conventional and Esoteric medicine working together.

268. Truly inspirational, thanks for show casing these incredible three amigos!

269. Very inspiring blog that needs to be published on all cancer sites across the world.

270. This must be the first blog on Cancer I have ever read that feels fun, exuberant and joyful. Not only that but those interviewed seem to hold the disease as a genuine blessing. This is completely contra everything else you read in the world today – so essential reading for us all if we truly want to turn the tables on illness and disease.

271. The photos of Susan, Nick and Ingrid say it all. If you hadn’t written it, no one would have thought any of them were terminally ill. How inspiring to be so vital when you are so sick. If anyone doubted the power of The Way of the Livingness they would only have to look at them to know that there is something in it!

272. To rest deeply in ourselves, to know ourselves in our true essence and live life fully day by day, how beautifully simple is that! We do not have to have cancer to learn to live like this, this way is available for us all the time, so if we then have cancer we are already living a way that will support us. These three amazing people are showing that way, how we can shine and have vitality even in the most difficult circumstances. They are true inspiration.

273. My pin up poster for this month 🙂 the 3 amigos offering the inspiration of living fully and open-heartedly.

     1. I am with you on that one. The most gorgeous inspiring poster.
        I love the lively eyes, the beaming smile, the steadiness, how open they are and the vitality.

274. This proves how we can truly support each other through any stage of illness, and we all learn from the experiences. The pronouncement of a life threatening illness is a wake up call, not a ‘time to die’ call.

275. The transformative power and purpose of illness joyfully presented. Thank you Rosie.

276. With awareness and true support cancer becomes a friend, not enemy.

277. Absolutely ‘well worth a deeper exploration as to why this is…’, Jane. The ‘C’ word carries such a consciousness with it and it’s all about doom and gloom and death. The joy and light the three amigos are reflecting to the world is calling out for a new approach to how cancer is viewed, treated and lived with.

278. What a wonderfully, joy filled sharing of three beautiful people living with cancer. The love and joy that beams forth from the included photo is enough to turn the phrase ‘cancer kills’ on its head. Seldom have I seen three people more gorgeously alive than Nick, Ingrid and Susan!

279. Absolutely Jane. Charities and universities are bolstered by money for research with millions of pounds invested each year on this when the same amount could be invested in people. What is missing is offering front-line support through much needed services that educate people about life and how to live it. Hands on approach, not hands off. This is the way of Universal Medicine.

280. We are reborn every morning as we start a new day. What a glorious way to live every day to our fullest as these three are showing us all!

281. This really is another true testament to The Way of the Livingness and the people of course, that if we do get ill, it is not all doom and gloom and we can carry on and live full lives and not just lie down and give up.

282. I have come to embrace conventional medicine alongside the esoteric and today I wouldn’t have it any other way. With this way of being I am open to all that is on offer that supports me and my family.

283. Sure Jane, these people needs to be studied and appreciated for the steps they have taken to live the love that we all are in such a way that they can accept their situation with the life threatening disease like we, without such a disease accept that it is a rainy day today, but to not be affected by that in joy or mood but choose to enjoy it in full.

284. The three amigos, for sure they are when I look to the photograph. Indeed it is amazing and a uncommon image they show to me for people having a ‘serious’ disease. The joy and vitality they show to me are so not common in the land of ‘cancer patients’ and with that show too that there is another way how to be in life.

285. These three people are the role models of how to live and enjoy life no matter what is in front of us or of what we experience in our bodies. Life is a continuous learning and in that we cannot give up as I observe that many people that are diagnosed with a life threatening disease often are doing.

286. And what a blessing for their families, friends and everyone who comes in contact with them and see how they are living to the very end. It supports other to get on with it also and be okay with it.

287. Thank you Rosie, what a lively 3, all are full of joy-for-life and bring so much for everyone to always respect our choices to live in “dignity” (Nick), ‘committed” (Ingrid) and “purpose” (Susan)” which is a great way to live, The Way of The Livingness!

288. Gosh, ‘the three amigos’ certainly don’t look or feel like people who have a terminal illness. There is much to be appreciated about the way they have all embraced their own lives and taken such responsiblity for their health. What an inspiring read. Thnakyou Rosie for sharing this with us.

289. How to have terminal cancer and live well – I am not sure if such a book title would even be accepted by a publisher as it sounds too outlandish, yet here are three people living it.

290. “I love my life, I love who I am and I do not need to go and do things that do not really support me.” Bam, the truth be told. Simple, clear and powerful – a message for us all.

291. These three people are radiating absolute joy! So inspiring!

292. Serge his suggestions: ‘“Deeply surrender” and “Deeply rest”. Keep it simple, make a lot of difference when applied to daily life. In fact they support every human being to live a life full of joy.

293. This is a true testament to the incredible way we can live, and the incredible fact that our wellbeing and our health can be seemingly worlds apart – life doesn’t have to end with illness, we can continue to grow and develop and deepen our wellbeing even as the body deteriorates.

294. In my experience with family and friends having cancer and the deterioration on many levels of their lives, including their outlook and purpose, I would have never ever thought looking at this gorgeous photo that these three have terminal cancer! There is not one ounce of feeling sorry for themselves, a drive or fight in their body to beat this or kick it to the curb as I hear so many say but instead a surrender and honouring of the process their body is going through. Yes! They should be studied… if I had cancer I would be sitting in the front row if they gave talks.

295. Supporting and inspiring one another as we navigate our way, is what true family is all about… love first and always and then whatever is needed to offer the ‘what next’ learning and growth.

296. And this is a deeply inspiring learning for us all as we age and encounter different illness and disease processes in our bodies and those around us. There is no need to resign ourselves to any statistical norm… we now have the 3 Amigos setting the standard!

297. This is beyond gold and has me tearful and deeply smiling at the same time. Points of light and inspiration the 3 Amigos are… no doubt and thank you for sharing Rosie.

298. When we make life solely about comfort and also what we decide that looks like, anything that is at odds to the picture becomes a huge hurdle which at best we need to fight and at worst give up and use it as the reason to further withdraw from life. This is a super inspiring blog showing a far more glorious way of approaching life.

299. Rosie thank you for sharing. ‘The three amigos’ are literally flipping what we think of or know cancer to be like and how when we surrender to the love we are and what is on offer that we can embrace the cancer rather than fighting it and by doing so use the opportunity it is giving us to return to living more and more of the love we are and know in full without thinking we need to change in anyway for anyone.

300. Wow looking at this photo you would have no idea these three amigos are terminally ill! They are shining and beaming with vitality and joy. Incredible and what a difference compared to the usual appearance of someone with cancer.

301. Thank you, Rosie, for sharing these beautiful words from your father – ‘I feel the words of God through Serge Benhayon are the real reason I have coped so well and lived much longer than the doctors predicted.’ When we re-connect to the truth of God, the cycles of life make sense again.

302. So many of us walk around with a fear of cancer, it’s something that is often not talked about, referred to as the big C. I’ve described the way Ingrid is living to friends who have been fearful of a cancer diagnosis and it has really shifted their perception of what is possible.

303. Many friends say to me ‘are you going to do your bucket list? ‘my reply is, ‘ I love my life, I love who I am and I do not need to go and do things that do not really support me. I have lived with cancer for three years, I still work, I listen to what my body tells me, and I make self loving choices and I feel amazing. Accepting and embracing this disease has allowed me to have a joy within that I love to share with everyone I meet and show there is another way to live, The Way of The Livingness!” I love the inspiration in this of purpose, love and joy. A testament to the fact that life need not be overwhelming, terminal disease may not be a burden, but that in fact under any circumstances life can be loved filled and a joy.

304. We all come with a use by date. When we care for ourselves and have a purpose, there cannot be any judgement of how long or short that period is.

     1. Yes, Richard, the three amigos have connected to the beauty and joy of their souls, and there is nothing more precious and life-affirming than that.

305. To look at these three gorgeous people in the photograph one would never guess they were so ill. True testament to the qualitative effects of choosing to embody The Way of The Livingness, a science, philosophy and religion that delivers all the answers we have been seeking, the moment we choose to take full responsibility for our selves.

306. Rosie thank you very very much for sharing the three amigos with us. I am deeply touched and inspired as I know through own experience (my father died of lung cancer) how dying can be. I love how they embrace their diagnoses and illnesses it is very inspiring and yes – “They are leading the way in how to live with cancer and not be dead before they really are.”

307. Simply had to come back to this very inspirational blog today, where I was brought to a stop by the photo. I sat looking at it for a moment and like you Rosie, “I see the wisdom of their life, I see the glow in them, like something is radiating out of them and I see a joy that is infectious.”. They are all very welcome to be members of my family any day.

     1. I agree, Ingrid. The photo of the 3 Amigos will be a pin up poster for ‘Living with Cancer’.

308. These patients demonstrate that cancer can be lived as the healing it offers and that life doesn’t end until we literally, take our last breath, this time around.

     1. Yes to be able to see illness as a healing is such a sea change to our current view of it being something to fight or beat.

     2. Yes, and life can be amazing for much longer than we may consider.

309. Wow Rosie this is amazing, Susan, Nick and Ingrid are certainly leading the way for how to live with cancer. I can see there is not one part of them that shows any signs of fighting or giving up on life. When you look at their photo they are radiating joy, vitality and purpose. They are all absolutely incredible three deeply inspiring amigos.

310. This is such an amazing blog and one which highlights how I disrespect my own life and what I’ve been given – not that I need to be hard on myself because I am coming to feel how unloving that is, but in a way that says Karin, there is so much more I am missing out when I watch TV and distract myself.

311. The photo says it all – these three are so radiant, so full of life, that it’s very hard to believe that they have any illness at all, let alone cancer. Amazing to read about their experiences and to feel their absolute love of life, and commitment to it, to themselves, and to supporting their wider community.

312. It is so good to have the full support of Universal Medicine practitioners when we are ill as well as whatever medical support is available from our national health services. The third aspect of our support comes from our own attitude as witnessed in these three amigos, in that there is no giving up but a willingness to live life as much as they are physically able to.

313. An ill body doesn´t equal an ill person or ill life. Be healthy in the way you live and let the body do what it needs to do.

     1. Love this Alex, it should be on Hospital & GP Surgery walls!

     2. I love your comment Alex. There can be so much, often self-judgement as to the state of someone’s health when really it’s about seeing what has been an ill way of living and returning to love and accepting the body will do what it needs to do to heal the wounds we’ve done to it, knowing that sometimes the healing doesn’t look like what one might usually hope.

     3. When we get out of the way, our body can allow the miracles that it is capable of – and that includes passing over gracefully.

     4. well said Alex, we are seeing more and more samples of how to live with illness and disease, and not only live well but deepen and grow exponentially due to the healing the illness offers.

314. This is a must read for all people young and old as we have all been affected by cancer in some way and this account completely turns what is expected on its head.

315. Watching these elders live and breathe to serve humanity is nothing but a true inspiration.

316. Just looking at this photo again you can’t but be amazed that they are all terminally ill, the joy and fullness in their faces is incredible – I am humbled by their obvious surrender and acceptance of love.

317. Is there any documentary movie team around them? It would be great to capture their living for humanity!!

     1. Oh I think that is a great idea Steffi!

318. This blog is deeply touching me, as I feel such a great joy in how you can face a disease like cancer. What amazing role models these three are and what physical proof they reflect of the Way of The Livingness. More than miraculous and who would ever thought that being in the preparation of death can be so joyful.

319. Really goes to show that giving up and withdrawing is an illness in itself. One day I am sure we will be prescribed the medicine of “just be your gorgeous self” as that has more power than most could imagine

320. We often hear the phrase – “there is no place like home” so given our permanent home is our body we ought to make everything about the way we live very deeply honouring of the body.

321. When you meet someone who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness they are often withdrawn, sunken and grey, knowing that death is near. What I have noticed with these three amigos is that they are less self-absorbed, are taking deep care of their bodies and living in the community in full.

     1. So true Carmel and the three amigos are an inspiration to us all. They are showing us how rich and joyful life can be and nothing is stopping them from living a loving and nurturing life.

     2. There will come a time when we wear out our body’s and go to sleep when it is time to move on. But, until that time this story of how to live with love is the new standard for all of us.

322. This is very inspiring. Having an illness and living is very different to LIVING first and foremost, and having an illness but not letting this stop us from having enriched relationships, connections and even working in some cases.

323. Wanting to connect and finding ways to connect and contribute to society when we have a terminal illness and/or when we are approaching old age is wonderful for that in itself supports us to be healthy and vibrant.

324. What an acceptance these three people show us. No giving up or escaping at all, no feeling of sympathy for themselves or each other, and no needing relief but they continue their lives in full with a learning of forever surrendering and healing during this process. They support each other and serve all of us by their reflection.

325. The fact that you can be chronically ill but full of beans is contra to everything the world believes. It goes to the extent that when we become diagnosed it’s as if we go straight into mourning. These three beauties go to show there is another way for us all to live while we die – and it’s amazing.

326. It’s such an important story to be told, because life is there to be lived regardless of how well or not our body is. What they represent to me is the joy of living connected to their essence, to their soul, and the beauty that life is despite where the body is at. We are much more than a body, we are also a being, when we are fully connected to the beauty of our being life can be joyful.

327. The reflection offered by these three amigos of how to embrace the healing offered by cancer is totally inspirational as they demonstrate how to live well with cancer and continue to be of service until their passing.

     1. This is deeply inspiring, it reminds us that we have a choice and responsibility to live life in full to our very last breath.

328. What an inspiring blog and just shows us that we can live true to who we are with or without a cancer diagnosis.

329. So inspirational Rosie. These three people look and feel more vital and alive than many who haven’t even got a diagnosed illness. What a beautiful reflection for us all, that even with a terminal diagnosis, that life doesn’t have to stop but can be seen as an opportunity to deepen our understanding and true worth of who we are and why we are here, and with the support of true love and self care how we can make life about others and not solely about ourselves.

330. There will come a time when all of us will once again be amigos. Celebrating all the moments of our life daily and the end of the usefulness of the vessel we have housed ourselves in is welcomed joyfully!

331. What an inspirational trio and blog. This is turning on its head the usual cancer stories of either give up, run away or fight it to the death attitudes we see everywhere.

     1. I heard some stories today of people with terminal cancer while dying trying to leave the hospital and fighting to the very end that they leave this life so tormented and in so much anguish. These three as they are now sound and look like they will leave with as much joy and love as they are. The thing is there is not many surrendering to the dying process like these three so the majority go with the fear based reflections that are around. There’s not right or wrong but I do know which way I would prefer.

332. And what we see before us is the true effect of The Way of The Livingness and the Ageless Wisdom as presented by Serge Benhayon and embodied to the nth degree in these three amazing people. When we are empowered to understand and know that all disease is in fact a huge blessing, it brings a completely new perspective to our lives and all we have to offer. The miraculous transformations that can occur as a consequence are clearly reflected in quality of vitality and joy so evident in the photograph.

333. This is deeply inspiring to those who have any type of illness or disease but also a kick up the back side for those that don’t and waste their lives on activities that just aren’t important.

334. Even if one is not terminally ill The Way of The Livingness is way that enhances any life and is preventative healthcare.

335. Thanks Rosie for your sharing of three wonderful and inspiring people and how they are living their lives from day to day. A true example of their “Way of the Livingness” in everyday life.

336. What an absolute blessing to have people like Ingrid, Nick and Susan in life as friends. Actually, whether we have a terminal illness or not, committing to life till the last breath is not something we see very often, in fact, so many are choosing to check out and withdraw well before. This is a truly great example of how it can be different.

337. I would never in a million years think that any of the ‘Three Amigos’ had cancer by looking at their incredibly joyful and glowing faces. I couldn’t help but smile while looking at them, and the way they live with cancer with true purpose and a knowingness of what they are here to do and heal until they pass over is super inspirational. You can sense there is no fear of death in any of them as well, which is so rare with people that have similar conditions.

338. Inspiring for all, not just those who may be in similar circumstances. These amigos if you met them would not fit any of the currently held stereotypes of people with ‘terminal’ illnesses because there is nothing final or terminal about their way of being – they know they will be leaving in a quality they can look forward to coming back and serving in again…

339. The love, beauty, and joy that we all are just glows from these three Amigos and they are a testament to the fact that life can be fully embraced and totally accepted regardless of the health of our body, thank you for sharing their story Rosie, so very touching….. and what a photo, WOW!!…. to the three Amigos thankyou for the joy you are living, you truly are inspiring.

340. I can’t stop looking at the photograph and feeling how vibrant they all are, I’m really inspired by them to make more changes to the way I have been living.

341. This is a beautiful article, which speaks to me about the beauty of people, and how, given support and care anyone can be graceful during what could be considered the most challenging of times in life.

342. Deep appreciation for this article Rosie. It is so inspiring to read and see the sparkle in the three amigos eyes and the true joy written on their faces defies what most people have come to expect when they see someone who is living with cancer. They are not giving up or choosing to go down the victim path but are in fact all still living with true purpose and indeed showing there is a different way by surrendering and accepting the cancer for the clearing it is is offering and apart from having cancer in common they are also all choosing ‘The Way of The Livingness’ as their way.

343. Three amigos not by sharing similar illness or suffering but the choice to be love – that´s role modeling.

344. Rosie this is such a beautiful and oh so powerful sharing. Thank you for bringing it to the world.

345. There is not much to say after reading this, how simple life can be when you are dedicated to serve until your last breath, to not fight but surrender and listen to your body, and seeing the joy in their eyes and feeling it in their spoken expression is a beautiful gift for us all.

346. Thanks for sharing this story Rosie- so far away from most of our perceptions and experiences of cancer.
     To see that it can actually be a joyful time of deep connection and healing is very inspirational.

347. Accepting illness and disease and then understanding what it can teach us and from there surrendering into the healing on offer, what a beautiful journey and as the picture of the three amigos 🙂 bears testimony to is the fact this this can bring true joy to life.

     1. An invitation, powerful and true, to open up to the learning and healing on offer in every moment.

348. Beautiful Rosie, and I love the “don’t be dead before you are”. What these people inspire is true living, having purpose in life, being actively part of their community, building and/or deepening relationships, working, engaging and all the while take deep care of themselves, honouring their body and its needs and living love to the best of their ability. How awesome is that. Before UM I did not even know this was possible and now they show the world not only that it is, but how to do it.

349. What amazing sharings this is Rosie – thank you for presenting this and showing that there is such a different way to live and be with illness and it can be about the rebuilding, the rest, the deep level of surrender our bodies can go to rather than the fight for life.

350. Dignity is a word that Nick mentioned and I have learned the importance of dignity in supporting someone with a terminal illness. We do not need to take control of anyone’s life for them, but to allow them to live in full to the best of their physical capability. These three amigos all do exactly that. Their contribution in their local and global community is amazing and the joy and vitality they each have is definitely worth studying.

     1. Yes, it certainly is. Most people give up on life at this point, whereas these three are going from strength to strength energetically whilst their physical bodies are doing the opposite.

351. The feeling of joy is infectious from this photo and what I love is there is no fight or giving up, I think that is remarkable in a world that is constantly saying to do either. Rather to embrace and accept, surrender and be all of you in the body you have is true medicine. Very, very inspirational.

352. These wonderful beautiful people are truly inspirational, true role models of well-being, acceptance and living life as it is meant to be, with purpose and commitment to everyone and everything equally. I count myself as very honoured to know Ingrid, Susan and Nick and thank you Rosie for sharing their amazingness with the world.

353. Wow Rosie thank you for sharing this on behalf of Susan, Nick and Ingrid. It’s so very inspiring to hear their stories, and also hear how they are living and how this very much influences how well they are. This quote from what Susan says really sums all of this up…”Accepting and embracing this disease has allowed me to have a joy within that I love to share with everyone I meet and show there is another way to live, The Way of The Livingness!”

354. Thank you for sharing this Rosie, what a true inspiration. Three people who are so committed to their every breath, how amazing is our body in showing us the true path for us.

355. Wow, I love this blog Rosie and I love the photo of these amazing elders. They are all glowing and look incredible, who would have guessed that they are living with cancer? They are an absolute inspiration to us all and they are showing society how we can live with joy even if we are diagnosed with an illness like cancer.

356. “They are leading the way in how to live with cancer and not be dead before they really are”. I am so glad as a member of society and as a health professional that there is a way to be with cancer that actually develops you as a person and can leave you looking and feeling radiant, despite the clearing going on in the body. It is a waste to see people existing through their final days. When you speak to most people with an illness it is quality of life they are after. These 3 people have that in spades.

357. What a great blogs with so many gems in it. One of the sentences that stood our for me: ‘how to live with cancer and not be dead before they really are.’ So many of us live our lives in the future or worries and of what might happen without enjoying and appreciating what is there at that moment.

358. When reading how people accept and approach cancer with the support of The Ageless Wisdom it is so light and refreshing. It takes away the fear, the fighting and the misery and should I or someone close to me be in that situation I now have an example of how to be with it.

359. Thank you Rosie, I do appreciate hearing the other way of living with cancer.

360. Very very very inspiring! Wow! Shows that giving up, withdrawing and veging out waiting to die actually makes the situation worse. Commitment to purpose, life and being who you are need not stop until you die and in fact you can enjoy life regardless of whether you have cancer or not.

361. Truly inspiring to read this and to appreciate the way each have described how they are navigating their way with dignity and joy.

362. Thank you Rosie for sharing that there is another way to approach dying and living with a terminal illness that is truly inspiring and is available to everyone.

363. Wow incredibly inspiring. This line really gave me goosebumps: “I am contributing to my community and am committed to life till the day I pass over.” The common approach to serious illness is to withdraw and retreat into our own little bubble, rather than committing more and contributing to our communities as much as possible – no self pity, not self indulgence just grabbing life and everything it has to offer.

     1. This impressed me too Meg. A wonderful role model for us all.

     2. If we all would constantly connect to purpose in life, we would not have so many diseases in the first place in this world. Connecting to purpose is THE way out of the mud and self centred human life, that actually only keeps us in the comfort, that then makes us sick.

364. What a gorgeous blog full of appreciation and love. A very inspiring story.

365. Sincere heartfelt appreciation, such commitment to life is beautiful to read about. I am inspired. It is so clear there is another way to be with what the body reflects concerning illness and disease – Thank you for sharing.

366. What an absolute joy to read and so different from the many cancer articles in magazines that encourage people to fight and overcome cancer. Not one of the 3 amigos sound like victims of their illness, they have taken the gift of cancer as an opportunity to observe and change what is not supporting them in life and to deeply surrender to what is being offered to them through their illness. Super inspirational, thank you for sharing Rosie.

367. And what if we all lived with the love and commitment these three show, even without a terminal illness? Wouldn’t the world transform?

     1. Great question, sueq2012, and certainly a wake up call for humanity. If three people who have each been diagnosed with a terminal illness can live in such connection and with the graceful purpose that they are, what are the rest of us playing at??

368. The three amigos are indeed ‘leading the way in ‘how to live with cancer and not be dead before they really are…’. They are an inspiration, as so many diagnosed with a terminal illness give up and die even before their prognosis death date – or fight and battle that causes so much stress for themselves and their families. To ‘accept and embrace it for the true healing it is’ is a completely new take on dealing with dis-ease. Thanks for writing this article Rosie.

369. I deeply appreciate you Rosie and Nick, Ingrid and Susan for the choices you’re making daily, and for sharing these inspiring life facts; it’s not a story; I know it is absolutely true as I know you all for years. Yes humanity needs to hear about this; there is nothing else out there like it. Nobody would know that any of the 3 amigos is having any health issues; so it is true service to allow the world to know.

370. Thank you for sharing ‘the three amigos’ with us Rosie. I have got to own that I shed a few tears while reading it. They weren’t tears of sadness but tears of inspiration and joy. I can see how these amazing three are rewriting what true health is and how to truly live in this world. None of us know what day will be our last in this life so living every moment, not just for us but for everyone, is ever so important.

371. Judging by the photo the three Amigos would never in this world be picked out of a line up for having any sort of illness let alone cancer. They just look so alive and so well!

     1. Their picture is amazing and so vital. The picture that cancer had to be tired, grey and sick is well and truly being smashed.

     2. I agree Kev, they look absolutely radiant and alive. Their essence is shining out whilst they are in body that has a serious illness.

372. What you describe hear and by the picture these three beautiful people are more alive than many of us. We have made life about staying alive, about what we can get and achieve, about our own comfort, and with that we have lost any sense of well-being and what it means to be truly vital and alive and settled and content within ourselves. This is deeply inspiring to read.

373. These three are remarkable role models! They are doing what we all can do without having something terminal happen to us. The Way of the Livingness and modern medicine have allowed them to carry on with purpose and in-joy every moment of life, as we should and can all do daily!

     1. They certainly are Steve and they are a beautiful example of what living with joy and The Way of The Livingness looks like. Joy and vitality is shining through their photo and they remind us how important it is to surrender, live with purpose and not fight life.

374. A rare view of people accepting and living with cancer and not fighting or overwhelmed by it. No, these ‘three amigos’ have taken responsibility into their own hands and continue to live their lives with dignity and purpose. They’re showing us how to live with and learn from cancer.

375. Thank you Rosie for sharing such a beautiful and incredibly inspiring story. What I love about it is there is not one ounce of emotion or attachment to the three amigos but an absolute acceptance for how things are and how it is, living the true meaning of the word love.

376. This blog is a truly gorgeous celebration of these three very beautiful people Rosie. Very, very, inspiring for all to read and take in the aliveness and vitality that is emanating from the accompanying photo.

377. The Way of the Livingness does not come with a prescription of how you should and shouldn’t live your life. It comes with guiding principals on how to commit more deeply to life and how to express from the warmth of who we truly are, rather than trying to fit into a mould that has been determined by an outer ideal. It is this way of living that is the proverbial ‘fountain of youth’ we have all been searching for, albeit it an outward search with eyes closed, when the truth is that this deep well of wisdom lives equally within us all and needs no passcode or secret handshake to access.

378. Truly inspiring. I agree that these three gorgeous elders should be studied, for they defy all the known parameters we have placed on illness and disease and show us that there is another way; a way that does not call us to ‘go into battle’ and ‘fight’ the disease but instead surrender more deeply to life and all it offers and we offer back to it, until it is our natural time to depart. I LOVE these three amigos and I LOVE the way you have shared their beauty and grace with us all Rosie, thank you.

379. The inspiration for the whole world in this article is are we truly living? Do we know what truly Living means where there is no delay or distraction? Are we in our every moment preparing ourselves for passing over by being so fully committed to life and to being our true self. This is a glorious article Rosie, as in Truth our life in Livingness is glorious and grand. And are we aware of it and living it?

380. Wow, it’s so clear illness has much to teach us, if we just listen. I love what Nick shares about dignity. Surely we could all apply this to every day of our life too.

     1. Yes, as in truth is the same day we are living no matter what cycle we are in.

381. This is just so inspiring and OMG the photo just emanates joy, love and wellbeing. So Gorgeous. We have so much to learn from this. And boy could we learn a lot. Lately in the UK I have seen so many billboards saying ‘ We will beat cancer’ talking about winning, beating and fighting. However here you show the complete opposite in that it is about loving our body, surrendering to our innate love within and committing in full to life. It is not called The Way of the Livingness for nothing!

382. Thank you for sharing this Rosie, it’s deeply inspring to hear and feel how those living with a terminal illness can embrace life and all it has to offer – it reminds us all that every moment is precious.

383. This blog would be completely unbelievable if it wasn’t true.

384. Again, through mainly the media all life experiences shared are tainted with sensationalism.
     I learnt this mostly when my mum became terminally ill with cancer which did lead to her death not long after.
     In every situation with whatever life presents us with it is deeply nourishing to remain connected to oneself and be honest about what one feels each day.
     This is what the modalities of Universal Medicine have supported me with over the years.
     The ‘fighting’ cancer is exactly that, a fight which often seems to be driven from a wanting to stick around for others. The problem I have seen with this approach is that the fight can often be at the expense of oneself.
     Being a self claimed student of The Way of the Livingness and the Universal Medicine therapies allows me the privelage to know Ingrid, Nick and Susan.
     It is inspiring to see people so open and accepting of what life has presented them with and has taught me the power in surrendering to this.

385. This is beautiful Rosie, and touching that you write about it from a humble observant perspective.

386. Love your article Rosie and love how these three amigos so beautifully accept their cancer as a healing and are living life to the fullest. Can see it in their eyes their whole bodies. The joy emanating. Beautiful and inspirational

387. What a glorious photo of 3 amazing people who are living their lives in a committed and vital way despite having a terminal diagnosis. They are an amazing reflection of how it is possible to live well with cancer and they are busting so many myths around what it means to have cancer and the expectations of how they should respond.

388. This is something else, I will re-read this again and again. I loved the line Nick said about his beautiful partner Carmel Reid and how both Nick and Carmel share their lives so openly, allowing many people to be blessed with feeling the absolute joy they live with.

389. Simply beautiful and inspiring examples of acceptance and absolute commitment to living with true purpose for whatever time that is.

390. The joy is emanating from all three, beautiful. Yes, it is very possible to live well and with purpose at every stage of our lives. So often we hear of people wanting to ‘fight’ or ‘battle’ cancer when the opportunity is there to embrace it all and allow the true healing on many levels to be.

     1. …. and it also shows that the body can be clearing while the being shines ever bright.

        1. Yes, Victoria, it is incredible how the body can go through an enormous healing process and yet the essence shines out stronger than ever.

        2. Very well said Victoria, they are all shining very bright and what an amazing inspiration they all are to us all.

     2. Yes, the joy is quite amazing to behold.

391. Rosie thank you for sharing the truly incredible experiences of Ingrid, Nick and Susan. I have worked and work with people with life limiting conditions who either totally give up or go into a drive to try to defy the reality of their situation. Surrender, acceptance and committing to life seem to the key with these 3 inspiration people.

392. Love, love, love this article Rosie! Awesome sharing. Totally inspiring- thank you.

393. Extraordinary to read this, thank you Rosie for penning about these three amazing people. This is quite groundbreaking really – “For the three Amigos, there has been a real acceptance of their disease which allows them to live with cancer with ease and with no fight mentality.”It is so rare to read statements like this and to see a picture of three people with cancer shining so brightly.

394. Thank you Rosie for sharing this beautiful reflection of the three amigos, what healing is and the joy this brings. The Way of The Livingness allows a deep surrender to who we truly are and with that comes the joy of being the Divine Being that is within each of us everyday. Sometimes it takes illness and dis-ease to fully claim this and that makes me ponder why we don’t choose to live according to what the body’s wisdom brings as we are faced with everyday challenges in our relationships, our work, our lives – why wait till we get sick when we can choose differently today. The Way of The Livingness is my religion and I deeply appreciate this living way every day.

395. Thank you Rosie for this inspiring reflection of the Three Amigos! The Way of the Livingness absolutely speaks for itself . A true understanding of life is what I read here; no victim role, no giving up or giving one’s power away- just getting on with living fully, embracing and celebrating relationships with self and others. Brilliant role models.

396. Absolutely beautiful and inspiring article, going to read it many times more. Thank you so much, what a joy to see these three amigos!

397. Really refreshing perspective on how we can be terminally ill but nonetheless very alive, or even more committed and giving our all more than ever before showing that we are not the body but honouring it in full for the truthful friend it is supporting us to live the full you and not settle for less.

398. I have tears of joy rolling down my cheeks reading this. This is an inspiration for everyone – this article should be spread far and wide and shared with so many, because for the vast majority of the population, all they know is the grey, devastated picture of being a victim of cancer with life sucked out of us while we are still alive.
     As you have written – these three amigos ‘are leading the way in how to live with cancer and not be dead before they really are.’ This is what is possible for us all.

     1. Yes, this is an option if we would like it.
