Meeting Serge Benhayon - a divine friendship unfolding

A divine friendship

29/10/2016

by Simon Williams

I met Serge back in 2002 while on holiday in Byron Bay. I was not in the best place at the time feeling very hurt by life, the Universe and everything, and was looking for some time off to escape and certainly not for inspiration on how to be more.

My wife and I had organised a session with him on Boxing Day, and all I wanted was a nice, comfortable, relaxing massage.
True to expectations the hands on part of the session was awesome, but it was the few minutes of conversation either side that started transforming my life.

Rather than helping me to escape or offer me sympathy, Serge encouraged me to look deeply at what I was doing. Why was I doing it? What was the quality I brought to life? How could this be something more than just a job, but be about something bigger and grander. To ask the big questions of ‘Where is the Love?’.

Over the years I got to know Serge and his family well – I watched his kids evolve into the deeply inspirational people they are today, and likewise he has been there to witness and support my kids in their unfolding.

In particular I remember a conversation nearly 8 years ago now, when Serge made the simple comment that he would be the best friend I had ever had.

I’ve pondered that statement many times over the years. It was made without any hint of irony, bravado, or arrogance. For a couple of years I did not really understand, thinking it referred to spending time on holiday, surfing together, sharing many meals and celebrations. But that was not it.

Serge has a commitment to looking deeper, beyond life’s temporal outplay, that has stood out over the years and proven his prophecy to be true… because Serge has encouraged me over the years to look beyond what is simply happening in front of me. He has encouraged me to read why something is happening. To be aware of so much more than just my own small world. To open up to people from behind the hurts and petty jealousies that keep us small, and let people see everything I am feeling. And to connect… not just with other people but with myself.

It’s that connection that hit the jackpot in establishing a divine relationship.

I was always very interested in God in my teens and early 20’s, and searching and reading widely around the many different religions. However, I was never able to connect all these incredible ancient teachings into the modern world and my everyday life. At the same time my temporal world and my busyness would crowd in and distract me from exploring it further.

Over the years my friendship with Serge, and consequently the Way of the Livingness, has given me daily access to this divinity that is both all around us, and always inside of us.

His teachings provide the perfect guide of making life about the divine, by contemplating that relationship in the everyday. God can be found in anything from a simple walk, brushing my teeth, driving my car, through to how I am with my kids, or presenting in front of other people. The magic of the Universe is communicating with us from every angle.

To bring it full circle to my original problems back in 2002, I have now found God hanging out at work… and this provides me with inspiration in my job as an Accountant and Businessman. Its been quite the turnaround and I now draw deep inspiration from my work. Quite the counterpoint to my experience in the same job nearly 15 years ago.

Serge has been constant and true throughout all those years. His friendship has never backed away from calling me out when the need arises, from always asking me to be everything I am, and constantly showing me that there is more to this world when you start to understand that energy is everything.

I thank God for having met Serge all those years ago, and that’s particularly easy now because I’ve noticed that He is always walking right beside me!

In life we are often deft of the awareness that the divine is in every day life. With the support of Serge Benhayon this truth is becoming more and more prevalent for me.

Amina Tumi

I too am having this experience and with that said I have and am recognising that the more present I am in my day the more I am naturally feeling this connection.

It made me smile when I read you recalling Serge Benhayon saying “he would be the best friend you had ever had” and after a period of wondering if this meant hanging out, surfing together and other things we normally associate with being friends and loving one another, you realized that he was talking about something much much bigger. During the time that I have know Serge Benhayon, my understanding of, relationship with and expression of love, care, support, responsibility and friendships has deepened enormously – and the example he provides by how he lives alone invites me to keep deepening all areas of life constantly. This kind of friend, one who reflects and inspires us to be all that we are, is indeed the best friend anyone could ever ask for.

It's true Golnaz when we think of friendship its usually someone to hang out with, have a few laughs and release some of life's tensions. But as with everything else about life Serge presents through his lived experience another way to live... and in this case another way to be a true friend.

Rowena Stewart

14/1/2017 09:38:21 pm

So very true Golnaz. The nature of friendship that Serge Benhayon offers is not based on hanging out, going shopping, sharing a pint or a game of pool or indeed any of those things we commonly associate with 'friendship'. Friendship with Serge walks us into a whole new realm of care, consideration, inspiration and responsibility, one that continually pulls us to spread our wings and express all of our God given talents for the inclusive benefit of everyone, not just an elite few.

So true what is shared here, Serge Benhayon takes friendship, and relationships as such, to a whole other level.

Simon Voysey

Thank you Simon for sharing which spoke to me about how at the heart of a divine friendship is love, a love that can connect us all to each other and inspire us to be everything we deep down we know we can be. Serge Benhayon has reignited a fiery love on the planet that will burn so bright it will ultimately connect the hearts and minds of everyone.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

And so we will once more recognise that we are all deeply connected and together we make up one super large family. And every single relationship will once more be seen and honoured as a divine friendship.

This is lovely Simon. I don't get to see Serge Benhayon very often myself but the connection remains warm, constant and true. I can rely on him to always, without exception, be completely honest with me and with very few words. The love that accompanies his words never wavers. They always impulse me to be more, to expand my awareness and understanding of life, of me and of love. That is a true friend.

Rebecca Briant

3/12/2016 10:48:01 pm

I agree Jeanette, what has always struck me is that when I do see Serge, there is never many words needed to communicate his care, be it a confirmation or support, or answer to a question - what ever is said so simply is always exactly what I needed to hear.

Jennifer Smith

A very beautiful account Simon of walking with the divine everyday in all of our ordinary daily activities. A true blessing of what Serge Benhayon brings, presents and lives.

Lieke Campbell

20/11/2016 10:24:15 am

That is an amazing friendship indeed Simon. Thank you for sharing, there is so much to learn about what true friendship is and you blog shows it is not just about doing similar things or having similar interests.

Heather Pope

11/12/2016 10:25:37 am

The qualities of true friendship are so different from what most people would say, including an understanding that no matter where we are, or how long it is since we have seen each other, the connection is equally as strong.

Ariana Ray

20/11/2016 10:31:31 am

'Serge made the simple comment that he would be the best friend I had ever had.' And he has proved you right, for today the same support is there as strong as ever - consistent and unvaried. He is the rock where friendships are concerned, he has been for me for over ten years with no holding back the love whatsoever, and holds everyone equally in the same way.

David

2/9/2018 09:22:27 pm

Same here Ariana, 14 years on and the depth of friendship deepens with each moment. My depth of connection with myself has been transformed and that is through the deep support of Serge.

Sarah Flenley

20/11/2016 10:55:14 am

A best friend indeed is one that "never backed away from calling me out when the need arises, from always asking me to be everything I am, and constantly showing me that there is more to this world when you start to understand that energy is everything". A best friend introduces you to the truth, presents a way to live it and calls you back to it.

Shevon Simon

20/11/2016 11:38:34 am

Thank you Simon for writing this as it aptly captures the wisdom that Serge Benhayon shares with everyone. Developing the ability to read and understand why things are happening and to connect more deeply with ourselves and God on a daily basis has supported me to come out of a life where I would hide and shy away from people due to feeling hurt. This significant change is all down to Serge Benhayon and his constant encouragement and his will to not hold back who he truly is. Our entire world is blessed beyond measure because we have this man walking with us today.

Benkt van Haastrecht

Gorgeous testimonial Simon. Serge presents a deeper truth to friendship, it is in connection with the love that we all are inside (and more)

Heather Pope

11/12/2016 10:28:17 am

Friendship turns into a relationship that has openness, love, and transparency at its core. It is permission to truly love another without the construct of an intimate relationship.

David Nicholson

3/3/2018 07:28:44 pm

Benkt I agree, what Serge brings to relationships is incredible, it changes the entire way I now life my life as after experiencing the truth of relationships, after putting to the test how i am with myself and others everything changes.

Fiona Pierce

20/11/2016 12:47:50 pm

A friendship like that is a truly precious one to have, where there's no holding back from pulling us up or asking us to be all that we are, with unconditional love, respect and equality.

Sandra Vicary

"Serge has a commitment to looking deeper, beyond life’s temporal outplay, that has stood out over the years and proven his prophecy to be true… because Serge has encouraged me over the years to look beyond what is simply happening in front of me." All too often we can think that our lives are too hard and blame whats happening on other people, but so often we are missing what is happening right under our noses. Serge's ability to help us see this is quite astounding, and he never fails to support us when true support is needed.

Stephen Gammack

20/11/2016 03:17:26 pm

To not seek escape or refuge from life, but to embrace it in whatever it is we do, that you could say is the magic of god, for those who are willing to accept that word. It is in anything and everything we do.

Aimee Edmonds

20/11/2016 08:09:57 pm

Beautiful to read Simon of the relationship you have built with yourself and the relationship you have with God and Serge on a moment to moment, day-to-day basis. What stands out for me with your relationship with Serge and also my own over the years, is that love, honouring, respect and understanding is always there, and that is something you don't find in every relationship. Never have I ever felt judged or criticised by Serge and because of this reflection it shows up when I am doing the opposite to myself or others closest to me.

Ingrid Ward

20/11/2016 09:42:30 pm

Serge Benhayon has presented me with so much wisdom over the years and I could write the longest list of the tools (gifts) he has offered me to live in a way that is so far removed, beautifully so, from the life I was struggling to just exist in, but one of the most life changing gifts was to become “aware of so much more than just my own small world”. My world had shrunk so much over the years, and me with it, so to expand my awareness of the world around me and all those who live in it has been a transformation that I have lovingly and joyfully welcomed.

Rowena Stewart

7/4/2017 09:10:29 pm

A beautiful testimony Ingrid that applies to so many of us, caught into our own affairs and struggling to get through each day. Serge Benhayon restores to us a Universal perspective of brotherhood and shows us through his own example how to open our hearts and let one another in, how to accept nothing less than the best in one another and how to care enough to pull us to his level, rather than stoop down to ours.

Annelies van Haastrecht

20/11/2016 10:43:31 pm

'The magic of the Universe is communicating with us from every angle.' This is something I experiencing too and it is Serge Benhayon that has opened my eyes (and my heart) to see and feel the support is always there. As is Serge Benhayon, he has never let me down and is an constant reflection of living love and being with God.

Lucy Duffy

20/11/2016 10:47:58 pm

It is the mark of a true friend when they do not hold back from expressing whatever needs to be expressed - both appreciation and love, and the things we find very challenging to hear because they ask us to take an honest look at the often stifling comfort and irresponsibility that we have been choosing to live in. Serge Benhayon is most definitely a true friend (the first I had) and I feel deeply blessed to have him in my life.

Harrison White

22/11/2016 02:27:49 am

Well said Lucy a true friend is one who says the truth and doesn't just 'be nice'. And this type of friendship is constantly deepening and growing.

Heather Pope

14/2/2017 12:51:59 am

Being nice takes away the opportunity to be true, and what could be more valuable than a true friend...

21/11/2016 05:25:07 am

Beautifully said Simon - there is a real openness and tenderness in how you have expressed about Serge. What an amazing support he is to so many of us, and like you say, he walks beside us.

Gabriele Conrad

21/11/2016 06:38:44 am

I agree – Serge Benhayon is the best friend one could ever have: solid as a rock, very attentive and never half-hearted or not really there. We always get his 100% and more, but never ever less.

Rik Connors

21/11/2016 08:23:36 am

A testimony to God - God is in everything - in all of us. Similar to Simon I was not so convinced what I heard or was taught about God growing up. I did not feel it or truly understand what was mostly religious or the acts of good and kindness did not deeply impress me consistently. Serge did impress me; and always has deeply touched me like no other. His words over the years still resonate with me too. What blows me away the most is how much I feel heaven when he presents, and now I have a strong foundation of my inner-knowing to feel heaven in all I do. Thank you Serge and Thank you Simon.

Sandra Schneider

21/11/2016 08:47:05 am

I love how Serge supports people to see the love, worth and power that lies in working! To reconnect to this truth brings a beauty into life of all of us. Imagine people all over the world would love what they do...!!! How great is that!!!

Danna Elmalah

21/11/2016 08:52:20 am

I absolutely agree with you Simon: ""I thank God for having met Serge all those years ago, and that’s particularly easy now because I’ve noticed that He is always walking right beside me! "
He has been showing many and does till this very day, how it is to life a life from connection to love and how this can practically be lived in life. Very simply yet profound. It is in instant inspiration to feel who you are and so be inspired to life by , in connect with you and so the universe and beyond.

Rosie Bason

21/11/2016 09:15:31 am

I can really feel the love you have for Serge Benhayon and how easily he could be the best friend you have ever had. It is great to have people in your life who support and inspire you to be all that you are.

Nicola Lessing

21/11/2016 09:18:38 am

I completely agree with what you write here Simon. Serge Benhayon is also my best friend and constantly walks beside me. Amazing as I know he does that for thousands of others too. Also I agree it is beautiful to feel how God is everywhere and how the Universe communicates from every angle – we are all rich beyond our wildest dreams!

HEather Pope

11/12/2016 10:29:22 am

As one man walking beside many Serge Benhayon also offers us the opportunity to be that for ourselves and others.

Liane Mandalis

21/11/2016 10:33:14 am

Never before have I seen one man make divinity look so normal, so simple and most importantly, so accessible. This Serge Benhayon does with not an ounce of pomp but with a great humbleness that comes from the deep knowing that we are each the equal Sons of God, no greater and no lesser than each other and the everything we in-truth already are.

Hear hear to all you have expressed Simon. I love hearing about when a person meets Serge and within them stirs what seems to be the tiniest flicker of a flame that soon bursts into full ignition. A true friend knows how to inspire this godly spark within us all.

Joshua Campbell

21/11/2016 10:49:33 am

Your experience of Serge Benhayon leaves me in no doubt of what a friend truly is. It is not someone who panders to your emotional woes, or someone who tries to pacify the struggles of life as some to hang out with or share our issues with. No a true friend is a true friend! Someone who is the Rock in your life that always holds you for who you truly are and pulls you up to that when you are down. They are your true equal, your brother in life.

Ariana Ray

21/11/2016 11:06:47 am

'Serge encouraged me to look deeply at what I was doing. Why was I doing it? What was the quality I brought to life?' And today he still offers this as an encouragement. His life is all about quality, there is nothing but quality of the highest degree for him in how he lives.

Fiona Cochran

22/11/2016 09:47:27 pm

Yes, it's a constant asking us to be more, never stopping and assuming we have reached our goal as there is always a greater quality that we can deepen to.

Sarah Flenley

21/11/2016 12:08:18 pm

"Serge has encouraged me over the years to look beyond what is simply happening in front of me. He has encouraged me to read why something is happening. To be aware of so much more than just my own small world." This is one of the most amazing gifts any friend in the world can give you.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

14/1/2017 03:12:23 am

Through this excellent support to "be aware of so much more than just my own small world" Serge Benhayon has not only been the best friend I have ever had, but he has also supported me to re-open the doors to a friendship with God, with my body as well as my own Soul.

Joseph Barker

21/11/2016 02:20:00 pm

The ability to sit and observe and kindly question, why on earth do we do the things we do is priceless. Many of us may investigate parts of life but if we are honest there's an agenda that is preordained. So Serge Benhayon's way of truly questioning that you describe so accurately Simon, is to me incredibly wise.

Carmel Reid

21/11/2016 02:21:04 pm

Indeed Serge Benhayon has helped me to truly feel God in a way my Catholic up bring never did. I resisted at first, but his steadiness, his way of living and his down to earth way of presenting all made so much sense, and made the truth irresistible.

Victoria Warburton

21/11/2016 05:41:51 pm

To come from disillusionment in life, to an experience of God and the divine in all of its aspects… I cannot imagine a more meaningful and profound turn-around – all due to letting Serge Benhayon into your life, as friend, teacher and the deepest inspiration, for what already waited within you Simon.
My own story is similar – I didn't realise the level of disillusionment and lack of truly living, until coming to meet Serge, and the work of Universal Medicine. The changes, the deep joy now lived… are profound beyond measure – all due to one man who chose to not hold back the greatness of what he knows from this world, a greatness that we all do know within.

Matilda Bathurst

23/11/2016 02:48:45 am

And what an inspiration not to hold back both the magic that is on offer every day and the revelations all around us that our trajectory right now is way off course.

Amina Tumi

17/12/2016 03:59:17 am

It is very humbling to have such a man at the forefront leading the way back to what we already know inside us but have chosen for what ever reason to hold it back, I have been inspired by Serge Benhayon and many others that it is so important to really be ourselves all of the time.

Victoria Warburton

21/11/2016 05:46:17 pm

Add 15 or so years on to what was clearly already a well established working career, and there would be few who are feeling as deeply committed and connected with the divine in their work as you've described Simon… For the most part, we (humanity) seem to crave whatever achievements are possible, whilst longing for the 'escapes' – the time-out, the holidays, the rewards, the retirement…
To discover true connection and deep meaning in one's work is surely a fundamental key to truly living our lives in full. It's deeply inspiring to read this Simon, thank-you.

Victoria

21/11/2016 07:39:13 pm

What a truly loving relationship you describe here Simon. A divine friendship no doubt, where truth is placed above any comfortable arrangement.

Heather Pope

14/2/2017 12:56:55 am

A comfortable arrangement is what most people would potentially class as a great relationship, but when you have experienced the quality of a loving relationship based on evolution, you'll never settle for comfortable again.

Kevin McHardy

21/11/2016 08:06:54 pm

I have to say my life didn't have a lot of purpose before Serge came along and made sense of a lot of stuff that didn't prior. The consistency of the friendship he extends to everyone equally is very extraordinary and I too now have a relationship with God whereas before I was definitely floundering in this area.

Vicky Cooke

5/12/2016 12:09:35 pm

I agree Kevin since meeting and knowing Serge there is no more searching the true truth is know and I have reconnected to this within.

Sandra Schneider

21/11/2016 08:36:08 pm

Yes Simon, you can thank God for having met Serge Benhayon, but also you can thank yourself for being open and embracing what you've been offered. Serge offers a friendship to all of us and it is on us if we take it. This is a friendship that is not based on being nice to each other and so support us in comfort and holding back. It is a friendship that offers evolving and expansion, what requires a willingness to take reflections as a point of evolution and not see them as something against us.We are called to be more, to express more of our origin - not by Serge Benhayon, but by our all religion, what means our connection to God. Serge is 'just' a very amazing reflection of that fact.

Mary Adler

21/11/2016 08:51:36 pm

Serge Benhayon is the true friend who inspired me to reawaken and live with true love.

Ariana Ray

21/11/2016 09:03:25 pm

I love that all you wanted was ' a nice, comfortable, relaxing massage' and what you got was truth and love that exposed how you could be so much more by looking at the quality you live in.

Michelle Mcwaters

21/11/2016 09:05:31 pm

I really loved reading this blog Simon. It's a gorgeous confirmation of the incredibly gentle, loving and powerful essence that Serge brings to all of us and how the divine can be brought into everyday and family life. You speak for us all when you share how Serge has supported you to see the bigger picture at play and how this has allowed you to see beyond the limited physical temporal way.

Janet Williams

21/11/2016 09:45:46 pm

Thanks, Simon. This is a lovely expression of your love and appreciation of Serge Benhayon. It is beautiful to feel the true support you have gradually let into your life over the years, not just from Serge and his family but from God, constantly reminding you of your own intrinsically divine nature.

James Nicholson

21/11/2016 09:53:27 pm

Thank you Simon for sharing what a true friend Serge Benhayon has been for you over the years. Serge is a testament to what a true friend is and that means being there for you no matter what and calling you out on things which are not right. Ultimately constantly asking you to be all the love you are.

mary sanford

21/11/2016 10:04:39 pm

My take away from Serge Benhayon is to look beyond the pettiness of life that we all contribute too, to see the bigger picture that we are so much more than the hurts that we carry round with us and while we make it all about protecting these hurts we miss out on the grandness of life it self and the reflection it offers that we are so much more than we can ever imagine ourselves to be.

Heather Pope

14/2/2017 01:00:30 am

Seeing the bigger picture helps to bring into perspective the day to day challenges life can present. Serge Benhayon is a master at presenting the wisdom of the bigger picture of life.

Andrew Mooney

21/11/2016 10:07:26 pm

Serge Benhayon has a way of loving you more than you love yourself and in that becoming a great friend who constantly inspires and nudges you to be everything that you are.

Lorraine Harris

25/11/2016 03:56:53 am

I love your comment Andrew - it sums up Serge's unconditional friendship perfectly and inspires us all to be true friends to each other.

Vanessa McHardy

21/11/2016 10:40:13 pm

Love this Simon, especially the playfulness and simplicity with which you share your observations of a life lived in harmony with the divinity all around us. Serge is most certainly the truest and therefore best friend anyone could have.

jenny mcgee

21/11/2016 10:42:01 pm

There is so much more to the world than just what we can see, thank you to Serge Benhayon for showing me to discern what is the energy behind things first. That is the trademark of a true friend equal honest and sharing of what is true and not true for them.

Fumiyo Egashira

22/11/2016 12:48:59 am

A friend that constantly and consistently reflect Truth and Love – definitely the best friend anyone could wish for. If I feel uncomfortable with such level of relationship, it only exposes what I have been choosing and am willing to choose for myself.

Harrison White

22/11/2016 02:31:58 am

How amazing to have a friend that is so down to earth and close, yet so worldly.

Felix Kremer link

22/11/2016 07:34:23 am

Setting new standards for friendships. Friendship is not to get drunk together... Friendship is about supporting each other to be more of who we truly are. Serge Benhayon, a universal role model.

Heather Pope

24/11/2016 07:18:55 pm

True support in friendship was not something I knew before meeting Serge Benhayon, and in fact the entire Benhayon family. Now I live day to day with friendships equally supportive.

Jane Keep

22/11/2016 07:45:57 am

Beautiful testimonial Simon. I have known Serge for 13 years and have been blown away by the love, support, care and the depth of truth, wisdom and absolute integrity that never waivers. I love what you say about God. I feel the magic of God everywhere, a rainbow I can see in the glass, a bee outside the window, a beautiful smile from the taxi driver, and a feeling of being 'held' wherever I go.

Susan Green

22/11/2016 08:11:57 am

Now that's a friendship worth cherishing :)

Rosie Bason

22/11/2016 10:27:42 am

I used to seek "relaxing" and "comfortable" until I met Serge Benhayon, in fact the way I lived was so very different to today. I used to long for the weekend but now I enjoy every day and that way I don't have the urge to escape or have a break so to speak.

Shami

Establishing a deep and supportive relationship with God within has, over the years, come to be the most precious and sacred part of my life. In just the same way that Simon describes, it was Serge Benhayon who inspired and re-ignited this relationship, for which I am eternally grateful.

Rowena Stewart

22/11/2016 01:05:53 pm

Thank you Simon, you have nailed it on many counts. Serge Benhayon is the most awesome friend anyone could ever want for, never afraid to call you out when you are not being your self, always there to lend an ear and offer wise council that consistently includes the bigger picture and our responsibility within that. Serge has empowered so many of us to reconnect to the Divine within us and to see that God really is everywhere, even in those unexpected places like an Accountants Office, not in the usual guise we are lead to expect but in the magic of opening our hearts and connecting to people, appreciating the gifts we bring one another and supporting us all to be all we are.

Janet Williams

22/11/2016 09:25:32 pm

Recently I had the experience of feeling like I was going a bit off track in my life, feeling a building tension in my body but not being able to put my finger on what was wrong. Serge helped me get to the bottom of it in no time, calling me back to the absolute truth. No value can be placed on a friendship like this.

Gabriele Conrad

22/11/2016 09:27:11 pm

Quite amusing when you write that you were not after "inspiration on how to be more" when you signed up for your first session, on a public holiday no less. Serge Benhayon does not compromise and he never sells truth and love short, that is my experience as well.

'I thank God for having met Serge all those years ago, and that’s particularly easy now because I’ve noticed that He is always walking right beside me!' I love the playfulness of this knowing that you don't need to go anywhere in order to connect with God and that He is always right there walking with you. An awesome reminder as I can forget this when I focus life on what is going on outside of me rather than within me.

Ariana Ray

22/11/2016 10:29:09 pm

'Rather than helping me to escape or offer me sympathy, Serge encouraged me to look deeply at what I was doing.' No quick fixes, no instant solutions and no white wash here. Serge Benhayon brings such clarity it cuts through all the fog we have been living in and supports us to see what is going on and the games we have been playing.

Heather Pope

24/11/2016 07:16:05 pm

Thank God there is no sympathy or white washing from Serge Benhayon. That is available in abundance from many people, but in my experience, it got me nowhere. Bring on truth any time.

Thanks for redefining friendship Simon.

Sandra Schneider

This is a very interesting point Simon - Serge Benhayon presents (and lives) 'making life about the divine, by contemplating that relationship in the everyday'. My relationship with the divine is reflected and lived in my every day seconds. And I see how my life makes more and more sense to me, by realizing, claiming and expanding this fact. To connect again with the divinity and sacredness in me is enriching my life and all life. How do you call a friend who is supporting the reawaken this kind of relationship? A true friend? A amazing friend? Ahh, you've said it already Simon: a divine friend. Definitely I sign this!

Caroline Francis

It is wonderful to ponder on what a true friend is and what that means in my own life, how I am with others and how they are with me. Where calling out another because they are not choosing to be love in that moment may be seen as stirring things and causing an argument I am realising that it is one of the most beautiful acts of love I can offer another. Thank you Simon for sharing a beautiful blog about your unfolding in your relationship with yourself and in your relationship with Serge Benhayon.

Matilda Bathurst

23/11/2016 02:45:55 am

A testimony to true friendship - a relationship in which the truth is shared with absolute love and integrity and there is no holding back in calling each other to step up to all that we know we are. It is often someone else that will spot when we are playing games of less, or arrogance, or avoidance... and I know I am more and more open and accepting of guidance from a true friend since meeting Serge Benhayon and choosing The Way of the Livingness as my religion.

Rebecca Briant

23/11/2016 03:20:41 am

I love this parting line 'I thank God for having met Serge all those years ago, and that’s particularly easy now because I’ve noticed that He is always walking right beside me!' - it is thanks to my friendship with Serge Benhayon that the relationship I had with God as a child was cherished and supported and inspired to bloom and grow into the dedicated relationship I have with God in my life and the joy it brings me to feel his presence in every angle of life.

leigh matson

23/11/2016 09:30:56 am

Best Friend indeed! Friendships for me used to be about a shared hobby or interest, spending time with each other and listening to each others moans and problems. But Serge Benhayon has changed all of that for me. As kids we went exploring with friends and today I feel the same as my friendships now are inspired to know that we are and life has so much more to be aware of.

Serge supports people to know their worth, not by doing anything in particular but simply by being the worthy man he is.

Heather Pope

19/2/2017 12:17:53 am

Serge Benhayon holds each person equally in worth, knowing that our worth is inherent, not something to be earned by deeds, but who we are at our core.

christine hogan link

23/11/2016 11:16:05 am

Hi Simon. One of the many things that make Serge Benhayon so easy to connect to besides the love and humility he holds everyday is the fact that he does walk beside us. There is never any separation in that he looks down or in judement or comparison only absolute holding of the precious and divine souls that we are. Serge can see and holds this long before we see and hold this of and for ourselves.

Jane Keep

23/11/2016 12:07:39 pm

Serge Benhayon is the best friend in the world - beyond measure - he raises the bar on true friendship.

Heather Pope

24/11/2016 07:14:40 pm

Serge Benhayon is a role model of what being a true friend is, one for all of us to pay attention to.

Jonathan

23/11/2016 12:27:05 pm

Instead of looking at how to fix a problem, which only achieves a short-term solution, one "read[s] why something is happening" a greater understanding than one's "own small world" is gained and by doing so a door to find a resolution to the problem is opened.

Rowena Stewart

23/11/2016 12:28:03 pm

I would often puzzle over the words 'Divine' and ‘Friend’ before I met Serge Benhayon. I never really felt like I truly understood what both words meant. However all that has undergone a radical shift in my perception, thanks to witnessing a strong living example of both in Serge. Divine is an innate quality to be lived, not revered or spoken about in hushed tones, but to be really claimed within and lived to the full. Serge is a Master of Divinity, a person who knows exactly how to honour, appreciate, cherish and respect himself, his family, his friends and all he meets. A Friend is a person who will always tell you the truth, even when you don’t want to hear it and who will never let you be less that your amazing self. Once again Serge raises the bar on what it means to be a friend, a man who has befriended thousands of people and offers them a true experience of consistent, reliable divine friendship.

Joseph Barker

23/11/2016 06:16:15 pm

When we see life as just a surface show, of shapes and patterns that have no meaning, there is a despondency and disillusionment that can set in. This is because deep down we all know this is not true. There is no accident in anything that happens to you, no 'wrong' situation and a huge layer of meaning to every experience. When you start to read that these meanings exist you get to be free finally of the disconnected surface. Thanks to the support of Serge, we all can start to see the infinite beauty and multi-dimensionality of the universe as you have painted it here Simon.

rosanna bianchini

23/11/2016 08:56:09 pm

"God can be found in anything", this connection to, relationship with and understanding of God that Serge so simply speaks of, and walks with, has been an absolute eye opener to the actual depth, meaning and magic of our everyday.

Ariana Ray

23/11/2016 09:38:18 pm

It's funny to consider that you went to the session for relief and relaxation and you got the love of the Universe presented to you instead.

Janet Williams

25/11/2016 09:56:31 pm

Yes, Ariana, Simon certainly got more than he bargained for, as this meeting gradually re-orientated him back to love and the fact of divinity in and all around him.

Samantha Davidson

23/11/2016 09:58:13 pm

We do not get brought up to develop our own connection, wellness and self-love. It is not a selfish endeavour, building this relationship enables us to express this love and hold others within it. Building a relationship with ourselves does open up the divine within every day life. I have felt this to be true.

Michelle McWaters

23/11/2016 10:02:29 pm

'His teachings provide the perfect guide of making life about the divine, by contemplating that relationship in the everyday.' I love this statement Simon. If we reserve God for high days and holy days then we are surely living in disconnection from who we truly are. If we come from God we are equal to God, but only if we connect to our divinity. Learning that divinity can be practical and everyday has been a revelation to me. Yes we can find God in brushing our teeth, driving the car and doing the washing up. Knowing God is in all these things takes the functionality out of them and gives them real meaning and purpose.

Matts Josefsson

23/11/2016 11:52:12 pm

Beautiful testimony Simon, it goes to show that being someone's friend is far more than what we normally think. That a true friend asks us to be all that we are, not by imposing but as a gentle reminder that there is more to us. Thank you.

Katerina Nikolaidis

24/11/2016 02:14:12 am

The preciousness of the friendship you share here Simon is what friendship ought to truly be - the unwavering love that reflects back to you always the grandness that you are. Everything about Serge communicates this always, for he truly sees the real you and cherishes the glory of this even if we cannot connect to it ourselves. And to be held in the glory we innately are is the greatest friendship we can have.

Heather Pope

24/11/2016 07:12:29 pm

What a different world we would live in if the friendship was about reflecting back to each other the grandness we are.

Eva Rygg

26/11/2016 03:10:25 am

The great thing is, we can. We can all be this true reflection for each other - if we make it a choice.

mary sanford

24/11/2016 07:54:35 am

Simon I know you have known Serge Benhayon and his family for many years. And there was a time when your family lived quite close to the Benhayons for quite a few years. And I have also know Serge Benhayon and his family for 10 years now not as intimately as you may be but the level of support and encouragement is no different between us. He shares himself equally with everyone he meets there is no holding back at all. The open and engaging way he has with everyone he meets is rare, but as those that have met him grow in their own awareness it is becoming quite normal to drop the guard that we all have with other people and let them feel and know the love we have inside us is the same love inside them ... how amazing is that :-)

Melinda Knights

24/11/2016 10:42:55 am

It could be said that Serge Benhayon is redefining friendship, by making relationships about evolution, and by the level of love and care he brings to each person. And there is not an ounce of sacrifice of himself, as he lives an extraordinary level of love himself. Personally, I have never seen relationships like this before - very inspiring.

Jane Keep

24/11/2016 01:01:01 pm

I love what you say here Simon " God can be found in anything from a simple walk, brushing my teeth, driving my car, through to how I am with my kids, or presenting in front of other people. The magic of the Universe is communicating with us from every angle."

Rik Connors

24/11/2016 01:41:44 pm

I am learning and knowing, just like Simon is, what it is to live a life of a quality thus with God, in equal expression. The difference I am fathomly realizing is if I try to own what I bring in my work, play, and all I do, I am not walking with God and I walk with the separated version of being with God.

Michelle McWaters

24/11/2016 09:57:35 pm

'I thank God for having met Serge all those years ago, and that’s particularly easy now because I’ve noticed that He is always walking right beside me!' Ditto. I honestly do not know where I would be now without having met Serge Benhayon. HIs constant and unwavering support has turned my life around, not only of benefit to me but to everyone in my life who I can now inspire in turn.

Jane Keep

24/11/2016 09:58:15 pm

This has been my experience too Simon - "Serge has encouraged me over the years to look beyond what is simply happening in front of me. He has encouraged me to read why something is happening. To be aware of so much more than just my own small world" - which has been absolutely life changing for me.

Ariana Ray

24/11/2016 10:44:03 pm

'God can be found in anything from a simple walk, brushing my teeth, driving my car, through to how I am with my kids, or presenting in front of other people. The magic of the Universe is communicating with us from every angle.' And no mention of any church at all - mainstream religion is all about churches and middle men. Why would we need a church when God can be found even when I am brushing my teeth?

rosanna bianchini

25/11/2016 12:16:36 am

Serge is able to connect to and present the ancient teachings making them entirely accessible and understandable in the modern world, he shows by reflection how we can bring God into our full and busy everyday lives.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

25/11/2016 08:17:57 am

Serge Benhayon is a man who through the very simple, humble and practical ways he lives provides a perfect example for living the divine in normal every day life. By the way he relates to me and everyone else, I also know without the slightest doubt that living in this way is actually our true expression. It is as if he speaks the language of my Soul and invites me to reconnect to the deepest part of me. A true friend indeed.

Janet Williams

25/11/2016 09:49:37 pm

There is no greater gift than to be constantly reminded of your inherent divinity. This is something we can offer each other and our children as part of everyday life.

Heather Pope

12/3/2017 06:22:32 am

The world is so far away from knowing each of us are divine. Serge Benhayon offers that awareness, and if we choose to we can know the quality of divinity in our life every day.

Ingrid Wars

25/11/2016 09:59:55 pm

To come to the understanding that “The magic of the Universe is communicating with us from every angle.” is just one of the many things I have come to know from the presentations of Serge Benhayon over the last 12 years. But what I came to eventually appreciate is that he always urges us to question everything he shares, something I really struggled with in the beginning as I had had a tendency to always believe what someone was telling; I just wanted to know the answer without having to determine its truth. And it was how to determine the truth that was the biggest and most welcome lesson

Fiona Pierce

25/11/2016 10:09:06 pm

It's easy to get caught up in the surface appearance of situations or to react to something from a hurt or belief about how things should be but I too have learnt so much from Serge Benhayon about reading on a deeper level what is going on in life and what different situations are presenting to us and how with this understanding we are much better equipped to respond with true love and build connection with others and ourself.

Nico van Haastrecht

25/11/2016 10:37:55 pm

Reading your blog Simon made me realise that Serge is for me the best friend I have ever had. As he is always showing me a consistent way of living in which he dedicates everything he is and does to the evolution of the people of this earth. How awesome it is to have a friend as such!

Heather Pope

12/3/2017 06:24:11 am

Having a friend in Serge Benhayon offers you a new definition of what friendship is. It does not need a list of "do this and you are my friend", it is defined by a quality of love, openness and being seen for who you truly are.

Ariana Ray

26/11/2016 12:00:57 am

I love how Serge Benhayon was able to support you from the outset with what is true - 'Rather than helping me to escape or offer me sympathy.' Escape and sympathy just don't cut it, they clog us up with the unnecessary.

Rebecca Briant

26/11/2016 01:28:35 am

Serge truly is the greatest friend you could ask for, not because of loyalty to you or promising to always make you feel good, but because he tells you the truth, will always love you for all you are and ask you to live that all, the greatest love of them all

Eva Rygg

26/11/2016 02:53:45 am

Beautiful Simon - Serge Benhayon does not pander to anyones needs, he delivers truth uncompromised. A true friend indeed.

Heather Pope

12/3/2017 06:25:31 am

Pandering is the bedrock of many friendships, and yet it keeps a person stuck in their stuff. Serge Benhayon breaks the mould with this aspect of what he offers as a true friend.

Jane Keep

26/11/2016 07:43:38 am

Wherever Serge Benhayon is in the world at any time I always feel deeply held, and honoured. And whenever I am in the same room as Serge Benhayon I am deeply held and honoured. The consistency and integrity is out of this world.

Kerstin Salzer

26/11/2016 11:26:43 am

Serge Benhayon is a daily reflection for me to remind me where I come from. Even if I do not see him always I listen to his presentations and read his books. It is enourmous how he responsibly lives his life and inspires hundreds of people through his way of living.

Susan Green

26/11/2016 01:56:46 pm

'In particular I remember a conversation nearly 8 years ago now, when Serge made the simple comment that he would be the best friend I had ever had.' To many this would be quite a statement to make to someone and yet Serge is true to his word.

Sandra Vicary

26/11/2016 08:21:37 pm

I was in a presentation being given by Serge Benhayon yesterday, and he was offering someone the opportunity to speak about something that they loved to do. He asked them, how would you feel if I told you that what you were doing was actually harming other people. THe asnwer was 'I would be deeply hurt and upset' to which Serge replied, "but I have to tell you that this is true, because I love you." And this is Serge through and through. He never ever holds back from the truth, regardless of how much it may hurt us, because if he does we may never get to see the ill choices that we make in our lives.

Stephanie Stevenson

26/11/2016 09:19:21 pm

So true Simon. Serge Benhayon offers the possibility to pause and reflect on our daily lives and the quality in which we live, rather than fixing things in the short term to remain in the comfort that blinds us to the grandness of all that we are.
"Rather than helping me to escape or offer me sympathy, Serge encouraged me to look deeply at what I was doing. Why was I doing it? What was the quality I brought to life? How could this be something more than just a job, but be about something bigger and grander. To ask the big questions of ‘Where is the Love?’."

Christine Hogan link

26/11/2016 09:57:31 pm

How any of us find ourselves changing jobs because they do not feel right or do not offer the satisfaction and reward we are looking for. Exploring this for yourself Simon has shown that the shifts that were required were within yourself, were in re-connection to who you truly are. The joy, harmony and purpose you were seeking originally were all held within.

Jonathan

26/11/2016 10:03:35 pm

A beautiful testimony Simon. The love and awareness of life that Serge Benhayon engenders is palpable in your writing - very heart-warming.

Rowena Stewart

26/11/2016 10:10:06 pm

"Serge has been constant and true throughout all those years." One cannot wish for a more awesome friend than Serge and this consistency is one of his hallmarks. It is this consistent steadiness, honesty, love and wisdom that has enabled so many of us to re-write our understanding and experience of friendship and consequently deepen what we offer our friends in return. Supporting one another to be all we are is a life long commitment and thanks to the unwavering friendship Serge shares with so many of people, it is becoming the norm in many circles of life.

Karoline Schleiffelder

26/11/2016 10:24:10 pm

Serge Benhayon offers friendship to all, but that friendship is not defined by what we do together, but by who he is and he meets you with all of that, experiencing the absolute love, without anything attached to it, no conditions, expectations, nothing. Only a true friend can meet you in that. That is true friendship….Serge Benhayon is a true friend of humanity.

This is very warm loving sharing, it moved me deeply. Thank you Simon.

Jane Keep

26/11/2016 10:57:55 pm

It is such a difference to go along to a presentation where your whole body loves it, and feels what is being said. My experience of workshops and courses before I met Serge Benhayon was one where I felt bored, tired, and never really wanted to stay for the whole thing. Once I started going to presentations by Serge Benhayon I now sit riveted to my seat, my body loves it, and I could never be bored - on the contrary I could sit for days on end. There really is someting quite different about the way Serge Benhayon presents.

Sandra Williamson

27/11/2016 01:24:58 am

Reading your appreciation of yourself, your awareness and your friendship with Serge Benhayon is simply divine.

Eva Rygg

27/11/2016 02:52:20 am

'all I wanted was a nice, comfortable, relaxing massage.' - This made me smile in recognition... we are in for a real wake up when we realise the depth of what Serge Benhayon is offering.

Ray Karam link

27/11/2016 10:25:31 am

Hello Simon and how true is this, "God can be found in anything from a simple walk, brushing my teeth, driving my car, through to how I am with my kids, or presenting in front of other people. The magic of the Universe is communicating with us from every angle." We were taught and shown that God only existed at certain times in certain places and was with certain people. This true statement blows open the business that thinks it hold God for itself. No one owns God as he and is everything with everyone all the time. As you are saying Simon you don't need to wait to the end of the week and go to a building to find him, he is walking with you if you allow it.

Joshua Campbell

27/11/2016 10:40:35 am

Until recently, most of my life has been spent looking for a best friend. You know, the one that brings you the world and holds you in utter understanding and love no matter what you choose to do or say. Serge Benhayon has shone as a beckon that for me has totally redefined what it means to be a true friend. He has helped me to see that our only true friendships are the ones we have with those that fully let us in in their hearts, hold nothing back and stand undeniably to the truths of life. The key to have such relationships is to not expect that from the world, but to be willing to be open to being that rock in someone elses life yourself.

Gabriele Conrad

27/11/2016 11:38:42 am

"God hanging out at work…", how cool and what a far cry from the exhaustion and dullness of how you previously worked. Serge Benhayon is indeed a constant inspiration and great role model, showing us all that there is a different and far more enjoyable way to live.

Rebecca Briant

27/11/2016 02:55:08 pm

How many of us can say that it is because of us that someone is able to reconnect to the fact of God? For Serge his friendship, consistency and presentations have done just that for so many, not making God an inaccessible thing only reached though him, but a figure in all our lives that we all equally know and connect to.

Richard Mills

27/11/2016 09:30:05 pm

Thank you Simon - your testimonial really touches and brings through the living way that Serge Benhayon embodies in everything he does. His beingness is tangible and offers others the opportunity to know that same beingness within themselves. This living way is so much more than ideals and beliefs but is alive with energy that is experienced in the body, not just interpreted with the mind. He is a true friend to you, me and to humanity.

Ariana Ray

27/11/2016 11:04:09 pm

"Serge has been constant and true throughout all those years. His friendship has never backed away from calling me out when the need arises, from always asking me to be everything I am,' Constancy seems to be Serge Benhayon's middle name, he is constant and solid as a rock with it. There are no chinks or gaps where he is not consistent. That is what I love and adore about him - yes he changes, and the changes are all about deepening his love.

Rosie Bason

28/11/2016 09:34:35 am

True friends are the ones that ask us to be all that we are, and who call stuff out for us rather than see it and say nothing about it, and this is something that Serge Benhayon has done for so many and inspired others to do for their friends. I also love how he doesn't go into sympathy or judge you for whatever choices you have made in life, he just accepts you just the way you are and loves you no matter what.

Henrietta Chang

28/11/2016 10:14:36 am

Simon, this is an absolutely gorgeous testimonial, and is a beautiful way for us all to feel your openness and your connection to Serge and to God, as well as to feel the deeply heartfelt appreciation of having met Serge and the true friend that he has been for you all along. A true friendship is one that holds a larger responsibility in supporting but also calling our where there is a need, as you have so eloquently said:
"His friendship has never backed away from calling me out when the need arises, from always asking me to be everything I am, and constantly showing me that there is more to this world when you start to understand that energy is everything." - Thank you Simon!

mary sanford

28/11/2016 11:46:11 am

Serge has encouraged all of us to look at our hurts and re examine them. Learning how to let go of perceived hurts has been the best medicine because I am so much more aware than I have ever been. I can look back and see most of my life I was asleep metaphorically speaking. I was so unaware of life going on around me, I was in my own little bubble totally disconnected to other people.

Heather Pope

12/3/2017 06:26:32 am

Better that we deal with our hurts than walk around for years with them sitting in the background dominating our every move!

Vicky Cooke

28/11/2016 09:56:59 pm

Lovely testimony and to hear and feel your friendship with Serge. Its also great to discuss and understand what a true friendship is. Not someone that makes us feel 'good' but instead someone that is actually willing to call out what is not loving in our life instead always asking us to be everything we are and is always willing to take the relationship deeper. This is a great question to ask and I feel one that we should all ask ourselves with regards to not only the work that we do and how we are doing it but our life in general, friendships, relationship with ourselves and how we are living. 'To ask the big questions of ‘Where is the Love?’.

Ariana Ray

28/11/2016 10:34:55 pm

What is the test of true friendship? Having a friend who can support us, not to avoid how we are living - 'Rather than helping me to escape or offer me sympathy, Serge encouraged me to look deeply at what I was doing.' The mark of true friendship - not to keep us in the comfort of our own misery, but help us to see we are so much more than the misery we choose to live.

28/11/2016 10:37:37 pm

This is great Simon and shows how God has been within all along - and as we start to connect to ourselves more deeply and develop a quality with our bodies, then more and more we feel how we are not alone in anything we do.

Sylvia

28/11/2016 11:05:23 pm

Serge Benhayon lives in a way that is so loving to himself and all around him that he emanates that love and that reflects all what is not loving. It is up to the people who meet him if they are open and ready enough to become more aware about how they live and what is not in service to the whole. That is also why you see sometimes people reacting the opperside towards Serge as they do not want to go there, they want to keep it how it is in their life. It is the choices we have in life.

vanessa McHardy

29/11/2016 12:08:32 am

Having just spent the weekend with Serge I was again blown away with his way, the way he walks, the way he smiles, the way he supports the group to go to a deeper understanding. It is true teaching.

Rebecca Briant

29/11/2016 06:13:22 am

I love having friends like Serge Benhayon and Students of The Way of The Livingness, simply because the connection and interaction is one based on more than just the mundane physicality of life - the understanding and lived quality that there is more than just the physical outplay gives life a richness and depth of meaning and vitality that is otherwise lacking.

Kerstin Salzer

29/11/2016 07:27:24 pm

" but it was the few minutes of conversation either side that started transforming my life."
I agree, Simon, either talking to Serge Benhayon, listening to his presentations or reading passages in his books is all equally transfoming my way of living and the understanding of what life is about.

Samantha Davidson

29/11/2016 10:28:27 pm

I agree, I was always interested in what God, Soul was about, I was not brought up in an organised religion, but I always felt more than the life we just see..."His teachings provide the perfect guide of making life about the divine, by contemplating that relationship in the everyday." I love that my relationship with God and with religion is about how I am with everyday life, my Livingness, from me this is the only way.

Ariana Ray

30/11/2016 11:13:32 am

This question Serge Benhayon presented you with really caught my attention 'How could this be something more than just a job, but be about something bigger and grander.' To see the bigger picture - that life is not all about us but about Humanity as a whole - that is the bigger and grander-ness about who we are and what we do. If we all lived from this grandness the world would be very different.

Susan Green

30/11/2016 01:45:01 pm

Meeting Serge changed the way i saw friendships forever. Here is a man that stands next to you as an equal and yet always reflects the truth with the utmost amount of Love. It is an incredible blessing to have that in our lives.

Ariana Ray

30/11/2016 10:24:34 pm

' I have now found God hanging out at work.' What a great find!
Seriously though - to have God at our elbow in work, that is Divine order in action.

So true – The Way of The Livingness is not about escaping (which only works very short-term, if at all), it is about committing in full to everything that life brings.

Ariana Ray

'I ca so relate to how your 'busyness would crowd in and distract me'. This is so easy to do, so easy to make all the goals and targets we have in work and all the things we have to do at home, making 'doing' the all important thing, then we are lost to ourselves and our connection to our Divinity in all that busy doing. Serge Benhayon gives us tools to step away from that way of life, it's up to us to use them.

Sandra Vicary

1/12/2016 10:30:05 pm

"......because Serge has encouraged me over the years to look beyond what is simply happening in front of me. He has encouraged me to read why something is happening. To be aware of so much more than just my own small world." How different our lives would be if we were all to read, and then respond to what was going on around us rather than immediatley jumping in with a reaction that ultimatley supports no one.

Katerina Nikolaidis

1/12/2016 10:34:18 pm

Yes, there is nothing to escape to and nothing to escape from with The Way of The Livingness. It is about being all of you in all aspects of our life, no one greater or lesser. It's a forever unfolding and development and the most worthwhile journey to be on.

Sandra Schneider

2/12/2016 09:43:44 pm

That's what we get when we meet Serge Benhayon and open for what he presents & lives: "few minutes of conversation...started transforming my life". We are so familiar with living comfortable that it can be a big challenge to meet him. As you said Simon: all you wanted was a nice massage to relax - and see what you've got: sense in life, true religion, and so much more... This guy rocks our boats in the best way I can say from own experiences. Thank God for such a friend!

Katie Walls

2/12/2016 10:03:28 pm

A gorgeous reminder of God being in every aspect of our lives if we allow this relationship to be.

Sandra Vicary

3/12/2016 12:34:42 am

"God can be found in anything from a simple walk, brushing my teeth, driving my car, through to how I am with my kids, or presenting in front of other people. The magic of the Universe is communicating with us from every angle." Great reminder Simon, that God is in the detail of every single thing that we do.

3/12/2016 09:44:03 am

I used to have massages to escape and relax. It was my way of indulging and letting go.bit it certainly wasn't asking me to be more. I too had my first session with serge expecting a massage and boy was I wrong. I had the deepest sleep ever and it showed me how exhausted my body was - something that I had not felt before. And little did I know that was just the beginning.

Simon Voysey

3/12/2016 11:31:25 am

"Serge has a commitment to looking deeper, beyond life’s temporal outplay," I have found this so supportive in Serge Benhayon, because it has reconnected me to a part of me that always knew there was more and was, frankly, in a desperate search for that, never realising it was within.

David

17/1/2018 11:26:12 pm

Simon and Simon, that depth that Serge supports and inspires one to connect to is life changing, to go beyond what is presented as reality and get to the truth is everything.

Rebecca Briant

3/12/2016 01:30:28 pm

It is not everyday you can say that thanks to the friendship of a man, you know God, but when it comes to Serge Benhayon it is true in the more normal way. It is through having been friends with Serge over the years, witnessing his deep love and care for people and his commitment to truth, that I first learnt to trust in the possibility of true love, and then to see it else where, to realise that there was a 'something more' and that something more was God.

Kerstin Salzer

3/12/2016 07:08:27 pm

I love the title: Divine friendship. It is how I feel when I meet Serge Benhayon. I feel held in a divine friend- and relationship during visiting workshops and presentations with him.

Rowena Stewart

3/12/2016 09:23:49 pm

The real sign of the amazing friendship that Serge Benhayon offers so many people, self included is that it rubs off on us. What is given is so solid, generous and consistent in cannot help but inspire us to replicate this friendship for others and hence spread this much needed quality of integrity, honesty and deep care around the globe. His living example has taught me the true value of friendship, something I questioned for many years and consequently now have a living model to learn from and embody in my own friendships. And this is what friendship is all about, empowering one another to expand our love, honesty and awareness and take responsibility for every inch of our lives.

jennym

3/12/2016 10:30:36 pm

I too have always valued how Serge not only offered treatment for my injuries or illness but the possibility of going deeper and understanding how my choices have led to what I have created in life. This has allowed me to consider whether to continue a pattern of non loving choices or make more loving ones.

Michelle McWaters

4/12/2016 12:05:05 am

"Rather than helping me to escape or offer me sympathy, Serge encouraged me to look deeply at what I was doing.' What I so appreciate about Serge too is the encouragement to look at the root causes of things and not accept the status quo or to indulge in the symptoms of the choices we have been making. In getting to the root causes of things I have learned again and again how easy it is to heal things that have felt overwhelming. The overwhelm doesn't necessarily come from the hurt itself but the fact that is has been held onto and protected, precipitating a whole host of reactions and defences.

Joel Levin

4/12/2016 03:56:15 am

Friendship, can be a double edge sword at times, when the agreement arrangement is to keep each other locked in a way of being that doesn't really work. Yet, it is possible to have a friendship that runs so deep that it is more commitment to arising the divinity in each other.

Ariana Ray

4/12/2016 10:58:14 am

"I thank God for having met Serge' and I too can say that and do, over and over. Where my life would be now does not bear considering if I had not met Serge Benhayon. What he has brought is so huge. We say it's transformational, that my life completely changed, that I I did a 360degree shift, that I'm so much happier and well balanced now than i ever was, and all of this is true. But there is so much more than that, he is bringing a wisdom that we have long been waiting for, one that will transform the earth for all time. That is the grandness of what is occurring here.

Vicky Geary

4/12/2016 11:12:34 am

Simon, this is a deeply personal and very touching account of the transformation that has taken place within you since meeting Serge and most importantly meeting yourself. This too has been my experience. I didn't know what I was looking for, however I knew something wasn't right. What I found was more than I could have ever imagined and even now I am continually being shown that it never stops. Thank you for such an inspiring piece of writing.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

4/12/2016 10:56:59 pm

"His friendship has never backed away from calling me out when the need arises, from always asking me to be everything I am, and constantly showing me that there is more to this world when you start to understand that energy is everything." This has been my absolute personal experience about Serge Benhayon and I have witnessed the same relationship between him and numerous other people. The depth of reflection provided through his unshakeable consistency means I do not even have to be in conversation with him, just knowing that he and such a reflection exists in the world is enough to give me a nudge toward living all that I am.

mary sanford

5/12/2016 08:26:58 am

Serge Benhayons zest for life is incredible and his total support to all he meets is amazing in that he has time for everyone who wants to have a meeting or a chat with him. He never seems to tire and the way he presents himself is the same whether he is on stage presenting or talking to people in the breaks. I have never come across anyone else like him, he is the most consistent person I know his approach to life is one that I am also having a go at and it does work. I have had such a day today when everything that could go wrong did go wrong but I have taken it in my stride just remembering to be myself and not take anything on and it has worked.

Shami

5/12/2016 11:05:08 am

Making life about the divine is what Serge Benhayon does so well and not like any religion on earth that I have ever come across. For my whole life I wanted to live a deeply religious and sacred life, but this always seemed to mean forgoing family life, career, and social responsibility. To live with sacred ritual and rhythm seemed to go hand in hand with social isolation and leaving your family behind. Serge Benhayon is the first person that I have ever met who presented a way to live that is deeply religious, sacred and divine all in one, and still takes out the trash, drives the kids to school, pays the bills, cooks dinner for his family, talks to the bank clerks, goes on family holidays, the list could go on and on for all the normal and very human activities that he is involved with. Showing us that it is never ever what you do but how you do it that makes life a divine act of livingness.

Monica Gillooly

5/12/2016 02:35:24 pm

A beautiful testimony to a true friendship Simon. I love how you capture another aspect of what Serge brings to delve underneath and see what is truly going on to understand that there is so much more than the outplay we see and feel in front of us. We are divine beings living a human life.

Kerstin Salzer

5/12/2016 06:54:43 pm

"Rather than helping me to escape or offer me sympathy, Serge encouraged me to look deeply at what I was doing. Why was I doing it? What was the quality I brought to life? How could this be something more than just a job, but be about something bigger and grander. To ask the big questions of ‘Where is the Love?’."
These questions are life changing. Serge Benhayon offers love in supporting to see the whole and not only parts of it.

Otto Bathurst

6/12/2016 08:33:36 pm

I love the ease of your relationship with God.

Otto Bathurst

6/12/2016 08:37:27 pm

Serge has never ever wavered from being my greatest friend, mentor, supporter and inspiration. He is my absolute brother in every single sense of the word.

Heather Pope

25/2/2017 05:14:16 pm

To have a friend and mentor you can trust to only ever support you as the very best version of you (the real you) is an extraordinary gift. Serge Benhayon offers that equally to all he meets.

Kev Mchardy

8/12/2016 08:32:26 am

Serge is a true teacher, prophet and philosopher, someone who can answer or get you to answering many of life's problems or mysteries with such a loving grace. My life was such a mess before I met him and although I am far from having it all sorted, I have no excuses for not being sorted as he as well as his family have given me all I need with a non judgemental patience that is truly astounding.

Ingrid Ward

8/12/2016 11:59:46 am

"'Where is the Love?’." What a great question to ask ourselves in whatever we do and whatever we say. I can say, without one iota of doubt, that everything that I have heard Serge Benhayon present and everything I see him live comes with nothing but love, and that has a most beautiful ripple effect, flowing on out to humanity and to the world.

Sandra Schneider

8/12/2016 09:38:12 pm

"Serge has encouraged me over the years to look beyond..." - A true true friend.

Rowena Stewart

8/12/2016 10:30:24 pm

I have never met anyone who can tell you the truth, the real nitty gritty truth with so much love as Serge Benhayon does. What ever he shares is always accompanied by a deep understanding and total lack of judgment, meeting us for who we are, not what we have done and hence allowing us to stay open, hear, appreciate and respond to what is put before us, so that we may discard what is not us and cherish what truly is.

Jenny Ellis

9/12/2016 11:04:15 am

What you've shared Simon sheds a whole new light on what friendship can be... someone who is walking beside you, constantly calling you to bring all of who you are to life is actually profound when you look at the changes you've made as a result.

Shami

9/12/2016 11:55:20 am

Meeting and then knowing Serge Benhayon has been a life changing experience. Not because I hold him in an exalted place in my life, not because he gives me all the answers, it is mainly because of how incredibly normal and humble he is, which I find very inspiring. And so when I read Simon's account of their life together it makes perfect sense.

Ruth Ketnor

9/12/2016 11:24:58 pm

Serge Benhayon has shown me true friendship, like you Simon no pandering or sympathy but absolute love, deep care and truth helping me to understand life from the multidimensionality it is and my part in it, I appreciate this so much. The title of your blog says it all ... A Divine Friendship.

Joseph Barker

10/12/2016 12:49:34 am

Just like the magic of God coming at us from every angle, Serge Benhayon's Love and friendship is also always with you. No matter how you stray or how far away you look to go - Serge presents the truth and his Love unwaveringly for us all, and so equally for you. Its unfathomable to me how many lives he has touched with the quality he lives.

Gyl Rae

10/12/2016 07:20:21 am

"What was the quality I brought to life? " This is something I have been avoiding. I am quick to point out when others or situations are not loving or caring, but I have not been wanting to look at myself and the quality I bring to life, which in truth is not great. I am always wanting to escape. I have a lot to look at each day, and in a good way, from the quality of work I produce for kids what's the intention behind it, as this is wha they are feeling and getting way before they even see the lesson or picture, this does not feel great to feel, because it is not loving, it's often laced with need, emptiness, or recognition. The same can be said for every part of life, what is the quality I am bringing to my home, the people that live here, my relationships, family, cooking, cleaning, how and what I eat, the way I drive, get dress, shower, communicate, even the quality of how I walk in a room or a school without saying anything - what is the quality and imprint I am leaving for it affects everyone way beyond that school. I have to say it's often laced with emotions. This comes down to everything. Thank you for writing this Simon, a huge and uncomfortable realisation for me, truth sometimes brings a very loving ouch with it.

Kev McHardy

10/12/2016 08:43:44 am

Serge has certainly shown us what a true friendship is about, no pandering or niceties just the beautiful absolute truth which all friendships and relationships should be built on but few genuinely are.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

15/12/2016 11:27:53 am

Spot on Kev. And this truth is delivered with the greatest level of love, honouring and humility. I am forever blown away by the grace, tenderness and genuine care with which Serge Benhayon relates to everyone, and the depth of love win which he holds everyone. In fact I have become far more loving toward myself as well as other people directly as a result of the unwavering example Serge Benhayon has provided.

Jane Keep

10/12/2016 10:42:39 am

I agree Simon. Serge Benhayon raised the bar on friendships in every way. Consistently over the 13 years I have known Serge Benhayon he has remained the most understanding, most honest, truthful, caring man that I have ever met - with bucket loads of integrity and a relentless love of humanity. I am forever inspired by Serge Benhayon.

H Pope

25/12/2016 11:17:00 am

I remember wishing I had friends and now I have many many true friends. Many people I could call on for anything, and they for me. Such is the power of the way of living presented by Serge Benhayon.

Rachel Murtagh link

10/12/2016 11:03:50 pm

Serge is and has shown the truest friendship …unwavering, wise, understanding, loving, consistent, always there and ready to expose the truth where needed. He is not afraid to unveil the comfort as he supports us all to step into greater truth.

Heather Pope

11/12/2016 10:21:12 am

Having time off to escape is something we all need, or think we do, but if our life is something we need to escape from, isn't that in itself telling us something needs to change?

Luke Yokota

12/12/2016 07:44:10 pm

Having a friendship that asks all the hard questions and supports you through it is a friend worth having around.

Rowena Stewart

12/12/2016 09:45:47 pm

"He has encouraged me to read why something is happening. To be aware of so much more than just my own small world." Just one of the really awesome gifts of knowing Serge Benhayon is the way he encourages us to zoom out of our own insular way of being and observe what is happening around us in a bigger context. Still something I need a lot of reminding to do, but so often when I do, the answers that present themselves as a consequence are awesome. We begin to see and feel the part we play, the parts we all play in a much bigger scheme that previously ever imagined. Essentially Serge re-introduces us to the magic of God by getting us to take a step or two back and look at all the corners of life so we can learn to gracefully observe and respond instead of jumping into reaction, judgment or condemnation.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

13/12/2016 08:38:32 am

I am always blown away when people express their deepest experiences of Serge Benhayon. This not only a tribute to the immense invaluable gift Serge is in our lives, but it also provides a gorgeous reflection of how we too could each be such an amazing loving reflection and support for people in our lives.

Karin Barea

13/12/2016 01:27:33 pm

You remembering Serge Benhayon saying he would be the best friend you ever had and how you came to realise this meant way, way more than ones usual definition of friendship in hanging out, talking about things reminds me of hearing Serge say how he often loved people more than they loved themselves. I felt the truth of this 100% but was stuck in all sorts of miss -conceptions of what love constituted. Just this statement alone has supported me to question and then connect to what love truly is and there's so much more.

Carmel Reid

14/12/2016 01:57:20 am

Serge Benhayon has the ability to read us at a deep level and to say, in just a few simple words, something that can be totally life-changing whilst summarising accurately exactly where we are. Through his words we gain an awareness of where we are at and what our next steps can be, should we choose to take them.

Alison Moir

14/12/2016 02:52:24 am

I love what Serge said to you about being the best friend you will ever have Simon, because I have found this too. His ability to read who we are and be able to say the exact words we need to hear is inspirational and has supported me through the last 13 years that I have known him. He is truly unique and is certainly the best friend I have ever had.

jeanette macdonald

15/12/2016 09:21:18 am

Serge reminds us that God is real and ordinary as God is and should be, simply a natural part of us. No big deal. From his living example of this truth I have been able to let go of the idealistic pictures I had built up of God, and of what we are told religion is.

adam warburton

15/12/2016 11:26:35 am

Very inspiring Simon. The world is becoming too skeptical, which is understandable given its state. However, such is the love that is innately within us all, it only takes one spark to re-kindle the eternal flame from within us all.

Joseph Barker

15/12/2016 05:13:17 pm

How brilliant is this way of consistently asking what, how and why without any judgement. There is no agenda other than understanding and seeing what's evolutionary for all of humanity - this way of seeing life can't help but take it big. Thank God for Serge Benhayon - I agree Simon he is a glorious living example of a human being who has accepted their divinity.

jennym

15/12/2016 07:56:29 pm

It is very true we can often seek relief from our unhappiness through different sorts of sessions and then their are true practitioners who met us where we are at and hold us to come to our own change and understanding. Serge Benhayon is one of those practitioners with integrity and who lives life with truth and love.

Victoria

19/12/2016 11:48:53 am

Agree jennm, Serge offers true evolution, not a comforting relief or gratification. This ignites the fire of truth within us, the greatest of all gifts.

H Pope

25/12/2016 11:18:14 am

There is no blissed out hippy magic in anything presented by Serge Benhayon, nothing but truth, practicality, and knowing you are much much more than you realise.

Rowena Stewart

15/12/2016 08:42:43 pm

"thank God for having met Serge all those years ago, and that’s particularly easy now because I’ve noticed that He is always walking right beside me!" My feelings too Simon, I cannot imagine how my life and the state of my health would be today had I not met this remarkable, wise and deeply loving man. Serge's friendship goes way beyond our normal understanding of this word, a deep warm acceptance that naturally embraces all he meets. His words of wisdom and tender power always seem to pop back into one's head just when its needed. Even though Serge may live on the other side of the world, he is always there when you need some advice without fail. A very inspiring example of what a friend is and something we can all endeavour to be for one another.

rosanna bianchini

16/12/2016 07:43:20 am

"To be aware of so much more than just my own small world. To open up to people from behind the hurts and petty jealousies that keep us small, and let people see everything I am feeling. And to connect… not just with other people but with myself." These words resonate with me also Simon, I feel the misery of life when I keep it small and about this issue or that, but to see that it is my hurts or expectations that keep me in them offers me the opportunity to connect to something much bigger, the everything that we all are, and belong to.

Katerina Nikolaidis

16/12/2016 08:41:19 am

Prior to meeting Serge Benhayon, life was a collation of functional parts. Necessary evils that needed to be done - work being one of these. Underneath that was the exhaustion and drained way of being because I was so disconnected from myself. Having come across Serge Benhayon and the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom have turned this way of approaching life on its head. From disconnection to deep connection, and as you say Simon, to God being with me, everywhere, at work, as I walk, as I go into a meeting, as I go to sleep and everywhere else in between.

Rosie Bason

16/12/2016 11:04:23 am

When you say that Serge taught you to see much more than your own small world I totally get it. It is something that I have learnt too. To see that it is not all about me but it is all of us together and how we all effect each other all of the time.

Gill Randall link

17/12/2016 10:42:35 pm

Serge shows us what true friendship is, not a sycophant who says what we want to hear or sympathises with us, but one who listen to us without judgement and supports us with a few wise words that point us in the right direction for the next step forwards.

Amina Tumi

18/12/2016 12:07:34 am

Thank you Simon, this is a real testament to you and the choices you have made over the years to be able to not only see all these changes you have made but to enjoy them and continue to develop them.

Janet Williams

18/12/2016 09:51:03 pm

I love the sense of joy and playfulness, Simon, in how naturally you accept the presence of God in your life now.

Victoria Picone

19/12/2016 11:40:10 am

One always remembers when a friend has expressed with honesty, it registers deep within, it is known. This type of friendship hands back the responsibility to us and reminds us not to accept less than our relationship with God in all.

Carola Woods link

8/2/2017 10:58:19 am

So true Victoria - beautifully said. A friendship such as this is one that can never be measured, as it represents evolution and confirms our everlasting union with God.

Heather Pope

14/2/2017 01:10:30 am

Wisely said Carola, the evolution we can experience in a true relationship reminds us of the divine beings we are.

Eduardo Feldman

19/12/2016 09:49:34 pm

Serge Benhayon is all about setting standards based on divinity. This is what he does for a living from an understanding that nothing is more or less important that anything else. It is easy to see why he brings divinity also into friendship and of course, to fully appreciate the enormous beauty that this carries.

Andrew Mooney

19/12/2016 09:58:10 pm

For me also one of the key things Serge Benhayon has presented which has been invaluable for me is to read life on an energetic level rather than just experiencing it physically. This has allowed me to make much more sense of what is occurring and get the bigger picture of why.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

31/12/2016 12:34:30 pm

The understanding and reading the energetic outplay in life is another one of the areas in which Serge Benhayon is an incredible support. Everything about the way he lives inspires people to reconnect to and live with a far greater level of awareness, understanding and responsibility.

Lucy Dahill

22/12/2016 10:39:46 am

I love it Simon "To be aware of so much more than just my own small world". From my experience Serge says such simple things at times that have profound resonating effects throughout our lives. To go from not enjoying work, feeling lost and despondent to being the man, father, accountant and business man you are today who is incredibly committed, loving and caring in all he does is testimony indeed.

Samantha Davidson

23/12/2016 10:50:07 pm

God can be found in all, we are and all around us when we are open to feel the quality of what is presented. I am forever appreciative for Serge benhayon reigniting something within me that I have always known, I know God, I am of God, we are all equal in that. I live everyday from that knowing and I build upon it.

Heather Pope

22/1/2017 11:05:13 am

Serge Benhayon offers us one of the greatest gifts of all, and that is that we reconnect to ourselves.

Nico van Haastrecht

24/12/2016 08:11:55 pm

It is such a support in life to sense and know that Serge is walking besides me, showing me the way to go and providing advice when needed. And that also made me understand that we are not alone, never, we are all together, walking the same path back to Soul, and to me it is this support from one another that keeps me choosing to make my life about returning to the love I belong to.

H Pope

25/12/2016 11:14:47 am

Serge is a role model of true friendship, there with you always, never imposing, willing to speak up when something needs saying, but also willing to confirm the amazingness you are.

Jennifer Smith

26/12/2016 08:33:56 am

Your sharing Simon is deeply touching. No doubt because of your experiences with Serge this is now what you bring to all of your friendships. What Serge offers is always and only about love.

Jonathan Stewart

28/12/2016 12:56:38 am

Serge Benhayon is "the best friend I had ever had" can, and is, said by countless people throughout the world, equally. And Serge offers and fulfills that for everyone who chooses to accept the offer. No words to describe this other than 'awesome', 'incredible', 'amazing', etc. And it is true.

JennyM

28/12/2016 09:19:20 am

It is indeed a true friend that reflects to us that we are also all divine within and so therefore can naturally relate to the divinity in life, nature and humanity if we confirm that which is our essence.

Heather Pope

22/1/2017 11:04:18 am

We look high and low in life for even an hint of the divinity of God. All we ever need to do is go within and connect to the divinity that is already there.

Kerstin Salzer

29/12/2016 08:23:29 pm

Simon, the headline is touching me, as it shows how much the relationship with Serge Benhayon represents the relationship I have with true religion and God.

Jane Torvaney

1/1/2017 01:02:14 am

Simon, thank you 'I have now found God hanging out at work… and this provides me with inspiration in my job as an Accountant and Businessman.' I love how inspiration works. Serge Benhayon has inspired many of us to find our own connection with God so that we too may inspire others to find theirs. And so we all evolve.

Ariana Ray

4/1/2017 11:06:59 pm

'To look deeply at what I was doing'. This advice could go out to 7.4 Billion people, for we all need to that. We live our lives unaware of what impact we have, unaware of what our choices are doing to us. It's only when we get a big stop, that we will do a stock take of our lives. To have this advice is gold.

Melinda Knights

4/1/2017 11:53:27 pm

Thankyou Simon, I enjoyed reading of your experiences and how life was before and after meeting Serge Benhayon. You have captured so well how Serge is a true friend to all, regardless of the time spent together he offers an unwavering reflection of the love and divinity we all are and come from - a true friend indeed.

Serge Benhayon also supported me to trust my feelings and be able to read situations. This has become the basis of my understanding of energetic awareness and the appreciation of how everything we do can make a difference.

It is very refreshing to hear of a practitioner that does not offer a solution or sympathy rather hold you absolute equallness and reflect the glory of who we are in essence.

How special to have a friend such as Serge Benhayon.

Shami

I love reading your words about God communicating from every angle. This is deeply reassuring and makes me feel that we are never alone, there is always support and guidance and love right there beside us all of the time.

Aimee Edmonds

This is true friendship which is worlds apart from the watered down version many of us choose. That's why reflections of friendships that call each other to be more are so important. I am constantly inspired by the loving way Serge relates with everyone.

Ariana Ray

14/1/2017 01:38:02 pm

What a true gift is this 'Serge encouraged me to look deeply at what I was doing.' If we all did that each day, we would be living very differently I suspect, for looking deeply would expose how full of beauty and grandness if we can but accept it.

Heather Pope

22/1/2017 11:03:12 am

I know of no other person who when they say "look deeply at what you are doing", means to look with the eyes of appreciation and see how you are worthy of that appreciation. Most would be saying to see how you are failing. Serge Benhayon reminds us all we are equally worthy, and it is time to start appreciation the essence of who we are.

Kristy Wood

I love what you have shared Simon. Serge is an amazing friend, someone who never plays games and is always prepared to speak the truth because he knows in doing so it will offer you the opportunity to evolve, grow, go deeper and be more.

Francisco Clara link

16/1/2017 09:31:28 am

Serge Benhayon is a true friend, I might not have the opportunity to hang out with him often but definitely feel his love and support at all times which supports me to live with purpose and let go of anything that gets in the way of my own evolution. I also thank God to have Serge Benhayon in my life.

Shami

16/1/2017 11:46:32 am

Simon, having someone by your side who encourages you to look deeper at what is happening is so valuable as it speaks of what true brotherhood can be.

Vanessa McHardy

16/1/2017 12:04:24 pm

A true friend is so often described but not often lived, as in a person who will tell you the truth - not what you may want to hear. Who more importantly see's you clearly as the divine being you are abd holds that as the fact of you above any behaviour that may be counter to that.

leigh matson

17/1/2017 06:07:04 am

I too have found that Serge Benhayon has reignited my understanding of what it means to be truly religious - having a relationship with the universe we are always a part of. And thank you Simon for sharing how God is very practical and can be known in everyday life.

Heather Pope

25/2/2017 05:12:55 pm

I gave up on religion as a young girl like many other people I know. Now I am deeply religious and walk with God every day, but that is because I now know what religion truly is rather than the commonly known experience of it.

17/1/2017 09:13:45 am

Wow that was some massage you walked into! Sometimes the biggest things happen when we least expect them too - as it is a way of showing our bodies that when we have no investment and no need, then things are more free to come our way.

Ariana Ray

18/1/2017 10:05:04 pm

'To open up to people from behind the hurts and petty jealousies that keep us small, and let people see everything I am feeling. And to connect… not just with other people but with myself.' Most often we don't want to see behind the hurts and jealousies, we want to stay small and see the face value, not what's behind it. To take the step away from the personal and not make it all about ourselves, that is pulling us up to see the so much more that we have to offer here.

18/1/2017 11:08:33 pm

The friendship I have with Serge is something that I deeply treasure, its a friendship of truth, of support or behind held in total equality and in deep love. Through thick and thin Serge is a model friend, one equally for all.

Heather Pope

22/1/2017 10:52:53 am

It can't be underestimated that the ability to be an equal friend to all is not something extraordinary.

jennym

21/1/2017 04:03:43 pm

I now understand that we all can have divine friendships with each other if we consider that we are equal and of the same essence first, rather than approach each other with protection and caution.

Shami

21/1/2017 10:00:55 pm

There is a great moment here in this blog Simon, when you talk about what you initially understood friendship to be, and then how Serge Benhayon has introduced in to your life a whole new meaning of the word and the activity that goes along with it.

Fiona Pierce

23/1/2017 01:11:50 pm

"Serge has a commitment to looking deeper, beyond life’s temporal outplay..." - He truly does and the clarity and depth of understanding that he presents on energy is unique in my experience. Words can't say how much I appreciate knowing him and knowing that he is walking beside us all!

Joseph Barker

24/1/2017 10:37:54 pm

Beautiful tribute to Serge Benhayon Simon. When you think life is hard and a bit of a struggle, when you think life is tough and a hard act to beat, when you think that things are set to be a certain way forever, there is Serge relentlessly choosing Love. He makes it seem like this quality is a radio station you can tune into, one he plays everyday without interference. He inspires me to dust off my dial and move it along from classical heaviness to the light sounds of Love. He is certainly a conductor bringing through sounds from above.

Rowena Stewart

26/1/2017 10:04:28 pm

It's people like Serge Benhayon who inspires us to re-write the rules of friendship. I know that my understanding and appreciation of this word has been totally transformed since meeting Serge. True friendship is about supporting, appreciating and allowing one another to express all our love, wisdom and integrity in the world and nothing less. Transforming all our relationships takes time, but the rewards are stunning as we learn to let go of the vested interests and expectations and simply allow people, selves included to be the magnificent beings we are.

Michael Brown

28/1/2017 12:34:55 am

Beautiful testimonial Simon, a true friend is one who indeed does not give anything less than the all.

jennyM

29/1/2017 09:52:19 am

It is indeed true friendship when we are accepted and treated equally by another not relying on them to meet our needs rather being a constant point of inspiration and challenge.

Heather Pope

25/2/2017 05:10:54 pm

The absolute freedom of a friendship or relationship where there are not demands that need to be met because of the needs of another is a blessing in life.

Andrew Mooney

2/2/2017 10:43:31 pm

I agree Simon one of the greatest gifts Serge Benhayon has given me also is the understanding of the fact that life is energetic before it is physical and therefore much more that what I can detect with my five senses. This really stopped me driving myself crazy with trying to make sense of life in a purely physical context and has brought much more understanding and acceptance of life as it is, by understanding that there is energy and energetic choices making it all happen way before there is any physical outplay.

Shami

4/2/2017 11:09:53 am

Simon, this is particularly beautiful not only for your appreciation of Serge Benhayon, but also for your appreciation of your self, which is very valid because you are the constant person in this whole blog, the person who is observing and learning, choosing to be inspired and making the necessary changes. Yours is the divine light being re-ignited and just through reading your words, there is light brought to us everywhere.

Elodie Darwish

5/2/2017 11:49:28 am

And that's what I love about Serge, never will he go into sympathy for you when you're down, never will he play small and give you that ' i feel sorry for you' look. He is forever empowering us back to who we innately are, and helps us to see clearly through the rubbish we so often choose to sit in.

Carola Woods link

8/2/2017 10:45:10 am

What a stunning testimony Simon. It is endlessly inspiring to know and feel, simply by how Serge Benhayon lives the divinity he knows we all equally are, he is the best friend any of us can ever have. For his constant reflection of the divine is what inspires me and I know many others equally so, to explore, embrace and surrender to the same quality within us, so we can be free to live more of who we truly are in the world we are all part of.

Stephen Gammack

9/2/2017 10:08:00 pm

To move past the "petty jealousies" and hurt feelings. What is there for us in life when we do, it has to be something far grander and more enjoyable than allowing ourselves to be stuck in a rot of disappointment. I enjoyed your sharing Simon on Serge Benhayon, he gives such access to wisdom on how we can be much bigger and less affected by the silly little things but instead leave us connected to wellbeing and to the strong knowing that we are all made of the same stuff.

jennym

10/2/2017 07:52:14 pm

What you describe here Simon is the art of a true healer or practitioner, whereby we are held in love and allowed the opportunity to take responsibility and address the ill that we have created for ourselves.

Ariana Ray

14/2/2017 09:32:27 pm

A Divine friendship - now isn't that what everyone wants? A friendship that is so solid that nothing gets in the way of being truth and love - no issues or hurts to get in the way.

Jonathan Stewart

17/2/2017 09:31:08 pm

‘Where is the Love?' What a brilliant question and even more brilliant is answering it, which can be found within one's own inner-heart.

JennyM

20/2/2017 01:35:29 am

It is indeed the sign of a true friend who does not enable or sympathise but take the risk to challenge us when we are not being true. Serge Benhayon is one I would count as a true friend who supports from love unwaveringly.

Shami

22/2/2017 09:08:25 pm

Recently, in a conversation with a friend, I had a glimpse for the depths of support that I could offer them, and this blog came to mind, and in that moment I understood what Serge Benhayon meant, and by what it means to be the greatest friend, and how for starters it means to not hold back on expressing true divine love - matter the situation or the person, and how this means having no attachment to outcomes, but simply to express love because it is there to be expressed.

Heather Pope

25/2/2017 05:09:02 pm

Bringing divinity to life is not something I would have said was important, or even possible, but with the benefit of Serge Benhayon and the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, I live every day in connection with divinity. It has transformed every aspect of life.

Ariana Ray

25/2/2017 08:45:20 pm

Those oh so simple questions

'What I was doing?
Why was I doing it?
What was the quality I brought to life?
Where is the love?'

How would life be if we all did a check on this for every life choice, we made, every action and thought we had?
What would we change?

Leigh Strack

25/2/2017 11:34:03 pm

Life really can be and is simple. Serge Benhayon has shown us all just this fact by the support he offers. It is short direct and always the perfect words and sentences that we need to hear to bring us back to the beauty we are.

Matts Josefsson

28/2/2017 08:28:09 am

It's easy to feel when you write the fondness you have for Serge in your friendship.

Shami

5/3/2017 08:53:16 pm

Brining this divine quality in to everyday life is the cornerstone of The Way of The Livingness as presented by Serge Benhayon, and what is so beautiful to read here in these words by Simon Williams, is the way that Serge really does live this divinity each day and so as a role model we can see what divinity in human life really looks like.

jennym

6/3/2017 03:12:30 pm

What are we left with when we are not enabled in our silly game and denial that we are indeed a result of all our choices good or no so good? Serge Benhayon presents the truth that we can at any moment become honest about how we are choosing to live life and make different choices.

Jonathan Stewart

7/3/2017 12:45:43 pm

There is no greater friend in the world for anyone than Serge Benhayon. His capacity to love is limitless.

Andrew Mooney

7/3/2017 10:38:06 pm

It is our relationships and connections with other people that really make our lives worthwhile and meaningful and Serge Benhayon has definitely shown me also what it means to have deeper and quality relationships in my life based on connection, openness, honesty and understanding.

Helen Elliott

10/3/2017 10:20:32 pm

Re-imprinting the nature of friendship and making it all about connection with ourselves and each other. Thank you for sharing the divine blessing of being in relationship with Serge Benhayon and his availability and commitment to offer this to everyone he meets.

Stephen Gammack

11/3/2017 11:29:31 am

"A nice comfortable, relaxing massage" that brought a smile to my face Simon, as when you see Serge Benhayon the session will always offer far far more than that. Something you share experiencing in describing how his friendship has been there for you over the years, far deeper than just the pastimes and the hobbies that define many friendships.

Ariana Ray

12/3/2017 02:22:37 pm

'Rather than helping me to escape or offer me sympathy, Serge encouraged me to look deeply at what I was doing.' The quality of true friendship - someone who will gently prod us to look at what we are doing, for staying in whatever we are in - there is more to life than standing still in anything. We need to consider 'what's next' each day and many times a day. Not to be in constant motion but to look at the next thing that needs to be worked on and don't stay in the comfort of better.

Danna Elmalah

13/3/2017 05:03:31 am

Wow Simon, this shows immensely that God is love and that love is always beside us when we allow (choose). As your statement below reveals the truth on paper: 'I thank God for having met Serge all those years ago, and that’s particularly easy now because I’ve noticed that He is always walking right beside me! '
And I can add to that , I am feeling right the same as you Simon.

Michael Brown

how many people can we say have reminded us of the fact we are divine simply through our relationship with them.

Judith Andras link

18/3/2017 07:38:16 am

Serge Benhayon has deepened my connection to God tremendously so and has inspired me numerous times to bring the divine to everything I do, as this is what makes life full, vibrant und worth living.

Ariana Ray

19/3/2017 09:34:45 pm

'What was the quality I brought to life?' This is such a great question to ask of ourselves, thank you Simon for sharing this. I know I have spent most of my life worrying about getting things done instead of considering the quality I have been in when 'doing'. All I had ever been considering was 'doing' and never the quality of me as I was doing anything. It was only meeting Serge Benhayon that changed that. To consider that the quality I choose could affect others was revolutionary for me. My awareness of quality is deepening now daily thanks to Serge Benhayon.

Sylvia

20/3/2017 12:10:02 pm

Before I met Serge I always felt the Connection with God or better to say at least i knew he was with me. When I met Serge I feel more And more how I Can feel God And all the love there is (which Serge reflects so much) And that iT was always there. IT was me who went away from the love I am part of.

Heather Pope

26/3/2017 03:09:42 am

Knowing who you are and being willing to honestly own and state that has not an ounce of arrogance in it.

Alex Braun

26/3/2017 04:16:07 am

We can find God literally in everything; I rather see it less as a finding but a becoming aware of that he has never not been in everything, hence what I am finding again is the awareness of his presence that I once have let go of.

Alex Braun

26/3/2017 04:20:27 am

I always had a sense of the divine but it was by Serge Benhayon living a practical, down to earth, real and naturally religious way that helped me to make my life also deeply connected and vibrant of God´s presence.

Shirley-Ann Walters link

28/3/2017 11:22:56 am

I too remember a time when I had a session with Serge without appreciating at all the incredible opportunity I had at that moment. Now, I hardly ask him anything for in truth he has given me all the answers, and patiently just waits for me to live it more and more as an embodiment in my daily life.

Shami Duffy

3/4/2017 12:35:17 pm

To contemplate that the universe is communicating with us at "every angle" is pretty huge.

Shami

6/4/2017 10:02:43 pm

In coming to really truly understand that energy is everything I can see how life is taking on a whole new meaning and structure. The very point of it in fact takes on a new perspective, with unseen forces and divine impulses becoming a part of the everyday as each day becomes a journey back to soul.

Andrew Mooney

10/4/2017 09:39:46 pm

Amazing to consider that we could be doing the same job in the same place and it feel completely different based on how we are doing it and how connected we feel with ourselves and all those around us.

jennym

10/4/2017 11:59:14 pm

It is interesting how we often seek relief and escape from our tensions in life with bodywork sessions or even holidays and yet sessions with Serge Benhayon have offered me so much more, the opportunity to understand and address the real causes of my malaise.

Heather Pope

16/4/2017 03:08:43 am

The type of friendship you have with Serge Benhayon, makes you redefine what friendship is. All barriers to trust and transparency are removed, and no demonstrations of love are needed. It is without exception a true friendship.

David

25/4/2017 07:14:36 pm

Simon like you I echo that the friendship I have with Serge, the love that is endless and the quality of relationship that I am offered is something that I deeply appreciate, that is so rare to find and yet is so natural for Serge and with that I am constantly inspired.

Shami

26/4/2017 12:52:58 pm

Having a true friendship is like letting love in to your life, because there is no allegiance to blood lines or marriage dictating where love can be, it just is as it is between us.

Vicky Cooke

1/5/2017 06:57:34 am

How often does someone ask us to be more, not to belittle or berate us but because they love us soooooo deeply that they know from every cell within their body we are not living the truth of who we really are therefore we are not living the life of true love. In my lifetime very few people have been there for me like this, yet Serge lives this consistently with every person he meets ... now that is love. And this is beautiful 'Serge has been constant and true throughout all those years. His friendship has never backed away from calling me out when the need arises, from always asking me to be everything I am, and constantly showing me that there is more to this world when you start to understand that energy is everything.' Also thank you for the reminder that God is found in everything.

Elizabeth McCann

4/5/2017 08:13:44 am

Before meeting Serge Benhayon I had a very warped impression of who or what God is, which stemmed from my catholic upbringing. In fact I never mentioned God and avoided taking part in any conversations about him. When I heard Serge mention that God is love I knew I was hearing truth, as my body relaxed and the tension and confusion I had been carrying about Divinity, for fifty plus years, completely dissolved. Now with Serge’s support and through feeling the divinity that is within me and all around me I live almost every day with joy and purpose. I deeply appreciate having Serge as a friend, a role model and as someone who is a constant inspiration to me.

Suzanne Anderssen

5/5/2017 06:31:26 pm

"Serge has a commitment to looking deeper, beyond life’s temporal outplay..." and this has totally inspired me to do this too with my everyday. When my daughter comes home from school with a hurt finger, it's barely about the injury itself, but why did it happen, where were 'You' when it happened. We put ice on the finger and tape it up for support, all the while going the next step to expose how stuff happens. I can see no other way to live these days, for nothing is nothing and everything is something and that understanding there is so empowering.

Ingrid Ward

6/5/2017 12:33:05 am

What an amazing friend to have; a friend that will not hold back from sharing the truth with you, who will support you unconditionally no matter where you find yourself in life and who will never put himself on a pedestal and expect you to sit below him. We all need a friend like Serge Benhayon.

Jennym

6/5/2017 07:00:34 pm

We so often look for relief and escape from what ails us and yet you were met and held so supportively by Serge Benhayon to look at what was really going on and what you were avoiding.

Willem Plandsoen

God is and was always walking by us. He is always with us, he is around us. Always.

Heather Pope

11/5/2017 07:30:09 am

We all seem to look for that perfect life so we will be happy, and we will know all is well. So when things aren't well, we then look to fix what is not right. Enter Serge Benhayon and these pictures of external life being the solution to our ills is blown out of the water, and now instead it is all up to me.

15/5/2017 12:35:39 pm

Through what Serge Benhayon delivers - he has been able to bring me back to the truth of my body that knows there is so much more than the physical. And I see this everyday - have you ever walked into a room and felt what is going on before anyone opens their mouth? well that is us feeling everything -and we don't trust that enough. Serge Benhayon has taught me that is OK to trust what I instantly know in my body.

leigh matson

18/5/2017 10:17:43 pm

Thank You Simon and Serge Benhayon for the reminder that everything in life is part of something that is much bigger than us. But not bigger in the view that we are less but a key part in all of it.

David Nicholson

18/5/2017 11:25:00 pm

"He has encouraged me to read why something is happening. To be aware of so much more than just my own small world." Simon these are two virtues and areas of support that Serge has also supported in me and the difference is deeply supportive, without reading why something happens and being aware of more than just what I see and in my small world life actually makes sense, even though so much of it makes no sense.

jennym

19/5/2017 01:53:33 pm

So true Simon, just like sessions with Serge, we can consider and read everything in our lives to really understand what is happening and what we are creating and how we can choose differently.

Lieke Campbell

24/5/2017 12:10:24 am

"In particular I remember a conversation nearly 8 years ago now, when Serge made the simple comment that he would be the best friend I had ever had." There are so many pictures of what a good friend is and most of them relate to having shared interests and someone who is always there for you. But is it someone who is true to you, ready to let you know when they feel you are not living your potential or are a bit indulging without judgement and if it is someone who connects deeply with you. Serge Benhayon is a true friend to many people in this way.

Heather Pope

25/5/2017 11:39:36 am

It can sometimes be hard to fathom what we have in Serge Benhayon, the depth of what he offers the world about God and who we are is immense. This doesn't stop him offering it though, and he continues to consistently offer the world the truth about life, its purpose and why we are here. For any who are ready, there is truth on offer.

Fiona Lotherington

28/5/2017 07:48:22 am

It is lovely to read how the definition of what a true friend means to you has evolved over the last 15 years. We only have the understanding based on our awareness at the time, but what Serge offers as a friend is not like anything in this world.

Christine Hogan link

28/5/2017 09:16:21 pm

Serge Benhayon's presence calls one to go deeper, his reflection is inspiring yet humble and holding of the love he knows we already are.

David

28/5/2017 11:00:41 pm

Serge redefines what a true friend is and what a divine friendship is really all about. Deeply touched to read your account, thank you.

Willem Plandsoen

31/5/2017 06:49:51 am

I can feel God is with me and in me, more and more as well. It feels as just the beginning, even after 8 years when I met Serge. God was there all along, I was the one blocking him out in all kind of ways, never seeing what were the consequences of my actions. Through Serge I came to know how to make my life devine, let God manifest itself and through Serge I am becoming aware of all the ways I chose to block out God becoming tangible in my life.

Vicky Geary

8/6/2017 02:00:23 am

Serge Benhayon takes the meaning of relationships beyond what I could have ever imagined. He inspires thousands equally and constantly sets new standards in relating.

Heather Pope

6/5/2018 12:37:11 pm

The word "relationship" used to be reserved for my partner, and now through the support of Serge Benhayon, I can see I have relationships with everyone I connect with, equally so.

Having a best friend is a good thing to have in life and also very much needed. And in reading this blog I come to have a sense of what a friend actually means to us and especially a best friend and I come to the understanding that Serge is my best friend too.

Rowena Stewart

13/6/2017 12:24:31 am

Serge Benhayon knits all the components of our existence together into one seamless expression, bringing together God, philosophy, science, relationship and friendship in to one daily way of living. He has transformed our understanding of what it means to be in this world but not defined by it, to identify the truth amongst the lies we have fabricated and re-unite us with our real essence. Serge is without exception the finest friend anyone could wish for.

Fiona Pierce

28/6/2017 11:25:41 pm

It's beautiful to read how you now draw deep inspiration from your work and find God in any and every moment - it brings a different perspective to life and enriches every moment.

Kathleen Baldwin

7/7/2017 01:21:06 pm

Simon I found this very touching to read. It brought a tear to my eye. Serge Benhayon is the best friend anyone could possibly wish for and even he cannot be fully embraced as the true friend that he is if you have not found that same loving friendship within. This is a truly beautiful confirmation of your connection to the Divine.

jennym

7/7/2017 07:44:41 pm

We often do not like to look beyond the surface of our lives and what is happening in the world and in our communities today and yet the longer we choose to stay in ignorance the more suffering we create.

Henrietta Chang

18/7/2017 12:28:04 pm

What a beautiful sharing Simon! A true best friend is not necessarily one that has dinner and lunch with you all the time or who goes fishing and surfing with you, but it is about someone who will always be there to reflect the truth to you and support you in living and expressing all that you are, something Serge Benhayon is very good at.

Lucy Duffy

19/7/2017 11:39:29 pm

A true friend does not hold back from saying what they see and feel even if it's not going to be well received. Serge has been this for me and it took me a few years of reacting to truth before I could appreciate the reflection I was being offered but now I am deeply appreciative of the true friends in my life.

Monica Gillooly

20/7/2017 01:59:26 pm

To have someone who no matter what asks you to be all of you, to look beyond the surface and who in offering this says that you are so much more and to keep exploring that, what a gift, and what a friendship - this is very definitely a true friend, and you have written a very beautiful appreciation here Simon.

In the relationships that I have seen Serge Benhayon have, there is this sense of true family with everyone, and although the type of relationship may be different, the activities may be different, the purpose may be different with each person, there seems to be a constant thread running throughout each one where each person is given the same uncompromising love.

Every conversation held with Serge Benhayon is evolutionary, he delivers the truth unwaveringly, I appreciate this so much.

To look beyond our hurts and to truly see that we are so much more, and to have someone who reflects that ever and always is a precious gift - Serge Benhayon is that to all he meets and through this, those who meet him then live and bring this into their own lives ... true inspiration at work.

Sarah Flenley

It is such a trick of the human spirit to keep us separate / distracted from what we innately know, God. The divine is all around us, in every single moment - thanks for the reminder Simon. I really enjoyed reading this today.

Joshua Campbell

8/8/2017 11:27:55 pm

Serge Benhayon has shown that commitment is not just in what we do but the the quality of love we uphold in our life. It is our own Livingness of that love that determines the quality of love we can bring to another.

Thank you, Simon, for this celebration of Serge and the understanding about what it is to be a 'best friend'.

Shami

I can see how there is a true friendship between you and Serge Benhayon because he is always encouraging and supporting you to not just be more, but to be all of you, with all of your strength and your awareness. He is a true friend because with him there is no need to hold back any of who you are, and in fact all of who you are is welcomed. This is beautiful and inspiring - truly beyond words.

14/8/2017 09:07:04 pm

Wow Simon, that is a best friend indeed. What an amazing and unexpected relationship you have - where someone is not afraid to hold back or tell it how it is. I have witnessed this first hand in Serge Benhayon, and the unwavering love I feel from this is like nothing else.

Liane Mandalis

20/8/2017 03:52:23 am

A true friend is forever by your side even when you are miles apart. That was not meant to sound like a corny fridge magnet quote, but more so to say that we are never apart when we live the love within our heart. Oops, it happened again. You get my drift. End of comment!

Julie Chung

29/8/2017 12:26:32 pm

In your beautiful expression of Serge Simon, a true tenderness and love is with you which is an amazing foundation and base to come from within your own life. And yes, I agree with you, the depth of love that Serge holds us in, invites us by saying, come on, keep walking with me as my equal brother.

Leonne Sharkey

True friendship is offered by one that loves and expresses truth and evolution. Serge Benhayon is the best friend the world has ever had.

Adele Leung

8/9/2017 04:54:24 pm

Every time I feel humbled by my own love and my heart expands into a deeper knowing of who I am with the breaking down of self-constructed limitations, every single such time, I feel Serge Benhayon with me, just as every time when I resist in confirming my own love and then choose to return to this process, I feel Serge Benhayon with me too.

Alison Valentine

12/9/2017 09:59:47 pm

Serge Benhayon is a true friend he does not take sides, there is no jealousy or comparison and he offers an understanding of life that supports us to heal our deep hurts without pandering to them in any way. He is the rock that is there no matter what is happening in our lives and without his unwavering support I would have given up many times, and reverted back to the 'comfortable' life I was living.

Heather Pope

Leonne Sharkey

22/9/2017 01:02:27 am

Yes Serge Benhayon shows the true standard of friendship is one that will remind you that you are divine and call you account for choosing anything less with absolute love.

David Nicholson

22/9/2017 11:19:15 pm

The quality of Friendship that Serge shows me is one that I am deeply touched by, deeply inspired by and with that it has meant I have brought a whole deeper quality to all my relationships based on the care and love in the way I live. It shows the power that one person can have in inspiring another what truth and true friendship is by simply living in that way.

Sandra Vicary

23/9/2017 01:48:56 pm

Serge Benhayon is some one who you know you can trust 100%. He is there to support you at all times, in person and energetically and at all times holds you in love regardless of your circumstances. What more could you ask of a true friend?

Michael Brown

24/9/2017 01:32:29 am

If there was ever a role model for what the best friend is, it is Serge.

26/9/2017 04:51:48 pm

Yes calling what is not true out is the level of love that Serge Benhayon offers us. Knowing that we are not living the truly divine and loving human being we are. This is the marker of a true friend.

alison Valentine

Serge is the best friend many of us have ever had, he has shown us all what true friendship is.

jennym

To stop searching for love and learn how to live the love that I am, is the greatest blessing to realise and for that Serge Benhayon never stops offering a living role model.

Tricia Nicholson

10/10/2017 09:22:46 pm

So beautiful Simone and so true I love your sharing on Serge Benhayon and your life so much it resonates with me inspiringly "His teachings provide the perfect guide of making life about the divine, by contemplating that relationship in the everyday." The simplicity,joy and magic from this says it all.

Sarah Flenley

3/11/2017 01:00:45 pm

I did not know how much more there was to me until I met Serge Benhayon. He opened up my eyes to the universe that lies ahead of all of us. And asks us - with no expectation - to be all of us.

Heather Pope

6/5/2018 12:35:19 pm

Isn't it extraordinary to know the inner you - the place of immense warmth and joy that was there all the time.

Sam

"God can be found in anything from a simple walk, brushing my teeth, driving my car, through to how I am with my kids, or presenting in front of other people. The magic of the Universe is communicating with us from every angle." So true Simon, and how awesome that we have a man such as Serge Benhayon to reflect the awesomeness and the multidimensionality we are all from.

Monica Gillooly

18/11/2017 11:15:02 am

To have someone in your life who is forever calling you to by all of who you are without judgement or need is a gift and that is what Serge offers to all he meets.

Nattlalija link

19/11/2017 04:53:21 am

The teaching and reading that have been offered by Serge Benhayon often feels like the words offered by a true and loving friend that openly shares who they are and what they offer you in return. The true reflection of our livingness.

Aimee Edmonds

2/12/2017 02:14:10 pm

I bet the decision to make an appointment with Serge all those years ago is one that you appreciate every day and has contributed to many more amazingly life changing choices. Serge has always been the same with me regardless if I have approached him with 'fix me' or in full ownership of where I was at. He has always supported me, like all others, to read situations and express without holding back.

Ray Karam link

7/12/2017 10:40:20 am

This is constant and very true, "because Serge has encouraged me over the years to look beyond what is simply happening in front of me. He has encouraged me to read why something is happening. To be aware of so much more than just my own small world." I was caught and still get caught but the small things and while detail is great, it's not great when it's used against the natural flow to life that is there. When we get bogged down in life and begin to grind it out we know the picture has become small from our choices. There is always time to get your head up and keep reading the 'why' and allow the answers to unfold from there.

Elaine Arthey

8/12/2017 11:07:23 pm

Serge Benhayon shows us what a true friend is by living it himself. I can see that I have often chosen friends whom I knew would make it easy for me not those who would pull me up to greater levels of responsibility. I so welcome those friendships that hold me in a tender love yet do not hold back the truth.

Leonne Barker

11/12/2017 07:16:37 pm

Thank you for sharing Simon. Your relationship with Serge redefines friendship and shows how far humanity has strayed from a true way of relating with others. A true friend is not one that panders to you or makes you feel better when you are down (although o n this second point that is sometimes the case). A true friend will speak truth and live truth without perfection. Serge is a true friend to all.

Carola Woods link

12/12/2017 10:31:54 am

Through meeting Serge Benhayon I have learnt and now deeply appreciate that a true friendship is one that never backs down from honouring the truth who we are, and continues to call us to be more of who we innately and truly are. As in true friendship the call of evolution is a continual inspiration.

Amparo Lorente Cháfer

17/12/2017 08:45:13 pm

Friendship is an ongoing deepening and when this is openly allowed to happen, the friendship blossoms and bless everyone all around. This is what I feel with your beautiful friendship. Thank you for sharing it.

Simon what you capture here in your expression and appreciation of your friendship with Serge is something that is very rare and deeply precious on earth, the quality in friendship that Serge offers us all inspired me to transform the way I am in my relationships and friendships.

Leonne Barker

20/12/2017 03:09:34 pm

The depth of your appreciation for Serge and all he presents and represents is so beautifully and eloquently expressed here. Serge is the kind of friend that knows who you truly are, no matter what you choose to express. His open and loving reflection has reminded thousands of their true nature and potential. No one could ask for a better friend.

Shami

6/1/2018 11:01:59 pm

The relationship that you describe here Simon between Serge Benhayon and yourself is very inspiring, because of the way that Serge is there for you in support by always being straight with the truth, not holding back and showing in his most consistent of ways that there is more to understand about life through the awareness and understanding of energy.

Richard Mills

14/1/2018 03:47:06 am

You make God so very accessible in what you share here Simon, just as Serge does in his presentations. Before meeting Serge I could never quite come to grips with the fact that God was apparently 'distant and aloof' – and the need for an intermediary in my relationship with Him. That was because there is no need for a 'go-between'. God is fully and directly accessible to us all equally. Now that does make sense.

Richard Mills

14/1/2018 09:15:32 pm

The willingness to go deeper and see and feel beyond the immediacy of our temporal lives offers the opportunity to make sense of this life. And this is what I have found, and have heard many others state about what they have found in Serge Benhayon – he makes sense of life.

Joseph Barker

20/1/2018 10:36:46 pm

God spares nothing to look after us, every possibility is delicately considered - we are served truth to support us to connect 24/7. What a true friend to us all he really is. Exactly the same is true of Serge Benhayon too as you beautifully show Simon.

Heather Pope

'Serge has a commitment to looking deeper, beyond life’s temporal outplay...' Thank heavens for this! The understanding he brings to us all about the bigger picture, 'the more' in life, is in fact life changing. He speaks the truth we all know deep down but haven't articulated or chosen to be consciously aware of.

Ingrid Ward

25/1/2018 08:55:09 pm

Now this is what I call a true friend, someone who is “always asking me to be everything I am” instead of trying to keep you just the way you are because that is more comfortable for them; if you stay the way you are then they don’t have to change. I have come to understand that Serge is always calling us to be everything we are but there is no telling just a simple offering of how this is possible.

Joshua Campbell

8/2/2018 01:05:57 pm

What Serge shows is how sympathy in truth offer nothing of any true good to another. In effect the only true support that can be offered to another is the love of ones Soul

David

9/2/2018 04:53:33 am

I grew up thinking that friendship is with someone that likes the same things, that does not make you squirm and is there to listen to you when you are upset. Today what I love are the friends that ask me to be 'all of me' to help me grow, expand and let me know when I am not being me.

Heather Pope

6/5/2018 12:33:30 pm

Being seen by others, having them with you through the days when you are all of you, and the days when you wobble, that has become a relationship that surpasses friendship. It is more like we are walking through life together, and nothing can interfere with the support for each other.

Alison Valentine

16/2/2018 09:26:49 pm

Serge Benhayon is definitely the best friend any of us could have, a friend that is rock solid in knowing who they are and understands love and truth more than anyone in the world. We have bastardised so many words in life and friendship is also one of those, a friend is someone who speaks the truth and does not hold back, but for most of the world now a friend is someone who lets us be, does not push our buttons or question when they can see something is not true.

Samantha Davidson

5/3/2018 12:47:34 pm

'Every day contemplation of divinity' and our relationship with it and being of it, this is something to really sit with and feel, why live in a flat world or perception when the whole universe of energetic oneness is waiting to be lived with and from.

Through Serge Benhayon I have come to understand the divine in so many ways and have rekindled a relationship with God that I have always known, but put on the back burner.

Jennifer Smith

23/5/2018 11:37:36 am

A true and divine friendship indeed, one in which you see the truth of the world and your part in it and the truth of who you are and begin to live that. The gift here is for everyone, for we receive the reflection and inspirations of a person who is simply living true to themselves in connection with their soul. The more we all see and feel this, then we begin to recognise the same possibilities within ourselves.

Jennifer Smith

7/7/2018 03:20:19 pm

Simon I love how you speak of God in such an ordinary way here. Something that I have realised through your sharing is how God can be an absolute part of our everyday or every moment, ordinarily but extraordinarily so. Its with this that I want to deeply appreciate Serge because I would certainly not have this reached this understanding of God without Serge. Its a big beautiful and growing understanding of God with much more to go.

Willem Plandsoen

That is so true. For we are made out of energy, our whole world is made up of energy. So when we wake-up again and actually start seeing life as energy first, we start to understand what is truly going on in this world nowday. This is where all the teachings of Serge Benhayon are based on.

There is so much more to life than our own small world, and Serge does definitely encourage us to look beyond what we initially see presented, to use our clairsentience, and to read what is truly going on.

Lorraine Wellman

8/9/2018 09:11:10 pm

Serge Benhayon is always offering us so much wisdom and love, whether it be in his words, or by his living reflection, 'Serge has a commitment to looking deeper, beyond life’s temporal outplay, that has stood out over the years and proven his prophecy to be true… because Serge has encouraged me over the years to look beyond what is simply happening in front of me. He has encouraged me to read why something is happening. To be aware of so much more than just my own small world. To open up to people from behind the hurts and petty jealousies that keep us small, and let people see everything I am feeling. And to connect… not just with other people but with myself.'

Anna

9/9/2018 11:44:32 am

'His friendship has never backed away from calling me out when the need arises, from always asking me to be everything I am, and constantly showing me that there is more to this world when you start to understand that energy is everything.' This is a beautiful reminder of how Serge Benhayon is a true friend to everyone he meets, he makes all relationships about love first and foremost and open our eyes to the truth of energy.

Samantha

9/9/2018 12:57:06 pm

Serge represents everything true in life, he represents the universe the stars and the moon and everything that is in perfect flow.

Now we have Serge Benhayon, the world will never be the same.

Liane Mandalis

11/9/2018 01:27:26 pm

A true friend does not collude with us in the lower vibration we may have chosen but instead consistently offers the higher one as a means to arise ourselves back out of the mud of our own choosing. For what is love if it leaves us lesser than the everything we are but may not be living yet? True love helps to restore this beauty and a true friend knows exactly how to do this.

Willem Plandsoen

"What was the quality I brought to life? How could this be something more than just a job, but be about something bigger and grander. To ask the big questions of ‘Where is the Love?’. Big questions, that Serge does not shirk. His reflection. of love, truth, stillness and many more qualities has inspired me - and many others - to live a different way of life, a way with quality. A transformation I would never have dreamed possible.

Amparo Lorente Cháfer

A friendship that asks you to be the all that you are is the one that is offered in the same fullness. This is a constant opportunity to grow and expand together, as well as a blessing for all, because this kind of relationship it's never personalised, but a shared experience with everyone in the same quality.

Shami

6/11/2018 10:53:03 am

There is something in the way that you write about when Serge Benhayon talked with you at your first session, making you consider the love in your life. And this feels important to note, because anyone can say those words, but there must have been something different in the way that Serge did so to have had such an incredible impact on your life thereafter.

Joshua Campbell

15/11/2018 11:10:54 pm

Gosh it’s rare to hear someone express like this about another person especially a man expressing about another man. Wouldn’t it be amazing if all our relationships were this way. Makes me wonder why this has not been the focus of humanity especially given that relationship issues be it subtle to abusive have been our unfortunate accepted norm.

Willem Plandsoen

Beautiful sharing Simon. We indeed have acces to God all the time, everywhere. I could not get the connection with God meant to my daily life, my work, as well, it seemed two different worlds. Know I know it is simply a choice to allow God in your life, and then deepen it. We don't have to become anything, we don't need special help from others, to have experience God in our lives. So simple.

Ingrid Ward

5/1/2019 11:06:58 pm

I too celebrate that I made the choice to meet Serge Benhayon. Through Serge, I have not only come to understand the world, humanity and me so much more, but he has also re-introduced me to God, a relationship that I had given up on many years before. And the beautiful thing is, that I now know that God never gave up on me; he just waited patiently for me to remember the relationship we had as a child, one that I will never let go of again.

The more I make my life about energy first the greater the joy I bring. Life without having the understanding of energy doesn't make sense to me. Energy is everything to me and it is because of Serge Benhayon's inspirational way of living that I am learning to live my life where every movement made is because of energy that is either aligned to love or is not from love.

Ariana

24/2/2019 12:35:13 am

The thing to remember to consider is - if we are given gold from someone, who ever they are, what is it worth if we do nothing with it? Nothing at all. It is by using the gold to transform ourselves that we show the worth of this pure gold that is Serge Benhayon.

Rowena Stewart

2/3/2019 09:56:15 pm

"To open up to people from behind the hurts and petty jealousies that keep us small, and let people see everything I am feeling. And to connect… not just with other people but with myself." And so we are empowered to allow people to see our fragility and beauty that we have learnt to keep hidden behind closed doors and hence the opportunity to build true friendships is delivered to us, from a living platform of Love.

Inma Lorente link

31/3/2019 10:35:25 pm

Beautiful Rowena. Allowing people to see our fragility is actually a gift. It shows how is possible living in our sensitivity and vulnerability and that it's a choice which makes us not weak but stronger than ever.

'I thank God for having met Serge all those years ago, and that’s particularly easy now because I've noticed that He is always walking right beside me!'

Simon this is a very beautiful testimonial. I particularly loved reading this last statement. Coming accross to this point in life is a life changing experience because it frees up with the idea about a relationship with someone is about meeting, hanging out, entertain one an other or filling whatever need we may have. Like you I feel closer to Serge Benhayon and his family more than ever, even though we don't talk with each other and we are living in different countries.
The fact we are not physically together doesn't prevent me to feel part of his precious family too and to appreciate their committment and love to share with all that we are much more. Thanks having met them I get to feel the livingness that confirms me what love is about, a quality that can be lived and shared in every single moment with everyone and ourselves.

Mary

14/6/2019 11:22:18 pm

Simon you raise a very good question we are so busy 'doing' life and getting by that I wonder how many people actually stop
''To ask the big questions of ‘Where is the Love?’'.
It is the biggest hurt that we carry around with us like a ball and chain because we do miss love and we all seem to be seeking for the secret elixir. Serge Benhayon makes it very plain - indeed we are love everything about us is love but for many of us this is not our reality. I have come to understand that we have built a false reality of life one devoid of true love but we cannot stop feeling the unsettlement in our bodies because the particles that make up our bodies are aligned to the universe. If our particles are aligned to the universe how very grand is that, so what is it about us that we live lives completely opposite to the grandness we come from?
