Well said Otto - "Extraordinary, Ordinary". What I once thought was never possible, living a life based on an unwavering level of love, integrity and respect for all mankind without the need to react or take time out rather embrace life is what Serge Benhayon and his family have shown me, and many others, is a very possible way of living. They make it so very practical and accessible for all so much so that it is now becoming an ordinary way to live, rather than a way I never dreamt was possible before to live.

This is so true James. The way I live now was completely unfathomable say 10 years ago, or even 5 years ago. My life is constantly enriched by the experience of having known Serge Benhayon and his family - and enriched does not even begin to describe it. I now live a level of love and connection with myself, and all others that I appreciate so much and could never put a value upon. It amazes me every single day.

The same is for me, if you had asked me 10 years ago if I could see myself living with the clarity, love, true friendship and joy that I live with now on a daily basis, I would have said "I pray for that, but I have not confidence it will happen." Now 12 years after my first workshop with Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon, I can say life has more than transformed, it has metamorphosised into something I had no idea was possible.

I hear you sisters - Amelia & Heather. It has been 4 years to the weekend since I took my first Universal Medicine course and my life has changed incredibly. And one that is here to last. Not some fad, new age, new fan dangled thing. The real deal. Because Serge and his family are the real deal so they inspire us to be that too. And ultimately we choose it. Which makes it a lasting real deal. Very extraordinary. And very ordinary indeed.

I can certainly relate to your experience Amelia, and if I had read this comment 5 years ago I would not have been able to relate here at all. Living a life that has been striped of abuse and self harm and restructured into a loving way to be with oneself and others would have felt like a task too big and yet to have step by step made those changes
Stephanie Stevenson

I can wholeheartedly agree with you Amelia.

Absolutely, what Serge Benhayon brings and shares is amazing beyond words. My life has been enriched beyond measure, and is unrecognisable to how I was living before being inspired by Serge Benhayon.

Agree James, I have defiantly been inspired on the topic of not to react nor taking time out But Rather Embrace Life... 4/10/2015 11:40:04 pm
I agree, Luke and James, letting go of living in a constant state of emotional reaction to life's events has made a huge difference to my vitality. Learning that we are responsible for everything that happens has been a huge wake up call, understanding that life is simply reflecting our own choices. To see the way Serge Benhayon makes everyday joy ordinary and normal is inspiring,

Yet the power in which he presents the ordinary is truly inspiring and leaves its mark with absolute truth and humbleness.

Well said Otto and great addition James. Like you, Serge and the Benhayon family have shown me that life can be far more than I ever dreamed it could be. And what makes it so amazing is that it is so "very practical and accessible for all".
Rosie

Thank you Otto and all the commenters. Life for me too is extraordinary if I compare it to how my life was just 6 years ago, and I love what you shared Jonathan because what Serge Benhayon presents is very practical and accessible for all.
Sarah Flenley
30/8/2015 04:37:00 am
Rosie I can hear what you are saying - Serge Benhayon and his family have inspired many people to commit fully to life and not want to be anywhere else than where they are. They have incredible way of allowing you to be who you are at any given moment - the good the bad and the ugly and then to feel that, with no judgement, and then to make another choice (because you made one to get there!) if you want to stay there or not. Super simple. Super extraordinary. Super ordinary.
Amina Tumi
22/3/2016 08:29:47 pm
I agree Jonathan, it is very confirming that this is for everyone and everyone has their way of entering into it and developing it hence the way is not set in stone other then connection and self-love first and foremost.
Nattalija
7/2/2018 02:00:43 pm
The practicality of this way leaves no room for judgement but a deeper understanding that life is a classroom full of many lessons to learn.
Nattalija

This accessibility is the gold that Serge Benhayon offers all through the simplicity of the teachings and the forever student he has chosen to be.
Janet Williams
31/3/2015 05:24:22 am
Indeed, James. Who would have thought that the most precious gift in the world was to be found in the practical day to day. Thank you Serge Benhayon for being a constant reflection of the only truth that matters - that the kingdom of God lives inside every single one of us.
Sarah Flenley
25/7/2015 06:09:33 am
So gorgeous Janet. 'that the most precious gift in the world was to be found in the practical day to day'. Not in some far away spiritual place, not in some secret potion, not in us meditating in a cave (the list can go on) but simply in the practical day to day of being in this world, committing in full and being who we are. Pretty cool indeed.
Richard Mills
11/8/2015 02:45:57 pm
Beautiful Janet. We have made the Kingdom of God appear something extraordinary and out of our reach and yet, the fact is, it is here for us all, equally so as you say 'in the practical day to day'. How glorious!

As a famous man once said - "Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity." This pretty much sums up the teachings of Serge Benhayon. Of course, this does nothing to take away from the profoundness of what is offered by living in such a way. Indeed, it seems to me that the more simple our approach to life, the more profound it becomes. There are of course those who are enamoured by the myriad of complications that life has to offer, but to me these are nothing more than a simple distraction to the beauty that life has to offer when we accept ourselves in the absolute rawness of who we truly are.
Lorraine Harris
28/4/2015 03:02:02 am
Simplicity versus complications - simply said Adam and so true. I love how you sum it up by saying 'but to me these are nothing more than a simple distraction to the beauty that life has to offer when we accept ourselves in the absolute rawness of who we truly are'.
Natalie Hawthorne
14/9/2015 10:04:51 pm
Adam I totally agree the more I have simplified my life and the choices I make the more depth and wisdom is able to be understood and embraced. I love how easy life can be yet at the same time feeling absolutely content and fulfilled by who I am.
Nico van Haastrecht
23/9/2015 11:09:29 am
As you say Adam, the more we are able to live a simple life the more profound live becomes, the same as what Serge is Serge Benhayon is showing to us constantly. What he lives is true and in full commitment to all of humanity to assist us in getting away from this life of complexities and return to where we original come from, to the raw and true us in complete surrendering to the connection with God.
Ariana Ray
15/10/2015 12:10:03 pm
'When we accept ourselves in the absolute rawness of who we truly are.' We can so easily trash ourselves for all those supposed errors, faults and imperfections. To make the choice to appreciate ourselves for all the small and big moments of care we give to ourselves, now that is real self care. This is taking the rawness we are and saying yes to it as being all that we need to be. Saying yes to all the loving tenderness we show to ourselves and the dedication we have to work - that is love.
Amina Tumi
22/3/2016 08:39:09 pm
The rawness you speak of Adam is something that is hugely overlooked and not appreciated, how simple it is then to really make sure that this part of our relationship with ourselves is understood and developed so that we can naturally evolve and deepen our own understanding of ourselves and the world at large.
Deanne

I could not have dreamt that how I live and feel about life now could be possible either James. My life is radically different since meeting Serge Benhayon, I did not realise just to what extent I was living so much smaller and so much more imprisoned than before I met Serge Benhayon. On the outside however my life looks pretty much the same, same partner, same friends, same kind of job, same house etc. On the inside how my body feels, how I love people and how I understand, engage and cope with life is no longer a miserable drag that I would dull with food and pepped up by sugar just to get through each day. Really what would you pay to have this? I have paid very little for what I consider real Gold that money simply can't buy.
Stephanie Stevenson
16/11/2015 10:29:17 pm
I agree with you Deanne, it is the inside of our that the major changes are felt - the true foundations are re-built and there is a true confidence and expression birthed from this - The view of the outside world changes as the coloured lenses of illusion are stripped away.
Christoph Schnelle
27/11/2015 12:27:11 am
I agree, it is difficult to write about Serge without sounding gushing though quite a few of are managing to do it very well. When I met Serge my life was sorted, I had everything I ever wanted, yet today, 10 years later, I feel much, much better, am much more productive and am much healthier. This would not have happened without Serge.
Simon Voysey
26/3/2016 03:12:43 pm
Beautifully shared Deanne, true gold and I never felt that I knew the value of something so precious as I do now thanks to Serge Benhayon.
Nattalija

Stopping to appreciate the magnitude in which so many lives have been changed is the true work of this incredible man. A practitioner who walks what he talks and nothing less is offered.
Chan Ly
13/5/2015 03:45:24 am
I agree James, I too am living in a way that I never thought possible. To living with more awareness, responsible, love and truth has been deeply inspired by Serge Benhayon, his family and everyone I have met at Universal Medicine. I am extremely blessed and grateful for this amazing connection.
Nattalija
11/7/2018 07:01:30 pm
The inspiration from this man is endless and offers us more and more each time he shares of his dedication to humanity.
Ariana Ray
14/10/2015 12:05:22 am
'Living a life based on an unwavering level of love, integrity and respect for all mankind'. This is what I saw myself when I got to know Serge Benhayon. This is what I had been looking for and never found - until I came across Serge. He is not and never has been a 'do what I say, not what I do' person, he is rock solid integrity to the bone and lives EVERYTHING he talks about. He is truth walking- that is what I love most of all. This world and everything it has to offer is packed full of all that is not truth, to see truth being lived is a very extraordinary experience, yet ordinary at the same time.
Shelley Jones
23/10/2015 02:56:28 am
Ariana, yes to all you say - Nothing or no-one has been as inspiring as Serge Benhayon in my life - he continually inspires me with his beauty-filled life of love, responsibility and integrity.
Stephanie Stevenson
16/11/2015 10:21:09 pm
The changes I have personally witnessed that have taken place in students of The Way of The Livingness as presented by Serge Benhayon, are absolutely inspiring beyond measure.
Doug Valentine
5/3/2015 09:37:16 am
Very well said Otto and Serge making the extraordinary ordinary is showing us that we can all do likewise.
Anna McCormack
7/3/2015 01:01:50 am
This is a very true and precise way of describing Serge and his family. What may be extraordinary to some in that they live such an amazing degree of love with all those they know, is simply ordinary to them. It is their normal, and thanks to their influence in my life, it is becoming my normal also.
Joan Calder
14/3/2015 06:23:24 am
That is what is so beautiful, Anna, that through Serge and his family's example, we are shown a way for ourselves to make what at first seems extraordinary and unreachable into the normal of everyday life. The more people who listen to what Serge teaches, the more normal this "extraordinary" way of living will become.
Lorraine Harris
20/3/2015 05:08:04 pm
I agree Anna and am inspired to live in such a loving ordinary way, thanks to seeing how it can be done by watching the Benhayons in action. As has been said, to them it is normal and it can become our normal too.
Amelia Stephens
25/4/2015 09:08:27 pm
I agree Anna. More and more each day I'm realising how much more love has become normal in my life, by virtue of Serge and his family. This is deeply appreciated.
Stephanie Stevenson
24/12/2015 11:55:10 pm
Yes Anna - It is the Benhayon family's natural and normal way of living life that has been a huge inspiration to bring changes to my own life - daily miracles and Magic of God moments are very much part of this accepted new normal, plain and more simple way of living which keeps on peeling away layers of complexity from the old way of being. 8/3/2015 08:21:08 pm
Absolutely Doug and Otto. Serge shows us the ease and grace with which to truly live
Shevon Simon
9/3/2015 05:39:19 pm
Thank you Otto. I only see Serge Benhayon and many of the Benhayon family a few times a year but they feel like old friends to me. They and one of the Universal Medicine practitioners were the first people in my life to treat me with care and the utmost respect. A respect I am now learning to have for myself and all others. A true example of 'each one teach one'
mary sanford
17/3/2015 04:56:00 pm
What you have shared Shevon is the same for me too. I see Serge Benhayon for a few weeks each year, but the love and care he shows to me and everyone else is the same consistent ever out pouring of true heartfelt love and compassion. The world needs more people like Serge Benhayon and this is what he teaches that we too have the same capacity to love and be loved .
Rik Connors
14/3/2015 10:06:46 pm
Yes Doug and Otto. The more I am with Serge and feel the enormity on what he presents in large groups or personally is huge. He holds NO ONE less. The profound way that he lives is so inspiring that you start to live with not just you in mind, but for all living beings. Having a connection to the All is a living Art that changes the way you see and Live Life - extra-ordinary that transfers into normal ordinary.
Simon Voysey
29/4/2015 09:24:53 pm
I feel what you are describing well here is the word spherical - to live spherically, which could be described in many ways, of course, one of which could mean being at one point but embracing all and not needing to go anywhere and not having to touch anyone but being open to letting everyone in and letting oneself out in full. It has been such a blessing to meet someone, Serge Benhayon, who can actually live the truth of this as an ordinary way of living.
Rowena Stewart
30/4/2015 02:44:58 pm
Yes very true Rik, connecting to the All is a 'living art', a way of being that brings life to the ideals and concepts we hold about love and God and Serge Benhayon is definitely a master of this art. I love the way he holds everyone equal, the way he brings all of his focus and attention to all he does. Whenever one meets him, one can feel the totality of that presence, there is not one atom in his body that is thinking about something else, they are all focussed on the same thing, being present and is brought to all he meets, whether it is a family member, me, you or someone serving him in the supermarket, everyone receives that un-divided attention and the beautiful quality of respect and openness that resides in his heart.
Stephanie Stevenson
25/12/2015 12:00:50 am
Well said Rick. Serge Benhayon is an Absolute Master at holding everyone in equal-ness. With true connection to the All - it is impossible to see anyone as less.
Chan Ly
18/3/2015 05:44:46 am
Very true Doug. It is an extremely inspirational way of living that I have never come across before. 'Making the extraordinary ordinary' very well said Otto and Doug.
Ruth Ketnor
18/4/2015 06:14:02 pm
Neither had I Chan until meeting Serge, extremely inspirational .. I very much agree.
Luke
5/4/2015 07:14:32 am
Simplicity making life more profound, very strange to hear. However it is true. And Serge is a clear example of this
Lorraine Harris
13/4/2015 05:18:49 am
What you say is so true Doug and isn't that just so inspirational. Extraordinary ordinary is the way forward and possible for us all.
Sandra Dallimore
11/2/2016 09:13:22 am
Exactly Doug. Serge is extraordinary because there are so few people living with the level of integrity he does, but it is ordinary in that anyone of us can choose that for ourselves. So Serge is inspiring us all to live an extraordinary life.
Meg Valentine
5/3/2015 10:05:08 am
Otto - beautiful comment - I completely agree with every word you have written.
Kevin McHardy
5/3/2015 11:33:31 am
I have also known Serge for over ten years and what is so beautiful about him is the absolute truth he comes from, he panders to no one, and as you said Otto it is the unwavering consistency to love that is so Extraordinary. Ordinary.
Judith Andras
7/3/2015 09:06:42 am
Very well said Kevin. Love has nothing to do with pandering or pleasing or being nice. The way Serge Benhayon relates to everybody without exception is the highest form of love and truth I have ever encountered and therefore it is the highest marker for me to aspire to.
David Upfill
23/3/2015 09:42:26 am
Beautifully said Judith. And we are all in our essence that Love and Truth equally so.
Rowena Stewart
29/3/2015 03:03:50 pm
Very true Kevin and Judith. Real love speaks truth, even when we don't want to hear it and is always delivered without judgement or arrogance. Serge Benhayon is the first person I have ever met who speaks truth so gracefully that it is difficult to be offended. Serge has set the highest marker of love that I have ever encountered too and is for me a great example to emulate.
Stephanie Stevenson
31/3/2015 01:21:08 am
I wholeheartedly agree with you Judith - no pandering, pleasing or being nice - Serge Benhayon just relates and delivers to everyone equally so - "the highest form of love and truth I have ever encountered and therefore it is the highest marker for me to aspire to".
Shevon Simon
15/4/2015 06:04:29 am
I've always equated not being nice = being rude, but Serge Benhayon and the Benhayon family don't play nice at all - they are loving, generous, real and very very respectful.
Chan Ly
13/5/2015 03:57:44 am
Beautiful Judith, I completely agree with you. True Love is not about pandering, pleasing or being nice but about living truth at all times.
Lorraine Harris
7/11/2015 11:44:29 am
Beautifully said Judith. 'Love has nothing to do with pandering or pleasing or being nice' - how wonderful it will be when more people understand this.
Michelle McWaters
29/3/2015 03:02:48 pm
Yes Kevin I agree. What I truly appreciate about Serge too is that in the lack of pandering, when something needs to be said, it is done with such love that the only response is to accept it rather than get tied up in knots about it! (Well, even if there is a little twinge, the truth is already known so the knots only last as long as you are prepared to hold on to any stubborn pride...)
Vicky Cooke
10/5/2015 04:06:38 am
Yep love it and it is so true, Serge Benhayon panders to no one which is quite refreshing as not a lot of people do this in fear of not being liked.
Monika Rietveld
5/3/2015 12:13:41 pm
What a beautiful way to put it Otto. Serge does make something extra ordinary (meeting every human being consistent with love and seeing each and every one as his equals). I have experienced this myself and I love watching Serge being with and meeting people. And I always find it a joy to witness him being with his family as well. Especially the playfulness and the almost palpable love. Simply gorgeous.
Michelle Ryan
9/3/2015 10:42:43 pm
Yes Monika so do I. I love listening to Serge speak and engaging with people. Always as an equal, never pandering but playful and joyful too.
Rebecca Wingrave
13/3/2015 04:21:42 pm
I agree Monika, 'I love watching Serge being with and meeting people. And I always find it a joy to witness him being with his family as well. Especially the playfulness and the almost palpable love. Simply gorgeous.' I enjoy watching him with people on courses too and with his family and have never noticed him frown or look bored or like he doesn't want to be there, he always looks focussed on that person, open and loving, very beautiful to see and feel.
Mary Adler
5/3/2015 01:02:01 pm
I met and was met by Serge Benhayon in 2006 and it changed my life. I had always wrestled with the question of what life was all about and had a feeling that there had to be more to life than I understood and at that first meeting I knew I had found the person who could help me find the answer. Every time I listen to a presentation, attend a workshop or a course I hear words of wisdom that deepen my understanding of myself the Universe and everyone and everything in it.
Anne McRitchie
6/3/2015 04:10:14 am
Mary, you speak for all of us when you describe how meeting Serge Benhayon changed your life. I met Serge Benhayon in 2005 and like you, after attending my first presentation, I knew that I had ‘come home. Everything that Serge Benhayon said was already deeply known within my body and as I continue to “listen to a presentation, attend a workshop or a course I hear words of wisdom that deepen my understanding of myself the Universe and everyone and everything in it”. Like you, I also found that the ‘most important discovery is that deep within I am true love and that love has been there all along just waiting for me connect’ – this realisation has changed my life. During the years, I have come to know Serge and his extended family on a personal level and I continue to be inspired by the love, harmony and grace which is their natural way of being, not only as a family but with all others.
Lily Nikora
9/3/2015 06:05:52 am
Anne and Mary - you both have described my experience and sentiments also. Though, it took me a little while to truly come home to the love within me - I was still pulled by the glamour of other modalities, at first ....only to find they left me feeling less, and of course needing to pay more and do more.
rebecca wingrave
6/3/2015 01:40:22 pm
I agree Mary, 'Every time I listen to a presentation, attend a workshop or a course I hear words of wisdom that deepen my understanding of myself the Universe and everyone and everything in it.' Beautifully written.
Michelle Ryan
7/3/2015 05:20:54 pm
I absolutely, whole heartedly, completely agree Mary. Always words of heart felt wisdom with compassion for all.
Jonathan Stewart
7/3/2015 04:08:17 am
Beautifully expressed Mary and like Anne & Rebecca, "Every time I listen to a presentation, ..... everything in it" is so true. I have known Serge and his family for 9 years I never stop being amazed at the constancy of love of expressed and depth of wisdom shared.
mary sanford
8/3/2015 12:38:12 am
Certainly you have spoken for all of us Otto and Mary, those that have attended the presentations of Universal Medicine have discovered for themselves that life is about love and sharing this with all, which is just how Serge Benhayon lives his life to the benefit of us all.
Lorr
25/3/2015 04:11:02 am
I add my name and total agreement Otto, Mary and everyone who has discovered that life is simply about love, as shared with us by Serge Benhayon and his lovely family. When I attended a workshop in 2006, I had no idea what a life-changing event that would be.
Felicity
8/3/2015 07:42:32 am
Hi All.
Gabriele Conrad
9/4/2015 07:31:30 am
I agree, Serge holds everybody in equal love and never ever deviates from that. His consistency and dedication are second to none.
David Upfill
9/3/2015 06:25:49 am
This has been a profound shift for me also Mary, reconnecting to what is within and feeling what the truth is as opposed to searching for 'answers' outside of me. I am re-learning to trust myself. We all have access to, and deep down, know the same truths.
Vicky Cooke
18/3/2015 05:26:25 pm
Mary, I wholeheartedly agree with all you have written. I was searching as well for the true understanding about life. Every person I saw, book I read or course I went on left me with still no true understanding and many issues left that had not been healed. Serge knows what he is talking about, he knows energy inside out like I have known no other to know and helped me understand so much giving insights that are so clear. Serge Benhayon is a very wise man indeed, and yes I am no longer searching for the truth anymore but starting to connect to the love, truth and wisdom that is equally within me too.
Shevon Simon
3/5/2015 05:28:26 am
Your expression here is so beautiful Vicky, confirming all that Serge Benhayon and the Benhayon family are about - living Love every step of the way, not from social niceties but from the deep Love that exists within. Serge Benhayon has come to show us all a way back to this Love, that we long ago separated from.
Rowena Stewart
25/3/2015 07:03:54 am
Here, here Mary. I thought I already knew the meaning of life but on meeting Serge and being met by him, my whole understanding and appreciation of why I am here, why we are all here shifted into another dimension! I have never met anyone who truly walks and lives his talk like Serge does, he is a perpetual source of love, truth and wisdom, a real blessing in this world and a great teacher, showing us all that we too can be all that he is if we so choose.
mary sanford
27/3/2015 04:31:09 pm
So well said Mary I will add that Serge never preaches or tells anyone what to do or think. He presents absolute love and he leaves you free to feel this or not. I know for a fact that my life has been so enriched by knowing Serge Benhayon and his family.
Ingrid Ward
14/4/2015 04:21:11 pm
Mary, your first sentence stopped me in my tracks as I realised that not only had I met Serge Benhayon in 2005, he had also met me: the first time in my life that someone could see me for who I truly was, without judgment, without expectations and with unconditional love. Thank you for this very big “aha” moment.
sandra williamson
17/6/2015 05:54:50 am
So true Mary. It wasn’t until attending presentations by Serge Benhayon that I realised that what I was missing in life was loving myself as the beautiful and precious being that I am. When this love in me is firmly claimed and lived in each moment I then hold everyone equally as lovingly, regardless of anything that comes at me.
Stephanie Stevenson
25/12/2015 12:07:55 am
Thank you Mary - I am in wholehearted agreement with your words - the huge shift for me is continually coming back to my innermost essence of Love, Harmony, Joy, Stillness and Truth rather than relying on outer sources and the distorted reflections they are.
Maryline Decompoix
5/3/2015 01:03:50 pm
Thank you Otto. Serge and his family are living extraordinary loving lives and are showing the world that actually this extraordinary has the potential to become ordinary because it is simple and joyful. Life is simple when we dedicate every moment to love.
Eva Rygg
8/3/2015 05:00:05 am
So true Maryline "Life is simple when we dedicate every moment to love".
vanessa mchardy
20/3/2015 02:48:33 pm
Yes I love that Maryline "Life is simple when we dedicate every moment to love" it says a lot, and having seen and felt this lived by many not jus Serge shows that it is possible and not some lofty spiritual height but very practical and real down to choices and dedication to every moment.
Kylie Connors
16/3/2015 08:25:03 pm
Absolutely Maryline, I agree.
Simon Williams
10/4/2015 03:12:24 am
What if the extraordinary became the new normal.. led by the inspiration of this amazing man. He has blazed the trail, and his family, and others like Otto are showing us all its not a one off. We simply need to dedicate ourselves to living the love in every moment.
Luke Yokota

dedicating every moment to love can indeed change our lives.
Vicky Cooke

I concur : ) you are so right. Serge Benhayon's love has never wavered. And his consistency and commitment to love with every single person he meets is, as you say Extraordinary. Ordinary. Because it is currently not how everyone lives but Serge shows us how easy it is to live this, and it is so rewarding to because your life and relationships change completely, for the better. Continuing to evolve in away you could not even imagine but that is very real and true. It is very lovely indeed.

I was thinking about the consistence of the Benhayon family just the other day, and how rare it is. Most people we know are up and down and sometimes they are there and sometimes they aren't etc, but with every one of the Benhayon family they have always been there, not because they don't have bad times, but because the love they have for everyone and for themselves is greater than the bad times.

Universal Medicine has not promised me wall to wall sunshine, but through Serge and his family as you express Rebecca living examples of the way to shine a light through the clouds
Vicky Cooke
2/7/2015 05:52:53 am
This is great what you have said Rebecca, the Benhayon family do have things to look at and deal with but they look at this as a way of evolving and do it lovingly, with the knowing that if they evolve they are helping others to evolve too .. now that is true Love.
Judy Young
14/9/2015 10:59:23 am
This is true Rebecca, never have I seen any of the Benhayon family in the yo-yo of emotion, they are always still and loving and my experience of them is that they make time for everyone when it is needed.
Rowena Stewart
5/3/2015 01:16:08 pm
Your observations are so true Otto, Serge and his family have made this extraordinary level of love the norm in their family and this norm is extended to every single person they meet. We are not talking emotional love here, we are talking true respect, honesty, openness and presence. This love is noticeable because the majority of people, myself included, have not experienced or lived this before and therefore Serge and his family cannot help but stand out in the crowd, they live what we have all been longing for AND they support all those they meet to live this love too. I know my life has been completely and beautifully transformed since the day I first met Serge Benhayon and continues to be so. I am without a shadow of a doubt a far better person these days as a direct consequence of meeting such an extraordinary ordinary man, as is the whole of humanity. Serge Benhayon is a wise, compassionate and truly charitable man and we have much to learn from him.

21/7/2015 02:25:21 pm
This beautifully expressed Rowena and I completely agree with you. As you say "Serge and his family have made this extraordinary level of love the norm in their family" and by doing so they have shown that that norm is available for all.
Judy Young
5/3/2015 01:47:54 pm
Hi Otto, It is extraordinary to observe Serge Benhayon and the consistently loving way of being he presents and has presented as long as I have known him. Serge shows us a true example of brotherhood. 5/3/2015 01:57:57 pm
The level of ever deepening love shared within the Benhayon family and equally beyond with everyone else is something I observe and experience for over 10 years and is a never ending source of inspiration for me, my wife and friends. At times it seems to good to be true as it is way far beyond what we consider as normal or is familiar in society, but it is consistent, solid, reliable and what actually everyone longs for but may not have thought of as possible - a true and much needed role model.
Josephine Bell
6/3/2015 05:04:28 am
I agree with your comment Alex, that at times the the love lived by the Benhayons can seem too good to be true because it is something, that although innate in everyone, is not commonly seen in our society and yet we all long for it. Serge Benhayon and his family show us what is possible and as you say, provide an endless source of graceful inspiration.
Ariana Ray
7/3/2015 03:45:24 am
They do indeed show what is possible, and that is it. The way they live their life is leading the way for us all. There is nothing too good to be true here, just a presentation of what is possible for us all.
Jane Keep
14/3/2015 04:56:33 pm
I agree Josephine, and Alex. I absolutely know it to be true in that I have observed over 10 years many people from all walks of life who have been deeply inspired by Serge Benhayon, and who for themselves have made changes in their own lives of their own free will. This inspires me to see and feel that there is indeed another way - a way that is not just Serge Benhayon's way - but a way that is possible for us all equally so.
Ruth Ketnor
12/4/2015 03:25:01 pm
Yes Ariana, Serge and the Benhayon family are showing the way for us all through the way they live their life, true role models for a true way of living. As Josephine says they are an endless source of graceful inspiration.
Monika Korb
6/3/2015 06:37:40 pm
Serge and his beautiful family are to me real role models for true relationships. It is very inspiring to see this family solidness and true care and support living and working as a team - and they have fun - I can tell by the look in their sparkling eyes.
Maryline Decompoix
7/3/2015 02:18:14 pm
..... Indeed Monika, they have fun. Their lives are dedicated to love and take life lightly. Beautiful to see.
Esther Auf der Maur
16/3/2015 09:41:54 pm
Absolutely true Monika, Serge and all his family are true role models for true relationships. I like the sparkle in Serge's eyes too; his sense of humour is just divine : ).
Natalie Hawthorne
7/5/2015 04:34:45 pm
You most definitely can see it in the Benhayon eyes they speak enormous volumes of the Love, Truth and Joy that they choose to live in. Seriously inspiring and awesome to have as a reflection of what is possible on a day-to-day basis.
Lorraine Harris
13/8/2015 08:58:41 pm
So true Monika. The Benhayons are fun and show by example how relationships can be when we come from love not need. Amazing role models showing us the way in their everyday living.
Rowena Stewart
7/4/2015 05:11:46 am
Yes so true Alex, at times it does seem too good to be true and there are some who reading these testimonies may think so too. But this love is real and you are correct when you say it is what we have longed for. Serge Benhayon and his family have been and continue to be a constant source of support, love, inspiration and wisdom and now we have been shown how to live this love too, how to create it for ourselves and build a consistently loving life to share with all. A true blessing in a very distressed world.
Natalie Hawthorne
16/8/2015 01:20:51 am
- Without question what the Benhayon family presents is a possible way of life that is making choices from our essence and it is super inspiring. I know that I never really thought that there was another way of living and choosing to be. But when I was introduced to the Benhayon family what they were living was intriguing, I wanted to know more as I could see that what they are living is completely different to what I know and have been shown. There is no magic tricks or any ridiculousness to what they share - it is super simple, easy, loving, caring and they take full responsibility for absolutely every action, word or movement that they make. The Benhayon's are true role models and I too am thankful to have them in my life.
Shirley-Ann Walters
5/3/2015 02:05:00 pm
So well said Otto, I too have never seen anything but the extraordinary ordinary from him and his family over nearly a decade either. It is very very real, and natural and an enormous inspiration to mankind.
Gabriele Conrad
5/3/2015 02:46:07 pm
Yes, I totally agree. Serge Benhayon's commitment to truth and love is indeed unwavering and has inspired thousands.
Rosemary Dunstan
5/3/2015 03:21:31 pm
I agree with you wholeheartedly Otto, what you say is so true, in the eight years I have known Serge and his family I have never once seen any one of them waver in their deep understanding and love of everyone they meet on a personal basis, and their deep love of humanity as a whole. Serge and his family are truly beauty full extraordinary ordinary people. Their way of living and being is a true inspiration for all.
Kathleen Baldwin
5/3/2015 04:35:23 pm
I wholeheartedly agree Otto, as I have known Serge Benhayon and his family for the last 12 years, and not only have I never seen the love Serge shares with his family and for that matter everyone he comes into contact with waver, but also I have witnessed the transformation in all that are willing to be inspired by that love; myself and my entire extended family included.
Leonne Sharkey
5/3/2015 05:41:34 pm
Yes, Serge Benhayon's consistency is impossible to fake and is truly extraordinary. Amazingly, Serge presents that this is absolutely ordinary and the natural way for us all and I can feel this to be true as a result of the unwavering and loving expression he consistently presents. Serge is an absolute inspiration in every way Thank you Otto.
Luke Yokota
9/5/2015 07:36:31 pm
Agree Leonne, unwavering in every way on every day
Rachel Mascord
5/3/2015 05:46:01 pm
Yes Otto, you are correct in the expression extraordinary ordinary.
Lorraine Harris
13/3/2015 05:55:48 am
A big smile is on my face as I read your comments Rachel and remember the silly puns and sense of humour that is so much a part of Serge. Sometimes he just can't help it! An extraordinary ordinary man, a perfect description Otto. Precious, inspirational, unique, unwavering, consistent and so much more, showing us how to be light in our daily lives and love unconditionally. It is infectious, spreading worldwide the way forward with joy and a spring in our steps.
mary sanford
23/3/2015 04:58:12 pm
As well as his sense of humor he is also very willing to share with us all the times he has 'stuffed up' and shared when he used to hide all the muffins that Curtis made so he could eat them later. He used to love cake and chips, but he discovered that if he ate these things his body would react, his nose would run and he would feel out of sorts with his body so he stopped eating them. When people listen to the audios they will discover a brilliant sense of humour in Serge and they will get to understand for them selves that he is a very ordinary man but has the most extraordinary ability to understand life and all it's mysteries
Natalie Hawthorne
17/8/2015 06:18:05 am
Lorraine I absolutely love Serge and how he presents, the way he delivers the most all emcompassing subject yet it is delivered in such an accessible way with Serge's fantastic humour and playfulness. I really love attending all that Serge has to offer.
adam warburton
27/4/2015 04:42:36 pm
Touche Rachel. I could not have expressed it better myself. Serge's life shows that joy is not found in achievement or accomplishment, but rather in the simplicity of being.
Matilda Clark
5/3/2015 05:58:00 pm
Letting ourselves be inspired by the unwavering consistency and commitment to life, love and truth that Serge Benhayon and his family live. This is a true way forward.
Maryline Decompoix
7/3/2015 02:20:50 pm
Indeed Matilda, it is where we are going and they are setting a true marker for humanity.
Hannah Morden
8/4/2015 02:32:43 pm
Indeed Matllda. To me 'inspired' is the key word there.
Sara Harris
5/3/2015 05:59:27 pm
I completely agree. Unwavering love and endless inspiration is all I have ever known from Serge Benhayon. Looking at the photos on this website brings tears to my eyes...so much love and light in one place!
Ingrid Ward
4/5/2015 05:45:05 pm
I too feel the same about the photos Sara, and you have said it so beautifully, "so much love and light in one place!"; and enough love and light for us all.
Coleen Hensey
5/3/2015 06:09:12 pm
Yes: Serge takes the meaning of consistency to a whole different level, love and truth lived and breathed every moment, including when this love is not reciprocated.
Sue queenboriugh
5/3/2015 06:36:13 pm
Serge is truly and extraordinary ordiapnary man. With a full schedule to his work life he yet makes time for anyone who wants to see him at the end of his lectures, treating everyone equally, brotherhood in action. Every time I hear him speak or read one of his books I come away feeling inspired. His love has no bounds; it is there for everyone. An amazing beautiful man.
Samantha England
5/3/2015 07:11:49 pm
So so true Otto, what Serge Benhayon and his family share with us is immeasurable I am often lost for words by the absolute dedication, humbleness, wisdom and true love this man shares with humanity.
Gail Fuller
5/3/2015 08:57:32 pm
Serge and his family display dedication, commitment, love, and consistency to a degree that is very rarely seen in the world today.
Eva Rygg
6/3/2015 12:40:01 am
Otto, you have with a few words summed up the unwavering quality that Serge Benhayon brings to humanity. The consistency and commitment Serge has, to share this quality with EVERYONE equally, is what makes the difference. I have never come across anything like it.
Rowena Stewart
13/4/2015 02:23:05 pm
I agree Eva, this unwavering quality that Serge Benhayon brings is unique and yet the way Serge lives, teaches, presents brings this gift to everyone's door step and provides us with a choice, to find this within ourselves too, or walk away. I have never met a man whose compassion enables him to feel the true essence within us all and never once judges us by our behaviour, but will always expose the truth of our choices. Yes a unique man in this world but a true representative of who we truly are, should we choose to make the same choices.
David
13/1/2018 05:39:44 am
Eva i fully agree, and yet what I can also feel and notice is that what Serge brings is far more than I currently can fathom, its timeless yet current in each moment I look back on anything presented. At a time when the world is falling apart, we have the answers - its up to us each and every one of us what we do with that.
Henrietta Chang
6/3/2015 01:02:55 am
I love the words 'Extraordinary. Ordinary.' Otto, which so describe this amazing yet so natural man that Serge Benhayon is...Inspiration oozes out from this guy in so many different ways - and not matter how 'busy' he is with work, family life and all the different projects he is involved in, he always has the time for you...again, just so inspiring.
Joel Levin
30/6/2015 07:19:11 am
I agree Henrietta, it is such a fitting phrase for Serge. Extraordinary in what he lives and shows is possible. Ordinary in his humility and commitment to showing it is equal within all.
Thomas Scott
6/3/2015 01:36:03 am
I agree Otto; it is extraordinary that Serge Benhayon and his extended family are consistently loving and supportive to all and everyone. They have made this there ordinary way of living.
Aimee Edmonds
6/3/2015 01:37:36 am
Yes Otto it is this level of commitment and consistency that has inspired myself and many many others who have also witnessed Serge Benhayon and all the Benhayon family live life. This was something so beautiful that stood out for me from my very first meeting 7 years ago, that it was just so normal, no bells or whistles, no need in any of them to be identified by what they do...just a genuine love for themselves and humanity.
Jessica Williams
28/5/2015 11:33:42 pm
Well said Aimee - it is a "genuine love for themselves and humanity" that stands out, as for many who seem to be charitable, or especially kind, it is always to other people first. But my experience of the Benhayons is that they love humanity so much because they love themselves deeply first.
Francene Cartaar
6/3/2015 01:53:09 am
A couple of years ago when I was attending the Universal Medicine Clinic for an appointment Serge and I crossed paths in the corridor for a fleeting moment. Serge did not really know me and we both exchanged hellos. In that split second the feeling that I was being bowed to was so clear. It was as if Serge was bowing to me in respect and love and for me it raised in me that I was equal and not less than this extraordinary ordinary man. This has stayed with me always as a reminder of the equalness Serge holds everyone in. Thank you Serge.
Elodie Darwish
6/3/2015 04:10:45 am
Totally agree Otto. I first came across Serge's presentations in 2009, and I can wholeheartedly say that the level of consistency that he holds is abslutely unwavering, and that goes for his family too. I can also say that about the many Universal Medicine Practitioners I have seen over the years who continue to support me in every area of my life.
Heather Pope
6/3/2015 04:41:00 am
Over 12 years I have also had the privilege of attending sessions and workshops with Serge Benhayon and the broader Benhayon family as part of the services offered by Universal Medicine. In that time observing the Benhayon family and Serge Benhayon I have also never once seen their respect, kindness, or love waver. They are extraordinary, and role models for us all, and yet their lives are entirely normal. They do not waver in their commitment to have harmonious relationships and truly joyful lives.
Bina Pattel
6/3/2015 01:07:50 pm
Like you Heather, I feel it is a privilege and an honour to attend workshops and sessions with Serge Benhayon and the Benhayon family as part of the services offered by Universal Medicine.
Maryline Decompoix
7/3/2015 02:27:31 pm
I am with you Bina - Serge and his family have inspired me to live my potential and to keep deepening my full expression. I never been so alive in my life and this is a fabulous feeling.
felicity
8/3/2015 07:48:15 am
I too was one of those people who turned their lives around completely as a direct result of meeting Serge and his family. I feel so blessed to know him, I have never looked back
Natalie Hawthorne
24/6/2015 04:24:48 pm
Meeting, knowing and becoming a friend Serge Benhayon has changed my life immensely. I was on a path of lovelessness, given up and caught up in the treadmill of life. Now after many years of attending workshops, courses and presentations by Serge Benhayon and the principles of the Ageless Wisdom my life is Full of Love, Joy, Harmony, Truth and Stillness. Five words that I had no real understanding of and today to the best of my ability and making constant choices to live these daily - I am Blessed to have meet Serge and I am deeply Thank-Full.
Gina Dunlop
6/3/2015 04:49:04 am
Absolutely, wholeheartedly agree Otto. Extraordinary, ordinary. I searched my whole life to understand the true meaning of love - I knew it existed - and it wasn't until I met Serge Benhayon and his family that I was brought to understand it was existing in me all the time and I exist in and with it all day every day. The unwavering support and love afforded to myself and thousands of others to live in a way to be this love, see this love and bring this love so all others in the world is unremitting and unwavering. It is not Serge's 'knowledge' to own or give; he seeks no accolades - his intention is to ignite it in others to then bring it to others. This deep love we think is extraordinary, Serge has allowed the world to understand is simply ordinary in all of us and that the extraordinary is actually the wayward behaviours we have deviated to. My heartfelt appreciation to Serge Benhayon for bringing me back to live with love, to my true essence, the ordinary I should always have been.
Chan Ly
6/3/2015 05:08:44 am
Serge Benhayon and his family are absolutely inspirational. 'Their consistency and commitment to love, every second of every day with every single person in their lives is so total that it has become their ordinary.' This is so, so true, I have never seen any family like the Benhayon's. I am extremely inspired and grateful to have witness this true way of living.
Amanda Woodmansey
6/3/2015 05:27:48 am
So absolutely true Otto, Serge Benhayon is awesome and amazing and it is absolutely natural and ordinary for him to be so. He reflects to us that we have the same potential to be this as well. It is lovely to know and feel this, and how beautiful to see these people we know and love, shining so brightly. Inspirational!
rosanna bianchini
6/3/2015 05:42:05 am
It is indeed extraordinary to come across a way of being whether it's with, family, friends or aquaintances that has this commitment to being loving and respectful. I've known Serge, his family and many of his friends for a long time now and I've seen that because of this consistent unwavering choice to make love, respect and integrity a fundamental part of life, it becomes very normal to be with each other in this way.
Eva Rygg
8/3/2015 05:10:39 am
Rosanna, I love how you say that because of the consitency that you have observed in Serge, his family and friends over time "it becomes very normal to be with each other in this way" I couldn't agree more - this IS the normal.
Rowena Stewart
23/4/2015 03:10:57 pm
Yes well said Rosanna. The consistency with which this level of love and respect are lived is the true foundation of everyday life. It becomes so ingrained that to express in any other way is very un-natural. Serge and his family have restored the norm to life and now it is up to the rest of us to establish that norm in our lives too.
Ingrid Ward
1/7/2015 04:48:02 pm
I totally agree Rowena when you say: "Serge and his family have restored the norm to life", and what a wonderful new norm we now have on offer thanks to the Benhayon family, who consistently live the love that they present to the world.
Cathy
6/3/2015 06:09:13 am
I continue to be wowed and inspired by the unwavering consistency that Serge Benhayon and his family bring to everything they do. They are exemplary role models of ordinary extraordinariness. 6/3/2015 06:19:19 am
Most of us spend our lives seeking for something and when I first met Serge Benhayon it felt like my search was over, I'd come home. I find all his presentations full of deep understanding and insights into how it is for all of humanity, the choices we make and how we make ourselves sick by the way we live. His consistency and commitment are a constant reflection to all of us as equals and shows us how we too can choose to live in a way that leads to joy and harmony in ourselves and in all our relationships.
Ingrid Ward
22/12/2015 11:04:34 pm
The reflection that Serge Benhayon offers us is one of the most amazing commitment and consistency, and so very inspiring. It is a reflection that shines ever so brightly and one that I have never turned away from in the 11 years that I have known Serge as it shows me very clearly that I too can live in the same way.
Stephanie Stevenson
25/12/2015 01:03:27 am
Yes, I know this too Carmel - on meeting Serge Benhayon it was an absolute knowing of 'coming home'. The constant external seeking was felt deeply and the true return path home commenced in that moment.
Lee Poole
6/3/2015 06:26:23 am
Indeed extraordinarily ordinary. The love that Serge Benhayon has for all is profound. He is a constant inspiration.
Robert Moussalli
6/3/2015 06:48:57 am
Indeed Otto, the extraordinary unwavering consistency that Serge Benhayon and his family live is a source and degree of true inspiration and an all-encompassing love I have never before witnessed... and they make it look so ordinary.
Ariana Ray
21/3/2015 07:09:19 pm
The consistency Serge Benhayon presents is the central lynch pin to the inspiration here. Consistency builds a way of life that we can all benefit from.
Victoria Picone
6/3/2015 06:57:02 am
The loving consistency Serge Benhayon has been reflecting over the ten years plus that I have know him is incredibly inspiring. When you are met with the fullness of love you are and witness how this can be lived very naturally each day, it reminds us we can also do the same. The commitment Serge Benhayon and his family have to living and expressing the truth unapologetically, and to all equally, has not been a model I have seen before, and yet it is so naturally who we are.
Sharon Gavioli
6/3/2015 07:22:23 am
Serge Benhayon has blown me away with the level of support and love he has offered me and my family in the mist of his everyday life. No matter what I have asked, he has always been willing to offer support. WIthout this support, I would not have been able to deal with the death of 3 close members of my family in a nine month period. Yes, he is an ordinary man but he has been extraordinary with what he has offered me which I am forever grateful and inspired by! 6/3/2015 09:35:39 am
It sure is extraordinarily ordinary Otto! Isn't it an indictment of how we humans have been living that when we see real, true Love we call it extraordinary! This is a direct admission that we have not made Love our ordinary living way. Recognizing this is what allows change to begin, and it is Serge who has opened us up to recognizing it.
Eva Rygg
8/3/2015 05:21:37 am
I second this Dianne - well said.
Marshall Chang
8/3/2015 07:25:00 pm
This is such a great point Dianne. Most people cannot even describe or define what love is and some people even deny it's existence! But you are absolutely right in stating that Love should be our ordinary everyday living way as it is our most natural and effortless way of being. It is actually quite silly how much effort and work, we as a humanity put into not being in our most natural state of Love...
Maryline Decompoix
12/3/2015 03:00:25 pm
'.... true Love we call it extraordinary!'. As I feel into your sentence Dianne, it is the measure of how much we have 'fallen' as a human race. True Love should be our normal and ordinary.
Alex Braun
21/3/2015 01:52:09 pm
Serge wakes us out of the slumber of indifference, giving up-ness, surrogate emotional love or simply the state of unawareness the human being is identified with. That concerns every aspect of life and hence every aspect of life needs to be addressed. In essence we are love and beings of relationship, to live truly loving relationships is key and that is what Serge and his family do and present and inspire.
Stephen Gammack
6/3/2015 09:52:45 am
It really is quite something that one man can be so consistent and so consistently loving. I find with Serge that he is so non judgemental and offers such a grand opportunity for us all to be likewise, filling our lives with more love and care for one another.
Matilda Clark
8/3/2015 01:03:58 pm
Being inspired to fill 'our lives with more love and care for one another' - that is an aspiration and focus worth getting out of bed for. I am endlessly grateful for the example Serge Benhayon lives and proves is possible for us all.
Bina Pattel
6/3/2015 01:03:06 pm
It is the consistency that I have observed in Serge Benhayon over the past 9 years that confirms to me that this man is the real deal without any doubt. His unwavering commitment to humanity is beyond words.
Ariana Ray
3/10/2015 10:49:53 pm
'Serge Benhayon and his family are living real role models.... ordinary people that are simply extraordinary.' In a world where role models are all about the exterior glam and show and nothing about substance and quality, this statement stands out from the crowd. 'Ordinary people who are simply extraordinary' is certainly worth studying - nothing else seems to be working in the world, glam role models go down the pan as easily as a puff of wind, whereas Serge Benhayon is standing the test of time as being the steadiest and most consistent guy going.
Richard Mills
6/3/2015 01:21:27 pm
In my four and counting years of knowing Serge Benhayon, I have never felt nor witnessed anything other than absolute equal-ness from him. This is extraordinary in our current society and yet, when it is experienced it is also the most normal thing in the world. Extraordinary, ordinary is spot on. 6/3/2015 02:03:01 pm
I have also found this to be true, Otto. In the ten years I have known Serge Benhayon he has never wavered in his consistency and commitment to be love with every person all the time. This is quite remarkable in a world where this is not the norm, but it is normal for him and his family to express in this way. I am not consistent with my own loving way, but I am so inspired to keep self-developing so that one day I can be. Knowing Serge and his family have shown what is truly possible and for that I will forever be deeply grateful.
Gemma
6/3/2015 02:38:14 pm
You put this so succinctly Otto and I too am in awe of the consistency in which Serge makes everything about people and everything about Love. The ordinariness of this Love makes what we do see in the world look crazy - because it is - compared to the love within each and every one of us. Serge reflects this Love for us all to know who we truly are.
Ingrid Ward
22/12/2015 11:11:02 pm
I love what you have said here Gemma: it stopped me and demanded another read: "The ordinariness of this Love makes what we do see in the world look crazy:" It sure does, as this love is constantly available for all of us, no one is excluded, but when you look at what is happening in the world today there is certainly very little of it in sight.
Simone Ellis

I too have had the honour, to witness and experience the depth of love and commitment that Serge Benhayon and his family live every day. I have watch as the Benhayon family has grown and also watched the love grow as well - seeing this first hand you know that this is all that you could every truly want for yourself or any other. To live the love that we all are, every day is such a magnificent way to live for all.

I do not get to see Serge in person very often but the impact he has on my life and that of my family over the last few years is huge. This isn't about a "bell and whistles" impact but rather a constant flow of love and connection to assist us in how we are living in all aspects of our lives We email Serge when we feel the need to check in about something we may be struggling with or querying, and his response is always prompt, confirming and entirely appropriate. His commitment to mankind is extraordinary.
Michelle Ryan

What I too have experienced Otto is the consistency. Serge Benhayon and the Benhayon family have never, ever, wavered from their utter commitment to truth and love.
Michelle McWaters
6/3/2015 03:38:48 pm
I love the wisdom in the simplicity of your comment Otto. The extraordinary love being expressed by Serge (and his family) is his natural and by example we are being shown that it can be our natural too. In knowing Serge Benhayon my awareness has grown to an all time high of how real love plays out every day. By example I have a real model and inspiration from which to make my own choices. My life has changed irrevocably because I know this beautiful man. I feel deeply blessed that I have a relationship with him and I would not have changed a thing about the last 10 years of my life since knowing him. Each encounter and shared moment encourages me to continue to make those loving choices and to let go of all of the layers that are not me, so that one day, the depths of extraordinary love that it is possible for a human being to express will be my ordinary too.

Extraordinary. Ordinary. I absolutely agree. Never have I felt so deeply inspired as I have in meeting Serge Benhayon. In the 10 years I have known Serge Benhayon the depth of integrity, dedication, responsibility, care and tenderness continue to go deeper and deeper. Never have I met anyone so dedicated to humanity. One day the media will realise that this is one of the greatest stories on earth at this time.

Extraordinary, Ordinary, playful, tenderness in every action, integrity beyond words, delivers truth consistently and lives it 24/7 - when there is a true journalist with a deep integrity there will be a big change in reporting - "......the media will realise that this is one of the greatest stories on earth at this time".

Serge Benhayon and his family have shown me that there is another way to live and be as a family. Their commitment to love and truth is unwavering and this is normal and everyday for them - they have set a new standard in how we can live together in harmony.
Monika Korb
6/3/2015 06:46:57 pm
I love the playfulness in which Serge and his wonderful family is living, working and laughing together. It is contagious. I love Serge Benhayon dearly and it is so beautiful to watch this role model for true family expanding more and more.
Jenny James
7/3/2015 02:52:22 am
Knowing Serge Benhayon and his family for the past 12 years, everything they do is about people, they constantly reflect the quality love and harmony that we can all be – as the family of humanity. So this is what they live, very simply and with unwavering love and dedication.
Zoe Sherrin
7/3/2015 04:43:18 am
And so it should be...love is our natural expression and thus should be the ordinary, it is only because society has strayed so far away from love with its extreme behaviours and individualism that living with love, care, dedication and commitment to serving others as Serge and his family do they it is extraordinary. But as Serge has all presented this is our natural way and we are all extraordinary ordinary.
Kylie Connors
20/3/2015 09:30:05 pm
Absolutely Zoe. I look forward to the day when this level of extra-ordinary love has become ordinary for us all.
Amelia Stephens
27/8/2015 08:57:56 pm
Expressing in the fullness of the love we are is indeed not the norm, and yet is our most natural way to be. We have been tricked so much into what is natural in this world that most of us are so lost - we may as well be 'headless chooks'! Serge shows what it looks like to live with a head, and a body, together as one and in harmony with the all.
Stephanie Stevenson
25/12/2015 01:12:56 am
I am smiling at the 'headless chooks syndrome' Amelia. That is exactly how life felt for me prior to meeting Serge Benhayon at a presentation in London. No true purpose, just running around from one thing to another, basically unaware of even having a body, whilst trying to fill the never ending void within myself. I much prefer the awareness of being whole.
Alison Moir
7/3/2015 04:53:09 am
You are so right Otto, Serge Benhayon is a man that has not wavered once in the 12 years I have known him, his love for everyone has no boundaries, he loves everyone equally, it does not matter who they are and this is something I have begun to take into my life and the joy it brings is immeasurable.
adam warburton
7/3/2015 04:55:55 am
Hi Otto, could not agree more. Serge is a man who makes simple what seems so complicated. Yet what is more astounding as you have expressed is his remarkable consistency to live what he presents - every day, every hour - and that is what I feel people find so inspiring. I have know him for over 8 years, and in all that time, I have never known him to have the emotional ups and downs that we all experience and tend to associate as being normal. I have received emails from him at 11.00pm at night the previous evening, at 2.00am the following morning, and then watched him present at 8.00am the same day without changing gear. The man leads a quietly extraordinary life, without any signs of exhaustion, despite his incredibly high work rate. This is something that deserves to be studied as a science.
Kylie Connors
9/3/2015 09:04:04 pm
Absolutely Adam, there is so much we can all learn from the way that Serge lives... A love for people that has no limitation.
Stephanie Stevenson
25/12/2015 01:18:51 am
Serge Benhayon described in a 'nutshell' Adam. A true role model for all with no hype or guru nonsense. Science would bring benefit to all of humanity in studying this way of ordinary-extra-ordinary way of living.
Sharon Gavioli
7/3/2015 05:11:25 am
Serge Benhayon has blown me away with the level of support and love he has offered my family and me in the midst of his everyday life. No matter what I have asked, he has always been willing to offer support. Without this support, I would not have been able to deal with the death of 3 close members of my family in a nine-month period. Yes, he is an ordinary man but he has been extraordinary with what he has offered me, which I am forever grateful and inspired by!
Heather Pope
26/3/2015 06:10:53 pm
I feel the same Sharon - over 12 years, no matter what mini crisis or drama was in my life, Serge has been there to support, not with any pandering, but with an unwavering truth that wakes me up to the big picture of what is going on, and inevitably assists me to resolve the issue, and expand my awareness all at the same time!
Marianna
7/3/2015 05:30:51 am
I don't care what anyone else says about Serge Benhayon and his family - or of anyone involved with Universal Medicine. I know Serge to be the most honest and truly loving man I have met. His work, life and practice in everyway is the epitome of integrity, truth and love. This is an inspiration for me to live and love with the same consistency and dedication that Serge has shown is possible for everyone to do.
Richard Mills
8/3/2015 04:54:28 am
Beautiful Marianna - I second every word you say.
Liane Mandalis
11/5/2015 02:41:14 pm
I third that. Knowing Serge is such a powerful reminder to live love in such a consistent way that it just becomes the ‘everyday’. Such love is only extra-ordinary because not enough of us are choosing to live it to this degree but when we do, it becomes so exquisitely ordinary, we know no other way.
Stephanie Stevenson
25/12/2015 01:21:56 am
From my own experience of Serge Benhayon over the past 7 years, I wholeheartedly and absolutely agree with you Mariana.
Marika Cominos
7/3/2015 06:13:00 am
I agree Otto...an Extraordinary man that is an inspiring role model for so many. He does not waiver from the commitment to love and harmonious relationships and is forever inspiring. The photos on this website of Serge & his family speak volumes in showing the love and integrity that they live each day...I just look at them and say WOW...WOW...WOW...so touched by the love, the power and deep connection as a family.
Donna Gianniotis
7/3/2015 07:56:17 am
Yes, I agree with what you have shared here Otto. Serge Benhayon and his family offer us a reflection of what true love is. A love that is unwavering and is always consistent. "Extraordinary. Ordinary" indeed, inspiring many that this way of living is possible and can become 'normal' for us all to live if we so choose it. 7/3/2015 12:32:34 pm
Serge Benhayon introduced a way of living that is in harmony with our innermost. It is our intuitive and natural way of living. It allows for great so called abilities and an effervescent way of living, however, it is normal when one lives from this place of being in connection. I stand with Serge, all the Benhayons and every student as this natural way of living is re-introduced into humanity. This is The Way.
Natalie Hawthorne
7/3/2015 12:59:08 pm
Extraordinary ordinary is exactly what Serge and all the Benhayon's live. Like you Otto I have had the pleasure of understanding and experiencing this for over 10 years - the precise way that they live. Constantly dedicated to sharing and being all the Love that they are and no matter what, who or when Serge and the Benhayon's don't waver from truth or love. They have made this ordinary and for me it has been a constant reflection and inspiration that I have not found any where else in my life or in the world.
Ryoko Kimura

Equisitely expressed Otto. I have known Serge for over 12 years and have been touched by his love, humanity and wisdom, He works tirelessly and consistenly gives of himself 24/7 to whoever is in need of support, healing or guidance. A truly extraordinary human being.
Alison Carter
8/3/2015 07:16:11 am
Imagine a world where EVERYONE loved each other equally. That that equal love was the normal. It would be a very different world to the one we now live in. For me Serge Benhayon and his family are a perfect example of this. I thank the day I first met Serge and the love he has shown me and the inspiration that there is another way to live.
Amelia Stephens
8/3/2015 07:26:45 am
So true Otto - it is EVERY second of every day with every person - the love does not waver with Serge or his family. This needs to be understood and really felt as it is certainly not the norm, but indeed is very 'normal' or 'ordinary' as you say.
tricia nicholson
8/3/2015 07:32:01 am
Beautifully shared Otto, I agree totally when meeting Serge some !2 years ago he was the most extraordinary ordinary man I had ever met . The absolute humbleness and presence I felt from him was like nothing I had ever felt before and his consistency and love is inspirational.Serge and his beautiful family are dedicated to all humanity and his genuine love of people shines out as he does for us all. The world is blessed by his presence amongst us showing us the way we all truly know to live with deep responsibility, understanding and consistency as the ordinary.
Emma Danchin
8/3/2015 07:55:46 am
I have known the Benhayon family for 4 years now and felt received by a level of love I had never before experienced. Each and every one of them, every single time. They inspire in me what it is to live with true love, integrity, consistency, power and connection – just look at these photos! They stopped me in my tracks to feel the love emanating from and between them.
Brooke Taylor
8/3/2015 02:49:41 pm
Bang on Otto - "Their consistency and commitment to love, every second of every day with every single person in their lives is so total that it has become their ordinary".
Paul Moses
8/3/2015 04:38:03 pm
Thanks Otto and so true, the commitment that Serge Benhayon and his family has to living life in full is so consistent it is quite extraordinary in our world, and yet becoming close to Serge, there is only a real, natural, warm and ordinary man.
Janet Williams
19/3/2015 03:47:52 pm
Yes, indeed, Paul. The consistency to wake up every morning for 15 years with the same unwavering dedication to showing the world how deeply loving life can be, is exceptional indeed, and yet requires no effort as Serge simply lets his heart lead the way.
Janene Clemence
8/3/2015 04:52:32 pm
Beautifully put Otto, and I entirely agree - for me it has been about 7 years and in that time Serge Benhayon and his family have been so absolutely consistent in the loving and warm way they are with every single person they meet, and the way they live their lives. I have experienced unconditional support from Serge Benhayon and unconditional loving, positive regard from all members of the Benhayon family. Totally extraordinary, ordinary. 8/3/2015 05:04:57 pm
Extroadinary indeed, and yet ordinary, possible, most definitely and you summed it up beautifully Otto.
Deb McBride
8/3/2015 06:42:38 pm
Yes wonderfully true Otto - Serge and his family live an extraordinary relationship with love and truth for all to see and be part of....and to be inspired by, for it is on offer for all of us to make this an ordinary way of being.
Marshall Chang
8/3/2015 07:14:51 pm
My ordinary life has become extraordinary on a daily basis, thanks to Serge Benhayon being a living inspiration. My life has become extraordinary because of the relationships I have with people. This can be just saying hi to a stranger or spending time with my family. It is the joy of every ordinary interaction with another person that makes life extraordinary. Serge Benhayon inspires others through his own consistency and joy of relating to people and his way of living life. The sheer number of lives he has positively influenced not to mention the ripple effects of those he has indirectly inspired is simply extraordinary!
Stephanie Stevenson
25/12/2015 01:25:49 am
I love your comment Marshall Chang and the examples of how 'your ordinary life has become extraordinary'. 8/3/2015 08:19:41 pm
Serge is living what Humanity has struggled with for so long - true relationship. Serge inspires endlessly by his remarkable openness, graciousness, acceptance and love of people - treating all with the same love and respect that he beholds his immediate family in. Serge’s commitment to life and to people is endless - such love, care and Human decency cannot be faked - it touches all deeply and makes anything possible and within reach for us all.
Lily Nikora
9/3/2015 05:18:24 am
Thank you Otto - you have described Serge Benhayon perfectly in the words 'extraordinary, ordinary'
Jennifer Smith
9/3/2015 06:27:05 am
Thank you Otto. Yes the extraordinary is in the ordinary. There is nothing that Serge or his family do that would be any different from anyone else. But the way they do the ordinary is extraordinary and this is done consistently and everyday. The care, attention to detail, commitment to their life and everyone around then, without a drop of exhaustion amongst them. As someone said earlier this needs to be studied (and probably will), for there is something here for everyone. This is extraordinary.
Kathryn Fortuna
9/3/2015 07:45:14 am

Anne McRitchie
12/3/2015 07:59:58 am
Yes Kathryn. There is an old saying that 'a picture tells a thousand words' and this is so true when looking at the photos on this site. The love and absolute glory that shines through every face cannot be photo shopped'!
Naren Duffy
9/3/2015 03:49:13 pm
Perfectly summed up, Otto. The ordinary-ness of the way Serge and his family are with each other and everyone around them is truly and inspiringly extraordinary. What I feel always amazed by is the fact that Serge does not have anything about him that is asking to be treated differently by anyone. The attention and love that he shows to everyone is not a big deal and he does not expect anyone else to make a big deal over him or treat him special. And that is because the love that he has for himself is equal to the love he has for everyone else. In the world we live in, this is a big deal for most of us! But Serge so beautifully demonstrates how normal this truly is and can be for us all.
Alison Pearson
9/3/2015 05:27:48 pm
So true, Otto. Serge and his family make the extra ordinary, ordinary. It is their every day living, consistently. There is an unwavering commitment to love and to humanity.
Gabriele Conrad
9/3/2015 07:03:59 pm
I have also known Serge Benhayon for over ten years now and his consistency and steadiness are amazing and something I had never witnessed before. And he does it all with love, ease and grace, every moment of every day.
David Nicholson
30/3/2015 04:25:51 pm
Gabriele I echo what you have shared. From my experience Serge lives a very practical and real life yet does it in a way that is the polar opposite of the way many of us do. He lives with an absolute love and what amazes me is no matter how many things he is involved with, how many people or projects he supports - it is all done with a grace and simplicity that is unheard of. That is just one of the reasons I feel he is quite extraordinary.
Zoe Sherrin
9/3/2015 11:53:01 pm
I wholeheartedly agree Otto, Serge and his family have inspired me to build a loving life through their unwavering dedication to living lovingly, no put on’s or pretending, just the real deal all of the time.
Tony Steenson
10/3/2015 04:37:03 am
Beautiful testimonial Otto and summed up perfectly. Everyday hurdles that can cause us at times to crumble Serge takes them in his stride. What i also love about Serge Benhayon is his realness, whilst he may live an extraordinary life his feet are planted firmly in the ground and he never puts himself above anyone at anytime.
Ariana Ray
15/11/2015 08:54:13 pm
Serge Benhayon 'may live an extraordinary life his feet are planted firmly in the ground and he never puts himself above anyone at any time' and this is a key to his strength, he lives in the real world and has to deal with family life just as we all do. He is real and can relate to all the issues we are faced with. He knows we are all the same, and everyone is treated with this understanding.
Fiona Cochran
10/3/2015 05:18:42 am
Serge Benhayon and his extended family's commitment to love 'every second of every day with every single person' sounds unfathomable to most in the world we currently live in but this is my experience too. A family committed in every moment to everyone with absolute love. An undeniable inspiration.
Beverley Bulmer
10/3/2015 05:27:52 am
Well said Otto. Serge certainly make the extraordinary ordinary. I have know Serge for 8 years and over this time I have got to know him and his family and observed the level of love they hold for themselves, each other and all others equally so. Now that is the extraordinary that is so very ordinary for them and a true inspiration for us all.
Shami Duffy
10/3/2015 02:27:58 pm
Thank you Otto, I agree with you. What I have come to appreciate more and more each day, is how all the extraordinary that I see in the way that Serge Benhayon and his family lives, is not ever held on to by them as an exclusive part. It is always shared and everyone is always considered as equally important. 10/3/2015 09:51:33 pm
What is really captivating is that the extraordinary way of being that is Serge Benhayon becomes even more captivating when he says that the extraordinary we see and feel is possible for each and every one of us. When we connect to that fact, life as we know it changes forever. A lovely testimonial Otto.
Mary Adler
11/3/2015 02:40:25 pm
Beautifully said Otto. Serge Benhayon has a natural ability to make a seemingly complex problem very simple so that I frequently find myself saying 'Ah, that makes sense' often followed by 'Why didn't I see that for myself?' Serge shares with us that if you stop wrestling with an issue in your head and feel in the stillness of your body you too will find the truth of what simply makes sense. This is a precious extraordinary gift he shares with all.
Michelle M Ryan
12/3/2015 01:23:34 am

'Their consistency and commitment to love, every second of every day with every single person in their lives is so total that it has become their ordinary.' - Great point Otto, I observe the same and it is a real inspiration to life. One that I have not seen anywhere else.
Hannah Morden
12/3/2015 10:10:09 am
An opportunity for the new ordinary indeed. Thank you Otto - this is spot on in terms of what I too have seen in my over 10 years of knowing Serge. Complete consistency and equality.
Stephen Gammack
12/3/2015 02:16:01 pm
Unwavering consistency and an incredible love for people, for humanity, that is what I see from Serge Benhayon. You are right Otto to highlight consistency, I have never seen Serge on an off day or an off moment, although Serge has shared that he has those moments, the way he lives is so full of love and care that his level of "off" would be for most of us a loving moment.
Michelle M Ryan
18/3/2015 04:02:35 pm
Well put Stephen, I too have heard Serge say this and fully agree with what you have said in "the way he lives is so full of love and care that his level of "off" would be for most of us a loving moment."
Stephanie Stevenson
25/12/2015 01:32:10 am
Stephen, this highlights how far away we are from living naturally from our essence. Serge Benhayon is an ever-present inspiration to return to Love fully.
Judith Andras
12/3/2015 03:20:13 pm
I know Serge Benhayon since 12 years and I can fully agree that the love he presented on the first day has not wavered one bit in whatever situation I observed him. To the contrary more has been offered over the years and the marker of what love is and what is unacceptable has gone up for me consistently. To see the Benhayon family grow and celebrate their glory is an constant inspiration to me.
Rebecca Turner
12/3/2015 04:28:15 pm
Very true Otto. The Benhayon family are quite extraordinary. Never do they waver from the consistency and commitment to love. They are showing us the way that we all can live.
Monica Gillooly
13/3/2015 08:05:50 am
That's just it Otto, they never stop in that love and consistency and through meeting them I now can never give up and say it's not possible, I've seen with my own eyes that it is possible to live love in the most ordinary way. I now know love is real.
steve Matson
13/3/2015 02:53:53 pm
My first encounter with Serge was waiting for the first one-day presentation he gave and I was standing in the back of the room waiting for it to begin. There was someone I thought was the handyman setting up chairs in the back of the room. What stood out was the care and detail this handyman was giving to every chair he placed, there was no rush but it appeared to be a very important job. Yes, the handyman turned out to be Serge. For over the 9 years I have known Serge he has always been the handyman that has shown those that are willing to see and feel that what he is, is in every one of us. As you have said Otto, Serge’s consistency and commitment to love with everyone everywhere is his normal way of being… this is truly an amazing handyman.
Richard Mills
26/3/2015 05:20:17 am
This is a perfect reflection of the true humility and equal-ness Serge lives and embodies. I have had a similar experience of him - he is very much just one of us and yet, this level of absolute equal-ness makes him stand out because it isn't currently the norm in our society. For me, this humbleness and equal-ness is such a powerful reflection for us all and we don't lose anything by embracing it. Quite the converse in fact - we become so much more of who we are.
Anna
13/3/2015 04:58:52 pm
Beautifully simple Otto
Annelies van Haastrecht
14/3/2015 01:54:17 am
The first time I saw Serge I knew he lived with love and from that day he and his family has been my inspiration. The consistency and commitment of the love they live is a constant reflection of what we can live if we choose so. You only have to look and feel the amazing photos shared on this website, the smiles are real and open, their eyes are sparkling, and this is not only when pictures are taken, but always. A true inspiration.
Gretel Willis
14/3/2015 06:51:31 pm
Serge and his family have forged a path of love being the normal for us all. The path is for us all to be extraordinarily ordinary, allowing truth and love to become our normal once again.
Simon Williams
15/3/2015 02:54:03 am
A great comment Otto - it has been an extraordinary experience beings friends with Serge. At the one time so human and normal... walking the dog, cooking the lamb, and yet on the other the depth of his love that he has shown me and my family, that can be seen in the way that his family interact, or through his presentations and through his business are just incredible. His commitment and consistency are inspirational and his love and purpose absolute.
jenny hayes
15/3/2015 07:11:14 pm
To make the extra-ordinary ordinary is no mean feat in today's society. Yet Serge Benhayon shows day after day that living in this way can be done. There is no exhaustion, no pretence, just a consistent boundless return to the love and joy that is abundant within us all.
Joshua Campbell
15/3/2015 11:43:02 pm
Your simplicity summaries Serge Benhayon's Extraordinary-Ordinary-ness perfectly!
Rebecca Briant
16/3/2015 06:05:14 am
Perfectly said Otto, Serge and his family make something so profound and extraordinary, a ordinary part of life, and it is this humbleness that they bring that inspires so many to make their lives full of the extraordinary.
Michelle M Ryan
16/3/2015 03:53:33 pm
Agreed Joshua. The simplicity of Otto's description in fact illustrates the simplicity of the way of living of Serge Benhayon and his family.
Vanessa McHardy
16/3/2015 10:49:46 pm
The power of consistency and choosing love is magical in it's lived experience and yet anybody can chose it, begs the question why we wait and waver at all, so incredible to have the inspiration of Serge and his family to what unwavering consistent love looks like!
Francene Cartaar
17/3/2015 04:22:59 am
Just by seeing Serge or attending Universal Medicine presentations you begin to feel and understand what true love is. It then becomes part of your everyday living and somehow flows through to all your relationships. It totally turns around what life is about. Thank you Serge.
Judy Young
6/6/2015 01:43:57 am
Totally agree that's exactly what the presentations by Serge Benhayon do,they turn around what life is about!
Susie Williams

Seconded Otto - I have witnessed Serge Benhayon and his family be love every day for years and years, they have indeed made the extraordinary, ordinary.
Janet Williams
17/3/2015 03:35:03 pm
When I was a child, I knew there was more to life, and I could feel there was something in the air that was magical and pure. I now know that what I was feeling was love, and the Benhayon family live love with every cell of their beings, every moment of every day. This is extraordinary, and yet the most natural thing in the world and available to everyone.
Joan Calder
19/3/2015 04:07:45 am
Ah Janet, thank you for reminding me that the magic of Love is there in every cell of our bodies when we are children, so we do know it within us, and the inspiration of Serge and his family as they live from their consistent love calls us to reconnect with it again, and that it is possible for us all.
Stephanie Stevenson
25/12/2015 01:37:21 am

Yes Michelle, and it is clear that Serge Benhayon is fully dedicated to expressing this love with an an enormous commitment and care for humanity, so that we too get to see and feel that living a life of love and joy consistently so, is not only possible, it is also very normal.
Eva Rygg

Michelle this is very true. Serge Benhayon has dedicated his life to serve humanity - when there is true purpose there is no holding back and this is what Serge is reflecting to us all.

Simple and Inspirational, for me, because of the deep consistency of living with love. We live in a world that often displays deep inconsistency in relationships, often as they are motivated by hurts and needs. I can feel another way when I am in the presence of Serge Benhayon and the Benhayon family they are "Extraordinary. Ordinary". They have made love their way of life.

It is a strong and powerful statement that the love Serge and his family have has not wavered in the 10 years you have known them Otto. I too have experienced this, and have always felt completely loved and held knowing that they are there to support in any way they can. Such an awesome family to have as friends, and inspiration.
Mary Adler

The ever growing number of people that Serge meets and supports in his presentations, workshops, courses, business and everyday life is extraordinary and he meets all with the same consistent love. This is truly extraordinary and an inspiration that to live such an extraordinary ordinary life is possible for us all.

It is true Otto that before I met Serge Benhayon and his family I actually did not believe it was possible to live as consistently loving as Serge does. But over the years he has shown me by example mostly rather than just words that it is indeed very possible, and not only that, it is actually the normal way to live. This has been a game changer for me.

Universal Medicine deserves to be studied, and should be studied, for it provides the missing half of the puzzle that is medicine. In its most simple form, that answer lies in the responsibility of every human being to start looking at how it is that their own choices contribute towards their own health and well being. Yes, western medicine is super important, and never should we shun its use, but equally we need to stop as a society from using it as a crutch to support our own ill lifestyle choices, that contribute as much to our downfall as anything. Universal Medicine combines religion, philosophy and science all in one, with no apology for the fact, and this is as it should be. The three are not at all incompatible. Serge and his family are living testament to the fact that this philosophy works. Their vitality,which is not dimmed in any way by their ability to commit consistently to working extremely hard - for themselves and others equally via both their chosen occupations and many charitable pursuits that they devote their time to - all whilst living an relatively ordinary life is something that needs to be studied. For it presents the possibility that what we have learnt to accept as being normal may have become normal, but it is by no means natural, nor representative of the true love and vitality that we all can live in and come from.

Absolutely Adam, Universal Medicine and Western Medicine is a marriage made in heaven with everyone being responsible for their own choices and health. It is the way to go!

Serge is truly an extraordinary ordinary man. With a full schedule to his work life he still makes time for anyone who wants to see him at the end of his lectures, treating everyone equally, he is brotherhood in action. Every time I hear him speak or read one of his books I come away feeling inspired. His love has no bounds; it is there for everyone. An amazing beautiful man.
Joan Calder
24/3/2015 01:33:20 am
This morning I experienced again the extra-ordinariness of this ordinary man Serge presenting on a webcast. Each time I listen and observe Serge he is the same and yet not the same. He is the same natural Serge, consistent and respectful to everyone, and yet I can also feel that he becomes gentler and deeper in his understanding of himself, more open and tender. His consistency and ongoing work, for he never ceases to work on what needs to be worked on in himself, comes from the living stillness within that allows him to continuously expand his love for all and everyone. He is still and still moving.
Shami Duffy
24/3/2015 03:35:38 pm
In the seven years that I have known Serge Benhayon I have observed that there is a profound sense of purpose to how he lives and is with each person in his life, a purpose which he lives just as equally with himself. And this, I realise, is a great lesson - how to love ourselves just as much as we may love another or even god. Serge is such a tremendous role model for this in his unwavering and steadfast personal support for who he knows himself to be. Perhaps it is by this knowing that he is able to hold so many other people with such depths of love, because having recognised this love in himself, he can feel that is there equally in everyone else as well.
Michelle M Ryan
24/3/2015 04:29:16 pm
When I look at the photos of Serge Benhayon on this site, I smile and realise how amazing it is to have him in our lives. There is such a depth and realness conveyed in the photos. 25/3/2015 06:11:33 am
Thanks Otto that is also what i have witnessed from this extraordinary man and friend Serge Benhayon
Matilda Clark
26/3/2015 12:44:17 am
When we have normalised so much that is not great in life (violence, conflict, substance abuse...) it is beyond inspirational to spend time with a man and his family who have put the truth and simplicity of love firmly back on the map. Extraordinary for now for most, but there to be our ordinary.
Kate Chorley
26/3/2015 04:53:15 am
I agree Otto, the incredible consistency that is offered is so beautiful to behold. Never have I felt so loved and supported by a group of people than I do with Serge Benhayon and his family. Just being around them I feel held in an energy that does not impose but lovingly supports me to me, and that is truly a gift from heaven - I can feel it.
adam warburton
26/3/2015 06:09:38 pm
Consistency of expression is a remarkably rare thing, and the Benhayon family has it in spades.
Helen Simkins
26/3/2015 06:58:34 pm
The unwavering love and truth from Serge Benhayon has been both extraordinary and as I am understanding more and more, perfectly ordinary.
Penny Scheenhouwer
27/3/2015 07:25:30 am
Consistency is the key to Serge Benhayon and all that he presents and lives. His consistency has shown the world that it is possible to live a life of true love for all equally. Through this we can all see that in fact this is our true way to live - the real normal.
Natalie Hawthorne
4/4/2015 05:42:19 am
This real normal is totally possible only from observing how Serge Benhayon has openly shown how consistently living from the Soul is the most normal we can ever be.
Francene Cartaar

This small testimonial says so much really about why so many people are inspired by Serge Benhayon, who is at once humble and magnificent - as are we all if we equally allow ourselves to re-awaken to the fact.
Elizabeth McCann
27/3/2015 11:29:51 pm
Thank you Otto, I wholeheartedly agree with your testimonial. The Benhayon family is a true role mode of what living a loving life, looks and feels like.
Katerina Nikolaidis
28/3/2015 03:17:29 am
I absolutely second that Otto. Not once has the consistency of the love that is highly felt from SergeBenhayon and his family wavered. It is always there in full, equally for everyone. An amazing inspiration for true family.
Oliver Hallock
28/3/2015 09:19:55 am
As you said Otto, the consistency and commitment of Serge is unwavering. Like precedence in law, is, Serge and family in living love.
Ingrid Ward
29/3/2015 03:01:15 am
Like you Otto; “never, ever, once have I seen that love waver”. The love that Serge Benhayon is and lives, is all encompassing, leaves no one out, and definitely does not waver. It is like a big, warm, non-stop hug!
Rebecca Briant
29/3/2015 04:06:16 am
I think for me what is so profound in what you have said Otto, is that not once have you, or myself, every seen Serge's love waiver. Thats huge. In this world of ups and downs and emotional roller coasters, everyone is often all over the place and thats totally normal, and so to find someone who has not just remained consistently loving, but has actually deepened that love in the time I have known him is extraordinary, and yet very ordinary, as you so eloquently put.
Vicky Cooke
30/3/2015 06:14:15 pm
I am so glad there is a website that is dedicated to the appreciation of Serge Benhayon, every testimony and comment is so very true and says it all. He is indeed Extraordinary. Ordinary. Serge Benhayon is one of the most inspiring and wise people I have ever met; I have learnt and continue to learn so much from him. I know true healing now, every person should know this.
Matilda Clark
15/4/2015 01:59:17 pm
Deeply felt appreciation shared - thank you, Vicky, and deep understanding that all that Serge Benhayon is and represents needs to be made accessible to all.
Gail Fuller
30/3/2015 08:01:47 pm
Serge is like a wise saying that you refer to and keep as a marker in your life to remind you of what is needed to keep you on track. The principals in which he lives and has supported with his wife his family to grow and live by are exceptional. Look at his outstanding children, still young yet wise and leaders in their chosen fields. Their loving attention and caring approach to the public and everyone they meet, is a testimony to the way they have been raised. That does not happen by accident. Are they perfect, thankfully not, are they real and true, absolutely.
Beverley Bulmer
31/3/2015 01:39:57 am

What Serge Benhayon offers us is the awesomeness that can be lived by a life committed to the all that looks every ordinary but is truly extraordinary.
Natalie Hawthorne
31/3/2015 05:49:53 am
This is exactly what made me stop and clock Serge, the way he is so extraordinary ordinary. 10 years of Serge not showing anything other than this and it truly is remarkable. Super inspiring and in that whole time I have known and spent time with Serge he has been nothing less. He really is quite something and we all have the same potential, he is not someone special just someone dedicated to being all the love that he is with all.
Matilda Clark
15/4/2015 01:56:57 pm
Not once, ever, have I heard or seen Serge put himself on a pedestal in anyway suggesting that he is living a life that is out of reach for any one of us to choose and commit to at any point. This is more extraordinary ordinary.
Joseph Barker
31/3/2015 06:24:37 am
I love how you say this Otto. What Serge has shown me is that what we think of as normal is not normal at all, and that in fact its natural for us to live, with presence and clarity every moment of our lives. He shows us all that the more you make this choice to accept love as our true purpose, it confirms itself.
Esther Andras
31/3/2015 12:58:31 pm
Yes with Serge the extraordinary becomes ordinary, how extraordinary and what a blessing to have the tides of normal turned to a true normal.
Michelle M Ryan
31/3/2015 02:54:06 pm
Very true Rik, Serge Benhayon holds nobody less, nor greater, we are all held in equalness - there is much for us all to learn from this way of being. 31/3/2015 07:37:03 pm
What you say is so true Otto. I am constantly inspired by the way Serge Benhayon and his family live and love humanity. I am inspired by what he presents comes from his lived experience. I have only ever experienced Serge’s unwavering consistency to being and living who he truly is with love, truth, grace, equality and integrity. Always reflecting that this way of living is not exclusive, that it is a way of living that is possible and accessible to whoever chooses it.
Melinda Knights
1/4/2018 01:34:46 pm
And therein lies the simplicity and power, that it boils down to being a choice, an alignment to soul or not, and completely and equally available to all whenever we so choose.
Amelia Stephens
2/4/2015 03:30:09 am
Indeed Serge is both extraordinary, and so ordinary. As Rachel Mascord points out in her writing on Serge as a philosopher on this site - he does not sit all day contemplating but is a very real and active participant in normal everyday life, and yet brings a quality to it that allows him to reflect in such a way that brings deeper understanding, that he in turn shares with all.
Gill Randall
3/4/2015 03:28:15 am
I love this, Otto, normal for Serge Benhayon is a consistency we all can aspire to, and is so extraordinary; but isn't, it's simple and within all our reaches.
Mary Adler
7/4/2015 12:15:53 am
An inspiring article Otto. When we all learn to take the extraordinary as lived by Serge into our ordinary lives the world will be an extraordinary place to be.
Amelia Stephens
7/4/2015 06:29:31 am
Having read Serge's description as a practitioner today on this site, it is more and more emphasised to me how amazing he really is - but with such simplicity. There is nothing complex about him - he lives from his divine inner knowing and shares that so lovingly with all. Simple as that. The natural progression of modalities and supports that have unfolded from him is somewhat unbelievable, but really not when they are lived and experienced. Extraordinary indeed.
michelle M Ryan
7/4/2015 02:34:03 pm
One only need look at the photos here of Serge Benhayon and his family to see that they really are the real deal and live life in an inspirational way - openly, honestly and playfully.
David Nicholson
8/4/2015 01:39:58 pm
There is no question or doubt in the extraordinary yet everyday ordinary way Serge Benhayon is and lives. The consistency I have seen and felt is something I have never experienced before. No matter what issue or dilemma may be going on with absolute love and support Serge is there. When things are going "well" Serge is there in inspiration of what is possible. I have seen no area of life where Serge is not anything buy absolute love. These are not simply words that are penned without meaning but a small summation of the incredibleness and great humbleness which is an everyday part of the life Serge chooses to live. There is no doubt that I and many others are not fully aware of the real difference one man is having on our entire world - for all humanity.
Ingrid Ward
8/4/2015 05:49:50 pm
You have summed up Serge Benhayon so succinctly Otto – yes he is an extraordinary, ordinary man. Those two words say it all.
adam warburton
10/4/2015 07:31:29 pm
I am sure some people would ask why so many people would commit to expressing their love and gratitude for one man? I am sure many find it uncomfortable, or misinterpret it as some form of guru like fascination with another. The simple fact is that Serge Benhayon is not just celebrated here for who he is, but more so for what he represents as the living truth that resides within us all. For all of us as human beings are capable of expressing true love, of knowing true vitality, capable of living in true harmony with each other, and so when one of us actually lives that in full, as does Serge Benhayon, it is something that should be written about, studied and celebrated to the rafters - thus why so many contribute to this blog, and wish to express their gratitude in this way.
Rowena Stewart
24/11/2015 10:44:00 pm
Completely agree Adam and thank you for your comment because it is true. This is not a case of guru worship, in fact far from it. This is a celebration of one person who has chosen to live an everyday life from their full and complete divine glory and in doing so, choosing to teach and share this way with as many people as are willing to learn. We all have this capacity within us, Serge Benhayon is not special or one of a kind, but he is a unique reflection in this world at the moment hence why so many of us are writing to not only share our appreciation of the immense love and wisdom he brings, but to advertise his presence far and wide so that many more people have the opportunity to connect to the teachings and apply them to their lives too.
Stephanie Stevenson
25/12/2015 01:50:13 am
Well stated Adam and Rowena. The celebration of Serge Benhayon is not about a 'guru worship' but genuine appreciation for an ordinary man's way of living in an extra-ordinary way and this is available for each and everyone of us, equally so, when we re-connect to the Divine Essence within.
Karin Becker
11/4/2015 05:49:52 am
Yes Otto, Serge Benhayon and his family have a lot to teach to the world at large. In one way they are living an ordinary life dealing with everyday activities and chores like everyone else. On the other hand they quality they are living in, is still extraordinary - not only because of who they have become, but mainly because of the choices are they making in every moment of their day. Who has ever met a family before where every member is dedicated to the purpose of helping humanity to heal and to move forward out of the difficulties and miseries people are encountering and facing almost constantly. This family is a group of people who have left a level of existence which is only about ME and my immediate needs, desires and comforts. Everyone of them is an amazing practitioner and presenter in their own rights and could you use this ability to simply focus on making money, accumulating wealth and making a name for themselves in the public arena. Instead they are all totally focussed on what they can contribute and offer to humanity to get out of their health problems and daily living struggles. They are spending almost as many hours a day in unpaid work for the community than in their so-called paid day jobs and that consistently. I consider them as amazing role models for future societies.
Amelia Stephens
11/4/2015 06:10:08 am
The profoundness of what Serge teaches and the deep understanding he has of human life really is something quite amazing. The teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, through Serge offer such an amazing understanding of how we as human beings operate and interact. I know for me this has made massive impacts on the way I work and the way I see psychology play out. There is always more to learn - and Serge constantly acknowledges that fact. I love to learn, so as long as he is here teaching, I will be listening.
Heather Pope
24/4/2015 03:24:39 pm
100% agree Amelia. The teachings of the Ageless Wisdom as presented by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are profound, and yet very practical and real for today's society. This wisdom is something we can shout from the rooftops, for in my experience it is what we are all ultimately looking for.
Matilda Clark
15/4/2015 01:33:19 pm
The extraordinary ordinary that is Serge's life and the inspiration that he offers others encapsulated here. Thank you, Otto.

15/4/2015 08:35:51 pm
Too often we compartmentalise life into little boxes, and the principles we apply to one area, do not always translate to the others. In this way we justify our life as being as just the way it is. We say "business is business", thereby allowing ourselves to relate in the business world in a way that we would never do with our friends. We say "family first", further fuelling the ideal that the way we are with family is not the way we need to be with others.
Otto Bathurst
26/4/2015 09:43:22 pm
Yes Adam. That compartmentalisation is so important to consider. I definitely still do that sometimes and I can feel the tension that it creates in me as i 'oscillate' depending on the situation that I am in. It is an ace thing to be aware of and when you begin to get rid of it and live yourself fully in all situations it is a delicious relief in your body and also a huge inspiration to others. I know that at my work, it blows people away, that I don't align with the roles and patterns associated with someone in my position. It's game-changing and breaking that mould also releases everyone else to do the same. Extremely powerful and great fun.
Jessica Williams
25/5/2015 05:07:09 am
Well said Adam - if you treat all people equally, and live with the same love and integrity in every moment as Serge does, there is no such thing as compartments or facets of life - it is all one and the same, by no means in a mundane or boring way, but quite the opposite!
Jenny McGee
14/6/2015 06:12:25 am
So true Jessica there is such love and integrity in treating people equally. It offers us the choice over and over again to take responsibility to live the love that we are.
Simon Voysey
16/4/2015 08:26:08 am
Over the 8 years I have come to know Serge Benhayon through workshops, talking and email communication I have observed a very solid and clear consistency in everything said and how it comes from Serge's body and I just know it comes from truth, because it resonates within me. I have had this resonance as a sounding board thoughout my life and even when I chose to ignore it, it was still there and never went away. So having had my life's experience there to confirm when I connect to truth or not within me, I can speak with my life's power and authority, that Serge Benhyon's work is based on supporting every single human being to get in touch with themselves in this way and live knowing they are living their truth, from their own connection. This is the ordinary extraordinary we are all capable of and that Serge lives.
Gill Randall
18/4/2015 04:53:47 pm
You have a genius way of expressing the truth and depth of consistency of Serge Benhayon in a few words, Otto, yet the power and truth in them is palpable for all to feel. When I first heard you say, Extraordinary. Ordinary, you captured the feeling I felt exactly.
Jonathan Stewart
21/4/2015 03:37:44 pm
Yes, 'Extraordinary. Ordinary.' expresses the quality of Serge Benhayon eloquently and truthfully. In the 8 years I have now known Serge that consistency of love for all has never diminished and has appeared to have grown but, in fact, it is my ever deepening appreciation of all that he does and is, which makes that love appear to grow. His love is always there, unchanging.
Otto Bathurst
26/4/2015 09:32:57 pm
It's super easy expressing the truth when you feel it so absolutely. My appreciation of Serge Benhayon is so deep, my acceptance of how he and the teachings of the Way of the Livingness has changed my life is so total - that it is very easy to express it. Complication and fancy words hide doubt.
Amelia Stephens
24/4/2015 09:05:06 pm
Making the extraordinary ordinary is what The Way of the Livingness as presented by Serge Benhayon is all about. There is a way in the flow of life that allows us to be innately who we are, which is simply the love and all-knowing divinity that God is. It is simple - yet more than the most magnificent thing we can even fathom.
Michael Nicholson
28/4/2015 02:37:59 pm
Otto, in just a few words you've said it so simply - consistency to love and Extraordinary Ordinary. I feel that I've known Serge forever and he's always there for us all. Inspirational. Thank you.
adam warburton
28/4/2015 05:38:27 pm
What Serge Benhayon has brought is the fact that love is not just a whimsical ideal, but rather an expansive yet tangible, discernible, and very much practical way of being that enshrouds all of life, down to the tiniest detail. It is something that is indeed omni-present, and ever waiting for us to re-connect to its magnificence.
Gabriele Conrad
29/4/2015 01:04:07 am
Serge is showing us that the seemingly extraordinary is very ordinary indeed and there for all of us to redevelop and get back to.
Judy Young

Your words Otto are actually exquisitely expressed, who would have thought in one paragraph you can say everything which needs to be said.
Otto Bathurst

The economy of my expression is because Serge is everything. Thus there is actually very little to say.
Joshua Campbell

Your simplicity is extraordinarily power-full Otto!
Karoline Schleiffelder
30/4/2015 12:58:00 pm
So true Otto…its so extraordinary because most of us do not live with such love that inspires another to be themselves in who they really are with such deep acceptance and this is not our daily experience….yet it is so ordinary because as human beings it is our essence, it is natural, but many of us have forgotten this treasure within us. Serge Benhayon and his family inspire us to feel that treasure within by the way they live and relate with everyone they meet….
Ariana Ray
1/5/2015 05:24:12 pm
The photo's of Serge Benhayon say it all, they reflect the way this man lives each day. His life is about living in a way that shows us all we have the same love inside us as he does. That is why he is remarkable and yet ordinary, he commits himself to a way of life to support all others to be all they can be. Such a life lived is very inspiring and has inspired me for ten years. His consistency over this time has never varied.
adam warburton

We have been fooled into thinking that mankind's constant aspiration to undertake great acts is the key to evolution, but in truth evolution exists only in the simplicity of being. God is more likely to be found in taking out the garbage, than he is by sending man to the moon.
Otto Bathurst

Ingrid Langenbruch
12/5/2015 06:37:04 am
Very funny Adam, it will change the way I take the garbage out now. And so true. I have been all my life such a Doer and totally ignored the quality and simplicity of me Being. Since I put awareness on the quality of energy I am being in and doing things in, and simplifying my life, the quality of my life has changed enormously. With great support of Serge Benhayon, his presentations and all the esoteric practitioners.
Amelia
26/7/2015 05:54:10 am
This is so true Adam! And such an example of how we as humanity (generally) are still searching outside for the answers or the magnificence of the universe. Learning that all the magnificence we see is actually a reflection of what is inside us, waiting to come out, is a huge revelation. It does bring a huge shift in perspective to how we live everyday life. 10/8/2015 06:13:14 am
So true Adam, " evolution exists in the simplicity of being" just being watching the most awesome sunrise and felt the true reflection of who I am just by my beings and nothing else, thank you.

Francene Cartaar
4/5/2015 07:43:10 pm
There is such a loving steadiness in the Benhayons coupled with a sense of fun that is wonderful to observe and feel. Otto, you summed up this amazing family perfectly.
Judy Young
5/5/2015 03:31:58 pm
Serge lives his way but it is also our way if we choose it. His family all live their way but we are all the same one love and this is why what is lived is extraordinary ordinary because it is a livingness we can all choose. The love Serge lives, breathes, walks, talks, feels, sees, touches, tastes, smells and truly knows is there for us all. thank you Serge for the reflection you bring to remind us who we truly are.
Otto Bathurst
9/5/2015 01:08:47 pm
Judy - you're use of the word 'remind' is the key to it all. Because we absolutely know, and where we are going is in fact where we have come from. There is nothing that we don't know, nothing that we need to learn. We have it all already. The gift that Serge Benhayon is to us all is that through his livingness and his leading by example, he is reminding us of who we truly are
Jenny McGee
16/6/2015 05:37:37 am
I find such relief of tension in my body, when I live from that absoluteness of knowing from my heart. Serge Benhayon lives that with such consistency that when I am tempted to go and learn that new thing which I think will improve me, I can be inspired to just relax and reconnect from my own place of truth and stillness.
jenny mcgee
16/6/2015 05:40:46 am
Serge Benhayon lives from that place of absolute knowing with such consistency that it reminds me to let go of seeking that next thing to learn or do which I think will provide me security or protection.
Gill Randall
7/5/2015 04:32:33 pm
You are right, Judy, this extraordinary ordinary way of living is an amazing example of love for us all to be inspired by and choose for ourselves. The pictures on this site show the true story with their power of love.

The depth of Serge Benhayon's commitment to life, truth and people continues to blow me away and shows me the depth of the illusion that we think is normal everyday life. We as humanity have it so wrong with war, violence, hatred etc... we are all tender and fragile beings that seek true connection and love from ourselves and each other.
Liane Mandalis
11/5/2015 02:30:31 pm
Love is so easy to love. Serge Benhayon makes this love visible and tangible in such a way that is so deeply familiar you can't help but admit that you are also made of the same love. Such is the power of true love’s reflection – a mighty wake-up call.
Shannon Everest
30/8/2015 08:55:25 pm
So true Liane and without that wake up call and clear reflection from Serge, I and so many others would not be where we are today.

Your words Consistency and Commitment sum it up for me, Otto. It is so simple really , yet not so easy to consistently live in a loving way, to not 'slack off' and let old patterns and habitats take over. I am so inspired seeing and feeling Serge's and his family's consistent way of living and relating to each other and everybody else over the last 10 years. It is my recipe - consistency in the way I live and total commitment to that - to unfold and express my own beauty and love, God within me.

Otto, your comment '.....so total that it has become their ordinary...' is a quality for us all to aspire to.
Leigh Matson
5/12/2015 08:31:09 am
Not only aspire to but extremely accessible to all as the way the Benhayon family live shows that life can be the Extraordinary in the Ordinary world that is human life. And now not only is it the Benhayons but many within the student body showing us all how this love can be lived in every area of life.

Serge Benhayon is wisdom, love and integrity personified - he IS the real deal and I am privileged to have this man in my life. 13/5/2015 06:01:40 am
Serge Benhayon certainly is an extraordinary man who is well worth listening to . What he presents comes from a deep connection and love of humanity .
Jonathan Stewart
24/5/2015 06:43:43 am
What I also find so extraordinary is not only has my life completely and utterly transformed but the transformation doesn't stop. It continues to deepen as I gain evermore awareness, understanding and appreciation.
Jessica Williams
25/5/2015 05:04:03 am
Beautiful Otto - I can absolutely second that - in all the years that I have known Serge his love for me and humanity in general has not once wavered. He is a man that you can truly trust
Michelle M Ryan

I fully agree Jessica, he is someone who truly inspires by his unwavering consistency and commitment to all.

Serge Benhayon's love and commitment for humanity is unwavering, living the future for us all to see, for us all to see that there is another way.
Jonathan Stewart

"Extraordinary. Ordinary". A superb way of summarising the amazingness and the normalise of this man. It is also a summary of what we can all be if we choose the role model he presents.
Ingrid Langenbruch
3/6/2015 08:33:55 am
Yes, Otto, it is such an inspiration to see and feel how Serge and his family relate with each other and with everybody. Serge and his family live and show what is possible and very real in humans relating to one another. It inspires me - not to copy - but to find that love within and express and live it from there.Observing and feeling the consistency of their love,their way of living and relating over the last 12 years is proof to me that they are real.
Simon Voysey
7/6/2015 06:44:05 am
It is with great appreciation of Serge Benhayon that I can say how I have begun to see life as extraordinary, in the everyday living of it.
Michelle M Ryan

This is a beautiful testament to the power of the consistency of love which Serge Benhayon lives for all.
jenny McGee
30/6/2015 10:59:00 am
So true Simon, what Serge has presented with such consistency is living everyday from the fullness of who he is truly is love.... an extraordinary feat which we can all live.
Shami Duffy
9/6/2015 11:14:49 pm
Serge Benhayon really does make being extraordinary as a person a very normal way to live. I can find this challenging to accept sometimes, as I try to strive for an image of what magnificent looks like in my head. But the truth of it is, that the depths of ordinary that he lives is so profound, mainly because it is the same for everyone, we are genuinely all that.
sandra williamson
14/6/2015 08:28:19 pm
What you share Otto is so powerful and true. The extraordinary ordinary is so real it’s accessible to All. It’s that ordinary if we choose it.
Simon Voysey
15/6/2015 05:50:21 am
What is so striking to me in the ordinary extraordinary way Serge Benhayon lives, is how he has a conversation with a whole crowd of people, just like a personal conversation. There is no angle or formula to present from, just an open heart and total connection and commitment in expressing from love. In this way Serge seems to me to be reflecting to anyone open and receptive, how we can live in relationship with people in our lives in a very real and ordinary way.
Leigh Matson
17/6/2015 02:07:00 am
The ease in which Serge Benhayon lives with I find to be the most inspiring aspect of this man. Life is simply no big deal nor a big drama or a drain which is the norm for most in the world today. And when I stop going into the drama's of life I am reminded of how simple it is to feel the love that is there to support everyone equally. Serge is by no means special as I have had and the feeling is building that how he lives is equally available to me too. While it may not look the same in life it can feel the same - no big need and no need to get into drama's or stresses but to actually enjoy life.
Michelle M Ryan
17/6/2015 02:38:57 pm
The photos of Serge say it all. All the photoshopping in the world could not convey the commitment and vibrancy lived by Serge Benhayon.
Steffi Henn
18/6/2015 03:36:18 pm
I agree with every cell in my body to what everybody was sharing so far. Serge Benhayon, knowing him for 8 years now, sets a new marker in this world, what true consistency in love means. Absolutely extraordinary!!!!
Heather Pope
14/7/2015 05:07:30 pm
Serge Benhayon's consistency is a marvel to observe. Since attending courses with Universal Medicine, I've found my own pathway to developing consistency. Slowly but surely consistency in care, and how I am each day is appearing, and thanks to Serge Benhayon being a great role model, we all have the potential for a supportive consistency.
Helen Simkins
22/6/2015 04:07:43 am
The balance between ordinary and extraordinary that Serge Benhayon lives is all the confirmation that I need to know that this is what keeping it real truly means. Absolute down to earth practicality without letting go of a single aspect of the divine magic of who we truly are. Love in action in every moment!
jennym
4/8/2015 06:42:09 am
Definitely Helen, the practicality and consistency of love that Serge Benhayon and his family lives with others is the confirmation for me that it is the real deal.
Rowena Stewart
22/11/2015 12:09:25 pm
So true Helen, here is a man who is never afraid to bring us back to the cold and stark reality that the way we are living is not working, while continually holding a strong inner connection to the wisdom and playfulness of God. True magic, exposing the tricks we play on ourselves, while showing us the real way to perform true magic in our lives.
Sylvia Brinkman
28/6/2015 12:23:33 am
We are so used to going for the entertainment of life to fill our lack of true love in our life. When I see Serge walking with his wife Miranda I feel such an amazing beautifull feeling of love between them. They don' t even need to touch each other to live that in full. It is felt everywhere. You feel the true Union. The love within both of them becoming so beautiful together. And then I see all the Benhayon's talking with each other. They lean towards each other in a way that is not imposing on each other. It is like the love I feel in them individually is multiplying. Pure joy is there, they are my true role models in life and I feel every year more that my love and joy deepens within me.
Eva Rygg

Hannah Morden
30/6/2015 04:30:43 pm
It is Serge Benhayon's constant commitment that is so precious - and unseen in most of society. Commitment plays such a huge role in our choices - and I observe in Serge his unwavering way of living that chooses love first every time. His commitment is to humanity. It is beautiful to see and be inspired by. It is also a choice any single person can make at any given moment. An amazing reflection.
Michelle M Ryan
9/7/2015 02:31:56 pm
Serge Benhayon has pioneered 7 healing modalities to date which is a true testament to his commitment to people and the true way to live life. This is extraordinary, yet humble and inspiring.
Hannah Morden
10/7/2015 06:09:57 pm
I have observed many people in my life to be up and down. Emotions can easily run how we are with others and I can say I have behaved in this way too. But where is the trust in this inconsistency if we never know what mood someone will be in? Serge Benhayon has paved another way - a way where emotions don't dictate how we are, but rather the way we have been living is what defines us. Our choices. Serge has shown that the quality he lives is from is (this) consistent connection to himself and in that, his consistent relationships with others. So beautifully simple! It is a joy to be in his presence and in that, I find a deeper consistency in myself. An absolute reflection that I can be that too.
Shami Duffy
16/7/2015 02:19:57 pm
The more I get to know Serge Benhayon and to understand what he presents, the more he becomes just an ordinary person, which is lovely because then I get to become more aware of what an ordinary person I am and that means that I do not have to be or try to be anything other than myself.
Cathy Hackett
17/7/2015 04:36:00 pm
Serge Benhayon and his family all bring a quality of profound extraordinariness to everything they do yet it is presented so consistently and unwaveringly, effortlessly and lovingly, that it has become their profound ordinary. And that's because it is actually what all ordinariness could be like. Their unwavering commitment to living this way provides true inspiration for the rest of us.
Gail Fuller
21/7/2015 04:50:24 am
It's the consistency of being that I always come back to as a support in my life that I receive from Serge Benhayon. It builds a trust that I know is always there. As life can change daily knowing that a man and friend is solid allows me to breathe easier.
Amelia
22/7/2015 07:13:56 am
This commitment to unwavering love that I have experienced through observing and interacting with Serge Benhayon, as well as his family and many others in the Unimed student body, has been a constant source of inspiration for me. I now know this is the only true way to live my life - and that is with love for myself and all equally at the fore with constant dedication to expressing truth. This is the way we all can live, if we so choose it.
Samantha Davidson
23/7/2015 03:53:21 pm
It is consistency that I have observed, this is indeed "Extraordinary." and yet "Ordinary" The constancy with which love is expressed makes it 'normal' or 'ordinary' and why shouldn't it be so? In society and from our own experience we know there is a lot in life that does not reflect love, but why not turn that around and a live from a place of love. I am learning to express this for myself and it feels like coming home.
Jennifer McGee
24/7/2015 05:42:59 am
What Serge Benhayon and his family have shown me is the nature and reflection of true family, where they support everyone equally by holding them equal in reflecting true love.
Amelia

It is indeed extraordinary that Universal Medicine has been a business that has required no advertising. There are no imposing billboards with 'Universal Medicine --> This Way' written on them. And this is for very good reason. Those who walk, talk and live the Ageless Wisdom through the Way of the Livingness are their own billboards. The words don't even need to be mentioned as the lived quality (our divine innate Love), in truth, is a healing of itself.
adam warburton

Beautiful blog dear Otto. I will forever be grateful to Serge Benhayon and his family for re-opening my eyes to the fact that love can be lived with such simplicity in a world that is steeped in complexity and struggle.
Amelia
3/8/2015 06:30:17 am
Living with One Unified Truth as the basis for all we do, really is remarkable. Serge is a shining example of this, leading the way in what is possible when we don't run our lives purely from our own individual needs and hurts. There is a completely natural way for us to be that means we all live as One. This for me means living with the innate knowing, understanding and commitment that we are innately deeply loving, and all others are around us too. There can be no identification in self when we feel how equal we all are.
Annie Tran
9/8/2015 04:37:06 am
Very true Otto. "Extraordinary. Ordinary." is a perfect description of Serge Benhayon. His care and commitment to ALL people equally is so incredible and deeply inspiring.
Ingrid Ward
11/8/2015 04:51:33 am
To describe the amazing person that Serge Benhayon is could easily take a great many words, but I love that you have used so few to do so and in the process have fully encompassed the truth of this man. Thank you Otto for encapsulating all that Serge is; committed, consistent, inspiring and ordinary.
Ariana Ray
1/11/2015 12:49:29 am
'Serge is; committed, consistent, inspiring and ordinary' and very extraordinary. He has such love and dedication to all that he can't but present the truth. That is what I love most of all about this man.He hold nothing back in presenting truth, He's like gold, but more precious, like a fountain of water in the desert.
Shami Duffy
11/8/2015 05:53:23 am
The more I listen to what Serge presents, and really let myself understand it, the more normal and genuine he as person becomes.

Vicky Cooke

Yes it is truly remarkable and shows everyone that it is not only possible to live this way but how much lovelier it is to live this way. The Benhayon family continually inspire me to be all that I am.
Amelia
13/8/2015 09:18:19 pm
The consistency Serge and his family have are unwavering, and very inspirational. It shows true dedication, commitment and absolute love for humanity to keep this level of consistency. It certainly does not happen by chance, and is all about choice.
Donna Gianniotis
16/8/2015 10:19:25 am
When I first met Serge Benhayon I was blown away by the love and equality that Serge offered to everyone. I could kind of get my head around one man being like this, but then, I was even more blown away when I clocked that it wasn't just Serge that was like this but his whole family. I soon came to realise that when someone is living with purpose and true love it naturally inspires another, so it made sense that the whole family has unwavering love and commitment to humanity and this too has inspired many many others.

We all live in a time where super heroes with magical powers can be idealised on the big screen in to being the ones who can do the unimaginable, sustaining a belief that we are merely human and cannot live the extraordinary ~ unless it falls within the certain boundaries of acceptable brilliance, such as monetary wealth, good looks, feats of physical endurance, and fame etc. What if the real potential for us as people is to be super-loving beings? What if our super power was to be united?
Amelia Stephens

Every person, every second and every day - this is the commitment we all can make too in communicating nothing but love with our fellow brothers. It is ultimate responsibility, and so needed in this world of ours.
Heather Pope
28/10/2015 08:22:17 am
It seems such a huge insurmountable ask to say love all equally at all times, and yet Serge Benhayon is a living example that this is indeed possible.
Jonathan Stewart
8/9/2015 08:41:01 pm
"Their consistency and commitment to love, every second of every day with every single person in their lives is so total that it has become their ordinary". The Benhayons are the living example and role models that through consistency of the dedication to Love the the extraordinary can become the ordinary for us all.
Amelia Stephens
12/9/2015 01:54:59 pm
What I am appreciating today is the absolute extraordinariness of how Serge has handled the past 3 years of attack and abuse. Most would be crumbling, on antidepressants and needing intensive psychological therapy if the level and intensity of abuse that is channeled at him had been channeled at them. He has succumbed to none of these things, but instead grown stronger within himself and the support he provides all others around him. This is a testament to the responsibility and dedication to love he lives each day.
Heather Pope
28/10/2015 08:20:50 am
Only last week I was observing how hurt and affected I was by the bullying of another. It was then I stopped to consider what abuse, bullying and lies have been thrown at Serge Benhayon in the last 3 years, and how despite that he is still himself, and has not let his consistency drop an iota. 14/9/2015 02:33:42 pm
The 'ordinary' that we have been accepting as 'ordinary' for so long is actually way off the mark of what normal life really should be. It has become 'ordinary' for lives to be stressful and less than they could be. We tolerate abuse in various forms - many people not recognizing that they are abusing and being abused because it's not physical. Lovelessnes is rampant, very few people truly feel loved, even when the right 'moves' are being made by others. Lack of self-worth plagues practically everyone, even those whose apparent confidence is a cover for feelings of insecurity and not being good enough. Fear is a constant undercurrent in modern life. All these things and more we have come to accept as ordinary, and when something rare and wonderful shines out above them, we call it extraordinary. Well yes, in that sense you could say that Serge Benhayon is extraordinary, as also his whole family and the way they live, and also the many students who have looked and listened and chosen a new, loving way of living for themselves. The extraordinary becoming once again the ordinary that can be the ordinary for all ordinary people.
Vicky Cooke
15/9/2015 10:55:25 pm
This is great what you have expressed here Dianne, in the truth of how humanity is living at the moment. Only this morning after feeling how I am not living all that I am I had a moment of really appreciating Serge Benhayon. In the time I have known him, nearly 10 years, not once has he been less than he is or said I cannot be bothered, not once has he given up on himself, life or others but instead consistently made really loving choices to live in line with the love and truth he knows. For that reflection alone I am deeply appreciative of him and what he shows all is possible.
Otto Bathurst
24/9/2015 05:10:35 am
As you so rightly say Dianne the way that Serge lives his life appears so extraordinary. But the gap between what he lives and what the rest of the world is living says less about him and much, much, much more about what we have accepted as ordinary. A close, brave, honest look at what our current society, reveals extraordinary horrors, abuse, illness and lovelessness that we should never, ever be accepting as ordinary. That is the extraordinary in all of this.
otto bathurst
7/10/2015 09:33:11 am
This is exactly it. How absurd is that it is ordinary to put 48 teaspoons of white poison in to our body every day. How absurd is it that it is ordinary that we all so exhausted that we need to take drugs every single morning to get our day started. How absurd is it that it is ordinary that disease and illness is growing exponentially. Serge isn't extraordinary. What is extraordinary is that the life he lives is considered extraordinary.
Lee Green
29/10/2015 11:45:17 am
Precisely Otto so far on the merry-go-round of 'normal life' we have travelled we have left behind the simplicity and ordinary way of being. In order to keep pace with the merry-go-round we created we poison ourselves with distraction, foods etc. The list is endless.
Joseph Barker
18/9/2015 12:35:38 pm
Yes Otto, Serge Benhayon consistently shows me all the little boxes I am living in, limited ideas and beliefs I have put on about how I actually am. We are all truly extraordinary and in living this Serge way shows without saying a single thing that each and every one of us actually have that potential too.
Benkt van Haastrecht
22/9/2015 12:18:13 pm
Its that what makes the family and Serge Benhayon so inspiring. Living extraordinary ordinary lives, with large amount of commitment to self, love and everyone around them. Very inspiring.
Heather Pope
28/10/2015 08:17:55 am
I have observed Serge Benhayon living his ordinary life many times, taking out the garbage after a presentation, helping someone carry a box, or simply eating a meal with his family. In each of these ordinary situations though, there is also the extraordinary reflection on a man that knows his worth is not from what he does, but who he is.
Lee Green
29/10/2015 11:47:08 am
This is powerful Heather, and it is that which on first meeting Serge we are forced to question - if everything I do does not give me that same loving quality it cannot be true.
Rachel Andras
22/9/2015 08:58:00 pm
Extraordinary ordinary in absolute simplicity, well said Otto! I always wanted to be extraordinary to stand out, to be different to not be ordinary. A very exhausting lifestyle as it requires to call in constantly what we are not instead of living the absolute extraordinary ordinary love we are. Through Serge Benhayon I learned to surrender to simplicity and love the ordinary as the most heavenly expression ever. Love just is, there is nothing to do or become. 24/11/2015 10:53:26 am
I love that about Serge, too, that he does ordinary things and does not put himself up on a 'high and mighty' box. He lives the equality he talks about, and I always have the most respect for those who truly do walk their talk. I have known of teachers and presenters (of various ilks) who consider themselves 'above getting their hands dirty' doing menial ordinary tasks. What a great illusion and arrogance they live in! But not Serge, thank Heavens for a real human role model!

Serge and his family have absolutely made the extraordinary ordinary from living consistently the love they are unwaveringly. The inspiration that comes from knowing them is remarkable and has had an incredible affect on countless people who now realise they can live this love too and as such have committed to changing their lives accordingly with miraculous results.

It is the unwavering humbleness of Serge Benhayon that really blows me away.
Heather Pope
28/10/2015 08:14:33 am
The humbleness of Serge Benhayon is just one of his qualities that endears him to so many. At the same time he does not (and nor should he) hold back from embracing the fact that he is an absolute inspiration for so many people (as is attested to in this blog). 3/10/2015 11:28:47 am
Yes Otto, the extraordinary, ordinary made simple. So true.
Steve Matson
3/10/2015 10:35:55 pm
Serge Benhayon and his whole extended family is a living example of how simple just being love with everyone and yourself can manifest into something as you have coined Otto; Extraordinary. Ordinary.
Otto Bathurst
7/10/2015 09:35:23 am
And then the extraordinary will actually be the ordinary
Simon Asquith
12/10/2015 11:54:16 am
What is possible. So simple. SO powerful and obviously so needed in our world. What has become the 'normal' and 'accepted' way in which we live our live together as families, businesses, community's, governments - has become so haggard, aggressive and disconnected. We are in constant tension with each other and the world is full of battles on a daily basis - from wars to supermarket car parks, from schools to parliament. All we are doing is butting our heads together. This has become the standard that we have all accepted. And yet if we observe Serge Benhayon and the Benhayon Family - as you say Otto - we observe the Extraordinary Ordinary. Where the tension and aggression and drive for making sure that you and yours are ok - have been replaced with a commitment to care, understanding, support, honesty, inclusion of all and Love. Truly offering a way forward for a new normal that if we stop and consider it - should and could so simply be the way we live together on this planet.
otto bathurst
23/10/2015 10:20:45 pm
Does that "butting of heads with each other" actually stem from a butting of heads with ourselves first? Are we fighting ourselves first? Are we rejecting our own love, our own self-care and love? Is that where this all starts? Certainly I can feel that ever 'conflict' that I have ever gotten in to (no matter how big or small) has stemmed from a 'conflict' with myself, first.

Heather Pope
28/10/2015 08:11:02 am
In the years since first attending an Esoteric Healing session with Serge Benhayon I have paused many times to reflect on just how much struggle each day was prior to receiving Esoteric Healing. Life before and life after are drastically different, and as you say Jody - thank God!
Otto Bathurst
3/11/2015 04:30:26 am
You know Heather Pope, I have been pondering exactly this same thing recently. Just looking back at simple functional events in life; like taking a flight, travelling to London, having friends for lunch, tidying the house, whatever...and I am noticing how seamlessly these things happen, the lack of drama, the space in the day...It sounds small, but it's really important to appreciate because in the past any of these things could have been much more of a big deal, taken more planning, sucked more energy, etc...But now, these things just roll past and it's a simple case of "what's next?"
Suzanne
21/10/2015 07:13:36 pm
The Benhayon family make love normal and so extraordinarily ordinary and are an inspiration for many including me as to what is possible to live right now in this moment with all our family.
Lee Green
29/10/2015 11:49:40 am
Accepting that we all have that Extraordinary. Ordinary available to us in any moment is the bitterest pill to swallow. For Serge Benhayon and his family are literally reflections back to us of what we truly are. Our choice to be or not.
Stephanie Stevenson
25/1/2016 10:05:41 pm
Delivered with clarity and simplicity Lee - Our choice to be or not to be living equally from Love in the way reflected by Serge Benhayon and his family 24/7.
Natalie Hawthorne
30/10/2015 02:47:08 pm
Serge's extraordinary ordinary way of living that he so openly shares has been the very reason I have been attending Serge's presentations, workshops and course for over 11 years. With a complete grace and love Serge communicates in this has been how I have restored my trust in humanity. That it is possible to live a life completely dedicated to being who you are and sharing that with all no matter where they come from, the colour skin that they have or the language that they speak. Inspired by a man gave true meaning to equality.
Otto Bathurst
3/11/2015 04:35:59 am
Absolutely Natalie Hawthorne. Even after 11 years, I am still being blow away by the simplicity, transparency, equality and ordinary that Serge Benhayon lives. There has been no greater inspiration in my life. He has shown me everything that I now see in myself. I am eternally indebted to him and love him with every cell in my body - which is beautiful to say and feel.
Vicky Cooke

Not only this Serge Benhayon continuously presents true evolution. In fact what he presents is just stunning and something that should be shared with all. Everyone should have access to the Wisdom and a Love Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine represent and presents. It's a game changer. It's a life changer 💕

I have never seen such commitment and consistency in wanting to serve humanity in all my life AND one that come with such a level of self-care. It is extraordinary. Yet Serge makes it look so ordinary - so that anyone of us can do it. It is only our choices that prevent us. Not some super-human feat that Serge has that we dont - we are all equal. 13/11/2015 09:26:46 pm
Well said, Sarah, I agree, Serge Benhayon shows us a way of living that is available to all of us and it is our choices that will take us there.

'I have watched this for the 10 years that I have known Serge and got to know the rest of his family and never, ever, once have I seen that love waver. Extraordinary. Ordinary.'

We have an opportunity here to see that there is another way, out of the struggle, the suffering, and the hardship. That love can be lived, by a process and with dedication and commitment, love can be a part of the everyday. And then, this everyday becomes something shared, because love cannot be contained or kept for the few. That is why when love is lived it is very ordinary and everyday, because then everyone is included.
Stephanie Stevenson
12/2/2016 11:09:54 pm
So true Shami - Love cannot be contained or kept for one person only, it is to be lived and shared equally with all. Serge Benhayon lives and reflects this in every moment of his day, every day, in a humble and ordinary way which appears extraordinary as it is not yet the new normal for the majority of humanity.

Amazing how one passionate paragraph can encapsulate so much. Thank you Otto Bathhurst, I heartily endorse all that you have said, and not said, but said all the same.
Leigh Matson
25/11/2015 11:18:08 pm
This is one of those testimonials that just goes to show that love is love regardless if it is expressed as a huge, 800 page book or a simple paragraph of appreciation. One is not greater than the other, Thank you Otto.
Shami
22/12/2015 08:44:37 pm
Something I am discovering about having Serge Benhayon in my life, is that it is myself who is learning to regard him as an equal, an equality that has been there from the start and Serge has never wavered from it. However, because of all of what I had taken on as true and real which were not actually true and real, I have placed barriers up against my own equality with this great great man. A greatness that in equal measure means that I am a great great woman. This is much easier to write than it is to live and to accept, but with the forever inspiring influence of Serge and his entire family, day by day this understanding of who I am returning to becomes itself more real.
Otto Bathurst
27/12/2015 09:34:04 pm
Shami, I deeply appreciate the humility and wisdom of your comment. It is astonishing what we have chosen to put in the way of that equality. An equality that Serge has shone on me since the first day that I met him. Yet it has taken me years (and is still taking time) for me to fully accept, and every single thing that prevents me from accepting that is my creation, my choice. Thankfully the brightness with which Serge and his family shine that equality is so powerful that I am finally beginning to see it!

I have thoroughly enjoyed re-visiting this today testimonial and all its many comments, all celebrating Serge Benhayon and the way he lives his life 24/7. So much so, that I have been inspired to answer many comments today of the truth that is expressed here. Thank you Otto and every single person who has commented here.
Otto Bathurst
27/12/2015 09:44:15 pm
It is amazing to read these comments and all the other testimonials and comments. There is no other man like Serge Benhayon who lives with such an absolute and total 24/7 dedication to humanity. There is not one single crook or cranny or moment in his life where that is not his everything. A student body of thousands has watched him for fifteen years and not one single one of us has ever, ever found him to be even 1% less than utterly committed to love, purpose, service. That is so far beyond amazing, so magnificent to truly ponder....yet, as so many who know him and have met him have commented, it never feels anything other than absolutely normal. Why? Because it is normal. It is who we ALL are. it is everything else that is actually ab-normal.
Stephanie Stevenson
30/12/2015 01:23:20 pm
I love this blog and your comment here Otto and am in whole-hearted agreement with you. What is so beautiful about Serge Benhayon is an infinite flow of harmony and inspiration- including his humility, sense of humour, clarity, equal love for all and that everything he reflects in his life, IS available to us all if we are prepared to make different choices in our life. Yes, it is plain, simple and normal - "It is who we ALL are. it is everything else that is actually ab-normal".
Shami
12/1/2016 09:49:54 pm
Something amazing about Serge Benhayon, is all the people who have changed their lives after meeting him. Not like he is some kind of saviour who is beyond anyone. It's just because every time someone meets him and is ready to see the truth of what he presents, what is seen is already known and so it is a (relatively) simple step in to making that a lived way. That is, Serge offers us an opportunity to see that what we are already feeling can be taken in to the real world.
Shami
15/1/2016 01:25:36 am
When we walk along side someone like Serge Benhayon, it raises questions inside, like - how much am I willing to accept what I can see in this man is actually genuine and real? Or - if I can see that this man is normal and just like me, what does that mean about how I have been living and the relationships I have been having with everyone in my life?
Stephanie Stevenson
25/1/2016 10:01:25 pm
Well expressed Shami - I like the the questions you raise and know this from my own experience with Serge Benhayon over the past 7 years. 26/3/2016 06:59:58 am
Indeed, he does ' inspire a greater exploration of who you are and what you are capable of.' and it is always our choice to explore or not and that choice is never judged.
Leigh Matson
22/1/2016 11:07:10 am
The love that Serge Benhayon and his family live is so extraordinary by the worlds standards and yet they make it look very normal and ordinary. To have a reflection that such divinity can be felt and experienced in everyday human life has changed my life in ways I previous could not even fathom and it still does to this day.
Stephanie Stevenson
25/1/2016 09:56:38 pm
I agree with you fully Leigh - I now know the way Serge and his family live is the true, plain and ordinary normal way - it is very clear to me now that the the accepted normal way of living in society (that I have been part of) is the total antithesis to our natural way of living from Love and is far removed from brotherhood and equal-ness for all.
Simon Voysey
25/2/2016 12:18:09 pm
Yes Leigh, How Serge Benhayon and his family and a growing number of students of Universal Medicine live does make divinity very receivable and acceptable and living it in my own ordinary way, it is amazing how people I meet in everyday life feel it, open up and respond.
Sandra Dallimore
11/2/2016 09:23:31 am
What I love about the ordinaryness of Serge is that there is not one ounce of arrogance or anything that says that he is better than anyone else. His extraordinaryness is in the way he is unwavering, solid as rock (a big one) when it comes to truth and love - something I have not experienced until I met Serge and started to attend his presentations and workshops. The way he lives is extraordinary - his consistency, integrity and commitment to life and to humanity...his ordinaryness in his humble and real way of living.
Otto Bathurst
9/4/2016 06:52:36 pm
So true Sandra. Arrogance can not exist when absolute quality is known, lived and embodied - which is exactly what Serge is and does. This is then the greatest inspiration for us all - for everything that he lives we then have the choice to live ourselves. The polar opposite of arrogance which is a horrible expression of separation. 28/2/2016 11:05:31 pm
It is the steady consistency and the absolute love of humanity in Serge Benhayon that I find so inspiring, and the way he makes it normal, that we can all live the same way, it's a choice we can each make.

Very Very true Otto Bathurst, never ever I seen that lived love waver.. Very special and real. A love that never goes, only grows! I have met Serge Benhayon 5 years ago.. and I must say, since then my life has improved enormous, I have found my way to life love all of the time - now it is just a matter of act. And this inspiration has come from the whole family - every single family member had touched and inspired my heart to grow in the love it already is. So thumbs up Otto!
Danna Elmalah
5/5/2016 01:01:57 pm
Even though this blog is very short - it compiles everything that Serge Benhayon has brought to many thousands of people their lives. Gorgeous is that love and truth is so simply that it not even needs that much words at times.. Just to simply present the All.
Jade Jamieson
6/5/2016 03:53:54 pm
Such a simply and beautifully expressed truth Otto, what Serge and the Benhayon family life is the extraordinary ordinary and inspire so many to choose to live this same quality simply through connecting back to the love we hold within.
Aimee Edmonds
7/5/2016 08:41:22 pm
The Benhayon family reflect trust to the world, constantly showing what is our true ordinary which is extraordinarily simple observing them.
Danna Elmalah
10/5/2016 01:22:37 pm
I never have seen it waver too, that is quiet incredible. The love I feel when I see, walk or talk with Serge is indescribable - as the first feeling I get is the absolute welcome of love! Which makes my heart smile every single time again. This to me is the prove that love is lived within this man every single day.
otto Bathurst
22/10/2016 11:09:23 pm
Absolutely. An absolute testimony to Serge Benhayon. But also an absolute testimony to 'love'. Is it possible that very few of us have actually fully grasped what 'love' is - in it's complete fullness. What I mean is that we say how extraordinary ordinary Serge Benhayon is - and he is! But actually all he is is Love. If I ponder that, I can begin to see how that word that has been so gigantically and erroneously diluted.
Danna Elmalah
10/5/2016 01:33:08 pm
Yes to me this shows how very powerful love is when it is lived on earth by us as human beings - and so this family is our first big family to show mankind that it is possible to life it all the way - and with each other too.
Fumiyo Egashira
10/5/2016 04:41:07 pm
Absolutely. Serge Benhayon and his family certainly make extraordinary look ordinary, but the Way in truth is the ordinary that most of humanity had not claimed and lived for so long and when it is resurrected in real life it appears extraordinary, but it will once again become the very ordinary for all of us, one day.
Kevin McHardy
10/5/2016 08:22:57 pm
Quite often a lot of words are not needed to nail something, if the right expression is at hand, and here Otto you have done a mighty fine job of putting a whole lot into such few words. Great expression summing up a beautiful man and a beautiful family.
Otto Bathurst
22/10/2016 11:10:50 pm
Easy to be succinct when expressing something so absolute.
Danna Elmalah
12/5/2016 02:23:15 pm
Very true Otto, sharing from my own experience, I can say that Serge Benhayon has brought teachings to life - that I never heard of before - yet they feel very familiar. There is no imposition whatshowever but always offered love and support , unconditional of once choice - the offering of support grows - now that is rare!
Ingrid Ward
13/5/2016 10:09:52 pm
Each time I go to describe Serge Benhayon a great big long list of superlatives begins to roll through my mind, but to describe him so simply as an extraordinary, ordinary man, Otto, sums him up so perfectly, no other words are needed. Eleven years after the day that this man came into my life I am still celebrating the fact that he did.
Otto Bathurst
22/10/2016 11:12:46 pm
Don't forget to also celebrate that you allowed him to come in to your life. Because that is the truth, you chose him, you asked for that love, because you knew it to be true.
Jonathan Stewart
14/5/2016 12:10:55 am
Through knowing Serge Benhayon, his family and experiencing being held by them in love no matter how am or what I do I have come know what love truly is. This is love that does not hold back expressing the truth however painful it may be to hear, as truth is love.
Helen Giles
14/5/2016 01:07:59 pm
Yes, agreed Otto - this way of living that is ordinary, everyday life for the Benhayon family is the extraordinary inspiration we all receive. There is so much that many people around the world are appreciating about Serge and his family, yet none of this is done by them with an ounce of self promotion. The world is blessed to have such a reflection.
Danna Elmalah
17/5/2016 12:52:42 pm
Yes - Otto, as love can not fail , what I come to notice is that the love Serge and his family is living - is not erasable , only deeply felt and further continued to life from... To me this is palpable from only seeing this family walk , together or alone, the love and power is within their everyday.
Fiona Lotherington
18/5/2016 02:03:16 pm
The Benhayon's do make it look very ordinary, which it is. It's just that the rest of us have to start living that simplicity too to make it the norm! What you have said about the consistency is something I have never seen in anyone else and is very inspiring, to know it can be done and with such apparent ease. I like a lot of people like to have off time when we cruise. This just isn't the case with the Benhayons and just shows me the love and possibilities when you stay connected and with purpose.
Shami
19/5/2016 09:21:46 pm
We can look at Serge Benhayon and want to see that he is equal to ourselves, that we are capable of so much love. But the truth is, that we already are that and there is no need to look to anyone to have this confirmed. It will be confirmed by you as you live, love and nurture that divine spark that rests within your inner-heart. This is at the heart of what Serge Benhayon has presented to us for many many years.
Otto Bathurst
22/10/2016 11:15:45 pm
Divinely expressed Shami. Serge Benhayon has, from the very first day I met him, always expressed that equality.
Lucy Duffy
26/5/2016 12:19:54 pm
To make the extraordinary ordinary require absolute dedication to the bone. A simple way of life we have chosen to make so complicated. Serge and his extended family (including the divine Otto Bathurst) show us that to live extraordinary as our ordinary is in fact a very simple and ordinary way. Their reflection and inspiration is magnificent - once felt, impossible to take your eyes off.
Danna Elmalah
27/5/2016 12:52:54 pm
And How truly amazing that this simple and very short blog captures all the love experienced by Serge Benhayon and his extended family. This shows us - love is simple and it can be expressed for over a long period of time. Thank you Otto. I love the words you use.
Simon Williams
30/5/2016 12:57:20 pm
Like a rock, that love has been there for me every time I have called on it from the first time I met Serge. Unwavering, consistent, trusted to the hilt. Its an amazing example of what is possible, and an amazing inspiration.
Heather Pope
1/1/2017 10:42:07 am
The love Serge Benhayon is, is on offer for everyone from the moment he meets them. The consistency of this is beyond challenge. The benefits of this are beyond measure.
Lucy Duffy
1/6/2016 12:31:44 pm
Extraordinary. Ordinary. I Love Serge Benhayon.
Jonathan Stewart
1/6/2016 08:28:58 pm
So true Otto. The consistency of Serge and his family is remarkable only because it is not the common way to be as that is how we all can be. The inspiration that Serge is, is that he is showing the whole world we can all be like him.
Danna Elmalah
3/6/2016 12:22:28 pm
This shows us that when love is lived, there is no waver, and that love is solid and true. Therefore the commitment to life this love is absolute by Serge Benhayon.. An absolute inspiration for every single human being.
Ariana Ray
8/6/2016 09:14:36 pm
'Extraordinary. Ordinary.' Serge Benhayon is living the extraordinary by his moment by moment choices. That he makes the extraordinary ordinary is no casual thing but a result of this way of life with each single choice he makes. If we get envious or frustrated that he chooses as he does, it is ridiculous, for we can choose exactly the same as he does. That is what is so extraordinary ordinary.
Jonathan Stewart
10/6/2016 08:28:25 pm
As the saying goes, 'Practice makes perfect' and making the extraordinary ordinary is no different. Through his example and that of his family Serge Benhayon demonstrate that through dedication and consistency to a truly loving way of life for oneself and others, an extraordinary life becomes the norm achievable by all.
Rebecca Briant
11/6/2016 01:10:29 pm
A family that truly fits the word extraordinary - a living type of ordinary that is in this time not the normal, and yet is the true normal.
Danna Elmalah
15/6/2016 12:19:50 pm
So true. Serge Benhayon is the example of consistency. Knowing him for over 5 years , every time I have seen him - his love and consistent integer approach was there. No moment of wavering off other then absolute presence and a welcome that is always true and loving. Never have I seen this before, yet I wished I would see that everywhere. If this was the case our world would not be so lost as it is today - and therefore we need this one man, as an inspiration for our whole humanity - to life a life that is based on true love that starts with oneself.
Danna Elmalah
29/6/2016 03:34:02 pm
He is, Serge Benhayon, a very ordinary man - jet at the same time so normal that is sometime blows my mind away of how much simplicity there is in that man - and how simple we can actually life in connection. Speaking with him showed me that there is heaven on earth possible and that we as himan beings are able to life in a way that is energetically aware and truly loving. I have learned how to build a rythm in my day to day life to feel vital, in joy and commitment to life. Must say - I would never ever return it for anything else. He showed me and the world that there is a reason and purpose worth living for that is not escaping but truly truly commiting to love back in life - living in a way that is making me feel the love that I have inside and bring it out every single second, every single day. Knowing that in connection our purpose to why we are here on earth is clear - we are here to come back to who we are - as lost Breathnen we can come back now.
Luke Yokota

And this testimony doesn't exaggerate when Otto says committed to love sec by sec.
Ariana Ray
3/7/2016 09:55:28 pm
Otto, you write that with regards Serge Benhayon 'never, ever, once have I seen that love waver.' Neither have I. Nor is that love sold for affection or acceptance or altered to suit the occasion or fit the bill of some demand. The love stands unaffected by the world, deepening in it's quality day by day.
Vicky Cooke
6/7/2016 01:11:21 pm
Serge Benhayon and his family have taught me consistency, steadiness, committment and responsibility and this is only just from observing them over the years. Like you have said their love never wavers, it is a true inspiration to me and hundreds if not thousands of others. Where I am in my life now from knowing them to where I was before is so so different in a very beautifull and awesome way.
Jonathan Stewart
9/7/2016 08:25:10 am
In contrast to 99.9% of the world's population the ordinariness of the Benhayon family is extraordinary and the most amazing thing of this extraordinary ordinariness is that by their lived example is the role model for how all humanity will be in time will be.
Danna Elmalah
11/7/2016 05:39:35 am
That is so true Otto , it has become their ordinary. And so they have increased their level of awareness, level of love and service for people (humanity) and show the world that what we have accepted to be normal is actually not truly what returns us - but keeps us spinning. And so , to break out of the illusion that life is just life and come back to the truth - that we are love and we belong to one whole that is the Universe (heaven).
Simon Voysey
12/7/2016 11:17:36 pm
I do not know of one person who has been in close association with Serge Benhayon over hundreds of events that has ever stated any doubt in Serge's integrity of living everything he presents. This is quite extraordinary.
Nikki McKee
13/7/2016 02:49:03 am
Serge and his family reflect to the world what true love is. Love is what we emanate and it is for all equally. Nothing can stop it but our own choices.
Danna Elmalah
13/7/2016 02:21:33 pm
True love never wavers and can only deepen. Thank you Otto for this simple truth.
Danna Elmalah
13/7/2016 02:25:28 pm
Never have I seen the word inspiration being lived to its true origins - that is inspire to be who we are in fullness to who we are from the inside. That is what Serge Benhayon inspired so many - to be just themselves and discover their inner strenghts. Just like he had and he knows now.
Hannah Morden
15/7/2016 09:25:13 am
Power indeed Otto - Serge Benhayon has consistently been a reflection of complete honesty - and this for him is normal - he shows us the simplicity of living this way, and the absolute power that comes out of that.
Heather Pope
1/1/2017 10:40:08 am
Simplicity is one of the missing ingredients in our way of living. With it difficulties melt away, and a way forward becomes uncompromising in its clarity.
Caroline Francis
15/7/2016 09:09:09 pm
Yes without a shadow of a doubt Serge Benhayon is an extraordinary man in the way he chooses to be and live yet he makes it simple, flowing and a natural way of being that is ordinary and is there for us all. It is our choice.
Caroline Francis
15/7/2016 09:29:09 pm
I have never come across in all my life a man or woman so dedicated to humanity and service such as Serge Benhayon and what I have observed is that nothing gives him more pleasure that when we make the necessary changes in our own lives to step up to this responsibility too. I am committing more and more in all areas of my life and it is the constant unwavering reflection of Serge Benhayon, his family and Universal Medicine including all of the students that are supporting me day by day to step up to this responsibility, stand as an equal and serve.
Sandra Newland
24/7/2016 05:48:15 pm
Serge Benhayon is extraordinary in his level of commitment to life, love of humanity and dedication to serving. He is ordinary in that he walks amongst us no different from any other family man. He treats us all as equal in that he knows we all have the potential to give the same level of service and he inspires us to take responsibility for our lives and come forward out of our mediocrity and contribute in full as he does.
Ariana Ray
30/7/2016 11:14:35 pm
'Never, ever, once have I seen that love waver.' And in all the years I have known Serge Benhayon, I too have never see his love waver - not for a moment. He is the living embodiment of consistency in how he lives, there is no time off or time out, just presenting love to all - all of the time.Always available, his love is in endless supply.
Ariana Ray
2/8/2016 10:19:38 pm
Otto, you talk about how Serge has the 'consistency and commitment to love, every second of every day with every single person in their lives is so total that it has become their ordinary.' And yet is absolutely extraordinary because in todays way of living in the world it is unheard of to live this way. No one has 'consistency and commitment to love, every second of every day with every single person in their lives' because people make it all about self and not about all people. Even people who are engaged in the many 'good' practices and tasks, for charity and for others, there always seems to be an underlying motive for why they do good, wether it's to fill a need, a gap in our lives, whatever it is it is still about self. Yet the Benhayon family have none of that, they live moment to moment for humanity, in the smallest detail of their lives, nothing is left unaddressed, nothing is hidden or unseen, instead all is transparent for all to see and all is for all - always.
Otto Bathurst
22/10/2016 11:20:12 pm
Agree entirely Ariana. And therefore something to ponder is that since we are all equal, we all have the potential to deliver that same consistency and thus our responsibility becomes to make the choices to evolve and support that potential.
Danna Elmalah
5/8/2016 12:47:02 pm
By virtue of his living way , his meaning Serge Benhayon, it is felt by observation - that he lives from an equality that reaches all, a uniqueness that we all express, a divinity that know no holding back, a truth that is expressed in all ways, a rhythm of harmony that is in voice, a loving and beholding way that is felt in everything he does. Simply knowing this man, has brought me back to vulnerability , truth, love , purity and absoluteness - simplicity.
Danna Elmalah
9/8/2016 02:05:02 pm
True Otto - they have shown me and thousands of others that there is another way and that living in this way is actually so loving , so normal.. And so they have turned the tide around - and now it is ordinary , they are absolute amazing people - extraordinary in a beautiful and empowering way.
Rebecca Briant
11/8/2016 12:37:56 am
The Benhayon family redefine for me the meaning of extraordinary - a family who is normal and ordinary and yet they way they live and the love they share is unparalleled
Gabriele Conrad
13/8/2016 03:53:40 am
True, Serge Benhayon is rock solid and does not waver in his commitment to truth and to humanity; the breadth and depth of his service to all of us is nothing short of extraordinary.
Heather Pope
1/1/2017 10:34:56 am
The consistency of commitment offered by Serge Benhayon is an example for the world.
Ariana Ray
15/8/2016 11:26:50 am
The extraordinary is ordinary for Serge Benhayon, that is the delight of meeting him and talking to him, everyone with out exception is as special as everyone else.
Shami Duffy
21/8/2016 09:20:13 pm
The more I get to know Serge Benhayon, the more I come to appreciate him and what he offers us all as an entire human race. This offering will one day be known for what it actually is, the re-awakening of what we have already inside led by a true role-model, a normal human just like us, showing the potential of what life can be.
Danna Elmalah
26/8/2016 03:44:19 pm
This testimonial shows that there is something special here.. That we can ignore and deny it.. But that we are actually everything we are , as the oppposite of what we have been told and telling ourselves all days/years/lives after. How we are conditioned to listen more to words than to feelings and how we are used to be everything but ourselves. This is why the reflection kf meeting Serge in my life as it has been a break through - finally being me - again.
Heather Pope
2/9/2016 11:17:58 am
The unwavering love of Serge Benhayon has shown me I am that love, and what greater gift is there than that.
Otto Bathurst
22/10/2016 11:21:40 pm
It's a gift that he offers to every single person he meets.
Dannaelmalah
6/9/2016 04:24:49 pm
How often do we see a person living from his/her essence everyday? And is consistent to stand in her/his power and beauty all of the time? If you would be someone who said this was possible I would have not believes you.. But because I have seen that it is possible right in front of me , in physicality , I can not but truly say : it is possible and I have felt it. I felt and see and feel it everyday in Serge Benhayon and those who life from their Soul, and some very dedicated students who does so. Since then I know it is possible and I am making it my living way - every day more consistent, open and true (responsible). I am responsible for what quality I bring to life/earth; people (Our brothers).

There is a sweet rhythm that runs through the life of any one person who chooses to live by the light of the soul. And we can call this extraordinary, but really it is very simple and at the deepest part of normal that we can find for that word.
Otto Bathurst

Love the expression 'sweet rhythm' - it describes it beautifully and it is exactly what it is and sounds like. A delicate, tender rhythm that is sweetly attuned to the Universe and thus is in perfect harmony with everything around it. Super cool to describe it this way. Thank you for that SD.

For 8 years I have been attending presentations by Serge Benhayon and the respect and appreciation I have for him, only deepens every time I observe and listen to him. There is an infinite grace in every move he makes, profound wisdom and truth in every word he expresses and there has never been any sign of arrogance - this only comes from true connection to Universal rhythms and cycles and this being 'walking one's talk' and living the truth of this natural and ordinary way.

"...never, ever, once have I seen that love waver." Serge Benhayon is open about making mistakes and being human with all that it brings - very ordinary. Yet with almost ten years of observing Serge at many, many events and with the testimony of many hundreds of other people including those he works with daily, fine tuned into his every movement he makes, it his consistency of holding love for one and all and never going into one iota of anger or emotional reaction of any kind that is truly extraordinary. This is what shows the potential of us all and what can be so confronting to a few who have made their normal living in emotion and reaction.

It is truly beautiful to witness the extraordinary be ordinary through the lived example of the Benhayon family and from that role model to experience it in oneself.

Although Serge Benhayon is truly extraordinary, he is also unfathomably humble, which is extraordinary, given the amount of praise and adoration that he receives from people whose lives have changed just by knowing him. But you can see that none of this goes to his head. Serge remains humble and loving at all times, mainly because that is what he has chosen, what he has unendingly committed to and he is not willing to give up on that, even in the shower of recognition that he is given - nothing seems to be able to top the love he already feels.
Otto Bathurst
6/12/2016 08:43:01 pm
I love this last line - "nothing seems to be able to top the love that he already feels." This is exactly it - when you feel such absolute love then you don't need the praise or thanks of another, you don't need the crescendo of a moment or the success of a task and you certainly wouldn't indulge in any distraction, comfort or disregard that might lessen that love. Keep the tank full and keen on truckin'!

'This is the power of the inspiration that Serge and his extended family live every day. Their consistency and commitment to love, every second of every day with every single person in their lives is so total that it has become their ordinary. '
Otto Bathurst
6/12/2016 08:45:15 pm
And it is lived with such humility, ordinary-ness and accessibility that everyone can be inspired to make the same changes to their choices. The Benhayons have shown that the door is wide open for us all.
Ingrid Ward
17/11/2016 07:50:48 pm
Otto, I love how in a few glorious words you have summed up this amazing man, Serge Benhayon, a man whose commitment to humanity has been so strong, so steady and so loving for the last 17 years. I have known Serge for 12 of those years and the wisdom and the inspiration he has offered me and thousands of others is beyond measure, in fact it is priceless.
Monica Gillooly
18/11/2016 12:16:12 pm
Simple Otto and so true, it is both extraordinary and absolutely ordinary what Serge and his family present, and with a consistency that is un-ending. They are so down to earth and ordinary and yet treat everyone with the same care, and I'm inspired by how they are with each other and all they meet - it shows me how we can all be with each other.

How it ought to be, and how it one day will be - Serge Benhayon and his family leading the way.
Danna
27/11/2016 04:41:41 pm
Absolutely right, there is no waver whatshowever, simply because their life is not about 'self' but humanity (people) and so there is no love when we are not connected. Being connected to your body gives us than space to enfold everything you are.. Other thing that is needed: honesty; the choice to be real, vulnerable and true. Thank you for sharing Otto!
Henrietta Chang
28/11/2016 10:34:16 am
Otto, spot on, Serge Benhayon and his family, do have the amazing ability to live in an extraordinary way and make this become the new ordinary, hence stepping up the game for everyone around. And imagine if we all allowed ourselves to be inspired by this and all stepped up the game, then how much more would the bar be raised, each and every time, and how much would our lives change, each and every time allowing more live into our lives than every before...
Otto Bathurst
6/12/2016 08:48:20 pm
Because it is so ordinary, it makes it impossible for us to deny our responsibility. Well, not impossible - because I have often tried to avoid that responsibility and still often do...but my point is that, no matter what tricks, delay or disregard I may indulge in, the fact is incontestable. This is a way of being that change change the world and it is up to all of us to live that way. Pure responsibility.
Samantha Davidson
29/11/2016 10:32:07 pm
Over the time I have known Serge Benhayon and his family, I have observed the Love grow in its expression, it has been awesome to be inspired by people committed to making Love their everyday. And now, I walk this path.
Stephanie Stevenson
3/12/2016 10:00:41 am
What appears extraordinary to most people is simply a simple and very normal way of living to Serge Benhayon family - what they live is available to everyone of us if we so choose to change our habits keeping us in comfort :)
Vicky Cooke
3/12/2016 11:52:52 am
A simple yet very true testimony regarding Serge Benhayon that is what he lives is extraordinary with regards to his absolute commitment and consistency with love. However what he simply shows is that this is something that should be, and is, ordinary for all of us.
Melinda Knights
8/12/2016 10:35:04 am
It is phenomenal watching the whole Benhayon family and their consistency of lived love. And they reflect how simple it is to live that way because it's who we truly are in essence, and that it can become our new normal. It is so deeply inspiring and I too now am working towards that same daily, consistent lived love.
Ariana Ray
8/12/2016 09:33:11 pm
'Their consistency and commitment to love, every second of every day with every single person in their lives is so total that it has become their ordinary.' How do you make the phenomenal ordinary and everyday? By living it. Then the phenomenal becomes everyday living. That is what Serge Benhayon and his family have done from the outset and they still do it today - consistently so.
Danna
26/12/2016 01:22:42 pm
The power of inspiration is deep, simply because they life in a way that is unique - as it brings us back to Soul. Myself have not seen that lived before and so I am inspired instantly. Can you imagine how many more people are being inspired by Serge alone, let alone all those people who have been inspired and now are being inspirations for all others? Incredible fact - this inspiration is very very powerful.
Heather Pope
1/1/2017 10:33:27 am
The presentations offered by Serge Benhayon show us that the way of living that puts love at the centre of everything is very ordinary once it is chosen, but quite extraordinary in contrast to the way most on the planet are living.
jennym
4/1/2017 02:00:34 am
The consistency of love and support that I see Serge Benhayon and his family live is indeed an inspiration for what true relationship can be. What is even more extraordinary is that they have the same depth and consistency of relationship with others they interact with reflecting the essence of true family.
Jonathan Stewart
6/1/2017 08:35:45 pm
Serge Benhayon truly makes the extraordinary ordinary and the ordinary extraordinary.
Heather Pope
8/1/2017 10:06:08 am
Having observed Serge Benhayon for more than a decade, not only have I never seen his love waver, but I have also felt it grow. His hear knows no bounds.
Ariana Ray
10/1/2017 06:22:42 pm
The commitment and love this man Serge Benhayon lives with is what we see in him everyday. For him it is an everyday thing. We look at see that commitment and feel the love and marvel at it, but for Serge, it is ordinary everyday living. That is what inspires us to see that we do not need to live the misery, we can live Love instead.
Otto Bathurst

Ariana Ray
16/1/2017 06:18:08 am
I so agree Otto that 'never, ever, once have I seen that love waver.' And so much more. What I see in Serge Benhayon is the tremendous love he has for humanity, it knows no bounds. I am very blessed to know a man like this.
Jonathan Stewart
7/2/2017 09:29:07 pm
The power of the inspiration of Serge Benhayon and his extended family is truly remarkable. That inspiration has inspired hundreds, if not thousands, to remodel their lives to live the quality they reflect and in kind have become inspirations for yet more people. How inspiring is that?
Ariana Ray
13/3/2017 02:23:07 pm
'Extraordinary. Ordinary.' Two words that very clearly describe Serge Benhayon. What he offers the world is extraordinary, for how many people are living true integrity in each and every moment? How many live absolute love each and every moment? How many move and breath not for themselves but for humanity? To live this way is extraordinary in any day and age. And yet Serge Benhayon makes such a living way very ordinary and accessible to all. Extraordinary, ordinary and openly available for us all to be inspired to live this way.
Katerina Nikolaidis
18/3/2017 09:48:10 pm
I full agree Otto - I have never ever seen the love that Serge has ever waiver. On the contrary I continue to be amazed and inspired by a man who is here not for himself in any way, but for the sheer love for humanity that knows absolutely no bounds. I feel so blessed to have met Serge Benhayon and to know that this love is possible in us all.
Shami
4/4/2017 01:14:04 pm
It is true that the Benhayon Family give an unwavering love and to see this, accept it, and to appreciate it's value and the lessons therein is quite something in itself.
Matts Josefsson
13/4/2017 01:16:18 am
True, it takes a second to second engagement and consistency and not because to look good but because it's our truth to be that way. It's the level of committing to this that differs in us.
David
28/4/2017 10:40:07 pm
"never, ever, once have I seen that love waver" neither have I, its one of the thing that has not only enabled me to fully trust again but has inspired me in how I am with people and in my relationships. 30/4/2017 12:00:43 pm
Simply put Otto and everything that I too, have experienced and observed. Serge Benhayon is an extraordinary, ordinary and humble man that brings a loving presence to everyone. 15/5/2017 09:06:24 pm
Serge Benhayon reflects to us all a true living way, absolutely lived with integrity, responsibility and love. Serge has proved it is our natural way all we need is to make our own choices in every way loving and honouring of ourselves and others.
Joseph Barker
25/5/2017 03:02:03 pm
We all have the capacity to be the bigger person, to see the truth of what is going on, to read and navigate, to observe, respond and not react, and yet this is something we don't always choose to activate. We tend to come back to it only when we have too. Serge shows us all what life could be like if we instead chose to activate this lighter way of being in this world. Not only that - he shows it's super possible for us all. You can't get more available than that. Thank you Otto for sharing your experience.
Monica Gillooly
14/6/2017 02:15:31 pm
Beautifully said Otto, it is both extraordinary and deeply ordinary, there is no trying, just an absolute consistency and naturalness with all they meet. Truly inspiring.
Fiona Lotherington
26/6/2017 03:08:22 pm
Every thing you ever thought about being a good person, being loving, caring or committed is up for review when you observe and feel how it can be done from truth and from the soul, compared to being a ‘better’ person. And this reflection is never stagnant or fixed, it keeps surprising me but also confirming how we really can be with each other in life.
Stephanie Stevenson
10/7/2017 08:09:08 am
I agree Fiona - meeting Serge Benhayon turned everything upside down with regard to better, nice and good - the truth that Serge Lives and reflects 24/7 makes everything else pale into insignificance.
David
8/7/2017 08:49:09 pm
Otto the consistency that you speak about with Serge is something that is so deeply inspiring as for me it was this that helped me regain trust not only in humanity but in myself as well.
Lorraine Wellman
5/9/2018 12:21:52 am
Yes, Serge Benhayon's consistency has likewise helped me starting to regain trust in myself and humanity.

A love lived and shown with consistency to all is extraordinary but indeed also ordinary, for that is what we all are. Thank you Otto for saying this, and thank you Serge and all your family for living it so we all know and see it is real, it can be lived right here right now.
Shami
3/8/2017 01:02:19 pm
Serge Benhayon is like a rock because he is so consistent and steady with the love that he gives.
Alex Braun
8/8/2017 12:19:04 am
"...never, ever, once have I seen that love waver..." – too good to be true or challenging one´s own lack of commitment and consistency to be love? I feel both inspired and exposed. To see someone living it shows that we all can if we choose to - that´s the standard set by the Benhayon family.
Joshua Campbell
13/8/2017 11:04:56 pm
True Otto. The power of Serge Benhayon is his absolute relatablity. He is the most down to earth, real and humble man I have ever met. Yet he is so totally human about it all. It makes Love real. Not airy fairy.
Otto Bathurst
27/1/2018 10:21:26 pm
Lived and walked every moment of every day, making it utterly real and accessible. The point is that the way Serge lives is in fact THE MOST ordinary way to live, because it is THE CLOSEST to who we are. It is all of the rest of us that are the extra-ordinary, that are living way away from the ordinary.
Nikki McKee
20/8/2017 11:39:34 am
Consistent unwavering love is super healing and powerful.
Nico van Haastrecht
1/9/2017 07:25:34 pm
If you want to know what true love is and how that works out in ordinary life you have to watch Serge Benhayon and the Benhayon family who do live it as natural it just is.
Ariana Ray
3/9/2017 10:50:45 pm
You write of Serge Benhayon and his family: 'Their consistency and commitment to love, every second of every day with every single person in their lives is so total that it has become their ordinary.' That has been my experience of them also. The solid consistency is simply inspiring, uplifting and divine. Thank you Serge Benhayon.
Ariana Ray
25/9/2017 11:32:17 pm
'Their consistency and commitment to love, every second of every day with every single person in their lives is so total that it has become their ordinary.' The Benhayon's do live this way, it's extraordinary in the world because the world doesn't live that way - but they are showing us all there is another way to live.
David
21/1/2018 10:29:36 pm
Ariana a great comment that highlights just how the world as a whole does not live in a true and supportive way, yet what the Benhayons live is a reflection to us all of the quality that is possible.
Leonne Sharkey
7/10/2017 12:17:15 am
As humans we have become so accustomed to complexity and excitement that we overlook the extraordinary miracle of truth and simplicity.
Stephanie Stevenson
8/10/2017 10:55:48 pm
Serge Benhayon's presentations have offered the opportunity to live from the truth of our innermost connection, rather than the illusion of 'bettering' life.
Fiona Pierce
22/10/2017 12:21:40 pm
The consistent commitment to honouring our multi-dimensionality with which Serge Benhayon and his extended family live is founded in a deep integrity that shows us all a quality of life that we all know from our inner-most but perhaps have dismissed as not being of this world - not practical or possible and yet with the lived reflection on offer here we can indeed see that it is most definitely possible, practical and down to earth.
David
12/11/2017 10:12:16 pm
Re-visiting your testimonial Otto and I get to appreciate the incredibleness of Serge in such an ordinary but extraordinary way. Everything is simple, yet deeply profound and life changing that he presents in everyday conversation.
Harrison
16/11/2017 08:12:15 pm
Living a commitment to love, with ourselves and with every person of our every day, now that doesn't make for perfect life but it sure does make for a very amazing and evolving one. 23/11/2017 10:44:44 am
And as we are all witness to what we, today, call ‘ordinary’ or ‘normal, if we are honest we can see and feel that this is not who we truly are and this does not feel right. In our descent as a civilization into more and more abuse and violence, and further away from who we are, it does seem rather extraordinary that amongst all this lovelessness there is one that walks in the absoluteness of love and of who we truly are. Yet in-truth, Serge Benhayon is simply reflecting what is truly ordinary for us all, which in essence is our divine way of being.
David
27/11/2017 08:59:30 pm
Otto each time I meet Serge I feel the power of someone is looks like anyone else yet holds everyone in a depth of love that is unheard of, unseen and rarely felt in this world. that alone to be is extraordinary.
Stephanie Stevenson
1/12/2017 10:31:20 am
Every time I attend presentations by Serge Benhayon there is a confirmation that what appears so extraordinary is simply the truth of the new-normal that is possible for us to all live. It is something to be appreciated which supports me to bring this clearer, "extraordinary-ordinary" highlights just what has changed in my life that is now considered "ordinary" or every day and yet if I look back on how things were I consider it and "extraordinary" change. It's great to catch yourself like this and as I said bring clearer just what a difference there is in every moment since meeting Serge Benhayon.
Jonathan Stewart
24/12/2017 10:03:35 pm
Yes, it is quite extraordinary to look back to where I have come from since meeting Serge Benhayon. So much of how I live my life now I could not have previously imagined yet now I take for granted and see as ordinary. Similarly so much of what I used to see as ordinary I now find un-ordinary.
Otto Bathurst
27/1/2018 10:17:28 pm
Makes me smile deep within to appreciate the extraordinary changes that I have made to my life and how ordinary they feel. Ordinary because they are true - and that is a source of deep joy - also ordinary. So in fact, ordinary is majestic, magnificent, divine and stupendous - because these are all things that we naturally, and very ordinarily, are!
Melinda Knights
1/4/2018 01:21:43 pm
So true Otto, the extraordinary feels ordinary because it's who we naturally are.
Willem Plandsoen
10/12/2017 07:28:42 am
You are very right. His seemingly ordinary life, and the way he lives love 100% of the day, is extraordinary. What a source of inspiration.
Shami
24/12/2017 09:10:07 pm
In a world where inconsistency can be regarded as normal, where one can grow up in to an adult and pretty much expect to live a life of just getting by, having the outstanding reflections of the Benhayon Family is incredible. They show us that not only is there more to live and so much more to our lives and ourselves, but also that this more is available to everyone, that they are not special or chosen, they are just like anyone else, the only difference being that they are putting the work in. And now, with so many inspired people all over the world who have been shown this way, there are many many more who learning how to be so dedicated which is beautiful to watch and to be a part of.
Otto Bathurst
28/4/2018 07:01:50 pm
Without that reflection and inspiration, I could absolutely have just been one of those folks you refer to - "just getting by". Meeting the Benhayons has totally transformed every corner of my life.
Jonathan Stewart
24/12/2017 09:57:19 pm
It is through consistency that we can all make the extraordinary ordinary.
Anna
21/8/2018 01:15:30 pm
Yes absolutely Jonathan, and Serge Benhayon is a perfect example of this.
Willem Plandsoen
28/12/2017 11:34:43 am
Up until meeting Serge Benhayon I thought that I was living a loving life and that my life made sense. Serge Benhayon turned it upside down, showing not only what a life based on love looks like, but also showing that I, we, everybody, can live a life like that.
Vicky Cooke
8/1/2018 01:11:46 pm
And 3 years on and Serge and his family still live every day a consistency and commitment to love, every second of every day with every single person in their lives without this EVER wavering. In fact I would not say the consistency, commitment, love and care has continued but it is always and forever expanding. Never does it stay the same it just gets more and more bigger and bigger ❤️ Truly AMAZING ✨ and yes incredibly inspiring.
David
11/1/2018 08:32:44 am
In a world where life is about 'whats in it for me' its amazing to meet a man that cares so deeply for humanity that with every step he takes he inspires those around him. Furthermore he inspires us all to be that inspiration for others.
Monica Gillooly
17/1/2018 02:20:38 pm
Short, succinct and it captures it all, Otto; Serge and his family are both ordinary and extraordinary and role models for all of us.
Otto Bathurst
28/4/2018 07:04:20 pm
And it is through the ordinary that they are such accessible and inspirational role models. They live their lives with their feet firmly on the ground, in amongst it all, dealing with the everyday hassles and tensions - and yet, amongst all of that, they never waiver in their absolute and 24/7 consistent love of humanity.
Samantha Davidson
28/1/2018 10:34:03 pm
We often make life about what we do, and the things we achieve and although Serge Benhayon is amazingly industrious and prolific with the work he does to support humanity, it is amazing to meet him and say Hi the love and care and respect is simple, humble and very powerful to receive, this is every day consist amazingness is his ordinary. We can all be using our standard of ordinary. 1/2/2018 09:48:42 pm
The consistent love Serge Benhayon and his extended family live, show just how possible it is to be, and express this way every day. They have made the extraordinary, ordinary and show a way to live that is inspiringly powerful and simple at the same time. |
