Serge Benhayon and Friendship

Sara Williams on Serge Benhayon and friendship
by Sara Williams, Owner/Director of Spherical Living Ltd. 

We live in a world where friendship comes loaded with conditions. Even a universally accepted quality like loyalty in friendship comes with the expectation of exclusivity, the anticipation that ‘you will do right by me no matter what’, even if it means doing wrong by another. This is not the way of Serge Benhayon, who defies all current perceptions of friendship and instead lives true friendship, a relationship that is always and never not all-encompassing of every person he meets, equally so. 
Never before have I encountered someone who expresses in such equalness to all whom he meets, expressing the same degree of loving attention and openness, respectfully varying only in his communication of affection.
I had spent some years kneeling before a Shiatsu Sensei and Buddhist priest in Japan in pursuit of a greater purpose and understanding of life. By the time I met Serge, I had begun to see the contradictions of the all too common compartmentalised ‘public life – private life’ divide, something most of us know all too well – one face in public, another face for behind closed doors – prevalent in, but by no means exclusive to Japan. But I still harboured some considerable caution in relationships about not being fooled or hurt again by these inconsistencies when I came to know Serge Benhayon, initially as the presenter of Universal Medicine courses in the UK. I sensed instantly, here was a man that could teach me much and although there was much resistance in me to go anywhere near ‘another teacher’, there was no denying the sense of homecoming I felt within when Serge spoke. 

Serge encouraged observation and not following of his living quality and in particular, the integrity of living your quality consistently throughout all areas of your life, being yourself in all relationships. Here was a man, living an ordinary life in an extraordinary way, bringing the same level of loving expression to every relationship he encountered, reserving no less of himself for a tradesperson and coveting no more for close friends. Most inspiringly, Serge presented that this quality he lived from and with, was within each of us equally, not something someone would deliver to us, or something unattainable we must worship in another – he spoke of God within us all. 

So I observed and did so for years. What followed were years of observation, observation of the presenter, the man, the husband, the father, the friend. I observed over many years, a man who lived what he spoke, who made no claim to perfection, but instead an absolute dedication to living energetic truth and energetic integrity. And this he lived, not just before his growing audiences, but between presentations, after them and equally at home. I observed this humble and assured man present himself, all of himself wherever and with whomever he spoke - whether before hundreds or before one, whether with someone for the first time or his wife, this man was the same, he expressed the same loving quality, opened up the same way, letting everyone in and loving all equally, holding them in equalness. 

Friendship with Serge Benhayon is profoundly loving and most significantly, inspires the understanding that to love one person in true friendship is to hold all people in that equal love.

Thank you for this Sara - I wholeheartedly agree that I've never known someone to hold people so equally - no matter what their story is.
That is unseen in the world - we're taught to have favourites, dislike people, compete with others, play nice to get somewhere.
Serge has presented that none of those games are necessary.
That in seeing everyone the same - you too are able to be your true self all of the time.
From someone who very much lived 2 lives (public and private) this has been huge for me - and I very much appreciate the support of both Sara and Serge in helping me understand that I don't have to be scared of showing who I really am all of the time.

Absolutely Mary and Hannah, I am at the beginnings of understanding and actually accepting that the immense respect and care that I have been treated by Serge Benhayon and Sara Williams has all been to let me know that there is nothing wrong with me. When in the presence of Serge Benhayon and Sara Williams they meet you with their bare open selves not hiding anything and with that their genuineness can put you at ease. They are like a breath of fresh air.

Hi Mary, I too feel the hugeness of what you are saying, living one way for the public and another way at home. Serge presents this to us so clearly and he is also helping me through his inspiration to accept and honour all of me in all situations, sharing me with the world and not what I think the world expects of me.

Michelle McWaters

Yes for me too Mary. I used to be so scared to show 'the real me' believing I wasn't enough. I'd put on a tough exterior whilst all the while feeling like mush! I took on ideals and beliefs with an arrogance I can hardly credit now, but because of Serge Benhayon I have slowly learnt to appreciate and love myself a whole lot more and in that the 'real' Michelle has started to come forwards. I am starting to amaze myself with all my qualities, to understand them and to love them.

Yes Mary and Hannah, I am one of those other people who very much lived 2 lives (public and private) and agree it's letting go of being scared to be myself - a huge one for me! Sara and Serge are always there to support us to be all that we are. Sometimes I feel I am taking baby steps and at other times it is more like leaps of joy as I trust the process of being me!

Mary your "2 lives" would likely be how most people live, or even more faces for different situations. We're supposed to be humans, not chameleons! How awesome it is to know at least one person in this world, Serge Benhayon, who is himself all the time, showing it can be done.

I agree Hannah, judging others is an ingrained part of our society, and conflicts are often rife at work, at home or in friendships. And yet Serge and his family, and now because of them many others, present another way, a way that is respectful of everyone.

Absolutely Michelle, playing games is not healing for anyone and of course the intention in those games is always to look good, or beat someone else, gain recognition and such like and if that is the energy we live then those we 'love' get that energy too it doesn't switch off just because we think it so.

Anything that separates us from our natural ability to connect is keeping us from living the true potential that Serge Benhayon shares with the world. No hiding or showing a different face. What is offered is the truth in full and a willingness to stand in this with his unwavering love for humanity.

This is so true Hanna. Through Serge's example of holding everybody equal and none of the accepted 'games are necessary' has enabled so many to also let go of the games. Like you he has helped me to no longer be scared of showing who I really am.

What you have reflected here Hannah feels true for me also. How odd is it now to look at the world and see how we have been raised - by the way the world is - to not love everyone and see them as equals. These terms get bandied about a lot, and I certainly did learn the phrase 'Love one another as I have loved you' during my Catholic education - but never did I see anyone actually living anything remotely close to that until I met and have observed Serge Benhayon over many years. He actually does love everyone - and deeply so. It's not just words or put on for 'show', and is there as an example for us all to learn from should we so choose it. I for one love having this choice and freedom to actually love all people, as I am naturally designed to do.

Excellent point Amelia, how often do words get bandied around but they are actually not embodied and lived by the person. I was also way too familiar with this throughout my Catholic education and I reacted to this with quiet disdain of the hypocrisy. I have also in the work place heard the CEO use words such as 'we are all equal we just all do different things', so again words that are absolutely true yet offer absolutely not reassurance as there is not an ounce of this available to be felt as the way it is. This is why meeting Serge Benhayon has been incredible, it does feel almost too good to be true to meet a man that lives as Sara describes. Sara has described Serge in a way that sounds normal yet it is so so rare to meet anyone throughout ones entire whole life that lives with this level of love and integrity. So much so that to describe the man Serge Benhayon to someone that has not met and listened to him could easily be perceived as putting someone on a pedestal or being under a charismatic spell. This is so far from the truth that it is awful to hear anyone suggest it, in time the world will come to know this is definitely not the truth. The truth is, Serge Benhayon is a man that lives as God would, to the best of his ability, if God were here on Earth.

Lorraine Harris
26/4/2015 06:22:43 pm

What you have said Amelia, in response to Hannah's comment, resonates with me also. There were so many rules and regulations in various religions that I met throughout my childhood, that none of it made sense to me. My search through adulthood led me further from the truth. What Sara said, 'I sensed instantly, here was a man that could teach me much and although there was much resistance in me to go anywhere near ‘another teacher’, there was no denying the sense of homecoming I felt within when Serge spoke'. When I first met Serge, it lit up my kowing that here at last was a man speaking the truth. Not only that, all I had to do was connect to that same source of love within me.

Michelle McWaters
7/5/2015 03:25:02 pm

I had a complete revelation a few weeks ago when I heard Serge present on relationships - yes I had always felt how equally he treats people and me also, but what he presented went to a whole new level when I realised it was possible for me to do the same. He expressed he was in a power relationship with everyone and I could feel the truth and absoluteness of this expression. In feeling this I definitely got an "aha" moment. I finally got that appreciation of myself and appreciation of the other allows for the expression of something that is unique and special to that particular constellation and that this is something we can have with every single person we meet or are in relationship with. The magic of this is that each constellation is different and offers something different and so there is a joy in the meeting of another and in the expansion of expression and what is brought out. The key for me is to keep developing my own self appreciation so that I get to the same level of appreciation for another, regardless of where they are at with no investment in them feeling the same for me, but to give them the grace and space to be. in this space there is the power of healing and holding another in the appreciation and love for all their true qualities. "Learning to love another as I have loved you" I have learned starts with loving myself.

Deanne – I’m deeply appreciative you have shared these words “The truth is, Serge Benhayon is a man that lives as God would, to the best of his ability, if God were here on Earth.”
This is the simple truth of who Serge Benhayon is.

Joshua Campbell

Or 'Treat others as you want to be treated' was another phrase commonly used. While there was truth in it, it still came loaded with conditions and was open to different interpretation by many people as some would not mind being treated rough so they can treat others rough. But what is presented with Serge Benhayon is a livingness of a truly high standard that felt and lived consistently with many. That is true friendship!

Sarah Flenley
22/7/2015 08:15:01 pm

So true Amelia. I remember the first time I heard Serge speak about loving al equally and that he loves all people as much as he loves his family and I was like - What the???? Surely he does not really mean that. But for sure he does and over the years I have seen that to be true. I have never ever seen that before - I've heard people bandy the phrase as you say, but never seen it actually lived. It is incredibly inspiring and revolutionary.

This was my experience as well Amelia, I was involved in a few churches, looking for the community brotherhood that I knew was available to us. I did not feel a quality in these environments of truth, there were aspects but nothing that represent the love and truth that I knew within myself God to be. All that I have head Serge Benhayon present resonates deeply within my body and I signed relief during my first Universal Medicine workshop to be hearing such practical information on life, health and relationship that finally made complete sense on every level.

Thanks Amelia - and I agree we are naturally designed to love people and ourselves - yet we spend so much time and energy fighting this, To the point where we see each other as strangers. There is a deeply engrained sense of inequality that just does not make sense on the scale of things.

The telling of words and not living the words is a huge contrast and is felt by everyone. When we voice this, we give the potential for the truth to be heard and lived as Serge Benhayon lives each day.

In answer to Rebecca below, yes it is the norm to hold judgments about people, judgments which separate and never see and embrace the whole person. To meet a man like Serge Benhayon and feel his utter lack of judgment is profoundly healing. Actually meeting someone like this who does not impose on you is a very rare event, since our societal way of being with each other means we are imposing much of the time.

Josephine you mention an amazing quality of Serge - to meet Serge and not feel one ounce of judgment, pleasing, imposing, but to feel equal-ness, respect and love is exactly what you get. The first time I attended a course with Serge, we did an exercise in this, turning to my neighbour, a stranger and truly meeting them, let them in and letting myself out...well this was life changing and I had streams of tears of unexpected joy. The fact was I did not realise what I was missing until that moment. A huge thank-you to Serge the man that meets you with no judgement.

Lorraine Harris
10/5/2015 05:07:24 pm

As I read your comment Josephine, I resonated with what you said about Serge's lack of judgement and what a profound healing it is to be in his presence. It highlights what is missing in life generally and once experienced, there is no going back. All relationships take on a whole new meaning.

To meet a man such as Serge Benhayon who does not impose anything on you is rare indeed. He truly embodies living from the inner heart where relationship does not involve having to get your needs met by another.

Rowena Stewart

Very true Josephine, judging one another is so automatic that we, especially women, have so often summed one another up in seconds. Meeting Serge Benhayon was such an unusual event not only because of the lack of judgment and the lack of imposition, but the very open, calming and gentle manner that he greets all with. Very beautiful and inspiring to experience and a great marker for us all to attain in our lives, because when we drop the judgment, we are free to truly enjoy and celebrate one another in all our differing expressions.

It is the self-judgement that I have found to be the biggest impediment to being all that I could possibly be and reaching my full potential. Serge Benhayon always sees who everyone is in their essence and treats them as no less and in that - self judgement starts to fade as you are being met by someone who only holds you in and with the Love that we are ALL from. An extraordinary, but yet such an ordinary man.

Lorraine Harris

Like you Hannah I have loved the lesson in equalness that Serge Benhayon presents to us simply through the way he lives and interacts with everyone. No favourites, no dislikes, no comparisons, just accepting everyone for who they are regardless of their story and never wavering in his love for them.

Hannah what I understand from your words is that we all have two lives running - some maybe more for there could be the work face, home face, friend face etc. The masks are worn to get through life completely avoiding the love that we are, can be and so desperately want to be. Serge Benhayon has shown me that I can be all that I am and not hold this back ever.

Sara this one line "He spoke of God within us all" has stopped me. Before meeting Serge Benhayon no-one I had met or spoken to considered that God was within us all. To me God was something unattainable - the man with the white beard in the sky. I had all but given up on the existence of God - yet I knew there was something more. What I felt in my first meeting with Serge is the instant friendship and whilst I didn't know what to call it then - I knew that I had met someone very special - the first person that showed me that God is within us all.

I agree David, Serge's ability to talk about God and inspire so many people to find God in their lives and in their bodies is truly amazing. I never considered God much in life, except as you say, a person greater than myself and unattainable, but through my friendship with Serge I have found that actually there is far more of a relationship to be had with God.

The day Serge Benhayon presented me with those same words, "that God is within us all", David, was a day I won't forget. It certainly turned my world upside down. I had always struggled with the concept of a God, especially as I saw others searching for him outside of themselves, and in some cases giving their power away to what their idea of what God is. When I realised that connection to God was actually very simple, not all mysterious, and equally attainable for everyone, was definitely a life changing moment, one of many that I have experienced since first meeting Serge Benhayon.

I too struggled with the God word Ingrid. It would bring up a huge resistance in me but now, as you say, it is a connection that is actually very simple and personal to me since I met Serge Benhayon and realised that God is within me, not out there somewhere. I now know I don't have to go to outside of myself to a Church or anywhere else in order to have a chat with God. A life changing moment!

Mary Adler
10/3/2015 02:34:37 pm

Beautifully said Sara. Serge Benhayon has shown me the meaning of true friendship, which is an equal love and connection to everyone he meets no matter if he is with them every day or met for the first time. I clearly remember the first occasion I attended a talk in London by Serge that I felt here was a man I could talk to about anything and he would answer with truth and wisdom and with no judgement of me. This has been consistent through all the years I have known Serge, his integrity in sharing his love and friendship with all equally has never wavered. I am inspired by Serge to take true friendship into my relationships with others.

I love your last point Michelle, that 'Serge shows me how not be judgemental of myself and others'. This prompted a moment of realisation that being judgemental is harmful and whether it is directed at another or ourselves makes no difference as it is intertwined; if we are judgemental of ourselves, we are judgemental of others, and if we are judgemental of others we are judgemental of ourselves. The problem with this is that it starts with the falsehood of saying we are something we are in fact not, rather than seeing us as who we truly are first, then simply observing something we say or do that has not come from our true divine essence.

Serge Benhayon is a huge support and a great person to have in one's life. Any connection with Serge is for life. No moment is fleeting or without meaning and because he sees and treats every interaction he has with another as meaningful, one always receives his full presence and love.

Yes so true Rebecca, it is amazing and wonderful to observe and one could do so for a long time, as Serge has so much to teach us. Sara has summed it so well, for he is an extra-ordinary man living a quite ordinary life, just like the rest of us, yet making the most of every moment to build relation know him and to also know that he feels the same about every single person he meets to.

'I sensed instantly, here was a man that could teach me much'. This has also been my experience when I first attended a presentation by Serge Benhayon. And it still is, as I continue to be graced by and learn from the many courses and workshops available at Universal Medicine. Serge is indeed a true teacher, one that doesn't encourage worship in him but instead inspires us to connect to the love that we all are equally. This is true equality - God within us all.

I too related to this comment -
'I sensed instantly, here was a man that could teach me much'. o many of us are so stuck in thinking that there's nothing I need to learn - and how much they are missing here. I have learned more since I met Serge Benhayon than I ever knew in my whole life, prior to meeting him. And bring on the learning - I love it.

Hah Ariana, I DID think I had nothing to learn when I first met Serge Benhayon! I thought I was going to get a few clever techniques to add to my complementary health treatments. I was not that open to hearing truths that might transform my life. But I was struck with how what he presented made sense of so much in life, how the techniques he shared felt deeply and profoundly healing and how inspiring the way he lived and related to people was. This constant sharing of life-transforming wisdom, support and inspiration is still going ten years on from that day.

This is so true and something I can also relate to. I knew as soon as I heard and saw Serge there was so much I was learning, could learn from him, and still do. All he brings and teaches is invaluable but also what is deeply beautifull about him is that he is the same with everyone equally, he doesn't hold back his love and doesn't put himself on a pedastall.

When I first met Serge Benhayon, I just knew he was the real deal. Everything he said made sense to me, what he talked of I'd had glimpses of in my life before, but didn't know what they were, but there was a quality about him very different to any other 'spiritual' teachers. He lacked arrogance and exuded authenticity. This has never changed

Serge continues to refer to himself as a forever student and the love, joy and contentment that comes with a life of being a student of oneself is deeply inspiring. Being constantly open to the 'I wonder what that means?' and 'What if's?' about all areas of life does bring a sense of contentment and less struggle in life.

Thank you Sara you have encapsulated the real essence of everything that is so special about Serge Benhayon. And the real joy is that Serge does not hold himself to be above anyone else, to have the answer while everyone else does not. Instead he freely lives and presents this love to us all, constantly reminding us all that we have this quality within and setting a living example from which we can learn by. As you say, he is just an ordinary man living in an extraordinary way, with a steadfast adherence to truth, honesty, integrity and love and one can only bless the day he entered our lives.

What you have expressed here speaks volumes about friendships and how we can potentially be with them; as well as how Serge lives and what is important to him 'a man who lives what he speaks, who makes no claim to perfection, but instead an absolute dedication to living energetic truth and energetic integrity'. This is so true. I have also observed how through your livingness you are the same as Serge in how you truly meet every person you are with and hold them as equal, which is truly inspiring and testimony that we can all have and live a dedication to living energetic truth and energetic integrity.

Friendships so often seem to be forged in' the anticipation that ‘you will do right by me not matter what’, even if it means doing wrong by another.' Whilst 'This is not the way of Serge Benhayon, who defies all current perceptions of friendship and instead lives true friendship'. I have certainly found this to be so also. Until I met Serge, I had never experienced someone who met me as an equal and held me in that equalness as he does with everyone. It is extraordinary and yet he is such an ordinary man. Thank you for presenting this view of Serge Benhayon, that is so open for us all to see the true quality of your friendship.

This is beautiful and so true to what I have also experienced observing Serge Benhayon over the last 8 years. His consistency of holding everyone he meets with the same love and respect as he would family and friends with absolutely no difference, has inspired me to look at my consistency in relationships as well. It really exposed all those sayings of 'blood is thicker than water' and 'what happens in the family, stays in the family', for the exclusivity it is. There is a freedom in not holding back my love now from anyone I meet, no matter if I have known them for years or have just met.

I agree Aimee. Once one has experienced this level of love, it exposes just how insular and damaging the family ideal is. Attending the Universal Medicine workshops, listening to Serge, watching and feeling how he is with others and myself has not only taught me much, but has opened my heart to people again and now I actually enjoying engaging with and connecting people regardless of their nationality, culture, skin colour, age or gender. And this is coming from someone who desperately wanted nothing to do with people 10 years ago! Serge Benhayon has taught me the real meaning of family, the whole world is our family.

Once you get to know Serge, you realise that the way he presents is the same, whether he is at the dinner table, having a casual chat with you, or presenting to a couple of hundred people. He never changes who he is. There is not not a face for this part of his life, and then one face for another part of his life. And this is rare, especially when we consider that for most of us we know how we change who we are according to who we are with. It is this loving consistency that Serge presents all day every day that inspires and encourages so many peole to open up to all of life again, something that for many of us we have not done since childhood.

I loved your article Sara. You watched and waited, could there be a flaw in this remarkable man? Well, he is human after all but like you I have observed and wondered, only to have my trust restored from having experienced various people who set themselves up as teachers, who over time showed their flaws. I too went down the Japanese Master route for a period of time but felt uncomfortable when inconsistencies appeared.

Serge has always said he is a presenter of information, he has remained consistent and I have attended various events for nearly 9 years now. The way he is with everyone is no different to how he is with his family. Inclusive of all, an example of how life can be when we are open to love. Knowing he is always there for everyone, we can trust it really is possibly to be who we are by observing Serge and his remarkable family.

The day I met Serge changed my life forever and I will be eternally grateful that I decided to trust once more by going to a workshop that had been recommended by a colleague. I was sceptical to say the least but once there, something in me knew I had found something that resonated deeply. There are no limits to the potential within us all - as demonstrated by Serge, reflecting all that we can be when we listen to and trust that still voice within. Serge is the ultimate friend, always there no matter what, no conditions or expectations. That is true friendship. To know Serge is to know love and the way life can be for us all.

How many of us have a mistrust of teachers, having shared similar experiences to yourself - one face to the world, but this whole other face behind closed doors?

I too continually bless the day I first met Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Serge is a continual source of true friendship, a man who is completely committed to life and his responsibility within it in a way no-one has ever claimed or demonstrated to this depth or extent before. There is not one ounce of judgment in his body, not a shred of malice or ill intent, just an open still heart rich in love, grace and space. Serge perpetually inspires me with his innate ability to observe another’s choice and allow people the space to make their own choices, learn and evolve at their chosen pace, however fast or slow we decide that to be, he never judges just informs and embodies the way ahead.

To love all as you love one is an amazing trait, Serge Benhayon does live in such a way and my relationship with Serge can provide an example. Serge has always extended his hand to me like a true brother. He has always had time for me, answered any question I have had either in person or via email without delay and honestly and directly. He has always been there for a hug when I have felt to offer one. He has waved sessions fees, not because I needed the financial support, but it was his way of simply honouring my commitment to what I knew to be true and the time and energy I was devoting to it. Serge has never asked anything of me that I have not volunteered and then, has not reminded me or held me to account in any way shape or form if I have not delivered it. There have been times, because of my own self absorption, that I have not been a true brother to him and have avoided him because of an issue I have indulged in or some ideal or belief that had a hold of me at the time. Yet on the next occasion there has never been a hesitation on Serge's part to accept the fullness of me again. There has never been a history on Serge's part. Thus for eight years now I have had a consistent, unspoken reflection about what true brotherhood is about. This has made a deep impression on me about what true relationship and friendship means and that we are all capable of this and how being such a role model for others can change lives.

That can stir up a reaction in some people as it did me I sat with it and decided that my reaction was based on the fact that I felt the pain of not living what was being presented to me. I then had a choice to dismiss Serge Benhayon and the love that he shared with me so freely or accept it. I choose to accept that love that he showed me because deep down since a child I had been looking for that unconditional love and I know that it is what we are all looking for.
To be loved unconditionally. It has been a life changing experience for me I can tell you.

It can be all too easy to compartmentalise our lives, something I am aware of doing, which makes it so great to read Sara, you recognising that quality of equalness displayed by Serge Benhayon which delivers a consistency of expression whomever he is speaking with. To consider no-one less nor more is the perfect way to live, that is why I enjoy seeing Serge as he displays a quality I aspire to, to treat everyone equally, everyday in every moment.

I am truly blessed to know Serge. He has shown me that I can just be myself. Whenever I have seen him or talked to him, he has never talked down to me like other teachers and adults have, he treated me as an equal and like a friend. I truly appreciate knowing Serge and the inspiration that he is to me everyday.

It is strange in a way that we need to write about and highlight the things Serge Benhayon is - in this case the most loving and supportive friend you could ask for. His consistency and quality in every facet of his life - as is pointed out with presenting or talking around the dinner table, is actually very remarkable - but feels like the most normal thing in the world. The world could do with a lot more of this 'normal'.

It is incredible to observe Serge in a room from a distance to see that he holds everyone equal. When he is listening to someone, he gives them his full attention and when he talks to me, I feel that there is no-one else around because I can feel his full focus on me at that moment. He offers true friendship to all.

I agree Gill, I have experienced waiting in line to speak to Serge at the end of a course, and observing his utter patience, respect and love for every person, without a drop of resentment or frustration around staying back, sometimes for a long time, after a whole day or several days of presentations. I have also observed how his attention never strays from the person he is talking with - its really amazing to see and to experience.

Serge is completely unique in my experience in being the only person I have ever met who completely balances his life. His dedication to his work does not take him away from his family, the home, his local community, or the daily tasks of living, as happens with many people who totally dedicate themselves to their study or job. In fact what Serge teaches, the choice for energetic responsibility in every moment of every day, whatever we are doing and whoever we are with, is how he lives, so he embraces everything and everybody equally, and with love. As you say, Sara, a most extraordinary, ordinary man.

In the past 7 years I have witnissed exactly what you describe here Sarah: Serge loves us all, without one exception equally. Just like you I observed and observed and found him as open and loving with a tailor as a staffmember of the hotel or someone with a high policital position or his family. What strikes me every time is there is absolutely no compartimentalizing of people in different groups and also how the love is there instantly in the first meeting and connecting to the other. Very exceptional to witness.

I relate to what you have shared about not wanting to follow 'another teacher'. I was wary of Serge when I first came across his work. After having been in religion from a young age and moving on to spirituality in my 20's I did not want another 'thing' to follow. Yet, when I heard him present and experienced the modalities that he teaches, I could not deny what I felt in my body. I too have observed him (scrutinised, probably!) and found him to be nothing short of loving, consistent and holding everyone as equals.

Thank you Sara, your testimonial is very true and clearly confirms just what a generous, open hearted friend Serge is to everyone. Up until meeting him, I had never really understood what the word 'friend' really meant, but now I do. It is an un-erring commitment to always see the essence of another first, to always confirm and support an individual to connect and be all of who they truly are, to treat them as an equal. One cannot wish for a truer friend or better example from which to deepen all our friendships and appreciation of one another. Serge Benhayon is heralding in a new era of true friendship and brotherhood, a living example of brotherhood in action.

Building on Sara's very powerful and true testimonial about Serge, I love how you have defined true friendship, Rowena, as being 'unerringly committed to always seeing the essence of another first'.

Indeed we have made love to be very limited and so empty of true love stillness and truth.

Beautifully summed-up Sara. How often do we see a line of print extolling someone's qualities and virtues in the form of......"The many faces of so and so"..... In the case of Serge Benhayon, his rock-solid quality is exactly the opposite. He has one face for everybody. His consistency is unique. When one sees him give his all on stage and then afterwards, engage him in conversation, he is exactly the same man. This down-to-earth, direct and accessible quality is, in my view, his core strength and experiencing it can be quite surprising in today's sophisticated world.

I had never seen this before from another until I met Serge and in all honesty in the eleven years since knowing him I have rarely seen it in everday lifeHe is a teacher not in the conventional way but in the most practical of ways...he lives, and he only speaks from his livingness. Because of this what one allows oneself to feel in his presence is inspirational and as you say it comes with an equality, knowing that he is no greater a man in his wisdom or capabilities than anyone of us, but in his dedication and commitment to living in this most tender and loving way.

Serge Benhayon redefines friendship.

He has never once said 'only I can do this and I'm special', not once. Rather he has consistently stated that what he does is available to us all. This is a man who lives and walks integrity to a degree that has never been seen on this planet for very many years. Just simply, we are the same, he is just choosing to live it without faltering.

Held in so much Love and Equalness by him when I am with him all my so called issues I approached with fall aside. I actually get stuck for words in his presence where it shows me where I'm not being Honest and fully appreciating myself in the Equalness he holds me in. The games cease and I am honoured for the deep loving tendering caring man I AM.
Serge has taught me how to be a true man. My father, grand father, the friend of the family priest, and all the men I grew up with did not reflect to me the man I ached to be. I did not want to grow up and be a man.
Today there is nothing more I want to share. I am honoured and blessed to have Serge Benhayon as a true father figure and loving friend.

Serge Benhayon has shown me that it is possible to live a self connecting life and make choices that support us to deeply love ourself. I can honestly say today that I absolutely love my life and I no longer crave or want another persons life. I do not follow anyone and I feel I have grown up because I am learning to be even more responsible. I never imagined this was possible at my age and I now Love people, not avoid them.

It took a while for me to learn what intimacy REALLY is, and I learned it from the teachings presented by Serge.

From my first meeting with him at his first workshop in the UK, he asked for no special treatment. I’ve travelled far and wide in the search of self and followed Gurus. In these relationships, there was a separation, us and them. We were devotees, devoted to the Guru or teacher. Serge showed us to be devoted to ourselves first and then be of service to others. He shared that we are all one and equal that we are divine and that each one of us can connect to our own divinity. This is a rare quality: to say everything I am, you can be too and more.

Sara I completely agree with all that you have written. I spent much of my life trying to elicit exclusive relationships with people so that I would feel secure in the knowledge that at least someone loved me(!) Serge Benhayon has taught me that this way of living is totally counter productive and very limiting.
For example I used to get jealous when friends liked other people more than me - I was afraid of feeling left out of social engagements. I often excluded myself from social events so I didn’t have to deal with the anxiety of people not liking me.
Having observed Serge Benhayon for more than ten years I have learnt that it is very beautiful to love everyone equally starting with myself. I am so grateful for being shown this other way of relating. I now can experience the beauty of everyone I meet and appreciate them for who they are so much more than I ever could before. Now I love meeting people. I'm no longer inhibited by how much they do or do not like me. Life is so much more fun!

I could feel Serge's integrity and commitment to people and love through the website and now that I have come to know Serge in person I can see that he brings his amazing level of integrity to all he touches.

Serge Benhayon possess a living quality and integrity I had never before witnessed or felt in a teacher of any kind or friend for that matter. In his presence I felt lovingly ‘held’, equally so, and there was indeed an undeniably palatable sense of homecoming and a knowing that this man can be trusted, deeply so. He is the epitome of one who lives what he teaches with extraordinary consistency and immense love.

Indeed it is beautiful to hold everyone in that equal love. Something very important I have learned from Serge is that when we shut one person out - we shut everyone out - and that hurts! Truly letting people in, and not allowing things to come up in the way of that has been such an important learning - and has deepened every relationship I do have, and will do ongoing.

Words do injustice to the man for whom we love so dearly, who's teaching The Way once again. The shear fact, that so many are inspired to live The Way, or at least in part do so, is real testimony. A teacher, friend and more, Serge Benhayon - you're a beautiful being.

Beautifully said Sara, it is an amazing thing to have Serge as a friend, because his love for everyone is almost tangible it is so strong. Serge doesn't reserve his love for a select few, or only after you have known him, for a while, he is your friend, support and equal from the first moment and for every moment thereafter.

It's so true Sara, Serge always considers and respects all equally. There is not an ounce of favouritism towards any one person; nor any choice made at the expense of another... In fact Serge's whole way of life is in support of and in respect to all equally - this is remarkable.
It's interesting that we get 'taught' growing up that there are certain things we need to 'do' to make or keep friends- however, this is not true friendship.
Serge sets the marker by being a true friend- open, loving, consistent, present and deeply genuine- while asking absolutely nothing in return.

Initially it was was hard to fathom that someone could actually hold all others as equal, especially someone with a wife and family, yet here is Serge Benhayon bringing true friendship and indeed true love consistently so. I cannot articulate what this has offered me in terms of deeply restoring my trust in humanity and my purpose in life. Ironically there is no-one quite like Serge Benhayon and yet we are all just like him in our capacity to love. He is an absolute inspiration!

The world could do less than follow the example set by Serge Benhayon and his family in the way they present friendship as being something that is not exclusive to one and not another. Sure, there are people with whom they associate more, but this does not mean that they are any less open or caring with another, or treat another less equally, be it that they see them less often - and that is part of the reason why so many people consider Serge Benhayon as a friend on so many levels. It is easy to see from the outside looking in why some would consider this to be guru like in behaviour, especially when such an observation comes without assessing and understanding the innate equal-ness present in each and every one of those individual relationships in the first place.

I too observed Serge Benhayon for a long time. I had made poor choices in the past in my search for a life that had more joy in it, and I was determined not to do that again. So like you Sara, I observed, and it was in this observation I saw an extraordinarily humble man, who offers insights into a new way of living. Having lived that way for 10 years now, I can categorically say it works. No tricks, no mystery, no hooks, just real life with joy and love as the norm.

Serge Benhayon has shown me the truth that to be Love is greater than being loved. Through his example and reflection I know this to be true and it is a joyful way to live that has helped me to live life from the inside out not the outside in. To be Love is to not need to seek it from others and from this foundation true relationships and friendships can be built.

Thanks Sara for your testimonial , what you have said about Serge Benhayon is exactly what I have observed over the years , an amazing ability to meet people equally and present much wisdom for people to ponder on . There is no force in his style , just a presentation which allows people to connect with what is presented or not .The consistency of over 12 years of tireless presenting ,writing and working as practitioner in harmony with love and patience in service to the people that ask for his help is truly amazing , something I have not witnessed in another in all my years of life . That to me is very inspirational as it makes me have faith in what we as humans are capable of , in comparison to the ugliness that our man made world can reflect in its corruption, disharmony, selfishness and conflict.

I can really relate to what you have written here Sara, 'one face in public, another face for behind closed doors', I meet a lot people involved with new age, spiritual practices through my work and often observe this difference between the public face and what goes on behind closed doors, one example is an immaculate, very zen retreat centre that it well looked after for the public to see but the owner living in a very messy, cluttered private home that the public do not see.

I agree wholeheartedly Sara. In the 13+ years I have known Serge Benhayon I have observed nothing but equal and consistent love for all that he meets or knows. Never have I seen this 'slip' or waiver. What I have come to know is that the way Serge is in relationships is not just possible for us all but our natural way of being. Relationships are what life is all about and as I begin to embrace this true way in relationships, as presented and lived by Serge, I notice how others naturally open to myself and others they are in relationship with, and so their relationships also deepen and change.

From these observations and understanding that Serge does not have special powers that it is within us all to be this open and loving equally has been life changing. That I am capable of being the Love that God designed us all to be, by choosing this I have these intimate and true friendship that I never would have felt possible.

Thank you Sara for your exquisite blog. Since I was a young child, I have always known that something was very 'wrong' with our way of living, the state of humanity and the choices most of us are making every day of our lives. I just could not put my finger or get a handle on it until I met Serge Benhayon. And now 15 years later I am still deeply touched every time I come in contact with him and experience and observe the love and truth he offers without exception to every single person he meets. The absolute acceptance he is holding everyone in at all times without any expectations to be any different is simply extraordinary. Without ever wavering he presents and reflects back to humanity the amazingness we all are and therefore allows us unencumbered to recognise and make our own choices. On the basis of that we all become very responsible for our own growth and evolution in our own time. Being a true friend, Serge has only ever been presenting the way out of our own darkness into the light, choosing to start the 'walking' is entirely up to us.

Sara - your opening line of this testimonial is a stop within itself. How is it possible to truly have love in the world if we have 'needs' and 'conditions' with the people whom we are closest too? Imagine if we were to all ask ourselves this the next time we were with our partners, with family or even in a meeting with colleagues. It would change the whole dynamics of every relationship. All by choosing to just be ourselves. Humanity has come so far in some areas, but not far at all in what is truly important.

What is so beautiful about the true friendship that Sara and Jonathan here describe is that by holding us in absolute equality it actually opens us up to a far deeper connection. This in exact contrast to the common notion that one connects most deeply to our "best" friends (i.e. the ones that love us above others). But actually this inequality holds so much of us back and fosters the separation that we all crave to live without. Serge doesn't have 'best' friends. And through witnessing this, I have been able to experience the depth of love in my heart with which I can love all equally. I am not there yet, but the more I open myself to the all, the more love I am. And it seems to be a bottomless well.

Actually I'm realizing that as we change the way we selectively love or like only some people, and become loving towards everyone, our definition of 'friendship' will change.

By observing the way that he lives and works with the people in his life, Serge has shown to me how it is possible to remain simply as the person you are, which means not changing to suit another or a situation, but staying consistent in my approach. This takes work and dedication, because the choice is always there to make situations more familiar for everyone. But the feeling afterwards is not always so pleasant as what was a moment of perhaps a familiar and maybe comfortable exchange actually ends up feeling like a moment lost as I realise that I could have brought so much more, like the depths of understanding that I have and an ability to speak the truth based on what is in front of me and not a preconceived idea. Observing, knowing, and experiencing this in life has also taught me that every single person has equally the ability or power to remain constant and true.

What has been shared here can seem unbelievable, that such a man can love everyone equally from his wife to his friend, to a person in the shop. But this is absolutely true and actually a very natural way to be if we make it about love. I know from my own experience in my connection with Serge and observations with him and his interactions with others, whether it be on stage or in a small group or one to one…Serge is a very transparent man. Serge is showing a way that we can love all, be open with each person we meet or are with, in this loving way of being, the qualities of true friendship develop. Serge has shown another way that I am now too developing and it brings such a joy to life with others, and a depth in connection and it brings out the best in us….this way was inspired by Serge Benhayon and now many are starting to live this way and what this brings to humanity is enormous and it just could eventually be a way where there will be no more war, conflict and so forth between us…may sound far fetched, but is it…NO! What is far fetched yet happens daily is the violence, competition etc. between each other in our humanity...

"We live in a world where friendship comes loaded with conditions." This in itself Sara says so much, for if this is the case, is it truly friendship - or something else. Serge Benhayon is showing us the Way to see many things on different levels and by bringing equality and responsibility to our relationships, we have the foundation for building true friendships.

"to love one person in true friendship is to hold all people in that equal love." Serge Benhayon isn't just my truest friend, he has shown me how to be a true friend to others. And, as such, the vast majority of my friendships have deepened to a whole new level. Because as Sara has so perfectly encapsulated, Serge inspires us to hold all people in equal love. That is true friendship - inspiring all equally to see that we are all equal.

Having spent much time around Serge Benhayon, I have to say that I wholeheartedly agree with the above testimonial. I have learned too, through years of observation that the way in which Serge conducts his life - holding all equally in love is indeed the most amazing and profound, yet simple way to live life. It is simple because it is actually the way we are born, and most naturally know how to live life. It has been the most amazing experience re-learning this way to live, and my relationships with all have been transformed as a result.

I shall forever be grateful to Serge Benhayon for showing me the power of remaining open to others and the world, even when it is not. So often we guard our love, always calibrating how much we are prepared to offer another based on what is in it for us, or on how much risk there is of getting hurt. Humanity could learn much from studying the way this man lives, for he has shown that there is a way of expressing love in every action of every day in a way that is both profound, and yet exceedingly simple to live.

And, no matter where I am 'at' in myself, every single time I connect with Serge Benhayon, I know that there is more – by the way he is and lives, I know there is 'more' to me, and more to all of us than we can yet fully conceive of living, yet somehow, it's there. In knowing Serge Benhayon, there is no denying the Greatness of the Love within every single one of us – yes "profound, and yet exceedingly simple to live" it does feel to be, should we give ourselves the chance to be so inspired and let go the complications we have woven for ourselves.

How can you compartmentalise what Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine does and reduce it to the activity of just a man and his business when he is even revolutionising friendship and what it can be? When someone is truly free, everything that comes into their sphere can be seen in the potential of its fullness or, it is shown to be untenable and incongruent with the love it is met with. This is friendship for the 21st century. Friendship seen beyond the reductionist ideals and beliefs that we have bound it with.

Great Point - it is impossible to compartmentalise someone who holds everyone as equal, where do the compartments sit and divide what is whole and all encompassing?

To know such a man, who I have observed for many years, in many aspects of his life also, has been a life-changing experience, opening me to greater possibilities and potentials within myself as to how I myself can truly love, and do so without reservation or prejudice.

There's so much love for this man written here and on many other blogs, that I can understand if someone who has yet to meet Serge might think everyone is talking about a 'Master'', like someone you might have bowed down to in the past Sara. But, it's absolutely not like that. What Serge reflects back to me is simply that I too can live life free of drama and anxiety and free from comparison between everyone and myself. He represents himself, just as he is, with literally no bells and no whistles. There is such an openess about him, that you can not help but feel comfortable in your skin in his presence.

It will be so amazing when we as a humanity start to get friendship 'right'. It's always been important to me, developing a foundation of friendship based on honesty, trust , equality, care and communication with other people. And yet in contrast a lot of friendships I can see are kind of 'collusions' where friends justify their worst behaviour by supporting each other in self-abuse and the abuse of others. It seems that one person by themselves would have a hard time justifying it and might not have the 'courage' to do it alone, because in truth it is foreign to our nature. But when you can get several buddies on-side to do the same thing, suddenly the courage is there and each person is then able to express harm that they would not have been able to do alone. The extreme of that is pack behaviour, like raping, killing, stealing, assaulting people in various ways, drug abuse, binge alcohol drinking, torturing animals, gang wars, etc. The antidote to this is the way Serge Benhayon does friendship: the "all-encompassing… equalness…. expressing the same degree of loving attention and openness…", as Sara puts it here.

There is an awful lot of reservations that come with friendships. My personal understanding is that we can very easily bring our ideals and beliefs into them before they have even started. We enter friendships protected and with needs we want out of it. Serge Benhayon has shared with so many of us that there can be equality in every relationship we have, and this will only support them to be true. Though that was very far for how I had set p a lot of my relationships, I have had the opportunity to make changes to bring more truth to them, as we all do at every moment.

But it also causes immense damage in subtler areas. Any kind of pack behaviour or any friendship that in any way coerces or enables someone to live in a way that is not their true self, can never be called a friendship. Yet this is exactly what 99% of the world's friendships are doing. The absolutely perfect set-up to enable us all to avoid the erroneous choices that we have made and are continuing to make. Friendships (and families) are breeding pits for bacteria of irresponsibility.

Friendship is quiet amazing with Serge as we all feel so special and close to him and as you read the testimonials we all share the same personal experience of him. How does one man achieve this with hundreds of people all at the same time. My answer is through true commitment and love. The love he shares equally with all.

I agree that Serge is both humble and assured at the same time. That's quite an unusual combo in a person. But it just reflects the fact that he operates with everyone as an equal, hence the humbleness, and comes with a remarkable lived consistency of truth and love that confirms to him in every moment who he is - hence his assuredness. I am always, always struck by this consistency when I observe him, hear him or talk to him. He's a truly unique man.

In the 6 or so years I have observed Serge Benhayon I would also agree that the simple honesty, integrity and limitless energy he has for so many is truly unique. It has inspired me in the same way it has hundreds of others. We’re capable of so much in our relationships. We have access to unlimited wells of care, dedication, respect and love to share every single human being if we are just prepared to live in a way that allows this natural state of being. Segre Benhayon has proven this to me in the way he lives and shares what he has with everyone around him.

I have just completed a 3 day workshop with this amazing but extraordinarily ordinary man. I have observed him over these few days and Sara is so right. Serge Benhayon gives everyone he meets and talks to the same quality of connection and love and he knew most of the 300 people at the workshop by name. He pays attention to detail! He is fully committed to humanity and sharing all that he knows. There is no imposition of ideas but what is communicated can be lived by us or not. It is our choice.

Meeting Serge Benhayon has been the most influential experience in my life, the strength,love and equality felt when I first met him touched me so deeply as I felt met for the first time ever. My relationships have improved dramatically as I have been inspired to bring those qualities with everyone I interact with . And for that I am deeply grateful for.

Although I have studied with Serge Benhayon over nine years now I have not been one to seek a personal relationship or friendship with him, yet the true testament that speaks of Serge's genuine love and care for humanity is that whenever I have sought advice or support in service of others, he has been right there offering that support and I have felt through my genuine intent, a brotherly love and respect as if we had know each other for lifetimes.

True friendship lived by Serge Benhayon and so eloquently expressed here clearly exposes the falseness of the expected exclusivity that is the accepted norm in a friendship. What you share here Sara, and demonstrated by Serge, is that true friendship is completely inclusive and in doing so is so much more than what we normally accept.

Not a pipe dream in any way but a real possibility and indeed the future as inspired by Serge Benhayon.

Serge Benhayon heals the broken trust of people with his absolute consistency... and what a wound broken trust is for so many of us. The changeability we experience in other people from the time we are young makes us ever vigilant and on-guard. A shift of mood or circumstance and that once lovely person is no longer so lovely. But here is the flip side. We too become changeable as life wears away at us. Moody, unpredictable and inconsistent ways creep in, and we loose trust in ourselves.
Such is the friend Serge Benhayon, his consistency allows us to settle knowing that whatever happens, he will always have the same love for us, without question. And he is the inspiration for us to live that same quality of consistent love so that the trust we have in him we develop in ourselves.

I reflect on the year 2012, the year in which Serge was attacked by a number of Australian journalists who printed lie after lie about him, having claimed that they would give him a fair hearing. He was then subjected to a cyber bullying campaign hosted by anonymous trolls. They made the most grotesque, false allegations.
Serge's behaviour did not change. He was still the dearest friend, still open to everyone, and never once to be seen in a bad mood. How any of us could hold such composure, such love and such openness towards all people in the face of such a relentless attack?
This man is my role model. He amazes me in the most beautiful way, yet never do I feel less than him.

In my job as a TV Director I have to choose a crew to work with for each job that I do. These choices are normally made over a cup of tea in the gentle and tranquil environs of some nice office or cafe....a million miles away from the intense pressures that can occur when something is going wrong whilst in full filming mode. Many times I have seen very different sides to people when the 'temperature' has increased. And this is just some irrelevant TV show or something. What Serge Benhayon has dealt with is extreme, abusive, disgusting and repeated attacks on his whole livelihood, his family, his security...the whole package....extreme intensity that very few of us can comprehend. Yet - as you say, never once has his composure, commitment, love and dedication ever faltered. He is a lifetime member of all of my crews!

Sometimes I feel a genuine equality with Serge Benhayon. Not that I am like him, or have the same skills or purpose, but that the quality he lives by is equally available to me, and wherever we each are on our own evolutionary journeys does not detract from the fact that we are essentially equal. This is a rare and unique quality to find a person, especially by someone with so much authority.

Imagine how many articles exist on the internet on friendship and equality. Yet as you say Sara, meeting Serge is remarkable, because you can feel this equality is not just words but something he lives. Just observing him for an hour or two at a workshop and you will see his openness and warmth is not divided out in equal portions, the time he spends with people is not the same, but the absolute quality of care he brings is always consistent. This consistency is what he brings to life. This is today what I understand the basis of beautiful friendships to be, so thank you Serge for being a great friend to me.

And it is the same with our immediate family - whom we treat preferentially to others even though they too are, in truth, all part of our family. This is a massive, massive notion for most to accept. And the very fact that Serge Benhayon treats every single person he has ever met with exactly the same love and care and purpose with which he treats his direct family (and I have both experienced and witnessed this countless times so can lay absolute claim to this fact) is a gigantically powerful illustration of the game-changing, world leader that he is.

As you say, Sara, we often have expectations of our friends, of something they will give us in return, but that is not the case with Serge Benhayon. His love is given to all of us equally and with no attachments. We are free to choose to accept or walk away, and the love is always there - deep, constant and always evolving.

I have always been some one who wants to see the proof, to know that something is the real deal, I would watch and take my time to commit to something or some one, I was pretty judgmental and not very trusting..this was a reaction that stemmed from wanting to protect myself and perceiving that there are a lot fakes out there in the world, perhaps using the 'right words but not living what they speak "Serge presented that this quality he lived from and with, was within each of us equally, not something someone would deliver to us, or something unattainable we must worship in another – he spoke of God within us all." Hearing Serge Benhayon speak of the connection that is possible to build from within was a life changer, I felt I woke up from a deep sleep and became aware that I had responsibility here and that looking out was not going to get me anywhere, that was a waiting game. As I have developed a relationship from within with myself, with God, I feel I discern and perceive the world in new ways. I am able to feel the quality that I live in and it is not something that anyone else can tell me to do. It is deeply empowering to feel that I can choose this for myself and interestingly through this reconnection my trust for myself and others has developed and my judgement of others has greatly reduced. I have been able to let go of the protection and live with a more open heart.

'True friendship, a relationship that is always and never not all-encompassing of every person he meets, equally so'
This is not the definition of relationship that is held by most, where friendship is all about self and me, me, me, not about having an equally loving with all. Most us us love 'our own' and that's about all, we don't consider that the love for our children is needed for all children, or parents loved as our parents and so on. All are our own, equally worthy of love.

'We live in a world where friendship comes loaded with conditions. Even a universally accepted quality like loyalty in friendship comes with the expectation of exclusivity, the anticipation that ‘you will do right by me no matter what’, even if it means doing wrong by another.' This view is endemic in society, in addition to the expectations of how and what the friendship will look like, what shape it takes, and when the picture doesn't fit with what we want, we react and demand that it should. Pictures are just not real, they are like teasers, or a carrot at the end of a stick to entice us to behave a certain way if we get our reward, they knock us sideways. Where as a friendship that is based on love, has no pictures and no expectations, this is the friendship that is enduring and it has no demands and no should's. It simply is.

I was thinking about this earlier today after reflecting on work I do with young people. Yes we can treat people equally and this is a great thing to do but can we treat them equally and individually? That extra effort to really meet and connect with a person for who they are. Serge Benhayon does this with every single person, it is astonishing really, and he does it with such care, love and sincerity saying one word or line that might mean nothing to a group of people but everything to one person within the group. Pondering again Serge Benhayon would never express anything that was meaningless to another. Every word has a purpose to support others to go deeper and evolve more.

It is very rare in my life experience to meet anyone who is able to bring 'equalness to all'. Serge Benhayon is one such man. We are so used to being someones special person, or, being special to no one, but both options mean that people are getting left out and left un-heard and ignored. Such feelings of rejection come from not being met in such a way, it's like having someone say 'I'm special you are not, I am worthy you are not.' Where as bringing equalness to all is bring love equally to all, and meeting everyone, so we are all special and all met equally. It's like having water after being in the desert for lifetimes.

Indeed much can be learned from Serge Benhayon about real friendships instead of the conditional ones where what you say depends on the kind of person you have before you. Weighing every word not to confront, let down, upset or make angry. Many of us suffer from the fear of rejection and the need to belong and receive confirmation that we are doing well, that we are worth wile. We like to keep each other in comfort and relate to each others misery. Inspired by the teachings of Serge Benhayon I have experienced what it is like to have a friendship based on truth and have felt the depth of love that is involved there. There is no greater way to offer support than from living and breathing truth and expressing this.

I always had this sense of what was coming to me in life was having no true in it. The way the teachings was at school. How the teachers where behaving towards he children, how my father could share about the 'only" right religion, the way children where doing bad to each other. All I noticed, I felt lost in this world. I met many people who was very populair with big groups of people about how they saw life. I never felt a true joy being there. When I met Serge Benhayon I was just still and wanted to hear every single word and felt all resonating in me. Finally I knew that my confusion about life made sense. So I was not wrong or strange. It is more that the world became very strange. Serge shows us all with his livingness how it is about love and nothing else. To feel that existing on earth was my biggest present in life. From there on I started to built a deep trust in me and all I felt and stay in my power of what I feel even there are hundreds of people around me with a different view. Serge your contribution into my life is way more then I know how to expres yet in words. You showed me heaven again and the way to get back to the beauty in me, you showed me the way out of a life full which was so black but not knowing how to get out of it. You show us the way with your intens beautiful loving eyes, emanating love through your body, your amazing supportive family. Thank you Serge.

In my observations of Serge Benhayon, I have seen someone who is not willing to accept abuse as a part of life. Therefore he does not accept it in his relationships with all people, including the one he has with himself. This has in turn revealed to me just how much abuse there is between people, how much we are all willing to accept, because never before had I seen so much love, this love gave me a new marker for what is acceptable and what is not. Not that this is a rule as such, but simply seeing that abuse itself in any form is unacceptable because it denies the love that we do actually have for ourselves and for eachother.

We so often can seek relationships for the rewards that they can bring to us, as a kind of filler for what we may feel we are lacking. Serge Benhayon has introduced that through the quality of our relationships we are actually able to heal a great many hurts. Simply by letting people see the amazing person that you are, without reservation or fear of rejection, there can be so much love between people - it just takes one person to start, to make the choice to be love and everyone gets to breath again because we finally have what we always wanted.

"everyone gets to breath again"....this is a great expression Shami. It absolutely encapsulates how I have felt through meeting Serge Benhayon. And also perfectly encapsulates the first thing that I notice (my breath being affected) when I ever make a choice that turns me a way from that love. You have a wonderful way of writing Shami. Simplicity with power.

Over the years since I first met Serge Benhayon there have been many aspects of the way he lives that have truly inspired me, but one in particular stands out as I again read your heart felt testimonial to Serge, Sara. This has come from observing him meeting and interacting with hundreds of people from all walks of life, and within those interactions I could see that he was “bringing the same level of loving expression to every relationship he encountered”. This was something I had rarely ever seen and I could feel the immense potential to change the way we live in this world if everyone brought this same level of love, consistency and equality to every interaction, to every relationship and to everyone they meet, even if for a brief moment in time.

I have known Serge Benhayon for many years and how he lives has become familiar, an expected norm and one that deeply inspires and is close to my heart. So reading the definition of the term ‘loyalty’ which is a quality we tend to hold high on our list of virtue is quite shocking "The anticipation that ‘you will do right by me no matter what’, even if it means doing wrong by another".
Right from the beginning I observed how with Serge Benhayon every aspect of life was approached with an unwavering commitment to ensure everyone is taken care of and no one is left out or left less. And everyone meant not just his family, friends or clients,it meant every single person on the planet! At times when I felt the enormity of the responsibility lived just as a matter of course, I was moved to tears. Thanks to the inspiration provided by the consistency lived by this deeply loving man, my life as well as that of thousands are others has turned round to reflect similar level of love and commitment.

Thank you Sara for highlighting this very rare trait in Serge Benhayon of exemplifying in all aspects of his life what he presents on stage. This is no mean feat as what he presents is remarkable in itself, albeit it simple to summarise as the living of love. Love is used in so many contexts but when it is lived all the time, you get the true meaning of the word in action, that it is never switched off and totally honoured in all equally including oneself.

Sara my observation has been the same over the several years, Serge Benhayon is the same loving man with everyone. As you watch and observe his living communication is the same with his family of some he has met. If makes everyone feel at ease, when I met him for the first time, I could feel the love he was sharing with everyone, that just brought tears of joy to my eyes. Then the first hug I received from Serge was just a confirmation of what I felt. He is one extra ordinary Jan living a practical life and sharing it lovingly with everyone.

Serge truly shows how we can live lovingly in every single moment with every single person, he also shows how easy it is when we get ourselves out of the way and make life about people and true evolution together. He is an incredibly beautifull gentle man.

Serge Benhayon is an inspiring presenter and there is a great sense of truth when we hear him speak simply because he lives what he presents. There is no distance between us and by that I mean that he does not put himself above us in any way, only physically on a stage to make it easier to communicate. Off stage he is the same - available and open to all. He lives as one of us, not in any special separated way, he is with us, walking beside us, talking with us, responding to emails, writing extraordinary books that are evolutionary. He is indeed a true friend.

'' This is what I felt the very first sentence I heard Serge Benhayon speak on stage, it was nothing short of a miracle, as not even the word God was used, I felt God all of a sudden all of the time - the Living Way He Spoke was the testimonial that he was living in connection with God. Something I had missed for so long. No preaching - just simple living the truth.

Thank you Sara, I am too deeply inspired by Serge Benhayon.. Even though my whole life I would avoid being bond to leaders at all cost , there was something within this lead that felt real, pure and truth. Which made me not run away, but instead stayed and observed. The longer I observed the more I discovered that this lead was actually brotherhood. This lead was simply one of divine purpose, on for humanity, one of truth. It was a simple re-connection that reminded me of all eons before us. By seeing Serge Benhayon present , I discovered that I got this "leadingb" thing all wrong.. And that it is not exclusive in any way - but truly bonding. This is the power of true leadership - it connects us

' - it is a quality that inspires absolute trust and turns the current way we view relationships on their head. Love has no measures it is simply a quality that we either live or do not and Serge Benhayon is revealing this truth so beautifully to so many.

And in this way I have learned that by holding others to randsom because they are for instance less open, is pure an evil game and has nothing to do with love. And so overtime I sense there is an exclusion in my way of loving others, I go back to the same love that Serge Benhayon is living and I find back again - that there is no such thing as exclusiveness of who to love - everyone is lovable also when someone is not opening their hearts at the same time!

Sara, you describe so clearly and simply the qualities of what true relationship is and how that is very apparent in Serge Benhayon - who is a true friend, one who is loving of you while also loving the all. This is not common and to have someone who consistently presents this to everyone he meets is remarkable not because we are humans are not capable of it, but because few of us live with the loving consistency and dedication Serge applies in his life to ensure that he can be this with everyone, and he is. And he presents that we are all equally capable of loving and being true friends in this way, that he is not special and he supports many to reconnect to and live life in a way that encompasses all. He is a true inspiration of how we can all be as human beings.

Serge Benhayon has definitely rewritten the book on relationships by his consistent loving way. We take for granted the commonly held expectations of friendships and family, the exclusivity, putting up with forms of abuse etc until we see clearly that it does not need to be this way. Being treated with absolute love and equalness feels so natural and reminds us that this is the way we naturally can be and treat others.

The observation you committed to Sara is a powerful thing. We are not hooked into any jargon, dogma or hypnotic way of being or reasoning. We are left to our senses, to our knowing, left in a space of awareness and sifting through our own responses and reactions, to come up with an understanding about what is presented. It is a great testament to Serge Benhayon to state that not only does he suggest observation is applied to all he presents but by the way he presents, without any hooks or strings, he demands it.

Sara - I mirror what you share here - that Serge Benhayon has shown me absolute consistency through simply observing how he lives. You speak of the 'public face/private face' - something I know I myself was very good at. But to live in this way is for me now, to be dishonest with myself and others. Serge Benhayon is no different when he presents, when he meets people in person, when he is giving a session or doing his shopping. His quality is stedfast, and something I deeply appreciate as an inspiring reflection.

As you and many others have written Sara, Serge Benhayon is consistency personified, regardless of the background of the individuals involved.

I started to re-connect again more with my own body and started to truth on what I felt even many times others had a different view or opinion about things.

The divide between the 'private' and the 'public' life is prevalent and generally acceptable. Meeting someone who lives completely with no separation shatters so many commonly held beliefs of what is generally accepted behaviour even though in truth it is abusive.

Even a universally accepted quality like loyalty in friendship comes with the expectation of exclusivity, the anticipation that ‘you will do right by me no matter what’, even if it means doing wrong by another. This is not the way of Serge Benhayon, who defies all current perceptions of friendship and instead lives true friendship, a relationship that is always and never not all-encompassing of every person he meets, equally so."

Not only that, he has raised his whole family to offer the same judgement free, deeply loving holding of all in love. It is exquisite to be met by such love, for the absence of judgement allows us such a learning and inspiration that we can learn how to hold others in such love. Exquisite.

Many ideals and beliefs have been from the inside been broken , simply by choosing to feel truth and let the rest go. If we walk in old patterns and behaviors thwt do bo longer suit us - we heal and truly evolve in our lives. I am just observing, taking stock and learning and taking in all I need to do.

Thank you Sara Williams for this profound letter of appreciation for Serge Benhayon and friendship. From my own experience of meeting Serge, I can totally agree with every word you have written. I have never met anyone who holds everyone in equal love as he does.
"Friendship with Serge Benhayon is profoundly loving and most significantly, inspires the understanding that to love one person in true friendship is to hold all people in that equal love".

A heartfelt testimony indeed and I know too from experience and from what I have observed regarding Serge Benhayon everything you have shared to be true. He is, as others have shared, an extraordinary ordinary man! Showing all there is another and far more loving way to live. After reading this 'This is not the way of Serge Benhayon, who defies all current perceptions of friendship and instead lives true friendship, a relationship that is always and never not all-encompassing of every person he meets, equally so.' I got to appreciate even more just how Serge Benhayon is with every single person he meets, that he has the same love for all and also it is not just about that one or few people he is but how he responds, interacts, relates is holding and all-encompassing of humanity. This is quite something. This is true love.

Serge Benhayon 'lives true friendship, a relationship that is always and never not all-encompassing of every person he meets, equally so.' Serge Benhayon does defies all current perceptions in so many ways. He has re-written the book on friendship, understanding, and equalness, showing just how much love one man can live love from day to day. He is a model of inspiration in the small things as well as the big things about life. There is no detail left out because he understands how his every action supports the all or drops the all. The vastness of living with this understanding always leaving me feel that yes, I can do that too. For he always states there is nothing he does that we cannot do, this equality is pure gold.

Unlike all other teachers, teachings or schools of thought I have encountered which presented a way to be that required taking on-board, to follow, ideals and beliefs that were presented, Serge Benhayon, "Most inspiringly, Serge presented that this quality he lived from and with, was within each of us equally, not something someone would deliver to us, or something unattainable we must worship in another – he spoke of God within us all."

What you have described is more rare and amazing than it may at first seem - to have a friendship with someone where you are loved and respected equally to all others. We live in a world where exclusivity, loyalty and emotional love are seen as the pinnacles of an amazing relationship, where ticking one or two of those boxes constitutes a strong and healthy friendship or relationship. But Serge blows out of the water all those seemingly 'good' qualities we seek and use to express love. What Serge shows people simply in the way he is in his life, is that true love, expressed without emotion and shared with all equally is how to have unmeasurably deep and meaningful relationships, unshackled by the pictures of how it should look.

We can become so imprisoned by our ideas and pictures of friendships - pushing relationships to look and be something they aren't and totally overlooking the beauty that they are already. Serge has taught me so much about what is possible in terms of loving others, openness and responsibility in relationships.

The cultural hierarchies or accepted interactions make life in many ways very comfortable - to know you place in life no matter where you are or who you are with not only is a constant 'anchor' but also a constant point of comparison. So long as everyone has their place in the order of things, there will always be room for comparison higher and lower. What Serge has shown me is that there can be order - there can be respect and even an honouring of others, but it comes first from a foundation of complete equality, and a respect and honouring of yourself and all others no less. I have the deepest respect for Serge as the world teacher and yet, in that I feel no less than him, but am inspired by all that he is to be all that I am equally so.

Your beautiful observations of Serge Benhayon over time and his consistency, transparency and loving quality held in the presence of every other Human Being is my absolute experience also. Serge holds a stillness that is unwavering even when a stone is cast he holds himself and the others in love. Serge has been my first unwavering experience of hearing, seeing and feeling a person speak of things as they are without measuring what is said for fear of retaliation. Serge as in many things but in this case of 'Friendship' offers an amazing truth-full reflection.

For many years I was involved in spiritual healing as I wrote my blog ;' I thought I was a great healer' . Meeting Serge was breaking all the energies where I was involved in. I was very lost and carried a high level of arrogance that I was special to keep myself through life. Deep within I always knew truth, I always knew who is God, I always could feel him. When I met Serge he was not my friend at all as it was very confronting to meet him. Without speaking any words I could feel already so much about me which I did not want to feel before. The fake love I was living in. The conditional relations I had.The not love I was for others even pretending I was very nice to others. There was so little holding of love within me.
The love was just resonating from him. I just could feel from his body an energy which I knew deep within as a truth which I didn't felt around me for so long. I just felt very wake to listen to all he had to say. There was this knowing that he brought true lived wisdom. I could feel that he is a master. After ten years it is still work in progress to let in the love Serge offers the world. Or better to say it is the letting in, to let the love in which I was so much not used anymore to feel,which gives me tears many times. Tears of how long I missed myself. Thank you Serge for being here with us. I could not wish for more. No gold or diamonds or millions will be able to replace that what you bring to me and whole humanity.

Sara, thank your for sharing your experience with Serge here. I can only wholeheartedly agree. Serge has sought e about true friendship by being the most loving, consistent, honest, and open friend I have ever had. He never panders, he does not allow power to be given to him, he always brings you back to yourself and let's you know that you are equal to him. Yet he allows for space and grace for all of us to evolve in our own way and own rhythm.

Observing life not being wrapped up in it, acting not from a rule book but from the quality of truth, these are timeless philosophies for a life well lived. Regardless of whether Serge Benhayon presented these, they are ways of being that stand the tests of time. But the thing is Serge is an amazing role model of what he presents - and this makes him an amazing friend to everyone he meets. If he disregarded everyone who 'wronged' him he would have no-one left. Fortunately for us he intimately understands the truth of light and so holds everybody as a brilliant unique point of light.

To truly be in friendship we wouldn't back a friend no matter what, in respect of the fact if they were doing something harmful or unkind we would tell them, confront this. True friendship can leave us exposed and raw from another, but knowing that what they have exposed, maybe said is for the greater good, that is definitely something Serge Benhayon offers and never has it been so consistently done.

The true friendship you describe Sara starts with us being the greatest and most understanding friend to ourselves. For as Serge Benhayon shows you can't offer another care and understanding if you are harsh with yourself. Because in the end, the simple fact is that we are all one here, so no act of care and appreciation can apply to just someone we prefer, no judgement or critique can be reserved for the person we react to, everyone gets everything. The more we accept and understand this energetic fact the more truly Loving we will choose to be, with everyone equally.

"...to love one person in true friendship is to hold all people in that equal love." It has taken several years of observing Serge Benhayon, who consistently reflects and lives true relationship with all he meets, to begin to let go of the belief that some people in life are more special to me than others. Interestingly it is the deepening of my relationship with myself which is opening me up to the massive Love I feel for all of humanity and then, crucially (and something I am only truly beginning to allow) let it back in again as it returns from others.

Your line gave me a pause to reflect upon how often a relationship with God or religion may require a change to the way we live, such as in the case with monks, nuns, priests and ascetics, but what Serge is showing is that the kingdom of God is within and that can be lived in all aspects of normal life. And it's a simple reconnection to the inner heart to live connected to God again, no complicated practices are needed.

Beautiful testimony Danna. Serge Benhayon reflects to us what life is really about, and that has landed with me as well. Big time. We are here to clean up the mess this planet is, and to really see how it is we have to see the energy behind all of it. Than we see the real ugliness, that is so much worse than ugliness we see with our eyes, which is pretty intense itself already. In the meantime, while doing that we don't give ourselves away, become martyrs, or get involved in old school charity (with all its corruption), our lives can become very beautiful because we connect to our own beauty and start living from that connection outwardly. Serge serves in being a source of inspiration in all of that. Paying it forward.

Observing him on stage he looks like an ordinary man however what comes out of him is profound simple wisdom with real life examples that make simple sense. It is really felt in the body and how clearer you feel when the course or workshop completes. Leaving the premises feels like you are a different person with a refreshing new deeper truer perspective on life and with yourself. You can begin to make changes about your life from the moment you step at the door. Depending on your momentum before and your level of responsibility you want to take with you will determine how much of the course or workshop you want to live.

There is never telling anyone what to do.

The consistency of Serge Benhayon is indeed remarkable. You would ask: how is he able to able to be so consistent in every part of his life to everybody. The reason is his strong purpose, being the role model to change the big mess on this planet. To change this mess, and make this planet about love once again, starts with people living the love that they are, living their true potential every single day. Not by going for the big systems on this planet that obviously don't work. And if we see one person doing that, consistently we know it can be done. In that way he builds trust in every one of us, by serving as that role model humanity so desperately needs.

He is totally transparent.

I agree, Serge is consistent and steady, I have learnt alot from being in his presence and watching these qualities he lives whether he is presenting, at the clinic, or walking down the street.

Hard to grasp that Serge Benhayon also holds me in his friendship. I judge myself not living the full of me like the way I could, not wanting to show my doubts, my hardened body, my feelings of pain etc, thinking that I have to be a perfect student to be worthy of his friendship. I don't have to do any of that, he is just my friend unconditionally. Like he is to anybody who wants his friendship.

'to love one person in true friendship is to hold all people in that equal love.' To live this consistently which Serge Benhayon does, in a world that lives and act out the complete opposite is extra ordinary especially when you feel and see how humble Serge is and at the same time he comes with the authority of presenting the ageless wisdom that is in us all.

Until I met Serge Benhayon I too lived in the belief that I have to be one way with a certain person, this way with another etc. But he has proven that you can remain the same consistent person, consistently loving, with everyone we meet. Which starts with being devoted to being loving with ourselves.

I can relate in what you shared here Leigh. Once I came accross Universal Medicine I felt more empowered than ever before to realize that I'm everything that I need in my life. This doesn't mean become closed to people but the opposite. The more open and loving I am with myself, the more I can bring the same qualities being with others. My relationships are significantly more rich and truthful now.

One of the things that most inspires me about Serge Benhayon is his humbleness. There is not a ounce of pride or arrogance in how he presents. He doesn't perform under any pose of guru or illuminated. I see him as a teacher and at the same time as a student of life, just like all of us. As we evolve together he does too, what he shares is the Livingness that we all can have access. That's why I love him.

It is very freeing feeling this sense of dettachment with others but at the same time the equal connection. This fact confirms that we all are part of the same family, a big one called Humanity.

'...the sense of homecoming I felt within when Serge spoke.' It is this sense that lovingly invited to come back to me, to my body from the very first time I attended a presentation from Serge Benhayon. I felt deeply inspired to live my way trusting and allowing myself to express what I felt within. I was reminded that my true home is in me, the best gift that I could ever had. Thanks Sarah for sharing your experience that feels very close to me.

I love when Serge talks about 'one life' . He means there that life is to be in the same quality in all the different areas of your life, as work, family life, with partner etc. To work on that, to bring me to all the places without conditions is true evolution in my life for all.

To be able to be consistently ourselves can be a challenge in this world but Serge Benhayon is inspiring many, many people to understand how this is possible in very real and practical ways. There is no mystery to how he lives, he openly shares his wisdom and love with everyone he meets and you can feel that life is indeed deeply joyful when you observe how he lives.

There is so much that Serge Benhayon brings to so many, these comments give a glimpse of what he brings, I look forward to some books being written on the amazingness of Serge Benhayon and what he brings for all of humanity.

What an amazing testament to Serge Benhayon, I have never met anyone that actually lives what they say all the time apart from Serge as you share.

'This is not the way of Serge Benhayon, who defies all current perceptions of friendship and instead lives true friendship, a relationship that is always and never not all- encompassing of every person he meets, equally so.' Spot on Sara, Serge Benhayon treats everyone with equal respect and love no matter if there his family member or the shopkeeper, he embraces all of humanity and reflects to us how beautiful and true all our relationships can be.

Serge Benhayon has totally redefined for me what the true meaning of friendship is. He is a great friend to everyone and has inspired me to become a friend to myself and all others too.

Beautiful Sara. I am deeply inspired by how Serge lives as well. To present true love, or true friendship to everybody equally, is indeed quite special in this world, where it should be our normal, as it is our innate quality.
