Serge inspires so that we might equally shine in our own lives, in our own way.

Serge Benhayon inspires us to shine like the precious stone we are

17/7/2017

by Joel Levin

"A prospector is working hard to find the precious stones that will make the years of searching worthwhile. One day he finds a stone with a shine and colour that is exquisite, its value immeasurable. The find has the potential to change life in so many ways that at first he was unsure about having it around. Maybe he was more interested in the thrill of the chase than he was in actually finding what he was looking for. At first, he credited all his good fortune on the stones and felt like his life could never measure up to its luminance. It was not until he began to realise that while the stone represented the life he had always wanted to live, it was still his own choice and responsibility to live his life in that way." ---

This has been my experience of finding Serge Benhayon, a precious gem of immeasurable quality who has a way of living and understanding the world that changes everything. To say everything is not a piece of hyperbole, there is quite literally not an aspect of my life now that is not different – from food, to work, to exercise, to relationships, to how I breathe, everything means everything.

The most interesting thing is that these changes, are not derived from a set of rules delivered by Serge. What he presents is a set of principles, not about how to change everything in life but how to live from the most ultimate point of simplicity and grace, and that is to live in connection to the Soul. From there, the rest is up to you. You either like what you feel, accept what is being offered (by your own Soul not anyone else) or not.

This is indeed one of Serge’s most inspiring attributes, the fact that he is so deeply committed to changing the quagmire that humanity is in but is simultaneously unfazed about how long any one individual takes to making these changes. He has the ultimate respect for an individual's free will. He presents commitment without ideology, discipline without judgment, joy without the need for others to choose the same.

Indeed, the most powerful gift he offers, is the space to develop and appreciate our own equal ability, wisdom, power and responsibility to live and shine like the precious stone we are.

Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal and think that is all that is possible in this world.

Serge shines so that others might equally shine in their own lives, in their own way.

"Commitment without ideology" what a great way to define the qualities Serge shares. And how rare it is to find someone so unaffected by the choices others make, yet so caring at the same time.

Rowena Stewart

29/7/2017 09:12:03 pm

So true Stephen. Serge Benhayon has an immense love and care of every single person standing on the planet but zero investment in our choices or indeed any thing in this world. The truth he lives comes from the vastness of the Universe we live in and he constantly holds this bigger picture as he moves through life. We are so much more that what we perceive our selves and our lives to be in our insular societies.

These words are so powerful and show that without the ideology but commitment shared by Serge Benhayon we are offered the support to live what is true and offer this to another. True brotherhood in reflection.

JennyM

'Commitment with ideology' When an ordinary man is able to live and demonstrate such commitment to helping the quagmire that humanity is in without adding any more ideals and beliefs we have a chance to not sink further.

Jonathan Stewart

Without a doubt Serge Benhayon is the most precious stone anyone can find.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

The most precious gem that never loses its luster, in which you can always see the reflection of the most glorious qualities within yourself. A constant reminder of the preciousness of all of us.

Rowena Stewart

11/9/2017 09:21:29 pm

And such reminders are very much needed in our societies today, as we so readily forget just how precious we all are. Serge Benhayon provides a constant source of inspiration that empowers us to recognise, cherish and express our innate love, virtues and qualities so that we can re-establish these truths in the world today.

Inspiring so many to bring that same quality effortlessly to their lives and others.

Nattalija link

24/12/2017 02:47:50 pm

The honouring of this preciousness is so supported by Serge Benhayon. A part of us all that is often overridden or played down so that we don't have to feel how truly sensitive and loving we can all be when we make life about people and relationships.

Choosing to search for this precious stone has enriched so many lives and is the marker of how our own lives are not shining bright.

Serge Benhayon is a gem that shines a light to reflect the gem within us all.

'Serge shines so that others might equally shine in their own lives, in their own way.' Serge is like a torch bearer. He offers the highest inspiration that ignites the inner spark of those who see that they can also make a difference if they choose it so...to make a difference in their own way through their own expression, thereby igniting the spark in others.

Michelle Mcwaters

Love this Rachel. Yes Serge Benhayon has an inner absoluteness. He knows with everything he is what our true purpose is, where we are from and where we are going. He is a torch bearer for all humanity - at the very front of the vanguard - lighting the way for all who choose to see the light of the torch; inspiring them to travel, keeping it held high and steady, never wavering, always bright, always on, always illuminating the darkness so that we may see our choices and be reminded that there is something else, something that is greater and that that something is something we already know because otherwise we would not be inspired towards it. True inspiration.

Aimee Edmonds

16/7/2017 09:06:08 pm

A gem expressing about another gem, super gorgeous to read Joel. I constantly learn from how Serge holds every person with absolute love, respect and honours where they are at with no judgement what so ever.

Nattaliya link

7/3/2018 04:50:41 am

This is the core of what he brings in a world that is currently driven by the 'me motto' and with limited consideration to understand one another and the choices we make.

Rowena Stewart

16/7/2017 09:33:32 pm

So succinctly put Joel. Serge Benhayon is a master of presentation and true compassion, allowing people space to explore for our selves what is presented, to rub the coal dust off and see that we too are immensely precious gems worth taking deep care of ourselves. Serge is a precious treasure and thanks to his life changing presentations and workshops I now know that all of us are precious treasures too.

Ariana Ray

16/7/2017 09:38:57 pm

Joel you are a master parable teller and have so inspired me when you write 'Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal and think that is all that is possible in this world.' To be willing to shine is clearly so super-important, which means letting go of all that holds us small and less, when we are not small or less but part of the stupendous love that is available to all.

Caroline Francis

20/7/2017 04:41:48 am

I agree Ariana, I was deeply touched reading Joel's testimony. I have lived most of my life in contraction but to meet Serge Benhayon's reflection shining in all his glory has inspired me and many, many others to do the same. To feel in my body and begin to claim that it is possible to live the love I am is a miracle as I continue to unfold and let go of all that which is not truth so that the precious, exquisite gem that has always been there inside me deeply hidden at times shines brightly once again.

Michelle Mcwaters

29/7/2017 11:08:13 pm

Yes Ariana. In the willingness to be who we are and to shine there needs to be a letting go of all that caps us from being this in the awareness that the stupendous love is there always to surrender to.

Nattalija link

25/5/2018 05:20:55 pm

There are many caps we wear in order to not be who we are. Serge Benhayon so lovingly supports that the true is only lived when we are willing to remove what we all know deep down inside does not serve the ALL.

Nattaliya link

17/3/2018 06:49:48 pm

A reminder that the shining bright is offered instantly and constantly by Serge Benhayon and his teachings remind us all that it lies within us all.

Andrew Mooney

16/7/2017 09:39:09 pm

I agree Joel that meeting Serge Benhayon was an absolute life changing event for me also, because the way he lived showed me what it was like to live with your soul and this inspired me to do begin to do the same.

James Nicholson

16/7/2017 09:51:07 pm

I could not agree with you more Joel. The space which Serge holds us in absolute love. He is effectively saying I love you no matter what choices you make as ultimately you are love so sooner or later you will come back to the love. The space this allows without an imposition or need is what I now know true love to be because it does not ask you to be anything rather holds you in the love you are.

Michael Goodhart

25/2/2018 08:11:03 am

This is an excellent point James about the true definition of love, and a lesson for me on a personal level as there are times when I feel amazing but I may tend to avoid someone else (including my partner, unfortunately) who I feel may not be honouring of that or may be in an emotionally charged space and I have contracted myself to calibrate down and not stand out. But this is a huge disservice to both of us, as in that moment the other person could really use that 'diamond' to shine and offer them another way as Serge Benhayon has done like no other in recent history.

Nattalija link

25/5/2018 05:34:58 pm

Being raised in a religion where choices came with fear it took some time to let go of the notion that love has not control but an endless source of support and an opportunity to return to our innate essence that Serge Benhayon shows through his livingness.

leigh matson

16/7/2017 09:56:21 pm

This is beautiful Joel and in my experience of what you've shared it feels far grander and more empowering of myself when the choice to change comes from me feeling and accepting my Soul. Changing my life without feeling it first or because I think anothers life is better so I try to copy has never been sustainable or successful.

Rowena Stewart

1/8/2017 08:42:00 pm

Very well said Leigh. When we attempt to copy another our attempts are ultimately not sustainable because they are not coming from our inner truth. When we are shown how to connect to our Soul, we are empowered to align to an innate knowing that enables us to steadily evolve our choices, building as we go a strong internal foundation that does not rely on other people's actions or choices, but on our own discernment and experience. We become more of who we inherently are.

David

16/7/2017 10:15:47 pm

Joel the appreciation that you share for Serge is something that I deeply feel, the ripple effect since meeting Serge is greater than I could have imagined and certainly something I don't have a full grasp of yet. As you say "there is quite literally not an aspect of my life now that is not different " for me I wake up everyday with my life changed as a result of the choices I've made since being deeply inspired by Serge.

Mary

23/7/2017 12:39:55 pm

I agree with you David that there is not a speck of my life that has not been changed because I have felt deeply what Serge Benhayon has presented and know it to be of the absolute truth and because of this unwavering truth that he represents and has reflected back to us all equally I can feel the joy returning to my body.

25/9/2017 04:56:14 am

I can also say that I wake up and nothing in my life is the same since knowing serge. He has presented to me a deeper level of understanding that is so powerful. He has opened my eyes to what is so much bigger than the physical and this has brought a deep level of understanding to what happens to the world.

Ingrid Ward

17/7/2017 12:09:32 am

To come, for the first time, to a presentation where Serge Benhayon presented the meaning of life, not with a “set of rules” but with “a set of principles” which I could accept or not, was so far removed from anything I had ever been presented with before. I had searched for so long for the meaning of life and when Serge presented that it began firstly with the relationship and the love that I had with myself I could feel that I had been woken up from a very long sleep and in a place that was so familiar – it felt like home.

Ray Karam link

2/12/2017 11:06:25 am

The ability to be able to 'wake' people to something they already know within them is a blessing for us all. There is a way to move in this world that allows you to see what most are unable to see for themselves even though they hold it within them. Serge Benhayon continues to honour this quality of movement that brings forward all that is known but has been moved into another area of our awareness. When it comes back to you it comes as no surprise but more unravels or unfolds you back to see clearly again. It's refreshing in a world that more dulls your understanding or awareness of what is truly going on around you then supports you to truly see.

Nicola Lessing

17/7/2017 01:10:29 am

It is true Serge is the most precious gem who reflects that we are all equally precious gems. He brings Divinity to Earth and makes it normal.

David

25/7/2017 09:01:33 pm

I completely agree, serge being the most incredible gem that I had met is deeply humble in and loving in all ways including and most importantly the fact that he reflects to me and to all that we are all equally precious gems, equally amazing.

Chris James

17/7/2017 01:20:10 am

Thank you Joel… Just one aspect of what you write about is worthy of so much attention and appreciation and that is, as you say, the innate respect that Serge Benhayon has for everyone’s individual journey… And this is respect and decency at its most relentless… Never changing and always ongoing.

Heather Pope

20/8/2017 10:21:49 am

The gift of knowing you are never judged, there are no expectations on you, and you are always see for the true essence you are is one I shall not for one moment in my life forget. Such is the quality that Serge Benhayon offers.

Eva

17/7/2017 01:27:26 am

A stunning testimony for Serge Benhayon. 'Serge shines so that others might equally shine in their own lives, in their own way.' - How true and how rare, zero push or expectation of others.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

14/8/2017 06:33:12 am

It is so special to be offered a reflection of all that is within you, with no push, no expectation, not an ounce of manipulation - every so tender, loving and steady. It is the unwavering nature this reflection that has offered me the greatest opportunity to regain my trust that yes this is possible and true.

The steadiness and the love with which we shine has a far greater impact than perhaps we are able to ever know.

Katerina Nikolaidis

17/7/2017 01:43:00 am

And I have never come across anyone who wants you to shine and keep on shining all that you are, like Serge Benhayon. His love for people, his love for what is within every person is astounding.

Lieke Campbell

17/7/2017 01:45:45 am

It is really a very beautiful quality - to be able to allow everyone to choose for themselves and it is something Serge Benhayon definitely has mastered.

Leigh Strack

17/7/2017 02:36:55 am

A very true analogy, especially the part that we find the shining bright light, but are not sure we hold the same. Coming to the point where this possibility, that you know is true, becomes a deep seated feeling that can no longer be ignored, so begins the journey of again allowing our very own shinning light to lead our lives.

Beverley Bulmer

17/7/2017 02:37:05 am

I agree with all you share here Joel, my life has had a complete turnaround since first meeting Serge Benhayon. I was searching for a way that made sense and Serge certainly offered this in such a simple way and as you mention, not from a set of rules but from an offering of principles of the truth of how it is - it is then my choice, on how I choose to live.

Rowena Stewart

9/8/2017 09:08:38 pm

The same applies to me Beverley. Serge Benhayon has thrown about the Rule Book and in its place stands the Book of Discernment, which applies to absolutely everything in life including his teachings. In doing so we are freed from the imposition of another person's expectations or beliefs, we are left to just deal with our own and to learn how to feel and discern what is loving, wise, nurturing and expansive for our selves. What I am discovering is that the more we connect to our inner wisdom and discern the quality of life we wish to live, the more we come to know that really we are all facets of the same ginormous diamond.

Jane Keep

17/7/2017 06:10:33 am

I absolutely whole heartedly agree Joel - beautifully said - "This is indeed one of Serge’s most inspiring attributes, the fact that he is so deeply committed to changing the quagmire that humanity is in but is simultaneously unfazed about how long any one individual takes to making these changes" This is an inspiration to me every single day.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

17/7/2017 06:27:31 am

Joel reading your words had me cry – once again – this being a periodic behaviour it seems when I am moved deeply by the absolute reflection of love which Serge Benhayon provides. “he is so deeply committed to changing the quagmire that humanity is in but is simultaneously unfazed about how long any one individual takes to making these changes. He has the ultimate respect for an individual's free will. He presents commitment without ideology, discipline without judgment, joy without the need for others to choose the same.”

Again and again as I get caught in the impatience of wanting a change for the world, for others and even for myself, when I catch the harshness and the push that sneaks in, I witness Serge Benhayon and the grace with which he unwaveringly holds me and everyone and I gain a deeper understanding of what true love actually means.

Joshua Campbell

17/7/2017 08:58:48 am

Your writing is so rich Joel, I cannot but adore it and you in it! The ironic thing about Serge Benhayon is that to many he is just an ordinary man and he certainly is! He could seem to many to live just like any other man would but his expression of joy and love is what makes it all the richness we are inspired to feel and see in him. There is indeed a diamond within us all even if we choose to live life like we are all pieces of coal.

Jonathan Stewart

19/7/2017 09:31:31 pm

So true, Joshua, and Serge reflects and shows the way to us all how to transform from being coal to being a diamond.

Vicky Cooke

17/7/2017 10:40:11 am

'Serge shines so that others might equally shine in their own lives, in their own way.' And gosh how brightly he shines ✨ giving others permission do to the same. I love what you share here Joel, Serge Benhayon is indeed 'a precious gem of immeasurable quality'.

Michael Brown

17/7/2017 11:03:49 am

It is this that Serge holds as his purpose - to present to and inspire us to live in a way that honours who and what we are - A shining Star 🌟

Esther Auf der Maur

17/7/2017 11:39:19 am

What a beautiful analogy Joel. I second everything you share here; Serge Benhayon is and represents clearly what I had been searching for all my life; and so so much more. And as you say Joel, what he presents is never about Serge, but about us all realising we are equal gems; the choice is ours if we live our lives hiding within charcoal or daring to shine as the precious gems we all are, once we choose to connect to that divinity within us all.

17/7/2017 12:21:12 pm

Joel - a beautiful piece of writing with deep appreciation for Serge Benhayon. And I in turn really value what you write here, how you share about the precious stone. You have a way of communicating that is full of simplicity and grace and I can see how this has evolved from the principals presented. As you say - it touches every aspect of life.

Christine Hogan link

17/7/2017 12:22:57 pm

Thank you Joel. Your reflection has also cast a deeper light on the understanding of what Serge Benhayon brings and confirmed that this is an absolute and strong foundation that holds us all as we bring our own way of living light in the world. Serge is truly a man that walks beside another at the pace he/she chooses - all with a deeply holding love.

Rachel Hall

17/7/2017 12:26:44 pm

Serge Benhayon affords us the space and time to consider that there is more to every one of us than meets the eye. By and through his lived way and his teachings/presentations many have been inspired to see beyond this temporal plane and to look within themselves to unlock the wonders of the Universe and the incredible beings that they are

Henrietta Chang

17/7/2017 12:50:34 pm

Thank you Joel for your shining comment - it is the most beautiful gift when someone is there to reflect the beauty of who you are but puts not an ounce of expectation or pressure on you to live it, and not a drop of judgement nor criticism about the choices we make to not live it. Serge Benhayon is a blessing indeed for anyone to encounter and befriend.

Matilda Bathurst link

18/7/2017 09:40:11 am

Yes, Henrietta, I agree. The incredible respect and support of someone who simply offers an inspiring example of how to live and does this with no expectation or judgement about other people's choices. Serge Benhayon is living in a way that is remarkable simply because it is not yet statistically common.

Henrietta Chang

17/7/2017 12:53:33 pm

"Indeed, the most powerful gift he offers, is the space to develop and appreciate our own equal ability, wisdom, power and responsibility to live and shine like the precious stone we are."

'What he presents is a set of principles, not about how to change everything in life but how to live from the most ultimate point of simplicity and grace, and that is to live in connection to the Soul." - such a beautiful and evolutionary way to teach. To present the truth of how things are and allow everyone the space and consideration to choose what they do with that truth.

Jonathan Stewart

18/7/2017 09:02:31 pm

This is true freedom.

Liane Mandalis

17/7/2017 01:17:35 pm

To know the absolute truth about the divine preciousness we each in essence are but to hold no judgement or sway as to whether another accepts and thus lives this quality or not, is in my eyes the ultimate expression of love. It is this quality that Serge Benhayon embodies that inspires me most to surrender my walls of protection and return to a much more full expression of the love that I am and that we all are.

Heather Pope

13/8/2017 12:59:53 pm

Allowing others to choose with no judgement of their choices is I agree an expression of love. To dedicate your life to offering that there is a way of living that is all encompassing of this love, and it is available to anyone, is inspiration personified.

Alison Pearson

17/7/2017 01:23:42 pm

'he is so deeply committed to changing the quagmire that humanity is in' - and he does this through the power of reflection, reminding us how truly precious and magnificent we all already are, through the exquisite quality of his every movement. He inspires us to want to live the divinity of who we are, an equal, essential part of the divine whole.

jeanette macdonald

17/7/2017 05:16:19 pm

Serge Benhayon has simply shone brightly as the gem that he naturally is amongst the coal, and in that shining the rich seam that was always there around him has been exposed. More and more gems lighting up by his reflection as they come to see they are not coal at all but priceless jewels in the fabric of life.

Leah Pash

17/7/2017 07:57:58 pm

Serge Benhayon is the most humble, loving and understanding man I have ever come across. He has helped me heal so much in my life that no doctor, no medicine, no psychologist, or modality I have come across could even touch the surface of. To be reminded of the beauty that I come from, that we all come from is the greatest gem one could ever receive.
Serge has blessed my life and the lives of so so many and will continue to do so with his unwavering commitment to humanity. Thank you Joel for beautifully expressing who Serge Benhayon is.

Stephanie Stevenson

31/8/2017 08:35:19 pm

Yes Leah, I agree with every word you say about Serge Benhayon - so much hidden pain in my own life continues to be exposed and healed since making the choice to attend presentations delivered by this deeply loving, humble man whose commitment to reflecting the truth of how it is possible for all to live is powerful beyond measure. Serge Benhayon is a true gem.

Rowena Stewart

17/7/2017 08:28:11 pm

Serge Benhayon is a mighty gem in this world and stands strong in this knowing with enormous humility, consistently presenting the truth that we are too. He always sees the gems stones inside us and never lets us be anything less than the treasure we are. Our lesson therefore is to connect to our inner treasure and be the same for others, diligently holding strong to our true qualities and perceiving them in others so that we may all return to our truth.

'To say everything is not a piece of hyperbole, there is quite literally not an aspect of my life now that is not different – from food, to work, to exercise, to relationships to how I breathe, everything means everything.' Beautifully expressed Joel. The magnitude of what Serge Benhayon brings inspires all these things and more to a depth and detail that I had never considered before I met him.

Rowena Stewart

11/8/2017 11:54:21 am

So true Michelle, it is the depth and detail that sets Serge Benhayon apart from the myriad of New Age gurus and preachers and brings us back to the simple importance of the quality of our everyday lives. What Serge presents stems from a very genuine inner connection with a wisdom that we all share, so what is offered through his teachings and lived example is not alien to us, just long forgotton.

Ariana Ray

17/7/2017 10:49:07 pm

'Serge Benhayon, a precious gem of immeasurable quality who has a way of living and understanding the world that changes everything.' That has been my experience of Serge - he is a precious gem that has an effect with his every movement that is beyond measure or price.

Lucy Duffy

18/7/2017 12:07:22 am

Serge has no investment in anyone changing their way to live a life of love, responsibility and joy and therefore there is no judgement if we do not. He offers a constant and unwavering reflection which we are free to be inspired by or not. The unimposing space he provides has supported me to feel where I'm at and what it is I feel is the next step for me and my evolution.

Sarah Flenley

18/7/2017 03:33:36 am

"This is indeed one of Serge’s most inspiring attributes, the fact that he is so deeply committed to changing the quagmire that humanity is in but is simultaneously unfazed about how long any one individual takes to making these changes. "

This never ceases to amaze me, and like you I find it not only incredibly inspiring but also freeing to the recipient of and then in turn to offer that to others.

Nico van Haastrecht

18/7/2017 06:22:14 pm

Same to me Sarah, it is so interesting to experience that Serge Benhayon is so commited to show that different way of living to us and that we are so much more but at the same has no time schedule for us to grasp or understand the importance for what he is offering to humanity.

Jane Keep

18/7/2017 08:18:02 am

Serge Benhayon shines no matter what. I have known him for 14 years and he consistently shines so brightly I am forever inspired. I would not miss a moment with Serge. Whenever he is in the UK I attend as many presentations and workshops as I can as every moment is pure gold.

Matilda Bathurst link

18/7/2017 09:36:43 am

Victoria

18/7/2017 12:32:15 pm

Victoria

18/7/2017 12:49:11 pm

Serge lives with an absolute purpose to be and reflect all we are in truth, which is so much greater than we may currently be living.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

18/7/2017 01:10:24 pm

The dedication, absoluteness and tenderness with which Serge leaves no stone unturned in supporting everyone to “equally shine in their own lives, in their own way” blows me away, again and again. Through his unwavering example I am deepening my understanding and appreciation of the absolute gift every one of us can provide each other when we choose to live with and by the light of our Soul.

Shami

18/7/2017 01:13:38 pm

Something to always be appreciated, is how unique each person's expression is. This brings equality and an inclusive nature to life. This makes each person so valuable and worth loving. Serge Benhayon is so skilled at loving people for who they are and for valuing each person's expression, and I always learn so much from him everytime we meet.

Willem Plandsoen

18/7/2017 01:19:50 pm

Beautiful analogy. The whole world is looking for the gems in life, the true things that makes someone happy, outisde of them. Serge Behanyon is showing, by presenting and by being a role model on what he presents, that this gem is actually in us, and in us all.

Sarah Flenley

18/7/2017 01:28:44 pm

I can feel the call of true responsibility in this statement - "Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal and think that is all that is possible in this world." It is up to each and everyone of us to shine as brightly as we can, not only for ourselves, but for each other.

Sylvia Brinkman

18/7/2017 01:33:54 pm

It reminds me an experience a few years ago Joel. I was sitting in my livingroom and became much more aware about my surrounding and at the same moment I felt myself deeply sinking in my own body, in my heart. Then suddenly I could clearly feel God. I could feel the beholding of God. He is everywhere and he holds us in his love no mater what. And he has no ideas how you should be he just has a knowing that you will return to him anyway and there were he is time is not existing so he just holds us in his love for the time we are playing our games. he has no judgements just a beholder of love. And this is what Serge reflects us in physical form. If you let him in your heart you feel he just hold us in his very big heart. No judgements, no push how to be just embracing all in his unconditional love.

Melinda Knights

18/7/2017 05:32:42 pm

This is beautiful Joel, you have captured the truth and gorgeousness of Serge Benhayon from your own angle and highlighted again to me the reasons why so many are so deeply inspired by this beautiful man.

Nico van Haastrecht

18/7/2017 06:13:18 pm

Serge Benhayon does not only inspire but also accept and appreciate you wherever you are in your evolution back to Soul. If you live that diamond in you or hold on to live the coal makes no difference to him as you are held in is love regardless of the choices you make. And that is really special.

Kerstin Salzer

18/7/2017 07:56:03 pm

Serge is following his light I would say 100%. Through his reflection I am understanding more and more how this works in my life

Rowena Stewart

18/7/2017 08:55:22 pm

There is a beautiful unfolding process that takes place with everyone who attends the Universal Medicine events as we begin to realize how to identify, clean and polish the gem within us. The more we do, the more we reflect to each other who we truly are. Serge Benhayon is the master gemstone polisher (if there is such a thing!) who consistently demonstrates the immense worth of cherishing our essence and allowing the immense wisdom within it to be expressed for the evolution of all.

Jonathan Stewart

18/7/2017 08:57:46 pm

"This has been my experience of finding Serge Benhayon, a precious gem of immeasurable quality who has a way of living and understanding the world that changes everything.' This is most definitely not a hyperbole but the truth. Life changes from, ‘the world doing you’ to, ‘you doing the world’. Transformational.

Ariana Ray

18/7/2017 09:28:53 pm

Serge Benhayon certainly does have 'a way of living and understanding the world that changes everything.' It's not because he is special or different, but that he is dedicated to living in a way that supports everyone, not just himself. For him it's everything to live this way for all.

Michelle Mcwaters

18/7/2017 09:53:53 pm

I love the prophetic style of your writing Joel in the the opening paragraph, because it sets the tone for the gem that Serge Benhayon is. When I first met him I could sense there was something there but could only relate to him as someone quite ordinary - to be honest I didn't have a clue as to what was standing in front of me. In my own blockages over awareness, because of the layer upon layer of protection I had built, they made me rather blind to the sparkle that was there. Over time, the more I have listened to his words of wisdom, the more I have observed him walk, talk, move, interrelate with others, not hold back the truth, be humorous, be light, be playful, be firm, be joyful - the more I have begun to see and appreciate the enormous (not a big enough word) light that Serge Benhayon is.

Annelies van Haastrecht

19/7/2017 07:16:02 am

What a beautiful testimonial Joel and indeed everything has changed in my life since finding Serge Benhayon, he who shines so brightly for us all, reflecting to us where we come from and where we return to.

Peta Lehane

19/7/2017 12:26:09 pm

Yes and more yes from me, Joel. All this and more is Serge Benhayon. A true teacher in every sense, he inspires me to reflect the gem stone I am simply by shining himself by his every living way. His dedication to humanity is undoubted, his love beyond measure. He knows that I am equally as magnificent and his patience, understanding and honouring of an individual's process to reclaim that for oneself, is the true support that allows it to unfold so very beautifully. Thank you again, Serge.

Sarah Flenley

19/7/2017 01:58:31 pm

To live a set of principles, and then to teach those principles from your own livingness, is a rare find these days. And for those principles to be presented in such a way that you have a choice whether or not they are for you, allows the space and the grace for you to test and try it out (or ignore it), or come back for me. I am deeply thankful for Serge Benhayon in showing us a new way of living (that is actually not really new at all!).

Joseph Barker

19/7/2017 03:52:32 pm

What Serge Benhayon presents completely counters the lie that it is dangerous or difficult to be bright, powerful and full of joy. He shows it's not only possible but absolutely the way we are designed to be. So why tolerate any longer flying your flag at half-mast when you can shine like a diamond for all to see? Thank you Joel for celebrating the gold Serge brings through and the true preciousness of you and me.

jane keep

2/10/2017 11:22:47 pm

I agree Joseph - Serge is living the future - and the past in that we always were and are diamonds - sparkles, and truly deeply shiny - having a true role model in Serge has been very inspirational in my and many many other peoples lives.

Ariana Ray

19/7/2017 09:18:00 pm

'Serge's love for humanity and the enormity of his contribution to communities far and wide cannot be overlooked or understated.' And all because he lives what he presents and teaches, and lives it without days off or time out. Serge Benhayon IS what he teaches, and that is available for us all - we can choose this too, we just need to live it.

Jonathan Stewart

19/7/2017 09:19:45 pm

Serge Benhayon's loving commitment to humanity is undeniable and his patience in regard to this is not of this world.

Carmel Reid

20/7/2017 12:44:57 am

'He presents commitment without ideology, discipline without judgment, joy without the need for others to choose the same.' This is what is so amazing - he presents all that he is, clearly, over and over, as many times as we need to hear what he is presenting, he shows us how he lives but, as you say, Joel, there is no commitment upon us to do the same, it is purely our choice.

Vicky Geary

20/7/2017 01:18:47 am

I too found the precious stone that you speak of Joel. And it is my choices that truly show me the magnificence of what this stone represents.

Fiona Cochran

16/3/2018 03:24:25 pm

Yes and it's appreciating those choices that builds a solid foundation that cannot be shaken.

Caroline Francis

20/7/2017 04:56:04 am

To offer space is absolute love and when lived there is no hidden agenda, need, attachment, control and insecurity but an understanding, accepting, allowing and knowing that one day we will all return to the love we are.

Fiona Lotherington

20/7/2017 12:46:50 pm

As ever Joel, you have captured so beautifully the essence of your experience with discovering the jewel that is Serge Benhayon and what he represents. It is so rare to find someone so tirelessly committed to supporting people to return to the precious jewels they are but without an ounce of push or rush. There is only a deep love and understanding of why we choose to go down the alternative paths and a knowing that eventually we all met return to the one path back to our essence.

Monica Gillooly

20/7/2017 01:12:17 pm

There is such a freedom in what Serge Benhayon offers and presents; he is absolute in his commitment but there is no pressure or need from him for anyone to in fact, hear, listen or acknowledge what he presents, let alone live it. He presents the truth of how he lives and it's up to you to hear and explore that for you, and to unfold that if you wish in your own life. I've never met anyone like him and through him I get to see and feel that there is another way to live and I have activated that through his inspiration. This is what true support is.

David

20/7/2017 08:33:41 pm

Joel before I met Serge I was a looking for something to make me the person I thought I needed to be, no part of me appreciated or felt that I was not only enough just being me but amazing being me. Through commitment to changing the way I live I now feel what you share here, that Serge has inspired me to shine like the precious stone I am.

Rachel Murtagh

20/7/2017 08:49:10 pm

'...Serge Benhayon, a precious gem of immeasurable quality...' Absolutely, Joel! A precious gem who supports others to see and feel their equal qualities and preciousness also.

Rowena Stewart

20/7/2017 08:52:47 pm

"Maybe he was more interested in the thrill of the chase than he was in actually finding what he was looking for. " What do we do when all our seeking and searching leads us to Serge Benhayon's teachings and the real answers to Life, the Universe and Everything? Are we more intent on the drama of searching than actually applying the wisdoms that graciously restore to us simplicity, commitment and responsibility and a life lived in connection to our Soul, the most precious gem we could ever hope to find.

Doug Valentine

20/7/2017 10:53:13 pm

Well said Joel, yes Serge demonstrates how to live by living it himself, never by instructions. He is the most inspiring man I have ever met and a rock of consistency that one day I would like to match.

Ariana Ray

20/7/2017 11:03:58 pm

Serge Benhayon is the most precious gem on this planet - a gem filled with wisdom and light - totally Divine.

Carmel Reid

20/7/2017 11:09:06 pm

'What he presents is a set of principles, not about how to change everything in life but how to live from the most ultimate point of simplicity and grace, and that is to live in connection to the Soul. From there, the rest is up to you.' It sounds so simple and yet we make it so complicated. What an inspiring man Serge Benhayon is.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

20/7/2017 11:09:20 pm

After lifetimes of choosing to compromise my expression to fit in with a world that is far from loving and true, and walking with the pain of knowing that I am holding back the absolute expression of God that I and everyone else equally is, it has been a breath of fresh air to witness someone who walks, talks and breathes the light of his Soul.

Being shown that regardless of hurts and perceived prohibitions it is still possible to live as Sons of God in this world that we have created, and to receive constant reminder that we are ALL equal Sons of God simply needing to realign to our truth and live that fact, has been the greatest precious gift I have come across in this life.

Joshua Campbell

21/7/2017 07:35:40 am

Serge has been the first to deliver to me the fact that we all do know what is going on and that we do in fact make choices on a deeper level that we are not always aware of but in truth avoid admitting we make. This is one aspect to the level of responsibility he invites us all to explore and to live by as it is this level of honesty in ones life that opens doors to a life of true health and well-being.

Michael Brown

21/7/2017 07:44:21 am

We are all equal yet with different expressions, and this is the magic of the universe.

Danna Elmalah

21/7/2017 08:54:16 am

The stone needs to be seen in its full capacity in order to know what it is. Serge Benhayon has definately shown humanity the exact diamond he is and what that means as a reflection for humanity. Learning and teaching all of humanity how important it is to fully come out and be the diamond you are.

Mary

21/7/2017 12:17:08 pm

What you have shared with everyone about your feelings of Serge Benhayon is what we all feel about this most humble man and yet he has such vast knowledge at his commend. And he shares this with everyone he meets and he tells everyone he meets that he is not in any way special we all have this ability to tap into and access the Universal mind just like him, we are just choosing not to! Wow have we missed out on something so very precious.

Brendan Mooney

21/7/2017 12:56:32 pm

Serge Benhayon inspires everyone to live their true selves in a world that often encourages the opposite.

Heather Pope

13/8/2017 12:54:47 pm

Through inspiration we have true choice to walk in life as living examples of the love and joy that is innately ours.

Mary

21/7/2017 11:52:53 pm

This just resonates with me
" What he presents is a set of principles, not about how to change everything in life but how to live from the most ultimate point of simplicity and grace, and that is to live in connection to the Soul. From there, the rest is up to you."
You do not get any expectancy; Serge Benhayon does not need any outcome from what he presents. He just presents and then it is up to the individual and their free will what they will do with the information. Whereas in our current way of life we place huge expectations on ourselves or it comes in from others and can be crushing.

Ariana Ray

22/7/2017 04:36:59 am

'There is quite literally not an aspect of my life now that is not different – from food, to work, to exercise, to relationships to how I breath, everything means everything.' Which is the same for me and so many others. The Way Of The Livingness which Serge Benhayon presents is a game changer because WE live it, not one can do it for us, it's our choice ...or not.

Michelle Mcwaters

22/7/2017 04:56:31 am

'Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal and think that is all that is possible in this world.' Thank you for putting this so succinctly. There are so many of us given up and fed up with having to battle with systems that do not put people first. In this context if we are offered no reflection that there is a different way we will not be consciously aware that there is one, believing that the coal is just life...

Vicky Cooke

22/7/2017 10:19:02 am

I love what you present here Joel 'shining like a diamond for each other' to me this is what true love is ✨

Matilda Bathurst

29/7/2017 07:36:19 pm

I agree, Vicky. When we live unreservedly 'shining like a diamond for each other' we are in true relationship and service, dispensing with comparison, jealousy and competition to honour ourselves, each other and the qualities we have.

Heather Pope

13/8/2017 12:53:09 pm

Its a great point that when we choose to live as the diamond we are, no comparison to others, or competition to feel worth is needed. We are already enough.

Gabriele Conrad

22/7/2017 11:50:24 am

Until I met Serge Benhayon, I had never come across anybody with such astute clarity on the topic of free will and individual choices. Serge presents the topic as the science it is and takes all its former mystery away. Serge answers every question I have ever had and unequivocally and by living example conveys that we all have the very same innate ability to deliver likewise.

Jonathan Stewart

26/7/2017 10:12:25 pm

So true, Gabriele, and by presenting it as a science, which it is, it takes away any possibility of personal interpretation and thereby of any abuse.

Victoria Picone

22/7/2017 12:57:39 pm

Serge only ever speaks to the gem within us the Soul, and inspires us to let go of everything else that is not of that same quality if that be our choice.

David

22/7/2017 10:19:41 pm

Joel what Serge has always shown me is that I am amazing in myself, and whilst I may have things in the way of living that amazingness the foundation, the core the real me is equal to the universe. This reflection has helped me change from being self abusive to being deeply loving and therefore appreciating the preciousness within that is now shining outside as well.

Stephen Gammack

23/7/2017 01:10:27 am

Another beautiful testimonial to a deeply loving and inspiring man. Is there another example in modern life of a person who has so deeply touched and positively affected so many people's lives, and where those people have so wished to express their appreciation for his commitment and deep care for people.

Ariana Ray

23/7/2017 03:38:13 am

'Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal.' You make a great point and a massive reason to step up and shine for all.

23/7/2017 06:02:58 am

Love the diamonds and the coal comment - it is true that if we hold back, others hold back too. If we are fully us, others feel that can be that too - it shows that we are all reflections to each other.

Golnaz Shariaztadeh

23/7/2017 06:04:54 am

“Serge shines so that others might equally shine in their own lives, in their own way.” I love the truth of this phrase. The beauty of it is that as more and more people choose to shine like the precious stone we all are, the more the whole world can see that despite the mess and devastation we have created, this level of love, wisdom, power and responsibility is actually our true essence.

Susan Green

23/7/2017 09:09:58 am

'Indeed, the most powerful gift he offers, is the space to develop and appreciate our own equal ability, wisdom, power and responsibility to live and shine like the precious stone we are.' We are One and the same on the inside, the most priceless treasure.

Kim Weston

23/7/2017 12:48:55 pm

Beautifully expressed Joel, Serge is a Gem that is unwavering in his light.

Fumiyo Egashira

23/7/2017 01:48:04 pm

“He has the ultimate respect for an individual's free will. He presents commitment without ideology, discipline without judgment, joy without the need for others to choose the same” – I love this. So gracefully stated and I totally agree. This is love that I have not seen been lived before.

Shami

23/7/2017 08:33:16 pm

Serge Benhayon is definitely a living example of "how to live from the most ultimate point of simplicity and grace", his reflection in this way of living is a most inspiring point of light.

Simon Williams

23/7/2017 08:55:42 pm

Beautifully written as always Joel. I like many have been super inspired in every aspect of my life by Serge. There is a quality you highlighted here which struck me - how Serge is absolutely dedicated to sharing the principles and his teachings to help Humanity see the quagmire and lift themselves out... but he does it without judgement, with infinite patience and allows us the space to come at it in our own time.

Rowena Stewart

26/7/2017 09:43:06 pm

I totally agree Simon. Serge Benhayon is super inspiring and lifts the game for all of us, simply, gracefully and very astutely embodying a completely new benchmark in life for us all to walk towards. It is never 'do as I say' with Serge, he lives his life completely un-invested in whether we, humanity, gets it or not, consistently holding everyone in the true light we are, giving us the grace to come to our own conclusions in our own time. All we need to deal with is our own procrastination and resistance to surrendering to our own innate inner wisdom, responsibility and power.

Ariana Ray

23/7/2017 09:19:40 pm

I love the prospectors understanding that 'it was still his own choice and responsibility to live his life in that way." As no one can live our lives for us, it has to be our choices to live the way the reflection offers to us - or not.

Rowena Stewart

23/7/2017 11:03:43 pm

As the years roll by the more I realize that what Serge Benhayon lives, presents and reflects is actually very normal, a living gem in a world that thrives on the belief that we are all made from coal. The more I wipe the coal dust off myself and see the glint of a diamond below, the more I realize just how much our societies and global cultures have taken us a long way away from who we truly are. It is a true blessing to know Serge, to study his work, to have his presence in our lives, a presence that constantly reminds us just how precious, awesome and deeply wise we are. Now it is our responsibility to live it.

Mary

24/7/2017 10:15:59 pm

Too me there are no rules just common sense for example the other day Serge Benhayon was presenting on decency and respect and to me this made total sense as why wouldn't we want to treat people in this way. However when I look around me we seem to have forgotten these principals and are less for giving with each other and so is it possible we have replaced decency and respect with abusive behaviour?

Heather Pope

13/8/2017 12:56:51 pm

Showing decency and respect to others has almost gone the way of the dodo in our society today. Tabloids, reality TV and social media encourage everything but decency. Yet this one tenet offers a life well lived should one choose to apply it.

Ruth Ketnor

24/7/2017 10:24:16 pm

' Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal and think that is all that is possible in this world. '
Thank heaven for Serge Benhayon, shining so brightly showing us we can also shine so brightly through bringing love into our lives. A deeply inspiring man who gives us the space and grace to shine in our own time.

25/7/2017 01:45:46 am

I totally agree - Serge Benhayon is a diamond who reflects back at us - by this I mean he lives in a way that is so inspiring and allows me to feel that I too can make choices to live in this way - vital, energised, an absolute support and someone who has made sense all along.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

25/7/2017 05:11:16 am

It is a tragedy that humanity has chosen to walk around like lumps of coal and has also set up numerous systems and patterns that keep us in such illusion. Yet how gorgeous that as Serge Benhayon so beautifully reflects we all remain that “precious gem of immeasurable quality” within, just bursting to come out and express.

Heather Pope

13/8/2017 12:50:30 pm

What is also exquisite is that no one is left out. We all equally shine within. Our outward behaviour may not reflect that at all, but nevertheless it is still there within.

Henrietta Chang

25/7/2017 11:41:12 am

Joel, I love your analogies and stories that help us understand ourselves and life so much more. So many times we seek the beauty outside of ourselves not stopping to realise that it is the inner beauty that we actually are aching for. Serge Benhayon is a man who reflects and reminds us of this consistently so and has an immense amount of patience in allowing us to come to this realisation and then to embrace this inner beauty and then to live it, often tentatively at first and then more so in leaps and bounds as we claim it more. Thank God for those who have not forgotten about this inner beauty and and here to remind those of us who had forgotten or those of us who have been distracted by the other beauty!

rosanna bianchini

26/7/2017 01:21:46 am

What Serge offers by way of brilliant reflection is immeasurable.. and barely fathomable.. all we can do is allow ourselves to feel the enormity of this reflection and know that we are all equal – that it is entirely possible to "shine like a diamond" for each other, so that others know that there is more than just coal in the world.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

1/8/2017 07:11:07 am

Thank you Rosanna. This example alone is a beautiful reflection that regardless of how far we have veered away from expressing the light of our Soul, when we witness this in another, we may not be able to put our finger on it, or understand it, yet we feel the enormity of it to our core. In one instant we know with every cell that we too are of the exact same light, and in the next moment we have a true choice.

Fiona Pierce

26/7/2017 07:15:13 am

Serge shines and reminds of the magnificence equally within us all and shows that it is possible to bring this to life, to our everyday and all our relationships and expressions.

Matilda Bathurst

29/7/2017 07:32:43 pm

Serge has made what is still not statistically normal (as in commonly occurring) totally normal and that is the fact that we can live, expressing and being every day, the remarkable qualities we all have inside us - all of which unite us rather than divide us.

Kerstin Salzer

26/7/2017 07:21:11 pm

I love how you describe the qualities of Serge Benhayon:
"He presents commitment without ideology, discipline without judgment, joy without the need for others to choose the same."
Only a deeply loving and caring discipline can be without judgement and only true joy coming from a deep place of stillness does not seek the confimation in the outside so that others need to be the same.

Ariana Ray

26/7/2017 08:55:03 pm

'SERGE BENHAYON INSPIRES US TO SHINE LIKE THE PRECIOUS STONE WE ARE'.... and so he does. The inspiration of a man who lives what is true everyday with no time out- that is some inspiration.

Jonathan Stewart

26/7/2017 10:03:18 pm

As you say, Joel, Serge does not deliver rules of how to be but instead principles of how to live and then for us to explore and apply them, as we feel fit. By doing so we become our own masters and not subjects of another, in this case Serge Benhayon

Heather Pope

27/7/2017 11:46:10 am

It would not be common to think of one's self as shining like a diamond, but nevertheless this is possible. Through the Way of the Livingness I have discovered the diamond within, and now continual to develop letting the world see that.

Jenny Ellis

27/7/2017 07:19:20 pm

Beautiful Joel, Serge Benhayon is unmissable as a diamond amongst coals but you are spot on, what he inspires is the opportunity to discover that that diamond exists in each of us equally.

Matilda Bathurst

29/7/2017 07:28:19 pm

Yes - it often takes the reflection of someone else for us to see the sparkle in us. We then have the choice to dismiss this or embrace it and make it part of our relationship with ourselves.

Ariana Ray

27/7/2017 09:49:27 pm

Shinning as bright as the sun is what we all can be by making the choices to live love over the thoughts that are fed to us.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

27/7/2017 11:42:57 pm

It has been immensely inspiring witnessing that when one person chooses to consistently live the light of their Soul and hold all others as an equal in that love, it can have such a profound impact on the lives so many. You have nailed it “Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal and think that is all that is possible in this world.”

Joseph Barker

28/7/2017 01:46:20 am

Ah yes Joel, so many of us say that we want a loving life, yet when faced with the simple steps we need to take, it's like we run the opposite way. Serge Benhayon presents everything you could ever need to understand, and then some. So it's over to me and you, what are we going to choose this time? The way forward is simple and clear, the willingness to say yes may be difficult to find at first but in the end it leads to the Love we all deserve.

Joshua Campbell

28/7/2017 07:31:24 am

It was Serge Benhayon that reminded me how much of a gem I was. Sometimes you need the reflection of a unquestionablely shining gem to be reminded of who you are within.

Heather Pope

29/10/2017 03:27:51 pm

Knowing you are a gem changes everything, how you see yourself, how you deal with issues, and how open you are with others.

Rowena Stewart

28/7/2017 11:10:35 am

"To say everything is not a piece of hyperbole, there is quite literally not an aspect of my life now that is not different – from food, to work, to exercise, to relationships to how I breath, everything means everything." Same, Same Joel, my life is totally unrecognisable from what it was 11 years ago. Serge Benhayon empowered me to completely change track from an otherwise inevitable downward slide into illness and disease. This precious gem of a man that stands before us is well worth paying astute attention to.

Harrison

28/7/2017 12:41:00 pm

I quite like your description of how Serge Benhayon reminded you of the gem you are, and that to live it's unceasing light, love and majesty in the world will be a most invaluable thing. Serge Benhayon reminded me that it is okay to shine, in the way that I naturally am and not put on the way I had believed I had to be.

Stephen Gammack

28/7/2017 02:44:40 pm

Sometimes we find the precious stone that shines and gleams so brightly that we get a bit overwhelmed at what we found and don't know what to do with it. Sometimes everything we need is right in front of us but it seems too hard or we make excuses this is so. With Serge Benhayon he has proven time and again that his presence and his wisdom are showing up the falsity of human life, but in a way that provides the alternative should we choose it. Like many great leaders of the ages his true worth will likely only be appreciated when he is no longer here.

Rosie Bason

Serge Benhayon has inspired me to shine like I have never shined before and what I love is that he supports everyone to do that equally.

Ingrid Ward

28/7/2017 09:18:54 pm

For many years I was definitely a prospector looking in the wrong place for the treasure that I felt was waiting for me and forever hopeful that one day I would find it. And found it I finally have, but not where I thought it would be. It took meeting Serge Benhayon, the master of all prospectors to offer me the treasure map that would support me to find this seemingly elusive treasure and where did I find it – buried deep inside me, where it had always been. All I have had to do is to make the choice to uncover it and polish it once again.

Ariana Ray

28/7/2017 09:47:10 pm

'Everything means everything' is a revelation in a world that tells us that everything is nothing and lets ignore what is in front of our noses. Thank God for Serge Benhayon, who lives truth and walks his talk.

When we see someone shine bright as a diamond, we instinctively know that this is not just their external appearance, but that it is coming from deep within where it is not just about the 3 dimensional world we live in. That instance is a reminder of the truth of who we are also.

Gabriele Conrad

29/7/2017 01:10:53 am

Serge supports people to rediscover the luminosity inside, to claim and then live it in daily life.

David Nicholson

Gabriele he does indeed, a great inspiration for many globally.

Nikki McKee

"Indeed, the most powerful gift he offers, is the space to develop and appreciate our own equal ability, wisdom, power and responsibility to live and shine like the precious stone we are." This offering coupled with space is extraordinary. It feels expansive to receive and calls me gracefully and lovingly to be more.

Michael Brown

29/7/2017 11:47:22 am

Our light shows others that there is another way possible.

Heather Pope

29/10/2017 03:28:45 pm

Our commitment to living that light means we are on a daily basis evolving, and through that we are a living example of possibility.

Matilda Bathurst

29/7/2017 07:25:07 pm

It is often through the eye of others that I first see a certain quality in me. I then have the choice to dismiss noticing or to acknowledge it and build my relationship with myself incorporating this new awareness, insight and self-value. It is through the eyes of Serge Benhayon that I have learnt my worth again.

Jonathan Stewart

1/8/2017 10:30:28 pm

I love how you have expressed this, Matilda. It beautifully expresses the joy, wisdom, truth and love that Serge enables to re-discover in ourselves

rosanna bianchini

4/8/2017 01:16:51 pm

A smooth way into acceptance and appreciation of our own natural qualities, inspired by another’s quality and observation. Serge offers this in spades, I’ve experienced this too Matilda and Jonathan.

Floris van der Schot link

30/7/2017 02:23:23 am

Everything in my life has changed too. The most significant change is to feel the value in every part of my life and in everything I do. That the way I eat, the way I exercise, the way I work, cook, clean etc. carries a reflection. Either one of love or not. Without perfection and definitely with a purpose and responsibility.

Carmel Reid

30/7/2017 03:15:26 am

'He presents commitment without ideology, discipline without judgment, joy without the need for others to choose the same.' and what is great about his presentations is that he is allowing his children to speak on stage with him - they add their own wisdom to his and he does not play any inflated ego games, they all work together with equality.

Susan Green

30/7/2017 10:49:37 am

When I came back from my first presentation with Serge some 10 years ago, I was completely gobsmacked. I knew I had met the most precious thing to me and I found it hard to describe what it was that I was feeling, because it was actually very, very familiar. In time I realised Serge was showing me who I really was and I was gradually feeling that absolute preciousness..

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

30/7/2017 11:57:00 am

In this world there is no greater love than reminding another that we are, every single one of us, a divine Son of God. That means although we may be choosing to express otherwise, we nonetheless have all the qualities of God flowing through us constantly - love, truth, harmony, stillness and joy. And the best way to remind another of the fact of their divinity is to express it ourselves.

Carmel Reid

30/7/2017 11:27:30 pm

Because what serge Benhayon is presenting is from the same source of Ageless Wisdom that we already have within us all equally, it is no wonder there is a sense of 'coming home' the first time we hear him speak, he is opening the doors for us to return to our own way of knowing.

Rachel Murtagh link

31/7/2017 10:40:31 am

'Serge shines so that others might equally shine in their own lives, in their own way.' A true statement, Joel! To watch those who have been inspired by Serge Benhayon light up and shine their own way has been equally inspirational as observing Serge himself!

Gabriele Conrad

31/7/2017 02:57:16 pm

Serge is the master of space – the space he accords everyone to freely choose and to do what they need to do in their own time. Understanding the bigger reality we are a part of, there is absolutely no investment in outcomes, ever.

Lucy Duffy

5/8/2017 02:28:44 am

I agree Gabriele. This quality that Serge lives is such a gift to each and every one of us. He lives and reflects his absolute All without an ounce of judgement that we have not been choosing that. It's deeply humbling.

jenny james

1/8/2017 10:01:45 am

Serge Benhayon simply offers the love, wisdom and truth of what he lives. That's what makes him so genuine and precious in a world that broadly offers hooks and tantalising entertainment.

Willem

1/8/2017 11:13:32 am

Serge Benhayon is indeed a precious gem that can be found by anybody. But is not about looking up to him, but listening to him what he shares how he lives, and how many great people have lived before him, and see and know that this kind of life we could live as well. So we can be that same gem to other people. That is what I would call a life with true purpose and true beauty.

Heather Pope

29/10/2017 03:41:46 pm

The understanding of the Ageless Wisdom offered by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine is precious beyond words.

Karin Barea

1/8/2017 01:54:54 pm

Serge Benhayon never not sees another as the gem that they are too. This level of love and knowing is what transforms lives. I can never doubt myself because I cannot deny feeling the truth of this knowing in me.

Jonathan Stewart

1/8/2017 10:23:51 pm

We spend years, if not lifetimes, searching (prospecting) for the 'gem' that will answer all our questions and sustain our life yet that is within each of us if we but look within. Serge Benhayon is the prospector who discovered this and is showing us all the way to our inner 'gem', our true essence.

Jenny Ellis

2/8/2017 08:09:08 pm

Yes Joel, it is very true about Serge Benhayon... he does give the space to find our own inner gem , to our own way back to this place, all without an ounce of push, investment to change or judgement about the many ill-paths we choose to go down along the way.

Heather Pope

13/8/2017 12:49:00 pm

Such is the power and grace of Serge Benhayon that he never once asks anyone to change anything, or be anything, but offers the space and support for each person to choose their own way.

Alex

3/8/2017 09:43:42 am

Serge presents a beholding love that sees the precious gem in everyone without any imposition for a person to polish their facets but inspiring and showing how one can do it if the may choose to do so.

Heather Pope

20/8/2017 10:20:32 am

The majesty of knowing that every person is an equal gem within is one of the many true gifts offered from Serge Benhayon to the world.

Joseph Barker

3/8/2017 03:51:53 pm

Yes Joel, when we are given the key to life, served on a plate, do we take it up with open arms and joyfully open the door? Or do we hesitate, procrastinate and complicate like before? The way Serge Benhayon lives and what he presents shows it's not that we can't access truth - but that we have chosen not to know. The simple difference is that Serge steps forward willingly - and sets an example that asks of me 'are you willing to move forward with truth too?'.

Ariana Ray

3/8/2017 08:20:37 pm

'While the stone represented the life he had always wanted to live, it was still his own choice and responsibility to live his life in that way." And there is the crux of it, we can see how much another shines, but if we want that for ourselves, we have to take the responsibility to live that way. There you have it. Serge Benhayon is that precious gem, he is showing us that we too can live like he does but we have to live it, no one else can live it for us.

Rowena Stewart

3/8/2017 09:29:56 pm

"This has been my experience of finding Serge Benhayon, a precious gem of immeasurable quality who has a way of living and understanding the world that changes everything." Mine too Joel and that of many, many people who have chosen to study Serge's work and have experience incredible changes in their lives. Serge continually brings us back to the beautiful treasures we are in the most simple of gestures, reminding us that our grace, power and wisdom is always with us, all we need to do is move in alignment to it.

Rosanna Bianchini

4/8/2017 01:18:08 pm

So aptly described in the context here Joel, "a precious gem of immeasurable quality who has a way of living and understanding the world that changes everything". What Serge brings through his lived experience is beyond any worldly value. He offers everyone equally an unravelling of all that does not make sense in life, so simply and clearly to our own inner gem.

Heather Pope

29/10/2017 03:27:03 pm

The understandings of life brought through by Serge Benhayon are out of this world. They are simple, they make sense, and they very obviously do not come from a man who lives within the boundaries of society.

Danna Elmalah

4/8/2017 02:40:53 pm

The element that is very profound, is one of many lived and shared by Serge, that is offering space to anyone , accepting their absolute choices and path.. There is never a push or a rush to get another somewhere - just a simple offering of space and love that allows one to enfold in the depth they want. How profound is that. From this lived way - it inspires me to let all go that I have put in the way of me offering the same - in equallness to everyone - space and love to enfold in one"s way. Thank you Serge Benhayon for your abdolute consistent offer of space and love.

Ariana Ray

4/8/2017 09:17:05 pm

I have a chandelier in my bedroom that has diamond like gems amongst it, as I was changing my sheets this morning I knocked one of them slightly and watched the shine and sparkle that came off it's facets, it was a great reflection of what you are talking about here Joel, for the precious gems we are can shine and reflect so much light.

Chan Ly

5/8/2017 01:43:22 am

I love your blog Joel, what you've expressed is so beautiful. It really inspires me to shine no matter what. I deeply appreciate the love that Serge Benhayon consistently reflects and shines to us all, reminding us of who we are.

Lucy Duffy

5/8/2017 02:25:39 am

It was Serge Benhayon that opened my eyes to the universal truth that everything is everything and nothing is nothing. He lives it, breathes it, and moves with it, reflecting and inspiring in every moment.

Heather Pope

13/8/2017 12:51:45 pm

This might sound like throw away words, but as the connection within is brought out to the world, it is clear that everything is everything.

Nico van Haastercht

5/8/2017 09:15:24 pm

Thanks to Serge Benhayon I have re-found that precious stone again, that stone I always new was there but was not able to even get a glare of. the presence of Serge in all that he is and does made it possible for me to feel that what he lives is also in me if I choose so. I also found that it was simply my stubborn tenacity to the temporal life and to not live that grandness what was already in me, waiting, maybe for ageas, for me to come to my senses and choose to live that once again.

Rowena Stewart

5/8/2017 09:25:41 pm

The moment you turn this gem around in your hand, you know that you have met the most precious resource the Universe has to offer. Everything that Serge Benhayon presents brings us back to the simple truth of who we really are and the quality of the lives we are leading, exposing our self imposed ignorance of the super intelligent Universe we live in and our inherent divine glory. The real question to ask is, are we prepared to resume responsibility, roll up our sleeves and get stuck into sorting out the mess we have created as a consequence of turning our backs on God and all we know to be divinely true?

Monica Gillooly

6/8/2017 02:37:50 pm

A gem Joel. Serge offers that to all he meets that we are a precious gem and that we can choose to live it in our own time, it's quite something to have someone offer you the world with no attachment to whether you take it or not, and giving all the time for you to take that. And the world is you living the preciousness of who you are, and Serge offers that example to all he meets in absolute fullness always.

Heather Pope

13/8/2017 12:47:35 pm

Its quite extraordinary to think that from all the searching many of us do, we are already the diamond within. It just takes removing that which covers the diamond.

Rachel Murtagh link

7/8/2017 11:58:03 am

SERGE BENHAYON INSPIRES US TO SHINE LIKE THE PRECIOUS STONE WE ARE! Have you ever really stopped to admire a shining stone? To observe each stone's quality is mesmerizing...its light, depth, sparkle, illuminous shades, the movement of light and it cuts through the different angles is alive and active. Each stone is different; each stone is unique and yet the beauty in each one holds the same sense of awe. In our power and truth each one of us way more than this. Serge is inspiring each one of us to rub off the outer layers of dirt, discard what is not true and bring out our inner shine!

Stephanie Stevenson

Golnaz Shariatazadeh

I love your following comment about Serge Benhayon: “Indeed, the most powerful gift he offers, is the space to develop and appreciate our own equal ability, wisdom, power and responsibility to live and shine like the precious stone we are.”

Prior to Universal Medicine I knew we were more than this physical body, but the many areas of study seem to all show that the physical and metaphysical aspects of us did not really gel that well: the physical seemed to require focus and action, and the metaphysical seemed to require you to ignore the physical and try hard to connect to something that was neither tangible, nor made real sense.

Thank God, since knowing Serge Benhayon it has become obvious how everything is absolutely connected and I have been supported to deepen my understanding and awareness, as well as develop ways that help connect to and live my essence in everyday life.
So True “Serge shines so that others might equally shine in their own lives, in their own way.”

Ariana Ray

8/8/2017 10:44:01 am

'Serge Benhayon, a precious gem of immeasurable quality ' and yes he is - yet he is always very clear that he is not special, it's his choices to live the way he does.

David Nicholson

8/8/2017 10:21:03 pm

One of the strongest things I've felt from Serge, apart from his consistent love and support, is the strength of his principles he lives by and whilst I don't know all of them I've certainly been inspired to look at the principles and values that I hold and live by and consider what truly matters.

Heather Pope

29/10/2017 03:40:24 pm

Its a great point that commitment to your principles, to what you hold dear, to what you know includes everyone equally, is a quality that is sorely missing in life, and well demonstrated by Serge Benhayon every day.

Matilda Bathurst link

9/8/2017 12:47:19 am

I love the confirmation of the 'everything' that Serge has affected in you life, Joel. And I agree, there is not one aspect of my life that has not been touched by the teachings of Universal Medicine and the inspiration of working alongside Serge Benhayon.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

9/8/2017 07:02:06 am

I wonder if this what true alchemy is about. Holding the light of fire within you steady and expressing it in all areas in every detail, and observe the whole fabric of life start to also reflect that same quality of fire?
Observing Serge Benhayon I have been understanding that regardless of what is going on, it is the choice to allow the love of God which flows through us express in every area of our life, and to shine the preciousness of such a light brightly, that inspires others to start dealing with all the excuses that get in the way and also start to shine the fullness of the love that they themselves are.

Joshua Campbell

9/8/2017 07:58:08 am

Serge Benhayon is the first person to show me that a person is never defined by their behaviours but by who they truly are - which is an amazing Son of God

jeanette macdonald

9/8/2017 10:35:04 am

Once you meet Serge Benhayon your world can never be the same again. On meeting him we make one of two choices. If you reject what is felt and seen in his presence you are simply rejecting yourself, if you embrace it you are saying yes to love, to embracing nd youyourself, others, life, indeed everything, and life and you are the richer for doing so.

Sandra Vicary

30/8/2017 10:35:10 am

So true Jeanette. It really is as simple as that. We either choose to reject what Serge offers and therefore the opportunity to personally grow and evolve so no-one benefits, or we accept it, say yes, and everyone benefits!

Michael Brown

9/8/2017 01:08:17 pm

Much like stones, we are all unique, and should be appreciative of what each of us brings by reflection.

Heather Pope

13/8/2017 12:45:26 pm

The essence of us all is equal yet different in its expression. That is why we are all needed to be and live as the diamond within.

Joseph Barker

9/8/2017 01:12:21 pm

Like a stunning diamond, Serge Benhayon sparkles, reflecting back light from so many angles to us all. He brings together, so many little bits and parts into a precious whole. Just when you think it is covered and understood, there is more. Like a jewel it's true, the truth seems to go on deep within itself with no end in sight. And like any precious stone, it's up to us to cherish it, to polish and care for it, or leave it in the ground at night. The light the jewel can reflect is limited by that which is shone on it too. And so what a beautiful metaphor you use Joel to so accurately represent howvthe wisdom that Serge offers is dependent on us and what we choose.

Mary

9/8/2017 10:13:17 pm

"Serge shines so that others might equally shine in their own lives, in their own way."
I felt this today, that we each have the possibility to shine like the sun, because we are all the suns of God. We have fallen so far from grace that we have forgotten this, but the truth remains the truth it cannot be altered.

Fiona Lotherington

10/8/2017 12:01:19 pm

The fable at the beginning of this testimonial beautifully captures our search for and relationship with our soul. Serge Benhayon lives this in a way that blows any doubt that we can live soulfully out of the water. It is a matter of us claiming ourselves as equal and letting go of the ‘chase’ in life.

rosanna bianchini

11/8/2017 01:55:28 am

"Maybe he was more interested in the thrill of the chase than he was in actually finding what he was looking for." We can dabble with this chase for years, keeping us occupied and entertained, but then there comes a point when we realise it cannot be any other way than what is shining in front of us. The true changes come around when we make that call.

Ruth Ketnor

12/8/2017 05:53:10 am

Thank heaven we have a diamond, Serge Benhayon, that shines so so brightly to remind us we are also diamonds that can shine equally as bright.

Heather Pope

13/8/2017 12:43:16 pm

That is the beauty of what Serge Benhayon offers the world. It really only takes one person to choose to be the diamond within (regardless of what society says), and then the example is there for all others to come out of the closet and live as the diamond they too are.

Jonathan Stewart

12/8/2017 12:14:06 pm

There is no greater gem to discover than what Serge Benhayon presents and that is to re-discover that the gem is one's own essence, one's Soul.

Rowena Stewart

12/8/2017 12:27:45 pm

Every time I watch Serge Benhayon or attend his workshops I leave a much richer and wiser person. Every event is a treasure chest of information, over flowing with pearls of wisdom, nuggets of gold and some real gemstones of perception. And this treasure comes from an in-exhaustible supply of Universal intelligence that flows through him in the timeless tradition of the Ageless Wisdom, plenty to share with everyone.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

13/8/2017 06:56:10 am

“Commitment without ideology, discipline without judgment, joy without the need for others to choose the same”, this means providing a loving reflection of the divine essence within each of us, whilst honouring and offering the space for the person to make their own changes in their own time. This is an astonishing degree of love and understanding which Serge Benhayon has inspired me to offer myself as well to others.

Gabriele Conrad

13/8/2017 02:00:58 pm

Serge Benhayon very simply lives every moment for humanity and breathes every breath for service to humanity. His true importance and his vaster than vast contributions will only be appreciated after he passes over, when all the petty jealousies and squabbles have finally died down.

Julie link

14/8/2017 11:35:09 am

"He has the ultimate respect for an individual's free will. He presents commitment without ideology, discipline without judgment, joy without the need for others to choose the same." So so so true - it is inspiring to see the amount of space and time Serge allows for each of us to choose for ourselves to return to living in the equal quality he chooses everyday and reflects to everyone. A quality we all know within yet time and time again find whatever we can to distract away from the wonder of the gem we all are.

Carmel Reid

14/8/2017 06:03:11 pm

The way Serge Benhayon presents everything and leaves us to choose in our own time, is inspiring because we can do the same for our fellow human beings - we are often impatient and judgemental and the role model we are offered is to bring our all to every situation and not judge anybody else who does not.

Stephen Gammack

14/8/2017 08:33:03 pm

I would say that Serge Benhayon reawakened me to the joy there is in purpose, in serving in life. That is doing things that are not only for self but benefit everyone. It is a work in progress but I feel the immense difference living with this greater level of regard.

Heather Pope

20/8/2017 10:18:50 am

Understanding true purpose is an experience that never leaves one, and ironically it has nothing to do with self-gain and everything to do with the all of humanity.

Ariana Ray

14/8/2017 09:04:05 pm

'Serge Benhayon, a precious gem of immeasurable quality' and yes he is, not because he is special but because he has chosen Love and Light again and again over anything the world can offer, he lives this choice and his whole body moves with it, not for himself, bit for all of us to see there is another way to live and for us to see the full truth of who we are.

Lieke Campbell

16/8/2017 07:48:30 am

And that is so beautiful about what Serge presents, by what he lives and says, it is a way of living and a set of principles that will support us to change our life only if we truly live them ourselves. Therefor it is sustainable change and not a quick fix.

Christine Hogan link

17/8/2017 02:10:27 am

Serge Benhayon holds everyone with the same deep love, respect and commitment free of any expectation or condition. His reflection is exquisite.

Sarah Flenley

17/8/2017 01:27:10 pm

"Serge shines so that others might equally shine in their own lives, in their own way.", and we then in turn shine for others, inspiring them to equally shine, and so forth and so forth. We are all the 'one' for each other, that is the magic of the Soul.

Michelle Mcwaters

18/8/2017 02:16:28 am

'Serge Benhayon, a precious gem of immeasurable quality who has a way of living and understanding the world that changes everything.' So succinctly put Joel. His wise perspective completely alters the angle at which to look at life and in that turn, by degrees I am slowly deepening my awareness and understanding of it by altering the course of my angle.

Kim Weston

18/8/2017 12:46:30 pm

Serge Benhayon shows how simple it can be to walk heaven on earth, and in this exposes the complexity we have chosen to not walk around as the equal Son’s of God.

Heather Pope

Life on earth is not what we thought it was, we can live a simple and yet glorious life.

Joel your writing is pure alchemy, a true gift to read.

Leigh Matson

19/8/2017 12:08:06 am

Without a reflection we are unaware and yet we are constantly learning how to live via the reflection of others. We are not individual in our way of life as we have picked up mannerisms, behaviours, speech from others. Serge Benhayon presents exactly this but with the knowing he is a reflection and the quality that is being reflected that others will then know themselves by.

Michael Brown

19/8/2017 01:31:24 am

When we shine we show all it is possible to do so.

Heather Pope

20/8/2017 10:16:17 am

So many in life are unwilling to shine, it is as if by shining we will somehow be excluded. Thank goodness for Serge Benhayon not holding back the gloriousness that he is. Now many thousands of people have the option to likewise claim and shine who they are.

jennym

20/8/2017 01:43:56 am

To present the simplicity and grace of living connected to our soul as Serge Benhayon does, allows one to drop the endless seeking for truth and the need to improve or change oneself.

Ariana Ray

20/8/2017 05:44:03 am

‘Serge Benhayon, a precious gem of immeasurable quality’ – this is absolutely correct, he is a world teach of such authority that he sells out to nothong, all because he lives his talk and talks his walk.

Sylvia Brinkman

20/8/2017 08:11:00 am

That is very true Joel. Serge doesn't hold back because we do. His heart is wide open to everybody no one left out. It doesn't matter how you choose to live he just hold you in love and at the same time he is not expecting nothing, he just delivers divine wisdom and he doesn't have any push that we will make steps into our innate divine we are. He knows anyway one day we will.

Fiona L link

22/8/2017 12:28:38 pm

It struck me today that what was shared about every aspect of Joel’s life being different, was no exaggeration. My life and the way I am in life is completely different to before I met Serge Benhayon. Without his steady reflection I would never have made these choices. I would have continued to choose from the smorgasbord of options in life that keep you on a hamster wheel that only offers temporary highs, distractions or relief.

Stephanie Stevenson

22/8/2017 09:26:01 pm

Serge is like the polished and beautifully facetted diamond that consistently shines brightly for all to know the truth from his Living Way. A powerful and inspiring role model for what is possible for every person on this planet, equally so.
"Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal and think that is all that is possible in this world".

Shami

25/8/2017 01:08:22 pm

It is so true what is being presented here in this piece about Serge Benhayon. And the more I get to know him the clearer it becomes that he is simply living from a place within himself that is equally available to us all. A place that is alive and bountiful.

26/8/2017 04:32:51 pm

As you say Joel - everything means everything - meaning every tiny movement or action we produce matters - every word and expression and thought - it all matters and adds up to a sum of quality that we hold our bodies in.

That Serge is '...unfazed about how long any one individual takes to (make) these changes...' is surely one of the greatest gifts that can be offered us. The grace and space of time, and the knowledge that there can only ultimately ever be one way to go with our evolution, allows for a patient and steady unfolding back to our soul.

Lucy

So true, Serge shines regardless of who is listening or watching. He lives the grandness we are from with no apology and it is inspiring.

Mary-Louise Myers

28/8/2017 04:28:50 pm

So true Joel if there are no diamonds shinning then we do not know what is possible. I know I did not have this reflection before I met Serge Benhayon.

'Serge Benhayon inspires us all.' And so he does, by the simplicity of his living way of life which is all very regular and normal, a family man with the usual responsibilities , but Serge Benhayon does not consider that his family is all that is important, of equal importance is the global family of humanity. He then lives his life in a manner that will support all not just those living in his family and by his lived way he inspires us all to shine.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

28/8/2017 11:32:41 pm

It is far too frequent, and even championed, for people to shine something about themselves in order to be recognised as better and more than everyone else. Yet in Serge Benhayon we see an example of a different way of being: shining so that it supports, inspires and reminds everyone else of their own absolute equal glory.

Joshua Campbell

30/8/2017 06:58:08 am

Serge Benhayon has this most amazingly inspiring way of holding no judgement whatsoever over anyone yet being totally willing to see them for more than their chosen loveless choices. He says no to the loveless whilst still holding the person in love. So amazing and in itself deeply life changing.

Matilda Bathurst link

24/9/2017 09:57:21 am

I am so inspired at the moment by our potential to live without judgement (on ourselves or others) and accepting this known potential opens me up to the learning in every interaction.

Serge is the precious stone that reminds the prospector that the treasure has been within All along.

Stephanie Stevenson

31/8/2017 08:54:07 pm

Serge Benhayon has a rare quality of having no expectations of how people should be - he understands in full the mess that humanity is in and reflects in his living way that it is possible for each and every one of us to live with joy – as we are our own salvation out of this quagmire, as and when we choose to make the choices to do so.
“He has the ultimate respect for an individual's free will. He presents commitment without ideology, discipline without judgment, joy without the need for others to choose the same”.

Ariana Ray

'Finding Serge Benhayon, a precious gem of immeasurable quality who has a way of living and understanding the world that changes everything. To say everything is not a piece of hyperbole, there is quite literally not an aspect of my life now that is not different.' How remarkable is that - to find a man who is living a life of such integrity that he can inspire such a change.

Alison Valentine

1/9/2017 11:03:28 pm

Finding Serge Benhayon is like finding the most precious stone in the whole Universe he is the founding light from which we have been able to see that we too can be that light and not the coal that we readily accept as being it. If we take a diamond, No two diamonds are ever the same each one is a precious stone in it's own right each one shining and reflecting light from different angles, this is what Serge has been able to show us and when we can fully live this we will no longer have comparison and jealousy in the world as each one of us will know we are precious gems shining brightly as a reflection for others to see.

Natalie Hawthorne

2/9/2017 11:43:02 pm

Joel this is so beautifully expressed and I used to think that we were all coal until I saw the Light that Serge Benhayon was living. These principles of the Ageless Wisdom have too started to change my life as I am returning the Sparkle that shines so bright within.

Sandra Vicary

3/9/2017 01:40:52 am

"Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal and think that is all that is possible in this world."
Beautifully said Joel. After all, why should any of us shine any less than another, when in truth we are all equal?

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

4/9/2017 06:40:01 am

It is the most gorgeous thing when someone shine brightly and expresses love, joy, wisdom and vitality in abundance, and instead of making you feel less, inspires you and invites you as an equal to join them and be just as bright and magnificent.
Before meeting Serge Benhayon I had not realised this was actually our true expression.

Elaine Arthey

5/9/2017 01:12:46 am

I have found many shining gems in my life and now having found the exquisite gem that is Serge Benhayon I know my search is over. I am loving how my life has changed and continues to change with more connection, vitality and joy.

5/9/2017 09:47:45 am

It is apparent that Serge Benhayon has inspired many to change in ways that consider absolutely everything. And as you share here- 'everything is everything' - we cannot segregate one part of our lives when we are truly willing to make changes

Natalie Hawthorne

6/9/2017 10:01:48 am

What has been exqusite for the last 13 years is to see so many people including myself be inspired by Serge Benhayon and start to shine like the precious gems that they are too. Something so beautiful to feel inside and to see in others.

Sandra Vicary

6/9/2017 10:42:42 am

"This has been my experience of finding Serge Benhayon, a precious gem of immeasurable quality who has a way of living and understanding the world that changes everything." Beautifully expressed Joel, and very much the same as my own experinece of Serge Benhayon.

Adele Leung link

6/9/2017 04:52:49 pm

Life is never about rules. But everyone of us is offered a connection with our soul that is so full of grace. Throughout this process, there is deep beauty emerging from our unfolding acceptance of ourselves, this is an intimacy we are developing with ourselves that every such moment we carry on because it is the love that we feel confirming us to carry on. There is constant deep humbleness in this process, to trust in our bodies more and more every moment, it is very beautiful and powerful.

Vicky Geary

7/9/2017 02:28:13 am

The analogy of diamond and coal is a great example Joel. We either uncover the diamond through how we live each day or we continue to believe that there is nothing but coal.

Matilda Bathurst

12/10/2017 07:31:29 pm

Pretending to be blind or actually taking responsibility for all that we observe... Serge simply lives in a way that shows us the impact of choosing option two.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

8/9/2017 09:14:51 am

These are among the most amazing gifts we can ever offer another:
- to shine brightly in every aspect of life as a reflection of what is possible
- in relationship let others realise that they are the same and what they see is their own essence also
- with your consistency confirm that this is in fact possible in this world
Serge Benhayon has been offering this for at least the last 11 years, ever since I have known him.

Helen Elliott

9/9/2017 04:32:51 am

By shining like a diamond Serge offers all others the opportunity to uncover their own shining qualities and the ripples spread and humanity is awakened to the depth of beauty that lies within us all.

Carmel Reid

9/9/2017 02:18:22 pm

'This is indeed one of Serge’s most inspiring attributes, the fact that he is so deeply committed to changing the quagmire that humanity is in but is simultaneously unfazed about how long any one individual takes to making these changes.' This is one of the aspects of Serge Benhayon that I find inspiring - we often want other people to change to our way of thinking and we want them to change NOW, not allowing for people to choose in their own time. In allowing people the space to ponder and choose, we are empowering them not imposing upon them.

Ariana Ray

10/9/2017 11:30:29 pm

Looking to make sense of this world does make us like prospectors searching for gems, and Serge Benhayon is one very precious gem, as are we all when we live the love we are within with such commitment and dedication.

Sandra Williamson

11/9/2017 12:37:52 am

Presentations from Serge Benhayon are a truly complete understanding of life in every moment, and absolutely delivered with simplicity and grace.

Jennifer Ellis

11/9/2017 08:16:55 pm

And shine you certainly do Joel. Testimony to the inspiration of Serge Benhayon and all he offers, I have watched you unfold something very grand in yourself and to thrive in your life. That is the real measure of another's greatness, that the same greatness is inspired in everyone else, should they accept it.

Ray Karam link

26/11/2017 11:39:53 am

This is the ultimate testimony I would say, someone bringing all that has been offered by way of principals into practical practice in their own life in their own unique way in their own time, true inspiration.

Natale Hawthorne

11/9/2017 10:52:21 pm

When we see such beauty in a stone and admire the reflection it is showing us then we are reminded that this to is there within in us. The allowing of ourselves to see such beauty is the first step and being honest about how it ignites what is within.

Vanessa McHardy

13/9/2017 09:31:55 am

I absolutely agree that Serge shows us how to feel and see that preciousness that lies within ourselves and others. What a gift!

Jennifer Smith

13/9/2017 11:44:52 am

"He has the ultimate respect for an individual's free will. He presents commitment without ideology, discipline without judgment, joy without the need for others to choose the same.

Very beautiful indeed Joel and I couldn't agree more.

Esther Andras

16/9/2017 01:05:54 am

A very beautiful way to illustrate how we see life all the while everything is there always to be perceived in full. It is up to us to see it all or just what we want to see.

Carmel Reid

Every single presentation, regardless of the subject, has gems for all of us. Sometimes things are repeated that we missed before but presented in a new way so this time we get it.

Vicky Cooke

18/9/2017 12:05:43 pm

And I LOVE LOVE LOVE how Serge shines so very very brightly ✨Observing him shine ignites the joy within me and calls my being and body to be ALL that I am. It gives me and others permission to do the same.

"This is indeed one of Serge’s most inspiring attributes, the fact that he is so deeply committed to changing the quagmire that humanity is in but is simultaneously unfazed about how long any one individual takes to making these changes." So true Joel. The depth of love Serge has for humanity, which includes every single one of us, goes way beyond patience as he is able to simply observe that we all have to come to our own understanding in our own time.

Simon Williams

23/9/2017 08:55:06 pm

When we change the way we breathe to a more gentle flow in and out, where we are conscious of our breath and that it is us breathing (and not the world breathing us), then we know that the influence and inspiration from this great man is truly intimate and very personal. It has the potential to inspire literally every aspect of life.

Matilda Bathurst link

Living "in a way that knows that in every coal face there is diamond". What a gorgeous way of seeing God in every moment.

Natalie hawthorne

25/9/2017 12:27:17 pm

Joel I love how you have expressed about your relationship with Serge Benhayon and the principles that he shares. Each word I couldn't agree any more with you because it is exactly what Serge presents. A way of being that is aligned to the Soul and expresses everything from that. I know when you say Everything you mean Everything.

Carmel Reid

26/9/2017 03:57:18 am

Serge Benhayon can clearly see who we are - all of us, our potential, the glorious being within. It is us who are refusing to see.

Sandra Vicary

30/9/2017 05:21:07 am

"Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal and think that is all that is possible in this world." So true Joel. It is so easy for us to get caught up in thinking that the world revolves around us and our own little lives. But there is so much more going on than most of us are willing to look at. When we bring everything of who we are to what we do, the world gets to see us in all our glory, and we get to share all that we are with the world.

jane keep

30/9/2017 11:35:30 pm

Thank God that Serge Benhayon shines so brightly - for if he hadn't I would still be the black 'coal' you speak about Joel. Serge Benhayon confirms to every cell in my body that there is another way, and, that I am far grander than I had ever let myself feel before I met Serge. That shine is true inspiration - a true role model who confirms that we are all the same.

Natalie Hawthorne

1/10/2017 01:42:41 pm

Serge Benhayon's dedication and love for humanity is without a shadow of a doubt truly remarkable. This absolute commitment he chooses to be, the ultimate Light and Love that he is for us all to see and be reminded of this within us too is stupendous.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

rosanna bianchini

"a precious gem of immeasurable quality who has a way of living and understanding the world that changes everything." There is a way with Serge that let's us see both the humanness of how to be in life while at the same time, in every way, reflect that we are far more than we grew up to realise, – that there is a way to live, knowing that we are loving beings. Human beings, whose natural way is to know each other as absolute equals.

Vicky Geary

3/10/2017 02:08:18 am

I would absolutely agree with you Joel about one of Serge's many inspiring qualities being that of the fact that Serge is unfazed about how long any one individual takes to return to living in union with their soul. He knows the magnificence of the 'livingness' and gracefully and humbly reflects this without judgement.

Eva Rygg

4/10/2017 05:58:42 am

'Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal and think that is all that is possible in this world.' - Deeply powerful Joel - let's all get our inner diamond out!

Elodie Darwish

4/10/2017 11:57:21 am

This is so true. One of the many outstanding things about Serge is that he is in no rush whatsoever for people to make different choices. He presents whatever he presents, after having lived it first, and we all see the benefits of his choices, but don't all want to commit to changing our ingrained patterns and behaviours. Serge never ever imposes his way on to anyone.

Monika Rietveld

7/10/2017 11:36:26 am

This is absolutely my experience with Serge too:
'the most powerful gift he offers, is the space to develop and appreciate our own equal ability, wisdom, power and responsibility to live and shine like the precious stone we are.'

Shami

7/10/2017 10:37:36 pm

The first paragraph in this piece of writing is exquisite, because is it not true that a huge part of the human condition is to constantly search with an aim to find. But you ask the question here about what then happens when what you have been searching for you actually do find? And so is it the search we are actually engaged in the most or is it the knowing that this search, your search, will lead us all back to a greater truth?

Monika Rietveld

8/10/2017 10:49:15 am

Serge or anyone else can offer us everything, but it is up to each and every one of us to make the choice to live this greatness. In fact we got it all, the whole universe, and often only say yes to a part of it. Thank God there are people like Serge, Natalie and Simone Benhayon that reflect what it looks like to live your live in full.

jennym

8/10/2017 01:18:24 pm

The search for truth is a returning to and uncovering of what and who we truly are. A message that Serge Benhayon lives, breathes and presents so lovingly.

Heather Pope

8/10/2017 01:32:10 pm

Being the shining diamond we are is not the hard part, understand that is who we are is the part we all seem to struggle with. What Serge Benhayon offers is a way to eliminate that struggle and learn the truth about who we really are.

Monika Rietveld

9/10/2017 10:15:41 am

‘there is quite literally not an aspect of my life now that is not different – from food, to work, to exercise, to relationships to how I breath, everything means everything.’ Same for me, everything gets influenced when you start taking care of yourself and connect to the truth within. With the realization that everything is actually equallly important in life, everything being ‘one life’ things change even more. This means a presentation at work or an exam for a study is equally important to doing shopping and brushing your teeth.

Alison Valentine

9/10/2017 10:18:25 pm

There is nothing that Serge imposes on anyone, he is there for everyone to show us there is a way to live that is loving caring and supportive, instead of our 'norm' which is to live from our individual needs and expectations. From here we can live a life that is true and no longer run by ideals and beliefs, giving our power away to the lies that surround us daily.

Carmel Reid

10/10/2017 02:30:47 am

Commitment is a great word, it requires dedication, consistency, determination, a constant allowing, and interestingly when it is done with love, there is no trying.

Ariana Ray

Lucy Dahill

Yes the reflection is very important, and remembering that we are that reflection is equally important, otherwise the world see coal and believes that is all there is.

10/10/2017 08:55:21 pm

I love your writing and expression Joel and this is so beautiful to read and know and this says it all with the preciousness of Serge Benhayon shining to us " how to live from the most ultimate point of simplicity and grace, and that is to live in connection to the Soul. From there, the rest is up to you."

Samantha Davidson

10/10/2017 10:09:30 pm

I agree. shines inspiration like star but does not get attached to the outcome...of what he shares "This is indeed one of Serge’s most inspiring attributes, the fact that he is so deeply committed to changing the quagmire that humanity is in but is simultaneously unfazed about how long any one individual takes to making these changes." I am inspired to live the same way, live true, with what you feel but do not feel the need for others to get it one way or another, it is liberating and unimposing. We all require space to get it for ourselves, no push, space allows our own personal embodiment of what we feels true, with that real change can happen.

Michael Brown

11/10/2017 02:17:23 am

Serge Benhayon's inspiring factor comes from the fact that he lives in a way that totally rewrites the model of living in our society, and does so with such grace and integrity.

Sarah Flenley

12/10/2017 01:22:46 pm

If we don't shine for each other, then we only see the coal. I love this Joel, an invitation for us all.

Matilda Bathurst

12/10/2017 07:27:19 pm

With inspiring consistency Serge simply lives a life that is practical, engaged and in full service 24/7... we can choose to pretend this is not the case or again simply be inspired.

Leigh Strack

13/10/2017 01:27:16 am

When I first met Serge Benhayon I immediately felt how much my life would change. Not because of what Serge said, but because of what I felt in myself. I was so very right in this awareness, much has changed in my life. But how could it not, I could already feel that I was not living what I knew myself to be from inside. It did however take finding Serge and seeing someone live, without reservation from the steadiness of Love that is within for me to begin to find the strength to do the same.

Nattalija link

13/10/2017 05:16:56 pm

Serge Benhayon offers everything that I have been questioning from a very early age. Everything we say, do and live is a constant refection of energy.

Natalie hawthorne

14/10/2017 03:19:54 am

To be reminded how precious we are in a world that show no signs of this it is super refreshing. Serge not only shows us but he presents and shares all that he connects with and supports you to see what you are putting in the way of being the precious, shinning bright gem that we are all naturally meant to be.

Carmel Reid

14/10/2017 03:24:49 am

Our self worth does not come from outside of us - it has to come from within, by us honouring our bodies and appreciating the qualities we bring to humanity.

Joseph Barker

14/10/2017 11:18:36 am

Beautiful Joel, by presenting the truth and living it himself Serge Bdnhayon shows us we are gorgeous and valuable in a most divine way. It’s just up to us if we choose to heed this appraisal and keep polishing and cherishing ourselves as pure gold or just continue to sift through life’s events like we’re all rough plain stones. The choice is ours but either way, the truth is revealed.

Andrew Mooney

14/10/2017 11:25:36 pm

I have also witnessed Serge's unending understanding and deep respect for people and their own choices to live how they wish. I have never come across anyone so patient and yet he never lessens himself or his message, he never backs away from presenting what he feels is the truth of a situation.

Jonathan Stewart

15/10/2017 10:12:19 pm

Not only does Serge inspire us to shine like the precious stone we are, he also provides us with the tools and how to use them to polish this stone we are.

Samantha Davidson

19/10/2017 02:34:18 am

I agree no 'rules' there is nothing I live now that I have not chosen myself, I have not been told to do anything, I have embodied the changes in my life that are supportive for myself, It was like this lightbulb flickered on and I realised I had a choice for how I was in life, no more blame, victim of circumstance or lack of responsibility. This is the power of Serge Benhayon.

Vicky Geary

19/10/2017 02:57:54 am

It is in Serge's absolute reflection that I am inspired to make the changes that I know only I am truly responsible for. This returns us to the fact that we are responsible and no one else can take the steps for us.

Heather Pope

19/10/2017 09:13:58 pm

The potential we have to inspire one another by just being who we are is almost always underestimated.

Caroline Francis

21/10/2017 11:18:05 pm

What I find interesting is that no words need be spoken I either connect to what is being offered coming though Serge Benhayon or not... it is my choice to align to God or not and not to feel rejection in my own life when others choose to not connect to me... it is never personal but a choice to align to divinity or not.

Sandra Vicary

22/10/2017 10:34:35 pm

"Indeed, the most powerful gift he offers, is the space to develop and appreciate our own equal ability, wisdom, power and responsibility to live and shine like the precious stone we are." Absolutely true Joel. There is never a moment when Serge does not do this for anyone. He very livingness is a constant and beautiful reflection that cannot be ignored.

Lucy Dahill

24/10/2017 10:42:08 am

This is a really important quality that Serge brings, "he is so deeply committed to changing the quagmire that humanity is in but is simultaneously unfazed about how long any one individual takes to making these changes." Because if we have an attachment to the outcome, we muddy the waters for both ourselves and those in our lives making impositions and not offering others the freedom to choose that has been so graciously offered to us.

Otto Bathurst

29/10/2017 04:25:20 am

I am a diamond. Sometimes my surface gets cloudy, scratched, discoloured and when this happens I don't shine so brightly. Time spent with Serge Benhayon or any of his books, teachings, presentations, workshops, readings, audio excerpts (the output of this man is mind-boggling) rapidly buffs away the clouds, cleans the discolouration and polishes away the scratches - leaving me the shinning diamond that I am.

Sarah Flenley

29/10/2017 12:12:16 pm

Reading this today "He presents commitment without ideology, discipline without judgment, joy without the need for others to choose the same.", offered a moment of deep appreciation for Serge Benhayon. That combination is quite rare, and particularly the last one because quite often when presenters are joyous about their topic, it is often laden with 'and you should be so too' and nothing remotely like this comes from Serge Benahyon.

Melinda Knights

29/10/2017 07:48:43 pm

This is exactly what it's like to be a student of Serge Benhayon, it's "not about how to change everything in life but how to live from the most ultimate point of simplicity and grace, and that is to live in connection to the Soul", and that is how all the true changes come about, from within ourselves.

Ariana Ray

1/11/2017 09:40:23 pm

'Serge Benhayon, a precious gem of immeasurable quality who has a way of living and understanding the world that changes everything.' And his way of living inspires everyone who meets him to be more of who we are, all because he chooses to live the way he does - pure alchemy.

Alex Braun

3/11/2017 10:17:06 pm

That is a crucial difference to understand – it is not rules that are dictated but principles being recognized and honoured. Rules are man made, principles are universal and thus the natural way to be for everyone equally. In a world that has waywardly strayed away from adhering to or living in harmony with these principles it may appear as rules because the principles expose the waywardness but nevertheless Serge simply presents and thus reminds us of what we all know anyway but may have chosen to ignore until we choose to not ignore it anymore.

Jonathan Stewart

5/11/2017 11:48:04 am

Yes, understanding this difference is fundamental in appreciating that Serge does not present rules for people to follow and by not doing so he is honouring individual free will.

Alex Braun

3/11/2017 10:19:39 pm

'Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other...' – yes, it is not for anyone personally but all of us together that we need to be the diamond that we are.

Liane Mandalis

4/11/2017 06:40:57 pm

To simply ‘be love’ with no investment on how that love is received or not, is one of the qualities I admire most in Serge Benhayon, for it shows us that our expression of this love is never dependent on that of another.

Janet

5/2/2018 02:10:00 am

Yes indeed, Liane. Serge Benhayon simply loves because he knows and can feel its power.

Jonathan Stewart

5/11/2017 11:44:00 am

"What he [Serge] presents is a set of principles, not about how to change everything in life but how to live from the most ultimate point of simplicity and grace, and that is to live in connection to the Soul." These principles are a signpost and path for each individual to then establish their own unique expression of the same path.

Michael Brown

5/11/2017 12:30:33 pm

There's no use shining like a diamond on your own or with a select few people - we gotta shine for the WHOLE world and show everyone that there is a different way to walk this life.

Ingrid Ward

6/11/2017 08:43:29 pm

When Serge Benhayon presents, and no matter what he presents, there is never a feeling of expectation coming from him that he wants you to ‘get it’. Instead there is a feeling of being gently held in an endless space and within this space there is the choice to accept and live the wisdom he has offered and lives for himself, or not.

The fundamental basis of what Serge Benhayon offers is that we are all in our essence equal. Not the same as we are all different expressions, but equal. From that he holds us all as equal brothers.

7/11/2017 10:16:08 am

Serge Benhayon certainly is a diamond that stands out from the coal. He is a teacher and a student and has shown so many people that there is a different way to be in the world.

Natalie Hawthorne

I too have been blown away by the deep respect that Serge Benhayon has for humanity and no matter who you are or what you are doing not an ounce of judgement. Serge lovingly doesn't hold back in anyway shape or form yet at the same time he never ever imposes on you. This space and free will that Serge is honouring allows us the grace to walk our own path or return. I am seriously grateful that I am choosing to see the Truth of what Serge presents and am constantly inspired to be this truth also.

I absolutely love how you express Joel. And with every word ringing true for me, you have expressed just how my life has also changed from meeting Serge Benhayon and embracing The Way of The Livingness as my religion, the way of living in connection to and guided by my Soul. When this light is re-ignited I am realising how there are no limits the extent that this light reaches and touches all aspects of our lives, our relationships and the world we move through. As you say here – ‘Serge shines so that others might equally shine in their own lives, in their own way.’ – Yes I have been and continue to be inspired to be the light of who I am as best I can, reflecting who we all are, through my everyday living.

I have been inspired to look beyond my own little life and consider others more deeply, our humanity is hurting, pain, greed, illness, issues are rising and the conflict is immense. The weakness we have as a society is that we look at our situation and say "well it is not that bad", we stay separate from each other in doing so, not understanding that regardless of gender, religion or race, we are brothers on this planet. If someone else is in conflict, slavery, poverty, abuse then through our slice and lack of accountability condone it. This does not mean rallying and preaching, it means living another way and when issues arise on our path, working with them responsibly and not turning a blind eye. I know that how I live makes a difference, I know that I need to look past my own backyard and make a difference through how I live, not what I do. Quality matters, it offers another way.

Leonne Barker

Great point Samantha. There is no amount of money or time that delivers lasting change where it is needed. Changes are made through the choices we make and the quality we choose.

So beautiful and so true Joel I love your reflection of Serge Benhayon and its absolute simplicity and depth.
"Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal and think that is all that is possible in this world.
Serge shines so that others might equally shine in their own lives, in their own way."

"Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal and think that is all that is possible in this world"
Serge Benhayon is such a diamond shining so brightly we can not but be impulsed and inspired by his love.

Monica Gillooly

To have someone present love, joy, deep wisdom and a way of living that is simple and deeply supportive of all we naturally are is amazing and that is what Serge Benhayon does, for all. He shows all of us that we are diamonds and that we can live this for ourselves and each other and no matter what he keeps shining lighting a way for all of us to see and to know in a real and tangible way that we can live the diamonds we are.

Gregory Barnes link

What you have shared Joel is illuminating and shines a light on Serge Benhayon, but could it be possible that superlatives do not touch the Truth about Serge?

Ray Karam link

26/11/2017 11:31:56 am

Gee this is so so well layed out Joel. There are people that can write and then there are people that can truly write and you are one of these. The air and grace your words are put in can be described no other way. I completely agree and your words here are my words equally as you have layed it out as I said completely, thank you.

Harrison White

30/11/2017 10:11:04 pm

That really is something amazing, that Serge Benhayon presents on religion, ideology, science and philosophy without people needing to believe the same, this can be likened to great lights of our time like Galileo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Pythagoras and Plato, those who lived from the inner heart. What is so prevalent in our world today is the need to justify your position based on what beliefs we have been sold, and that makes for a life of drive and or misery. I have often heard Serge Benhayon say that the magic is in the mundane things.

13/12/2017 08:17:59 am

Serge Benhayon delivers the gift of science, philosophy and education all in one - working together with the consideration of all of humanity. They way he presents brings a level of real and simple practicalities that can make a huge difference in our lives.

jennym

Just as the stars shine and reflect a constellation to us in the sky, others who live the love and the light that they are, equally provide points of light to inspire and guide us.

shami

20/12/2017 08:25:37 pm

To live from utmost simplicity and grace is life changing in itself, because it introduces the possibility that there is more to life, a multidimensionality perhaps that otherwise would go unnoticed.

Shami

24/12/2017 09:23:51 pm

Thank you Joel for this piece of writing. For many years I have not believed that there was anything precious or worthwhile about me, but since meeting Serge Benhayon this has all changed. And in this change I can see the value of putting the work in to realise the love that is there inside me, because slowly slowly as this becomes re-ignited, there is also a love for people which is beyond words and which I am discovering has always been there too...

Samantha Davidson

25/12/2017 01:27:53 am

"What he presents is a set of principles, not about how to change everything in life but how to live from the most ultimate point of simplicity and grace, and that is to live in connection to the Soul. This is absolutely it, amazing to have these principles to consider in life, a way of working through life that resonates and corresponds to truth and love. I have found it a deeply enriching experience to deepen responsibility and consider life in terms of what do I bring and what is the quality I choose and what is going on with humanity?

Leonne Barker

25/2/2018 10:34:11 pm

This is truly incredible. Serge Benhayon is an inspiration to thousands and the changes they’ve made in their lives speak for themselves. Serge is a constant reminder that we are all equal in our essence and as incredible as he is he reminds us all that we have the potential to live the same grandness.

Kathleen Baldwin

26/12/2017 02:07:37 am

I have always loved the way you express Joel so I feel you really summed up the pure love that is expressed through Serge Benhayon with this line . . . "Indeed, the most powerful gift he offers, is the space to develop and appreciate our own equal ability, wisdom, power and responsibility to live and shine like the precious stone we are."

Esther Andras

27/12/2017 11:24:44 am

"– from food, to work, to exercise, to relationships, to how I breathe, everything means everything." Yes, meeting Serge Benhayon brings purpose back to life in its every detail.

Natalie Hawthorne

3/1/2018 12:20:10 pm

Such an awesome reminder how if we don't take things for granted and truly treasure the preciousness that we are then life is not the reduced version it has been. Serge Benhayon is a phenomenal example of this and he has inspired me deeply to let go more and more and surrender to this quality that we are innate designed to be. What a blessing for all.

Richard Mills

6/1/2018 04:12:02 am

So true Joel. It is up to each and everyone of us to make the choice to reconnect to the 'inner gem'. What you share about being so identified with searching is very important. I wonder how many people miss the gold they have been looking for because they are so caught up in the momentum of seeking? Serge Benhayon reflects that gold that is within us all. When we see this reflection it is time to cease the search and start living it.

Janet

31/1/2018 11:02:48 pm

Yes, I agree Richard. After all that searching, when we find the truth again we then have the responsibility to live it as a reflection for others.

David

8/1/2018 03:25:12 am

Joel, your summation is both beautiful to read, confirms what I feel about Serge and reminds me of the responsibility I have to shine equally as bright. A great read as I start my day "Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal and think that is all that is possible in this world.

Serge shines so that others might equally shine in their own lives, in their own way."

Leonne Barker

8/1/2018 10:24:06 pm

Nothing can take the place of the gifts we choose for ourselves when we commit to living in a truly loving and responsible way.

Shami

12/1/2018 09:38:29 pm

Joel, the initial paragraph of this article is very touching in the way that it describes so simply what a human relationship with divinity can look like. How there can be a constant search that inevitably leads to the light of the soul, only to find that that light was there all along, and all one had to do was to live what is already known.

David

14/1/2018 05:43:40 am

"What he presents is a set of principles, not about how to change everything in life but how to live from the most ultimate point of simplicity and grace, and that is to live in connection to the Soul. From there, the rest is up to you." this is one of the greatest things I've come to appreciate about Serge, its that he doesn't tell anyone what to do, instead inspires in us to connect and develop a set of principles to live all that we are.

Carolien Braakenburg

16/1/2018 07:07:31 am

"Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal and think that is all that is possible in this world.

Serge shines so that others might equally shine in their own lives, in their own way."

This pretty much sums it up Joel as Serge purpose is for all of us to be the divine beings that we are and come back onto the path of the Soul. His joy is to see us evolve and unfold back to who he already knows we are.

19/1/2018 09:20:32 am

A perfect analogy - Serge Benhayon is like a rare stone that we can ignore or embrace what this truly means. There is so much to appreciate in the light he brings, but the question is to what extent do we look at this vs. make changes in our own backyard.

Vicky Cooke

26/1/2018 01:54:35 pm

Such a truly beautifull testimony to Serge Benhayon.

Joshua Campbell

27/1/2018 05:16:43 am

If ever you need an example of someone who truly cares, look no further than Serge Benhayon. A man who truly cares about us all without an ounce of sympathy or pandering of our needs and emotions yet complete understanding and holding of who we are and what we have chosen.

Janet

30/1/2018 11:30:56 pm

I completely agree that Serge Benhayon is the most preciously divine jewel anyone could find, and the immense gift of this man is in his constant reflection of equal beauty back to all of us.

Janet

31/1/2018 10:58:39 pm

Yes, Joel. Until I met Serge Benhayon I had never come across such magnificence and beauty in a human being, of someone simply living fully connected to his soul in everyday life, and sharing the love of God that pours through his heart.

Matilda Bathurst

13/2/2018 02:15:38 am

A man that makes heaven on earth our normal... it does not get much cooler and more inspiring than that.

Janet

2/2/2018 03:13:33 am

Joel, this sums Serge Benhayon up very well - "a precious gem of immeasurable quality who has a way of living and understanding the world that changes everything". Meeting Serge was a complete game changer for me, as he lives and reflects true love on earth.

Janet

3/2/2018 01:36:55 pm

I deeply love how Serge Benhayon has dared to remind us of our divine and exquisite essence, in a world that is far from living that purity in everyday life.

Lucy Dahill

18/4/2018 10:54:27 am

Yes, male or female, we each hold a divine, exquisite essence which we have the opportunity to nurture and develop so others can see it is safe to live in relationship with this divine essence too.

Janet

4/2/2018 11:03:18 pm

Yes, Joel, there is such grace and simplicity in Serge Benhayon's teachings. He shows us that to live as soul on earth is free of complications, stories, dramas and turmoil.

Matilda Bathurst

13/2/2018 02:13:01 am

What Serge shares with, embodies and shows us is a relationship with Soul that is so rich and complete, that our resistance and shenanigans are exposed for the madness they are.

Leonne Barker

25/2/2018 10:26:42 pm

Very beautifully said Joel. Serge reminds one and all that we are grand beyond anything we can imagine. There is no rah rah in this, just a simple reminder shown through a reflection of what is possible when one consistently makes choices based on love, evolution and true connection.

Natalie Hawthorne

26/2/2018 12:12:17 am

The value that we all have to bring to this world is just as powerful and precious as Serge Benhayon's. It takes just one sparkling diamond to shine bright to remind us all that we to are diamonds. Serge has been unwavering shining all the brightness that he is and openingly shares this with all, I have witnessed many people dust of there layers that was hiding their beauty including myself and it is exquisite to see such beauty.

Adele Leung

1/3/2018 03:48:22 pm

Shining is the true purpose of living and with that, life unfolds.

Kathleen Baldwin

1/3/2018 05:33:40 pm

Well said Joel. . "Serge shines so that others might equally shine in their own lives, in their own way." . . . this is so true as Serge shows us by being a living example what it truly means to shine by living a full life with true purpose and joy.

Natalie Hawthorne

3/3/2018 02:58:24 pm

Serge Benhayon is such a beautiful man, everything that he reflects is from his lived way of being and I absolutely love being around him. Serge has no hesitation in claiming how magnificent he is and sharing it all with us with the most humble and loving way. We all are this, it is our choices that confirms this or not.

Sandra Vicary

8/3/2018 12:51:09 am

"The most interesting thing is that these changes, are not derived from a set of rules delivered by Serge. What he presents is a set of principles, not about how to change everything in life but how to live from the most ultimate point of simplicity and grace, and that is to live in connection to the Soul." This is what is so unique about Serge and what he presents. There are no 'have to's' or 'should do's', but only a truth that is delivered, wiht absolute love and integrity, leaving everyone free to make there own choices as a result.

Carmel Reid

11/3/2018 07:28:52 pm

Serge Benhayon continually presents the magnificence of who we are and offers many tools and techniques to help us get past the many resistances we put in our own way

Melinda Knights

1/5/2018 05:27:06 pm

That is it isn't it Carmel, that the power and responsibility lies in us to change our lives, and it's only ourselves that get in the way of our return to soul.

Rowena Stewart

14/3/2018 10:47:04 pm

"Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal" And we are so much more than coal. Thank God for Serge Benhayon who simply steps out in all his tender glory to remind us of who we really are. And then we have a choice, to live like a lump of coal or treat our selves like the precious diamonds we are.

Fiona Cochran

15/3/2018 10:39:08 pm

My life would not be looking the way it is now had I not crossed paths with Serge Benhayon and started to applying the principles to my life. I have gone from living an erratic rollercoaster of emotion to feeling consistent, solid and steady and it is this new foundation which supports me to live in a way that life no longer phases me and I am not n around as eff cited by all of life's ups and downs.

Tricia Nicholson

A beautiful reminder Joel of the light preciousness and shining of us all to claim and be lived by each of us adding to the luminous glow of light we come from and are. "Serge Benhayon, a precious gem of immeasurable quality who has a way of living and understanding the world that changes everything."

Ariana Ray

21/3/2018 11:55:48 pm

"Serge Benhayon, a precious gem of immeasurable quality who has a way of living and understanding the world that changes everything." Serge Benhayon IS a precious gem, his quality is like no other I have met. It is the power of how he lives that is so impactful. We are not raised to consider that how we live can have a power. In fact, we give no thought of how we live at all as long as we stay within the bounds of the law and what is deemed to be 'okay' by society. Yet Serge Benhayon is a living proof that how we live does have power and authority, and the result is he is so very inspiring to all who meet him.

Eduardo Feldman

30/3/2018 03:35:48 am

Gems do not only exist in nature. Some people are gems but how many look back at others and only see them as the gems they are even if they are not willing to shine as such? How many gems inspire others to discover the gem they are and shine?

Zofia Sharman

2/4/2018 10:28:19 pm

Joel, superb jewelled analogy, love this. And equally here your words on Serge Benhayon too: "He presents commitment without ideology, discipline without judgment, joy without the need for others to choose the same" - Serge is the all-seeing eternal, observational eye of understanding and perspective and in this he inspires me every single time, and in every single ounce of expression to realise and as he's shared before that, "nothing is nothing, and everything is everything". This is how he lives. With complete understanding of universal order that is himself and us all at the same time. Remarkable.

Jennifer Smith

12/6/2018 12:02:59 pm

And because of this understanding he is so humble. With this he is able to offer everyone the space to reach their own understanding in their own timing, without any need whatsoever to get anything. Very remarkable for any teacher....any person.

Tricia Nicholson

4/4/2018 11:52:29 pm

Powerful beautiful sharing Joel shining brightly for the world the gift of Serge Benhayon is indeed remarkable as we all are gems to shine and reflect the light that is so much needed and who we are.

Natalie Hawthorne

15/4/2018 09:05:34 pm

This is what I have been so deeply touched and inspired by and thats how Serge Benhayon has the ultimate respect for free will. There is not an ounce of judgment in his bones and all he ever shares is the love and truth that is there to be expressed and shared. Sometimes there are no words exchanged you just feel it. This is remarkable.

Lucy Dahill

18/4/2018 10:52:16 am

Your writing gave me an opportunity to take a moment and appreciate how much of my life has changed since meeting Serge. My relationship with myself and others, with work, with life. There is a commitment to life I have now that I didn't know was even possible. It is through inspiration not doctrine and what a shining example of that Serge is.

David Nicholson

18/4/2018 11:14:38 am

Joel having met so many people who's lives have been transformed through the choices they've made that have been inspired by Universal Medicine I completely agree that no matter what mess is covering us and how much we don't think we are precious and amazing inside, it is there and Serge helps us reconnect to us.

Monica Gillooly

19/4/2018 02:06:06 pm

Serge shines so others can equally shine ... that epitomises grace, integrity and absolute acceptance of another and where they are at, but without at any time denying that they too are from the same greatness he lives absolutely and with the knowing that one day they and we all too will live that. No push in anyway just a loving holding of all we are.

Danna Elmalah

1/5/2018 12:49:53 pm

Gosh what a beautiful testimonial feeling the vibrance of the truth.Thank you Joel. Inspired from your quote deeply so: 'Unless we are willing to shine like a diamond for each other all the world will see is coal and think that is all that is possible in this world. '
How can we live any other way?

Melinda Knights

1/5/2018 05:20:35 pm

Like yourself Joel Serge has inspired and supported me to make many changes in my life, and the way I feel and live is so different to how I was before I met Serge. The main part of the process has been in reconnecting to my soul and then living from that source of energy, which is what has brought about so many changes.

Shami

4/5/2018 08:29:18 pm

This sentence about how unfazed Serge Benhayon is about how long any one person needs to take for their own journey of relationship with their soul to unfold is very beautiful, because by writing it, you have also given the same consideration and understanding to everyone who reads it, so that we can all give to ourselves the grace of understanding the journey that it takes for each person without judgement or need, just a simple acceptance of each persons' path being what it is.

Jennifer Smith

12/6/2018 11:58:21 am

Serge Benhayon shine so brightly so that we may catch a glimpse of our own preciousness in his reflection and then take our own steps to live that in every moment.
