Serge Benhayon: the true World Teacher …

SERGE BENHAYON: THE TRUE WORLD TEACHER
by Rachel Lynwood, BA (Philosophy & Sociology) (UNSW), BA (Hons) (SCU), MEd (UTS)

​What does it mean to be a teacher? We often can define a ‘teacher’ as someone who is the ‘holder of knowledge’ – the one who imparts to us all that we need to know and practically apply to being in the world. We have been taught to read, write, calculate mathematical equations, understand scientific formulas – all of which have their place and serve a purpose in our contributing to society. 
Throughout our experiences in the education system though – have we been nurtured and guided to connect with who we truly are – with a consistent, unwavering steadiness?
​Have we been reminded of the innate wisdom that we all carry within – that ultimately holds the key to living a life that is deeply enriching and gives back to humanity in ways that truly serve?
One learns much from working in the higher education sector for many years about what it is to truly support the learning of students along their pathway; a passage that will lead to them contributing to our society.

​A teacher that is best placed to bring out the true essence of the student is the one who is genuinely connected with him/herself. Serge Benhayon is one such teacher – a true world teacher – which means the depth of connection he holds with himself, allows him to naturally connect with others in a way where he holds 
all equally with love, respect and humility. 
The true world teacher is also by virtue of the quality of connection with themselves and others – able to read, understand and live responsively to what remains unaddressed among humanity.
Such a teacher knows they are not ‘gifted’ or ‘special’ in any way – the depth of their humility and knowing of themselves – does not allow space for them to harbour such illusions. As a student of the Livingness – who has attended Universal Medicine courses for many years – and certainly from an educational perspective, the quality of Serge’s approach to presenting the Ageless Wisdom to students – allows for the student to truly discern, read and make their own informed choice about what is presented before them.
This easily contrasts with my experiences in the undergraduate years of university studies, and also what I’ve observed with some educators within universities. Where there can be or is – the well-intentioned teacher who is committed to working with the students. The eternal gap within this context though – is the absence of connection between teacher and student – which remains an impediment to the student experiencing a quality of learning that has its basis in connection and equality.
The depth of Serge Benhayon’s lived wisdom and integrity allows him to remain steady in his commitment as a world teacher to All that, by choice – connect with and develop their lived understanding of the Way of the Livingness. When one is presented with a teacher who embodies what it is to be truly loving, respectful, humble and wise – it is not something that requires questioning, mistrust or ridicule. For if one allows themselves to genuinely feel such a world teacher standing before them – it is easily known, accepted and honoured – that what this teacher is reflecting to you – is in fact the equal and same essence that is you…
Thank You Serge Benhayon – for you do indeed epitomise that of the true World Teacher who truly serves All …

'Such a teacher knows they are not ‘gifted’ or ‘special’ in any way – the depth of their humility and knowing of themselves – does not allow space for them to harbour such illusions.' - this statement is true to its core - if we choose to understand that there is a way to live with no once of self - then in that way of living there simply is no space for 'self' to exist - and this is what I see and observe in Serge Benhayon - he walks the talk and inspires thousands to understand this is possible within all of us. Nothing special - just a choice we make.

Serge Benhayon is definitely one who epitomises, lives and exemplifies exactly what a True World Teacher is all about. He is certainly not there for any accolades or rewards, for there are no such prizes for standing in his shoes. He simply lives with so much joy from living in connection with himself and others, that there is no need for such things. The connection for Serge is more important than any self-interest or self-seeking ideal that most are living by. The connection is the gold that makes his way of teaching so simple and yet so power-full.

I agree with all that has been said especially about no prizes for standing in his shoes. Serge Benhayon presents the truth and often the truth is hard to take and people react by slinging brick bats at him and much worse. But such is his absolute dedication to truth and his unshakable belief in God he keeps presenting truth to the world. If we look around there are so many crowd pleasers who will say anything to get elected into a position of power; but there is no one out there in the world currently except Serge Benhayon who is prepared to tell the truth in spite of the onslaught he receives from people who want to shut him up. Thankfully there is enough information out there in the public arena that they can make up their own minds about this most remarkable humble man.

Rachel, you have described a "world teacher" in such a glorious but humble way and Serge Benhayon is everything you have described. He stands out for me for all the reasons you have described but I particularly feel the impact in how Serge reads the "unaddressed issues in society" and then presents these to the world in a loving and authoritative manner .

Rachel - thank you for a gorgeous reflection and reminder of what a true teacher is!
Just the other day I was talking to some students and we were saying how certain teachers in our primary or secondary schooling really stood out and were our 'favourites' - and we realised that a lot of it was because they were teachers that actually stopped and connected with us to the best of their ability, and how we had fun together and felt like we knew each other really well. We never forget those teachers.
And then there is Serge Benhayon who takes the word 'teacher' to another level of connection and love and holding - as a world teacher he is that - totally humble, yet all holding of an authority of lived life with integrity, tenderness, understanding and so much more. He too meets people to 'the bone' - there is not one part of you he does not see, and feel and love! This is indeed a blessing to experience and to have in life.

That connection between student and teacher does seem like the first and most important step. To have that allows for the learning that follows. Another important element being a humbleness in the teacher, not needing to be right and not imposing ones views, sharing with equality so others may learn more, not being up on a pedestal looking down. Serge Benhayon is in this regard unequalled from my experiences, though I have met many teachers who create a beautiful connection, and I now understand because of Serge's teaching on connection and equality why those qualities matter so much.

I have has many teachers in my life; school, university, private education, work based educators and then also those who by who they are naturally teach through life, these are they one's that mean the most because they offer something of themselves, what they have learned through life. Serge Benhayon is like the later because he presents what he knows through what we has learned, but it's so much more than that because he is so available to anyone who is prepared to learn and question. No one is ever made to feel less for he sees everyone as equal and with the same knowing as himself. This is extraordinary and a rarity in the world of teaching.

My university experience was as you state Rachel, or a delivery of knowledge without the quality of being of the teacher holding a space to explore learning and to enrich and enliven the process. For me a true teacher is one that supports others to learn for themselves, by reflection. Serge Benhayon has been an outstanding role model in this way.

I have found an inspiring teacher to be one who connects to you. Who holds you as an equal. There is no force or imposition to know but a grace in an allowing with a firm commitment to the purpose of reconnecting another to the wisdom of the teachings through the knowledge as the disposition first whatever the subject. It is an absolute honour to be a student of the way of The School of The Livingness.

Wow, what a stunning piece of writing about your experience with Serge Benhayon and describing the true role of a teacher. I went to highlight sentences that stood out and there were so many! But the winner was this one - "the student experiencing a quality of learning that has its basis in connection and equality." As I think back to my school days and it was the teacher that connected with us that really stood out, much more than any of the words I learnt. But what lacked was that feeling of equality, it is a true world leader that teaches from a base of equality and inspires you to do the same.

I could not agree more Rachel, Serge presents without an ounce of investment in you getting it or living it.... and that allows anyone listening the space to feel and understand for themselves. Wow, this line should be at the front of every Teaching degree textbook! Love it - "Such a teacher knows they are not ‘gifted’ or ‘special’ in any way – the depth of their humility and knowing of themselves – does not allow space for them to harbour such illusions."

"The true world teacher is also by virtue of the quality of connection with themselves and others – able to read, understand and live responsively to what remains unaddressed among humanity."
Often those things are unadressed within humanity which are uncomfortable so the world teachers task and responsibility is huge, firstly to live himself a life which does not pander to his family and humanity and secondly to express what needs to be expressed without reaction.

I agree what makes Serge Benhayon such a great teacher is that he presents as knowing that we are all equal and so equally capable of accessing the same source and information he delivers to us. Serge is simply further along the path of return than we may be but it does not mean we are also from the same source. This is one of the keys to his humility. Whereas, in my experience with most teachers they try to present something which is new so are seen as having more knowledge over another.

Thank you Rachel, I wholeheartedly agree with every word you have written. Serge Benhayon brings to us the missing piece in our quest for education, the art, science and philosophy of life, relationships and purpose. This is not taught from a pre-planned, pre-defined course or syllabus, but from a living foundation that is constantly evolving and thus forever pushes us to new perspectives and awareness on how to truly love, our selves and one another, thus restoring our innate knowing of brotherhood to humanity. Serge Benhayon is a world leader in deed, in thought, in action and in word, nothing is left to chance, everything is delivered with purpose and deep respect, 24/7/365 from a place of solid lived experience and profoundly humble wisdom.

'Have we been nurtured and guided to connect with who we truly are – with a consistent, unwavering steadiness?' I would have to say a 'no' to that question with regards to my own education both in the primary and higher education settings. It was only when I met Serge Benhayon that I was offered this reflection. He offers us the absolute clarity of unwavering steadiness which I have never see anywhere else or from anyone else. Yet this is what he teaches everyone to be able to live, he is ready to point out that we can all do this, we simply have to make our everyday choices to live our way - to bring the light out into our lives.

I absolutely agree Rachel. Serge Benhayon is an extra-ordinary teacher, philosopher and so much more. A whole body experience in learning, in understanding, and from this always an inspiration to look at daily living, and look out into our world to see what is really going on rather than looking out with blinkers and not seeing what is going on. There isnt a day that goes by (and its been the same for 13 years) where I am not inspired by Serge Benhayon, and where the more I become a student of my own life and of our world today the more I understand, and the more vital and contented I become - as I navigate life through my daily living choices as felt by my own body. Never in my life have I learnt so much as I have in these 13 years. In time the life of Serge Benhayon will be studied and shared in our world as there is so much here that we can all learn from if we are open to it.

Although I would like to add that Serge not only lives responsively to what remains unaddressed among humanity he also lives incredibly responsibly knowing that EVERYTHING he does and how he lives affects everyone and the all. Now that's being responsible!

There is a lasting model for teaching in Serge, from an unflinching dedication to someones learning, coupled with an unimposing willingness to allow another their own choices. Walk one step and he will walk ten, step back and there is no hint of judgment or pressure to do anything other than what you choose.

I have definitely brought more into my life since studying with Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and The Way of the Livingness. The changes have been profound and long term and have had extraordinary consequences on both my physical and mental health. I know this is because there is nothing that is shared that has not been lived and that it is offered to me without need for me to take it on, but to apply and test and see if it works for me. That is a teacher who walks his talk is incredibly generous and gracious and shares life skills that stay with you long after the class has ended.

Beautifully said Rachel, it is all about connection and equality and they go hand in hand. And then the question is what are you connected to, and it is when we are connected to God and the Universe that we are all one for when we are in disconnection to our essence we are in separation. Serge Benhayon lives in this divine connection and so his very living and way of being is the greatest teaching and reflection of a way of living that resonates and is true and available for everyone at essence – equally so.

Serge Benhayon walks the talk and through his connection to the Universal Wisdom, we are all, by his example, able to do what he does, in our own unique way, each person offering to play their part of the plan, the bigger picture in life. Schools and Universities of the future will offer a very different experience once it is realised it is not about knowledge of the mind but knowing of the heart.

But today in this world we do have a teacher with us, Serge Benhayon, who presents with all the qualities you have written, and from his presentations I for one have definitely felt nurtured and guided as I choose to let go of all that I mistakenly thought I was, to reconnect to who I am truly am; now that is the hallmark of a “true world teacher”.

My teachers at school never, ever invited me to feel equal to them. Quite the opposite - they constructed and maintained that separation, that feeling of supremacy - some less intentionally than others, but they all did it. Not their fault - it's what the education system encourages, it's what society breeds; even the simplest term "mummy knows best" is laced with the evil of separation. Serge Benhayon smashes all of this because he knows in every cell of his body that we are all the equally divine and wise, therefore it is impossible for him to treat us any less.

"The true world teacher is also by virtue of the quality of connection with themselves and others – able to read, understand and live responsively to what remains unaddressed among humanity." Connection and Response, the two essential qualities of all teachers and Serge Benhayon is a master in both respects. This changes the nature of education for me forever, how can anyone attempt to teach another person if there is no connection or responsiveness, the experience is devoid of life and lacking in true benefit.

"For if one allows themselves to genuinely feel such a world teacher standing before them – it is easily known, accepted and honoured – that what this teacher is reflecting to you – is in fact the equal and same essence that is you…" This is beautifully expressed Rachel. I have found from personal experience that students are always wanting to be inspired by their teachers and they get very disappointed if the teachers they have lack the integrity to do this. As you share there is a huge gap between the well intentioned teacher and a world teacher. There were no doubts for me when I first met Serge Benhayon as to his authenticity. It was unmissable as I was held in utter respect and equality despite that fact that I wasn't living this for myself.

Indeed a true World Teacher, for his connection to all in absolute equalness is always present.

I feel what you have expressed here is really important 'which means the depth of connection he holds with himself, allows him to naturally connect with others in a way where he holds all equally with love, respect and humility.' In that our connection, both quality and depth we have we ourselves, determines the quality, depth and connection we can have with others. If there is a lack of care with and for ourselves there will be a lack of care for others as well.

'To remain steady in his commitment' despite the intense and offensive barrage of haranguing from a few people on the internet in extreme cyber abuse, that is a test of character for anyone, and most would have gone running for the hills long before now. Yet this humble and tender man has withstood all manner of abuse and continues to hold nothing back whatsoever. That is the power of his living way and daily choices.

A testimonial with a depth that is beautiful to read. A true teacher knows they have the honour to teach the children in any subject to support them first and foremost on their way back to themselves. This requires connection to and appreciation for oneself. In a knowing that everything shared is for the all. Each and every question is a question with a profoundness underneath that represents all of humanity. It is up to the teacher to connect to it and answer from the livingness and wisdom that they hold inside. Serge Benhayon in my experience is such a teacher. He does everything that is possible from all he's lived so far to support all of the people he meets. I've never seen him holding back, not answering or slack in any way. This is absolutely magnificent and we're to be proud, humble and deeply appreciative for all the choices he's made and the support he offers to us.

Serge Benhayon is a true world teacher not only because of his deep and unwavering connection with himself -- it is also because of his love for humanity that knows no end. I have never come across someone else who will have the time for everyone equally, regardless of how busy his extremely busy schedule is. When Serge presents and techs from the depths of his connection to the universal wisdom we all can have access to, he does this from his entire body emanating the love he lives every day. And as a student, it is the most beautiful way to re-learn and to open up and delve into the amazing knowing that's there within us.

The reality at present is that Serge Benhayon stands head and shoulders above us all in terms of Connection, Awareness and Responsibility and therefore assumes his natural position as world leader, in full humility of this immense task. Yet in truth we are all capable of this, we all have the same access to the inner wisdom and power within our selves. It all comes down to the quality of our moment-by-moment choices and that is what Serge guides us back to, our ability and choice to be world teachers too.

"Throughout our experiences in the education system though – have we been nurtured and guided to connect with who we truly are – with a consistent, unwavering steadiness?" A great question you raise, Rachel, as it exposes the truth of the present education systems. How they mould students to compromise themselves to fit the system that is being imposed upon them. That there is no true nurturing of the individual to enable them to blossom into their full potential but to be a mere shadow of themselves. Hence Serge Benhayon IS the true World teacher as what he teaches is the nurturing of the individual to fully live their potential and that he does this not through knowledge but through lived example.

"We often can define a ‘teacher’ as someone who is the ‘holder of knowledge’ ". Serge Benhayon has completely re-defined what a teacher is to me. A true teacher is someone who can inspire not by "telling" but by a lived example or "showing". 'Showing' to me is so much more powerful, but Serge does this from a love that is all encompassing and utterly consistent. His inspiration always and completely blows me away!

The word 'Teacher' has been greatly denigrated over the ages and the term World Teacher has been tainted by the various religious takes and our reactions to them. However, Serge is an example of what it is to be a true teacher, he is a man who has lived life, knows life to the tiniest detail, and offers that back to us with the truth that only true connection can bring.

My experience of Serge Benhayon as he presents the Ageless Wisdom is that he presents/teaches it is such as a way that it is simple. The most profound experience for me was the first time I really felt my body understood what was being presented and not my head and there was an innate knowing that what was being presented was the truth.

From my experience the way Serge Benhayon teaches is not as I experienced at school that was just a passing on a carbon copy of what has been before with little to no room to grow or expand the understandings and lessons imparted. The feeling I get when Serge presents is a complete detachment from what is being shared and a complete openness to seeing where and how such teachings can expand through the students own experiences with what is presented.

Serge Benhayon epitomises universality, and seamlessly so – in the way he lives, moves, thinks and teaches, in all ways in short. And because that innateness is in all of us equally so, he can make it very accessible and does so by the way he lives and presents The Ageless Wisdom in its ever-evolving form.

"Throughout our experiences in the education system though – have we been nurtured and guided to connect with who we truly are – with a consistent, unwavering steadiness?" In the past I identified a 'good education' with how much knowledge and skill one was able to acquire. As a consequence of learning and studying with Serge Benhayon I now fully appreciate that a 'good education' is one whereby we are taught how to connect to, appreciate and evolve our inner qualities on a daily basis. Therefore whatever we choose to do in life, we will naturally and willingly bring all of our immense wisdom, care and grace to the table, no holding back, no games or manipulation, just pure intention and immense integrity. The power of this education is clearly seen in the successful lives that Serge’s four children are living, lives that encompass all of humanity and are never about self-gain or personal success, a trend I have the grace to witness in other young adults who study with Universal Medicine, a re-claiming of their power and maturity that underpins their entire approach to work and life with stunning results.

I can remember this from my own experience of education, seeking connection with teachers and adults around me and not getting it "The eternal gap within this context though – is the absence of connection between teacher and student – which remains an impediment to the student experiencing a quality of learning that has its basis in connection and equality." I have also observed that the teachers that my children have responded to and enjoyed being with, are those who make it about connection and relationship first. Wise words Rachel Lynwood.

Beautifully expressed Rachel. I remember the teachers who stood out for me at high school and in my nursing training. They connected with you and made learning fun, encouraged self enquiry and exploration rather than prescribed or rote learning. They were self empowering. Serge Benhayon does this and more. He invites and you to listen, feel, observe, be inspired by, and, if you choose to, try for yourself the way that you can feel and see is tried and truly lived by him. He leaves you free to make your own choices, your own way within this. To me this is a true teacher.

The only reason we don't live the way he does is because we have made and are making different choices.

You ask 'What does it mean to be a teacher?' If I recall the teachers I have had in my life and three stand out. Two I met in school and these two had such a quality about them. I felt they saw I was a real person for the first time in my life, they were life savers and their qualities stayed with me. The third was a man called Serge Benhayon, he too held me with such love and acceptance, and still does. He is a teacher beyond excellence for he will not turn off his light for anyone, but shines it brightly each and every moment.

I agree that in my experience there is a big difference between a teacher who imparts knowledge or information to you as one who owns the knowledge and is passing it on to someone who does not, and a teacher who connects to their students as an equal and in that connection inspires the natural wisdom to come up in their students. The former example feels very unequal and disconnected, the latter is a very humble and honouring approach of the teacher towards the student. In all my dealings with Serge Benhayon my experience of him and his teachings has been the latter version.

"A teacher that is best placed to bring out the true essence of the student is the one who is genuinely connected with him/herself. Serge Benhayon is one such teacher – a true world teacher – which means the depth of connection he holds with himself, allows him to naturally connect with others in a way where he holds all equally with love, respect and humility." Until I met Serge Benhayon, this had not been my experience of the teachers in my life. The teachers I have known have always carried an air of authority about them, and an expectation from thier students to 'do' better and to get results. The difference with Serge is that he never has any expectatons from anyone, and he never asks you to be better than you already are. He simply delivers what he knows to be true and you are left to do what you will with what you have heard.

A world teacher is a lead that a person takes in order to serve humanity. Again we could say that we are all world teachers as we know. We can see Serge as the World teacher as he inspired at this moment in time at first to truly life by the heart and make a business about it, so it is reachable for all. To me this is brilliant - a very different leap than to what we have believed a world teacher might is. Serge is a very humble and loving being that commits his whole heart to humanity. New definition , actually origin meaning, for World Teacher is now delivered.

Very wise and true words Rachel Lynwood. What is imparted from such a teacher comes with no ownership or accolades as a true teacher knows it is available to us all from the Body of God (The Universe) in which we reside but is only accessible when one has fine tuned how to live in such a way that allows this wisdom to pour forth unhindered. Serge Benhayon is a point of light upon this Earth that is showing us in a very human way, how to live All that we are – majestic multidimensional beings – in an very normal and everyday way because he knows how to move in and with the divine order in which we are held and not against it.

'Have we been nurtured and guided to connect with who we truly are?' This is a great question and the answer is a very clear NO! We are taught from young to please others, to look outside for approval and recognition, to be first for others and lastly if at all care for ourselves. The world has taught us a back to front way of looking at life. Serge Benhayon presented an inside out approach to life because he know we have it all inside us. Un-tarnishable and inviolate we are all we are and can be within.

The decision to study with Serge Benhayon has instigated the most extra-ordinary journey of my life. What Serge presents is a life long study on philosophy, religion, science and art all rolled into one huge Degree on the Purpose of Life. However, there is no final exam, no awards or qualifications to be gained here, but what I have learnt and continue to learn is continually expanding my awareness of my self and of absolutely everything in my life. And throughout this study I have never heard Serge tell anyone what to do, nor have I ever experienced him doing all the usual 'teacher' things we are so commonly used to. Serge is simply a living lesson within himself, an example of how we can all live, a man who presents the truth and allows us to engage with it as much or as little as we choose, no judgment. Just as he gives us a new awareness of life, Serge also presents us with a new model of teaching, a true model that calls us to account, for how can we ever teach anyone anything unless we have lived it first.

The depths of his understanding of the needs of humanity are like nothing I have witnessed before. To have all this wisdom, understanding and grace with the true meaning of humbleness is to understate it… unusual!

'The innate wisdom that we all carry within – that ultimately holds the key to living a life that is deeply enriching and gives back to humanity in ways that truly serve.' So we are presented here with the fact that we all have this innate wisdom within, that no one is left out of this - no one- ever, no matter what we have done, said or been in this life. It is innate and un-tarnishable within us. That this is so is hard to accept for many, for we are raised to feel we are less than at all times, clearly the time is now for letting that limitation go.

For me there is a wide gulf between knowledge and wisdom. Serge is the ultimate in presenters/teachers for me because he presents nothing but wisdom. In the realm of "teaching" he has busted through for me some deeply held on to concepts over intelligence, and what this in fact is. I honestly used to think I was stupid despite a degree and a teaching qualification because I wasn't hugely academic, and yet perversely I still held onto to those things because they gave me recognition! The academic paradigm was revealed to me to be the illusion it is - there is very little in it that promotes love or true evolution. As it has been said elsewhere "we are all teachers in this world". This I know to be fundamentally true because when we are connected we all hold a deeply innate lived wisdom that can be shared with all that goes way beyond what we have accepted intelligence to be. When we are truly teaching we are really inspiring others, not simply imparting facts and knowledge. This Serge Benhayon has done for me and continues to so..

I have been a student in many different situations and tertiary institutions throughout my life, and now again as a student of The Way of Livingness. What I have noticed the greatest difference is, when Serge Benhayon presents there is a volume that is delivered that has no need for words, as it is the quality of truth that he himself lives, that encompasses and embodies what he is presenting. This is a quality that cannot be overlooked, as this quality is felt and registered in the heart. And so with these presentations you are invited to discover and explore for yourself how this truth would be lived through our own body. These are teachings that are delivered from a knowing that you too are the beholder of such wisdom, calling us to deeply connect, through our bodies, to a greatness that we all have access to explore and bring to our everyday lives. Serge Benhayon is a true world teacher without a doubt, you only need to listen with your heart to know this is true.

What you write Rachel offers a deep reflection of my own experience of teachers and learning. So many teachers who perhaps have knowledge, or some who have passion, but very few who were able to connect with and understand the students they teach. To bring any subject to life requires the ability to engage an audience, and that audience whether we judge them intelligent or not hold a deep wisdom in their bodies (we all do) that discerns whether what is taught comes from a body that is living with care for themselves or not. And that care determines the connection and the subsequent interest. This is at least my experience and in this regard Serge Benhayon is unequalled in his ability to engage and audience and convey words that are filled with his lived qualities.

'A teacher that is best placed to bring out the true essence of the student is the one who is genuinely connected with him/herself.' To know yourself should be a basic principle of being a teacher and to know that our students are equal to us should be another. They are not less than but equal. That is not an attitude that prevails in teaching, or parenting come to that. Yet it is this equalness that Serge Benhayon takes to both his work life and his home life, holding no one as less, no matter what. For he knows that we all are equal regardless of age, education or status, we all have the same ability to choose how we live and to ignite the fire that is within us. Always our choice, but none are lessor in this.

"When one is presented with a teacher who embodies what it is to be truly loving, respectful, humble and wise – it is not something that requires questioning, mistrust or ridicule." It is in fact the most amazing experience in the world, to meet a teacher who openly shares all their strengths and weaknesses with no apology just a free and open heart. We are so used to accepting teachers as people who know more than we do and in doing so feel separate to us. The humility with which Serge Benhayon presents meets us exactly where we are, no judgment just complete understanding, often more so than we understand our selves. The depth of his care and wisdom empowers us to observe our behaviour and choices in a new light, a light that holds us all equally, so that we can make new choices that reflect the immense level of respect we are held in that reminds us of our innate wisdom and our real responsibilities in this world. There is no subject matter more important than learning how to be fully accountable for one’s life.

My take on a great teacher is someone who sees and recognises your capability to be a master in an area even when you are unable to see it or admit it yourself, and who provides the reflection, example and support for you to develop that mastery. And by mastery I don't mean simply regurgitating information or faultlessly performing a task, but also the deepening of your understanding about responsibility and relationship with humanity and all fabric of life through what you can contribute. Serge Benhayon is such a teacher in the deepest and most profound way.

For a student in fact already has everything they need - this is the gold that Serge Benhayon has taught me. For forty years I have been trying to be someone, learn something, achieve something...yet all along, all I needed to do was reconnect to the everything that I already am. One day this will be known in full and we will look back in absolute horror at what we subjected our children to through the modern education system.

So true Otto, we attempt to fill our heads with knowledge, yet when we are encouraged to connect with our inner knowing, what we are then capable of achieving goes way beyond what our current education system offers. We really have got things back to front and Serge Benhayon maintains a consistent connection with our true reality, empowering us to regain our inherent power, wisdom and expression in this world again. This is the beginning of the immense change that education will go inevitably go through.

The bottom line is that who could wish for a more awesome, immensely wise and open hearted world teacher than Serge Benhayon. And the quality of his presentations just keep deepening our connection, awareness and sensitivity, all the time revealing more truth, more love and more wisdom for us to embody and live.

We often class a 'world teacher' to be that "special one" - the one that has all the answers and can save us all. What is very clear through seeing and being in the grace of what Serge Benhayon has to present with us all, is that a world teacher is something we all in truth can be. And this is so because it is only our choices and willingness to be responsible with how we are within ourselves that defines such qualities to be lived.

"Such a teacher knows they are not ‘gifted’ or ‘special’ in any way – the depth of their humility and knowing of themselves – does not allow space for them to harbour such illusions." And this is not a theory or attitude, its a real embodied quality that can be felt, felt in Serge Benhayon, felt in his family members and others who study with him, a truly humility that is apparent in their warmth, honesty and the quality of their posture and walk. And so it unfolds for others to re-connect to this innate humility that arises from re-uniting with God within.

I have been considering what it mean's to 'serve a purpose in our contributing to society'. Is it to get up and go to work, come home and have our own private life? Or is it to expand and grow everyday and be the light in the world for all to see that living is being the light we are? Serge Benhayon is showing us all how to be the light we are by his own living way.

'the quality of Serge’s approach to presenting the Ageless Wisdom to students – allows for the student to truly discern, read and make their own informed choice about what is presented before them.' How many educational establishments truly do this? There is usually an arrogant assumption that what is being presented has come from a lineage to be respected and therefore believed, but who says the originator was correct? Take Bible Studies, for example, The Bible is a book that was written and translated by people who weren't there, a historical record written hundreds of years after the fact, interpreted and re-interpreted to suit the powers of the day, but it is taught as 'The Word of God' and is the mainstay of several religions. Similarly the Koran has been liberally interpreted by modern extremist groups and the children are taught to live according to those interpretations. So when it comes to science books, history books, philosophy books, what are we to believe? Serge Benhayon has published the 'Purple Books' and these are based on the Ageless Wisdom. We are not asked to believe anything; at the start of each book is a disclaimer that invites us to feel for ourselves what is true or not. I know of no other books that do that.

The richness of the message here has been worth coming back to over and over. Because Serge Benhayon presents what he does with such presence and connection, people feel totally empowered in their own presence and connection. There is no a sense of being overwhelmed by Serge (I often think of him as a brother) and this allows the truth to come through of holding others as equals and of living in one's own power to meet and connect with others.

'Throughout our experiences in the education system though – have we been nurtured and guided to connect with who we truly are – with a consistent, unwavering steadiness?' No, we haven't, the education system is based on training the mind and separately training the body, it does not combine the two, except in the belief 'Healthy Body, Healthy mind' but it focuses on hard, competitive exercise to keep fit. Whilst Serge Behayon encourages us to exercise gently in order to be fit for life, what he presents is body awareness, helping us to understand that by listening to our bodies 24/7 we can learn more about the world and who we truly are than can be found in any book. So far few educational establishments come close to doing this, but it is how schools will be in the future.

You pose the question - does our education system remind us 'of the innate wisdom that we all carry within' - I would say the answer is a clear No. The first person who I found was able to remind me of my innate inner wisdom was in fact Serge Benhayon and he was able to do so because he lived his own inner wisdom. We cannot give to another what we do not live, we cannot talk about anything with any meaning and truth if we do not first live it within our bodies and bring such wisdom from the body from our lived way. The lived way has to come first and then the Universe follows.

Being a World Teacher is not a job designated to Serge Benhayon and Serge alone, it’s a Responsibility he has chosen to undertake and one that should we all choose, we can undertake too. But it requires of us the utmost adherence to transparency, honesty, respect and a HUGE GINORMOUS commitment to Humanity.

Serge Benhayon understands all that and presents truth in such a way that we cannot but feel that override and then it's up to us - we can continue to ignore it or we can make different choices. He does not ever hold back in presenting the truth of how everything is, but he does not tell us what to do, it is always our choice.

Serge Benhayon has re-introduced to humanity the concept of education which comes from a whole body intelligence, rather than simply just learning knowledge and learning how to regurgitate that information from the mind. He has shown by the way he lives and the wisdom he obviously has access to that anyone can access this same wisdom by developing a deeper connection and relationship with their bodies and their feelings. This is a complete revolution in what we call intelligence and education and in my opinion a much needed one for our statistics on health and wellbeing are showing us that our current model is failing us.

Repeatedly I have heard Serge mention that one of the main reasons he stands on stage is so that everyone can see him. Never has there been a feeling that the stage and the floor are separate like two little islands. And the same feeling comes across in the presentations. It's never about what he knows but someone who is living a wisdom that we all do know and can live but may have forgotten and denied knowledge of. Never is anything presented from a place of the floor not knowing what is being imparted.

Understanding what it can feel like to be taught by a true teacher of life, makes all the difference to living. And this does not mean that any one teacher who works in education is not doing their job properly, or that they are inadequate in some way. It just means that the systems we currently have in place, which every one passes through in some way, are not supportive to us as a whole and global humanity to discover the truth about ourselves, and to live and hold on to that truth as the most precious and divine essence that it is. Therefore no one is to blame that Serge Benhayon is so unique in his approach to life and to teaching, his very presence however does raise questions about what we are willing to accept as normal in education.

Meeting Serge Benhayon and studying with him as well as completely transforming my whole life has totally re-vamped my understanding of what it means to teach and be a teacher. My old paradigm was that there was a teacher/pupil dynamic that put the teacher in a place of authority above the pupil and that teaching was about telling someone what to do, what to think, how to behave. But having spent the last 10 years studying with Serge, he has shown me that true teaching is firstly about absolute equality and that secondly it is never about telling someone what to do. To be a true teacher the principles of study need to be lived, embodied and evolved every day, so that the examples by which a pupil learns first and foremost is a living expression, a tangible example and a palpable quality, so that whatever is shared verbally is backed up to the hilt by a lived experience. This allows the student to discern the quality of presentation, to experiment with the teachings and to choose how intently they wish to apply themselves. And then as they do the teaching becomes a two-way interaction, as the lived quality of the lessons will undoubtedly inspire each both teacher and student to deepen their living study. It’s an awesome passage of true learning and a genuine application of the meaning of the word ‘educate’: "to bring out or lead forth" and Serge Benhayon is most definitely leading forth on a world scale.

I know of not one teacher who offers the support to do just 'what is written on the box' as it were, and his name is Serge Benhayon. The world certainly has nothing to offer on this score, but people who claim all manner of things and live in a way that does not bear out their talk.

Teachers I have listened to with my full attention have been those that have to some degree, walked their talk. I can sniff out hypocrisy from a great distance, I used to react to this hugely and become righteous and distant, because I knew it was not true. Serge Benhayon walks his talk, lives his words, and confirms this in his movements and choices. However there are teachers in all of life, if we are open to receiving what is shared, I am more aware that we are all in fact both student and teacher in this life. And those righteous moans and groans where not getting me anywhere, I have committed more to being responsible and living as the teacher I was also born to be (as we all are)....inspiration from a true teacher, Serge Benhayon.

There is an innate ability in all of us to teach, to pass on what we know, but many of us do it by telling, instructing, assuming we know more than the other person or child. Another way is to understand that we all have access to the same wealth of knowledge and science through our bodies and all we need to do to 'teach' others, is inspire them to connect deep within. This is what Serge Benhayon does.

Have we not all been at a juncture where we were able to choose to live for a greater purpose – or not? These moments are been reflected to us when we stand in the presence of a true world teacher. For some this has a cringe effect and for some this may cause averting or even hating the reflection such a teacher holds.

"A teacher that is best placed to bring out the true essence of the student is the one who is genuinely connected with him/herself. Serge Benhayon is one such teacher". I couldn't agree more with what you say here Rachel about Serge Benhayon. What he has brought to humanity is beyond measure and he has done it and continues to do it daily, with absolutley zero need for any sort of recognition or imposition. This is a man who is willing to step outside the box, and to say what does not feel right regardless of the circumstances. In doing so he is gradually waking humanity up to the mess that it has created in the world, and now has to take responsibility for. As someone who has to put her hand up and accept that she has been part of this creation, my gratitude for this man and what he has shown me is off the scale.

One of the many reasons I love Serge Benhayon so dearly is because he does not think himself special or better than, he knows he is equal and from there he is so easy to relate to as he is on the same level and never out of reach.

'Throughout our experiences in the education system though – have we been nurtured and guided to connect with who we truly are – with a consistent, unwavering steadiness?' I would have to say 'No!' to this, that was not my experience, nor my children's experience. While it was not a complete write off, as I had two teachers who were able to nurture and see me for who I really was, they were the exception rather than the rule, and, the system itself did not support any such nurturing or guidance to connect to myself, consistently or otherwise. It was all about fitting into the required box and if you didn't then you were worthless and of no value to the system. I bought into this as a child completely, and no doubt there are millions who have felt the same. Nurturing the value of a child for who they are and not what they produce or do and supporting their connection to the love we all are within - that is how to educate.

It is amazing how being true to oneself in its simplicity sounds easy but then is so hard to apply in a world where we learn that everything is focused on the outside, where everything comes first and the inner truth always, if ever, last. Serge Benhayon brings these inner qualities to the fore by simply living them, where the focus is on every breath we take instead on any outcomes to gain. Where firstly our connection counts and the people, and the outcome is simply a natural ‘byproduct’ of this caring, living and growing together.

Serge benhayon has no space at all, not even one ounce for any illusion. He can not affort to act out of selve in any way , form or shape as this deep love he is living asks to be the fullness he is in the most deepest profound way. And this is possible for us too when we start to make loving choices again in our live. Serge just took the steps a bit before us which it possible for us to see a true way to move forward with.

“A teacher that is best placed to bring out the true essence of the student is the one who is genuinely connected with him/herself.” What you have so deftly called to account here Rachel, is the empty passing on of knowledge – without connection between each other, let alone the possibility of holding each other in true equality as you’ve referred to also. In such a way and system, we are left flailing – masters perhaps, of ‘doing tasks’ and reciting information, but to what avail, when there is an absence of connecting to each other and holding each other in the light of all that we truly are…?
I have found Serge Benhayon to hold people in such love and equality, without fail. To be held in such a way inspires me to the continually expand and grow into the same. In a world devoid of meaningful connection, and true appreciation and value of each other, the relevance of this simply can’t be understated – it is profound beyond measure, yet, rightly, is that which we all deserve to live, experience and know. One man alone has initiated a revolution in all that education means for us, restoring it to its true expression. It is deeply heartening that someone such as yourself working in the higher education sector, embraces this truth and shares it so eloquently herself, Rachel. Thank-you.

For every child there is a defining moment in their school years where something gets broken. I's in that time of interaction where the teacher/child relationship is formed and the communication by the teacher, most often than not unspoken says "I know what you need to know in order for you to succeed in this world'. And hence, 'You are not equal to me, you are less'. The child then continues through their school years and onto life and all this brings, with this nudge, a thorn in its being about them being less by simple matter of fact by the way the world is made.
In this ill paradigm we have created, enter Serge Benhayon and the inequality we have en masse been raised with is shattered. Education has a long way to go, but the foundations for a true way of teaching are well and truly now here, back again, thanks to this amazing man that teaches from his whole body, his heart unreservedly open pouring the endless wisdom that is universally accessible to us all. This is the way of the future, for every child and every person, and for the education systems eventually to completely turn around and become true schools of learning. Thank you Serge Benhayon for activating the true way for us all.

It is golden to look on teaching in this way and what a teacher really is, for me not needing to have students get it, so with a child, I have experienced that teaching style where there is a need for the child to perform in a certain way, to understand and conform, yet there is so much tension in this that I have then been held captive by in my body. What Serge Benhayon displays is none of this tension, he offers a presentation, that is his teaching, and you take it or leave it, he offers gold but has no investment in your picking up the gold, it is there for you is you wish it. How many teachers achieve this level of ease in themselves, I would say there have been few, certainly none in my opinion that access the quality of presentation that is offered by Serge.

'Throughout our experiences in the education system though – have we been nurtured and guided to connect with who we truly are – with a consistent, unwavering steadiness?' We all know the answer is no. The only educational outfit that does this is Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine. Here yes, we are supported and guided to connect with who we are first and foremost, we learn and are still learning 'consistent, unwavering steadiness.' But the role model we have here in Serge Benhayon is absolute in his unwavering steadiness. And from that role model I am inspired to become steadier, which means choosing to let go of the drama of unsteadiness. Serge Benhayon is the ultimate role model.

Most of my life I considered a teacher to be someone who has a level of knowledge or expertise that is more than me. And who sets about passing some of it to me. By definition it would mean me looking up to them and expecting to be spoon fed. Serge Benhayon has turned all of this on its head for me. Because teacher he certainly has been for me, but mostly through the example he has lived and shared. What he has constantly inspired is the equality between us all in our essence. I have learned is that it is not Serge the person that I am a student to, but the multidimensional wisdom that speaks through him, and I am learning my reconnection and return to. I know that the difference between us is the due to the difference in choices of living that love and multidimensionality, not just this life, but lifetimes.

I simply love being in a classroom with Serge Benhayon! What he teaches is very powerful – and has become the foundation for everything else in society's classroom that I then learn after. What he teaches is that I (and every single other soul) have everything within us. Our very particles contain the stuff that is in every other part of the universe. Why this is powerful, is because it immediately takes away the top down approach the education system usually has. That because teachers know more mathematical equations, or what the word onomatopoeia means, or how to spell ornithologist, they are therefore 'better than' or superior to the student. When Serge stands up in front of a bunch of students, he knows within every cell of his body that we too could be doing as he is, presenting as he does, teaching as he does, and we feel equal to and respected by him. To have a teacher from the education system to teach in this way would be wonderful, and is already in some people's lives.

This is what narrows the space for the student/pupil. But how can we ever have our focus on the essence of the other to support them to expand in who they are if we do not choose that for ourselves as we also are not taught that way. That is why it is important that we start to implement this in the school systems.

"A teacher that is best placed to bring out the true essence of the student is the one who is genuinely connected with him/herself." There is no question, by this definition of Serge Benhayon being one of the greatest teachers there has ever been. To witness hundreds if not thousands of people truly connecting to, and living from their essence is remarkable.

The volume of what Serge Benhayon has brought through for humanity for me can't almost be measured. There has been such an enormous communication and practical example of the various ways in which we can connect to and live in loving support of ourselves and each other. I have been so inspired to implement these ways but have found that even just one of them, practically applied, can be life changing!

From the first moment Serge Benhayon began to speak at my first ever workshop with him I felt something come with his words that I had never felt before. I could feel a wisdom that was ageless, and it came with love, truth and integrity. I also could feel that there was nothing he wanted from me, except for me to know that there was another way to live, one that would support and honour me unlike the life I had been living, one that was simply a choice away, and that choice was mine, and mine alone, to make.

Love this phrase 'Gifted and Talented' which is a bit part of the educational system in the UK..... and how you debunk it in the testimonial. Its not a question of promoting one person against another, but rather of promoting the innate gifts and individual expression that lives in each and every one of us. Serge is a master of this evolving education, and those of us that have been fortunate enough to study with him and all better for it.

What I love to observe when Serge Benhayon presents is that he knows we are all equal and have the same access to the ageless wisdom. He brings heaven to earth. The way he presents is in connection to all people, the ones who are sitting in front of him as well with those who are around the world. What the world needs in the moment is represented by mankind and the part of mankind that does sit with him does allow to let come through what they choose to be able to handle. So his teachings are regarding all and the students of The Livingness (he is a part of) and everyone who is open to it, guarantee with their living way what is possible to earth and so, make it more easy available for all.

The lessons of life I have learned from Serge Benhayon go far beyond what I learnt at school that was very rigid in it's subject matter. Whereas when Serge presents he covers all areas of life no matter what the subject as everything is connected and even in digressions from the topic at hand it is all presented in a way that makes it so simple to see that life isn't in boxes but parts of one big whole.

A key point here that Rachel makes, is about a true world teacher knowing that they are not different or special, that there is equality between themselves and the students they teach. I find that as challenging as this may be, to consider myself as equal, Serge Benhayon never falters in his commitment to the fact that we are all equal.

Brilliant to read your words Rachel, something about Serge Benhayon I have noticed is how normal he makes how he lives and serves seem, and he holds himself also as nothing extraordinary even though every move he makes is! Sometimes I get a surprise to realise how extraordinary he is, like reading your testimonial (and I absolutely agree) simply because he is so deeply humble and never ever shows off. He simply lives true equality with all human beings, no exceptions. I can really understand why the term “and extraordinary, ordinary man” fits Serge so well.

The list of what I love and appreciate about Serge Benhayon is very long and continually growing, but there is one thing on that list that I regularly remind myself of and that is Serge’s suggestion that we do not accept anything he, or anyone else for that matter, presents at face value but to discern it for ourselves. I struggled with this for sometime as I was one who loved to be presented with the answers and simply accepted them, but today I know that until I can feel the truth of what is presented to me it is simply knowledge and not a lived wisdom.

Equally I had some teachers who were downright cruel, some indifferent, some terrified of kids and some lazy. Serge offers us by his very way of being a consistency and steadiness of connection that cannot be denied, inspiring us to connect deeply with ourselves, to nurture and to trust the wisdom carried within.

Hi I really like what you are presenting here Rachel that a true teacher does not just lecture or preach to their audience but is constantly feeling and sensing where their class or audience are at and presenting according to what is called for and when. This is an interactive relationship and a much more humble approach then the traditional superior 'handing down knowledge' model of teaching. It places the teacher in the role of a humble servant to the class responsible for the evolution of everyone equally. Serge Benhayon presents and teaches in this way and as a result you never feel he is being arrogant or pompous or superior in any way. He never withholds the vast wisdom or knowledge that he has for personal gain, position or power but freely shares everything he knows with everyone.

True indeed, when you teach children they are very perceptive to what is presented to them. If it's done in a way that recognises and honours their innate knowledge they are so much more at ease and what they come up with is brilliant and varies a lot from each person as they get to explore how they feel to express whatever it might be. And this is how we can all learn and truly grow. In all true schools in the past there were no such thing as rigidity and "this is the way it's got to be" but the teacher was the one that initiated the learning by knowing that the students already knew everything they needed to know, they just need someone to guide them in finding out what they already have within them. Sort of the one helping them unlocking the treasure already residing within, which Serge Benhayon is a shining example of.

Serge Benhayon is a world teacher and he never stop telling us that we come from absolute love and we are all the same, what makes us different are the choices we make as we navigate through life. He has not back down and stands resolute in the face of people who do not hold the same view or opinions and seek to dismiss him as a fake, a charlatan. But he is still there in spite of every insult that has been thrown at him, countless official investigations that have been dismissed. I don't know of anyone else who has been the subject of such abuse to be as dedicated to humanity as he is. Anyone else faced with such an onslaught would have given up. But NOT Serge Benhayon for him truth is everything it is the very breath he breathes and he will continue to reflect back to us true Brotherhood, true love because he knows what he shares with us to be the absolute truth to the very atoms of his body.

To re-connect with the fact that we all are born with an innate wisdom within allows us the freedom from forever trying to accumulate and retain knowledge.

Serge Benhayon consistently reflects that through our own connection with our inner most we are instantly connected with a universal wisdom.

We all have the ability to read situations, and most of the time we do, its just that we do not always want to be aware that we know exactly what is going on. This is the significant difference between Serge and most of the rest of humanity as he not only reads, but understands and then responds in a way that offers us an opportunity to see there is another way, with no judgement and no expectations.

Education has taught us a narrow way of looking at life, it has taught us to fit in, to provide knowledge and ignore the body. That is the fundamental where it goes awry. We learn and fall in line with the status quo, overriding our bodies and refusing to feel what it is so loudly telling us. This is not a great education! Our body has a wisdom that is greater than our mind, so what is the game we are playing to avoid it?

When I was younger I longed for a teacher like Serge Benhayon, a teacher that is not conformed to ‘what should be taught’ but teaches about EVERYTHING in life, firstly energy from a point of truly knowing .. who is all encompassing. I used to feel really frustrated by being taught something in history like 'the battle of Hastings!!' when I could see that all around me we needed to be taught about where we are now and how we are living on a day to day basis. To make it about love instead of function. The relationship we have with ourselves and others is so fundamental and when truly taught by someone that lives this connection every single moment as Serge Benhayon does is an absolute gift of a foundation to be given and a key to have a deeper understanding of not only ourselves but all around us. It is a necessity and something we currently are not taught. From this truth of who we truly are and from the innate divine connection within history, maths, science etc can then becomes a joy, beauty and magic that we can learn because its origin of divinity can then be felt. There is a far far grander and greater picture that we are currently missing. Not only that Serge holds himself equal as all others .. there is zero superiority in his being. This is Serge Benhayon through and through ... a true World Teacher 'The true world teacher is also by virtue of the quality of connection with themselves and others – able to read, understand and live responsively to what remains unaddressed among humanity.'

Rachel, you ask 'have we been nurtured and guided to connect with who we truly are – with a consistent, unwavering steadiness?' No is the resounding answer. For our education systems teach us competition, drive and failure. They do not ask that we connect to anything but these three. You either are the one winner or the many failures and no amount of drive will change that unless competition is taken out of the equation. What Serge Benhayon supports us to learn is a whole different way to approach learning that has no competition or drive and absolutely no one is a failure, as we all learn at our own pace. To be nurtured and guided with unwavering steadiness describes Serge Benhayon's approach perfectly.

It is about deeply connecting to their audience or class and feeling what is being called for at any particular time - a far more interactive process requiring discernment and reading life and people at all times, which can only come from a deep dedication to connection with themselves and to understanding themselves as a forever student equal to their students.

Somethings that makes Serge Benhayon an especially amazing teacher, is how he is able to expand on a vast array of topics or subjects, without end. And, his total and complete lack of need to own what he knows and what he has said - there is no identity in his teaching and in the words he says, he simply passes them on for us to learn from - or not as is our choice. This self-less way of living and presenting is a gold mine of inspiration.

'...the absence of connection between teacher and student – which remains an impediment to the student experiencing a quality of learning that has its basis in connection and equality.' Of all the teachers we have all experienced in our many, many years of education, how many can we say we have felt truly met by? There is always a gem in the pack, yes, but why on earth is the gem so rare? Why do we have the expression ' one in a mllion'? What if there was more on offer, and it was just a matter of us all saying yes to it?

In the many presentations that Serge Benhayon has given there is a constant lesson that is there being shown through the way he moves and the tone of his voice. This language of his body and voice shares with those who are present, an ancient wisdom that far exceeds any need to be seen or recognised - it is clear that when Serge is presenting, we are in the presence of something great. And so, what makes him the world teacher, is the fact that he is willing to allow this wisdom to come though for us all - for if he was not, then his gestures and his tone of voice would be different, self-serving and not anything like what they are now.

You write about a teacher being ' the ‘holder of knowledge'. Most teachers are, but this knowledge is aways learned not lived. The knowledge Serge Benhayon has is not learned, it is lived with all her is in his every movement each moment. I confess this is something I have not mastered myself, but can see how his living way produces the man he is, the man who has the all the joy in the Universe as he lives his life. It is pure gold. Seeing how he lives unlocks all the holding I have in my life that holds me back. Thank God for Serge Benhayon.

Serge Benhayon presents wisdom that has expanded my awareness of my life, my relationships, humanity, the world, the energetic realm we live in, God, the Universe - and the most important part, my responsibility in relation to all of these. Yet….. he constantly humbly lets us know that he is not special, we are all equally divine, the wisdom is not his alone and that we can all access the same source of wisdom. The difference is the choice to live and expresses our Soul or a separated expression that only takes care of me and mine.

All his teachings as well as the transparency with which he lives and shares his life offers ample support to start building our life according to the way of the Soul. Looking at Serge Benhayon and those who are choosing to live as he does, it seems the wisest amongst us are the most loving and humble.

This article holds a true foundation of what is needed in our struggling education system. Nothing more than connection. But not just between teacher and student. Also between teacher and teacher, and teacher and the Education Departments. If people saw each other as the same as themselves and not as a number, much could and would change in the stretched resources we now call an education system.

Yet this is exactly how Serge Benhayon supports – to be who we are with a consistent, unwavering steadiness.’

Serge Benhayon is a true teacher who ‘is best placed to bring out the true essence of the student’ and he is this because he lives with such integrity and willingness to learn at every turn. Having the humbleness to live this way is a rare gift indeed.

Serge Benhayon teaches so many things on so many levels, but the greatest teaching that he has given to me, is by showing how to live without reaction and to instead stay steady and true to the core of who I am. This generates a sense of there being just one life that is lived continuously because of the consistency of the person living it - me. And by learning to live this way, I can see how this benefits others who are no longer imposed upon by my reactive and emotional states and as this way of living slowly unfolds and deepens its quality I am shown each and every single day what a tremendously loving person Serge Benhayon is to be living this in full. So, this for me is how his teachings come to life and are beyond anything that can be learnt in a university because as his teachings gently unfold through life as they are lived, explored and experienced each one gives new understanding, depths and insight to life itself, people, and the relationships that we have with eachother.

Sometimes I think that people have difficulties recognizing a true teacher and my experience is that it's because they are too racy. When I'm too racy I have much more difficulties discerning what is true and not true because my inside is spinning too much. And maybe I'm more sensitive than others, or at least more aware of the fact. You can easily see this in children when we feed them sugary things. They go way out of their natural rhythm.

Serge Benhayon is very open in his manner with how he presents on the subtleties and the complexities of life, and I have found that this enables the listeners to recognise themselves within everything that we have created around us, but what Serge then offers to us is a way to see that all of that which we have created is not necessarily who we are, but rather a manifestation of the energy we have chosen. Therefore, the essential essence that lives within each and every person goes unharmed and when we can re-connect with this essential essence deep within ourselves, there is the kingdom of God there, waiting patiently for our return.

And to me Serge Benhayon is a person who doesn't talk at you, he holds everyone in a deep respect presents what is needed and then leaves us all to digest what has been said and by our own free will come to an understanding of the ancient wisdom. He also leaves no one behind if you do not understand something he will always say it in a way that everyone understands which is amazing considering all the diversity of nationalities in the room.

In our current education system it is fairly rare to find teachers who can support kids to connect with themselves and their inner wisdom. This is partly because the system is so imposing and has such strict requirements that teachers are not given the space to explore this with kids. Its all about results and making the school(s) look good. The other reason is that almost all of us have had this connection crushed in us at an early age, where we learnt to wait to be filled up by education. The teachers themselves have lost this quality to share and empower the kids to develop. Serge Benhayon is the one teacher I have met who holds us all as equal and puts connection first before all else.

The mark of a great teacher is someone who does not make you feel lacking and desperate about becoming something, but one who supports you with knowing and appreciating the wealth of quality you can naturally bring and building the practical skills and knowhow required for you to offer that to the world.
Yet a teacher can only teach that which he or she has already mastered. When you come across a teacher as in Serge Benhayon and some other members of his family who:
- do not ever drop below the expression of the Soul in every aspect of life,
- who live an absolute commitment to serving humanity with every breath,
- who are completely transparent so you can use them as a role models and learn the practicalities of how to live the same,
- and who only ever see and relate to you as an equal Son of God,
you know you are in the presence of a World Teacher.

There is no doubt Serge is a world teacher and there have been many before, the thing that often gets in the way of fully embracing this is to appreciate and see our part in this.

I had heard, and used, the word ‘inspired’ many times in my life and honestly felt that I had been inspired by a few people. That was until my first workshop with Serge Benhayon, when I realised that for the first time ever in my life I was being truly inspired as my whole body began to respond to the way this humble man was presenting to us. It felt like I was being woken up from a long sleep and that it was time to start living again. Thirteen years on and Serge is still inspiring me.

When we have a true world teacher in front of us, what do we do with it? It's a question that I've been asking myself and one that is very pertinent given Serge and his role as world teacher.

"Have we been nurtured and guided to connect with who we truly are/' I would say that the answer to this for most of us is no. Yet the potential is there for us all.

It is well worth our while to consider what it is we are teaching and learning as a humanity. You raise some brilliant points here for us all to ponder on Rachel. For is it not far more purposeful to for us to learn to live in the power of who we are in essence, to live the full potential of our Soulful being, in a unified way with love and truth as the foundations of all we do? The potential of being a mighty civilisation resides within us all, in being who we are. It is a blessing to have a world teacher walking amongst us, Serge Benhayon, that without compromise presents the truth of all that we are, and all that we are here for together.

Indeed Carola, we are not always discerning well enough what we are learning and why we are learning it. What is the purpose is mostly settled within ourselves as being needed to fit into life. But is this true, do we need to fit into life of are we allowed to find our true essence and from there learn our way in life?

I agree for sure learning knowledge can serve a purpose and be a totally necessary thing, but I love how you share that with that we need to also equally nurture the connection with our innate wisdom to assist us with applying said knowledge in a way that benefits us all. And it's super important to know that our worth and equal standing to all others, no more or less, is there from the get-go and not something we acquire through a certificate. Serge Benhayon is an exemplary teacher, sharing and imparting great wisdom whilst holding himself as an absolute equal to all others, nurturing each person's inner-connection with the universal wisdom we all have access to.

You pose a great question here Rachel, 'What does it mean to be a teacher?' And Serge Benhayon is a living demonstration of the answer., for he lives everything he presents. He does not separate his life as teacher from the rest of his life. That is the commitment, integrity and responsibility he lives each day.

The equality that Serge Benhayon presents with when he presents is stunning. Never in any other situation have I been given the grace and the understanding to be exactly who I am and to be exactly where I am at with regards to my learning journey through life. It is like being held by something, an energy perhaps, that knows who you are and does not judge or condemn you for acting or moving in ways that are not true to you - you simply continue to be held. So all the knowledge and wisdom that he presents is done so with out an expectation that I will instantly get it or understand it, but it is presented anyway because there is never ever any doubt that my understanding will, eventually, come to the fore. And, as I understand it, Serge is able to do this because he is not invested in the outcome of his presentations - in anyone getting it straight away - because he understands the processes of coming back to one’s soul, and therefore would never judge or condemn a person for the journey they are on within all of this.

Returning to this testimonial I absolutely agree Rachel that Serge Benhayon is a true role model for equality - when in the room with Serge you never feel you are less - or that he is the one with the knowledge - you always feel equal - which is quite a different experience than the other experiences I have had in educational establishments.

The concept of a true world teacher is one that I find fascinating, because in the past growing up under the catholic religion I viewed a world teacher as being someone that saved me by doing everything for me and making the world amazing, yet what that left me with is being powerless. its great to actually see through what a world teacher is and appreciate how when there is someone who is able to inspire you to heal yourself and transform your life to such a degree that you then inspire others to equally change their lives you have a true world teacher.

A hallmark of a true teacher is equality and the simple fact that we each have access to Di ivine wisdom. No one is special but we are all amazing.

A true teacher is prepared to ruffle a few feathers and does not accept or allow comfort of lies into their life. They know that if they do then what they are teaching or presenting to others through their way of living is asking them to live lies too and not embrace the truths of life.

I have studied with many teachers over my years and I have never experienced a teacher like Serge Benhayon. His depth of understanding people, life and the universe is none like I have ever experienced. It's not that he knows everything, for its not about that. But as an equal student of life he is able convey's his understandings in a way that can be very practically applied through life. He sees himself as no better, but knows from his understandings that he is able to support people in their own studentship of life.

The way Serge Benhayon is teaching was completely new to me from earlier experiences I had form my teachers in the past. The teachers in the past taught me in a way that I felt less to the teacher because they taught me something I did not knew. But the way Serge teaches is so different, he teaches such that he makes me feel completely equal and reminds me of something I do already know and only needs to be rekindled.

Reading this today I see how separate society is because we measure ourselves and compare against each other, therefore, believing we are better than or less than others. This is what I see in the education system, not intentionally chosen by many Teachers but there is a consciousness that a Teacher knows more. We all feel and sense that it is there and either play the game by being less or strive to be better. When a Teacher (World Teacher) like Serge Benhayon stands before you in absolute equality there is no energy or need to compete because you are presented with all you are.

"Such a teacher knows they are not ‘gifted’ or ‘special’ in any way – the depth of their humility and knowing of themselves – does not allow space for them to harbour such illusions." I am often blown away by Serge Benhayon's presentations in which there are often 100's of people in front of him some traveled long and far to see him and there is never ever one ounce of arrogance or superiority - Serge Benhayon is the world teacher - he is here to reflect to us all the divinity we are from.

Sere Benhayon is an amazing presenter, yes for what he presents, but one of the things that I very much appreciate is how he can present the same thing over and over, but in different ways and not have any attachment to us 'getting it'. Yes he consistently supports our understanding and will give us many opportunities to ask questions. There is no impatience whatsoever. He is just so available and open.

Serge Benhayon is indeed a world teacher. But it also took me time to realize this. Probably also because I have been conditioned by the images and believes how great leaders should look like: delivering great inspiring, uplifting speeches to big audiences, being charismatic personalities, things like that.
Serge has non of that, he is so normal, not setting himself apart from anyone, being extremely humble.

In secondary school I was in a private school that prized their test results more than the students. As such I was removed from many subjects for my final exams to avoid impacting negatively on the schools reputation. With Serge Benhayon there is none of this as he never looks down on you or judges you as being unable to understand all that he does. Such love and understanding that I am equal to him, as everyone else is, allows each person to come to equal understanding in their own time.

This man Serge Benhayon meets you, the student, as his equal.

What an interesting read Rachel, to look at Serge Benhayon from the perspective as a teacher, being a teacher yourself. Looking back to my University years, the way Serge Benhayon teaches is indeed contrary how normal teaching is done, where a teacher hold themselves as superior because the knowledge they think they own, making students feel less. Serge Benhayon does no such thing, as he holds and actually sees everyone as an equal.

To be truly nurtured and loved whilst being educated is not something I experienced much in my education at school or university. There is often more a feeling of rivalry, competition and having to be the best in order to get some recognition from the teacher in that way. I can see now though that it is actually way more effective to be in a environment where you are nurtured, loved and seen without having to prove yourself first. Being truly held, loved and met brings out the best in people, it brings out them, because then we just focus on what we can bring instead of how to get the most attention.

The quality of learning afforded by Serge Benhayon by the quality of lived life that he brings to it is a key quality that we can all unfold and develop with too.

I am sure that I can say, that there will have been very few of us, if any, who during our years in the education system have “been nurtured and guided to connect with who we truly are”. I certainly wasn’t one, either at school or at home. I learnt maths, English, history and even Latin, but none of these subjects prepared me for life. So how blessed are we to have Serge Benhayon in our midst at this point in time to offer us a true education, one that shares with us who we truly are, what living in this world is all about and the fact that we are all equal sons of God, no one lesser, no one greater, all unique and all absolutely amazing.

If you are challenged by the phrase "world teacher" i would ask you to consider why? Is there an ego that is being challenged, or a perception of what the "world teacher" means? If we are sold out to an idea of what something means, which is far from the truth, then when we hear the words we often react completely based on our own interpretations. With that in mind, it is worth considering where our reactions to things such as Serge being the World Teacher come from.
