Serge Benhayon – the true World Teacher

Serge Benhayon: the true World Teacher …

17/9/2016

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.

Great to read your testimonial Rachel, so lovely to feel the appreciation from someone who has a great deal of experience in teaching, acknowledging Serge Benhayon with all the qualities that he brings as the world teacher.

And the simplicity that it offers all in knowing that teaching is far from the model that we are running with on the current world arena.

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.

Thank you Joshua for sharing this as I agree with all you have expressed. It is certainly a joy to see a man living and expressing all that he lives and this is always felt in Serge's presentation. Serge Benhayon is without question a world teacher in my eyes.

When I read your comment Joshua talking about Serge Benhayon and the line 'He is certainly not there for any accolades or rewards, for there are no such prizes for standing in his shoes.' I really felt the simplicity of this humble man who truly knows and shares the truth of life and love.

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.

Yes the feeling is felt to the bone as the level of commitment to humanity and for all with divine equalness is paramount in what Serge Benhayon walks and talks.

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 .

Fiona Pierce

16/9/2016 12:25:41 pm

The depth of connection that Serge Benhayon brings is super inspiring because of the true humility that he naturally holds too, it makes that connection very accessible and relatable to as you can see how it is a reflection of what we all can choose to build in our lives.

Nattalija link

Relatable beyond belief and each word shared holds everyone in equalness whilst at the same time sharing the levels of responsibility we are called to live in brotherhood.

Henrietta Chang

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.

Stephen Gammack

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.

Jennifer Smith

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.

Heather Pope

29/10/2016 01:29:57 pm

The power of lived experience cannot be denied, and this is what Serge Benhayon offers.

Simon Voysey

16/9/2016 01:57:46 pm

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.

Rik Connors

16/9/2016 02:05:35 pm

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.

Sarah Flenley

16/9/2016 02:48:09 pm

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.

Aimee Edmonds

16/9/2016 05:39:59 pm

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."

Kerstin Salzer

"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.

David Nicholson

2/4/2018 03:25:04 am

Kerstin, that is so true it is all the things that are left unaddressed that deeply affect us as in many of these cases we bury and ignore what is unignorable in the long run.

James Nicholson

16/9/2016 07:07:09 pm

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.

Mary Adler

16/9/2016 07:41:00 pm

Serge Benhayon presents and shares an innate wisdom that comes from a connection through his body to the Ageless Wisdom of the Universe rather than through a learned knowledge that is so often spouted at university.

Heather Pope

29/10/2016 01:31:40 pm

I have constantly been astonished at the amount of understanding of the world Serge Benhayon has, it is clear he is not learning from books,or courses, but from that inner innate wisdom that is little understood in society, but available to all.

Rowena Stewart

16/9/2016 08:56:23 pm

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.

Jonathan Stewart

16/9/2016 09:05:21 pm

When I first encountered Serge Benhayon I was struck by his calm, reassuring, friendly, assured yet completely unimposing presence, not only with me but with everyone equally as he presented and instructed. As I have come to know him over the years my depth of respect and love for him has only constantly deepened as I have come to appreciate his depth of wisdom and humility. He is a true World Teacher.

Ariana Ray

16/9/2016 09:11:56 pm

'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.

Jane Keep

16/9/2016 09:28:53 pm

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.

To be a world teacher means that you are accessible for all. This is something I wondered, as a kid, how is this possible for God: to be accessible for all equally?
Study the life of Serge Benhayon – and you'll know it.

Janet Williams

16/9/2016 10:22:44 pm

Serge Benhayon is indeed a teacher with a difference - he is teaching the world how to re-connect to their innate love and all-knowingness. Just as he has reclaimed for himself, he demonstrates by way of living how it is possible to bring heaven to earth.

Heather Pope

13/8/2017 01:26:06 pm

Demonstration through lived quality needs no performing, but rather just living as that quality says everything.

Katerina Nikolaidis

16/9/2016 10:23:29 pm

Truly gorgeous Rachel, and what you so eloquently share has been my lived experience also for the many years I have now been a student of Universal Medicine. True education is now something I have felt deeply and it will stay with me forever, and it is what all of humanity ought to have -- true teaching as exemplified by Serge Benhayon that activates your own inner teacher and wisdom. To have this now as a marked experience that will never leave me is something I cherish every single day.

Vicky Cooke

17/9/2016 12:32:44 am

Serge Benhayon is indeed a world teacher. Absolutely. And I agree with everything you have said here especially '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.' 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!

Joel Levin

17/9/2016 04:44:51 am

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.

17/9/2016 06:42:47 am

Thank you Rachel Lynwood, your heart is so open to what a world teacher is, that you have been able to describe it beautifully here with an incredible clarity that brings the life of a world teacher sharply in to perspective for all of us to greater understand.

Heather Pope

17/9/2016 10:18:27 am

The equality with which Serge Benhayon holds everyone shows he is a world teacher, without any doubt.

Heather Pope

17/9/2016 10:21:16 am

When a teacher can present a hypothesis, but 100% allow you to decide what you feel about that view, whether it sits well with you, and whether implementing it in your life feels right, you know you are in the midst of greatness. Such is the case with Serge Benhayon.

Lieke Campbell

17/9/2016 10:54:02 am

Very beautifully written Rachel. It is the connection that is to be put first for any knowledge to be shared and taught to be of true value for the student. This is something Serge Benhayon does so beautifully.

Heather Pope

17/9/2016 10:57:07 am

Serge Benhayon supports people to uncover the majesty of who they are, and that is not just some people, but anyone who wants to live a life of truth.

Annelies van Haastrecht

Such a beautiful ending of a testimonial Rachel '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 absolutely my experience in all the years I know Serge Benhayon and he keeps inspiring me every day.

Lucy Dahill

17/9/2016 11:21:16 am

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.

Nicola Lessing

17/9/2016 11:37:46 am

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.

Lorraine Harris

17/9/2016 01:21:29 pm

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.

Rosie Bason

17/9/2016 01:22:25 pm

I love how Serge Benhayon does not consider himself better than, gifted or special. He is an equal and as such, the best teacher I know because I can understand and relate to everything he presents so simply and clear.

David Nicholson

2/4/2018 09:50:43 pm

Rosie I hear you on this and agree completely, that equality part is one of the most humbling aspects of any conversation with Serge and something that I am constantly touched by.

Christine Hogan link

Rachel, your comment - ' 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 sums up the level of integrity, humility and commitment a world teacher brings in their deep love and support of all students and this has been so true of Serge Benhayon. This blog is a confirmation of all I have also experienced in the presentations Serge Benhayon has offered Humanity.

jeanette macdonald

17/9/2016 03:28:30 pm

Your words are beautiful and very true Rachel, and these I love because they have been my experience time and time and time again - "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…"

Ingrid Ward

17/9/2016 07:28:41 pm

“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?” This is a great question Rachel, and one that I feel very few, if any, will answer with a yes; my answer will without hesitation be a no! 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”.

andrew upfill

17/9/2016 08:40:06 pm

Serge Benhayon is inspirational from the point of view that learning can be achieved without imposition with 'should' or 'should nots'. Just awareness and the opportunity to make choices that are reflected from his connection to self and others. Simple and inspirational. Life changing.

David

10/10/2018 10:35:38 pm

Agreed Andrew, I'm very much learning that by being open and aware in discussions that way forward is presented and that I am not to control this but be in connection with myself and others to reach a deeper understanding about life and everything therein.

Otto Bathurst

17/9/2016 09:08:57 pm

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.

Heather Pope

29/10/2016 01:32:56 pm

When you live an equality, you can be that model for others, this is what Serge Benhayon offers.

Otto Bathurst

17/9/2016 09:32:14 pm

The way Serge Benhayon leads and teaches has totally changed the way I lead in my job as a Film Director and my path as a father. Totally. I'm still learning but, thanks to him, I am a zillion times better at both than I was before I met him. Thanks Serge.

"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.

Michelle McWaters

17/9/2016 10:33:36 pm

"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.

Jonathan Stewart

17/9/2016 10:45:04 pm

“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.” This is a great truism to have identified and Serge Benhayon most definitely exemplifies this in every breath and action he takes.

Carmel Reid link

17/9/2016 10:52:55 pm

The way Serge Benhayon presents is inspiring - he does not quote learned knowledge at us, he lives every word of what he presents, and he inspires us to look for ourselves, to discover, to explore, to feel what is there to be felt and to know that through our deepest connection we can know everything that he knows. Indeed a true World Teacher, for his connection to all in absolute equalness is always present.

Vicky Cooke

17/9/2016 11:12:24 pm

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.

Ariana Ray

'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.

Floris van der Schot link

18/9/2016 10:26:02 am

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.

Katerina Nikolaidis

18/9/2016 03:15:01 pm

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.

Kerstin Salzer

18/9/2016 07:26:49 pm

".....such a teacher knows the are not special or gifted in any way......"
Serge Benhayon is the most loving and humble man I know. He is a world teacher but not a guru who needs followers but a teacher who is presenting to people in a way so that they come to an understanding that they are equal to him.

Rowena Stewart

18/9/2016 08:26:18 pm

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.

Jonathan Stewart

18/9/2016 08:35:43 pm

"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!

rosanna bianchini

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.

Rebecca Briant

19/9/2016 09:23:57 am

I couldn't agree more - Serge's teaching approach is a breath of fresh air and so supportive - he walks the talk so to speak and in that his reflection can be the greatest teacher, for without even opening his mouth he is showing you true love in every movement.

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.

Leigh Matson

19/9/2016 11:13:33 am

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.

Gabriele Conrad

19/9/2016 01:28:19 pm

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.

Heather Pope

29/10/2016 01:34:29 pm

The way Serge Benhayon lives is the reason he can present the Ageless Wisdom. This is a lesson for us all.

Felix Kremer link

19/9/2016 08:35:30 pm

I always wondered if I would be able to recognise a world teacher when he or she was before me. What I found revealing in meeting Serge Benhayon is that we meet as equals, there is no admiration of someone standing higher to me.

Janet Williams

19/9/2016 08:58:05 pm

As a world teacher, Serge Benhayon is showing and reminding us of a way of being that is lived with every cell in his body every day. This way is all about love, and it teaches us about why the world is as it is today, and how we can get back to the truth of who we are.

Rowena Stewart

19/9/2016 09:59:10 pm

"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.

Samantha Davidson

19/9/2016 10:30:21 pm

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.

jeanette macdonald

20/9/2016 02:06:12 am

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.

Nikki McKee

20/9/2016 11:21:12 am

This is incredibly beautiful to read. Serge is a teacher who teaches by way of what he lives. What comes out of his mouth is extremely powerful but not because of the words. It is because of what he lives. Knowledge from the head is one thing, but wisdom from the body is another.

Carmel Reid link

20/9/2016 02:01:13 pm

' that what this teacher is reflecting to you – is in fact the equal and same essence that is you…' This is the extraordinary way Serge Benhayon teaches, because he does not claim to be special, does not use any power plays, making out he is better than us, no, his whole way of teaching is underpinned by the knowledge that we can do exactly what he can do because we are equal to him in every way. The only reason we don't live the way he does is because we have made and are making different choices.

Ariana Ray

20/9/2016 09:54:31 pm

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.

Andrew Mooney

20/9/2016 10:07:48 pm

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.

Simon Voysey

20/9/2016 11:31:32 pm

In Serge Benhayon we have a role model wherein every movement, gesture and word can offer learning because it attended to by the fullness of a man living life with his heart totally open to humanity. When this comes with all the humility of a person not seeking anything in return, it is very power-full.

Sandra Vicary

21/9/2016 02:20:54 am

"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.

Otto Bathurst

21/9/2016 03:10:22 am

Not necessarily related to this blog but just want to express my wonderment at, and appreciation of, the photograph of Serge Benhayon at the top of this page. Through those eyes, I can know everything that I am.

Danna Elmalah

21/9/2016 03:51:44 am

Absolutely their is so much rara around World Teacher, and how they are above everyone and everything.. but since I met Serge I have questioned myself if that belief was true, and I found out that it is nt. 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.

Joseph Barker

21/9/2016 10:47:06 am

Have you ever been around someone where just spending time with them feels like you are growing? You may not discuss anything particular, but just their presence lifts you up? Just by returning and being them we learn, as if through the memory of our cells, something important that goes well beyond words. This is how I feel about Serge Benhayon, and the quality his books, voice and emails keep. As you beautifully say Rachel, Serge is showing us that our presence can also teach, when we make our life about truth and studying Love in every moment, not just in a book.

Liane Mandalis

21/9/2016 12:36:25 pm

”…that what this teacher is reflecting to you – is in fact the equal and same essence that is you…”

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. There is much to learn from this great man for this greatness is in us also.

Heather Pope

29/10/2016 01:36:51 pm

The fine tuning you speak of Liane is something that takes health and wellbeing to a whole different level, for it speaks of living in a way that is connected to much more than we think from within our single and separate bodies.

Danna

21/9/2016 03:46:33 pm

That is so true Rachel! 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 reflection is saying to us : we should always connect and never go away from it , for in this way we learn our essence and meet our Soul - again and again and again.

Felix Kremer link

21/9/2016 06:49:26 pm

Serge Benhayon – in the way he is and with a few words – revealed to me the purpose of life. This for me is a priceless gem that I will polish for the rest of my life.

Jonathan Stewart

21/9/2016 08:12:55 pm

The present system of education is one channels the student into a particular way of understanding and thinking, while Serge Benhayon "allows for the student to truly discern, read and make their own informed choice about what is presented before them" - this is true teaching.

Ariana Ray

21/9/2016 09:38:40 pm

'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.

Rowena Stewart

21/9/2016 09:41:14 pm

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.

Sarah Flenley

22/9/2016 01:38:51 pm

When you wrote about how Serge Benhayon is deeply connected to himself and that is how we can connect to others, it made so much sense. I am learning that it must start with ourselves first.

Simon Williams

22/9/2016 08:59:48 pm

I've come across good teachers before and noticed that the difference is that they had a combination of both experience of their subject matter and a care in transmitting that. However, I've never come across the depth of lived experience in LIFE that Serge Benhayon has, and shares so freely, and so equally. To be a good teacher is great for a student, but to be a world teacher is something truly special for all of us.

Gabriele Conrad

22/9/2016 09:28:49 pm

Serge Benhayon is second to none in the way he connects to people and imparts The Ageless Wisdom; not from a position of knowledge as something harboured in the head and regurgitated but from a deep connection to the body and an unshakeable livingness of the truth.

Rachel Murtagh link

22/9/2016 10:07:43 pm

"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." There is no question that Serge is a true world teacher. The connection he has to himself and others are like nothing I have witnessed before. 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! Add to this Serge's endless humour that can have a whole room rocking with laughter, coupled with his loving tone that can pull everyone up in their seat makes me want to listen to him all day long.

Jane Keep

22/9/2016 10:28:46 pm

So beautifully said Rachel "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." I whole heartedly agree. Serge Benhayon is an extraordinary man, a true world teacher.

Felix Kremer link

22/9/2016 10:36:22 pm

The only true connection is the one I hold to myself and therein lies the connection to all equally. This leaves no space to be favoring for one or the other student. This is felt in the student body around Serge Benhayon, he favors no one before the other.

Ariana Ray

22/9/2016 10:44:24 pm

'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.

Michelle McWaters

23/9/2016 02:45:31 am

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..

Rebecca Briant

23/9/2016 02:55:13 am

Teaching by example, something Serge lives everyday, the knowing that far greater than empty words is words backed up with a livingness that people can see and relate to, practical real life walking the talk

Sara Harris

Lieke Campbell

23/9/2016 09:20:13 am

Yes this is what teaching is truly about: "to truly support the learning of students along their pathway; a passage that will lead to them contributing to our society." And if we all would be aware of this we would deeply value our teachers, as well as the teachers their own job. Teaching in connection to this purpose is immensely important.

Fiona Pierce

23/9/2016 10:46:05 am

Knowledge without the wisdom that comes from our innermost connection isn't helpful to anyone. We need the 2 together and nurturing them both is how we need our teaching to be...

Andrew Mooney

23/9/2016 09:27:16 pm

I agree that the giveaway that someone is a world teacher is their humility and understanding of humanity. A real world teacher does not lord it over everyone else or make out that they are special. They are a master of supporting others to discover that they are all in fact potential teachers in the world. In all my dealings and encounters with Serge Benhayon I would say that he lives in this way with a tremendous amount of humility, respect, love and understanding of people and humanity as a whole.

Anne Hart

24/9/2016 01:40:23 am

Rachel you have captured the essence of a great teacher beautifully. Serge Benhayon presents in a way that is felt and understood beyond what the mere intellect can comprehend. His ability to naturally connect with each an every person and effortlessly present a breadth and depth of understanding that is pertinent is a stand-out - he's not just spouting knowledge & incredible wisdom for it's own sake, he is delivering what is needed by the persons present.

Carmel Reid link

24/9/2016 05:06:32 am

'Have we been reminded of the innate wisdom that we all carry within' This is not something that happens generally from parents or teachers - there is a general society-wide belief that older people know more and we have forgotten that our children have lived many lives as both men and women and that the Ageless Wisdom is within all of us regardless of our age. In time our education system will change in line with the growing awareness of this fact.

Joseph Barker

24/9/2016 11:03:37 am

Serge Benhayon has shown me we are constantly learning, perpetually studying and continually being educated in the most profound way. The only thing is, we all have a choice, to sit in class with our eyes closed and hands over our head, or to be there with an open heart and all ears. When we do the latter, we advance not only ourselves but everyone else that we know - in accepting our learning we become the greatest teachers in life. Thank you Rachel for this deeply felt testimonial and Serge Benhayon for bringing this to life.

Danna Elmalah

24/9/2016 12:00:06 pm

Thank you Rachel, well well said - it is not about who is better, that is never ever were a lead or world teacher has been about. It is about following a true leading impulse that will take and assist humanity forth - exactly what Serge Benhayon has been doing, and seemingly so truly supports people from all sides of the globe.

Carola Woods link

24/9/2016 12:18:49 pm

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.

24/9/2016 12:44:00 pm

There is so much to appreciate with Serge Benhayon, but what is so outstanding from all of his qualities, is his commitment to teaching the Ageless Wisdom. And, over the years it has been an absolute honour to observe as these teachings have become more and more profound and yet simpler and ever more accessible. Serge Benhayon is a true master at the art of presenting.

Heather Pope

24/9/2016 02:50:32 pm

The responsibility each of us has to be all of who we are in life, and care for ourselves as the soulful beings we are is magnified when the sense of a teacher is applied. Without that dedication to self, teaching holds an incongruence.

Heather Pope

24/9/2016 02:57:07 pm

Serge Benhayon is a living role model for any practitioner in that he walks his talk, and lives in a way that knows how he treats his body will be a factor in his ability to work with clients.

Felix Kremer link

24/9/2016 07:58:54 pm

Serge Benhayon teaches by way of his lived life how one can live human life without being corrupt. He never compromises what he presents no matter if he is adored or hated.

Abby Hinchcliffe

25/9/2016 04:09:02 am

Through the connection and equality Serge Benhayon teaches in I have been able to learn and grow in ways that extend beyond the topic matter. Everything can be digested with a loving consideration. This has had an enormous impact on how I am in all areas of life.

Rebecca Briant

25/9/2016 05:17:32 am

Often we see teachers as being the ones with the knowledge and the answers, however what i have found amazing about Serge is his humility, asking other people in their own fields for their expertise and opinion, never putting himself higher or lower and sharing that he himself is always learning.

Matilda Bathurst

26/9/2016 07:14:18 pm

Agreed, Rebecca, and in so doing Serge dismantles the arrogance or elitism of having knowledge. True intelligence being the understanding that we are all equal; diversely gifted and always learning.

rosanna bianchini

25/9/2016 09:13:17 am

Serge Benhayon is a true teacher as you describe Rachel, a teacher from whom we can learn so very naturally and easily, (even the greatest of philosophies) exactly because he embodies what it is to be truly loving, respectful, humble and wise.

Ariana Ray

25/9/2016 12:54:42 pm

If I were to consider all the people I know in my life that present with 'a consistent, unwavering steadiness', I'd have to say that they would be in single digits and to be honest, most of those have the surname Benhayon. a consistent, unwavering steadiness is not a feature of the world I live in, yet Serge and his family stand out as being rock solid in terms of being consistent, unwavering and steady. They are a true inspiration, living their lives for humanity and not themselves.

Stephen Gammack

25/9/2016 02:00:18 pm

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.

Ariana Ray

25/9/2016 09:48:29 pm

'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.

Rowena Stewart

25/9/2016 09:51:27 pm

"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.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

26/9/2016 11:51:07 am

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.

Rebecca Briant

26/9/2016 12:51:39 pm

In history there are many examples of world teachers, people who have shared their lived wisdom with the world. This is what Serge does, from what he lives he shares this with others and from there, others are inspired to live their truth.

"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." If this was taught and practiced by the education system..oh my goodness how different the world would be. 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.

Rowena Stewart

11/7/2017 08:57:24 pm

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.

Rowena Stewart

26/9/2016 10:10:21 pm

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.

Joshua Campbell

27/9/2016 04:12:59 am

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.

What I love about Serge Benhayon's teachings it is the only teachings where as I as a student understand and know what it means to truly with joy contribute to society. "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?"

I love this man! Serge Benhayon is most definitely a true World Teacher . He lives what he presents and those of us who choose to listen and be inspired to explore this for ourselves are forever deepening our connection to ourselves, to each other and to God.

Serge Benhayon teaches the world by way of living. I don't necessarily need to read his books, or attend his courses. Already meeting fellow students of The Way of The Livingness communicates his grace and wisdom.

Rebecca Briant

28/9/2016 03:01:05 pm

We are always taught to look up to and respect our teachers, to see them as the holder of something we don't have. What i have observed and respect about Serge is his openness to learn from everyone he meets - that he is not the holder of all knowledge, and that in fact we constantly can learn from those around us.

Kerstin Salzer

28/9/2016 07:40:43 pm

The way Serge Benhayon teaches is extraordinary. His focuss and subjects are based on love. If love would be the focuss in schools education would look differently. Pupils would get met with love and I am convinced the class would be much more concentrated and calm.

'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.

To be a world teacher, is indeed a big claim to make for all that it conjures. However, on this occasion it is 100% accurate and not over stated.

“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?” Reading these questions brings tears to my eyes, because what they cover is so close to my heart. Every one of us fundamentally deserves that support. It has been a personal blessing to have received this from Serge Benhayon, and a profound healing to now know this is actually humanity's true normal.

Rebecca Briant

29/9/2016 01:56:10 pm

When we think of a world teacher, do we have idea of what that looks like and how it will be, that might actually prevent us from being able to see when a true world teacher is before us. Serge isn't perhaps the person to fit all those ideals, but his integrity and love for people is worldly.

Jane Keep

30/9/2016 10:25:20 am

I love the way Serge Benhayon presents, and talks, in that I can feel that it is not a 'head' talking, but it is a rich, deep sense of something lived, and something of aeons, and, something known by us all. And in that there is an equality, as Serge Benhayon does not keep information for himself - he shares and gives his all - knowing that we too have access to that wisdom, and, that we are all part of it.

Simon Voysey

30/9/2016 12:38:39 pm

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.

Kerstin Salzer

30/9/2016 06:33:58 pm

I love the definition a teacher being a holder of knowledge. Holder of knowledge means to me a knowledge which is based on truth and if this knowledge is based on truth the teacher is connected to the wisdom within. Serge Benhayon absolutely teaches from this wisdom within, which is based on truth, love, joy, harmony and stillness.

Carmel Reid link

30/9/2016 08:07:37 pm

'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.

Ariana Ray

30/9/2016 09:28:27 pm

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.

Felix Kremer link

30/9/2016 10:40:43 pm

Serge Benhayon was the first teacher in my life who presented first how to truly discern and then all the other content of his course. This is unseen in the world of education, where intention number one is to get the students to learn content.

Rowena Stewart

30/9/2016 11:18:36 pm

What Serge Benhayon teaches is Responsibility and this is a lesson delivered not just through his words but through his service, his integrity, his choices and actions. 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. Are we ready to study, learn and step up or do we look for ways to wriggle out of our responsibilities?

Jane Keep

1/10/2016 06:21:34 am

For the first time in all of my education and learning, Serge Benhayon is someone I could listen to for hours, days... he is very real, with the deepest level of integrity - and allows whatever time is needed for questions, and, Serge is absolutely transparent in all that he says and lives.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

2/10/2016 06:22:22 am

Although the depth of wisdom offered by Serge Benhayon is second to none, I have never experienced him bamboozle me with knowledge or take the stance that I need a lecture from him about life. What I do constantly experience from him is a reminder of our equality and an invitation for me to reconnect and live the wisdom that I already have within.

Carmel Reid link

2/10/2016 08:22:10 pm

'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.' We all know what's going on both in our bodies and in the world, but we often choose to ignore it because the truth may be uncomfortable or inconvenient. 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.

Kathleen Baldwin

2/10/2016 08:39:48 pm

Thank you Rachel, I love everything you have expressed here . "To be 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" . . . is the ultimate learning experience that a student could ever wish to happen upon. I feel so blessed to be such a student.

Andrew Mooney

2/10/2016 09:15:14 pm

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.

Ariana Ray

3/10/2016 11:36:06 am

It's deeply touching to consider 'the innate wisdom that we all carry within – that ultimately holds the key to living'. To consider that we don't need to keep looking to the outside world for approval but have an innate wisdom within us makes me feel confirmed in who I am, that I am not wrong because I do not conform to what the world says I should be and am enough as I am.

Gabriele Conrad

3/10/2016 04:48:31 pm

Connection, love and truly meeting one another are what is missing from our education systems worldwide and that is why Serge Benhayon is such an exemplary role model and at this point, second to none.

Nico van Haastrecht

3/10/2016 06:59:54 pm

Serge Benhayon is bringing to us a new way of living, The Way of The Livingness in all that he does, in how he walks, talks and presents. All that he represents is from The Way of The Livingness that is equally in all of us and teaching from this we do connect to that deeper level in which we are all equal and the same and from there can truly learn that we are so much more then what current education systems try to teach us instead.

Ariana Ray

3/10/2016 10:46:19 pm

Serge Benhayon presents at every turn the 'key to living a life that is deeply enriching and gives back.' For what is the point of having a great life if we are to sit on it and keep it for ourselves? There is more to life than having a great seat.

leigh matson

4/10/2016 12:00:13 am

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.

Abby Hinchcliffe

4/10/2016 02:14:09 am

The equality Serge presents with is palpable, the first time I heard Serge present it felt like he was speaking my inner voice back to me. I have found over the years of listening to Serge that there is no limit to what may be learnt or in truth re-connected from someone in equality.

rosanna bianchini

4/10/2016 07:51:55 pm

Beautifully captured Rachel, "Serge Benhayon is a remarkable man, who, by his way of living, is carving a way for others to be inspired to claim their extra-ordinariness and shine in their own right." Serge has shown it is 100% possible to inspire others, and allow them to know their own truth through that way.

Samantha Davidson

4/10/2016 10:56:47 pm

My feeling on what makes a true teacher is someone that is open to learning from others, their own body's and life...interesting that to be open to learn allows us to teach. For me it is not about remember information, which can be useful, but it is about expanding what is already felt to be true, a deepening not a recall.

5/10/2016 11:09:22 am

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.

Kerstin Salzer

5/10/2016 08:36:32 pm

Lately I was able to understand how much I have given up on love towards myself. Serge Benhayon through his graceful loving way to be with himself and others supports me to not give up any more, but to stay on track and reconnect annew to this amazing and huge love which resides in me and everybody else and to as soon I struggle or let go of it I get reminded through the signals of my body to reconnect annew.

Rowena Stewart

5/10/2016 09:01:56 pm

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.

Gabriele Conrad

6/10/2016 02:34:23 pm

It's a rare thing when somebody can be a teacher and do what he does from a foundation of true and absolute equalness where there are no ranks, hierarchical structures or judgments. And Serge Benhayon does all of that and much more so we can do it as well.

Carmel Reid link

6/10/2016 08:51:08 pm

Our education system guides us to study in order to enter a career that will earn us a good income, it rarely encourages us to give back to humanity. Serge Benhayon's whole life is about humanity - nothing he does is for self gain in any way. He treats us as absolute equals, and inspires us to feel deep within ourselves to tap into our own innate wisdom that is naturally there.

Felix Kremer link

6/10/2016 10:01:09 pm

So beautifully expressed! We have with Serge Benhayon a role model before us who withstands the tendencies of our time to disconnect and withdraw. More than that – He presents to us an absolute version (as much as possible for a human) of connectedness.

Jane Keep

7/10/2016 06:10:44 am

There is a difference between a presenter espousing knowledge and one that lives in a way that the quality of what is presented offers the body a whole healing, a quality where the integrity of what is said is felt, where it resonates in every cell and particle of the body. Attending a presentation by Serge Benhayon is a deeply healing experience, one where you are held equally, and honoured, there is no imposition, simply an opportunity to learn, evolve, and develop.

Sandra Dallimore

8/10/2016 01:14:10 pm

I couldn't agree more with Rachel's testimony about Serge Benhayon and the way he is connected to the pulse of humanity. He is one man willing to step out and call out what is going on in our world today without fear of being shut down. Many have tried, but his love for humanity is too strong to be shut down.

Danna Elmalah

9/10/2016 09:40:28 pm

Very truly Rachel - it shows that we are here to inspire ourselves and each other that by virtue of our reflection and those around us we elevate ourselves to be more of who we are.. One of those people I have met in my life that made me more aware of who we innate are was Serge Benhayon by virtue of the Way he was living.. And continuous to do so, it is by observation of consistency in living a love - filled and truth- full way that I learned to trust again.. And choose my Way again equally so.. Thank you Serge Benhayon. And thank you Rachel for your reflection, your sharing of your Way.

10/10/2016 10:19:09 am

The words 'able to read, understand and live responsively to what remains unaddressed among humanity.' bring up in me how much Serge Benhayon is standing for all what is needed no matter what. He does not keep any personal attachment to his life or any other way. He just delivers what needs to be with no holding back in any form. Nobody can manipulate him, make him afraid or anything else as he knows and lives so deeply the love he is and we all come from.

Katerina Nikolaidis

10/10/2016 11:14:37 am

To sit in the company of a true teacher is just as you describe it Rachel -- you are sitting in the inspiration that is naturally brought to you by someone who embodies absolute equallness. The teaching that's imparted is never about knowledge, never about filling you up with something you didn't have before, as true teaching simply activates the wisdom and knowledge innate in all. You leave the encounter inspired and confirmed, knowing you are far mightier and grander than what society and the education system we have at large, will have us believe.

Sandra Vicary

10/10/2016 11:55:48 am

"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 have summed up everything there is to say about Serge Benhayon in this blog, and in this sentence. Serge does indeed live a life that is about true service for all, with absolutely no exceptions. He is an inspiration beyond measure for all of humanity, and there are many who would not be living the abundant, joyful lives they are living today had they not met this remarkable man.

Ariana Ray

Great questions Rachel - '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?'
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.
Whereas Serge Benhayon walks his talk in spades and talks of nothing he does not live - that is the difference between head talk and living a way of life that is true - consistently so.

jenny mcgee

11/10/2016 12:15:51 am

Serge Benhayon is indeed a teacher of integrity in that what he presents he knows that we know equally and only need to be reminded. This is because he teaches from the knowing and wisdom of the heart that is equally awakened in all of us if we so choose.

Samantha Davidson

11/10/2016 02:18:17 pm

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.

One of the great blessings of knowing Serge Benhayon, is that he has redefined what a student and teacher is. Knowing that the student is simply re-learning to connect and see what the teacher can see, brings an amazing equality and unity to what we study. Also it makes it clear there is no limit to what we can re-learn, its happening continuously. The art of life then is to be the greatest learner you can be. Thank you Rachel for sharing and celebrating Serge Benhayon and these teachings so beautifully.

12/10/2016 07:03:01 pm

Many of us support our children or support each other by passing on wisdom that we have learned, but it is often from a perspective of inequality, but that is not the case with Serge Benhayon. The way he lives and presents is summed up beautifully in these words: '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.'

Ariana Ray

To 'serve a purpose in our contributing to society' - how different would the world be if we all had this as our aim in life - not to 'get through' life or be a 'success', but to serve a purpose that all can benefit from, making society our family - what a different kind of life that would be to live.

What you present here Rachel about educating people is so wanted as it is so missing in our current education system. That what Serge Benhayon present to us is a way of living that is a result of connecting to that higher sphere we are part of and belong to. When presenting from that place a teacher cannot else then relate to the students on that level and in that truly meet them in who they are, equal to the teacher, and in that also equal in accessing the wisdom we all are from and connected with. This approach will turn our current education system upside down but to me is the only way to go en will go.

Kerstin Salzer

Serge Benhayon only presents what he lives and knows from his own body and connection to his heart. This is in stark contrast to many other teachers who present theories, beliefs or recalled knowledge. This difference has inspired me to also let go of staying safe in life by relying on recalled knowledge and experience and let my own wisdom guide me.

Ariana Ray

15/10/2016 01:21:38 am

What is it to 'serve a purpose in our contributing to society.' We all want our children to be able to be able to do this, but how far do we go ourselves to set this as our priority in life? How may pay lip-service to this and feel they have ticked all the boxes and that is enough? Serge Benhayon offers us a reflection of a man who never ticks boxes but always gives his all for all. That is the defining evidence for me.

Ray Karam link

15/10/2016 03:32:10 pm

Hello Rachel and you have nailed it for me, "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." So this brings in the 'whole' teaching and not just giving us or you a part and then standing on that only and leaving the rest. Serge Benhayon is, as you describe a true world teacher and as he would say he's not the first and won't be the last just another in a long lineage of teaching from this quality.

Carmel Reid link

15/10/2016 10:14:48 pm

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.

Heather Pope

15/10/2016 11:29:42 pm

Being popular is not a requirement for Serge Benhayon. He is willing to call out what doesn't make sense in all aspects of life, as long as it is truth.

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.

rosanna bianchini

"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.

Rosie Bason

16/10/2016 11:57:15 am

It is an honour to be in the presence of a teacher who is equally honoured to be in the presence of the student... A relationship in which the teacher is a humbly self proclaimed 'forever student' and the student is held as a teacher in their own right and never anything less.

Heather Pope

13/8/2017 01:23:49 pm

The forever student is one that is in the cycle of equality, learning from each other, honouring each other, and holding each other in unwavering love.

What it is to be a true teacher is encapsulated here... thank you. Serge Benhayon is a true teacher and is inspiring many to develop their connection with themselves so that the world can benefit from the teachers and students that we all eternally are.

Ariana Ray

'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.

Jenny Ellis

17/10/2016 03:24:55 am

Yes I couldn't agree more either Rachel, and I love your parting words... "Thank You Serge Benhayon – for you do indeed epitomise that of the true World Teacher who truly serves All …". If there was ever to be someone I imagined might be a 'world teacher', then everything about Serge Benhayon (and l've been observing him for 15 years) would be IT. There is not, and never has been a shred of doubt in me that this was true, as he was everything he has shown himself to be time and again, in the first meeting I ever had with him.

Simon Voysey

17/10/2016 11:52:22 am

There is without doubt a world teacher amoung us who calls things as they are, with absolute connection to the essence of life and what is truly possible for all. There is a person, a man, who has made his life one of service to mankind without flinching or holding back in any way because of the personal flack aimed at him for simply reflecting to all what it means to be and live as a son of God. Thank you Serge Benhayon for being that man.

Esther Andras

17/10/2016 09:33:06 pm

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.

Sandra Schneider

18/10/2016 10:35:41 pm

It is such a joy to see how Serge Benhayon ask us all to step up and bring the wisdom through we are all connected to, when we choose to live this connection. Not an ounce of arrogance in him when he invites us to bring through what is needed for humanity. A teacher like no other I had have in my live... I am not 'filled up' with knowledge but appreciated in the knowing I have already inside - to let it unfold and serve.

Victoria

19/10/2016 01:39:07 pm

I have heard Serge many times refer to himself as the 'forever student' and this is a quality of the truest of teachers. Serge by his living way shows and reflects what is possible for each and everyone equally when we reconnect to the inner wisdom that is within.

Sylvia

20/10/2016 12:09:15 pm

I love this line '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. ' No space to harbour such an illusion.
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. Which is The Way of The Livingness. The true religion in this modern times.

Victoria Warburton

20/10/2016 04:30:50 pm

Shared with the depth of grace and wisdom of one who is a true teacher herself. Thank-you Rachel Lynwood.
Dare we let in the possibility, that there are those who live, breathe and walk their talk – and teachings – in absolute connection to themselves and all that humanity needs at this juncture in our history… I certainly concur that Serge Benhayon is such a man.

Victoria Warburton

20/10/2016 04:40:04 pm

“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.

Samantha Davidson

20/10/2016 09:33:30 pm

On a smaller level I can see this play out in my everyday life, what is being called for, what is there to say...? "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." I am learning to speak up concerning what is needed rather than what I 'want' to say, this is more for humanity and not my selfish agenda.

Harrison White

21/10/2016 03:45:22 am

Serge, the man who lives everything he talks about, and shares about the living, not the "knowledge"

Harrison White

21/10/2016 08:49:42 pm

It would be great to have someone like Serge Benhayon as a school teacher, where connection and wisdom is encouraged as well as the learning of facts and knowledge.

Katerina Nikolaidis

22/10/2016 01:44:37 pm

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.

Stephen Gammack

22/10/2016 06:23:45 pm

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.

Victoria

23/10/2016 01:11:20 pm

Rachel, you have expressed so beautifully the qualities of a true teacher. Serge Benhayon actually lives what he teachers, and this communicates deeper than any words. The words then come alive and confirm and inspire how we can each live with such respect for who we are in truth.

Heather Pope

13/8/2017 01:25:09 pm

The inner development of confirmation and appreciation grows within a consistency and understanding that cannot but reflect out to the world.

23/10/2016 09:54:40 pm

Serge live stream by the power of reflection - and in that he is not imposing or instructing - he does not have a need for people to be something other than who they truly are. And by this he shows that we are all equal it is just our choices chat make us different. Teaching at its greatest.

Vicky Cooke

24/10/2016 01:38:56 am

I respect teachers immensely, they work really hard through their love of children and young people or passion about what they are teaching and it seems their job is being made tougher all the time. I love what you have shared here about the true role of a teacher '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 absolutely a world teacher and while this may not be well known, maybe it will start to be, as well as appreciating just what he is bringing to humanity through vessels such as Serge Benhayon TV http://sergebenhayon.tv

JennyM

24/10/2016 02:24:31 am

It would be true education indeed to return to a focus of fostering children to remain connected to their essence rather than training them to pass assessments.

Eva Rygg

24/10/2016 08:55:42 am

It is indeed all about connection - I remeber my first meeting with Serge Benhayon as if it was yesterday and not 11 years ago. The way he met me, connected with me, made me feel I was the only person in the world. It didn't take long for me to realise that everyone feels like that in his presence and that he treats everyone like equals - no more no less. A World Teacher through and through.

Sandra Vicary

24/10/2016 01:35:43 pm

"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." And this is exactly what Serge does, and is showing so many that they too have the ability to do the same by simply choosing to take full responsibility for their own lives.

Eva Rygg

25/10/2016 05:54:50 am

'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.' - Brilliantly expressed, the level of integrity and responsibility that Serge Benhayon has in this field is unlike anything I have ever come across. All a reflection of the way he chooses to live his life, always connected.

Ariana Ray

26/10/2016 01:28:06 am

'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.

Eva Rygg

26/10/2016 10:29:19 am

Despite being a world teacher, Serge Benhayon is the most humble man I have ever met. He never treats anyone as lesser nor better. This is quite a unique quality, and one of the reasons why Serge is trusted and deeply loved - because we feel we are equals and met for who we are.

Jenny Ellis

27/10/2016 10:14:42 am

Serge Benhayon does epitomise a 'world teacher' and is so much more than I could ever have imagined this to mean, before I met him. You are spot on Rachel, standing before him and allowing yourself to simply feel, not only allows the enormity of what can be felt of him, but equally the enormity of what is in fact equal in every one of us. THAT is the mark of a true world teacher.... here to arise every last one of us to stand equal, and not to elevate himself so as to create powerless admirers. It doesn't matter from which angle you observe Serge Benhayon, the view is the same, so long as the eyes observing remain untainted by ideals, beliefs or by the fury of jealousy.

Leigh Strack

27/10/2016 02:34:08 pm

In what you share Rachel, I wonder what each of us is capable of with understanding, connection and education? Maybe instead of sitting back talking about what is needed, more would do what is needed in society.

lrena Haze

27/10/2016 07:31:41 pm

How inspiring to imagine what you propose here as our way forward in the education system. What you speak of here is something that will truly revolutionize the education system someday. lmagine the possibilities? How our children would grow up in this environment of nurturing and true care.
lt feels wonderfully expansive to feel myself as a person living, "a life that is deeply enriching and gives back to humanity in ways that truly serve.

Fiona Cochran

27/10/2016 10:31:48 pm

There has been no other teacher in my life that has had me 'gripped on the edge of my seat' (as described in a previous blog) I've had many inspiring teachers in my time, I enjoyed many of my classes in school and later in life but there has never been a teacher like Serge Benhayon where I have felt the importance of every presentation shared. Serge Benhayon lives what he speaks and what he speaks is pure gold.

Jane Keep

28/10/2016 01:08:54 am

Well said - "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." This is something remarkable about Serge Benhayon as a true world teacher - Serge Benhayon is the real deal.

Felix Kremer link

28/10/2016 06:32:54 am

Have you tried to be consistent with one thing in your life? I have, and I have felt the forces that work against this attempt. This is why I am in awe about Serge Benhayon's consistency in every aspect of his life. I would call his consistency universal consistency.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

28/10/2016 01:09:04 pm

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. And I am so very grateful he is here right now presenting all that he is in full inspiring us all to step up and also live the same.

Eva Rygg

28/10/2016 11:47:57 pm

What defines a true teacher? Is it that they 'control' their students and make them feel inadequate and never really measuring up to the expectations or is it someone who is deeply inspiring, who lives by example and who makes you understand that you are already all that you need to be? The latter is Serge Benhayon.

Kylie Jackson

29/10/2016 05:05:53 pm

A true teacher is humble in the knowing that they are forever learning. Serge Benhayon is one of the most humble people I know on this Earth.

Kerstin Salzer

30/10/2016 08:13:05 am

"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."
He is always several steps ahead and as such can adress what remains unadressed, because he already lives the future. Everytime I meet him I get to know a different aspect of him and the tenderness he shares has no end.

Fiona Cochran

30/10/2016 02:05:57 pm

Serge Benhayon imparts so much wisdom from his lived experience without ever telling you what to do, no imposition, no rule book, what he offers is a reflection for you to feel what is true.

Jenny Ellis

31/10/2016 05:14:38 am

Rachel you have highlighted a number of amazing attributes that epitomise what a 'world teacher' ought to possess. You are spot on also that Serge Benhayon possessed each and every one of them, and so much more. Studied from every angle (which I have over the last 15 years) the astounding qualities are evident no matter from which direction you look. He is a truly inspiring leader for humanity... something that will become increasingly evident to the masses with the passing of time.

Simon Voysey

31/10/2016 12:26:38 pm

Rachel the experience you describe with Serge Benhayon and learning and its vast difference with the University experience is something I can relate to very well. Having witnessed many young people as students of Universal Medicine at roughly the same age as I was when at Uni. become alive in themselves and express with such wisdom and discernment, it is very clearly the way froward in education.

Ariana Ray

31/10/2016 10:20:44 pm

Education as we know it is such a restrictive institution. If we go back to the Pythagorean days when education meant building and valuing the quality we are within us, it exposes the current system to be much like a sausage factory, where stuff is crammed into skins. But what true value is there in the skins when health is at an all time low and sickness an all time high?

Sandra Vicary

1/11/2016 08:43:15 pm

"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…"
And it is exactly this that makes Serge Benhayon so remarkable in an unremarkable way, as he carries absolutely no airs and graces because of who he is. He is a straight forward, down to earth family man who happens to live a way of life that is inspiring countless others to do the same. And with all that he does, comes an unfathomable and equal love for all that simply cannot be denied.

sandra Vicary

3/11/2016 02:32:03 pm

"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" Absolutley Rachel. Serge Benhayon is a man like no other teacher I have met, for exactly this reason. There is never a moment when Serge is not connected 100% to himself, and because of that he is able to connect with every single person he meets with the exact same 100%. This cannot be disputed when you are met by this beautiful, loving and tender man.

rosanna bianchini

3/11/2016 11:10:02 pm

The depth of connection Serge holds with himself and the unfathomable depth he connects to, enables him to be a true world teacher for all. I 200% agree Rachel "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"

Monica Gillooly

4/11/2016 12:59:20 pm

Someone who is connected to themselves can truly connect with another - Serge Benhayon absolutely epitomises and lives this to the nth degree such that everyone who meets him feels an equality rarely felt with another, one which invites you to connect to yourself and lets you feel the wisdom offered as available to you too.

Nico van Haastrecht

4/11/2016 08:43:32 pm

What Serge Benhayon presents in all his presentations and workshops is that life is about love and in his understanding that we all are equal and come from the same origin but have lost our connection form that wisdom, we are held in a sphere of love where we are able to reconnect to that inner source that we all know we are connection with and are from.

Rowena Stewart

4/11/2016 09:31:49 pm

Meeting Serge Benhayon and attending his presentations and workshops has completely dismantled my understanding of what it means to be a teacher. The way we really learn is by living example, not through prescribed curriculums that deliver knowledge void of a true foundation. We don’t need to expand our knowledge, all we need to do is to return to who we truly are, Masters of Love and the living example that Serge Benhayon offers is at present a uniquely precious and immensely informative living lesson.

Joel Levin

5/11/2016 02:38:35 am

In a world where there are so many people with an opinion and keen to find a stage from which to spruik it, Serge stands as someone that is not interested in being famous but is simply presenting something from a deep place within.

Felix Kremer link

5/11/2016 10:57:11 pm

What a beautiful definition of a teacher: “to bring out the true essence of the student”. Hear, hear!

Sandra Vicary

6/11/2016 09:14:52 am

"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." Serge Benhayon is without a doubt one such teacher. What he shares with humanity is beyond anything imaginable, but there is never an ounce of arrogance or recognition attached to what he presents. To be in the presence of this man is to know and deeply appreciate that you are in the presence of something extraordinary, but at the same time he is so very humble, in the truest sense of the word.

Suzanne Anderssen

6/11/2016 11:12:52 am

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.

Simon Voysey

6/11/2016 12:05:05 pm

I like the term "holder of knowledge", as it suggests that knowledge is not something to be owned but can be presented with great care, selflessness and complete awareness and regard for it's source, as Serge Benhayon does.

Sylvia

6/11/2016 12:58:50 pm

This sentence ' 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 '. made me realize how we are not focussed on the essence of the student in the education system. We are in general focussed on results. 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. To bring this new way offered by Serge through the teachings of Wisdom/ Universal Medicine into the schools and everywhere.

H M

7/11/2016 12:11:38 am

Serge Benhayon delivers teaching like no other - because he is not telling us anything new, but rather reconnecting us to what has been taught in the past and what our bodies already know. It is empowering and not belittling. This is a very different way of teaching.

Heather Pope

11/12/2016 10:42:47 am

The empowerment comes from knowing we are all equal and thus all equally capable of living a love filled life, and that as you say HM makes Serge Benhayon unique as a world teacher.

Rebecca Briant

7/11/2016 12:12:03 am

What I love about how Serge teaches is that the knowledge is never the most important - connection, wisdom, the understanding that there is something more is always considered, respected and taught with equal is not greater focus for it gives the context and foundation for the knowledge to rest within.

Danna Elmalah

7/11/2016 01:41:49 pm

Thank you Rachel for sharing so much about the reality of Serge Benhayon and his work. Prevelent to say that his work is outstanding; highly integre, absolute full of respect, highly professional and deeply caring. A combination or individualy almost unheard of. Something that needs to be shared with the world, by sharing by blogs, voice, and living way (our every day living). Let all be touched by this words of healing and seek healing and true surrender to one"s heart forth..

JennyM

7/11/2016 10:59:40 pm

The mere fact that we need a teacher to bring out our own true essence indicates that we must have separated from that innate wisdom to begin with. We are so in desperate need of an education system that is supportive of that connection and the expression of that true essence.

Kerstin Salzer

8/11/2016 05:52:45 pm

Serge Benhayons way of teacing is based on love and it is not about outcomes. It is about people and not about expectations towards those people.

Rachel Murtagh link

10/11/2016 09:53:44 pm

"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.

Michelle Mcwaters

10/11/2016 10:07:19 pm

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!

Ingrid Ward

11/11/2016 07:09:37 pm

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.

Simon Williams

11/11/2016 08:14:10 pm

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.

Heather Pope

19/11/2016 10:10:59 pm

Each of us has a unique expression and essence that is by all accounts equal, regardless of its difference. Each essence is needed in the world and it is that understanding that will change education.

jeanette macdonald

12/11/2016 09:39:52 am

For what is a 'teacher' but someone who inspires, who invites us, by being who they truly are, to expand and grow, be and understand more who we truly are? To know our essence? Yes, Serge Benhayon reflects this, he inspires.

Sandra Schneider

12/11/2016 11:01:35 pm

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.

Connection is the foundation of everything what comes after. Very beautifully written Rachel, bringing truth to paper.

Shami

15/11/2016 12:08:39 pm

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.

Matilda Bathurst

Working as a teacher and knowing Serge Benhayon, I have seen the difference between delivering great content as a proficient teacher and connecting to students in a way that shows and inspires them to get to truly know themselves and to walk in life from this knowing rather than under the pressure to simply accumulate qualifications in an attempt to be the best candidate for a job. Serge Benhayon offers such true teaching, empowering and inspiring people all over the world.

Heather Pope

The experience of university was to me very obviously one of the teachers and the management of the university being more than the students. Every aspect of this from the classes, to the assignments, to the systems that needed to be adhered to, even to the graduation were setup this way. I was grateful to have had enough self awareness not to fall for the trap of thinking I was somehow less while attending.

Felix Kremer link

16/11/2016 08:50:03 pm

Dear Serge Benhayon, you say, you don't need us to be grateful to you, being 'us' was our greatest way to thank you. Who on earth is so generous and demands nothing in return? Maybe all of us, deep within?

Felix Kremer link

18/11/2016 10:01:19 am

We have had a few world teachers around in the past, never were they recognised by the masses and only many years later did humanity wake up to the fact that a person of great wisdom has walked this earth. Wouldn't it be intelligent to study history and learn how to clock a world teacher when he is still physically around?

Julie link

21/11/2016 12:06:10 pm

Thank you Rachel, I have never experienced a teacher like Serge Benhayon who meets everyone with absolute equality and an honouring that we all have the same within us. Nothing he teaches is watered down and is made available for anyone who is open and willing to listen whether a child, teenager, adult or the an elder. He appeals to everyone equally and I never feel like I am being 'told' or taught.

Melinda Knights

21/11/2016 03:56:23 pm

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.

Luke Yokota

We are all teachers in this world.
Because the fact is everyone has the ability to support another.

In supporting another we have much to teach for if we haven't learnt the lesson for ourselves we cannot be in true support of another.

Heather Pope

11/12/2016 10:41:15 am

We are all teachers, and we are that everyday based on what we reflect. If we are living with love and responsibility that will be reflected, if we are living checked out and indulgently that will also be reflected.

Samantha Davidson

23/11/2016 10:05:34 pm

I am a student of The Way of The Livingness, it is a study of life, how I feel and how I live it, why I live...."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." It is a choice I make to look at the quality I live, how I move, how I heal, the responsibility I take with my place in this world. Serge Benhayon is an inspirational teacher, no telling, he leads by inspiration.

Ingrid Ward

2/12/2016 09:00:42 am

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.

Ariana Ray

2/12/2016 09:42:37 pm

'A consistent, unwavering steadiness' sum's up what we see in Serge Benhayon each and everyday. There is such an expansion in the consistency. It's not stagnation and staying the same, but an ever deepening of these qualities.

Sandra Vicary

4/12/2016 01:25:16 am

"Thank You Serge Benhayon – for you do indeed epitomise that of the true World Teacher who truly serves All …" Spot on Rachel, you speak here for so many of us who have experienced what Serge brings to the world. I wholehaeartedly agree.

jeanette macdonald

6/12/2016 08:04:42 am

"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 my personal experience, until I met Serge Benhayon, no. I did have teachers who woke me up to enquiry, teachers who inspired me with their enthusiasm and teachers who were playful. . 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.

Monica Gillooly

6/12/2016 02:07:54 pm

I love your sharing here Rachel and can readily concur, Serge Benhayon is the epitome of what it is to be a teacher, one who meets all others in clear connection with themselves and thus others and with a humility and an understanding that is so consistent and available to all he meets. He is truly inspiring and inspires others to live more in connection with themselves and thus others.

Heather Pope

11/12/2016 10:39:46 am

Serge Benhayon includes being the forever student as part of his teachings, and that humbleness is one of the qualities that makes him a world teacher.

Kerstin Salzer

7/12/2016 08:26:59 pm

Serge. Benhayon is not a teacher who brings news. He always presents from a place of wisdom which everybody of us has equally. We already know inside that what he presents to us, be it concsiosly or unconcsiously, as such he is constantly confirming our knowing. This true way of teaching is embracing every human being with love and care.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

23/12/2016 12:40:19 pm

The greatest teacher ever is one that supports others to connect to, recognise and appreciate the awareness and knowing they already have within them. Serge Benhayon is a master at this, and thousands have profoundly deepened the quality of life they are living as a result.

Sandra Vicary

10/12/2016 09:15:07 am

"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" Indeed he is Rachel, and until I met Serge, I can honestly say I had never come across a teacher who came anywhere near to this. To be met by this man, is to know that you have been met by God.

Shami

10/12/2016 12:40:42 pm

There is a deep respect for Serge Benhayon amongst the people who can say that what he teaches means something important to them. It has been a great honour to be amongst these people, to be someone who can say that I have attended his presentations, because every single one has been life changing.

Otto Bathurst

There is no better way of teaching than leading by example.

Otto Bathurst

10/12/2016 11:33:59 pm

A great test as to whether I have mastered something is whether I can explain it to someone else (especially a child). If I have totally and utterly understood it and embodied it, then I can explain it in my own words with an energy, clarity, simplicity and lived reflection to another - this is for anything - cooking a fried egg (mastered!) or why the sky is blue (not mastered!). The absolute Gold of Serge Benhayon is that every single thing he ever says he has already lived, mastered and embodied - which makes him the greatest teacher on earth.

Heather Pope

11/12/2016 10:37:18 am

When one has lived with responsibility, and thus has that experience in their body, the lived wisdom makes them a great teacher.

Stephanie Stevenson

14/12/2016 03:37:38 am

Thank you for this beautiful living testimony to the truth of Serge Benhayon, that I agree with in full from personal experience of Serge as a humble and loving family man and as presenter and teacher of the Ancient Wisdom Teachings..
"Thank You Serge Benhayon – for you do indeed epitomise that of the true World Teacher who truly serves All …"

Michelle Mcwaters

14/12/2016 10:46:09 pm

I was just having a moment where I was pondering on the enormity of what Serge Benhayon has offered humanity. In fact it is so huge I can't really get my head around it. But just to say when I saw the picture of Serge at the top of another blog just now I got more connected, still and appreciative - that's just by seeing his picture. Just by seeing his picture I have been given deeper access to the enormity that we all are, let alone applying any of the Ageless Wisdom teachings!

Jonathan Stewart

18/12/2016 08:00:53 pm

Serge Benhayon is undoubtedly a World Teacher and you have captured clearly and succinctly here, Rachel, what makes one a World Teacher and why Serge fulfills the title.

Andrew Mooney

19/12/2016 10:04:47 pm

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.

Samantha Davidson

23/12/2016 10:59:57 pm

In truth we have teachers all around us, in every encounter there is something to learn....However, when you meet someone who meets you for all you are, your potential and love, something is reawakened, this was my experience with Serge Benhayon and he continues to offer this a world leader concerning teaching, inspiration and so much more.... A true teacher inspires others to be all they can and all they ready are, no need to pour information into an empty vessel, rather nurture and truly see what is already there.

Matts Josefsson link

25/12/2016 01:17:06 am

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.

mary sanford

27/12/2016 09:45:53 am

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.

JennyM

28/12/2016 09:32:43 am

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. To constantly seek truth and understanding from recalled knowledge which can become obsolete the moment it is observed or understood is such a wasteful distraction from our true purpose. Serge Benhayon consistently reflects that through our own connection with our inner most we are instantly connected with a universal wisdom.

Sandra Vicary

28/12/2016 01:19:59 pm

"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." 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. A true master, and a true world teacher.

Otto Bathurst

31/12/2016 10:14:42 pm

For me, the first absolute benchmark of a teacher needs to be equality between teacher and pupil. That is the foundation from which true evolution can occur. The greatest gift that Serge Benhayon gives me is a 24/7 expression of that equality. Nothing pulls me to be more than this; no words, no sermons, no books, no videos...just his absolute and lived expression and embodiment of equality.

mary sanford

2/1/2017 10:38:23 am

I feel that it is because Serge has such a profound sense of knowing where he comes from that he is easily able to reflect back to us that we are equally the same as him in every way. We are just not choosing to love ourselves in the deep and honouring way he loves himself, what I so appreciate about this man is that he has never given up on any body but is there constantly supporting and encouraging us to be all that we can be with no holding back. I cannot think of anyone who has encouraged me to be all that I am, certainly I didn't come across this from family, friends or when I was going through school.

Ariana Ray

2/1/2017 09:07:53 pm

What is a world teacher? Could it be someone who lives with responsibility and integrity, holding love and care for all as a way of life? Living with such a connection to God that he can feel what is needed and bring it forth, not because of knowledge but because of how he lives. For all my experience of Serge Benhayon over the years, this is just what I have seen in how he lives. People come first all the time and every part of his living way is about love, joy, harmony and truth. He is pure inspiration for us all and I never cease to be inspired by him.

Ariana Ray

4/1/2017 11:31:44 am

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? Serge Benhayon gives us the truth about knowledge and wisdom, the knowing that the Universe comes through the body when the choice is made to live with true quality. He is a master teacher of what is true.

Monica Gillooly

4/1/2017 01:43:27 pm

Rachel, what is truly exquisite to feel in your writing here is your own lived connection and appreciation of what Serge Benhayon offers to you and all he meets, and it's that quality that as you say '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…' There is such a quality of absoluteness, stillness with this, nowhere to go, just a feeling of the connection we all have to ourselves and the Divinity we are, reflected back to us by another, a true teacher indeed.

Katerina Nikolaidis

5/1/2017 10:45:17 pm

I've had the grace of being in the presence of Serge in many conferences, presentations and workshops, and what you say here Rachel is true to the core of everything I know. In those instances and always now in my cellular memory is the known, and the tangible feeling that I am equal to a teacher standing before me, as we are all equal in essence with each other. Not something we are raised to cherish about ourselves or humanity. But when this is fact is reconnected to once again and you are in the presence of a wild teacher that holds you in the equalness and grandness that you are it is never forgotten. It changes everything.

sandra dallimore

6/1/2017 10:54:05 am

In attending many Universal Medicine presentations, courses and events, I have always felt Serge Benhayon's way of teaching was one of equalness. He doesn't come across as 'the teacher' who knows more, he presents from a lived wisdom that can be felt without question.

rosanna bianchini

7/1/2017 12:31:06 am

"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' would be my answer to this Rachel, but what I have also experienced much later in life is a true education in the widest and most encompassing possible sense, where I have been held in such a way, by Serge Benhayon, to remember what a true teacher feels like. I recognise Serge's lived wisdom as being far beyond any 'education' the current system offers.

Helen Elliott

7/1/2017 10:30:11 pm

'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.' This sums up beautifully all that Serge Benhayon offers to humanithy which makes him truly deserving of this title. His humility and patience in presenting what he can feel we all need is so inspiring. There is no ounce of what is in it for him but a simple dedication to presenting what is required and supporting others to evolve at a pace of their choosing with no judgement only love.

jennym

8/1/2017 12:42:34 am

Serge Benhayon has lived and presented with an absolute unwavering steadiness that we all hold a divine wisdom innately within our hearts and that is the greatest blessing of all.

Shami

8/1/2017 11:44:57 am

The humbleness that Serge Benhayon lives by is astounding, even though he is the world teacher, there is not an ounce of arrogance or greed in his presentations, or indeed even in quiet conversations it is possible to see this same humble nature being expressed in every moment.

johnathan stewart

13/1/2017 09:15:30 pm

The true and inspirational qualities that define a great teacher are epitomised in Serge Benhayon.

Shami

15/1/2017 12:17:45 pm

Serge Benhayon is absolute in the equality that he presents and whether or not anyone who he is presenting to can see, feel or accept it or not does not hinder his continuous presentation of the fact, making him the great world teacher of our time.

Francisco Clara link

15/1/2017 08:55:12 pm

To stand in the presence of a true world teacher such as Serge Benhayon you can not but feel the universality and love where we all come from, this is lovingly presented and confirmed for us to reconnect to within ourselves.

Vicky Cooke

17/1/2017 11:19:55 pm

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.'

20/1/2017 11:50:31 am

To have a world teacher is to have a living example of what it is to not be in self. Serge Benhayon is this reflection and he shows that it is possible to let go of any investment or need that is commonly associated with teaching. That to be a world teacher, you are not instructing and controlling people, but walking amongst them to reflect that was is lived in you is possible in all others.

Jennym

21/1/2017 04:08:10 pm

It is rare to find a teacher like Serge Benhayon who embodies what they present with such energetic integrity and responsibility. This allows a student to discern the energetic quality of life and people and feel what is true or not.

Shami

21/1/2017 10:09:46 pm

Rachel you make an incredibly important statement here when you write about the commitment that teachers have to being with the students, this absolutely needs to be put out there and appreciated.

Francisco Clara link

22/1/2017 02:26:55 am

Thank you Rachel, for sharing your deep appreciation and love for Serge Benhayon, who consistently reflects to us the divine connection to universality we moved away from and eventually are coming back to.

Ariana Ray

27/1/2017 06:46:55 am

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.

JennyM

29/1/2017 10:01:16 am

What sets Serge Benhayon apart from many teachers is that it is not only theory or knowledge that he presents, but his body is a living example of what it means to live one unified truth, not parts of truth.

Vanessa McHardy

29/1/2017 11:55:46 am

Serge was the first person to simply present a way of living with great understanding of the workings of the universe without ever trying to impress, impose, etc he simply presents and leaves you to discern for yourself the truth.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

18/2/2017 02:11:19 pm

Yes the most profound insights are ever so simply and humbly presented by Serge Benhayon, welcoming any additions or queries and then leaving you to choose the information or not. My relationship with my life, responsibility, people, society and in fact the whole world has transformed as a result.

Katerina Nikolaidis

30/1/2017 10:52:49 pm

It is a blessing that stays with you forever when you are in the presence of a true world teacher such as Serge Benhayon. And deep within us we long for that inspiration, that deep connection and reflection to the gateway to our own soul, our universal wisdom that is within us, waiting to be met and activated.
This is what Serge Benhayon brings - the inspiration to reconnect to Soul, to the divine wisdom within.

Harrison White

A true teacher is one who can teach about every day living, and relate subjects to the seeming mundane and things we experience every day.

Andrew Mooney

2/2/2017 10:50:36 pm

Such an interesting discussion here on what makes a top quality teacher. It is clearly far more than just a messenger who hands down knowledge that they have been told or learnt without any connection to the quality of what they are passing on. 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.

Shami

4/2/2017 10:47:12 pm

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.

Elodie Darwish

5/2/2017 11:56:58 am

'...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?

jennym

10/2/2017 07:55:23 pm

I agree Rachel I always like to discern first whether a teacher can walk their own talk and are living in such a way which can be felt to be true in connection to their own essence.

Shami

10/2/2017 10:35:55 pm

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.

Ariana Ray

11/2/2017 03:54:55 am

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.

jennym

20/2/2017 01:52:47 am

What is very humbling is that Serge Benhayon holds himself as the forever student of life and reflects that we never stop learning or deepening in our connection to our essence.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

25/2/2017 12:34:20 am

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.

Leigh Strack

26/2/2017 12:01:41 am

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.

jennym

6/3/2017 03:00:47 pm

Rather than a holder of knowledge Serge Benhayon presents self mastery and that we all have access to wisdom through the connection to our inner hearts

Ariana Ray

9/3/2017 01:11:57 am

Rachel you ask a great question ‘have we been nurtured and guided to connect with who we truly are – with a consistent, unwavering steadiness?’ It is a forgone conclusion that no we have not been guided like this in any 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.

It was not until I met Serge Benhayon have I come to realise the depth of what the qualities of a true teacher are and the depth of responsibility that comes with that. The standard he has set is the foundation upon which has commenced a revolution not only in the whole approach to education but to what education actually is

Christine hogan link

Your words and sharing is deeply appreciated Rachel. Serge Benhayon humbly holds himself as one that lives to reflect to others another way of living and in this teaches in the truest way what can be brought forth for humanity – he is a world teacher.

Michael Brown

A teacher who recognises himself too as a student of what he is being taught - simply out of this world.

Fiona Pierce

"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." - How true this is and something that we all can take note of as in many ways we are all teachers.

Alex Braun

Don´t we all seek someone who teaches us how to live life in a way that allows us to be ourselves, true and authentic, fully engaged and at the same time not being engulfed by life? Whatever subject we learn, first and foremost we need to know ourselves and this is the noblest of all teachings any true teacher delivers and nurtures in his students for them to be who they are before they do what they do. Serge Benhayon is such a teacher.

Heather Pope

13/8/2017 01:20:13 pm

The fact that Serge Benhayon offers us all a path to connect to ourselves, and not only that, but be that in life is everything.

Lorraine Wellman

8/9/2018 08:54:53 pm

Put beautifully Alex, 'Whatever subject we learn, first and foremost we need to know ourselves and this is the noblest of all teachings any true teacher delivers and nurtures in his students for them to be who they are before they do what they do. Serge Benhayon is such a teacher.'

Matilda Bathurst link

And when we meet a world teacher such as Serge Benhayon, it is our willingness to be humble, or not, that 'decides' whether we will learn or not. It is Serge's humility, alongside everything he offers, that consistently inspires me to explore and deepen this quality in me.

Shami

6/4/2017 09:43:17 pm

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.

Monica Gillooly

7/4/2017 02:51:16 pm

'that what this teacher is reflecting to you – is in fact the equal and same essence that is you…' epitomises everything Serge Benhayon offers to all he meets and that is what we miss in those we interact with as teachers, as colleagues, as friends, lovers, family etc. that it is about connection always and Serge is an absolute master of this with all, and through meeting him he inspires all others to live and be this way in themselves.

Matts Josefsson

8/4/2017 11:23:42 am

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.

jennym

11/4/2017 12:03:03 am

I too have learned the a new understanding of a true teacher, one who inspires us to live fully the power of who we are in essence. Serge Benhayon has always presented himself in essence and been a consistent reflection of living the truth of who he is in full.

Heather Pope

16/4/2017 03:13:21 am

Holding himself as equal to all, Serge Benhayon demonstrates that being a forever student of our soul is the path of return to living with and from our soul.

Alex Braun

17/4/2017 11:19:02 am

A true teacher knows what to deliver what the student needs to prosper and he presents from living experience and knowing in a way that activates the students potential to realize themselves by their own choices. Such way of teaching is way beyond what we know from our current school systems as it is based on principles that assure personal and collective evolution at the same time, not just the accumulation of knowledge or skill.

David

18/4/2017 08:15:56 pm

Rachel I fully echo and support your words of Serge and how he is a the true world teacher, I have met no one like him yet he shows us all we are the same as him, he was the first person that showed me and lit the way for me, a path that I now walk and and inspire in others. He has refined my understanding of teaching to become a reconnection to wisdom that I innately know as true. There is no doubt in his strength as a true world teacher for all.

Shami

19/4/2017 12:57:23 pm

Through the many experiences of attending teachings by Serge Benhayon, my whole perception of what teaching is has changed. I can see it now as a far more equal exchange as opposed to one person having all the knowledge and another who does not because actually both student and teacher always have something to learn and to share.

Kerstin Salzer

22/4/2017 10:09:55 pm

To study with Serge Benhayon is gold. I started an education and it is so draining, because there are so many ideals and beliefs which are sucking energy. Studying with Serge Benhayon is the opposite, I gain energy and feel more whole, light and energized afterwards.

Susan Green

30/4/2017 12:13:21 am

I have met many teachers who have been hard working and well intentioned in their subject but there is something fundamentally missing. It is evident that they love their subject but it is also evident in how they are with themselves and therefore how they are with their students that, as you say, there ...'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.'

jennym

3/5/2017 03:45:31 am

Without that connection to ourselves first our connections with others are empty of the love that we crave. We badly need teachers who have a connection to their essence to really meet our students and children.

Shami

5/5/2017 09:51:06 pm

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.

Danna Elmalah

14/5/2017 12:52:41 pm

Yes Rachel it is showing us that what Serge is presenting needs to be brought to life and beyond, not by him only , but by us All.

Mary

15/5/2017 01:08:51 pm

I can still remember teachers that I knew at primary school that made an impact with me from the way they taught the class and connected to us as children. I much preferred the few that actually took the time to get to know you and didn't talk at you. 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.

Vicky Geary

16/5/2017 05:42:15 am

Thank you Rachel. A true teacher is rare to find. Serge Benhayon demonstrates the level of responsibility and integrity that our education system will one day be providing.

Shami

16/5/2017 09:06:06 pm

In the fact of knowing that Serge Benhayon is the true world teacher of our time is also knowing that he is here for everyone and not just those who attend his presentations. The world literally means the world.

Stephen Gammack

18/5/2017 02:33:22 am

It is a salient point to mention Universities in relation to learning, because I have learnt more from the teachings of Serge Benhayon than I ever did from any University courses I studied, or any of my other educational experiences. That is quite something to say when we consider how much stock is put in being learned and having papers to recognise your intelligence, and yet here is a man with none of that who access more knowledge than many believe possible.

jennym

19/5/2017 01:56:22 pm

To live the wisdom within us all, is to live the path of a true teacher as we know that in essence we are all equal and that we are all love in essence.

Monica Gillooly

20/5/2017 05:19:22 am

To be truly connected to oneself allows us to connect to everyone equally, and to feel how that supports the learning of all others changes our paradigm on education and how we support others to learn, in addition to how we truly connect to another. Serge Benjamin lives and breathes this and reading your testimonial Rachel I can more clearly understand how I've been held and learned with meeting Serge and what he presents and how that's changed my approach to life, people and learning. Imagine if we were all met and learned in this way?

Jonathan Stewart

21/5/2017 01:15:10 pm

"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." There is so much that Serge Benhayon addresses, which generally remains 'unaddressed among humanity' that it like awakening a sleeping giant and the giant here is the Soul of humanity.

Nico van Haastrecht

21/5/2017 06:09:37 pm

The way Serge benhayon presents himself as a teacher is so completely different from what I ever have experienced in the school systems. At school I had to learn subjects without actually any reason explained to me as it felt it just a program that had to be followed while Serge Benhayon stands there as an equal and shows me a way of living that is also in me. Actually he is calling me to remember or to return to a state of being that I have lived before, equally to him and that is how all teachers should teach, knowing that they are equal to their students, both forever students.

Fiona Lotherington

24/5/2017 12:26:51 pm

My experience of education is almost the opposite of nurturing my true self and confirming the wisdom I already have within. The education I have experienced and see is more the ‘glass empty that needs filling’ model. I have only rediscovered my true self and innate wisdom since meeting Serge Benhayon, who consistently reminds me that we are all-knowing. It only takes connection to soul and a way of living that is line with it to reclaim it.

Fiona Lotherington

2/6/2017 10:59:39 pm

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.

Vicky Geary

4/6/2017 01:09:42 pm

Serge Benhayon has a way of presenting that is rare in this world. Without any preparation, other than the integrity and quality he lives with in every moment, he delivers truth about all aspects of life. He is able to deliver the answers to the questions that aren't even asked, but that deep down everyone is actually asking for.

jennym

5/6/2017 01:32:47 am

What is essential of a true teacher is that they present to their students the need to discern for themselves of the energetic integrity of the teacher.

Andrew Mooney

30/6/2017 09:52:55 pm

Yes when you look around at all the gurus and presenters and so called teachers in the world today, this level of transparency is very rare. And yet it has always been a core part of what Serge presents.

David

7/6/2017 01:26:33 pm

Thank you for expressing all that you feel about Serge and how he is really a true world teacher, for me what is most amazing about how he presents is that I come to unfold for myself the truth, something that feels as if it is living inside me and reawakened through what Serge presents.

Ingrid Ward

7/6/2017 09:03:33 pm

Casting my mind back over my school years I cannot remember one teacher who I was nurtured by and “guided to connect with who” I truly was. All I can remember is being presented with endless facts and lessons about things that really did not have any influence on how I lived my life. In glorious contrast I remember ever so clearly my first meeting with Serge Benhayon more than 12 years ago and how he connected to me in that first moment and since then has always been there for me if I need a light shone on what is unfolding in my life. This is to me a true teacher.

Shami

20/6/2017 01:02:15 pm

It is amazing how Serge Benhayon does not find his position as a world teacher to be a burden, which you can tell by the way he presents with so much playfulness.

Andrew Mooney

30/6/2017 09:50:47 pm

Is a true teacher one who owns knowledge and passes it down to another who does not know? Or is a true teacher someone who supports and inspires another to ignite and expand their own wisdom and knowing that is inside them equally? I have experienced both of these methods of teaching in my life and I know which one feels more true to me. Serge Benhayon is the ultimate teacher in this respect as he is constantly inspiring and supporting people to come to their own understanding and wisdom with infinite patience and understanding, knowing that it is everyone's divine right to re-connect with their own universal wisdom in their own time.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

1/7/2017 02:01:14 am

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.

Christine Hogan link

1/7/2017 12:19:38 pm

The difference in what Serge Benhayon presents as a world teacher can be clearly felt as everything he shares comes from his lived experience and is reflected in his every movement.

Kerstin Salzer

2/7/2017 03:24:34 am

I love the deep wisdom that Serge shares and it seems to be for me, but everybody in the room or on the audios is feeling the same. This wisdom is for everyone and as it stems from a one unified sourse it can touch everybody who is open.

2/7/2017 04:26:19 am

Serge does not teach. He reflects. This is so much more powerful as he walks the talk. Everything he presents comes from a lived experience and this is so relatable to me and everyone else he speaks too.

Rowena Stewart

3/7/2017 09:15:57 pm

A true world leader teaches everyone how to become a leader and Serge Benhayon is no exception. Every Retreat brings focus to our innate strengths and our ability to maximise these strengths so that we can all work together for the evolution of humanity. Consequently the need for individual ambition pales into insignificance when compared to the innate and unifying purpose of true integrity in Brotherhood.

David

5/7/2017 08:26:52 pm

"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 simple terms I never experienced this before attending events by Universal Medicine. As a result I understand what is possible in education and how far from this we are.

Liane Mandalis

6/7/2017 11:00:13 am

A true teacher understands that their students learn more through a teacher’s reflection (what they live, how they move, speak, think etc.) than they do simply having pure knowledge imposed upon them. The former allows us to flourish in the truest sense. The latter has a crushing effect.

Heather Pope

13/8/2017 01:21:45 pm

This takes "walking your talk" to a whole new level, and thus what Serge Benhayon offers the world is a consistency that is real, unshakeable and bows its head for no one.

jennym

7/7/2017 07:48:39 pm

It is so true in all aspects of life Rachel, that we are drawn to people who are connected to who they truly are, but especially important in teachers. Our children need these role models to confirm that their own connection is the foundation to .living life successfully.

Fiona Pierce

12/7/2017 04:02:37 am

"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?" - This to me is a key foundational value that we need in all our education systems - this quality of confirmation and nurturing of us all is essential for us to be able to truly apply the knowledge that we learn in a way that benefits us all, supporting true evolution.

Susan Green

12/7/2017 02:44:10 pm

Beautiful testimonial Rachel of someone who not only teaches but lives everything he knows.

Sarah Flenley

21/7/2017 12:46:15 pm

Having gone through the education system, and attended countless number of presentations, I can absolutely say that I have never experienced the quality of Serge Benhayon's approach.

How he - as you say "allows for the student to truly discern, read and make their own informed choice about what is presented before them." is quite incredible to experience. It is very unimposing and this freedom teaches you true responsibility because there is no 'he told me to', and no blame etc...because it is my choice, and my choice only.

Ruth Ketnor

28/7/2017 07:10:15 am

Thank you Rachel for presenting what a True World Teacher is... and of which Serge Benhayon is. He holds us all as equals and in his humbleness reflects all that we can choose to be. A deeply inspiring man.

Alex Braun

4/8/2017 04:55:10 am

I wonder if I am actually fully comprehending and appreciating the opportunity to be in the presence of such a teacher, a world teacher, a teacher who presents the ancient teachings in a way relevant to modern life, who brings them to their full blossom for everyone to drink from such divine nectar. A teacher not just for some or many but all of us.

Joshua Campbell

12/8/2017 10:59:12 am

What your sharing Rachel highlights is that yes there is a lack of true connection with student and teacher in the education system and in life in general but that no one has truly demanded for this to change. We have just accepted it hook line and sinker and what Serge Benhayon has inspired myself and others to question is not only whether this posture is true and honouring of themselves and others, but that we should in fact be standing up for ourselves and not disempowering ourselves by accepting any less than true love and care, both with how we are with ourselves others and how others are with us.

Ruth Ketnor

18/8/2017 11:19:48 pm

There is not a speck of imposition when Serge presents, the quality he holds us in allows us to evolve at our own pace through our continuing developing awareness, and our choice to do so.

kim weston

28/8/2017 12:15:32 pm

6/9/2017 06:13:59 pm

Thank you for sharing that a world teacher like Serge Benhayon is reading what is not being addressed by humanity. The willingness to express what is truly going on and giving us the opportunity to have those stop moments of refection that is far from being championed as the norm in our current world climate.

Leonne Sharkey

7/9/2017 11:18:20 pm

A true world teacher is not mystical, they do not have secrets and they do not hold anyone else as more or less. Serge Benhayon is a truly inspirational world teacher who has reminded me and thousands of others who we are.

Adele Leung

8/9/2017 05:12:31 pm

Connection is the foundation to all relationships. A teacher and student is a relationship, between any one person to another is a relationship, and therefore without connection, there is no relationship. Not just in the education sector, but also in businesses as well as in families, it is the same. It is wise to remember the connection within ourselves so as to not be blinded by the roles and rules that we are encouraged to only focus on in life.

10/9/2017 09:10:49 pm

Serge Benhayon positions education in a whole new light, amongst many other topic - as is shared here - he actually brings to our attention that the wisdom he carries and shares is accesable within us all and therefore there cannot ever be one who is higher or better than another, there is only the difference in choices. So if I choose to be more aware and to be more responsible, I naturally reflect this to others.

Willem Planndsoen

19/9/2017 11:59:20 am

To be able recognize a teacher, who lives an incredible life and has access to amazing wisdom, as an equal is indeed very rare. That is what makes Serge Benhayon a true teacher: he is continuously pulling his audience to the same level where he is, because he holds every single human being as is equal. Not as concept, but because he knows this the truth. He ask us, me, to be more, to live our true potential, just like he does.

Shami

22/9/2017 12:36:26 pm

What makes a world teacher really standout is their unwavering commitment to equality amongst all people everywhere, and Serge Benhayon is no exception to this fact.

Alison Valentine

22/9/2017 10:49:19 pm

Love your blog Rachel to see Serge Benhayon in the street he looks no different to any of us, his humility and humbleness is something I have very much learned from and has helped me let go of my arrogance I once had. "Thank You Serge Benhayon – for you do indeed epitomise that of the true World Teacher who truly serves All …" and this is what he inspires in us all, he is a true servant of humanity

Harrison White

10/10/2017 02:24:52 am

You have totally opened my eyes to what a true teacher is Rachel! We can get so caught in thinking that a teacher is like you said - a one who imparts knowledge, one who is more learned or put on a pedestal for their knowledge - and its clear that the best teachers we remember are the ones who connected with us, the ones who brought a depth of personable experience to what they are sharing and ultimately one that inspires their students to see they are already everything.

Joshua Campbell

14/10/2017 06:31:15 am

Serge Benhayon is one of those teachers who you can just warm to and feel feel met by. He is one that holds you in a space of knowing you are far far grander than what you do alone and forever have the potential to bring more amazingness to life for all to feel and see. He is in this way a true leader and setting the standards for what society ought to be like. A way that to some may seem utopian and unachievable but a Way that he and now many others are proving to be very very normal and the only natural way to live life.

David

2/11/2017 01:21:05 am

Rachel at first I was a bit skeptical, I was like how is this possible that I am with a true world teacher. Everything Serge presented felt completely true and I connected and related to it all. However what took me time was to value and appreciate that I am in this place, at this time with a World teacher that is inspiring not only myself but all of humanity with a way forward that just makes sense. 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.

Ingrid Ward

6/11/2017 08:55:15 pm

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.

David

22/11/2017 09:06:29 am

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.

Ariana Ray

26/11/2017 10:26:44 pm

"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.

Carola Woods link

11/12/2017 11:19:02 am

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.

Nico van Haastrecht

8/1/2018 07:51:28 pm

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?

Fiona Pierce

4/1/2018 01:14:12 pm

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.

Ariana Ray

6/1/2018 09:24:37 pm

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.

Shami

6/1/2018 11:19:25 pm

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.

Nico van Haastrecht

8/1/2018 07:41:37 pm

The "questioning, mistrust or ridicule" only comes from the people that feel exposed by the openness and transparency Serge Benhayon brings and in their terror start to fight in order to protect their way of living life.

Richard Mills

16/1/2018 04:18:10 am

The quality of true humbleness, opens a deep and profound network of communication through which the wisdom of the ages can be fully shared. Serge Benhayon lives, breathes and moves this humbleness and hence is able to share this wisdom with all who care to listen.

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.

Holding all equal with himself, showing by example a lived way that is supportive for all, inspiring thousands along the way to change their lives from the inside out...who have, through their own testimony, become healthier and more engaged in life, surely there can be no greater example of a teacher than Serge Benhayon?

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. Serge Benhayon has presented this since day one, and totally changed my understanding of what true education is. It’s more like reminding each of us of what true love is. Thank you Rachel.

'What does it mean to be a teacher?' For Serge Benhayon it is about the deep loving integrity and truth with which he lives each day. This is fairly unusual, and somewhat extraordinary, but for Serge Benhayon it's just a normal day.

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.

Nico van Haastrecht

Indeed Joshua, Serge is presenting and teaching from a truth that is the love he lives continuously 24/7 and for living a lie there is no space whatsoever as all his space is filled with the love he is imbued with.

Serge Benhayon is a teacher who teaches with true humbleness, treating everyone as his exact equal, whist supporting them to be their true selves. He contains not a jot of arrogance, or the seeking for self- recognition, just an open heart that is all encompassing and all beholding.

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.

Nico van Haastrecht

13/3/2018 06:51:38 pm

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.

Serge Benhayon shows us clearly the difference to teach knowledge to seemingly blank slates and to teach wisdom to those that simply have to be reminded of it and to help them understand that the reason why they have forgotten is simply because of their movements.

Aimee Edmonds

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.

Melinda Knights

23/4/2018 12:47:06 pm

Thank you Rachel, this is such a clear piece on what a world teacher is, and what is needed by students from teachers, that the educational process would mean "the student (is) experiencing a quality of learning that has its basis in connection and equality."

"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.

Jennifer Smith

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.

Willem Plandsoen

Hard to imagine at the start that I am, I have the same essence as Serge, that my core, is made of the same material. But through his teachings, and more important living it, I don't only know but also can see this.

Ariana Ray

Serge Benhayon is a true world teacher, he holds nothing back to present the truth within a holding of love

Shami

This article really highlights beautifully the responsibility that each person has to be true to themselves, because in this truth we are all able to inspire and connect with one another. Making us all equal teachers.

Lieke Campbell

24/7/2018 10:41:46 am

I deeply appreciate all that Serge Benhayon brings because without him I would not know the difference between being taught just knowledge or being deeply met in my heart at the same time and that learning and this deep connection and love go actually together. And that there is no true benefit in just teaching knowledge without connection with our own body.

Fiona Pierce

31/7/2018 12:58:10 pm

I find Serge Benhayon's way of presenting deeply confirming as well as incredibly insightful and revealing. Confirming in that the way he presents holds you as an absolute equal and also that we already have an immense innate wisdom, everyone one of us, just our connection with and honouring of this can vary.

Willem Plandsoen

3/8/2018 09:49:18 pm

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.

Leigh Matson

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.

Natalie Hawthorne

15/8/2018 05:03:36 am

Hear hear Rachel, it is remarkable and deeply inspiring walking along side Serge Benhayon, a world teacher that is walking absolute truth and love without any compromise. How Serge makes this so ordinary and flow is extraordinary and yet I am inspired to be living all of my truth and love as well. We are all capable of such remarkable work and living life for the all.

This teacher is completely different from the norm. Serge Benhayon teaches by reminding us that we are already everything and how to access the wisdom of that everything that we naturally are. It is the true meaning of empowerment, where we are reminded that we are all equal.

Lorraine Wellman

6/9/2018 08:36:31 pm

Serge Benhayon's humility and love touch me beyond what words can express, '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.'

Liane Mandalis

A true teacher understands that he or she is also a forever student of life.

Anna

8/9/2018 01:11:12 pm

I agree Rachel, Serge Benhayon is a true world teacher is every way, shape and form. Serge talks his walk and walks his talk and lives in a way so he can access truth and universal wisdom to present this to everyone. I have never heard of another who lives their life with this level of commitment, deep integrity and love for humanity – this is why he is a true world teacher and an inspiring practitioner, role model, friend... and then some.

Lorraine Wellman

We all can, and are learning so much wisdom from Serge Benhayon, his teachings always make sense and at a deeper level resonate, our world and people need this World Teacher.

Jennifer Smith

12/9/2018 02:01:44 am

Serge Benhayon as a teacher is so encouraging of people. He supports students in their presentations, without any criticism or could do better at all. He really celebrates when others a doing well and has no investment in whether we get what he is presenting or not.. Serge is a true teacher.

Jennifer Smith

12/9/2018 02:06:44 am

Serge Benhayon is not just a teacher when he is 'on stage' presenting. Its part of every moment and every move. You can hear it in his voice.

Leigh Matson

17/9/2018 05:53:17 am

With connection the student is far more willing to learn from the teacher.

Lorraine Wellman

21/9/2018 03:40:24 am

We all crave connection, and can feel we are all equal, so this is super important, 'the student experiencing a quality of learning that has its basis in connection and equality.'

Jill Steiner

24/9/2018 12:29:21 pm

A deeply beautiful sharing Rachael, of a true world teacher who is a living testimony of the truth that he brings in the livingness of his every day life "– that what this teacher is reflecting to you – is in fact the equal and same essence that is you…"

Danna Elmalah

A true world teacher is not someone to give your power to , hence this is not what Serge Benhayon wants or indicates in his teachings. The teachings come true -- no matter what we do with it. Serge has shown over the last 20 years that his teachings come with integrity, consistency and an amount of our every expanding love and respect.

Ariana Ray

7/10/2018 06:14:23 am

'What does it mean to be a teacher?' From our own experiences of teachers we will all come up with different versions of this answer, but above all I would say that Serge Benhayon is like no other teacher I ever had the experience of knowing in my life. This man Serge Benhayon meets you, the student, as his equal. This is unheard of in education, but what a joy to feel this meeting, it offers the potential to raise the student up to stand equally with the Master.

Willem Plandsoen

8/10/2018 06:53:35 pm

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.

Lieke Campbell

8/10/2018 08:24:43 pm

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.

Fiona Pierce

9/10/2018 03:34:33 am

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. As you say the learning of knowledge certainly has its place and purpose and is essential but to truly serve it also needs to be underpinned by a certain quality of connection that can then guide us in how to best use that knowledge for the benefit of all.

Beautiful testimonial Rachel. ".... 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." I agree. We are never told what to think in Serge's presentations, but to feel for ourselves what feels true for us. No blind following.

Ingrid Ward

13/10/2018 02:58:31 pm

When Serge Benhayon presents I stop and listen intently as I know that I am being presented with a wisdom that is ageless, one that he is always reminding us we have access to at any moment. It is the steadiness, integrity and the deep love he has for each and every one of us which inspires me more than anyone has ever inspired me, as with every inspiration I am understanding more about me, humanity and this amazing world that I live in.

Ariana Ray

18/10/2018 10:45:01 pm

In Serge Benhayon we see a man who is being assaulted by a press that is hungry for made up sensationalism that bears no resemblance to the truth whatsoever. But regardless of the lies, the truth remains and no troll or media can take that away, it is inviolate - untouchable.

Joshu Campbell

9/11/2018 11:39:57 pm

Gosh the level of humble integrity one must live with to be such a teacher is immense beyond measure. You might question whether Serge is such a person but you only need to stand in his presence and be inspired by his living way and husband absolute commitment to truth to know that this is indeed the fact.

Lieke Campbell

7/12/2018 04:20:59 am

Yes it’s an age old fact that we cannot give someone else what we don’t have ourselves. This goes with material things but moreso with internal qualities of Love, integrity and truthfulness.

Ariana Ray

18/12/2018 11:10:02 am

"What does it mean to be a teacher?" for me this has to be about living the truth of what you teach, and this Serge Benhayon does exactly. He walks his talk and lives every word he teaches.

Ingrid Ward

24/12/2018 09:18:02 pm

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.

Caroline Francis

A teacher does not preach or dictate knowledge from the mentality of his or her mind. A teacher imparts the wisdom from the body that is lived through the connection to his or her soul. Serge Benhayon is no doubt one such teacher and leader who forever inspires me to make and live this as my way too.

Inma Lorente

25/2/2019 05:59:55 am

As a student of the Livingness I always appreciate the way Serge Benhayon presents. He shows me that living with responsibility and authority has nothing to do with being superior or arrogant, but the most humble and natural way of being. Love his reflection because I didn't see before a teacher like him who reminded me about the fact that studying is not about recalling information but connecting with the wisdom of our body where all the knowing we need is, regardless our profession or the amount of certificates we may have.

Inma Lorente

25/2/2019 06:18:40 am

The teachers who inspired me most along my years of school where those who showed a care in the way they shared that awakened my curiosity to learn. I still remember them with gratitude for the example they were for me.

Today I appreciate having access to the Ageless Wisdom teachings through the presenters from Universal Medicine. It's a joy to see people who shares from their living experience without trying to convince anyone or preach, that's what makes the content so accessible and interesting because every word is alive and resonates deeply within me.

Viktoria Stoykova

Perhaps teaching is not just to pass down knowledge, imagine the opportunity there is for teachers and students all over. I love the way you put it: to nurture to connect to the image wisdom within. How I wish this was our education system, school would have been a very different experience. Not just in my relationships with teachers but with my peers also.

Viktoria

8/5/2019 08:49:12 pm

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.

Viktoria

15/6/2019 12:13:00 pm

There's not really a bad word I can say about Serge Benhayon, not because he's perfect or put on a pedestal, but because I respect the way he is as a person and is towards other people.

Mainstream education and my CPD continues to teach me how to do things. Being a student of myself, as shown by example by Serge Benhayon, teaches me the why and the what quality I do what I do in.
