Serge Benhayon the Friend

SERGE BENHAYON – the friend

3/9/2014

by Ray Karam

When I first met Serge about 5 years ago I watched him closely talk to people and interact with his family at a Universal Medicine presentation. It stood out how close, personal and intimate he was with everyone I saw him speak to. He just seemed to have a way of speaking to people that I had never seen before. It was a quality that was so obviously not the ‘norm’.

Everyone he spoke to was important and it didn’t seem to matter if he had known you five minutes or five years, he would greet everyone with a great care. I remember asking myself, 'how can a man be like this, what’s the trick?' Over the next year I watched him further and kept being astounded by how the same quality continued with how he was with people. I remember thinking that one day I would catch him out and find out how he really was and what I have found is that how he was on the first day I saw him is how he is today. Serge has never changed, in fact the qualities that ‘struck’ me on that first day have deepened further and he is more caring with the people I see him with than any person I know.

At first I used to try and find “the trick” or the secret to how Serge was with people. For me it was a waste of time trying to find it. What I did was continue to watch Serge and apply the principles that he valued in his life to my life. He shared these principles with everyone, at every course and in every interaction. He didn’t keep them hidden or for the chosen few. How and the way he lives was constantly there for everyone to see. I did my best to take these principles home to my family and what I found was that in time, my relationships with my children have grown enormously. I thought I was a good father but now from living from these principles I can see that I am a great father. All the qualities I saw in Serge from the first day I met him are now there in me. At the core of these qualities or principles is the fact of me making my life about people first. So no matter what is happening or who I am speaking with, I see the person first and not a problem or a deal or anything else. Life is about people.

Serge has been one of the best friends I have ever had and ever known. He has continually and consistently been there as a solid base, always and unbelievably available to support where he can. This support for me has never wavered and never changed. He was my best friend from the first time I met him, but it was just me who had to catch up with the friendship. I remember ‘holding’ him at arm's length for a while but the undeniable consistency of how loving and caring he is in every interaction with me allowed me to let go of feeling I had to protect myself.

I regularly wave to people when I drive my car. I enjoy waving to my neighbours and other people when I am driving past them. I remember driving Serge’s car once and I couldn’t believe how people waved to his car, obviously thinking it was him. I had received waves from people, but I could see there was a difference. These people stopped momentarily what they were doing to wave. Like for a split second it was the most important thing they were doing. I could see that it was Serge in action again. The way he even does the simplest thing like waving is done with such loving dedication that the way people wave back is the same. It is like Serge treats every moment like it is the most important moment there is. So no matter who is in that moment with him, they are the most important person there is. But these moments I have seen are not a ‘one off’ or an ‘only for a few’ or a ‘just for my family' or ‘only in public’. I have watched my good friend Serge Benhayon and he is the same, whether he is speaking to 1000 people or is at home with his family or waving to people in the street.

If you have the blessing to spend any time with Serge, you will see his dedication to people is unsurpassed. For me he is a living legend. Not for all the great work he continually does but from the simple fact that everyone he meets, he actually meets. There is nothing else more important in that moment to him than you and it doesn’t matter who ‘you’ are, he will be the great friend he is to me with you. If you don’t believe me, watch him yourself. There are no tricks, no secrets, just a truly loving man who inspires many by the way he is with everyone in each moment. I love Serge Benhayon not for what he has done, but for how he is. I have never seen a person like him and never had a friend like him.

He is leading the way in how to be with people. I have been inspired by this simple but key fact. I now hold this foundation in my life of ‘making life about people’. I have seen all my relationships grow and to the point where the qualities I love in Serge Benhayon are now qualities I hold in how I am. Serge has supported this and not cut it down. I enjoy every interaction I have with people, knowing that if I keep developing myself in my relationships there will be even more in every interaction.

I continue to ‘watch’ Serge and how he is with people. Not from a critique but from the fact that I see how people respond. I see that the great care and dedication Serge brings to every meeting supports people to grow. Through the 5-year friendship I have had with Serge I have grown enormously. My family has grown, my business has grown and my friendships have grown. It is a fact that because of my friendship with Serge my life is more loving and more enjoyable. The relationships I have with people around me at home and in my businesses are truly amazing. All the qualities that I enjoy in Serge are now there for me in my relationships. All the things I love about Serge are now there for me equally in my interactions and relationships also. Serge has been a part of this, he supports me to grow and has never held himself above me. He is a truly remarkable friend.

Our friendship is equal and Serge has held me in this way from day one. I can see now that I am all the things he is to me to him as well. I thought this wasn’t the case but I have seen Serge grow as well from our friendship. He has never held an authority over me as a friend and I don’t see this in him. I see that in his dedication to people there is an overwhelming equalness to everything he does. I can see that how he lives supports this. It’s not something he turns off and on or saves for a few. I have seen that how he is with me, a great friend, is how he is with everyone.

The support he has offered me is just for me to be myself. It is as though through my friendship with Serge I have been able to speak a voice that was deep inside of me but that was afraid to come out. It was a voice that was buried under many other things. Our friendship has allowed me to live a way that is full of moments that in the past were fleeting moments only. It is like all the parts of me that I loved have been able to come together in one full package from our friendship and the way we are together. The more our friendship continues to grow, the more I see that we are just the same. Serge Benhayon is a truly loving, caring, beautiful man and friend and I am just the same. The wonderful thing about this is that Serge has wanted this all along, not for me to be like him but for me to see that all the things I love in him are actually in me. It is not a dictatorship, it’s a friendship and we stand beside each other as equals. I love you, Serge Benhayon, and I know he loves me the same.

This is so beautiful and so true Elizabeth:

Elizabeth looking back on your comment from 2015 all I have witnessed in Serge is for him to have become more loving, more truthful and to inspire a greater number of people. He is indeed a true friend and a true role model.

True friendship. Ray I have never experienced a man writing so deeply lovingly about a friend, whilst acknowledging the equality and respect and love that are the foundations.

Jonathan Stewart

This is a truly a most beautiful and loving dedication to and for a friend and you have encapsulated this so well Bernadette.

Rachel Mascord

Yes, I agree Bernadette. Ray has written in such an open hearted way, so loving and tender. This is a testament to Ray and to Serge Benhayon for the quality of friendship he offers to men and of course to women alike. He let's us be who we truly are. No pretence, and no barriers.

Yes and deeply honouring of both in every interaction. A marker of inspiration for all.

Rebecca Briant

I agree Bernadette, it is beautiful to read a man write so lovingly about a friend, expressing everything a person means to them. So many people think men are unable to express how they feel, but this blog shows it is simply allowing someone the space to be themselves that allows them to feel and express love.

Lorraine Harris

8/4/2015 05:06:32 pm

Beautifully said Rebecca. It is gorgeous to see a man write with such tenderness about a friend, showing men are every bit as sensitive as women but some have just not allowed that side of themselves to be seen before. It feels amazing to read such an article, a true healing and sharing of love.

jeanette macdonald

Beautifully said Rebecca, it is wonderful to read what Ray has expressed so lovingly. I feel wrapped up in the love and warmth of it, no different to how I feel when in a conversation with Serge.

Nattalija

Bringing this expression is the gold that is offered to other men who in many cases don't feel the space is given or honoured to express in this way.

Ingrid Ward

Bernadette, you have summed up Ray's wonderful testimonial to Serge Benhayon so simply but ever so beautifully. The love and the feeling of equality pours from Ray's words; what an amazing offering for other men to read, and to be inspired.

It is really beautiful to see, read and feel true friendship like this from one man to another.

Yes a rare find in our current world where male friendship is not given the quality to connect to what is truly on offer for all men. This is the powerful gift that Serge Benhayon shares with the world.

Nattalija link

19/12/2017 11:15:53 pm

This blog and the relationship you share Ray shows others that true friendship is there for all if we are willing to let go of any protection and allow another to feel who we truly are.

Building on this truth are the markers that support us to deepen the relationship with each other and for us ALL. The quality that is then offered is the way that Serge Benhayon shares with the world.

Vicky Cooke

What an absolutely beautiful website and testimonial. Serge Benhayon IS a living legend indeed and a gorgeous one at that in so many many ways. Everything you say about him is true and EXACTLY what I have observed, felt and seen too. It is really lovely to read how you have been inspired to see the exact same qualities you have seen in Serge now know are you as well. It was also really lovely to read 'at the core of these qualities and principals is the fact of me making my life about people first'.

Ariana Ray

7/3/2015 03:36:21 am

What is remarkable is the complete openness of this testimonial, the no holes barred approach that tells the story of true friendship, with no agenda other than love and support. To say this is rare is indeed an understatement. Beautifully told Ray.

Sarah Flenley

Yes I loved reading the openness and tenderness in this testimonial and so simply and powerfully told.

Rebecca Briant

I agree Vicky, this website is amazing, not only is it a testimonial to the amazing life Serge lives, but also the lives of all those he has touched.

Eva Rygg

Beautifully said Rebecca, what is being offered here is a true testimony to Serge Benhayon and all those he has touched - so much so, that for a countless number of people this has become a complete life turnaround.

Ariana Ray

10/10/2015 11:41:12 pm

'Serge Benhayon IS a living legend' - true fact and we can see why. Here we have a man who makes his life about other people, and not just a small group of people, about ALL people. Everyone is held in the same degree of love as family and friends. You cannot help but admire this and be inspired to look at humanity differently when you see how this plays out.

Nattalija link

The changes for so many people comes from the simple reflections of one man that is sharing not what he knows but the quality he lives. A man who walks the talk with an abundance of humbleness and love for ALL.

Alison Pearson

I also remember the first time I heard Serge present and I was shocked at how quickly the time seemed to have passed. Never before had I sat so still, totally engaged with every word spoken. It felt like Serge was talking directly to me. Over the years, I still feel the same connection but can now appreciate more deeply the enormous love that Serge has for every single person he meets, no more or less to anyone. This is something I find quite remarkable and it has allowed me to reflect deeply on how I am with people around me, and how I live in each moment. Serge never 'tells' you what you should or shouldn't do. He presents 'how things really are'. He will always be there for support, to answer questions, but not to tell anyone what to do. That's down to each individual to work out, which is such a gift. After all, if you are not the one making the choice and coming to that choice of your own accord, through your own learning, who's choice is it really? Serge Benhayon, YOU ROCK. Thank you for being the heavenly man that you are and for inspiring me to appreciate that I am also, pretty awesome.

What you say Alison is my experience too, in fact reading the comments it seems to be everyone's experience! Meeting Serge was the turning point in my life, through his unwavering support and love I have re built my life from one of misery to joy. He believed in me and always told me so. He saw something in me that I couldn't see in myself and through his unwavering support I can feel what he has always seen... a beautiful warm hearted human being. And because there was no judgment, no expectations put on me I have been allowed to come to this understanding myself so it is all the more meaningful because I came back to me myself.
I can now see that Serge gave me the space and time to reconnect to me. And I have often heard him say this... that there is no need to preach or convert anyone, when people are ready they will come to the truth of who they are in their own time. Thank you Serge for your unwavering love and support and giving me the space and time.

Lorraine Harris

16/3/2015 06:53:48 am

A beautiful, honest and loving appreciation of Serge. Ray, you have written the words so many of us feel about our friend Serge Benhayon.

Mary, your comments were similar to my journey through life and your last paragraph, really spoke to me. Yes, I agree, Serge gives us the time and space to reconnect to ourselves in our own time and to know people come to the truth of who they are when they are ready.

Jonathan Stewart

22/4/2015 03:51:23 pm

What you have written Alison and Mary is also my experience. That ability of his to always see the "eautiful warm hearted human being" in everyone is extraordinary and yet again, if we allow it, ordinary.

Monica Gillooly

17/3/2015 05:08:38 am

Alison, that's really true, time does fly in Serge's presentations and they really hit home, it does indeed feel like he's talking directly to you. And I know for me, if anyone were to tell me what to do I tend to rebel, the absolutely beautiful thing about Serge he presents how he lives, in simple, practical ways and through hearing and knowing it's possible to live in a different way I've been inspired to change how I live - no dictates, just a review by me to see how I can do things differently and all because one man had the courage to stand up and say there is another way. Thank you Serge for being you so graciously and inspiring many to be us.

mary sanford

19/3/2015 04:26:46 pm

Alison something made me come back to your comment again and I saw what it was immediately these are very WISE words...

"After all, if you are not the one making the choice and coming to that choice of your own accord, through your own learning, who's choice is it really?"
How is it possible that people can say that Serge Benhayon dictates to people what they can and cannot do or say. It shows to me they have no understanding of what Serge is offering to the world.

Vicky Cooke

23/3/2015 04:14:52 pm

I have felt exactly the same, I could listen and listen to Serge present and talk for ages .. what he shares is absolute pure gold for all, we have so much to learn but also to change. Like you have mentioned I am seeing more and more this is up to me and me only and the choices I make, no one can live my life for me.

Hannah Morden

30/3/2015 03:00:15 pm

I too echo this experience Alison. When I heard Serge speak for the first time, I wondered where the other speakers were and how 1 person could fill up a few hours. But time was nothing in that moment, and connection was everything. My body was responding in a way that my mind could not argue with. Someone who tells it like it is, and will continue to do so as I make more and more loving choices.

Lorraine Harris

3/4/2015 03:01:12 am

Such words of wisdom Alison and your comments resonated with me as I was amazed how one man could be on stage presenting without a note and that it felt as if he was talking to all of us individually. No 'must do', but a knowing that if we choose to make different choices, our lives with reflect that. A truly inspirational loving man, there for us to see that we can all be all that we are. Whoever I was, I am no longer because I now know I can be so much more, thanks to Serge always being there for me, no matter what the question is, to support me to expand into the fullness of who I truly am.

jeanette macdonald

8/11/2015 09:56:37 am

Lorraine I love your and Alison's words here, and echo them, as these have been my experiences too. Serge is such a lovely man, and his support is phenomenal. I feel it with me always.

Nattalija link

22/11/2017 01:48:18 pm

Connecting to the all and feeling that it is just for you is the quality of giving the all and holding the all without judgement. A presence that is amiss in our currently state of world living.

Natalie Hawthorne

7/4/2015 01:06:54 pm

It is incredible how as you say the time can pass and how much Serge covers all the while being fully engaged to every word that Serge speaks. In the past I had never been able to or have done this and every time I am with Serge I can sit for hours and hours with out even realising it. This to me reflects and shows me that with Love as your basis and humanity in all that you do - anything is possible. This is exactly what Serge shares and it is as you say down to each person what they do with it. Serge most definitely ROCKS.

Michelle M Ryan

29/7/2015 02:22:25 pm

The fact that we all so often feel that what Serge Benhayon is presenting could be directly for us just shows there is a truth to what he presents, that we are all really connect dot each other on a deep level and are not simply 6 billion individuals walking around on earth.

Jane Keep

8/12/2015 03:12:13 am

I so agree Alison, and Ray and everyone who has commented on this thread. I could sit and listen to Serge Benhayon present for hours, even days. And as you say he never tells you what to do. He is the wisest person I know coupled with with Ive yet to meet someone so dedicated to serving humanity with the depth of lived integrity. It is an absolute joy to know Serge Benhayon.

Doug Valentine

Beautifully said Ray and I can feel the truth in every word.

Tim Bowyer

5/3/2015 12:23:39 pm

Beautiful testimony Ray and one that I completely agree with.
"The support he has offered me is just for me to be myself. It is as though through my friendship with Serge I have been able to speak a voice that was deep inside of me but that was afraid to come out. It was a voice that was buried under many other things".
This sentence stands out for me the most as it was a big issue for me for all of my life until I met Serge Benhayon. Serge has inspired me to know that it is OK to use this voice and that what I have to say is equal to anyone else and that I am enough as I am. Since meeting Serge, every area of my life has improved, from health, self-worth, self-confidence, wellbeing, weight loss, vitality levels and learning to trust other people and myself. From having a life that I now know was based on just 'existing' to now having a life that is based on 'living', Serge has shown me that there is another way to live.

David Nicholson

28/3/2015 05:10:33 pm

I have also always felt that same reflection and support from Serge in that with every meeting or conversation the love is there for me to be myself. This is one of the greatest gifts I feel and before meeting Serge Benhayon had not felt from another person.

Rowena Stewart

4/4/2015 03:13:42 am

Well said Tim and the same goes for me. Since meeting Serge Benhayon every aspect of my life, my body and my being has undergone amazing changes and today I know that who I am is enough and I am finding my voice more and more as each day passes. Raymond's testimony speaks for so many of us who have met in Serge Benhayon a true friend and role model, a man showing us all the way to return to a truly uplifting, vital and joyful life.

Vanessa McHardy

5/3/2015 12:38:23 pm

I loved reading this Ray especially the part about you driving Serge's car and how people waved at you thinking you were Serge and you feeling the quality coming from the people. That is so beautiful. I remember being at the airport at the same time as Serge and watching him and I could feel the love in his body as he walked every step was in a quality of presence that I finally understood walking in love, I had seen Serge walk many many times but this time I saw what he had been sharing for so long about the quality you have in your body being expressed in everything you do. I am very inspired by you and Serge after reading this a great way to start the day being reminded that everyone is equally important.

Natalie Hawthorne

5/3/2015 12:47:09 pm

Ray you have summed up Serge Benhayon and all his amazing qualities so well and all of what you share is so true. I too have experience the same - how Serge has been with me he has been with everyone else around him, making you feel like you are the most important person in the world, totally dedicated and being with you when sharing time with him. I too have been deeply touched by our incredible friendship and realised very quickly that what Serge offers is one of in a kind. This has also inspired me to take this way of being into the relationships that I have in all area's of my life and these are deepening moment by moment. Serge is most definitely a living legend.

Vicky Cooke

5/3/2015 12:50:33 pm

What a really lovely relationship and friendship. I relate to all you have said about Serge, it is so true. I have never met anyone like him with regards to his consistency, committment, dedication and deep and genuine care for people. I have known Serge for over 9 years and have learnt so much from him not only by what he presents and represents but by observing how he is with others, how he lives. He is incredibly inspiring. I could also relate to what you said here 'I have been able to speak a voice that was deep inside of me but that was afraid to come out. It was a voice that was buried under many other things.' This is something I am currently really aware of, I can feel how I have lived in an anxiousness and not let myself just be me, but slowly slowly I can feel the anxiousness coming to a halt within my body and the voice that is still and wise within able to be.

Lorraine Harris

18/3/2015 04:00:25 am

I can relate to what you say about a voice being hidden under many other things and the anxiousness I felt about speaking up in a group but like you, slowly the voice within feels safe enough to speak up again, thanks to the inspiration of Serge Benhayon and his consistency that never wavers, never judges and just allows each individual to come to where they choose to be in their own time.

Rebecca Briant

25/3/2015 03:36:02 am

I think a lot of people suffer from what you describe Vicky, a sense of anxiousness or unease about being themselves, I can say that I have often found myself trying to fit in, feeling very on edge as I feel my way through an encounter. And yet with Serge it could not be further from the case, he has an ability to put anyone at ease, as I too have watched him and his consistency with everyone he meets, he allows even the most untrusting person to learn to trust again.

Maryline Decompoix

28/3/2015 11:47:24 pm

"I can feel how I have lived in an anxiousness and not let myself just be me". I can relate so much to your sentence Vicky. Thanks to Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine I am in the continuing process of claiming more of me every day and this feels great.

Judy Young

5/3/2015 01:40:44 pm

This is the most beautiful testimonial of a man, Serge Benhayon, that I can say is absolute truth. I met Serge nine years ago and have watched his love of all equally so. Ray I too observed Serge when I first met him waiting for the moment he would not be love and nine years on I am still waiting. There has not ever been a single moment he has not been Love and I know there never will be because he lives the love that he is and we all are.

mary sanford

6/3/2015 04:20:59 am

So well said Ray and Judy, Serge Benhayon shows us all true love and that we can be this too if we so choose it. Like you Judy I have known Serge for nine years and in that time he has been nothing but the love that he is. And he share this love with everyone he meets he is for me the most remarkable man I have ever had the pleasure to know.

Deb McBride

5/3/2015 03:57:43 pm

This is an open and beautiful sharing about friendship. A friendship that is not an exclusive or static thing but a two way, always evolving, always developing relationship that has love as its foundation. What an inspiration. Thank you Ray for sharing this most divine and personal account of your friendship with Serge Benhayon for us all to benefit.

Luke Yokota

7/4/2015 07:52:56 pm

A ground breaking way to be in a friendship, however so natural to do so. To have constant development (evolution) with everyone you have a relationship with.
Now that is something magical

David

30/6/2017 09:59:40 pm

Deb what you share is very special, for many people they have a few select friendships, they treat one person different to others, what Serge shows is love is equal for all and there is no treating on one person more than another. Its very beautiful to watch and deeply enriching to feel.

Dianne Trussell link

5/3/2015 05:25:19 pm

What you've shared Ray is the quality of love everyone always wants but can't seem to find. Because we were not looking within ourselves! That's a wonderful thing about friendship with Serge Benhayon - the reflection is so loving and consistent that you eventually do break through and look within yourself, and find all that love there too. You are a living testimony to love, Ray.

David Nicholson

16/3/2015 01:31:56 pm

Dianne I love what you share here. There is no way not to be inspired by the consistent love that Serge Benhayon lives and shows in everything - no matter how long that may take. I know that through my friendship with Serge I have been inspired to trust and appreciate the world again - as I've rebuilt my trust in myself.

Natalie Hawthorne

17/3/2015 02:31:53 pm

Dianne that is exactly what happens when you meet Serge, you are reflected this enormous love that we are and then encouraged to connect to that love which is within yourself. Deepening that relationship to the love that we are and naturally all the things that we have claimed to be us from the outside slowly fall away. This love is pure and divine, just how Serge is and this is equally within us all.

Rowena Stewart

30/3/2015 03:07:00 pm

So true Dianne, that is the real joy of knowing Serge Benhayon and one that he celebrates too, the day when we finally decide to look within and find we are made of the same love, joy and wisdom. All it needs then is the same commitment to live these qualities and more in our every day lives and Ray is a beautiful example of this choice.

Meg Valentine

10/4/2015 03:32:06 am

Spot on Dianne, this is the kind of relationship everyone is looking for.

Lorraine Harris

27/7/2015 06:04:18 am

What you say is so true Meg, everyone is looking for this kind of relationship. Not only is love reflected to us by Serge but we know it is within us all. No need to search outside anymore.

sandra williamson

28/6/2015 07:27:36 pm

So well said Diane: the reflection Serge lives is so loving and consistent that you can’t help but feel it is all true with in us all.

Mary-Louise Myers

5/3/2015 05:27:43 pm

Every time I am with Serge I too feel fully met and loved by him as if I am the most important person in the world. I was sitting at the kitchen table at the Lighthouse in Somerset one year and Serge walked by heading to a presentation he was about to give. He stopped, asked me how I was, now, how often is this a throw away line, well it is never that way for Serge, I answered and his response was so embracing and exactly what I needed to hear that I burst into tears of joy with the amount of love and support that came my way not only from what he said to me but also from his presence. His way of always making it about people first has inspired me to be with others in this same way and my relationship with myself and others has deepened and developed immensely over the years.

Mary-Louise, your true account was beautiful to read and I can feel and visualise the moment you and Serge had together. Serge is a wonderful example for us all on our relationship with ourselves and all people. It takes your day and interractions with others to a whole new level!

Judy Young

23/4/2015 06:10:03 pm

Absolutely Francene, I felt and saw Mary-Louise and Serge and Love and Joy

Eva Rygg

6/3/2015 11:01:13 pm

Beautifully said Mary-Louise, and something that a lot of us have experienced with Serge - he expresses exactly what is needed at any given moment. Being at the receiving end of that is absolute joy, becuase you can feel what is being offered to you is truth, plain and simple. For most people this is deeply touching and very inspiring.

Lorraine Harris

20/3/2015 05:29:36 am

Absolutely Eva, your words sum up for me the joy felt when exchanging moments with Serge and yes, it was beautifully said Mary-Louise.

Rebecca Briant

14/3/2015 05:45:21 am

I agree Mary-Louise, Serge has an amazing way of saying exactly the right thing, in a way that says so much more than the words he uses and its an amazing thing to feel. So often the line 'how are you?" can be thrown away with no real care to the answer, and in the same way 'fine' or 'okay' are equally thrown around no matter how far from the truth they may be. With Serge there is a genuine care when he asks how you are, and the answer actually matters.

Otto Bathurst

I love this mini story. And it makes me think about the zillion of times when I have responded to someone in a robotic fashion, trotting out the expected and socially accepted reply. Yet what if that person was actually crying out for help? And it's vice-versa to me as well. What does it tell us about humanity when time, after time, after time, we default to rebuffing our brothers with the bog-standard response. So many zillions of opportunities missed to connect with someone, to share a moment of truth. It doesn't have to be an indulgent, lengthy, conversation...in fact, the words don't necessarily have to change at all...it is just what is behind the words. It is something that I have begun to play with and already I can testify to some amazing responses. Thank you Mary Louise for your story that has reminded me of the immense importance of even the tiniest of inter-actions.

Sarah

16/7/2015 04:12:50 pm

Hi Otto,
I could really relate to the robotica responses I have been dishing out my whole life. Sometimes at work I get so caught up in the next thing I need to do I often walk of mid sentence with people too. Giving people the space to be able to answer a question as simple as 'how are you today?' is areal gift. I know how I feel when Serge asks me how I am doing and it is not a throw away line.

Jennifer McGee

24/7/2015 05:49:21 am

I also find this mini story of how Serge is available and open to everything and everyone in each moment a great reminder to not be on automatic with people. Instead stop, feel and meet people fully in each moment without the need for protection or escape.

Lorraine Harris

28/7/2015 11:27:42 pm

Brilliant Otto - yes I have been on auto-pilot on occasions in the past, normally at something like a cocktail party where polite conversation is seen as the norm. On those types of occasions, I was often not truly present with someone and wishing to move on as quickly as possible. As you say, zillions of opportunities missed. Now I see every meeting as a chance to share moments in time together, whether fleeting or for a longer conversation and some amazing things have happened as a result.

Hannah Morden

18/10/2015 04:14:52 am

Yes - why do we ask 'how are you' and the response always be 'good' as if it is a recording everyone regurgitates when there is so much more to who we are. It is what you say Otto - a missed opportunity to connect with someone. And you are right - it is about what is behind the words that counts. I am going to make a point this week of answering people with absolute truth behind my words - rather than a bumbling fear of saying or sharing what is really there to be said .Why are we so guarded - is it pride we are scared of hurting, letting our guard down and appearing weaker for doing so? Such a huge an interesting question to ponder...

Natalie Hawthorne

30/3/2015 05:42:43 am

Thanks Mary-Louise for sharing what most would think to be a tiny little moment in the day when some asks you how you are but what you experienced with Serge was 10000 x more than this and then some. The complete fullness of who he is and how he lives all that he is cradled you. I love what Otto has express how many zillion times have those opportunities been missed.

Rowena Stewart

9/4/2015 02:40:47 pm

Thank you Mary-Louise, that is a beautiful example of the complete way that Serge is with everyone. He never wastes words. When he asks a question he is interested in the answer, when he engages with a person he brings all his attention and focus to them, he brings his entire presence to that moment. A moment with Serge (or indeed any member of his family) is never cluttered with his problems or workload, it always feels clear and bright, like a fresh spring day. This is a rare thing to experience, but it is something we are all capable of and I have learnt a great deal from his consistent example of what it means to love people.

Zoe Sherrin

25/4/2015 06:55:51 am

Wow it is so true Mary-Louise, the quality of presence I feel from Serge, even in a simple hello is incredible, completely held in his love just the same as he has for everyone. It inspires me to be the same, no polite offerings or throw away comments, every word I speak carries my quality and affects all.

Kathleen Baldwin

5/3/2015 05:30:52 pm

Ray this is a great testimonial as it demonstrates and delivers everything that you are saying. I can feel the love and appreciation in every word. I feel the equality and knowing you and Serge as I do I feel the absolute truth in your words.Serge Benhayon is all that you say as are you. Thank you for sharing your love with us all.

Ariana Ray

7/3/2015 03:39:47 am

Appreciation is something we do hold back on, it's almost as if we can't let ourselves appreciate an other or each other, but here there is no holding back, you present a story of true friendship. It is a great support for us all to read - that this is a way we can live too. Thank you.

Leonne Sharkey

5/3/2015 05:51:34 pm

This was lovely to read Ray. I have been witness to everything you describe and absolutely agree that Serge Benhayon's patience, care and connection with everyone he interacts with is second to none.

Stephen Gammack

5/3/2015 05:52:48 pm

Ray, you express so well the qualities I have also seen in Serge Benhayon, the way he always has time for everyone and how he is able to make everyone feel special. It is brilliant to know that we all have this quality within us and I can feel from knowing Serge that I am now a little closer to sharing this with everyone, and not shying away from being everything that I am and know I want to be.

Simon Voysey

5/3/2015 06:38:29 pm

I have written on another website that when you meet truth, you just know it. For some time when attending events held by Serge Benhayon, like Ray, I was thinking it was too good to be true. But it was not that I didn't feel the truth, or the love that was being offered. It was the doubts I had of myself, about being worthy of receiving, claiming and offering others that same quality of love. This is what can be incredibly challenging about what Serge presents -both in word and in the energy that can be felt. It brings all one's own stuff up and it is easy to project it onto Serge, or those who have already opened up to love and claimed it in their own way. Having realised it was my stuff and having let go to a large extent of my issues, I have become more in awe of the consistency of what Serge offers. The other amazing thing is how it doesn't matter if you are new or have been studying what Serge presents for a long time, you are met with the same consistency of attention, equal-ness and love as anyone else.

Stephanie Stevenson

20/3/2015 03:34:01 pm

Beautifully expressed Simon. This has been key for me too -
"Having realised it was my stuff and having let go to a large extent of my issues, I have become more in awe of the consistency of what Serge offers".
In nearly 7 years I have never experienced anything other that consistency and love with Serge Benhayon and as I open more to this, the depth of my appreciation of what this one man (SB) has inspired in my choices in life is beyond words. His one line email responses or verbal communication are pure gold as they offer everything in that moment.

Rebecca Briant

26/3/2015 06:04:53 am

I agree Simon, for me meeting Serge felt a lot like coming home, because there is something undeniable about him and what he presents. It can be challenging at times, but only because I am not used to being seen for all of who I am and everything I could be, and excepting a level of love like that takes time

Lorraine Harris

30/10/2015 02:33:25 am

Yes Rebecca, it feels like coming home and also it can be challenging at times as we let go of all the old ideals and beliefs that hold us back from being all that we are. Never too soon or too late!

Hannah Morden

25/11/2015 09:22:24 pm

Hi Simon - I love you claiming here ' when you meet truth you just know it' - This is very powerful and I look at society today - the trouble is we have found our way so far from the truth that for anything to be true, it needs to be studied, analysed and proved by an official source.
Is that really how far we have to go if we know in our inner hearts something is true? Universal Medicine is truth in every sense and every part of my body knows that. I don't need scientific evidence because I am the evidence. That might be far too simple for people to understand, such as the detractors, but I stand by a way of living that has been around for eons and what has given me the choice to be more responsible.

Richard Mills

6/3/2015 12:27:26 am

I first met Serge just over four years ago and like Ray, I was looking for the trick. Well, today I can absolutely state without reservation that there is no trick - unless learning to be more self-loving, self-nurturing and more of who I truly am is considered a trick. We can all do it if we choose to - of that I have no doubt whatsoever - and if you choose to allow Serge to be your friend along the path, you will have made a true friend for life.

Francene

6/3/2015 02:08:24 am

Ray I met you around the time you probably met Serge and as I just love you and your shop have interracted with you virtually every week since then. For me to see the real Ray coming out over the years has always inspired me and left me asking you questions, in between crunching those numbers of my weekly shopping bill. It is never that Serge is held higher but that he offers equal love and wisdom to all. Thank you Ray and Serge - my weekly shop is a revelation in itself!

Shirley-Ann Walters

6/3/2015 02:45:07 am

Ray you have really summed up the beauty and consistency of this wonderful, loving man, that I too am very blessed to be able to call my friend. Thank you.

Joshua Campbell

6/3/2015 03:25:06 am

A relationship like this should be normal to have. Imagine that! This sort of holding and support is what we seek most in our relationships with others.

Rebecca Briant

24/3/2015 06:06:55 am

I agree Joshua, imagine if every person had at the least one relationship like this in their life, the impact it could have and the influence on every other relationship

Bernard Cincotta

6/3/2015 03:26:58 am

A lovely testimonial Ray; I too have been watching Serge and I am astounded by the level of intimacy Serge has with people, like you say weather he has known them for 5 years or 5 minutes. And in 5 minutes people really open up and feel that no subject is off limits. I have never met anybody so consistent.

Rebecca Briant

6/3/2015 03:52:59 am

I have also spent many years observing Serge, seeing the way he interacts with everyone he meets, and it is with complete assurance and nearly 8 years experience, that I can say Serge is one of the most consistent people I have ever met. He is always unfailingly polite, respectful and loving with every person he meets whether your a old friend or a stranger, and it is an amazing thing to observe, experience and then take into your own life and see that it is possible to also be as consistent with everyone you meet. Serge has an amazing way of inspiring others - not to change, be different or be like him, but to be everything he knows they can be.

Hannah Morden

29/11/2015 09:49:58 pm

I agree Rebecca - Serge has never ever asked anyone to change, he has simply inspired thousands to be everything they already are. It is incredible when we rid ourselves of all the things we've created that are not us.
What an absolute gift for us to start to trust and love ourselves again.
Serge Benhayon has been a mirror for us all.

Rebecca Briant

6/3/2015 04:17:32 am

I have also spent many years observing Serge, seeing the way he interacts with everyone he meets, and it is with complete assurance and nearly 8 years experience, that I can say Serge is one of the most consistent people I have ever met. He is always unfailingly polite, respectful and loving with every person he meets whether you’re an old friend or a stranger, and it is an amazing thing to observe, experience and then take into your own life and see that it is possible to also be as consistent with everyone you meet. Serge has an amazing way of inspiring others - not to change, be different or be like him, but to be everything he knows they can be.

Robert Moussalli

6/3/2015 06:30:27 am

Ray, from what I too have observed over the last 4-5 years you have indeed so beautifully captured the essence of Serge Benhayon... a man of immense beauty, grace and love.

Gabriele Conrad

8/3/2015 06:40:24 pm

... and a man who has inspired and continues to inspire thousands of people, a man who shows us all that we are more in all ways.

Kylie Connors

6/3/2015 07:33:39 am

Ray, I love everything you have written here, and I can relate to it in full. Serge has also been my best friend since day 1, and the amazing thing is that there are hundreds of people that also have this same friendship. I don't know anyone else in this world who can say that they have so many 'best friends', but Serge doesn't reserve his love, or 'his all' for just a few - he shares it ALL with everyone.
Hundreds of people can share how touched they have been by this gorgeous man. I have been immensely supported by, and deeply honoured in my friendship with Serge over the past 10 years. At first I was almost surprised that someone could be so incredibly genuine, generous, supportive and loving -unconditionally. But, at the same time, it felt so absolutely normal - the way I have always known that people could be with each other.
Thank God for friends like Serge Benhayon, living the love that is equal and so natural within us all.

mary sanford

27/3/2015 01:11:38 am

Absolutely Kylie, Serge doesn't reserve his love it is there for all equally so, when I think about this it is staggering who else in the world does this?
Who else in the world teaches that love is the foundation of who we all are and that this love is what we all crave whether we admit to this or not. We have again a master living amongst us living a normal life and giving us all an opportunity to live a more caring and warm hearted way with each other. We are all blessed to be living in such times again.

Judith Andras

6/3/2015 07:54:24 am

What an amazing testimonial Ray! I can confirm every word as I too had similar experiences with Serge Benhayon, like one day I was sitting on a couch when he came in and I was about to get up to say "Hello" to him when he indicated me to stay, he came over reached out and offered me his hand and helped me up. I felt so deeply honoured and seen in my preciousness like never before in my life, this moment will stay with me forever as a marker of how precious a woman I am.

Deanne Voysey

27/4/2015 06:39:53 am

Thank you Judith for sharing this story, every part of me could feel the deep honouring you were held in and it helps me to also know how precious a woman I am. Serge Benhayon is not gallant he is deeply respectful of men and women alike - thousands can attest to this.

Donna Gianniotis

6/3/2015 07:57:00 am

Beautiful to read your testimonial Ray of your friendship with Serge Benhayon. It is easy to feel the love of what you share with Serge and that indeed it is a true friendship which offers a reflection of the possibility to have this quality of relationship with all. I have also observed how Serge offers what you have described equally to all. Now imagine if we lived in a world where we all had this quality of relating. The beautiful thing is from reading this testimonial I can feel the possibility of this. I am inspired by what you have written to deepen my own relationships.

Andrew Cooper

6/3/2015 09:14:02 am

A truly inspiring love letter that confirms our deepest desire for all relationships to be.

Johanne Brown

6/3/2015 10:16:13 am

Thank you Ray, for writing a great account about Serge Benhayon. Everything you have said is exactly how it is, and how he is with you, he is like this with every single person. No less, no more, only equality in all interactions with people. I love the part where you said “…for me to see that all things I love in him are actually in me…” is a testament to the quality of interaction Serge has with every single person and how when you let love in, it is the key to unlocking the love from within oneself out, then life becomes about love in all that we do.

Matilda Clark

6/3/2015 11:58:54 am

As I read your article Ray I felt two men walking alongside one another always equal. Thank you. The absolute friendship always there, and as you said all you had to do was 'catch up' with the fact that you are all that Serge is. The grace and consistency with which Serge conducts himself in everything he does continues endlessly to lay the foundation for us to know and live our place beside him and alongside each other. How the quality of a wave from a car changes lives. I continue to watch and learn.

Brooke Taylor

6/3/2015 12:54:42 pm

This is so beautifully written, Ray. What you have expressed about Serge is what I too have felt from him - his love and friendship is deeply supportive and holds all as equal.

Jennifer McGee

6/3/2015 01:26:51 pm

Thank you Ray, your testimonial describes so beautifully the depth of love that Serge Benhayon offers to all so equally. So consistent, unwavering and ever-deepening. I too can feel the inspiration from this commit and also deepen my own relationships in love.

Mike Stevenson

6/3/2015 02:27:53 pm

Ray, so beautifully written. I have known Serge Benhayon for the last four years. Serge radiates love for all. A true family man. The only side you will see from Serge, is love, openness, honesty, integratity.
A true human being in the sense of the word.

Beverly Carter

6/3/2015 02:29:42 pm

Dear Ray, such a beautiful piece of loving words. How divine to hear a man talk so lovingly of another, so inspiring. Serge is an amazing man & so are you. Thank you

Stephanie Stevenson

6/3/2015 02:31:09 pm

A very true and inspiring testimony Ray. I can relate to every word you say about Serge Benhayon as being of absolute truth. It is (nearly) 7 years since first meeting Serge at a Universal Medicine presentation and he has remained consistent and true always. There have been times I have felt uncomfortable with having underlying emotional issues exposed, and this soon balances out again as the truth of what has been expressed is felt. A wholehearted deep appreciation for the joy that I feel inside, more often than not, since meeting Serge.

Rebecca Briant

6/3/2015 03:37:21 pm

I love the part where you are driving Serge's car and everyone is waving - its such a simple thing, but such an obvious sign of Serge's presence in the community, and his love for everyone, even when he is driving. What you have shared Ray is the way one mans capacity to love inspires all those around him to be equally that - literally making the world a better place.

Jonathan Cooke

6/3/2015 04:45:43 pm

A couple of things you mention strike a chord Ray. One gets so used to artificiality and sophistication in one's dealings in life that upon meeting Serge for the first couple of times one is taken aback by his simple, honest and direct approach to everything. As you say, you find yourself thinking 'What's the trick"? I suppose that we have so over-complicated everything by living in our 'Heads' that we have marginalised our natural built-in sense of feeling, and have become suspicious of it. Secondly you mention that Serge treats every moment like it is the most important moment there is. I have now discovered for myself that the quality of life moves up several notches, when we live like this, i.e. making every moment count.

Coleen Hensey

6/3/2015 05:06:23 pm

Absolute truth: "He is leading the way in how to be with people. " I look forward to the day when we are all engage equally with each other the way that Serge engages with everyone right now. That would be Heaven on Earth.

Natasha Ragen

6/3/2015 05:48:48 pm

Your account of Serge here Ray is both amazing and profound. What you describe and the way you describe it is absolute evidence of how tender a man can be and how he is able to remain tender in the face of communicating with so many different people. Simply remarkable.

Gill Randall

6/3/2015 08:31:26 pm

I loved reading this beautiful testimony Ray, especially when near the end you say that Serge expresses ' for me to see all the things I love in him are actually in me'. No matter how well anyone knows Serge, he presents the same to us all, and for us all to see that we have the same in ourselves, as is within him. It is truly inspiring.

Maryline Decompoix

6/3/2015 11:02:05 pm

Ray, this is such a loving testimony to your dear friend Serge. To me it is so beautiful to witness real and equal friendship between men with no underlying competition. I never wished to find a trick when I first attended Serge's amazing workshops because straightaway I recognised the prophet in him - the deep ageless teachings were coming back to meet us and what a joy to recognise truth !

Eva Rygg

6/3/2015 11:13:10 pm

Ray, I love the no fuss feeling in your testimony - it is such a great statement to the down to earth man that Serge Benhayon is, and it is very typical of the way that he meets everyone and his ability to make others feel absolutely equal. It is truly beautiful to feel this deep honoring of two men's friendship.

Natalie Hawthorne

23/3/2015 06:21:33 am

Yes Eva it really is wonderful to feel the openness of this relationship you have shared Ray between you and Serge, that these two men have this much love for each other and it is so natural. Extremely beautiful to feel.

Thomas Scott

7/3/2015 02:14:56 am

Absolutely beautiful expression of one mans love for another with no reservation or holding back, a deeply inspiring testimonial Ray, thank you.
Serge Benhayon holds everyone as an equal with love and presence, this I have experienced and at times has been very confronting. Because it exposes that I saw myself as less than others and play that game of feeling unworthy, it was painful but good to see and feel this.
Through the work of Serge Benhayon and the loving care of the Universal Medicine practitioners, Michael Benhayon, Curtis Benhayon, Caroline Raphael, Kate Greenaway and others, I have been able to reconnect to the amazing, tender deeply caring man that I am and start to appreciate myself, for the first time in my life. I owe my deep appreciation and thanks to these people, and also to myself for choosing to make these loving steps in my life.

Leigh Matson

7/3/2015 02:33:13 am

This is pure gold Ray, thank you so much for sharing your relationship with Serge Benhayon. What really struck me in this testimonial was the fact that treating others in and with the same love he holds for himself is just normal for him, it is not a grand, fanfare event, just everyday life. To know and feel that the love within him is the exact same as the love that in within me is one thing. Reading this blog and feeling that to be on equal ground with such an amazing man, who is simply expressing that amazingness I have up until the last few years been fervently snuffing and trying to keep from coming out from within me (an ability to be all of my love with anyone and everyone because they too are equally the same), was at first upsetting. But like everything Serge teaches it only rocks the boat to show us what doesn't belong in the boat. Thank you.

Paula Steffensen

7/3/2015 04:06:55 am

"The more our friendship continues to grow, the more I see that we are just the same. Serge Benhayon is a truly loving, caring, beautiful man and friend and I am just the same. The wonderful thing about this is that Serge has wanted this all along, not for me to be like him but for me to see that all the things I love in him are actually in me." This so beautifully expresses what we all yearn for most - to be seen and felt as the gorgeous loving souls we all are equally.

Anne Hart

7/3/2015 04:56:47 am

Ray your testimony is profoundly beautiful. Your observation of people waving to his car because they have been deeply met by him in day to day interactions is so telling - always giving 100% attention to whomever he meets, that speaks volumes of the quality of friendship that is on offer to us all.

Marika Cominos

7/3/2015 06:30:39 am

Ray, what a beautiful expression you portray of Serge Benhayon. And as you say 'all the things I love in him are actually in me'...this is the gift that we are all graced with by knowing Serge...a consistent inspiration & a true role model.

Shami Duffy

7/3/2015 09:48:08 am

Thank you Ray, you have shown us what is possible we decide to let love in and express love out.

Rowena Stewart

7/3/2015 01:47:22 pm

Thank you Ray for such a deeply beautiful testimonial and I know you speak for so many who have experienced the deeply loving friendship that Serge offers everyone, by "the simple fact that everyone he meets, he actually meets". When one meets Serge Benhayon, he is absolutely 100% present in that moment. That moment is never cluttered with his stuff, the long hours of tireless work, the problems and issues that he has to deal with, these things never interfer with his interaction with anyone. I can only agree with every word you have written and I too have been inspired to make my life about people, a joyful work in progress. I bless the day I met him and responded to his gentle, clear and loving friendship.

Lorraine Harris

7/8/2015 05:30:43 am

What you said about Serge is so true Rowena.'When one meets Serge Benhayon, he is absolutely 100% present in that moment. That moment is never cluttered with his stuff, the long hours of tireless work, the problems and issues that he has to deal with, these things never interfer with his interaction with anyone'. When I thought about this, I realised how unique it is to have someone not bring their stuff into a conversation when they have so much on their plates. Serge is truly inspirational, showing us by example, who we truly are. Thank you Ray for sharing this beautiful friendship with us all.

Julie Matson

7/3/2015 03:22:28 pm

Thank you Ray for sharing your feelings so openly and honest about your friendship with Serge Benhayon, it brought tears to my eyes. It is true that Serge treats everyone the same, as equals and he waits patiently for us to catch up and be the same with him. One thing that has helped me to trust again is Serge's consistency, I like you have been watching him for many years and it is finally sinking in that we are all love equally.

marshall chang

7/3/2015 05:00:14 pm

Ray, you have just written the most epic love letter from a man to another man and have redefined the term 'bro-mance'. In all seriousness though, there are few words to describe the beauty in what you have expressed in this testimonial. It really does encapsulate the unwavering and steady way Serge is with everyone and how this inspires you to be the same way too.

Vicky Cooke

27/3/2015 08:11:36 am

Thats lovely ... a love letter from one man to another. Yes it is so true Ray has encapsulated the unwavering and steady way Serge is with everyone and also shows what a good, true and solid friend he is to have. Gorgeous.

Hannah Flanagan

7/3/2015 07:07:15 pm

Gorgeous Ray - so honest and so true!

Elena Light

7/3/2015 07:47:14 pm

Dear Ray, you write so beautifully and openly about your relationship with Serge and the evolution of this friendship. It is very moving and healing at the same time to feel how equally loving we all can be if we allow this love to flow.
Everything you wrote about your interactions with Serge, his support and generosity I experienced myself. I appreciate greatly our relationship and learning constantly to be as open to people and let them in lovingly so-as Serge does every single moment of his life.
He is an incredible man living simple yet profound life who is an example for all the humanity showing us how joyful life could be if we living it-fully.

Kehinde James

8/3/2015 01:17:01 am

What is shown so beautifully by Serge is that everyone in life is a friend and what is important is 'making life about people'.

Joan Calder

8/3/2015 05:42:46 am

"Through the 5-year friendship I have had with Serge I have grown enormously. My family has grown, my business has grown and my friendships have grown. It is a fact that because of my friendship with Serge my life is more loving and more enjoyable. The relationships I have with people around me at home and in my businesses are truly amazing." I am seeing this happening as well Ray, all around me in the lives of the students of Universal Medicine, and in my own family, because of the teachings of Serge and the way he lives them with such integrity, and the openness and love and respect with which he treats everyone.

So true Joan, it is the natural outcome of choosing to engage with Serge Benhayon and the wise teachings of Universal Medicine and is living proof that choosing a life of love supports not only the individual but the whole community, as we grow in love once more.

"Serge has never changed, in fact the qualities that ‘struck’ me on that first day have deepened further". Ray I've observed this too and it's a reminder that there is such a depth of care and love that can be developed for ourselves and for others that makes a huge difference to the way we are with one another.

David Nicholson

8/3/2015 11:07:05 am

Ray I too have felt and known that incredible and consistent quality of unwavering love that Serge Benhayon lives. It's so true that it felt the same the day I first met him and every day since. No matter what has been going on that consistent-ness is there always. It is very confirming to appreciate this.

Naren Duffy

This is gorgeous, Ray. I love how Serge's dedication to making life about other people has so clearly had an affect on those who know him. Not only to those who live with him, or attend his presentations, but even to his neighbours. A clear example of how we can all make life different to what we think it is, just by making about "us" instead of "me".

Eva Rygg

9/3/2015 03:08:53 am

So true Naren, now we truly start to see to what extent Serge's love for humanity is affecting us and what an enormous difference it makes in peoples lives. This nothing short of amazing and needs to be studied.

Kevin McHardy

Dear Ray this testimonial has taken expression to a higher level, the truth and love in your writing moved me beyond words.

Rebecca Turner

8/3/2015 04:10:03 pm

A beautiful testimonial Ray. The love is radiating from the page! It is gorgeous to read of your friendship with Serge and how this has enabled both of you to grow. Truly inspiring.

Lucinda Garthwaite

8/3/2015 04:53:55 pm

"The wonderful thing about this is that Serge has wanted this all along, not for me to be like him but for me to see that all the things I love in him are actually in me." Thank-you Ray, for the heart that you have written with and sharing this beautiful journey to true friendship.

adam warburton

9/3/2015 09:33:14 am

Thanks Ray - spoken from the heart. I have never seen Serge hold anyone any different to anyone else. In the 8 years I have known him he has shown the consistent hand of friendship to so many people - equally so. The love, care, dedication and deep relationships he has with so many people is something that needs to be celebrated and studied, especially in an age in which connection is a word we are more likely to associate with technology than with people.

Raymond Karam

1/8/2015 06:26:57 am

Thank you Adam Warburton and I couldn't go past this line and I agree, "The love, care, dedication and deep relationships he has with so many people is something that needs to be celebrated and studied, especially in an age in which connection is a word we are more likely to associate with technology than with people." This is so true and spoken in a way that is hard to deny and you would have to ask why Serge Benhayon hasn't been "celebrated and studied" at this point. Thanks again Adam.

Willem Plandsoen

9/3/2015 01:51:17 pm

What a great contribution to your friendship to Serge, Ray. I can feel this friendship is there for me as well. And for everybody else equally so. I feel very blessed having Serge in my life, and this blog has reminded me that Serge is not only the unwavering support he has always been but also is a true friend, if I see just him be that friend. It is me that has to allow this friendship, for he was this friend all along.

Kevin McHardy

9/3/2015 02:01:29 pm

After reading your testimonial yesterday Ray I carried it with me all day, your words blew me away. I have also seen how Serge is with everyone, whether it's a dear friend like yourself or someone he has just met and as you say the quality of his love and the way he is doesn't change. He has shown us a new standard of how we can relate to everyone not just a chosen few mates.You have inspired me Ray to be more like that, thanks you so much.

Steve Matson

9/3/2015 03:03:09 pm

Your words are so powerful Ray. I have known Serge for over 9 years and he has always treated anyone equally with love. As you have stated Serge has shown us we are all the same… forever equal.

Conor Turley

9/3/2015 04:52:23 pm

When I attended my first Universal Medicine event, I had never met Serge before, although we had been in email contact before - and when I arrived, he came up to me with a big hug and told me how welcome I was. I felt incredibly welcomed to be there.

Mary Adler

9/3/2015 04:58:37 pm

Thank you Ray for shining a light on the essence of true friendship. Serge Benhayon has consistently shown me the loving hand of friendship, whether this is to share my joy when I feel the love grow within me or when he has offered unwavering support when I share a trouble with him. I wholeheartedly agree when you say "because of my friendship with Serge my life is more loving and more enjoyable".

Gretel Willis

9/3/2015 05:41:35 pm

Its beautiful Ray how your relationship with Serge has brought out the qualities you love in him to become part of your everyday livingness as well. Thank you for this blog and letting us get to know you and Serge a bit deeper.

Coleen

14/3/2015 09:32:29 am

I was also struck by the beauty of one man speaking so lovingly about another man. The manner in which Ray speaks of his inspiration and how he unfolded from that is gorgeous and so lovely to read.

Susan Lee link

10/3/2015 12:34:10 am

That was truly beautiful to read Ray. It feels as though have put into words all those truly precious moments that inspire us to realise that we too are everything that Serge is when we let go of all the worldliness that we have attracted in the past.

Alison Pearson

10/3/2015 04:45:33 am

Ray, what you share about your friendship with Serge is so beautiful. I love the part when you drove Serge's car and had a LOT of waves. "Serge treats every moment like it is the most important moment there is", that is so true. As I left a workshop to catch a plane home, Serge looked at me and nodded goodbye and the love in that one gesture was immense. What you write is so inspiring Ray, how we present ourselves to the world is of our choosing, the quality of our friendships is a reflection of our choices. I am inspired to be more of me. Thank you.

Concetta ODonnell

10/3/2015 05:27:34 am

Thank you Ray for sharing openly and heart-fully this truth. I too have attended his presentation and done the same assessment in observation. For months I had heard his voice on audio. It was the only thing that really cut through to truth with clarity. His voice was supper soothing. And I felt a tremendous support and an equalness that stated this knowing is also the foundation in me. With never any hooking obligations to do, only to be. So I attended my first retreat two years ago to see for myself "HOW" this man IS? To feel for myself the quality of the man will show through. Action speaks louder than words. AND THEY DID. Thankfully, I will never be the same. I have tremendous love and respect for Serge.

Lily Nikora

10/3/2015 05:36:38 am

Ray - what an absolute blessing it is to read your testimonial, and feel the truth in your words about Serge, and his gentle yet profound impact on others.
I loved the part about driving his car and the waves to and from others... and that a simple gesture such as a wave could convey so much love and confirmation to others.
So much of what you write resonates - I find it a joy to observe him, and feel, and know, the grace that is extended to all.
Thank you for such a beautiful testimonial, it is one that I can read many many times and feel the blessing in it.

Lily Nikora

10/3/2015 05:54:04 am

Ray, I personally have never come across a friendship between two men, that is honoured, and held with such tenderness, and, is described in such a loving way as you have done.
This is very beautiful, and inspiring - thank you.

Greg Jordan

10/3/2015 06:06:11 am

what a great testimonial Ray , telling it how it is . It is very rare and inspirational to have someone like Serge in our lives .Thanks for sharing your relationship and development with us all.

Monica Gillooly

10/3/2015 06:43:34 am

Ray, such an exquisite testimonial of what true relating and friendship is - I have this sense of two gorgeous lovely men expressing this with each other and can feel how we are all that loveliness, and how those who live it inspire us to live it too. Serge has inspired you and me and now you're inspired me all over again with your words today.

matthew brown link

10/3/2015 07:38:45 am

'to see that all the things I love in him are actually in me'. Serge has this wonderful way to allow you to feel this within yourself, even in only a few words you know he's totally there with you. Your testimonial is really beautiful Ray

Ryoko Kimura

10/3/2015 08:39:18 am

This is very beautiful Ray. I love “I have been able to speak a voice that was deep inside of me but that was afraid to come out” and “it is like all the parts of me that I loved have been able to come together in one full package from our friendship“. A really lovely testimonial to “his (Serge Benhayon’s) dedication to people is unsurpassed”. Thank you for writing this.

Wendy Winter

10/3/2015 06:35:09 pm

This is a rare gift of friendship you speak of Ray. One I hope all humanity will attain one day
Whether Serge is leading a workshop on a healing modality, presenting practical teachings which are easy to understand, or sharing a goodbye hug, I feel acceptance and love that is transparent and given equally to everyone he meets.

Rebecca Wingrave

11/3/2015 03:39:44 pm

This is so beautiful to read Ray, I have tears in my eyes. I particularly enjoyed reading 'There is nothing else more important in that moment to him than you and it doesn’t matter who ‘you’ are', it is really lovely to read what you have written about Serge, the way you have described him is also what I have witnessed, his dedication to people and how he holds everyone equally is truly remarkable.

Hannah Morden

11/3/2015 05:16:08 pm

There is a lot we can learn from treating each moment with importance.
Serge has presented to me that appreciation is deeply lacking in ourselves - so to bring this to each moment means I get the most out of it, and so do other people. I love your testimonial Ray, the way in which Serge has inspired your way of living is the same for me too.

Joan Calder

12/3/2015 04:24:17 am

A beautiful testimony of true friendship, Ray. I love the way you observed Serge from the beginning and found him to be the same with everyone he meets, and also that he DOES meet them in a way very few can. This shows a knowledge of himself and a choice to live his life from that knowledge that surpasses anyone else I have ever known.

Chan Ly

12/3/2015 06:22:55 am

This is such a beautiful and loving testimonial. So, so inspiring and deeply heart warming. I can feel the love and close friendship between you and Serge Benhayon. Thank you for sharing this Ray and allowing us to feel what true friendship is all about and the love that you've express so openly is absolutely amazing.

Aimee Edmonds

12/3/2015 07:26:18 am

So beautiful Ray how you describe true friendship in every detail with Serge. I can relate to the feeling of when interacting with Serge, being met as the most important person in that moment and seeing this is how he is time and time again with everyone is so inspiring. In this, I now know how it can truly be in all relationships.

Lorraine Harris

10/8/2015 05:53:16 am

I agree Aimee, with what you say about being met by Serge - we now know how it can truly be in all relationships. What a gift!

David Nicholson

12/3/2015 10:31:55 am

Ray I've also observed the fact that Serge Benhayon treats every moment as being everything. From a short conversation, passing glance or smile. The way I feel held and honoured as me being everything is quite something - there is no wonder that people will then stop and truly wave as you drove his car. As a true friend Serge certainly is the role model for me in my other relationships.

Jonathan Stewart

12/3/2015 04:43:23 pm

I love reading the testimonial and know I will return to visit it many times to come. There are so may observations that you make Ray that say so much, are profound reflections of how Serge is the living inspiration that he is. The one I most connect with today as I relate so strongly to it and have so much catching up still to do is, "He was my best friend from the first time I met him, but it was just me who had to catch up with the friendship".

Denise Cavanough

12/3/2015 05:09:52 pm

Words cannot express to what level meeting Serge has changed the way I now live my life. No one that I have ever met has
had such a profound affect on me, to have me look at every tiny part of my life in an absolute different way. Taking responsibility for my life and every thing that I choose to do. Expressing what I feel, and slowly losing the anxiousness that has always been with me. Letting go of fear. This truly loving man is the absolute reflection of what true love is. People talk about life changing moments, Serge inspires a life changing life.

Anne McRitchie

13/3/2015 08:05:53 am

Denise, I can also attest to the fact that “meeting Serge has changed the way I now live my life” and this would be true for most if not everyone who is inspired by Serge to start to take responsibility for their own choices. As you say, Serge a “truly loving man, is the absolute reflection of what true love is”. Serge’s continuing and constant reflection invites us to deepen that same love in ourselves. Meeting Serge is not just a ‘life-changing moment’, but a ‘life-changing life’.

Kate Burns

11/8/2015 12:12:06 pm

Very gorgeous Anne and Denise. Serge inspires a 'life changing life'.

Amelia Stephens

13/3/2015 02:33:52 pm

Serge Benhayon is a great man who is showing the way with how to build loving relationships, and maintain them. There are no emotional carryings on or shenanigans required - just building love in yourself and dedicating to being that around everyone, as a responsibility but also as a way to make life that much more joyfull. I have loved learning about this and applying it in my own life - I know it has made a great difference too.

Jonathan Stewart

13/3/2015 04:21:11 pm

"The support he [Serge] has offered me is just for me to be myself". This is completely and utterly unconditional. One 'knows' instinctively that he has absolutely no other agenda and by doing so one is able to feel one's true self. The self that is of love and genuineness that we had as a child before we become hurt and protected from the knocks of life and which we hide, even from ourselves. He sees that aspect first in everyone he meets equally with absolutely no judgment. It is remarkable and beautiful.

Tony Steenson

13/3/2015 06:25:28 pm

What a gorgeous piece of writing Ray. Like yourself there are many qualities of Serge Benhayon that I have been inspired to introduce into my life, I especially like the lines "It is like Serge treats every moment like it is the most important moment there is. So no matter who is in that moment with him, they are the most important person there is." How Serge is with everyone is my aspiration.

jenny hayes

20/3/2015 09:14:33 pm

These lines are so true, and just go to show the level of love Serge holds everyone in - there are no distractions, ever. That is quite extra-ordinary in our day and age.

David Upfill

14/3/2015 03:52:01 pm

Ray, I love your description of how you observed the way Serge is with people and that this has inspired you to also be that way with people. And that 'making life about people' is now a foundation of the way you live. But not only that, but also the fact that everyone Serge meets is equally as important to him; no one is more, no one is less, everyone is precious and special whether 'he has known them for 5 years or 5 minutes' or is simply waving to them from his car. Your friendship with this amazing man is a blessing for us all. I feel a big part of that beautiful friendship is the fact that you hold each other as equals, something many people may find challenging. Truly inspiring, a gorgeous tribute to friendship and to Serge.

Zoe Sherrin

14/3/2015 08:41:36 pm

Ray I know you and your power of observation is very keen, working as a policeman in the past would have honed your skills incredibly so when you say you watched Serge for a year I know you would have observed acutely and accurately. This knowledge brings even greater strength to your testimonial because there is no trick or anything to catch out; Serge is a dedicated, loving and wonderful friend, as simple and true as that.

Joshua Campbell

14/3/2015 11:26:12 pm

Ray, your piece has continued to inspire me. This is something I am letting myself feel more deeply and appreciate. That is the support and holding and love I feel Serge has held me in and all the love I feel flowing now in my many other relationships. It is truly gorgeous!

Conor Turley

15/3/2015 04:56:32 am

The way Serge is with people is constantly saying 'come and share in the amazing wonders that I have, which you have equally too'.

Hannah Morden

15/3/2015 03:07:25 pm

Serge's unwavering love he has for people still blows me away - and that he can see everyone equal was a foreign concept to me. But now I too understand the absolute beauty in this

Victoria Picone

15/3/2015 07:29:48 pm

"everyone he meets, he actually meets"... I feel these words express so much Ray, and why a meeting with Serge is such a memorable moment; he gives his all. I am deeply inspired to live with such respect for others.

Karin Becker

17/3/2015 05:51:19 am

Thank you Ray for your very clear expression. It is absolutely deeply impressive to observe how Serge Benhayon treats every single person he meets with the same love, respect and openness. Every time he offers the same high level of presence and attention to detail to every exchange no matter what the medium. He is tireless in his dedication to support the evolution of humanity. He is solid as a rock in his expression of Love and Truth. To put it simply, Serge Benhayon is the best friend anyone could ever wish for in this world.

Eva Rygg

24/3/2015 04:45:27 am

I love what you have said here Karin, and I couldn't agree more - Serge Benhayon is certainly the best friend anyone could ever wish for in this world. And he is continuously offering us the reflection that we can all be the same - that he is not special, but that he is making that forever dedicated choice, to make it all about the love for people.

Kylie Connors

25/3/2015 08:51:18 pm

Absolutely Karin, 'Serge Benhayon is the best friend anyone could ever wish for in this world'... and he deeply loves and appreciates everyone in his life.
Serge sees and holds us all as 'the best friend anyone could ever wish for' - appreciating every single detail and all the gorgeousness that others bring into his life.

Janet Williams

17/3/2015 06:37:32 am

Thank you, Ray, what a stunning piece of writing that captures your deep and abiding love for Serge Benhayon, and the life changing inspiration of one man who devotes his entire life to loving humanity.

Mary Adler

17/3/2015 02:22:53 pm

A beautiful testimonial to true friendship. I feel the friendship with every word you have shared. You say "how he was on the first day I saw him is how he is today. Serge has never changed," this is so true, Serge has never changed but I have. With the inspiration of Serge I have made many changes to the way I live and in developing a love and friendship with myself I meet others in this way.

Rachel Mascord

18/3/2015 03:31:08 am

Reading your blog is a healing in itself Ray. Your voice is that of a man who has embraced his tenderness and openness to life and all people. I have watched your gracious evolution and I am inspired by you more than I can say, just as we and so many others are inspired by Serge.
One of the many lines you have written that expresses so beautifully the quality of Serge Benhayon is this:
"The support he has offered me is just for me to be myself."
This is one facet of the extraordinary-ness of Serge. He wants nothing other than for us to be who we are in full.
When he looks at us he sees it all - our vulnerabilities, our seeming weaknesses and through all of that he sees the extraordinary love and power we innately are.
There is nothing more beautiful than the love that Serge offers, because he sees every aspect of us and loves us in full - unconditional love to the power of ten.

Kylie Connors

19/3/2015 09:53:53 pm

Absolutely Rachel. Unconditional love seems to be a term that is so loosely used today. Serge is one of very few people in this world who actually lives it... with everyone... unconditionally. The power of his love is nothing short of miraculous.

Monika Rietveld

19/3/2015 06:51:31 am

'It is like Serge treats every moment like it is the most important moment there is. So no matter who is in that moment with him, they are the most important person there is.' So true and also my experience. Nobody is more loved, more special than another. Whether you meet Serge for the first time or have know him for years his being present and the love he shares is exactly the same. I have never witnessed that before in my life and I apply many aspects of Serge his way of living and being to my life with huge positive effects. Life got so simple and beautiful.

Esther Auf der Maur

19/3/2015 09:28:16 pm

Serge Benhayon will definitely be remembered for hundreds if not thousands of years - as the most important teacher/presenter of our time. Meeting him is meeting our past, present and our future all in one. Having met him has turned out to be the most crucial meeting of my life.

Maryline Decompoix

21/3/2015 04:31:18 pm

I so agree with you Esther, thank you.

Lorraine Harris

9/11/2015 12:05:57 pm

Beautifully said Esther and so true.

Esther Auf der Maur

20/3/2015 05:52:34 am

Ray, your account of your friendship with Serge Benhayon has really touched me deeply. I know all you say to be true, absolutely. And I like to confirm that I feel the same from you; meeting you is always very special, as I always feel met by you.

michelle M Ryan

21/3/2015 04:13:30 pm

I really liked the description you gave of people waving at you driving Serge's car - he really does inspire us to stop and hold each moment as important and as precious as the next.

Nicole Ricketts

21/3/2015 06:12:10 pm

This is so beautiful and so true Ray. It bought tears to my eyes. I love how you said at the beginning 'How he was on the first day I saw him, is how he is today.' I could say the same thing about how i saw him 4 years ago. There is truly not many people I could say this about, but it is completely true - Serge does not waiver, he is so consistent, especially in the way he is with everyone he meets and talks to. Over the last 4 years, he has been nothing but solid with me, always there when I needed him , and I too have taken these same qualities I found in me also, and applied them to my life. My family, friends and work colleagues cannot deny the changes they have seen and felt in me. My relationship with my son and husband has just grown from strength to strength. Thank you for sharing you experience Ray.

Otto Bathurst

22/3/2015 02:06:34 pm

"I have never had a friend like him". Nor me. Serge totally redefines what friendship is. He has no 'best friends' or 'new friends' or 'special friends'. He is absolutely there, with everything that he is, for everyone that he meets so that they can be everything that they already are, equally. Now THAT is what I call a friend.

Eva Rygg

24/3/2015 04:49:38 am

Gorgeous - a friend indeed.

Meg Valentine

27/3/2015 03:42:13 am

Otto - I couldn't have said it better - Serge completely redefines what it means to be and have a friend.

Michelle McWaters

31/3/2015 02:39:51 am

Yes -a friend indeed! When I first met Serge I was met with the everything that he is. I was automatically held in the everything I am too and I got to observe the consistency of his way with everyone. In a room of many no one is excluded and everyone is held in the same loving quality - we are brought together and held together in this quality - he truly inspires brotherhood to a depth that can only be felt, not imagined.

adam warburton

18/4/2015 05:57:54 pm

Serge Benhayon displays the type of friendship that we would all like to display and receive, but are mostly too afraid to do so - for fear of being hurt. What Serge shows us is not so much what a great friend he is, but what love we are all capable of showing each other if we only first learn to let go of the walls of protection.

Peta Lehane

23/3/2015 04:55:48 am

I sat beside you at my very first Unimed event in 2010 and I instantly felt your warmth and brotherly affection. It is of no surprise to read of the amazing friendship you now have with Serge as I too feel it's a friendship I am returning to also. My first connection with Serge allowed me to feel not only the depths I am capable of but to feel safe in that....and I never knew I had felt so unsafe before that! His way of just simply being and presenting all that he is just felt like a coming home for me, a reconnecting with my true brother. Seeing my brother as my friend also, is still delicately unfolding as I learn to trust that I am everything he is, for I love his constancy and dedication - a man, a brother and a friend to us all. I love this testimonial, Ray. Thank you for inspiring me to stop holding my brother at arm's length.

Heather Pope

23/3/2015 03:16:50 pm

I used to look for the "trick" too - how could Serge be so consistent, so understanding and non-judgemental, so present, so completely wise and so joyful every time I saw him? Now I know there is no trick. It is very simply committing to live life in full, with love and dedication. This is available to all of us.

Shami Duffy

23/3/2015 03:23:51 pm

The truth that Serge brings to us is that we are all equal with each other. So, no matter how great and awesome we may perceive him to be, which he is, there is also no doubt that every single person is equally naturally just as divine. And because of Serge being here as a role model, the truth of our equality with each other cannot be denied, only avoided.

David

2/2/2018 10:22:10 am

Shami a great sharing of what Serge brings us all, absolute equality in how Serge lives and how that inspires everyone.

Rachel Murtagh link

23/3/2015 05:53:25 pm

This is a gorgeous testimony Ray. Your words are so true, "Serge has never changed, in fact the qualities that ‘struck’ me on that first day have deepened further and he is more caring with the people I see him with than any person I know." My experience of Serge has been the same and his consistency is a marvel. I chuckled at the car waving and am not surprised how so many people express their love and warmth back to a man who has love and openness for all to the deepest of levels.

Mary Adler

24/3/2015 02:33:25 pm

Serge has inspired me to re-evaluate my life and the purpose of my life. Before I met Serge I, 'me', was the centre of my existence and I was very ready to judge others and decide who would be a friend and who would not. Serge has shown me that 'Life is about people' and this means ALL people. I am learning the true meaning of friendship that means that I also can meet everyone as an equal and connect to the love that is in us all.

andrew mooney

24/3/2015 05:01:23 pm

I can relate here Ray to what you say about Serge meeting you as a best friend from your first meeting and it was you having to catch up and accept his love afterwards. I too was guarded and suspicious at first believing that it was impossible for any human being to love that much but his consistency and dedication to all people equally has gradually won me over.

Greg Jordan link

25/3/2015 06:26:20 am

Thanks Ray for sharing your relationship and appreciation of a great man , Serge Benhayon has been totally transparent in sharing his life and the ageless wisdom with all of humanity even though he knew he would be attacked by the evil that lives with us all in this world . Never has he held back , he has patiently and constantly stood for truth and love as the only way forward for us all .

Giselle

27/3/2015 04:50:16 am

An exquisite account of true friendship Ray, thank you for sharing all you have that is living testament to the remarkable man Serge is.

Richard Mills

27/3/2015 07:56:37 pm

My experience of Serge Benhayon is that he simply wants to share everything that he has and is with anyone and everyone who chooses to accept it. He seeks nothing from others and I feel this is because he knows in his heart we all have and are everything we need already. Trying to give and receive is actually unnecessary when what is truly required is to know that we already are that which we are seeking. Thus, when we are not seeking anything of others, we can indeed be a true friend.

Maryline Decompoix

I agree with you Richard. In the many presentations by Serge Benhayon I have attended, I have witnessed him sharing his all again and again until we understand it with our heart. His dedication is absolute and his generosity to his fellow human beings is total - and so is my gratitude.

Simon Voysey

10/6/2015 06:57:58 am

For me you have touched on something really important here Richard being about how Serge Benhayon loves people so much he just has all this energy for sharing everything and cannot hold back. This is a great lesson for me about expression. If I hold back, I lose a part of that zest and zeal and love for humanity and therefore think I have to try hard to find it again, when really I just need to reconnect and express.

Amelia Stephens

28/3/2015 03:46:55 am

What really stood out for me this time reading this testimonial again was how I can feel there is deeper for me to go with embracing each moment and each person in that moment. Being completely joyful and loving with each person in each moment - especially when 'just' passing on the street. The fact I don't do this further shows me how there is just more to feel in letting people in, allowing them to see me and loving them straight back - with no conditions attached. This has all incredibly inspired by Serge, and of course by reflecting with your writing here Ray so thank you to you both.

Otto Bathurst

28/3/2015 03:56:04 pm

Now THAT is a true friendship!! Ray, your testimony is a total game changer for the whole of humanity. This is the model to which ALL friendships, relationships, interactions, business deals, treaties..should aspire. It's absolute GOLD. So many favourite bits in here. I could write a whole blog about your blog. But this one stands out..."He was my best friend from the first time I met him, but it was just me who had to catch up with the friendship." That says it all about Serge Benhayon. He knows with every cell in his body the amazingness and power that we all have... thus, the invitation of, and the purpose behind his friendships is to inspire us to see what he sees, for ourselves. As I said, that is a true friendship. Thanks Ray. You rock.

Kate Burns

11/8/2015 12:16:23 pm

I'm with you here Otto and 'so many favorite bits', I could 'write a whole blog about' Ray's testimonial. True frendship can be like this. Very very cool.

jonathan stewart

28/3/2015 06:18:46 pm

The inspiration that is Serge is not in what he says but in the way he is and you have portrayed this so eloquently with, " What I did was continue to watch Serge and apply the principles that he valued in his life to my life”.

ADAM WARBURTON

I suspect there are those who may be uncomfortable with so many people publicly expressing their appreciation of one man in particular on a website devoted to his name. However, it is ironic to consider how we readily accept the hate, bigotry, and cynicism on the internet, yet we react so quickly to the outward of appreciation of love in this way. If one man touches so many people and their lives, why should he not publicly receive recognition of the gratitude that so many wish to share? Those who think that such is nothing more than some form of fanatical deference are missing the point. The world is searching for connection, only they are searching high and low in all the wrong places. For connection can only be found within. Once found, that connection is not something that should be diminished or played down, rather it should be confirmed for the truth that it is. Serge Benhayon, via his own divine connection, has inspired many others to search inwardly for their own, and it is this fact more than any other that the many people who comment on this site show gratitude for by expressing their appreciation of the man who inspired them to know life differently, to know that divine connection is the inherent right of us all.

Maryline Decompoix

3/4/2015 02:13:54 pm

I agree Adam, so many so called celebrities run websites devoted to their person only because they are famous for being famous. Serge Benhayon has touched and changed so many lives, his presentations have shown thousands of human beings that it is possible to live a healthy, harmonious and joyful life now by reconnecting to the love that we naturally are. The world needs to know.

Lorraine Harris

29/11/2015 12:34:44 pm

I agree Maryline and Adam, the world needs to know about reconnecting to the love that we naturally are and to know it is the inherent right of us all.

Samantha Davidson

29/3/2015 06:15:19 pm

I deeply appreciate this testimonial, you describe a relationship that I have experienced with Serge myself "The wonderful thing about this is that Serge has wanted this all along, not for me to be like him but for me to see that all the things I love in him are actually in me." I have also witnessed Serge Benhayon for many years be a 'people person' when he is with someone he connects, life is all about relationship in equality. I have felt the difference in my life through experiencing this and sharing this myself.

Gail Fuller

30/3/2015 08:00:00 pm

Serge is a steady rock in our lives that provides solid unbiased support
at any time. No matter how small or large the issue, he patiently listens without imposing his ways to fix the situation for us.
He humbles me by this patience and consistent support, and has provided a living example of how I can do that for others. When it gets to much at times I only have to think of him and the thousands he supports to know that I can do my share to support others as well.

Penny Scheenhouwer

31/3/2015 12:25:02 pm

Ray, what a beautiful expression of friendship. What stood out for me particularly was 'It is like Serge treats every moment like it is the most important moment there is. So no matter who is in that moment with him, they are the most important person there is.' So powerful. If we took nothing else from him but this, imagine how transformed relationships and the world would be.

Esther Andras

31/3/2015 01:00:14 pm

Thank you Ray for your beautiful words. The way you write and hold yourself is true friendship in itself, there is so much love and equalness.

Madeline

1/4/2015 03:13:55 am

Gorgeous testimonial Ray. I could relate to so much of what you talked about re Serge Benhayon, but I loved how you said 'for me he is a living legend.' This was so beautiful to read because at first I heard 'legend' and thought about football and the world of sport, however Serge Benhayon is not a legend because of sport. He is a living legend because he does not waver, change to fit others needs, he does not act differently with someone he has met for 5 minutes or 5 years, he meets everyone with the same quality, holds everybody with equal amounts of love and mainly he is just legendary.

Janet Williams

9/4/2015 05:20:45 am

'Legendary' is such a great word to describe Serge, for me because he never gives up on seeing each and every one of us as equally legendary. No matter how contracted or lesser we play, he reflects back to us our true potential because he only ever connects to our essence which is 100% divine as he is. What a patient and loving man...

Mary Adler

3/4/2015 02:04:29 pm

Beautifully said Ray. I absolutely agree where you say about Serge Benhayon "how he was on the first day I saw him is how he is today" Serge's consistency of love and sharing the Ancient Wisdom with all those who chose to hear has never wavered but has grown as the numbers of those who know they have found the truth continue to increase.

David Nicholson

1/5/2015 03:40:30 pm

When reading Rays testimonial just now that line also stood out for me Mary. It's so easy to take for granted yet it is so so unusual to have someone that is so consistent. The support from that consistent love that Serge lives by changed my very outlook on life - to having trust in people and feeling a purpose in life.

Oliver Hallock

4/4/2015 06:27:06 am

Ray, the way you communicate in written word is just as you do verbally: open and elegantly simple. Inspired by Serge equally, having been held equally, your sentence "Serge Benhayon is a truly loving, caring, beautiful man and friend and I am just the same" says it all, for everyone. Thank you.

Elizabeth McCann

6/4/2015 04:08:29 pm

Ray, this is such a heart warming testimonial on your frienship and deep connection with Serge. Thank you for sharing with us how beautiful it can be, when our friendships are based on true love and equality.

adam warburton

6/4/2015 05:26:51 pm

Thankyou Ray. Society seems to be uncomfortable with those who publicly show their appreciation for another. But one of the things Serge has shown me over the years is that such is the engraining nature of life, that more often than not it takes the inspiration of another to show us the truth of who we really are.

As human beings we are naturally drawn to each other, and this is a quality inherent in all that we should learn to celebrate, rather than condemn from the sidelines whenever such appreciation is not apparently not cast our way.

Eva Rygg

11/4/2015 09:59:16 pm

What you have said here Adam is so true "Society seems to be uncomfortable with those who publicly show their appreciation for another." Serge's reflections to us shows us that we as a society have been living very restricted and not knowing how to truly let people in.

rosanna bianchini

9/4/2015 06:41:30 pm

The way Serge speaks to people and the totally non imposing way he is close and intimate with others is not the 'norm' as you say Ray. This may be hard to understand by just reading the words here, because we have such a skewed and loaded interpretation of what these words mean. As you also did, I observed and learned, that this is a very natural and loving way to be with one another. Serge has been an outstanding role model for me and my family.

Rowena Stewart

16/4/2015 05:40:06 am

Yes very true Rosanna, it is a very natural way for us to learn, by observing others. We begin doing it at an early age and often our roles models have not been able to always show us this level of love on a consistent basis. But I like you and like Ray and so many others, have watched, observed and learned from Serge Benhayon and then applied the learning to our own lives. Serge is a remarkable role model and one I will never grow tired observing and learning from.

Joshua Campbell

11/4/2015 01:18:04 am

How often is it we seek intimacy and true friendship as you have described here Ray? Even from afar I feel touched and held by the Love and dedication lived by Serge and this is how all relationships should be.

Jonathan Stewart

11/4/2015 04:49:04 pm

"He [Serge] is leading the way in how to be with people". There are not any truer words spoken than these.

Paul O'Hara

11/4/2015 05:58:33 pm

Very touching Ray. It is one thing to experience and feel what you have found with this Man, and another to be able to express it so beautifully. You have broken through so many of society's restraints and allowed yourself to fully and lovingly express so much that so many can relate to. Your words hold much light, love and power.

Mary Adler

12/4/2015 03:24:02 pm

Beautifully said Ray. Serge Benhayon's commitment to love and the family of humanity is an inspiration to us all.

adam warburton

12/4/2015 06:02:48 pm

Serge Benhayon is a great friend to many, not because what he says is popular, but rather because what he says resonates as true for so many, and he is not afraid to tell someone the truth out of the simple fact that he honours them not for what they present to the world, but for who they truly are.

Michelle M Ryan

14/4/2015 02:44:48 pm

"It is like Serge treats every moment like it is the most important moment there is." I agree with this Ray and know this - it feels like a quality of preciousness.

Karin Barea

16/4/2015 06:39:09 am

Ray I can feel the love you have for Serge and his love of everyone he meets. So beautiful. I cannot write his name and not feel that love myself. He is self-loving but self-less. I rarely see this in the world.

The story of driving his car and people actually stopping to wave as if that is the most important thing in that moment shows, no matter where we are in our lives, we always have this love within us so we can always be self-less and meet each other as the equal brothers we are. Serge inspires people to be themselves.

I love that people love Serge in the way I love Serge. In the years I've known him I feel my love of people has grown. My love for myself has expanded too. Knowing him is such a blessing.

Michelle M Ryan

18/4/2015 04:01:51 pm

Of Serge Benhayon you have written "Everyone he spoke to was important " this is so true and sadly in this world, quite a rare quality, but inspirational to say the least. It is a quality of pure equalness and holding all as dear. This is the way forward out of this mess we have made of humanity.

Judy Young

18/4/2015 05:55:37 pm

Hi Ray, I agree Serge has not changed since the first day I met him other than to deepen the love he is however I wonder if part of the deepening I feel is also me being willing to feel more of the love that he reflects due to the unfolding which began the day we met.

Natalie Hawthorne

19/4/2015 05:31:24 am

What more do you want in a relationship - to be loved, treated with respect and as an equal, to be given total support and attention, but most of all unwavering in truth. This is the first person in my life that has all of these qualities abundantly so, I to know that I can be this with everyone I meet and know. Thank you Serge Benhayon for showing me that there is another way of connecting and being with everyone.

Amelia Stephens

20/4/2015 06:09:56 am

What stands out for me reading this testimonial today is the equalness. Having read this I can feel how I still hold inequality in ways in my relationships. How awesome is it that we have this reflection of someone who just has no issues in relationships? Without this, I truly wonder where my relationships and life would be at today. It is a fact I know too that "because of my friendship with Serge my life is more loving and more enjoyable" - and this cannot even be expressed fully in words as to the magnitude I feel it. Thank you Ray, and Serge.

Jenny Ellis

21/4/2015 02:29:09 pm

Ray this is a magnificent testimonial of what a true friendship is, and so much more than that. If we applied just one aspect of what you've shared about Serge Benhyon when it comes to meeting people... 'There is nothing else more important in that moment to him than you and it doesn’t matter who ‘you’ are, he will be the great friend he is to me with you' the world would be in a very different place. I can feel how touched you have been and how much more open you are with people as a result of your experience with him. Thank you for such an open and honest sharing of what is clearly a deeply touching relationship.

Ruth Ketnor

23/4/2015 04:48:08 pm

Thank you Ray for your heart felt, beautiful love filled testimony. When meeting Serge for first time the equality and love I experienced was absolute and has continued to be, unwavering. All he is and lives he shares with everyone. He is my best friend.

Joel Levin

25/4/2015 03:56:59 pm

There is something very powerful about how you describe the way people 'wave' back to Serge, even when he isn't in the car. You get back what you put out, and this level of presence is certainly testimony to the quality Serge lives ever moment.

Samantha Davidson

27/4/2015 06:13:44 am

I have never seen anyone else in my life connect with people the way that Serge Benhayon does, complete consistency "There is nothing else more important in that moment to him than you and it doesn’t matter who ‘you’ are, he will be the great friend he is to me with you." This is a true and life changing inspiration concerning how we connect with people in our daily lives.

Deanne

27/4/2015 06:47:43 am

What I love about your friendship with Serge is the way you have observed him inter-relate with people and the love and presence he meets them with and you have not put him on a pedestal. To your credit you have felt how important this is and made it your way too. This Ray speaks volumes to me - thank you.

adam warburton

29/4/2015 07:06:32 pm

Serge Benhayon - a intimate friend to many and a man who has been willing to not just open his house up, but open his heart up to the world, and that is a rare but noble thing indeed.

Simon Williams

1/5/2015 02:54:53 pm

"So no matter what is happening or who I am speaking with, I see the person first and not a problem or a deal or anything else. Life is about people." In a nutshell, this is what comes across is my experience, time and again. Serge is always himself, and he is always there for people - those around him, or the wider community. Always.

Shevon Simon

5/5/2015 04:58:53 am

I can relate to all that you say here Ray. I remember one of the very 1st times I met Serge I'd sneezed and he asked me if I wanted a tissue - as I was self defensive and bashful I said no BUT what I remember feeling and thinking at that time is "WOW how caring is he. He went out of his way to ask me that as he wasn't standing right next to me." In that moment I felt the enormity of Serge's Love and that may have only been the second time that I'd met him. That was five years ago - but what an impression of Love that has left me with. I know that moment and that feeling will stay with me forever.

Shami Duffy

6/5/2015 01:50:09 pm

Serge Benhayon represents to all of us a way of being with each other that we already innately know and have already lived at some point. So never does he have to teach us or present to us something new, we are inspired because we remember. This can cause sadness, unrest and deep hurts to be uncovered. But these are only temporary conditions brought on as a consequence of re-connecting to that way of being which is so natural and genuinely easy, and, these conditions do eventually pass leaving behind a kind of clarity and depth of love in relationships never before possible.

michelle M Ryan

6/5/2015 02:28:51 pm

"how he was on the first day I saw him is how he is today."
I agree Raymond. Always, always, honouring of himself and other people.

Gail Fuller

6/5/2015 07:59:23 pm

Serge presents a steady even approach daily to life, that has not been shaken in the 12 plus years I have known him. There is no favour to anyone separately, whether it is family or someone he has just met.
That is a rare quality indeed.

Joel Levin

6/5/2015 08:11:30 pm

When you see the way someone like Serge is with people with such equality it is a true inspiration. Not from a desire to be like him but from recognising that this same quality is innately within me. Thank you Ray, for pointing this out.

Simon Voysey

7/5/2015 11:08:39 am

What I love and see as so unique about Serge Benhayon is the depth of feeling and understanding he brings to each person he meets. It is like he totally knows who you are and speaks so deeply to you, that you always get from the interaction what is needed at the time. And then, as if that were not enough, it seems that it even when addressing a large crowd at an event, it still feels like Serge is addressing you personally and offering just what is needed at the time. I have actually heard many people relate this same thing. Now how can that be? Can there truly be something to this notion of living and expressing spherically?

Hannah Morden

8/5/2015 03:27:50 pm

This testimonial captures how Serge is with everyone and the amount of love that is there. He does make us feel like the most important person in the world in the simplest of conversations - which only makes me wonder why that isn't normal? Why we really try hard to avoid people, dismiss them, not have true conversations? That isn't loving, which is the one thing we are all craving.

Rosanna Bianchini

11/5/2015 05:48:49 am

I know exactly what you mean Ray, and to call it a friendship by today's definition and general example is understating the quality of relationship that Serge and his friends have together. The friendship you talk of I know to be a relationship of equality and love, one without conditions, and a consistency that feels endless

Michelle M Ryan

13/5/2015 03:26:02 pm

With how we are brought up and what society imposes on us big strong Australian men don't normally say-
"I love you, Serge Benhayon, and I know he loves me the same."
But I am glad you have, as this is stronger and more powerful than anyone trying to be that.

Jessica Williams

28/5/2015 05:58:03 am

Great point Michelle - Ray is writing about someone who is defying the norm, but he is also going against the trend by showing how he feels for a close friend by saying that he loves him, which is not commonly seen, especially among "big strong Australian men"

Victoria Carter

13/5/2015 07:31:38 pm

Ray, your post here opens my heart – and I rejoice in every word.. It's as if you have spoken for me – and undoubtedly countless others – also.
I agree in full, that no, Serge Benhayon hasn't changed in all the time I've known him (since 2001) in the quality of care, the deepest respect, and the unwavering love and truth (like I have never known in another) he brings to all, equally so. Your words here, say it all:
"Serge Benhayon is a truly loving, caring, beautiful man and friend and I am just the same. The wonderful thing about this is that Serge has wanted this all along, not for me to be like him but for me to see that all the things I love in him are actually in me."
Thank-you Ray Karam, you are also one treasure of a man, for all.

Kate Burns

8/8/2015 10:35:46 am

Beautifully said Victoria - "Ray, your post here opens my heart – and I rejoice in every word.. It's as if you have spoken for me – and undoubtedly countless others – also." You have summed up how I felt reading this.

Jonathan Stewart

16/5/2015 03:35:30 am

"It is like Serge treats every moment like it is the most important moment there is. So no matter who is in that moment with him, they are the most important person there is". I totally agree Raymond and as you say it is not a 'one off' but with everything and everyone with whom he is in communication. When one is the person in the moment it feels so special yet ordinary at the same time.

Hannah Morden

17/5/2015 02:54:20 pm

Thank you Ray, true friendship is felt in your writing.

Jonathan Stewart

21/5/2015 02:18:13 pm

'How he was on the first day I saw him, is how he is today.' This captures so simply yet at the same time a great truth about Serge and his quality. He is consistent in everything he does, I have never known anyone like him before - he is the true role model for humanity and will be remembered for years to come.

Michael Nicholson

22/5/2015 03:34:46 pm

It's rare to read such an honest and so deeply felt testimonial about someone - but then Serge is not just 'someone' and Ray you've captured all that he is and by reflection who you are in such a union of true and equal friendship. I'm deeply moved and I'm with you and Serge all the way.

Jessica Williams

28/5/2015 05:56:17 am

"He is leading the way in how to be with people" - I couldn't agree more Ray, Serge Benhayon is a living example of how to truly relate to people with equality and unconditional love in every encounter

judy young

29/5/2015 04:08:05 pm

Ray one of many important points you made - make life about people first, not an issue or a deal just about people - Serge lives the Love that he is and connects with every person he meets from that love and to that love which is in us all.

Simon Voysey

9/6/2015 06:45:19 pm

Yes Judy this is so simple and really what makes the whole of Serge's life so consistent and so powerfully inspiring. All the time we are conditioned to take sides, align with some and compete with others, argue points of view and so on. Serge shows that friendship extends beyond any barriers that human beings have thrown up around relationship and therefore lovingly pulls those barriers down.

Lorraine Harris

11/8/2015 03:24:13 am

So true Simon and Judy. As you said Simon, Serge shows that friendship extends beyond any barriers that human beings have thrown up around relationship and therefore lovingly pulls those barriers down. Lovingly simple, no taking sides or having to prove a point, Serge has shown by example what true friendship is, as Ray has so beautifully shared with us all.

Kevin McHardy

3/6/2015 01:04:33 pm

This is truly beautiful Ray, I love the way Serge has inspired you and so many of us through the way he lives and interacts with everyone equally, to truly know there is another more caring way to live.

Jenny McGee

16/6/2015 05:46:43 am

Also to be reminded that life is about people to let them in despite our fears of being hurt. I too have watched how others have been inspired by the way Serge Benhayon connects with everyone he meets equally and openly.

Hannah Morden

8/6/2015 03:03:16 pm

Ray - how you speak about Serge Benhayon is so beautiful. It is to truly express without holding back. Imagine if this were normal - for men to talk about other men this way, employees to talk about their bosses this way, the community to talk about governments this way. What an absolute change that would be. And it all start from how we talk about ourselves and those close to us. So thank you for the true inspiration.

Jenny McGee

14/6/2015 05:59:19 am

Yes Hannah to hear a friend speak so lovingly about himself and others with absolute equal-ness and not a drop of comparison is indeed inspiring.

sylvia brinkman

17/6/2015 05:45:32 am

Thank you Ray for this very beautiful sharing. I can feel all that you share.

Gill Randall

20/6/2015 05:42:41 pm

Ray, thank you for this testimony, you have written the truth of how Serge Benhayon is as a friend. Often people have an inner circle of friends and it's felt when you aren't in the inner group. Serge has more friends than anyone else I know and yet he is consistently there for us all equally as a true friend.

sandra williamson

23/6/2015 05:22:11 am

Ray what are sharing as your experience is the same for me. Serge is a man that has a quality to all he is and shares with everyone equally. A quality that many people relate to and is very needed and being called for by humanity.

Leigh Matson

28/6/2015 05:57:25 pm

I can equally attest to what you have shared here Ray. When I allow myself to feel the same ease with others just as Serge is there is a greater sense of confidence and strength within myself. The more I allow myself to make the center of my relationships who I am and who the other is that joy and love that can't help but shine from him is starting to come out in me. Rather than seeing him as special the more I apply what is presented I am seeing and feeling less of a difference and more that this way of being with people is very normal and natural for everyone.

Jonathan Stewart

11/7/2015 02:51:04 am

This beautifully expressed her Leigh how when we apply what is presented by Serge we, too,can shine like he does and it is normal.

Jenny McGee

30/6/2015 11:07:21 am

I have experienced exactly the same thing you describe Ray, how the man Serge Benhayon you first met is the same man you call your friend today. Is this not a shining example of truth and true love where there is such consistency in the quality that he holds himself that it does not waiver.

Michelle M Ryan

3/7/2015 04:42:50 pm

Yes I agree Jenny, there is absolute consistency in Serge Benhayon in the quality the quality that he holds himself, that I had never, ever come across in my life until now.

Sarah Baldwin

16/7/2015 04:31:00 pm

Raymond, you are the best friend to have, how honoured Serge must feel having such true and exquisitely expressed words of truth about him and yourself for the world to hear and feel.

Cathy Hackett

16/7/2015 07:07:28 pm

This is a fantastic blog, each line full of stand-alone gems that parallel the plethora of qualities that Serge brings. The trick is, there is no trick. He's consistent for sure, he's equal with everyone of that there is no doubt, but he is way,way more than the sum of the parts. He lives the truth of who he is and provides an amazing beacon for all of what is possible to be lived if we choose - and I feel privileged to know him.

Hannah Morden

19/7/2015 02:39:17 pm

Ray - your testimonial is honest, delicate and deeply appreciative of Serge Benhayon, and though this I can read how you too have become a sensitive loving man who is also full of strength and integrity. It is beautiful to see this in men - where they can offer so much wisdom and beauty instead of trying to live up to a typical male role. Thank you for sharing this beautiful testimonial, and for living in your power.

Simon Voysey

19/7/2015 04:00:27 pm

Ray I really got a lot out of the repeated focus in your blog of how Serge Benhayon's rock solid foundation and your building foundation is based on the consistency of simply making life about people. It was very powerful to read and to feel that foundation in your life from how you expressed.

Jonathan Stewart

22/7/2015 04:49:23 pm

"how he was on the first day I saw him is how he is today. Serge has never changed, in fact the qualities that ‘struck’ me on that first day have deepened further and he is more caring with the people I see him with than any person I know." I completely concur with this as it is my experience of Serge, too. Consistency I have come to value and appreciate as a quality and way of being in a way that I had never done before. It demonstrates a solidness of foundation that Serge demonstrates in everything he does.

"What I did was continue to watch Serge and apply the principles that he valued in his life to my life." This line speaks of the great example that Serge presents to us daily and he is the inspiration for us all to adapt into our own lives.

I love what you have shared here about moments Ray. I find I can get so caught up at being at the next thing as it is more 'important', that I miss out on experiencing my presence in every moment. Starting to value my presence more, and the quality it brings has made huge shifts in my wellbeing, as I'm no longer racing from one thing to the next (or significantly less times anyway!). This is allowing me more space, and more appreciation of my still quality, which then confirms and solidifies this way more. Serge and Natalie Benhayon, amongst many others are constant inspirations in the way they have developed their presence, and commitment to it.

Gail Fuller

28/7/2015 07:34:55 pm

Serge's whole life is about people in every regard. It is truly an inspiration to see and be with. He teaches so much to us all about equality between men and women alike. There is no judgement or favour shown to any one individual.

I have not before read such a open and loving testimony written by a man on his friendship with and the quality of another man. Reading this allows another to connect to the intimacy that is available to us all when in true relationship.

Sandra Vicary

This is a stunning article Ray, and written from your heart. Every word you have used to describe this amazingly ordinary man I can say yes, I know that about Serge too. He is the most steadfast, consistent, straightforward, honest, no frills, non judgemental, loving, gentle, tender, (I could go on) person I have ever had the fortune to meet, and he has opened my eyes, and those of many others to see that there can be another way to live and truly love each other. Thankyou Serge Benhayon, for sharing your deep wisdom and truth with us all equally.

Kate Burns

8/8/2015 10:33:26 am

What a very touching piece Ray. The lines that stood out for me today were:
"I love Serge Benhayon not for what he has done, but for how he is. I have never seen a person like him and never had a friend like him."
"It is a fact that because of my friendship with Serge my life is more loving and more enjoyable. The relationships I have with people around me at home and in my businesses are truly amazing. ... Serge has been a part of this, he supports me to grow and has never held himself above me. He is a truly remarkable friend."
Very touching and real description of an amazing man and friendship. Thank you Ray for sharing this the way you have, love the part where you're driving Serge's car and the quality of the waves - very gorgeous.

What a testiment Ray of how relationships have to potential to be. To be truly loved and embraced not from an emotional point of view but from the love that comes from the core of our being. Serge meets you in all that he is and deeply appreciates all that we are and in this knowing the relationship is based on equalness. Equalness of the Love that we are. Simple Beautiful and deeply empowering to have a relationship with this level of intergrity and truth.

Sarah Flenley

10/8/2015 03:40:12 am

Ray it appears that you are not alone with your testimonial of Serge as I read through the comments. And I will add my truth to the mix as well. One of things I love about Serge is that makes it about people and I love what you wrote "So no matter what is happening or who I am speaking with, I see the person first and not a problem or a deal or anything else. Life is about people.". Hear Hear.

Donna Gianniotis

11/8/2015 12:08:24 pm

Ray, your words are full of love and deeply inspiring to hear you express so openly and graciously about Serge Benhayon. The reflection of a true friendship that Serge has offered you has clearly paid off as those same qualities that you speak about of Serge can also be felt about you. This is the beautiful gift that Serge Benhayon offers everyone is what he reflects is for us to know that we too have this inside us if we choose to allow it out. Good on you Ray for being inspired and for making those choices. It is through such reflections that both Serge and you Ray offer that we evolve together.

Adele Leung link

16/8/2015 03:20:47 am

I love Serge Benhayon too Ray, as the love he has shown me has never been shown to me by anyone else before, but it is the love I know to be true. Serge Benhayon from day one has allowed me to see in our interactions the truth about myself. I have always been inspired, because knowing this truth and becoming it is a constant commitment to develop and deepen, therefore the love felt from this man, is a love that I am also unfolding, deepening, expressing forever more.

Adele Leung link

16/8/2015 03:24:54 am

From the first time I heard Serge Benhayon present, every word that he says resonastes the same truth within my body. This is true equality and a testimony that we are all equal, why would we hold back in living less than this equality? Thank you Ray for living and sharing such a beautiful, true and equal

Adele Leung link

16/8/2015 03:34:12 am

I truly enjoy observing Serge Benhayon in his bodily expressions, as I know when feeling the connection with people, it is natural to be expressing in such deep respect, openness, tenderness, closeness with everyone. I love the part of on waving you shared Ray, as I remember when my son was little, he would do the same with everyone he encountered with absolute equality and joy. I find myself doing the same with people in smiles. When I find myself not in this consistency of openness or presence with people, and it doesn't have to always be in smiles, I ask myself what is going on.

Vicky Cooke

17/8/2015 06:16:14 am

I love what you have written here about Serge Benhayon, 'Everyone he spoke to was important and it didn’t seem to matter if he had known you five minutes or five years, he would greet everyone with a great care.' It is so true I could not have said it better especially with the words 'great care' because that is how Serge treats everyone and it is really beautiful to observe, see and feel.

Willem Plandsoen

23/8/2015 02:07:09 pm

What a beautiful testimony to a true friendship, Ray. And indeed all the qualities that Serge lives are there fore everybody equally so. He is indeed a true friend, for me as well.

Vicky Cooke

10/9/2015 10:23:19 pm

Reading the first part of your article what came to me is that there are no 'hidden agendas' with Serge when he is with others (or at all!). Not only that when speaking with others he is 150% ... we'll probably 200% 😃 with that person I know this from experience and observation. In those moment I have felt held and met at a far deeper level than I have ever allowed myself to be even just with me. Serge is a beautiful reflection that there is far more to learn, feel and be than we allow ourselves and what is really inspiring is that he isn't not being all that he is because others aren't either, he just goes for it living a life of Love that he KNOWS to be true.

Shelley Jones

22/9/2015 11:27:46 pm

Thank you Ray for this heartfelt testimonial of your friend Serge Benhayon. It's great to feel through your words your absolute appreciation for the depth of your own love that you can now feel and live because of the depth of love that Serge Benhayon lives in each and every day with himself and all around him, such a gift.

Shami Duffy

26/9/2015 12:34:54 pm

I see from this testimonial, a great man who loves his family, is willing to explore the reality of being a man and the real responsibilities this holds for life today. This man is Ray Karam, equally as spectacular as Serge Benhayon just at a different place on his path but no different in the quality of care and dedication to life that he brings.

Samantha Westall

26/9/2015 01:15:36 pm

Your heart felt expression was deeply touching to read and within it you captured the gorgeousness of Serge Benhayon perfectly. He is indeed leading the way in how to be with people and through his guiding light showing us that we can be the same, lovingly holding people like he does with every word and gesture.

steve Matson

1/10/2015 09:04:03 pm

Serge is has never been any thing other than truth and love, all the time with himself and all others. If you don’t want to know the truth then Serge is not the person to ask the question to because he lives in truth.

Ariana Ray

1/10/2015 11:32:57 pm

Serge Benhayon the presenter, the practitioner and the friend. He is the one friend I know who will be there, solid as a rock, no variance, no judgement, the friend I have always dreamed of having with the honesty and consistency that never leaves me feeling less, only more me than ever before.

Judy Young

4/10/2015 01:21:28 am

When we live a certain way we are an example for others and this can be a true way or not, one of the points Ray makes in the testimonial is a marker for how to be with everyone which observing Serge gives us.'It stood out how close, personal and intimate he was with everyone I saw him speak to.' There is no 'special person' or special group' we are all the same and Serge Benhayon clearly shows us how to live this equality.

Karin Barea

5/10/2015 12:18:02 pm

Ray this is so beautiful to read. Thank you for sharing what a beautiful friendship you have with Serge Benhayon that is no different from any friendship everyone on earth could develop with each other. I loved reading, 'The support he has offered me is just for me to be myself.' This is profoundly beautiful. In just reading it I feel the truth and love within and connect to how amazing I am and we all are.

Carmel Reid link

14/10/2015 09:31:39 am

Serge Benhayon does indeed truly meet everyone - it is us who hide ourselves from him, but he can see past our hurts to the true being within and speaks to us as that - his equal - until we eventually get it - and then the relationship with ourselves deepens as we accept who we truly are.

Suzanne Cox

19/10/2015 11:03:24 am

Wow, what an amazing experience you share particularly of what it was like to drive Serge's car. It's like you really got to see the possibility of how people so openly receive the love we have for everyone and there are in fact no barriers between us. Serge is redefining what friendship is, not something you offer a discrete few but that it is possible to be this way with everyone.

Shami

22/10/2015 09:42:05 pm

There are many people in the world who claim to be the ones who have all the answers to our salvation away from misery, perhaps unbeknownst to them, they are often actually encouraging us looking outside of ourselves for the answers. Serge Benhayon is the only person I have ever met who has always presented that I am my own saviour, which is an enormous showing of faith in me, the person I am, and the strength that I hold to be the one. And with this spark coming back to life again, I can see how this is the same for everyone, we are all the ones - just like Serge Benhayon presents.

Carmel Reid link

5/12/2015 01:23:51 am

I agree, Shami, we have been brought up to depend on outside sources for a good opinion of ourselves, and for wisdom, and Serge Benhayon is always inspiring us to connect within and feel for ourselves what is happening in the world and to appreciate who we are.

Ingrid Ward

25/10/2015 07:05:57 pm

Coming back to this wonderful testimonial today these words really jumped out at me, and I smiled; “He was my best friend from the first time I met him, but it was just me who had to catch up with the friendship”. And it certainly sounds like you have definitely caught up Ray as the feeling of equalness is tangible, and the love that pours forth from what you have shared feels endless and echoed by many, many more.

Jonathan Stewart

1/11/2015 10:44:44 am

Yes, on this reading this sentence stood out for me to and your comment, Ingrid, reflects my feels really well. Also what stood out me for is that Serge offers true friendship to everyone on first meeting.

Kathryn Fortuna

28/10/2015 09:10:40 am

Ray the love and deep respect that I feel when I read this is incredible. Your friendship is a living example of how all friendships could be if we held each other with the same level of care and understanding that you and Serge do. I am completely inspired.

Ariana Ray

28/10/2015 09:11:23 pm

What is a true friend? For many, friends are often used to support us to be something we are not, as long as we don't rock the friendship boat. Like two smoking friends, when one gives up, they push away the other, because they make us feel uncomfortable, they are no longer supporting us to be the same, they don't stay and present how there is another way to live. Friends are someone who will support you, fair weather or foul, someone who will present love and truth, consistently so. Serge Benhayon is one such friend.

Jonathan Stewart

1/11/2015 10:38:52 am

"For me he [Serge Benhayon] is a living legend". He is that not just for you Raymond but for all get to know him directly or indirectly. It captures so well the immense presence and importance that he has for humanity.

Shami

22/11/2015 11:59:05 am

What Serge Benhayon talks about, what he really brings to the table, is way beyond what is currently being presented by many of the world leaders, teachers, doctors, etc. Because Serge talks about responsibility in a way that brings what is really going on in the world in to focus and personally, this makes me want to stand up and be accountable.

Amelia Stephens

8/12/2015 11:03:58 am

Reading this today I can feel how I have under-appreciated the way Serge is with each and every person that he meets, as it is truly remarkable in this day and age. Here we have someone who is closed off to noone, and yet has complete regard and care for himself in the process. This is something we certainly all can learn from, and I certainly intend to continue doing so.

Carmel Reid link

8/12/2015 09:03:22 pm

What is amazing about Serge Benhayon is that his whole life is dedicated to supporting humanity but it comes from a place of deep self care - he cares for everyone equally but does not do anything without first making sure his own way of living is totally supporting everything he does.

Simon Voysey

9/12/2015 02:10:28 am

It is true Ray, feeling my essence and seeing more and more that everyone I meet shares that same essence, makes it easy to open up to people and offer them all that I am. What you get back from people is simply more confirmation of that knowing - that we share the same essence. This, like you I learned from serge Benhayon, yes in words, but mostly because of the way he lives.

Amelia Stephens

10/12/2015 01:24:53 pm

Thank you Ray. Serge Benhayon has taught us what true intimacy can be, and that is letting everyone in equally. This level of equality is constantly deepened and is there for us all to observe and reflect upon. The level of love we can have for ourselves, and for each other is constantly there for us to go deeper with. How amazing is that?! We are so supported, in so many ways.

lorraine Wellman

13/12/2015 01:14:56 am

A beautiful testimony to this amazing man Serge Benhayon who is as you say Ray, 'a living legend'.

A legend in his own time at that.

Alexandre Meder

I am extremely grateful to have met Serge Benhayon, he is a very caring man, generous and has an amazing consistency.

Amelia Stephens

22/12/2015 10:52:48 am

As you have seen over several years Raymond, Serge Benhayon is a man who continually shows us that true integrity and trust is able to be honoured in this world. And this is not an exalted or elevated state, but simply there because he consistently makes choices that reflect this commitment to absolute honouring of himself and all others around him. And this is the reflection he has, that we can all make these choices and thus make this level of integrity a living way for all of humanity.

Leigh Matson

8/1/2016 10:16:18 pm

It's beautiful what you share here Raymond, a friendship between two men without comparison is huge and a rarity in this world today. There is no sizing up between you but an equalness that I too have experienced when talking to Serge Benhayon. There is no room for those games to be played, try as we might but it only crumbles and doesn't hold itself against the solid and steady commitment that is the love that Serge brings to everyone he meets.

Shami

28/1/2016 09:13:50 pm

There is something here in the words that Ray writes. Something subtle and profound. It is about when we accept the love that is there inside of us, this love cannot stop itself from being there with everyone. We can stop it if we choose, but the love is there and we all want so much for this love to be the way it is between us.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

5/2/2016 10:00:11 am

Ray appreciation for Serge Benhayon pours off the page. I love what you have written because I have also noticed them and your words speak for me also. There is so much amazing things to say about him, and yet one of your last paragraphs expresses the love, humility and equalness he forever conveys "The wonderful thing about this is that Serge has wanted this all along, not for me to be like him but for me to see that all the things I love in him are actually in me." So very true and so very gorgeous.

jeanette macdonald

11/3/2016 02:03:57 pm

"The wonderful thing about this is that Serge has wanted this all along, not for me to be like him but for me to see that all the things I love in him are actually in me." This is an incredible sentence and says it all about Serge Benhayon, a wonderful man who supports all to know that they equally hold that wonderfulness within them. That to me is the essence and simplicity of love embodied and shared.

jeanette macdonald

11/3/2016 01:57:20 pm

2. “I thought I was a good father but now from living from these principles I can see that I am a great father”. I find this a poignant thing to read, it warms and melts my heart. May many more men come to know what it feels like to claim this and live it as you are and as Serge does. Like Serge you do not hide it or keep it to yourself but offer many the opportunity to see and feel what being a great Dad looks like.

Fiona Pierce

5/5/2016 01:25:34 am

Serge Benhayon has inspired me hugely as well, seeing the way that he relates with anyone and everyone. The consistency of his openness and love really stands out and at the same time is so very normal that it makes you see what is possible and how we all can be...

Helen Giles

5/5/2016 11:57:44 am

I don't know of anyone else who could remain so constant in their ways as Serge Benhayon. There is a solidness and an openness available to all regardless of the time of the day or the environment. This is a real eye opener and inspiration to us all and many would agree that what you have written Ray mirrors their own experiences in some shape or form. Thanks Ray for sharing your own story. It's obvious that you do feel a deep connection of love and friendship with this man and that he has had an enormous impact in your life.

Otto Bathurst

9/5/2016 05:39:22 am

Ray - your testimonial is so spectacular. I feel your openness and friendship and tenderness and equality and..gosh...I could go on and on. The way you express about your dear friend Serge, just the energy of that expression (forget the actual words) is so unique between any two humans let alone between two men. Even if I had never ever met Serge Benhayon, I would know him to be the real deal purely through the way you write and so openly express. Something spectacular is going on for you, for you to be the way that you are. And seeing and feeling that tells me everything that I need to know. If I didn't already know Serge Benhayon, I would be jumping on any plane, boat or train to meet him. You are both, clearly, two absolute divine men.

Emily Newman

12/5/2016 12:48:45 pm

Wow, this is awesome Raymond. truly something to appreciate. and i love how you can undeniably say that you love Serge and for it not to be seen as unmanly or weird (the reason some men shy away from this), for it is the most natural and 'manly' thing ever. I also loved this bit - "He was my best friend from the first time I met him, but it was just me who had to catch up with the friendship" for isn't this what we are doing with everyone ? there are so many gorgeous relationships and reflections available to us when we stop holding people at arms length and be open to the possibilities of love.

Danna Elmalah

14/5/2016 12:25:21 pm

Amazing Ray, so true - last sentence nearly bought me to tears: The wonderful thing about this is that Serge has wanted this all along, not for me to be like him but for me to see that all the things I love in him are actually in me'' This is what he brings, and this is what we all got. Thank you Serge Benhayon. You have brought to me the path of evolution - one I now know , to walk myself.

Fumiyo Egashira

14/5/2016 10:15:46 pm

Thank you very much, Ray, for sharing your appreciation of your friendship with Serge Benhayon. When we see someone we consider to be inspiring, we want to know ‘how’ they ‘do’ it, but as you say so clearly, with Serge Behnayon, there’s no trick, it’s just the way he is. And the more I appreciate the Ageless Wisdom, the more I understand ourselves as a unit of expression; and the more I understand myself as a unit of expression, the more it makes sense there be no individualization – everything becomes about the Whole, and in Serge, I see what is possible when we truly surrender to this fact.

Jade Jamieson

15/5/2016 12:26:06 pm

What I loved about what you wrote Ray is the fact that the true quality of our relationships with others lays in the foundation that we are all equal - no less, no more. This is the livingness that Serge Benhayon brings and offers everyone he meets, the fact that we, like he have much to offer and bring humanity simply by living who we are in full.

Jonathan Stewart

18/5/2016 12:46:46 pm

Serge Benhayon " is leading the way in how to be with people". How he is "is how he was on the first day I saw him is how he is today", which is that "Everyone he spoke to was important and it didn’t seem to matter if he had known you five minutes or five years, he would greet everyone with a great care".

Rik Connors

22/5/2016 01:35:48 pm

Wow Raymond that is a testimony to what friendship is, what a read! It is extra-ordinary just how much you have made life about people, through the inspiration of Serge Benhayon, and how this has changed all that you are and how you live. There was so much from what you wrote that all I feel is to appreciate just how much you appreciate your relationship with Serge, and now with yourself. Well done! You are a living inspiration to me and I can just imagine how many people you bless now in your interactions. I am sure there are people who are admiring you in the same way that you admire Serge watching your every move and interaction with people and your family. Keep on keeping on - thank you Raymond.

Susan Green

27/5/2016 12:33:44 pm

Ray, your testimonial speaks of a true friendship which is rare to see but an incredibly precious treasure to have..

Alison Moir

30/5/2016 01:57:21 am

Serge really is a peoples' person everything he does and says is for humanity and for the whole, he holds absolutely nothing back and this shines through from the love that people feel for him. When Serge meets you it is with his whole body, like you say Ray there is nothing more important to him at that moment, he meets you as an equal knowing we are all the same in essence. This has a profound affect on peoples lives it has certainly changed mine, I no longer run in the opposite direction to humanity as I did prior to meeting Serge.

Naren Duffy

30/5/2016 03:37:49 am

I love what you have brought through here, Ray. It is an awesome example of the equality that Sege Benhayon brings. Not the false humbleness of 'look at me, I am the same as "the common folk"' but that of, 'you and I are equally great, and I know that I am great, so therefore you are too'.

Nicole Sjardin

3/6/2016 04:16:33 pm

When we see someone who is able to achieve something we would like to be able to do, it is human nature to want to copy it and at times we can be jealous of them as well. Ray talks about wanting to know Seges tricks, what I have come to learn after observing Serge for 10 years is that there are no tricks just a deep commitment to serving humanity and living in connection. Everything he learns and discovers he shares openly and unreservedly with anyone who is ready and open.

Kathryn Fortuna

4/6/2016 01:19:16 pm

Serge Benhayon is definitely '.....leading the way in how to be with people' and everyday I am inspired by his love and dedication to life and humanity.

Ariana Ray

5/6/2016 09:33:32 pm

'The support he has offered me is just for me to be myself.' How simple is that yet how profoundly life altering. Most of us run around being the opposite to ourselves and think this is us, and here is a man who will support us to be all of who we are, letting go of all that is NOT us at all.

Jonathan Stewart

6/6/2016 09:06:10 pm

"Everyone he spoke to was important and it didn’t seem to matter if he had known you five minutes or five years, he would greet everyone with a great care." This hallmark of Serge Benhayon is not only beautiful to witness it is a blessing to be a receiver of that attention as one feels totally 'met', which most likely the first time one has ever experienced this. This is because one is met for just being oneself totally and utterly without judgment. This is glorious to experience and is an inspiration to endeavour to emulate this quality in oneself

Jonathan Stewart

7/6/2016 09:51:50 pm

Serge Benhayon does so, so much but he does this not for himself but for others, "The wonderful thing about this is that Serge has wanted this all along, not for me to be like him but for me to see that all the things I love in him are actually in me." This is the most gorgeous win-win situation for everyone.

Rebecca Briant

9/6/2016 10:39:41 pm

Serge;s consistency is a huge game changer and a massive trust builder - he never wavers, and although he is never perfect he holds his responsibility as paramount and his love for people never fails.

Simon Williams

10/6/2016 10:58:22 pm

'Everyone he spoke to was important'. That is equality... and it can be felt by all of us that know him. There is no exception, no judgement of how you have been, no favourites. Everyone become family, and the potential is there in any interaction.

Alison Moir

14/6/2016 02:01:47 am

Serge Benhayon brings a quality to everyone he meets that I feel is not witnessed anywhere else in the world. His love for humanity is absolute yet he lives a simple life amongst us all. He truly is a man of the people, If you met him in the street he would be no different to anyone else, yet what he brings to us all by reflection is humongous and life changing. As you say Ray "Everyone he spoke to was important and it didn’t seem to matter if he had known you five minutes or five years, he would greet everyone with a great care".

Simon Voysey link

16/6/2016 03:01:33 pm

This is a very clear and powerful reminder of what equality is about Ray and how the love we hold is the same love all hold. When you state "I love Serge Benhayon not for what he has done, but for how he is." I get that the how is all important as it is what we do with the love that we are that matters.

ARIANA RAY

24/6/2016 10:06:01 pm

'The support he has offered me is just for me to be myself.' This is very true for all of us, Serge Benhayon supports us to let go of what is not us to reveal what is. I held on to so many things that are not me at all for most of my life, all the self loathing, hurts, self doubt, self criticism, oh boy, there has been much to let go of and much more of me to unfold as I go. The greatest work ever is unfolding who we really are.

Caroline Francis

6/7/2016 09:55:04 pm

Thank you Ray for writing such an open, natural and gorgeous testimonial of your friendship with Serge Benhayon. Serge Benhayon is indeed leading the way in his love for people inspiring me enormously to make the necessary changes so that I too can make life about people first.

Caroline Francis

6/7/2016 10:04:25 pm

Observing Serge Behayon over the past ten years has been incredibly inspiring. I have watched him grow and although he is by far not perfect I have not come across a man (or woman) with such integrity and love for humanity.

margaret shadforth

7/7/2016 02:12:38 pm

Ray your deep love and appreciation for the equality and respect you feel in your relationship with Serge Benhayon has supported you to recognise that all the qualities you love in him are actually within you and are the foundation of this relationship. Connecting with yourself has supported you to reflect the love that you truly are with not only with your biological family but humanity is a true reflection of friendship.

Katie Walls

13/7/2016 11:37:50 pm

I agree Raymond, in all the time I have known Serge Benhayon he has never changed in the quality that he offers nor the qualities that he lives. He is equally consisted every time I see and this is a reflection of how balanced Serge actually is.

Ariana Ray

19/7/2016 10:00:20 pm

You write 'how he was on the first day I saw him is how he is today' - that level of consistency and commitment, the dedication to purpose - that is what hasn't changed, what has changed is that Serge has become even more expansive in how he expresses all of who he is. That is a pure delight to notice. His depth of delivery of the truth is off the charts, and this is so very inspiring.

Ray what a beautiful testimonial, not just to Serge Benhayon, but to you. How wonderful for a man to have a true friend like you and be able to walk arm in arm with a brother who knows he is an equal brother and is not distancing himself by putting Serge on a pedestal.

Kerstin Salzer

25/7/2016 06:13:30 am

This is a true friendship, to reflect to the other one the love, care, dedication one has detected and built in oneself. Serge Benhayon has those qualities and is friend to everybody who is open to enter this friendship.

Ariana Ray

30/7/2016 11:04:40 pm

Ray, you write - 'What I did was continue to watch Serge and apply the principles that he valued in his life to my life. He shared these principles with everyone, at every course and in every interaction. He didn’t keep them hidden or for the chosen few.' And indeed there are never any chosen few, everything is for everyone.

Rebecca Briant

14/8/2016 02:43:26 am

I agree Ray - Serge has a quality in the way he is with people that is amazing to observe - his understanding and patience has been unrivalled in my experience.

Rebecca Briant

14/8/2016 02:44:59 am

Serge is an amazing man, friend, father, presenter, practitioner, writer - the list really does keep going because he is so involved in life, participating in full, and yet also doing it in a revolutionary way, with complete love

Heather Pope

1/1/2017 10:01:56 am

Serge Benhayon's way of living is inspirational beyond words, he accomplishes so much, but that is not what is the inspiring part, it is the love that is present in every single moment with him, every interaction, every client, every project. He is simply extraordinary.

Luke Yokota

15/8/2016 04:08:34 am

Such an outstanding contribution Ray. Highlighting not only the many supportive things Serge has in his life but equally how you now contribute the same to your local community.

Ariana Ray

15/8/2016 11:23:33 am

Everything is as important as everything else and everyone is as important as everyone else. That is the key here, for no one is special, we are all special and treasured. That is just how Serge treats everyone. You can really feel the deep and loving quality he is in when he meets you.

Julie Chung

18/8/2016 01:26:20 pm

Ray, you have captured Serge so beautifully and fully, and I can feel how you have deeply embodied what you have seen and felt in Serge and are most definitely making it your divine lived way. Thank-you deeply for your sharing.

Golnaz Shariatzadeh

25/8/2016 09:12:18 am

Ray I was moved by your simple share of your experience of the quality with which people waved while you were driving Serge’s car. This is such a great reflection of the profound impact we have even with the simplest of activities and that it is worth putting as much dedication in every single moment and every single action as Serge Benhayon does.

Sandra Vicary

30/8/2016 11:52:56 pm

Ray, I think many people have asked this question to themselves about Serge Benhayon, "I remember asking myself, 'how can a man be like this, what’s the trick?' Over the next year I watched him further and kept being astounded by how the same quality continued with how he was with people." And I can testify for this as it has also been my experience. I have known Serge for 10 years now, and to this day he has always had this same quality with every single person. It is inspiring beyond words to be in the presence of this man.

Matts Josefsson

6/11/2016 11:20:59 pm

Ray this line really found it's way home for me "He was my best friend from the first time I met him, but it was just me who had to catch up with the friendship" So beautiful and for me it captures what Serge is here to offer us - the knowing that deep within we are all the same.

Matts Josefsson

6/11/2016 11:37:02 pm

Another thing I felt to say is that having this quality of friendship between men is very special, and is not always the norm, but well worth striving for.

Ariana Ray

14/11/2016 08:33:48 pm

'Everyone he spoke to was important and it didn’t seem to matter if he had known you five minutes or five years, he would greet everyone with a great care.' This experience of yours Ray, is not how people meet and greet each other in the world - unless they want something from you. I can feel how Serge Benhayon wants nothing, but holds all in the greatest respect known on this planet. For a woman it is extraordinary to feel this from a man, and for me, it supported a change in how I see myself, for the respect offered to me was accepted and I was able to respect myself far more as a result.

Monica Gillooly

16/11/2016 11:05:31 pm

Ray, your writing today moved me deeply and brought me to tears as I felt how you've grown and embraced yourself and what is in you, what is in us all and brought that out into the world. As you put it 'It is as though through my friendship with Serge I have been able to speak a voice that was deep inside of me but that was afraid to come out.' - what I gift to have that inspiration from Serge, and that gift is available to all he meets. And through that the ripples go far and wide as you and many others including me take this out into our own lives and bring that quality to all we meet. This is how we can all live and be together - Serge has set off a revolution of love.

Heather Pope

1/1/2017 09:56:38 am

Serge Benhayon has presented to the world what love really is, so for anyone who wants to know and live with love, the door is now open.

Henrietta Chang

28/11/2016 10:28:41 am

Thank you Ray for this blessing of a testimonial! What I love about it is how your friendship with Serge has never been one where you put him on a pedestal, in fact it is quite the opposite where you have always seen him as an equal brother and been simply inspired by the way he lives to bring these qualities back alive into your life again. You speak about a voice within you that was buried:"It is as though through my friendship with Serge I have been able to speak a voice that was deep inside of me but that was afraid to come out. It was a voice that was buried under many other things." - this is our true voice that we all carry within, and to 'unleash' this is indeed powerful. I have been witness to your transformation of dropping your guard and letting people in and letting that voice from the depths of your heart out, and it has been an incredibly beautiful experience to be a part of, and be equally inspired by. What a blessing to have you and to have Serge in my life - 2 men who are incredibly humble yet so grand in the qualities they bring, and so holding of everyone as their equals, with a knowing that we all are indeed same same, no different.

Ariana Ray

4/12/2016 08:18:42 pm

'Everyone he spoke to was important and it didn’t seem to matter if he had known you five minutes or five years, he would greet everyone with a great care.' It is that care that he offers to everyone at all times without exception. I recall many songs about friends and how they are always there for you constant through thick and thin, but never found the songs to be true as everyone has lives of their own and priorities of their own. Yet here is a man who is always there, who meets you so fully and completely that you feel you have just been met by the whole Universe of love.

Ariana Ray

7/12/2016 10:56:49 pm

I can so understand how you felt that 'the qualities that ‘struck’ me on that first day have deepened further.' For Serge Benhayon has deepened his love further, so he takes that deepening to everyone he meets today. He never stands still, but makes life about an ever deepening love.

Otto Bathurst

10/12/2016 11:37:49 pm

I like the bit where you say that Serge is the same today as the very first day you met him. That is true transparency. I've never met a man like him and he is the greatest inspiration to me.

Fiona Pierce

22/12/2016 10:19:35 pm

"Everyone he spoke to was important and it didn’t seem to matter if he had known you five minutes or five years, he would greet everyone with a great care." - This is exactly how I have seen Serge consistently be over the 10+years that I've known him. And as you say Ray he doesn't hide any aspect of his life, he shares and presents how he is so that we can all be reminded of what we are capably of too, very naturally so.

Heather Pope

1/1/2017 09:59:32 am

There are literally hundreds of people who would say exactly the same thing. That is testimony to an extraordinary human being.

Heather Pope

1/1/2017 09:55:24 am

After more than a decade observing Serge I can say his consistency has never once faltered. Even though the most disgusting attacks by the media, he has remained himself. No one else I know of could say that.

Viktroia

23/6/2019 09:48:31 pm

I don't think many can comprehend the level of hurt these attacks can have on a person. Being called names, receiving constant threats about yourself & the family, knowing that a whole country is speaking about you in the most vile manner, yet his love is ever so deep, ever so embracing and never for a moment protected.

ARIANA RAY

8/1/2017 11:04:52 am

'He just seemed to have a way of speaking to people that I had never seen before. It was a quality that was so obviously not the ‘norm’.' And he still does, this has not changed but it has deepened more than ever before. Why? Because Serge Benhayon has deepened his love and livingness within himself. He has over the year become even more of who he truly is and an inspiration to all. That love he holds all in has also deepened and what a joy to have that with open arms.

Ariana Ray

9/1/2017 11:50:56 am

What I have seen in Serge Benhayon for the past decade and more is a consistency that just gets deeper and deeper. The change is that we now have a deeper, grander and more glorious expression of Serge than ever before - with absolute consistency.

Ariana Ray

16/1/2017 11:25:38 pm

I can see why people may think of Serge Benhayon ''How can a man be like this, what’s the trick?' I can see where the questioning would come from - for what we see in Serge Benhayon is so remarkable, he presents such a steadiness and in the face of everything that has been thrown at him, he does not vary his response, for his response is always love. So you'd want to look behind the scenes and see what makes a man like this tick, and what do you find when you do look behind the scenes is a man who lives love. It is remarkable and yet not, for he makes it look so normal. There's no wow, just love and more love, inspiring us all to be more love too.

Jonathan Stewart

11/2/2017 09:30:38 pm

"He [Serge Benhayon] was my best friend from the first time I met him, but it was just me who had to catch up with the friendship." It was not for some years after first meeting Serge did I come to realise, and am still learning to appreciate, that from that first meeting he has loved and respected me more than I did myself.

Jonathan Stewart

16/2/2017 08:58:28 pm

By observing Serge Benhayon one learns and gains so much.

Anna

21/8/2018 01:06:37 pm

I agree Jonathan, the reflection Serge Benhayon offers us is so powerful and deeply healing, watching him move and live in the world with such commitment to truth and love is beautiful to feel.

Michael Brown

27/2/2017 08:48:46 am

Serge truly is the best friend one could possibly ask for.

Stephanie Stevenson

18/3/2017 12:26:56 am

This is so true Ray, there is a beautiful flow and rhythm in everything Serge Benhayon does. I recently saw him effortlessl lifting a large cases off from a luggage carousel at Vietnam airport and the the tender and harmonious way in which he actioned this, stopped me in my tracks to enjoy this in full.
"The way he (Serge) even does the simplest thing like waving is done with such loving dedication that the way people wave back is the same. It is like Serge treats every moment like it is the most important moment there is".

Christine Hogan link

9/5/2017 02:46:42 am

Serge Benhayon can see the truth of who we are and loves us - it is us that take a while to see what Serge already knows and thus a while to come into our fullness. Serge is a friend, a mentor, a teacher and a brother who greets each of us in equality.

Nico van Haastrecht

8/8/2017 06:35:34 pm

Indeed Christine, Serge benhayon can read us from top to bottom and knows who we are and why we live the lives we do. No judgement only full understanding and always in the equalness that we are all one and the same, inspiring us to live that fullness we naturally are once again.

leigh matson

25/5/2017 11:02:10 am

I recently have felt what you've shared Ray about this type of friendship with Serge Benhayon. More and more I meet him now as an equal and it feels amazing. And the more I connect to myself rather than my words,actions or achievements etc. I see this beauty in others as well and it makes even getting on the bus and greeting the driver a rich experience. Every moment can be special when making them about who we are, not what we do. And I feel I am only on the very start of how deep this can go.

Liane Mandalis

1/6/2017 12:43:32 pm

It is our ability to steadily live what is true in all aspects of life and not succumb to the temptation or need to change ourselves in any way when meeting another that allows us to reflect the truth of who we are. Without this we appear random and inconsistent and in a world where many of us have lost trust in each other, this gives us an excuse to not reconnect with each other from the depth of who we are, but rather keep one another at arm’s length lest we get hurt. This is how we have come to live so divided and protected, veiling ourselves in a thick veneer of aloofness, falseness or niceness that has no true integrity. Serge Benhayon shows us, by virtue of his lived way, that there is great virtue in the steady flicker of a flame - a great reminder that this warmth lives in us all.

David

3/6/2017 05:02:05 am

Ray it is a beautiful expression of the love that you feel and share with Serge, he is a true friend to so many and whilst at first he is a friend like no other, he reflects and inspires everyone to what a true friend actually is.

David

24/6/2017 09:47:44 pm

"It stood out how close, personal and intimate he was with everyone I saw him speak to." Ray a beautiful summation of how Serge is with everyone that he meets, from my first meeting with Serge, to every discussion and to every observation the love he holds everyone in is beautiful.

Lieke Campbell

21/7/2017 12:16:05 pm

What you sharing here Ray is a true friendship which is about pulling each other up naturally by reflection. This really stands out from most relationships where people compete to be better than the other or keep each other at arms length whilst talking about things they have equal interest in.

Alex Braun

7/8/2017 09:16:02 pm

One could confuse consistency with stagnation, stiffness, unwillingness to change or simply being boring but that´s not what one experiences with Serge. He is consistent in quality, presence, love, care, truth... and thereby constantly deepening these qualities, raising the vibration, expanding and thus inspiring the possibility to choose the same for oneself. This not change in the sense of new, not stimulating any distraction or excitement, it is much more a way of constant evolution.

Nico van Haastrecht

8/8/2017 06:31:20 pm

Hi Ray, you have beautifully summarized that what Serge benhayon brings with whole his being, when he speaks, when he walks, how he moves, drive his car, waves in the streets and it is always about people. I his way of living he shows people that other reflection we all know so well and also have a spark of deep within us. Meeting Serge reignites this spark to bigger strengths, fires it up to the fire of love that then becomes our light we use to live our life in its full glory, the glory of love we deserve to live.

Joshua Campbell

17/8/2017 07:08:28 am

No amount of flowers of gifts can ever equate to offering someone the solid and consistent support of true love. They get to feel the consistency of their true selves reflected back and know you are there as a constant reminder of truth.

Monica Gillooly

18/8/2017 01:46:10 pm

Deeply beautiful Ray, I love what you have shared here, and can feel the gorgeous relationship you and Serge share, and how you're both sharing that with all of us. I love how you initially wanted to learn what the 'trick' was and eventually came to understand there is none, just a genuineness that makes it about all others and how you've allowed that to come from you to, to let others see you and you them. This is how we can be if we make life about people first, very inspiring, thank you.

Lucy Duffy

2/9/2017 12:20:38 am

I had a bit of a chuckle to myself when you mention Serge being your best friend from the moment you met him but you just had to catch up in the friendship. Same for me. The key for me to be able to let in his love was to start loving myself - there more I love myself, the more I feel the equality between us all and know I am worthy of it.

Melinda Knights

2/9/2017 01:06:24 pm

Thank you Ray for sharing so beautifully and fully from your heart your love of Serge and your friendship with him. He definitely makes it about people first and sees the essence of who they are, not the issue or problem, how wonderful it would be to also see ourselves the same way. This is also a great line “ for me to see that all the things I love in him are actually in me.” Serge is definitely not someone you can idolise because of how he lives the truth of equality. Serge is an amazing reflection of all that we all are and can live, not just for ourselves but together.

Rachel Murtagh link

10/9/2017 01:44:44 am

'If you have the blessing to spend any time with Serge, you will see his dedication to people is unsurpassed.' I have also had the blessing of knowing Serge Benhayon and I agree with you Ray, his love, dedication, time and approach to everyone sets a new bar and a new level on what it means to honour, respect and take care of others. No one else I know save members of his immediate family has the same dedication and commitment to supporting others.

leigh matson

14/9/2017 07:54:42 am

Everything I see, feel and love about Serge Benhayon is equally within me too. He shares how he lives to achieve such love openly. Nothing is really hidden only I have chosen to ignore such a fact. It's good to be reminded of this fact that I am love and deserve nothing less. Thank you Ray.

Ariana Ray

27/9/2017 10:39:51 pm

'The qualities that ‘struck’ me on that first day have deepened further and he is more caring with the people I see him with than any person I know.' They have deepened, Serge Benhayon is more love today than I ever thought possible - to have that much love in one body - that is extraordinary, yet he makes it as normal as walking the dog.

Sandra Williamson

30/9/2017 12:35:37 pm

Serge absolutely offers continuous loving support to us all equally so we may re-connect to the all that we already are. I know for me this has been an amazing re-imprinting and letting go of ways of being that didn’t reflect the love and gloriousness we innately are.

Ariana Ray

1/10/2017 10:23:24 pm

It is the constancy of love that is presented over and over from Serge. This never varies, it's simply presented again and again, because this is what he lives.

David

10/10/2017 09:44:26 am

I love how your experience of Serge in "how he was on the first day I saw him is how he is today" is not only the same as mine but also the same as every time I've met him, spoken to him. It's a level of consistency that delivers a huge amount of inspiration and deep trust.

Nattalija link

17/10/2017 05:38:34 am

Serge Behayon brings the absolute joy of living in each moment and that the simple actions of a wave is just as loving and supportive for everyone.This one hundred fold, is what is offered by this man each day for humanity.

Katerina Nikolaidis

17/10/2017 10:45:46 am

This is a gorgeous testimonial Ray. There are no airs and graces with serge, it is the astounding simplicity and humility that he is with everyone that is profound. His love for humanity is unsurpassed - and at the same time what is the most natural thing for us all.

Carmel Reid

4/11/2017 09:26:37 pm

Serge is able to see and feel the essence of every person he meets and that is the part of us that he speaks to He can read in detail all the ways we are not living as our true selves and, if we ask, willingly supports us with whatever healing we need at the time.

Liane Mandalis

10/11/2017 02:05:22 am

To look into the eyes and heart of another and see our own true beauty reflected back in equal measure, is the true gift of friendship - a union where no comparison or jealousy can enter.

Ray Karam link

26/11/2017 11:49:52 am

So beautifully put Liane Mandalis and this quote should be billboarded. In a world where we place many different views and measures on the word friendship this brings it all simply to light and gives us a rock like foundation for it all.

Willem Plandsoen

15/11/2017 09:39:34 pm

"Serge Benhayon is a truly loving, caring, beautiful man and friend and I am just the same" I can say exactly the same Ray. And never let thoughts interfere that I am otherwise.

Carola link

22/11/2017 10:26:59 am

Very gorgeous testimonial Ray. You highlight many great points for us to consider, such as, how sad it is to realise that we have wandered so far away from our innate way of being that when one walks in his true light we think is strange, a trick and not at all ‘normal'. And how enriched would our lives be, for us all, in we live in this way that you have described and witness Serge lives - ‘It is like Serge treats every moment like it is the most important moment there is.’ – with the importance and dedication to being and bringing all the love he is to every moment. This is for sure the future we are all naturally born to live.

JillSteiner

12/12/2017 12:02:22 pm

Such a very beautiful and heartfelt testimony Ray of a deep and loving friendship you have with Serge, who is an inspiration to us all by the way he lives his life dedicated to truth and to humanity, meeting us all with deep love absolutely equalness.

rachel murtagh link

10/1/2018 09:03:30 pm

Serge Benhayon's consistency evokes a deep sense of trust that until I had met him I had never seen. In the last 13 years of knowing him, the quality and care he meets every person in never fluctuates...never! This is simply my observation... add to it many other testimonials saying the same thing builds an accurate picture of the man. To hold this amount of steadiness for x amount of years is quite incredible in this day and age. Clearly something that Serge Benhayon is living is working!

Amparo Lorente Cháfer

14/1/2018 09:03:39 pm

There are persons in our life that make the difference when we meet them. With every encounter I have with Serge I feel embraced in the Love we all are and this strengthens my own connection to live it consistently in my life. He is a great inspiration just for being himself in full, for me to fully be who I am too.

Samantha

28/1/2018 10:29:20 pm

It is the simple activity of day to day life that says so much about a person, it is their foundation and everything else comes from that "If you have the blessing to spend any time with Serge, you will see his dedication to people is unsurpassed. For me he is a living legend. Not for all the great work he continually does but from the simple fact that everyone he meets, he actually meets." You know the quality of a man of makes the space to meet everyone equal. I Love that, it is an inspiration and it is also exquisite to receive.

Jennifer Smith

8/5/2018 12:16:25 pm

and its the simple act of waving to his neighbours, the quality of which Ray shared here. Serge takes care of every detail. Nothing is left.

Joshua Campbell

21/2/2018 04:10:57 am

Serge literally loves everyone the same and in no lesser qualities than he holds his own wife or himself for that matter. That is HUGE. Humungous in fact! Whilst for many we think of what this means it is often associated with pleasing or being nice but Serge turns this belief on its head!

Nico van Haastrecht

24/3/2018 10:14:52 pm

Sure Joshua, like so many concepts I held on life Serge presents again and again that life is not about concepts but only about to live in accord with universal laws, laws I too know so well but have buried under the comfortable concepts I had created for myself.

Adele Leung

3/3/2018 01:30:55 pm

There is so much equality felt in what you wrote about Serge. Equality is not only on seeing the truth in another and supporting it. It is constantly not holding ourselves back to share the divine reflection of us to be equally felt in another.

Danna Elmalah

4/3/2018 10:14:35 pm

This is teaching us so much, about how we are actually looking for love outside us, but that it is the reflection of simple love (for example Serge himself) that shows us the way of how to be our true selves too and be that love too. It only takes one man/woman to show something different, that if we are open for it, can change the world. There is not something special about one person, but the courage and discipline of that person, in a world full of creation and drama, is their willingness of absolute power. Like Serge Benhayon reflects to humanity - we are love, and we can live it!

Willem Plandsoen

6/3/2018 12:04:23 pm

Very very inspiring Ray. To hold Serge Benhayon, a man I also know for years, as an equal friend, is for me still a step to take. I know that he holds me like that and I fully recognize that although we meet only a couple of times each year, his friendship and love is always there. Good to deeply realize and take the step to also accept him as an equal friend

Nico van Haastrecht

24/3/2018 10:08:43 pm

I do recognise coming from the same angle in life Ray, to make meeting people about solving a problem or in making a deal at least all for personal gain. But for me too, trough the role model of Serge Benhayon and the many students I have found that life is about people first that made me a complete different man to be with.

Melinda Knights

31/3/2018 12:19:13 pm

Thank you Ray, it's beautiful to have the understanding that there are no special ones, that we all carry the same qualities within us, and that relationships can be a way to nurture that in each other so we each can live the fullness of our soul.

3/4/2018 08:09:28 pm

What a beautiful gift to bring into your relationships Ray - treating everyone as who they are first without the issue. That is such a joy to read and I too observe this in Serge - his intimacy with everyone is an amazing reflection to us all. Holding people in love and not judgement.

Joseph Barker

19/4/2018 02:51:42 pm

We think that friendship is dependent on ‘hard yards’, on lengthy conversation - on deep details shared of similar experiences. But Serge Bengayon dashes all of that - he shows us without doubt that true friendship is simply consistently living love. From here you offer others a dependable, solid, trusted support that is always there. This helps everyone know they are safe and cared for. What more could anyone ever want in a friend?

Danna Elmalah

21/4/2018 07:16:53 am

What a powerful message. Sharing how love is equal and how this man Serge Benhayon is simply an inspiration to bringing this love out in the open by his commitment to truth and humanity. I know Serge personally too and I can say that he is the most extraordinary and real person I know, that loves people to bits. No matter what age, race, culture, land, place you come from. You are know for who you truly are not the illusions we have let come in the way.

Jennifer Smith

8/5/2018 12:12:49 pm

When Serge is with someone, you can see that his whole attention is on that person, never veering his attention away, his focus remaining on the person and conversation at hand and in that moment (however long that is) time goes. Everyone gets the time that is needed. His dedication to people is amazing.

Danna Elmalah

10/6/2018 03:35:24 am

Beautiful Ray, for you shine the light on what Serge Benhayon for many is. I love reading these testimonials that bring a loving understanding of who Serge Benhayon is, from many angles.

Willem Plandsoen

16/6/2018 09:06:38 pm

Very inspiring Ray. I have known Serge Benhayon as well for ten years, but to be honest, to hold him as a friend, is still something I am working on. And I absolutely see that he holds me as a friend, and sees me as he equal. The fact that I don't hold him as friend shows I have judgement on myself that I am not worth of his friendship, thinking that for that I have to be the perfect student that lives all of his teachings. It is a lie, Serge loves me anyway, whatever I do.

Leigh Matson

6/7/2018 12:09:09 pm

While reading this I could say yes to feeling that sense of equality. Only differing by the quality of life we live in and by, the choices we make or the principles we value. But having taken Serge’s lead as inspiration I can say this way of living is definitely worth cherishing as he does.

Annelies van Haastrecht

23/7/2018 08:00:06 am

'For me he is a living legend. Not for all the great work he continually does but from the simple fact that everyone he meets, he actually meets. There is nothing else more important in that moment to him than you and it doesn’t matter who ‘you’ are, he will be the great friend he is to me with you.' I cannot but fully agree Ray and love how you so openly express your huge appreciation for Serge, a living legend and an inspiration for so many people in this world. The love he hold for all equal is beyond words, divine support for humanity.

Serge Benhayon is indeed leading the way to be with people. Just read the thousands of blogs and comments and you will see so many testimonials about how people's relationships have improved beyond measure. This one is a fine example. And he does it so amazingly because he lives it through and through. We all learn from observing him. And from there be inspired.

I’ve known Serge Benhayon now for 10 years and like Ray have observed a consistent quality in his approach to life and people that I’ve not known before. Talking to others who have known him for even longer it is very obvious that this consistency goes back to the very beginnings of Universal Medicine in 1999. I have also observed that what Serge Benhayon has been presenting through Universal Medicine has not changed over time, the teachings may have expanded but the essence and principles remain the same. From what I’ve observed this comes from his absolute dedication to people and to restoring to humanity the truth of who we are. I for one have a deep appreciation for the consistency of his loving commitment to people.

A true friend will always be there to tell you the truth, to hold us in love and to be the constant star we set our compass to. Serge Benhayon is all of these, not because he has any special talents, but he lives in a way that supports such a way of life. A true friend will show by his living way that living love is possible for everyone, and Serge Benhayon does exactly that. He is ordinary and extraordinary in his commitment to living this way. Thank God for Serge Benhayon.

Your testimonial about Serge Benhayon touches me deeply Ray. Love the way you appreciate him for how he is. It feels truly beautiful to see a man expressing love for another man without holding back. He inspires you and all of us to apply such a loving and equal care in everything we do in life, with every person we meet. He is a living legend as you well said, not because is more special than others, but because he makes possible living the potential that is available for all.

When I saw Serge Benhayon for the very first time I also thought 'where is the trick? No one moves like that in this world'. Over these years I've seen Serge presenting different courses and workshops, I've talked with him and always felt the same level of care and love in all what he brings. I could testify that there is no trick but an autenthicity that blowns me away and reminds me how unique we all are. His transparency and integrity, the steadiness, clarity, playfulness and depth in how he expresses is a blessing for all to see.

Beautifully expressed Inma. Serges transparency, authenticity and integrity are second to none and something I’d not ever witnessed in anyone before in over the sixty years of my living.

A true friendship is one where the absolute love of who we are is always reflected and never diminished or measured. Serge Benhayon is the epitome of what a true friend is reflecting what is in fact possible to live, in honor the equal love we are within, where judgement or comparison has no place only the inspiration to evolve to live the greatness of who we are in essence; our Soulful light.

The love of serge Benhayon is Unwavering, undoubting and ever so deeply touching. Time will show and history will teach, all the lies and stories told about him will come to light.

It is amazing how Serge continually offers love to all wherever and whoever he is with, 'I continue to ‘watch’ Serge and how he is with people. Not from a critique but from the fact that I see how people respond. I see that the great care and dedication Serge brings to every meeting supports people to grow.'

Sylvia Brinkman

Indeed you see Serge Benhayon in every moment with each person in the same quality. With love, care and humor and no ounce of judgement no matter what. This makes you feel more relax in your body to be just you.

Ray, this is such a beautiful account of Serge, the ordinary, extraordinary man that holds a love that runs so deep and how no borders. I remember when I experienced this some years ago when I went to the front desk and Serge was there talking to a friend. As I was standing there organising something, I could feel the depth of love for my friend as Serge was chatting with them. It was huge and my whole body opened up and a huge wave of joy/love filled me up, so when Serge had finished, he turned to me and asked me, can I help you Julie, and all I could say was, I love you Serge, I just can't help it, to which Serge smiled. In that moment Serge reflected the power of absolute love and its infinite nature.

Ray thank you for sharing. What I've learnt from Serge is very much not only what it feels like to have a true friend but also what it means to be a friend, what love is and what is really at the core of friendships. It's very different to what we call friendships in society today in that its about evolution not comfort and arrangements of moaning about people.

This is a beautiful testimony Ray of Serge Benhayon and the true friendship you share with this amazing and incredible man. Serge treats everyone equally with deep respect and love, it is a rare quality I have never felt from another before.

Who doesn't want a friendship like this? Serge Benhayon is also role modeling true friendship here. Very inspirational and touching, Ray.

Serge Benhayon is a truly loving man who inspires many, 'If you have the blessing to spend any time with Serge, you will see his dedication to people is unsurpassed. For me he is a living legend. Not for all the great work he continually does but from the simple fact that everyone he meets, he actually meets. There is nothing else more important in that moment to him than you and it doesn’t matter who ‘you’ are, he will be the great friend he is to me with you.' The more I get to know Serge the more his amazing qualities become apparent.

The love that Serge has for all mankind is enormous, making life all about people, he inspires us with the depth of love intregity and equaliness with how he lives his life, he reflects to us that by connection to our inner most we can live the same quality of livingness.

Natalie Hawthorne

I too have been amazed at how Serge Benhayon has so much love and treats everyone equally, the care and dedication he has for people is beautiful and inspiring. As you say Ray he has changed or had a day off, Serge is consistently been like this and if anything has deepened with it over time. He shows what is really possible in our relationships.

Andrew Mooney

I also have watched and observed Serge carefully over the years Ray firstly because I could not quite believe that a human being could be that consistently loving all the time but the more I watched and observed the more I realised he definitely was the real deal. I also continue to observe him every time I see him mostly because it is incredibly inspiring to witness how he lives and to therefore understand that it is possible for me to live with more love in my life too.

Sue Queenborough

“.... in his dedication to people there is an overwhelming equalness to everything he does.” Serge treats everyone the same and it is beautiful to witness the same level of live, care and attention he gives to all, regardless of whether you’ve known him for five minutes or fifteen years.

What I love about this Ray is that you have watched Serge Benhayon for many years, observed him in many situations and many times, watched and waited and tested his consistency and dedication. Here is an example of a living experience still continuing that inspires us to choose to live in a similar way.

Joshua Campbell

It is great you mention that Serge has too grown out of your relationship. Serge is a remarkable man. Utterly inspiring beyond words and it is easy to put him on a pedestal or get jealous, ignoring the fact that Serge does not want an ounce of this. He sees and holds us all equal to the grandness he reflects back to us. Amazing!

3/3/2019 01:28:03 pm

Serge Benhayon is a living example of how to handle the media. For to long we have allowed lies, manipulation, hatred and blame to come from our daily media feeding the masses poison. If we want to truly live in a harmonious world we need to become far more selective and discerning of the media we read.

Ingrid Ward

This is such a wonderfully heart-warming testimonial, Ray, from one beautiful man to another. Two men who in every moment bless this world with their absolute integrity, wisdom and grace. I had a chuckle when I read you thought that “one day you might catch him out” but you never did, and in the process, you have grown so much from what Serge is presenting to the world, and now you walk alongside him in equalness, both to him and to all others.

Samantha Davidson

23/11/2018 10:33:51 pm

I agree totally heart warming and beautiful to read of men writing about other men in such a way and appreciating one another.

Samantha Davidson

'Loving dedication' is correct....Serge Benhayon lives this for humanity and inspires it. In honesty we can all see this, but what do we do when we do see this, jealousy and fury or inspiration. If we can put our issues aside there is gold in allowing the inspiration in to our lives.

Sandra Vicary

"Serge has never changed, in fact the qualities that ‘struck’ me on that first day have deepened further and he is more caring with the people I see him with than any person I know." Isnt it interesting how we so quickly think that there must be a trick, or something wrong with how someone is behaving if they are not showing the ususal signs of dismissing someone or not greeting them in the same way that they normally do, or even treating some people in one way and others in another? This is one of the many unique and deeply honouring qualities about Serge Benhayon, as without fail he will greet everyone with the same love and care, with no exceptions.

Ariana

Serge Benhayon is a true friend, he will always tell you the truth and never lie to you, he will always love you no matter what. That is a Stirling friend.

3/3/2019 01:22:51 pm

Everyday of the 7 years I have known Serge Benhayon has been a blessing, this man is everything all in one.
My husband and I know without doubt we would not have so much love, joy, commitment and love in our lives if it was not for Serge Benhayon.

3/3/2019 01:27:18 pm

For too long the media have dominated public opinion often based on lies and manipulation to suit their own agenda. The way that Serge Benhayon has handle lies and allegations thrown at him is an inspiration to us all.

3/3/2019 01:27:32 pm

This is a great expose on an industry that has channelled evil for too long. The media industry has a huge responsibility to report the truth yet for many journalists it is about recognition and getting the story out with little regard to what is really true.

3/3/2019 01:30:19 pm

The media have been one of the biggest spreaders of Evil for eons. The media are responsible for so much hatred and blame and we are responsible for letting it happen when we have know all along much of what we read is not true or necessary.

'Everyone he spoke to was important and it didn’t seem to matter if he had known you five minutes or five years, he would greet everyone with a great care.' This is so true. There is no 'iv'e known you longer therefore I will be more open, joyfull, loving and caring with you than someone I have just met’. Instead everyone is treated equally. It completely breaks down that clicky-i-ness that can be played out in groups where people have known each other a long time over others. It is so refreshing, like a breath of fresh air and deeply inspiring in how to truly be with people.

Many of us collect friends to feel good about ourselves, somebody to have a rant to about our boss or our family, somebody to have a cup of tea/ coffee with & gossip about the neighbour - it's a relief so that we don't have to look at our own lives and deal with the mess we may have made. But to have a friend like Serge, somebody who is always willing to support - truly, somebody who is not afraid to lose friends because he would say exactly how things are, a person who cares ever so deeply that he does say the truth & does not entertain any mischief is a real gift.

That's the thing there is no trick, people try to catch Serge Benhayon out but there's nothing to catch. It would be like trying to catch the wind. Serge Benhayon has become a symbol of a way of life that is so worth living just by presenting to the world what he knows to be true in his heart and nothing can or will sway him from what he knows to be true. If we were to stop and think about this in this day and age that is a very rare commodity where we seem to place little value to the life we live.

Melinda Knights

What a beautiful read, thanks Ray. Serge is truly a gorgeous person, and I have witnessed the joy he feels when people around him are growing and becoming the same love and joy. And, it’s truly amazing what you have shared about how Serge holds every moment equal, very inspiring to realise we can all live this way.
