What if you were given the key to life – would you take it? Would you even recognise it for what it was or know what to do with it?
I recently began pondering on this as I found myself composing an email in my head to Serge Benhayon, the founder of Universal Medicine. Over the past few years, I have written Serge a dozen or so emails asking what seemed like huge questions about my life. All of my emails have been responded to lovingly, with a few simple words.
As I thought about the next email I was writing, it occurred to me that perhaps Serge had already answered me. Perhaps what was answered in one of my previous emails was applicable to the current question. Perhaps his one-liners are in fact keys to life.
Each time I have been given such a key, I have accepted it with huge gratitude and placed it in my metaphorical key bowl. It sits there with all the other keys Serge has gifted me over the years.
I also have a collection of keys that I’ve been given at retreats, workshops and presentations… my set of keys is quite impressive!
So I have all these keys, but do I know what to do with them?
What if I took just one of these keys and made use of it – if I put into action any one of the things Serge has presented or shared? What comes up is a feeling of “It won’t work.” But if I am honest, I know the keys will work. In fact, all the keys will do the same thing. They will help me to unlock those parts of me that have played safe, those parts I have kept hidden so that I am not asked to show too much of my true self to the world. These ‘locked doors’ are simply walls I have erected that stand between myself and others in the guise of protection. These walls offer no safety, only imprisonment, as only love and our expression of it can truly protect. This may perhaps explain why there is a huge part of me that does not want to try the keys. Perhaps there is a part of me that needs to have an issue to deal with or to have something to work at. Perhaps I feel safe here in my comfort zone with the doors locked. Perhaps I have become identified with having a certain level of problems because they keep me living in separation to the love that I am and my expression of this love with all others.
So here I am, happy collecting keys, pretending I am working on evolving and asking for more keys each time I reach a blockage in my path. I like building my key collection and knowing that I have them. But again, if I am really honest, they are being used as mere ornaments if I stop short of using them as they are designed to be used and that is to access the universal wisdom that is on offer inside me, inside us all, as Serge so lovingly and tirelessly shares with us.
So now it is time for me to look at my bowl of keys and make a choice as to whether I will use them. For it is only this one simple choice that stands between me and the great treasure I hold, we all hold, deep within.

Who is Serge Benhayon?
Our Bodies Hold the Key to the Truth of Who We Are
The Truth about Universal Medicine 
What if all it took was one key and we took responsibility for everything in life and turned what questions we have into the answers we are looking for by choosing the energy we are in first and foremost, and thus walking our talk and feeling our bodies first? Then the Joy-full-ness that would be our living way and the ensuing appreciation would open up or expand our evolution to be a True Son of God.
Nikki, I really appreciate what you have written here because what you say feels true.
That we have been presented with so many keys but which one will unlock the main door to the wall we have erected to protect ourselves from the perceived hurts of the world. I feel I can say from experience that there are many doors but when you unlock the main door then the whole universe stands before you and you remember who you are in truth unshackled by the lies and deceit that you have bought into as they were presented as the only way. Now, of course, we have a choice a different model of life to choose.
“they are designed to be used and that is to access the universal wisdom that is on offer inside me, inside us all”. It’s a big difference between just receiving support (which is often needed), or also receiving the reflection of equality that comes with that support to know you can access that same universal wisdom.
Yes, we have been given plenty of keys through the teachings of Serge Benhayon and every one is worth gold.
Serge Benhayon continually offers all keys through his many presentations.
Thanks, Nikki just what I needed to read this morning. We have been given so many keys and yet we only need one from the bowl.
I cannot but wonder why do we choose to ignore or otherwise disregard the keys we are constantly presented in day to day life that unlock the doors to our wisdom.
How wonderful it would be to have the keys Nikki was offered shared with all, as I am sure they would enrich everyone.
I too have been offered many valuable keys by Serge Benhayon and I have grabbed them with both hands, appreciating what I have been offered at the time. But, in spite of this appreciation, some of those keys were put aside, to be used ‘later’. Recently I have been reminded of how life-changing these keys actually are, and leaving them sitting in the ‘key bowl’ my life is definitely not going to change, whereas picking them up, one at a time and using them, I know that I am opening the door to very wonderful way of living; so note to self – ‘why leave them, gathering dust?’
One of the early keys, years back, that was shared with myself, and I’m sure with many other people was simply, ‘Be Love’. How simple and yet powerful is that; if we were all to just Be Love and to live that then that would be a game changer, we would all be returning to who we are in Truth.
I loved reading this. We are often given gems, keys or whatever you want to call it and it is only when we embody it, does it feel right to share it with others, otherwise it is regurgitating knowledge, which we are very good at or society expect us to do so.
The ‘key to life’ is within us all and would I take it? – absolutely.
The fact that when we read any of Serge Benhayon’s books we always find something that feels relevant to us at that very moment is bit of a giveaway – it makes me wonder if we are playing the same game over, and over, and over, but appealing that there’s something new/different that needs to be changed/improved/fixed/let go etc., but really, we are just fighting ourselves in any way we can think of, refusing to use the key while holding it in our own hand.
Fumiyo what you have said resonates with me that we fight ourselves or that there is a part of us that fights the fact that we are all on our journey back to God, We can play as many games as we like but the fact is we are here on this plane of life to evolve and the keys we are given support us to return.
Spot on Mary, we are playing games, we are delaying being who we are in truth and returning to that magnificence, ‘We can play as many games as we like but the fact is we are here on this plane of life to evolve and the keys we are given support us to return.’
This is so true. We have been given so much already, and we have a huge collection of keys. Each time we get given a new key, we get very excited. But the thing is there’s only one door.
This describes beautifully how we have the answers we seek already within us.
Indeed it does Esther, but I have to ask to what depth are we actually aware of and live this wisdom that is held equally within us all in our everyday lives?
Whether we have met Serge or know of him or not does not change the fact that we all have the same access to the key that will unlock the expression of who we truly are. Whether we have it given to us more clearly by Serge or not does not change the fact that we are the ones that must activate it.
Beautifully said Joshua. We were all born with those keys, and even though life as we know it doesn’t, in most cases, support us to use them, they never leave us, always waiting to be picked when we are ready. Yes, we are the only ones who can use them, as we are the only ones who can make the choice to change our lives.
Just love this Nikki as it highlight how we all in fact have access to living to power of who we are and are here to live, it is that we only choose to deny and resist it in order to avoid the responsibility of living truth and what this means in terms of letting go of our addiction to creation.
‘Perhaps I have become identified with having a certain level of problems because they keep me living in separation to the love that I am and my expression of this love with all others.’ This was more or less the topic of a conversation I had with my partner the other night at the dinner table, and although it was not that much about having problems but still relevant. It came down to where is the key to the joy, do we allow the magic and joy into our lives or are we identified with the smallness of human existence and adding to the seperation of the love we all are.
A single key can be completely transformative when used and especially when used in full.
This shows Serge’s unwavering love and commitment to us all. He is prepared to keep offering keys of wisdom regardless of how irresponsible we choose to use them. There is not an ounce of judgement from this man only love, understanding and a commitment to not hold back the absolute truth.
We can receive much support and many keys, but at the end of the day its up to us to pick up a key, put it into the lock and open the door. No-one can do this for us, no matter how hard we may try.

I love the honesty in this blog Nikki about how we prefer to continue to erroneously ‘protect’ ourselves, rather than use the keys of love that have been presented from the love of humanity that Serge Benhayon holds, to unlock the hurts that have been hidden away deep inside over aeons of time.
“They will help me to unlock those parts of me that have played safe, those parts I have kept hidden so that I am not asked to show too much of my true self to the world. These ‘locked doors’ are simply walls I have erected that stand between myself and others in the guise of protection”.
Loved reading this account of all the keys we now have that Serge Benhayon has delivered to humanity, and I could not help but feel that we can almost have an addiction to learning and acquiring more keys, as if there is going to be one delivered that is the ‘silver bullet’ to all our issues in a way that does the work of healing for us. But in the end, as Nikki has shared, we really just need to start with one key and really live it on a daily basis, and take responsibility for how we have held back the love that is the key to everything.
It really is up to us to use the keys we have been given. “You can lead a horse to water, but can’t make it drink”.
One of the signs of the key being the right key is that the key actually works.
Nikki, it is so true what you have written I feel the entire world has been given thousands of keys. Serge Benhayon presents the same message in so many different ways and the information has a slightly different angle and one of those thousands of angles or keys will eventually unlock the prisoner from their individual cell. It could be one word that you may have heard repeated a million times, then something magical happens and you are ready to hear that word and that one word enters your body and springs the lock and everything unravels and you come home to your inner heart and God. This is the alchemy of the divine.
I agree that Serge Benhayon presents these ‘one-liners’ and ‘are in fact keys to life’. I have written long emails and the responses have been very simple one-liners and even when I go over these emails, my past issues become irrelevant and sometimes I even think to myself, did I really write about that. But when I read the quality and integrity in his responses, they are still valid and hold the key to a current issue and life itself – what an offering.
We can think we have problems, or issues, really they are just a distraction, ‘Perhaps I have become identified with having a certain level of problems because they keep me living in separation to the love that I am and my expression of this love with all others.’
The key to life is love and with a combination lock when we align the preset numbers there is nothing to stand in our way.
I agree Mary and love opens all doors for us to shine our light and it is a universal key.
Love is the key to life, so simple.
I love your honesty Nikki. It is crazy that we keep collecting keys rather than using just one to open the Kingdom of Heaven.
I love this blog Nikki, we have access to so many keys, we fight the simplicity and complicate life at times when all the while there is a different way and answer to everything we ever need to know.
When we are standing in the dark, it could be difficult to see the key we hold in our hand, we may feel its weight, size, and shape but we cannot see clearly where to insert the key to unlock the wisdom. And, when we step into the light, we can see clearly the steps to unlock the door to wisdom. So, do we choose to stand in the dark with the key in our hand or step into the light and take the steps forward to access to the universe?
I took your blog, what you are so honestly sharing here and I do recognise, into my day today and it activated me to just be and present what was asked for and to be honest when a certain comfort kicked in in the afternoon to come back to, continuing to live from the connection with my inner heart. The key is to be me!
In the last few weeks I have been listening to several recordings of Serge Benhayon sharing the Ageless Wisdom and the first thing I noticed is the numerous ‘keys to life’ that he has been offering us for nearly 20 years. And he doesn’t just present them once but repeats many times just in case we didn’t feel to take a particular key in the first instance. But of course, we can take up as many as we like but then living what they are offering us is the next crucial step, and that is always our choice.
What if it’s as simple as taking one part of our life and instead of sitting on it – using on of our many collected keys and actually exploring and initiating it in our life? What then could be possible?
I find that when I connect with someone like Serge Benhayon, I get the answer that I would have asked about or at least settle into my body and the knowing that the answer will come. It’s not that I get the answer from them, I can feel that I open up to the knowing that I am equally connected to and able to access the wisdom of my soul. It’s never a giving of power away, as has been my tendency but a restoring of the fullness of me.
