A NSW spiritual healer suing an ex-client for defamation has
told a jury people who abused their authority, such as Roman emperor Nero,
dictators and corrupt politicians, are reincarnated as disabled children.
Serge
Isaac Benhayon on Thursday claimed such abusers were reincarnated as people
with autism, Down syndrome or other disabilities — but he admitted his belief
was not supported by medical science.
Mr Benhayon, the founder of Lismore-based Universal Medicine,
contends the blog contained defamatory meanings, including that he was a sexual
predator and the leader of a cult.
Ms
Rockett has pleaded a range of defences, including truth and honest opinion.
On
Wednesday Mr Benhayon told a court that most people have lived at least 2300
lives and he is the reincarnation of Leonardo da Vinci.
Mr Benhayon testified that he received information about past
lives by accessing the “ageless wisdom”, and he was a female author in his most
recent former life.
Mr
Benhayon said on Wednesday he felt Ms Rockett had “basically crossed every
line” and attempted to demolish his reputation when he first sawher blog post
about him.
“You
feel raped. You feel that you’ve been stripped,” he said.
He
said Ms Rockett’s claims definitely were not true and he was taking her to
court to protect his reputation and because he strongly believed in having a
fair and decent society.
His
barrister has contended Ms Rockett’s blog contained defamatory meanings,
including that his client was the leader of a socially harmful cult, a sexual
predator, had indecently touched her in the treatment room, preys on cancer
patients and is delusional.
The
defamation trial continues.
