I compare my state of mind now with how it was at the beginning – the very beginning, right after receiving the Message from the Elohim. At the time, I was very useful, I was necessary, very important. Everything was on these little shoulders, and now it’s on you! And you do it so well. Please, make me
useless!
When you spread the Message beautifully, when you motivate the Movement, I am absolutely useless, and I love it. So, if you love me and if you want to make me happy, make me absolutely useless. Remember this beautiful sentence that I love: “When the student is ready, the teacher appears. When the student is really ready, the teacher disappears.” [Lao Tsu]
So, you make me happy because I see – I constantly see – what a wonderful job you do. Whatever you do, I feel you. You don’t know, but sometimes I’m watching you. Even if we are separated by a long distance, I feel you. Please, continue like that!
In the New Testament, it is said that Jesus had a piece of bread and multiplied it. With one bread, he could feed many people. It’s the same with you. At the beginning, I had no bread – just a little piece – and I multiplied it: you are the bread of the Elohim. Feel it! Each of you is so important for the Elohim.
Never think: “Oh, the level 5s, the guides, are important, but not me.” This is the biggest mistake you can make. Whatever your level – which is absolutely meaningless – don’t gargle yourselves with your level. Some people – I will not give any names – say: “I am a guide; I am level 5.” You are serving the Elohim. When you spread the Message of the Elohim, you are all level 0. If you inflate your ego with the level, you lose the essence of the Message.
The levels are important to organize our Movement – mainly to have people to blame if something goes wrong; we have to find victims! So, the higher your level is, if something is wrong, the more guilty you should feel. Simple Raelians –what we call “simple Raelians” – are the most important ones.
Our organization, yes, we need to be organized, but that’s not our main priority. Our main priority is to spread the Message, to spread love, to dance the Message, to sing the Message, to reach people – because there are still many people who don’t know it. And it’s not the level 5 who have the most contact with these people.
So, think about it: without any level, as a pure Raelian, you are the most important! Don’t have any bad feelings when you see people saying: “I’m level 4, I’m level 5.” Did any of you ever hear me say: “I’m level 6”? I am here to serve you, to support you – like Jesus washing the feet of the apostles. That’s a symbol of humility.
If you become real spiritual guides, you serve other people, you don’t dominate. In a teacher, the ego disappears. Your worst enemy is the ego; it’s the opposite of love. When there is love, other people are more important than you – especially people who don’t know the Message.
When you spread or contact new people, you need to be absolutely egoless. “I am a guide”? No! The people you meet may be the future guide of guides. Don’t look at them as: “Okay, they are just Raelians.” Maybe they will be leaders of our organization – thanks to you.
The most beautiful thing is to find somebody who is better than you. Then ego disappears, and humility takes place: “I am the humble servant of the Elohim.” I am at service – not controller, manager, director – that’s bullshit. With your love, you serve the Elohim, and people must feel it in your eyes.
And it’s so motivating for yourselves. When you place a shield of a level around you, you cut yourselves from love. The simplest people who join our organization – you must always remember what your feeling was when you discovered the Message. Remember that feeling. Of course, when you think about it, you remember it. But remember it even when you don’t think about it.
Just when you are a human among other humans: “I am at the service of the Elohim.” Then you shine, and naturally, people will come to you, and they will want to listen to the light: “What is this light?” If you have light inside you – the light of the Message of the Elohim – it shines.
When I was traveling, many times I met people in airports, airplanes, everywhere. I was not always wearing the big medal – no! Sometimes I was just dressed like everybody, and people came and said: “Who are you?” Because they felt something – without the medal, without the Rael’s costume. I love to travel incognito. “Who are you?” Bingo! That must come from people, and it’s the same with you – you have to trigger this question in them.
Even if you feel that you are almost nothing – please, feel even more nothing! Then you shine. “Who are you?” So many times, people asked me, for no reason – they just felt something. My answer was like Buddha said: “I am.” I don’t say: “I’m French, I am a teacher, I am a prophet” – no, no – a drawer is opening.
I will tell you something about my personality: I am in love with freedom. That’s number one. Sometimes journalists ask me: “What is the most important thing for you?” Freedom! I don’t want to belong to a country, not even to a group – I am free! I live in Japan, but I’m not Japanese. I can change country tomorrow; I can change planet tomorrow – I don’t even belong to humanity!
And this love for freedom makes you a Buddha. That’s why if somebody asks you: “Who are you?” then you can answer: “I am.” Are you? – [I am] – Feel it! No level 5, no level 4, not even Raelian; you are a unique creation of the Elohim. Shine it! Shine! Shine your light! And then people will naturally come to you – you don’t have to have pamphlets, no! That’s your target, that’s your goal: to have people looking at you and thinking, “Who is this person?” and then asking you: “Who are you?”
To trigger this question is not easy. You cannot be a grey person in the grey crowd. Love to be! If you are you, there is like a ray of light coming out of you. In this world, where so many people think of killing themselves, everybody is trying to find what they call “the meaning of life.”
This question is already stupid: “What is the meaning of life?” People ask: “What is the meaning of life?” That’s already a mentally sick question. The meaning of life is to be alive! You don’t need any reason.
Do you think the little bird on the branch of the tree in the morning, when it starts singing – do you think it’s thinking: “What’s the meaning of life?” It just starts singing. You are like that. Sing your song!
Then everybody will try to understand: “What kind of bird is that?” That’s what we do when a bird sings in the tree. Always the thinking brain: “Let’s check on Google what it is.” That’s a poison.
When I was living in Quebec, in the middle of the forest, many times Raelians from Montreal came with me and enjoyed walking in the forest. Then we would see a bird on a branch and people would ask, “What is this bird?” and immediately take out their phones to check on Google – it’s a poison! When you do that, the bird flies away immediately.
It’s the same with deer. I was trying to find a deer. When you go into the forest and want to get close to the deer, every time people coming from the city said: “Oh, look!” – and the deer ran away. I tried to avoid that with the Raelians following me. I told them: “Never use your hands; use your ears and your eyes.” Sometimes I could feel two or three deer looking at us.
“Do you see something?” – “No!” – “Right now, three deer are looking at you.” They don’t see them. “Where, where?” It’s very special. People who go into the forest for the first time want to be like in Walt Disney movies, where you see a full Bambi. It never happens! You see one head, one leg, one tail – you
never see the full animal. But you have to look, to feel.
And that’s the same thing for being you. Shine your light and always be thankful to the Elohim. Not only is it important – it’s also important for your happiness.
Train yourselves to be amazed by nature every day. Every day we go walking to the beach, and every day I save at least two worms and two snails – they are on the road, and cars are passing. So, every time, I stop and bring them to the side of the road. So stupid, eh? In my life, I’ve saved thousands of animals. It’s a life.
Where do they come from? They are creations of the Elohim. One day there was the first cockroach – the male was called Adam, the female Eve. For each species of animal, there was the first couple.
When you contemplate – contemplation is even stronger than meditation; “contemplating,” in the Christian tradition, is higher than meditation and prayer; in Buddhism also – just looking. No need to go to the beach when the sun rises; you can be in a city, with a busy street, and sit down and contemplate life.
Then everything becomes fulfilling: the feeling of life, the feeling of consciousness – even more, the feeling of supraconsciousness shines inside you. But you have to look, you have to hear – not walk like robots. Because our civilization makes us robots; it cuts us from what is.
So, contemplation is higher than meditation. You feel what is – with eyes, with ears. The basic meditation: “Where am I?” To know where you are, you have to watch. To feel life, you have to feel life. “Where am I? Why am I here?” It’s not the thinking brain – it’s contemplation! You have a panoramic vision of who you are, and that connects you to everything.
And the last question – do you remember? “Who is with me?” Who is with you? Who is with you now? – [Maitreya] – Yes! I am with you, and through me, the Elohim are with you. Feel them! BE YOU! But really be.
One of the most terrible things in life about being you – thankfully, it’s not used often anymore – is the business card. In Japan, a lot of business cards are exchanged: “Thank you!” You are not what is on a business card. Everything you are – it’s not on your business card. I love to watch the Japanese when they exchange business cards. It’s spectacular. They bow to each other, present the card gently with both hands, saluting: “This is me!” A piece of paper. You are everything – but not a piece of paper. And there is a ritual that I love to watch: how to give, how to receive, where you put the business card after. You have to be very careful – you cannot put it in your pocket, no! It must be in a precious place. But that’s
not you.
I don’t have a business card. Imagine if I had one – that would be funny! People coming: “Who are you?” And then I would bow to them, giving them my business card. Be you! And the answer is not a business card. The answer is: “I am.” Don’t say what. If you say what, you prove that you are stupid: “I am stupid.” I am everything. That’s who you are when you spread the Message.
Spreading the Message is not giving a pamphlet everywhere – it is shining your light. It is not on a piece of paper; it must be written in your eyes.
