<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I am very proud of you, because you are changing things on Earth. You don\u2019t know it, you don\u2019t see it, but it\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n
Only you, only the Raelians, are every day sending love to the Elohim. Millions of people pray \u2013 and among them, Jewish people say the name Elohim, but they don\u2019t know who they are. The only human beings who connect to the Elohim not just on Sunday but every single day \u2013 it\u2019s you, the Raelians.<\/p>\n
I saw something, this morning, still laughing, a stupid journalist. Normally, journalists are supposed to inform people, but usually they disinform people. They spread false news; they say stupid things.<\/p>\n
But, as Pablo Picasso said, \u201cwhen they talk about us, when they talk about me, I am very happy. Even if they say terrible things\u201d. And I always try, with a new comment or a new provocative sentence, to create this hostility. Because if I am politically correct and not disturbing anybody, nobody will talk about us.<\/p>\n
If they were real journalists, they would talk about us positively everywhere. That never happens. Even when they want to, the director of their publication says, \u201cno, no, no, don\u2019t give good news about Raelians\u201d. So, I give them material they can criticize.<\/p>\n
And as Picasso also said, \u201cI have no problem with people criticizing my painting. I have a problem with people who don\u2019t talk about me\u201d. So, I give them matter to criticize.<\/p>\n
Gotopless, that\u2019s not connected to the last prophet. But it creates reactions. Geniocracy, that\u2019s not connected to the Elohim Embassy. Clitoraid. Everywhere I try to find things that will shock them. And they will criticize us. So, they will talk about us. That\u2019s visibility. Supporting Palestine, that\u2019s not my mission. But it makes them talk about us.<\/p>\n
And the last news this morning started in Africa. Media are talking about us. You know that Burkina Faso is a very important country in Africa, one that was colonized and exploited by France. The wonderful leader of Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traor\u00e9, cut diplomatic relations with France. He took back all the gold mines, all the mines that were being exploited by France with very little going back to the country. He said, \u201cthat\u2019s it, it\u2019s finished. Get out\u201d. And now it all belongs to the country. He expelled all the French diplomats. No more French embassy in Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n
And one journalist connected the Raelian Movement, which is actively working to create an Embassy for the Elohim, to the expelled French embassy. And big headlines appeared in African media: Maitreya Rael wants to create the Embassy of the Elohim in the French embassy.<\/p>\n
Of course, it\u2019s not true. We have a map; we have a model of the Embassy; it\u2019s not a building in a city. But what fantastic visibility! Everybody is now talking about it. The Raelians will create the Embassy for the Elohim in the French embassy in Burkina Faso. I was crying laughing. I should have thought of that myself!<\/p>\n
It came from one journalist. And some Raelians wanted to put out a press release saying, \u201cno, it\u2019s false\u201d. I said, \u201cdon\u2019t do anything! No comment. They are talking about us. Fantastic\u201d. This is the best news of the day. They talk about us.<\/p>\n
And many young Africans are now excited about the idea of welcoming the Elohim in Africa. They talk, they talk, they talk. And for sure many young Africans will discover the Message thanks to this lie. So, I told the African guides, \u201csend congratulations to this journalist. Congratulations! Don\u2019t say we will do it, don\u2019t say we won\u2019t \u2013 just: congratulations!\u201d<\/p>\n
I am a little sad, a little frustrated, that I didn\u2019t have this idea myself. But the journalists are helping us. So, is it true? No comment. Talk, talk! They are talking about the Raelian Movement, and now it\u2019s a big subject everywhere, the Raelians want to build the Embassy in Burkina Faso, in the French embassy. Wow!<\/p>\n
We Raelians know it\u2019s not true. We have models of the Embassy; we know where it\u2019s supposed to be. But what wonderful visibility! And that was my laughter of this morning, and I wanted to share it with you. People are talking about us. We cannot be ignored. That is our goal.<\/p>\n
I am sure that everywhere you go, when you talk to people about the Raelian Movement, they know what it is. And we need to make sure everybody knows who we are. We are the crazy people who want to welcome extraterrestrials. We are the crazy people who promote peace on Earth. Enjoy the people who say bad things about us. They are our best publicity.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s incredible, in fifty years of doing what I do, in every country, we have had negative articles in newspapers. And Raelians would say, \u201coh, terrible, bad articles.\u201d I say, \u201csend congratulations to the journalists!\u201d The number of Raelians who joined the movement thanks to negative articles is incredible. Even the worst articles, the worst reports saying the most terrible things about us, in the days or weeks that follow, I receive letters from people saying: I saw this article, and I read the Message.<\/p>\n
The worst article possible \u2013 saying that we organize orgies, that we are pedophiles \u2013 and intelligent people read it, check the Internet, read the Message, and come. So negative words from journalists help us. Of course, we would prefer if they said, \u201cRaelians are wonderful, Rael is a fantastic man\u201d. Yes, we would prefer that. But nobody says that.<\/p>\n
These false journalists throw manure on me. They cover me with it. But intelligent people search under the manure. Normal people, ordinary people say, \u201coh, it\u2019s shit, and walk away\u201d. But we are not interested in ordinary people. We are interested in the people who push it aside and ask, \u201cwhat is underneath?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sometimes there is a lot to dig through. But underneath is the Message. And they read it. And they see the difference between what the media says and what is actually in the Message. And then they join us.<\/p>\n
So, we will build the Embassy in Africa, in the French embassy. And I am still crying laughing. I always try to find things like that, to provoke, to disturb. I couldn\u2019t have imagined this one myself. That journalist is fantastic.<\/p>\n
So, think about it. Be you. Be you. Laugh like crazy. Wear UFO clothes. Strange hats. Strange writing. Visibility. Yes, ordinary people will consider you like shit. But we are interested in intelligent people. And they will see something unusual on your T-shirt, and they all have a phone, Rael.org, and they check. Bingo!<\/p>\n
So, Raelians, don\u2019t try to be normal. Laugh like crazy. Sing like crazy. Dance like crazy. And when people ask why, Rael.org. That\u2019s your mission. That\u2019s my mission.<\/p>\n
When I was younger and traveling a lot, sometimes in airports I would wear a jacket because of the cold and nobody could see my medal. But people would come to me anyway because of the strange hat, the strange jacket, everything strange. \u201cWho are you? You look different.\u201d Rael.org. No comment. And they check. And that\u2019s why we are together.<\/p>\n
So, be you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
