I would like everybody to focus on one thing.
We are together here, and we see people we love. Me, I cannot look at you as you are now. I see you as a baby.
Inside our heart, we never age. The little boy or the little girl is still alive here. And sometimes, in the boring life of society, something happens which wakes up the child inside us. It can be a poster announcing a public speech, it can be a book, it can be a joke. Suddenly we laugh and we cannot stop. Every time you laugh, it’s not you, it’s the little boy, the little girl you are who laughs.
Society and education force us to look serious. If you laugh, automatically somebody says, “Why are you laughing?” That’s the opposite of the good question. Me, I look at everybody, everywhere I go, not only with Raelians, and I ask, “Why are you not laughing?” Because we should be laughing constantly. When you were a little boy and a little girl, you were constantly laughing. I love watching children. They fall, they hurt their knees, itai!, and they cry one minute, and then they are laughing. That’s who we are. We are born to laugh.
When the Elohim created life on Earth, many people imagine big laboratories, with the Elohim very seriously creating life. They were laughing constantly. You always imagine Yahweh like a god. I tell you, be ready when you welcome them in the embassy: the Elohim are never serious. You can see it in their creation. Is there anything funnier than a crab?
Imagine the Elohim in their laboratories, meeting every day to compare their creations. And they always try to surprise the others, to make them laugh. Every animal is walking beautifully, and, all of a sudden one says, “I have a surprise for you.” Pop! A little animal that moves sideways. Crabs never move forward, they move sideways. Imagine how much they were all laughing. For every animal, every plant, and the funniest of all: the human.
Imagine the first human beings they created: everybody laughing, “Wow! What a funny animal!”
And that’s who we are, we naturally laugh when we see human beings. Everywhere, not only seeing babies. Everybody smiles and laughs when they see a baby. When you see a baby, how do you react? Almost everybody says: “Oh, so cute!” But when you meet adults, no more. Adults are as funny and cute as babies. And that is how to make this planet happy: to go back to the child. Happiness is in the eyes of the one who is looking.
And I see, especially in Asia, that when people laugh, they try to hide it, as if it is not good to be laughing, even smiling, always with the hand in front of the mouth. I watch TV sometimes, Korean programs with many beautiful girls, and suddenly there is something funny. As soon as they laugh, they hide their mouth.
Why? As if it is not good to be happy. “I’m sorry for laughing.” No, I’m sorry to be serious! So, laughing is becoming like the Elohim. Be ready to laugh a lot when they arrive. But people love this image of the old man with a long beard.
All the prophets were laughing. Jesus was laughing. But we create the image of somebody suffering. It’s not true. They betray the image of the prophets. Only one has kept the right image: Buddha. You have, especially in China, statues of Buddha laughing, with his mouth wide open. You know these statues. Buddha is not serious. Some countries show Buddha like that [serious]. But it’s a betrayal of who he was. In China, Buddha is shown laughing, mouth wide open, with a big belly, sometimes lying down and laughing.
Visualize the difference it makes in people.
In Europe and America, Western people grow up with the image of a suffering Jesus. Muslim people are protected from that because they say it is forbidden to show images of Mohammed or God. But still, people imagine. Imagine what kind of image they have of Allah, or Yahweh, or Mohammed. Mohammed was laughing all the time. But no, no, no, a prophet must be serious. I am not serious. I have never been serious, and I will never be serious. I want to die, not now, but I want to die laughing.
For many people, to think about death is to think of something sad. Even if they believe in heaven and believe that after they die, they go to paradise, they still cry. Do you really believe? If you really believe in paradise, you die laughing.
I remember, a few years ago, I had a stroke. I almost died. But my first reaction was, “I’m coming!” No reason to be sad. I love the Earth, but I prefer the eternal life planet.
We all have friends or family who die, and it will happen for you, be sure, you will die. How do you want to die? Afraid? Sad? Crying? Or laughing? Your choice. And every day is a little death. Every day you live has an end. And you go to bed at night or on a futon. You are never sure to wake up the next morning. Are you anxious? “Oh, maybe I will die tonight.” Or happy? “I’m ready. If it’s time, I will laugh.” And you die laughing. And you arrive on the eternal life planet. Imagine: you wake up on a bed, on the Elohim planet. What kind of emotion will you have? Of course, you cannot stop laughing. Even if you believe Maitreya’s story, there is always a little doubt. Don’t say, “No, I know.” Is it true? Is it really true? But when you wake up on the Elohim planet, you cannot stop laughing, because it’s true. I am here, alive, and I was dead. Imagine your happiness.
I went through this experience. After the stroke, I went to the hospital. They put me in a coma to protect what was left of my brain. And after two days, I woke up. I really remember this moment. You start to feel alive, and look around: am I on the Elohim planet? Immediately! Because I thought I had died. And I saw a nurse. And I started laughing at myself. I am still on Earth. Almost sad, but quickly laughing at my expectation, and I couldn’t stop laughing. Still on Earth.
So, death, think about death every day, because, again, it is coming. Live every day as if it were the last one, because one day it will be. We never know when. You know many Raelians who have disappeared. Who is next? We don’t know, but somebody is next. And that’s why we must give love to each other. Love each other while you are alive. Don’t lose one minute. Tell each other how much you love them. Don’t be shy. I love you. Say it.
There is much beautiful music on Earth. But the most beautiful music is not the one we hear with the ears. It’s the song you hear with the ears of the heart. When you look at somebody in the eyes and say, “I love you.” It’s not sexual, eh? It can be, but it’s not. It’s just: I am honored to be alive at the same time as you. You may die tonight. It might be me. We are not sure. But if I meet you, I want to say, “I love you.” And you have to feel it.
Love can only exist if there is expression of love and feeling.
And this is what we have to do. And it goes with laughing. One day, we will have the last laugh with somebody. The last time you will laugh. The last laugh. There will be the last breath. Finish. But train yourself so that the last breath could be laughing. I want to do that. You can die, “Oh…” Not fun. Or you can die laughing. Train yourself. Every day. And don’t hide your happiness. When you laugh, don’t put your hand in front of it. It’s so beautiful. And you know how contagious it is? It’s like Covid or AIDS, you know. It’s contagious. When somebody laughs, other people laugh. When you are in a group and somebody laughs really deeply, even without knowing why, you feel like laughing also.
The contagion of laughter.
I saw on the Internet one man going into the subway, full of people, and he started laughing noisily. And people looked. They all thought, “Why is he laughing?” And he laughed more and more, for no reason. And people looked. At the beginning, you could see in the eyes of the people, “Why is he laughing?” People were feeling almost disturbed. He should be serious like everybody. And slowly, people looked, and they could not stop laughing also. And then the next person, and the next person. Finally, in all the wagon, everybody was laughing for no reason.
You can do the same every day of your life. Be the one who triggers laughter in others.
But we have this programming, I call it this infection, of looking serious. “I must look serious.” Why? Nobody asks you to look serious. So, spreading love, that’s what we do as Raelians, spreading love is spreading laughter. When people are laughing, they don’t want to kill other people. When you are happy, you don’t want to kill other people.
Just a little reminder. You know what is happening in Iran? War between Iran, Israel, and America.
Ok, we can say it’s for petrol, for oil, it’s for terrorism, it’s for money. The truth is much deeper and connected to us. There are many fanatic religious people in Israel, and they think that by creating a lot of war, it will make the Messiah appear. They sincerely think that by being hated by all the countries, all the countries will attack Israel, and that’s what they want. By killing people in Gaza, everywhere, they want the whole world to attack Israel.
And it’s happening. And in America, you have fundamentalist Christian people, fanatic Christians. They believe that Jesus will come back. And they believe that by creating the conditions for a war which will destroy Israel, Jesus will come back. That’s what we do, not with war but with an embassy. No need for war. But it’s so funny to see that the military people of America and Israel think that by killing millions of people, Jesus and the Messiah will come.
I am here.
No need to kill each other. Make an embassy. The Messiah is here. Jesus is alive. I met him, and he is coming. No need for war. That’s such a funny planet. And it’s happening now. When you see the news and all the violence in Iran, feel it, you are part of it. Thousands of people pray for the return of Jesus and the coming of the Messiah. They pray so much, and they believe that by killing other people, it will happen.
And where is the Messiah? I am here with you. And one day I am going to go to the embassy in Palestine. No need for war. That’s funny like the crab, it’s such a funny humanity. So many people suffering, dying for nothing. They should just read the Message, build the embassy, and peace would come to Earth. So, you are part of it. Feel it!
Every day, every time you watch the news and the bombs falling on Iran and Palestine, you are directly connected to it. And you are here to inform: no need to fight. The Messiah is here. I can introduce you to him. That’s your mission.
Thank you.
