<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This week, was a very special week. It has been exactly 45 years since I arrived in Japan. 45 years ago, was my first arrival in Japan.<\/p>\n
Forty-five years\u2026 .Thank you, Sky for your meditation. The most important thing you said is witnessing yourself. Becoming a real Raelian is becoming a Buddha. You are all Buddhas. Sometimes you forget it, but it is your goal without being your goal. Because if you want to be a Buddha, you cannot be a Buddha.<\/p>\n
You can become a Buddha if you don\u2019t want it. The same way you cannot meditate if you want to meditate. You are, without thinking that you are. Because if you think that you are, you are not. This detachment, this distance and proximity. Distance from everything, and proximity with everything.<\/p>\n
Especially with the most terrible handicap we have: thinking. Emotion. Emotion comes from thinking. Expectation. If you expect somebody to behave in a certain way and they don\u2019t, then you feel frustration. And frustration generates anger. Sky\u2019s image of the rollercoaster is very good.<\/p>\n
But through this rollercoaster adventure, you learn. You grow. Anytime you have been angry \u2013 it happens to everybody \u2013 after a while you say, \u201cWow! Why did I become angry?\u201d But you don\u2019t answer. You just blame yourself. Which creates guilt. Rollercoaster. \u201cWhy did I do that? Ah! I was so stupid\u2026\u201d You judge yourself.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t judge yourself for your mistakes. From your mistakes, you learn. You need mistakes. Be thankful for your mistakes instead of feeling guilty. \u201cOh! I was so stupid to become angry.\u201d That doesn\u2019t bring you anywhere.<\/p>\n
What witnesses yourself, now and in the past? It\u2019s easier to witness the past. \u201cWhy did I do that?\u201d It\u2019s past. It\u2019s good to learn. The \u201cwhy\u201d is going up, and blaming yourself is going down. Stay up. Don\u2019t enter into blaming or judging yourself for your mistakes. Mistakes are the best part of your personality. They made you what you are today.<\/p>\n
Without mistakes, of course, you can do nothing. Many people are like that \u2013 they stay alone: no friend, no lover \u2013 because they are afraid to make mistakes. No job, alone. But that\u2019s not life. Life is being with others, interacting with others. And when you interact with other people, automatically there are mistakes, because you are not perfect. Nobody can be perfect. But you can witness perfectly your movement in the rollercoaster, without blaming, without judgment.<\/p>\n
And observe people who blame and judge others. Some people are really full of judgment for others. Why? Because they judge themselves. If you stop judging yourself, then you stop judging others. And compassion arises. Compassion is the most important quality. Long ago, in the Buddhist tradition, Maitreya was supposed to be the Buddha of compassion. And I am full of compassion. Whatever mistake you do, you know in advance that I will forgive you. So do it! Do the mistakes, because you are sure to be forgiven.<\/p>\n
And your supraconsciousness naturally doesn\u2019t want to make mistakes. But it happens: misunderstanding, not hearing some words well. Very important, eh? If somebody says something and you understand the opposite, you judge. Life is full of these little problems. And the problems are not important. How you react to them \u2013 that\u2019s important. \u201cOh, this man insulted me, he said this thing, he thinks I am stupid.\u201d My question to this person who is complaining: Are you stupid? \u201cNo, but he says I am stupid.\u201d But are you stupid? \u201cOf course not.\u201d So, you hurt yourself with the words of somebody else.<\/p>\n
Can words from other people hurt you? Never. You can all shout at me, \u201cYou are stupid\u201d \u2013 I don\u2019t care. You can insult me with the worst insult you can imagine; they will never hurt me. Because I know who I am. I love myself. You can all say, \u201cMaitreya, you are stupid,\u201d okay? I know I am a very intelligent person.<\/p>\n
So please say, \u201cYou are stupid, Maitreya,\u201d I don\u2019t care. If you doubt your intelligence, then the words of other people hurt you. The words of other people are like knives \u2013 knives that cannot enter you. But you can take these knives and hurt yourself. No words from anybody around you can hurt you. No words, no attitude, no lack of smile can hurt you.<\/p>\n
But some people are really, \u201cGive me a knife, give me a knife\u2026\u201d immediately. \u201cThis person looked at me in a strange way this morning\u2026 this person didn\u2019t smile at me this morning\u2026\u201d Only you can hurt yourself. If somebody enters with a real knife, of course we run away. But the knives of words or emotions \u2013 they cannot enter. You have to take them and put them inside, and then you suffer a lot. And again, and again, and again\u2026 That, I think, is very Japanese.<\/p>\n
Gomenasai! Gomenasai! Gomenasai! I always slow down people who repeat gomenasai constantly. It\u2019s a sign, of course, of respect and beautiful contact with other people to apologize. But don\u2019t do it too much. You make a mistake \u2013 it\u2019s beautiful to apologize. One time. Because I see many Japanese people: Gomenasai! Gomenasai! Gomenasai! One time. \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d That\u2019s it. And if the other person needs more, it\u2019s their problem. Then they will have to apologize.<\/p>\n
Remember this: nobody can hurt you, only yourself. Because if you hurt yourself with the words of others, you can never become a Buddha. You are using the negative thinking of other people to hurt yourself. But you can enter the state of Buddha when nothing from outside can affect you. Not in negative, and not in positive. Some people say, \u201cI love you.\u201d Is it true? I don\u2019t care. I know you love me. If you say it to me ten times \u2013 good. One time is enough. Or not at all \u2013 just smiling \u2013 because I have no expectation.<\/p>\n
That happens especially in couples. You know, these partners who always ask, \u201cDo you love me?\u201d Sometimes \u2013 I had this experience. I was very young in Paris, with a beautiful girlfriend, but constantly insecure. \u201cDo you love me?\u201d \u201cYes. \u201d \u201cDo you love me? \u201d Ten minutes later: \u201cDo you love me? \u201d And after a few hours, I said, \u201cNo.\u201d Because she searched for it. She was looking for it. Very surprised: \u201cYou told me ten times you love me and now, no? \u201d \u201cBecause you have to learn to love yourself\u201d.<\/p>\n
These people who are insecure \u2013 they don\u2019t love themselves. They expect to feel good because of other people. I don\u2019t expect anybody here to make me feel good. In the beginning of the movement, I organized meetings of guides, and I trained them to insult each other and not react. Because your reaction is your responsibility. If I say, \u201cI hate you,\u201d it must not hurt you, because you know it\u2019s not true.<\/p>\n
No expectation to be loved by the Elohim. Who are you to expect the Elohim to love you? What a lack of humility! \u201cElohim, I love you. Please love me.\u201d No! Love is giving \u2013 no expectation. And the Elohim do not expect you to love them. I repeat: the Elohim do not expect you to love them But if you do, they enjoy it. You don\u2019t make them happy \u2013 because they are happy whatever happens \u2013 but they enjoy. It\u2019s pleasant when somebody says, \u201cI love you.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s so beautiful to be loved if you don\u2019t expect it. If you expect it, it\u2019s never enough. If you don\u2019t expect it, just \u201cI love you\u201d \u2013 you are happy for centuries.<\/p>\n
I love this other joke I saw on the Internet: a man has a girlfriend who is a little like the one I had in Paris, and she asks, \u201cDo you love me?\u201d And the guy says, \u201cI told you yesterday. And as long as I don\u2019t send you a letter or a message saying that\u2019s not good anymore, keep it.\u201d Very interesting. \u201cDo you love me?\u201d \u201cI told you yesterday.\u201d It\u2019s funny, but it\u2019s deep. Do we need to hear it every day? No. You don\u2019t say every time you meet me that you love me. But I know you love me, and I appreciate it. Even if you don\u2019t say it, I see it in your eyes.<\/p>\n
And with the Elohim, it\u2019s the same. We love the Elohim. We can say, \u201cElohim, I love you,\u201d but we don\u2019t expect anything in return. That is the beauty of real love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
