We are living in the most dangerous time in the history of humanity, and we have to be very careful about our happiness.<\/p>\n
Because in every media: TV, internet, everywhere, there is poison. Every day, people immediately open their phones, and what do they see? What do you see? War, war, war. That\u2019s not for us. We are for spiritual happiness. So, do we have to dig deeper into war, violence, and negativity? Absolutely not. The more there is violence and war in the world, the more the Raelians must be happy. Look for good news. There are many, but we have to select.<\/p>\n
If you feel depressed or sad, it\u2019s your fault. It\u2019s because you look at news about war, bombs, children suffering. That\u2019s your fault. I also check the internet in the morning, but I go through it very quickly, very quickly! And sometimes one good piece of news appears, and that one I read completely. Yesterday, I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s true or not, it\u2019s not important, they explained that scientists created artificial eyes and implanted them in a blind man, and he can see. Many people didn\u2019t see this news. But Iran, Russia, every negative news, they remember everything.<\/p>\n
Why? Why put this poison in your head?<\/p>\n
Elohim look at you. To prepare yourself to welcome the Elohim, you need happiness, not fear, not anxiety. Every day, welcome the Elohim in your heart. We must not think about the Elohim while feeling sad about what is happening on Earth. Every day there is good news, but we don\u2019t see it. We so quickly look at war, violence, children crying and it\u2019s a kind of sadistic destruction of yourself. If you focus on good news, your day will be much happier.<\/p>\n
And you may say, \u201cOh, but there is no good news, only bad news, only war, only suffering.\u201d That\u2019s not true. There may be twenty bad pieces of news and one good one. I don\u2019t know about the twenty bad ones. I see a photo of a tank, I don\u2019t read. I see a child without arms, I don\u2019t read. But scientific news about artificial eyes, that one I read completely, three times.<\/p>\n
So, you are responsible for your level of happiness.<\/p>\n
What you see, what you hear, what you read, everything is shaping your brain. And you don\u2019t give any space to your heart. Your heart becomes very sad when there are war and violence. But the brain becomes curious: \u201cWhat happened to this poor little boy without arms? Who did this terrible thing?\u201d And you want to read more, to see more, even pictures of blood. That\u2019s what normal people do, not Raelians. You turn the page, next, next. Anything negative or violent, you don\u2019t look at it at all. And you create a happy brain.<\/p>\n
Some people are surprised and ask: \u201cWith everything happening in the world, how can you organize Happiness Academies?\u201d These people would like us to create sadness academies, where everybody gathers to complain about war, children dying, and more, and then they wonder why they are sad.<\/p>\n
When they open their eyes in the morning, are they looking at the flowers, the sky, the clouds, we look at the clouds and try to see new animals. Do you do it? Do it! It\u2019s fantastic. This morning, I also looked at the floor of my bathroom. It\u2019s beautiful marble, with natural patterns, like drawings, like designs. Every time I sit on the toilet, I try to find new animals. Fifteen years here, and I still find new ones every day. So beautiful.<\/p>\n
Beauty is everywhere. If you focus on beauty, you become beautiful.<\/p>\n
Instead of complaining, take a simple example: it\u2019s raining. Negative or positive? It\u2019s a small detail, but very important. \u201cOh, it\u2019s raining\u2026sad\u201d Or: \u201cWow, it\u2019s raining! The garden will be more beautiful. The trees are happy, they have water.\u201d It\u2019s not a joke. You really have to focus on that. Snails can only come out when it\u2019s raining because they have no legs. They move on their belly and need the ground to be wet. Every morning when it rains, I think: \u201cOh, the snails must be so happy.\u201d I love snails. For me, they represent preconsciousness; slowly coming out, slowly moving. They have, I don\u2019t remember exactly, about forty teeth, snails! to eat grass. No steak, just grass. It\u2019s beautiful. The snail is one of my favorite animals.<\/p>\n
And also, among animals, they have one of the longest mating times. Since I was a child, I have observed that. It\u2019s fascinating. What is fantastic is that part of its life, a snail can be male and for another part, it can be female. When they are male, they produce male hormones and when they are female, they produce female hormones. When they meet, they check and they will play their part male or female based on the situation and that could be different a month later.<\/p>\n
What a wonderful example for human beings. To be open. To be yourself. In a constantly changing state.<\/p>\n
At one time in your life you may be attracted to women, at another time to men. This is being open-minded. But if you are closed-minded, you don\u2019t want to see that. So, snails are a great lesson. And they come out only when it rains. So, rejoice, enjoy the rain. Like Bob Marley said: you can get wet in the rain, or you can dance. \u201cOh no, rain, I will get wet, panic!\u201d Or: \u201cWow, let\u2019s dance in the rain.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whatever happens, you can choose the positive or the negative. And when you choose the negative, you damage your brain. Even worse, you damage your heart. Everything in life can create positive or negative emotions. What do you choose? You choose. Like the song: \u201cI choose love.\u201d I love this song. Choose love. Love is not crying. Love is being happy and being happy about the happiness of others. The beautiful word is compassion. Maitreya is said to be the Buddha of compassion.<\/p>\n
What is compassion?<\/p>\n
For many people, compassion means crying with those who are sad. These false friends are not bad people; they are just conditioned in a negative way. They come to you when you are crying and say, \u201cOh poor you\u2026 what happened? Your boyfriend left you?\u201d They dig into the negativity. True compassion is laughing with people who cry. If you cry together, everyone cries. But if you laugh\u2026<\/p>\n
I remember an old woman in Los Angeles, sitting on a bench in a public park. A man next to her was crying deeply. She looked at him and said: \u201cThere are thousands of women!\u201d It was clear he was crying for one woman. \u201cThere are thousands of women! You can cry for one, or smile to the thousands.\u201d Your choice. Better enjoy life.<\/p>\n
I wrote a song about \u201cpetit bonheur\u201d, little happiness. Big happiness is not interesting. \u201cI\u2019ll make one million dollars, then I\u2019ll be happy.\u201d Never. \u201cI\u2019ll have a new partner, then I\u2019ll be happy.\u201d Never. But looking at a snail, that\u2019s little happiness. You see the snail smiling, forty teeth, you can see the smile, and this is a little happiness. You wake up\u2026 alive. This is my little happiness time.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m surprised every morning, wow! Still alive. But you have to focus on it. If you wake up and think, \u201cOkay, just another morning like every other morning,\u201d it\u2019s not interesting. Wow, I\u2019m alive. I can go and dance in the rain. I can play with the snail. This little happiness, that\u2019s what creates happiness. The petit bonheur.
\nIf you focus only on big happiness, you may never have any.<\/p>\n
So, every day, count how many little happinesses you have. Big happiness, maybe one every year. Little happiness, you can have hundreds every day. Looking at a flower in the garden, feeling the rain on my head, every moment is happiness. I don\u2019t want just one happiness; I want hundreds every day. You can have it; you just have to find it. Every day, you have hundreds of little happinesses: winning at p\u00e9tanque, eating something good, a good sushi, a good glass of sake, little happinesses.<\/p>\n
But pay attention, because you have hundreds of happinesses every day. Better to feel that than to watch the war in Iran. Your choice. Same eyes, same brain, same heart\u2014 Iran\u2026 or the snail? Children dying of starvation\u2026 or the rain falling on my head? So, it\u2019s your choice. And every time, there is a little happiness. And there are constantly new happinesses.<\/p>\n
Say it, say it: \u201cThank you, Elohim.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Elohim gave us this power, to be happy just from the sun or the rain. And if you raise your level of supraconsciousness, you are no happier when it\u2019s sunny than when it\u2019s raining. \u201cOh, beautiful sunny day, wonderful!\u201d Same energy: \u201cOh, it\u2019s raining!\u201d Do it, because it is. Whatever happens, war, earthquake, tsunami, typhoon\u2026 (long time without a typhoon, I start to miss it!). Have this positive attitude, it\u2019s your life. It\u2019s not black or white. It\u2019s not negative or positive. It is.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the teaching of Buddha: witness, witness and then happiness is constantly inside you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
