The word \u201cangel\u201d comes from the Greek \u00e1nghelos, which means \u201cmessenger.\u201d You are all messengers of love\u2014messengers of the Elohim. Not only me. I gave you that terrible mission. For me, it\u2019s easy. But for you\u2014it was a choice. Nobody chose you. One day, you stood up and said: \u201cI will be a messenger of the Elohim!\u201dAnd you must feel that wonderful emotion every time you give a pamphlet, every time you sit in the street to meditate one minute for peace, every time you pronounce the word \u201cElohim.\u201d<\/p>\n
The best prayer is simply to say \u201cElohim.\u201d Because they are watching you, and they are proud of you when you are yourselves.<\/p>\n
People may look at you and think you\u2019ve been brainwashed into a strange cult. But they are the ones who have been brainwashed. You chose to be you! That\u2019s not easy, because all of society tries to make you someone you\u2019re not. From the moment you start school, they tell you: \u201cYou have to be like this, sing like that, dress like that.\u201d They mold you into something you are not. Then, one day, you go through a process and say: \u201cI will be myself!\u201d If you are lucky enough to find a good teacher, a good guru, he will try to help you become who you truly are. I\u2019ve been doing that for fifty years\u2014I try.<\/p>\n
Some people think Maitreya changes people, turning them into zombies. But it\u2019s society that makes you zombies. The TV makes you zombies. Politicians make you zombies. Go to any big city and you\u2019ll see people walking the same way, wearing the same clothes, carrying the same little attach\u00e9 cases, chasing the same goal\u2014making money. And when they have the money, they buy a house that looks exactly like everyone else\u2019s.<\/p>\n
In Japan\u2014and in Okinawa too\u2014there are many buildings where all the apartments are identical. Everyone says: \u201cThis is my apartment.\u201d I call these buildings \u201crabbit houses\u201d because they look like the cages I once used to raise rabbits. Some people enjoy camping for vacations. They feel good there. So they have a vertical rabbit cage for their daily life\u2014their apartment\u2014and a horizontal rabbit cage when camping. Then they reach seventy, retire, and go to the cemetery asking: \u201cIs there life after death?\u201d<\/p>\n
And I ask them: \u201cDid you have a life before death?\u201d<\/p>\n
You have a life when you are yourself. My goal has always been to help you be you.<\/p>\n
Eight years ago, this beautiful woman came here [referring to his partner]. She entered my house, and the first thing I told her was: \u201cBe you! If you want to make me happy, be you!\u201d<\/p>\n
The more you are yourselves, the prouder I am of myself. I am a gardener, and for me, you are all flowers. In a garden\u2014which I love\u2014you find hibiscus, orchids, violets. They are all beautiful, but so different. You cannot ask a violet to become an orchid. They are themselves. I wish the same for you.<\/p>\n
When I look at the Raelians, you are my garden. Be you. Shine your light. Some of you are little violets, some are beautiful orchids. Which flower are you? Find out\u2014and grow into the best version of yourself.<\/p>\n
So in the morning, you can look in the mirror and be in love with yourself: \u201cI am a beautiful flower, created by the Elohim.\u201d They are the first gardeners, and they want to see you shine.<\/p>\n
Why do so few people go to the eternal life planet? Because to go there, you must be you\u2014shining, dancing like Shizue, singing like Lotus. Even if you don\u2019t have the same voice, sing your song, not Lotus\u2019s song.<\/p>\n
You each have a song: Tadao\u2019s song is Tadao\u2019s song; Viva\u2019s song is Viva\u2019s song. You know his song, right? \u201cViva la vie\u201d [referring to Maitreya\u2019s song]. Sing your own song. Don\u2019t imitate others. Don\u2019t conform.<\/p>\n
Be you! And when I see you being you, that is the best gift you can give me. Always think and repeat: \u201cThank you, Elohim, for making me who I am!\u201d<\/p>\n
Thank you, Elohim!<\/p>\n
I wish you a beautiful infinity\u2014not just a beautiful day, because a day is too short. I wish you a beautiful eternity\u2026 plus ten years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
