This morning, I feel the Elohim more than ever. They are watching everything happening on Earth, full of hope. Raelians and the Elohim – we are the same, yet different from the majority of people. There are yin and yang, good and evil, and human beings always seem to find reasons to forget the Elohim.
At the beginning, people devoted their lives to the Elohim. Moses brought wonderful messages, but the people created a golden calf, making an idol. A real idol is treated as a god, but it is always made of something: wood, stone, or gold. What’s more valuable, an idol made of stone or one made of gold? It’s the same. They are the same, they are worthless, nothing!
And the message of the Elohim is very clear: do not worship idols made of stone or gold, because you have only one creator – only one, but plural: the Elohim. Why would you take a piece of stone and suddenly pray in front of it? You must give thanks every day for your life – to the Elohim, not to a piece of stone. The stone was not beautiful, so they made it of gold. They made a golden calf and prayed to it every day.
“Elohim? Who are the Elohim?” they asked, even though the command was very clear: Do not bow before idols! And Moses had to fight hard against them. He smashed the golden calf and cried out: Read the message of the Elohim – no idols! Be thankful only to the Elohim!
Can you imagine? You come to Earth, create life, and hope people will be thankful. Instead, they make a golden calf and bow to it every day. Is it possible to be more stupid? And they believed: “This is God!” – a golden calf, a baby cow made of gold. But it’s a beautiful symbol, because it shows that human beings easily turn gold into a god.
Gold! Isn’t it still God today? The whole world chases gold; even the words gold and god sound almost the same.
Thousands of years later, Jesus came – my beloved brother. He went to the Temple of Jerusalem, which was built only for loving the Elohim, it was its only purpose. And what did he find? People selling gold. The temple had become a market! There were tables everywhere, and almost no space left to pray to the Elohim. On every table, people were trading gold for a picture of God.
We all know the story. Jesus taught: Love your neighbor, love and love. If someone strikes your left cheek, offer your right cheek. Beautiful teaching. But when he saw gold replacing the Elohim, he became furious. Jesus was angry! He overturned the tables so violently that all the merchants fled in panic, afraid he might strike them.
You must remove the false image of prophets as always calm and non-violent. Yes, they are absolutely non-violent, but when the Elohim are disrespected, action is needed. That’s why Jesus drove the merchants out of the temple. That’s a very interesting image. Priests don’t like to mention that story because it doesn’t fit the gentle narrative: non-violent, love your neighbor. But it is true – he destroyed the tables and threw the coins of gold onto the ground!
And what is the supreme power on Earth now? Gold! The world is ruled by banks. Banks created by a Jewish man, Rothschild, who was supposed to love the Elohim. He created the world banking system. Today, no country is ruled by its government; they are ruled by the banks, who hold politicians by the “balls.”
Only two countries expelled Rothschild’s banks: Russia – Putin said “Out!” – and China. They declared: “Banks will not rule us. This country belongs to the people. Nobody will make us slaves.” Because in so-called democratic countries, people are slaves without realizing it.
What is a credit card? Nothing but the chain slaves once wore. In the past, slaves had chains to show they belonged to a master. Today, your credit card does the same. You think you own your car or your house? No. They belong to the bank. Stop working, stop paying, and the bank takes everything. Gold rules the world.
Why is there war in Ukraine? Gold. Why was there war in Iraq? Gold. Sometimes a leader tries to change the rules, like Muammar Gaddafi, who wanted to create a people’s bank. The bankers didn’t want that, so they killed him.
And now, there is a fantastic leader in Africa, in Burkina Faso, doing the same. Of course, he risks his life every day, with so many trying to kill him. Recently, I nominated him as an Honorary Guide of Humanity. He promotes the United States of Africa. I said that fifty years ago. He promotes a single African currency, the Afro. I said that more than thirty years ago. He is putting into practice everything I have been teaching the world for more than 30 years.
France owns more than fifty tons of gold. Where does it come from? There are no gold mines in France. That gold comes from Africa, mainly Burkina Faso. It’s so unfair. Once again, like in the time of Moses, like in the time of Jesus, the world bows before a false god: gold.
And Maitreya comes, just in time! Just as Jesus drove the merchants from the temple, I push away everything and everyone standing between humanity and the Elohim. I bring you back to the Elohim. Because all the gold in the world – you will not take even one gram with you when you die. You cannot bring your luxury house, your car, your fortune to the Elohim’s planet. Nothing. What you do bring is the love you gave. And that is beautiful.
So today, like every Sunday, we gather to love the Elohim, to remember who they are and who we are. We come from dust and return to dust, but the Elohim offer us eternal life. On their planet, there is no gold. Nothing! And yet everyone is happy. Everyone has a place to sleep. Everyone has food. Nobody works – only being.
That is why I always tell you: Be! If you cannot simply be, then eternal life becomes a punishment. Imagine being depressed forever. The Elohim are not sadists; they offer eternal life only to those who are happy. We are the only religion in the world that makes happiness a duty. Not “you can,” but you must be happy. From the moment you wake up: Wow! Be happy for nothing. And that brings us to meditation. What is meditation? Nothing. Nothingness. Like when people go to a Zen monastery and ask the master: “Teach me meditation.” The master answers: “Sit down.” One-hour passes. “And now?” – “Sit down.”
When I was a child, teachers and family would tell me: “You’re good for nothing.” They were totally right. I think I am the best in the world at nothing! It sounds easy, but it’s very difficult. Great teachers taught lessons, but I would look outside, watching birds in the trees. My teacher scolded me: “Why don’t you listen?” And I replied: “I learn more from the birds.” He was furious, telling my mother: “He’s good for nothing.” Yes! And I still am. That’s the common thread among prophets: Buddha was good at nothing too. And the only important thing is nothing. When you are good at nothing, then you are ready for eternal life.
When you arrive on the Elohim’s planet – and I know you all deserve it – it’s like going to the Zen monastery. You will arrive and say: “I am alive! What now?” And if an Eloha welcomes you, he will say: “Sit down.” That is eternal life.
Many people work hard their entire lives, and at sixty-five, retire. Suddenly they feel useless and depressed. In America, half of retirees take antidepressants. They have nothing to do, and nothing inside. In that state, nothingness is a punishment. But with spiritual life, nothingness is pleasure.
Practice with animals. You don’t need words with your cat. You look, you feel, and you can spend hours looking at your cat. Then the level of communication with infinity is huge. Animals are teachers. Love them – they show us the way.
I love my cat. He once came to a meeting. He stretches, yawns, sleeps sixteen hours a day. Sixteen hours! People think animals are lazy, but they live beautifully – no banks, no golden idols.
So, practice being good at nothing. Because when you die, if you are lost in activity, you will be lost. But if you are good at nothing, you will continue into eternity.
That is why I call the Happiness Academy a preparation center for eternity. How do you prepare for eternal life? By practicing nothing. When you think nothing, when you do nothing, you are ready. Then any idea of war, domination, and exploitation disappear.
So please – practice.
