His Holiness
Prophet Raël
 Africa, future of humanity
"Africa is important in the eyes of our Creators,
for it is the future if it can escape from
the old mysticisms, a handicap which led it
to be subdued by the other continents."

FOR A REAL DECOLONIZATION OF AFRICA

is the monstrous European colonization ?

not… When the decolonization

all the groups of people who were
arbitrarily gathered by the coloniz-
ing forces. A myriad of independ-

have been created. The Hutus and

would not have the current wars.

these small African states the pos-
sibility of creating a federation sim-
ilar to that of the United States of
America or the ongoing one of
Europe. It is not too late to take
over the problem by destroying the
states and the frontiers created by
colonial powers.
A true decolonization consists,
in fact, in putting Africa back to
the state in which it was before
it was polluted politically by col-
onization.
Certainly there were some tribal
conflicts, but each one had his own
territory and nobody was
trying to exterminate his neigh-
bour.
Imagine that scientific progress
had gone faster in Africa than in
Europe and the latter had been
colonized by Africans one or two
centuries ago. We would have had
an artificial European state creat-
ed to manage the conquered terri-
tories. Then, a decolonization
revolt would have sent the coloniz-
ers back home. Can one imagine
that the colonized Europeans
would have accepted keeping the
boundaries and the system set up
by the invaders? Of course not.
The French or the Italians would
never accept being governed by
the largest ethnic group, the
Germans or the Russians, if they
were also part of the colonized
groups. Ethnic fights would have
devastated the decolonized
Europe, just as they ravage Africa
today. No, the only solution, if we
really and sincerely want the well
being of African populations, is to
destroy all traces of colonialism,
starting with the arbitrary borders
which rely on no reality, be it
cultural, ethnic, religious, or
geopolitical. Lines drawn on maps
by totally unconscious colonial civil
servants that's what African
borders are. If Africans want to get
rid of their problems, they have to
carry on a real decolonization of
their continent; and this real deco-
lonization goes along with the
destruction of artificial states
created by the exploiting coloni-
zers, as well as all the centralist
systems put in place. The old colo-
nial powers are doing nothing to
really help Africans, for they are
too content to keep on looting the
natural resources of this immense
continent, using local conflicts to
mask their political and economic
cheatings. In artificial states that
live on ethnic conflicts, it is so easy
to use corruption to keep on bene-
fitting from the natural resources of
officially "decolonized" countries.
If each ethnic group could truly get
back the power of the natural
resources of its territory, it would
be much more difficult for the
European looters to manipulate
prices and production through
powerful multinational firms. It
must be taken into account that
each conflict, even those officially
"condemned" or "deplored," allows
the European arms builders to
make juicy profits. Finally, the
recent military interventions, par-
ticularly those of the French, are
the proof that the independence
given to the decolonized countries
is totally relative. As soon as an
African head of state wishes to
establish a privileged relationship
with Libya, China or any other
state the old colonial power
dislikes, the French come in and
put the country "back in line."
They depose the
government, democratically elected,
and replace it with personalities
more "sympathetic" to the old col-
onizing powers. The most reserved
heads of state can't stay insensi-
tive for long to the deposits made
in banks in Switzerland (it is inter-
esting to notice that almost all
African leaders have bank
accounts in Switzerland despite
the exchange control barrier set to
impeach the outflow of the meager
African capital resources. How are
these accounts supplied?). The
crowning of emperor Bokassa 1st,
which was financed by France, is
the most striking example of the
decolonization mascarade.
Africans must wake up and
destroy the boundaries and states
they have not chosen. The UN
could supervise the creation of
new states, the borders of which
would be the natural and ancestral
limits of ethnic groups or popula-
tions as they existed before colo-
nization, and organize a federation
of the different countries so creat-
ed. The natural resources of Africa
would therefore benefit the local

3
populations, not the multinational
firms eager to make profits. So,
each ethnic group or nation could
find its roots, its traditions, and its
language. A second federal lan-
guage could be adopted to allow
all the inhabitants of the Great
African Continent to communicate
with one another.
It would be preferable that this fed-
eral language not be the one of the
old colonizing country.
Former French colonies should
adopt English as their second lan-
guage, for it is more and more
becoming the dominant world lan-
guage.
After linguistic decolonisation,
it would be desirable to undertake
religious decolonization.
Traditional African religions should
be taught again to the populations
and in schools as part of the
cultural inheritance of Africans.
This way, a "de-Christianization"
would take place progressively.
One should not forget that
Christianity has been used as an
instrument to better subdue the
conquered people, attempting to
get them lose their identity. Finally,
it is time for Africans to be aware of
the fact that under the cover of
"cooperation," the "cooperants"
and other "advisors" (the former
colonizing countries put "gently" at
the service of African countries)
are, in fact, agents in charge of
maintaining control, so that inde-
pendence remains simply a word,
and does not come to be a fact.
Why do Africans accept French
troops to be positioned in almost
all African countries? They are
there to so-called "protect the
Africans," but in fact they quickly
intervene as soon as the powers in
place have a sentiment of real
independence, deposing them and
replacing them with more "sub-
dued" leaders. What a scandal!
Yes it is truly time that Africans
finally get true independence, and
put an end to the shame.
Africans, take your destiny in
your hands by rejecting alto-
gether the structures that have
been imposed onto you by
force, be they political, religious
or cultural.
Your immense continent is rich,
and the new technologies, like
computer science and the internet,
set you free from the need of colo-
nizers in order to learn. Millions of
young Ivorians, Congolese, or oth-
ers can receive knowledge directly
from the greatest universities of
the world. This is why getting away
from France and getting closer to
the USA would be beneficial to the
development of Africa.
What can non-African Raelians do
to help Africa? Above all, do not
help the begging which has been
organized and raised into institu-
tions by governments who want to
maintain, through this process, the
power they have over Africa. "The
more I help you the more you
depend on me" -- this is their
motto.
What happens in rich countries?
Millions are spent to organize
campaigns to help the "third
world," and more millions are
spent to ask the French to buy
French, or the Canadians to by
Canadian… What hypocrisy. "Let's
keep the third world in dependen-
cy and begging, and let us enrich
ourselves by buying national…" As
to the enterprises that invest by
building factories in "third world"
countries, they are pointed out as
exploiters of a low-paid workforce.
Yet these enterprises are "doing
the right thing," even though they
do it more for profit than for
humanitarian altruism. They
unconsciously contribute to a
reequilibrium movement of wealth.
The third world needs not
begging, but development.
The best way to help the poor man
is not to give him a fish, but rather
to teach him how to fish… and give
him a fishing pole. Enterprises
should be encouraged to move
their production factories to "third
world" countries. European con-
sumers would be better off
because the products brought to
their markets would be cheaper,
4
and the "third world" would devel-
op as one can see happening in
the Philippines or in Thailand. We
Raelians can contribute to this
great movement of wealth reequi-
librium.
I wish that all the Raelians
of rich countries undertake
campaigns with T-shirts, stickers,
conferences, etc., around the
theme: "Buy Third World."
Instead of contributing to fund rais-
ing to help the "third world," we will
help it more by motivating our con-
temporary fellows to buy what is
produced in the "third world,"
rather than buying our national
products. Will this create a bit more
unemployment in our countries?
Yes, and so what…? This is what
true charity and true solidarity are
all about: to accept that a few more
people live less wealthy so that
others in less favored countries
can escape death from hunger.
What is the suffering of an unem-
ployed person, forced to reduce
his expenses so he can survive
from his unemployment allowance,
when compared to the suffering of
an African family that wakes up not
knowing what it will eat today and
tomorrow… and the following
days…? To buy French or
Canadian is to save jobs, to buy
"third world" is to save lives…
The choice is quickly made when
one is aware of the problem.
The year 2000 of the Christian era
is here, in less than three years.
Let us make it together, so that
Africa and the "third world" of the
third millennium will be different
from those of this end of the 20th
century, and so that when the
Elohim come, they feel proud of
their children of all races and of all
continents.
Raël
 For a new Africa

Wake up, Africa!

The end of self-colonisation*
The extraordinary revolution which is taking place in Eastern Europe is softly but
surely drawing African populations in its wake, for the governments and media in
the so-called "democratic" countries have been closing their eyes and mouths for
too long about the lack of freedom in so-called "united" Africa. The single political
party, exactly like the former countries of the East, is still governing most African
states, thus forbidding any real plurality and opposition.

nd now we see dictator-leaders, when repro- ted carpets, marble, gold, and so on… Moreover,

A ached with this, claiming without laughing

that their country is not ready for, or is too
young to experiment with multi-partisan politics --
yet that is democracy!
That is exactly what colonizing nations used to say
when they were reigning over "indigenous" popu-
lations, to whom they denied the right to vote…
Now we hear the same words from leaders of
tribes or predominating ethnic groups, who found
themselves propelled to the head of these new
States, driven by their infatuation for independ-
ence…
And this does not only affect political freedom, but
all kinds of freedom, for cancer is nearly always
sure to spread if it is not treated. Take, for instance,
religious freedom. Some Raelian Africans, namely
in the Congo and Burkina Faso, get arbitrarily
arrested and roughly interrogated, which means
that they are denied one of mankind's most impor-
tant rights.
I take this opportunity to ask Raelians from all over
the world to write to the President of the Republics
of both those States to protest forcefully and insist
on the fact that they will encourage a boycott cam-
paign on tourism towards those countries and on
purchasing goods from those places for as long as
the Raelian Movement is not officially allowed and
respected as it should be (I rely on you for that).
But the economic field is where the problem
becomes totally revolting. The President of Côte
d'Ivoire has just inaugurated an exact copy, though
bigger, of St. Peter Basilica in Rome, in the middle
of the bush! The cost is sixty billion francs (ten bil-
lion dollars US). With air-conditioning, the biggest
stained-glass windows in the world, the thickest fit-
the building is standing in the middle of a formal
garden "à la française" of several acres, enclosed
in gold-plated fence…
Hut-villages with no water, no electricity, no drain-
pipes, are scattered all around; deprived families
are crowding in there, tormented by those parasitic
diseases that undermine the African people.
And whenever one dares to reproach the (lifetime)
President for that, he forcefully protests and says
that he paid for it all with his own money… Then he
adds that if he had bought a Mirage (a French
bomber), nobody would have found fault with it…
now he's giving himself away! Would he have
bought a Mirage with his own money? At a cost of
60 billion francs!!!
Either Mr. Houphouët Boigny's personal fortune
was tremendous before he became President
(which would be public knowledge), or the salary
of the President of the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire is
much higher than the President of the United
States of America's, plus all the heads of States in
the whole world…
Let's be serious… A piece of information released
by an official of the Bank of France will give you an
idea of where so much money comes from: the
sums paid into Bank of France accounts by African
leaders amount to about 80% of the subsidies or
grants given to the African States in order to help
them fight against starvation, poverty, or under-
development… you got it all!
The person in charge of the Bank of France added
that the rest must have been paid into Swiss
accounts, or in Luxemburg or elsewhere… Which
means in plain language that most of the financial

5
help granted to "developing" countries is embez-
zled for the personal benefit of its leaders…
Then they can always try to make up for their guilty
conscience by building an air-conditioned Basilica
in the middle of the bush… with their "personal"
money… Some others will say people don't live by
bread alone… (easy to say with a full stomach).
But as far as Africa is concerned… please send
the bread first, we'll see about the rest later!
Oh, I almost forget! The Pope offered to come offi-
cially and inaugurate the "Saint Houphouët
Boigny" Basilica, driven as he is by a beautiful
impulse of generosity, assistance and kindness
towards the "third world." It should also be stated
the the Basilica will be cared for by the life-time
President, and that he has donated the land where
the building was erected to the Vatican, thus copy-
ing the agreements between the Italian govern-
ment and the "holy see" when it was created. (Is
that a donation of his own money? Then the whole
of Côte d'Ivoire territory would be the lifetime
President's property… I got it all, now!).
Of course, nobody knows exactly how much Mr.
Houphouët Boigny paid to the Vatican (of his "own
money," of course) in order to "incite" the Pope to
come and inaugurate the building… There are
some travelling expenses for sure: private Boeing,
popemobile, and so on.
In fact, the subsidies to the "third word" are thus
directly repaid to the Vatican, which saves the
starving Africans the trouble of giving money for
collections in churches, thus sparing considerable
energy. They don't even need to raise their hands
to put the money into the basket. As they are
underfed, the slightest movement becomes an
effort, and one can only encourage whatever tends
to conserve their strength…They may even not go
to church anymore…Which is what they have
already started to do. This is the biggest problem…
There are more and more demonstrations in the
streets of Abidjan, as well as in all the African cap-
itals… Africa is waking up! At last! The ideologies
that used to find fertile soil can no longer delude
the people of that huge under-developing conti-
nent with illusions by keeping them apart from real
information.
The Marxist illusion is collapsing everywhere, and
nobody can promote a dismantled pattern any-
more to fight a dead enemy. Everything is giving
way. And the African people can at last look their
true enemies in the face: that is, their own govern-
ments!
They have been colonized without knowing it by
their own political authorities!
A single party, a lifetime President, limousines and
luxurious lives for too many leaders, corruption,
6
with customs-officers ransoming and racketting
travellers over and over again, unpunished, on the
roads of their own country… all this becomes
obvious to younger generations who were allowed
to study. Therein lies the mistake! Once knowledge
has been given, it is difficult to keep those who
have acquired this knowledge from using it…
In the old times of foreign colonization, the goods
and the wealth were sent abroad to make foreign
nations richer. Now the goods and the wealth are
sent abroad to inflate African leaders and the bank
accounts of "civil-servants."
…This is called self-colonization.
But all this is over now… They will have to account
for it all… and give the money back… what Swiss
banks have done to block Marcos' or Duvallier's
possessions should be done as well for African
leaders.
We must get ready for it now. There could not be
fairer justice than to give the subsidies back to the
starving people of Africa.
As for the Basilica… it could become a laic
University! A marvellous way of using up the left-
overs… and offering to the African youth what they
need most: knowledge.
Imagine that cathedral filled with computers direct-
ly connected to European data-banks… this would
be real help to the "third world."
Moving the under-developed directly from goat-
flocks to mega-octets…
Wake up, Africa take your destiny in your own
hands and overthrow the last colonizers, who are
more than colonizers, since, as well as being your
own children, they are also betraying you.
Peace, love and brotherhood.

 For a new Africa
Africans, have no complex !...
Find again your roots
and your culture !
Speech of His Holiness Rael, given on december 13th , 56 a.H (2001), in Brazzaville, Congo
(In Apocalypse International N° 125, 2nd quarter 56 a.H (2002), p. 12-13)
Hello everyone,
his is the first time that I am in Africa on
T a December 13... And it is for me a
deep joy, because my Father and I,
we love Africa: This continent is what counts
the most. And do not think that I say this to
please you, thinking that when Rael is in Asia he
says that Asia is what counts the most, and
when he is in Oceania he says that it's
Oceania... No, the continent that is the most
important in the eyes of the Elohim is Africa!
Why? Because you are inhabitants of a con-
tinent that has preserved an extraordinary
purity and you are not handicaped by your
culture like the Occidentals are.
I know that many of you still live with
this sort of inferiority complex because of
the Europeans. Your biggest ennemy, it's not
colonizers, and it's not colonization, whether
political, economical, cultural or religious -- it's
you yourself. Your biggest enemy is you,
whenever you think that you are inferior to
white people. And you all do think so...
I know, but it is false. You are not at all inferi-
or to the whites. In fact, you are a little bit
superior. Think about it! Let these sentences
penetrate you!
You are a little bit superior to the whites. Why?
Because you have the purity they have lost. The
have lost their purity and their innocence
because of their culture and mostly because of
their crimes. Crimes such as slavery, coloniza-
tion, and all what you have suffered from. You
7
have been victims -- they, they have been guilty,
and when one feels guilty, one loses his/her
purity, one loses his/her freshness, and at the
same time one becomes embittered, and more
and more disgusting, lacking in love, and thus,
step by step, the civilisation shrinks and ends up
disappearing.
Africa still has its purity. Africans should be con-
scious of that.
I remember having often heard during my many
travels... "Ah, the whites have invented every-
thing, the whites have discovered everything
and we, poor Africans, we have done nothing."
Don't ever say that! They have had the chance
at certain moments to discover certain things,
but it's not all of them. The majortiy of them, they
are idiots. They have had some geniuses, who
were born by chance in their civilisation.
The majority of whites are incapable of inventing
gunpowder, electricity or genetics. They were
only a few of them who have invented, but all of
them say loudly: "we have invented the plane."
They don't even know what it is. They would not
even know how to build one. But they have the
impression that the discoveries made by certain
geniuses were made by them. Have no depth!
They are stupid and short-sighted. There are a
few brilliant ones. But, these brilliant ones have
never committed crimes against your culture,
against your people, against Africa -- never.
Those who came to Africa were invaders, stupid
colonizers who took advantage of things they
never invented, such as gunpowder or planes,
and they used them to dominate Africa political-
ly and culturally, and to abuse you. So have no
complex!
The message I am bringing... is that you should
train the young people.
Not like what the Occidentals want you to do, by
going through the industrialisation process so
that they can keep an advance on you and con-
tinue to consider you as developing countries.
This is neo-colonisation.
I would like to see all the African children in
every school have access to computers, and
this should be the priority. Access to the
internet should be immediate for all the
populations here, because if you have access
to these means of training, you will not be left
behind, but you will be at the same level as the
other countries.
Genetics also is very important. That's why I
came with Dr. Boisselier, who is in charge of the
human cloning project. I hope that the human
cloning laboratory will be built here.
I came also with my son, Ramuel, who is here -
- he manages a school of computer science in
Paris. I would like to have Africans trained. He
has agreed to help me, to help you have a
school of computer science. You must jump to
be directly at the same level as the other
countries; and maybe, thanks to your talent,
your genius and your freshness you will be
ahead of them. I say that this is entirely
possible!
Have no complex. Never look at a white person
and say: "yes, but they are great and we, we
have nothing." No! You are the ones who are
putting the poison in your heads. You are capa-
ble of being better than them at all levels.
I insist, at all levels. But you must believe in
yourselves!
You must believe in yourself; and to believe
in yourself, you must find your roots and
your culture; and it's for that reason that any
African who respects him or herself has not
the right to remain Christian.
8
What is Christianity? Oh, I do respect
Christians... when they remain in their home...
that is to say, in Rome -- that is to say, in Europe.
But here, you have been converted by force.
Your ancestors have been converted by force.
To be Christain when you are an African is to
betray your ancestors.
Become Raëlians! I will launch a big campaign
of apostasy. I wish that you apostatize from
the Christian religion, because it is the reli-
gion of the colonizers, the slave merchants
who have looted you and continue to do so.
If you abandon the Christian religion, you can
choose to become atheist (it's your right),
or nothing (you are not obliged to become
Raelian), or you may become Muslim (because
this, at least, is not the religion of your coloni-
zers) whatever you like, anything except
Christian. Because to be Christian is to send an
insult to your ancestors who have suffered, who
have been converted by use of the stick and the
gun, and whose children were taken away and
sent to schools. This is what it is to be Christian!
How can one be Christian and African? This has
always surprised me! This is because you say
to yourself that the "whites" are superior...
No, it is false! Stand up! Be proud, be great,
be yourself!
There were, in your past cultures, enormous
local religions, which the colonisers, in their
huge disrespect of your cultures, have called
animist or primitive religions. They were
much more beautiful than Christianity, and
they were directly linked to the ELOHIM. In
your ancient gods, there are the ELOHIM, a
name that was adapted to African terms.
Find them again. Find your roots, while keep-
ing in mind the pride of future sciences,
which will make you not equal, but superior
to your ancient colonisers.
May you all have a nice day!

Speech of Prophet Rael on december 14 th, 56 a.H (2001) in Brazzaville, Congo.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SCIENCE
(...)
Many people in the world are shocked by the
idea of cloning. Yet cloning is so simple: to take
some cells and make them become other chil-
dren is nothing. But soon, very quickly we will
be able to do like the Elohim. We will take a lit-
tle bit of all chemical products contained in a
handful of soil, because, as the Bible says, in a
handful of soil there is all that is needed to cre-
ate a human being: we find all the elements of
the table of Mendeleiv, everything is there, and
that is what is in us; that is what we are made
of, in addition to water.
Take a handful of soil, put it in a con-
tainer with a bit of water, this is almost a man,
some people are no more than that some politi-
cians, for example! But if you add the genetic
code, the spirit, the knowledge, then this
becomes a human being, or a cat or an earth-
worm, but it becomes a living thing.
Soon we will know how to do it very
quickly, and even more people will be shocked
to see that we become capable of going into the
garden to take a handful of soil and create life,
not from manipulating the genetic code from an
ovum or a spermatozoon, or the nucleus of a
cell, but simply with rocks, and we'll see life
appear. That's what the Elobim did when they
came to Earth; It will shock even more all the
conservatives who are already saying today,
when one talks a bit about cloning: "what a hor-
ror! Howcome?! This is dramatic, it is scan-
dalous." Life from a handful of soil, this will be
even worse for them. I see some young children
in the room. It is a must that these young chil-
dren do what they like, develop their love for
science, for knowledge, it is so important
and this knowledge should not be reserved for
a racist elite, that is to say, for the populations
of Northern countries, of Western countries.You
have the same right to it as the others. I spent
9
last night dreaming, thinking of you. And I was
telling myself that, it takes only a few inven-
tors in humanity at the right moment, in the
right place, or at the wrong moment in the
wrong place, to have some populations
develop themselves more than others. It
takes only a little to have that.
The white people believe that they have
invented everything; when one thinks of it,
it is only a little. That's why I was telling you
yesterday to have no complex of inferiority
toward the whites. None. You are capable of
doing, not as well... but better than them.
The whites think for example that, among other
things, they have discovered paper. Paper was
invented by the Chinese long before the whites.
The whites believe they have invented gunpow-
der -- if I may say, it is known that this also
comes from the Chinese. The Italians believe
they have invented spaghetti -- it is known that
this comes from the Chinese as well. Many
things that whites are sure they have invented
come from the Chinese. The wheel, it is not
sure that it comes from the whites. And there
are many things like that which are just illu-
sions.
In fact, one should realize that all that exists has
not been invented, because all that has been
invented existed before elsewhere.
It just took an open eye to see: whether it is the
genetic code, the atom, iron, the wheel, it exist-
ed before it was discovered. Gunpowder and
electricity existed before they were discovered.
It only took people who were good observers
and who wanted to reproduce what was
observed.
This is why I am proud of what I heard recently
about this young 12-year-old boy of Cote
d'Ivoire who has passed his Baccalaureate. He
has been sent to the USA for his higher educa-
tion. I am happy for that, but at the same time I
am not happy. Because this young man is going
to the USA to get the knowledge, and this is not
right. There exists now a new technology called
the internet. You might know -- if not, I'll let you
know that there is now a university in the USA
where you can take all your exams and earn
your diplomas by internet, no more need to
move to go to school. It's one of the biggest
American universities. So what I wish is that all
young Africans have internet access at
home, this way there will be no more need
for school or university. You can have it at
home, and put all the old school concepts into
question. All the children can have computers
at very low prices. People think that it takes
important infrastructures with satellites at the
cost of billions of dollars to bring the internet.
There is no more need for satellites, that's over.
No more need even for telephone cables to
bring the internet signal.
Electricity is necessary, yes. Not all African
regions have electricity... Now, thanks to new
technologies you can also have electricity local-
ly from solar energy. Each house can be
equipped with solar panels, for which the cost is
decreasing more and more. Thus, each house
will generate its own electricity, not for heat, nor
for cooking (these consume too much electrici-
ty), but for the computer.
The Americans have got an extraordinary idea
to substitute for the highly costly satellites. They
use small planes, like the ULM: they are very
small, cheap planes; when improved, they can
fly a bit higher, at an altitude of about then thou-
sand meters, and they have on their bellies the
same equipment as satellites. They fly at almost
a standstill, and so the entire country is covered
by the internet signal. There are three planes of
this type. They cost almost nothing in compari-
son with the cost of a satellite. Countries that
cannot afford a satellite could be equipped with
such planes, and so be immediately equal to
the most advanced states of the planet.
I wish to see this accomplished in your country,
and in all of Africa. It exists, it's not a dream, it's
not the future; this company exists and already
has contracts with another underprivileged
people, the Native Americans. They have just
signed some contracts and have already
bought some planes to receive the internet on
their reservations.
Internet is a priority, and this is another
message I am bringing to your President of
the Republic: educate the youngters by
internet. Because, thanks to the internet,
you can immediately have access to all the
knowledge of the planet with computers
which are not necessarily new -- one needs
not buy Pentium 500's. Used Pentiums, which
the Europeans don't want anymore because
they always want new, are a great value -- like
an "old" Pentium of three years, four years, five
10
years which is worth almost nothing (computers
become quickly obsolete) maybe 20 dollars, or
30 dollars.
I want these computers collected and sent to
Africa. This is more important than giving
food, because it is enabling those who
tomorrow will be capable of being equal to
the others "to learn how to fish." And this
program can be immediate, it can be imple-
mented very quickly.
A four or five-year-old computer allows as much
access as a new one to today's technologies,
and to adjust to those of tomorrow. Knowledge
is updated daily, and there is no need to have a
new computer to have access to this knowl-
edge; that's what is extraordinary.
Of course, with these old computers, it may not
be possible to have color animation; no big
deal! This is not the most important thing. The
luxury of watching movies in color will not cre-
ate the geniuses of tomorrow which the Earth
so desperately needs today.
Keep in mind the objective of sharing the
idea of this necessity with those around
you. Get it spread in schools, get it spread
everywhere in the population.
I know that the sentiment of inferiority is a
deep evil in Africa. As I said yesterday, I will
say it again, and insist on it: your worst
enemy is not the colonizing populations that
have exploited you and continue to exploit
you, it is you yourself.
Every time you believe that you are inferior to
the whites, you become inferior. When you stop
believing it, you no longer become it. This does-
n't mean that you should become aggressive,
or angry. On the contrary, you must forgive
them. Ok, we have been idiots long enough, ill-
organized in the past, but this is over! Today we
are as much capable as you of doing every-
thing, and inventing things you have not invent-
ed. There are inventors among Africans,
there are Mozarts among Africans, there are
Einsteins among Africans, but they have not
had and do not yet have the means
to express it.
You know, if Einstein or Mozart had been raised
by wolves, they would have barked with the
wolves. They would have never composed sym-
phonies, nor contributed to the advancement of
science. This is what should be understood,
and it is the deep reality. If you place infant
geniuses with wolves, they would be like wolf
infants who were discovered in the past in all
regions of the world. They were crawling on four
feet, they were incapable of standing up,
because when one stays on four feet until a cer-
tain age, one can no longer stand up and walk.
They could also not talk, and in a way they
could no longer become human again. Do this
with Mozart, do it with Einstein, and it will be the
same thing despite their genius! Brought up by
wolves, Mozart would never have played piano,
for in order to come up with a melody, he must
have knowledge, and it is only then that he
could express his genius.
This is why it is so important to educate, to have
access to information, access to knowledge in
order to bring out the wonder that the human
genius is capable of.
You have at times - well, not only you, as the
Europeans also make this mistake - the
tendency to admire and to envy the apostles
who lived in direct contact with Jesus: John,
Paul, Peter, etc... They were wonderful and
extraordinary beings, and you pray to them. No,
they were ignorant. They could not read, they
could not write. They were poor fishermen. Go
into the poorest regions of Africa, where there
are fishermen who cannot read nor write; that is
about the level of the apostles of Jesus.
And all the followers of the great Prophets of old
were duds, by lack of science. You must under-
stand that. The simplest person among you
today knows more than all the apostles who
followed Jesus. They were looking at the sky
with the imbecility of that time. Please under-
stand this. Even the greatest apostles, Peter,
Paul and the others -- stars were, for them,
small ligths hooked to the sky; the Earth was
flat, and one would fall down if one went beyond
the border.
Imagine believing all this, one just can't help but
laugh. But you blacks from Congo, you are far
more advanced than all the great white people
who have existed in the past. Please under-
stand this!
At this moment, I talk to you about cloning and
you understand me. I talk about a spermato-
zoon and an ovule and you understand me. But
let's not go back to the epoch of Jesus, let's
stop at the time of the colonists who, thanks to
sticks and guns, came and devastated this
country 200, 150, 100 years ago. Do you think
that they would have understood cloning? Of
course not! You have more knowledge than
those who have colonized your ancestors --
understand this, be conscious of this.
Education and knowledge is what makes a
scientist; and this is why it is so important
to have access to knowledge. You are all
Einsteins, geniuses compared to the big imbe-
ciles who came with guns to colonize your
grandparents. Be conscious of that. If one of
them were to become reincarnated today with
his gun and the uniform of colonizer, you would
tell him: today we are making life in laboratories
using an ovule and a spermatozoon. He would
11
say, "What is that?" And you could sit in front of
his stupefied eyes and explain him for hours...
The colonist could not know one-tenth, one-
hundredth of what you know today. You would
take him for a tour of the country by car, he
would say, "But, what is that?" Of course they
came by boat and had horses as vehicles. You
know much more than they could possibly
know. Have confidence in yourself! You can do
it -- you have in your population professors of
mathmatics, of history, of science, and scien-
tists in laboratories, agronomists, people who
are and who know infinitely more than the pop-
ulations of people who have colonized you in
the past.
HUMILITY THE MOST IMPORTANT
QUALITY
It is science that is important. Likewise, your
poor ancestors were conquered and dominated
by white people, because they had mastered
the use of firearms, which you did not yet know.
Unfortunately, less evolved and disrespectful
populations, such as the colonizers, use the
supremacy brought about by a temporary
advancement, like technology, to dominate oth-
ers. But in evolved, non-violent and peaceful
populations, like some found elsewhere in the
universe, the ELOHIM, for example, it does not
work this way. Yet, the ELOHIM could colonize
us immediately if they wanted to, because their
level of science is infinite; their level of knowl-
edge is unimaginable, even for the greatest
genius the Earth has ever borne, bears or will
bear until far into the future.
Know that the ELOHIM are capable of moving
entire solar systems, yet we can't understand
how this is possible. They can just decide: this
sun, we would rather place it there, we will
move this planet and put it here, or we will go
and create a solar system somewhere. If I say
this to our earth scientists, they would think that
I am crazy, raving. By the way, if 150 years ago
they had been told about the genetic code or
the computer, they would have said the same
thing. It is normal that people are lacking in
imagination -- that they are lacking in science.
"Any man is an idiot by lack of science" -- this
was already written in the ancient religious
scriptures.
So you should clearly understand that the
higher one raises his level of science, the
higher one must, in parallel, raise his level
of consciousness -- this explains why the
ELOHIM are not colonizers. They could, in just
one finger snap, totally subdue all of the earth's
population -- the largest atomic bombs, the
biggest American strategic armaments would
be nothing compared to their technology. The
Americans would not even have time to fire the
bombs, the planes would not even have time to
take off -- everything would be paralyzed before
any action could be taken. If the ELOHIM want-
ed to invade and colonize the Earth, it would be
very easy for them -- but this is not their wish.
On the contrary, the ELOHIM tell us: "We love
you, you are our children, we would have tears
in our eyes if you would like to welcome us in
remembrance of what we have done for you,
and, if you'd like, and only if you'd like, build an
embassy for us -- this will be the most beautiful
day of our lives, and we hope it will also be the
most beautiful day of your lives. This way, we
could give you a bit of our knowledge to help
you -- a bit, not too much, because of the risk
that some of you might use it for negative pur-
poses. We could go a little bit further, and above
all be happy to meet our children and be loved
by them." This is what they say.
How can we imagine a deeper humility than
that of these people who have created
everything on Earth...?
They create us in their image, after their like-
ness, with the power of consciousness, of spir-
it; we are here, we grow and develop, they help
us by sending prophets, messengers, so that
we can reach something beautiful. They could
rightly say to themselves: we return to our
home. But no, they say, "Please, build us an
embassy." Is there something that could touch
us or make us cry more than this?
This is something else when compared to the
behavior of the Whites who came to Africa and
behaved as conquerors and invaders.... It is
another level of consciousness, asking those
they have created, the Whites, the Blacks, the
Yellows, "Would you like to welcome us?" The
first colonists could have done the same thing
when they arrived; they could have said, "Hello,
excuse us for disturbing you, but would you like
to welcome us?"
This is the greatness and the wisdom of the
humility of the ELOHIM.
Remember, humility is the most important
quality, particularly in countries torn apart like
yours. When one is humble, one does not
become a military force, one does not become
a warrior. One may be a peacekeeper, because
it is good to have militaries to keep peace
against unbalanced minds, the insane and vio-
lent people, because violent people must be
stopped, through treatment, from being allowed
to harm non-violent people. They are peace-
keepers, and it is good to have a small task
force of peacekeepers, as it is mentioned in the
Messages.
12
But we need no more militaries that take power
by force -- this is complete stupidity, and we
know where it leads most of the populations of
the Earth.
Absolute non-violence comes from humility.
Who am I to dare to impose my wish upon oth-
ers? Who am I? Nobody! Nothing! A bit of dust,
we all are a bit of dust, but a bit of dust with con-
sciousness, a bit of dust capable of being con-
scious that we are the Infinite becoming con-
scious of itself. In fact, we are the intelligence
of the Infinite, because infinity in itself is
silly, it becomes intelligent through the
human being. The Infinite is stupid, and has no
intelligence, except when it becomes alive -- yet
it is only the same small parts of which it is
composed...
CONSCIOUSNESS, LOVE, INTELLIGENCE,
AND SWIFTNESS
The most beautiful manifestation of
consciousness is love. What is love?
Love is to look and to understand what we
are. I am only dust, and I am made of carrots,
of yams my mother has eaten when she con-
ceived me. And as I keep eating, my body's
cells are renewed, and if I stop eating, I return
to dust. I am made of parts of carrots, of sweet
potatoes, of meats and of fishes -- all these
allow my consciousness to continue to express
itself. I am nothing other than dust. And what do
I have in front of me? There is dust, uncon-
scious and silly, and suddently I see human
beings who are like me, whatever the color of
their skin may be. A human being is something
absolutely insignificant, it is just a bit of dust
which is, like me, at the same time as me, on
the same planet, at the same moment, at the
right place and all together, a bit of the Infinite
becoming conscious of itself. It will die however,
perhaps in a minute. Because no one knows
when your heart will stop beating -- perhaps I
will die at the end of my sentence. So, look at
your neighbor right now with the awareness that
maybe he will die in a minute. Look! How many
of you have lost your father, your brother, your
mother, your children, in the wars you have had,
or by accident, and are saying, "I should have
given him/her more love, I should have talked to
him/her, I should have..." Oh, yes, it is too late,
it is over, he/she is in the carpet - he/she is in
the dust. Do it while they and you are still alive.
So, when one understands to what extent
this life, this consciousness, is fragile, fuga-
cious, one can no longer make war, one can-
not kill one another, for life is too short.
Yes, understand to what extent every-
thing goes fast. Rael was to arrive in Africa, and
I am already almost gone back. On Earth, it is
the same thing. One is dead before he realizes
that he was born. Life runs at an incredible
speed, and one accomplishes so little during
that lifetime. How long do you live? 70 years! As
I read before I arrived, the average life
expectancy in this country is 45 years -- that is
not much. In France, it is 85 years, so let us take
a mean between the two - say, for example, a
life expectancy of 65 years, what is it? 65 times
we tour around the sun -- it really is not much.
One must profit of each tour! During the first
five years, a person is not conscious, he (she)
is too young. And, when one becomes old, one
is not conscious either -- one falls back into
child hood, this is a bit problematic. So, how
much is left? 30 years, 40 years, during which
one can be conscious -- it is too little! So, take
advantage of it.
Enjoy this life, because each life,
each person, each individual who is around
us is precious. The silliest, the most annoy-
ing, the most timid, as well as the richest,
and the most brilliant people become
extraordinary. This is all because one has
the chance to live at the same time with the
others.
Many people ask me the question and
want to know if, in order to be wise and con-
scious, one needs to move slowly. These peo-
ple think that one must sit cross-legged, speak-
ing slowly like the Presidents of the Republic,
and this way they will have the feeling that they
are intelligent. They are not intelligent at all.
Intelligence and consciousness develop
with the swiftness and the quality of the
information that is transmitted. Surely,
certain false prophets or false wisemen say
.............. my ............ very ................ dear
.................. brothers ................ the ...............
sky ................. is ............... with ................
you................
One can also speak very fast like I do,
trying to deliver the maximum amount of infor-
mation in the fastest way possible, so that you
can know the most possible. One can spend a
long time saying nothing, or one can say
everything very fast!
I prefer to say a lot very fast, rather
than to say nothing in a long time. Do you
understand? I like watching television, and I
particularly like watching political leaders who
have the extraordinary talent of saying nothing
in a long time -- they are true artists of their
type. I like to watch them, because for me, who
has to say everything in a very short time, I find
that what they do is extraordinarily difficult, a
true sport!
13
In all the countries, they are all alike, they talk a
lot but they say nothing. And when you take a
look at your watch, they have spoken for an
hour! And, let's say that you are listening --
when you do not fall asleep!
This is the talent of politicians -- are they wise?
If so, I prefer not to be wise, so that I can trans-
mit knowledge quickly.
Train yourself to think fast, to speak fast,
making sure that you are understood, of
course. Train yourself to pass on quickly the
information, to move fast -- I know it is a lit-
tle bit difficult in Africa, as the climate is hot.
But the faster you move, the faster you
work, the more efficient you are. To discover
scientific things or other things, if you move
slowly, you will discover it slowly. This is what
characterises geniuses like Brigitte and others,
when you see them in laboratories or else-
where, it is like a ping-pong game, it goes fast,
very fast.
Develop this swiftness -- one must be swift,
even in wisdom, even in meditation. Look, I
will surprise you. We know that to meditate is to
lie down. Yes, this is in the begining, when you
are learning. And then, spend 20 minutes lis-
tening to the cassette of Raël. Yes, this is in the
begining, when you are learning.
You can be in a permanent state of medita-
tion while working, while making love, while
going to the toilet, and at all times. Don't
partition your life: now I meditate, now I will
make love with my companion. No, do
everything at the same time. Accustom
yourself to accomplishing many tasks at the
same time -- this reinforces your brain. If you
are a right-handed person, try and enjoy writing
with your left hand, amuse yourself writing
words in reverse, it puts different parts of your
brain to work. If you have always thought in a
certain way, try to think in another way. If you
like the color red, and not the color blue, dress
in blue just to see what it does.
Always probe new sectors of your life,
develop your mind and your conscious-
ness. If you don't like Blacks, this is what I tell
Europeans (here, of course, there is no prob-
lem): go and talk to them. If you don't like tapio-
ca, taste tapioca. I forbid myself to dislike any
food on Earth.
When I arrived in Japan, there was Nato, a food
made of fermented soybeans, it smells very
bad! And it was late at night, and I saw Lisa, my
companion at that time, eating it delightfully,
using sticks. Thus, I forgot my first impression of
repulsion to see what effect this would have on
my brain. Now, I love it. You must force your-
self to taste, because you can't say that you
don't like something as long as you have
not discovered the taste. You must put your
brain into a state of virginity, without pre-
conception, to discover what is good in
what people give you. Whether it is culture,
whether it is science, whether it is food.
Train yourself to like what you don't like. You can
have preferences, dishes you prefer, and you
are not obliged to force yourself to eat every
day the dishes you like the least -- this is not
what I am saying. But it is important to learn to
be capable of appreciating... There is no food
on Earth that I am incapable of eating, there is
no color on Earth that I am not capable of
appreciating. In all things we do, there is beau-
ty.
Be conscious, all the time, that you are
beings in a development process -- do not
stop at a preconception, do not stop at a com-
plex of inferiority. This one is what I've noticed
the most in you, because I have heard so many
Africans telling me that the whites are better.
Go and probe science, go and probe knowl-
edge, push your children, encourage your
chidren, not to become equal to whites, but
rather to become better, because they are
capable of that, and because they have the
duty of becoming so -- and maybe one day,
your culture will be so developed that
Europeans will come and study in Africa.
TO DEVELOP AFRICA :
The City of Sciences, English, Traditional
Languages, The United States of Africa.
I have a big project, and Brigitte is here with me
to see how to put it into concrete form. I would
like to create a city of sciences here, the first
African City of Sciences which could be
called "Scientopolis," where there would be a
laboratory for cloning which all the so-called
developed countries have condemned for "ethi-
cal" reasons...
I really hope that this will be done in an African
country. There, genetically modified foods will
be produced, genetically modified plants allow-
ing us to feed the whole world. This will multiply
agricultural industrial productions by 10, by
100, by 1,000, because it is possible to produce
food crops with a yield per hectare 1,000 times
higher, thanks to genetic modifications. It is
feasable, it is possible, we can produce
bananas as big as your thigh, and tasting 10
times better. We can make coconuts as big as
pumpkins! There are no pumpkins here. I must
find another image. We can make coconut trees
where the nuts would be lower than the level of
our heads -- it would be less dangerous when
we take a nap. We can make a lawn that needs
14
not be mowed, if we program the grass to stop
growing after a given height. We can do every-
thing, we can become ELOHIM, we can
become gods. All is possible.
I would like to create this city of sciences in
Africa, with a laboratory for genetics, a labora-
tory for cloning, a laboratory for electronics. My
son, who has a school of computer science in
Paris, could also help with this project. He could
also help you to train the youngsters to be at the
same level as the Americans, and make Africa
jump, suddenly, from the middle age, directly
into the future without having to go through
intermediate periods. This would outrage the
Western countries, because, in reality, they say
loudly, "We must help Africa," and then they
whisper... "but not too much. They must
progress a little, but they must not become bet-
ter than us, because they must continue to con-
sume our products, to buy what we have to sell
them" - these are the words of hypocrites.
On the contrary, I want you to become a little bit
above them. Everyone has his turn at last, and
it is normal not to have the same people always
ahead of the others.
I would like Africa to develop so much that
maybe, one day, it will help the new "third world"
which Europe would become -- this will be inter-
esting. And, European students would come
and study here, and you would welcome them
with kind regards and no malice. We need this
type of reversal. Think about it, it is possible. I
am not dreaming. It all depends only on you, on
your pride, on your dignity, on your eagerness
to know, and on the knowledge you will have
shared with your children.
All this is possible. There may even be a greater
chance than you imagine. Why? Because
Western countries have handicaps that you
don't have. The handicap of "ethics." You must
abandon "ethics." Be aware, because this issue
could spring up here. Their "ethics" come from
traditional religions, such as the Catholic reli-
gion.
I want us to launch a big planetary cam-
paign of apostasy in countries which have
been colonized. Here is the clear message to
get to your brothers and sisters of Africa:
"How can you be a Christian, given what the
colonizers have done to your ancestors?
When you are Christian, you make your
great-grandfather who is watching you from
the sky cry. Because your great-grandfather
and your great-grandmother have suffered
under the Christian colonizers. They were
converted by force, they are up there, they
are watching you and they are thinking: how
can they go to the church of those who have
massacred us? How can they? Think of your
ancestors. The best way of making them
happy is to apostatize from the Catholic
Church. This church which so tortured your
ancestors, forcing them, separating them by
force from their family. I apostatize. I bear
them no malice, I forgive them, but you see,
I have decided to no longer be a member of
the Catholic Church.
Sign your act of apostasy and add - "In
memory of my ancestors, whom you have
converted by force" - then send it to your
bishop.
This message must be sent -- this is a must!
And you can also, after this apostasy, choose to
have the privilege of being Raelian, to belong to
the Raelian Movement, which is not, which has
never been, and which will never be a coloniz-
ing religion. It respects all groups, all ethnicities,
all differences. It wants each small group, each
small ethnicity to shine all its lights. It is in favor
of one world language, another aspect of the
fight for dignity. For me, you must abandon
French, choose English -- I may be shocking
you. Why, you might wonder? Because
English is the planetary language of today.
Besides, especially in countries colonized by
France, it is a slap in the face to the colonists of
the past to abandon their language and choose
English. They are so proud that the French have
left some traces here, like the church and the
school, which also use the French language.
You have languages that are beautiful -- I know
that there are 50 or 60 in your country. In
Africa, there are thousands of languages
that must be preserved. Like the traditional
cultures of your villages -- they must be pre-
served; your children in villages must learn
the traditional African languages you have,
and English; throw away French, into the
trash can... French will enable you to talk to
only very few people; there are 1% of French
people on Earth! There are 2% of French
speakers! There are 70% of English speakers
and people who can speak English more or
less. With English, you can go everywhere, I
can go everywhere. I go to Russia. I go to
China, I go to Japan, and, with this language, I
communicate with the whole world. With
French, you get Belgium, Switzerland.... and
the French, it's only 2% of the world population;
besides, this language is difficult to learn.
Teach English to your children, and you will
open up their universe. By teaching them
French, you open them to only 2% of the world
population -- the choice is quickly made.
Do not forget your local languages, as they
are an important tradition, and they contain
a part of the ELOHIM's knowledge, because
15
they come from the ELOHIM. From the
beginning, there is a bit of the ELOHIM's
knowledge, an understanding and some cul-
ture of the ELOHIM in all the languages of
the Earth.
Right now, at the United Nations, there are
about 280 countries in the world. Very soon
there will be 2,000 or 3,000 -- because all the
regions will have their independence.
It is also another idea I am defending -- the
creation of the United States of Africa,
because Africa must prepare for the upcom-
ing big international fight, the economic and
financial fight.
Today, Europe is united with a new currency
called the Euro; Asia is doing the same thing: a
zone of free exchange, which unites a large
number of Asian countries, is being formed. In
America, it is NAFTA, which gathers the
economies of all the Americas with the proposi-
tion of free exchange and no taxes. There are
already no taxes between the USA, Canada
and Mexico. All this is happening. In Africa,
there is nothing yet. And nobody is pushing you
to do it. Why? Because they want you to be eco-
nomically dependent.
You must create "The United States of
Africa" -- this is very important. The United
States of Africa, with an African currency,
which I called "The Afro." The Euro exists,
so why not the Afro? Press your political lead-
ers to launch all this... the creation of an African
union is being delayed by the inability of the
OAU to move forward, because when it moves
two steps ahead it immediately moves three
steps back.
Start with your close neighbours, and suggest
to your political leaders to start just with neigh-
bouring countries, by establishing a free
exchange zone with one country, then with
another one, then with another one again; after
a while, those countries which did not want to
join the free exchange would see the grass
being cut under their feet. The OAU would be
forced to pedal...
It must go fast. It must be done. Not in 40 years,
otherwise you will add to the delay you experi-
ence today. This should have been done before
Europe, before NAFTA. You must create a free
exchange zone, because if all the products,
all the raw materials, move freely, free of
customs and taxes, among all the African
countries, then you will have access to
wealth. This continent has everything to be
rich if the economic borders are suppressed
(this is one of the messages I bring), if it
installs a single currency (so that you can
circulate everywhere), and if it creates a fed-
eralised African government composed of
all the small groups, inclusive of all native
ethnicities.
Who has drawn the borders? The colonizers.
They took the map and drew lines: this is for
you, the British, this is for you, the Belgians,
and this is for us, the French. It didn't exist
before. You had your ethnic groups, which were
independant. Things must become like they
were before. Like the people of the Corse in
France, and the people of Quebec in Canada,
who want to be independant. This way, there
will be no more genocide like what you have
had between the Hutus and the Tutsis. Why this
did happen? Genocide originates with people
forced by the colonists to live together in the
same country. And, as you know better than
me, when an ethnic group comes into power, it
crushes the others. Each ethnic group must
have its total independence in an African
Federation where all the ethnic groups
would be represented. A thousand, five
hundred, all equally represented.
This will be Africa of tomorrow. It is the only
possibility you have to repair this injustice of the
colonists who came and defined borders for
you without any concern of having sometimes
separated some groups of people in two. This is
stupid, and it creates the tensions you have,
leading to the dramas you go through episodi-
cally. That is why you have these genocides.
They are so awful.
One could think that Africans are violent. No. If
you force two rats to live together in a cage, with
one in command, the other rat will be unhappy,
particularly if the cage is small. Each must have
its independance, its space, its autonomy. You
must have an African government of the United
States of Africa. The United States of Africa
would be economically as powerful (if not more
powerful) as the United States of America,
because you have all the raw materials, and
this should allow you, with a single currency, to
become also scientifically equal to the
Westerners. This is what I wish for you -- this is
what I hope to see.

THE POLITICAL ROLE OF THE PROPHET
Because, to be the Prophet now on Earth is
not only to reveal the secrets of our origins,
which are in the Messages of the Elohim; it
is not only to promise you a magnificent
future, thanks to science and the knowledge
that you will become Elohim yourselves. To
be the Prophet today is to get involved in
today's politics, so that people can live bet-
ter, and particularly to get involved in coun-
tries which suffered the most from the ego-
ism and the brutality of those who had the
chance to have, for a short moment, a small
advance. This advance is sad.
The only way to reach world peace is to unite.
This is why my role as prophet is not only
spiritual and religious, it is also political.
And even if I make some enemies, and one
of them might one day assassinate me, I will
still say what I have to say.
Thank you all.
RAEL
Born on September 30th, 1946 in Vichy, RAEL became quickly impassioned
by speed and dreams of a career as a race-car driver. As a sport journalist,
he created a sports automobile revue magazine, which became the most
important in France.
He achieved promising results as a race-car driver, which led him to fore-
see interesting possibilities in this demanding
discipline.
Then, an unexpected as well as original event
overturned his life. On December 13th, 1973, dur-
ing an encounter of the third kind with an extra-
terrestrial, he received the mission of spreading
all around the world, the truth about the origin of
humanity.
Following up this contact, he wrote "The Book Which Tells The Truth" and
decided to devote his life to the accomplishment of this fantastic mission.
From then on, conferences, interviews, and TV shows followed one anoth-
er, and men and women started to join him.
On October 7th, 1975, in the Perigord region of France, he was contacted
again, and this time he had the privilege of visiting another planet, where
he received extraordinary revelations.
Rael then wrote "The Extraterrestrials Took Me To Their Planet," a book in
which he relates on the one hand how amazing this original journey was,
and he gives us on the other hand the keys to fullfilment and blossoming
which will allow men of good will to enter the golden age, quite often
announced in old scriptures.
Rael wrote three other books, and created what is today, in more than 85
countries, known as "The Raelian Religion."
He carries on his mission for all of humanity, continuing to spread a mes-
sage of love and respect, and to teach, during awakening seminars, the
techniques of fulfilment which the Elohim, our creators, taught him.
