Love. Love. I want to say only love. We don’t need anything else, just love. What is love? We all wake up in the same state as when we were born. When you are born, you are alone, totally alone. Even twin brothers, they are born alone, one first and the other one after, but you are alone. That’s very interesting because it contains love.
To be born, to come to this planet, you do it every morning when you wake up. Even if you are living a beautiful love story with a partner, you wake up alone. Remember, not a long time ago, this morning, you were in a bed or on a futon. You woke up totally alone. There is somebody on your side, but you are alone, and it’s a treasure. If you consider being alone a treasure, you never suffer from loneliness.
You are so lucky to be alone. It’s a treasure because with this aloneness you can give love. People who suffer from loneliness say, “Oh, I am alone. Oh, I don’t have a lover. I don’t have a partner. Nobody loves me.” Terrible! Are you really alone? How many people are on this planet? Eight billion! Eight billion! “Oh, I feel lonely.” It is so funny to feel lonely when you are on a planet with eight billion people.
If you meet only one new person every day and you live 80 years, you cannot meet everybody. You can calculate how many people you can meet, maybe 10,000, maybe 20,000, if you really go every day to meet new people. Eight billion! Eight billion! Think about it! And you feel lonely.
How can you feel lonely? Everybody suffers from loneliness, from the illusion of loneliness. It’s an illusion. Eight billion! If you meet 100 new people every day, it takes a lot of time. Imagine you meet 100 people every day; in 80 years you cannot meet everybody. Somebody said a sentence I love: “if you feel lonely when you are alone, you are in very bad company”.
If you feel lonely when you are alone, you are in very bad company.
Who is the company? You, yourself! You don’t feel yourself if you feel lonely. Eight billion on Earth! How many people in your hand? So many people on the small planets in your hand, and you feel lonely?
And you just look out from the window of your house. What do you see? Other houses? Other apartments? Loneliness! Most of the people who suffer from loneliness don’t live on a farm in the countryside. They are in big buildings with thousands of apartments, and all are in their apartments.
“I am alone.” For me it’s more funny than Charlie Chaplin or Mr. Bean.
In Africa, some people, sometimes, not as often as in Europe, become depressed. First, I have to explain what depression is. Depress means there is pressure. To “depress” is to remove the pressure. But you are so used to having pressure that when you are back to yourself, you don’t feel any more pressure. You are depressed, and that’s when you meet yourself.
Yesterday, on the Internet, a top scientist explained that there are more cells in our body that don’t carry our DNA than cells that have our DNA: bacteria, viruses, parasites. And we need them. That’s why the masks are stupid. Do you remember when the crazy time of Covid was there? I took the hands of many Raelians and licked them. I’m still alive. I licked so many people in my life, including anus, sex, the most smelly parts.
When you kiss somebody on the lips, millions of bacteria are exchanged. Your mouth is full of bacteria and we need them. It’s called our microbiome. And when you eat, you need to chew your food slowly. Why? Not so much to make it like a puree, not so much. It is to mix it with your bacteria, because these bacteria help you digest.
So, if you use some stupid chemical to really clean the mouth, I think one is called Listerine. Every chemical you put in your mouth or spray, kill your bacteria.
I’m French. I was born in France. I didn’t choose. We love bread. If you put bread in your mouth and chew it, it’s not bread anymore. It becomes something else because of the bacteria in your mouth. And then it goes in the stomach, a lot of bacteria waiting. That’s why you feel hungry. They are talking to you: “Hey, send the food!”
Your digestion is done by the bacteria. That’s why, when you make the mistake of taking antibiotics, anti-biotics meaning killing bacteria, you develop diarrhea the next day, because you don’t have the bacteria anymore. So, we need them. We are not alone. There is a world, a huge population, in your mouth, in your stomach, in your intestine, in your liver, everywhere. And it’s not something we have to destroy, because you become sick. We need them.
In the morning, if you feel lonely, say, “Good morning!” Feel it! There are a lot of things alive in you which are not you – they don’t have your DNA. And the more you touch, kiss other people, the richer it becomes.
Do you remember stupid people at the time of Covid? Alcohol everywhere. You enter a restaurant, alcohol everywhere to kill bacteria. And then you become very sick, because we need bacteria to stay healthy.
We are lucky, we Raelians, because we love contact. We love hugging. We love kissing. We love licking anus. And that gives us bacteria.
You know, some people have diarrhea which they cannot fix because they are missing some bacteria. And these people suffer from diarrhea forever. They tried everything, probiotics, nothing works. Doctors discovered – intelligent doctors, there are some intelligent doctors sometimes – they take a little bit from the intestine of healthy people, a little bit, and they open the belly and put it in the belly of sick people, and the diarrhea stops.
So, when you lick anus, same thing happens. If you have diarrhea, lick the anus of your friend. Eh? But not at the 11 am meeting.
The more you share bacteria, the healthier you are. When you look at other people like that, how can you feel lonely? You have millions of things living inside you. So, without having a huge ego, you can say, I love you. You love yourself. You love all these things alive inside you. So self-loving is loving a huge population of people, very tiny, but they have consciousness. If they don’t have consciousness, they cannot be a part of you.
The same way recently we spoke about supraconsciousness. People think it’s here [the brain]. In which other part of our body are there neurons? A few years ago, they discovered that intestines are full of neurons. Maybe that’s why many people have shit thinking.
But recently, they discovered a lot of neurons in the heart. Not here [showing the left breast area], this is the lung. I always laugh when I see American people singing the national anthem of their country with hands on their left. The heart is in the middle, a little bit to the left, but in the middle. This is my heart. And it’s the most important part of my body. It is, and now I say it officially, where supraconsciousness is. Not in the brain. The brain is just like, you know, having many cables in your computer, that’s the brain. But the real intelligence is the intelligence of the heart.
When you say to somebody – you can say it to me – “I love you”, try to focus. “I love you”. If you say it, thinking with the brain, there won’t be many effects, right? Now say, “I love you” [with your heart]. Do you feel the difference? I love you [with your brain] or I love you [with your heart]. Immediately you feel the effect.
And if you try, because you are depressed or lonely, to love yourself with your brain, same thing happens. But if you love yourself with the heart, it is different. Why are you alive? Because of the brain? No, because of the heart. The heart is where supraconsciousness is. The connection to the universe is not the brain, it’s the heart. And that’s a fantastic message of love.
I am. Eh! I am [touching the brain]. No feeling. But that’s a mistake of humanity, like The Thinker of Rodin, very famous. I am [touching the heart]. I am. “I think, therefore I am.” That was the Descartes sentence. I think, therefore I am not. That’s the truth. The truth is: I love, therefore I am. And when you want to love yourself, don’t think – feel. Wow! You feel? Let’s try together. “I am” [touching the heart]. You feel the vibration here? “I am”. You have the best. I am. I am.
And you touch yourself, and all the bacteria inside you feel it. So, remember, eight billion human beings on Earth, most of them in huge apartment buildings. I call it rabbit cages. Little cubes, toilets, a place to sleep, mini kitchen, and they feel lonely. But around them, millions of people have the same thing.
The new architecture of the world – what is architecture? We have an architect here. He is building walls. Walls separate people. I always say to people who feel lonely, did you talk to your neighbor in your apartment? No.
Ninety-nine percent of people, ninety-nine percent, never talk to their neighbor. They cross sometimes near the elevator, no communication. Of course, they feel lonely. Civilization is built to make you lonely. But the creation of the Elohim was to make you together. And you feel it on Sunday at 11. We are together.
We don’t lick anus right here. Mentally we do it. Feeling this oneness. I remember the first year I came to Japan and gave a Happiness Academy. I was so surprised. All the Japanese meeting other Raelians [just bowing the head]. But the second year, they hugged! That’s to be not alone.
I was so surprised that Japanese families, some families, never kiss their children. Wow! Never kiss their children. Oh la la! that’s a nightmare. Children need to be hugged, to be kissed. That’s what all human beings need. Now we can explain scientifically why. There is one chemical hormone named oxytocin. When we hug each other, oxytocin flows. Oxytocin, made by our glands, by just hugging, and this hormone flows. And you feel it if you pay attention. And scientific studies measure the level of oxytocin in the blood. When you hug, when you touch, just touch, it goes up.
But more importantly, people witnessing, watching, also the level of oxytocin goes higher. With animals, if you have a dog or a cat, I don’t know what, they come and they want to be touched. They don’t want a lesson of science or politics. They come and the tail is moving – touch me. For animal also, oxytocin. And the wonderful people who have a pet, dog or cat, anything, anything – the level of oxytocin in the animal goes up also. That’s absolutely fantastic. And when we meditate together, there is a huge increase in oxytocin.
Oxytocin is what makes you feel good. Happiness is a hormone, and you can produce it or not. And the little animals living inside us, they also need oxytocin everywhere. When you send your love to the Elohim, oxytocin is produced and they feel your love. We will make an embassy, oxytocin, love.
I saw this morning something very funny I want to share before ending my talk. If you have a dog, the dog looks at you and says, “Wow, he is giving me food, protecting me, he is God.” The cat looks at you and says, “He is giving me food, protecting me, I am God” [laughter].
I am the slave of my cat. We are. At first, the cat goes in front of the door, meow, and we open the door. But he trains us so well that he goes in front of the door, no meow, and we go and open it. That’s training, right?
So, remember, love, love for everything, first for yourself, not here [showing the brain], here [showing the heart]. This little machine which is constantly keeping you alive. And the oxytocin, the hormone of happiness, this is in your hand. Do it.
Wake up in the morning saying, who will I give oxytocin to today? It can be a phone call to another person you like. It can be a little email. But giving your attention. And please, talk to your neighbor. You buy some flowers; you knock on the door of your neighbor: “this is for you”. “Why?” “Because I am your neighbor.” By doing it, you change the world.
There is no reason. In the corridor, give your smile. No need for any reason, just because we live in the same place at the same time. That’s how you change the planet. And not only change things for your neighbor and you, but for everybody.
The vibration of love radiates everywhere. Do it.
