We are guided by the love of the Elohim. But life is made of challenges. The biggest challenge is to get out of bed in the morning. The biggest challenge. It is so comfortable, doing nothing, not risking anything \u2014 but then, you have no life. So to have a life, we have to get out of bed and take risks.<\/p>\n
The most dangerous risk is to take no risk.<\/p>\n
Many people are afraid of a typhoon, an earthquake, and they want to stay in bed. But when there are earthquakes, one of the most dangerous places is the bed. Earthquakes never kill anybody. A house, falling \u2014 that kills. An earthquake, it’s fun. I remember being with Fran\u00e7ois-Yves in Tako, during an earthquake, we were in the garden, it was moving \u2014 it’s enjoyable.<\/p>\n
It was so much fun, I still remember it like it was yesterday \u2014 it was what, 16 years ago, 17 years ago? We were in front of my little pond where I had many koi, and we made a little circle, dancing with the movement. And the little pond was going up. And I could witness \u2014 fish flying. Ah, Maitreya, he saw UFOs, he saw extraterrestrials… I saw fish flying! You see UFOs, you meet extraterrestrials, and now fish flying! Unforgettable.<\/p>\n
And we were laughing and enjoying the movement. The only apprehension \u2014 not even fear, just a little apprehension \u2014 was whether the house would fall or not. But the house was strong. Just a few cracks and no problem. What a good memory.<\/p>\n
My first experience with an earthquake was in Tokyo, on my first trip to Japan. I remember being in a high hotel, at the 30th floor, and it was the first time I felt a building move \u2014 that is very interesting. The building moving \u2014 no problem, because if it falls, I know what is waiting after. But there were 5 or 6 buildings and they were all moving like that. What an experience! But I enjoyed the garden with Fran\u00e7ois-Yves and the flying koi more.<\/p>\n
What I wanted to explain is \u2014 you take a risk, and it can save your life. People are so afraid. What they do, especially in Europe, in Italy, when there is an earthquake \u2014 they run to the church. Everybody runs to the church. And the church kills the most people. The church kills ten times more people than staying outside, because it falls. And if you are inside, you die. If you are in the garden looking at the koi \u2014 no problem.<\/p>\n
So life is risking.<\/p>\n
I saw recently an interview with the richest man on Earth, Elon Musk. He said \u2014 take risks. You want to become rich? Take risks. Lewis Hamilton, my favorite Formula 1 driver, speaks to young drivers \u2014 you want to win races? Take risks. If you don’t take risks, you finish last.<\/p>\n
So, risking is having a life. In sport, in life, in love.<\/p>\n
I met many, many girls and boys who don’t want to start a love story with somebody because they are afraid that if it stops, they will suffer. Sometimes they talk to me \u2014 Maitreya, I would love to have a partner but I’m afraid that one day she will leave and I will suffer. So I say \u2014 stay alone in your bedroom and cry forever. Take a risk! What’s your risk? Nothing! You contact a beautiful girl or a handsome boy, the relationship may stop one day \u2014 and it’s even more exciting because you can start another one, and another one, and another one. There is this stupid belief that you must have one love in your life.<\/p>\n
Every love story \u2014 and we love love \u2014 is taking risks.<\/p>\n
Coming with me, you come into the Raelian Movement with a dangerous guru who will wash your brain. Many people want to join but they are afraid \u2014 afraid that I will wash their brain. Soon there will be our Happiness Academy \u2014 I’m thinking of going on stage with a big bucket and soap. Welcome to the Brainwashing Academy! It’s so funny, the fear. We would have a hundred times more members if there was no fear.<\/p>\n
So, do you want to have a beautiful life? Take risks. Risk with everything \u2014 with consciousness, with supraconsciousness \u2014 but remember, the biggest risk is not to take any.<\/p>\n
Is it possible that Maitreya is just lying? That it is just imagination, that the Elohim will never come? It’s possible. But we are ready, and we will make the Embassy. And all the people saying \u2014 oh, it’s imagination \u2014 they will regret not being part of it.<\/p>\n
Following Buddha, Jesus and Maitreya is taking a risk. Ah, the risk that it’s not true? It’s possible. But you are here. You choose \u2014 just like you can choose to have a girlfriend or a boyfriend, you take the risk. Or you stay in your bed. And staying in bed all your life is very boring.<\/p>\n
So \u2014 welcome to action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
