Aging is a privilege. Many people don’t age. There is a very simple way of never aging: to die. When you die, you stop aging.
So, you all know how lucky you are to still be alive. And instead of complaining about aging, you can have in your mind this beautiful sentence: I will never be as young as today. Because negative people say, “I have never been as old as today.” But the positive way, which is very important: “I will never in the future be as young as today.”
It looks like self-motivation just to feel happy. It’s much more than that. Never forget that everything you think, talks to your cells. Your cells are listening to you. That’s loving yourself.
If you love yourself, what does it mean? To love every part of yourself, including the big toe, the asshole – it’s you. Sometimes, “Who am I? Am I… I am… I am… I am what?” When you say “I am,” which part is talking? Is it the brain? No, the mouth? It’s making sounds, but is it the mouth? Are you just your mouth? Just your brain? Not at all. You are everything, all the cells, the millions of cells that work to keep you alive. It starts when you are born. It starts every day when you wake up.
You wake up first thinking you must have a first thought. Really do it. You can learn from cats. When I wake up my cat, what is the first thing he does? Yes – stretching. Immediately. I can bring him food, other things, but first he is feeling his body, being his body.
Constantly, all your organs are keeping you alive. What is the most important? The heart. It always makes me laugh when I see people on TV singing the national anthem. The heart is not here, stupid! (showing the upper left of the thorax). The heart is here (middle of the thorax). Your heart never stops working to keep you alive, constantly.
Some people think the most important thing is breathing. Life is breathing. You breathe only when you get out of the womb of your mother. But, from conception, the heart starts beating. Many months before you breathe, the little heart, growing, tiny, keeps you alive.
The second important thing is breathing, because in the womb of the mother, you don’t breathe. You spent many months without breathing – we cannot do it now. Some children, when they are angry, say, “I will stop breathing.” They can do it for a few seconds but, ah! You need to breathe. Breathing in is inhaling life, and the last thing you will do is breathing. And when you stop breathing, you die. Very simple. But now you can almost be sure you will breathe for at least a few hours, maybe all day, maybe – we never know – maybe a few weeks, maybe a few months, maybe a few years. What is important? The breathing is fantastic.
Is the breathing you had ten years ago, or next year, important? The only important breathing is now. Breathing is the most powerful tool to bring us to the now. But we can breathe unconsciously or consciously. Let’s do it together. Ok? One, two, three. Inhale… keep… and exhale. This is a very, very important meditation. Remember it when you will be on your deathbed.
The most beautiful breathing is the first one when you come out of mama. But we are not conscious then. But for the last one, you can be conscious and die peacefully. It’s the gate to reach eternal life planet.
And another one that Raelians are lucky to expect: the first breathing on the eternal life planet. Prepare yourself. You will wake up one day on the Elohim planet, and you will breathe for the first time. Imagine this moment. It’s coming. I hope for everybody here. It depends on you, what you do with your life.
Why are we alive? Mechanically, our heart keeps us alive. Our breathing keeps us alive. But why be alive? Just to breathe?
To give love.
If you give love to everybody – to the people around you, to the people far away from you, to the people you don’t know – you do it. I saw many photos of you doing “one minute for peace meditation.” You sit in the street and meditate one minute for peace. Doing so, you are giving love to all humanity. Also remember the other action I promoted: free hugs. Free hugs! You are in the street offering a hug to anybody. That’s giving love. You walk all day, you meet people.
How to give love? No need to talk – with your eyes. Giving love can be actions, but it’s also taking the time to look in the eyes of people, taking the time to feel other people alive, to forgive every mistake they can make. I forgive you. I forgive you for all the mistakes you made and all the mistakes you will make. Love is with the past, the present, and the future.
Giving love, giving, giving. Receiving is pleasant. Giving love – every time you give, you become happier. When you receive, it’s pleasant. When you give, it’s pure happiness. Giving anything – or simply your eyes. And the eyes are connected to the mouth. Naturally, when you look at people, a smile comes. Naturally. Feel it. Smile to people. It changes their lives. It changes all their lives.
Many times, I go shopping or to restaurants or anywhere, and I smile at people I don’t know. Sometimes, especially in France, people are angry if you smile, and they say, “Why are you smiling to me?” That’s amazing, eh? They are shocked by the smile. It shows us how crazy our education and planet are. The question should be, “Why are you not smiling to me?” That should be the question when you meet somebody. “Why are you not smiling?” “I don’t have any reason to smile.” Because you have no reason to smile, you should smile! Without any reason. That’s giving.
Give your smile. You love the Elohim? You look at the sky – maybe they are up, or not sure, they can be down, to the right, to the left – but we look up. And when you look up, smile. Send your smile to the Elohim, thankful, and do it every time you wake up. Before opening your eyes, before getting out of bed, you wake up, you smile. To nobody! When you smile, you send a message of happiness to all your cells.
When you smile, all your health is better in every organ. We can measure it. You can measure the heartbeat, the blood pressure, the brainwaves. When you smile, all becomes better. Your liver works better; your intestine works better – every organ. If you go to the toilet, smile – you will have no constipation, everything relaxes. In every action, your body works better.
Like a very famous French philosopher said: “I decided to be happy because it’s good for health”. Voltaire, I think. I decided to be happy because it’s good for health.
And it’s scientifically proven. People who are not happy become more depressed. Their blood pressure becomes bad, heartbeats accelerate. Some people even create a heart attack. When you are happy, all your organs work better. All organs! You have some stupid diets on the Internet to detox. There is an organ here named the liver. The only job of the liver is to detox. Naturally, constantly, the liver removes all toxins from the body. For all these fantastic creations, the Elohim gave us the key to be in good health: being happy. Happy for no reason.
Happy – naturally happy. It’s very important: every detail affects your health. Looking at negative movies, violent movies affect your health. Look at beauty instead. When you sit in front of a TV, you don’t decide what you see. Some people create images and you receive them. Better go in the forest. You choose where you look at. Maybe there is a shit on the way. You can look at it, or you can look at flowers. You choose. Nobody else chooses for you. But the education, the media pushes you to look at the shit. And after, everybody is surprised to be depressed.
Fifty percent – half of the population of America – take pills against depression or to sleep better. Fifty percent. Wow! We are born to be happy. We are not born to be depressed. You create it by where you direct your attention. If you don’t see anything positive to look at, look in the mirror and smile to yourself. It’s very important to have good mental health and no depression. Don’t look in the mirror and say, “Oh! Ugly! Oh!” You go down when you do that. Smile instead. Start your day with a smile that is guaranteed: yours! Many people don’t do it. The first person you see in the morning is yourself. Laugh! I laugh in the mirror. I smile to myself. I don’t expect other people to smile at me.
That’s expectation. When you enter somewhere or meet somebody and you want to receive a smile, but the person is not happy, then you feel frustration. The best smile, guaranteed 100%, is yours in the mirror.
Please remember that every morning. Train yourself to smile – not only with the mouth, but with the eyes.
Look in your eyes. They are so beautiful. Did you notice the beauty of your eyes yourself? Don’t expect it to come from other people.
You should be in love with your eyes, and then happiness will stay in your life. In every important religion, prayers are singing. If you are not very good, it doesn’t matter. Do you remember the most basic vibration, which is a prayer to the Elohim also? Humming. Hmmmmm…. No lyrics, just a vibration. ( the group around Maitreya hums together for a few minutes). Make all your life humming. And remember, when we say “Elohim,” what is the last sound? Himmmmm. It is part of it.
I love everybody here and am so happy to be with you.
