 Well, I really want to thank you for being here. I know it's been a long day for some of you and Again want to thank Hank for his kind invitation and for making my presence here possible I've been a member of this organization for 25 years. I first heard about it 32 years ago. I was in Canada and Basically, personally, I wasn't really into Religion I grew up with parents that were pretty much liberal never telling us to go to church on Sundays particularly and I did my studies in molecular biology and Throughout these years. I never really grasped the concept of Darwinism and evolution So when I first heard about Raelianism, I Said okay, that's nice And I continued on my journey my spiritual quest if you will and it's only seven years after during after this Quest that I met Rael. I attended his seminars and it was basically the turning point for me What you're about to see Is the extraordinary story of a man's close and physical encounter with an extraterrestrial human being? That happened in 1973 During which time he was given a message to spread around the world and today 40 years later. Rael is still alive and his message hasn't changed one bit still the same and I have brought some books He wrote a book called intelligent design message from the designers and all the details of The magnitude of the message that he received are laid out in this extraordinary book the presentation consists of two videos one which lasts about eight minutes Which encapsulates if you will the essence of the of the Raelian philosophy and The second video is a shorter one in which Rael speaks for two minutes about his encounter I don't need to hope that you will Watch these two videos with an open mind because I already sense you you have that and also with a set of space age because we are in the age of science today and Then I'll be coming back after the two videos are presented Thank you. I know exactly What question you are dying to ask me and I will answer it right now There is no incontrovertible physical evidence that Rael had this encounter none and The good news is I'm not here to try to convince any of you of any of it because it's not about the messenger It's about the message It's not about believing in the messenger But more about understanding the message Because belief and understanding are two separate worlds a primitive superstitious people used to believe the earth was flat today Except of course for the members of the Flat Earth Society I would say it's fair to say that the majority of the world understands that the earth is round thanks to science and you know being an atheist and Rejecting the idea That a mystical and almighty God created all life on earth does not necessarily make Darwinism or the evolution theory the last theory standing it's not it's not really the case because there are other theories out there and The fact is if since the discovery of DNA back in 1953 by quick Watson and Rosalind Franklin More so I would say in the past three decades There's been an explosion of scientific knowledge and we have witnessed extraordinary breakthroughs Particularly in the field of biological sciences for instance, we now understand that every living cell in our body is extremely complex and We understand that each of these cells contains many of what I call ultra sophisticated Molecular machines. I mean the level of sophistication and Precision is not only mind-boggling, but breathtaking It's like another universe down there and I guess Rumi was right when he said do not feel alone because the entire universe is inside of you But suffice it to say that when one understands this level of complexity of Precision of sophistication of harmony That happens at that molecular level It becomes pretty difficult to dismiss the idea that hey, there's an intelligent design that work here in fact Many prominent scientists who used to believe in Darwinism now embrace or rather reject the idea that evolution accounts for all the species that we see and Instead embrace the intelligent design theory now the difference between that intelligent design model and the Raylian intelligent design model is That these scientists will define the designer as the singular God that we know so This is just taking us back to the Creationism by a God theory Whereas in the Raylian model of intelligent design we're talking about designers and I insist on the plurality that means That life a group of scientists human scientists Came here on earth at a time when there was no life and Through the use of DNA and genetic engineering Scientifically engineered all life forms on earth including humans whom they created in their image as the Bible says now One aspect that I find perhaps the most beautiful about this explanation is that This group of humans who came here on earth as the video outlined was composed of scientists artists men women and representatives of every Original seven races, so suddenly We no longer have this Male white God model, but we have a pluralistic Explanation Both genders we have a mixture of scientists and artists because you really need the artists to create the beauty and not just make it scientific and Anybody now on earth can look at this model and look at the sky and identify with one of the creators So this is a in a nutshell the Raylian message and I Hope that you will have the ability one day or any time soon to read rails book and make your own opinion Because as I said earlier the idea is not to convince or recruit People but just to put the information out Even if after reading the book you think after all it's a great science fiction book at least you'll understand who the Elohim are and Why we find it so important to? Reach our third goal Which is building an embassy or the third temple in Jerusalem to welcome the Elohim back on earth And as they told rail they will come back with all the prophets as announced by every religion on earth Now I said this was the third most important point or goal The second goal obviously is to spread that message all around the world in preparation for the arrival of the Elohim on earth But that can only happen if we continue to spread What our first goal is which is love The Elohim cannot come back on earth if there are still wars if there's still violence They want to feel that we are capable as a human race No matter what our differences are to get along to work together and To prepare for that fantastic day when they will officially return to earth So it's simple maybe too simple but It's in simplicity. I think that you can reach out the maximum number of people Because and that's how the Elohim wanted it. They didn't want a messenger to spread a very complex and and complicated message Because in our organization we have people from all walks of life all professions all genders Sexualities That's why it's so attractive to many of the young generation you know who no longer seemed to find What they're looking for in terms of existential answers to our very existence here on earth and The other thing is the Ruralian movement is 100% pro science So we have nothing to do with mysticism Because at the end of the day science The role of science is to demystify and only through this demystification process can we understand the nature of things Only through this demystification process Can we understand where we human beings fit in the big picture? But it's gonna be a long road before the Elohim come those There's gonna be a lot happening in terms of our society Since 1945 We entered a critical phase in the development of this humanity. We entered the age of science after the explosion of the atomic bombs over Eroshima and three days later over Nagasaki That's when the Elohim started being concerned. That's when a lot in fact a lot of UFO sightings have been reported near nuclear test sites After these explosions because they were concerned with what we will be able to do with our technology Just like a parent a parent would be Watching his child or her child play with a loaded gun if you will and at the same time be powerless Because they don't want to come unless we invite them and the embassy is the invitation So now whether or not our society will evolve into a world post-human or a combination of humans and intelligent artificial intelligent Computers or machines really remains it's entirely up to us To decide what we're going to do with the novel technologies, but the most important is to not be afraid Because at the end of the day, I think all of us can benefit from all the new technologies that are on the horizon And that are bound to change our lives forever if and only if These technologies are used altruistically rather than only for special interest groups and when we Start to understand the potential benefits of science when we start to Not fear science because our first reaction to any novel technology is always to react with fear and apprehension But once we truly understand the benefits of technologies and Understand that you know, we can save lives we can Create life we can prolong life we can improve our quality of life with those technologies That's going to be marvelous There is so much more to say about this organization namely the notion of scientific immortality I'd be happy to address that according to the message that rail received Through human cloning Which rail also wrote a fascinating book Expounding on a vision of a future where technologies really Help us go where we should go in the peaceful and responsible manner But I will stop here and thank you again for being here We have time. Yes, we have time for about three questions. I think I'm gonna You first and then Lincoln I Have a lot of questions, so it's hard to choose but who basically to That strike me as the most important So is there any information about the mistake that they made up there on their own planets? The genetic mistake that they made is there any information about that and second is So I always was in favor of all this astronaut theories, you know, I think it's very plausible And it's it's a beautiful explanation to why nature is so beautiful I think it's very beautiful explanation to that that if there are designers But then what strikes me? Is What's happening on their planet? Is it not beautiful at all that they took up on the experiments of like making all this? colors and beautiful shapes here, so this two questions To the first question which Had to do with the mistakes. Yes They don't really expand too much except to say what you saw in the video that that's what really prompted them to go and seek out Another planet on which they would create life and it almost sounds to me like there's this Embedded Desire it's almost in in us in our code to want to create life to want to explore You know our solar system our galaxy Knowledge is infinite and We are at a crossroads right now in terms of whether we're going to use You know technologies for destructive or constructive purposes It so happens that on their planet the mistakes that happened was Consequential and that's what the majority of the population Voted for them to stop their Experimentations all together or just to go on another planet and this is one thing we have to keep in mind is that as we evolve in our scientific knowledge of molecular genetics for instance our space program Evolves as well right now. We're just limited to the confines of the moon for instance And now we're sending probes to Mars, etc. But as far as man A space explorations. This is also evolving So it seems like there's a parallel to be drawn as as far as scientific progress and progress in terms of you know Exploring a space but before I get to the second question. There's a really interesting Law that the LHM shared with Royale. It's called the it's a cosmic law in which That says every time a civilization reaches a point where they're capable through their technology to travel in Space it also means that they've discovered energies enabling them to self-destruct if they misuse that technology So what are we gonna do? Are we are we mature enough to use this technology to our advantage to explore space because it's possible It's bound to happen, you know if especially if we create ethics committees that are so Controlling Some technologies are bound to go underground and if you now have no control. It's it's more Concerning if you will so if we misuse technology and make mistakes like they did It's very possible that we'll be forced to go on another planet if we don't destroy ourselves now the second question which had to do with The beauty that we see here what's going on on their planet They'll him explain that their planet is in our galaxy But not on our solar system and they their planet as they call it is the planet of eternal life where They can live on average 1,000 up to 1,000 years and then use an advanced human cloning technique combined with the technique of accelerated growth process We in which just before they died they upload their personality character Memories all their individual traits onto a computer then recreate a clone of themselves much younger in the younger body Then we download that information so that the new Individual doesn't have to start from scratch because it wouldn't make any sense to call it eternal life If each time you're recreated you have to start from scratch so this accumulation of knowledge and This technology enabling them to be eternals also Has to do with the fact that there are 25,000 years according to the message more advanced technologically more advanced than we are You your you've mentioned how the future from a Raelian perspective is open to us to to determine What does Raelianism take any positions on maybe what kinds of technologies we should pursue in the future Being that it's open for example I'm wondering in particular would they would Raelianism be opposed to the use of evolutionary algorithms as a creative mechanism going into the future I Think the only technology that Raelianism Would be against is nuclear energy anything that has to do with potential destruction of the planet all other technologies were pro and We have to understand that Creating these ethical committees can be fine to a certain extent to make sure there's no abuse of any new technology, but As long as it doesn't slow down progress, but the nuclear I mean the biological Weapons of mass destruction nuclear weapons of mass destruction is what we are more concerned about It's what we Raelians or more and I'm sure other groups are more concerned about it's what the Elohim are more concerned about because we could blow this planet in at the press of a button right and They don't want that to happen but at the same time they want us to they give us free will right to decide our own destiny and This is why spreading love and consciousness and awareness and changing perhaps the certain values like sharing Certain values that really promote acceptance of the differences among humans which will I think help the process of Reaching that stage when the Elohim see that we're ready for them to return Okay, last question from Randall here It may be a two-part question And I just wanted to say that I'm glad that you briefly addressed the matter of the cloning and how to Upload and go into a clone because I was wondering about that when we talked earlier But now I've got a new question, which is because you mentioned being careful about technologies that could destroy the earth and Then you mentioned ethical committees and things like that But it sounds from how you described the religion itself that it kind of teaches from the Elohim That every time when there was a law that was put down to not do something that they always ended up going ahead and doing it Anyway, which is almost a teaching of well You can have ethics commissions, but someone's gonna do it anyway So you might as well get prepared for the fact that it's going to happen That is one thing that it seems to me the teaching is and then the other which is maybe just more of a I don't know if you find it funny or not But it sounds to me like there's a lot in realism that actually mirrors if you if you're a fan of the recent Battlestar Galactica series And you've seen that they they move from planet to planet and everything that has happened will happen again And they have uploading in it and everything it just it sounds like was there a railing on the In the group that made that series by any chance. I don't believe so. I'm not sure which series you're referring to but it's It's nice and in reference to your first question which had to I'm sorry, which had to do with Ethics committees, yes Yes, I think that if there if there's always a potential risk I mean for abusing a technology and for it to go regardless underground even if it's If it's accepted by the majority because I think at the same time we have to be very careful about people who want to Take, you know a science into their own hands and just start, you know performing experiments and not Be sort of regulated right in terms of how far they can go with their experiment experimentation Yes, there will always be people who want to Push the envelope and and and do things differently and and not listen to whatever committee is out there Outlining the regulations at the same time. We have to They're explaining that their model of society is based on geniocracy where Only geniuses only people who have the ability to Make decisions who have a certain level of intelligence can actually decide how to Guide their society And and how to use science for to make sure that everybody can benefit, right? Because right now we have a political system. That's more Mediocratic if you will then democratic and The politicians really are not serving the people we elect people, but they're not really for our own Best interest they're very Selfishly oriented and and you know bought out by special interest groups, etc So the political system actually is very flawed the way it is right now with only there's basically only two parties Here anyway in America We need some fresh blood. We need some young blood. We need some new ideas. We need some pro science individuals not Individuals that allow their religious beliefs to come in the way You know of Legislations for instance, so there's a lot of change that we're gonna changes that we're going to go through and it's a step-by-step process and We're just hoping we're gonna step in the right direction and one that will again be leading the world population to world peace and and And universal love if you will. Thank you. Thank you very much
