Let’s first look at the word Lord to better understand the word messiah. One discovers that the word Lord - seigneur in French - comes from the Latin senior, meaning “the oldest”. According to the vocabulary of the middle-ages, the “Lord” was a person who ruled over a province. The “God” in whom The Bible would make us believe is eternal, is obviously “the oldest”, thus the “Lord” ruling the Earth. Through time, the word was transformed, and the Catholic religion adopted “my Lord” – “Monseigneur” in French, equivalent to the English word sire." },{ "n": 13, "speaker": "Narrator", "refId": "LWTE-3:13", "text": "When the revolution came – in France – removing all the Lords, unfortunately it spared those within the religion, which is why within it, we still address bishops etc., as “My Lord” or “Monseigneur”." },{ "n": 14, "speaker": "Narrator", "refId": "LWTE-3:14", "text": "So then, messiah means “chosen by God”, and as we know God is a bad translation of the word Elohim which means “those who came from the sky”, so we can therefore say that, in fact, messiah means “the one chosen by those who came from the sky”. As we have already seen, apocalypse, from the Greek, means “revelation”, and so we can write clearly:\n\nHe told me that I had been chosen by those who came from the sky for the Revelation." },{ "n": 15, "speaker": "Narrator", "refId": "LWTE-3:15", "text": "It’s all clear.

What is a cult? Derived from the Latin cultus meaning “tribute rendered to a God”, but we would then say “tribute rendered to the creators”, since Elohim is a plural. The telepathic contact on Sunday mornings at 11 o’clock, the obligation of thinking at least once a day about the Elohim (Book 2, pg. 175), the obligation of inviting the regional Guide at least once a year to one’s table so that he can talk about the messages, the monthly meeting with the regional Guide, the annual meeting on the 6th of August to celebrate the entry into the Age of Apocalypse - all of those ceremonies could be qualified as a cult, for each one of them is designed to pay tribute to our creators, at regular intervals, alone or in groups." },{ "n": 34, "speaker": "Narrator", "refId": "LWTE-3:34", "text": "Even if the Raelians do not believe in a “God”, they still recognize Jesus as a messenger sent by our creators, just as they do Moses, Buddha, Mohammed, Joseph Smith, and all the other great prophets who have lived on this Earth, and await their return in the company of the Elohim as the scriptures have predicted. The Raelian believes in the deeper meaning of the scriptures, more particularly the biblical Genesis, but also in the Koran and many other religious books, all their writings being stripped of their mystical meaning by the messages of the Elohim." },{ "n": 35, "speaker": "Narrator", "refId": "LWTE-3:35", "text": "Therefore the Raelian ignores the human laws which have been grafted to the religious writings, these laws having been made by Men, so as to enforce respect for governments and laws which were purely human.\n\nThe tribute which we render to the Elohim could be called a “cult”, why not? The cult in itself is not wrong, so long as it is not performed by people who think of the Elohim as being divinities, but rather by people who love them sincerely for the extraordinary act of love which they have accomplished in giving us life, and in leaving us free to progress by ourselves until such a time as we would be equal to them." },{ "n": 36, "speaker": "Narrator", "refId": "LWTE-3:36", "text": "There is no need to kneel down or to lie down with your face in the dirt, under the stars, but rather look up at the sky, standing tall, proud of being conscious of the privilege of living in this day and age when we are able to understand and show love for our creators, to love them for the fantastic potential they gave us to create life by mastering and transforming minute particles of matter at our level, to raise towards the galaxies, a forehead full of love and hope, the hope to one day meet those to whom we owe our existence and the fact to be able to understand why we are here and what our mission is in the infinite of space and time." },{ "n": 37, "speaker": "Narrator", "refId": "LWTE-3:37", "text": "Until recently, Humanity was worshipping the creators who had created each man with the ability to understand the creators, so now Man must understand the creators, so as to be able to love them even more." },{ "n": 38, "speaker": "Narrator", "refId": "LWTE-3:38", "text": "If Mankind uses science negatively, and a fatal nuclear cataclysm occurs, all those people who will have worked to prevent this catastrophe by trying to make Mankind aware of its errors in the name of the Elohim, those people shall be saved by our creators. Those people who have faith in our fathers will be rewarded by the Elohim who have already provided access to eternal life on their planet, where all the great prophets sent to Earth to awaken Humanity are presently living. The word faith comes from the Latin fides and means “commitment, link”. So, it is therefore possible to not “believe without understanding”, while, at the same time, giving your trust to the Elohim, having faith in them, because those who have the intelligence to have faith in them will be rewarded regardless. While trying to prevent Humanity from committing the irrevocable error, a Raelian has faith in the Elohim, because he knows that they will not forget him in the event of a fatal cataclysm." },{ "n": 39, "speaker": "Narrator", "refId": "LWTE-3:39", "text": "If there had been a newspaper in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago, it would have reported on the unemployment, the energy crisis due to a shortage of slaves, and also of the ever increasing cost of living due to the exorbitant Roman taxes. These headlines would have fed the front-page of all the newspapers, if they existed, and would have fed all the conversations. Then there would have been a few lines written by the official “scientists” of the day, or an editor seeking recognition, on this false prophet claiming to be “the king of the Jews”, and it would be suggested to the authorities that this man be arrested immediately because he is dragging a hoard of credulous people, his “followers”, around with him.

They also obstruct the truth by allowing Man to believe in the religion of traditions, which permit the great fundamentals of our rotting society to survive a few years longer, which promote and protect the family as a tax-payer, as a stagnant closed system, and a strangler of personalities, which uphold the nation which feeds the political men, who are capable of doing anything to continue to get their pay.

They hired actors who would pretend to be subjects in an experiment on the potential of human violence. Then through classified ads, they recruited people willing to participate in an experiment to explore the possibilities of the human brain. The people were placed one at a time at a desk equipped with different levers which were supposed to send electrical charges to a cubicle in which actors pretend to receive the charge. There were thirty levers in all, which could supposedly each send out a charge of 15 volts and so altogether could send charges of 15 to 450 volts. They were placed from left to right, and indicated whether the electric charge would be light, moderately strong or very strong. On the other hand, the actor could see the lights light up on the panel in front of him showing the intensity of the shock he was supposed to have received from the electric chair to which he was tied, and he could therefore act accordingly. If the shock was light, he would simulate a light reaction, if it was moderate, he would jump a little more and give out a little cry, then he would protest by saying that he did not wish to continue the experiment; if the intensity was increased, he would scream and beg to be released, and finally when the maximum voltage of 450 volts was reached, he would pretend to collapse. The shocks were sent to the actors by those people who had been recruited in classified ads. However, the recruits did not realize that they were actors, and thought that they were sending real shocks to real people. The actor was asked a simple question by a scientist, and when he answered incorrectly, the classified ads recruits were to let them know by giving them an electrical shock. This same scientist was urging the sender to increase the voltage consistently, without listening to the supplications of the receiver, saying to the sender that this experiment would help science to progress immensely, and therefore all of humanity.\n\nThis experiment, in which the observer was really the one being observed, was repeated many times, so that statistics could be established to know how many people would go as far as killing other people in the name of scientific progress. It was also conducted in many countries, so that the results could be compared and analyzed." },{ "n": 48, "speaker": "Narrator", "refId": "LWTE-3:48", "text": "Contrary to the expectations of the scientists who had put together this experiment, and the psychologists whom they had consulted, it was not just a minority of people who were unbalanced enough to go as far as pushing the 450 volt lever. In the US, 60 per cent of the people obeyed the scientist, who told them not to listen to the cries of those whom they were electrocuting, and continued to administer shocks, even when those being shocked could no longer say anything, which itself counted as an incorrect answer; and this three times in a row, after which a new electrocutor was selected. This experiment was also conducted in many European countries, where over 70 per cent of the people went as far as the maximum voltage.

They all thought they were doing something for the good of Humanity. The first ones were getting rid of an “illuminated” man who wanted to overthrow their traditions, and others felt that people who lived differently were surely responsible for the bad crops or the plague or even the economic crisis.

They are responsible for their actions! In every part of Nazi Germany, men, women and children were tortured because people were following orders, and according to them the only man responsible for all of this would be Hitler. It would be much too easy if it were so! For example, there are hundreds of nuclear missiles ready to be launched from France and destined for other countries where thousands of women and children are living, and if the massacre happened, would the only man held to be responsible for it be the President of the Republic? Of course not! Each man holding the power to kill others is personally responsible for the utilization of this power.

The UN could impose these observers on all the armies of the world, and then a military man could not be sentenced until his disobedience is judged by a council of these observers, to investigate if the order which he refused to obey could have constituted a crime against Humanity. Because it is in this way that people are forced to execute orders of which they disapprove; they are afraid of being punished if they don’t obey. They prefer to kill innocent people or to torture them, rather than be imprisoned or killed themselves. Refuse to bend to authority! Be the real heroes of humanity by preferring to be imprisoned or killed yourselves rather than laying into innocent people. When you have motivated millions of people so that they act in this way, those giving the orders will see an army of people refusing to carry out the crimes which they ordered, and then it will be time to punish those who dare give such orders, hoping they will be listened to." },{ "n": 74, "speaker": "Narrator", "refId": "LWTE-3:74", "text": "Men have had enough energy to refuse non-unionized work, like before 1936, where the all-powerful bosses exploited humans like cattle, even if it meant death for many of them at the hands of a policeman, so-called “protector of the law”.

Unfortunately for them, they are too late in noticing my presence. If I was worried in the first two years of my mission, I am now no longer worried. In the beginning, if I had been sent to jail, I could not have carried out my mission on Earth. Fortunately, the powers at hand smiled when they saw this long-haired young man who spoke of flying-saucers and Martians with pink antennae... Now they understand that the contents of the messages from our creators are revolutionary, questioning and uprooting everything which they have used to gain power: religion, politics, the armed forces, work, the family, the country, etc. So now they are trying to stop me by using their “justice” as they used it against my brother Jesus." },{ "n": 75, "speaker": "Narrator", "refId": "LWTE-3:75", "text": "There is always a justice to justify the worst injustices.
