Raelians- From Theist to UFOlogist in a single bound.

 General History:
          The Raelian Movement was founded in France following the contact between an extra-terrestrial and Rael on the 13th December 1973. The extra-terrestrial, who called himself Yahweh Elohim dictated a message addressed to all humanity and promised to return openly, bringing all the prophets of the past as predicted in the religions, if we establish an official embassy for them. They explained how it was they who started all the religions as a way of progressively educating humanity's level of love and consciousness, though humans inevitably ended up by distorting the message and using the religion for political gain.            Now that we are capable of understanding our creators rationally, with love and respect instead of fear and mystification, they would like to provide us with a new spiritual message designed to open our minds and create a paradise on earth.
         This message is the final chapter of all the world religions, it is the key which enables everyone to understand that what we thought was god is in fact people just like us but more advanced, who love us very much and have been waiting for us to reach a stage where we can finally understand them. The vehicle for this new message was called the Raelian Movement. 

A] To inform without convincing: The Raelian Movement values open and honest dialogue. It wishes to inform people, not convince them, about the Messages of the Elohim.

B] To build an embassy: The Elohim have asked Rael to establish an embassy where they will meet with our political and scientific leaders and give us the benefit of their wisdom and technology. This embassy will be in internationally recognised neutral territory with the protection and diplomatic immunity that all states are entitled to.

C] To catalyse a society adapted to the future, not the past, based on the values of love, peace, freedom, individuality, pleasure and fulfillment.

By establishing a world currency, a non corrupt world government whose global vision can put science at the service of humanity, we could eradicate all famine, disease and suffering and eventually eradicate money itself, to finally bring about the world of active fulfillment and leisure which we were designed for.

Once humanity has become more tolerant to new ideas and therefore to new people, less threatening with our weapons, more rational in our beliefs and human friendly in our lifestyle, then our parents from space can come down openly in the embassy built for them by the Raelian Movement, without danger of provoking fear, hostility or renewed religious fanaticism. Just as any parent wishes to benefit their children with the best of their knowledge, culture and love, so do the Elohim and from their embassy they shall do the same for us. If they see that we use it wisely, they shall progressively give us the benefit of their advance.

The activities of the Raelian Movement are therefore twofold : 

i) The first is to inform everyone on the globe, without trying to convince, about the Elohim and their revolutionary message. The large number of active members combined with efficient organisation provides not only an engine of publicity, but also represents a considerable political power capable of catalysing social change (see Charter). 

ii) The second is to put into practice the teachings of our parents from space, learn to be ourselves and enjoy the here and now. By getting together at the numerous parties, activities, events and seminars, Raelians can develop in a culture which they have chosen to create, a culture of fearless non-conformism where love, respect and fulfilment are the only rules and where sincerity, sensuality and individuality can blossom. 

Article 1
Every human being has a right to happiness. And his/her goal should always revolve around bringing more understanding, compassion, and love to others. Any groups main preoccupation must be to see to it that its members needs are always fulfilled. Therefore, humans‚ well being must become a priority in all spheres of their activities.

Article 6
Awakening the mind and the body go hand in hand, and an education based on techniques of meditation as well as the development of the senses must be applied and offered to all so that every member of humanity can develop and grow and so that respect and awareness becomes part of everyone's marvellous potential. With the greatest respect for everyone‚s philosophical and religious beliefs, these teachings must be non-religiously based.

Article 7
Everyone has the right, during his/her life, to have enough to eat, wear decent clothes, have a place to sleep, and the right to receive an education even if he/she does not work. Anyone who works has the right to luxury, an indispensable tool to human progress. The degree of luxury would have to be proportional to the work done and/or to the contributions made to humanity.

Article 9
Each person has the right to develop and blossom according to his/her own desires and tastes without any racial, cultural, religious or sexual restrictions whatsoever. Public authorities must encourage everyone‚s creativity and, for that matter, subsidise everyone‚s initiatives, be they scientific, religious, cultural or artistic.

Article 12
An ethical committee must be set up to insure that the texts and practices of all religions ˆ including the dominant religions ˆ obey the rules of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights first, and then the Universal Charter of Human Rights. If any religion does not respect both declarations, it must be taken to court and tried especially if its texts and practices represent a threat for humanity. Any religious or ideological movement, be it a minority or not, has the right to be recognised as official even if its values greatly differ from the "moral standards" of any given society.

Article 16
Society must create and maintain special places with high standard of living conditions in order to take care of very sick people and criminals. The death penalty must be abolished everywhere.

Article 18- ((This Ones The BEST! -Eric))
A World Government must be in place quickly and democratically. This government will focus mainly on Humanitarianism so that the well-being of all humans will become its main concern as opposed to greed and power (as is currently the case).
     a) This government will see to it that Human Rights are implemented and respected in all regions of the Earth. It will impose sanctions on regions that do not respect these Rights and will severely punish the ones responsible for whatever actions constitute a violation.
     b) This government will set up a World army to maintain Peace everywhere. This will guarantee a true, lasting Peace on the entire planet. Furthermore, a worldwide unconditional disarmament policy must be immediately in place.
     c) This government will engage in a fair distribution to all humans of all the planet‚s resources and this, without any racial, cultural, or religious discrimination.
     d) This government will set up a world currency as a temporary measure designed to favour and trigger the eventual and permanent removal of the need of money and all the economic depravities based on it.
     e) In order to guarantee communication between everyone on the planet, this government will also supervise and implement the teaching of a world language.
