Meet Rael, the ambassador for extraterrestrials

No, I am not referring to a science fiction movie or a book. I am referring to a person, who claims to meet the aliens. This would not have been a matter of consideration if the statement came from a complete lunatic or an isolated individual.

But the fact is, the person who claims to be abducted by the aliens has successfully built an ever-growing follower base of more than 70,000 people in 97 countries.

Claude Vorilhon, now known as Rael, a former French racing journalist, is the initiator and the promoter of ‘Raelian movement’. ‘

Raelism, also known as ‘Raelianism’ or ‘Raelian movement’ is a philosophy, a concept, a belief. The followers of this movement believe that the aliens are the ancestors of all life on earth.

These followers refer to alien as ‘Elohim’. Being a Raelian means that a person believes in the fact that all life on Earth was created by the ‘Elohim’; a society who came to Earth 25,000 years ago specifically to create life.

After the ‘first encounter with the Alien’ in the December, 1973; Claude claims to have the new detailed explanation of the origins of life forms on Earth and information on how to organise the future.

After six consecutive encounters, Claude accepted the mission given to him and started working as the messenger of the ‘Elohim’. By the year 2007, Claude created a cult of 65,000 members.

Like scientology, ‘Raelianism’ is considered a ‘UFO religion’ with similar theories on intelligent design and extraterrestrial life. Currently, Raelianism is world’s largest UFO religion (numerically).

On May 9, Glenn Carter, the man responsible for the UK’s Raelian movement population, revealed that there was more to Raelian belief than alien ancestors.

He explained, Rael (Claude’s Raelian name) is their messenger, who is here to tell the world that people of this world are in fact an intentional scientific creation.

According to him, the main goal of Raelians at this stage is to create an embassy in order to facilitate and welcome the return of the Elohim to Earth. Currently, this extraterrestrial embassy is being built at Jerusalem.

Raelians are famous for welcoming sexual freedom and scientific development. They even claim to have done human cloning successfully in 2002.

An American woman underwent the cloning procedure that lead to birth of a daughter named Eve. This claimed instance explains the possibility of becoming eternal.

For more than 30 years, Rael has been travelling relentlessly while making a vow not to own anything but to give everything towards welcoming the Elohim in the extraterrestrial embassy, which is to be built before 2035.
