A street pulsing with life is running like a
river, but just stop anyone and you blow out the river to
impenetrable, insoluble, turbid splashes!
Just speak to the human you have stopped; unless he or she is
ahead of time drastically resistant or permeable to that which
you tell, you in 95% of cases will have in front of you an
enigmatic splash. Are you listened to? The listener more
often than not is just an imitative creature, who has learned
how to look interested. Are you repelled? You cannot know
whether you are repelled by someone that does not have time, or
someone that does not like you, or someone whose concerns or own
self keep away from anything.
Are you aware of whatever makes your apostolate that
impenetrant?
This is so because the world is stiffened by its secrets.

The world is secret and, trust me, it is secret
to the Creator likewise. Had the mankind ever been docile
and transparent to Him, He would have never sent out prophets
to them and tried restoring His Family ever since Adam's
defection (Rev of Arès 1/1-5, vii/7-13). Talking like
that rings sassy and even offensive in the ears of religious
adulators, but this is that which the global situation puts
forward: With everything that is happening, it is as though the
too much loving Father had conditioned Himself for the Child
(13/5) that He had made man, His Image and
Likeness (Genesis 1/26-27) by sharing His Freedom
(10/10) Attribute with him. Why does The
Revelation of Arès start its paraenesis by sadly reminding
of Adam's disastrous rebelliousness (Rev of Arès 2/1-5),
after its severe rude remark towards the clergyman that it
lectures, its very personal thunderous introduction versus me (1/1-12)?
It is because Adam is the restive root of the huge Tree
of Creation, the created rebel Child (13/5) who pollutes
its sap everywhere up to the infinity.
The mission of the Arès pilgrims is not to found a new religion or
mysticism, but it is to spread the True (Rev of Arès
xxxiv/1-4) and to harvest apostles of the True.
The True advises man to become penitent(8/6)
by learning how to love, forgive, make peace, free
himself from all prejudices, and reminds the masses that they
devote themselves to misfortune if they keep on turning down or
ignoring the Creator's sublime Design (28/27) by
retaining part of their pre-genesic animal life, which is
impulsive albeit exciting, indeed, but also complex, painful
and fatal.
Secret begins early. Children and teenagers begin keeping their
thoughts secret when they are unheard or misunderstood. Such was
the case for me. After my father died in March 1942, when I was in
my thirteenth year, I as a teenager was going to live with my
elder sister, Cécile, who would soon become accustomed to keep her
little secrets, which she shared with nobody ever, and my mother,
Lucie. It became increasingly clear that we my mother and I
disagreed about almost everything, so I began keeping my thoughts
non-shareable within me for my adolescence years. My nature was
not secret, though. Later on, we my wife Christiane and I would
have no secrets for each other and raise our three daughters
ensuring that they would never be afraid to express their feelings
and viewpoints, whatsoever. That desire of openness and
straightforwardness under one roof permitted us in contrast to our
candor to realize the sort of cover-up that used to stifle life
nearly everywhere the world over. In particular, secrecy, that
obscures or disguises the thoughts of people whom the apostle
approaches in the street, is a very big problem, because it delays
knowing the other one and finding the means to be listened to by
him or her.
Only an human being that gives up his or her secrets can re-create
the world and open up to the future. Nowadays, in order to elude
Big Brother and his slaves, human beings have made themselves
puppets, the secrets of which pull the strings; they have made the
world a savage tight absurdity. As for the apostle, he should
strive to liberate from his or her secret thoughts and voids the
man he or she meets, all the more the proselyte. The apostle
cannot lose heart against the innumerable human who has come to
put lampshades on his or her conscience and conceal his or her
secret thoughts and voids. That human, who however may be a ripe
ear of corn, is unfit for penitence ; he or she
cannot receive anything from the world and give anything to he
world; he or she is just a signpost in the middle of the desert,
which is to be transplanted in the middle of the Field (Rev
of Arès 5/2-6, 13/7, 14/1, etc.). Our mission has to be
aware of this problem, which is not insuperable, but which is
difficult, cryptic, recondite, and which requires a relentless
search for the right Light.
Egotism, mistrust, hyperprudence, apprehension, embarrassment,
caution, the citadel of habits, disregard, apathy and
even courtesy at times are secrets which inhibit freedom, and
which mummify (Rev of Arès xLix/7)
conscience. The sui generis conscience, when double-locked, can do
nothing for the world's conscience (polone,
xxxix/12-13) and that is how the world is dying.
Secrecy stiffens man more than haughtiness. When a human cannot
any more share himself, he or she stop existing. It is impossible
to give back life to Life if you do not send to hell all
that makes a being a non-being, that is, secrets, whatever they
may be. A human being cannot change his or her life or
find joy and merriment (30/11) if he or she
fails to cast out his or her secrets, that is, the citadel
we have to lay siege to.
The memory of the beginnings tells the story of the Early
Christians before the regulatory Church appears and puts them in
chains. Among other features of the early Christianity were the
reading of prophets, the sharing of means of sustenance,
prayer of joy and hope instead of the vested, begging, grim Jewish
prayer, the fraternal communion, the practice of pouring out their
hearts (Acts of the Apostle 19/18) so as to unload the
secret thoughts, which poison the relationship life. To get rid of
one's secret thoughts was not really novel in the Jewish society
(Books of Baruch, Daniel), but in the early Christendom
it was to become a practice that would make general penitence
fit to win over the people (Acts of the Apostles 2/47).s
