The Revelation of Arès...the surge of the existential
|
The
Revelation
of Ares is ridiculed or ignored by all the men who figure that
mankind knows everything
likely to be known.
But The Revelation of Ares is the force for whoever will recover
Life
(24/5) by reviving that desert
world of ours with absolute spiritual love
(7/5, 12/7, 32/3),
intelligence (32/5) and freedom
(10/10).
The Revelation of Ares is
what inspires the Ares Pilgrims (see #0017us)
with their specific faith and apostolate. That is both
a truth and an
understatement, though. The
Revelation of Ares actually ought to be seen in its
existential light.
Worry (sometimes dread), complaint (sometimes moaning), disappointment
(sometimes despair), suffering (sometimes torture or death), are the thorn
hedges and barren rockslides (14/1) which have
hurt and killed
man since Adam preferred his
own system (2/1-5) to the
creative Force
(VII/5). The 21th century's man is more aware of his problems,
suffers
from them still more, though. The
Revelation of Ares has given the solution to
them. Not a book by a thinker, an essayist or a philosopher, but a book
issued from the initial supreme Destiny
of the universe, the very Destiny
that gave man freedom of good
and evil. A book to
join the
great spiritual body that the Veda, the Bible and the Quran had
belonged in.
From the very moment when its first part was published, 1974, The
Revelation of Ares showed the reasons why man's hardships have
remained
unconquered and been considered as inevitable and insolvable, which
religion and her atheistic colleague politics, the powers and their laws,
have nursed
whether intentionally or unintentionally. The
solution to it is plain, but requires the rebirth of the soul (17)
or ha (XXXIX/5-11), the refloating of
a daring, creative, apostolic vessel
(or ship) (17/3, 18/1-4)
not launched or consecrated by some
religion or politics, but by no more than man's own hope.
That vessel over the Sea that has for ages kept man
parted from the
happy world forgotten, to be rediscovered, The Revelation of Ares
names
after her crew, the small remnant.
A small remnant of men and
women (26/1, 29/2), believers
or non-believers, who wilfully change
their
lives (30/11) by forcing themselves to be good, righteous, true,
could
possibly do without the system some day, regain inner absolute freedom,
good, peace, intelligence, and then later on infinite extension
of
lifetime, which thus will become Life
out of likeness to the Maker (Genesis
1/27-28).
Living on within the world the small
remnant, once
they are many enough, will go as far as to change the world (28/7).
So The Revelation of Ares
brings back into the world the only possible
recipe for victory over evil, essentially and inevitably a spiritual
victory, by no means religious or political or scientific. Why, given
this condition of
necessity, has The Revelation of
Ares stayed almost invisible to the
world so far? There are many causes for it, on which a blog can't
dwell, but here are the two main causes. First, the book has been
supernaturally revealed in a society where supernatural stories trigger
off laughter and shrugs of the shoulders. Second, it has appeared in a
time of disparagement and smear, of zapping and impatience, of an
endless pursuit of immediate effects and effortless results. The
Revelation of Ares is no difficult reading, but it emerged
profound in days of superficiality when man is used to cutting short
everything, even his concern for his own fate.
When the mockers finish mocking, a fact will stay on, a once seen and
heard physical fact, a fact that the
pigheaded doubters, often religious people whose theologies will be
thwarted, will forever keep unable to prove untrue. As I was the only
witness they say I was under delusion, but had there been twenty
witnesses, they would say they were under collective delusion, and had
the supernatural fact been filmed, they would allude to special visual
effects, and so on. In Ares (spelled with an e grave in French: Arès),
a small town in coastal Gironde, southwestern France, from January 15
to April 13, 1974, I was visited by Jesus altogether unlooked-for and
in a place no less unexpected: a house under repair. He gave me a long
message from the Maker. And then, from September 17 to November 22,
1977, the Maker himself in a chapel close by was manifesting and giving
me the continuation of the message in an utter continuity of meaning,
but a completely different style. In 1982, after a five-year uneventful
span of time, as
it seemed to me likely that the supernatural fact was really over, I
published my testimony under the title The Revelation of Ares. Thirty-three
years after Jesus' first visit I am still
unaware of the
reason why a man like me of little merit, deprived of mysticity and
deficient in
personal abilities to spread such a message, was selected as the
witness to that Call.
Among all of the Scriptures that have made up the Creator's huge
revelation ever since Genesis only a few have an outstanding globality.
The
Revelation of Ares belongs among them. It can join the Veda, the
Bible
and the Quran; it can even, in a way, be placed above these
millennia-old books, because it illuminates them with a long forgotten
Light. Stating that it amends their interpetations would be beneath it,
as it actually animates or rather reanimates them with the very
strongest Life. The Revelation of
Ares does not ruin anything; it makes Truth move ahead.
If you skim through The Revelation
of Ares, you seem to be reading
religious reiterations, but if you grow more alert, you begin
discovering its amazing original and global sides. The reader passes
through a forest of concepts, which are just so many mini-revelations,
some of them fascinating when read apart, but the utmost meaning of the
book is not understood until The
Revelation of Ares has been read
throughout. Salvation, personal and global, the solution to evil, is in
the penitent's penitence and
nowhere else. Religion has
distorted penitence into
remorse and self-punishment, but The Revelation of Ares
restores penitence, a word
long gone forbidding, to its real meaning, a
thrilling dynamic one: the quest for Good
and happiness. Evil can be
curbed and then eradicated (the
Beast will lay dying 22/14), if
absolute Good reappears
gradually through love, forgiveness,
peace,
absolutely wanted and applied by every man and woman of the small
remnant in his or her absolute freedom
(10/10) also gained with a will,
for without absolute freedom
his or her absolute spiritual intelligence
(32/5) cannot re-emerge. Each penitent
is also a harvester, looks
for
and reaps every man sown (6/1, 14/1)
in seed of Good and prompts
him or her to be a penitent
and harvester in his or her
turn, and so
on, little by little, the world will
be changing (28/7). So The
Revelation of Ares brings about an apostolate or prophetic
mission
active, creative, patient (it will
take more than four generations
24/2). The process is likely to last centuries, but it secures light
and warmth (33/32) and even glory
(37/9) in the afterlife for every good man, whether a
believer or a nonbeliever (28/11).
So a world of
free individuals may be gradually substituting for the world of the
masses until the Day (31/8)
when even death will be conquered.
The Revelation of Ares
has inspired thousands to change
their lives
(30/11), become good men and new men, which religion or ethics
could not
make of them. On the other hand, like every Scripture, which keeps its
mystery, The Revelation of Ares
has inclined other people to
misinterpret it, but even these mistakes have helped diffuse it through
reductive conclusions and hodgepodges and innuendos about its witness's
"unhingement" or misunstanding or "misuse of his
position." In every case, The
Revelation of Ares has never left anybody
heedless, it has always stirred men or things. Nobody officially
mentions The Revelation of Ares in
order to safeguard "the nature of
things" and keep untouchable and revered the great monotheistic
religions (judaism,
christianity, islam) and the great atheist humanistic and
political trends. All the same, it has been 33 years influencing the
way general expectations are stated, which
have borrowed from it a lot of words and concepts that speeches and
sermons are
strewn with today.
The Revelation of Ares
does not found a religion, at all. Contrary to its
insincere critics' assertions, The
Revelation of Ares does not say that
only the people that get converted to it will be saved. All good
men, even atheists, are saved and will help to change and
save the world (28/7). It is not a book
"interesting" in a sense of "pleasant," because it forever makes the
mind think, but thereby makes man enjoy profundity again. Not only does
it go against the press's rationalistic, simplistic statements, but it
goes elsewhere, it is something altogether different, it takes us into
another sphere of ideas and expectations. Albeit a spiritual Word, if
ever, The
Revelation of Ares does not use the word spiritual and it uses
the word
faith only once, not in a sense of adherence or membership, but in a
sense of active, creative expectation.
The Revelation of Ares
speaks to each man, to the individuality, which
it divinizes, as it were, by freeing
it from the mediocrity of
generally accepted ideas and beliefs, which are mass ideas, and
restoring a sense of free
grandeur in each man (10/10).
Hence the lies and
untruths about The Revelation of Ares
and its witness spread by those
who hate it, or who hate its witness, or who hate both of them, and who
are annoyed by its liberating
strength. The Revelation of Ares
tells
man that he is completely free
to sink deeper and deeper into evil or
submission to evil or mediocrity, but that he'd better consider changing
his life (30/11)
and at the same time changing the
world
(28/7) before the sin of sins rains (38/2). The world is going
all the
more badly, the book reminds man, because the danger of evil has been
disappearing under the idea that evil will be solved by science, law
(which the book calls the law of the
rats XIX/24). Evil will never be
conquered but within each man's heart.
The Revelation of Ares
has a supernatural origin, but it feels so
realistic that it makes the reader forget about the supernatural.
Whenever it reminds us of the prophets
and the gospels, it does so in
order to make us move toward the future. It disintegrates,
disdogmatizes, dislegalizes. It offers a dialectic which will enable
every man to recreate his own individuality in complete freedom
by
gaining love and respect for
individualities of others. A man cannot
really love his neighbor=whole
mankind but by really finding his own
self. In our time of concern and confusion, when we are sort of feeling
the end of History, The Revelation
of Ares starts off another
History.
