Luke:
"I can't believe it."
Ioda:
"This is why you've failed."
 The man or woman in the doorway, whose head and
heart hold The Revelation
of Arès, and who besides may be a penitent in his
life and who
has a soul therefore,
but who hesitates to take the plunge, I tell,
"Be
an apostle! Make Good
happen;
you've got the power to do so!"
Penitence
builds
your soul, the vessel
(Rev of Arès 17/5) of Life, but do
not leave it drifting on the Sea; give
it a sail.
A penitent who does not harvest
is
a vessel without
a sail. The soul which
does not sail about cannot generate other souls; it
gets inlaid with the shellfish and seaweeds of fear and ends up a raft.
Give
up everything! Give up fear and uncertainties; leave your affairs, your
housework, your dishes, your odd-jobs, the letter you are writing, the
book you are reading, your worries. Leave your day-to-day existence!
Just be off for an hour, two hours, often, very often, and go n'
encounter people in the street; explain to them — in a way that becomes
you — that they are not just made of bone and flesh driven by politics,
religion and their law like dogs on a leash.
Tell
each human
you meet up that he or she is the image
and likeness of
a sublime Ideal, Whose child he or
she is… The
fatherless child, because
he or she has killed the Father Ideal
in his or her heart. The Father Ideal
however has left him or her the power to (re)create himself or herself,
but whether he or she does it or not is another matter. Neither
religion nor politics will do it for him or her. Tell him: "Loosen up!
You have to be absolutely free to find the Ideal—the Father, the
Eternal, the Maker, Life, Happiness, Love, call It what you want!"
Tell
humans, "There's nothing shameful about a heart hungry for that Ideal of Sanctity,
Might and Light (Rev of Arès 12/4). You
will regain Them by changing
your own life (30/11). Be
a penitent, that
is, love,
forgive, make peace, vitalize your heart's intelligence, set
yourself free from
all prejudices and harvest other penitents! So not
only will you find your salvation, but you
will help to change
the world (28/7)."
Do you regard
yourself as a
clumsy oaf? We all are. You do not know how to love the world and
speak to it with affection. But there is no compulsary exercise to love
and "no matter how clumsily I hug provided I can kiss!" said young
Albert Camus, who thought he was an unbeliever, but was unknowingly
going to appeal for penitence until
he died.
Humans cling on to the only
ideology they have left : the State, the law, science, and
religion for a few, because they have lost the Hand
and Voice of the
Ideal Sanctified,
Mighty and
dressed with Light,
they have let Them go and all they can do now is bark and meow along
with
religion, politics, the law. They do not have had anything else left,
they
think. They are wrong. They have the Ideal back to speak to
them in Arès on the French shore of the Atlantic.
Arès
is a place miles from
anywhere and the witness there is reviled and unkown. But this actually
authenticates the
Ideal. Why would He come down back to those who have forsaken Him,
made themselves magnificient and granted themseles the power to
destroy, because they are unable to build? Even those who mention God
do nothing but dress with flashy golden rags the dominations
which,
people imagine, settle the world's destiny from the Élysée, the White
House, the Reichstag, the Kremlin, the Vatican, Mekka, etc., while the
world's destiny is just settled by the work of men and of their hearts
pounding in their chests, and will be just settled by the souls
born to Good tomorrow.
To
those who retort to me, "But the State and the media ignore you," I
reply, "True, indeed, but do they say anything about you?" "Nothing"
"This is some confirmation that we are dead right in ignoring them. We
are the masters of the future. To
be ignored by the powers is the best condition to beat them. The
media are different. They'll get used to living with us some day."
Oh!
we know that the streets are filled
with rational people and groundhogs anesthetized by the rational
people, the crowd uninterested in the Ideal, all those who consider
faith as
just dreamy or laughable, and who
are too busy finding faults in everything and everybody to see wihin
themselves the image
and likeness of
the Ideal they are born of. All the more reason for speaking
to them without failing (Rev of Arès 26/15). Don't
you regret failing to be an apostle?
A
propagandist peddles an idea and calls on people to follow it. You are
not a propagandist. You do not prompt people to follow anything, but to
create themselves. Sprout what has been sowed
(Rév of Arès 5/1) within
humans by the Ideal Creator! This is a noble fruitful job. Remind
humans that the Creation is hid within them and comes out as a soul,a
ha again,
if they live according to Good, and
that the ha is a
constituent of the polone, the
world's soul (Rev of Arès xxxix/5-13), which
can reform then. An idea makes a people a pack. Do
the opposite by awakening the ha through penitence!
Set
each human free from the pack. So the human regains his or her self,
the self
becomes Life,
Happiness, Eternity (Rev of Arès 24/8, 36/23). We
gather together in an assembly, but
not to make up a crowd religious or political. We do so to help one
another to find Life (24/5),
which is not imposed on everybody under a dogma, an ideology, a law.
Each human is a God asleep whom the apostle awakes.
Just
be an apostle!
