the Ares Pilgrims... what's that?
|
This
blog
closes its page 1. It's a first step in the right
direction. This blog, I hope, will enable
me to share the immense sublime Revelation of
Ares (just pronounce e in Ares
like e in "chess")
with the very small world. I call it very small,
because it seems very scarce in front of the screens:
A daily audience between a few hundreds to a thousand
or so. I should say that I've got a small number of
E-Mail addresses in my notebook, so I' have notified
few people of the birth of the blog.
Through this
unassuming blog I will be able to say and
resay unflaggingly (Rev of Ares 27/8), under
a lot of pretexts: news, meditations, etc.,that the
Message of Ares calls on men to change the world
(28/7). "It's just megalomania!" the greatest
minds of the time exclaim. "A plan that foolish can't
be achieved." Yes, it can, The Revelation of Ares
replies in substance, it will only take a human now
and then (a small remnant) who will become good
(a penitent) and search for (harvest)
men and women who in turn would agree to become good,
so that the world will be gradually changing
for the better. All in all, The Revelation of
Ares reminds us that goodness is as infectious
as evil is, so that the problem consists in no more
than choosing the former and giving up the latter.
In a nutshell, this is what the Word especially the
Gospel has advised men to do from time immemorial, but
none of religions has ever achieved.
The Father of the universe (Rev of Ares
12/4) has never done theology, never published
a catechism, never distinguished between religions and
non-religions (Rev of Ares 25/6), is neither
Christian, nor Jewish, nor Muslim, nor Buddhist, nor
anything else. He has done nothing but come back to
men, to all of men, to urge them to spiritual life
merely made of love, forgiveness, peace,
a free mind and intelligence.
Spiritual life alone will produce global happiness,
happiness never recovered yet after ancestor Adam's
big mistake (2/1-5).
As this is not a religious issue, what do people
call Ares Pilgrims then?
Numberless believers and nonbelievers, who have the
sense to think that the Path to happiness is
plain spiritual life, yearn for The Revelation of
Ares without even being aware that it exists,
while among that multitude the Ares Pilgrims are just
those who know The Revelation of Ares, feed
on it and spread its Light. In The
Revelation of Ares they are called the
small remnant or pious gens. Why Ares
Pilgrims or Pilgrims to Ares, therefore? This phrase
is in fact a nickname that was used from 1975 onwards
by the locals whenever they talked to each other about
the men and women who were spontaneous coming to the
place where Jesus had appeared and spoken in 1974
Usual have been the popular nicknames given to
uncommon believers: Methodists for John Wesley's
protestant church, Quakers for the Friends, Mormons
for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
and so on.
In the beginning, as i was aware that the word Ares
Pilgrims was a joke, I balked at using it. A little
later on, the connection, absolutely contingent, with
the pilgrim whose misery mollifies the (angry)
Father (Rev of Ares 12/9) sounded all right to
me. Also, I thought that officially adopting the word
was the right way to make the joke totally
meaningless.
Had not the word Ares Pilgrims come from the streets
and its gossips, what would I have named the movement
spontaneously emerging from The Revelation of
Ares? At the time I hardly ever thought about
it; I used to face much more burning issues then. Small
remnant taken out of the context would sound
abstruse to the public, who knew nothing of The
Revelation of Ares. I thought to call my
earlier brothers and sisters of faith the
believers, but as the word had a totally global
meaning, it was likely to cause all of the believers
on earth to protest against it. To tell the truth, I
do not know what I would have called our movement,
which had started spontaneous and has since then
stayed spontaneous. There has been no registered
association of the Ares Pilgrims, no more than they
have ever had any central log or filing system for
them. An Ares Pilgrim is any human that, just as Jesus
used to do 2,000 years ago, sets his (or her)
steps in the footprints (Rev of Ares 2/12) of
the Father that sounds much closer to men in
The Revelation of Ares than he sounded in the
Bible and the Quran.

€ 2,100 billions, France's public debt
|
Far
more
disturbing than the CPE crisis, France's national
debt is reaching an inconceivably big amount.
The immediate national debt, that is, what should be
paid back right away, amounts to 1,140 billions Euros
(67% of the gross domestic product or GDP), which has
to be increased, a European rule says, by amounts to
be willy-nilly paid tomorrow like the retirement
pensions of the civil servants and military currently
on duty. A total of about 2,100 billions Euros. An
obvious increase compared with last year's
governmental statement. Thierry Breton, the current
finance minister, has been so far unsuccessful in
getting the fabulous debt built up by his predecessors
under control. He has only managed to pay the compound
interests. Mind you, Thierry breton may well be
reducing the public deficit down to less than 3% (2.8%
projected) in 2006, so satisfying to the European
Compact of Stability, but the public deficit and the
public debt are different things.
How has such a debt built up? In
various ways. By allocating privileges, sinecures and
benefits, by making up for deficits, by increasing the
civil servants' salaries or by starting big roadworks,
constructions and redevelopments without the money
needed, the government force themselves either to
increase taxes or borrow money. As the tax and social
security deductions have already been increased in
France more than is sensible, no government venture
increasing them further. They take out loans
therefore.
Every French newborn baby has debts of 34,400 Euros
before ever he can open his eyes.
One of the parables, by which the Father in The
Revelation of Arès refers to men's impatient greed,
"Man is foolish...He counts two chairs for one leg,
two beds for one night (V/7)," helps us easily
understand how a nation puts itself in debt to so big
an amount.
How will the nation reimburse its creditors? Arlette
Laguiller, an ultraleftist, would say, "Let's make the
rich pay!" But the rich have considerably decreased in
number. It's clear to me that everybody will sooner or
later have to make great sacrifices, therefore, that
is, the complete opposite of what the leftist as well
rightist speeches sound to tell us.

CPE (continued)
|
Some
tell
me, "Just wait until the CPE (jobs law) crisis is
over to comment on it!" Why wait? The pros and the
cons have already lost out on it and are aware of
that. They will nevertheless have lived the
event like the only sort of adventure the modern man
has left, now that a drabber and drabber system
confines him in more and more laws.
Does the CPE, that new jobs law, brings about jobs
insecurity? Is it a condemnation of the labor law, as
trade unions warn? If the labor law is ever
threatened, demonstrations will be appropriate then.
As for the lack of job security, it has long been the
result of the shortage of jobs, so that the government
shouldn't be reproached for trying to induce employers
to create some non-essential paid jobs, which might
well be a plus for their firms, for their customers,
for the quality of life. If my plumber had one more
workman, I wouldn't have to wait for a month until my
sink U-bend is fixed and meanwhile to empty the bucket
under it twice a day. But I know we are faced with a
crisis of a much wider scale: We should save the
French industry, which has for years been delocalizing
and making the French lose long accumulated practical
skills and expertness by training far less costly
manpower abroad. Industry is not faced with competing
plumbers in the neighbourhood, but it is in
competition with the world trade dynamics.
Why have the media featured only the anti-CPE youth?
Because a newsman does not regard the pro-CPE youth
worth a news. These however make up most of French
youth. What's more, a lot of them go as far as to
declare: "That jobs law, CPE, may give us the
opportunity to prove that we are able to work and
bring creative benefits, which could restart and
secure the industrial engine, force bosses to review
their misgivings about their business…" Why are a
great many media inclined to make us think that most
of French youth want a sovietized regime, which
guarantees jobs and retirement, as if such a regime
could never end up in France in the disastrous way it
ended up in USSR? As to the trade union rulers, they
draw from the CPE an opportunity of restoring their
importance long lost, as the five of them represent
less than 9% of the paid jobs in France. As to the
Left, they forget that they too have brought about
riots like the well-famed riot against the law of
Allegre, a socialist minister of education under
premier Lionel Jospin. It is not talking politics
merely to observe those facts and remind that The
Revelation of Ares quite rightly says that Truth
is that the world has to change (28/7). Let's
strive to urge men to restore the spiritual intelligence
they have long lost (32/5).

CPE
|
CPE
(=Contract
of First Employment with a two-year probation
period, a new law that has filled the streets with
an angry mob in France for weeks): Who's going to cure
the bubo (the swelling, the bulge, Rev of Ares
XXXIV/16-18)? The doctors
that rule France or the doctors that are
longing to rule it soon? I am bemoaning the latter,
who in the hope of evicting the former have rashly
endangered France's peace to arouse an uncontrollable
monster racket. Aren't French students easy to rouse
to a racket? They are. The former I am bemoaning as
well, because they hypocrites claim that only a
dialogue will crack the nut. In fact, as the affair is
mere politics, it's just a dialogue around a poker
table. Reality lies elsewhere and is virtually
irrelevant to the CPE.
Reality: Jobs
= salaried employments, because these are easily
controlled and taxed, as long as the world
does not understand that it has to change (Rev of
Ares 28/7), so that man may have a destiny
worthy of man, but the thing is, jobs are not many
enough for everybody, and there will even be less and
less jobs.
Accordingly, any cure for joblessness is a cure
for the bubo, that is, it cures society of
nothing much. How could the CPE persuade employers to
hire people they don't need, since they would have
long hired them, if they would need them, as they are
profitthirsty according to the leftists? But they are
philanthropythirsthy, as well, and eager to hire all
of youth, the rightists think. Leftists and rightists
have it all wrong.
Then I tried to understand the pros and cons with
mathematics, dispassionately. I filled a file with
curves, graphs, ratings, statistics and (antithetical)
conclusions by great experts. It would take several
pages of this website to show them. Just believe the
results of my study: There are as many pros as there
are many cons. Impossible to tell who is right from
who is wrong. I can't help but more and more bemoan
the mess, which some adults, who have no problems but
the end of their political careers to secure, have
selfishly prompted among young people who have only
basic problems of careers to start up. In any case, if
young people (unanimously, the media say) do really
not want the CPE? When hired, they each say, "I sign
up nothing but a CDI (Contract of Permanent
Employment)." The law to be is the will to
be; no law that has been can resist it (Rev
of Ares 28/8).
The Maker through his Revelation of Ares is
right: Just as religion is, politics is to be replaced
with love, intelligence and freedom
which, when it becomes real freedom, is not
the outburst of all sorts of passions, but a giant
wave of wisdom, which the world has lacked so far.

intoxicating effect of cruelty
|
It's
no
use shedding tears over barbarity or thinking it is
redemptive; what is needed is changing the
world (Revelation of Arès 28/7).
I had never seen "The
Passion of Christ" by Mel Gilson. I had not expected
one more movie to alter the meaning of Jesus' horrific
death: Any individual proved able to persuade men to
revise their subjections is bound to risk death,
physical or social, as long as prophethood does not
solve its real problem, which is not so much
proclaiming as going through human inertia. The movie
has not changed the way I feel the Passion, indeed,
but in my brain it has opened a new window to it. A
few days ago, I went past the TV and sighted a scene
of the movie: Jesus being questioned by the high
priest. I found the scene particularly plausible, I
sat down and stayed. Until the end — Some pictures
that do not tell anything new sometimes happen to
boost your consciousness.
I ignored the excesses of the movie: Mel Gibson should
have asked professional torturers ' advice to get an
exact notion of the bounds of human resistance (Jesus
before ever dying on the cross would have already died
twice when lashed by the two violent floggers in the
movie, who eventually are nearly as exhausted as the
flogged man; I was on the verge of laughing). Other
scenes were far more interesting. Notably Pilatus as a
perfect embodiment of a conscience able to
discriminate between truth and untruth, but cowardly
and failing to impose the truth. To me Pilatus is the
key character of "The Passion": Human inertia. Once
more I pondered the explosion that for millennia has
sometimes occurred, when spiritual Truth,
perpetually dynamic (here Jesus'), strikes the world's
crude truth, perpetually inert, but enormous (here the
clamoring mob's, the police force's, the dominating
interests').
I had read paper reviews telling that "The Passion of
Christ" was "nothing but a horror film, a picture more
sensational than ethic or even aesthetic." I found it
quite different. Apart from a few excesses (for
instance, the flagellation or flogging, see above),
through which Gibson might have intended to stress the
contrast between innocent wisdom and stupid cruelty
rather than horrify the audience, I can't see anything
implausible in the brutality and contempt dogging
Jesus from the beginning to the end of the movie.
Isn't the intoxicating effect of cruelty and mockery
still prevailing here and there in the world sick with
evil?
It's obvious that religion is not the remedy against
evil. The remedy was given by the Sermon on the
Hill (Matthew ch.5 to 7) . Later the world
would be reminded of it through The Revelation of
Ares: Man has to and is able to change his
life for the better. This remedy has not yet
been applied, because no human law is ever up to
performing that sort of change. Only man's
will is up to it. If Pilatus, the man in utmost
authority, had willed to spare Jesus
a useless atrocious torture, we can easily imagine
that, had Jesus been set free and able to resume his
mission, a lot of things would have changed in society
from that time onwards. This in my eyes is the moral
of the movie by Gibson: Some men, priests, Romans, do
not know what to do with the prophet, whom
they have to reproach for anything but being good
and calling on mankind to join the kingdom of Goodness,
shake off the problem through death, because
they have not understood that the solution is plain:
They have to turn good themselves. Here
cruelty is just the intoxicating effect of barbarity,
which is to last as long as mankind wants to stay
barbarian.

furor from lack of love
|
Democracy
to
Hell!
This slogan has been flaunted in a lot of Muslim
protests against Muhammad cartoons published by a
Danish paper Jyllands-Posten.
We'd better get it right, though! This
slogan means much more than anger toward the Muhammad
cartoons. It means utter lack of understanding of our
'democratic' attitudes. It means there's an abyss
between the Muslim main mass spirit and the
Judaeo-Christian main mass spirit, and the bridge to
cross it is not yet in the making.
Last week somebody told me, "Those Muslim protests
against Muhammad cartoons are deeply shocking. We've
got to reject mental backwardness and stand up for
freedom of expression." I replied, "What about someone
publishing a cartoon of you pulling down your old
father's pants and by force ass-fucking him?"
Immediately the man blushed, outraged, and said
vehemently, raising his hand, "How offensive! How dare
you a man of God think of rude things like that?!
That's altogether different, anyway..." I cut him off,
"No, it's not. The Muhammad cartoons shock our Muslim
fellow humans so much as my offensive words just
shocked you. That's by no means different. So they
react the way you on the verge of violence have just
reacted at my rudeness. Freedom of expression is not
freedom of offense."
I added, "A Muslim isn't more backward than you a
Christian. Only, just like you, he so far has failed
to love his neighbor so much that he could stay
impassive when faced with a strong vexation. A lack of
inner peace denotes judgment. The judgment
has leapt onto your tongue like a flea, unawares
(Rev of Ares 36/16). Now, a man that loves his
neighbor ought not to judge him, ever."

there is no absolute freedom
but freedom to
love
|
The
great
spiritual issues do not rest with faith, a
word that can't be found in The Revelation of
Ares. They rest with all that stands for the
value of the son (any man, religious or not)
just as it stands for the Father's value: Love,
forgiveness, peace, spiritual intelligence
and, of course, spiritual freedom (or liberty).
Sadly, these instruments of Good have not
been discernible for millennia, because man, religious
and/or political, has replaced them by different
"values": law, ideology, force, customs and the much
talked-about legitimity. What to do until spiritual
consciousness reappears?
Take liberty, for example!
I'm pondering a recent event when two "freedoms"
confronted each other. In February, 2006, José Bové,
an altermondialist, a scourge of American products and
produces (in France he has vandalized a McDonald
fast-food restaurant and dug out fields of transgenic
corn) was turned back by the immigration police at
Kennedy Airport, NY. Officially expected to give a
lecture at Cornell University, NY, he was unofficially
intended to take part in a few protests. José Bové was
not refused a right of speech, even anti-american
speech, however, but a right to leave part of his US
immigration form blank. The US immigration form aks
any non-american visitor if he has ever been sentenced
to a penalty, whatever, in his own country. José Bové
did not tick off the box.
Which "liberty" should have prevailed? The "legitimate
liberty" of the USA to refuse a notorious
anti-american fire ship admittance? José Bové's no
less "legitimate liberty" to refuse to kneel in the US
immigration police's confessional?
The liberty or freedom preached by
The Revelation of Arès is unquestionably
absolute. It is the freedom of the foal...free
from the harness that doctors put on it (10/10,
doctors of the law, of ethics, of the order,
etc.), but it can be exerted in one tendendy of the
heart, the tendendy to love, never to
violence. Now, Uncle Sam and José Bové are violent
beings who each claim to follow their "liberty" of
violence. There's nothing spiritual, nothing true
therefore, in the confrontation between two
"liberties". The nimble foal may be free
from the doctor's harness, but it is not "free"
to trample the doctors underfoot. We are too
much influenced by evil to be able to se the
difference.
I think that José Bové should have refrained from
going to exert his violence at the very source of his
grievances, so that he could save the USA from
refusing him admittance on their territory, which is
violence likewise. Until it becomes always solvable,
absolute freedom, whenever it is unsolvable, that is,
under most of circumstances, can only have absolute
substitutes. In this example, the substitute is
absolute wisdom to avoid an unsolvable
encounter.

ocher-colored, materiel therefore, for all that an angel
|
THE
THOUGHT
OF THE MOMENT
The Revelation of Arès,
the angel on the beach episode, October 8, 1977
(Bilingual edition, p.371). One among thousands of
contradictors hints that that angel was nothing but an
illusion, because "everything is just matter
throughout", a pretty, very fashionable phrase. I
reply, "I agree. Everything is matter. The Creator of
matter is necessarily matter himself. As the angel
that appeared to me on the beach was ocher-yellow from
head to foot, and since matter alone can be colored,
the angel was material.
I add, "Also material had Jesus been in 1974, when he
had spoken to me and touched me. Likewise, material
were the theophanies I witnessed in 1977, that loud
voice out of a dazzling, well-nigh blinding stick of
light."
The contradictor says, "Entirely imaginary things can
be resounding, colored and even blinding." I say,
"Moments ago you told me that even the mind is
material. Therefore, when you hint at all I saw and
heard in 1974 and 1977 as mere hallucination or
fabrication, I can relate you back to your own
materialism. My hallucinations and fabrications
coudln't possibly be but mere matter, mere reality."
I add, "Mind you, I don't want to argue against you
with a sophism. I only say that the materialistic
theory is inadequate to demonstrate that the Arès
supernatural events are untrue. On the other hand, I
claim that a few great facts following those events
argue against materialism." The contradictor asks,
"What great facts?" I answer, "I did not love my
neighbor more than most of men do conventionally. I
did not forgive offenses. I did not act free from the
cultural prejudices. I did not preach absolute peace.
Just fancy what I've turned into! I wholeheartedly
love my neighbor now. I forgive all of offenses. I am
free from the cultural prejudices. I preach utter
peace. A lot of Arès Pilgrims have changed
likewise: they were wicked or mediocre, or liars, or
violent men, but they have become good, truthful,
peaceful. This is what Jesus meant 2,000 years ago,
when he said, Look, the blind can see, the deaf
can hear... The angel on the beach was
ocher-yellow, material therefore, but for all that he
was an angel. Only, in 1977, I was beginning to see
what you cannot see yet."

piety
|
THE
THOUGHT
OF THE MOMENT.
Praying
according to The Revelation of Arès is
not beseeching or glorifying God, but achieving
the good.
Do not beseech, because before you beseech, the
Father he has his own idea about what you need,
(which is not necessarily your own idea about it),
Matthew 6/8.
The Father has an idea that you have to develop your
kindness. As for the Father's glory, it's no use
glorifying him, because his glory belongs on him
like your head on your shoulders. Glory is his
natural element; he need not be congratulated on it.
Why pray, then? Through The Revelation of Arès
the Father says, Uttering my word in order to
achieve it, this is true piety (35/6).
In order to achieve what? To achieve
the good all your life, because nothing but the good
will give man happiness.
Whenever you stop by the path to utter a
few verses, you do not harp on the holy scripture,
but you do so never to forget that the Creator's
word has no purpose but to create, remind you that
you have to create your own self and whole mankind
good. In other words, as we are the Creator's images
and likenesses (Genesis 1/27), we are
co-creators of the universe, we have to love
all of humans further every day, forgive all of
offenses further every day, make peace
further every day, be still freer from all
that forces us to be mediocre, tell lies, act
according to the animal habits and the laws of
despiritualized man, but not according to our
spiritual conscience.
It is not by praying in this or that way, but by
acting good and true in everyday life, that we are
saved and are going to save the world.

gladiators still alive
|
The Pittsburg
Steelers win the superbowl,, the final of
the US football championship. They are acclaimed like
triumphal gladiators while their opponents get
beclouded in the corridors toward the locker room like
dead gladiators. Aren't certain team sports likely to
glorify the strong thrashing the weak rather than
encourage sound sporting events, a source of
emulation, but not of harsh rivalry? They are. For the
time being, every answer to this question has been
nowhere near satisfactory, probably because mankind
has not yet been changing as much as people imagine
and the masses are still in need of circus games.
Brother Michel has once told that he had been at a
bullfight in Nîmes, Southern France, in 1960, for the
first but sole time in his life. Although an atheist
then, he had been upset watching the spectators'
"barbarian excitement". He had understood that, "had
Christians been pushed into the arena to be devoured
by big cats, there would still be a crowd to watch the
slaughter these days." He can't stand violent movies
anymore, but he still "still takes a little boy's
delight in a union rugby match." It may be because
this "run, get-up-and-go and hand-to-hand sport
reminds me of the brawls after school (primary
school)," from which he broke out "sloppy and bashed
up, but amazingly invigorated."
He has often asked himself the question, but has found
an only answer: We have to lose culture even more
every day, so that we can change into men of the
time to come. It is not denying exercice or
workout and the benefit we get from it to prepare for
totally giving up the pugnacity drills.

a swordman or a man of home?
|
Ariel Sharon looks
like he were definitely eliminated after
a stroke from which he has not yet recovered, if he
can recover from it ever. What's more, this sudden
change in the political leadership in Israel has
become complicated by the latest Palestinian
elections and the political victory of the Hamas
party. Although Mahmud Abbas (Fatah) is to remain
the president for a good while, Hamas is going to
grow more and more influential on the Palestinian
policy and every talk with Israel.
For decades Sharon used to behave much more like a
swordman than a politician aware of the human
predicament at stake in the Middle East. He notably
seemed rather unaware of the Palestinians'
aspirations for getting even with the Israeli, who
drove them out of their land and houses half a
century ago, and reduced them to poverty and even
reduced part of them to begging. Nothing else is at
stake in the conflict around Jerusalem.
But it is much more than a political conflict, it is
a primal conflict. The Arab and the Jew have either
to be born or to be stillborn… unless they agree to
be twins, because has not really come into existence
yet and Palestine is eager to be reborn. No need to
demonstrate the huge difficulty in ending up with
such an agreement. They have to end up with it,
however. It is unsure if the Hamas really seeks to
destroy Israel, let's hope Hames doesn't, but at
least it is trying to get back the assets, material
and political, the Palestinians have long lost. In
other words, it is trying to share the land and the
decisions on the land's destiny.
By the end of his prime minister office, Ariel
Sharon sounded as if he had definitely realized that
the Palestinians would never give up their
legitimate claims and even that the claims were
well-justified. The word once given Moses by God is
not above the word later given Muhammad, an
extension of God's word applied to whole mankind,
which is upheld by The Revelation of Ares. A
short while before a stroke struck him down, Ariel
Sharon had come to the very conclusion previously
drawn by Beghin and Rabin from the situation.
Those prospects of universality notwithstanding, the
concrete reality cannot be ignored. Israel, although
it is not recognized by all of the nations quite a
few Muslim countries have remained reticent stand as
a powerful economic and military state in the face
of the weak Palestinians. Love of the neighbour and
sense shall take over from weapons. There is much
trouble in store for men whom brutal events have not
predisposed to mercy.

poor judge! poor justice!
|
“But
it's
just a child!” one of them lets out on catching
sight of judge Fabrice Burgaud.
The “child” belongs in the law system answerable for
dreadful errors in an inquest (the preparation of a
case for eventual judgment), which has resulted in a
lot of innocent people being jailed for months and
their social and family lives being wrecked.
Sizeable were the odds that such
dramatic errors might be made by too young a judge
both horrified at discovering what sort of sexual
abuse paedophiles could inflict on children and almost
devoid of experience. Consequently, if the people's
representatives were going to summon the responsible
for the legal errors to appear, they might as well
summon the whole legal system, at least the chief
senior judges and even the justice ministers, the
ruling one and the former ones, who have put a kid
fresh from law school in charge of a case of extensive
complexity and gravity. Would have a young engineer
fresh from university been put in charge of the
engineering and design of the Millau viaduct, or liner
“Queen Elisabeth”, or Airbus 380? No, he wouldn't.
Anybody putting him in charge of such a task would
have been at fault. How could we, therefore, accept
the idea of elder judges leaving young judge Burgaud
shouldered from beginning to end with a case, which
was every day gaining in excessive size? His elders
and even, if it was possible, if it had a human face
and body, justice itself should be summoned to appear
here!
Doesn't every one of us think of The Revelation
of Ares, which states that the only judge that
show some signs of justice and intelligence (Rev
of Ares 32/5) is the judge that eats his
own tongue (Rev of Ares XI/7)? In other words,
the judge that renounces the law and appeals to his
own heart, soul and love, which
does not rule out wisdom, quite the
contrary!
Judiciary errors are numberless, but exceedingly split
up. Rare, therefore worthwhile observing, is a
situation of massive judiciary inconsistency like
Outreau's case, which has resulted in spectacular
damages social, family and even bodily (an innocent
committed suicide in prison), because it shows how
huge the efforts the men who forgive have to make
sometimes. The innocent whose lives have been wrecked
by judges have to forgive them indeed.
Forgiving is not paying no heed. No judiciary system
or law will ever be reformed enough. It has to
disappear. This is one of The Revelation of
Ares's major teachings. If the innocent don't
forgive the judges, the judiciary system will keep
going rife everywhere on earth, because it is love,
but not endless vengeance (Rev of Ares 27/9),
that will cause the courts of justice to disappear.
Judiciary system is to be replaced. Replaced with
something still to be discovered, which love
alone is likely to discover, when a small remnant
will have put love back into circulation.
Evolution is far from over. The world has to
change (Rev of Ares 28/7).

charity is selfcharity more or less
|
There
are
plenty of reasons for celebrities to do charity:
A feeling of guilt, faith, waning popularity ratings,
etc. "If you want a long-term career, you need to be
taken seriously by the public. To do nothing
humanitarian is a mistake," say publicists to stars.
One of them added lately, "Charitable work rounds out
and humanizes a star's image." And there's
politics as well. It's probably not a coincidence that
some of the most charitably active celebrities, like
Angelina Jolie (see the shot of her in Kashmir) are
also some of the most outspoken liberals.
We tend to scoff. We tend to be lacking in mere
charity, in mere kindness of our hearts toward wealthy
stars whose charity moves take place in a blaze of
publicity, but can they really do anything out of
charity without being chased after by paparazzi or
even newpapermen? Why consider the stars' charity as
fake charity, because they always look like they gave
a performance or played roles on movie settings? And
other celebrities' (politicians', businessmen', etc.)
charity questionable, because they always sound like
they were at a press conference? We are afraid to pass
for gullible nerds if we say there is a lot more to
celebrities's charity than just that, and we forget
unintelligently that charity impulses do not come out
of the charitable persons, but they always come out of
the needy, those who need others' charity and who
inspire it, therefore.
It doesn't matter how you do charity, spectacularly or
not. Just do it the way you can do it and bear in mind
that the needy person is like a midwife whose need
delivers your charity into the light of day, so that
he or she helps you give birth to and develop your
love of the neighbor. All in all, charity is always
selfcharity, more or less.

a penitent or miracle maker
|
THE
THOUGHT
OF THE MOMENT.
Every morning I ask myself: Will you today
be better than yesterday? In other words, have you got
ahead with your penitence? Which does not
mean that penitence is a forbidding,
austere, sad action. Quite the contrary!
The Revelation of Ares has not reversed the
fundamental sense of penitence, which will
forever remain a path to good, but this Word
has reminded us of the
dynamic joyful prospects of selftransformation from a
mediocre sinful state into a selfrecreated, reborn man
or woman gradually filling, day after day, during his
or her lifetime, with grace, strength against evil
inner or outer.
The effort you every day make to grow better,
more loving, more forgiving, more
peaceful, more intelligent and freer
(in a spiritual sense) makes you recover part of the image
and likeness of the Maker (Genesis 1/27), that
is the image and likeness of grace, that is,
the image and likeness of a miraclemaker. A
miraclemaker not as powerful as the Father, but a man
or woman imperceptibly growing into a strong
self-redeemed soul that's regaining its
divine origin.
Whenever I'm asked: "Pray for me or for Mrs
So-and-So," I reply, "Just do penitence, that
is, become better, don't tell lies, be charitable,
love even your enemies, don't judge anybody, refrain
from being angry, so you'll get much more favor for
you or Mrs So-and-So from penitence than
from prayer. You might even work a miracle!"
