Only reason I’m giving this 5 stars is that I always rate non-fiction books on knowledge I gain, and this book gave me an enough chunk of knowledge about Raëlism.
But other than that, this book (and religion) was written by Claude Raël for one of two reasons:
1) Materialistic gain be that money or fame
2) To spread his personal ideas and believes with the world.
Probably the first.
The message of the Raëlism for Claude Raël is on how to improve the earth and stop violence and manage it properly. The means to do that according to Raël are all pacifist mean, like stop war, end capitalism, love earth other, end racism, and basically ton of bullshit pacifist cliches.
You can easily see that he is lying with the toms of contradictions he presents and with the first pages of him telling about his first encounter, he describes the spaceship which he saw with a description IDENTICAL to what we see in movies when everything we see in movies are fictions people made.
When it comes to the beliefs of the movement, I disagree with pretty much 95% of it. Only thing I agree with is “geniocracy” which means that the country should be run by the intelligent not all the people AKA no democracy. This however could only work theoretically and can’t be practical.
