next edition of the revelation of ares in the making
Read no further if you dislike the way Brother Michel has edited The Revelation of Ares.
"Ugly... Too big... Too complicated... Not an easy-does-it approach of the Event of Ares... Theological-looking (and even bigoted-looking and preachy-style) comments, etc."
But to me it's a work of love!
I've begun preparing the next French edition of this Word of the Father, and please don't think that I overlook the plentiful feedback I've got for years from a lot of people on my way of editing it. Unfortunatly, the remarks and suggestions were miscellanious, many in contradiction to each other, so much so that that I eventually felt neutralized, mentally drained, for a good while. At last, lately, I came to decide to excogitate and carry out the next edition by myself once again. I am giving lengthy consideration of the project, however, with a view to making the book clearer, more attractive and modern... Modern insofar as a material related to the Maker's eternal Word can be modern.
I hope that my brothers and sisters in faith as well as French-speaking people as a whole will like, or at least will not too much complain about, the edition currently in the making. In any case, it will once more be an honest work, even though it will be a hard long-drawn-out work, as I mean to edit it in a manner different from the previous ones. The main Word will have a different paragraphing, spaced out with short titles, so that the book will be both less big and less difficult to sort out in concepts. The comments, no more comments than those necessary for new readers, will be very short and bigger in font size.
Whatever form I've given the Father's Word, the work always has been an epiphany to me. That's why I say "a work of love." Not that I witness new appearances or manifestations of the Father or his messenger Jesus, but I get from this work a renewed perception of the salvatory essential nature of the Word, that is, Life.

Photo: As Sister Christiane had realized that the visitors to this blog would be pleased to see new pictures, she shot me in my study yesterday, May 31st. Being a servant of the Father as well as a cook, housewife and grand-mother much better than a photographer, her first shot was good (the next nine shots were not so happy, but digital cameras are marvels, you delete the pictures that haven't come out, so no waste of film). You can see me working on the next edition of The Revelation of Ares.

waiting for godot or waiting for salvation
The afterlife salvation? In concrete terms, The Revelation of Ares says little or nothing about it. In spiritual terms, it is the strength to overcome darkness, fear (16/6), powerlessness of existence devoid of its corporeal scaffolding (17/2), while waiting for absolute salvation, which is to occur on the Day of re-creation and transfiguration of man pieced together again, flesh, mind and soul.
Among the whole Word that Abraham's descendants have been handed down only the Quran depicts the salvation of the just—Paradise, a word never found in The Revelation of Ares—, in a way past the stage of mere ideas like the idea given by Luke 16/23 (Poor Lazarus in Abraham's bosom). Nonetheless, the Quran's materiality of the depictions are allegories rather than realities, unless they are related to absolute salvation, that is, life after the resurrection Day (Rev of Ares 35/2-3).
About the salvation immediately after death The Revelation of Ares concretely says almost nothing. It sets out death as the falling apart of man's three constituents: the flesh, the mind and the soul (Rev of Ares 17/7). She warns, recommending that the living mortify for the dead (Rev of Ares 33/32-34), that the time of death is a trial to all men even to the virtuous (Rev of Ares XL/15). Death is anomaly, since the flesh dies of the congenital plague, sin, inherited from Adam (Rev of Ares 2/1-5), that mankind will recover from only by agreeing to do penitence for generations (24/2).
When you die at the age of conscienceness (children and simple people do not have salvation problems, the Scripture suggests) either you have only the mind or you have the mind the soul left. The mind alone can act as nothing but a freezing shroud for you (17/7), a metaphor for spiritual sterility (the abyss) and suffering unconsciousness (17/5) of the specter (4/6-7). On the other hand, the soul, if you have made yourself a soul by acting with goodness (Rev of Ares vigils 17 & 18), love, forgiveness, peace, rejection of prejudices (freedom), with faith or religion as well as without any, the soul drives you out of the abyss like a sail driven by the spiritual wind, which you used to blow while you were alive. What you bring along with you is the strength you gave yourself on earth. The area the soul moves to is not described, probably because afterlife salvation is not the conclusion of spiritual life. The finality of spiritual life is absolute salvation, the one salvation described in The Revelation of Ares, the one bound to come later on after the Day has occurred (Rev of Ares 17/7, 31/8-12, 33/9, etc).
Let's mention the 2d of October, however, when I was propelled out of time and out of my own vulnerability throughout the universe. This trial may well give a concrete idea of the soul's way of life while waiting until the Day occurs. "Why," some people ask me, "do you balk at telling about that extraordinary trial?" I happen to reply, "Because on that day, like I was one of the two misfits in Waiting for Godot, Vladimir and Estragon, I learned for a few minutes that, as I was a man, I was a metaphysical animal—Ionesco used to say so about Samuel Becket's play—. It was not me, it was the Maker who depicted my own trial in The Revelation of Ares (VI/1-4), because none of men can describe his reunion with his own spiritual substance. That reunion can't be shared, it is as inconceivable as Godot, God himself, pretty much!"
I happen to tell some visitors, who are then disconcerted, "I don't know what God is, I have but experienced him just as you've read from The Revelation of Ares. From the experience no really informative description of him can be drawn, but, though poor, it is honestly true. Likewise, my idea of salvation is honestly true. I don't know much about it, but I'm aware that we do not die, and that what a human brings along with him or her is roughly all he or she has made good or bad, positive or negative, when he or she was corporeal."

Picture: I've got few photos. I have not much thought of myself. Just the same, here's a recent picture (April, 2006) together with my wife Christiane, taken by our daughter Sara.

the eldest duck-legged fish
Would the Ares Pilgrims be against evolution? Quite the contrary. Let's reword The Revelation of Ares, which dubs me eldest brother (16/1), so I turn into the eldest tiktaalik. What's dat?
If the Ares Pilgrims were against evolution, they would not believe in what is essential in The Revelatioon of Ares, that is, the fact that man has been able to demean himself, fall (Adam, Rev of Arès 2/1-5 and VII/8-16), and that he is likewise able to straigten up (1/1), get over sin, evil and misfortune, resume his spiritual position as the creator's son and as co-creator, therefore.
If we, you or I or every one of men, can evolve, it is because evolution is a global ability of everything in the creation. A new proof of evolution has lately appeared: A tiktaalik roseae (picture), a fish with embryonic legs, a 375-million-year fossil the name of which means "large fish in the stream" in Inuit (Eskimo), has been dug out of Ellesmere Island, Canada. The fossil shows that terrestrial life has come out of the sea. Some fish have grown legs, which enabled them to crawl along, and then later walk, on shores. So doing they have developped their brains.
To us anything an animal can do corporally and cerebrally we humans can, particularly as far as morality and spirituality are concerned, because these are in great need of improvement. So we believe in The Revelation of Ares's verses: ...I (Creator) breathe silently into men's chests. For the Truth is, the world has to change (Rev of Ares 28/6-7).
Everything changes, which is essential truth and, what's more, everything has to change. Everything is able to change, therefore. Besides, The Revelation of Ares adds, do not finery and joy suit to him who has changed his life (30/11)?
Why, then, the legless fish, the representatives of organizations like Mivilude, Adfi, Ccmm, etc., who claim that they throw light on some "dangers" to "youth and families", issued a while ago a "record" which spreads a warning that we are "a sect devoted to illegal healing"?— A blunder not really abusive but doubly false, as the Ares Pilgrims do not have a sectarian spirit and do not practice healing, whatever—, are now telling that we are "people behind the time, opponents of evolution"?
I happen to guess, however, why they spread such untruths. First, because they heve never read The Revelation of Ares or the books related to it. Second, because they find it a justifiable parry that falsities are spoken up against whatever disconcerts them. Why? Simply, because we have left the abyss of the "religiously correct", the "politically correct", the "atheistically correct", in short, the "correct thought" abyss, and we have started proceeding upward, to the clear surface waters of the Sea (Rev of Ares 20/4+elswhere), to an evolution, which they consider as hazardous.
And yet we do not attack anybody. We have respect for the beliefs and freedom of everybody, our enemies included. Isn't the peace within us a sign of evolution, as it is, in days when people fly into rage very easily?

ahmadi-najad
You can find the letter from Iran president Ahmadi-Najad to USA president George W. Bush in an appendix. I have not yet found time to translatte it into French.
Meanwhile, the French visitors to this blog cannot find a material better than the following comment by brother Bernard L. from Brittany in explanation of the letter:

"[...] Just as that man (the Iranian president) says to another man (the American president) :
"In the charter of media, the correct circulation of news as well as the fair report of events are necessary principles. If we let the truth be lost, how can this be reconciled with the [moral and spiritual] values once preached by Jesus Christ?
"Thank you, brother michel, for rehabilitating every man in his or her prophetic nature.
"[Through his letter Ahmadi-Najad] speaks to "the people of the book", [which is what the Quran calls Jews, Christians and Muslims,] all of them spurred on by a single word, just as a prophet speaks and put them all at the same level. He himself addresses all of us, even if he himself has reached a high level and is having special relationship [with the world] nowadays.
"Let's not censor, let's not temper with the "message" of a man as we keep doing with a lot of messages. Let's raise it to the level of the Word, which it is intended to help achieve (Rev of Ares 35/5-6).
"I am grateful to you, because you let us know this message purified of all the distortions, that the media everywhere on earth have subjected it to. Let's become media ourselves, media of the light and of goodness. Let's speak on behalf of the truth and good, let's speak with strength and self-confidence.
"In the name of the Father thank you for this piece of information. Let's convey it!"

As it suspects Iran of making a nuclear bomb, which may be just a pretext like the "weapons of mass destruction" that legitimized the attack against Iraq, the USA has demonized Ahmadi-Najad for a while. On the other hand, it seems altogether implausible that a pious Muslim uses the Quran as an excuse to have a go at a diplomatic arrangement. Ahmadi-Najad's letter does not sort out the problem between Iran and the USA, but it opens that man's heart in front of our eyes. Perhaps George W. Bush is going to open his own heart by his reply. What is at stake is of paramount importance. A world war may be at stake.
It's by no means to no purpose that The Revelation of Ares recommends, You (Christian man) shall ally yourself fraternally with the synagogues' assemblies (Jews) and with the assemblies of those who submit to God (Muslims) (35/11). The Father was aware, in 1974 when he gave the world this Word, that the situation would appear to be dangerously tense between Christians, Jews and Muslims some thirty years later.

as christians, are you go-getters or wimps?
The Ares Pilgrims' mission is campaigning in Paris for the awakening of public consciousness that there has been no christianity on earth yet.
This is The Revelation of Ares' gist!
Here two missionaries are photographed on a boulevard, one dressed up as an angel, the other carrying a banner which reads,
"There's no such thing as Christianity,
or else there would be such a thing as brotherhood."
This spiritual campaign as well as a lot of previous similar operations evidence the Ares Pilgrims' greatest regard for love, generosity of spirit, forgiveness, peace, spiritual intelligence, freedom from prejudices, as cardinal virtues that meet the Gospel's requirements much more than abstract faith clauses like the trinity or sinners' redeeming through the cross. Sinners are redeemed by their own efforts to be good, which The Revelation of Ares merely calls penitence (30/11), a word that it transforms in signification by shifting its sense from remorse and atonement into self-(re)creation, regainment of the divineness given man by the Maker (Genesis 1/27, Rev of Ares 2/13).
Which does not mean that the Ares Pilgrims despise their fellow Christians associated with the churches or their fellow believers, Jews, Muslims, etc., since the Father definitely saves whoever he wants to (Rev of Ares 11/3). Not only do we know for certain that penitents, good men, are saved, whatever religion or philosophy they belong in, but we know that they contribute to the world's change (28/7) for the better, for terminal global salvation.
When it comes to plain, real christianity, are you go-getters or wimps? For every human engrossed with the need to achieve the ascent to the Heights (Rev of Ares 36/14) there appears another human, highspirited, to accept to become a penitent, so that the world may change little by little.

no new society plan in sight
For a long time, particularly since the protest vote againt the European Constitution, the suburbs riots and the protests against the CPE (jobs law) in France, I have been watching out for a plan of new society, which could be logically expected in days of political dimness. But no plan. On Sunday I read an interview with Daniel Cohn-Bendit, figuring that the man that had been a star of the May 1968 youth protest movement might well have a plan of new society.
Cohn-Bendit says, "The May 1968 movement was explosive and aggressive ideologically speaking[, while the anti-CPE movement] has no ideology... [is just] defensive. There was full-employment in 1968 France... there were no more than 100,000 jobless... The point of the 1968 movement was questioning all of institutions, unbuilding Gaullism and Communism. We used to think that a different society could come into existence. All those points of reference have vanished since then. Today youth feels [just] scared." He points out, "There's been a culture of revolt in France... The culture of negociation is starting, but very slowly. Whatever the problem in France, the outcome hangs on power struggles. Every situation develops in fits and starts... Once during a debate a French lady in her forties leveled at me that she always felt the existential need to say no!" He adds, "I was unable to reply to that." You think Cohn-bendit is the sort of man expected to reply to the woman with a plan of new society where she could say yes at last? But no, he didn't.
Cohn-Bendit goes on, "[I'd have liked] taking part in the anti-CPE (jobs law) protest... Under such a law it's the same ones, the wage-earners, who run risks again and again... The young wage-earners are laid off without knowing why, while they definitely need to know why." This is true, but Cohn-Bendit once more is planless. As he puts forward no plan in place of the CPRjobs law, he could suggest the youth to consider it as an open invitation to employment, which is better than nothing, but should demand that they would know why they do not fill the job. He says only this, "The French need to be put at ease... Society in France is being stuck so much so that reformers would need more than to be right to succeed." Which is an admission of powerlessness. He eventually adds, which is meager, "Employers' problem is not freedom to lay employees off, but the cost of employment."
In short, Cohn-Bendit has no plan of new society. Whenever I listen to the government and majority parties, I can't detect the least note of new society project. Whenever I listen to the opposition politicians and trade unionists, I hear social demands, but no plan of new society. The religious leaders have no plan of new society, either.
The days of new society plans seem over. Arguably because history has shown that no society politically and/or religiously structured has ever really been suited to the idea man has always had about happiness. It is man who so far has had to be suited to the idea that society, whatever, has had about itself through the speeches of those who manage it.
The Revelation of Ares is right, therefore. If the world changes (28/7), it will not change through changes in societies, but through a change in the individual. It is the individual who has to change his life (Rev of Ares 30/11), for the happy man will be only the one who loves his neighbor, forgives, makes peace, sets himself free from prejudices and dependences, recover spiritual intelligence, whatever society he lives in.

the gospel of Judas
"The Gospel of Judas is all the rage in chat rooms. Please tell us about it!" users of the blog email me.
Well, let's go! The Gospel of Judas written in Coptic (a language descended from pharaonic Egyptian) is no novelty. The papyrus you read about in the papers was found three decades ago, but a Gospel of Judas had been known to exist since the second century! A lot of gospels used to circulate then, whether poor and uninteresting like the Gospel of Judas or very interesting like those ascribed to James, Bartholemew, Nicodemus, Thomas, though they were not chosen as canonic sources. What's so special about the Gospel of Judas is its utmost esotericism, let alone its views on Judas and Jesus altogether opposing or incompatible with the other sources: Judas portayed as a hero, Jesus as an emotionally disturbed entity: taunting and angry, supernatural and impatient by turns. "Christianity turned on its head," says religious historian Ehrman. Other commentators, on the other hand, see it as "one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century" and "likely to create a crisis of Christian faith."
My own opinion is not very commentative, because to me the Gospel of Judas's no big deal!
The Gospel of Judas is not a gospel at all. It is a recondite poem on a Jesus totallly unrelated to the Bible's Jesus. It begins shortly before Jesus' fatal last trip to Jerusalem. At a dinner table the disciples say grace. Jesus laughs at them. As all of them but Judas are annoyed, Jesus says that he has only laughed at their silly idea of pleasing God. Judas then tells Jesus, "You are from the immortal realm of Barbelo," the name that gnostics used to give an alleged "celestial mother." Jesus replies, "Judas step away from the others so that I can tell you the mysteries of the Kingdom."
Things are now growing downright conter-evangelic. Jesus explains that Barbelo, whose realm beyond the stars he belongs to, has a progeny, notably the Self-Generated One, the real good God, who is not the Bible's God, not the Old Testament's Eternal who is no friend of man, but rather the cause if his pains. Jesus' mission is to urge men, those lucky enough to understand that they ought to abandon the Bible's Eternal, to join the blessed realm. Now we realize that he laughed at the disciples because they kept on praying to Moses' God, who has never made men happy. Jesus sort of consecrates Judas by telling him, "Lift up your eyes, look at the stars. The star that leads the way is your star," and then Judas agrees to turn over Jesus to the high priest, which is not a tragical act, but a divine mission, and what's more probably useless, as Jesus seems to be a pure spirit and the crucifixion likely to be painless. The author of that gospel might suffer from delirium. Just imagine Jesus depicting to Judas the quite bureaucratic organization of the immortal realm. But the most counterevangelic side of the document is found in this that you don't have to love your neighbor, but just seek your star.
I dont think that the Gospel of Judas, a cock-and-bull-story, is "likely to create a crisis of Christian faith." It may, however, be likely to strengthen atheistic arguments, notably by adding one more evidence of the fragile groundlessness of religions, whose scriptural fundament is unstable and questionable, since paradoxical variants of their sources are found now and then. This atheistic argument is not absolutely unfounded, we have to admit. Which makes The Revelation of Ares even more important, because I can guarantee its genuineness and purity.

fortunate are they thanks to their virtue (Rev of Ares 28/15)
THE THOUGHT OF THE MOMENT
I've been told that "The Da Vinci Code", a novel by a Dan Brown and before long a movie by Ron Howard, portrays a murderous villain who is a member of Opus Dei. I object to those who make money from imaginary miscreations and I cry over the masses who relish them. Opus Dei is just a secular catholic society of sanctimonious persons in pursuit of "saintliness" Spanish-style: lengthy prayers, austerity, discipline or scourge, hair shirt or cilice, in other words, persons who consider "redeeming themselves" by sharing Jesus' sufferings. Quite different is our concept of penitence based on The Revelation of Ares and the change into Good: love, forgiveness, nonjudgement, peace, spiritual freedom, etc., but none of us is likely to disregard catholics who are pursuing virtue (Rev of Ares 28/15) in a world where the word has been sadly losing its meaning.
An old friend of mine (I've managed to preserve a few friendships previous to 1974) is a member of Opus Dei. He occasionally happens briefly to pilgrimage to Ares. He is no narrow-minded bigot. I imagine that he comes to Ares to get news of our assembly, as well, but we do not have anything to conceal. He is not doublehearted when he answers yes to the question "Do you love all of men and do you forgive all of offenses?", because, just as we do, he strives to follow the Sermon on the Mount. I do not know the meaning he gives the other yes in answer to the second question, "Do you believe that the Bible, the Quran and The Revelation of Ares have emanated from God?", but I am aware that he is a good man, which is enough to me. Imagining my friend to belong in a murderous or only malevolent organization would be an absurdity.
Opus Dei means The Work of God in Latin. The society was founded in 1928 by a Spanish priest, José Maria Escrivà (standing by John XXIII in 1960 in the picture), for laymen and laywomen, whether married or nor, in want to leaving the everyday life in the mortification usually observed by clergy and the monks and nuns. Apart from the catholic doctrine, worship and concept of atonement, which Opus Dei's members comply with, the everyday time they devote to self-improvement is about equal to the everyday time the Ares Pilgrims devote or are supposed to devote to gaining virtue (Rev of Ares 28/15) and piety (35/5-6) so as to become men of the time to come (30/13), harvesters of souls.
As always, whenever men in pursuit of discreet virtue are concerned, Opus Dei because of its very discretion looks shady to the big shots among sinners, who hold the reins of the world, and to their media, thrill dealers. Opus Dei is considered as a sect by a lot of people, who even suspect it of being engaged in secret malevolent activities. We Ares Pilgrims are suspected of similar misdeeds.
I do not contend that Opus Dei is in agreement with the expectations of spiritual liberation, that we Ares Pilgrims strive to actualize. Likewise, we diverge from Opus Dei's many outdated, restrictive principles. But I believe that, the day catholicism and the Aresian faith have to narrow the gap between their positions, the talks between non-clerical people of virtue will be less toilsome. The catholics are well-placed among all those who are mentioned in The Revelation of Ares' beautiful verse 25/6, which we have made a prayer. The Revelation of Ares is not to win a global victory through disavowals and defections of believers leaving their religions in droves and joining us Ares Pilgrims, because the believing masses are no longer pagan as they used to be in ancient times. The Ares Pilgrims will forever remain a small remnant. The global victory will occur through exchanges of spiritual riches and collective re-examination of the Sources except those that have clearly been ruled out like John and Paul (Rev of Ares 16/12, 35/12) and a few others.

you'll have to remain strong
Not this long ago, a bad news bearer prepared you by putting a hand on your shoulder and saying, "You'll have to remain strong." The bad news bearers has changed into the daily newpaper. It does not prepare you for shocks any more. It throws you direct into the urn which reeks and will reek more and more (the urn= our planet, Rev of Ares XIX/15), facing which the powers, religious, political or economic, tremble more and more in their sleeves (XIX/16). The modern world, a miracle of technology, is going on the blink precisely under the weight, rattling, juddering and leaks of its own technology, which is devouring it alive.
This morning the paper brings only bad news, except the 80th birthday of Elisabeth II with a begonia-colored hat. The US automotive industry is declining: Ford reports a $1,2 billion loss and General Motors a $323 million loss for the first quarter of the year. The situation keeps worsening in the Middle east, in Iraq (an insoluble political deadlock), in Afghanistan. The relations between Iran and the Western countries are getting more strained. It's not definite, at all, that Prodi swapping places with Berlusconi is favorable for Italy. The visit paid by China president Hu Jintao to George W. Bush is turning sour in Washington DC. In Nepal, the non-unlikely transition from the king to the maoists, whose guerillas have spread their ideology, would not help matters in the country. In France the political leaders reach sky-high disapproval ratings: 70% of the French are discontented with Chirac, 73% with de Villepin. And the price of oil is rising, rising...
An oil barrel costs more than $74 now, will cost $80 soon, may well be reaching $100 in the near future. It's China, whose expanding industry is in enormous need of oil, that is bidding higher than ever against other countries. She is tempting the oil producers with promises to pay similarly enormous prices. As China pays out in salaries and social expenses far less than we Westerners pay out, it has got large available funds for energy, money which we are going to lack, instead. "You're wrong," some tell me, "the government will reduce the taxes on gas and fuel." They will do so for sure, but this will not avoid the oil shortage (a few European countries have already had gas ration coupons printed), because the oil reserves will not increase as quickly as the oil requirements will in China, Asia and even Africa one of these days. In any case, if the government deduct less taxes from energy, the citizens will be granted less benefits, less schooling, less public facilities and less oil (which is to be paid, anyway). In other words, we will have to pay for oil one way or another. What's more, this won't improve matters for the jobless.
Things actually are much more complicated, but a news flash is just a news flash. A good way of cutting short this post consists in reminding that, in the late seventies, erudite analysts, who had studied The Revelation of Ares, gave the sort of wise laugh sagacious men give and told me, "Your so-called revelation heralds quite a lot of disasters. They usually guarantee a book a fine success, but they belie the economic reality." Things were rather going well in 1974, I admit. Thirty years later, we have to recognize this Word's extraordinary propheticality and, therefore, the reasonableness of its appeal for a radical change of the world (Rev of Ares 28/7).

Jesus has resurrected; we are to resurrect.
People think, of all things, that we Ares Pilgrims do not believe in Jesus' resurrection. But no, we believe in Jesus' resurrection, even though we have not made it a cardinal point of our faith unlike the faith of Paul (catholic saint-Paul).
Here's why we believe in Jesus' resurrection:
First, Jesus who visited me in 1974 was not a ghost, but a man in the flesh. He was a resurrected man, therefore, and could not be anything else.
Second, The Revelation of Ares makes us perfectly understand the context of Jesus' resurrection. Not the rising again to life of a God allegedly incarnate—would an eternal God's resurrection ever be miraculous?—, but the big psychological stimulant that the resurrection of a mortal, who had been eliminated early on his prophetic mission by the religious and political powers, would have produced to his disciples. As the disciples had been inadequately trained and fear was getting the better of them, they were going to make mistakes (Rev of Ares 5/1-5), but all would have been even worse, if they had not witnessed resurrected Jesus coming and going at will; then they would have lost faith completely. Paul realized it: "Had he not been resurrected, we would not have any message or faith (1Corinthians 15/4)."
But these very words point out that Paul, and subsequently the Churches, considered Jesus' message as worth believing and preaching only if Jesus had resurrected, so that they placed Jesus' resurrection, or rather faith in Jesus' resurrection, above the Message. Unlike this doctrine, The Revelation of Ares restores the priority of the Message and, accordingly, the deeds which the Message urges man to achieve: Grow into penitents, that is to say, be good, and harvest more penitents, a lot of them, so that the world may change! That's why the Father does not regard Paul as one who conveys the Word (Rev of Ares 16/12, 3(/12).
Just as people think erroneously that we do not believe in Jesus' resurrection, they think that we are not Christian. Admittedly, we are no catholics, no protestants, no orthodoxes, but christians we are unquestionably. We strive to follow the sermon on the hill (Matthew ch.5 to 7).
Jesus has resurrected! We proclaim it today, on Easter Sunday, together with whole Christendom. But what we see most of all in Jesus' resurrection is the proof or demonstration that every one of us will really be resurrected on the Maker's Day (Rev of Ares 31/8-13), when penitence has adequately spread on earth, so that mankind can resolutely be in favor of Good.
Alleluia!

Picture: This is not Jesus' tomb, the site of which has been unknown, but this is a (double) tomb of the time. Jesus rose from the dead in a similar cavity.

from heaven on high to elysium here below
The Revelation of Arès may have impressed France's president.
In ancient pagan times the elysium was the dwelling place of happy souls. A link might have been forged between Heaven of infinite hope and a small elysium of earthly hopes.

A short while ago, in Brussels, the European big shots met to confer on that cause of concern: energy—worrying, isn't it just!—. Ernest-Antoine Seillière, the French industry representative, stopped halfway through his address and said, "Now I continue in English," and then resumed his rhetoric in English. President Chirac rose from his chair and swept out of the committee room with the bewildered French ministries following.
No one caught on to the reason why Jacques Chirac had flown off the handle, because a man of the French delegation had suddenly taken to speaking English, because French was not a language understood by all of the audience.
The day before yesterday, a French senior civil servant—not an Ares Pilgrim, but a sympathizer—gave me this piece of information: "A few months or weeks ago, Président Chirac sent an assistant to a Paris bookstore to buy a copy of The Revelation of Ares. Apparently, he read it. At the very least, he read enough of it to be struck by the fact that a spiritual message of this caliber had been spoken in French to a French witness. Since then, the fact seems to have preyed on the president's subconscious. As proof of it, that hitch in Brussels, when Jacques Chirac, though a man of great broad-mindedness and top European expectations, was shocked, because a man of his suite had suddenly preferred speaking English to speaking French. French as the Maker's language after he has spoken Hebrew, Aramic, Greek and Arabic.
There is no way of being confirmed of the truthfulness or even the mere likelihood of what the senior civil servant said to me, but as the informer is a reliable sincere one, I have ended up considering the piece of information as, say, credible.
What can be inferred from it? That lowly apostles devoid of resources, who have had only the street and a few lecturing halls as platforms, virtually banned from any radio and television broadcasting and from the popular dailies, have managed to tell the world the news that the Maker has come back down to France, in Ares (Gironde), to prove that he exists and to correct some wrong ideas that have long gone around about his Word's meaning. The news has eventually ended up in the Elysee, the Paris presidential residence.
Here's a nice Easter present given to all of our fellow missionaries!

unending vengeance continues
The wall falls down; they (will) rebuild the mas'jy (= the mosque, Rev of Ares XV/7). Yes, they will, but what for?
This verse and all of The Revelation of Ares' chapter XV were about the war that the USSR was going to wage against traditional Afghanistan. In 1977, when I was given the message by the Maker, it was an absolute prophesy, because it has never occurred to anybody that such a war would break out. Ever since then, a lot of events have taken place throughout those countries. In Afghanistan the victory of the brothers of Muhammad (XV/3), who in the majority would be called talibans and impose a rule of intolerance on the country, which had always been more or less rampant there, anyway. Shortly afterwards, the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq by the US Army and the consequent chaos, because the governments set up by the invader do not have the natural authority, the charism very important to all Muslims.
On February 22, some sunnites explode the dome of the sacred shiite mosque in Samara, Iraq. Pathetic, just as any angry act is! People can pray elsewhere, anywhere. Sadly, vengeance is going to go on unending (Rev of Ares 27/9) and harder than ever between shiites and sunnites and even others. Believers will kill each other, just as they have done for millennia. The civil war every day is plunging Irakis into more sufferings and mournings. As a result, papers have a while been silent on the trial of Saddam Hussein who, albeit in a merciless way, had imposed peace and security in Iraq, even though he had not given Irakis freedom, and who had twenty-five years claimed less victims than the plight caused by George W. Bush has claimed for three years.
Oh no, I don't prefer the former to the latter. Every day I with anguish think and even have my eyes wet over my fellow humans, who keep on losing the right ways and suffering all over the earth. Who could still misunderstand that listening to The Revelation of Ares or merely the Sermon on the Mount not yet applied is a matter of urgency?

the Ares Pilgrims...what's that?
This blog opens its page 2. 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.
