Don't Ask Why
Recorded during the Asian Happiness Academy, June 14th, 71 aH, Okinawa, Japan
Are you happy?
Can you be more happy than now?
No.
Happiness is a binary system,
you are happy,
or not happy.
You cannot be half happy,
cannot be 90% happy.
You are happy,
or not.
Feel it,
it's a very interesting
exercise.
Sometimes we have...
everybody in life has ups and downs.
When you wake up, and sometimes feeling
a little bit down,
everybody,
it happens to everybody.
Whenever it happens, can be morning,
usually more afternoon...
you sit down
and you just ask yourself
a very beautiful question,
"Am I happy or not?"
Then when you do that, you talk to your supraconsciousness,
and you have to wake up the little snail.
Because most of the time,
we think, we think and we think...
And the most terrible question,
"Why?"
That's the most depressing question you can have.
Depressed people, deeply depressed people,
they always ask,
"Why?"
It's a poison question, "Why I cannot sleep?"
"Why it's happening to me?"
"Why I don't feel good?"
All "why's"
are poison.
The good question,
"Am I happy?"
Am I.
This is, "Am I,"
it's completely different.
"Why?"
pushes your brain to
question, to think more.
"Why? WHY?"
But when you ask, "Am I?"
suddenly the brain
says, "What? I cannot answer that!"
And then you can feel, suddenly,
feel.
Because thinking
can never bring happiness,
never.
But when you feel,
it naturally comes.
So when you have a big down,
when you feel, "Life is terrible, I need some alcohol
a need a drug,
I need a sleeping pill, I need..."
You say,
"Am I so unhappy?"
And you look outside,
beautiful trees,
or people walking in the street if there're no trees,
or buildings,
even a factory...
You look,
and you ask,
"Am I so unhappy?"
Then, that brings you 'now',
because it's the present.
"Am I
so unhappy?"
"Am I
happy?"
And the answer is, "I am"
I am.
When you... just when you say these two magical words,
"I am,"
you feel,
you feel now,
here.
But if you ask why,
you talk to the past.
Why, meaning, "What created this
bad feeling?"
So, you travel in the past.
Do you understand the difference?
"Why?" automatically
you can travel, "Ah it's because
ten years ago I had this problem..."
and you quit the present.
You leave the present.
"Ah, it's because yesterday,
somebody told me this thing and it affected me..."
You are not now.
"Ah, it's because, when I was a child
my father was terrible with me."
"Why?" always brings you in the past.
So this word, you must
completely remove it from your vocabulary
for being,
for happiness.
You can use it for science,
for research, for...
that's very different.
But not for happiness.
Happiness
cannot fit together with "why?"
"Why I cannot sleep?"
You cannot sleep.
"Why I cannot have an orgasm?"
You cannot have an orgasm.
It's the same.
"Why I cannot feel meditation?"
No meditation.
Because "why?" is thinking,
and thinking is always
'past',
always!
And, depressed people,
always try to find a new reason,
a new explanation, and
sometimes, for hours and hours, repeat the same thing.
They always have the illusion
that by thinking
more and more about their depression,
they will find
the real reason,
"Ah, maybe I miss some vitamin."
"Maybe I miss some nutriments."
A lot of people are making money with that...
"Ah, you are depressed because you don't have enough magnesium."
"Not enough vitamin C."
"Ah, your body is too much acidic..."
and all this bullshit you find on the internet.
The only thing which makes you depressed
is, "why?"
You have everything you need in the food,
in vegetables, meat,
eggs.
If you eat normal food
there is everything, there is no need for extra vitamins.
The Elohim didn't create us to eat pills
or supplements.
Elohim created us,
and vegetables, and fruits, and
animals, with everything inside.
You have everything you need in food
but, by
trying to find something missing, "why? why?"
and then another "why?"
and people are unhappy forever.
If you stop asking "why?"
you are 'now'.
If you have an orgasm,
you don't ask why.
For those who are lucky enough to really have a great orgasm,
you don't want to know why.
Eh? Can you imagine,
"Ah, ah... why?"
So stupid!
And it stops immediately, eh?
You just feel, and enjoy, and fly...
The same when you fall asleep,
when the brainwaves go down, at the limit, there is a
beginning of sleep, that if you are very
conscious, you can feel,
you can feel that you are falling asleep.
If you ask, "Why?"
Finish!
It's finished!
When you do meditation,
if you listen to my cassettes of meditation,
the cassette is finished, CD,
MP3...
you listen,
you feel, and if you say, "Why?"
It's finished! Forget it!
Don't waste your time meditating if you ask why.
Happiness,
no "why."
You feel
and you enjoy.
So, if you feel
not perfectly happy now,
you are thinking.
If you stop thinking,
right now!
Right now,
on your chair,
in front of me,
far or near...
if you feel,
now,
it's the most happy time of all your life.
Why?
No!
No "why?" Just feel it!
Just feel it!
But the brain always, automatically, "Why he says that?"
"Why now is better than before?"
It's not better than before because you ask why.
Try, for one, just one time,
'now'
exactly now.
When I will move my finger down,
it will be the
most happy, the happiest,
moment of you entire life!
Ok? Ready?
At three...
Don't ask "why?"
If not you will say, "Oh, that was funny." No!
One,
two,
now!
Feel it,
right now,
it's the happiest moment of my life.
It can be for you also,
if you stop asking "why?"
"Why Maitreya can, and I cannot?"
Thinking.
Feel it.
It works, even with the most depressed people.
If some people among you are experiencing depression,
you remember
when you wake up,
because you sleep a little bit.
Every morning, very depressed people
they wake up,
for a few seconds
they say, "Ah, wow, I feel good."
"My depression is finished,"
and then,
they get up, and it starts.
Why they feel so good when they wake up?
Because when they sleep
it's the only time when they stop thinking.
So suddenly the brain can rest a little bit,
and they wake up and say, "Wow,
finished, no more depression!"
"Tonight, I will not need sleeping pills,
I don't need medicine."
For one minute, two minutes, they are like that.
Only because during the
four, five, or six hours they could sleep
the brain didn't have, "why?"
So "why?" is a poison,
in everything you do in life.
'Feel' is a treasure.
"Why infinity?"
"Why Elohim?"
Why am I alive?
So, it's poison, everywhere.
Feel.
I am alive,
I don't want to know why.
I am happy,
I don't want to know why.
If I try to know why, I lose my happiness!
I have a beautiful orgasm with a sexy partner,
I don't want to know why.
You are in love with somebody,
the most stupid question,
"Why you love me?"
If a girl tells me, "Why you love me?"
My answer is, "No, I don't anymore!"
"Why?"
"Because you ask why?"
You love,
don't try to understand why.
Feel,
just feel.
You love life,
depressed people will say, "Why do you love life?"
There is no reason to love life,
there is no reason to be happy.
If you...
if you need a reason to smile,
you don't smile.
"Why are you smiling?"
People told you sometimes, "Why are you smiling?"
"For no reason."
"Why are you laughing?"
"For no reason."
They want a reason, because they say, "Why?"
"Why?"
"Why the Elohim created life on Earth?"
I don't want to know.
I'm happy,
the Earth is beautiful,
you are beautiful,
we are happy together,
because we don't ask "why?"
Happiness is in your life,
in the infinite successions of now.
You feel,
when I say, "One, two, three, now is the most beautiful time of your life,"
for one second,
but
don't stop after one second,
next second also,
and the next second also,
no need to stop.
If you stop it's because suddenly you ask, "Why?"
You stay happy in an infinite succession of 'now'.
In happiness
there is no past
and no future,
there is only now.
If there is only now,
now is eternal.
Now is eternal.
Do you feel that?
If you feel
this happiness for just one second...
I ask why,
for the first time, why are you stopping?
Continue, stay like that!
It's just, keep this feeling,
slowly,
kindly,
and laughing,
because this happiness makes you laugh.
You cannot laugh and ask, "Why?"
You know, some people, I'm sure everybody experienced what we call
a "fou rire" (giggles) in French, crazy laughing.
You know, when you start laughing, and
and you cannot stop,
and you cry, and
you want to say something, and you want to stop,
but you cannot speak,
and you cannot stop, eh? That's a good feeling.
You cannot talk.
Why?
Because you cannot think!
You cannot think, the laughing is so big, that...
and you say, "I'm not, I need to calm down."
And no, you continue to laugh!
This is one of the most beautiful things which can happen to you,
like the Buddha,
laughing,
you cannot think and laugh.
If something makes you laugh,
you cannot say, "Ah, this is funny."
"I will laugh about it tomorrow morning."
Impossible.
It's now, or never.
Orgasm also.
"Oh, good orgasm. No, tomorrow I will have it."
Good meditation,
"Wow, no, I will stop. I will do it tomorrow."
No. Now!
In the eternal now.
One question,
do you feel
eternity?
Do you feel it more now than
ten minutes before?
When you feel infinity,
you feel it all the time.
And infinity is love.
When you feel love,
you feel it eternally.
When you feel compassion,
real compassion,
the feeling to laugh
and to make everybody laugh,
you feel it eternally.
You want to make all the planet laugh,
that's our mission.
That's more important than
spreading the Message of the Elohim.
Because that's the only way to save humanity.
Meditate one minute for peace,
that's not serious.
I see sometimes Raelians, they meditate one minute for peace.
Laugh!
You will attract more people to meditate with you.
They will come to you and say, "Why are you laughing?"
They ask, "Why?" You say,
"Because I'm not asking why."
"Because I am peace,
I am love,
I am infinity.
Because I want everybody on Earth to be peaceful
full of love and compassion for
everything alive on Earth.
And this is now.
Feel the now inside you.
Touch your heart
Do you feel it beating?
Feel it. If you cannot feel it
touch the neck,
or here, anyplace you can feel the heartbeat.
You should be able to feel it everywhere.
So now,
what is the most important heartbeat of your life?
The one, one year ago?
The first one when you were a baby?
The last one the day you will die?
What is the most important heart beat of your life?
Now, of course, if it stops it's finished!
No more images,
no more sound,
finish.
So, the heart is more intelligent than you.
Think about your heart, feel it.
Don't think!
Always feel you heart.
And when you are not happy
the heart is wondering, "Why am I beating?"
Depressed people always say, "Why am I alive?"
Why am I breathing?
They ask why.
And they kill themselves.
If they stop asking why,
feel you heart beat,
magic,
it never stops.
If it stops,
finish.
You are breathing,
you don't need to think about breathing.
When you sleep
you don't say,
"I must breath."
No.
Your natural intelligence, natural order,
takes care of it.
You don't think about breathing.
You don't think about your heart beat,
you don't say, "Oh wait a minute, you need to beat now!"
Naturally.
Your digestion. You had breakfast this morning, it's
now, there is a big factory
digesting everything you ate.
You don't think about it.
You don't say, "Hey, please, stomach, extract the vitamins,
put the magnesium there."
No!
It doesn't require thinking,
it's automatic.
It's the same for happiness.
Don't think about it, let it happen,
let it rain on you,
let it flow,
let it be.
"Let it be, let it beeee..."
Beautiful song, "Let it be."
It's natural,
you are born to be happy.
And when you lose your happiness
you think.
Thinking is a poison,
it's what creates wars, Fukushima,
depression,
diseases,
cancers,
everything.
Just be,
be in the now.
Now, I will give you a little tip
to avoid
losing this happiness.
People are so desperate to be happy that
they use alcohol.
What happens when you drink a lot of alcohol?
Eh? you stop thinking!
No thinking.
But, it's poison.
Or they use drugs. Some people shoot themselves with a drug,
immediately the brain stops thinking.
That's the goal of every drug.
That's why people become addicted to drugs
or alcohol,
or tobacco,
because, suddenly,
the brain stops thinking,
or thinks differently
and it feels good.
But if you feel 'now'
you don't need alcohol,
drugs,
medicine,
nothing.
You have everything inside you.
Just an example,
how, of how
tricky the brain is...
Some countries
like Mexico,
Korea,
love spicy food.
What happens when you eat spicy food?
I mean, really spicy food.
I went to Mexico one time,
there were 5 kinds of strength of 'spicy'.
Very strong,
strong,
normal,
a little strong and not strong.
I take "not strong at all,"
I taste it,
smoke coming out...
And all the Mexican Raelians,
they ate the strongest.
And they look at me and say, "Really?"
You are addicted to drugs.
What happens when you eat spicy food?
You damage your tongue,
you burn your cells on your tongue,
that's why Mexico,
Korea, and every country which eats very spicy food,
has the highest number of mouth cancer.
Irritation,
inflammation,
infection, cancer...
What happens when you burn?
Your brain doesn't want you to suffer,
so, the brain, immediately
creates a drug,
which is very similar to
heroine,
to stop the pain.
That this drug stops the pain,
but it makes you feel good.
That's why people are addicted to spicy food.
Many people were surprised when there is a car accident,
some people lose one arm,
and they have pain, but not so much.
They lose... the arm falls,
and they have pain, but ok.
And you touch a little bit the heater,
and wow! you scream like crazy,
because the body says, "Oh, it's just a little burn,
no need to send the drug."
Arm is cut,
this is a big pain,
drug is coming,
if not, you will die of pain.
And the same process when you eat spicy food,
which is very bad for you,
so the body wants to feel good
by creating drugs.
That's why you can be addicted to spicy food,
the same as you can be addicted to alcohol or to,
heroine, cocaine, tobacco...
So kimchi, soft kimchi please.
I try the kimchi, one time,
I cannot eat it.
Everything which burns
is bad for your health.
That's why it's burning!
Everything too hot...
Japanese people,
mouth cancer, a lot in Japan,
because they drink tea too hot.
And, for dessert,
ice cream,
very cold, which is burning also.
You know in winter, if you put your fingers in snow, long time,
very strong pain.
With ice cream you do the same on your tongue.
And the brain, creates the drug.
So be careful with the self generated drugs.
Never eat spicy,
never eat or drink
hot food, burning food.
I always wait,
meditation. You wait until it cools down, and you breath, and
you feel the now, you smell.
And the same, ice cream, I never eat ice cream.
I like ice cream, but I let it melt in my plate.
When it becomes
liquid, like a cream, then...
I don't want to burn my mouth.
So to feel the now,
you don't need any, anything.
This natural drug,
beautiful drug,
just balance
of feeling now,
is generated by the brain,
that's happiness.
And you can stay like that forever.
So, a little trick
to feel it more.
You all experience this
moment, very short moment of...
we call it 'enlightenment'.
Everybody explored it
at list one time in his life.
You can be looking at the sunrise,
listening to music,
looking at somebody...
You can be walking somewhere,
making music,
anything,
when suddenly you feel
one with everything,
and you, "Wow! Wow!"
You don't know why
and you don't ask why,
because if you ask why, you lose it.
Everybody,
at least one time.
For me it's before being
who I am now.
It happened four times in my life.
I was a little child
in the garden of my grandmother,
lying down on my back
and looking, in October,
before the swallows,
little birds, swallows...
Tsubame? (swallows) Suzume (sparrows)
Suzume? (sparrows)
Swallows,
Tsubame? (swallows)
Swallows, you know, the swallows,
there were hundreds of them.
They come together in October
before migrating
to the south,
turning
and singing,
and I felt one with
each of these birds.
I felt one with the Earth, with everything.
I was, maybe five years old,
that was the first time in my life.
The second time I was about fifteen, sixteen.
Maybe you had a similar experience,
lying down under a cherry tree
with many flowers,
and the petals, like sakura,
slowly falling,
and happiness was
unreal.
I was becoming the sky, the trees,
each petal falling.
And the third time I was in Madrid,
after the first encounter with the Elohim
giving a public speech.
An afternoon,
walking in the street of Madrid,
suddenly a poem
came,
and I was
talking and saying this poem,
which I made,
and, wow!
I was
in space...
And there was the fourth time.
But,
what is important?
Everybody has this experience.
Remember when it was happening to you,
remember,
try to remember clearly,
you could have been a little child,
a little bit later, a little adult, it doesn't matter.
Remember this feeling,
it's different for everybody.
You probably had it
three, four, five times in your life,
you don't know why,
and you don't want to know why,
but remember the feeling.
Remember the feeling the first time,
the second time,
the third time,
the fourth time,
put them together,
and feel again
by mixing
the four or five feelings,
automatically
it comes back now.
It's magic,
if you feel it,
you feel the past experience.
You don't think about the past,
you feel again,
this is past experience. Put them together
and immediately,
like magic,
you have it again.
Do it,
it's magic.
Then, by doing it regularly,
you can keep
this enlightenment
forever.
Me, I'm with you now, talking,
but I'm with my little swallows
at the same time,
I'm making the poem in Madrid,
I'm under the cherry tree,
right now,
all mixed,
and that's why I can
be with you.
Do it.
You have a treasure in your memory.
Don't think about the past,
feel it.
Why not forever?
If you ask why,
you cannot.
If you feel,
they all come together,
because this is an infinity machine,
and when you ask why,
you limit it.
When you feel,
everything is together,
everything
and nothing.
Because everything is nothing.
Everything and nothing are the same,
it's infinity.
Like if I give half infinity to you,
it's still infinity.
Now,
we are here
and now.
And normal people
believe
happiness is here
and now.
But, what is now?
What is now?
Ah, now is... what time is it?
Ten
fifty
and twenty seconds.
So now it is 10:50 and 20 seconds.
Is it? No.
Ten fifty, twenty seconds and
ten thousandth of a second.
Is it now?
No, because ten fifty and twenty
thousandth of a second can be divided more.
So, right now it is ten fifty,
and maybe one billionth of a second.
But can it be divided more?
Of course, yes.
You can divide it how many times?
Infinitely!
Infinity in time,
so there is no now!
Now, when I do that with my hand,
galaxies,
planets,
millions of generations of people die and are born
on the little planet in my finger,
some of them, maybe thinking,
"Wow, wait a minute."
"What is time?"
And in the giant being we are inside of,
during all your life,
he could just have moved the finger.
This is a beautiful teaching of Elohim.
So, there is no now.
We are in eternity,
part of eternity,
in an infinite succession of now.
So, when you really feel now,
you feel
all the past,
all the future,
which both are infinity,
in an illusion of now,
because there is no now.
We are part of this eternity.
Now, is there any 'here'?
Where are we?
In Asia? Yes.
More precisely.
In Japan? No.
Okinawa?
But, this city, what is the name of this city?
Onna-son
Eh? But no. We are in this room,
you are on your chair.
On your chair?
Where are you?
The "you" is on the right cheek?
Eh?
Or the left part of your ass?
Where are you?
Anus?
Maybe...
Which part of the anus?
Where is you?
"It's my brain."
Ok, it's my brain. Where, which part?
Which part?
Because if there is a precise
place where you are if there is a "here."
Between my right ear and my left ear.
Right in the middle.
Why?
Why more than front or up?
"Maitreya you are teaching it, it is in the supraconsciousness."
Ok, the supraconsciousness is made of many neurons.
Which one?
Which one?
The middle one?
We don't know.
And it's made of more smaller molecules,
and smaller atoms,
and particles,
so there is no here.
There is no here, it's an illusion.
We are everywhere
and nowhere.
And we are now
and in the infinity of time.
When you feel that,
you don't need any drug,
you don't need any alcohol.
You are everywhere
and nowhere,
in space,
and time.
Enjoy this meditation.
