A collection of quotes by Claude Vorilhon.
Claude Vorilhon, born on October 30, 1946, in Ambert, France, is a controversial figure known for founding the Raelian Movement. Prior to his involvement with the movement, very little is documented about Vorilhon's personal life. He worked as a French race car journalist and test driver in the 1970s under the pseudonym Rael.
In 1973, Vorilhon claimed to have had an extraordinary encounter with extraterrestrial beings, who revealed to him that they were the Elohim, creators of humanity. Following this encounter, he changed his name to Raël and established the Raelian Movement in 1974. The movement promotes a belief system centered around the idea that life on Earth was created by advanced extraterrestrial beings, known as the Elohim. Raël claims to be their final prophet and shares their messages to guide mankind toward peace, love, and harmony.
Throughout his life, Raël has gained significant media attention, often stirring controversy for various reasons. The Raelian Movement, under Raël's leadership, has faced criticism for its unconventional beliefs, including claims of human cloning and advocating for free sex and sexual experimentation.
Despite the criticism surrounding him, Raël continues to be active within the Raelian Movement, spreading his teachings and overseeing the activities of its members worldwide.
