In this episode of It's Giving Sus... we uncover the mysteries surrounding the Raelian Movement. We start by exploring the life of Claude Vorilhon, a former French journalist who claimed to have been contacted by extraterrestrial beings in the 1970s. Renaming himself "Rael," he founded the Raelian Movement, promoting a belief system that centers around the idea that humans are the creation of alien scientists called the "Elohim." We examine the intricate details of the movement's foundational text, "The Message from the Designers," which forms the core of their ideology. Throughout the episode, we examine Raelians' fascinating principles and practices. From their advocacy for science and technology to their strong stance on sexual freedom and cloning, we dissect their unique perspective on spirituality, human potential, and the future of humanity. We explore the movement's aims of building an embassy to welcome extraterrestrial beings and discuss their vision of creating an "Intelligent Design" society. However, we also acknowledge the controversies surrounding the Raelians. We discuss the criticism and skepticism they face, the accusations of being a cult, and the controversies surrounding their claimed achievements, such as human cloning. Watch now to help us navigate these controversies.
This episode discusses the first part of the new Netflix Series, Rael: The Alien Prophet.
