Paradism

On May 1st 2025, we celebrate 50 Years of Advancing Paradism: The Economic System for Humanity’s Golden Age

On May 1st, as part of this year's International Paradism Day, the Raelians commemorate the 50th anniversary of the recommendations given by the Elohim to guide humanity toward the golden age. The Elohim—a Hebrew plural term often mistranslated as "God"—are the scientific creators of life on Earth, whose existence and wisdom were revealed by their messengers, the prophets, and recorded in religious scriptures throughout history.

In the message delivered by the Elohim to RAEL in 1975, significant warnings were shared about the challenges humanity must overcome to transition to the next level of civilization—a planetary and paradisiacal society. This new civilization would be built on a mode of production powered by intelligent robots that foster abundance and a societal system called Paradism, where work and money are no longer necessary.

We have been both warned and advised. For 50 years, the Raelians have tirelessly worked to spread the Elohim’s messages to the world and its leaders. Persisting in ignoring these messages could plunge humanity into devastating suffering, ultimately risking extinction.

Among the Elohim’s recommendations, the economic ones stand out as pivotal. The economic system lies at the heart of the challenges we face, intricately connected to militarization, overpopulation, and the ecological and biological degradation of our planet.

In their messages, the Elohim describe in great detail their technologically advanced society—a heaven where they live eternally and scientifically recreate deserving humans. They invite us to follow in their footsteps and establish a paradise on Earth, as it is in heaven, by liberating ourselves from the bondage of work and money through the advanced technology we have recently developed.

The economic system proposed by the Elohim is neither capitalism nor communism. Capitalism divides society by concentrating wealth in the hands of an exploitative class, while communism suppresses innovation and restricts freedom. What the Elohim advocate is a solution to our financial and economic crises, as well as to the challenges posed by disruptive technologies fostering abundance. This system guarantees social justice, ensures everyone benefits from the quality of life made possible by modern technology, and maximizes freedom—the freedom to fulfill our potential and live the lives we aspire to.

The Raelians observe with deep concern as humanity’s leaders continue to take actions that go against the Elohim’s guidance. Without wisdom, the technology that could bring freedom and abundance instead leads to oppression and misery. Without love, we compete when we could unite, choosing the path to hell instead of the path to paradise.

On May 1st, Raelians across five continents will take to the streets to engage with the public, connect through social networks, and deliver lectures and interviews. Their goal is to inform humanity about the recommendations of the creators of life on Earth—an advanced race from space—on how to safely implement the disruptive new technologies that are transforming our economic systems, while establishing Paradism: a society of abundance, free from work and money.
