At Arès, France, in 1974 and 1977, the absolute Being makes a frail (Sign xLvii/9) contemptible (21/3) being‘s throat (xxxi/16) a Light (ix/8) fountain, a just prophet (xxxvii/2), whom He names Mikal (xLvii/9) or the hawk (or falcon xvi/14-15, xix/24, xLv/14-26). The hawk begets other hawks (xLv/14). Whenever a missionary says this to people he or she meets, most of them do not care and even scoff at it. They cannot understand — understand in an absolute sense — that the event of Arès opens an unhoped-for door to Good, to the root of Eternity, in other words to the Being that only a few earthlings conscious that they are some dust from the Being can sense.
The Being is more than God; It is Life and All that stems from It infinitely.
For almost forty eight years I have slowly, though firmly, realized that the Being as well as His vestige which the being is — I am, you are, the other one is the being in an effort to retrieve the Being, or Life (Sign 24/5) — are not philosophical concepts. Being and being as words are just noise (ii/7-13, vii/4-16, xi/4-6, etc.) and sinful humans cannot hear well but the noise, though by the exercise of love, which The Sign calls penitence, they can sense the distant track of the Being in the mists of Truth.
When I say Being and Non Being or being and non being, I have Parmenides (circa 500 before Christ) in mind, who sang “the Being is” but the “Non Being is not”.
But what is It ? What is It not ?
The Sign gives an answer: Open your throat, give the Word, (so) It is (i/4).

“The eternal silence of the infinite spaces frightens me,” Blaise Pascal (“Thoughts”).
The Being is the Unlimited Power of Ceation,
part of which we are and into which our souls will melt away

All that brings back the human to his spiritual Chilhood (Sign 13/5), which the Word of Arès calls Salvation, is the Being.
The converse is the Non Being, specifically that which does not save or is not saved.
By beings, for want of a right word in man’s language, which is always inadequate, we can mean the sinful vestiges of the Being, that is, all of sinners, us included.
Masses at this time constitute the huge citadel, which the cement of sin has concreted (rejection of the Light), the transient system of Non Being that Adam once created (Sign 2/1-5) opposite Life or opposite the Being that Adam did not want and his descendants still do not want.
The Non Being, which is a reality, but a nothingness by nature — nothingness is void, but takes up a large amount of space, hence its reality —, is the Being what Adam once created (Sign 2/1-5), it is the Being turned down, life generating the void or at least the threat of the void. Nowadays the being, which is a debris of the Being, still like better aging, illness and death than his Mother Life. The non being likes better the neverending vengeance (27/9) of his justice than never-ending love. Why? This is a mystery.
We are sent out to get the world out of that mystery.
Would anyone understand what the being is, who is a piece of Being debris, he or she must bear in mind that the being dies after a few decades of life under illusions, notably illusion about his or her existentiality and sustainability.
The woman bears the organs of human genesis, so she is the flower of the short earthly life; the man pollinates from flower to flowerer. Once the being is dead, he or she can outlast himself or herself through the soul, but he or she has no sex or brain anymore. Only Mercy makes him or her last. The being is to last ad infinitum only if he or she used to love his or hers neighbor when terrestrial; love gives capability of returning to root Being, that is, the One, Love, Life (24/3-5). Abraham, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, Mouhamad, and so on, are possibly beings that are melted or being melting into into the Being. sont possiblement des êtres fondus ou en cours de fusion dans l’Être. Ici bas on ne peut rien percevoir du rapport entre être et Être.
Note that here below one cannot perceive by the senses the link between being and Being. Only metaphysics-eyed people can.
We Arès Pilgrims are assigned the task of deconstructing the citadel of the world (Sign 28/7), its way of life as well as its philosophy. We have to make the Children (13/5) of Life (24/5) see the Light again (12/4). This is a hard task entirely left to man’s will, because he has been created free (10/10), he cannot but live free, and because the Maker cannot remove freedom from man and avoid destroying the crown jewel of His Creation.
The deconstruction of the citadel of the world was begun by Noah, Abraham, Moses, the prophet, Buddha, Jesus, Mouhamad and others who were milestones along the paths towards the Heights. The Arès Pilgrim are a new milestone. Is it to be the last one? There is an absence of precisions about it in The Sign, because The Sign does not tell fortunes, it leaves up to man, the Child (Sign 13/5), to recreate himself freely. It tells man only this : Be a penitent (10/6, 33/32)! Man grows or does not grow into a penitent or, in metaphysical language, he is or he is not.
The Eternal tells Moses :
I am Who is
(or I am Who I am).
Tell the sons of Israel:
“I am has sent me to you” (Exodus 3/14).
Being in an absolute sense means Being eternally Sanctity, Power and Light (Sign 12/4) in infinite reference to the conscience of Good.
What am I really?
If I am what the world has made me, I am not, but the world is, the world which is liable to spoilage and destructible.
If I am the Child (Sign 13/5) if the Mother-Father who has returned to me (viii/6), I am the being who is to return to the absolute Being.
I am completely free to choose (Sign 10/10); I freely am penitent or non-penitent, as The Sign goes.
The man in the street, whom I address usually, fails to understand how free he is either to be nothing or reintegrate the Being farther than the Infinite.
I devoted myself to the subsidiary from 1929 to 1974; I have given myself to the necessary ever since 1974, and even not of my own accord. Life called on me a mediocre guy to follow It. Why me ? It is not known. That’s what it was then, for the being and the Being do not merge in this world, they are just relatives. I have been called on to awake in man’s nature love, forgiveness, peace, intelligence big-hearted and free from all prejudices, in short, the Attributes of the Being or of Life from Whom man has issued. Ever since 1974 I have devoted myself to metaphysical puzzlement, which is the only item worth fretting about — what sort of substratum is mine and is it one of destiny? —, because the Mother-Father has asked me to refute that which the thinking animal carelessly names life. Yet, life is something else, to live is to be in order to retrieve the Being. To be is not a state or condition like a stone is a stone on a footpath or an oak is an oak in a forest. To be a human is an end in itself just as God, the Father, Allah, the Eternal, or Life is an End in Himself.
If, on the one hand, Life is the Being in the Infinite and if, as Life has scattered into the Infinite, to be a human means to live among the countless living, and if, on the other hand, Life si the clearest Name The Sign gives to God, the Father, the Maker (9/6, 24/3-5, 25/3, 38/5, 39/5, xix/26), the global and coherent view of the Being and all the beings generated by the Being deserves and summons the courage of an acceptance, even though the occurence, albeit huge, has kept mysterious because it is traceless and can only be detected by a sixth sense, in other words metaphysical. The major issue of the earthly future is the clash between the men that have and the men that have not the sixth sense, at the expense of love and happiness.
Lively in peace Mikal should be, says The Sign (xxii/21) regarding the hawk. Lively=completely living, that is, living and having the metaphysical sense. Each fledgling (xLv/14) has to be lively in turn, sooner or later.
The Being exists, as He spoke to men at Arès, France. Does the Non Being exist? It is the void, Democritus said. Some humans are definitive non beings and are going to remain so as specters (Sign 4/6-7, 16/15-16, 31/2, etc.). But almost all humans are provisional non beings. Only penitents can be claimed to cope with it.
The absolute Being is a Saint, a Powerful one, One of Light (Sign 12/4) ; He is Love (12/7, 32/3). We know that there are large amounts of lives, starting with the lives of the fickle penitents that we are, wich are just sporadic epigones of Life, but we hope that this flaw will not prevent us from ascending to the Heights.
