Soul Ray is with God.
"Then he is safe.”
Now we shall tell you, as we have
said before, of karma, and how karma, or sin, as some would call it, would affect
thee. This [thee] must understand, [that] what would be sin to man, nay, would
never be sin to God. Therefore, man would make his own sin.
Therefore (cough), therefore, as
God has spoke before, “an eye for an eye,” this would mean -- we should tell it
to you in this way, that as you are born and born again you know of these
things. You know from which thy have come. And by knowing, it is your own free
choice that you overcome, as you would call it, karmas. Therefore, as thy have
done to others, so it shall be done to you, for you shall choose this. And then
again, should thy do unto others wrongly, but then know of this wrong and
correct it within thyself, then there no longer is a karma for the next life or
this. This is what was meant by, “an eye for an eye.”
Can thy understand this?
"Yes,
Aka.”
Now, as we have said before, what has
been before shall be again, that in the days of Atlantis, that Atlantis shall arise
and shall fall again, but only if man can not learn from his past mistakes. But
we would speak of man; and when we speak of man, we speak of the body, the soul
and the spirit. Without all three upon your earth plane, there is nothing.
Now, we would tell you of [a]
new-born spirits. This you must realize, there are being, even today, spirits
entering for the first time into the soul, and the soul entering into man.
These we would call new spirits or new souls. The older spirits who have chose
since the beginning of time to enter -- as we told you before of a ladder --
they had had a better chance to climb this ladder, and also a better chance to
fall from it. But, in God’s eyes, as we have said before, if they are only able
to shed but one tear for God, and this is all they have, it is as much as those
who have shed many.
Then you say, “Why should I try so
hard; why should I try in my climb up the ladder, when those who have ability
to shed one could climb above me?” And we would say to [you] in this way -- in
man’s eyes all are not equal, in God’s eyes all men
are equal. Therefore, that soul that is on this plane and that is only capable
of shedding that one tear should climb. Those who are able to shed many tears
shall climb. But those who stop on the ladder to help another shall climb
tenfold.
Can thy understand this?
"Yes,
Aka.”
Now, there is one among you who
asks, “May I change my job?” To this one, we would say, if you are changing for
the betterment of your family and the welfare of your fellow man, do so. But if
you are changing for the betterment of yourself only, then walk by yourself.
This one would ask, “What is God?” And
we would say to you, that in the beginning God created man in our image. Can you understand this, Bartholomew?
Nay. Nay.
Then we would say it -- we would say it in a
different way. As thy walk the ladder and do not climb, it is better, then, to
walk with thy hand in God’s [than] walk it by thyself. Now, may thy understand
this?
“Yes.” [He answers.]
They say, yes, but thy mean, no.
At a different time we shall discuss this again. If thy would
wait one moment; permission must be given.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes. Permission has been given for
thy request. Therefore, we would let one who’d thy better understand speak with
thee.
[Editor’s note: These words are spoken in a different voice with a Kentucky
drawl -- Edgar Cayce.]
“Yeh, we (chuckle)
-- boy, you’ve got a problem. But, we’ll see if we can’t help you. You know,
before, it was harder for me, for with my own background, I kind of, kind of,
didn’t very well understand it myself. I even thought that by using it to build
something for other people, that the material things, that I could use [those]
for this. Each time I tried, I failed. The reason for this, is what I didn’t
realize, was where my information was truthfully coming from. I thought it as
many things. But that wasn’t right at all. Now, over here, it’s quite
different.”
[Editor’s note: These words continue in the first voice -- Aka.]
Now, we would say to thee, for your
other answers, look into thy self, and ask again. But do it in this way. For
two days, think, as thy would go to sleep at night,
first of God, then of us, that we might come to you. And we shall, if you want
this. If thy do not want it, then this we cannot do, for permission always must
be given, both from [thee?] and from God. Now can thy understand this?
"I think so. May I ask a question,
Aka?”
[The same
man asks.]
Yes.
"Was I just now listening to Edgar
Cayce, just previously?”
You ask now as a child. But we would
answer your question, but permission must be given. If thy
would wait, one moment, please.
Yes.
Permission has been given.
Yes, you were listening, as you
would call it, to Edgar Cayce. For now, he is with God. He shall return again
on this world at a different time of his own choosing, for then, again, the
world shall need him. He shall return, not precisely on the day he thought. But
he shall return at the time when the Messiah returns, and therefore, he shall
sit in council.
Can thy understand this?
"Yes.”
Now, soul John, we see, has a
problem. And we would say again, as has been said before to soul John, have thy
no faith -- at least a drop enough
that thy may catch the blood from thy wound? Must thy always be as Thomas? Quit
doubting yourself. We call thee John because in thy heart thy
are John.
Thy want to know
from which thy came. We could give you this, all but one life. This thy must realize thyself, the one life.
Therefore – yes -- yes, we have the
body, the soul and the spirit of soul [D____].
We find thee entering in a country
known at this time as Ethiopia -- therefore, the very beginning of man. For
your information, we would tell you, thy walked quite differently than thy do
now.
Then, we see many more entries here.
This is before man learned to count.
Yes. Yes.
Now, we find the entry, on the sixth birth, the
entry of the soul. But still again, the spirit will not enter this time with
the soul.
We go forward again in time, eight
more births. And at this time, the soul, the spirit shall enter together, and
therefore, making complete.
We see that evolution, in itself,
has been very [kind] on this life plane. It has provided this soul, in more
complete form, for the atmospheric conditions in which it is born. Now, at this
time, you feel completely out of place in your surroundings. We see you are
very restless. Your mind is grasping and reaching forward -- a very psychic
[flickers] this time.
Yes. Yes.
Now, we find this soul again, entry
again, this time still again before man can count. This time you are looking
toward the heavens from which thy came – yes -- and you’re wondering. We see thee
in a field gathering, as thy would call it, wild
wheat. You, at this time, have learned how to use this substance. You are
thinking in your mind at this time, “If all these things are here, how did they
come, and from where did I come?”
And then we see -- and then we see
again, birth, again, at this time in a land known, as you would call it, here,
within a very few miles of here. We are not allowed at this time to give you
the information to the exact location to this birth. On this plane, you are
building a temple. Therefore, your temple is to the sun god, as you would call
it. But in your heart you know, even though you are worshiping the sun, you know there is something even greater
than the sun. At this time, and in this lifetime, you would live nine-hundred [900] years. In this lifetime you would learn of the solar system. You
would learn, with your mathematical deductions, that the earth, this earth, is
round. You are learning also of the sky, of the universe and the universes.
Now, at this time, we see a birth
again, at this point within almost ten miles of this same present location. At
this time, we find you being born at 1002 B.C.
Yes.
Yes, we find this.
At this time you are born with the full
knowledge from [which] you have came, and all the knowledge you have had before
is with you. And from the knowledge that thy have created, [they] are creating
a new world. But you have been born at the end of a world, and an end that thy realize. But the same discoveries that you started, and
others of your kind -- this you must realize, that others of you were born in
five places of the world before. Man would destroy, completely destroy his self
with the knowledge he [has] at this time. For this time, after conference with
priest Akkan, priest Ra-Tai and yourself, it has been
decided that all knowledge would be buried, therefore, [for] man to discover
again.
Now, we must omit your next
reincarnation, as you would call it, or birth, or entry. This time, you -- and
because we call you at this time, David -- you must know of it yourself.
Now, we find you again, that you
would enter. This also is a time when we would call you, John. You must know of
this lifetime thyself.
Therefore, we find you again, back, very
near here, in birth again. This time we would find you in the year nineteen-hundred
and eighteen [1918] A. C. This time thy are
a priest. This time thy are working and building a
temple again to God. But, in your building of this temple, you shed the blood
and the tears of other souls; therefore, you fall from the ladder.
And this again, you do not enter
until this plane. On this plane you are born with psychic power, as you would
call it. You were brought to one [Note: Ray Elkins].
The rest, thy would know of thyself.
This is all at this time on soul
John.
Now, we spoke before of the ones who
doubt -- and this we said, “ones”-- more than one. We would say to these, if
God would reach out and touch thee, would thee still be blind?
And now, we would speak again of
soul E____.
Yes.
We have the spirit, the body, and the soul of E____;
this is good, all is in accord here.
Thy ask
first, in what part may you play in the groups that we have asked? We would say
this, speak of what you have seen, and what you have
heard and what you have felt here. For when you leave you shall have a better
knowledge. You shall have God within thee to walk with thee for all thy days.
And if thy would choose to walk in His path, thy shall
never be alone. Thy shall always be happy, for thy
shall know that God may be with you in thy daily life on this plane.
We would say,
your other question in this way. If thy would wait one
moment, and we would ask permission.
Yes, permission has been given. Therefore, we
should answer your question. The one thy loved would say this. Birth has
happened again; therefore, this soul thy asked about has entered again on
another plane. At this time he is very happy.
But we would say this to you, thy
shall meet him again, but not as a he, but as a she. And this child,
when thy meet the person, thy will love it. Can thy understand
this, soul E____?
Nay.
"She answered, yes, Aka.”
She does not fully understand, [in]
what we have said.
Then we would answer you in this way. It would
be suggested that if thy would listen to the tapes
that the group already has, thy will understand [in] what we have said.
Now, thy ask,
[in] what you are taking too much of? We have suggested that by the use of
meditation it would allow you to reduce the number of sleeping pills that thy are now taking. This is necessary.
Now we would make this suggestion also, that thy
return back to thy art. Try using thy hands again. Use them for the creation of
writing. The ability is there. If thy would write of
this work, your mind would be too busy to think of the small quibblings of man. Can thy understand this?
Nay. Then
we should place in soul Ray’s mind a message for you.
Now, as time grows short, we would answer
soul T____’s question. Why, on this plane, since she
had climbed so high upon other planes, what happened? We would say this; look
backward from [which] you came. Be more generous with your fellow man; be
considerate. Stop along the road in which thy are traveling to smell the
flowers, but in smelling them, ask someone else that they may smell, that they
may taste the wine that thy drink -- if thy should do this -- and with the
study of the other recordings that are here of our readings and our work.
You have had the thought, “Why
should we, would we choose disciples?” We choose them that they may choose
souls like yourself to be disciples, and disciples again. It is not because each
of them are so important. It is because, in their
minds, from which they came, they have done this work before. Therefore, when
we ask them to do it again, and they find this in their soul, they may help to give
it to others.
If thy would
help but one soul to grasp this. This thy must
understand -- we are here for God’s work. In doing God's work we are here to
prepare a way. This way is a war [of the, over] minds, for the Messiah, for
when he is made known, may reign for a thousand years. And we speak of a
thousand years, not as you would count them, but as God would count them.
Now, at this time, we would suggest
for soul Ray’s good, that your medical readings be given at a different time.
Now, as I have said before, we are growing -- we are growing weak; therefore,
it would be suggested thy should ask thy other
questions.
"We have one that I feel is
very important at this time, Aka. A few weeks ago, you
made a prediction that on July 22nd there would be an attempted assassination
of our President. Has this been taken care of or will it take place?”
This has been taken care of. The
President has altered his plans to comply with our message. Therefore, the
assassination shall fail. The one that they shall attempt to assassinate shall
not be the President. They shall be apprehended and dealt with by your laws.
This
you must understand [of] these people. As we have said before, in some
man-beasts there is not the soul, the spirit and the man. Then again, there are
those who live upon your plane as lost souls. And then again, there are those
who exist, you might say, as lost souls never to enter, and wander aimlessly,
until they shall be cast in the pit with Lucifer.
Now, during this time, as we say,
that the Messiah shall reign, all those without the body, the soul and the
spirit will not enter at this time. Their entries shall be not again until God
has completed this part of God’s plan.
Can thy understand this?
"Yes,
Aka.”
Now, ask thy other question.
"This information we realize
possibly cannot be given, but D____ has asked for information of his Father.”
This would be suggested, that on the
next reading, this information can be given because the soul himself has
requested it. Therefore, we would give this information. But do -- as we have
said before, our time is growing short here tonight. It would be better that it
be given at a different reading.
"All
right.”
Now, we would say this -- from the
one who asks from the valley below the sea [Note: Yuma, Arizona]. How may she
improve what she is doing at this time? We would say this to her, let her come
here, if she cares to make the
journey. Then we would speak to her. Can you understand of whom we speak?
"Yes, Aka, I understand.”
Therefore, it is time to waken
soul Ray from his slumber.
