Soul Ray stands with
God.
Now, as we have said
before, man can destroy nothing. We know of the many spirits of man; we know of
the many souls of man; and we know of thy questions.
And you ask, “How could
there be the spirits of God, as though the pebbles of a brook?” And we would
say to you –
Now, that is better, all
is in accord.
And we would say to you,
it would be better, far better, that man should cast himself into a pit of fire
with Lucifer than it would be for man to take one other person from God. That
is why we have told you before, “Our
Father has many mansions.” Each man, in his own way, should believe in God. God
has not set rules for worshiping Him. Nay; man should set these rules for
himself.
“Then,” you say, “how
can there be so many forms of worship?” And as we have said before, if a man should
lose his hand and pray to God for guidance so that he may use one hand as two,
God would send to him those who have lost their hands. And by doing this, each
man, in himself, would know of God in his own way. That is why we have spoke to
you before of all the religions, as thy would call them, and all the worship of
God.
We have told you before,
do not repeat what others have told you when you talk to God. Talk of Him as to
yourself; therefore, God would understand you. For if you repeat what others
have said before, and not mean them, they would mean nothing to God, for they
mean nothing to you. Can you understand this?
“Yes, Aka.”
Nay, not fully. But the
day should come that thy will.
Now, thy would ask again
of us, “Who comes to you, and from where we came?” For we were sent for one who
asked God. And he who sent and asks did say, “Father, send Thy these who would
teach. And send Thy these who would know of my Father.” [See John 13:14-17, 20; 14:1-5, 15-21, 27-29;
John 16:16-19,22-24, The Revelation of John 5:1-7.]
There were those before
him who did the same.
[Editor's note: Early prophets and teachers taught
man to know God through oral tradition long before some teachings were written
in books such as the Torah, of Moses (300 B.C.) or Nevi'im, the
prophets; the Upanishads (700 B.C.?), and the Bhagavad Gita (500
B.C.?). There have been many prophets through all time who have taught man a
way of knowing God.]
We have told you before,
you would pass the beggar on the street and that beggar would be above you, for
he would be the next to enter the kingdom of God and stand beside Him. And God
might ask of this beggar for advice. Does this seem strange to thee? [Editor’s note: In Buddhism,
the Boddhisatva way teaches that the path of enlightenment is, when one attains
enlightenment one returns to help all other sentient beings to reach
enlightenment also. In truth, none can rise until all have risen.]
Yes, we see this. We also
see -- one moment, please.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes,
Father.
Then, we would say in a
different way, one more liking to our Father’s words. We have made ourselves
known to you as our Father has suggested. For we call, as thy would call it,
ourselves, Aka. [Note: It sounds something like “A-ka,“ Atka” or “Odka.”] Think thee of the first
of the name, Aka, and thy will think of thy Almighty. Think of the second of
the name, and thy will think of the word, karmic. Think of the last of the name
and thy will think of the records, the records which are kept from the
beginning, of all planes, of all knowledge, which man [was] born and born
again. This knowledge, as our Father gives us permission, we should give of
thee.
We give this knowledge
so that man, all of man, would know the love of our Father. And by knowing of
the love our Father has to give, of the tears our Father sheds, that all man,
of all religions, should come to our Father together in peace and love.
For we have said before,
when thy pray, pray for guidance. This, in itself, is the ending of a karma.
Pray for acceptance of
thy brothers and thy sisters. If your brother should offend thee, then go to
this brother and talk to him privately. But then, if thy brother should still
offend thee, take three of thy group and talk again.
Can thy understand of
what we tell thee?
“I think so.”
Then, it does not matter
how you spell of this. But if all of
you here could agree upon this one simple thing, then you have taken one step
closer to our Father.
Now, we would say to one
of thee, God is with thee. God loves thee. God has known of you many times
before. Stay in the light of God, and permit God to walk with thee, for God
loves thee, my son.
Now, we should say of
one in the valley below the sea, who asks, how may she improve her business? [Note: in Yuma, Arizona.] This
we would say to her, for the things we shall suggest shall improve the
material things for her, but by improving the material things for her, it will
also improve [the] material things for God’s children. We would suggest to this
soul, work with the development of the vitamins that may be preserved in
canisters for many years. There are many who would be in need of these. Can thy
understand of which we speak?
“Yes, Aka.”
Now, we see soul
Bartholomew. We would say, do not despair. God is with thee. Do as thy have
thought to do; this is right.
We would say to the wife
of soul Bartholomew, walk tall; God loves thee and blesses thy thoughts.
And now, as we have said
before, there is those among you who would cast stones at each other. This,
this is not part of God’s work. Cast
a stone if thy have not sinned not. But if thy should cast a stone, then let us
stand before thee and cast thy first stone at us.
Can thy understand of
which we speak?
Nay. Thy shall.
Thy have other
questions, ask them.
“We have some of what we
think is sage. Is this what you were referring to?”
We have seen thy problem
in this area. This is a very poor grade; therefore, we see the necessity --
this thy [may] understand -- from what grows from the root shall grow to the
leaves, the stems and the flowers of such. The root is the source; therefore,
in thy root is the larger quantities of what is needed. And with thy problem,
we would say two ways. First, to start now, buy thee of the commercial sage
leaf. Then, for the second part of this, purchase the script of the desert
plants. The natural substances for the healing of thy bodies are in these
plants. And now, we would say, before it should be too late, go into the desert
and gather the fruit of the cactus, all that thy may find. Then ask again, and
we shall tell you of their uses.
Can thy understand this?
“Yes, Aka. The one we
are to purchase, is that the sage, what is called sage tea, or is it the sage
seasoning that we buy?”
Nay, the sage tea.
“Would it be to our
advantage to plant the seeds of the sage that we have?”
It would be better to
order seed and plant it.
“All right.”
Therefore, you will have
a better quality of what thy seek.
But remember, there are
very many of this plant which grows close to thee. Thy have yet to recognize
it. First, take of the script, that thy may recognize what thy seek.
“All right.
“If a man loses his
spirit can he regain it?”
We would tell you of
this. You have asked many times in thy minds what we mean that “a man should
speak as a child?” Then we should tell you of this. In the time of Christ, or
Jesus, as thy would call him, he was asked a similar question. And he said unto
his disciples, as he laid his hand upon a child’s head, that all shall believe
with the faith of this child, thy will know of the coming of God.
Therefore, each man, as
we have said before, in himself may destroy the spirit, therefore, leaving
only, only of the soul. And in the leaving of the spirit, there is no knowledge
left of God; therefore, it becomes a lost soul.
Now if this knowledge is
placed back in this soul, then the spirit shall re-enter and this man shall
come, become complete. And this, we would say for some time, for there shall be
the time. This is why we urge that this message that we have given thee be
taken to all the living souls of your Earth.
Pray for the lost souls
which are not of your earth, that they may see the light, and by seeing our
Father’s light, they may see their spirits again, and be born again. Pray also
for that of man which has neither spirit or soul, which dwells upon your earth.
And by praying for them, then, of the soul and the spirit’s free choice, entry
may happen again. As you have seen, we talk of new souls and spirits. These
souls and spirits are by God; they are waiting to be born. They can only be
born in truth as three.
Can thy understand from
which we speak?
“Yes.”
Now, soul Ray is growing
very tired, and our time grows short.
Thy have one among thee
who has a question in her mind. If she would but ask, permission has been given
to answer. [Note:
Aka waits for 20 seconds, but she does not speak.]
Then, we should ask her
again in her sleep tonight. And if she would think of God first, and the word
of Aka, we would come to her and give her peace.
Now [is the] time to waken
soul Ray from his slumber.
[Editor's note: This transcript has been
compared to Aka's recorded voice.]
