            Aka is here.

            “Good evening, Aka. Where is soul Ray?”

            Soul Ray stands with God.

            Yes, we see thy need, and we should answer in this manner. Glory be the name of the Lord.

            For we shall tell unto thee the parable of the three young priests from the three different religions, that stood beneath the mountain, and wagered which would reach the mountain top first. And as they did begin the race to the top of the mountain, each strained and did his hardest and his best.

Yet one reached the mountain top shoulders lengths before the other two. And he said unto them, “Then my religion shall be the strongest before the God of One.”

            And the other two looked unto each other and thought unto themselves, “How can this be? Yet we have wagered and we have lost. And yet, have we lost all?”

            And then before them appeared the Seven Spirits of the Lord.

And they looked upon the Seven Spirits and said, “How can this be?”

            And the Seven Spirits spoke back as one, “For our Father has many mansions; each is no greater than another, much as your choice of religions, your way to worship your Lord. It cannot be determined by a strength of the arm or the leg, nor the swiftness of the eye. It must come from within.”

            [Then] the three priests, young priests, said unto the Seven Spirits, “But which of our religions is a true religion?”

            And the Seven Spirits said unto them, “All three are true. If you are true unto yourself and unto your heart, and unto your soul, and unto the spirit, then truth from within shall come from without, and all shall see. But never take another man from his religion. This is his choice, the free choice given unto him by our Lord, God, in the beginning. The Lord, God, did not place into man’s heart the way to worship Him. And He did not ask for worship, only for love.”

            Then the youngest of the priests said, “Then why do we pray out loud?”

            And the Seven Spirits spoke back unto him, and said, “For when you pray within, you are showing your praise unto the Lord unto yourself. But when you pray out loud you are showing your praise, unshamed, unto the Lord and His children, for nothing should be hidden from Lord’s children.” And they said, “Look and behold.”    

And before them there stood the one known as the Buddha; another stood next to him as Mohammad, yet another and another. And yet, between them all stood the one known as Jesus of Nazara.

And Jesus of Nazara spoke back, and he said, “These are my brothers and these are my sisters; for I was the firstborn, and yet I came unto you to say these words, for nothing shall be hidden, for a wise father should hide nothing from his children. Did I not say unto you, ‘Destroy this temple and I shall rebuild it in three days?’ Then behold and look around and about you, and you shall see the temple of God. And look from within you and you shall see the temple of God.”

            And so was the resurrection brought forth in truth unto all three of the priests.

And the three priests stoop upon the mountain, and all vanished before their eyes and they felt humble.

And the first priest who had reached the top said, “We shall go from the mountain into the valley and tell the people of the wonderful things we have seen. But we shall go forth as one, each into all of our religions, that not one, but all may share, and that way in truth we shall be the servants of God, for we shall feed His children.”

            You have other questions to ask.

            “Yes, Aka. I have a request for a life reading from [24-5-75-001…Tucson]. She also asks, ‘Should I remain in Tucson or where? In Massachusetts?’ And she would like to know if she should do any healing?’”

            First, we shall answer the last. Thy have never stopped healing. For that that the Lord placed within you shall continue.

            Second, we shall say unto you, in the land thy dwell, the land itself should seek the greatest healing of all. So remain in this land, both for your health and for the spiritual gift that you can give mankind around you.

            And now you say unto us, “Show us, show unto me where I have been that I may know where I am going.”

We shall show you, for we have before us the body, the soul, the spirit, and the immortal body.

We find this one in the Year of the Dragon in the Continent of [Palayus, Peleaus], the sixth continent of Atlantis. And even as now as you shortly go forth upon your airplane journey, so we find you once then readying yourself for a great journey, for you would go unto the first continent of Atlantis, there to go into the priesthood. You have studied hard at the university. You had studied hard and been chosen from birth, yet the final test was yet to come. For there you would go before the great priests, Arcan and Ra-Tai.

For in the day of the making of the young priest the great priest, Ra-Tai, did come forth from the land of Egyptan. And all the priests of Ur did come forth. And as your craft did wing forth into the heavens, you thought of yourself as a bird of prey, and thought as you looked at the earth, if you could only fly without the aid of the craft. And then before you, you saw the huge eagle. At first you were astounded. Yet it did go forth before the craft as though to guide it. And you turned to the others that were upon the craft, yet none did see it but you.

            As the day wore forth after your landing, and then into the next, and into the third day, your day came forth when you would appear into the great temple. And you thought what a marvelous thing this [should] be.

            And as you saw the priests of Ur as you walked forth, and each held in their right hand the seven-candle candelabra. And in their left hand they held Promised One, the Tree of Life. And you thought unto yourself, “Oh, could I only be -- this one, this one that is promised to come, this one who shall come after the others who are promised upon the Earth, this one who we have all learned so much about, yet know not what he looks like.”

            And then suddenly, as you walked forth, the sky did open into the temple, and there the shadow of a great eagle did cast upon all. And beneath the statue stood the two great priests.

You started to bow, yet the fascination of the shadow that cast – and Ra-Tai spoke unto you and said, “Why do you tremble? There is nothing here to fear. Speak what is in your heart and in your mind.”

            And as he spoke, the seven-candle candelabra appeared upon the table. Yet the candles were not lit. And then, he said unto you, “You shall take the vows, and they shall be for all planes, of all time. Yet you shall forget, and forget again, of the vows you shall take.”

            And he did take from his neck the symbol of the ankh. And it was silver, and in the center was a great ruby, and he said, “Look deep, deep into the ruby, for the ruby shall show you the way and the path. And after you have seen the path to the future, then we shall commence the ceremony.”

            And as you looked through the doorway of the ruby, you saw your lifetimes spread before you, one by one, as workman, fisherman, carpenter, healer, soldier. And you trembled with thought and fear, “I have gone downward; I am falling from life to life. If I should take these vows shall I fall? If I should not take these vows, then I should not become the priest that I wish to become.”

            And suddenly, the shadow of the eagle was no more. And the future shone not in the ruby, no more.

            And Ra-Tai said unto you, as he handed you the torch of life, “Now is the time of choice. But when you have taken all your vows, we can only say unto you that a time will come when you see the eagle fly again, and it shall be the final preparation for the coming of the Tree of Life, the Promised One.”

            You picked up and began to light the candelabras, but when you reached the sixth candle and lit it you hesitated once again. And while you hesitated the wind did come forth and blew out all the candles.

And Ra-Tai took from your hand the one yet lit and said, “Then go forth and find your way, for the priesthood is not for you.”

            So you did board at a great craft again to return back unto your homeland. You did become merchant and farmer, and then, in later life went into the manufacturing business and became quite wealthy. But still, throughout that life all of the lives you had seen, and the shadow, stood before you.

You went from life to life. Each time you walked close to the last candle, yet never to light it.   

It lays at your hands once again in this life, in this time. You have clutched unto your worldly things with one hand and reached for your spiritual growth with the other. The possessing and earning of material growth, there is nothing wrong with this. But give unto God that [that] belongs to God. Give unto your brothern that that belongs to your brothern. But give unto yourself that that belongs unto you.

            You have clutched your worldly goods tightly to your bounds, that you should leave an inheritance unto your children. And you have feared death, knowing you have not lit the last candelabra.

            The eagle flies once again and casts his shadow above you. Look within that quiet place within your mind and there shall find the God-self within, where a quiet pool should dwell and there you shall find the internal lit candle of God. Light yours and set it beside it.

            Prepare your garden, for we shall leave you with this promise. You have seen the Eagle in flight, he who should come forth to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah. You shall be born again and see the Messiah walk upon the Earth, and you shall see the thousand years of peace upon the Earth, and you shall see a new Heaven and a new Earth. So therefore, prepare thee a way within thyself.

            Now soul Ray grows weary.

Yet we should say unto you, your Annual Meeting is soon at hand. And shepherds shall become Shepherds and ministers shall become Ministers, and teachers shall become Teachers. And the seven-candle candelabra shall be lit once again in unisance. But remember, as you should all say the vows, say them from your heart.

            First, you were as the river and as the brook that flowed into the river. Soon your numbers shall come like the pebbles of the ocean. Prepare your household to feed the multitudes. What God has given do not hide away, and prepare to bring forth The Psychic Gift before the Dawn.

            Awaken soul Ray from his slumber.
