Aka is here.
“Good evening, Aka. Where is soul Ray?”
Yes we see thy
need. And we shall answer in this manner and in this way. Glory be the name of
the Lord, thy God; glory be the name of Your children forever and ever.
And
we say unto you this parable, and in this way. For far away, in a distant land,
there were rumors and half-rumors that came forth from this land. It was said
by many that it was a land of plenty, that all you had to do was to live there,
to become one of the people, and all things would come unto you -- riches --
that if you had a flock, and it, each of it, would bear three young, it would
multiply in such boundaries [bounties],
in such fulfillment. All these things
were said of this place. And everyone talked about going there.
There
was a young lad, and he met a young woman, and he did marry unto her with the
promise that they would leave the land in which they dwelled and go into the
promised land.
And so they left the land in which they
dwelled, and they endured many hardships. And [he] did not take days, but unto
the seventh year they did arrive.
And on the seventh year, of the seventh
day, they arrived upon the holy land.
There
they made camp. And since they had used most of their provisions, they made
ready to observe the Sabbath. And they made a small altar of stone. And they
had baked their breads and what food they had.
And before the Sabbath came visitors
came, and they made camp beside them, and they had no food. So the young couple
bid them enter, and they shared their Sabbath food with them.
And
they said unto the visitors, “We have come to the land of plenty that we may
share and become one of the people. Who do we see; who do we go to?”
And the
visitors said unto them, “We are coming from the land of plenty, and we have
nothing, for we have found nothing.”
The
young couple, at first, were very disappointed, but they went on. And the young
couples had broughten seeds with them. And they had broughten young trees, of fruit.
And they had broughten fig trees, and date trees, and trees of many kinds. And
they had some small amount of money. But many of the people which lived in this
land had not known or seen such wondrous trees. And they came unto then to
barter with them.
And
the first came and he said, “I have land. I will trade you for so many trees.”
And
another came and he said, “I have sheep, and I shall trade you for so many
trees.”
Another
came and said, “I have cattle.”
And
so it was; they did barter.
Now upon the seventh year they
prospered, mighty. And they decided, since they had done so well, that they
would take a part that they had made and take it back [to] where they had come,
so that their parents may share [that] with them.
But
the day they got ready to leave, the priest of the land came forth and said, “Where
are you going with all these goods?”
And they said, “We shall take these goods
to our parents, that we may show them our respect.”
And the
priest said, “If you have extra give unto the church.”
And the young man looked at him and
said, “We have given unto the church. We have given one-tenth of all things we
have brought forth. Now, we shall fulfill another of the commandments; we shall
honor our mother[s] and fathers.”
And the young couple, in the seventh
years, had had three children. And his wife was heavy with child, and as they
journeyed, once again they stopped at the edge of the land and made camp on the
Sabbath day. And his wife did come forth with another child.
And
people came forth and said, “We are on our way to the promised land. Is it true
that all things come of milk and honey; is the land so plentiful?”
The young man, no longer as young, and
much wiser said, “You shall receive from it what you put in to it.”
They went forth to visit their mother
and father. They took all those things of cloth, of fine dishware, and many things, and great amounts of food.
And they did give unto the parents of cattle and sheep.
And the parents gave unto them many trees.
And
they left, and they went back into the valley into the land of the plenty, the
land of blessed, the holy land.
And once again, many people came forth
to barter for their trees. But this time, instead of selling their trees, they
planted them. And in the seventh year, the trees had began to multiply, and
they began to sell the trees, that part of their crop.
Now at this time there was known to be
the time of the Christmas, and the tree to be honoring it was a greatly prized,
in this land.
And none knew how well they would
flourish in this land. But they did flourish, for they had been brought from
the highlands.
And so they brought forth and sold
these.
But the priest came unto them again,
and said, “Give unto me one of these trees, for it shall be given unto the church.”
The couple gladly gave unto him one of
the trees, one of the biggest, finest trees that they had.
And on Christmas Eve they went forth,
but there was no tree at the church.
They found the tree had gone to one of
the larger landowners. And so the young man was quite angry. And he went to the
priest and he said unto him, “How dare you take our tree and sell it, the tree
we have given to the church!”
The priest hung his head and said unto
them, “You have been fortunate in this land they call “of the plenty,” but
there are many of the non-fortunates. Yes, I have sold the tree. But seven
years ago you taught me a lesson, to honor your father and your mother. I found
that there were many mothers and fathers that were not being honored, and
therefore, I sold the tree, and have taken the money and spent it so, to
provide for them.”
The young man and woman could find no
fault in this. And so, they said, “Priest, come back with us.” And so they gave
him another fine tree.
But as he was beginning to leave they
gave him a second. And they said to him, “Go take one and honor other mothers
and fathers, but take one so that the children of the land may celebrate their
Christmas with their tree.”
Now the parable we have said unto you
seems to have little meaning. Yet we say unto you, the depth of the meaning of
the parable shall come from the depth of thy soul. If you should take the last
reading, the last parable, and bring it forth into this parable, you shall see
the true meaning of this parable.
[Note:
See the July 20, 1984, parable.]
You have questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [10-390-1…Tucson,
Arizona] asks for a life reading.”
Yes, we see thy need. And we have before us
the body, the soul, and the spirit and the immortal body.
And we say unto you, we find this soul
in the second year of Atlantis. We find this soul entering into the body of a
female. Her father had been an artist, and she herself was very artistic, yet
in some ways it was not fit for a lady of her statures to be an artist.
She heard of the great schools of
learning in the lands of the Egyptan. And she had also heard of a great school
of learning in the land of the Britain.
And so she went unto the different
priests to talk of this. At first they discouraged her. But finally they said, “Go,
but go unto Egyptan, for this land of the Britains had evil people. They are the
land of the Druids. They practice not the worship of the God as we do, but of
the old god.”
Then one day, a visit had been come
forth by the great priest, Ra-tai.
And the great priest, Ra-tai, said unto
them, “Go unto this land. Learn from the people; learn of the religion. Become
part of it.
And
so, it came to pass.
And when she came back she was brought
to the land of the Egyptan. And from there she went into the land of the Eagle,
and there she told unto this one all she had seen and heard. And he gave her
many plants and many messages to take back with her.
She became a scholar beyond all
scholars, and was highly respected. She did not marry. Yet she held a high
position.
Now we find this one not again until
we see -- yes -- we find this one in what you would know as the land of China. And
in this life we find, as a male body, once again we find a greatly talented
person -- highly intelligent -- and greatly enhanced in the electrical field of
the time at many electrical devices used at this time. This one would invent
what you would know as the phonograph, and went on to make many other
inventions.
We find this one not again until the
land of Black Mesa, in the land that the one known as Jesus of Nazara, who had
come unto the people to tell them that he would go and come again.
Your lust for knowledge has been such
that you have waited, and waited the return of the Eagle. For with the return
of the Eagle would be again the time of the preparation of the coming of the
Messiah.
We say unto you, to dedicate yourself
to a purpose is to dedicate yourself in such a manner that your tithings are
[in a] peace, of honor. But do not give unto the Lord anything that you regret
giving. Give only unto the Lord that that you can give with a glad heart. And
in truth, you will have given.
We have given you enough to know where
you have been, so that you will know where you are going.
That is all on this subject at this
time.
Now we say unto you, awaken soul Ray
from his slumber.
