Globe, Arizona

Aka is here.

“Good evening, Aka; where is soul Ray?”

Soul Ray stands with God.

Yes, we see thy need. And we shall answer in this manner − glory be the name of the Lord, thy God; glory be the name of His children, forever and ever.

And we say unto you this parable.

For once upon the lands, men began to build a mighty temple − their thoughts, in the beginning, that they would build a place of worship, a place that they might come and meet together, and this place would be their altar and would be the place where they would give themselves to God.

Now many things did come to pass, for as they had built the temple, the land began to prosper, and multitudes of good things dropped upon their place in the earth. And their children’s children did prosper.

But as time passed, the children began to expect all things to be given to them. And as the ground and the land ceased to yield, ceased to give, they cried out unto the Lord, thy God, and said, “We shall not worship You in the temple any longer. We shall worship Lucifer in the temple.” And therefore, they did go unto the temple, and they did defile the temple, and alter the temple to where it was no longer a place where people came to praise the Lord. There were the old ones who were cast aside and told to go elsewhere when they objected. There were some of the young ones, who when they objected, were raped and beaten. And the land was raped.

Yet as each day passed, the earth began to rumble deep within. And earthquakes came upon the earth, and volcanoes came upon the earth, and the earth did gusher up and come forth. And the temple did come down.

Now the people left the valley; they spread into many places. And gradually, their descendants returned to the valley, for time had passed. Years had passed. Many years had passed, and the valley grew lush and full, and bountiful once again. And when they came unto the valley they began by digging a well, that water may be closer at hand.

In the process of digging the well, they found the relics of the stones that were laid for the temple and the altars. And an argument became between the people of the land. Some who dug said that those only who worshiped of Lucifer lived in the land, and others argued that those who lived in the land were the ones of the worship of the God of One. And soon the land was split apart once again by the two facets. And they built a great wall between themselves. And they dammed the water until they could dam no higher leste they run out of land on their side of the valley, and the water came over and served both sides.

And they began to call each other names of many types. And one day there came upon the dam which divided the valley a Stranger. He carried a staff, and with his staff he began to tear down the dam. He did so in a manner that the water harmed no one.

From both sides they were very angry. “How dare you interfere in this! How dare you stop our war!”

The Stranger said nothing.

The two leaders approached him, yet they were afraid of him, and said, “How dare you do of these things! How dare you cast down and stop us from these things we believe.”

The Stranger said unto them, “I have come not to change your beliefs, but to show you the full fulfillment of them. For look and behold, and you shall see the land of before.”

And they looked, and they saw the land as it was in the beginning, and as the first people began to settle in the valley, and as they began to build the temple, and as the generations changed and turned.

And they said, “Who are these people?”

And the Stranger said, “The people are you. You did not learn your lesson then, and you are not learning it now. I say no more. Your dam is down; the division between you no longer stands, only in your hearts. The land will give you plenty if you allow it, if you build no more dams. But if you build one more dam, the dam will give way and destroy the whole valley.”

He walked out.

There were religious leaders from both sides who brought forth their Bibles and said, “Behold, he is a false prophet. Behold, he is of evil.”

And so all the people went back to build the dam. They built the dam higher and higher, for all was building now, higher and higher and higher, until there was no room on the side of the dam where the water lay. [So the] people came over onto the other side, and still they built the dam higher, for now they were afraid; they were afraid of what the water would do to them.

People began to leave the valley. And soon, the dam gave way, and once again the valley was laid waste.

They went out into the world around them. And some of them had learned their lesson, but most had not. They said the Stranger had caused it.

Years passed once again, many years. And therefore, they did come back into the land, their descendants came back into the land to populate it. This time the land was much flatter. It was very bountiful. And so they began to grow an abundance of many things. And each farmer in turn made a little diversion dam to water his crops.

And one day they suggested that they build a temple. And so once again a temple rose upon the ashes of the others. For this temple was bigger and finer than all of the other temples that had stood there before it. And each person in the valley was very proud of the temple, for each one had brought a stone, and carved one from the earth that it might be built, that their stone might be placed in the temple.

They talked of many things. They made laws to live by. But mostly, they made laws to think by. They drew up a council, a ruling council. And the day that they drew up the council the Stranger appeared unto them.

They looked upon him and they said, “You look familiar, sir. Come in, come into our temple, and hear our words.”

And he listened to them, each, of the knowledge that had passed down. The knowledge that had become down, some was good, some was bad. But most of the knowledge that had really stayed was good, for time, and time in itself, had altered the souls of men.

He looked upon them and he said, “You are building no bridge nor dam to divide you, but bridges that lead you into the hearts of one another. Your philosophy is good enough if it suits you.”

He went on. No one cast stones upon him, nor bad thoughts upon him.

He went on to other valleys and other lands.

Now we say unto you, the meaning of the parable is quite simple, “Thy shall place no other gods before the Lord, thy God.”

You have questions, ask.

“Thank you,Aka. [16-489-1] asks, ‘We need to find a fertile retirement-house site. We desire the location to be secure, to bring us peace and happiness. We wish to remain in close proximity with the A.U.P. We deeply appreciate your guidance in this manner.’”

We would say unto you, look into the Young Valley, for it is not only to prosper, but it would be suiting to the climate which you desire. But since your husband desires a business upon retirement, I would say, the Globe area will alter greatly its form from what it has been and shall offer many opportunities, should you wish to look at them.
