Aka is here.

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

Soul Ray stands with God.

Yes, we see thy need, and we should say unto thee unto this parable, in this manner, and in this way. For the Seven Spirits came forth unto the Father and said, “Lord, the earth is ready for planting. What shall we plant there?”

And the Lord said unto them, “SINCE YOU HAVE LEARNED THE LESSON OF PLANTING THE FIELDS, LET YOU BE THE ONE WHO DECIDES. BUT MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE OF OUR KIND.”

And so, the fruits trees began to unfold upon the earth, and pine trees, and maple trees, and all the different types of trees. And berry bushes, and all types of bushes. And grasses, an abundance of all kinds. And soon the land began to become full. And even unto the deserts, there were special plants that they placed there, that were both edible and non-edible.

But the Seventh Spirit, who seemed never to do anything right, began to plant in the kingdom of God many different types of flowers.

And one day the Lord God came forth and said, “OH, MY! THESE ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL, AND SUCH A VARIETY! BUT SHOULD YOU KEEP IT UP, SEVENTH ANGEL, ALL OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE FILLED WITH FLOWERS.”

And the Seventh Angel said unto the Lord, “But Father, how should I know which is the best flower to put upon the earth?”

And the Lord said unto him, “I HAVE NOTICED THAT YOU CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE FOR EACH FLOWER. AND SOME GROW BETTER IN COLD, WHERE OTHERS GROW BETTER IN VERY HOT AND HUMID WEATHER, WHERE OTHERS GROW VERY GOOD IN VERY DRY WEATHER. GO, THEREFORE, AND SPRINKLE ALL THESE THINGS YOU HAVE UPON THE EARTH. AND THEN YOU SHALL SEE.”

And so he went forth, and he did sprinkle upon the earth abundance of all kinds of flowers. And the other six angels came forth and said, “Father, do you know what the Seventh Angel has done this time? He has planted flowers among our trees. He has planted flowers among our bushes. He has planted a plant called, a rose that has no thorns. It is beautiful to behold, but you can’t eat it, Father.”

And the Lord looked upon the Seventh Angel where he stood, with a great smile upon his face, and great pride within himself, and he said, “But behold, Father, for they have beauty in the smallest of things.”

And the Lord, God, looked unto the Seven Spirits and said, “YES, BEHOLD, FOR IS THERE NOT BEAUTY UNTO THE SMALLEST OF THINGS.”

We say unto you, is there not beauty into the smallest of things? In the things in which you see no beauty at all, is there not enlightenment? Is there not time for planting your flowers? Is there not time you should take to see the flowers at your feet, and to know that they are one of the more important things in life, for they bring laughter to our hearts, and the smell brings gladness to our noses, and the sight brings twinkling to the eyes.

We say unto you, they come and they go, year after year. And the Lord said, “LET THIS BE A REMINDER TO MAN, THAT HE SHOULD RETURN AGAIN. LET IT BE A COVENANT BETWEEN ME AND THEE,” and so it has been.

We say unto you, look around you. Look unto the person who sits next to you, and see the g1adness in their hearts and in their soul[s], and the cup shall runneth over and go unto the many lands.

Yes, the time shall come when many things shall come about that shall alter and change the land. And flowers shall flourish and bloom again, as man shall bloom again. For not the smallest thing shall be taken from the earth, lest my Father know. And not the smallest thing shall be taken from the earth, and He give it back tenfold. Glory he the name of the Lord, thy God; glory he the name of His children, forever and ever.

You have questions, ask.

“Yes, Aka. [16-492-3] asks, ‘What month will our house at Cochiti Lake sell?’”

In the month of July it could sell, but you feel not ready, so you shall go into October, and then you shall be ready.

You have other questions, ask.

“Yes, Aka, thank you. [16-492-i] asks, ‘In this lifetime, what am I supposed to be doing for God?’”

We say unto you, take the first of the reading, and know that what is there is true. And we say unto you, for God, prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah. If this is to be done, let the Eagle soar. Prepare, therefore, places that those who should hear him talk shall do so.

You have other questions.

........................... “Yes, Aka, thank you. [15-461-1] says, ‘Dear Aka, I was born November 23, 1941, at Brooklyn, New York. My birth certificate indicates the time of birth as shortly after 3:00 a.m. on August 13th, 1982. You clarified that my time of birth was 9:22 a.m. please explain the difference in the times, if November 23, 1941, is correct, and what time I should use in having an astrological chart done? Love, _______’”

You should use the later, for there are times that mistakes are made in making out such forms. But, most of all, when forms are made out, exact times are sometimes are not followed. Many times a doctor should look upon a clock and say, “Let it be written that this child is born at such-and-such time and such-and-such day,” after he has had the child in his hands, checked it over, and made sure that its entry into the world is complete. This is not necessarily time of arrival. There are many times when he will sit in his office after the birth and make out the birth certificate. Most of the time he never even touches it. Others prepare it for him, and he signs it.

Many, many of the times that are on your birth certificates are incorrect. For that reason, the truth in time should be sought. There are many ways to determine it. You have learned of dowsing, you have learned of pendulums. They are but extensions of the mind, that hidden place within that we have spoken about. But the more often the truth shall lie in asking.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. Aka, [4-125-2] asks, ‘Would you please link my soul to God, help me to rise, to walk on the water with you? Help me prepare the way within myself that I may prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah. In God’s love I ask.’”

We see thy need, and we say unto you, many things have been given to you. And that that you have asked has already been given unto you.

Know this, that to know one’s self is to know but one part of mankind, but it is a part that is a beginning. We say to you, yesterday is only important to know where you are going today.

But the plans that you shall initiate and take forth into the future are by far more important than what happened in the past. So take these things forth in such a manner that a true form of being materializes before your eyes, and that form shall be within yourself. If you do this, you shall find that which you seek.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [13-437-3] asks for a life reading, or ‘Anything that would help me now.’”

Yes, we see thy need, and we have before us the body, the soul, and the spirit of the same.

And will we say to you, unto these words, you have been born at a time that brought you forth step by step, through hardships and joy, through good times and bad. You are all parts of all things you have ever been. This is why, rather than take each step before this time and give it to you, we shall give you the here and the now, for that is the most important to you.

We shall say to you that this one, this Ammie Ray Elkins that has been your friend, you have been with before, not in but one lifetime, but in many. And friends you have been. Nothing has ever interfered with this.

But we say unto you, that now, with the knowledge which you have gained through your long life, go with your wife and write. Write of the good times, the funny times, those of laughter that bring laughter to the hearts of men, that happened in the worst of times -- that our people shall know that even in the worst of times there are the best of times. For there has been laughter in abundance in your life, and this in itself shall be a storing, for you are taking from the storehouse of your mind and releasing it so that it shall be remembered and cherished.

We say unto you, beloved, you are most beloved in the eyes of God. Your name and the one that soul Ray carries in his first name, were once the same. Know this. For it is the deep feeling that he conveys unto us that we have conveyed unto you.

You have other questions, ask.

“Yes, Aka, thank you. [16-492-2] asks, ‘When will our house in Albuquerque sell, and what type of employment shall I seek, if any?’”

Yes, we see thy need, and we shall say unto you, that in the month of February your house shall sell. You shall have other chances before then, three to be precise. If you choose to take these, do so, but the better price shall come at the time above.

What shall you do with your life? Live it!

You have other questions.

“Aka, at this time I have no other questions.”

Yes, we shall answer the questions uppermost in your minds. And you say unto us, how can you speak of flowers when men are being held captive and war knocks at our door? And I say unto you, unto the worst battlefields flowers have grown. They have come forth to replace the scars. At Dachau and Dolitidare you shall find flowers. They come forth to cover the wounds. It is like the music in your air. It is born sometimes from many forms of healing. Sometimes it is born of the soul, sometimes from the hurt and depth of the soul, sometimes from the height and the laughter of the soul, yet always it is the universal music from the galaxies that rings in your ears, that dances and performs before the greatest of all mankind, for it is for all mankind. And it is the music of the gods, of the flowers, of music.

We say unto you, yes, those times we have told you about shall come forth, but do not cease to plan for tomorrow. Prepare, store, but do not make that all of your life, but part of your life.

If you may send food to Ethiopia, also prepare and send food here at home, and start. Feed the nations, for this is a test for you. It is a test that one third of the earth, as has been written, would be struck by the Lord and nothing should grow upon it. And one third of the earth should perish from starvation. It is your test, the test to see if the rest of the three-thirds are worth saving -- if mankind can overcome his bigotry.

It is like Jonah calling in the wind. Let it be heard. If you give, give with your heart. Give that which you have. Put into storage that which you have here. Give what you can unto the third of the world which now dies of starvation. Let it go as a gift of love, and know that what you have done is a gift of love.

We say unto you, yes, the time of storing shall be in many forms.

But remember, knowledge shall come into soul Ray’s mind that shall seem to come from nowhere. Listen to his thoughts. Bring them together, and they will give you the substance to do the things you need.

For the land at hand is not enough, and time shall come and time shall go, but the greatest time shall be the laughter you have in your heart, and the tears you shed for your love. There is the love that comes from brother to sister, the love that comes from father to daughter and mother to son, but there is love that comes from one part of mankind to another that does not ask the color or race or religion of a man or woman or child, but only knows that it cannot see them suffer, that no man may suffer. Know it in truth.

What is your test? Do you not see it? Can you not understand it?

Now soul Ray grows very weak. Awaken soul Ray from his slumber.
