Aka is here.
“Good evening, Aka; where is
soul Ray?”
Soul Ray stands with God.
Yes, we see thy need[s]. And we shall answer you in
this manner, and in this way. Glory be the name of the
Lord, thy God. Glory be the name of His children
forever and ever.
We say unto you, for we shall tell you this parable in
this manner and in this way.
In the ocean there are many creatures. And the Lord
placed them there for man to harvest and to place [upon] and be the caretaker
of. Yet, from time to time, this man has done; he has driven those things the
Lord has given into nothingness. And so it has been with some of the great
creatures of the sea.
But there came upon the Earth a fisherman. And the
fisherman went out into the ocean and cast his lot upon the sea. And each day
he did of this and he brought forth a good harvest.
But it came to pass that many fishermen came to the
same place. And the fishermen said, “There are more fishermen than there are
fish. If we continue without regard to allowing the fish to replenish itself,
soon we shall destroy that harvest that we have.”
But those who do not know the sea and did not know
that it needed the time to replenish and restore said, “Nay, this can never
happen. Take from the sea; it is abundant. It could never, ever be destroyed,
for it is the most massive thing upon the Earth; it is even greater than the
land.”
The fisherman said unto them, “But
look at your land. Once upon your land you had millions of what is known
as the buffalo, and you had millions of other creatures, of all kinds, all
descriptions, that the Lord placed there. And you went forth and you killed
them, until there were none. You wiped from the Earth a gift of God, not
knowing the fullness of that which you have done.”
Now, this fisherman was a wise man, and he knew that
unless someone joined with him and spoke and made those who ruled the lands
know of those things that ruled the seas, [it] all would be lost.
One day, when the fisherman was most worried of this
that would come, he looked upon the land and he saw one lone figure walking.
And the lone, one figure said, “Fisherman, why do you worry? Why do you fret?
Have you not allowed God to enter this? Have you not allowed the Lord to know
what has happened?”
He said, “Well, yes, I prayed; I told the Lord that
that would happen. But the Lord has not answered back unto me. What is it that
I must do?” The fisherman looked very distraught.
And then the stranger said unto him, “All shall be
well. Go and place there forth your lot upon the sea, for we shall always need fishermen such as you.”
The next time that this person came to town to visit
with the fisherman he found naught, for all he found was the memory in his mind
of those things he had learned [from the] sea.
And we say to you, if you have learned some great
piece of knowledge, share it and share it freely.
You have many questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18-555-1], who resides in Globe, Arizona, says, ‘Thank you.’”
“[18-556-1] who is here tonight asks, ‘I think my
grandmother, [18-556-1A], who died a few years ago is still here with me. Can
you tell me what I can do to help her continue her path?’”
We say unto you, as you have reached forth in a loving
manner, so you have allowed her to reach forth. Allow her to stay. Do not
become frightened that she is with you, for now she needs you as a guide. Allow
her to learn as you learn; allow her
to grow as you grow. You have a future time together. We shall tell you of this
at a different time, but for the present, growth on both sides is taking place.
You have other questions, ask.
“[18-556-2] who is also here this evening asks, ‘Aka,
if you are [a] representative of God, creator of all that is, and if your
vision is deeper and clearer than my limited vision, in the name of Jesus
Christ, please help me to understand my true place in the household of God,
literally and specifically, and how can I best cooperate and be in harmony with
the divine plan?’”
Yes, we see thy need. And we say unto you unto these
things. We have before us the body, the soul, the spirit and the immortal body
of the same, and therefore, we have the records of time. And we say unto you,
we have seen unto this. There is a time of all harvests; there is a time when
things must grow, and a time for [them] to be planted. This is this time.
We say to you, within this structure that is open to
you, look deep into it, and it will give you an opportunity to learn and to
teach, and to become one with yourself, that you might become one with others
− and in so doing, you shall become one with God. The forest can seldom
see itself grow. But let it grow.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18-556-3]
who is also here this evening asks, ‘Is there something from a past life that
can help me deal with my problems now, and is there a lesson that I still need
to learn?’”
There are several things in your past that [it could]
allow you to grow from this. But we are going to tell you this, and listen
closely. You have had some very bad information which [has] not allowed you to
deal with those things that have been before you. Some of these things have
been outright lies. We say to you, ask and you shall receive. But ask in the
name of the Lord, and it shall be given, for the Lord has promised that nothing
shall be hidden, nor laid in darkness, for all shall be brought before the
light.
But in your case, you have what is in you to teach, to live, and to love. All of that [abandoned by it]. We say unto you, learn and
become a teacher, but as you become a teacher, know that you shall forever become
the student. Now we say unto you, take this of the student and bring forth unto
the teacher; then you yourself shall know the difference. You shall see it
changing before your eyes.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18-556-4]
who is also here this evening asks, ‘Will I sell my house this year?’”
[Editor’s note: There was a pause,
as Ray opened his eyes, closed them again and Aka
repeated these words.]
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18-556-5]
who is also here this evening asks, ‘Is there something from my past life that
could help me find a direction in my life now?’”
We have shown you something. Soul Ray has brought
before you a truth, and he said [it’s up] to you. Allow that of the past to be
of the past. Take the God of the living, and not of the dead. Cast aside these
things that have offended you and look unto the future and allow life to become
one [and] all. We know that you have your problems. We know that your healing
has been that of question and of pain and of turmoil.
But we say these words unto you. There once was a great
landlord who left his land in the hands of his tenant farmers and he went unto
another land. At first they sent their rent regularly, and then, not at all.
And he sent forth his son unto them to collect the rent. And they killed the
son. And so the great landlord returned back to collect that which belonged to
him, and in doing so, he removed many heads. [See Luke 20:9-16.]
Now we say unto you, as the Lord prepares the Earth
and the Earth prepares itself for the coming of the Messiah, many things shall
change and become known unto man. But unless you reach for something how can it be given?
Put your hand in your heart and let it become one. Believe in the way
of the Lord − for the Lord has never ceased to believe in you. Cast aside
your thoughts that are petty. Give yourself clean and perfect thoughts. It
makes no difference who did what in the past. That
will not get you well. It is the here and now that we are dealing with. Allow
− allow this to come forth into your life.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18-502-3B]
who is also here tonight asks, ‘Should I at this time be focusing my energy on
my work or my personal life?’”
We shall answer your questions in this manner. They
are one in the same. But your spiritual life shall come forth from both. And
know of it, and know of those things that are laid before you. The clock is
running. There shall only be so many of what you call, the Corn Ceremony, and
then they shall be over, not to happen again. The kiva shall be closed. And not
for 3,000 years will the time pass by again.
It has been offered to you. Pick up the cup and drink
from it, for there is something for you, in both spiritual and physical [manner],
in this land.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka.
[18-555-2…Dripping Springs,
We shall answer your question in this manner. It is
said, “Thou shall love the Lord, thy God, with all thy soul and all thy might.
Thou shall place no other gods before Him.” The Lord’s house has been placed
before you − enter it. Allow those things, and allow yourself and your
family to feel the presence of the Lord in your heart. [See Deuteronomy 5:1-21,
10:1-6, 12-16, 11:13-18.]
If you do this, you may overcome and lay aside the
turmoil which you have built, both you and your wife. It has become time. But
be a student. Allow the time to learn and be pure. Yet in being a student you
shall become a teacher. Know
these things.
You’ve asked and you have received into the worst of
times. How should you know the best of times unless you have seen the worst? It
is said that the last shall be first and the first shall be last. Look upon it
in this manner and know that if you put this time behind you, [the] future time
shall be good. It is
also said that a family who prays together stays together. Look and learn from
it.
You have other questions, ask.
“Aka, the only question I have is a general question
as to how we could improve the Corn Ceremony?”
We shall answer your question in this manner. There
should be those who should squabble. There shall be those who should complain.
Ignore this. And allow that to be [who] shall. Know something − for those
who should bring arguments into their lives during this time, in truth, they
will pass through nothing, [nor] they shall accomplish nothing.
Now we now say unto you, soul Ray grows sleepy. And we
say to you, awaken soul Ray from his slumber.
