(The
day before the third Corn Ceremony)
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, and in this way. Glory be the name of the
Lord, thy God. Glory be the name of His children for
ever and ever.
And we shall say unto you this parable, in this manner
and in this way: For upon the land came one man, and he went into the desert
and he took his wife. And they went forth, and they went and they cleared the
land, and they drilled the wells and they diverted the water from the rivers
and they built dams. And because of all this many other people came behind them
to form their homes in the vastness of the desert lands.
But when these two came they had friends and that of
the friendship of the people, and the people accepted them, for they came in
peace and harmony − both with the land and with the people who were there
− and they tried not to change the people, but to accept them for that
which they were. But as others came, soon fences were built and land claimed.
But these two brought their love upon the land and
they bore children − at first, one girl and one boy − and the land
was good to them. And they bore another son and that son did pass beyond, and
woe be it unto the land, for the tears were mighty, to
flow as a river, and the sorrow was great.
But the Lord said unto the woman, “Harken,
for we shall give unto you another son. We shall give more than just a son.”
And so it came to pass that the healers came and did
lay hands upon the woman and she did rise, and she
came upon and did bear unto her husband a son. And all grew in harmony and in
good spirit, and the land yielded year by year a greater abundance and greater
crops.
And then, once after five years there came another
one, and this one looked as though she had come from the heavens of gold. She
was a fair child.
And they were holy blessed.
Now time passed and the two who thought they were so
blessed, they parted their ways. The one went one way, the other the other
− each to a different way, each to a different land. But yet, the desert
beckoned them − called them quietly and gently − the quietness of
the morning upon the desert land, and the sparrows of the desert. And soon they
both returned to the desert land.
And their children grew into adulthood and they went
unto the four winds, yet to return back again unto the desert, for they were
desert-born. They were born from lions and eagles, and they knew that that gift
that God had given them was good and strong. Each day passed, one into another,
and the hand of God rested upon them. And the children grew and prospered, each
to become that which made them prosper financially and materially.
And one day, the older brother and the younger brother
did quarrel. And it brought many tears unto the father because the father loved
his children. And as time passed, he would have his grandchildren. And as more
time passed, he saw his great grandchildren, and then he saw his great great grandchildren. And he knew that he had brought seed
upon the earth and planted it in fertile land.
But yet, when his time came to pass he could not pass
because he saw that his sons had quarreled, and they had not settled their
arguments and had not brought peace unto him − that he could not pass
unto the Maker, the giver of life of all − for he was ready to go unto
the holy mountain and he was to see the light of the Shiny Mountain glowing in
his heart each day.
And he prayed unto the Lord and said, “Dear Lord, that
I may pass, I ask for but one thing and that is the health of my children and
that they love one another according to Thy teachings. Let them not be as Cain
and Abel; let them be as brothers and brother into one land.”
And the Lord look upon this, His servant, and He said,
“You shall not pass unto any doorway until peace and love have been brought
unto this of your house.”
And so the word was given.
And there could be many endings to this story. But we
shall leave it unto your thinking as to how it should end.
For in every household, such a story has its own
beginning. Let [it] not be brother against brother, or mother against daughter,
or father against son. For now is the time of the great Sword, the cutting away
of the land and the cutting away of the people − for where no water
flowed, water shall flow; where grass did not grow grass shall grow, and that
of the desert shall blossom forth and it shall be abundant and green. And
nothing shall be hidden from the people, for they shall see all things −
and these things that we say, so the Lord has given unto His word.
We say unto you, you have come to celebrate and to
pass through unto the new world. When you pass through, remember our story and
leave those things behind that you do not need. When you ask for those things,
do not ask from greed, but from need and they shall be given, for all that is
holy shall be holier − for as sundown of yesterday so began the opening
of the doorway that shall be opened completely tomorrow. And once again you
shall look upon the heavens and a sign shall be given unto you at
Let no one ignore the fullness of all parts of this.
Let them see from the beginning to the end the fulfillment of the promise of
our Lord − that those who should not wear the mark of the beast, and the
beast shall never touch these in any way.
You have many questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18-557-1] who is here tonight asks, ‘In my new
residence will I be able to continue my art work, or will I have to seek
outside employment?’”
Yes, we see your need, and we shall say unto you, you
have the ability to do great things with your art work; you do not have the
market. But in the new residence you seek you shall have, but it makes little
difference where you live, if it is within peace and harmony that you live
there that you may go about your work.
And we say unto you, know these things that we say to
be so and just, for you are greatly talented, and gifted. Allow your art work
to exceed itself upon the canvas and allow it to exceed from beyond unto the
pot and pottery. And let it go, therefore, unto the spiritually designed tile.
You must listen closely to understand that which we
have spoken to you. You shall have other questions. When you have digested the
first, then ask the second.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18-536-1]
asks, ‘Shall we go ahead without our rental lot in Wilcox? Thank you.’”
Yes, we see thy need, and we shall answer your
question in this manner and in this way: glory be the
name of the Lord, thy God; glory be the name of His children. We say to you,
that that you take in need shall be fulfilled and the cup shall runneth over. But we say to you, are you sure that it is a
need?
Take things into construction − for the venture
that you seek shall be fulfilled. A person has many needs and one of the most important
needs that they have is to dream and to fulfill their dreams.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18-557-2]
who is here tonight asks, ‘I have a choice of living on either coasts, but my
interests and job opportunities are in N.Y.C. However, I hate
We should answer your question in this manner −
to live in a place that you do not like is to walk upon your soul. We say unto
you, ride with the winds. It is better to be free and have nothing than it is
to be a prisoner in another land.
We say to you, look unto this land and you shall see
it in a fulfilling manner for both job opportunity − for you shall see
that it may be fulfilled − the opportunity sits before you.
And you say unto us, how can this be? And we say unto
you, a tree has many branches and it bears many types of fruit.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18-557-3]
who is also here tonight asks, ‘Will my son [18-557-4] get his surgery
completed safely and successfully?’”
We see thy need. All things that you speak of shall
not be as the way you expect − but it shall be in the end for the best.
We know that we sound as if, that we are not answering that question in full.
Should you stop and look you shall see that we are.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [6-281-2]
asks, ‘Should I accept the position with D.A.R. or stay with B.B.’”
Yes, we see thy need, and we say stay; for all has not
been shown to you yet. You have been shown only part of the plan. There is more
to be seen. Allow the other part to come before you make this decision.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. ‘Dear Aka,
can you give me guidance for this time period? Thank you, [9-360-2].’”
Yes, we see thy need and we should say unto you, let
glory be unto the son. And we will say unto, let glory be unto the father and
let the father be as a beacon for his son. And let the family be as one that
walks through the path of life and allows the light to shine before it.
We say, you have come unto the land and you have
worked at the healing springs. Yet the springs need more. Allow your brain and
body to seek forth that of a spiritual nature.
For soon shall be before you your studies in school.
And do them well, for you shall be preparing yourself for a greater deed, which
shall be brought before you − for he who shall come shall ask you to walk
with him. Prepare yourself.
Now we say unto you, you have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18-557-6]
who is also here tonight asks, ‘How am I to get about coordinating the people I
am to work with to the most productive and beneficial state for all?’”
We shall answer your question in this manner and in
this way, be honest and forthright. Go unto this and gather the people and say,
“I have come not to bear you false witness, yet I have come not to hear false
witness. I have come to do a job and I shall do the very best job that I know
how, and I shall expect each of you to do the same − for I expect you to
do the job in such a manner that He who looks from above, who is all around us,
could look and see and be pleased at all we do. That is how I shall perform my
work and I shall expect you to do the same.” If you do so in this manner, you
shall soon know that a greatness shall come of the task that you are about to
perform.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18-553-2]
asks, ‘I am buying a house on seven acres of land just outside of Globe. Please
tell me if the ground is safe for my health.’”
Yes, we shall answer your question, and we shall
answer it in this manner − the ground is safe for your health. But we
should also answer in another manner − there shall be earthquakes and
tremors in that area. We say to you, if these should frighten you, they shall
not endanger you. There is a fault that runs through the land from there unto
what is known as your Roosevelt Dam site, all the way across and through that
area and across through the Pinal mountains and through the other side beyond
the valley, and it goes beyond the road to San Pedro. Know this -- in the year
of 1899 there came upon the land a great earthquake that centered on the land.
[Editor's note: At this point, the
rest of Aka's words could not be tape recorded
because the electricity went out in Ray's house. Those present listened to Aka's words.]
We say unto you, awaken soul Ray from his slumber.
