[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 forever and ever.

And we say unto you, in the land that was given, in the land of the valley, we say to you, there are many times and many people who have come to this valley, each in the name of the Lord, thy God. But we say unto you, unto the land of the “7” was laid aside to be a sacred place. [Note: The valley is on Dripping Springs Road, Arizona, near the mountain with a figure “7” on its face.]

Yet, there are those who would abandon the land, and say, “Why should we prepare? Why should we go forth?”

And we say unto you, which of you shall walk away and not prepare a place for your Father? Which of you shall say unto yourself, “Should I not prepare a place in my house for both the Lord, thy God, and my own Father? Should I not prepare a place that He might lay down? Should I not prepare a place that He might not have food and lodging? If I prepare a place, should I not prepare a place for my neighbor, and my friend?”

Yet, the time of trial and tribulation lies upon you and upon the land. The seed has been cast to the wind.

But we say to you, there was a man and he went into a vast valley, and there he found all the things of goodness that the Lord should give unto him. He found the water and he found the land. And the Lord had provided unto him many plants.

But because he had so many, he gave some to this one and to that one. He bartered; He used some for amazement and amusement; he threw some away − because he could never use all that the Lord had given him. What difference did it make? If this person needed a gift, he gave them some. If that one needed a gift, he gave them some. Yet, when he got into the valley and the day’s − the most important day’s work there before him, and he could not plant the valley. Should he go unto the Lord and ask for more?

This man did go unto the Lord and said, “Lord, look upon me. Look where I stand. Other people are at fault; it is not my fault.”

And so, the Lord felt sorry for him and gave him more in abundance.

And so, instead of taking care of the water supplies, he fouled the water supplies. And his crops did not grow. And once again, he came before the Lord and said, “Oh, Lord, woe is me, for other people have come and [fallen] upon me and done me misdeeds. All things that happened to me are not my fault; they are the fault of others.”

Yet, the Lord looked upon him and said, “You, my son, must learn.”

And so, the Lord forsaked him. And he did walk into the valley of the shadows. And he did stumble upon the ground. And he drank the murky waters. And he did all these things until he could go unto the Lord and say, “Lord, it is not others who have done this, but I, myself. I have caused these things to happen. I know this now. But Lord, if it should be in Your kindness, in Your grace to have, let me have one more time, one more chance to plant the ground, to watch it become of ripe and bountiful fields, then I will do so. But Lord, I will do it not in my own greatness any longer, but in Yours. And Lord, if You see fit that I not be in charge of this, I will accept this. I will accept the smallest and least of tasks that You give. But Lord, let me help to restore what I have done.”

And the Lord looked upon him and allowed this to be so.

We say unto you, look about you. Take this parable we have given you. If hence, you cannot take it and use it, the importance of the time is great.

You have many questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [R_____ H_______], who is here tonight… asks, ‘Aka, do you and the Council have any advice on the political venture that I am about to embark on?’”

Yes, we see your need[s], and we should answer them in this manner. We have just answered that which you ask, but we shall say in a different way, be the very best you can. And in being so, and asking for the Lord’s help, the Lord shall give you all He has. Know these things to be true. For when you take this office you shall represent all religions and all the colors of the Lord; make it a righteous thing. And the Lord shall place those things you need before you to succeed.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [S_____ B_____] who is here tonight, also asks, ‘Aka, we are going to forfeit our house and give it back to the finance company. How can we do this without a lot of trouble with the finance company?””

The easiest way is to prepare a quit claim deed back to the finance company. Sign it, and take it to the office of the Registrar and register it. Take, therefore, a certified copy and hand it back to your creditor along with the key.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [S_____ ____] also asks, ‘Will it be wise to end a 40-year marriage now and start on my own? If so, what type of work could I do?’”

If you seek to do that which you are about to do and you have in your mind, there go into that of house care. You shall soon find that you [can] build a good clientele and have a good income.

You have other questions, ask.

“[S_____ K________], she is also here tonight, asks, ‘Will I make good money this year to support my family?’”

We shall answer your question. By bringing these things together that are needed, it shall be so. But answer yourself in this way. What is the greater part that you wish to achieve? To have the world, yet not have yourself? We say to you, reach out your hand, put your cup forth, and we shall fill it. Take our words and think upon them, and when you have thought them through come back, and we shall give you more.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [R_____ B_____...Amarillo, Texas]: ‘I am crippled with arthritis and in constant pain in my arms and shoulders, knees, ankles, and neck. What must I do to restore my body to mobility and free myself from pain?’”

These new [substances] that soul Ray has come forth with, use them. You shall be surprised at how they shall work.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [J___ R___ (4-125-2)], who is also here tonight asks, ‘Will anything ever work for me that it not be [as] in my childhood, but that I have many loved ones who also love me?’”

Yes, we see thy need, and we shall answer your question in this way. Those things that you seek shall come in a time. But we say unto you, each thing you have chosen before you entered into this body. Realize that the greater things are yet to come. [But] the seed that has been planted shall soon sprout. Yet, there is more planting to be done. You must understand these things.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [B___ L______ …Houston, Texas] would like to know his destiny in life.”

We would suggest that you ask for and receive a life reading.

We should also make a suggestion that, for a period of time, that more readings than just once a week be done. We shall give further instructions at a different time.

Now, we shall say unto you unto these words. For the Lord placed upon the Earth a gift. Some have used this gift in a righteous manner. Some have not.

That is not the question. The question that is in your mind is whether soul Ray has cancer or not. At the present time, we do not see this; yet, it is a possibility in a future time. The extent of the injury has gone beyond that into which we said before. We shall give that help that is needed. But we shall also give him the knowledge he needs to make the decisions he must in his mind.

We shall not ask you if you understand, for you do not at the present time.

Now we say unto you, one step at a time, unto all things, is the way you complete a journey.

Awaken soul Ray from his slumber.
