Aka is here.

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

Soul Ray stands with God.

Yes, we see thy need. We shall 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 shall say this parable in this manner and in this way.

For once upon a mountain there grew the most beautiful of roses. There was none like it in all of the world. Many people came from everywhere to see such a beautiful sight.

And one day, a man came, not to see, but to steal. And he stole this beautiful plant and hid it away. But where he had dug the plant and where the thorns had struck his hands they became festered and infected. And he hid his hands because he wanted no one to know what he had done. But day by day he became worse.

And yet, day by day he would creep to a secret hiding place where the plant was slowly dying, for it had no sunshine.

He thought to himself, “If I keep such a plant surely I will die.” So he took the plant out into the desert to hide it so that no one would know that he had stolen it. And he had found a hidden valley that was barren. He thought, “Surely no one will look here.” He removed the plant [into] the ground.

The rains came, and the plant gently put its root into the earth. And they held fast. And soon, everyone was talking about this most beautiful plant in this most unusual [of] place, that even though nothing else seemed to grow it grew.

And the man heard of this, and he heard of the spring that had occurred by this beautiful plant that had given it nourishment and water. And many said, “For those who should go there, they would be healed.” His hands and his body had become much worse. And so he went unto the plant.

But when he got close he became fearful that the people would know that he had harmed the plant, that they would know that he was the one who had removed the plant. But soon, his need overcame his fear. And he walked up to the spring and to the plant. But as he began to reach toward the water his hand[s] and his body burned with fever and he fell unconscious.

And while he was unconscious, the plant spoke to him and said, “Why do you fear, when in truth, had you not removed me from the mountain and brought me here, I truly would have not discovered this spring that has given me life and purpose? For on the mountain I was a beautiful thing to look at, and many came to see me, yet I served no purpose unto myself. But here I serve a purpose, for here they bring the sick to be healed.”

When the man awoke, he looked upon his body and he was healed. And he remembered what the plant had told him. And he swore before his God and all that he would write a book and tell the truth about this great plant.

The story we have told you is a simple story. But the plant is much like your own souls. Unless they find a way to give, not only receive, they cannot grow − nor can the mind, nor the body. And so we say unto you, take the gift of the rose unto yourselves.

You have many questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [18-511-3] who is here tonight asks, ‘I have lost a large topaz ring with three diamonds on each side. If at all possible, is there any chance of finding my ring? Thank you.’”

We see your need, and we shall answer your question in this manner. You have not lost the ring, but misplaced it. The ring is in your home. You will find a small box, brown in color, that you have stored in the closet in your bedroom. The box is of wood construction. You shall find the ring in the box.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [11-405-4] who is also here tonight asks, ‘Who was my friend across the water? Could you give me more information on my life reading?’”

Yes, we see thy need. And we shall answer your question in this manner. You have sought out one part of the reading. But to understand the fullness of it, understand where your people went and what happened to them. To do this shall take some action upon your own self. But you are upon the land. Search from this point out, for there is much knowledge here to be gained.

We would say unto you that one of your friends − not the one you think of − but one of your friends was your father of this time. And that is a question you wished to have answered.

As you search out and look forth unto the depth of yourself, come back and we shall answer other questions.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [18-555-1] and [18-555-2] ask, ‘Aka, thank you and the council for your help and your love. Tonight we ask for your guidance for our child and ourselves.’”

Yes, we see thy need. And we shall say unto you, go, therefore, unto the mountain after the birth and take the child with you. Go unto this special place that soul Ray goes − you know it − and prepare and take care of the small grave that lays there. In doing so, look closely into the eyes of your child, and you shall discover a great secret.

For those who seek, the doorway is always open. And for those who reach forth, your cup shall runneth over.

We say unto you, look unto the parable unto the first of the reading and you shall find the wisdom that you seek. The health that you asked for was given, for soul Ray went upon this place and spoke unto his Lord and asked. And those things that would be between him and his Lord have been given. If you wish to know of these, ask him in private.

We say unto you, you have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [18-540-1] who is also here tonight asks, ‘How am I doing with my learning and work?’”

The spring that you have gone forth to give life unto has borne forth life. But we say unto you, complete your task; line the pond with concrete and rock and use steel where it is necessary. But make it where that those who wish to come, for whatever reason, to take from the healing springs may do so. But make it into a place that you would hold in your heart and soul forever.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [18-555-3] who is also here tonight asks, ‘Is the support or guidance I have given to my two sons sufficient?’”

We shall answer your question in this manner. As you watch a tree grow, if you stand too close you can seldom see it until it is above you. And when it is above you, you cannot appreciate it until it shades you.

We shall answer your question in this manner. You have given love, and all that love has gone, in a manner.

For once there was a woman who walked into the church, and a man by the name of Jesus of Nazara was speaking that day. The woman was poor, and she had very little to give. And so she brought out the three pennies which she possessed. She thought long upon them, for they were all she possessed. And she gave them. The rich man who stood beside her looked at her small gift and gave a great gift. Yet the Master looked upon the three pennies and said, “What a greatness you have given, for you have given all you have and you have given from the heart.”

We say unto you, what you have given you have given from the heart. How do you measure such a gift? The Lord cannot and we cannot. But know within your soul and yourself that it is enough.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [18-555-4] who is also here tonight asks, ‘Will my son [18-555-5]’s back get well without an operation?’”

We see your needs. And we say unto you, bring him unto soul Ray. Allow him to see; allow him to touch; and allow him to speak unto you, and then an answer shall come. But allow those things to happen which need to happen, for there is more than the physical body that should seek healing.

And now we should say unto you, for the flight of an eagle is a beautiful thing to behold, for it is free and searching, and when you see it, all look at it in awe. But we say unto you, the sparrow, who is much smaller, would fly a brave a flight as an eagle.

Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God. Glory be the name of His children forever and ever.

Awaken soul Ray from his slumber.
