Aka is here.
“Good evening, Aka. Where is soul
Ray?”
Soul Ray is 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, for we shall
tell you this parable in this manner and this way.
For upon the land, in the land of the desert
land, there came forth three brothers into this wilderness. And these three
brothers, they came from what is known as the Water Clan. And because they had
come of the Water Clan, they did look unto the land and take, therefore, of it.
And they did divert the waters of the rivers, and they did build dams and
construct canals, and therefore, they diverted and brought forth the large
proportions of land unto irrigation.
At first, all things seemed to come
alive as the water touched each part. And in the first years their harvest was
bountiful, and plenty. And they had more than enough of everything of all kind[s]
to go around. The second year they brought forth cattle to graze upon the land.
And the third year they brought forth sheep. And it was bountiful.
But one day, as though the hand had
laid upon the land, even though the land was irrigated, it began to crust white
with salt, and alkaline, and those things that grew no longer grew in
abundance. And as they looked upon the land and they said, “How can this be,
for we are of the Water Clan? We know the use of the water. And we have brought
the water to our people. Why is it now that this water that we bring is
tainted, and it grows not, and allows not our crops to grow?”
At first, they went unto their own
people. And they received much advice. But no one could tell them what had
happened to the water. And finally they went, therefore, and asked that all the
clans may be brought together that a council be brought forth, that knowledge
should be sought.
And then it came to pass that all
the clans were brought one unto another and a council was sought. And they said
unto the people, “We are of the Water Clan. We provide the water; yet the water
is tainted. It grows not our crops. It fouls our land. We know not why. Someone
must know.”
It was decided that since the largest
body of water was the ocean, and the Keeper of the Ocean, of the big land,
should know this answer. And it was decided that one of the brothers should go
and ask, and bring this knowledge back.
And it became the time of the year
when the pilgrimage was made that the urn of the water would be refilled from
the mighty oceans. And so they traveled together, and they went there. And when
they reached the mighty ocean, they went unto the land that the kiva Keeper of
the Big Water, who lived there. And they said unto him, “We need your advice.
We need to know why the water in our land no longer grows our crops.”
And the kiva of the Keeper, said, “I
know not an answer for you. You must go beyond and seek out the advice of the
scientists, the people who make a study of such things.”
And so, you ventured forth into the
land that is now known to you as Yuma. And you went there forth up into the
great canyon, into the big kiva, into the land of both the Hopi and the Zuni.
And they said unto you, “We will go
back with you and see this land and see this water, and see if we can find the
reason for this to happen to you.” And so they went with him.
And many days had passed when he
reached home. The soil was much disturbed. And so part of the people who had
come with you, the scientists, said, “Part of us will stay and see what can be
done for the land to change it. The other part of us shall go unto your river
and see what has happened to it.”
And so they did travel up, and they
found, as they went farther and farther up into the river, they found that the
rivers had began to change and alter. They were not producing the amount of
water that they had. They would spend more time as they went over the salt
flats, and therefore, they were picking up more salt content. They also found
that as it went through the lime flats, in that portion, that it was picking up
more lime.
And so it was decided that the river
should be diverted, that a new passage should be made for the river.
And so, the brothers called forth
unto all the clans and they sent many workers unto these lands. And they did
divert the land of the river. And as they diverted around these areas the
problem disappeared.
At the same time, the scientists who
had come with the farmers had found sulfur deposits that could be laid into the
land, and the land changed back into good land.
And as these great things were
found, and the land renewed, it called for a great celebration. And everyone
thought, “What celebration can there be? What can be done? How shall we do it?
We must celebrate the rebirth of the land, the rebirth of our water, and the
rebirth of our crops. What great celebration do we have? What ceremony may we
pick from that should cover all these things?”
And so, they went unto the priests
and they said, “Tell us, what celebration should we have?”
And the priests thought. And the
elders thought.
And as they prayed one appeared
among them. And this stranger came, as before, as the legends had said. He
appeared with in them and among them. And he said unto them, “Give forth your
celebration, and combine that of your Corn ceremony with your Thanksgiving
ceremony. And therefore, the Lord, your God, shall hear you, the giver of the
lands and the water, and the crop.”
They listened to this one, for they
knew his words were strong and true.
And even though their harvest had
been spared [sparse] that year, they went forth unto their
storehouses and brought the best of their corns, the best of their melons, the
best of all those things of beans, and squash. They brought forth the best of
the hides. And they brought forth their feast of Thanksgiving, and they brought
forth the great ceremony.
Now we say unto you, when you have
learned what these people have learned, when you know that to make the land and
what you have to produce the best, denying yourself no knowledge, giving
yourself all knowledge, and giving unto the Lord those things that He should
give you − then you will know that becoming one of the People, and becoming
a Nakuna, the importance of each. For it is not until you have reached the
bottom of the barrel that it shall be refilled. These things have come hard for
you, all of you, and even harder has come your understanding of sharing and
loving and giving.
But we say unto you, know these things. If a
thief comes in the night and steals those things you would give unto the Lord,
do not reward him by allowing him to take more at your Thanksgiving ceremony.
Do not reward him, for you have a viper among you when you do this. Cast aside
those who offend thee. Allow yourselves to come whole within yourselves. If you
do this, then in truth, you have learned the first three of your steps.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka.
[11-405-4] who is in Houston asks for a life reading.”
Yes, we see her need. And we have
before us the body, the soul, and the spirit and the immortal body of the same.
And we say unto you, what we have
given unto the first of this shall reflect unto the last of this, for we find
this one in the land of the Rainbow People. And we find this one wed at a young
age. But we must have you understand something. When we say you are of the
Rainbow People, you have to understand that the red race and the white race
lived side by side in harmony. They lived in what you would now call the hills
of the San Diego. And a great city flourished there, of trade. And as the
people made one part of the dye that went unto the others to dye the fabrics of
the many colors, that that you married into at a young age was an apprentice of
the dye makers. This one made many trips at a young age to study from the Nakuna
priesthood.
We would allow you to understand
these things. At a later time, when the great catastrophe hit this lands, and
your people went north, up and through the Bering Straits, and across, and that
of what you call Iceland, and into Finland, it has taken you many generations
to return back into the land from which you started, [on] which you gave birth
unto your children, unto which you learned and learned from.
Now we could take you back into
other of your lifetimes. But know, this lifetime we speak of is an important
period that carved into your heart and your soul a permanent memory of a place
and a people that you would seek out again and again.
It is not by chance that your son of
this time was a man of that time, because, you must understand, even though a
man was allowed many wives, none of these came unwillingly. They did not lose,
what you would call, the respect. Nor were they considered dumb. They were
sought out in marriage because of
their knowledge. They were also sought out because of their beauty. But when a
man took on the responsibility of a wife, those children would then become a part
of the mother’s culture. And that is why careful selection by both male and
female was done.
Now you sought out your friend
across the water. And your families became close. And this friend of yours
across the water was as your brother. And you brought forth unto your life and
your household, because of your ancestry, that of the highest of the Nakuna
priesthood. And you went forth on many trips with your husband. Because you had
chosen a man who had six wives − each bearing children, each fitting into
the community, each contributing to the whole − this is why all those
things that you have sought so long have been placed before you.
It would seem in this reading that
we are spending a great deal of time on one
life. Our reason for this is because it became an obsession with you. Those
things you came forth and brought forth from that lifetime you have sought ever
since.
And you have sought out the binding
tie between you and your son of this time. And we say to you, your son of that
time served as an uncle to your children and a teacher.
But we say to you, there is much more
we could tell you, and much we shall tell you. We shall allow you to digest
that which we have said and allow you to form questions. We cannot cover in a
short period of time all of the greatness that you found and have found. But we
have found a way of giving you a path to follow, if you will. Look, therefore,
and you shall see that which you seek.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18-547-1…Houston,
Texas] asks, ‘I would like to ask Aka the reason for my eleven-year-old son,
[18-552-1], having frequent headaches lately, accompanied by much vomiting
− also what to do about it?’”
Yes, we see your need, and we
shall answer your question. Your son has the problem of an intestinal flu, or a
virus. The second part is your son has come into contact with toxic waste from
the area. We would suggest the using that of the [dock] herb in all of his
drinking water, diluting it one-half ounce to the gallon. This should correct
his problem.
We would also suggest that the son
seek out the advice of soul Ray.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18-552-2], who
is here tonight, asks, ‘How does one find his path in life, any career?’”
We would answer your question in
this manner and in this way. The pathway is but of many pathways.
Sometimes the greatest of pathways can lay before
you and you cannot see this. Yet it has appeared before you many times. Some
people are impressed by things they have heard. They see not the true energy or
the source of the energy. And we say unto you, the source of the energy that
you seek is that of the Maker, the Giver.
But at the same time, you seek out
compassion and understanding. You have
compassion, and you have understanding. Yet, you say unto us, “Why is these
things not given freely from one unto another?” And we say unto you, prejudice
comes from many, (sigh) many things. It is easy to judge. Yet, it is said, “The
getting is easy, the keeping is hard.” And this is true, when it comes to judgment.
It is difficult to answer your
question in a straightforward answer because you ask[ed] such a broad question.
You have the opportunity before you, business-wise, to do anything you wish.
You have the opportunity before you, and they shall appear before you, to start
a new business if you wish, a very successful one.
But you also seek spiritual guidance,
and a compassionate God. We say unto you, God is God; He is the God of all
− not of one, not of one race, not of one people, not of one religion,
but He is the God of all man. And He is a caring God, a loving God.
There are other questions that you
shall form in your mind. We see this, and we also see that you are not fully
satisfied with the answer that we have given you. But it will have to do for
now. Digest this that we have given and ask again, and we shall give more.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [14-125-2] asks,
‘Which of the two career paths should I choose for fulfillment, and keeping my
home and things, financially? Please help me.’”
We shall answer your question
quite simply. There’s opportunities to go to work, where you are, in the
engineering field. You once held a position in what is known as Ft. Huachuca.
That position and others are open; all you must do is knock upon the door.
We will answer your question in
other ways. You have a multiple education − one in engineering, one in
journalism. It has been difficult for you to separate the two. But we say unto
you, know this − that they can walk hand in hand, one unto another, and
serve all purposes and all needs.
You say unto us, “If I am follow[ing]
the way of the Lord, how is it that those things have happened unto me?” And we
say unto you, look at these things that have happened unto you, and gain from
them. If you do this, then you can pass on unto greater things. If you cannot
do this, your passing will be difficult.
But we would say unto you [in] other
words. Come unto soul Ray for counseling, for there are many things that should
be said unto you in private.
Now we would say unto you, soul Ray
grows weary.
And we say unto the one known as [15-470-1], be
patient. Do not be a Jonah. But also know these things. If those people from
the city of Sodom had altered their ways, Sodom would exist yet. Yet, it does.
Know these things.
But we also say unto you, those
things we spoke unto you, the time, are going because the clock has started. And
as the clock has started, do not diversify from your path. Store the things we
have said. Do the things we have said. There will be those who say, “Look at
this person; look how foolish they are.” But we say unto you, there will be
those who shall try to trade you gold for your food, for they cannot eat gold,
nor can they drink it.
We say unto you, your land is in
upheaval. The Sword is poised to strike. At first, like a thunderstorm, you
have a sprinkle here and a sprinkle there, but soon the storms shall come, and
with them shall come the altering of the land. Pray unto the Lord, thy God,
that as these things should happen, that lives shall be saved, and your prayers
shall be heard.
Awaken soul Ray from his slumber.
