               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.
