17th Annual Meeting of
the Association of Universal Philosophy
at a church to God, Dripping
Springs Road, Arizona
Aka is here.
“Good evening, Aka.
Where is Ray?”
Soul Ray stands with God.
Yes, we see thy need, and we shall answer in this
manner and in this way. Glory be the name of the Lord,
thy God, forever and ever.
And we will tell you this parable in this manner
and in this way.
For in the mountains there was a
beautiful valley. And in the valley grew an abundance of all things. But only
in one place in the valley, in a little hidden place, did the roses grow. All
the other flowers had heard of the roses, but none had seen them. And [one from all] the plants [were] stories of the beautiful roses
[that] had
gone from this beautiful valley down into the deserts.
And all the plants knew of this.
But some of the plants said, “How
can this story be true, the story we hear of [this] beautiful plant that
produces such beautiful flowers? And how can it be? And how can it exist, that the
animals do not destroy it, do not eat it, if it’s so beautiful?”
And the desert plants said, “Because
it has thorns like we have to protect ourselves.”
Other plants said, “It must be
poison and the animals know of this. That is why they do not eat of it.”
Now the keeper of the world’s plants,
who had been one of the designers of the Earth, heard the plants discussing all
these various things. And as he came and looked at all the plants, the plants
asked him, “Is it true of this plant? Is there such a plant?”
And he always answered, “Yes.”
And the desert plants said, “Does it
have thorns to protect itself?”
And the keeper of the plants [said],
“No, not now, but one day it may, for it has no thorns, it has no natural
protection because it has no natural enemies, for all the animals have looked
upon it and seen it fair and know it is a gift from God.”
And then man came upon this land,
and he found this rose and he reached down and he clasped it to hide it away.
And when he did the rose grew thorns.
Now, the story goes that there are
still roses in hidden valleys without thorns. And if you should find them, do
not grasp them up to hide them away. Find them where they are. Look at them.
Appreciate them. Smell them. But if you leave them, they will never have a
thorn.
And so it is with things that roam
free upon the earth, whether it is a plant, or an animal, or a bird or a fowl.
That beautiful freedom gives it a beauty within itself because each part is a
part from God, yet a whole, and part within itself.
You have many questions, ask.
“Yes, Aka.
[11-405-4] who is here tonight asks, ‘Could you please tell me the seriousness
of my father’s physical condition?’”
Yes, we see your need. We may not
violate the freedom of choice of another human being or a soul, but since you
ask from love we will tell you these things.
If your father had truly wished you
to know he would have told you himself. But since you should worry, we should
say unto you, your father’s condition is not so severe that he will not be with
you for a while, for he shall. He has listened to a lot of your words. With
small encouragement, he will come unto soul Ray for healing. And this might be
an answer for both of you.
But because of your asking as a loving daughter,
more can be done.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka.
[18-553-1] who is also here tonight asks, ‘What are [18-540-1] and his brother are
to do in this life?’”
You ask more than one question. You
ask not what they shall do, but what should they do. These things we shall not
tell you, for you must make those choices yourself.
What could you do? You already know this, both of you. So that is yet
another choice. But being brothers is a great achievement within itself. Enjoy
that and allow yourselves to make these decisions together. But yet, since they
affect each person in a separate way, you must make your decisions in a
separate way. But hide nothing from your brothers, for that that you have found
shall build and continue.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka.
[18-540-1] who is also here tonight asks, ‘In regards to my
life reading, who was my daughter and who was her husband? What relations
did I have with the Eagle?’”
First, we shall answer your question
in this manner. You, your mother of today, was your
niece of that day. Your daughter of this day was your mother of that day.
And what relationship to the Eagle
did you have? And we say unto you, for in that day, as the kachina
went into the mountain, and went beyond the mountains, and went into the land
of the Eagle and brought the teachings forth upon the Earth, so did you.
Hear all these words, for they are
yours. Know that there are many sides and many questions yet unanswered. Look
at your readings, each of you. Take from them. Form your questions that we [might]
answer and fill your cups. For there are so many questions in your minds it is
hard for us to decide which one to answer first.
You wish to know your spiritual
relationship. In that time you had both been of the [Nakuna]
priesthood. You had traveled unto all parts of the Earth. You had been great
missionaries, bringing about world peace and fellowship. You achieved one of
the greatest civilizations man has known since, of peace and prosperity, food,
clothing, housing, jobs, for you had be made unemployment a thing that was not known
among your people or the people of this earth. Between you and your brother you
achieved much.
Yet, you wonder how you may achieve
this again. It can be done if you wish it so.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka.
[18-553-2] who is also here tonight asks, ‘What is causing the pressure pain in
the back of my head?’”
Yes, we see your need, and we shall answer your question, that the pressure
pain was created from a combination of things − first, the lack of
hormones; second, a hypoglycemic condition; third, that of the migraine or
restriction of the blood flow; and [fourth], you had what we call, you have a
condition within yourself, a psychic ability which is unschooled as yet. You
are now finding ways of turning it loose and beginning to use it. As you do,
your life shall become happier and fuller. Because of this, prolonged conditions,
scar tissue grew in the brainstem area. This, hopefully, is being removed by
the procedures now taken.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka.
[18-553-3…Los Angeles, California], and he asks, ‘When will my business
improve?’”
Yes, we see thy need. Your answer
comes in different ways.
For the first part of the answer,
within any substance, you will get out of it what you put in it. But even a man
who has the greatest thing to sell, unless he finds a buyer, has a problem.
This will come about within a short period of time. By the time of November,
your business shall level out and begin to climb [or] grow. By April, it will
have gone beyond some of your wildest expectations.
You have other questions, ask.
“I do not have any more questions
at this time, Aka.”
Then we shall answer this question.
If the rose stood out and gave the food that was necessary for the world, there
would still be those who would want to possess it, to hold it. But a wild rose
should not be possessed or owned, any more than an eagle can be owned or
possessed, for it is only beautiful when it is free. Know these things. For the wind and the rain shall come upon all, but you cannot own
them. And so shall the sun shine. Man has tried to capture so many
things. But some things come from God and He meant for them to be free and
multiply.
There is a part of all of you that
is the rose, that is the eagle. Allow that part of you
to remain free. Do not try to capture it. As long as it is free, your souls
shall score [soar] the earth and find all the hidden places
to see and to appreciate, to smell, to touch.
Now we say unto you, you come
together once again.
Glory be the name of
the Lord, thy God. Glory be the name of His people
forever and ever.
Awaken soul Ray from his slumber.
[Editor's note: In the Christian faith, a rose without thorns is the
symbol for the birth of Christ or the coming of the Messiah.]
