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.]
