Aka is here.

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

Soul Ray stands with God.

Yes, we see thy need, and shall answer your questions 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 this parable in this manner and this way.

For upon the desert five brothers lived. And as they began to multiply into families, and their families grew, the rainfall and the small amount of water that came but lasted only a short time, and the wells were not enough to irrigate the land from. And so the five brothers came together, and they said, one unto another, “What shall we do? How shall we survive? Because each time that our number multiplies, there’s more mouths to feed, more people to put clothes on, and build shelters for. We have, but our greatest source of water comes in an abundance, but it leaves and goes past us.”

And one of the brothers said, “I think we should go forth and see where the water comes from.”

And the other brother said, “I think we should go forth and see where the water goes.”

But yet, another brother said, “I think we should build a structure here from stone and carve the stone in such a way that when pressure was applied upon it, the more pressure, the more holding power. We should dig down until we hit what is known as bedrock, and plant our stones from there up.”

The other brothers said, “This would be an enormous job. There’s not enough of us to do this.”

And so it was decided that one brother would go and find the source of the water; the other brother would go and find where the water had gone.

But when they left, the other brother went forth and began to dig until he found the bottom. But when he began to dig he found an abundance more of water. And he ran unto the other brothers and he said, “Look, the water has not gone; it is but sitting underneath the ground.”

And the brother who had gone forth to find the water had come back, and he had said, “I have found that the water, the source of the water, is into the mountains. But the water comes down so far and disappears into the ground.”

And the other brother came back; he said, “I found that the water flows into the ocean, and I found where it came up from the ground.”

And they began to discuss what they could do.

In the meanwhile, the brother who’d dug down and found the water began to build a windmill. And from the windmill he turned a water wheel which picked the water up and brought it up to a higher level. At first, its designs were very crude, but as time passed his process became better and better, and soon, he was producing enough water to more than water his own fields, but for some of his brothers.

But the other brothers went on discussing.

And the brother went on to design even better and more modern equipment.

And so finally, the other brothers came unto him and said, “You have taken monopoly; while we were busy looking for the source of the water, you stole the water from us.”

The brother said, “I’ve stolen nothing from you. I found the water; I told you where I found it; and I said, ‘Look, it is here.’ While you discussed, I built. And now you think I have stolen the water. But had you come to me and asked, I would have shown you how to build these devices that I have built. But since you have accused me without cause, then I will sell you the machine that lifts the water and irrigates your field, but I will take one-fourth of each of your fields.”

They grumbled. But soon, they decided that this was what they must do.

The same brother went forth, and he studied the earth and the ground, and began to feed the earth in such a manner that it produced more and better product. He studied his cattle and his sheep, and those too began to produce better.

And still, his brothers said, “Where does he get this; he is our brother? Why does God give him these gifts?”

And so, they went from the desert and they went into the land of the holy one. And they brought this, and they brought the accusation against their brother, that he had stolen their land, that he’d held secrets from them.

But when they brought this before him, the holy one said, “Judge not, lest you be judged. But we say to you, the sun and the rain shines upon all men, and so does knowledge, and therefore, we find no fault in your brother. Go and make peace with your brother and be glad that you have him.”

And so they went back.

But in their hearts they had not forgiven their brother. Their hearts had become hard. And once again, they approached their brother, and they took from him his land and his machines. And [he] took him and imprisoned him, and imprisoned his family and all his descendants.

But soon, the machines began to break down, and they did not know how to repair them. And soon there was dissension within themselves, one side saying, “Free him and give him back his land,” the other saying, “No.” It became a great battle among them.

And while the battle raged, the brother walked away, and he left the land, and he took his people with him. And he went into another land, and took his knowledge with him. And he built, therefore, unto himself and his people a great civilization.

Now we say unto you, the builders would spend forever upon the land. But the Lord shall give unto each of you your own gifts. How you use them shall be entirely up to you. But do not begrudge another of what they have, but be glad that they have what they have. If a woman possesses beauty, then be glad for her beauty. If a person can sing with a beautiful voice, listen, and thank God for the gift that you too are sharing. There are many gifts that the Lord hands unto each of you every day. Put gladness in your hearts. But if you cannot − if you cannot − do not destroy what is in front of you. Walk away, and let others share it. And let others come into the light and the glory of all men.

You have many questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. I have a question from [13-432-4] who is here tonight. And she asks, ‘May I have a life reading at this time? If not, may I have the guidance needed at this time?’”

We see thy need. And we have before us the body, the soul, the spirit and the immortal body of the same. And we shall say unto you, let us give you that that you need for this time, and we shall give you the other at a different time.

And we shall take you back into the time that this land stood magnificent before the world, and it had glory before the world. You lived not in a far place from here. You and your people had settled along one of the great rivers that flowed into the ocean, which you now call the Gila. You and your people had flourished because you were one of the Rainbow people. And all knew that the Rainbow people were God's chosen. And you gloried in that.

You were but a broom maker, a broom-maker’s wife. You brought forth the material from the fields that these could be built. Your family lived well because your brooms were exported into many parts of the known world at that time because of their great fiber and long use. And the brand that your husband used as his trademark were that of two upside-down hammers with a nail in the center. And wherever anyone saw this, they knew that the workmanship was of the best quality.

Your life [had] allowed you to do much studying. And that time, at the age we find you, was a time that you had raised your children and fulfilled the needs of the body, and you had desire to fill the needs of the spirit, you and your husband. And you journeyed forth, and went [unto] the great cities and to the great temples upon the land. And you went unto the isles of San Diegos, and you learned there from the people. But you were greatly amazed, for you saw all colors, all races of men living in true harmony. And you knew, in truth, that the words of the Nakuna were true, for they gave forth the way and the path to that of the [Shining] Mountain. And you knew that those of the gods were there to teach your people and guide them.

We take you forth in time and space into the time which you know as the Christian era, a time of the birth of Jesus of Nazara, of Bethlehem, for you, too, one of the children who would be spared from the sword. Because you were a male, had they found you you would have died. You joined those that were known as Joseph and Mary, your parents and you and others that made the flight into Egypt where sanction was given. You learned at the same teacher’s hand as that of Jesus. You knew one side of you saw the boy to play with, the other side of you saw a Messiah, because you fished and walked and swam in the rivers and did all the things that boys do. But as word came that you could both return back into your own land, instead of going back into your own home, you went unto Jerusalem, the city, to live. And there you married. And in your own way you forgot your experiences of youth. And you really did not notice; you had heard the stories, many stories, of the miracles performed by this one. But you had also heard of the miracles performed by the one known as John the Baptist, and some said that he was [the] Messiah; yet he was to say he was not.

And so, on the day of the palms, when he came into the city, and into the temple, and he drove away the money changers, your heart leaped forth as you saw him. And you ran forth and you said, “My friend!”

And he ran forth and embraced you. And you sat and talked and you visited. You thought of the days that you spent as a child, and for a while both of you were caught up in this great excitement. But he said unto you, “I have loved your friendship and I shall always cherish it, but I leave now to go about my Father’s work. And as I do so, you will think me mad. And by tomorrow you will be among those who denounce me.”

And so it was. As they stripped and whipped him, and crowned him with thorns, and crucified him, you wanted to know him not. Yet, that within you said, “Let me go forth and proclaim my friend, his innocence.”

After the death, and the resurrection, you had journeyed with your family to the Sea of Galilee. And there you saw him walk and talk. And you went forth unto him and you said, “I am ashamed; I have denounced you. I said I did not know you.”

And he laughed and he said unto you, “Sometimes, my friend, I would not know myself, so it is all right if you [did] not know me for a little while.” And he bent and he kissed your forehead and said, “Go, and find peace in your house.”

You were not to see him again.

Your days passed. And you left the body − not to enter it again until you came again into the American Revolution time. And this time, you are a very strong believer in the freedom that was being fought for, and the belief. And you went unto your master and said, “Master, release me. Allow me to go and fight for this great cause, that all men would be considered equal before God and man.”

But your master said unto you, “They do not want slaves.”

But as the days passed your master changed his mind. And he took you, and he himself went forth, and joined in the fighting. He was slain, but as he lay dying he took pen in hand and wrote your papers of freedom. For even as a black man, who had been taken from his homeland and brought into this one, justice and liberty for all meant a great deal to you.

You went on to be one of the true, great free men of that time. And even though before you were made slave you had been of a different religion, you saw that that you thought was good within the Quaker religion, and you joined that and took it into your heart. And when asked, “Would you fight again,” even though you had taken the vows not to fight, of nonviolent ways, you said, “If ever I am called upon to keep this country free I shall do so.”

And now, we find you in this time. You are not black; you are white. And you have had all the privileges, but yet, you have found that color has made no difference. In your own way, you have found your own means of slavery. And you have broken the shackles once again for freedom. And once again you have sought your spiritual growth.

We say unto you, take up the Rose [A Rose without Thorns]. Take up the bread and the wine. Allow them to grow. But do more than allow; make them so. Use the same energy that you put into becoming that of your own trade into making the land free for all.

You will continue to be that which you are. You are thinking now that you shall move from here to another place. And you find yourself in your own way [in wound] once again in the financial net that you were when you lived in Houston. And we say unto you, there are answers for this. You do not have to go anywhere to find the answer; it is but before you. Seek. The field is fertile here. Allow your soul to sink into the ground and become part of.

Now, we say unto you, you have many questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [18-559-1] who is here tonight asks, ‘How can I help my wife become well and healthy again?’”

We say unto you, give unto her the dignity and respect and the love that she deserves. But give unto her faith, and allow that which has been brought before her to come into fulfillment.

You are saying unto us, “Why do you not rise her and heal her?”

And we say unto you, we have given you the tools that are needed. But you shall receive more than a healing before you leave.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [18-554-3…Chihauhua, Mexico], he asks, ‘I wanted to know if I will walk again?’”

We say unto you, we have already answered your question, and you shall walk again. You shall not only walk, but you shall run.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [18-559-2], who is also here tonight, asks, ‘Why was I placed here, and was I with my husband, [18-559-1], in a previous life?’”

We shall answer your question in this manner and [in] this way. Yes, you were with your husband in a previous life, and you were placed here, quite simply, to find the Rose. You have found that which you seek. When your cup is full, allow others to drink from it. And when you have fully understood that which we have spoken to you, come back and ask again, and we shall give you another cup.

Now we say unto you, soul Ray grows weary; our time is now short.

Soon, upon the land that is known as Texas, and those lands that border the Gulf of Mexico, shall be faced with another great storm. Let your group begin to work on it now. Allow your strength to grow as it should. But you may link in minds over a long distance. You have the tools to do this, if you allow all the people to be in tune and in thought at the same time each day. Set aside this time when all your minds shall be placed into turning the storm into something useful instead of destruction.

Now is the time of the cherubim.

Awaken soul Ray from his slumber.
