Aka is here.

Good evening, Aka. Where is Ray?

Soul Ray stands with God.

Yes, we see thy need, and we should answer in this manner.

We should say unto thee the parable of the two farmers.

Between the two farmers ran an [abundant full] creek, which both extracted water from and farmed their lands. The one farmer came unto the other and said unto him, “If we should go to the head of our land and build a dam --”

The other farmer did not let him finish, but immediately began to find fault. “If we built such a dam, the waters would back up, and during the heavy rainy season would pour over and destroy our fields.”

The first farmer said, “Nay, for we shall build the dam in such a way that through the normal flow there shall be spillways.”

The second farmer said, “Well, who should distribute the water?”

The first said unto him, “Both of us can.”

The second farmer thought long and hard. He was not the type of a man to look forth into the future, and he said unto the first farmer, “Build your dam, but I shall not pay the cost.”

The first farmer went ahead and he built his dam. And as he was building the dam, he built a diversion route for the creek. And he built the dam strong. And he did build into it equal-size distribution for each person.

As the years went by, both farmers reaped benefits of the dam. And then came a year of a bountiful runoff. And, as the water grew higher and came over the spillways, the creek did rise. It did not rise above its normal run that it had before the dam was placed into place. But the second farmer, who was afraid to cross the creek, shouted across to his neighbor and said, “Look at the damnation you have brought upon me. It shall cut away my farm, and I cannot cross the creek to venture forth for supplies.”

The first farmer said, “We can cross the creek.  We shall help you. We shall build a bridge across the creek.”

Once again, the second farmer said, “Build your bridge.”

And the first farmer did labor long and hard, and he did build the bridge. And for those supplies that the farmer on the other side did need, he did bring them to him.

When the bridge was completed, the second farmer said, How should I know that this bridge is strong enough to go across?”

And the first farmer said, “You do not. You have gambled nothing. You have thought only of yourself. The bridge is there. It is strong. We have no reason to cross it, and we have no reason to bring you supplies.

And the first farmer went back to his farm. And in the dam, he did place, therefore, within those substances that would generate electricity. He did improve his farm a hundredfold.

Yet the farmer on the other side, fearful to cross, his land soon became a wasteland. He became even afraid to open the gates that allowed the water to irrigate his land. And the fear built day by day, until he did come to the edge of the creek and call across. And he did say unto the first farmer, “If you shall help me across, I shall sell you my land.”

And the first farmer said unto him, “I have no desire for your land. I have never wanted your land or any of your possessions. I have only asked to help myself and help you.” And he did walk away.

Then one day the [second] farmer came again, and he said, “If you will bring me and all of mine across, and what few flock and stock that I possessed, then I shall give you the land.”

The first farmer said unto him, “Nay, I do not want to covet anything you own. But you must be strong enough within yourself to cross this bridge.”

The second farmer waited and waited, and yet his fear did grow. And finally his sons and his wife did cross the bridge. And when he saw it safe, then he began to gather his things and cross the bridge. And then he went into the local town and he placed his farm up for sale.

The first farmer bought the land.

The second farmer stayed in the town and he did tell foul stories about the first farmer, that he built the dam and then built the bridge, all to drive him from his land and that he had cheated him.

The first farmer did not reply. He went on improving his land.

And then, one day the second farmer brought a suit against the first farmer, and he was brought into court. The first farmer stood before his peers and said, “I have been brought here this day to answer for those things I have done. I have turned the right cheek. I have turned the left cheek. Now I shall turn no more.” And he brought those upon the jury to the farm and he did show them the dam and the bridge that he had built for his neighbor to cross. He showed them that equal water was being dispensed unto both farms, that equal farms now was growing and multiplying.

Even those on the jury, some after they had seen with their own eyes, some, the majority voted to exonerate the first farmer; the others did not.­

We say unto you that this parable is much like the preparation for the coming famine. There shall always be those who should criticize those with dreams, those [who] should find solutions, those who should not come or have to come out of the caves in the future that shall prepare themselves for the day of the Anti-Christ and for the day that his reign should end. They should prepare themselves for the hundred years, the thousand years of peace. And their peace shall begin now.

And for those who should wear the mark of the Beast, they should come unto you and they should say, “If you do not take unto the Lord, Jesus Christ, as your savior, then you are for damnation, and you are a false prophet and what you do is false.”

Yes, we know of these things. But that that is good shall stand. As we have told you in the beginning of all of this that we would provide for the needs, that the time would come when unity, understanding, would link you with other organizations. You must prepare for these times, for it is only in the joint effort of all things shall you all prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah. ­

Fear not. There shall be days of darkness; there shall be tornados and hurricanes. There shall be floods and destruction; there shall be earthquakes and volcanoes, and the earth shall shift. But for those who truly believe, they shall not carry the mark of the Beast. They shall not worship the Anti-Christ. But they shall not crawl in a hole and pull it in after them, for they shall have the foresightedness to look to the future and future times. You do not need to run and hide.

All of the things that now we have laid into soul Ray’s mind, we have placed there for a purpose, that it shall give you the substances needed that you may sustain life; not only sustaining life during all of this, but you shall gain momentum and knowledge, and your civilization shall rise beneath it all. And the new heaven and the new earth that has been promised unto you shall come into fulfillment.

Which shall you be -- as the first farmer, or the second? If you were on the jury that should try this case, how would you vote? When you have decided the way you should vote, do not alter or change your mind. Remember, the life you save may not only be your own, but your children’s children; that that you preserve shall be your pathway to return.

We have told you of different things to store, but do not forget the flowers, for they are the most important of all.

You have many questions, ask.

“Yes, Aka. I have a question from [6-281-1]. She asks, Aka, will you please explain the first part of the reading of March 25, 1977, referring to understanding? How would you have us approach other groups? Were you referring to a specific group? Can you give us guidelines to go by? What is truth and half-truth?’

We shall say unto you, this we have tried to explain already. The words and the understanding lie in the parable of the two farmers. The half-truths lie in the parable of the two farmers. There shall be rumors. There shall be threats. If you believe today, ­why should you not believe tomorrow?

If more understanding and truth is placed within the substance, it is only like a flower in growth. When you first see the flower, it has attracted your attention for its unusual beauty. If you find a flower in the desert alone, you stop to examine it. At first it may be from curiosity. But if you stand and watch the flower long enough, you shall understand why and how it has come about.

We say unto you, understanding must begin at home. It cannot be with lies.  It cannot be with those who are hypocrites who should put on their flock and their best to walk into your churches one day a week and say before all, “I worship God; I accept Jesus as my savior.”

Understanding is in the knowledge that Jesus walked this land in many places. And he did appear in many forms, not all by the same name. Understanding is the realization that the Jewish nation, the Jewish people, do look upon Jesus as a prophet. They do look upon Mohammed as a prophet. But all is part of a whole. Yet they wait with you for the second coming. Do you think that God, nor the Messiah, because one man should call a man, Jesus, and another, Buddha, it would make any difference?

Yet there shall be those of false prophets; this is true.  They will come among you and they will say, “I have a whole truth.” This is not true. Our Lord, God, has learned from His children. He could not learn if He had closed His mind and said, “I have a whole truth.”

Our Lord, God, would have looked upon the human race and walked away from it a long time ago if it was not for the hope, the dream, that within time His children would cease to squabble.

We have told you of lost souls. There are many of such who shall raise false prophets, who shall join the ranks of the Anti-Christ, for without them, he could gather no strength. And he shall say, “I come in the name of the Lord; I come in the name of Jesus of Nazara.” And he shall perform many miracles. But he shall come as a man.

But even he shall come with the hope that his reign shall last. The length of his reign shall depend upon you.

At a time that the Eagle has pulled back his wings -- and we speak of the American nation -- the Bear, Russia, has strengthened his arms and his reach. And the Dragon [China] shall wait a playing [play a waiting] game.

Yes, you may prevail. But as other organizations come unto you, as we have said, let them meet with your Board of Directors. Let them state what they bring with them. Let them bring representation into your organization. Join hands. Link together. Strength.

If upon this day, every one of the people upon the earth who believe in the Second Coming link their hands together, in no way could this Anti-Christ rule. It is only in your strength shall mean the shortness of his time.

And he shall come from the Eternal Sea, the political [whirl, world].

We have said unto you, September the 6th, 1977 -- Black September.

But remember, as we came unto you seven years ago, and unto this year, also shall come forth a new beginning, for in these numbers you shall find and take from April 3rd, 1977. And from it, in your numerology, you shall find its strength.

The Lord, God, shall provide the needs. You must join in unity, in understanding -- in strength. But come together. Waste not your funds in printing many magazines and many pamphlets. Bring forth all of this unto the Rays of Philosophy. [Note: the newsletter.] Bring forth writings from other organizations as you link together, and bring forth your strengths.

And beware of those who should say unto you, “For I should keep the seventh day holy.” There are seven days as there are Seven Spirits. [See The Revelation 1:4]

And this is the seventh year. Keep each day holy.

Changes shall now come forth. There shall be many who shall control orthodox, as you would call it, religions, who shall and are there to prepare a way for the coming of the Anti-Christ. They shall succeed. But you must succeed in seeing that his reign is short.

You have other questions, ask.

“Yes, Aka. When the Anti-Christ is apparent, how can we effectively work to shorten his reign?”

By the unity of your work; by collecting forth in all forms the preparation in heaven and earth, an army of minds. We have told you the parable, that we have prepared you not only for the storage of grains, the preparation of your minds. Within your mind shall be the answer. Within light and sound shall be the answer. As it may heal, it may also heal the world.

You have other questions, ask.

“Yes, Aka, what shall we do with the material already prepared for pamphlets?”

Go over each one carefully and then print them. This shall be part, as each organization links together, the distribution. This should come in the preparation for that of public relations.

We say unto you, soul Ray now grows weary. We are feeding his mind more rapidly than ever before. The answers and the solutions that you shall need we shall place into his mind. Our time[s] in these readings are limited, yet we may feed his mind to give you answers to your solutions, to your problems, that you may prepare.

But you must prepare your organizations in joy, as we have said, with flowers. Place joy within your organization. Place laughter. The Lord is happiest when His children are laughing and are joyful. There are different types of laughter, remember that.

Awaken soul Ray from his time of his slumber.

[The Fifth Angel walks upon the earth. Now is the time of the Cherubim.]
