Globe,
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
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,
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
We have said unto you,
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.

is the time of the Cherubim.]
