“This is a philosophy”

Ray Elkins began talking before he went into trance June 1, 1974, at his home in Globe, Arizona. The tape recorded message began with these words, as Ray was describing the coming of the spiritual messengers of God, Aka, in early April 1970.

…She asked, why did they come? And the answer came back that they had not come to that person, they had come that -- “my flock.” I looked up when I woke up and there were two people in it. And I don’t think anybody laughed any louder than I did. I thought, what?

Well, this organization is designed, not as a religion; each of you here belong to you own religions, and this is as it should be. This is a philosophy. If you can take any part of it and add it to that that you already have, then you’ve grown from it.

And it’s not up to one person to say, “This is the way, the full meaning of each reading.” I think that it’s up to each individual in their own individual way, upon hearing the reading, they interpret it themselves to fit their own needs. And they take the philosophy into their own lives and put it to use. And this is way I wanted it to be. I think maybe this is the way God wanted it to be.

And, I can’t express my gratitude – not because, the one thing I never wanted to do is become widely known for anything – but my gratitude, I’d like to express it in this way, that the philosophy that is good will last. And my gratitude is to the people who have made it last, to the people who have taken the work, or the readings, and shared it with so many others.

As all of you know, we don’t advertise. We don’t solicit. Everything has gone by word of mouth, one into another. And it’s grown, sometimes I think beyond anything I ever thought it would. But the main place that I’ve seen the growth is in the people who’ve done the work -- their growth, and the growth I’ve seen in other people who, who just shared in their work.

You know, work is a word we consider as a hard thing. There are many types of work. But a labor of love has no price. It’s something that cannot be bought nor sold.

That’s all I have to say.

After speaking, Ray leaned back in his recliner with his head to the east and went into trance, climbing up a stairway to stand with God.
