Globe, 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. Glory be the name of the Lord; glory be the name of His children, forever and ever.

And we shall say unto thee the parable of the healer.

And the healer was given unto the gift of eternal life, for all these that he treated remained young. And they came from the four corners of the Earth into the multitudes.

And one day the healer did die, and none could understand this.

And each spoke among the others, “What shall we do now that he is gone? How shall we remain young? How shall we go on?”

When the healer lived, the healer had spoken of many things, and all failed to hear him. He had given them the knowledge that he possessed, all of the knowledge, yet none heard.

And then there came word of another healer, and the people flocked unto that healer. This one was a false man, and he did strip them of their money and flee. And woe unto them, they said, “For God has forsaken us. He has taken from us the healer.” And then came word of another healer, and they all flocked unto this place, and once again he did strip those who had money and did flee.

Some of the healer’s disciples did return back into the ground where they had laid him at rest, and were pondering and pondering what they should do, when there before them stood the healer. And he said unto them, “Of all things I have given you, and of all things I have said unto you, have you grasped none of this? Are you so shallow that I cannot pass on to my Father lest you dig up by bones?”

And all of them stood in astonishment, for he, as they said, was a true healer, for he had returned unto them. And all of them said, “Oh, heal us, Master.”

And he looked upon them, and he said unto them, “I have given you countless ways and teachings, and you heard me not. Do not ask of me, but ask of God what you should do.” And the healer walked on.

And as he was walking, a young man walked up to him and said, “I know it is too late for me to learn, but I was not here. How shall then I learn of the things you have brought unto the Earth?”

And the healer said, “Go unto the scripts, unto the men who wrote those words that I said, and place them down, and study unto them. Come back unto my grave on another day, and we shall speak.”

The young man left. And he did study all the readings and all the words that were spoken. And he came back unto the grave, and there stood the healer.

And the people had begun to grow a great shrine around the healer’s grave, for this was now sacred ground unto them. And he said unto the healer, “What should I do now?”

And the healer said, “Go forth and seek the knowledge of other men, other healers who heal of different ways, but who heal in truth.”

And he did do of such.

And the healer said unto him, “Then go forth and plant thirteen roses upon my grave. And each time you plant them, pick up some of the earth and take them back into your own home and plant thirteen roses there.”

When this was accomplished the young man was totally puzzled, And he said unto the healer, “Why have you had me place these roses here?”

The healer laughed and said, “I enjoy roses. Do you not?”

The young man said, “Yes, but why did you have me place them here?”

The healer said unto him, “You see, I also did not have time before my departure to prepare my burying place in a manner which I would like to come back and see it.”

The young man then began to learn that within all of us was a part of the healer. And he also learned, as he began to heal others, to take time for himself, so that he too might not wind up in an early grave.

And he did set up classes, and students, and began to teach one day out of each seven. And those that came came from far and wide. And he too made them plant thirteen roses, that they may not forget.

And we say unto you, we have given you the cup; we have given you the wine; we have given you the bread. Now plant the roses for us.
