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, thy God. Glory be the name of His children, forever and ever.

And we should say unto thee this parable.

For as the Seven Angels came forth to begin work in the creation of the earth and the heavens, they had worked long and diligently on each plan, working together to make a whole. And one by one they looked upon the land they were working upon, and each at the same moment decided to create a rose, a natural rose that would grow in that area. One thought of a yellow rose, another a pink, another a red. Each one chose a different color, or shade of color. And each one thought that their color was the best.

They went before the Lord, God, and each one presented his case, why his rose would be the best.

And the Lord, thy God, answered back into them, “WHEN I SENT YOU FORTH TO GROW THE FIELDS AND BRING BACK THE HARVEST, IT TOOK DAYS, YEARS, AND MANY YEARS BEFORE YOU LEARNED TO WORK TOGETHER, AS ONE. AND THEN I CAST YOU AFLOAT, EACH UPON YOUR BOAT, THAT YOU MIGHT RETURN BACK UNTO ME AND TELL ME WHAT YOU HAD FOUND. ONE HAD RETURNED BACK TO GO NOWHERE AND HAD ONLY FOUND FEAR. THE OTHER HAD RETURNED WITH HOPE AND FAITH. AND FINALLY, ONE OF YOU RETURNED BACK TO SAY YOU HAD FOUND ETERNITY.

‘NOW WHAT DO YOU FIND WITH THE ROSES EACH OF YOU HAVE THOUGHT TO PLANT UPON THIS EARTH? YOU WISH ME TO CHOOSE BETWEEN YOU, AND I SHALL NOT. YOU MUST MAKE THIS DECISION.”

So the Seven Angels returned back to the earth, and they said to themselves, “Since we have created man, and he is upon the earth, and is now multiplying and spreading, why should we not let him choose which is the best?”

And so each of them rushed to the earth, and the different parts of the earth, to place their plant, their rose, upon the earth. And they watched man.

At first, in finding the roses, man was overjoyed at all the colors. And as gradually they found there were other colors man became even more overjoyed. And soon man began making hybrids and making even more beautiful roses.

The Seven Angels went back to God, and said, “Lord God, we have placed the roses upon the land, and we left the choice up to mankind. And mankind chose them all. But more than that, Lord, they have even changed that that we gave them.”

The Lord, God, looked upon them, and said unto them, “FOR DID NOT MAN BE CREATED IN OUR IMAGE, OF OUR KIND, OUR LIKENESS?”

The Seven Angels went back to observe man. And soon man was planting gardens, and making greater designs of their plants. They grew on the hills and in the valleys, and even in the desert. Man found ways into which to survive, replenish the earth.

And each one of the angels said, “Yes, now we see what God spoke of, for in them are the hope. There is lust in them, yet it is a healthy lust. There is hate in them, and yet, at times it is a healthy hate. There is anger in them, and yet. at time[s] it is a healthy anger. Why could we not see these things before this? There is love in them and compassion. Yet there are those who would kill one another. And yet, there [are] those who would murder one another. And there are those who would enslave one another with their thoughts, and with their chains.”

They went back to the Lord, God, for as man progressed, both the good and the bad progressed within him, for both Cain and Abel lived from the moment of creation. And they asked the Lord God, “Who gave them the roses -- each of us, though we disagreed in a color, but all for the same reason.”

And the Lord, God, said unto them, “YOU GAVE THEM THE ROSES, AND THEY HAD NO THORNS. MAN CREATED THE THORNS. YET, LOOK BENEATH THE THORN AND YOU SHALL SEE THE STEM OF LIFE. LOOK BENEATH THE ROUGHNESS, AND YOU SHALL FIND GENTLENESS. FOR WITHIN THESE, MY CHILDREN, WHO I HAVE GIVEN FREE CHOICE, THEIR FREE CHOICE TO RETURN UNTO ME, OR NOT TO RETURN UNTO TO ME -- TO GIVE THE LOVE I HAVE GIVEN THEM, OR NOT TO GIVE THE LOVE -- TO PLACE UPON THEIR SOULS, THEIR SPIRIT, THE IMMORTAL BODY. BUT UNLESS CAIN AND ABEL BOTH HAD BEEN WITHIN THEM, THEY COULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED. IT TOOK BOTH PARTS OF MAN, THE TOTALLY GOOD, AND THE HALFWAY EVIL, AS YOU WOULD KNOW IT.”

“Yet, Cain murdered his brother, and You slew him not.”

And the Lord spoke back unto them, “WATCH AND YOU SHALL SEE. LOOK THERE, THERE IS ONE MAN WAITING TO MURDER ANOTHER.”

And the angel said, “Well, why do you not stop this?”

And the Lord, God, said, “FOR I HAVE GIVEN THEM FREE WILL. AND I DID NOT DESTROY CAIN, BECAUSE THE CAIN WITHIN THEM THEY MUST DESTROY THEMSELVES -- AND NOT DESTROY IT, BUT TO TAKE THIS ENERGY THAT IT TOOK TO COMMIT MURDER AND CHANGE IT INTO ENERGY OF LOVE. TO CREATE, TO BUILD, TO ALTER THE FORMS OF THE EARTH INTO THEIR LIKING, [OF] THEIR KIND -- TO GROW TO MATURE, AND TO ONE DAY COME BACK UNTO WHERE THEY BEGAN, UNTO ‘OUR LIKENESS, OF OUR KIND, AND IT WAS GOOD.’”

Now we have given you a parable, one unto which you, at this moment, do not fully understand the meaning of.

When the Ten Commandments were given to you, you altered and you changed them to suit yourselves. What we are showing you, God does not condemn you when you alter the form of earth, when you reach into the heavens and make the alterations there. He does condemn you when you destroy or murder anything. It is one thing to protect yourselves. It is another to bear false witness against thy brethren, or to steal from another.

It is but another to worship other gods than the Lord, thy God, thy one God. We have told you the Lord does not wish the blood of the Lamb. He does not wish that you worship images of any kind -- any graven images. Therefore, we say unto you, let thy hear the words of the Lord.

Let them come in a truthful manner. Do not alter His words or change them.

Give the Lord the right that He has given you. He has given you the right to choose your own destinies. Your freedom of choice to live, to die, to love, to hate, to cry, to laugh, all these things He has laid at your feet. It is your choice. But take not from the Lord His choice. When He gave unto you the Ten Commandments, He did not place them in such a way that you should judge one another. They were not Laws for you to judge another person with. He gave to you His commandments, and He said, “FOR ALL WHO SHOULD KEEP THEM HOLY.” He did not instruct you and say, “Worship Me in this way or that.” He did not bring judgment into your house.

Now we say unto you, for those of you who should hear these words, and who have built your houses of the Lord, and have these places you wish to go to, we are not here to change this. We are not here to take you from your churches. We are not here to change your religion, or your thought on religions. We are here but for one purpose, the preparation for the coming of the Messiah.

It makes little difference to us if your religion is pink or blue, or any other color, as long as it becomes a part of the preparation. It makes the Lord little difference if you have chosen a great cathedral or a small house as your church. It is but a meeting place, a place that you come that you may share your belief with God, and about God.

You, who have gathered about now, it is becoming time when a place of meeting shall be necessary. We have given you this parable in its form, that you might use the same judgment in building this.

But tomorrow you will come forth to praise God and to praise the work of those who have done God’s work. [Note: The 10^th Annual Meeting of the Association of Universal Philosophy was June 6, 1981, in Globe, Arizona, for the renewal of a covenant between God and the minister’s, teachers as they made vows.]

Let this place be hallowed ground, let no man, nor woman, bring any thing within it except the love due and respect due to it. For as you have made this place a holy place, let the thought that sets with you now go with you tomorrow -- and we shall be there, and the Lord, God, shall be there, not to judge you, but to applaud you. If you can see these things within yourselves, then we have grown a long way in the preparation [of] the coming of the Messiah.

If you must bring the part of Cain with you, let it be changed into a constructive part. Remember, the Lord, God, did not destroy Cain, but He forbade all mankind from destroying him, or his descendants.

Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God.

Thy have come here with many, many questions. Into each of you we have answered these questions this night. Some of you will not think so.

Some of you will not even remember we have spoken -- and when asked afterward what was said, you’ll say, “Yes, I was there. But I do not remember.” To remember means you have accepted what has been said, that it was important enough, not only that you be here, but that you brought your brains also.

Now is the time of the Cherubim. The Fifth Angel walks upon your earth. As you have noted, that your weather and climatic changes are taking place more rapidly upon your earth. So will the earth changes, now, be more rapid.

There has been the rattlings of war -- the land of Lybia, and the land of Israel. And we say to you, the Bear [Russia] now is ready to strike. But so is the earth ready to strike. That that they have placed within the earth shall come forth and consume them. If the Bear continues its way, the war of Armageddon is but a short way, and a short distance from you now. Bind together in your thoughts, and you may alter the pathway of the earth.

You have within you many questions, and they shall be answered at a different time.

Awaken soul Ray from his slumber.
