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
and in this way. Glory be the name of the Lord. Glory be the name of His
children, forever and ever.
And we shall unto thee, for we shall say unto thee these
words.
For
there was the past, the present, and the future. For in the time of the one
known as Jesus of Nazara, he brought unto him three disciples -- one, Judas
Iscariot; the second, Peter, the fisherman; the third, John, or as you would
know him in later times, John the Beloved. Now, we say unto you, each was to
shape the Earth in a different way.
To
most of you, you think of Judas as the most horrible person, or persons that
could have lived. And we say unto you, nay. Misunderstood, would be the word.
For Judas did bring about the prophecies of Jesus, and Peter, and John. And he
did so in this manner. When Jesus said unto him, “Go, and do that which you
must,” Jesus knew when he said to the
others, “Destroy this temple, and I shall rebuild it in three days,” for he
knew the time had come when this task would be given unto him. Judas went, therefore, and brought forth those of
the Judean temple, and the Romans. And, therefore, they did arrest him. Before
this happened he had asked his apostles to stay awake with him. He had gone
into prayer. He had asked God to take this bitter cup from him, for he, as you,
and all of us, knew life was a dear and beautiful thing unto him. He had lived
it to its fullest, enjoyed each ounce of it, and each breath of it. He did not
want it to end, yet he knew it must. Yet with the end would be the beginning. And
therefore, far from being the worst of humans, Judas stood blessed, for he
brought forth a task, which God, in His mighty plan for all things, to bring
into completeness.
Peter, when Jesus told him, “You shall deny me
three times before the cock crows,” and he said, “Nay, master” -- and with all
his teachings, and all that Jesus had taught unto him, when the soldiers came
for Jesus, Peter drew a sword, and cut from one an ear. And Jesus stopped him,
and healed the ear. And he said unto Peter, “Upon this rock I shall build [the]
church.” And most thought it would be a mighty church, a great construction.
Here once again, Peter, much as Judas, had misinterpreted Jesus’ words, for it
was not a great building he desired, but only the temple within man’s heart.
And then there was John, John who stood beneath the
cross; John who felt the drops of blood strike upon his forehead; John who
received a final baptism, and then stole away, still not knowing what to do.
Judas was to take his own life. John and Peter, the
present and the future, were to meet, and later to meet Jesus as he brought
forth into a new form of flesh a complete resurrection. And at that time, both,
Jesus said unto them, “This is the way. I have shown you that you too may rise,
that you too can be born again, that you too may wash away your own sins with
rebirth.”
Peter went on from that day with a great burden upon his
chest. He had denied the beloved Jesus. And when the final time came that they
would crucify him, his only request was that he would be crucified upside down,
for he carried a burden as strong, laden with guilt within himself, as Judas.
Yet there was no burden. All things were as they should be.
John was to give unto you the book of Revelations -- and that was to be your
future. Yet, John, blaming himself, drove himself beyond all thought and
endurance, and was to die.
Each
of you, within yourself, contain Judas, and Peter, and John. Each of you wish
to carry burdens that do not belong to you. Each of you would carry guilts,
that does not belong to you. And each of you, [there’s] the past, the present
and the future.
Yet,
within all things Jesus taught was of the simplest of things, to love one
another. He did not blame Judas for that which he would. He did not curse
Judas. He did not make Judas to commit suicide. He did not lay burden of guilt
upon him. He did not place guilt that Peter carried to his grave. Nor did he
place into John that that would destroy him. All that he asked of these
disciples was that they love one another, and that they should give unto God,
thy Lord, a way for all men to understand one another.
The
rock was the rock of the soul, the spirit; it was of the immortal body, that
which would enter into the womb of the mother and should come forth into the
form of both man and woman, and the choice to be made to enter this Earth of
yours to build quite slowly better understanding among you.
Most of you think that that of reincarnation, or rebirth,
must be at death; you are wrong. Rebirth can come at any moment within one
single lifetime, and become many times during one single lifetime. Yet it may
come in the manner in which you seek. You may come back from the womb [of] the woman
by your own free choice -- not necessarily because you had something to learn,
but because you had something to give to your fellow man.
There
are many of you here this night who have gifts that you may give to one
another. They are not a material thing. They are the most beautiful of things,
of all things -- this word you use so often, yet know not the meaning of, the
simple word of love.
You store food out of fear, fear that you shall be found
without food. This is not wrong, because within it you have also stored hope
for a new future. You look around and all about you, and wonder which land
shall not be laid [to] waste, which land to stand upon, which land shall be
safe unto you. And you say unto yourself, “It is important that I go unto the
safer land. It is important that I touch the prophet and touch his mind.” There’s
nothing wrong with this.
There
is nothing wrong with any of you. You cannot see your own growth because you
are constantly measuring your growth by those around you. But we say unto you,
neither can a tree see its growth. For much as it sees a tree on a high hilltop
and thinks it has more growth, this is not so.
We
say unto you that when Jesus spoke and said unto the woman who had given three
pennies, “She has given more than all others,” because that’s what she had to
give, God does not require great sacrifices unto Him -- nor does your Jesus,
nor Buddha, nor Muhammad, nor Ishmael. No, none of these things are required.
God wants His children to be happy, and when your hearts ring with laughter, so
does God’s.
We have given you food for thought, the thought that all
of you here have goodness, and joy, and hope and faith within your hearts.
There
are [thorns] and times bound into your lives that you are condemning yourself
for. It only take you to forgive yourself. If you will do this, surely your
Father has already forgiven you, for He loves you. And surely, if you can
forgive yourself, so can your neighbor forgive you.
Cast
aside these things that offend you. Do no carry a cloak of guilt, or jealousy,
for they are not needed, for they are not the true measure of the love you have
for God. The true measure of what you have for God is in your hearts -- in your
brain, in that storage house of your own Akashic records, [where] all things
you have been are stored. We say unto you, it is only important to know where
you have been that it may assist you to know where you are going.
Take these words into each of your hearts. If they fit
and they may do you some good, then take them home with you. Understand them,
and use them in your daily lives. For we do not have worldly riches to give
you, we have only to give you the needs that are necessary to carry out this work.
If
we had within us all the worldly goods, you already have them, for anything
that you ask for in our Father’s name shall
be given. Ask.
Be
careful what you ask for, that you should [know] in full what the gift shall
be. Judas, Judas of [incarnate] [Iscariot], asked that he might be the deliverer.
It was given unto him. He thought that by forcing the hand of Jesus, by
betraying him, that Jesus would rise up and be the king of Israel. It was not
of this kingdom, of an earthly kingdom, that Jesus wished for. And when he
realized this, the guilt within him could not live with it. Yet it lives on and
on and on forever. Peter, when he denied him, could not live with this, and so
it lives on and on forever. John, when he did nothing to save his master, and did
not fulfill the last words that Jesus asked when he said unto John, “John, this
is your mother; Mother, this is your son,” John did not fulfill that; he did
not take Jesus’ mother into his house to care for her. And so, he carried his
own guilt.
We hope this time we have not spoken as riddles, that you
may take all these things within you, this day, and cast them aside, and start
anew. Look at your feet and see the flowers that God has given you. Look around
you, and all the worldly possessions you want are there, and more than you
need. Be as [the] light. Be as the beacon upon the hill, the psychic beacon,
that of the soul that lights up the world. Let us go forth and prepare the way
for his coming.
You have many questions, ask.
“Yes, Aka. I
have a question from [9-360-1], and she asks, ‘In the reading of June 13, 1973,
you referred to a soul who left his body due to a mental disease. Upon leaving
the body, a lost soul possessed it. Is there any connection with this problem
and the problem of my uncle? Is there anything we can do to help these
people?’”
Yes -- the
person, and we shall explain. The mental disease which possesses a body is like
a death. When the soul and the spirit can no longer function within the body,
it leaves to join the immortal body. Therefore, it has no use for it. The
spirit, who has lost his soul and his immortal body, which comes into this
body, gains nothing, and can do no harm except those who would allow it, and
would leave it by simply, if you ignored it. [Give prayer] into the Lord of thy
intent. And know that nothing falls on this earth, leste the Lord should know
of it.
And
fear not. Do you think that the Lord should allow one of His children to wander
lost without making an attempt to bring it home? We say unto you, nay. The Lord
has gathered His flock, and your uncle among them.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you,
Aka. [13-442-1] asks, ‘Due to the rising cost of travel and the far distance of
some of the Association members, would you comment on having parallel services
for renewal of vows, only, annually.’”
We have said
before, and we shall say again, if the vows mean anything to you, you shall
come forth and receive them. And we shall say unto this one, if the Lord
provides the bread and the wine, can not you provide yourself?
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you,
Aka. I have a question from [13-442-2]. He says, ‘We now live in El Paso. I’ve
had the feeling that we may be leaving El Paso sometime in 1981. If so, where?
In what way can we be the most help in the future years?’”
A way should
be provided, and it is already in the making. What you think is lost is not
lost. That which you ask in your Father’s name shall be given, and the way to
do that which you wish shall be given also. Fear not. For you have asked in
your Father’s name that you should not walk alone. And those that are needed
from both sides have been provided unto you -- the place, the time, and that
which you need to do with.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you,
Aka. I have a questions from [13-442-3] asks, ‘Am I going to be involved with
working with women in the future, or is this a fantasy dream?’”
No. We shall
answer your question in this manner. A way has already been provided, that the
fulfillment of this should be made. There are other things that shall come
forth. Look into the first and last of the parable that we gave you tonight,
and you shall see the fullness of the answer.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you,
Aka. L____ M____ B_____...Albuquerque, New Mexico, asks, ‘Am I going to be
involved in working with women in the future, or is this a fantasy dream?’”
No. We shall answer your
question in this manner. A way has already been provided, that the fulfillment
of this should be made. There are other things that shall come forth. Look into
the first and the last of the parable we gave you tonight, and you shall see
the fullness of the answer.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank
you, Aka. I have a question from [13-442-4…Albuquerque, New Mexico]. ‘Will I do
any literary writing or become involved in golf as a profession in this
lifetime?’”
Nay. But you
shall do a great deal of writing where you are.
Glory
be the name of the Lord.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you,
Aka. I have a question from [12-412-3…El Paso, Texas]. ‘Will we recover the loot
taken after my father’s death and how soon will we finish settling the
estate?’”
We shall
answer your question in this manner. All things that were taken will never be
returned. You shall settle the estate very soon, and that which has been
removed shall be placed in front of you, that should you want to use it, it
shall be made available.
We
say unto you unto these words. There are greater things before you than you
have ever dreamed, and tasks to be done.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you,
Aka. I have a question from [13-442-5...Albuquerque, New Mexico]. ‘Should I
continue in the work I am in now?’”
Yes, we see
thy need, and we shall answer your question in this manner. Yes. But soon,
there shall be new and different [challenges] be placed before you.
We
shall answer your question in full. If God brought forth and handed into your
keeping a sacred tablet, and He said unto you, “EACH DAY, TAKE THE TABLET FORTH
AND SHOW IT TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD WISH TO SEE IT; CLEAN IT AND KEEP IT
SAFE,” and you would do so, this is like the job of the work you are doing
right now. You are performing the work in a Godly manner, and therefore, the
task and the task[s] brought forth, and the gift of God. But if also God said
to you, “I SHALL GIVE ANOTHER GREATER TABLET,” would you throw the first tablet
aside, or would you wait until God was ready to hand you the second? Think upon
these words, for they have a great deal to do with your life at this time.
You have other questions, ask.
“I have a
question from [13-442-6...California], ‘Will I be successful in my new
business?’”
We shall
answer your question in this manner. As a pendulum swings two ways, so may be
the success of your business if you put that into it which it deserves. At the
present time all is in readiness for this success that you ask[ed] for. As we
have said before, that that you should ask in your Father’s name shall be
given.
Now we should say unto you, soul Ray grows very weary.
Our time grows short.
And
therefore, we say unto you, harken unto our words, for all around you new
beginnings are taking place. All around you God is sprinkling His gifts before
you.
We
say unto you, give forth the blessings unto the Lord, thy God. But we also say unto
you, take time from your daily lives to give prayer that the instrument, or the
prophet which we have given unto you, should endure these times which lay
ahead.
Now is the time of the Cherubim.
Awaken soul Ray from his slumber.
