Aka is here.

“Good evening, Aka. Where is soul Ray?”

Soul Ray stands with God.

Yes, we see thy need. And we should say to thee into this manner. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God. Glory be the name of Your children, forever and ever.

And we should say unto thee this parable in this way. For long ago in the land that you now call Yucatan, there flourished a great civilization with many wonders. But there was one who lived away from all these wonders. He did not use the electric lights, nor did he fly in the airplanes he saw in the heavens as they passed above him, nor did he travel in the automobile. Instead he used his animals to farm his land. It was not that this one wanted to shun people. It was only that he had his own way of life and wished to live it.

One day, as he traveled on his horse, he met a young woman traveling upon a horse. And they fell deeply in love. And she greatly admired his wisdom and respected his ways. And they were wed. And they went unto his home to live. And soon she complained that she did not have electrical appliances. She complained that she did not have a hospital nearby to have her children in. She complained that she could not ride the horses. For all the things that she had seen within the man now were a burden upon her.

Yet the man’s love was great. And so, he deserted his way and took her, therefore, into the city. And even there, because he was a farmer, the jobs he was able to have were meager jobs, yet long laboring jobs. He did them and did not complain.

And they had many children, and the children grew up, and still his wife complained. She complained if she had bread and it was not as good as the neighbors’. She complained if she had cloth and it was not as good as the neighbors’.

One day, when the last child reached maturity, the man went unto her and said, “I leave now to go back from where I came, for I do not fit into this world, and I do not want to die here.”

She went out unto her neighbors and she said, “Oh, woe is me, my husband has deserted me.”

And she went unto the local priest to complain. And the priest said unto her, “Your husband has returned from where he came. When you met your husband he was a farmer, and a good farmer, yet you were not satisfied with this way of life. And you knew of that which he did before you married him. To satisfy you he became the lowest of things in the city, and hated every moment of it. His life became a living hell to give you the things you desired, yet still you have not learned from it. You say he has deserted you. And I say unto you that you deserted him long ago.”

She could not understand this. And she went unto the farmer as he went about his tasks. And she said unto him, “Take me back, for I have wronged you.”

And he said, “If you wish to stay, stay; if you wish to go, go. But that that we had long ago has died and withered upon the vine.”

She said unto him, “I have no place to go, so therefore, I shall stay here.”

As she stayed, she found the simplicity within his life. She found that she lacked for nothing. The food was better than she had had in all these years. And as the children came and visited, all of them wanted to stay. And all of them wanted to bring their children that they might have a better way.

One day, because of the long labor [on the] man, he went unto the small altar that he had prepared for himself and he died praying unto his Lord.

Now his sons and daughters, therefore, knew that he had gone to make a place for himself, and they went to see that things were properly done. And they made offerings unto the Lord.

The woman came and saw, for all of his children were seeking his way. And she said, “Oh, Lord, why is it that in this late time in my life can I see a truth? Why could I not enjoy all those years of goodness which You gave unto me? Why did I cast them aside?”

And the Lord answered unto her and said, “Only through the eyes of the beholder may you see.”

Now we have told you a parable. And we say unto you, look unto the depth of it, and you shall find peace. If you cannot find the answer within it, you shall not.

You have questions, ask.

One moment, please.

Yes.

We should say unto thee, that new earthquakes in your northern hemisphere shall awaken. And the lines of fire shall continue. As they shall occur, so shall new earthquakes occur.

But we say unto you, beware of the winds of March, for they shall be worse than [of] all the winds you [have] had up to now. Prepare thee thy homes and thy shelters for thy animals. Prepare thee of wood that thy homes may be kept warm; bring forth oil lamps unto thy homes, for there is no place that you may go to escape this.
