The Valley and Promise of a Christmas Star — Part 4 of 5 (spoken from 1986 to 1987 by the spiritual messengers of God, Aka)

For in the final analysis of all things there is love, the love that the Father has for His children, a total and complete and unselfish love.

To know of this is to know the answers of the secret places and to know the great secrets of all time. (Spiritual messengers of God, February 19, 1988)

The first of four Corn Ceremonies is given August 16–17, 1987, during a “harmonic convergence” of planets, and some take a step into the new world. During the hours Aka gives, the prophet or Eagle, opens a gateway into the new heaven and new earth within a sacred circle upon the Earth at a church to God on Dripping Springs Road, Arizona.

November 4, 1988, the spiritual messengers of God, Aka, say: As the time has come from the great Corn ceremonies until now, when the door opens again, those who pass through, much as in Noah’s ark, are entering and preparing themselves for this other day. They are preparing for the coming of the Messiah and for the world after. But as it is now, there will be many who shall not, and cannot, and will perish, not just from this Earth.

When the last gateway to the worlds have been closed, the end of the fourth year, the pathway will be laid before you.

If you could bring about this in whole, those things that are needed will be provided. But unto your heart and soul is the words of God. You have seen them written in many places. You will find them in abundance in what you call your reading form. Study these, all. And we shall come again unto you. Ask and you shall receive.

The spiritual messengers of God, Aka, begin the new year, 1986, with a parable from the “readings,” to help prepare a way within hearts and minds for the coming of the Messiah.

January 23, 1986, they say: Yes we see thy need, and we should answer in this manner and in this way. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God; glory to the name of His children, forever.

And we should say unto you this parable in this manner and in this way.

For once there was a large valley, and those that came to the valley to live were all related. And the head of the family was an elderly man known far and wide for his great wisdom.

And so, he drew lots and laid them aside, assigned them so that the land could be picked for each of the families to farm and to graze the cattle.

Is the parable of a large valley a teaching for those who live beneath the Dripping Springs Mountains, or is it about another valley? People are similar wherever they live.

And as the years passed, it prospered. And as it prospered, they began to quarrel, each one into another. And the heads of each of their groups would come forth to this wise man and say unto him, “This person is doing this to me and unto my family.”

He listened to each one patiently, and to each one he would say these words, and it was to see the larger picture. Yet, they understood him not.

Finally, the wise man, the head of the families, sent forth the messengers to all the heads of the house to be present at one time. And he said unto them, “I have told you to see the larger part of the picture. Why is it you can not?”

One man got up and said, “But what is the larger part of the picture? What is it that we were to see, that we do not see?”

And he looked at them. He said, “For some of you here, the bigger part of the picture––the larger part that shall happen that is that in the picture–– shall only be what you have today, for you will not stop squabbling, you will continue to bicker for small tidbits. But for those who can see the larger part, that is what they shall have. For as they work and gain and grow together, you shall become a great empire and a great nation, but you shall only do this if you grow spiritually and mentally and physically, and only by knowing that you shall be a nation under God. If you forget this, then you have forgotten yourself and the reason you have come to this valley.”

A church was dedicated to God in 1982 on what was then called, Christmas Star route. The bell on top is to ring out the freedom of religion upon the land.

Time did pass. And as he had said, there were those who never became the larger part because all they could do would be bicker. And soon they lost their lands. And they did become poor workers of the others. And even then they bickered.

And then, soon families that had prospered, they came forth and said, “We’d like to leave our land in such a manner that our servants should gain from it; yet, the land should always be ours.”

And so the wise man said unto them, “Do so, but let those who would serve this household and your family give tithings each year, the same that they would pay rent.”

Dripping Springs valley lies far below.

And so, they all came together once again, those who had gone away and the others families. And it was written up that those who had owned the land, who had lived with one another, gave tithings unto them.

As time passed, the tithings gained, and the owners came back.

And those who had had the land said, “You have no land; this is our land.”

And they said, “No, we have this paper. Then we shall take it to the head of the households.”

And they said, “We recognize the head of the household not.”

The head of the household, when they recognized him not, and would not recognize the paper, did call upon the wrath of God to smite them. And He did smite them three and 40 times before they knew the Lord, God, was He.

Now we have told you of the parable.

And the parable is as the nations are today. No one nation can support the world, unless the world is willing to support itself. No one nation can keep a third of the world from starving to death unless these people are willing to fend for themselves. It was written that these things would happen, that famine would strike a third of the Earth. And so it has come.

For you who say, “Where else has this began,” this has begun. It is all around you.

But we would also say unto you when a child in this nation, when you have not one child that goes to bed hungry at night, when you have not one child who needs your care, then, and only then, should you pick up another nation.

There will be those who say what we say and have said is wrong. But unless you strengthen your own nation and build your own foundation, the nation that you have built “under one God” shall fall.

January 31, 1986: Yes, we see thy need, and we should answer in this manner and in this way. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God; glory be the name of His children for ever and ever.

And we say unto you this parable in this manner and this way.

For there was a valley, and many had come unto the valley, for they had heard stories of its abundance. For there was food in the valley, and where there had been war among all the lands, in this valley there was peace.

And each day, one day passing into another, new arrivals did come. At first, there was no laws in the valley, only one, “Do unto others as you would wish them to do unto you.”

And a few people who owned the land in the valley allowed those who would come, and they farmed and they grew their crops. Yet, it became more bountiful, and as more came, more hands were there to toil more land.

Is this parable guidance for a possible future time? Looking west from a church to God was Ray’s 55-acre ranch, which was sold after he passed on in 2000. All around the valley on the Dripping Springs mountains were 20-acre mining claims that were made available to people who came who might not be able to afford a small plot of land Ray bladed on the mountain behind his ranch house for trailers or to buy a home in the valley. The church “parking lot” (the empty field below) could also park many recreational vehicles and be cultivated for planting food.

It came to pass that they decided they must come together and elect themselves leaders. And so they did do this, and they elected leaders.

And the leaders came unto the people who owned the land and said, “You shall split your land and share it with all these who have come. And for each new person who arrives, you shall give unto them ten acres of your land.”

The landowners then say, “Nay. We shall not do this.”

And they said, “Then you shall be in violation of the lands, and the law, and we shall take the land.”

The landowners said unto them, “We were kind enough to allow you to come and live on our land and farm. And it has become bountiful for all. Now you would take our land. So leave our valley, you and all those like you.”

They were taken aback, for they did not think in their wildest dreams that the landowners would take such a course of action. They went back and they held meeting after meeting. Some were in favor of killing the landowners and taking their land; others wanted them thrown out of the valley. While others saw the truth in what the landowners said and went to the landowners and said, “We were wrong. We would like permission to stay and work on the land.”

The landowners said, “Yes, you may work on the land and share in its bounty.”

Then one day those who had decided to be separate from the landowners did come forth and they would kill unto the lan­downers. But yet, when they saw so many had gathered in working the land they became fearful. And they said unto themselves, “We shall pretend that we are also to work the land with the landowners.” And so they went unto the landowners.

And the landowners said unto them, “You must wait unto three days and we shall go into thought and think of this thing which must be done.”

They went forth. And upon the mountain there was a great “7.”

And the “7” had always represented the Seven Spirits of the Lord, and there they had built a temple. They went into the temple and there they asked the Lord, God, for guidance, for they knew not what to do.

A large “7” made of rock clearly shows on the side of the mountain behind Ray’s ranch. It was not put there by human hands.

And there appeared unto them one. And he did say unto them, “Go back unto these people, for they come only to wait and bide their time to do you harm. But go back and tell them, ‘We shall write a contract with you, and in the contract you shall do share cropping. And any time that you do not do your share you shall lose all these interests that you shall have from this day forward. And you shall leave the valley or go to prison.’”

Upon these words he who had come left.

The landowners went back, and at the end of the third day they did meet with these people and say unto them those words that had been said unto them. There was much grumbling, but they had a scribe draw up the agreement, and it was witnessed by all.

As the days passed those who had grumbled the most began to benefit more and more each day. Yet they still wanted to overthrow that that was benefiting them the most.

The landowners learned that they were plotting their death once again, and they went unto them, and they brought out the agreement, and they said, “You have violated the agreement, for in the agreement you appeared you would not plot further against us in any way fashioned. And you have done so; now leave the land!” And they cast them out.

And those who were cast out went back into the land of war, and famine, and all these things.

And they went about and told, “Do not enter that valley, for that is the evilest of all valleys.”

Now we say unto you, even though these people went about speaking badly of the people who had helped them the most, because they slowed the migration of the many into the valley they had done them a favor, one that they themselves, the lan­downers, could not see.

But we say unto you, if a gift is given unto you, and you think it has come from an enemy, accept the gift [ingratiate] and with poise. Do not be as that of the person who you dislike. Be greater than they, and by being greater than they, you shall rise above even their pettiness….[Note: ingratiate is from the early 17th century: from Latin in gratiam ‘into favor’.]

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [13–431–1], ‘Why and whom has been breaking into the church and to our home, and what do they try to bring forth?’”

We shall answer your question in this manner. There are those who seek records from the church that were moved there. That should fully answer your question.

The ones who broke into the home were those who sought comforts. I think I would look into a way that the fullness of the question could be answered in such a manner that those who stand and are not involved should not suffer, for they have become your watchers and your eyes. Allow this to happen.

February 14, 1986: And now we should say unto thee this parable, in this manner and in this way. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God; glory be the name of His children, forever and ever.

For there are many who should travel into many parts of the land. There are those who shall venture forth just to find new land, to feel the soil and know it, to see the mountains and the prairies. Yet, there are those who go with a purpose, for they have reached a decision that they must change their whole surroundings and leave all that that they have known before behind; they must do this to become successful. There are those who have had grief and turmoil where they have lived and they shall leave the land in which they dwell; yet they know not that the one thing they take with them is their selves. Yet it is good for people to look forward to moving.

And so, we shall tell you a story about one who moved. And he bought a fine house. There were certain cracks in the house and he went to fix the house. And he chipped away and chipped away until the upper part of the house fell. And he chipped away until the foundation was no more. And he had no house.

His neighbor looked upon him and said, “Why have you done this? Why have you destroyed the whole house to repair a crack?”

And the one who was there to repair the crack said, “It is not my fault. It is the fault of the person who owned the house before me, that he neglected this crack and it became worse and worse and I had to go clear to the foundation to correct it.”

The neighbor who lived on another side of him said, “Why did you destroy such a beautiful house, just to correct a crack?”

And he said, “Surely I shall sue the builder of the house, for it was his fault, because that when I went to correct the crack the whole building fell down.”

As each person asked, he had a different answer. He never looked into himself to see the problem. And the problem was himself, his obsession with flaws in anything. He could not leave the smallest imperfection, and so therefore, he destroyed all that was before him.

This, in itself, is a common thing in your society − blaming others for your own faults − looking at an imperfection and saying, “This must be corrected.”

There is a tower that leans. It was not built that way, but through natural happenings it leans. It has become very popular because it does so. There are places on your Earth where fine columns hold huge bulges and they stand forever. These were all parts of God’s making.

If the Lord, God, put imperfection into the Earth itself, and was happy with it, and found it good, what is it that these people would tear the house down to fix a crack? What is it that they want?

When someone comes to you for counseling and says unto you, “You have all of these problems and they are yours,” are they yours, or theirs? Look upon it, and make such a decision in such a way.

But also, know these things. If a person is sick and you try to help them, and mend them, and allow them to get well, and they refuse this, then that is their way. What they wish to be is sick, not well. They look out at all the rest of the world and they say, “The rest of the world is sick. I am well.”

And they say unto you, “I saw our neighbor and I told them this or I told them that,” and within reality, once this person sees the neighbor they talk about you. Is not this type of person to be pitied? But what should you do with a person like this? Should you allow them to continue to fornicate and spread a lie as truth? What can you really do to stop someone like this?

Sometimes if a river is running unruly and you have done all you can to stop the course and to alter the course, is it not better to wait until the season is no longer in full storm before you alter the course? Allow it to run out. Then alter the course in its weaker state. It will take less effort upon your part.

We have given you question and answers. But understand this, there are many truths and half truths. And many truths that can be made to look as a truth when they are not…

“Thank you, Aka. Aka, would you please explain the comet that is due at the end of February? It comes in conjunction with two other planets, and what disasters it will bring?”

One comet that came shortly after February was Halley’s Comet, a short-period comet visible from Earth every 74–79 years. Halley is the only known short-period comet that is regularly visible to the naked eye from Earth, and the only naked-eye comet that might appear twice in a human lifetime. Halley last appeared in the inner parts of the Solar System in 1986 and will next appear in mid-2061, This photo of Comet 1P/Halley was taken March 8, 1986 by W. Liller, Easter Island, part of the International Halley Watch (IHW) Large Scale Phenomena Network. But Aka was not speaking of Halley’s Comet, but of another comet that came in 1972.

Yes, we see thy need. And we shall answer your question in this manner. The disasters you refer to is great famine, and drought, and milk drying up in mothers’ breasts. This is already happening in parts of your Earth today. This did not begin just one day ago. This has been going on since 1972. The comet that came in 1972 is the same comet that shall return − the planet, Yahweh. It shall come in conjunction, and therefore, there are probabilities that the droughts that you have known shall become more and wider spread.

Was Aka speaking of the better known C/1973 El (Kohoutek) in this photo, or of 75D/Kohoutek for which a photo was not found? 75D/Kohoutek is a short-period comet discovered in February 1975, by Lubos Kohoutek. Not to be confused with the much better-known C/1973 E1 (Kohoutek), 75D is a repeat visitor to the inner Solar System, with a period of about seven years. It was placed on the discovery orbit when it passed 0.143 AU (21,400,000 km; 13,300,000 mi) from Jupiter on July 28, 1972. Apparitions have been dim, with the brightest being in 1988 at about apparent magnitude 13. It was last predicted in 2014, but was not seen, nor was it seen in its previous approaches in 2007, in 2000, or in 1994. The comet has been estimated to be 4.6 kilometres (2.9 mi) in diameter. This comet was last observed by Mauna Kea on 19 May 1988. The Minor Planet Center has given the comet a “D/” designation as the comet is believed to be lost. The comet is calculated to come to opposition in October 2020 in the constellation of Pisces.

There once was a king who had dreams, and he looked long and hard for those who could interpret the dreams. Finally a slave was brought forth to interpret the dream. And the slave interpreted the dream that there would be seven good years and seven bad years, and if he took those things he had now and put them aside he would not suffer during the seven bad years. And so it came into reality.

The same thing bears fruit now. You have time to prepare food of many types. You have time to grow gardens and can from the gardens, and preserve food in abundance, before these things come about. For there shall be places that markets shall be full, but no one shall have the money to buy. If you already have that that you need at home, you will not need to buy.

Understand these things. Understand this famine may spread among you, but if you work as a whole, as a whole and part of a whole − if one man puts in a garden and he only has so many hours to put it in, and only so much is done, if many come together and make a joint garden and a schedule is laid out that each person has certain tasks to perform on certain days, then it will happen.

But there are other things to take into consideration. Jonah came forth into the city and said, “Change your ways.” We have come forth unto you and said, “Turn around.”

A temple was built, yet it lies empty. Is the world so full of spiritual need that it needs not one temple?

A church to God in 2017

We have answered your question.

May 2, 1986: Yes, we see thy need. We shall answer in this manner and in this way. 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 in this manner, and in this way.

For upon the land lived two men, and they both claimed the same land. So they decided one day not to fight, but each would work his part. One would grow one type of plant and the other another. And so they began. And since they were always in competition, each year’s crop became more bountiful.

And soon, there was another piece of land that was given unto them. And the person who gave it said unto them, “Since you quarrel over the land, let one own one land and then the other own the other.”

The two went to decide which would be which’s land, and who should own what. And soon it was found they could not decide once again. So once again they decided that they would each grow their own things, and farm both lands. And again, they grew bountiful crops.

And once again, there was land nearby that they could buy up. So they went together and bought more land. And this time there was fourfold of the first land. But again they could not agree who owned what. So, each grew his own crop. And they multiplied and multiplied in land and in crops.

As they began to grow old and their children began to inherit the ground, their children began to separate the ground. And the ground seemed to grow less with each generation of separation.

And the two old men came forth unto them. And they said, “We shall teach you something. It was never that we could not agree to disagree. It was only that we enjoyed disagreeing, so that we might be in competition and see who could [draw] the best crop. So all land from this day forth will be drawn in the lots, and no land shall be separated. And each shall grow that unto which he wishes upon the land.

And once again the land began to produce in great quantity.

Now we say unto you, this seems like a puzzle or a myth. But we say to you, as long as man has a dream to live for, he shall live. As long as he reaches out to discover new land, to plant new fields, he shall continue to grow and mature. For he shall reach for the stars, and beyond, and in the reaching, because he shall compete, he shall become better and better.

The only thing that man has not done is compete for peace and harmony among yourselves, to find your soul self. A day will come when you shall find the necessity of it….

For upon the Earth and in the heavens work is being done to prepare the way for a great happening. And from the east shall come that which is necessary to sustain its growth. And then it shall come from the north and the south. As this growth begins, fertilize its growth in the area where interest is shown. But remember, time does not stand still; all things are but a blinking of an eye in an eternity. The change will come and go — it is up to you to make it happen.

May 16, 1986: “Thank you, Aka. [12–423–1] asks, ‘To please tell us what is the problem with the horses − Pegasus, Cat Magic, and now the latest one. What treatment should they be given?’”

The horse, Pegasus, was poisoned. The horse, Cat Magic, had a twofold problem − one of poisoning, the other of parasites. There is treatment for this. The ground must be kept clean. Horses are curious, and when they are bored they will take their curiosity out on what they find and try to eat it. The colt, which soul Ray calls, Trouble, has a twofold problem at this point, and one is with parasites and the other is that which he has eaten. If you will think, all three horses became ill in the same area where the old barn was. This area should be plowed very, very deeply, and then picked from the earth all substance there in the same which might be harmful. We have seen your need….

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [18–517–7–5], she asks, ‘Do you have a special message for me?’”

Yes, we see thy need.

And we shall say unto thee, make pilgrimage into the healing well. Take of its water.

The healing springs are blessed. Can you see a shaft of light shining upon and in it? It is not from the sun, which was not overhead at 3:30 p.m, but halfway down.

By this we mean, to take a container of 500 cc’s and fill this container. Take it home with you. And as you take the other substances given to you by soul Ray, take of this, and you shall soon find that it shall magnify itself. If you find truth in what we say, then come back and ask again, and we shall show you the direction into which you shall go.

June 6, 1986: Yes, we see thy need. And we should answer in this manner. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God. Glory be the children of God.

And we shall say unto thee this parable.

For once upon the land, the Lord looked onto the Earth and looked into the times that would come. And He called forth His son, and He said, “SEND THEE THERE ONE WHO SHALL PREPARE THE WAY FOR YOUR COMING.”

And so, one was selected. And he went there before.

And he went into the multitude as he grew older, and he preached to the many, and he gave of himself, all of himself. He gave nothing unto himself. He prepared for that day when the Son, the first-begotten Son of God, would appear on the Earth and be known to man.

He kept himself clean. And he took naught into his body that would not keep his body clean. And he prayed to the Lord, thy God, as was called of him and as he was taught. He did all these things. And he tried to make the land of Israel ready for the coming. Yet he knew that it would not be only in the land of Israel, it would be on all the land.

And so he ventured forth. And he went unto Egypt. And he went, therefore, unto all the lands of the Earth.

John the Baptist preaches, “Repent, for the kingdom of God is nigh.”

And he did preach and talk, and say, “The Lord, thy God, has sent His Son. Be prepared. Change your ways. Be transformed.” And all there did hear him speak.

Some were greatly impressed by that which he had to say. Others, who should by all right, and of their teaching, made way and ready for this time — and they did not make ready for their time, for they plotted only for the prophet’s death.

And he went unto the Lord, and he said, “God, my Father, I who have come as You have ordered to prepare the way, why have You made it so hard for me? Why is it that those who should know the most know the least? Why is it that they can not hear Thy words as I speak them?”

And the Lord, God, said, “The Earth is not an easy world, at best, to live upon. And we can make it no easier for them to hear.”

And so he went back upon the Earth and he preached and he taught.

And that holy day did come forth.

And the Messiah walked among men and talked to men. And he walked unto all lands of the Earth. In some he was received greatly; in some, in his homeland, he was denied. And there, in his own homeland, this prophet did die.

Many of you know this story we have just told you. Many of you who hear our words will say, “Why have they spent this time to speak of such a thing?”

It is but a small thing to know the time of year to plant and the time of year to harvest and put aside that which you need for winter. We say unto you, it is that time − it is a time to harvest, and plant at the same time. Harvest the grain that you have planted in the fields, and plant it, so that the seed of man may multiply and hear the words that we have brought unto you. For time grows short.

How would you measure time? We measure it by your time, that you may understand of which we speak.

There shall be many who shall cast asunder, of this work, and others shall accept it and embrace it and know the truth of it.

And tomorrow you shall have your Annual Meeting.

And you shall come forth and light your candles and say those things that have been prepared to say.

And we say unto you, for in all that we promised we have given. For we told you before, for those who should not believe shall leave the valley, and the valley shall become as one. In the worst of times the greatest of things shall happen.

When you look upon the Earth and think not, that the righteous shall rise upon the Earth, is when they shall be righteous and rise, and captivate the Earth.

Hear our words − and we say unto you, believe, therefore, in us this day. We do not lie to you. We have come to you in truth. Through the many years we have come.

We say to you, each prepare your houses for the day that the Lord shall be here, that you may welcome him, and allow him to enter.

June 13, 1986: Yes, we see thy need. We shall answer in this manner and in this way. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God; glory be the name of the children, forever and ever.

We say unto you, for upon the land there dwelled five men. And they lived very close to one another on adjoining farms. Each grew their own special crops. And they had always been compatible with one another. And therefore, when it was time to sell their crops, they stood together. And they always got a good price for their crop.

One day one of them decided that he would grow half of each, and in that half he would grow some of what the other four were growing. The other four looked upon him, and they said, “Why do you do this? Why are you changing that which we have always done?”

And he said, “I do this because one day you might sell your farm to someone else, and if I do not establish a market and grow all the things now, where will I be; how will I sell that which I grow?”

The others heard him and thought, “This is fair.” So each of them did the same.

But when each of them reached the marketplace, because the things they were growing they were not used to growing, nor was the ground used to yielding this type of crop, it was not up to the same standards it had been. So all four received a much lower market value for what they had grown.

The three went and stood aside and said, “We must return back to the way we have been.”

The fourth was unsure. He said, “Yes, it always costs to change, but change I must.” And so, the next year he’d grow each unto this that his neighbor grew.

His neighbors grew the things they had grown before.

And because of the lack of the substance of the one grower, they were still penalized.

And the one received even less than he had the years before. Yet he said to himself, “The ground will change; the weather will change. And I shall get a better crop next year.”

The other three decided that they must grow what he had grown. So they chose some of the best land they had and they grew that which he had grown before. And they went to the market. And they did receive a higher value. Yet it was not the same in monetary substance, but it was higher.

Yet the one who grew all four, his was even lower yet.

And he came then unto them and said, “Let us go back; let us grow these things that we grew before. I shall grow that which my soil is suited for and each of you should grow that which your soil is suited for.”

They had suffered with him through all these years. They had prospered before with him. Yet, the last year they had prospered without him. And so they said unto him, “Nay, we shall not join you anymore. Grow that which you wish. Sell that where you wish. We shall neither buy nor sell nor trade with you.”

And so, he became an outsider, an outsider of the people he had known. And try as hard as he must, he could not change the soil’s mind; he could not make the rain change.

One day, a man came among them. And in his bag he [had] handed the man some new seed. And he said, “Try this crop. And if the yield is not that which you have known before, and the profit is not that which you have known before, I shall make up this profit for you.”

The man thought, “I have nothing to lose, so I should grow this crop.” And he did grow an abundant crop. And when he went to sell it sold in an abundant way.

Maize seed

His neighbors were still growing the same as they had before. They saw what he was doing, but they had none of the seed, and was offered none by him.

The stranger said, “Share with your neighbors, and I shall return on the fifth year. And upon the fifth year, have you done as I have asked you, then your profit shall be tenfold.”

The farmer thought, “Why should I share with my neighbors? I have an unusual crop, a bountiful crop. And if I am the only one who grows it the price will continue to go up.”

The price did not go up; it stayed the same.

And on the fifth year, the stranger came back, and said, “Let me see that that you have shared with your neighbors.”

And he said, “I owe you nothing; why should I share with my neighbors?”

The stranger looked at him and said, “For is it not written that the sins of the mother and father shall go unto the fifth generation? And we gave you five years to change, and you have not. Now we know that you shall never change.”

And so they left. And before they left they gave unto each of his neighbors better seed yet than he had received. And they said to him, “Share this with your neighbors and we shall come back in five years.”

And so, each year they grew an [a]bountiful crop. And each year each one set aside seed.

Yet, the one looked at it and said, “If I accept it, it must be a trick. I never gave them seed, why should they give me seed?” And so he did not plant that which had been given to him.

And so, in five years they returned. And they came to him and said, “Why did you not plant the seeds?”

And he said, “Why should I be my brothers’ keeper?”

They looked at him, and they went to the three neighbors. And they gave them new seed once again. And they said, “Plant this seed and we shall come back in five years. But share it with your neighbor.”

This time they shared it with all their neighbors, and all the country, therefore, around. And in five years it had spread across the land. And the land had become known for its valued crops.

Yet the one man, who received this most seed, had decided he would sell all the seed he had. And so he did so. And he had no crop at all.

When the stranger came back he said, “Truly, truly, you have looked and seen. And with each thing we have given, you have become more jealous and more selfish. Therefore, we leave you to your own folly.”

And so all the land, except one, from that day on prospered.

Now we say unto you, in many ways, yourselves are like this land. You have been given many gifts. Some of you accept them readily and put them to use. Some of you want to store the seed and sell it.

We say to you, for that which you receive and that which you give, so shall you receive ten-times-fold. If you bless the water that comes, the water shall return many times. If you curse the water, the wells in the ground and the heavens will dry up. If you bless the corn and the crops, so shall they.

Blessed be the name of the Lord, thy God. Blessed be the name of His children.

August 1, 1986: Yes, we see thy need, and we should answer in this manner and in this way. For we have told you the parable of the healing well and the young girl who went there to receive healing. [Editor’s note: See the “Parable of the Small Girl” on page 7.]

And many people pushed and shoved to reach the healing well, and she waited. She waited until the very last. And a voice came unto her and said, “Why do you wait my daughter?”

Bernadette Soubirous when a child.

And the child said, “For if in truth this is a healing well, there shall be an abundance left over for me.”

And the Lord, God, looked unto this child and said, “BEHOLD, FOR IT IS YOUR FAITH THAT SHALL HEAL YOU THIS DAY.”

And the Lord wept, and the teardrops touched the child and she became new again, and whole, a body.

The child rose and thanked the Lord for that that had been given unto her.

And the Lord said, “CHILD, COME THEE BACK AGAIN IN THREE WEEKS.”

In three weeks the child was back. And again she waited.

And there were some who had known her and had seen her from before. And they said, “Child, if you have not received healing go before these others.”

She said, “Nay. The healing that I shall need and receive shall come when all of them have received that which they need.”

Bernadette Soubirous (January 1844–16 April 1879) was the firstborn daughter of a miller from Lourdes (Lorda in Occitan), France, and is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church. She is best known for the Marian apparitions of a “young lady” who asked for a chapel to be built at the nearby cave-grotto at Massabielle where apparitions are said to have occurred between 11 February and 16 July 1858. She would later receive recognition when the lady who appeared to her identified herself as the Immaculate Conception. Despite initial skepticism from the Catholic Church, Soubirous’s claims were eventually declared “worthy of belief” after a canonical investigation, and the Marian apparition is now known as Our Lady of Lourdes.

And those who had received healing lingered. And when she walked to the well once again, the heavens opened and the water fell. And the voice came again and said, “HEAR ME, DAUGHTER, FOR THE OTHERS SHALL NOT HEAR. AND THEY SHALL THINK YOU HAVE GONE MAD. FOR I SHALL TELL YOU THESE THINGS. AND YOU SHALL GO UPON THE WORLD AND GIVE THE GIFT THAT I SHALL GIVE YOU THIS DAY. AND BECAUSE I GIVE YOU THIS GIFT YOU SHALL BE GREATLY PER­SECUTED BY MAN. DO YOU ACCEPT THIS?”

And the child said, “Yes, Father.”

All those who saw her saw the brightness of her face, and the glow of her body, and they knew that a heavenly body had touched her.

And she left this place. And she went forth, but a child, to speak among all the adults. She went into the learned places, and into the churches.

And the elders feared her, and they said, “Look, she is of the devil, beware of her.”

Yet there were those who looked, and heard, and saw a truth within her.

She walked on. And she went into her parents, and her parents became greatly afraid. And she said unto them, “It is written that I must respect your wishes and I must obey my mother and father, and show you all the respect due unto you. But I tell you unto this day, the Lord, God, has spoken unto me and sent me on a mission.”

Her mother became quite hysterical, and cried.

The father looked and saw a truth. He reached down and he picked up his daughter and said, “Daughter, I see God in thee. Come, we shall go, and go about your Fathers work.”

So the father and the mother, with what meager earnings they could find, they went from place to place where the girl spoke. And more and more people began to gather to hear this wise and wonderful child.

Bernadette Soubirous (in 1866).

And she said unto them, “For I have come to prepare a way, for the Lord, God, has told me this day, I shall go forth to prepare the way for he who shall come and prepare the way for the Master.”

And many said, “Why is it that you go to prepare the way? Why does he not come himself?”

And she looked upon them and said, “I do not know all the ways of the Lord, for I am not as smart as some. I only know these things that I have been told to tell you. I know that the way of the Lord is mysterious and strange, but in the end you shall find that the greatest wisdom shall come forth, and the greatest good shall be unfolded before you, and the greatest wisdom laid at your feet.”

One day as she had toured a foreign country, the voice came unto her, the voice of the Lord, and said, “DAUGHTER, NOW IS THE TIME, RETURN BACK TO THE WELL.”

The little girl went unto her father. And great gatherings had come about, great fame had come unto her and her parents, for those who had believed. And her parents did not want to give this good life up. But the father once again looked upon the daughter and said, “Let us go, daughter, and we shall be about your Father’s work.”

And when the girl reached the well, God spoke unto her and said, “DAUGHTER, PICK UP WATER FROM THIS WELL AND GO UNTO THIS CITY WHERE A WOMAN LIES SICK AND DYING. TAKE YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER, FOR YOU, FROM THIS DAY FORTH UNTIL YOU RETURN UNTO HERE, SHALL BE IN SPIRIT.”

And they went there. And they did give of the water and they did give of the blessings. And they returned back unto the well.

And the Lord, God, said, “NOW, DAUGHTER, GO THEE WAY AND CONTINUE TO HEAL.”

And she said, “Oh Father, tell me, who was the woman that you had brought me here to heal?”

And he said unto her, “FOR SHE SHALL GIVE BIRTH UNTO THE ONE WHO SHALL COME AFTER YOU AND PREPARE THE WAY FOR YET ANOTHER.”

And so it has been throughout time and throughout history − one handing the torch to the other, unto this time. The torch of light that burns within you is the torch of love that overflows and comes this day into your hearts. It is like a beautiful bouquet of flowers; it comes in many colors. Pick it up. Hand it one unto another; share it. Do not be afraid that you shall run out of these gifts, for they are abundant….

A statue of the Virgin Mary (right) and a statue of the Lady of Guadalupe (right) stand above the healing springs on the Dripping Springs Mountain, Arizona, not unlike the statue of our Lady of Lourdes stands after she was seen 128 years earlier. The first of these is the apparition of February 11, 1858, when 14-year old Bernadette Soubirous told her mother that a “lady” spoke to her in the cave of Massabielle (a half mile from the town) while she was gathering firewood with her sister and a friend. Similar apparitions of the “Lady” were reported on seventeen occasions that year, until the climax revelation of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception took place. Is it any wonder the “lady in white” appeared several times when Ray asked God to heal someone — in Globe in 1972 when an elderly blind man was healed and saw her, and at the healing springs, when they were blessed and probably dedicated to our Lord, for the sake of healing? The “lady in white” stood at the healing springs to heal us, and all who cone in need to ask God.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [18–519–8] who is also here tonight…resides in Tucson, she asks, ‘Please give me direction on earth changes to come and how may I be of service and prepare?’”

We shall answer your question in this manner and in this way. Fear not the changes of the earth.

You have the changes of the seasons. You have the summer, which is a time of growth. You have the fall which is a time of harvest. You have winter, a time of rest. And you have the spring, the time of new life.

Now, we say unto you, now is the time of spring unto you, of new life. Enter it without fear. For that, changes which will come upon the earth, is not to destroy the earth, only to alter the form and bring healing. So fear not what shall happen. Do not run and hide, for the ground you stand on shall be safe. But what matters most is the place where you stand where you’re happiest, where your soul scores [soars]to the heavens, that is what matters − where your soul finds gladness, that you walk in the sunshine, that you walk in the evening, that you walk in the nighttime, unto all times with gladness in your heart, allowing each day to become new and reborn again….

But we say unto all of you, now is the time of the cherubim. Many earth changes shall occur. New earthquakes shall shake the land as never before. Fear not, for the isles of California shall emerge from them and shall become a beautiful place for you to visit and live. Other places shall be altered in their form. Realize that the Earth, to right itself, to correct its own flaws, must change. All things are changing, even the rivers as you look upon them. Is it so unusual that your earth should change? Volcanic action and earthquakes are but tools to bring about this change.

Freeze-dried bacon bars

There shall be times when provisions of storage shall be needed. And we have told you this. We do not want you to preserve the food so that it cannot be used. We have told you, preserve and store so you may help those in need. A need of a desolate family without can come every day; it’s all around you. Serving the need of others − but remember you must serve yourselves. This is not a greedy or selfish thought. These are thoughts of necessity. If you were to clean your neighbor’s yard, clean yours first, your own. And use the same with storing. If you should [have] your neighbors store, store yourself first, and by example your neighbors shall know that they need a year’s provisions.

We say unto you, your spirits are strong. That yet war is about you, plan for peace, but know this, as we have told you, if you should live in a place where an earthquake should occur build a house that shall withstand an earthquake. It is the same way with other catastrophes. We have told you before that where water flowed, no water shall flow. The plight that is upon the earth and has hidden and struck the land is but part of the whole.

September 26, 1986: Yes, we see thy need. And we should answer in this manner. Glory be the name of the Lord; glory be the name of His children forever and ever.

And we should say unto thee this parable in this manner and in this way.

For long ago, men came together in friendship.

And they looked upon the ground and the earth around them and they said, “Between these mountaintops we shall grow abundance of food for all.” And so, they did enter. And the mountaintop kept the great storms away from them. They had an abundance of rain, but it was never cold and never real hot. And all the plants that they planted flourished.

Then one day one of them said, “Let us have a great herd of cattle.” And so he went out of the valley and he brought forth the cattle. And where there had been no fences men began to put up fences because they were afraid of the cattle, afraid that the cattle would eat all the things that they had planted and destroy them.

The men who had brought the cattle in told them, “Nay, there is such, so much food here in the valley in land that has not been planted that surely the cattle will not touch that that you have.” But cattle, being as they are, wandered one day into a neighbor’s field, and they did eat of it and they destroyed it.

Roses bloom on Easter Sunday in 2017 beside the church Ray built and dedicated to God during the Advent season in December 1982. John the Baptist had come long ago to prepare a way for the coming of the Messiah. His message was,”Repent, for the kingdom of God draws nigh.” Before Ray passed on October 5, 2000, during the Holy Days of Awe or Days of Repentence, he saw to it that the church and land were legally separated from his ranch and sold to the Association of Universal Philosophy, Inc. This was Ray’s wish, so there would always be a place for the people of God to come. The parable tells of cattle in the valley. Later that year, in 2017, some cattle broke the back fence to graze on the grass in the church yard. But sometimes, as cattle will, they also ate many roses.

The man with the cattle the next day came forth and saw that that had been done. And he did not have money and he said, “Here, I shall give you two of the cattle for that damage that has been done.”

And gradually, cattle began to appear all over the land, for everyone had cattle, and everyone had farms, and they grew up side by side in harmony.

It is sometimes true that when there is only one who has a substance, and because it is new and people do not know of it, they are afraid. They are afraid of those things they do not understand….

You have other questions, ask.

“_______ …and she asks, ‘Which is my mission in the Earth; is there a special message for me?’”

We shall answer your question in this manner. If you are walking the path and along the pathway and the right side had plenty of water and the left did not, and you had the means to move the water and divide it, would you not do so? For water is the spirit of life. That is the message. Allow the water and the spirit of life to pass through you unto others. Glory be the name of the Lord thy God; glory be the name of His children forever.

And we say unto you, all things that were shall be. For once before, upon the desert it was green and fertile, and it grew abundance of all things. And it shall be again.

But we say unto you, look into your hearts to find a truth. The truth is there, in the quiet part of your minds. Look there. And we say to you, love costs nothing, yet it brings and grows everything. Love given is a beautiful thing.

There are many types of love. A jealous love is no good. A loving love, an open love that has no boundaries reaches unto the four corners of the earth. Let it flow from each of you. Let it become your guiding star. If you should do so, you can be the beginning of the coming of the Messiah….

And we say to you, look unto your star.

October 17, 1986: “Thank you, Aka. R___ B____ …asks, could they have a later guidance on the food storage, and how to go about it?” [Note: You can find much of Aka’s guidance at “Prepare for the Time of the Great Famine.”]

Yes, and we should answer your question in this manner. The food storage, each time that you go to the store, buy extra of canned goods, and those things that would keep of a long time. Put aside a year’s supply of food for each member in the household. Put it in a place that in essence is fireproof. Put it in a place that you yourself might go for safety. Put a year’s supply away. And whether it [is] from famine, disease or war, it would allow you the safety to exist until help has arrived.

There is many things that a person might store. But when you’re about storing, find books that you have not read and store them, so that there shall be a use for the mind also.

December 19, 1986: You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [B__ L______] asks, ‘Will the project that soul Ray and I are planning on the ranch be financially successful to the point of building and operating a health and learning facilities at Dripping Springs?’”

If that is the desire; if finances put forth to develop this, it shall grow into a very bountiful return. It shall take capital gain, in a manner that you shall need capital to process and extract the same. There are many who would like to become into this. Some would be greedy. But fairness is fairness. Allow that fairness to be. And as we have said before, the riches were placed there for a time when they would be needed. Now is the time to remove them for that part that is needed….

We say unto you, glory be the name of the Lord, thy God; glory be the name unto His children. And we say to you, may the Lord bring forth unto your hearts the warmth, the love, the glory that is intended. May the Cherub be with you. May you walk in the light of he who is to come, and he who has come, yet they should be of the same. Yet the time shall be different.

As you stand around and see the conjecture [conjunction] of the stars that shall come together, look unto the heavens, for they are writing upon the sky, the fullness of the time.

Once, Jesus of Nazareth said, “Can you not read the seasons? Can you not see the time that is about you?” We say unto you the same. Let the gloryness and the holiness and the joy of God dwell in each soul; let them take it forth with them. Let the glory of God be with you.

For the new year, January 2, 1987, this was asked: “Thank you, Aka. [R___ B____] who is also here tonight asks, ‘Can we please have advice on forming a closely knit Association with common goals to work together?’”

Yes, we see thy need, and we would say, take the first step; learn to like yourselves. When you have accomplished this, then look upon your fellow man in the same manner.

All of you have faults. If you may overlook the other’s fault, but in doing so, in learning to like yourself, adjust your attitudes in such a manner that you may respect one another. Through this common respect, and through the preparation that we have said, you shall know within your own hearts and souls that if we pour wines for you, and it sets before you and you wish to drink of it, all you have to do is pick it up. And for those who chose to drink of this, we shall provide the way for all the rest.

January 23, 1987: Yes, we see thy need. We should answer in this manner and in this way. 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 unto these words. “There shall be no other God before Him.”

There shall those who shall come forth and say unto thee, “I am God.” And they have profaned the name of the Lord, and in their profaneness, they have even profaned themselves, for they have allowed no place for themselves.

If you wish, you may go back to the time when the Anti-Christ, known as Adolf Hitler, walked the face of the Earth. And he came forth and he talked in a voice that attracted many people. He used his talent for organization. He used his psychic talents until they had depleted him. And he used the psychic talents of many others. And those who would not agree with him, he slayed them and had them slain. He killed 12 million people in his concentration camps alone.

Survivors being liberated at Dauchau after World War II ended

We are concerned to see this once again appear on the face of your Earth.

There are those who should know better and do not in the land of Russia.

But there are those with all the choices of freedom that your land [U.S.A.] should give, “one nation under God,” and they should say a profaneness.We say unto you, this is not the way. These people shall not lead their people unto God, but away from Him; they shall lead him not to the coming of the Messiah, but away from him.

And you say unto us, “Is these the Anti-Christ?”

And we say unto you, as we have come forth to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah, there shall be those who come forth to prepare the way for the coming of the Anti-Christ. Believe in the Lord, thy God. Believe in the wisdom of Jesus of Nazara. Do not sway and allow them, anyone, to sway you from the path, and you shall never wear the mark of the beast. [See The Revelation, chapter 13.]

We say unto you, there have been many times and half times. There have been many tests, that test people down to where there is no more. Why should this be so?

We say to you, we have told you before that the times were coming and would come about. We say unto you, prepare yourselves. Do you have to build a castle or a monument? Nay. The only monument you must build is within your body and mind. And know that you are the children of God. You are the creation of God. You were created in His image, of His kind, of His likeness. [See Genesis 1:26–31.]

February 20, 1987: Yes we see thy need. We shall answer in this manner and in this way. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God; glory be the name of His children forever and ever.

And we say unto thee, for we shall answer your question in this manner. For upon the Earth in a city in the Americans, there once lived four brothers, each born within a few years of the other. When they were very young, they started competing, one among the other. At first, it was for the affection of their father. Then it was for the affection of different girls in their village. It was a game to them, a game that, as soon as they had this person and the person possessed [professed]their love to them, they no longer needed nor wanted.

The father saw the folly of his sons and went behind them picking up the pieces of destruction left. It was soon evident to the father that he would have many grandchildren born out of wedlock. This did not bother the father, for he only enjoyed the joy of enjoying the children, his grandchildren. And he went about farming his farm and running his ranch.

But soon it became very apparent to him that should his sons continue as they were that there would be no inheritance left for his grandchildren. So he called his four sons in and said, “I shall give each one of you a parcel of land. Whoever can do the best and have the best crops for the next ten years shall own all of the land. But in owning all of the land, you must provide for all, in­cluding your mother and I, and the children you have been responsible for bringing into this world.”

At first, there were those of his sons who would not accept, or did not want to accept, this type of respon­sibility. And he said, “Fine, then leave.”

There were those who would accept, but said, “How can I know this child is mine?”

And the father said unto them, “For I know, and that is enough.”

Soon, two of the sons decided that they would go together and pool their land and work against the other two.

The youngest son, at this point, began to see the folly of his ways, and he agreed to the terms.

The other son thought, “I can go to surrounding farms and bring in extra cattle to show my yield; this shall be a way I shall win.”

And so, the first year passed. The two that had gone together, theirs began to multiply. The youngest seemed to have many problems. The other, his was multiplying because he had bought from other farmers to show a yield and he had bought cattle from other ranchers and sold them.

The second year passed by. For the two, the competition against their brothers did not seem to be great because the two together combining their forces seemed to outdo the other two. Yet the youngest brother had a better quality of stock and his fields yielded more per acre. The other son still continued his folly.

The father watched.

And so it continued into the eighth year. And the father knew that the two were working together. He also knew that the one son was only buying and selling, and really growing nothing. He also knew that the younger son grew a better quality. Each part of the land he had received began to flourish to his touch.

So he went unto the youngest son and said, “My son, what have you learned from this?”

And he said, “Father, I have learned that the seed that we plant, both upon the earth in many ways, must be tended to with loving care. I shall accept − should I win or lose I shall accept the responsibility of the children.”

The father went to the other two sons and said, “What have you learned?”

They said, “To compete, to be better than our brothers.”

And he said, “What are your responsibilities?”

And each of them said, “We have found fine wives and shall soon provide you with fine grandchildren.”

And he said to them, “What of the grandchildren I already have?”

And they said, “Well, who’s to know whether they are ours or not, or whether they are really your grandchildren?”

The father looked upon them and said, “I shall know. And as I shall know, so shall the Father in heaven know, and so shall your mother know.”

And so he went unto the one who was trading, and he confronted him with the fact that he had traded. The one who had traded laughed and said, “Yes, Father, I am a good trader. I enjoy trading. At first I thought to trick you and my brothers, but I have learned that I enjoy the trading and I shall make my living from this day forth of trading. But I shall accept the children. And whoever wins, I shall help to support them. And myown, I shall claim and give them my name, and your name.”

The father left with great gladness in his heart.

And so, the tenth year came. The two sons had married and their wives were pregnant. And they went to the father to claim their reward. And father said, “You come to take your reward, yet you have not heard from your brothers. Where are they?”

And the one said, “For the one brother has become a trader; he has given to us his part.”

And the father said, “Nay, he did not give unto you his part; he gave it unto me and I gave it unto your brother. So we’ll see what the greatest yield is.”

The youngest brother came forth. And he had an abundance of crop and an abundance of cash flow. And he said to the father, “I could not have done this except that my brother took our stock and our harvest and did great things on the market. If I have won anything, Father, it must be shared with my brothers.”

The two brothers protested.

The father said, “The youngest brother has won.”

And the youngest brother said unto them, “Then if it is mine to do that which I wish, Father, give unto my brothers that that belongs to them; give unto my other brother that that belongs to him, and I, Father, shall take that that which belongs to me. But first, Father, let it all belong to you until the day you pass, and let us take the responsibility of the work.”

The Father looked at them and said, “I will accept this except for one thing. I shall never retire; I shall become a productive part within all of this.”

Some will think that the story we have told you is a story that you might have heard many times, but yet, heard it not.

We say to you, there are many pathways to heaven; our Father has many mansions. Yet, He has but one first-begotten son. Yet it be the first, He gave the joy unto the last as much as the first. As He gave the joy unto this one known as Jesus of Nazareth, so has He given the same joy unto the last begotten of His children. Forget this not, and know that the Lord, thy Father, thy God, loves you. And so He shall not retire, He shall always be with you in all things that you do.

February 27, 1987: Yes, we see thy need, and we should say unto thee unto this manner.

For upon the land there became a great famine, and great storms were cast upon the land.

And many rose and said, “The Lord is angry with us. What have we done? And what can we do, that the Lord should take this plight from us?”

And so, each person looked unto his neighbor. And if the neighbor was slightly different than themselves, they blamed their neighbor. And they began to cast their neighbors out. And soon they were looking at one another, because the storms continued.

One among them knew that that that was wrong was that that they were doing. And he went unto their temple and he prayed unto the Lord and said, “Lord, if I have wronged Thee, then punish me, but do not punish the others.”

The Lord, God, looked upon him and said unto these words, “FOR BEHOLD, YOUR NEIGHBORS RAVISH NEIGHBORS. CAN THEY NOT SEE THAT THE LAND IS BUT CLEANING ITSELF AND RENEWING ITSELF, FOR IS THIS NOT THE WAY, WHEN WINTER COMES FOR THE LAND TO SLEEP, FOR STORMS TO COME? IT IS THEY WHO ARE NOT PREPARED, AND DID NOT PREPARE THEMSELVES IN THEIR BETTER DAYS. NO, I SHALL NOT PUNISH YOU, FOR YOU HAVE DONE NAUGHT UNTO YOUR NEIGHBOR, BUT GOOD DEEDS. AND I SHALL NOT PUNISH THEM, FOR THEY SHALL PUNISH THEMSELVES.”

So he went back unto the people and he said, “Behold. Change your ways. Be different. Bring back your neighbor that you have cast aside and ask his forgiveness.”

At first, they became angry at him and were going to cast him aside.

And the storms had continued. And they thought to themselves, “If we bring our neighbors back and ask for their forgiveness, maybe the storms will end.”

By this time, springtime had come. They went to their neighbors, asked their forgiveness, and spring came. And they thought, “Behold; look, the Lord has rewarded us.” And they had a great festival, and shouted with great joy.

And the man went back to the temple and said, “Oh, Lord, I see the folly that You speak of.”

And the Lord said unto him, “FOR, IN TRUTH, THEY DID NOT FORGIVE THEIR NEIGHBOR. BUT HAVE I NOT SAID THAT THE SUN AND THE RAIN WOULD SHINE ON ALL? DID THEY NOT KNOW THIS, THAT THE SEASON’S WAS UPON THEM? BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, GO UNTO THEM AND SAY IT IS THE SEASON OF THE LORD AND A CHANGE SHALL BECOME UPON YOU. FOR I SHALL SEND UNTO YOU MY FIRST BEGOTTEN SON, THAT HE MIGHT SHOW YOU THE FULFILLMENT OF THE WAYS.”

And so, this one went back unto them and said, “Behold, the Lord shall send unto you His first begotten. What shall you do with this?”

When the first begotten Son arrived, he said, “I tell you this parable. For the Lord of the land left the land in the care of a caretaker. And the caretakers began to − were supposed to send the Lord of the lands the rent. But soon, they began to look at the land as though it was their own, and they did not send rent. Then one day, the Lord sent forth, of the lands, sent His first begotten son, and they killed him. Yet, the Lord forgave them, if they could forgive themselves.” [See Mark 12:1–12.]

We say unto you, we have brought you a parable, a parable that says to you − what the Lord has asked of you is your own tithing, whether you tithe from your purse, or tithe from your soul, or tithe from the spirit, and meaning that you tithe from all. If at the end of each day you thank the Lord for that which has been given to you then it shall be given back unto you tenfold the next day. And so it shall multiply and become whole for you.

There are many who shall say unto you that the words we have spoken could not be true. But we say unto you, behold, and you shall see all words that we have spoken come to pass….

“R____ B____ asks again to give more help on how to store for emergency supplies and where, and to give us a time element for how much. Thank you.’”

We see thy need. Each household should have that that would last them for one year − each household. Take that step first and the rest shall follow suit. But each household must do their own part. If you do this, and each time you go to the store, grocery store, if you buy a few extra cans and put them away. The next time you go to the store buy a few more. But use those that you have put away and place the new ones in their place, adding to them. Soon you will have a good supply.

Allow yourself to put blankets, sewing material, including cloth. To store clothes would be rather foolish, but cloth may be stored and stored safely. Store tools that allows you to make different things including carpentry. Store books of knowledge. By doing these things in this manner, in each household, it shall allow you to repair and rebuild where you are. But at the same time store seeds, both the seed of knowledge and the seed of food − for the mind, food for the body − all parts must be served.

You have other questions, ask.

“At this time, Aka, I have no more.”

Yes, we see thy need. And we shall say unto this one who asks − ye who have but little faith, yet you ask. Yet you ask with the least of un­derstanding. But what you ask for shall be given.

Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God; glory be the name of His children, forever and ever. We say unto you, what the Lord giveth the Lord may take away. If you have faith in something, the faith shall grow, as from a mustard seed. It may become a mountain, and then mountains….

But if you have faith in something, believe in it. It was given unto you a healing springs, yet your faith lost it. Only your faith can replace it.

The healing springs stand partway up the Dripping Springs mountains behind a church to God and Ray’s ranch in central Arizona.

Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God.

May 1, 1987: For those who would seek answers, allow yourself the time of growth, and know the seasons. Do not become impatient with yourselves, but bind together in your study groups. Let them expand, and exchange, one into another, the information, and the growth you desire should come forth − in more ways than you ever dreamed was possible.

Now is the time of the Cherubim.

May 15, 1987: Yes we see thy need, and we should answer your questions in this manner. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God; glory be the name of His children forever and ever. And we say unto thee this parable in this manner and in this way.

For upon the lands there was a great desert. It reached for hundreds of miles in the north, the south, the east and the west. But within the desert there were many oases. And there were valleys that were fertile and green, and there was an abundance of water. Yet everyone looked upon the desert and thought, “What a barren land.”

The Dripping Springs Ranch under the Dripping Springs mountains is another ranch than the one Ray Elkins bought, that was later named, Wellsprings Ranch. There are many ranches in this valley.

A young man came unto this valley. And at first, he worked for other people. Now one day he went out to the edge of town and he bought him some acres. A few years later, he bought more acreage. And a few years later he bought more.

And then, he waited a few years more, and he began to drill wells. The wells brought forth artesian water that was clear and beautiful. And he began to grow crops upon the land and sell his crops. And from the money he received he bought more land and dug more wells. Soon, he was a very, very wealthy man and had many people working for him.

And the Lord blessed him and he had some children. And from his children he began to see the manner in which they talked to people. And he made a decision. And he brought all of his children to him and he said to them, “You shall go and you shall work in the least of jobs that there is; you shall work in the fields. You shall not be a boss. You shall be a laborer, and until you have learned your lessons of humanity. And when you have I shall give you a proportion of the land.”

Some of his children argued, “Why shall they go and work as a laborer?”

He looked at them and said nothing.

He said, “Your choice is yours. If you want to become a land owner, either go out and do as I did, buy the land and develop it, or become a laborer and earn it.”

The children that stayed and worked were not too happy at first. But soon, they began to see what their father had seen. They saw that the land was good and boun­tiful. They saw that the water that came from the earth was good. But most of all, they saw the people who were working the land for their father and saw their love also for the land. And slowly they began to learn to love the land.

And the first son came forth and said to his father, “Father, I do not want you to give me land, for I have saved money, and I intend to buy land of my own.” And so he went forth to buy land and to develop it.

Another son came forth, and he said, “Father, I have worked long and hard, and I feel it is my time to receive my land.”

The father said, “Not yet; the time shall come.”

Another son came forth and said to his father, “Father, I should buy from you the wool that you are now selling abroad, and I should set up my own weaving plant.”

The father looked upon this and thought it was good.

Another son came forth and said, “Father, you have many livestock. Many of these go forth each year to be butchered, and you sell the hides for very little. I shall buy the hides from you, and I shall set up a leather company.”

Soon his children built many, many different industries. Only a few stayed with the land to inherit the land. Yet when the time came for the inheritance, those who had gone out on their own, and in their own businesses, had as great inheritance from their father as those that inherited the land itself. For in truth, what they had inherited from their father was the ability to see beyond themselves, the ability to see what was needed and go forth there and supply it. They did not do these things from greed, but from their own need to develop themselves.

We say unto you, these things that we say to you is so within yourself. The greatest thing you shall inherit from the Lord, thy God, is yourselves. You shall inherit the earth and the heavens, and all of that which is upon it − but it has been given unto you.

What greater love could a father have for his children than that the Lord has shown unto you? He said unto you, “BRING FORTH YOUR CUP AND ALLOW ME TO FILL IT.” And as you drink from the cup He has continued to fill the cup, not once, but many, many times.

We say to you, we shall fill your cups. If you drink from the cup of need, we shall fill it. If you drink from the cup of knowledge, that shall be filled. If you drink from the cup of love, that shall be filled. If you drink from the cup of hope, that shall be filled. But the greatest drink that you shall have is the hope and the faith to know that your Father is with you always.

June 6, 1987: Yes, we see thy need. And we shall tell you the parable in this manner and this way. Glory be the name of the Lord; glory be the name of His children forever and ever.

For upon the land there came two men. First, one came into the valley, and then the other. The first in his wisdom saw the need to plant of foodstuff. He also saw the wisdom to clear the land and make fields that could grow in abundance. And so, he went about it, and he built, and grew fine horses and fine cattle, and good fields.

Ray’s Wellsprings ranch shows in the valley below the Dripping Springs mountains. There he grew crops, such as hay and aloe vera. He raised fine horses, a burro and cattle. The ranch has four wells with abundant, good water. Ray built a church next door for the Association of Universal Philosophy, which he dedicated to God.

The other who came into the valley looked upon all this and coveted, and said unto himself, “I shall have all these things that this man has.” And so, he plotted. He came not − or cared not, that it took much work to make the valley flourish. All he saw was that it was there and that he could become abundant.

Soon, in the valley he brought thieves that would go into other places and steal and rob. And he continued to covet the land. Yet, he said unto him, “What you have given unto me, I shall take tenfold.”

And the other said unto him, “Nay. But go unto your land and grow what you may.”

After many attempts to take the valley and to take the man’s land, he had decided he would buy the land.

But as he had brought forth not unto good substance, he brought forth a bad and dangerous element.

And the Lord, God, had looked down upon this place and said, “FOR THIS IS MY LAND, AND THIS IS MY PEOPLE, AND I SHALL PROTECT IT.”

There were those who had laughed and thought great folly upon it. Yet, in the backs of their minds they knew that the Lord was with this one. And so, they became afraid. And yet, they put out bad rumors about him, and they said cruel and horrible things.

There were those who came to say good about him, and to tell the world of his goodness. Yet there were more that came to tell the lies, and to bear false witness against him.

At times he would think, “I shall find someone and sell this land and go elsewhere, for why should I continue to battle this battle day after day?” And it seemed that no one else cared. He felt alone and rejected. For the only one he could truly talk to, he felt, was the Lord, God.

And he said unto the Lord, God, “Lord, where are Thou? Why are Thy not with me? Why do You not stand and destroy mine enemies?”

And the Lord, God, looked upon him and said, “We see that that is your enemy, but it is our child that is your enemy. Does not the sun and the rain shine upon both?”

He could not understand this; he became more paranoid, and said, “Lord, I shall challenge you − protect me. Take these evil people away from me. Allow me to go back to my simple life of living, and being and seeing.”

Yet the Lord spoke not unto him.

And so he wandered about the land. He worked; he built his fences. He did good work upon the land, and the land yielded forth in abundance.

And still, those of the other people stayed. And then another year passed, and still they were there. And then another.

And he went unto his sacred place, his place where he had built a shrine unto the Lord. And there he knelt and said, “Oh, Lord, look upon me. Know that I am tired and weary, that I can no longer stand, night and day, and wait for these people to come forth upon me. So, Lord, I shall take and place into Your hands all these things I cannot do.”With this, he went into his house, went to his bed, and went to sleep.

When the other man heard that he had gone to sleep, he was sure that he would project and bring forth demons unto him. And so he said to his fellow outlaws, “Come, go with me and we shall destroy this one.” And so they all went with him.

And he reached to where the bedroom was, and they all circled around and proceeded to killeth of him. But yet, the Lord, God, would not allow this; so the weapons they had became useless and the bullets they had fired did not touch him.

Then great fear rose among them. And they wailed so loud they woke him.

When he woke up, he said, “Why do you wail; why do you make such horrible noises?”

And they said, “Because we fear you.”

And he looked at them and said, “Why do you fear me? Have I done you any evil? Have I committed any crime against you?”

Ray enjoys a brownie at the AUP church he built and dedicated to God in 1982.

The crime that had been committed was not in the eyes of man, but in the eyes of the Lord, God. And the one had not committed a crime against Him, for this one had committed a crime against himself for that which he thought and thought to do.

It is not always that which you think you see that is true. Before you bear false witness against someone, go and find out the truth for yourself. Allow the love of God to enter you. Allow that love to be transformed through you. And let it come out in the words of love, faith and hope.

Now, you have many questions, ask.

“Thank you Aka. [S____ R_______ in Tucson, Arizona], who is here tonight, asks, ‘Who were the people of Chaco Canyon? For what purpose were they organized, and where did they go?’”

The question you ask is threefold. First, they were organized together for their religion. Second, they came together so that they could provide food substance for one another. For one, as you know, can plant but a little and hunt but a little, but many can hunt a lot. That that you would know [of] Chaco Canyon would be those of the cousins of the Hohokam − much as they − for they were what you know now as the Hopi. But their search for the truth, and the vastness within it, allowed them to live on through eternity.

Chaco Culture National Historical Park. Large circular depression outlined by a stone wall. The bottom is flat and grassy, and has a collection of rectangular stone foundations and smaller circles of stone. A great sandstone cliff towers in the background, and beneath the cliff are other stone foundations that are larger and higher.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [A__ S______ …Dripping Springs] and is also here tonight, asks, ‘I am concerned with the quality of the water in my well and my neighbor’s well. What information can you give me? There is a high incidence of cancer and tumors among my neighbors. Is it possible that Agent Orange sprayed in the Pinals has infiltrated the water?’”

Yes, we see thy need. We will answer your question in this manner − that both, of the defoliant, has been used, but yet there is another. Through the strata in the water supply, there is two supplies, one which is known to run through Silver Canyon, the other is known to run through Dripping Springs. The one that goes through Silver Canyon and supplies the water for the water table which you are on is on this same strata that − within the uranium mines above you. As a result, the water you have has been contaminated when they shut the mines down.

It would be suggested that for drinking water, that bring it from the Dripping Springs area, the land here; the water is pure in substance. There is a small amount of lime in this water; that could be filtered out. It is not significant amount, in amounts, to hurt anything….

You have other questions, and they are many.

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

And we say unto the land of Oregon that that of the land beneath Mt. Hood, of the Cascade Mountains, shall shake and rumble and shall give off quakes in numbers. And it shall look as though it shall erupt, but not yet. Your San Andreas fault will give further destruction. But look unto Mexico and unto South America, for there shall soon be a rattling of the land in great masses.

Look unto the politics of your country. But we say unto you, look unto the politics, into your own local government. It has become time to take an interest in such a manner that the land shall fulfill itself. We say unto you, we are here but for one reason, the preparation for the coming of the Messiah.

Now is the time of the cherubim.

June 26, 1987: You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. G_____ B_____ who is also here tonight asks, ‘Dear Aka, do we have any drastic problems around the time of August 16th or 18th, or is it a marker for the beginning of tougher times? Thank you.’”

We should say unto you [that] of these questions and of these answers. Remember that the clock that you watch shall be 24 hours older when your 16th day arrives. Therefore, we say unto you, in the days of Quetzalcoatl, these who you call as Jesus, who walked upon your American land and who brought teachings, and who went with the evening star and promised to return with the morning star −

for it shall be the first step of his consciousness.

And it shall be felt around the world.

During a “harmonic convergence” of planets, a blessing in the first of four sacred Corn Ceremonies would be given on August 16–17, 1987. Ray Elkins, serving as prophet and Eagle, opened a way into the new world; then he invited those who wished to enter. Within the circle, the opening from the present to the future remained during these days. The other three Corn Ceremonies were on March 16–18 and August 26–28, 1988, and on Easter weekend, March 24, 1989. In the ceremonies, a vortex opened a link to the new world, which shone in purity and radiant strength. Unlike anything in this world bearing the imprint of all that has passed this way, the new world shone in powerful radiance, yet without identity, being, form, or karma. All was completely brand new in a way never seen before. Many said it felt like a new heaven and a new earth upon the Earth. On July 31, 1987, the spiritual messengers of God spoke these words before opening a way to the new world and time of the Messiah: “Now, we shall say unto you, the earth, the new earth that the Lord has given unto you, shall open unto you. Upon August the 16th it shall be opened. It shall begin to open at sunset August the 15th. And it shall begin to close at the sunrise, August the 17th.”

Yet, they are the other side of the coin, that that you know as the Anti-Christ, his footstep shall also be felt.

Your consciousness, therefore, must be guarded and placed together, bound together, as one. Come together in harmony and in prayer and in learning. If you do so, learning and har­mony is what you shall receive back in return.

It is our sincere hope, for we are not allowed to interfere.

Now is the time of testing. From the time we have come until now, we have told you of this time, the time when the great Sword shall divide both man and land masses − for that also shall occur and begin to occur in such a manner that you shall feel the earth shudder upon its axis. Yet, for those who are to have the Lord in their heart, they have nothing to fear.

But as you come together, remember, if you come in the house of the Lord, come with your hearts without prejudice of any kind, respecting one another, at all times, and bring prejudice against no one or thing.

We shall explain to you the difference between that which is prejudice and that which you do not care to associate yourself with. If a man came to kill your loved ones, and he was from the Anti-Christ or even if he wasn’t, and you must kill him in return, then you have not sinned before God. You have defended those things you love and cherish, and you have stopped this person from committing murder, and therefore, you have saved his soul, even though you have slain him. This is hard for you to understand. It is written, “Thou shall not commit murder.” There is a difference between the two. These things we say may be hard to understand, but we try to simplify it for you.

Praise be the Lord, thy God, in all manners, and praise be Jesus of Nazara, Buddha of Buddhas, Lord of Lords.

We know it is hard to understand fully the Lord’s way. Yet, is it like the river. The river you see you think is the same, but it is not the same, for the water is always changing, and so is the Lord flowing like the river, flowing to His children their needs. As their needs change, so the Lord alters and changes. But within truth, the Great Plan never changes.

We say unto you, now is your time and shall be your time of testing. Take the time to go unto all the people you can and say, “Come be with us. Let us take the time to worship. Let us try and take the time to bind together. Let us take the time to pray together, and learn together.”

But do so unto all, that they might hear this that is to be heard and seen and felt.

For this con­sciousness shall cross the Earth many times, but only one time in this way and at this moment.

We say unto you, at what you would know as 1:00 p.m., in the afternoon, all the candles in your candelabras should be lit. All the single candles should be lit. Make there forth an area, of 9.5- inches[feet]-by-9.5-inches[feet], of a triangle in double sides. It shall [gain for you] forth the Star of David. Plant, therefore, your candles at every one of these points, and you shall come unto the point in the center shall be the Thirteenth. Place that before your altar. And bring your prayer unto the Lord at this time, and you shall be within the conscious realm of all the world. It shall link you together.

As Ray led each person into the new world, one at a time, he or she carried a lit candle to place in the center (the Thirteenth signifies God). The light of the candle signifies the soul, that will stand in the new world with God (and the Messiah).

We know that you will want to listen and read this message very carefully. For in truth, those who have eyes to see shall see, those who have ears to listen shall hear.

And unto the 9th hour of the evening they shall be lit again. And then look unto the heaven[s] and see that which the Lord has to give you back in return.

July 10, 1987: Yes, we see thy need, and we should answer in this manner and in this way. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God; glory be the name of His children, forever and ever.

And we should say unto you this parable in this way.

For the seven angels came upon the Earth in their creation. And the Lord said unto them, “CREATE THE EARTH.”

And they brought upon the Earth the land and the water. And they separated the land from the water. Then they brought forth the rain and the seasons.

And the Lord looked upon the forests and the lakes. Then He looked upon the desert lands, and He said, “WHY HAVE YOU CREATED THIS? WHY HAVE YOU CREATED SUCH A HARSH PLACE FOR MY PEOPLE?”

Saguaros stand for centuries in the desert lands. Each arm represents 100 years of growth. Cacti hold a secret, of water within. Water also represents the spirit of life that flows from God, Aka says. We will find our Father within the quiet place within our mind where God dwells.

And they said unto the Lord, “From this land shall come your prophets, for it shall be a testing place. For the best of things shall be hidden within the cactus, and it shall take both wisdom and fortitude to unravel this. And so it shall be for the men and women who should come forth in prophecy, for they shall withstand the harshness of the land and build the greatness of the soul.”

The Lord thought upon this. And He said, “WHY HAVE YOU NOT PUT LEAVES ON THOSE TREES?”

And they looked and they said, “Lord, those are not trees, and they have their leaves. They are the wisdom growth of the cactus plant. They are the largest and the mightiest. Some shall grow in the beginnings of time. It is their patience that they shall teach your prophets.”

And so all came into completeness.

And the time came forth upon the Earth when all the times would come together.

The Lord looked upon the Earth and said, “I SHALL CHOOSE THE PLACE WHERE MY FIRST BEGOTTEN SON SHALL BE BORN AGAIN. FIRST HE WAS BORN IN THE LAND OF PLENTY, AND AN EASY LAND. BUT NOW HE SHALL COME FORTH IN A BARREN LAND, A HARSH LAND, YET IT SHALL BE OF PLENTY.” And there He brought forth upon the Earth the one known to you as Jesus of Nazara.

It is written that the last shall be first and the first shall be last. And how can this be so? Why could at one point of a lifetime a man be born in a garden of plenty with every con­ceivable thing he should want, and yet, could not see the wisdom within it; yet the same man be cast upon the earth in a barren land, as the land of the cholla?

You, who study the land and the people, we say unto you, look unto the fertile crest, in the sand of the Magi, and you shall find it, in land, much as this.

But you, who should come into a time of the before times, in the time of Quetzalcoatl − we say unto you that this time shall be as a dividing time, that the Lord’s great Sword shall strike both land and land masses, and people. And those who should be straight with God shall go one way, and those who shall not be straight with God shall go another. And the land and the land masses, where water flowed no water shall flow. Where no water flowed water shall flow. The land shall come apart, and yet, be born again.

The beginning shall begin now. You shall come together to celebrate this time. Some shall come in fear, and yet it is not a time of fear. It is a time of greatness.

It has been said that you look at the clouds and you know that you have a time for planting. You look at the seasons and you know the time it is.

Yet now, we say unto you, now is the time for the harvest of the soul and the spirit.

Can you not see it? [See Matthew 24:30–36 or Mark, chapter 13.]

Have we not told you so?

For we say unto you, the greatness and the greatest of all things shall become upon your Earth once again. This time you shall know, and there shall be no doubt in the minds of the doubter. [See John 20:24–31.]

But approach it in a peaceful manner. Approach it in a manner of prayer, of dignity. Give it the dignity that it deserves.

But those who would look upon the desert lands and see the barren and waste, there is no waste in the desert land; everything is used. Because the water is scarce the Lord saw fit to hold great amounts of water beneath the earth. Yet it shall blossom, and become a garden once again. For much like the other lives that a man may live, so shall parts of the Earth. It has proved its worth; now it shall prove its kind.

We have left many questions in your minds.

We say unto you, all the land was the land of Quetzalcoatl, “the People….”

And you have asked unto yourself, “What became of the great Hohokam people? And who and how did the Pima come about?”

Photo of the Great House at the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument by Sirrobin33 at the English language Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=7211967

And we would answer your question first, that the Pima and the Hohokam were of one. But they were of a clan and of a different clan. Those who lived, what as you know as the Phoenix area now, some left this planetary substance; others fled the land, because of two reasons − one, of a great climate change, the other, of great illness, that that you know of as Valley Fever.

They spread upward, but the Pima people were the core, or the center of the Hohokam. And the land that they chose to dwell upon was a clean land without disease or problems. They chose to remain upon the Earth to till the land, to bring the knowledge of “the People” to the people. The fertile crescent you shall find shall be as old as that that should exist in Africa and that that should exist of the Sumer people. And these people that you speak of, and we speak of, were of the Sumer people, as you would know them, the Sumerians. It is where you get your word, “the good Samaritan,” because of their good deeds.

The greatest gift unto these people was the gift that they could give unto others. And they left upon the land the greatest knowledge. They left upon the land the only knowledge that could make this land grow fertile and grow − the land of the agriculture, the land of the moon cycles, the land and knowledge of all mineralogy. They brought forth unto you the knowledge of mathematics, of astronomy, of astrology, of microchemistry. They gave you both the material of the cotton, of the corn, and many others which you use today. And they gave them freely from the heart, because they knew that a gift given must be given expecting nothing in return − even unto the land of the Shining Mountain, which was given unto them by the Great Keeper.

And all the prophecies that were before shall be again.

And hear unto us now unto these words − for look unto the 16th of August, on the time of Quetzalcoatl, and you shall know the link between you, and that he walked among you and he gave you a great gift, and you have given it unto all mankind.

Yet it shall be given again.

Now is the time of the cherubim.

July 31, 1987: Yes, we see thy need, and we should answer in this manner and in this way. For we shall tell you the parable of the four worlds.

For in the beginning, God brought forth the seven spirits and said to them, “GO OUT AND PLANT A FIELD, AND WHEN THE FIELD IS RIPE BRING FORTH UNTO ME THE HARVEST.”

And so, the seven spirits went forth to plant the fields. And the first year they came back with many excuses, one blaming the other, because the harvest was not as they thought it should be.

The Lord said, “GO YE BACK AND PLANT MY FIELDS, AND DO NOT RETURN UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE IT IN HARMONY, AND TOGETHER, AS ONE.”

Days passed. Years passed. Thousands of years passed. And then one day the seven angels came back before the Lord, God, and with them they brought an abundant harvest. And they were jubilant, one unto another.

And the Lord looked upon them and He said, “NOW GO YE FORWARD AND CREATE THE WORLD.”

And so they went forth and they created a perfect world, when each and every thing within it was fruitful, and bore fruit. There were no deserts. There was no winters. There was just but spring, and all the fruits in abundance that came with summer.

And the Lord looked unto this world and said, “THIS IS DESERVING OF MY CHILDREN. BUT YET, MY CHILDREN SHALL NOT FARE WELL THERE. GO YE THERE AND BUILD ANOTHER WORLD.”

And so the next world that they built was a bountiful world, but it had darkness, both night and day, and the waters were split away into [firmament] and the lands.

And the Lord looked upon it and said, “MY CHILDREN SHALL NOT FARE WELL HERE EITHER. GO YE FORTH AND BUILD ANOTHER WORLD.”

This time the spirits were becoming weary. They were beginning to ask, “What is it that our Lord wishes?” We have built in harmony and we have built together. We have built the best, and only the best, that we knew. We have placed nothing bad or evil in these worlds. But we shall build Him a new, a world, if that is what You wish.

But they went forth unto Lord and they said, “Lord, tell us what You wish placed unto this world.”

The Lord said, “USE THE WISDOM THAT YOU LEARNED IN PLANTING THE FIELDS.”

So they created a new world. This one had mountains and valleys and deserts and forests, and oceans and lakes, and all things. It had the fowl of the air. It had the beasts of the earth. It had the fish of the water. And they went back unto the Lord.

And the Lord looked upon it and said, “BUILD ME ONE OTHER EARTH.”

And they looked upon it, and said, “Lord, it has all the things that we learned.”

The Lord said unto them, “FIRST, DID YOU NOT LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL UPON THIS PLACE? BUILD ME AN EARTH THAT CONTAINS ALL THESE THINGS.”

And so they went about building an earth, an earth that had both good and evil, an earth great in abundance of all things, even unto the deserts, and beneath the earth water was placed, and many other [firmaments].

And the Lord looked upon them and said, “NOW, BUILD ME A LAST EARTH, A NEW WORLD. AND MY CHILDREN SHALL GROW FROM EACH ONE, ONE UNTO ANOTHER.”

Now, we shall say unto you, the earth, the new earth that the Lord has given unto you, shall open unto you.

Upon August the 16th it shall be opened. It shall begin to open at sunset August the 15th. And it shall begin to close at the sunrise, August the 17th.

Go unto your place of worship. And you shall take in your hands that of the yellow corn, and that of the white corn, and since you do not have that of the black corn or blue corn you may substitute it with flour mixed with ashes. The first circle shall be in the motion of the clock; the second shall be in the opposite motion of the clock; and the third shall be in the motion of the clock once again. Do not break the circle. You shall have an opening, therefore, into the new world.

All those things you wish to leave behind write them up on a paper, and once you are inside of the circle burn them.

All those things, that you would have if you were resurrected––which you shall be when you enter your new world––you shall leave behind. You shall leave behind the reason for reincarnation.

Yet, it is not to say that in this next world you shall not build new karma. But it is the Lord’s way of making you right before the coming of what you would call, the Messiah. Some would…call him Quetzalcoatl; others would call him [Wicca]; others would call him Jesus; the name meaning [ ], only to yourselves. But if you wish the pathway to your Father’s mansions, a doorway has been set.

You shall cleanse your body and make it ready the night before. You shall wash your body, and you shall wash your hair. This shall be done on the 14th. You must stay in your houses on this night. Therefore, prepare the food necessary that you do not have to leave your houses, making yourselves ready that you may enter with a new mind and a new body, and coming before God with a clean soul.

The words we speak shall be hard at first for you to understand fully. We have said before, we have but one purpose, and that is for the coming and the preparation for the coming of the Messiah. We come but for that.

You have many questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. We have a group question. How many times and in how many places will this vortex open and for how long a period? Thank you, Aka.”

We have answered the last. The vortex will be open from the night of the 15th until the morning of the 17th.

We say unto you, for the fourth year − into the fourth year, four times a year, in the cycling of your moon, the vortex will open and close. You should make time and space, that those who wish to cleanse themselves and enter into the world, that they may come from many places to pass through this.

There is another vortex in Egypt, in that that you know as the pyramid of Giza, into the new chamber; yet, it shall not be used. There is another into the tree of Quetzalcoatl. Many shall gather, but few will enter or know the way to enter.

You must realize in the beginning this was given into five places. And into all of those there was the time to be built and a place to be set aside, where your atmospheric conditions would be right with the calendar and be right with the barometric conditions of your Earth. Due to the fact − that in the years prior to this, in the many years, one by one they have felled aside, and they forgot the way − and they did not prepare their people with the opening of the head − all but one has been [set] and not made ready. Now you have one.

Open your door − for those who knock may enter.

There are certain things that may be done in other places. We shall not mention of them, for they must be done of their own free choice.

But we say unto you unto these words, soul Ray’s mind knows how to open a vortex, if the atmospheric conditions are right and if it comes in the right moon cycle.

Do you understand of which we speak?

“Yes, Aka.”

You have questions, ask.

“Thank you Aka.____ ________ asks, ‘At what age is a person responsible for their actions toward the vortex or are they aware at every age?’”

A person does not enter into puberty, from childhood into adulthood, until the 13th year. All who have passed the 13th year is responsible for their own acts. No one may be forced through the doorway; they must pass, and [the] only way they can pass is with an open mind and an open desire to pass through. Otherwise, even though they walk through the door they shall be denied entry.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you Aka. R_____ H______ asks, ‘How……many times…[the opening] for the Hopi, the…and the Hohokom people? Thank you, Aka.’”] [Editor’s note: the question on the tape could not be heard clearly.]

Within a short time period, should your study groups continue, these things shall be provided that you need. Seek and you shall find. Look and you shall see.

It is like the word you use so often, yet know not the meaning of, the word, love. Love is all around you every day. So is knowledge.

And the knowledge you seek is all around you, so close to you as your breath. The knowledge you seek you see, all the time.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. A group question − is there any limit to what we may leave in this Fifth World?”

No, there is no limit. Yet we say unto you, do not throw away the better parts of yourself in believing. Take with you even the part of you that some, or even yourselves, may not think the righteous.

And we shall explain to you in this manner. When a man walks up to a river, and he sees the river, and he says to himself, “I shall build a boat and cross this river” − and when he builds the boat and he crosses the river, and he sees people who want to go back, and he starts a business going back and forth across river − and he realizes that there are more people than one boat can carry, and so he builds a second boat, and a third, and fourth, this is not greed. It comes from the very heart and from the spirits of God.

Look at the heavens and see the vastness of it. Look at the universe, and galaxies beyond galaxies, and tell us that that that the Lord, God, built there − He built it for the beauty of it, for the need of it, for the want of it. None of these things are sins. What one person would consider a sin would not be a sin to another. “Judge not lest ye be judged.” Take through the doorway that which you desire, and the Lord shall accept you in that manner.

You have other questions, ask.

“Yes. Thank you, Aka. M____ _____ who is here tonight asks, ‘Could the contamination from mining in this area be the reason that I and most of the people are not breathing so well. If so, how is it affecting my body?’”

We would answer your question in this manner, we see your need. And we would say, under normal conditions the mining does not affect you at all. The smelting could affect you because, you are learning, certain acids are released into the air, but as long as this is done in a sensible manner that is not harming you––if you are harmed in any manner at all, it would be due to the acid content, and that would cause the red cell structure to alter in its size and shape, and cause the red cells to become more abundant. This is a condition that is true in any area; it is true in the area you have come from. Because of pollutants this factor was true. You probably have cleaner air and cleaner water than you have had in years where you are now.

You have other questions, ask….

“No, Aka, at this time we do not have any questions.”

Then we shall answer −

If you wish to enter this world, wish it in your heart. But you must make the effort to do so. Then bring the candle, that you may pass through, to light the way.

Now is the time of the cherubim.

One by one, each person brought a lit candle representing his or her soul to place in the center of the circle and star in the new world. Ray escorted each safely across the boundary of the vortex.

And we say unto you, you have taken one more step, closer. But remember, even when you pass through, you do not pass away from the time that is also about you, and that is the time of the Anti-Christ, for all the temptation[s] of that time shall go with you. For it will be born anew in this world, and it must be dissolved in that world.

You have asked and you have received. And so, as this has been written, it has been said and it has been done.

August 7, 1987: Some of you here do not understand that that we speak, or how we speak, or why.

What we are saying to you is to be born again is to lay aside all of your transgressions. It is also to lay aside all others’ transgressions.

When you go through, from one world unto another, these things must be left behind. You may pass through a world and take through that which you wish to, but the passing will have meant nothing if you take your karma with you.

There are many parables that have been told unto you by those who are much wiser than us. And they have told you, forgive; lay aside; walk away from these things. The one who we are here to prepare the way for has told you, time and time again, the same thing we are trying to say now.

There are many of you who think that the passing from one world unto another − if you wish for knowledge and you thirst for it, and you leave those things behind you, then the knowledge you thirst for shall be there.

We say unto you in this manner, and we say these words for soul Ray, for we see in him a reluctance to perform the ritual that shall be needed. And yet, there is no other to do this for you, for he must perform what is known as the birthing ritual, that you may pass through the world clean. It must be his decision, and we cannot make it for him.

[Editor’s note: these words were spoken a week before the Corn Ceremony of August 16, 1987.]

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. I have a question from C____ A____…Albuquerque, New Mexico, and she asks if she should come to Globe or is there another place in the mountains near Albuquerque to go for this conversion?”

We shall answer your question once again. You have come forth to find and seek out that which is needed for the spiritual fulfillment of yourself and those of your loved ones. We say unto you, nay, the time is now. You have been called before this, and the words have meant something to you before. Do not they mean as much to you now? Is not your need for growth as great as it was before?

When your father passed over, you had many doubts in your mind. Now is the time to make your own soul peace. “Ask and you shall receive.” But greater than asking takes an effort upon your own part. You must pass through on your own because that is what you want, and it must take the effort to do so. With the knowledge you shall have, make an effort that allows your friends to know that they too may pass through….

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. I only have a life reading from S___ L________.”

Not at the present time. There will be no more life readings until after the 16th. There is two reasons for this − one, your time is too short, too precious.

Questions you should have asked you have not asked. And we shall try and answer these. The greatest reason that we shall not give life readings until after is because there will be those who shall wish to pass forth and be born again. This may sound strange unto some.

This will begin the 14th, the 15th, the 16th, and end on the 17th morning at sunrise. Some of you will have thought that this is the same length of time and the same time, that your rituals were held, to be held, the time when that that was known as Jesus Christ was crucified. The time span from 1:00 to 9:00 was the time that he lived upon a cross, and therefore, shall be the full resurrection.

Quetzacoatl, as you would know him, and the one known as Jesus of Nazareth are one of the same.

But the Lady of Guadalupe and the Mother Mary are the same. Do you think that the right hand of God would touch one part of the continent without touching all?

The Lady of Guadalupe

Yet, as we came in five places upon your Earth, and so, because of the great pressures applied to the instruments that were chosen, because of the hardships that were placed upon them, they fell away. Some, because of the powers given unto them, tried to use them to become gods into themselves. This is why, at the present time, you have one place of entry.

For it is our hope that in the four years that is to come, and on upon the moon cycles, that soul Ray will have found those that he can train to allow those to pass through, in making the pass through, or pass over, as you would call it, or resurrection, as we would call it. But there are those that could be trained. He will know these when he sees them.

And hopefully, other places will be made ready.

But from where he stands, he knows how to open the portal any place on the Earth that he wishes. But at the present time, the easiest place and the place that we have made ready is what you would call your chapel at Dripping Springs, because both the healing springs and the chapel exist and [has] made ready for this time.

Before this time, on what you call the back side of the dam, of the healing springs, should be cleaned out, that the water shall be allowed to cleanse itself and be ready. For there will be those who will choose baptism at that time.

We say unto you, you had a pure harvest. Bring that of the purest and best of your, what you would call your prickly pear juice, and it shall be made into wine that day. But bring it.

August 15, 1987, the spiritual messengers of God spoke the day before the Corn Ceremony was to be given at a church to God: Yes, we see thy need. We should say in this manner and in this way. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God; glory be the name of His children forever and ever.

And we say unto you, for now shall be the time of the transference, or transformation.

For as it has been written by Daniel and by John that the time would come when the new world would begin, and the new world shall be the time after the half times − and so it is. [See Isaiah 65:16–19, Isaiah 66:20–23, 2 Peter 3:13 and The Revelation 3:12 and chapters 21–22.]

And we say unto you, hark, for those who have eyes to hear [see], hear and for those who have ears. We say unto you, fear not.

But as you should walk through the doorway, make certain that you prepare yourself.

We have told you before of a time that the body should be cleansed. And now we shall tell you of the second part, and that is a time of the cleansing of the soul. For as you begin to go through the doorway you will be asked, “Is your soul ready? Are you prepared?”

If you are not prepared, say, “No, my soul and spirit is not ready.” If you need help all you must do is ask for it.

“Ask and you shall receive.”

But remember, for those who walk through the door, the mark of the Beast shall never be put upon them, or can be put upon them. [See The Revelation 20:4–6.]

The day of transformation is before you.

It will open, and can be opened from 1:00 o’clock, p.m., tomorrow until 9:00 o’clock, p.m. But all things must be ready and prepared.

It has been a long time, 3,000 years since this has happened….

[See the SEPT/OCT 1987 and JAN/FEB/MAR 1997 newsletters of the Association of Universal Philosophy to know more about the Corn Ceremonies.]

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. M______ H________, who is also here tonight, asks, ‘Please describe my future work with humanity in this life.’”

Preparation of the coming of the Messiah — the preparation of your body and your soul. But beyond and before all other things, allow tomorrow to pass, and see for yourself of that which you enter. And then go and tell others who are in need.

You have other questions, ask.

“One question in general, Aka, ‘The Hopi believe that we are coming into the fifth world; the sacred calendar says it’s the sixth world. Can you please verify?’”

We shall answer in this manner. In the interpretation of one language into another, and back into English again, should be difficult for all. It is of the same.

But let me ask you a question, from all of you into your hearts. If you were in the desert and the Lord provided water and food, and you knew it came from the Lord, would you ask Him from which world? Or would you take it?

In the same desert, if the Lord provided you a good river with abundance of water, would you not plant the land and make it fruitful? Would you wonder which world it came from?

Fall colors line the banks of the San Pedro River, one of several tributaries to the Gila Rover. The San Pedro River is a northward-flowing stream originating about 10 miles (16 km) south of the international border south of Sierra Vista, Arizona, in Cananea Municipality, Sonora, Mexico. The river starts at the confluence of other streams (Las Nutrias and El Sauz) just east of Sauceda, Cananea. Within Arizona, the river flows 140 miles (230 km) north through Cochise County, Pima County, Graham County, and Pinal County to its confluence with the Gila River, at Winkelman, Arizona. The first people to enter the San Pedro Valley were the Clovis people who hunted mammoth here from 10,000 years ago. The San Pedro Valley has the highest concentration of Clovis sites in North America.[6] Some Clovis sites of note are the Lehner Mammoth-Kill Site, the Murray Springs Clovis Site and the Naco Mammoth-Kill Site. The hunter-gatherer, Cochise Culture next made this area home between about 5000 to 200 BC. Followed by the more advanced Mogollon, Hohokam and Salado cultures who built permanent homes and engaged in agriculture here. By the time the first Europeans arrived these cultures had disappeared and the San Pedro River was home to the Sobaipuri people.

These two that you call, from the Mayan to the Hopi, are not the same, yet they are. For they come from what you would know as the sons of God. But greater than this, as you would know of the time of Moses and the time when the Lord, thy God, gave forth His Ten Commandments, and gave them unto the people, they all came, and all were of one. You have studied your migrations. Know this, that the Lord put seed upon all land. The knowledge and the greater plan of the Lord is but one.

Your religions, as you would know them, are like the bouquet that your bring before the Lord; it is all beautiful. This, and what the Lord gives back, is beautiful. Accept it, that you shall learn more of it and the truth of the answers as you proceed to your next step.

You have entered the valley. All the things that were provided for this valley were provided long ago. A time and a place were set aside long ago.

The road that leads into the valley was called Christmas Star Route. The mine nearby was named, Christmas, because the claim was staked on Christmas day, 1902. The community around it, Christmas, Arizona, became famous, especially at Christmas time, when people from all over the world sent cards and packages there to be postmarked from Christmas. But after Christmas mine closed in 1982, and then the Christmas mining community and Christmas post office, Christmas star route was changed to Dripping Springs road. Later all the star routes in the area were renamed rural routes. But the meaning and the purpose of Christmas still remains there. One can follow the Christmas star on this route or pathway, guided by angels, to a little church in the valley dedicated to God, where all faiths are welcome.

The pathway that was guided into this valley, and even its name was given for a reason.

For much as the name of Bethlehem would be from one place, so would this be from another.

Tomorrow the vortex shall be opened, and the sphere shall be opened. Respect it, with all that you have, and it shall respect you.

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka; at this time I have no more questions.”

Then we shall answer that which lies [up most] in your minds. You will find this land has been prepared quietly. Those among you who shall receive the blessing, you will know of it, and know the truth of it, in your own hearts.

We shall tell you a parable. The parable is of a small child, a little girl who used to climb upon the mountain, and there on the mountain grew a wild rose. And she went each day to talk to it. And if the water and the rains did not come she took it water. It was her private place. Yet the rose responded to her tender care.

And she thought to herself, “It is so beautiful. I must share this with others.” Then a part of her said, “This is my private place; I cannot share it with anyone else. If I do, it will not be mine anymore.”

But yet, she grew sad in her heart. Such a beautiful thing could not be shared with the world. She began to cry, and her tears fell upon the ground and nurtured the rosebush. And the rose responded tenfold, and grew even larger and more beautiful.

And she looked upon it, and she said, “If the rose responded to my tears I know it would respond to the others.”

So she went forth into the village where she lived, and she told a few people. And she said, “It is so beautiful you shall cry when you see it.”

And everyone who came before it shed tears, and it grew − greater, more beautiful.

And it became known as the “crying rose.”

One day, a man came and saw such a beautiful thing and he said, “I shall make a profit from it. I shall buy the land up,” [and when he looked at] it, “I shall charge anyone who should see it.” And so he bought the land, and he built a huge building around it, and began to charge anyone who would see it. But each day, the rose shrunk, and began to wilt away and die.

The man went to the little girl and said, “What shall I do? The rose is dying?”

And the little girl said, “Turn it free.”

He said, “What? If I do that I will lose all the money I have put in.”

And she said unto him, “There once was a time when I, and I alone, knew of the rose. And because I loved it and wanted to share it with the world, I told others. And you came and you found it, and your greed took over. Now you have built a building around it where it cannot receive sunshine, where it cannot receive the things it needs to nurture itself.”

The man thought long. Then he went out and instructed his people to take down the building and the fences, and remove all things that he had put there. And the rose blossomed, and blossomed again.

And one day the men who worked for him came, and they had a great bucket of money, and said, “This is yours.”

And he said, “For what? Where would I get such amount of money?”

And they said, “Well, when we finished our work and removed all things except for this bucket which laid on the road to the rose, because people appreciated your allowing them to be there, they gave donations. And this is for you.”

The man, seeing it, could not accept such a thing, and he went to the little girl and said, “Here. Here, you take this money.”

The little girl said, “No. The rose has given me a greater thing.”

The man, [he] realized something, that both the little girl and the rose had given him something greater than money could buy. And so, the man took the money and he built a chapel, that the people might stop and pray along the way and thank God for such beauty. And so, his soul was fed, and his spirit.

So tomorrow, when you are asked if your soul is ready and your spirit, you will know how to answer.

Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God. Glory be the name of His children, forever and ever. Now is the time of the cherubim.

Editor’s comments: On August 16 and 17, 1987, there was an “harmonic convergence” of the planets. Some felt this facilitated the opening of a vortex to the new world, or a new heaven and new earth. This guidance, from Aka, spiritual messengers of God, was given on the eve before the opening, at a church to God.

Ray Elkins, at the last minute, had agreed he would serve as an instrument or prophet in giving a sacred Corn Ceremony, to open a pathway into the new heaven and new earth promised in prophesies long awaited. More than 50 people came to join in this sacred ceremony.

As the prophet began the ceremony, three circles were made (of three colors of corn flour), to encircle a star of David (also of corn flour), which was drawn out onto the church floor, so that the new world would fill the church. Ray asked the ministers and some Board members to stand at the points of the Star of David on the edge of the circle, to serve as guardians of the boundary between the two worlds, that nothing could interfere with the sacred entry of the new heaven and earth in this moment in this world.

Within the circle, the “Sacred Twins,” known to Indian peoples, were enacted by two teachers in the center as the ceremony began.

Before the ceremony, each person had written a list of those things he or she did not want to take into the new world. As Ray came to each, one at a time, around the circle, he took the list and asked the sacred twins to burn it in a ceremonial pot in the circle, cleansing his or her soul for entry into the new world.

Each person who had prepared to enter into the new heaven and new earth held a lit candle representing the light of his or her soul. One at a time, as Ray walked up to receive it, Ray accepted the lit candle and placed it within the center, in the middle of the Star of David, which was encircled by three colors of corn flour that had been blessed and became the entrance way into the new world.

During the ceremony, Ray came to each person who gathered outside the circle, to ask if he or she was prepared and wished to enter into the new world. If he or she said, yes, he led this one in. Ray asked this one if he or she wished to become one of the People? If yes, Ray placed three marks of the colors of corn on one of this one’s forearm. Ray then asked this one if he or she wished to accept the mark of the Eagle? If he or she said, yes, Ray placed three marks of corn upon the other forearm. Ray asked if this one wished to receive the opening of the top of the head, and sprinkled a vortex of corn flour above the top of the head. He also asked if they wished to receive the giver of the gift, and said to some, the Holy Spirit, each according to their faith. If he or she answered, yes, Ray placed a mark of corn on this one’s forehead, blessing him or her with a gift of Spirit sent from God.

As the sacred Corn Ceremony began at a church to God, Ray Elkins, serving as prophet and Eagle, held three colors of corn flour he had blessed. Rose Elkins had drawn three circles of corn flour around a Star of David. Ray opened a gateway into the new world. He began the ceremony by asking Rose the questions of initition. In this picture he asks, “Do you wish to receive the giver of the gift?” As she answers, “yes,” Ray annoints her with a mark of corn on her forehead, blessing her with a spiriual gift from God. She holds out her arms on which he had previously placed three marks of the three colors of corn flour. Ray had asked her if she wanted to become one of the People, and if she would accept the mark of the Eagle. Then he asked if she wished to receive the opening of the top of the head before sprinkling a vortex of corn flour ovr her head. Next, Ray repeated the ceremonial questions for each person, after he asked if he or she wished to enter the new world. If Ray was answered, yes, he took each by the hand, one at a time. He led each into the sacred circle, to be initiated to pass into the new world.

A powerful, peaceful, loving energy radiated within the sacred corn circle–– it was pure energy, like something made all anew. Within the circle pure, clean energy radiated — it seemed to have no persona but was pure, perfect light without form or being, without beginning or end. In the circle burned the candles, the lights of the souls that the prophet had delivered into the new heaven and new earth. They stayed lit within it throughout the night and next day until sundown, shimmering in the far more powerful spiritual glow — as symbols of the peoples’ souls standing amidst all this radiance and love in the new world. It was a great blessing to be in this new world.

The gateway which had been brought down to make an opening into the new heaven and earth for this time of harmonic convergence continued to shine within the sacred corn circle throughout the night and into the next day, for the appointed time.

Those who participated will always remember it, for it will remain forever — it was given within our souls, to know.

September 4, 1987 [for the Association]: Yes, we see thy need, and we should answer in this manner, in this way. 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, as you have passed from one world into another, in so doing we have told you there would be persecution, for you chose to separate yourselves from those who could wear the mark of the Beast, and in doing so, they would attack you, and try to persecute you for many reasons, and in many ways. But ask yourself these questions. For whom have you chosen this way − for yourselves, or your children, and for the generations to come?

Long ago, we told you of a time that would come. And this time has come.

But yet, the Lord does not leave you without protection, for your minds are strong. And with the gift of [mind] and the gift of mind power there are many things that you may do to change the path of those who would attack you.We have told you before, should those come and try to burn your fields, turn the fire back toward them with your minds. This you may do so now.

But remember, now is the time not to shout or to explode your emotions, but to control those emotions. Do not allow these people to close your mind. Do not allow this to happen. The only way they may harm you is that should you close your minds once again and leave being one of the people, for you are the Corn People. In entering, you became a pathway for others. We tried in every way to show you what could come, and the energy that could come, and be with you. That, what came from the center of the vortex, you carry now within you. It is of one. But you, if you stand together, as one, none of these people may harm you. They will try.

At a time, not yet, we shall bring an attorney into your lives, that the attorney may be needed; not yet, but at a different time. For they now violate your civil rights. Remember this.

Also remember, do not let them isolate you. If they should come for one, let all go, and be present. And if they should say unto one, let all hear. Stand together, and this way, and only in this way, they cannot defeat you.

If one should come to one of you and say, “Come, come into this private room and I shall speak to you,” do not go into this private room.

Say instead, “No, I shall wait, and go with you when I have others of the Corn People with me.” Be sure that you go in groups of three always.

We told you a long time ago, the “threes and thirteen.” As you came together and performed [either] ceremony of the Corn People, the ceremony of Life, we saw your need. We did not desert you; you did not stand alone.

September 18, 1987: We say unto you, there are many things that happen in your time, and shall happen.

And for he who led the Corn People through the doorway, he shall have more than his share of testing. There are many things now that he feels he must do. Be patient. For we have come but for one reason − the preparation for the coming of the Messiah. We pass through this instrument with his per­mission and his love….

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. ‘Dear Aka, I am confused; I read that the Seal of Solomon was a five-pointed star, and I have heard that it was a six-pointed star. Can you please tell me which is correct? Thank you, [9–360–1].’”

One simple form of the Seal of Solomon. Sketched by Securiger, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=5401795. The symbol Ray asked to be drawn on the church floor with three colors of corn flour was similar, except that the points were candles placed outside of the circles. A guardian was appointed to stand at the tip of each point of the star to protect the vortex, or gateway, from being broken. The star was surrounded by three circles of the different colors of corn which were laid out in the order Aka instructed.

We say unto you, the Star of David is the Star of Solomon, and is the star given forth by the Lord, thy God, for His people. As we have given it forth unto the Corn People, so it should be the sign.

The Star of David in the oldest surviving complete copy of the Masoretic text, the Leningrad Codex, dated 1008.

But in the center of the star place there a symbol of the three corns − on the outside of the star, the three circles of corn, a completeness. Allow room for the cortex [vortex], the center.

Yes, we see thy need, and we say unto you, we shall place in soul Ray’s mind the symbol of life….

You have other questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. [11–05–4…Houston, Texas] asks if you can give her a message pertaining to her destiny?”

The word, destiny, is a permanent word, which covers a great deal of space. Rather than destiny, we would say, your choice. Your choice shall be that now you have entered and become one of the People, so you shall spread the seed of the Corn. There shall be others who shall wish to enter, but they must hear from yourself and others a truth. Your own destiny is so intertwined that it must be the destiny of all people. For the good shall be of the one and of the many − yet, the one shall be of the many.

September 25, 1987, the spiritual messengers of God, Aka, said: Yes, we see thy need. And we should say unto thee unto these words. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God. Glory be the name of His children forever and ever.

And we say unto you this parable in this manner and in this way.

The Lord, God, sent forth His messengers. And they went forth upon the land, and they went forth unto many places, unto many religions. And the messengers did say unto them, “Harken to our words, for soon upon the Earth the half-times shall be over and the full time shall come about.”

There were some people who needed not the message, for they and their ancestors had waited for many years for these words. But for those who did need the words, they came unto them and they said, “There shall come upon the Earth a great time, when all religions shall walk together, and they shall become the bouquet of the Father. Come together.”

And so, the preachers heard. But rather than go themselves, each sent a representative. And each went into the designated place, which was a valley. And when they arrived, each day that they went there they built each fires and let them burn into the heavens. At first their fires burned separate and apart, each standing to his own fire. But gradually, one by one, they began to join. And when finally all had joined did they begin to discuss why they were there.

And it was decided that each one would speak out and say that which he would. And so it went, all the way around.

And at the end, suddenly there was one who had not been planned for. He stood and said, “Have you not expected me? Do you not know that this is the time? My Father has sent for you. And He has sent me to your father, and your father sent you, his representative. And I say unto you these words, go back unto your fathers and tell them that my Father wishes to speak to them.”

The next day they all broke camp, and they went into the many lands, back unto their many religions. And into each one, councils were drawn and words were said. And each said, “We have told the world that each of our religions are the only way. How can now we go and meet with this one who says that he shall be the Son of God, the Father? How can we all walk in and say, ‘All of your ways are right?’”

They discussed this for a long time. And time passed, and the Earth went on warring. And man, whose deserts formed upon the good land and the fertile land, wasted away.

And then one day the assistants all became the leaders, and they met once again. And they said, “Let us go back to this place. Maybe God shall forgive us.”

And they went back unto this place. And they formed unto one fire. And they talked, all around. And they decided that their religions were not so far apart. And then, they had the council once again. And as each spoke, unto the last came the first, and he said, “Now you shall listen unto my Father.”

We have told you a parable, a parable of time, of faith.

Ask yourselves, do you have so much time to waste that you can continue to fight over your religions?

Now is the time of the cherubim. The half-times are no more. The Lord has made ready to collect His debt.

You have many questions, ask.

“Thank you, Aka. Last week you asked [10–391–5] and [10–391–4] [need to be present.] They are here tonight, Aka.”

We see. And we have before us the body, the soul, the mind and the spirit. And we say unto you, greetings. For now that you have been schooled and made ready, you shall walk among people who shall not quite be ready for you. Yet there shall be a member of the council, which shall be ready to assist you, help you. We as a council must come together as one.

Your paths shall be hard at times, at a time when you think it shall be easy. We say unto you unto these words. You have come to prepare the way. You have chosen a hard path. Yet by choosing this path, it has shown us of your desire to serve together, and serve the Lord, thy God, in full.

We say to you that soon that that is needed shall come forth, and we know that one even greater than the words we speak. But we say unto them, come forth and join the Corn people that you may be in truth and complete, and ready for your task.You have come to listen; this is good. Soon you will have questions. When you have thought, and you have decided and prepared yourselves, come back and ask the questions that you wish. Take the first of this reading and study it close….

All things that have been shall be again. When you bring your hearts forth in purity before the Lord, the Lord has never closed His eyes upon you. Do not close your eyes unto Him.

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

October 2, 1987: Yes, we see thy need, and we should say unto thee these words. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God; glory be the name of His children forever and ever.

And we say unto you, blessed be the time that man takes to make peace.

For upon the Earth there lived four brothers. Each brother lived upon his father’s farm.

Their father said unto them, “Go forth upon this land that I shall lay apart from my own and show me what you can do with it. For first, I shall give you one-fourth of the land, and that fourth you must divide into four parts.”

And so, they did so.

Two of the brothers came, one unto the other, and said, “Let us go together and work together.” And the other two decided to separate themselves from their brothers. And so they took their piece of land.

All four worked hard and did what they thought was best for the land. The two who had worked together, you could see that on their two parcels the land was thriving and growing. The other two, you could see it was growing, but it was struggling with each step it took.

And the two brothers who had stayed separate decided the father had given them the best parcels. And so they went unto their father with this grievance.

And their father said, “No, I have not given them better land; it has all been equal.”

But the other two brothers came in to hear this discussion, and they were hurt quite deeply that they would make an accusation against them and they said, “Allow our brothers to have the land we have farmed.”

And so the brothers again began to farm the land. Because the brothers who had farmed together had built the land, it was beginning to produce more. But still once again, the two brothers who farmed together, and did so in unity, began to produce much more.

And the two brothers who had farmed separately came forth and said, “Brothers, we are wrong. We’d like to join you and put all the land together. Let us farm it together. Let us each take the thing we the do best on the farm and perform the task. But the separate things that should be done should be done all together.”

And so they set out and they planted upon the ground special foods. They went into the city and they sold the foods, and they found marketplaces for their vegetables of many kinds and their fruits of many kinds. And they began to plant both nut and fruit trees in abundance.

Soon the father saw that that fourth of the land that he had given to them was producing more than all of his farm together. And the father said, “I shall join you, and we shall become equal partners in all the land.” And so they did so.

And as one year passed unto another they began to buy additional land.

But the people who lived around them became jealous of that which they had. And they began to tell lies and cast stones upon them. At first, the brothers and the father tried to reason with these people. But none of them would come out into the open to attack them; they did so from hiding. And so they went into a court of law. The court lasted long, but near the end truth prevailed. But those of the brothers and the father had spent much of what they had and it was damaging, both financially and mentally. And so they decided they did not recover that which they had lost, and they decided to pick all they had up and go to a new place and start again.

The father decided he would retire, for he could not take the heartache any longer.

Now we say unto you, the parable we have told you is much like your own situation. We shall tell you once again that an attorney shall come into your lives, and you shall use him when the time arrives. But for the present, seek out an attorney and begin to put together the pieces and the parts of the whole. When you feel you have them, then take action. Then the action shall be complete and abrupt.

Your problem with the Association is that you have divided; you have been separate, in many places instead of together.

It is only by your strength of standing together as a whole. If you begin to discuss your politics and vote the same, they shall soon find that you have strength.

If you begin to work in the com­munity and run your own people for office your strength shall grow. And those who had fought against this shall fall aside.

As we have said before, nothing from either side shall be allowed to affect this work or destroy it. You have entered into the later days, the time for the half times are over. But allow each person to make their decision to stand or walk away.

Do not hide these things from your whole of the organization; bring them out and discuss them, that they may understand the problems. Only then can they be allowed to stand with you. But be like the brothers; do not attack all the lands at once, attack a part, a small part. If you have to defend yourselves, defend first from the city, then from the county, and then from the state, and then from the government, and you shall be successful in all these things.

But we say unto you, there are other financial things that you should seek that have been placed before you that shall help you.

You have questions, ask….

We say unto you, glory be the name of the Lord, thy God; glory be the name of His children forever and ever.

Look unto the land and see that it trembles beneath you. Your California is the beginning. The earthquakes shall come forth in larger number. Bind together. Throw aside your jealousies and your petty reasons. Bind together.

November 6, 1987: Yes, we see thy need, and we shall answer in this manner and in this way. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God; glory be the name of His people forever and ever.

And we say unto you unto these words, unto this parable.

For in the desert there was a spring, an artesian spring, and it produced a small amount of water. And a few of the animals came to water there.

One day, a man came. And he looked upon the land and he said, “This is where I shall live. That I should live here, so should all of the other animals, and people, live in harmony. And so, he dug a well. And the well became as the small spring, and good, sweet artesian well. And he allowed the water to form a small pond. And as other people came they took from the well, but he laid that land aside that all the other creatures could come and drink from it and take from it. And soon, all the creatures, both those of the predator and non‑predator, came. For this was a peaceful land. This was land where no life was taken.

One day, the man thought to himself, “I must give something to this land that the rest of the land does not have, for this is a special place before my Lord.”

And so he ventured forth into the mountain city. And there he saw a plant he had never seen before. It grew and it produced beautiful flowers. And he went forth to the flower and he found it had sharp thorns. And he thought to himself, “This flower can grow in my land, for no one shall take it, for the thorns shall protect it as the other vegetation in my land has thorns.”

And so, he bought these and with them he bought grapes and apples and all sorts of fruit[s] and vegetable[s]. And he brought them forth and planted them in the land. And he planted the flowers, the roses, and they grew into a most beautiful plant.

And soon, many people from many lands came to see this miracle that grew in the desert and to see this great plant. And some would come and ask that they might get a sapling from it.

And each year [were ten planted from the] same plant, and each year he gave freely without a charge for those who would ask.

But one came and looked upon this plant and said, “I must have it, this plant; I must own it.” And all of these people who travel so far shall pay me to see it.

And so he went forth and tried to buy the plant and buy the land and the well.

The man said, “No, for I have not this to sell.”

So the man went where the records were kept, and he found fault in the way the man had purchased the land. And he drove the man from the land, and he fenced all of the land. And each day, the well stopped running a little more and the plants began to die. For the animals had stopped coming, for they could not get in. And even the bees who pollinated the land could not get in.

The man who’d been greedy and selfish had brought his family with him. And a child went out to the plant and was saddened to see that which had happened. And the child spoke to the plant, as most children will, and spoke with the mind and heart of a child in truth.

And the plant spoke back to the child, for the child had asked the plant why it was dying. And the plant told the child, for it to grow it must be free. It must receive the sunshine that had been blocked by the huge wall. It must have the birds and the bees and all the other plants and animals for company.

And the child went back to its father and pleaded with him, and said, “Father, do not let this happen.” And soon, the rest of the family had joined in with the child.

At first, the father’s heart was hardened, for he was greedy. Then he walked with the child and saw what he had done. He tore down the fences. And he found the man he had stolen the land from and said, “Can you forgive me for what I have done to you, what my greed has done?”

The man looked upon this one and said, “If the plants and the animals can forgive you, surely I can.”

And we say into you, unto the worst of times, can not you forgive? Can you not have the faith in the Lord, thy God, into His wisdom?

You have many questions, ask….

And now we say unto you, for the Tree of Life is very important. To know of it, and know of its meaning is that which you cannot ignore.

To know of the Star of David in its full meaning, to know of the sign of the corn and the hands it has been handed through and to, to know its life, one cannot be ignored without the other.

For the Corn people must have the water to grow the corn with, and the water is the spiritual substance of man and his journey through life.

For some, you shall understand our words, and some shall not. But those who seek meaning, nothing shall remain without understanding.

December 4, 1987: Yes, we see thy need, and we shall answer in this [way] and in this manner; glory be the name of the Lord thy God.

And we say unto you, behold, for the time is now. The Lord, God, should say unto you, “For the Sixth Angel stands upon your Earth. And the earth shall be cut and separated, and where no waters were, waters shall be. Islands shall appear where no islands were.”

And we say to you, behold, for the might of the Lord is at hand. Yet rejoice, for so is the time soon to come of he who we have come to prepare the way.

And even those who do not [even] realize that they are doing it are preparing the way.

Soon the Eagle and the Bear shall stand upon the same ground. And as they stand upon the same ground, if the Eagle will not act as a chicken, peace can be made − the preparation for peace.

But we say unto you, the cleansing of the earth and its reconstruction is still before you. We also said to you, the threat of nuclear war is still before you − the reality, and the greater possibility, for there are those who think that the Eagle and the Bear have grown weak and weary. As they have already taken ad­vantage of both, they shall continue to take advantage. They shall bring distrust where there should be none.

We say unto you these things. But we also say unto you the greatest of all things, the fulfillment that you have celebrated for so long, the birth of the Messiah.

Within the joy of all things and all times, is the greatest joy of walking with one’s God, walking with the Father of us all − He who cares, He who loves, He who is the giver of all.

For in the awesome twilight for all disaster the Lord shall spread His mercy upon the land. For those things we can tell you of, only of those things we know. Yet we know not fully the full plan of the Lord.

We say unto you, this new thing you have done shall bring about a great abundance, a reward. And the reward shall not yet be seen. For know this — for as we have said before, nothing shall stand in the way of this work. And nothing and no one shall conclude and exist upon this Earth or any other place who should not also prepare and be….

Come see part 5 of The Valley — “The land of the ‘7’ was laid aside to be a sacred place

From the valley of the Lord — to a vision of a valley — to a promised land — to step into the new world, the spiritual messengers of God guide their flock of people.

In part 1, “The Valley and the Lord’s People,” begins with a vision of a valley, where Ray Elkins rested while he was returning down the ladder from God. Ray gathered strength in this beautiful place before he entered back into his body. Was it a glimpse of heaven, a dream, or a vision? The spiritual messengers of God, Aka, spoke many parables through Ray’s unconscious body from 1970 to 1989 when he had walked up a ladder to stand with God. And soon, a valley also came to be known as a hidden place in the quiet of the mind where God dwells, to which each of us can go.

In part 2, “A Vision of a Valley,” the spiritual messengers of God led those who sought a safe place to a valley. And the vision became real. A place was being prepared in hearts, and upon the land, for the coming of the Messiah. A church was built within the soul, and in the valley, and was dedicated to God.

In part 3 of The Valley, “A Promised Land,” is given. Amazing blessings unfold. A sacred healing springs awakens to life. The words Ray heard when he was returning from his journey to God into a valley take on even greater meaning. They become a promise of the future — the gift of a new heaven and a new earth upon the Earth.

In part 4, some who come to the valley take “A Step into the New World.” The spiritual messengers of God, Aka, bring into being a sacred Corn Ceremony that had not been performed for 3,000 years. A pathway is opened into the new world. Those who enter become the People, in the preparation for the coming of the Messiah. The Messiah’s consciousness is felt throughout the world.

In part 5, Aka says, “The Land of the ‘7’ Was Laid Aside to Be a Sacred Place.” The spiritual messengers of God tell legends of an ancient time in the world preceding this one — before earth changes brought a migration to this land. Soon will be time for another migration. Yet, the new heaven and new earth on Earth can begin within each soul at any time. In the final three of the four sacred Corn Ceremonies, spiritual messengers of God, through Ray, initiated those who entered the new world into the ancient Nakuna priesthood. They became one of the People, March 16–18, 1988, August 26–28, 1988, and Easter weekend, March 24, 1989, and stepped into this new world — a new heaven and earth upon Earth.

A stairway to Heaven

Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, arrived in late March 1970, with a brilliant heavenly light. We are here...to prepare a way for the coming of the Messiah.
