The 1989 Readings
“Are we but one crying in the wilderness? Can you not hear us? Can you not feel us? When we have been with you every day, are we strangers to you?
“Love one another. That is the words we give unto you, that are the same words the Messiah gave to you before. Know this, that your instrument, your prophet, bears a great knowledge that he may not even share with you. But if it is necessary, he shall give up his life for you. We plead unto you, do not make this necessary − for if he does, this world shall lose for all time, not just for now.
“We speak to you with the words of our Father, who dearly loves you.” (Spiritual messengers of God, Aka, December 4, 1981)
In their last reading through Ray Elkins, August 30, 1989, the spiritual messengers of God said: And we would tell you goodbye, but we shall not. We will tell you these words. For we come but for one purpose, and one purpose only − for the preparation for the coming of the Messiah. So did your soul Ray come for but one purpose and prepared himself, that he might prepare the way for the coming of his brother. We say unto you, that the last be first and the first be last, that the words of the Lord shall be glorious in all places and all times….
Now is the time of the cherubim. We shall tell you to take the readings, take this reading, give them to the world. Give them to the people. Put wings upon it; set it free.

Aka is here.
“Good evening Aka, where is soul Ray?”
Soul Ray stands with God.
Yes, we see thy need, and we shall answer your question in this manner and in this way. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God, and glory be the name of His children forever and ever.
And we say unto you, for we shall give you this parable. Some of you shall understand the parable; some of you shall not. Some shall interpret it to suit themselves; some of you will interpret it as it has been given.
For upon the land there were two brothers. Each had brought his flock into the valley, and the valley was green and bountiful.
One brother said unto the other, “This valley is too good. It cannot be. Let us hasten from this place, for I know bad things shall come unto us.”
And the other brother said unto him, “No, brother, I shall not go from this valley. If you go you shall go, but I shall stay.”
The other brother said, “But our flock shall perish.”
The other brother just turned his head and went about tending the flocks. And the flocks began to multiply.
And the one brother planted crops.
And the other brother said, “We should not plant the crops, for if we plow the land surely bad things shall come on us.”
But yet, where the land was planted it grew an abundance of crops, and from the lake in the valley the fish multiplied. Everything within the valley was within harmony. Yet, the brother continued to tell the other what a horrible place this was and surely they would perish.
One day there came into the valley a great bird, the largest bird they had ever seen. The bird flew through the valley and looked at each thing in it. It found a place to nest and it began to build its nest.
The one brother said, “Look, I have told you what an evil place this is. We should leave the valley now.”
The other brother said, “No, this in not an evil sign. It is a good sign, a sign from God that things are as they should be with man and nature.”
The other brother, in his own despair, plotted each day to trap the bird. The bird had not taken any of their flock nor bothered their crops, and even when the brother took his own flock and slayed it and laid it out as a trap, the bird would not touch it. The bird only took the food that nature provided for it.
And so, this brother followed and watched the bird, and one day he was successful; he did trap it. And he said unto his brother, “Now we shall have a great sacrifice, and sacrifice the bird unto the Lord, and you shall see I have been right all along.”
That night a great storm came upon the land, and it destroyed the crops and it killed the flocks.
And the one brother said, “Now I shall destroy this bird, for it is an evil thing.”
The other brother said, “No, my brother, what you have done is an evil thing, for you have taken one of God’s creatures to torment.” And he reached within and he released the bird, and the bird soared into the heavens.
And the light of the Lord looked through the bird into the light of man, and their fields were restored and so were their flocks.
Now we say unto you, as we said before in the beginning, we have come not to change your world, but we have come for the preparation for the coming of the Messiah. Some shall not see this, for they shall be blinded because they have not known. Others shall just be blinded.
But we say unto you, for if the bird [blind] shall hear and they shall see, for all that has been covered shall be uncovered, and all things before you shall be laid, that the road shall be easy and smooth before you.
But remember, we did not come to fulfill your wants. We have said unto you, for those who should follow this way, we shall see that they shall have their needs and they shall not go wanting. And so it has been.
But we also say unto you that now is also the time when the Father shall take that that is His; the bird is what is His. [Editor’s note: Within Ray was that of a vast spirit that soared the heavens and universe, yet saw the earth and people’s needs, a spirit as a great Eagle.]
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18–561–2] asks, ‘I wish to request a life reading.’”
We apologize, but soul Ray is not yet fully recovered. Give him time and give his body time to heal. You have other questions, ask.
“[18–562–1] asks, ‘Was the Messiah [ ] on July 29, 1979?’”
Nay, we say unto you these words; the Messiah is upon your earth. He shall come into his own being here in 1999 and you shall know of him, but you have touched and known and heard before this time.
For only the Lord, God, shall share that information at the time and place that He wishes. But know this: he walks among you; not as a spirit, but yet as one, for he shall be a body, a soul, a spirit and immortal body.
All things will be as they have been before; only you shall not be allowed to shed the blood of the Lamb, for the time that you wish, your thousand years, are but ahead of you. But they can begin any time you wish and be extended.
Many of you shall see him walk in the valley and shall walk with him. Believe.
[Note: The valley of which Aka spoke was probably the Dripping Springs valley, on Dripping Springs Road, Arizona, where the AUP church to God was built.]
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18–556–1 says], ‘I have been taking Ray’s supplements for ten months now and my health is a little better, but I am still plagued with my any allergies and depression and hormone imbalance. Can you give Ray some insight about what else I might need to take for this or is it just a matter of being on the supplements a little longer?’”
We shall answer your question at this time. The greatest potion of all potions is that which is in the heart of man, the heart of the soul. We have given you a parable and the parable [is] one of depression [and] one of hope.
We say unto you, within the Rose without Thorns you shall find the journeys of the spirit[s] of God. Bring [these] forth, not by yourself, but with others; study and learn from them. Know the meaning of what it is and what is said.
You have been given many parables and much knowledge in many ways. The cup is before you; drink from it.
[Note: A second book, the book given to ministers upon ordination, is also called, A Rose without Thorns; the book given to teachers is The Cup and the Rose.]
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18–502–3B]…, and she asks, ‘What should I do to prepare for the Corn ceremony?’”
You have come at the spirit of things. Take the time to see the blessings that are about to be given to you, for each blessing is like raindrops of water upon the desert; soon a great bouquet shall grow. Know these things and know them to be true, and allow nothing and no one to take from it.
You have one more question, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [12–424–2] asks, ‘I desire to have acute hearing. Will you help me to accomplish this? Thank you.’”
We understand thy need; we also understand thy want.
But we should say unto you, look into the time of Daniel and study the prophecy therein, and bring it forth into today and look at it and see of it, and you shall begin the journey you wish to begin.
We say unto you, you have come forth unto this time once again to pass through from one world into another.
[Note: in the Corn Ceremony, which was held several times through the years by Ray, the Eagle, at the church Ray built to God on Dripping Springs Road, Arizona, as a spiritual doorway was opened between this time and a new heaven and new earth.]
Each of you shall have your own reasons, and each shall bring a list that you shall put into the burning pot, and the twins shall be in place in fulfillment of the earth, and once again we shall give you a sign. And some shall say it shall be greater than the last. But who is to say? Let it be in the heart of each who gaze upon it and hear it.
Now is the time of the Cherubim.
Soul Ray grows weary; awaken soul Ray from his slumber.

Aka is here.
“Good evening, Aka. Where is soul Ray?”
Soul Ray stands with God.
Yes, we see thy need, and we shall answer in this manner and in this way. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God; glory be the name of His children forever and ever.
And we say unto thee, for upon the land there came a man, and he was given unto the people, and through him the Lord did those things that He needed to do upon the earth.
And the man looked upon this and said, “If this is the Lord’s will I shall do this. The Lord has sent me forth to use me that the people shall know of the Lord and of His love and His mercy.”
But yet, there were many of the people who say [saw] this, and yet, they knew inside of them that, in truth, this was from the Lord and those things he had thought were from the Lord. But yet, they saw also the human side of him. And they could not adjust their minds one from the other. They thought, if this one wishes something, he shall think it and it shall be so. He shall rule all of us with his mind. He shall destroy our crops if we do not give him that which he wishes.
More and more talk and gossip and false judgments was [were] built upon this one. Yet this one went on day in and day out giving these gifts that he knew to give.
And one day, he looked upon all these things and these people the Lord has sent him forth to help, and he heard their accusations and he saw that which they did unto him, and he said, “Nay, no more, for I shall take back the blessings the Lord has given me. I shall walk as a man and no one then shall say these things about me.”
On [When] the fields that he had made to grow began to wilt away, and the children he had allowed to be born began to diminish upon the earth, and instead of the special births that were happening, they began to cease. For the fishermen, the nets were not full anymore. The crops were not as abundance. Yet no one saw and no one looked beyond themselves to know; all they knew was that suddenly this one had stopped.
But they did not know that he had stopped, for they thought, now he has turned his powers against us. He has ruined our crops. He is harming our children. And if we look unto him he shall take all of us and do as he wishes. And so, the talk was worse.
But the more the talk continued, the more withdrawn the man became and the more angry he felt within himself.
And he went into the mountains and the valley and all places he knew the Lord might be, and he said, “Oh, Lord, take this bitter cup from me.”
And the Lord looked not [unto] him and said, “LET THINE WILL BE DONE.”
And the man looked unto himself and cast all of the gifts the Lord had given him from his back and walked on and away from the people.
Now, the parable we have given you is a frightening parable, yet who among us have not seen this that we speak of is true?
You have questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18–561–2 says], ‘Dear Sir, I wish to request a life reading.’”
For this reading we shall do no life readings. We shall answer your questions; bring them forth.
You have questions, ask.
“[11–405–4] asks, ‘When finding out what happened to my people, where should I start regarding my past life readings?’”
Look at your feet. Look around you and find where you are now, and ask and you shall receive. For around you is an abundance of knowledge and there’s much knowledge that is passed from one unto another.
So discuss with those who are your teacher and you shall soon have the answers that you seek. But remember, that which you are given, so shall you give. For we shall come unto your mind, for we shall come unto you for three days and you shall have three dreams. And in those dreams shall be the answers you seek at this time. But they shall bring many questions into your mind. Then, when you have them, ask again.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [15–562–1] asks, ‘When will my oneness come?’”
Yes, we see thy need and we say unto you, the oneness is at hand. You have yet to recognize it.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you Aka. [4–125–2] asks, ‘Aka, how can we harness cosmic magnetic electricity? Is cosmic magnetic electricity the electric flow into the poles from the interaction of solar winds into the Earth’s magnetic field?’”
We shall answer your question quite simply. You know it as cold fusion. This is the simplest method of harnessing this power, yet there are other methods that have been used as a continuous flow.
You will find in your old readings complete detail of the crystals left in the great pyramid and how they functioned. It would be good if you looked forth, and bringing them forward so that your groups could study this and see it. It will be good for you to look backward as well as forward.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18–540–1] asks, ‘Please give me guidance.’”
Yes, we see thy need and we say unto you, you have been receiving guidance in your dreams, and more shall come because you have been accepting these as a learning process. But there is other parts. We say unto you, for each master on your earth there shall be ten on the other side and ten on this side. Therefore, masters, as you would know them, are hard to find; yet you have that to talk to. It is with you at this time. Utilize it and understand it.
Take the first of the reading and implant it into your life and you will soon see how it fits. You will also soon see where the answers to your questions have come from.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you Aka. [18–553–1 says], ‘I ask for a reading that will guide me now.’”
Then we say unto you, a reading is what you seek, yet what you seek is advice. And this advice we would give you this day and this time, go back into the old readings one year at a time. Begin at the beginning when we first arrived with the comet, Kahoutek, and from them allow yourself to share with others. [Note: the spiritual messengers of God, Aka, arrived and spoke April 3, 1970, with the brightest comet of the century, Comet Bennett.]
If you do this we’ll give you that which you need.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18–553–2 says,] ‘You were talking about the land, seven acres that I am about to buy. In the year 1899 there was an earthquake there. Can you tell me more about it? Thank you.’”
Yes, we see your need. Upon the land that you were about to buy there were earthquakes upon the land, and that that was shall be again. Beware of that that you build upon this land.
You have other questions, ask.
“Thank you, Aka. [18–362–3] asks, ‘I feel very good about the path in life that I have chosen to lead, and do you think that I have made the right decision?’“
There is a saying, if the shoe fits wear it. For some there shall be forever; for some there shall be never; for some there shall be now. Ask yourself these questions: what do I want? If it is now then take the now. If it is forever then go for the forever. You can have the now and the forever, both together, but you must put that, both mental and physical work to reach the forever.
You have other questions, ask.
“[18–562–2 asks], ‘Aka, I have a trial coming up in January. Can you please let me know the outcome? Would it be a good idea for me to try a house before the trial? Thank you.’”
Yes, we see your need, and we would say this unto you. Outcomes with the other, but rather than the house, make it a home.
You have the other question, ask.
“Aka, at this time I have no more questions.”
Then we see your need, and we would say unto you, unto the greater things of the land so shall a gift be given. Each of you in your own way have asked and have been given from this gift. But we say unto you, a gift should be given with dignity and received with dignity. And just because you have a cup that runneth over does not mean that you cannot appreciate the cup or he who fills it.
But understand something − we come but to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah. We come to bring Ray’s flock close to God.
Now we say unto you, glory be the name of the Lord; glory be the name of His children.
Yet we say unto you, glory be unto he who is about his Father’s work.
But even he who goes about his Father’s work must do his own work and take the time that his mind and his body can rebuild and regenerate. Do not trap the Eagle, set it free.
You have other questions, and we see into those, the greatest that you shall ask for in your tomorrow. Look around. You shall see the rose and you shall see the thorns no more.
Let each of you come in truth of heart and soul.
But we say unto you, do not judge yourself so severely that you try to cast unto [out the] best part of you away. Each of you are unique in your own way, and each of you have a gift hidden inside of you that shines through and is given to others.
Glory be the name of the Lord; glory be the name of those who serve the Lord.
Now is the time of the cherubim.
But harken unto these words. In the past we have told you of the time of the Dragon, and of the dragon which split into two halves and then into four. Beware. But we ask unto you, unto all things there is a reason and a time and a reason [season].
Awaken soul Ray from his slumber.

(The last reading)
Aka is here.
“Good evening, Aka. Where is soul Ray?”
Soul Ray stands with God.
Yes, we see thy need. And we should answer in this manner, and in this way [and in this manner]. Glory be the name of the Lord, thy God, and glory be the name of His people forever and ever.
We shall say unto you, harken, [and] hear these words. For from now until soul Ray recovers his health it will grow harder for him to allow us to come through. He has done that that was expected of him on the Earth plane. He has completed his task.
And we would tell you goodbye, but we shall not. We will tell you these words. For we [come] but for one purpose, and one purpose only − for the preparation for the coming of the Messiah. So did your soul Ray come for but one purpose and prepared himself, that he might prepare the way for the coming of his brother. We say unto you, that the last be first and the first be last, that the words of the Lord shall be glorious in all places [and] all times.
And then, for as long as soul Ray’s health allows us, and he wishes, we shall continue [ ] to come unto you and bring you blessings and [bring] you guidance. Permission has been given.
But we will tell you this parable. It is of the [ ] shooting star that you see.
For once man looked upon the heavens and saw this star. He thought in his own mind, if he could only be as the star, [he could] only be through time and space at such a speed. So man went out and he built a great spacecraft, and he hurled himself through space. And he went faster and faster. And one day, he not only broke the time and light barrier, but he exceeded life in itself.
And he thought unto himself, “Where shall I go? I now can visit the universes upon universes. Which one shall I seek upon my own?”
He thought very long and hard upon it. He thought, “I guess I should ask my God.” And so, he went forth unto his own private place, and he spoke into the Lord, and he said to the Lord, “Forgive me, Lord, but I should speak unto You, for I do not know what to do. I have [gone] and taken Your knowledge unto its limits, yet I know there is more. What shall be Your will, oh Lord?”
And the Lord spoke back unto him and said, “LET THINE WILL BE DONE. BUT REMEMBER, THERE ARE PLACES TO GO, AND THINGS TO SEE, BUT HAVE YOU SEEN ALL THOSE THINGS UPON YOUR OWN PLANET? ARE YOU READY NOW TO LEAVE IT BEHIND YOU? OR HAVE YOU YET MORE TO LEARN FROM IT? HAVE YOU TOUCHED ALL THINGS UPON YOUR EARTH, THAT YOU ARE SO READY TO LEAVE IT FOREVER?”
And the Lord went by.
And he thought upon this. And he went out into his garden and he saw all its beauty there in [it], and it multiplied tenfold. And he went unto the smallest of things upon the Earth and saw [them], and the greatest of things upon the Earth and saw that. Yet he knew that he had not seen enough, or tasted, or drank, or touched, or felt, or sensed all of the things there was on this Earth. He had yet to take the time to be able to smell the roses, for he was so busy in trying to reach the universes. He did not give up his space travel altogether, to have always returned back to the Earth that he loved.
Now we say unto you, so it is with soul Ray. He has taken you to the outer boundaries. Now he is taking the time to smell the roses. He will reach into the outer boundaries with you many times, but he will do this in his own way. He now can take you to the light in his way. His way, you will find, is quite different than you might have experienced. For his [own] time, he has been a teacher many times. Yet each time he has moved aside to allow us to speak, to talk, to touch and feel. He has allowed, at all times he has moved aside to allow his brother, who he prepares the way for, to speak, and to be heard and to be seen. He has made him the most important part of his life.
Now, he shall begin to lead his own life, to touch these things of Earth, and smell his own flowers. If he is to live − he is an eagle − let him be free. For we have known this. This is why we have freed him, so he could live, because he was dying. And he will die if you do not free him.
[It’s not meant] to be because of his health. [It’s] not meant [to mean] that we cannot continue to heal him. But he needs his own time, his own space. He needs to be his own person.
Allow him; give him these things.
You have seen him reach for them, and you have thought him angry and insane. Have you not seen a person that was starving, a person [that] did not have water and was dying of thirst? He reaches for it. This is why he is now fighting. Even the eagle [can] be free. He is reaching for his freedom, for his right to exist as a person. Give him that. If he has that, that time to himself, he may heal and mend. If he does not, he will die.
In your mind you have had many questions. We have answered some of these. Now we shall answer others.
In your own mind, you have asked the nature of his illness. We would call it, stress syndrome, which has aggravated, a rheumatoid arthritis condition which was created a long time ago when he was involved in 1965 in a wreck. [Note: Ray was diagnosed in the late 1980s with systemic lupus erythematosus, which many people developed who drank the water in South Tucson in the 1950s that was contaminated by solvents that seeped into the groundwater that were to clean aircraft engines. Like many others there, Ray later developed a brain tumor. It was successfully removed, partially by surgery and partly by radiation of the inoperable portion in the brainstem.]
It was like a time bomb waiting to go off. He’s known this and he’s lived with it. He [knew] that he was living on borrowed time. He has never asked us for additional time; he never asked us for anything, but to be able to do his work. [See the February 14, 1976 reading.]
You have to realize that when the brain stem is damaged, a malfunction occurs in both the biochemical [and] emotional supporting, and the muscular reaction of the same; for both [are] necessary electrodes and neutrons within the brain, throughout [emotion], therefore, within the same. His mind [has been] without, but he has kept control. We have warned him before that should he reach too far to his limits, this could happen; he knew it. He has known this for some time.
But he did not know that when the prostatectomy was preformed, before the prostatectomy, that which occurred to cause the infection in the hemorrhoid area, the lesion of the rectum removed, was, as you would know, a form of cancer. He asked us at that time for help, and it was given it. When the prostatectomy was performed there were errors made in the surgery. Instead of the sperm entering into the bladder and it being expelled, it is entering, and being contaminated as it goes into the body; therefore, it is attacking his body as his own immune system is fighting it. In the process of doing this, the body [creates] your [immune symptoms] such as a kind of anger, or sometimes even in joy, but mostly of anger. There are other parts that can [create] it. The adrenal system can even speed it up, and be aggravating and aggravate the [injury in] itself.
Soul Ray at the present time has [the formula] in his mind that he is about to prepare to bring about the possibility [that it] will buy him time, the time he needs for this. You can help him greatly by bringing forth the seed and the leaf and [the pulp] of the different species of yucca that he wishes. He will show you these species. He will show you [the] seed form. There will be other plants that he will show you. Gather them for him. Before he leaves this Earth, it is his choice and hiswish [ he has discussed], that he has asked the Lord, thy God, that he will be able to leave upon the Earth a cure for your AIDS, for your cancers, and for the type of rheumatoid arthritis that is now possessing his body at such a rapid rate. The chemotherapy [which] he is taking will aid to help control this. But the true healing will come from his own work.
You must understand that because of his great pain that he does not share with you − most of the time you do not know he has it − it shall make him irritable at times; it will almost seem as though his personality will be changed. Sometimes it is very difficult to act, to work as a calm person when inside your body is being torn apart and your nervous system is failing.
Now, we must say unto you, our time is short.
Now is the time of the cherubim.
We shall tell you to take the readings − take this reading − give them to the world. Give them to the people. Put wings upon it; set it free.
We know that you all have many questions, but time has run out. His body will not allow us to remain [in him] without harming him.
Now is the time of the cherubim.
Awaken soul Ray from his slumber.
