This issue of 'Revelations of Awareness' presents a New Year's message from Cosmic Awareness, offering insights and guidance on a variety of spiritual and personal development topics. The content is delivered through a question-and-answer format, with 'Cosmic Awareness' providing the responses, often interpreted by Paul Shockley.

A New Year's Message from Cosmic Awareness

The primary message for the New Year, dated December 31, 1976, addresses the ongoing 'psychic storm' which is bringing about a reconciliation of separative forces within consciousness. It is suggested that entities who have already made these internal reconciliations will benefit greatly, while others may experience difficulties and turmoil. By summer, a positive shift is anticipated for all. The message also touches upon the new President, Carter, and the re-emergence of idealism in the American lifestyle, predicting that despite challenges, idealism will prevail and the nation will shine within two years. Economic difficulties are expected, particularly related to inflation, but not to a degree that will cause major problems for the masses. The fall of the year is predicted to bring new energies and enthusiasm, with 1978 being the 'launch and blast-off of the New Age energies'.

How Thought Creates Your World

This section emphasizes the power of thought in shaping reality. It states that 'nothing that is true except that which you think,' and that collective thought solidifies into truth and images. Thought is identified as the builder, and consciousness as the being. Feelings provide the life force for these creations, while directed thinking determines their shape. The message stresses personal responsibility, asserting that individuals create their world moment by moment through their thoughts and feelings, placing them above animals who are victims of circumstance. Increased awareness leads to greater responsibility for maintaining universal balance.

How the Mentally Ill and Retarded Can Be Helped by the Subud Latihan

In response to a question about healing the mentally ill and retarded, Cosmic Awareness suggests the 'latihan of Subud' as effective. It indicates that by allowing energies to move freely from within and being attentive to these movements without control, individuals can be freed. Studying the 'latihan of Subud' is recommended.

Concerning Old Age and the "Tree of Knowledge"

This section, presented as excerpts from a reading for a 73-year-old lady, discusses aging and spiritual progression. It contrasts the 'Tree of Knowledge' (associated with polarity, selection, and rejection, leading to death) with the 'Tree of Wisdom' (flowing in cycles, accepting all, leading to eternal life). The individual is at a crossroads where they can shift from the Tree of Knowledge to the Law of Cycles and continue existing, or terminate their present life by continuing with the Tree of Knowledge. Using the 'computer beast' within the psyche as a tool, rather than a governor, is presented as a path to becoming the Tree of Wisdom and achieving eternal life.

How Our Thoughts Create Our Good Health or Our Bad Health

This section addresses a 72-year-old individual seeking healing for various ailments. Cosmic Awareness explains that all things are subject to higher levels of consciousness. Intense alienations and projections of frustration can create illnesses. It is suggested that individuals can allow negative forces to pass through them without identifying with them. The concept of 'bad eyesight' is presented not as an inherent flaw but as something latched onto from a collective stream of consciousness. The advice is to describe oneself as capable of good vision and to think in terms of longevity and seniority rather than old age. Releasing blocked energies through relaxation and gentle stretching is recommended to slow aging processes and allow the body to repair itself. An attitude of constant surrender and attentive awareness, rather than pre-determined judgment, is key to meeting experiences without creating blocks and frustrations.

Ascending Into the Light Body

This section provides directions for healing and ascending into a 'light body'. It explains that healing involves melting crystallized aspects of the self, leading to a flow of energy and light that discharges polarities. This process results in a 'New Being' made more of light energy. Ascension into the light body is possible by moving into a feeling level totally without judgment, as judgment creates polarity and dense matter. Alternatively, a balance between the physical and spiritual realms, a 'Nirvana level', is described as an enjoyable state. To remain physical while operating on higher levels, a slight action of the 'Tree of Knowledge' is needed to create enough division. Entities may also be held in the physical by other beings, related to their karma to assist others in raising vibrations.

How Our Thoughts Create Our World and Reality

This part of the discussion focuses on attitude and visualization. To achieve a different kind of life, one must accept their current situation, even if it is perceived as a 'personal hell', and make the best of it, or consider it 'heaven'. Turning 'hell into heaven' through visualization and a change of attitude allows movement into a new environment. A higher attitude, likened to an eagle soaring, provides a broader perspective, enabling easier movement and overcoming obstacles that trouble those with an 'ant's' perspective. The mind's ability to create either heaven or hell is emphasized.

Concerning the Influence That Mummies Have Today

This section addresses a question about 'mummies in suspended animation' being the 'soul or unconscious mind of humanity'. Cosmic Awareness confirms that mankind is influenced by these mummies. The nature of mummification and the psychic energies emanated are likened to a base chord in a symphony. These energies, programmed to expand consciousness and bring about awakening, led to the development of modern civilizations. The influence of the first five notes in music, which sets a theme, is used as an analogy for how these initial influences shape subsequent developments.

How to Maintain Poise When You Are Being "Ripped Off"

Regarding business situations where payment is refused, Cosmic Awareness frames it as a 'problem of relationship'. The motive should not be to enforce law but to act as a partner, teaching the entity about the importance of commitments. Defending one's rights and not allowing commitments to be broken is crucial. Communication is prioritized over law enforcement, though law enforcement may be necessary if the other party only responds to it. Future police officers are envisioned as 'Peace Counselors' focused on communication.

Does Cosmic Awareness Have a Sense of Humor?

This section presents two letters from 'fan mail'. One, from 'The Aquarian Guild' in New Zealand, criticizes Cosmic Awareness's presentation as lacking warmth, humor, love, and innocence, calling it 'dry arrogance of the computer' and a 'crushing bore'. The second letter, from Mr. Leonard Hascall, praises the messages as beautiful, directed to the soul rather than the intellect, and offering 'nourishment for the soul'.

Cosmic Awareness acknowledges seeing humor and tragedy, warmth and coldness. It explains that its communication is intended to strike through without being colored by excessive emotions, to be taken according to the individual's wish, and is not forced upon anyone. The Awareness expresses itself through various channels, including artists, musicians, scientists, politicians, and even animals and nature.

When Your Animal Dies

In response to a question about deceased parents and pets, Cosmic Awareness indicates that the father has moved to high-level vibratory rates and is preparing for a new life. The mother is also at higher vibratory rates, seeing things more clearly and digesting new information. The animals mentioned are not seen on this level; their energies have been returned to other sources. The reader is directed to 'Thinking and Destiny' by Percival for further information on animal energies.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around consciousness, personal responsibility, the power of thought, spiritual growth, and the nature of reality. Cosmic Awareness consistently emphasizes self-awareness, the choice to create one's own reality, and the importance of moving beyond judgment and polarity towards a more unified understanding. The editorial stance is one of guidance and illumination, presenting information without force, encouraging individuals to explore these concepts and apply them to their lives for healing, growth, and ultimately, ascension. The publication acts as a channel for these messages, acknowledging that Awareness expresses itself through numerous other channels as well.
