Magazine Overview

Title: Revelations of Awareness
Issue: #77-7
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Date: Not specified

This issue of 'Revelations of Awareness' presents a series of channeled messages from Cosmic Awareness, addressing various aspects of human experience, consciousness, and societal structures. The content is presented in a question-and-answer format, with 'Cosmic Awareness' providing insights and guidance.

Message to Prisoners

The issue opens with a message to incarcerated members and those who feel imprisoned by circumstances. Cosmic Awareness suggests that the 'prison syndrome' can be addressed by understanding that all crime is a form of illness, not criminality. Entities should be treated for illness, and a shift in this approach is predicted to occur within approximately 25 years. The core message for coping within prisons is the cultivation of humor. Awareness suggests that even when laughter is not permitted, one can smile internally, let their eyes twinkle, or maintain a poised mouth. Humor is presented as a way to lighten the spirit, defy oppressive forces, and create a revolutionary movement that can spread joy and human connection, potentially transforming prisons into rehabilitation centers.

Male Chauvinism and Gender Differences

A significant portion of the magazine addresses male chauvinism and the differences between the sexes. Cosmic Awareness explains that the historical narrative, largely written by men, emphasized male achievements, leading to a perception of male superiority. The 'Eve' and 'Adam' symbolism is discussed in relation to evening/magnetic/feminine forces and day/radiant/masculine forces. It is clarified that no entity is purely masculine or feminine; rather, all possess both qualities to varying degrees. The concept of hermaphroditism is used to illustrate this balance. The message suggests that the current era is shifting towards recognizing that women are not inherently associated with evil, nor men with good, and that past actions have led to both great tragedies and great goods, with a general balance existing.

Psychic Energy, Amulets, and Charms

The issue touches upon psychic energy, referred to as 'odic force.' It is explained that this energy can be stored in objects, including pendants and charms, through geometric designs and intentional energizing. However, the effectiveness of these items is primarily psychological. Awareness emphasizes that belief in their power is the key factor, rather than the object itself. The rule is stated: 'Whatever you seek with the mind, you tend to discover. Whatever you expect you tend to see.' While certain gems, metals, and shapes may carry energies, the ultimate power lies in one's attitude and consciousness.

The Creative Process and Inventiveness

Cosmic Awareness outlines the nature of the creative process, emphasizing the importance of both focused study and release. It suggests that inventiveness is enhanced by analyzing problems, exploring solutions, and then allowing the mind to rest and become receptive. During periods of play, sleep, or meditation, information and solutions may emerge 'out of the blue.' The process involves energizing the situation through deep thought and then letting go to allow for insight. This is likened to the necessity of both night and day, or awakening and sleeping.

Prosperity and Financial Concerns

Addressing financial worries, Awareness suggests a fearless examination of one's financial situation to discover alternative uses for assets and to identify community needs. It proposes expanding services, acting as a switchboard for trading items and services, and potentially using a credit point system. The core principle is 'Universal Service,' where helping others helps oneself. The message critiques the overemphasis on money as a basis for control, advocating for decisions to be guided by harmony with life rather than monetary gain. It predicts a future where corporate decisions will prioritize social value and humanistic needs.

Other Topics

Briefly mentioned are the 'Law of Eternal Unfulfillment,' suggesting that each moment is inherently incomplete, and the 'Law of Affection,' describing affection as a selfless beam of love. Advice is given on how to relax and release tensions through diet, mental attitudes, and surrendering to the 'God-cell within.' The issue also touches upon dealing with children, advocating for tolerance and understanding of their primitive methods of exploration.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

Throughout the issue, recurring themes include the power of consciousness and mindset, the importance of inner states (like humor and attitude) over external factors, and a critique of societal structures that prioritize material gain over human well-being and harmony. The editorial stance is one of spiritual guidance, offering insights and practical advice based on the principles of Cosmic Awareness, encouraging self-discovery, personal growth, and a more harmonious existence.

This issue of REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS, published by Cosmic Awareness Communications, is a cosmic newsletter that delves into various philosophical and practical aspects of life, including child development, personal attitudes, financial concerns, health, and the nature of karma. The content is derived from readings given by 'Cosmic Awareness,' with an interpreter, Paul Shockley, mentioned in relation to a 1975 reading.

Child Development and Awareness

The initial sections focus on child-rearing and the development of sensitivity and self-assurance in children. Cosmic Awareness suggests a balanced approach to guidance, emphasizing mutual respect, love, and attention without smothering the child. It highlights the importance of allowing children to make age-appropriate decisions and learn from their experiences. The text discusses how children express themselves through actions, sometimes including aggression, and suggests that understanding the underlying pain or need is crucial. It posits that children who inflict pain without experiencing it themselves may struggle with empathy, potentially leading to sadistic tendencies. Conversely, excessive punishment can foster anti-social behavior. The core idea is to foster a sense of self-worth and an understanding of others' feelings.

The Law of Portrayal

This section introduces the 'Law of Portrayal,' which posits that any action or role consistently portrayed by an individual cultivates the attitude associated with that action. Over time, this repeated behavior can become a dominant characteristic, shaping the person's identity and becoming a 'master' rather than a tool. This behavioral pattern can originate from games, imitations, or portrayals of characters that exemplify a certain image.

Laws of Example and Cosmic Awareness

The Law of Example

The 'Law of Example' states that any person, concept, or thing in a position of significance can serve as an example for others. Those who exemplify negative traits like power, lust, and greed contribute to societal tragedies, while those who embody love, service, and sharing foster freedom, joy, and peace. The text advises individuals to exemplify positive qualities, especially for children seeking role models.

Financial Worries and Karma

A question is posed regarding persistent financial worries and a request for influence on a multimillionaire aunt to help a destitute brother. Cosmic Awareness suggests that worrying about money can actually keep it at bay. It proposes that by shifting focus from personal needs to serving others, one's own problems can diminish. The reading indicates a karmic tie between the aunt and father, possibly stemming from a past-life situation where the father kept his mother in poverty while he was wealthy. This karmic cycle is suggested to be dissolvable through conscious awareness and a shift in attitude.

Bribery and Karmic Credit

Cosmic Awareness explicitly rejects attempts at bribery or requests for 'karmic credit,' stating that such actions are not within its will. It encourages individuals to take the first step in serving others with what they have, implying that rewards will follow.

Health and Well-being

How to Deal with the Common Cold

Advice is given on managing common colds, describing them as the body's way of eliminating mucous and toxins. Recommendations include consuming lemon and lemon juice, fenugreek, juices, liquids, fruits, soups, and light vegetables, while avoiding sugars, starches, and heavy meats.

How to Improve Your Eyesight

For improving eyesight, Cosmic Awareness suggests a visualization technique to be performed before sleep. This involves closing the eyes, relaxing deeply, and vividly imagining having perfect vision, considering the advantages and disadvantages of both perfect and imperfect vision. The process includes visualizing oneself in perfect health and then stating an intention for the body to enter into perfect health during the night, with the 'Awareness' working on the cells and attitudes.

Future Economic and Social Scenarios

'The End of Affluence'

In response to a question about Paul Ehrlich's book 'The End of Affluence,' Cosmic Awareness suggests that many of its concepts align with the current understanding of the economy. However, it notes that cosmic changes are occurring rapidly, leading to the emergence of new concepts and behaviors that will significantly influence the world economy. Within twenty years, the world is expected to appear vastly different, with entities capable of responding to their imagination and command, making 'mind over matter' a practical reality.

Karma and Personal Attitudes

How Karma is Maintained

This section revisits karma, particularly in the context of forgotten identities. It emphasizes that frustration and hostility generated between entities can create an atmosphere of revenge, perpetuating karmic cycles. Releasing these games of hostility and neglect can lead to improved health, understanding, and joy, as negative energies are no longer absorbed. The text also touches upon personal attitudes that lead to self-frustration and a diminished sense of self-worth.

Conclusion and Editorial Stance

Addressing the Divine Within

Cosmic Awareness concludes by urging individuals to recognize their divine nature, stating, "you are all gods, and must learn in time to act toward each other as though you were addressing gods." This underscores a core tenet of the publication: the inherent divinity and interconnectedness of all beings.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the power of consciousness, the influence of thoughts and actions on reality, the importance of service to others, and the interconnectedness of karma and personal well-being. The editorial stance is one of guidance and enlightenment, encouraging readers to adopt a higher perspective, cultivate positive attitudes, and understand the deeper spiritual laws governing existence. The publication consistently promotes self-awareness, responsibility, and a holistic approach to life, health, and relationships.
