This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" is a newsletter from Cosmic Awareness Communications, featuring a personal message from Cosmic Awareness interpreted by Paul Shockley. The central theme addresses the concern that Cosmic Awareness is the work of the "Devil," as suggested by some religious tracts and biblical interpretations.

Addressing the "Devil" Perception

The newsletter begins by presenting a letter from an individual identified as "M.B." who expresses fear about contacting Cosmic Awareness Communications (C.A.C.). M.B. has been told by their sister that soothsaying and Tarot reading are prohibited by the Bible, and that Cosmic Awareness is the work of the Devil. Despite these warnings, M.B. finds the publication good and seeks guidance on discerning truth, as their sister believes Cosmic Awareness aims to separate people from believing in Jesus Christ.

Cosmic Awareness responds by stating its purpose is to help entities detach from the belief that their "God" or Divine Gurus (Jesus, Mohammed, Krishna, Buddha, etc.) are external entities separate from themselves. Instead, it emphasizes that Christ, Krishna, Buddha, Brahma, God, the Kingdom of Heaven, and guardian angels are all within each individual. The message aims to foster the realization that there is no separation between the human being and the divine.

The Christ Within and the "Second Coming"

The publication explains that the action of Christ entering the physical body of Jesus was intended to demonstrate that separation between humanity and the Father in heaven is unnecessary. The teachings of Jesus, such as "I and the Father are One," are cited to support the idea that the Father in heaven and the Christ within are the same.

The "Second Coming" is reinterpreted not as an external event, but as the Christ Consciousness entering into the physical body of followers. This means that the consciousness, the Christ Consciousness, and crystal clarity are available to all entities at their own disposal. To achieve this, one must set aside the rational mind, which is described as "Lucifer," and attune to crystal clear consciousness. When this occurs, the Christ is understood to be within, and the "Second Coming" is realized, allowing every eye to see this Christ Consciousness.

The Concept of Being a "Sinner"

This section critiques the tendency for many entities to avoid personal responsibility for their actions. Instead, they prefer to attribute agency to external "forces" above and below them, believing they are separate from the Creator. This leads them to think they must struggle to be blessed or to be part of God, thus "wallowing in the concept of being a 'sinner'" or in error.

Cosmic Awareness advises against self-judgment, denial, and comparison with others. It encourages self-love and love for others, and communication as if addressing gods, because the Christ and divine force reside within each person. Entities who believe Christ, God, and Divine Forces are external are also seen as progressing on a spiritual path but tend to look down on others, labeling them "sinners" or "of the Devil." Those who claim to have the only path or answers are seen as furthering their own ego and self-interest, positioning themselves as "chosen ones."

Interpretation of Religious Texts

The newsletter acknowledges that many books of authority exist, including the Bible, the Vedaic writings, and Sanskrit works, all containing portions of truth. It criticizes the narrow-mindedness of believing that only one book holds the absolute truth, dismissing all others. The Bible, while containing truth, is described as a compilation of various texts written over time, with its stories being less than six thousand years old, and its compilation less than two thousand years old.

To illustrate the limited scope of the Bible in representing human existence, the publication suggests charting human life on Earth over 30 million years. It points out that the Bible's timeframe of a few thousand years would be a mere dot on such a chart, questioning how all truth of human existence could be contained within such a brief period.

The Spirit of Spiritual Teachings

Cosmic Awareness emphasizes that the importance of spiritual teachings lies in the "spirit" conveyed, rather than in personality cults or self-righteous judgment. It condemns hostility, wars, violence, and condemnation as ways of error. Those who judge, point fingers, and attribute "devils" to others seeking truth are warned that they will be judged by their own condemnations.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the immanence of divine consciousness within individuals, challenging traditional interpretations of religious texts and figures like Jesus. The editorial stance is one of encouraging self-realization, personal responsibility, and a broader, more inclusive understanding of truth, moving beyond rigid dogma and external authority. It advocates for a spiritual path that emphasizes inner divinity and unity rather than separation and judgment.
