Interpreter: Paul Shockley

This issue delves into the spiritual and cosmic dimensions of drug addiction, positing that it is not merely a physical or psychological issue but one with roots in past lives, karmic patterns, and energetic imbalances.

The Cosmic and Physical Nature of Drug Addiction

The central question posed to Cosmic Awareness is whether drug addiction stems from past incarnations or is a self-imposed condition in the current life. Cosmic Awareness explains that entities who received massive doses of pain-killing drugs (like morphine) in previous lives, perhaps in hospitals or battlefields, may develop a tendency toward drug addiction upon reincarnation. Similarly, prior alcohol use can lead to this tendency. The use of drugs as a crutch for psychological support is also highlighted as a factor that increases dependency.

Holes in the Aura and Spiritual Influence

A significant concept introduced is that drug use creates "holes" in an entity's aura, the life force field. These openings allow lower vibrational spirits to enter and influence the entity's consciousness. These earthbound spirits, often with addictive natures themselves, are drawn to these holes and seek gratification through the addict's drug use, thus enhancing the dependency in a vicious cycle.

Methods of Withdrawal and Conversion

Cosmic Awareness suggests that conventional methods like morality teachings, rational approaches, and law enforcement are generally ineffective against the intensification of drug addiction. More effective approaches include:

• Gradual Withdrawal: Programs like methadone maintenance are mentioned but deemed generally not especially effective.
• Conversion and Transformation: Religious or philosophical conversion, particularly to Christianity, can lead to a total transformation and help entities overcome addiction. This is likened to finding a new, more worthwhile psychological crutch.
• Jesus as a Crutch: The "high" experienced from heroin is compared to the feeling of conversion in Christianity. It is suggested that having a concept like Christ or Jesus as a "crutch" is better than using drugs, though it can still be a crutch for development.

The Ultimate Method to Break the Habit

The ultimate step toward freedom is described as becoming one with the "Father," akin to Jesus' oneness with the Father. This implies a profound spiritual integration.

Alternative Healing Methods

• The Homeopathic Method: This method involves reducing the addictive drug to a minute, almost unnoticeable amount in liquid. The body's cells, accustomed to the drug, are tricked into releasing stored residue, thus helping to eliminate addictive feelings and break the cycle. This process can be repeated until the addiction is broken.
• Fasting: Fasting is also presented as a way to help the body eliminate stored addictive drugs. The cells hunger for the drug, opening wider to absorb, but since nothing is taken in, they begin to spill out and eliminate residues.

The Nature of Drug Addiction and Body Recovery

Addiction is explained as cells becoming accustomed to a certain portion of a drug and holding onto it. The process of using diluted substances or fasting helps the cells to release these stored "addictions." It is estimated that it takes approximately three years for the body to return to good health after heavy drug use, with the aura healing much quicker, in about four to seven months, through proper diet, rest, and exercise.

Changing Your Life

To break free from addiction, Cosmic Awareness suggests a period of intensive effort, ideally one month, involving significant life changes. This includes altering one's scenery, friendships, self-image, purpose, diet, and clothing. Developing diversified interests and surrounding oneself with strong, supportive people is also recommended.

Karma and Pain

A question arises about karma created by preventing the pain of a prior passing over with drugs. Cosmic Awareness affirms that the pain saved is returned in the next life, possibly spread out with less intensity. Entities who refuse to call out for help or use drugs to escape pain, and instead face it fully, do not need to repeat that experience. Those who face pain with totality avoid the need for a "deliverer" in future lives.

This is framed as a karmic pattern where one entity is capable of accepting pain, and another is not. It is not about superiority but about the choice to be dependent and escape, or to face reality and experience life with intensity, leading to freedom from fear.

Getting Rid of Discarnate Entities

Regarding entities feeding off drug addicts through aura holes, suggestions are made for their removal:

• Incense: Burning sharp incenses that heighten consciousness.
• Spiritual Symbols: Using a bell, a Buddha, or a cross.
• Personal Spiritual Practice: Lighting a candle or engaging in any practice that allows one to feel spiritual can imply the absence of negative forces and protect the individual.

Spirits can only affect an entity if the entity is fearful, hungry, or dependent. By lifting one's vibrations, raising consciousness, and determining that no low-vibrational force can affect them, an entity can become immune. Low vibrations attract similar vibrations, making one vulnerable. The path of least resistance is seen as surrendering to the highest and best, to Universal Laws, and to God, leading to freedom from struggle.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the spiritual underpinnings of addiction, the energetic impact of drug use on the aura, the role of past lives and karma, and the importance of spiritual growth and surrender for overcoming these challenges. The editorial stance, as channeled through Cosmic Awareness, is that true freedom from addiction comes through spiritual understanding, energetic cleansing, and a profound shift in consciousness, rather than solely through physical or psychological means. The publication, "Revelations of Awareness," positions itself as a source for understanding these deeper, cosmic aspects of human experience.
