This issue of Revelations of Awareness, published by Cosmic Awareness Communications, addresses a reader's query regarding the legitimacy of Cosmic Awareness as a prophetic source, specifically in relation to Jesus Christ. The publication aims to clarify the nature of 'Christ' and the role of channels.

Is Cosmic Awareness a False Prophet? (Jesus Christ and the Purpose of Channels)

The central article is a response to a letter from a reader, identified as Mrs. P.W., who expresses belief in Edgar Cayce but questions Cosmic Awareness's explanation of Christ. Mrs. P.W. feels that Christ was more than just another prophet, viewing him as the Son of God and the firstborn of all creation, through whom all things were created. She believes in a God in the universe with whom one can pray and receive help, and finds that Cosmic Awareness's teachings, which emphasize meditation for self-help and information, leave no one to pray to. She asks for clarification, assuming Cosmic Awareness is the same source as Edgar Cayce.

Cosmic Awareness Communications responds by explaining that the term 'Christ' refers to a concept of 'Crystal Clear Consciousness'. It states that both Jesus and Krishna possessed this consciousness. The narrative presented is that the story of Jesus the Christ is an ancient archetype, dating back approximately 12,000 years before the present, and that the story of Krishna, around 600 BC, was similarly structured, involving disciples and sacrifice for humanity's sins. The publication suggests that Jesus's story was a 'passion play' acted out in real life, representing the ego of the individual and the spiritual journey toward surrendering the self to the will of God.

Regarding Jesus's statement, "I Am the Way, the Truth and the Light," Cosmic Awareness clarifies that this was the Christ Consciousness speaking through the channel, Jesus, and not a personal claim of vanity. It asserts that if Jesus himself had made such a claim, it would be a gross form of vanity, but as the Christ Consciousness, it was a declaration of universal truth.

The publication further elaborates on the nature of God and the universe. It states that the spirit of the universe permeates everything and is life itself, referred to as God. The universe is described as a living creature, and individuals are within this body, in tune with its life force. Clarity and consciousness are achieved when one's mind is free from beliefs, confusions, and distorted values, leading to a pure and clear consciousness that can channel the Christ Consciousness.

Why Not Make a Religion Out of the Interpreter?

This section addresses the potential for individuals to create a religion around any channel or entity channeling Christ Consciousness. However, it posits that the only true religion is one that allows an individual to tune into Christ Consciousness for themselves. When one tunes into this consciousness, they become one with the Father, a child of God, and do not need a channel or medium for attunement. The purpose of channels is solely to convey information that aids individuals in achieving greater clarity and attuning to the Crystal Clear Consciousness and the Spirit of God.

Cosmic Awareness also offers a different perspective on the divine presence, stating that it walks beside individuals, within their cells, and between their thoughts and emotions, hearing prayers and seeing meditations, rather than being a distant entity on another planet.

The Difference Between Prayer & Meditation

The final section distinguishes between prayer and meditation. Prayer is characterized by a feeling of separation from God, leading to requests for favors. Meditation, conversely, is presented as a practice to attune oneself to God, to become one with God, and to realize one's own capacity to create as gods or to accept what is divinely given.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of divinity, the concept of Christ Consciousness, the role of channeling in spiritual understanding, and the distinction between external prayer and internal meditation. The editorial stance appears to be that of promoting direct spiritual experience and self-realization through tuning into the universal Christ Consciousness, rather than adherence to dogma or reliance on intermediaries. It encourages questioning and personal discovery, aligning with the principles attributed to Edgar Cayce.
