Title: Revelations of Awareness
Issue: 78-29
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Date: 1978
This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" delves into the spiritual and karmic dimensions of the Nazi Holocaust, presenting insights channeled through "Cosmic Awareness." The publication aims to offer a unique perspective on historical events, encouraging questioning and self-discovery rather than blind belief.
Thematic Focus: The Nazi Holocaust
The central theme of this issue is the Nazi Holocaust, explored through a question-and-answer format with "Cosmic Awareness," interpreted by Paul Shockley. The discussion is prompted by a network TV series titled 'Holocaust,' which depicted a Jewish family's experiences in Nazi Germany.
Impact of Retelling the Holocaust
A key question posed is whether retelling the tragedy of the Holocaust to children who did not live through it is beneficial or re-energizes negative experiences. Cosmic Awareness suggests that this retelling allows entities to have a "racial identification" and a "cultural history," which can be beneficial in providing a sense of understanding and dignity in relation to their religious and racial heritage. This heritage is seen as important for developing individuality.
Historical and Religious Conflicts
The text elaborates on the historical conflicts between various religious and cultural groups, including Jewish, Muslim, Mohammedan, and Christian cultures. It notes how these conflicts have been emphasized, leading to a sense of stigma for Jewish people. The Nazi movement is described as having intensified this, prompting a deep examination of Jewish philosophy and attitudes.
The Concept of "God of Power"
Cosmic Awareness discusses the concept of a "god of power," which it associates with Jehovah. This god is described as favoring one people over another and is linked to the forces controlling the material world. The text suggests that entities who follow this "god of power, lust and greed" may serve it only as long as they remain insensitive to feelings of mercy and love.
The Crucifixion and Karmic Curse
The crucifixion of Christ is presented as a symbolic action and a "sacrificial lamb" event that marked the end of the Age of Aries and the entry into the Piscean Age. The narrative of Jesus being slain by Jews is identified as a statement that has historically contributed to hostility toward the Jewish race from those following Christian doctrines. The use of the Talmud is also mentioned as a point of conflict.
Repercussions and the Wheel of Karma
This Awareness indicates that the conflicts stemming from religious teachings have resulted in bloodshed and hostility, describing the Holocaust as an "unnecessary tragedy." It emphasizes that actions, even seemingly small ones, can have repercussions felt centuries later. The "Wheel of Karma" is described as spinning and seeking revenge until entities choose to stop it by ceasing to seek revenge.
Bigotry and Tolerance
The issue directly addresses ongoing hostility toward Jewish people, questioning how much more sacrifice is needed before bigotry ceases. It highlights that each entity has the potential to reincarnate into any race, culture, or nation, and that planting seeds of hostility can lead to experiencing that hostility in future lives. The importance of developing sensitivity, love, and compassion, and realizing the "true meaning of the Law of Tolerance," is stressed.
Effect of TV Reenactments on Children
Regarding the TV reenactment of the Holocaust, Cosmic Awareness states that it allows children to recognize their heritage, face facts of their racial or cultural memory, and discover through vicarious experience the bigotry and stigma associated with the event. It notes that the reasons behind the Nazi actions were not clearly presented, and the punishment often seemed to outweigh the crime.
The Nature of Tragedy and Ignorance
Cosmic Awareness suggests that the Nazi "final solution" was not a solution but created a greater problem. True solutions can only come when entities are capable of communicating and reconciling conflicts. The text argues that while victims may resent the experience and violators may justify their actions, this is meaningless without sensitivity, love, and compassion. The self-righteous can express indignation, but the spiritual entity expresses love, forgiveness, and mercy.
Unspeakable Violations and Learning
The issue states that there are "no words that can describe or explain or summarize" the violations created by such experiences. While the human mind may desire to categorize and forget, this is deemed "pure foolishness." Entities can only move on and learn individually from experiences. As time passes, greater objectivity will allow for learning from these past events.
Future Implications
It is suggested that many viewers of the recent Holocaust drama began to understand lessons that will help them and their children avoid similar negative experiences in the future.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
Recurring themes include the concept of karma, spiritual evolution, the interconnectedness of all beings, and the importance of tolerance and love. The editorial stance, as conveyed through Cosmic Awareness, is one of spiritual guidance, encouraging introspection, understanding of historical patterns, and the development of higher consciousness through empathy and forgiveness. The publication advocates for a non-dogmatic approach, urging readers to question, explore, and discover truth for themselves.
