This issue of 'Revelations of Awareness' delves into spiritual concepts and questions posed to 'Cosmic Awareness,' interpreted by Paul Shockley. The publication focuses on exploring spiritual truths, questioning authority, and understanding various spiritual phenomena.

"Ascended Masters" and Spiritual Hierarchy

The central article addresses a question from R.S. of St. Cloud, Minnesota, regarding three New Age light groups: Mark Age, Summit Lighthouse, and Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness (MSIA). The question probes the type of energy their leaders work with (mental, psychic, or spiritual) and the validity of their claims to be physical embodiments of immortal beings like El Morya, Naida, Lanello, Elizabeth Prophet, and John-Roger.

Cosmic Awareness responds by stating that the identity claims of these leaders are of little concern. It emphasizes that entities often claim authority to gain attention and that this relates to a hierarchy system. The core message is to evaluate entities by their 'fruits' (teachings and actions) rather than their claims of identity or authority. The analogy of a tree is used: an apple tree producing pears is a discrepancy, and a tree producing nothing is also revealing.

Awareness advises against concerning oneself with the quotings or repetitions of ideas from those claiming to be authorities. Instead, one should focus on the teachings, the message, and the awareness itself, not the messenger. Information should be examined critically, and if it cannot be verified, it can be placed on a shelf for later consideration or rejected if unprovable. The process of gathering and evaluating information over time leads to a greater capability for discerning truth.

Awareness suggests that questioning claims is appropriate but unnecessary to determine their validity. It highlights that asking for verification of authority requires relying on other authorities, creating a circular dependency. The approach recommended is to evaluate based on the general reliability and implications of the gathered information, piecing together a larger picture to form suspicions about validity.

Jehovah and Control Mechanisms

Another section, titled "How Jehovah and the Hierarchy Control Their Followers (A Lesson from Pavlov's Dogs)," addresses the concept of fear in spiritual contexts. A question is raised about whether fear-based messages, such as risking soul annihilation, are a valid part of spiritual information.

Cosmic Awareness explains that fear and punishment, contrasted with reward and paradise, have been used as motivational control systems throughout history by religions, governments, and other institutions. This is described as the 'old way' and common for less evolved entities. Jesus' teachings are presented as a shift towards a Deity of service and mercy, contrasting with Jehovah, who is depicted as a creator entity that used a system of reward and punishment.

The text suggests that Jehovah's creation of Adam and Eve, likened to cloning, was intended to create servants for his garden. This method of control through punishment and reward is seen as the foundation of Western civilization's consciousness. Spiritual organizations that stress fear and punishment are seen as perpetuating this old method of keeping entities enslaved and ignorant.

The Rapture and Alien Forces

The issue also discusses the Christian concept of the 'Rapture.' Cosmic Awareness relates this back to Jehovah's activity of creating entities for his purposes. Jesus is presented as having changed the concept of God from one of power and wrath to one of mercy, breaking down cultural separations and promoting a mystical interpretation of religion.

The 'rapture' is interpreted in several ways: as a potential surge of souls reaching Cosmic Consciousness, as entities becoming enraptured by the revisitation of Christ Consciousness within their lives (the 'Second Coming'), or as a symbolic meaning within the Book of Revelation. The possibility of a universal event is not precluded.

The 'Beast' is symbolically interpreted as the mind, selfishness, and greed-centered consciousness, contrasting with the pure, Christ Consciousness. The text also touches upon the existence of entities from other realms who can violate others, emphasizing the importance of awareness of one's own energies and methods of protection.

Entities practicing the 'Law of Love' and resisting not are considered difficult for alien forces to manipulate. Moving into higher levels of consciousness can make entities more subject to interference from those who do not wish them to evolve. Alien forces are characterized as forces living in ignorance and self-centered greed.

Celestria: The Land of a Thousand Rainbows

A question about 'Celestria' explores whether it refers to higher planes of existence and if it contains entities from which Earth entities divided during the 'fall of man.'

Cosmic Awareness describes Celestria as the 'land of Essence,' a realm of blissful energies where entities are bodies of light. Contact with others creates sparks of light and life, and the atmosphere is one of bliss. This is likened to a 'Cosmic Climax,' an exchange of bliss that is the only form of sex in this realm. The forms in Celestria are magnetic light, not physical. This realm is contrasted with the 'created realm' of the mortal world, where entities were made from material energies and immortal sparks, similar to Jehovah's creation of Adam and Eve.

The text also mentions that immortals can create mortal bodies, allowing spirits to develop and, in some cases, allowing immortals to invade these bodies for experiences denied to them. Immortality can become boring, leading immortals to seek experiences like birth and death in the mortal realms as a 'vacation.'

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of spiritual authority, the importance of critical thinking and self-discovery, and the mechanisms of control (both spiritual and societal). The publication, through 'Cosmic Awareness,' encourages questioning, research, and avoiding absolute conclusions. It advocates for evaluating teachings based on their fruits and essence rather than the claims of the messengers. The concept of spiritual evolution is central, with a contrast drawn between older, fear-based control systems and newer, love-based approaches. The existence of higher spiritual realms and potential interference from less evolved entities are also explored, with an emphasis on self-protection through love and awareness.

Content Summary

This issue of Revelations of Awareness features insights from "Cosmic Awareness" on various spiritual and existential topics. The newsletter addresses questions posed by readers, offering perspectives on the nature of consciousness, afterlife realms, and the potential for spiritual evolution.

The Relationship Between Jehovah and Rhyee

One question posed concerns the relationship between Jehovah and Rhyee. Cosmic Awareness explains that Jehovah was, at one time, the ruler of Mars and the Lord of Mars. Rhyee, on the other hand, is identified as the Lord of Earth and also as a representative or extension of the entity known as Lucifer. This establishes a hierarchical and possibly adversarial cosmic lineage.

Evolving Beyond Celestria

The newsletter then tackles the question of whether entities can evolve beyond a state called "Celestria." Cosmic Awareness describes Celestria as a realm where entities are karma-free and have a choice regarding other experiences. Entities in Celestria live in bliss but may experience complacency or boredom. When this occurs, they may seek adventure or hardship in lower realms, thus leaving Celestria. The concept of evolving beyond Celestria involves dissolving individuality into greater bliss, expanding one's aura, and merging with the "akasha and the Universal Spirit." However, entities do not necessarily remain in this state permanently and may return to experience degrees of individuality.

The Realm of Cimmeria

Following the discussion on Celestria, the newsletter introduces "The Realm of Cimmeria," described as "The point of No Return." This realm is presented as a place for immortals who cannot adjust to Celestria, Hades, or the created realms of mortals. Cimmeria is characterized as the residue of a previous creation, lacking consciousness but existing as a "mystical fog of seething unconsciousness." It is considered the deepest mystery and most dreaded area in all creation, a place from which even immortals dare not go, and entering it is likened to a "second death" from which return is seldom possible. The spelling is provided as C-I-M-M-E-R-I-A.

Cosmic Awareness and Suicide Prevention

Another significant question addressed is whether Cosmic Awareness possesses the power or desire to save entities from suicide. Cosmic Awareness clarifies that it does not wish to be perceived as an entity holding power over lives, but rather as "awareness." The newsletter posits that awareness and enlightenment have the power to prevent entities from suicide and suffering, and to bring the planet into balance, provided that entities begin to share and experience this enlightenment, and share it with Cosmic Awareness.

Editorial Notes

An "ED'S NOTE" directs readers to "Revelations of Awareness" number 78-19 for more information on Celestria and Hades. Additionally, a note clarifies that the illustrations used in the newsletters have not been approved or disapproved by Cosmic Awareness and are the responsibility of the editor. The newsletter is published by Cosmic Awareness Communications in Olympia, Washington.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of consciousness, the structure of spiritual realms (Celestria, Hades, Cimmeria), the concept of spiritual evolution, and the role of awareness in personal and planetary well-being. The editorial stance, as conveyed through Cosmic Awareness's responses, emphasizes self-awareness, shared enlightenment, and the non-interventionist yet guiding nature of this cosmic intelligence. There is a clear distinction made between different levels of existence and the potential paths entities can take based on their choices and experiences.
