This issue of Revelations of Awareness focuses on a meditation technique designed to help individuals overcome fears, particularly those deemed unnecessary. The content is channeled through Paul Shockley, who serves as a Trance-Interpreter for Cosmic Awareness Communications.

Meditation for Overcoming Fear

The core of this issue is a guided meditation presented by Cosmic Awareness. The process begins with the suggestion to get comfortable, either sitting or lying down. Participants are then instructed to visualize the specific fear or its cause directly in front of them. This fear could stem from various situations, such as job interviews, conversations, or other experiences that evoke an inappropriate or unnecessary sense of fear.

The meditation emphasizes the realization that one can deal with a situation without this fear. To achieve this, the visualization shifts: the individual imagines their own body growing progressively larger, while the visualized fear-causing situation simultaneously becomes smaller and smaller, diminishing in significance. This process is to be continued until the situation appears as small as a dot.

Once the situation is reduced to this minimal size, the individual is encouraged to decide how they will deal with that 'dot' in a manner that suits them. Following this, a physical grounding action is recommended. This involves chanting 'AUM' three times and performing a gesture with the hands. This physical action serves to ground the newly developed attitude or mental state.

Understanding Consciousness and Grounding

Cosmic Awareness highlights the importance of imagery in dealing with consciousness and 'magic' (defined as the changing of consciousness). However, it stresses that any change in consciousness must be accompanied by a deliberate physical action. This action acts as a grounding mechanism for the new state of consciousness, allowing the physical body and the subconscious levels of the being to accept the changes as factual.

Examples of physical grounding actions include snapping the fingers, blinking the eyes, forming patterns with the hands, or even stamping a foot or turning in a circle. The key is that the physical action solidifies the mental or conscious imaging.

The Significance of 'AUM'

An 'ED's Note' clarifies the use of 'AUM'. The chanting of 'AUM' three times is a practice used in Cosmic Awareness Development Classes to summon Awareness. The vibration of 'AUM' is described as sacred, meaning 'God', and has been used by various esoteric groups for ages.

Awareness has indicated that vibrating 'AUM' three times can offer protection in crisis situations. The recommended method of vibrating 'AUM' is slowly, sounding like 'Aaaa coomm', which is said to cause the nose to vibrate when done correctly. The note also suggests listening to the Moody Blues LP recording, 'In Search of the Lost Chord,' for a better understanding of how 'AUM' is vibrated.

This meditation can also be used in conjunction with another practice, 'Meditation for Protection and Healing Yourself,' previously featured in Revelations of Awareness 78-36.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The publication, Revelations of Awareness, is presented as a cosmic newsletter by Cosmic Awareness Communications. The editorial stance, as conveyed through the channeled messages, is one of guidance and suggestion rather than dogma. Readers are encouraged not to believe blindly but to question, explore, doubt, and discover the truth for themselves. The content is intended for those entering the 'New Age' of spiritual consciousness and awareness, drawing upon the wisdom of past avatars and a contemporary channeled force known as Cosmic Awareness.
