Title: Revelations of Awareness
Issue: 78-47
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Date: Undetermined (Cover date not legible)
This issue of Revelations of Awareness, published by Cosmic Awareness Communications, delves into spiritual and metaphysical guidance, primarily through channeled messages attributed to 'Cosmic Awareness' and interpreted by Paul Shockley. The content focuses on assisting individuals through significant life transitions, understanding spiritual concepts, and interpreting historical and religious texts.
Working with the Terminally Ill and After Death
The main cover story, "Working with the Terminally Ill (And What to Do After the Death)," addresses a reader's questions about hospice volunteering. Cosmic Awareness emphasizes that providing information to lessen sorrow and suffering is not only a right but an obligation. It suggests that while one should not impose beliefs, presenting information in a palatable way that augments the individual's existing beliefs is crucial. The guidance extends to comforting the dying, suggesting they be encouraged to look for loved ones and the 'Clear Light' upon passing over, and to avoid lingering earthbound spirits.
Regarding the transition after death, Cosmic Awareness advises against definitive statements like 'This is how it will be,' instead suggesting that reports from studies, books like 'The Tibetan Book of the Dead,' and interviews with those who have had near-death experiences can be shared. It highlights that some entities may not immediately recognize their passing and may hide from the 'Clear Light,' leading to them being earthbound. The advice is to encourage entities to seek and bathe in the 'Clear Light.'
Post-Mortem Guidance and Body Integrity
Questions arise about the timing of suggestions after death and the integrity of the physical body. Cosmic Awareness indicates that suggestions can be effective for at least two to three days after passing. It also strongly advises against touching or mutilating the body for 48 to 72 hours after death, suggesting this time allows the entity's identification with the body to leave. Mutilation before complete departure can cause a shock with karmic effects in future lifetimes. The concept of the '49 days' from Tibetan traditions is mentioned as symbolizing spiritual progression.
Organ Transplants and Psychic Shock
The issue addresses the practice of organ transplants occurring shortly after death. Cosmic Awareness states that the body should not be touched for at least 12 hours, and ideally 48-72 hours, to allow the entity to detach. It warns that seeing one's body mutilated can be emotionally distressing for the spirit, especially if not informed beforehand. The entity may appear to be standing and alive, not realizing they have died. The message can be conveyed telepathically to assist entities in letting go.
The 'Beast' and Societal Control
Several sections of the magazine explore the concept of the 'Beast,' described as a system of government, corporations, and manipulators seeking to control individuals through deception, hypnosis, and mind control, rather than physical force. Proposition 13 in California is discussed as a potential 'slap' against this 'Beast,' a hopeful sign that people are waking up, though it is seen as only a start. Cosmic Awareness suggests that true opposition to the 'Beast' requires conscious realization and revelation, leading to a battle of the mind rather than physical revolution.
The March on Washington and Government Relations
A question about a planned march on Washington D.C. to change consciousness is addressed. Cosmic Awareness views this as an 'alchemical possibility' and a potent form of energy that will affect the nation's future by showing the 'Beast' that people are awake and cannot be ignored. Regarding the U.S. Government, Cosmic Awareness clarifies that it is not opposed to it, seeing it as a potential delivery from the 'Beast.' However, it expresses concern that the 'Beast' has infiltrated government and the minds of elected officials.
Biblical Interpretation and the Nazarene Order
The issue delves into alternative interpretations of biblical texts. It suggests that the term 'Jesus of Nazareth' might be a misinterpretation, and that 'Jesus the Nazarene' refers to a mystical order connected to the Essenes. The publication also questions the biblical narrative of the Jews' captivity, suggesting it was Egypt, not Babylon, and that the 'Wisdom of Solomon' predates Solomon by centuries. The authenticity of the Bible is questioned, with the assertion that many of its stories are derived from earlier Egyptian, Hindu, Arabic, Greek, Babylonian, and Chaldean writings, and that the Bible was assembled later, not during Christ's time.
Tarot and its Connection to the Bible
Cosmic Awareness draws parallels between the Tarot and the Bible, suggesting that the Tarot originated from Egyptian and Babylonian traditions and symbolizes secret teachings. The first Tarot cards are said to reflect creation, with specific cards like the 8th (strength/passion), the Hanged Man (trance/transformation), the Tower (separateness), the Sun (judgment/realization), and the Moon (soul's journey) being linked to biblical stories and concepts. The Tarot is presented as an Egyptian version of the Hebrew Bible, with Hebrew letters also holding philosophical and numerological significance.
Morality and Prostitution
In a section titled "Concerning Stripping Naked for Money (What's Wrong with Prostitution?)," Cosmic Awareness states that, from its perspective, there is 'nothing wrong with anything.' The primary concern is actions that create sorrow, suffering, and tragedy. While morality is deemed less important, the impact of actions on oneself and others is paramount. It suggests that patterns can lead to lifestyles, situations, and ultimately tragedy, urging self-examination regarding the potential for sorrow and suffering.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual guidance, the nature of consciousness, and the transition through death. Cosmic Awareness consistently emphasizes self-discovery, questioning, and the importance of spiritual evolution. The publication appears to challenge conventional religious and historical narratives, offering alternative interpretations of biblical texts and spiritual phenomena. The editorial stance is one of providing insights and suggestions for individuals to explore and discover truth for themselves, rather than dictating beliefs. There is a strong focus on the mind as the primary battleground for control and realization, with an emphasis on conscious awareness over external authority or physical force.
Title: REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS
Issue: 11
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Country: USA
Language: English
This issue of REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS delves into several distinct topics, including the purported benefits of negative ion generators, the spiritual and physical challenges faced by 'wanderers' and 'voyagers,' and the impact of tension and responsibility on an individual's well-being.
Negative Ion Generators
The issue addresses a question from a member, V.W. of Campbell, California, regarding the claims made by negative ion generators. Cosmic Awareness explains that these devices are believed to balance the aura surrounding the physical body, allowing for the discharge of static energies. This process is said to affect the nervous system, promoting feelings of harmony and relaxation. The explanation highlights that negative ions can counteract the effects of excess positive ions, which are often generated by furnaces, particularly in homes or offices with long heating ducts that create turbulence. Such environments can lead to irritability and nervousness among occupants. The text contrasts this with furnaces that emit heat directly, suggesting they are less inclined to create positive ions. Positive ions are also linked to busy traffic lanes, especially in hot weather and on cement highways with limited greenery. Conversely, areas with parks, meadows, and greater vegetation are noted for their negative ions, as are times just prior to and during electric storms, and falling rain. These naturally occurring negative ions are described as having refreshing and healing effects, particularly for hypertension and tensions caused by nervousness or anxieties.
An "ED'S NOTE" mentions that ads for negative ion generators are appearing in New Age magazines, with prices ranging from approximately $69 for desk-size models to $149 for room-size units. The author of the note reports a personal experience of increased energy and lighter workload in their office after using a room-size model, and suggests that if enough members are interested, they might explore becoming a dealer.
Problems Afflicting Wanderers and Voyagers of the New Age
This section addresses a question concerning a pattern of physical problems experienced by entities working within the Awareness Movement. The question notes that individuals who are mindful of their diet are still being affected, often in areas that were previously problematic, such as lung or kidney issues. The Interpreter themselves has been experiencing headaches and muscle tension.
Cosmic Awareness refers to 'wanderers' or 'voyagers' of the universe – entities who reincarnate into civilizations to raise their vibration. It is suggested that these entities often possess physical weaknesses due to the difficulty of maintaining high spiritual energy while entering the gross physical form. This is particularly noted during childhood, where they may experience difficulties with physical health, adapting to school, or holding conventional jobs. Generally, these entities find it challenging to fit into society. The text explains that when such entities begin to look inward to discover their true purpose, they often realize they must work in a way that serves to better the world, often by becoming their own boss or working in a capacity that allows them autonomy.
Some of these entities awaken to the realization that they do not belong on Earth but have come to assist in raising vibrations. They generally adjust to this realization and proceed with their purpose. However, as these entities move into higher spiritual levels, they can encounter physical difficulties as their consciousness changes. The movement toward higher vibration can result in a negative reaction on the physical body, which is seen as the price for rapid adjustment. The advice is to attend to these physical reactions and ensure the body returns to proper alignment before continuing with spiritual pursuits. The process is likened to the body being given higher frequencies of energy to transmute and integrate. Additionally, there are instances of external forces attempting to invade the psyche of those working at high spiritual levels to disrupt their efforts. Protection is recommended through White Light Meditations or Banishing Rituals.
An "ED's Note" directs readers to previous issues of Revelations of Awareness for further information on these protective techniques.
Alleviating Headaches and Shoulder Pains
In response to a specific question about the Interpreter's recent headaches and shoulder pains, Cosmic Awareness attributes these issues to excessive tension accumulated over the past year. This tension stems from the entity feeling responsible for more than they can handle. When such responsibilities are not met, it can lead to feelings of guilt, self-blame, and low self-esteem, which in turn create weaknesses in the aura. These weaknesses can allow for invasion by forces that hinder the entity's work.
To address this, it is suggested that the entity work on restoring their aura through daily meditation and visualization. Furthermore, reassessing capabilities and responsibilities is advised, so that the entity accepts only what they can realistically handle. Where possible, sharing this responsibility with others is also recommended.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around personal well-being, both physical and energetic, and the spiritual journey of individuals who feel a calling to contribute to a higher purpose. The publication consistently adopts a perspective that integrates spiritual concepts with practical advice for navigating life's challenges. The editorial stance appears to be one of guidance and support for those on a path of self-discovery and spiritual growth, emphasizing the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and spiritual states. The concept of 'Awareness' itself serves as a guiding principle, offering insights and explanations for phenomena that may be perplexing to the individual.
