The Guyana Tragedy: An Extreme Example of Mind Control

The newsletter begins by defining Cosmic Awareness as a force that has communicated through various spiritual figures and now speaks through trained channels. It emphasizes that Cosmic Awareness Communications (CAC) provides information for those interested in the New Age, but repeatedly stresses that readers should not blindly believe the messages. Instead, they are encouraged to question, explore, and discover truth for themselves.

The central theme of this issue is the Guyana Tragedy, specifically the events at Jonestown involving Jim Jones and the People's Temple. A question from an individual named S.R. prompts Cosmic Awareness to comment on how so many people could blindly follow Jones and whether followers attempted to escape his domination. The newsletter also inquires about the potential effect on the Awareness Movement.

Cosmic Awareness states that it has always warned against mind forces based on belief and the closing of consciousness, asserting that assuming, believing, or knowing hinders discovery and questioning. It reiterates that it offers suggestions and directions for search, never dictating information as fact.

The Nature of Mind Control

The publication draws a parallel between Jim Jones's methods and the practices of many other organizations, churches, and leaders throughout history. It highlights that most religions have historically told followers to ask no questions and blindly follow their leaders. Jim Jones is presented as having taken this technique to an extreme, demonstrating how far mind control can go. The newsletter suggests that if entities had been more open, questioning, and less anxious to believe, they would not have so quickly closed their minds to such influence.

It is argued that the technique of using threats of punishment (in this life or the hereafter) and promises of reward is an old method of mind control used across various cultures, religions, and civilizations. This technique has been dramatized by psychiatrists and experimenters using stimulus-response methods. The Guyana incident, while extreme, is not seen as fundamentally new but rather an unusual escalation that led to bizarre activities like mass murder and suicide.

Reflection and Self-Awareness

The newsletter suggests that observing the Guyana events may lead entities to see reflections of their own consciousness and thinking. It posits that many people separate themselves from such events, believing they would never fall victim, yet many are still deeply committed to similar types of mind control, albeit with modifications in intensity, threats, and rewards.

The Ultimate Price of Security

Techniques used by Jim Jones, including diet and physical punishments, are linked to making entities incapable of resisting. This is compared to military training and corporate occupations, where paychecks are seen as promises of temporary security. Jim Jones's rewards were promises of temporary security and afterlife. The newsletter notes that all types of organizations, including families and societies, use similar control techniques, and even parents employ them on their children.

Guyana as an Excuse to Attack Churches

Cosmic Awareness indicates that the Guyana events could be used as an excuse for churches to turn against other organizations, including the Awareness groups, accusing them of being 'cults'. This is seen as a probable outcome of the Guyana experience.

Potential Threats to the Awareness Movement

There is a potential danger to the Awareness Movement, particularly Cosmic Awareness Communications and the Aquarian Church. The newsletter suggests that planned investigations by the FBI and other organizations might target these groups, viewing them as a threat to authority and control, and potentially attempting to shut them down.

The Gathering Storm and Vulnerability

The issue references information prepared regarding 'The Gathering Storm' and an address to the 'Anti-Christ', suggesting this will bring clear communication and create vulnerability for the Aquarian Church and Cosmic Awareness Communications, potentially leading to their 'crucifixion' or 'annihilation'. However, it also presents an opportunity for dialogue based on love and mutual respect, with the 'Beast' and other powers to deal the next card.

Readers are urged to study what they have learned and continue to question their own beliefs.

Afterlife Experiences of Jim Jones and Followers

A question is raised about the afterlife situation of Jim Jones and his followers. Cosmic Awareness explains that these entities are in states of shock, wandering as spirits in the Guyana area. Many followed their bodies home and linger around loved ones. Some, particularly children and those who sought to escape, have moved on to more enjoyable experiences and are cared for in the Immortal Realms. Those who violated others have been led to Hades for processing and confinement to work off guilt. Jim Jones himself is described as being in a state of extreme confusion in Hades, likened to a babbling idiot, while his divine portions have moved toward the White Light.

Jim Jones: Reincarnation of Lenin, Not Jesus

Cosmic Awareness clarifies that Jim Jones was not the reincarnation of Jesus, as he believed, but rather the reincarnation of Lenin. The entity had previously been a powerful figure in Persia in the Second Century and an Incan leader involved in human sacrifice in the Eleventh or Twelfth Century. Essentially, Jim Jones is described as a typical human who became contemptuous, megalomaniac, psychotic, and schizophrenic, with extreme paranoia and a sadistic quality.

The Irony of Jones-Type Organizations

The newsletter notes the irony that groups like Jim Jones's could amass millions for a bizarre purpose, while entities receiving these messages struggle to support the dissemination of information. It suggests that people desire to be misled and pour fortunes into such leaders rather than supporting those who offer truth without enslavement. This is seen as a possible reason for the success of leaders like Jim Jones.

It is also suggested that Jim Jones's actions may have been part of a movement to trigger the breakdown of the separation of church and state, and that he was assisted and directed by others. The event is also framed as an experiment in mass mind-body control.

Closing Message and Request for Support

The issue concludes with a request for members to send energy, light, love, and protection to the entities making these messages possible, as they have become vulnerable and may be in danger. The newsletter states that the 'earth's karma' from this action has been removed from the Unified States of Awareness group and placed on those closest to the open channel, forcing a potential danger for them and the channel. Readers are asked to provide concern, attention, and protective White Light for at least six months.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are mind control, the dangers of blind belief versus the importance of questioning, the nature of leadership, and the potential for spiritual movements to be scrutinized or attacked. The editorial stance, as conveyed through 'Cosmic Awareness', is one of caution against unquestioning adherence to any doctrine, advocating for personal discovery and critical thinking, while also acknowledging the spiritual and energetic forces at play in the world and the potential vulnerabilities of those who channel such information.
