Title: Revelations of Awareness
Issue: 79-7
Date: 1979
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Country: USA
Language: English

This issue of 'Revelations of Awareness' focuses on the dangers of excessive positive thinking and the concept of spiritual snobbery and vampirism. It argues that ignoring negative realities is a form of ignorance and irresponsibility, and that true spiritual awareness involves confronting these realities.

The Spiritual Snob (Ignoring the Beast with Positive Thinking)

The main article addresses a letter from a member who believes Cosmic Awareness Communications (C.A.C.) is spreading negativity. The publication, through 'Cosmic Awareness' interpreted by Paul Shockley, refutes this, explaining that ignoring negative realities does not make them disappear. It criticizes the idea that simply thinking positively can change external circumstances, likening it to 'mental masturbation' and a delusion that prevents genuine engagement with the world's problems.

The text emphasizes that entities must start from 'what is' and work towards higher vibrations, rather than ignoring problems. It states that entities who ignore suffering or negative situations are not contributing to the earth and are essentially ignorant. The article draws a parallel to the followers of Jim Jones, who gave up their possessions for a promised utopia, highlighting the potential dangers of blind faith and ignoring reality.

It distinguishes between beneficial positive thinking, which relates to self-improvement and capabilities, and the avoidance of negative situations, such as ignoring a dying child or a car accident. The publication asserts that true healing and progress come from acknowledging suffering and working through it, not by pretending it doesn't exist.

Investments in the Stocks of the War Machine (Contributing to the Beast)

This section critiques individuals, particularly women in the United States, who invest in industries that contribute to war and conflict, such as munitions and defense systems. It highlights the irony of these individuals enjoying a comfortable life while their investments indirectly cause suffering and tragedy. The article points out that many plead ignorance about where their money goes, but this ignorance is not an excuse.

It further criticizes those who object to the 'negativity' expressed by C.A.C., labeling them as 'spiritual snobs' who delude themselves into thinking they are contributing positively by ignoring difficult truths. The text defines a snob as someone who pretends nobility but lacks it, contrasting them with a noble person who understands current realities.

The Spiritual Vampire

This section defines 'spiritual vampires' as entities who feed off the energies of others without giving back, seeking comfort and gratification at the expense of others. It suggests that many entities believe they have earned their freedom or inheritance through mere words of thanks, rather than through service. True repayment, it argues, comes from service, not just acknowledgment.

The article posits that entities have the potential to be either a 'god of creative and divine force' or a 'vampire.' It explains that vampires are in a process of self-destruction, while creative and vital entities are in a process of development and growth. It encourages entities to tap into their own creative and divine energies rather than relying on others.

Should the Edgar Cayce Foundation Inform Its Membership on What Is Coming?

This section addresses a question regarding the dissemination of information about impending crises ('the Gathering Storm') to the Edgar Cayce Foundation's membership. Cosmic Awareness suggests that if the entity, Hugh Lynn Cayce, is open to it, disseminating this information could be beneficial. It highlights the urgency of the coming years, mentioning the 'Mark of the Beast' and efforts to enslave humanity, and emphasizes that individuals have a choice in how they respond to this information.

The publication states that it does not wish to pressure entities but to make them aware, enabling them to make clear decisions. It suggests that entities who are capable and willing can respond if the information is presented clearly and without 'strings attached.' Three alternatives for involvement are presented: through one's own organization, independent involvement, or group involvement.

An editor's note clarifies that C.A.C. has previously contacted Mr. Cayce with requests to inform his membership about the 'heavy times' and to consider trade center activity, but has received little response. It encourages readers who believe the 'Awareness' material to write to Mr. Cayce.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the critique of superficial spirituality, particularly the avoidance of difficult realities through excessive positive thinking and spiritual snobbery. The publication strongly advocates for confronting truth, taking responsibility for one's actions and the collective karma of humanity, and engaging in service rather than passive acknowledgment. The editorial stance is one of urging awareness, critical thinking, and active participation in addressing global challenges, contrasting this with complacency and self-delusion. The concept of spiritual vampirism serves as a metaphor for entities who take without giving, ultimately leading to their own decline.
