This issue of 'Revelations of Awareness' presents a profile of the Cosmic Awareness Communications (C.A.C.) membership, as interpreted by Paul Shockley, Trance-Interpreter. The newsletter aims to provide insights into the nature and purpose of individuals who are drawn to this movement.

A Profile of the C.A.C. Membership

The opening message, dated August 3, 1980, indicates that the general membership of C.A.C. is rapidly progressing in their personal development and attentiveness. This membership is also serving a crucial function in preparing for new energies. By being responsive as a collective unit and open to new ideas and discoveries, they are assisting in the formation of new energies for purposes yet to be revealed. The Awareness suggests that the membership is becoming more adept and highly developed beings.

Is It An Accident of Circumstance That Entities Join C.A.C.?

This section addresses whether joining C.A.C. is a matter of chance or a result of karmic connections from past lives. Cosmic Awareness indicates that many core members have been involved in similar operations across multiple lifetimes. These entities are referred to as 'Wanderers,' who travel between planets to help raise consciousness. Many C.A.C. members are believed to have belonged to significant historical and spiritual groups, including royalty in Egypt, the Essenes, early Christian groups, followers of Krishna and Buddha, and secret societies that preserved the 'Law of One' from Atlantis. Some were also part of Polynesian Kahunas, Lemurian cultures, and Native American tribes.

Furthermore, some entities have had few lifetimes on Earth but gained extensive experience on other planets. Their purpose as Wanderers is to raise consciousness. These individuals, driven by a desire for deeper understanding, are ready to explore unknown fields of consciousness and find answers to questions arising from various religious systems, often finding these answers through Awareness communications.

Some C.A.C. Members Jump Around

This part of the newsletter explores why entities join and remain in the Awareness Movement. Many are disillusioned with other religions or philosophies that failed to meet their needs and seek supplemental understanding for their personal belief systems. Generally, those who join and stay have open minds ready for discovery. Some may seek faster progress and join other organizations, which might offer quickened pace but can lead to restrictive paths and slower development due to perceived expense and commitment.

Cosmic Awareness acknowledges that its communication methods, while touching consciousness and imparting wisdom, may lack the physical action and participation on emotional and physical levels. The Aquarian Church of Universal Service is designed to help bridge this gap by providing charters, Development Classes, rituals, and services to facilitate putting these words into action. The process has been slow but is expected to gain momentum, with efforts focused on a 'peace college' to enact these principles.

The newsletter suggests that as entities fully grasp the system presented, they will move from mentally ingesting words to a state where words and actions flow together. This integration is seen as the next step in the Awareness Movement, particularly as messages related to the Sea of Libra and Scorpio are understood, leading to actions that transform the plane.

Are Most of the C.A.C. Membership Still Carmelites?

This question probes the connection between current C.A.C. members and the Carmelite movement, referencing information provided by the entity Ralph Duby years ago. Cosmic Awareness confirms that many in the present organization were involved in the Carmelite period. However, it clarifies that the majority of those involved in the early Organization of Awareness were the ones connected to the Carmelite era, while many presently involved in Cosmic Awareness Communications were not.

A word about the Carmelites

This section elaborates on the Carmelite connection. When the Organization of Awareness began in 1963, it was stated that 144 entities would gather. Many of these were later identified in readings as belonging to the Carmelites, a radical 16th-century group of disillusioned Catholics who felt the church was too self-serving. These entities sought to serve humanity through mystical aspects of Christianity. They met in secret and listened to Cosmic Awareness through a wealthy lady shipbuilder, identified as Ralph Duby in that incarnation. Pursued by the Pope's spies during the Inquisition, many were persecuted. Intrigue and power struggles within these groups led to a betrayal of a meeting in Toledo, Spain, where Awareness was to reveal crucial information. This led to the slaughter, torture, and burning of many entities, effectively destroying the Awareness Movement until 1963 when Ralph Duby reappeared as a channel.

Awareness later indicated that besides returning Rhyee to Essence, much karma accumulated by these entities needed to be worked out. The karma of the Organization of Awareness membership was resolved. Awareness has indicated that current C.A.C. members are mainly Wanderers, who are karma-free and do not create karma even if they fail in their mission. A primary job for these entities was to frustrate the long-term plan of Ahriman (the Anti-Christ) and his plan to enslave humanity.

How Your Awareness Is Expanding

This section, presented as a 'Closing Message,' reflects on the impact of Cosmic Awareness messages over the years. While some messages raised questions, others provided answers, and some led to disputes and conflicts. Many questions remain unanswered, and answered questions often lead to more questions. The overall effect is that entities involved are experiencing openings in their consciousness, exploring new realms, ideas, and concepts, thereby expanding their awareness. The goal is not necessarily to provide definitive answers but to assist entities in discovering areas that need further questioning and to explore consciousness in greater depth.

Religious Concepts and Consciousness Expansion

Fifty years prior to this publication, religious concepts were narrow, with arguments centered around limited scriptural interpretations. Disputes were heated but confined. Currently, entities have a much larger field of religious concepts and ideas to explore, discuss, and philosophize about. This expansion of concepts has led to a proportional expansion in the consciousness level of entities, allowing them to discuss a wide variety of topics rather than being limited to a narrow viewpoint.

Despite current difficulties, entities are becoming more aware of the universe and their consciousness is expanding through various means: philosophies, religions, communications, media (drama, television, theater, magazines, newspapers), personal experiences, and scientific theories. All these factors contribute to changing and expanding the field of consciousness.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual development, the nature of consciousness, past-life connections, and the role of 'Wanderers' in guiding humanity towards a New Age. The editorial stance, as communicated through 'Cosmic Awareness' and interpreted by Paul Shockley, is one of encouraging self-discovery, questioning, and the integration of spiritual understanding with practical action. There is a strong emphasis on the idea that individuals are part of a larger cosmic plan, with specific missions related to spiritual evolution and the counteraction of negative forces. The newsletter promotes a non-dogmatic approach, urging readers to discover truth for themselves rather than blindly accepting any statements.
