Magazine Overview

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" (81-6), a New-Age Cosmic Newsletter published by Cosmic Awareness Communications, focuses on spiritual and extraterrestrial themes, with a cover headline proclaiming "That Great Telephone in the Sky." The issue delves into the significance of the "First World Conclave of Light" and the proposed linking of Earth with the "Galactic Confederation," as well as exploring the nature of channeling, the ethics of spiritual guidance, and health-related topics.

The First World Conclave of Light and the Interplanetary Confederation

The central theme of the issue revolves around an announcement from the Unarius Educational Foundation in El Cajon, California, regarding the "First World Conclave of Light" held on October 21, 1980, in San Diego. This event was intended to inaugurate the "Interplanetary Confederation," with Earth being invited to become its 33rd member. The announcement card invited people to vote on whether "Space Brothers" should come to Earth in their craft. The publication features a question posed to "Cosmic Awareness" about the significance of this event and Earth's relationship with the Confederation.

Cosmic Awareness responds by stating that the significance of such an action depends on entities accepting its premise as true and real. It suggests that while any individual can make such a claim, its significance comes when entities accept the statements and they are presented in a way that allows for acceptance. The "York Convention" in 1977, which inaugurated the "Unified States of Awareness," is cited as a similar event. Cosmic Awareness indicates that joining the Intergalactic Confederation would require the agreement of a large number of entities on Earth. It emphasizes that the statement itself, though a "tiny voice," has been heard and can spread through the mass-mind. The entity making the claim is believed to genuinely believe it, but Cosmic Awareness states that it is not concerned with whether others believe it, unless such belief creates problems. The focus is on what it would take for Earth to achieve agreement and alignment with the Confederation, noting that significant changes are necessary and are occurring rapidly, driven by vibrations and behavior rather than claims of divine right.

Channeling, Teachers, and Devotion

Cosmic Awareness addresses the channeling activities of Ruth Norman, head of the Unarius Foundation, acknowledging that her messages contain valid information regarding galactic affairs. However, it points out a "personality coloration" where Norman appears to center consciousness around herself, seeing herself as a significant point of interest and an entity who has suffered greatly. This is described as creating a "messiah energy" where she appears to save those who wronged her in past incarnations, collecting their devotion. This is characterized as a form of manipulation using "deceptive energies for personal glory." While messages of Love, Unity, and Harmony are considered good, the deep concern lies with the concept of devotion to a specific entity.

The publication warns that entities seeking to be a central force of power, holding the devotion of others, can gain significant power, which can be used for good or ill, citing Jim Jones and Mahatma Gandhi as examples. The danger arises when an entity claims "Divine Right to rule this planet" and is accepted by others, potentially creating significant problems. The issue of entities competing to be "The Voice" or "The Ruler" is discussed, noting how persistent affirmation from followers can lead an entity to believe they are the spokesperson for the planet. The advice given is to avoid making such claims and instead to simply give forth the truth, letting the messages hold the power.

The Nature of Teachers and Learning

Cosmic Awareness draws a parallel between channeling entities and telephones, warning against worshipping the "telephone" (channel) rather than the message. It advises against becoming an obedient servant to teachers or gurus, as this can become a burden and lead to neglecting one's own duties and development. Entities are encouraged to learn from various sources, including children, the seemingly insane, and even enemies, as all can be channels of information. The danger of attuning only to one source is highlighted, leading to a "cutting off" from other perspectives. It is stressed that a proper teacher guides individuals to connect with their own "Higher Self" and "Divine Guides," rather than acting as an intermediary who claims exclusive access.

Misinformation and Learning Lessons

A question is raised about a situation where an acquaintance heard an "inner voice" predict John Anderson would win the presidency, leading to a large bet that resulted in a loss. Cosmic Awareness explains that "mischief-makers" or "disincarnated spirits" can sometimes deliver misinformation, and that entities channeling voices should be doubted until proven accurate over time. In this specific case, it is suggested that the "inner voice" was an expression of the entity's own subconscious desire for money, fueled by political attention, rather than external misinformation. The experience is framed as an "expensive learning lesson" about the subconscious mind and the nature of desire.

Opening Channels and Spiritual Forces

For those seeking to open their channels, Cosmic Awareness issues a warning about potential dangers. While circumstances can lead to the opening of a channel, it is crucial that this is guided by spiritual forces, not personal will. There is a risk that "low spiritual forces" or "Alien Force" energies might be opening the channel. Cosmic Awareness mentions "Cosmic Laws" that can help identify and avoid such alien energies. It also refers to "Basic Development Classes" offered through the Aquarian Church as a way to progress spiritually and feel safe when opening a channel. The motive for opening a channel should not be for personal significance but should arise from deep within, guided by inner plane forces. Support for channels is encouraged, but not worship.

Fundraising Ethics and the Jerry Lewis Telethon

The issue questions the ethics of fundraising, specifically referencing the annual Jerry Lewis Telethon. A question is posed about the suppressed truths (like cosmic laws and nutrition) during such events and where the millions of dollars raised actually go, suggesting it might be a "rip-off." Cosmic Awareness comments that fundraising has become a "big business" where little of the money actually goes to the intended causes. It expresses wonder that people continue to give when money doesn't reach its intended recipients. The publication suggests that entities interested in contributing should seek information on how funds are distributed and notes that while ethical guidelines generally exist, some organizations do not follow them. It also points out that some fundraising programs continue their operations by neglecting to find solutions to the problems they aim to address, as solutions could eliminate their industry.

Coffee Additives and Health

A question arises about drugs being added to coffee to slow people down mentally. Cosmic Awareness suggests this is related to the commercial processing of coffee, where additives like saltpeter might be included to slow down sexual drive, potentially as part of a plan to reduce population growth. It notes that some smaller, independent companies may offer coffee free of such substances. Information on coffee ingredients is expected to be available in about six months. While moderate coffee consumption may not be harmful to some, it can cause detrimental effects like extreme nervousness, constipation, or serve as a laxative for others. Excessive use can harm the liver and kidneys. The publication distinguishes between natural grounds and instant/decaffeinated coffees, suggesting the latter contain more harmful chemicals. It advises choosing 100% coffee, particularly from higher elevations and commercially grown, high-quality beans, or grinding beans oneself.

Diet and Spiritual Evolution

Cosmic Awareness discusses diet in relation to spiritual growth, advocating for a gradual shift towards a vegetarian diet. It suggests moving away from heavy meats, particularly pork and beef, and reducing sugar intake, substituting with wholesome foods. The publication emphasizes that diet should not become a religion or the measure of spiritual life, but rather a natural consequence of evolving awareness and a life of love and tolerance. It acknowledges that some vegetarians might need to incorporate other proteins in urgent situations. The core message is that as mankind progresses in awareness, the need for animal consumption decreases, and with proper spiritual training, the goal might be to live on less food, potentially even water, air, and light, though attempting this prematurely is cautioned against.

Polarizers and Intelligence

A question is posed about the effect of "Sam Millar's Polarizers" on children, specifically a five-year-old, and the potential impact of the North pole on future children. Cosmic Awareness suggests that the use of the North pole is beneficial, allowing for greater sensitivity, intelligence, and discernment, which in turn can lead to a longer lifespan. It indicates that increased sensitivity can lead to more cautious development and adaptability, helping entities avoid troublesome situations. The publication notes that Sam Millar is still making these Polarizers and provides information on how to obtain them.

The Future and Changing Times

The issue concludes with a message titled "IF YOU THINK TODAY IS WEIRD---WAIT UNTIL 1990," indicating that the world in 1980 is vastly different from previous decades, and that the years 1990 and 2000 will be even more dramatically changed, making 1980 seem tame in comparison.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of "Revelations of Awareness" are the exploration of higher consciousness, extraterrestrial contact, and spiritual guidance. The editorial stance, as channeled through Cosmic Awareness, is one of caution and discernment. It encourages critical thinking, questioning, and self-discovery rather than blind faith or worship of external sources, whether they be channels, teachers, or organizations. There is a strong emphasis on personal responsibility for spiritual growth and the importance of understanding the underlying energies and motives behind spiritual claims and practices. The publication also promotes a holistic approach to well-being, encompassing diet, mental clarity, and spiritual development, while warning against manipulation and the pitfalls of ego-driven spiritual pursuits.

Title: REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS
Issue: No. 4
Date: January 13, 1981
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Country: USA
Language: English

This issue of Revelations of Awareness features a question and answer segment addressing sinusitis, followed by extensive discussions on spiritual concepts, karma, ascension, and the nature of reality.

Is There a Cure for Sinusitis?

The issue begins with a question from A.C. of Ft. Mill, S.C., asking for a cure for sinusitis. Cosmic Awareness responds by suggesting several approaches. Firstly, it advises against using general sinus sprays and tablets, as they can weaken membranes, increase secretions, and have harmful side effects like raising blood pressure. Instead, it recommends using homeopathic cell salts, which can be found in health food stores, and consulting books that describe their use for different symptoms. The response also mentions the 'nasal specific' procedure, often performed by chiropractic and naturopathic doctors, which involves expanding the sinus cavities with a balloon-like object. This procedure is described as potentially beneficial not only for sinus problems but also for opening up the frontal bones of the face, allowing more room for brain growth and potentially enhancing intelligence and personality.

Furthermore, the response suggests that sinus problems can sometimes be a symptom of spinal conditions, particularly issues with the Atlas vertebra. Dietary recommendations include avoiding milk, cheeses, and other mucus-forming foods, such as white flour products, sugars, dairy products, and red meats, while some yogurt may be acceptable.

A footnote points to "The Biochemic Handbook--How to get Well and Keep Fit with Biochemic Tissue Salts" as a resource for cell salts, available for $1.50.

When Entities Abuse The Body Too Long (Heading for the Junkyard)

This section, presented as a closing message, uses the analogy of a car and a mechanic to discuss the human body. It emphasizes that the body is a remarkable construction capable of self-repair but has limitations. Entities are encouraged to become aware of their body's needs and recognize abusive habits. The message highlights that those who are healthy may not be concerned about protecting their health and often indulge in physically abusive habits. When problems arise, they may seek a doctor to 'fix' them, similar to taking a car to a mechanic. However, if the abusive habits persist, the mechanic (doctor) may eventually state that nothing more can be done, or that the body is beyond repair. The message concludes that eventually, the entity's body must be attended to by the entity themselves, and consequences of abuse will be suffered.

Linking Up The "Lights"

This section contains an editor's comment and correspondence related to Ruth Norman and the Unarius Foundation, and Cosmic Awareness (CAC). The editor's note introduces a reading about Ruth Norman and mentions that the Unarius Foundation's letterhead features a photograph of her.

Correspondence:

• 1/9/81: Avaton of CAC writes to Ruth Norman, enclosing a response from Cosmic Awareness regarding her activities. Avaton mentions that Awareness had previously suggested offering Ruth Norman's book on the Orion empire to members, finding some of the channeled information valid. Avaton expresses a desire to purchase a quantity of the second volume of her book.
• 1/12/81: Vaughn Spaegel, Public Relations Director for Unarius Foundation, replies to Avaton. Spaegel expresses strong disapproval of Avaton's letter, calling it a 'conglomeration of chit-chat' and suggesting Avaton is being fooled. Spaegel claims that Avaton was a 'negative leader' in the Orion Nucleus millions of years ago and is now projecting hostility due to unresolved issues. Spaegel states that he screened the letter and did not pass the 'insults' to Ruth Norman, noting it was only the second 'crank letter' received in 26 years.
• 1/17/81: Avaton of CAC writes to Vaughn Spaegel, apologizing for Spaegel's judgment without reading the entire message. Avaton clarifies that the Cosmic Awareness message did not put Ruth Norman down but rather addressed the means by which she holds followers. Avaton requests that Ruth Norman be allowed to read the message to reconcile certain energies and make realizations.
• 1/22/81: Ruth Norman writes to Paul Shockley of CAC, requesting an akashic reading from Uriel. Uriel then provides a reading about Paul Shockley, identifying him as a soul who, along with others, vied for 'top man' positions in the Orion Nebulae and developed negative actions that made their worlds uninhabitable. Uriel states that Shockley is reliving this time and sees Ruth Norman as a controller, a role he himself held. Uriel suggests that Shockley's accusations stem from his past Orion experiences and urges him to apologize to Ruth Norman and retract his statements.

ED's Note: The editor notes that the channeling for Paul Shockley stirred up controversy, with Unarius students labeling Cosmic Awareness as a 'lower astral negative force'. The note also mentions receiving letters from Unarius Foundation warning members against associating with Paul Shockley or CAC. It also references an event where Archangel Uriel (associated with Ruth Norman) touted herself as 'ruler of the planet earth' and held a spectacle to welcome a UFO.

(CAC members wishing to comment are invited to write Ruth Norman, Unarius Ed. Foundation, PO Box 1042, El Cajon, Ca. 92022).

Postscript to Reading No. 81-3:

• 12/16/80: Avaton at CAC writes to Elizabeth Clare Prophet of Summit University, seeking permission to quote excerpts from her book, 'Prophecy for the 1980s', in their upcoming newsletter. Avaton provides specific page numbers and expresses gratitude.
• Jan. 5, 1981: Timothy Connor, Administrative Assistant at Church Universal and Triumphant, replies to Avaton, denying permission to quote from 'Prophecy for the 1980s' and requesting that CAC not contact them again.

Letters From Bill

This section contains correspondence from 'Bill' to Avaton, dated January 13, 1981. Bill shares 'channelings' about 'Wanderers' and Masters, and also about animals and ascension.

Concerning 'Wanderers' and Masters

Bill discusses the concept of Ascension through Grace, which he describes as the Higher Law transcending karma. He differentiates between 'Wanderers' or 'Star Children' who gained ascension primarily by Grace and 'Ascended Masters' who achieved it through great karmic victories. Wanderers, though sometimes appearing eccentric or even atheistic, are described as avatars with a mission directed from the inner plane. Bill emphasizes that these avatars may need multiple embodiments to regain Ascension if they fall into personal karma. He stresses the importance of pure surrender to the 'High Self' or God, which transcends the karmic world and leads to Ascension. He references Lord Krishna and Jesus as examples of those who achieved Ascension through mastery of karma and Grace.

Concerning Animals and Ascension

Bill reveals that some animals have also gained Ascension, particularly those intensely devoted to human Masters. He cites examples from Krishna's cows and horses, and a dog belonging to David. These animals, through devotion, can become virtually aspects of their Masters and, by extension, aspects of God. They can then rise into the Ascended State, identifying with their Masters to the point of becoming 'One with God'. These Ascended Animals are said to 'romp and play' in the 'Elysian Fields' of the cosmos alongside Star Children. The text mentions that some Ascended Animals may take human birth as avatars, citing the example of David's dog returning multiple times to be with his master.

The Cosmic Dream

This section explores the concept of human existence as a 'Cosmic Dream' or 'Great Experiment' initiated by Lucifer, leading to separation from God and the descent into unconsciousness. Each human is described as a Universe, a Cosmic Deity who has fallen into the illusion of an independent selfhood and ego. This descent into 'Unconsciousness' is portrayed as a 'zombie-world' chained by karma. The Luciferian Experiment is seen as a 'dream within the dream'. The text highlights that only perfect obedience to karmic law or perfect mastery of karma can lead to extrication from this experiment and a return to the Godhead. It is stated that very few souls have perfectly obeyed karmic law.

The failure of Luciferianism led to the 'New Covenant' of Grace or Bhakti, allowing souls to return to the Godhead through pure devotion and surrender. This new covenant ends karma and rebirth forever. The message criticizes humanity's continued engagement with the 'ball game' of artificial reality, ignoring the 'coach's' call to return Home. The 'soap opera' of this world is ending, and the illusion of man as a separate ego apart from God is seen as a wash-out.

On Music

Music is described as the language of the Universe and the embodiment of God's language. The text lists various composers and artists whose music can 'thrill a citizen of another star system', including Mozart, Beethoven, Christmas carols, American patriotic songs, The Beatles, Mahalia Jackson, Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash, Psalms of David, Bhajans of India, John Denver, George Beverly Shea, the Mormon Tabernacle choir, and Gregorian chants. It states that good music, when channeled through open chakras, causes constellations to tremble and galaxies to rejoice.

Some Reflections on the 'Passage Perilous'

This section discusses how God works through human vehicles, minds, and senses. When a mind is fully yielded to the 'High Self' or Godhead, it becomes a clear channel. God uses these yielded minds and senses to undo and dismantle the Luciferian world, working on physical and inner planes through 'magic' and the transmutation of ethers. The text emphasizes that God does not intervene in a fundamentalist way but works through those who yield their minds, egos, and hearts to the 'Holy One'. This pure love toward God is seen as the 'Coming of Christ'. The 'clipper ship' of humanity, guided by yielded human minds, is depicted as navigating a narrow passage, symbolizing the transition into a new era of 'peace on earth, good will to men'. The world was saved by these unheralded few, who sought no recognition.

Visions and Apparitions

This section explains that visions of Saints or Ascended Masters can occur when an entity's consciousness is tuned into higher planes, allowing them to 'see into the Hyper-spatial realms'. It describes how one can 'tune in' to the 6th plane, expanding into the '6th sphere of Hyper-space', which is the realm of stars and constellations, thus being in an 'Ascended state' while still in the flesh. It mentions that 'window-openings' can occur into other planes, leading to face-to-face meetings with Masters. The example of Bernadette at Lourdes meeting Mary is given, illustrating how beings from different planes can appear to be in ordinary life-size through 'interdimensional translation'. The text states that the full opening of chakras, tuning into all planes, is man's native state, the state of 'walking with God' in the Garden, and the state to which humanity must return.

Miscellaneous Thoughts

• This brief section offers a few short statements:
• An observation on the incredible Cosmos of unfoldment seen in a lowly leaf.
• A statement about the advent of Higher Consciousness on Earth, marking a 'turning of ages' and the binding of the 'Dark Force'.
• A declaration that 'Every entity is a Christ' and can channel Cosmic Consciousness by loving God above all else and desiring 'not my will but thine be done'.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the exploration of alternative and holistic health practices, particularly for sinusitis, and a deep dive into spiritual concepts of consciousness, karma, ascension, and the nature of God and the universe. The publication, Revelations of Awareness, appears to promote a spiritual perspective that emphasizes personal responsibility, surrender to a higher power, and the interconnectedness of all beings. The editorial stance is one of providing spiritual guidance and insights, often through channeled material, encouraging readers to awaken to a higher consciousness and transcend the limitations of the material world and karmic cycles. There is a clear dichotomy presented between the 'artificial reality' of the material world and the 'true reality' of spiritual consciousness and divine Grace. The publication also engages with and sometimes critiques other spiritual or channeled sources, as seen in the correspondence section.
