Cosmic Awareness - 1981 14 - god karma psychology grace mind avatar ego religion love surrender

Magazine Overview

This issue of 'Letters From Bill..' from Cosmic Awareness Communications, dated April 5, 1981, is a compilation of channelings by Bill Sheppard, who is described as a 'Wanderer' and a channel for Cosmic Awareness. The magazine focuses on spiritual concepts, particularly concerning the 'Awakening of the Avatars', the nature of 'Grace', and the principle of 'Oneness'.

The Awakening of the Avatars (Continued)

Bill Sheppard's letter begins by thanking 'Avaton' for material, specifically mentioning a 'Duck Book'. He expresses ecstasy at seeing 'Lights coming on' in America, interpreting the resurgence of patriotism and fundamentalism as a move back towards the 'positive pole of duality' and a metaphor for the coming of 'Christ Consciousness'. He references Alice Bailey and the 'Coming One', noting that while Bailey's writings express 'Cosmic Duality', the Hierarchy is being preempted by '888', which recognizes no duality. Bill grants permission to use his full name.

The Atlanta Killings

This section interprets the violence and bloodshed in the world as a result of rebellious souls. It states that the 'Great Intercession' vented off planetary karma that would have caused nuclear war. 'Phase 2' of the Intercession is now being energized, causing a 'boiling off of the dross' and a purging of consciousness. This incoming Light will create a 'mini-Armageddon' where polarities sharpen, separating 'goats' from 'sheep'. The Atlanta killings are cited as an example of senseless violence driven by entities rebelling against the Light, described as the 'dying convulsions of the Beast' and the 'birth-throes of the New Era'.

Individual Crimes and Violence

Individual cases of violence are likened to bubbles in a boiling kettle, forming the 'dross' that separates from the 'clear nectar of consciousness'. Entities involved will eventually repent or be 'burned right off this planet' if they do not embrace the Light. Psychics are best equipped to analyze individual cases on the astral and mental planes, while from a 'Grand Overview' (spiritual planes), individual cases are part of a larger pattern. The Avatars and Light Workers are focused on energizing the entire earth with Light from the plane of Spirit, rather than pricking individual bubbles.

Oneness and the Nature of Truth

This section draws from a previous C.A.C. reading ('The Nature of Truth') emphasizing that truth is relative and varies by plane and frame of reference. Entities are encouraged to see truth through the eyes of others, leading to harmony. 'Oneness' means no division, no sense of being 'for' or 'against'. All diversity is seen as forms of the One, like facets of a diamond. An entity in Oneness can understand the viewpoints of communists, capitalists, liberals, conservatives, etc., seeing them as parts of the same body. This is described as the 'Immaculate Concept, the Law of the One'. Even Lucifer is mentioned in this context.

Are These Channelings Too "Way Out"?

This section addresses potential criticism that these concepts are too radical. It argues that unless entities dream of an Ascended world, it cannot be energized. A nucleus of entities whose allegiance is to the 'Law of the One' and the world's Ascension is needed, referred to as 'agents of 888'. The awakening of these agents and Avatars is vital for a planetary Ascension. 'Phase 2' of the Great Intercession involves this full-scale awakening. The author expresses little credence in 'this world's' affairs, calling them a 'farce'.

Paraphrased from the writings of Thomas Merton

This section presents a paraphrase of Thomas Merton's views on withdrawal from the mainstream of humanity. Merton suggests that withdrawal can be a form of love, not a rejection of man, but of the falsehoods he lives by. It is a refusal to accept societal fictions and illusions. Despairing of society's artificiality is not despairing of man, but a sign of love and hope, refusing to tolerate what maims him. Merton distinguishes between overt social functions and a 'mute witness' through solitary prayer for humanity.

HERALDING THE NEW AGE: LEARNING TO WALK WITHOUT THE CRUTCHES

This section discusses 'drastic measures' authorized during the 'Straits of Transition' to prevent humanity's destruction, which preempted normal karmic laws as a 'lesser of two evils'. It acknowledges that the loosening of morals and proliferation of pornography and drugs served a higher purpose by turning the tide and preserving humanity. These were 'stop-gap, emergency measures' to hold the world together until permanent repairs. The call is for a conscious Awakening rooted in the love of God, a leap to Higher Consciousness and Grace under the Law of the One. The 'crucifixion of the ego' is described as painful but necessary for a new Avatar to emerge.

THE KEY TO COSMIC SEX: THE COMPLETING OF THE OCTAVE

This section explains that sex can only be experienced in its fullest potential under 'Grace or Pure Surrender to God', free from karmic world restrictions. The path to the Godhead is through Pure Surrender, which is conditionless. Sex then becomes pure, holy, and cosmic, exemplified by Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and Krishna. When there is Pure Surrender, the Crown Chakra (8th chakra, '8-1' note) can open. The 'higher orgasm' is the cosmic ecstasy in the Crown Chakra. Sex becomes Cosmic and Divine when both the gonadal (1-8 note) and Crown Chakras are opened simultaneously. This is achieved through Pure Surrender to God, which allows the gonadal chakra to be energized with the Crown Chakra, leading to pure liberty and the highest Magic. This is contrasted with the 'false freedom' of worldly liberals. Pure Surrender to God is described as Grace and liberty where 'anything goes' in the realm of sex, leading to physical sex becoming cosmic sex and a worship of God.

ALPHA or the Father' and 'OMEGA or the Goddess'

Diagrams illustrate the '8-1' note (Alpha/Father) and the '1-8' note (Omega/Goddess), with Kundalini rising from the lower chakra and the Father-God descending from the 8th chakra. Their union is described as balanced and whole.

ED's Note

An editor's note clarifies that a 'this dirty picture was drawn by Bill to illustrate this reading' and asks ladies not to write letters about it.

'RELAYING' PRAYERS TO GOD

This section discusses how many prayers offered for the healing of America and Earth lack cosmic contact. It explains that 'we' (presumably the channelers or Cosmic Awareness) can act as a 'relay' to 'punch prayers through' to the Heart of the Universe. This is done by hearing and seeing that which is good and right. The universe responds to the spiritual concept behind the words, not the words themselves. The channel's ecstasy, working through the Crown Chakra, speeds these prayers on to God.

IN CASE ENTITIES ARE OFFENDED

CONCERNING JESUS AND MARY MAGDALENE

This section reiterates that the relationship of Jesus and Mary Magdalene demonstrates the principle of Grace, or Pure Surrender to God. This state is beyond karma and societal laws. The text states that 'anything goes' under Grace. Their relationship was pure and sinless because they were under Grace; otherwise, it would have been adultery. This example is given to set the groundwork for teachings on cosmic sex, which would otherwise conflict with karmic law. Grace is described as True Freedom in God, established by total, conditionless surrender.

CONCERNING THE 'RUSSIAN NOOSE'

This clarifies that the term 'Soviet noose' used in a previous reading referred to the Bolshevik regime, not the Russian people. It states that Russia was once beautiful and free, a 'great light to the world'. The 'Soviet noose' is described as a dictatorship fastened on the jugular vein of both Russian and American people. An editor's note explains that this reference caused backlash but reiterates that from another frame of reference, the U.S. is considered a Russian satellite, and the 'noose' could refer to potential actions like population displacement for agricultural production.

CONCERNING ZIONISM AND THE U.N.

This section addresses the censure of Zionism by some U.N. member nations, stating it was directed at 'visible Israeli Zionists' to increase U.S. support for Israel. It asserts that the U.N. belongs to Rockefeller and Rothschild as their 'enforcement arm of one-worldism' and remains a 'conspirational agency of the power elite'.

GRACE CANNOT BE EARNED

This section contrasts earning freedom from karma with receiving Grace. Earning freedom requires becoming a 'Perfect Master of karma', which is nearly impossible. The Law of Grace or Bhakti was instituted for this reason. Grace is a free gift, unearned, bestowed on the condition of pure surrender. The '51% Law' is mentioned as a recent Hierarchy institution allowing entities with 51% karmic mastery to become Masters, but they still need Grace for Ascension. Wanderers and higher-plane Avatars regain Ascension only by Grace. Karma is described not as the 'law of God' but as the 'law of Lucifer', the law of duality and the separative ego. The karmic system is deemed a failure and is being scrapped. Even great Masters of karma needed Grace for Ascension. The 'Beyond' is accessible to those with no karmic mastery but pure surrender to God. Grace is the 'Better Way' and the only means to the ultimate Reality of God, transcending even the Hierarchy.

KITTIE'S LITTER

This section is an apology from Bill for the use of the term 'coverning up cat shit' in a previous reading, explaining that he did not know it would be published. He defends the use of such language, stating that spirituality does not consist of hollow sanctimoniousness and that Grace can call a spade a spade. He references Jesus calling Pharisees 'snakes' and 'vipers' as biblical examples of direct language.

THE TRANSFIGURATION OF MAN

This section describes the true condition of man as regaining Consciousness, walking with God, and having fully open chakras. In this state, one is awake, not dreaming, and energy from the Universe is sustenance. Dependence on food is likened to 'drug addiction'. With open chakras, one can perceive all planes of the Universe. The Transfiguration of Jesus is cited as an example of such an Awakening, where Moses and Elijah appeared to Jesus. Krishna's life is also mentioned as an example of hyperdimensional encounters. The natural state of man is described as being 'God', with the difference being the unconscious state of those in the flesh. The Luciferian Experiment of the Great Separation is ending, and all entities will be free to walk as 'Luminous Ones', with the earth glowing in the light of the Transfiguration.

THE GOD OF "THIS WORLD" IS A KARMIC ELEMENTAL

This section posits that each society has a 'mass mind' or 'collective consciousness' that records karmic patterns of good and evil, acting as a 'bio computer' and a 'Karmic Elemental' or 'God' of that society. A society survives as long as it adheres to its recorded 'good'. If it follows a path of greed and crime, it is destroyed by its own karma. Different factions use the name 'God' to define their concepts of good, leading to divergent groups like the Skoptsis, Moral Right of America, Zionists, and Catholics, each serving their own Karmic Elemental. Some mass minds, like that of America, are described as benevolent, founded on high ideals, while others, like the Zionist Elementals, seek to rule the world. Jehovah is singled out as an obnoxious Karmic Elemental, perpetuating itself today as Zionism in cahoots with Rothschild. The Karmic Elemental of the Catholics is described as intolerant.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE E.R.A.?

This section argues that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is a campaign of the separative ego seeking to impose its will against the karma of society. It claims the ERA seeks to destroy the concept of womanhood by blurring distinctions between sexes, calling it a perversion against the true Spiritual Androgeny of God. The ERA and 'gay' rights are labeled as tools of the separative ego, or Antichrist. The text asserts that society is set up with clear distinctions between sexes, and that the marriage vow, home sanctity, and family unit are vital for survival. It warns that defying the karma of 'this world' is a force of death and evil, leading to destruction, citing Lemuria, Atlantis, Babylon, Egypt, Greece, and Rome as examples of civilizations destroyed by the exaltation of the ego. The Intercession of the Avatars is described as a last-chance effort to detour returning karma. The ERA, 'gay' rights, drug use, and occultism are denounced as blasphemy and abomination for serving the small ego. Light Workers are advised to keep their relationships discreet and not flaunt their liberty, supporting 'weaker brothers' who are still under karma. Fundamentalists and Conservatives are praised for standing on the 'positive pole of duality'.

HOW TO LOVE GOD.....(A Letter to Bill)

This section contains a letter from Juan Lobaczewski of Argentina asking Bill to explain the love of God and the symbolism of the word 'God', as many ignorant people may not understand it. The letter then provides a list of ways to love God, the 'Great Universal and Total "I AM"', including loving Eternal Life, His Creation, His Will, His Cosmic Harmony, His Cosmic Laws, His Perfect Knowledge, His Intelligence, His Limitless Perfection, His Beauty, and His Revelation.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual evolution, the transition to a 'New Age', and the concept of 'Grace' as the ultimate path to liberation. The magazine strongly advocates for 'Pure Surrender to God' as the means to transcend the 'karmic world' and the 'separative ego'. There is a clear distinction made between the 'world' (defined by karma, duality, and the ego) and the spiritual reality of 'Oneness' and 'Grace'. The editorial stance is critical of liberal philosophies, including the ERA and 'gay' rights, viewing them as expressions of the ego and detrimental to spiritual progress. Conversely, it praises fundamentalism and conservatism for upholding traditional values, albeit within the framework of duality. The concept of 'Karmic Elementals' representing societal mass minds is a unique element, highlighting the collective nature of spiritual and karmic forces. The issue consistently promotes a message of spiritual awakening, transformation, and the ultimate triumph of God's Will through surrender and Grace.

This issue of Revelations of Awareness delves into the spiritual and symbolic interpretations of the Columbia space shuttle, contrasting it with conventional scientific and technological viewpoints. It also touches upon broader themes of consciousness, spiritual awakening, and recent global events seen as indicators of a significant shift.

The Columbia Space Shuttle: Two Perspectives

The magazine presents two distinct viewpoints on the Columbia space shuttle program. The first perspective, attributed to unnamed "entities," views the program as a "tremendous financial boondoggle" and a sign of Earth's primitive scientific development. This view contrasts the shuttle's technology, powered by "brute force" chemical fuels and basic computers, with the advanced "inter-dimensional beamships and gravitic-levitation vehicles" of other cosmic races. Earth's science is described as being in the "hollow-log stage of development."

The second perspective, articulated by Bill Sheppard and elaborated upon in an "ED's Note," interprets the Columbia mission not in material terms, but as a "spiritual symbol, an allegory" and a "Living Scripture" of Risen Consciousness. This viewpoint suggests that the shuttle's flight represented a "rising of the True America into the High Country of space," akin to historical voyages of discovery. The "Immaculate Concept" is invoked, emphasizing the spiritual reality behind the physical symbol. The ED's Note further suggests that the mission might have a hidden purpose related to countering a "Bolshevik scheme" and a "planned nuclear war against Russia," by transforming Columbia into a positive symbol.

The 'Dark Night of the Soul' and Spiritual Awakening

An article titled "CURING THE 'DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL'" addresses the condition of "Avatars" who experience limiting consciousness focused on personal concerns. It describes the "dark night of the soul" as a state of being "stifled by the headaches, nervous fits, despair, and sufferings." The article posits that this suffering served to "vent off" planetary pressure and prevent Armageddon. The path to overcoming this is through expanding consciousness to encompass the world and all of humanity, thereby finding "native freedom and serenity." This expansion allows individuals to let go of "Maya and illusion" and "actually heal the world," leading to personal peace and purpose. These individuals are referred to as the "called-out ones."

Signs of the Coming of Light

The issue highlights recent global events as evidence of distinct "boosts and accelerations" in the Earth's lifewave, signaling the "Coming of Light and the crumbling of the Kingdom of Darkness." These events include:

• A worldwide moment of silence held in tribute to John Lennon.
• The release of hostages on the 444th day since their capture.
• The thwarting of an assassination attempt on President Reagan, followed by his "brilliant rally."
• The successful flight of the Columbia space shuttle, launched on the 20th anniversary of the first Soviet-manned space flight.

Editorial Stance and Recurring Themes

Revelations of Awareness consistently promotes a New Age perspective, emphasizing spiritual consciousness, personal transformation, and the interconnectedness of all things. The magazine interprets events through a spiritual lens, often contrasting material or conventional explanations with deeper, symbolic meanings. There is a recurring theme of humanity's spiritual evolution and the dawning of a new era characterized by "True Science and True Religion."

The publication features "Letters from Bill" as a regular segment, indicating a focus on channeled or spiritual insights. The overall tone is one of guidance and encouragement towards higher consciousness and spiritual understanding, framing earthly events within a cosmic context. The magazine appears to be a non-profit organization dedicated to disseminating these spiritual messages.
