Cosmic Awareness Communications and the New Age

The newsletter introduces Cosmic Awareness as a force that has expressed itself through various spiritual figures and speaks again in the New Age. It emphasizes that the information is received from super-conscious trance levels and interpreted by Paul Shockley. Readers are encouraged not to blindly believe but to question, explore, and discover truth for themselves. Cosmic Awareness Communications (C.A.C.) and the interpreter are not responsible for the statements made, nor do they necessarily agree with them.

The Nature of Karma and Grace

This section addresses the concept of karma, defined as cause and effect, and how entities can become involved in actions that lead to negative consequences. It explores the idea of 'taking on karma for others,' suggesting that when one entity prevents a negative outcome for ten others by taking responsibility, they have essentially taken on the karma of those ten. This is presented not as a punishment, but as a natural law of balance.

'Grace' is described as an action that transcends karma, occurring when an enlightened entity realizes the error of their actions and shifts towards healing or more positive endeavors. This can result in overcoming adverse karma. The concept is further explained through the analogy of levers in a machine, where interference can alter the outcome.

Taking on World Karma by Light Workers

This part of the newsletter discusses the role of 'Light Workers' in assisting those who are suffering due to karma. It clarifies that expending energy to alleviate suffering is a form of taking on karma. However, it also frames this assistance as a positive karmic action for the suffering entity, providing an opportunity for help. The concept of karma is likened to cause and effect, and interference with this process can alter karmic outcomes.

John Lennon: The Sacrificial Lamb

A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to John Lennon, framed as a symbol. A question is posed regarding whether his violent death was part of his spiritual purpose and if he took on the karma of New York City. Cosmic Awareness suggests that Lennon's death was an action orchestrated by higher energies and the Inner Plane to create a 'flashpoint in consciousness' that would promote peace globally. He is described as a 'sacrificial lamb' used to energize this concept, though physical forces may have also contributed to his death.

The text then expands on the idea of symbols in consciousness, citing figures like Marilyn Monroe, John F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King. These individuals, through their lives and deaths, served as symbols that influenced the mass-mind, raising consciousness and inspiring followers to emulate their qualities. The issue highlights that even when these symbols are removed, their impact remains, and people continue to adopt their characteristics.

It is noted that many people emulate these symbols, including musicians and public figures. The Awareness suggests that when an original symbol is gone, entities realize the loss of certain qualities and begin to imitate them to carry them forward. The issue also acknowledges that many public figures, including Lennon, have faced criticism for their personal behavior, but emphasizes the need to look at their lives from a broader perspective, considering their greater significance and impact on human consciousness.

Frank Sinatra is also discussed as a symbol, representing love, compassion, and charitable works, despite facing criticism for his actions. The newsletter posits that entities often focus on flaws rather than contributions, and that accepting oneself with errors is key to accepting others.

A 'Simple Test for Those Who Criticize' is offered, encouraging readers to evaluate public figures and their own family members by asking if they like and accept them despite flaws, or if flaws overshadow the good they offer.

Yoko Ono's Meditation for John Lennon

Following Lennon's death, Yoko Ono requested a worldwide meditation of Peace, Love, and Light. Cosmic Awareness affirms that this meditation had a significant impact, touching millions and lifting hearts towards more peaceful inclinations.

Merging the Rational Mind with God

This section discusses the role of the rational mind in observing the world and its polarities (good/bad, right/wrong). It suggests that the rational mind evolves by discerning which polarities to emphasize and by dropping unnecessary judgments. When the rational mind can accept all polarities and merge them into a single Oneness, it evolves into wisdom and becomes One with the Father, transmuting into Light.

Serving Animal Flesh to Customers: Does This Create Bad Karma?

This question addresses the karmic implications of running a barbecue restaurant that serves meat. Cosmic Awareness suggests that gradual changes in awareness can lead to gradual changes in occupation. It advises against developing guilt feelings and instead encourages a focus on finding a more satisfying occupation. Regarding the animals themselves, the Awareness indicates they possess a high level of intelligence and an intuitive understanding of their purpose, not fearing death as an end but as a change.

However, it cautions that continuous and excessive consumption of beef can have harmful effects on human health. The newsletter suggests adding more wholesome options to menus, such as whole-grain breads, salads, fruit dishes, and herbal teas, to assist customers in gradually changing their dietary habits. The emphasis is placed on love, awareness, and response to the needs of others, rather than solely on diet, as measures of soul development.

Karmic Implications in a Case Like This

This section revisits the question of individuals aware of potential harm in their business practices but continuing due to financial need. Cosmic Awareness explains that there is a time-lapse between conscious realization and subconscious acceptance of change. It suggests that entities can sell the business, make alterations to serve less objectionable foods, or eventually move towards a diet of sprouts, grains, and fruits, or even become breathairians. The key is not to feel guilty but to be aware of one's progress and goals. The Awareness stresses that soul development is measured by love and awareness, not diet.

Canada's Trudeau: What Gives With His "New Constitution"?

A question is raised about the implications of Canada's proposed new Constitution, with concerns about Prime Minister Trudeau's motives and connections to groups like the Trilateral Commission and the 'Black Illuminati'. Cosmic Awareness validates these insights, stating that the new Constitution could lead to greater controls and openings for oppression. It advises entities to study the Constitution for alterations from the older version that could allow for misuse of power and suggests comparing it with a constitution prepared by an institute in Santa Barbara, which was created for 'Rockefeller powers' and aimed to turn the United States into a United Socialist Republic.

Do Executioners, Wardens, Etc. Create Bad Karma in Their Work?

This question explores whether individuals in roles within the state imprisonment system, such as executioners, prison guards, and wardens, create negative karma. Cosmic Awareness indicates that while these actions carry karmic repercussions, the motive is a modifying factor. It suggests that executioners may rationalize their actions as necessary or even courageous, but the karma is spread among the courts, legislature, and the public who approved capital punishment. Therefore, the executioner is not solely responsible, and the karma is less heavy upon them compared to an individual who commits murder.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the interconnectedness of actions, consequences (karma), and spiritual evolution (grace). The publication consistently emphasizes self-inquiry, questioning, and personal discovery over blind acceptance. There is a strong focus on the symbolic nature of individuals and events, and how they influence collective consciousness. The editorial stance appears to be one of encouraging spiritual growth, awareness, and a compassionate understanding of oneself and others, while also critically examining societal structures and power dynamics.

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" is a bi-weekly cosmic newsletter published by Cosmic Awareness Communications. It delves into various topics, including personal well-being, environmental concerns, and political commentary, all filtered through the lens of 'Cosmic Awareness'.

What to Do About the Problem of "Horniness"

Under the heading "WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF 'HORNINESS' (Some alternatives to the cold shower)", a question is posed by G.K. of Portland, Oregon, regarding how to deal with sexual frustration. The response from "Cosmic Awareness" suggests that sexual energies are natural and should not be made into a significant problem. It advises against forcing or inhibiting these energies. Instead, it recommends becoming more physically active, engaging in sports or physical labor, which can channel these energies into other levels and bring rewards such as a stronger body, greater health, and increased interest in other activities. The response posits that a lack of physical exercise can cause energies to center in the sexual area, leading to emotional frustration due to a lack of release.

An "ED's Note" directs readers to "Revelations of Awareness", No. 77-1 (Female Masturbation and the Hite Report) for more information on masturbation.

Radioactive Rats on Three-Mile Island?

A question is raised concerning radioactive rodent droppings found around the Three-Mile Island nuclear power plant. A.M. sent in a clipping reporting this discovery, along with official information stating there is no or very low possibility of radiation exposure from rodent bites. The "Cosmic Awareness" response confirms the affirmative regarding the issue. It states that shortly after the Three-Mile Island accident, there was a significant increase in the number of animals born mutated or deformed. This information, it claims, was made available through local veterinarians but largely withheld from the public by the controlled press. The response further indicates that many entities in the area suffered strange and unusual illnesses after the accident, including hair loss, high fevers, and problems with kidneys and other organs, leading to pain in the joints and muscles.

The newsletter also references the incident of Kimberly Thompson, who was treated for radiation contamination at a hospital in York, Pennsylvania, and recovered, while others treated for different illnesses in the same hospital did not. Alexander Thompson is identified as a source for further information on this matter.

An "ED's Note" refers readers to "Revelations of Awareness No. 79-26 (Nuclear Power Plants-The Mushrooming Beast and How to Close them Down)" for more on the Three-Mile Island cover-up and to Peace College readings for information on Alexander Thompson.

Reagan's Daughter Calls N-power 'Frightening'

This section reports on Patti Davis, daughter of President Reagan, publicly opposing nuclear energy. She stated that nuclear energy is "something I think is frightening," even though her father is "not happy" about her stance. Davis, an actress and singer, agreed to address an anti-nuclear program. She mentioned that she and her father respect each other's opinions and agreed to disagree on the issue. She also noted that past administrations shared Reagan's enthusiasm for nuclear power and lacked support for renewable energy sources, advocating for solar energy and conservation as workable alternatives.

A related report details Patti Davis and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. being featured at the fourth annual Survival Sunday, an anti-nuclear protest at the Hollywood Bowl. Approximately 18,000 people attended the event. Davis delivered a one-minute speech criticizing nuclear power, stating, "We don't need it." The event also featured entertainers such as Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Graham Nash, and Bonnie Raitt.

The issue also includes a small graphic identifying the "INVENTOR OF THE NEUTRON BOMB."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the nature of sexual energy and its management, the potential dangers and cover-ups associated with nuclear power and radiation, and the influence of public figures on these issues. The editorial stance, as expressed through "Cosmic Awareness," appears to be one of questioning official narratives, advocating for alternative perspectives, and emphasizing natural energies and physical well-being. There is a consistent thread of skepticism towards government and corporate information, particularly concerning sensitive topics like nuclear incidents and their consequences.
