Magazine Overview

Title: Revelations of Awareness
Issue: 81-25
Date: Copyright 1981
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Description: This issue of the New-Age Cosmic Newsletter focuses on the 'unspeakable crime' of incest, exploring its psychological, karmic, and societal dimensions from the perspective of Cosmic Awareness, channeled through Paul Shockley.

"Unspeakable" Crime: Incest...

This section is the central theme of the newsletter, addressing the profound and often taboo subject of incest. It includes articles on how to remove emotional scars, release karmic binds, and deal with guilty feelings, presented as a special C.A.C. in-depth report.

Reader's Question and Cosmic Awareness Response

The issue begins with a question from a female member in the Midwest who experienced molestation by her father from ages 6 to 12. She describes the psychological impact, including feelings of guilt, a need to compensate with a pleasing exterior, and a terrible self-image, despite achieving academic success. She also mentions her father's alcoholism and emotional immaturity.

Cosmic Awareness responds by framing this experience within the 'Saturn return cycle,' a time of karmic evaluation. It suggests that while the overcompensation through studies might be seen as a 'plus,' the guilt is a learning situation. The experience leaves scars on both the father and daughter's self-images, which may not be easily removed. The Awareness indicates that incest is not a sin against God but against each other, referencing the biblical story of Lot and his daughters. It notes that historically, incestuous relationships were more accepted in certain cultures, like royalty and even Scotland, where it was estimated that approximately 50% of the population were born of incestuous relationships. The shift in morality is attributed to the weakening of family bloodlines and increased susceptibility to genetic defects.

Psychological and Sociological Effects

Cosmic Awareness highlights that the problem of incest is greater than believed, particularly in lower-class levels and situations involving step-fathers or parental figures without legal ties. It states that child molestation or the threat of it is a major cause of homosexuality, especially among women, often linked to a mother's attitude towards her son and the son's guilt over sexual attraction.

Releasing Psychological Scars: A Psychic Confrontation

A technique called 'Doing an Awareness' is presented for releasing psychological scars. This involves a psychic confrontation where one visualizes their father (or mother) in a chair and speaks to them about the incident, expressing hostility and feelings. Then, one switches chairs to embody the father/mother and responds. This process aims to tune into the other's consciousness, resolve karma, and release anxieties. The technique can be extended to include the mother and even play out the roles of both parents communicating with each other. It is suggested that this process can release energies felt by the actual individuals, even without direct confrontation.

Confused Values Cause Much Child Abuse

This section links child abuse to deteriorating general morality and confusion about values. It contrasts the goal-oriented generation of the 1940s-50s with the 'eat, drink, and be merry' syndrome that emerged in the 1960s and 70s, driven by threats of nuclear war and societal changes. This shift led to a focus on pleasure and senses over traditional values.

Cosmic Perspective on Guilt and Failure

Cosmic Awareness suggests that significant events, like incestuous relationships, can be viewed from a cosmic perspective as a 'cosmic sneeze' or a minor event in the grand scheme of the universe. It emphasizes that guilt is a choice and can be renounced. The key to spiritual pursuit is to recall events, gain higher perspectives, and learn from mistakes. Failure is seen as a natural part of life, and the ability to overcome it is a mark of an entity destined to succeed.

Guilt-Causing Incidents as a "Cosmic Sneeze"

For many, experiences like incest become major blocks to soul growth. However, Cosmic Awareness suggests that the degree of significance and wallowing in guilt is a choice. By looking at negative experiences from a broader, cosmic viewpoint, guilt can be defused. Similarly, successes should be viewed from a distance to keep the ego in perspective.

Karmic Families and the Longing for Incest

This section explores the idea that entities in 'karmic families' may have strong feelings or memories from past lives that contribute to incestuous attractions. It suggests that societal morality and individual discernment are crucial to navigate these strong forces and avoid yielding to inappropriate desires. The Awareness also proposes that exploring fantasies to their extreme consequences can help defuse them.

Motivation for Incest (Father's Perspective)

Cosmic Awareness discusses the father's perspective on incest. Motivations can include a sense of entitlement, believing the daughter owes repayment for protection, or simply lust and a desire for control. In some cases, it's described as an 'irresponsible innocence' where the father loves the daughter too much, leading to an inappropriate closeness without proper discernment. The damage caused depends on the significance placed on the action, and ramifications can include alienation and emotional problems.

Sexual Activities in Room with Baby

This question explores whether children witnessing parental sexual activity can create incestuous desires later in life. Cosmic Awareness indicates this can be true in some instances, potentially causing confusion, hostility, or a sense of perversion. It suggests that children should have separate sleeping quarters and that parents should maintain privacy.

"Tell Mommy" and She Rejects It

This section addresses situations where a daughter tells her mother about incestuous abuse, and the mother rejects the claim. Cosmic Awareness states this breaks trust and creates greater confusion for the child, adding to the violation. It suggests the mother's fear and denial can exacerbate the situation.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are incest, child abuse, guilt, and the spiritual or cosmic perspective on these issues. Cosmic Awareness Communications, through its channeled messages, promotes a non-judgmental, expansive view, emphasizing self-awareness, karmic evaluation, and spiritual growth. The editorial stance is one of providing guidance and techniques for healing and understanding complex human experiences from a higher, universal viewpoint, encouraging individuals to take responsibility for their perceptions and reactions.

This issue of REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS, dated September 7, 1981, delves into a range of controversial and esoteric topics, primarily through the 'Cosmic Awareness' entity's channeled responses. The publication addresses sensitive subjects such as childhood sexuality, the practice of Tantric Yoga, and the psychological implications of confessing past transgressions within relationships.

Nannies and Childhood Sexuality

The cover story, 'WHAT ABOUT NANNIES IN ENGLAND WHO MASTURBATE THE CHILDREN ?', explores the notion that in England, parents and nannies have traditionally masturbated children at bedtime to aid sleep. 'Cosmic Awareness' suggests that this practice, while potentially creating a sense of sexual security and self-acceptance, can also encourage earlier sexual development and thus shorten an individual's lifespan. The entity posits that a longer period before sexual maturity leads to a longer life. The article also touches upon the controversial views of some sexologists and researchers who argue that adult-child sex is not inherently harmful, provided it occurs within a caring relationship. This perspective is contrasted with the views of child psychiatrists who warn of the psychological damage premature sexual behavior can inflict on children.

Male Vitality and Orgasm

Another significant section, 'OVER 40 MALES SHOULD WITHHOLD ORGASM FREQUENTLY', discusses the impact of orgasm on male vitality. 'Cosmic Awareness' advises that for men aged 40-50, pursuing orgasm in every sexual encounter is not in their best interest. Instead, it suggests that experiencing orgasm infrequently (perhaps once in three encounters, or even less) allows the body to build and retain vital energies. The arousal itself is seen as vitalizing, while the orgasm depletes these energies, including those from the brain and spinal column. The advice is not to become fearful of losing sexual energy but to de-emphasize the over-significance of the orgasm as a goal. The article also briefly touches on the question of whether prostate problems occur when orgasm is restrained, with 'Cosmic Awareness' indicating that if energies are built up close to orgasm and then restrained, it can be appropriate to continue to avoid potential damage to the kidneys, prostate, or bladder. However, semi-sexual energy, not brought to the point of orgasm, can be beneficial for recharging vitality.

The Exchange of Male-Female Energies

Following the discussion on male vitality, the issue addresses 'THE EXCHANGE OF MALE-FEMALE ENERGIES DURING INTERCOURSE'. It questions whether males pick up energies from females during sexual union to compensate for lost energies. 'Cosmic Awareness' explains this as a reconciliation between Yin (female) and Yang (male) energies. The male gives Yang energies and absorbs Yin, while the female receives Yang and gives Yin. For males reaching maturity where Yang energy declines, retaining it through the methods previously discussed is suggested. For entities heavily into Yang energies needing pacification, the passive female energies can be absorbed through complete orgasm.

Tantric Yoga

The section 'CONCERNING TANTRIC YOGA' addresses inquiries about this practice. 'Cosmic Awareness' defines Tantric Yoga as the arousal of sexual energies without allowing orgasm to occur, thereby creating intense energy that can be beneficial if used properly. It is essentially described as prolonging sexual play and avoiding orgasm. The benefits are seen in the heightened awareness and sensitivity achieved through prolonged physical and emotional connection, fostering a deeper connection with a partner. A subsequent question, 'IS IT POSSIBLE TO ELECTROCUTE ONESELF DURING TANTRIC YOGA?', is answered with a 'no' under normal circumstances. However, 'Cosmic Awareness' suggests that if entities pursue Tantric Yoga with motives of power or for intense energy recharging, rather than for love and intimacy, it could lead to difficulties. The entity emphasizes that love and sex are distinct but can be complementary, with sex being appropriate for intensifying love.

Confessing Past 'Sins'

The final major question, 'SHOULD PAST "SINS" OR PECCADILLOS BE CONFESSED TO ONE'S MATE?', explores the complex issue of guilt and confession. 'Cosmic Awareness' advises that confrontation and discussion are appropriate if the relationship is stable and the individuals can handle the emotional charge. However, if an entity is unstable, professional counseling is recommended to avoid pushing them over the brink. The entity cautions against confessing private affairs simply to relieve one's own guilt, especially if the mate is not capable of understanding or handling such information, as it could devastate them. The advice is to consider the mate's capacity to accept such confessions and to seek other counseling if the primary motive is self-relief. The message suggests that sometimes, recognizing an error and moving on is sufficient without needing external absolution. In instances of overwhelming guilt, confessing to someone capable of receiving it and offering forgiveness, such as a priest, psychiatrist, or a sympathetic friend or family member, is deemed appropriate.

The issue concludes with a 'Closing Message' that references Greek mythology, specifically the stories of Oedipus, Electra, and Narcissus, as beneficial for understanding incestuous relationships, family dynamics, and self-love. It also notes that REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS is a cosmic newsletter published bi-weekly by Cosmic Awareness Communications.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around sexuality, energy dynamics, and personal consciousness, viewed through a spiritual or metaphysical lens. The 'Cosmic Awareness' entity consistently emphasizes the importance of understanding and managing energies, particularly sexual energies, for personal growth, vitality, and longevity. There is a strong undercurrent of caution regarding the potential negative consequences of certain sexual practices or attitudes, especially concerning children. The editorial stance, as channeled through 'Cosmic Awareness', promotes a holistic approach to sexuality, advocating for love, understanding, and self-awareness over purely physical gratification or the pursuit of power. The publication appears to encourage introspection and a deeper understanding of oneself and one's relationships, often referencing esoteric concepts and mythological archetypes.
