Revelations of Awareness

Magazine Overview

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" (Vol. 82, Issue 19, dated 1982) is a New-Age Cosmic Newsletter published by Cosmic Awareness Communications. It is priced at $3.00 and focuses on the themes of "Religion" and "Mind Control," with a subtitle indicating a progression "FROM DARKNESS TOWARD LIGHT (Part 1)." The cover features an illustration and highlights the interpreter, Paul Shockley.

Cosmic Awareness and the Interpreter

The publication introduces "Cosmic Awareness" as a Force that has communicated through various avatars like Jesus, the Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed, and Edgar Cayce. It states that this information is received through trained channels from deep super-conscious trance levels and is interpreted by an entity affiliated with Cosmic Awareness Communications (C.A.C.). The interpreter, Paul Shockley, is presented as a conduit for this information, with C.A.C. and the Aquarian Church of Universal Service clarifying that they do not necessarily endorse or agree with the statements made by Cosmic Awareness.

The Forces of Darkness and Channel Disruption

A significant portion of the issue details an incident where the interpreter, Paul Shockley, experienced a violent thrashing while in trance, attributed to "energy fields" and a "disturbance to this channel." Cosmic Awareness explains this as an attack by "Dark Forces" that has been ongoing for approximately three years, coinciding with a lawsuit and accusations against the church and the interpreter. This period is described as a "gathering storm" and a "tedious event" likened to witch-hunts, where the interpreter felt like a warrior fighting these energies. The text suggests that while these forces aimed to limit the channel, they inadvertently created a diversion, allowing for the exploration and development of other consciousness-related activities.

How the Forces of Darkness Operate: The 'Official' Jesus

Cosmic Awareness elaborates on the methods of the "Dark Forces," using the example of how the entity known as Jesus was transformed into the "official" Jesus of the Roman Empire. This process involved elevating Jesus to a figurehead, merging other religious sects under his name, and then using his image and reputation for political control. The spiritual message of love and personal sacrifice was allegedly downplayed in favor of dogma, rules, and structures, which served to manage the masses and keep them in their place.

The Creation of Guilt and Mind Control Systems

The issue explains how a "guilt trip" was created through spiritual concepts designed to make entities feel guilty for being born. This presumption of guilt, coupled with the idea of being born in sin, led to a need for redemption through prescribed methods, whether Catholic or Protestant. This system, according to Cosmic Awareness, fostered a sense of inferiority, ignorance, and reliance on priests and authorities for absolution. This process is likened to hypnotism, leading to passive submission and a reliance on external guidance for thinking and decision-making.

The Five Levels of Separateness

Cosmic Awareness outlines five levels that contribute to separateness: guilt, ignorance, fear, self-righteousness, and judgment. These levels are reinforced by vivid descriptions of hell and heaven, creating fear and desire as motivators. The text explains how entities, once programmed with guilt and ignorance, seek redemption and then may develop self-righteousness or a sense of failure. The issue emphasizes that the "game of life" is not mandatory and that entities can choose to "be" rather than play the game, recognizing their divinity and inherent happiness.

The Divine Right of Entities and Mental Illness

The publication asserts the "Divine Right of Entities" to be happy, free, and to pursue knowledge and experience without harming others. It states that 85% of mental illness is attributed to direct or indirect involvement in these games of guilt, ignorance, reliance on authority, self-righteousness, failure, and vanity, with the remaining 15% due to chemical or biological problems.

Freedom of Thought and Action

Freedom of thought is highlighted as the most important freedom, which has often been suppressed by past experiences, teachings, and programming. Freedom of action is considered less significant, though errors in action carry greater consequences. The issue warns against controlling thoughts out of fear of the devil, suggesting that focusing on negative thoughts can lead to obsession and a sense of "possession."

Possession by the 'Devil' and Confession

Cosmic Awareness defines "possession" as a state where entities become obsessed with negative thoughts, which then become significant and horrible, leading to a justification of the devil's existence. Confession is presented as an alternative to being subdued by this "devil," but it is cautioned that the benefit of confession depends on the listener being sympathetic and forgiving.

Judgment vs. Discernment

The issue distinguishes between "judgment" and "discernment." Judgment is described as an action with an implied purpose of determining destiny, acceptance, or rejection, while discernment is simply seeing what "is." Cosmic Awareness encourages entities to practice discernment and avoid judgment, as judgment creates separateness.

The Structure of Separateness

This section revisits the concept of structure, whether in the mind, society, or universe, recognizing it as mammon, materialism, or Lucifer, but not spirit itself. Spirit is seen as residing between structures, and when structures become too confining, spirit breaks them. The Catholic Church is cited as an example of creating structures to hold consciousness, particularly for those not yet ready to exist without them. The issue notes that this structure, while potentially limiting, also served to prepare consciousness for present-day scientific and technological developments.

The Cosmic Fall of the Angels and Religious Control

Cosmic Awareness links the "Cosmic Fall of the Angels" to the microcosmic action within an individual who loses balance and falls into rational judgment. This is paralleled with the historical use of religious dogma and systems to create separateness and control. The text suggests that the origins of this system of religious mind control predate Jesus and have been used in various cultures and religious texts, including the Old Testament.

The Future of Religion

The issue explores the future of religion, suggesting that as entities gain freedom of communication and thought, the current mind control systems will break down. This will lead to a gradual evolution where entities free themselves from restrictions. The rise of new spiritual groups and cults is seen as assisting in this breakdown, even if they initially mimic old control systems. The article predicts a future where science and religion merge into a unified understanding of universal forces.

The Inquisition of Paul Shockley

A question is posed regarding the lawyer persecuting Paul Shockley, suggesting a past-life connection where the lawyer was a witch-hunter who persecuted Shockley in a previous lifetime. Cosmic Awareness confirms this, stating the entity pursued Shockley for revenge and to shut down his channel due to the nature of his work. The issue references the movie "The Devils" as a depiction of the energies prevalent during the Inquisition and the efforts to control those deemed heretics.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the pervasive influence of mind control, particularly through religious structures, and the historical and ongoing efforts of "Dark Forces" to manipulate human consciousness. The publication advocates for individual freedom of thought, discernment over judgment, and the recognition of one's inherent divinity. The editorial stance, as conveyed through Cosmic Awareness, is one of revealing these hidden influences and encouraging entities to awaken to their true nature and potential, moving from darkness toward light.

Title: REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS
Issue: No. 14
Date: August 25, 1982
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications

This issue of Revelations of Awareness focuses on impending major transitions, primarily driven by astrological events, particularly the 'Jupiter Effect'. It also delves into economic forecasts, a significant legal battle, and historical and contemporary news items.

The Jupiter Effect: Great Transitions Ahead

The lead article, "THE JUPITER EFFECT BEGINS: GREAT TRANSITIONS JUST AHEAD," discusses astrological energies experienced in August 1982. This period is marked by a close planetary conjunction involving Pluto, Saturn (in Libra), Jupiter, Mars (in Scorpio), and Uranus (in Sagittarius). The Awareness indicates that these energies will significantly alter patterns, leading to the 'Jupiter Effect' in November and December of 1982. This time is described as a period of great transition, where old values may fall away and new beginnings emerge, potentially impacting social trends, individual experiences, and global economies. The conjunction of Saturn and Pluto is identified as a particular point of concern, potentially affecting hidden activities, nuclear energy, and leading to either crisis or repression. The Awareness suggests that while there may be conservative elements preventing complete unleashing of these energies, the period between November and early December is critical. The issue notes that while the US may experience conflict, repression is also indicated. The overall message is one of significant change, impacting not only physical values like oil and currency but also abstract concepts of morality and philosophy.

Legal Battles and Karmic Carryovers

An article details a lawsuit involving Paul Shockley, referred to as the 'Interpreter', and the Aquarian church. The 'inquisitor' from a previous lifetime, now a lawyer named Ahoe, is described as having a personal vendetta against Shockley. The lawsuit concerned the sanity of an old man who had donated land to the church, with the judge ultimately ruling against Shockley, forcing him and his family to vacate the property. The Awareness suggests that Ahoe's actions, attempting to defame and discredit Shockley, are a karmic carryover from a past life where the inquisitor failed to annihilate the Interpreter's reputation. The Awareness indicates that this energy is being defused by the present experience, and it does not appear likely that the inquisitor will pursue such a vendetta in future lifetimes.

Another section addresses the question of whether the inquisitor could pursue the Interpreter into other lifetimes. The Awareness suggests this is unlikely, as the entity is experiencing regret and the energies are being defused. The original contract for this vendetta was made with entities referred to as 'Kolocks', subcontractors to the 'Zyloids', described as agents of 'Alien Force' working to prevent enlightenment.

An editorial note reveals that Paul Shockley lost his appeal in court on August 24th, 1982, and plans to take the case to the Oregon State Supreme Court.

Economic Outlook: December Holds Key Options

The section "THE ECONOMY---WHAT'S AHEAD NOW?" discusses the Federal Reserve's actions to lower interest rates and the subsequent surge in the stock market. The Awareness indicates this is partly to assist the current administration and reinforce it during the election period. However, long-range plans are presented as being in a state of option, dependent on international intrigue and potential conflict. Two primary paths are outlined: one leading to great prosperity and economic growth, and another resulting in extreme conservatism, austerity, and a depressive atmosphere. The Awareness suggests that the path of shared control and free enterprise is preferable. The critical decision point for these options is indicated to be in December, coinciding with the Jupiter Effect, where humanity's future direction will be discerned. The Awareness likens this period to a 'Passage Perilous', where integrity is tested, and only those who maintain higher principles of love and unity will emerge victorious.
