Magazine Overview
Title: Revelations of Awareness
Issue: 83-5
Date: Copyright 1983
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Type: The New-Age Cosmic Newsletter
This issue of Revelations of Awareness, dated 1983, presents a deep dive into the concept of forgiveness, questioning its traditional interpretation and exploring its more self-serving aspects. The newsletter also touches upon various health and spiritual topics, offering guidance from 'Cosmic Awareness' through its interpreter, Paul Shockley.
Forgiveness: Not So High and Noble
The central theme of this issue is a re-evaluation of forgiveness. Cosmic Awareness suggests that the act of forgiving is primarily a selfish one, serving to make the forgiver feel good about themselves by releasing their own judgments and hostilities. It posits that when an entity asks for forgiveness, they are seeking a clearing of the slate and a rescinding of judgment. The text distinguishes between social grace and spiritual action, noting that while forgiveness may be socially valued, it's not necessarily a high spiritual act. It advises that if one is hurt, rather than holding grudges, one should recognize this as part of life's experiences. The concept of 'turning the other cheek' is discussed in the context of Gandhi's pacifist approach, but it's cautioned that this is not always appropriate, especially in situations of extreme violence or when dealing with uncivilized individuals.
Unilateral Forgiveness in Violations
The issue specifically addresses situations like rapes, muggings, and other severe violations where the perpetrator may not care about forgiveness. In these cases, unilateral forgiveness is deemed less important for the victim and more for the forgiver's own well-being. The text highlights the damaging effects of unreleased anger and hostility on physical health, including organs, the bloodstream, and the immune system, potentially leading to various diseases.
The Purpose of Anger and Releasing Energy
Anger is presented as a survival mechanism, releasing adrenaline for 'fight or flight.' In a civilized world where these actions are often suppressed, the built-up energy can become detrimental. The newsletter suggests that releasing this energy through physical activity, crying, or even expressing anger in a safe manner is crucial for health. It notes that women may have more efficient ways of releasing this energy through activities like crying or dancing.
Health and Well-being
Chinese Tongue Scraper
A question is posed about the efficacy of a Chinese tongue scraper. Cosmic Awareness indicates that it is beneficial to some degree, assisting in stimulating taste buds and cleansing the tongue of mucus and germs, particularly those that have collected overnight. It suggests that drinking hot water in the morning can further aid in washing away poisons from the digestive tract.
Preventing Hot Flashes and Menstrual Cramps
Information is provided on preventing 'hot flashes,' with Don Quai suggested as a beneficial oriental herb. For menstrual cramps, the newsletter affirms that Don Quai is helpful, and also emphasizes the importance of calcium, magnesium, and Vitamin D, which are often available together in health food stores.
Food Allergies and Diet
This section addresses a question about avoiding starches and cereals. Cosmic Awareness explains that while starches provide sustained energy, a cleansing diet prefers fresh fruits and vegetables. It suggests that allergies can sometimes be linked to psychological traumas, and reconciling these past events might help resolve the allergy. The editor's note shares a personal experience with severe food allergies, linking them to a traumatic childhood event.
Wanderers and Relationships
Relationships with Non-Wanderers
The issue explores the challenges 'Wanderers' face in forming relationships with non-Wanderers. It suggests that Wanderers often feel out of place and may function better alone or with other Wanderers who share similar interests. However, it also notes that some Wanderers need relationships to achieve balance and fulfillment, which then allows them to focus on their work.
Media and Spirituality
Sylvester Stallone and 'Rocky'
Cosmic Awareness comments on Sylvester Stallone's assertion that divine guidance inspired his 'Rocky' movies. The newsletter indicates that Stallone has tapped into a higher source and that creativity, especially when combined with rational and intuitive aspects, can lead to the creation of art that resonates with human instincts and provides inspiration and courage.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
Throughout the issue, the recurring theme is the reinterpretation of spiritual and social concepts from a New Age perspective, emphasizing self-awareness, personal responsibility, and a holistic approach to health and well-being. The editorial stance, as conveyed by Cosmic Awareness, encourages questioning, personal discovery, and a practical understanding of spiritual principles, often challenging conventional notions of morality and spirituality. The newsletter advocates for a balanced approach to life, acknowledging both the spiritual and the practical aspects of human experience.
Title: REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS
Issue: 82-16 (Closing Message)
Date: December 3, 1982
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Country: USA
Language: English
This issue of Revelations of Awareness delves into the nature of consciousness, channeling, and prophetic insights, with a particular focus on interpreting historical predictions and the process of divine inspiration.
Channeling and Artistic Inspiration
The issue begins by discussing how movies, using the example of 'Rocky,' can inspire individuals by allowing them to identify with efforts and achieve higher levels of self-expression. This Awareness suggests that such artistic works, like dreams, are important for the feelings they evoke rather than their literal content. The concept of channeling is further explored, noting that divine forces can communicate through artists, musicians, and writers. The example of Jonathan Livingston Seagull is cited, where the author channeled the work while flying. The text emphasizes that inspiration often flows when the rational mind is relaxed, suggesting that entities should be prepared to record these insights.
Interruption of Divine Flow
A question is raised about the interruption of divine flow, specifically referencing the poem 'Kublai Khan' by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, which was left unfinished. Cosmic Awareness explains this phenomenon by relating it to John Keel's concept of the 'biosphere' and the 'biocomputer' that holds collective consciousness. When an entity is attuned to a certain frequency for channeling, an interruption can break this connection. The subsequent attempt to recontact the source is made more difficult by the diminished energy and impulse, as well as the entity's own potential resentment towards the intrusion.
A Beast-Eye View of 1987
A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to analyzing a quotation from David Ben-Gurion, former prime minister of Israel, given in 1962, concerning his vision of the world in 1987. Ben-Gurion predicted the end of the cold war, a gradual democratization of the Soviet Union, and the United States transforming into a welfare state with a planned economy. He also envisioned a federation of Western and Eastern European states, a world alliance with an international police force, the abolition of wars, and a 'true' United Nations in Jerusalem serving as a supreme court for federated continents. Additionally, he foresaw higher education being a right for all and a pill to prevent pregnancy slowing population growth, leading to an average lifespan of 100 years.
This Awareness interprets Ben-Gurion's statement not as pure prophecy, but as a revelation of a plan by certain entities at that time. The plan, it suggests, was altered by subsequent circumstances, such as the expulsion of the Bolsheviks in Russia and the actions of the Skoptsis. The text implies that without these changes, a global socialist state might have emerged through a conspiracy involving Bolsheviks, Rockefeller forces, and British Zionists. The plan to move the UN to Israel is mentioned as having been put on a back burner due to impracticality.
Affected by Film
An unrelated news item reports that a sailor, Leslie Cole, was sentenced to 60 days of hard labor and forfeiture of pay after refusing to wear his Navy uniform or perform military duties, reportedly because he was affected by the movie 'Gandhi.'
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of consciousness, the process of channeling divine information, and the interpretation of prophecies and plans. The editorial stance, as conveyed by Cosmic Awareness, is to analyze these phenomena through a lens of spiritual and conspiratorial understanding, suggesting that events are often guided by specific entities with overarching plans. The magazine positions itself as a source for exploring these deeper, often hidden, aspects of reality and human events.
