Magazine Overview

This issue of 'Revelations of Awareness' (83-7), published by Cosmic Awareness Communications, is dated as copyrighted 1983 and priced at $3.00. The cover features a striking image of an octopus superimposed on a government building with the headline 'How to confront the BEAST,' suggesting a focus on combating negative or controlling forces.

Cosmic Awareness's Perspective on Human Evolution and the Antichrist

Cosmic Awareness discusses the current global trends, noting the simultaneous existence of diverse civilizations throughout history, each with its own culture, religion, and economy. It observes that in the present world, these civilizations have matured into nations that increasingly share economies, intermingle races, and blend religious and philosophical ideas. This interconnectedness, facilitated by modern communication like radio and television, is fostering curiosity and a desire for understanding between cultures, despite lingering prejudices.

The publication highlights that humanity stands at the threshold of a new era, with opportunities for entities to become aware of new ideas and to create a synthesis of the best philosophies and cultures. This global integration is seen as an opportunity for a 'One World' that is shared by all, though it acknowledges that this change may be disturbing to those resistant to new ideas.

A significant portion of the text is dedicated to the concept of the 'Antichrist,' described as an energy or force that all entities on this plane dread and fear. This force is seen as alien to happiness and is characterized by its efforts to establish a totalitarian world government through the manipulation of economies, religions, and nationalism. The Antichrist seeks to control humanity by setting up systems like the Electronic-Fund-Transfer Systems, which could lead to entities being marked and enslaved. The magazine suggests that the Antichrist's plans are currently hindered and moving slower than anticipated, partly due to the increased pace of communication and the development of individual electronic means of sharing information, which make it more difficult to control the masses.

Confronting the Beast and the Role of Questioning

The issue advocates for a strategy of confronting the 'Beast' by alerting others and directing questions to those in positions of authority, rather than engaging in direct confrontation. Questions are presented as less threatening than statements and can effectively expose the motives of those in power. The article suggests asking questions about the war-planner's intentions, their personal plans during a nuclear strike, and their stance on peace and disarmament. It posits that such questioning can weaken the propaganda efforts of these forces and expose their true intentions.

The Influence of Media and Non-Violent Struggle

Electronic media, including CB radio, home computers, television, and movies, are identified as powerful tools that allow entities to share cultures and ideas, making it harder for controlling forces to manipulate the masses. The magazine also touches upon the idea of non-violent struggle, referencing an editorial by Gene Sharp, and questions whether this approach could be a practical alternative to guerrilla warfare and terrorism.

Biblical Interpretations and Misinterpretations

The publication delves into interpretations of biblical passages, particularly the words of Jesus on the cross and the Lord's Prayer. It presents the view of scholar Dr. Rocco Errico, who suggests that the Aramaic word 'shbk' (used in Jesus's cry on the cross) means 'to leave for a purpose' rather than 'forsaken,' implying a statement of destiny rather than despair. Similarly, the Lord's Prayer's phrase 'lead us not into temptation' is suggested to be a mistranslation of 'do not let us enter into temptation.' These interpretations are presented as part of a broader understanding of ancient writings and their combination into texts like the King James Version of the New Testament.

Technology and its Dual Nature

The issue discusses the rapid advancement of technology, including the development of devices that can amplify thought and potentially be used for both destructive purposes (like long-distance murder via ESP) and healing. It warns that the excessive use of power for destruction, even when amplified, creates a pollution that threatens existence, making security less likely than in simpler times. The magazine suggests that the focus should shift towards using technology for healing and bringing happiness to others.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual awareness, the identification and confrontation of negative or controlling forces (personified as the 'Antichrist' or 'Beast'), the power of communication and media, the importance of questioning authority, and the potential for global unity through understanding and tolerance. The editorial stance appears to be one of encouraging critical thinking, spiritual growth, and the active pursuit of peace and individual freedom through conscious awareness and non-violent means.

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" from August 11, 1982, delves into the nature and application of psionics, spiritual phenomena, and societal observations. The magazine presents information from 'Cosmic Awareness,' offering insights into consciousness, energy, and paranormal events.

How to Use Psionics for Good

The lead article addresses the question of using psionics for beneficial purposes. Cosmic Awareness states that psionics, voodoo, magic, and similar techniques for amplifying thought are becoming a science of the future. While acknowledging the tendency for these sciences to be used for destructive ends, it emphasizes their potential for healing, telepathy, and communication. The core principle is that actions should not be used for destructive purposes, as this is not conducive to life, liberty, and happiness. The text warns that using these techniques to harm others incurs heavy karma.

Case Study: Psionics Device and Campus Scandals

A reader, R.M. from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, shares an experience where a 'psionics' device, consisting of postcards, energized water, and a D-Cell battery buried on campus, allegedly coincided with a series of resignations, scandals, and convictions among faculty and staff. The local campus police chief was also charged with felonies. This event is compared to a 'mini-Watergate.' R.M. poses a question about whether photographic negatives and color slides immersed in D-Cell energized water could affect photographed objects like buildings, potentially healing or driving out negative influences and transmuting their purpose into Light centers.

Cosmic Awareness affirms that this action can have a potential effect, depending on the strength of the consciousness of the entity amplifying the thought. It stresses the importance of wishing no harm and ensuring all actions benefit all entities involved, to avoid karmic repercussions.

Cosmic Awareness: Overtones and Angelic Voices

This section addresses a phenomenon reported by E.W. from Iowa, who taped six people singing in a church. Upon playback, the recording seemed to contain thousands of angelic voices. Cosmic Awareness explains this by relating it to the principle of overtones and vibrations. It suggests that the tape, influenced by the recording environment and astral energies, picked up higher octaves and subtle vibrations beyond the original sound. This is likened to how the universe is composed of innumerable vibrations, where one sound can cause others to vibrate on different octaves.

The explanation extends to the idea that the mind reflects the universe and vice versa. The vibrations of an individual are seen as reflections of universal energies, stars, planets, and galaxies. The phenomenon is described as a natural occurrence that can also be artificially created for influence. The quality of music is noted as a factor in attracting higher or lower astral entities.

The Tape Recording Phenomenon

Regarding the specific tape from End-Time Handmaidens, Cosmic Awareness confirms that while not played in reverse, the recording captured thousands of angel-like voices. This is attributed to the tape picking up overtones, which are reflective of angelic voices, influenced by the room's distortions, energies, and astral essence. The process is difficult to describe in terms of electrical impulses but is understood through the concept of vibrations and their interrelation.

Vibrations and Reflections

Cosmic Awareness elaborates on vibrations, stating that even as higher vibrations emanate to create lower ones, lower vibrations can create higher ones. The mind reflects the universe, and the universe reflects the mind. Individual vibrations interact with the universe, and the universe responds. An individual is seen as a reflection of God, angels, or even a miniature universe. The interconnection of vibrations is best understood through musical harmonies and overtones. The chance of a tape recorder accidentally capturing these higher voices is rare unless played backward, but the phenomenon can occur naturally or be artificially induced.

How to Be a Healer and a Peace Maker

This section, dated August 11, 1982, discusses how vibrations and energies are altering toward harmony. It emphasizes that focusing attention, love, and a desire for harmonious resolution on chaotic events can contribute to reconciliation. Entities who focus on conflict with a desire for opposition energize that conflict, while those who visualize reconciliation between opposing forces become healers and peacemakers.

The Military Subconscious

A quote from George F. Kennan's book, "The Nuclear Delusion" (1982), is presented, suggesting that the military's preoccupation with nuclear war might stem from a 'death wish' or an inability to face life's hazards, indicating a lack of faith or inner strength.

How Six Entities Singing in a Church Became an Angelic Choir of Hundreds

This section reiterates the question about the tape recording of angelic voices, asking if it is a genuine input from Celestria and if it is worth acquiring.

Quakers: More Than a Bunch of Do-Gooders

This article provides statistics on Quakers (Society of Friends), noting there are 198,816 worldwide, with 118,097 in the United States. It highlights that Quakers do not prescribe specific flags or practices, but their religion is based on seeking the 'Inner Light' and on testimonies and concerns for peace, love, family, education, environment, equality, justice, simplicity, and integrity. The "Friends Journal" is presented as a publication reflecting Quaker life and thought.

Letters

A letter from H.B. comments on the "S.O.S." (Save our Seniors) initiative and suggests two areas of need for seniors: light cleaning/fix-it jobs around the house and transportation to social events. The writer proposes that college students or other young people could provide these services for a fee.

Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority

This section reports on Evangelist Jerry Falwell's ministries. Donations to his ministries dropped by $6.9 million in 1982, with the "Old Time Gospel Hour" and Moral Majority finishing the year in the red. However, Falwell expects a surplus in 1983 due to increased sacrificial giving. Donations to the "Old Time Gospel Hour" were $56.98 million, while gifts to Moral Majority Inc. increased to $8.38 million. The Moral Majority Foundation's donations dropped to $334,000. Overall donations fell by over 8 percent, though Falwell noted an anonymous donor's significant contribution. Falwell is shifting focus to fighting the nuclear freeze movement, calling it a potential national catastrophe and suggesting it was "spawned and orchestrated in Moscow." He also mentions a meeting with Richard Nixon regarding prayer in schools.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of spiritual, paranormal, and societal issues. The editorial stance, as represented by "Cosmic Awareness," is to provide information on these phenomena, emphasizing the importance of intention, karma, and universal interconnectedness. There is a clear advocacy for using spiritual and psychic abilities for positive, healing purposes while warning against their misuse. The publication also engages with contemporary social and political issues, such as the nuclear freeze debate and the activities of religious and social groups like the Moral Majority and Quakers, framing them within a broader spiritual or karmic context.
