Magazine Overview

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness," a New-Age Cosmic Newsletter from Cosmic Awareness Communications, dated "Copyright 1983," is priced at $3.00. The cover headline "GETTING HISTORY STRAIGHT.... COLUMBUS DISCOVERED AMERICAN" suggests a re-examination of historical narratives.

Cosmic Awareness and its Communication

The newsletter defines Cosmic Awareness as a Force that has expressed itself through various avatars like Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed, and Edgar Cayce, and which communicates through trained channels in super-conscious trance levels. The information is presented as interpreted by an entity affiliated with C.A.C., with Paul Shockley serving as the interpreter. Readers are encouraged to question and discover truth for themselves, with C.A.C., the Aquarian Church of Universal Service, and Paul Shockley not being responsible for the statements made by Cosmic Awareness.

Historical Reinterpretations

Marie Antoinette and Ergot

A significant portion of the issue addresses the historical perception of Queen Marie Antoinette. Based on research by Mary Matossian, an associate professor of history at the University of Maryland, the phrase "Let them eat cake" may be a misattribution. Matossian proposes that ergot, a fungus infecting rye grain, played a crucial role in historical events. Ergot produces a hallucinogenic substance that could have caused convulsions, hallucinations, and visions, potentially influencing the Salem witch trials (1692), the "great awakening" in Southern New England (1741), and the "Great Fear" leading to the French Revolution (1789). The article suggests that Marie Antoinette's alleged comment, if it was "Let them eat cake," might have referred to bread made of refined wheat flour, which would have restored sanity, thus vindicating her from the image of a hard-hearted elitist.

Cosmic Awareness confirms this information as essentially correct, indicating that ergot has been used for over a thousand years, with the Sovereign Order of St. John Cross of Jerusalem and the Knights of Malta (and earlier, the Elysian Order) discovering its properties. It suggests that the Knights Templar, Adam Weishaupt's Illuminati, and the Masonic Order were involved in its use, particularly during the French Revolution, influencing consciousness.

Ergot is compared to LSD in its properties, with lysergic acid being a derivative. It is also mentioned that the "Hashin" used ergot to control kidnapped individuals for assassination purposes.

Columbus and Marijuana

Another historical point concerns Christopher Columbus's voyage. Cosmic Awareness suggests that the queen's sponsorship was an effort to find hemp (marijuana) for personal indulgence and royal use, rather than solely for proving the earth was round. The article notes that Columbus landed in the West Indies, not India, and that later voyages brought back gold and tobacco. The use of marijuana, or hemp, is presented as a royal indulgence, not typically found in history books, similar to how the Opium Wars are framed.

Lead in Wine Jars and the Roman Empire

Regarding the statement "Lead in wine jars brought down the Roman Empire," Cosmic Awareness indicates that while lead may have had some effect in weakening entities, it was not the major cause of Rome's decline.

Health, Diet, and Consciousness

The Impact of Diet

The newsletter explores how diet can influence behavior. It highlights alcohol, sugar, and drugs as major forces contributing to societal problems. It also touches upon the use of herbs by witches to induce altered states, mistaking them for mystic experiences. The concept of the "witches' brew" in Macbeth is presented as a fictionalized representation of such practices.

Joan of Arc, Biblical Entities, and Oracles

Cosmic Awareness notes that figures like Joan of Arc, Biblical entities, and the Greek Oracle of Delphi experienced altered states of consciousness, possibly influenced by substances or environmental factors like carbon dioxide gas at Delphi.

"How Diet Can Create Strange and Unusual Behavior"

This section emphasizes that individual behavior is shaped by a combination of factors, including diet. Deficiencies or imbalances in nutrition can lead to personality changes, and what might appear as possession or unseen forces could be due to a lack of nutritional balance. Hair analysis and blood tests are recommended to identify toxins and mineral deficiencies that can affect physical, emotional, and mental health, including heavy metals like lead and cadmium which can impair brain function.

"Berserk Entities May Have a Heavy Metal Problem"

This sub-section specifically links excessive cadmium in the system to behaviors resembling epilepsy or outrageous actions, suggesting that individuals exhibiting mental problems or erratic behavior should check for heavy metal toxins and nutritional balance.

The Proper Use of Emotions

Emotions are presented as tools that can be used constructively or destructively, depending on motivation. Proper use involves using emotions to break through barriers, foster harmony, and enhance communication. Improper use, driven by personal promotion at the expense of others, is destructive. The concept of "amplitude" is used to describe the intensity of emotions, suggesting that increasing amplitude with a more inclusive and enlightened attitude leads to constructive outcomes, while increasing it without a corresponding attitude increase leads to destruction.

Quantity vs. Quality in Relationships and Emotions

This section distinguishes between quantity (the number of occurrences) and quality (the degree, value, and intensity) in emotions and relationships. It argues that a focus on quantity can lead to confusion and a superficial understanding, while considering quality allows for deeper insight and more effective reconciliation of issues. Entities are encouraged to question the degree of intensity and experience behind surface-level observations.

Specific Health Advice

"How About Sucking Thirty Lemons a Day!"

This section discusses the benefits of lemons for longevity, arthritis, rheumatism, shingles, gallstones, and gout. It suggests that sucking lemons can reduce carbohydrate retention, aid in weight loss, lighten the skin, and cleanse the system of toxins and radiation. The advice is to increase lemon intake gradually, with potential benefits for joint mobility, cleansing the bloodstream, and boosting the immune system, similar to Vitamin C. However, it cautions that some individuals may need to adjust the quantity due to acidity.

Cancer as a Fungus

An article titled "CANCER IS REVEALED AS A FUNGUS (Cider Vinegar Kills Many Cancer Fungi)" suggests that cancer is a fungus and that apple cider vinegar can be effective in its treatment and remission. The mechanism proposed is that the acidic nature of vinegar reacts against the mold-type fungus, starving it by reversing the growth tissues it feeds upon.

Princess Grace and the Vatican

Regarding the question of whether Princess Grace was murdered due to uncovering Vatican secrets, Cosmic Awareness indicates that while there may be an amalgamation of disconnected facts, the scenario as presented does not appear to be valid as a theory with clear connections, describing it as "negative" and "loose implications."

Car Accident and "Free Will"

In response to a question about the car accident involving Princess Grace, Cosmic Awareness suggests that the indications point to the entity having become disoriented, possibly due to a stroke, leading to a loss of control while driving, rather than tampering with the vehicle.

The issue also touches upon the concept of "free will," suggesting that it is related to levels of awareness and attitudes rather than just actions, and that entities have the ability to create and manifest through thought, emotion, and visualization.

Healing and Spiritual Practices

"How Deep Breaths of Oxygen Is Used in Healing & Transmuting"

This section explains that deep breaths of oxygen, combined with the intention of sending "prana of God" and "White Light of God's love," can be a beneficial practice for healing and spiritual purposes. The process involves breathing in divine energy and exhaling it towards specific individuals, groups, or places, with the intention of sending love and light. This energy is transmitted through the consciousness of the universe, affecting those to whom it is directed.

Planetary Search (Pioneer 10 and 11)

An update on the Pioneer 10 and 11 missions mentions their role in searching for a possible undiscovered tenth planet or astral body that could explain perturbations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. The project is managed by NASA Ames Research Center.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the reinterpretation of historical events through a spiritual or alternative lens, the influence of substances and diet on consciousness and behavior, the nature and proper use of emotions, and the potential for healing through natural means and spiritual practices. The editorial stance, as conveyed by "Cosmic Awareness," is one of encouraging self-discovery, questioning conventional narratives, and promoting a holistic understanding of health and spirituality that integrates physical, emotional, and mental well-being. There is a consistent emphasis on the power of consciousness and intention in shaping reality and facilitating healing.

Title: REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS
Issue: 83-2
Date: June 2, 1983
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Country: USA
Language: English

This issue of Revelations of Awareness delves into several distinct topics, beginning with a detailed explanation of the concept of "Divine Forces" and the "Law of Gratitude." It also reports on significant economic and political events in South America, specifically Argentina, and addresses perceived conflicts and potential future dissolution of the Catholic Church, linking it to broader societal and religious shifts. Finally, it features a strong call to action regarding a boycott of Nestlé products.

Divine Forces and the Law of Gratitude

The issue addresses a question from T.S. of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, regarding the concept of "Divine Forces" as spoken of by Cosmic Awareness. The newsletter clarifies that "Divine Forces" primarily refers to one's own Higher Self, a guide that assists in personal development and soul growth. Cosmic Awareness distinguishes between genuine faith and a passive expectation of rewards. It states that depending solely on Divine Forces for daily needs, without personal effort, is generally not rewarded by higher forces and may even lead to inconvenience to prevent apathy. However, for those who put forth effort to do something worthwhile for themselves or others, faith in the Divine Force to help provide opportunities is appropriate. This is linked to the "Law of Gratitude," where energy given receives a reward according to its nature.

South America: The Day the Money Stopped

A news report from Buenos Aires, Argentina, dated June 2, 1983, details a significant economic measure taken by the military government. To combat inflation, four zeros were removed from the country's currency, with the new "peso Argentino" being equivalent to 10,000 old pesos. This move aimed to simplify bookkeeping and address the psychology of inflation, which had seen annual increases fall under 100 percent only once in the previous seven years. Banks and financial institutions were closed to allow for the conversion of accounts and reprogramming of computers.

Why Various Sources of Spiritual Information Appear Conflicting

This section addresses the phenomenon of discrepancies in spiritual information received from various sources, or even from the same source at different times. Cosmic Awareness uses the analogy of astronomers viewing the universe from different points and with different telescopes to explain this. Each astronomer, despite being an expert, would describe the universe differently based on their unique perspective, equipment, and location. Similarly, entities receive information from different "frames of reference," leading to varied interpretations and apparent contradictions. The newsletter suggests that understanding these different perspectives and asking about the intended frame of reference (mythical, historical, or symbolic) can help in clarifying the meaning.

Linguistic differences, changes in symbols over time, and the subjective interpretation of messages also contribute to these discrepancies. The concept of "active listening" is introduced as a method to check understanding by restating what has been heard.

Is Dissolution of the Catholic Church Just Around the Corner?

This section, referencing an article from "The Countdown" publication, discusses a perceived threat to the Catholic Church. It cites an article by Dr. Steven Mumford, which advocates for a schism within the American church over the population question, alleging that the conspiracy against the church is directed from high circles within NATO, including Secretary of State Alexander Haig. The article suggests that total social chaos will destroy the church, a belief shared by some Christian fundamentalists based on interpretations of the Book of Revelation.

Cosmic Awareness responds by indicating that the Protestant movement in the U.S. is influenced to view the Catholic Church as the "Beast of the Book of Revelation." It suggests that forces controlling the Protestant churches operate through higher echelons of the World Council of Churches and similar organizations, including the National Council of Christians and Jews. The Catholic Church is also noted as being influenced by these forces. The newsletter predicts that the Catholic Church's strength is threatened and may undergo significant change or dissolution, particularly when Uranus enters Sagittarius. Subsequently, the Protestant movement is also expected to unravel. This is described as a "total transmutation of the religious fabric of society," potentially leading to a global religious war, ideological conflicts, and actual physical violence. However, it is also stated that the Christ Consciousness will prevail, and while dogma and form may fall, the Spirit will be free.

An editorial note from "ED" mentions an article in "Mother Jones" magazine titled "Their Will Be Done. Let the Pope Keep the Kingdom & the Glory--The CIA Wants the Power," which details alleged CIA involvement in splitting the Catholic Church.

Crimes like these demand a boycott of Taster's Choice.

This section is a strong call to action for a national boycott of Nestlé, specifically targeting their brand Taster's Choice. It accuses Nestlé of committing crimes against mothers and infants in the Third World through the flagrant promotion of breast-milk "substitutes." The article claims that hundreds of thousands of infants have sickened and died due to malnutrition and disease as a result of Nestlé's practices. It highlights Nestlé's repeated violation of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Code on infant formula promotion and its lobbying against the Code's enforcement. The boycott is presented as an "economic warfare" strategy to force Nestlé to act responsibly. The article states that the worldwide boycott has already cost Nestlé over $1 billion and aims to cost them an additional $120 million in America by targeting Taster's Choice, Nestlé's leading brand in the U.S. marketplace. It urges readers to spread the word and offers a coupon for more information and to join the boycott, with options to donate to the Infant Formula Action Coalition.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual understanding, the nature of reality, and societal critique. The publication consistently emphasizes personal responsibility, effort, and inner guidance (Higher Self) over passive reliance on external forces. It highlights the subjective nature of perception and information, urging critical thinking and a deeper understanding of context. The editorial stance is critical of corporate practices that harm vulnerable populations, as seen in the Nestlé boycott campaign, and also addresses perceived threats and transformations within religious institutions, suggesting a move towards a more spiritual rather than dogmatic expression.
