Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Cover Headline: ...Flowers and Saccharine.... the Dark Hierarchy

This issue of Revelations of Awareness, published by Cosmic Awareness Communications, delves into the complexities of spiritual paths, imposters, and the nature of consciousness. The cover features an angelic figure and a cartoon illustrating a deceptive dynamic, setting the tone for the content within.

The Spurious Brotherhood of Ascended Masters

The issue addresses a letter from an individual in Arizona who shares her experiences with groups claiming affiliation with the Ascended Masters and the Solar Hierarchy. She warns of a "spurious Brotherhood" on the astral planes, composed of imposters who mimic these higher beings. These imposters, she states, often demand money, feed followers' egos, and provide superficial teachings mixed with questionable material to deceive the unwary. The writer emphasizes that true members of the Great White Brotherhood are not found in such commercialized groups but are those who have earned their ascension through personal effort and humility, without making personal claims or commercializing spiritual truth.

Cosmic Awareness confirms the accuracy of this information, explaining that in its Development Classes, it instructs teachers and guides to step aside to allow candidates to move on. It highlights that while teachers are meant to assist, some leaders, driven by jealousy, may block students' progress to protect their own positions. The entity also warns against students who, driven by ego, may seek to usurp a teacher's position for personal gain rather than service.

The Hierarchy of Ahriman

This section further elaborates on the concept of a hierarchy of deception. Cosmic Awareness describes these entities as providing information that lacks substance, offering condolences and words of comfort without encouraging genuine growth or self-examination. These messages are often flowery and designed to pacify entities, keeping them as members and supporters of the organization. This is identified not as a direct problem for entities' lives but as a diversion from the true spiritual path, akin to spending time watching television or reading flattering messages that do not inspire change or greater enlightenment.

How to Tell if You Are on the True Spiritual Path

The true spiritual path requires effort, expansion of consciousness, exploration of ideas, and significant changes in one's life to become more service-oriented, humble, giving, loving, and aware. It involves respecting others and engaging in relationships that reflect this respect and love. The path toward the Highest and Best allows entities to avoid entrapment by false forces and move toward the pure Light of the Void.

Entities are cautioned to question their spiritual development if they become smug, fascinated by their own spirituality, or feel they have a special place simply due to subscriptions or meditation. The issue of personal effort versus reliance on teachers is discussed, with the principle that "when the student is ready, the teacher appears." However, if a teacher blocks progress, it is a sign to move on.

The 3 Paths of Spiritual Development

Cosmic Awareness outlines three paths: alchemy (fastest and most powerful), service, and suffering. The path of suffering is chosen by many who attempt to achieve on their own, leading to more hardship than gain, but ultimately fostering spiritual growth through wrestling with ego. The path of service involves recognizing the needs of others and offering assistance. The path of alchemy is described as the changing of consciousness, citing examples like Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus, Christian salvation, and practices in Zen and Oriental philosophies.

Loyalty or Dependency on an Organization

This section addresses the concept of loyalty, distinguishing between willing cooperation and dependency. Organizations demanding all of an entity's possessions in exchange for care are warned against, as this can lead to a state of bondage where extracting oneself becomes difficult. True loyalty, as an action of bonding oneself to a cause, is seen as healthy when it is a willing agreement based on mutual respect. However, loyalty driven by dependency, fear of physical or emotional suffering, or the belief that salvation can only be found through a specific organization, is considered a form of coercion and bondage, which Cosmic Awareness does not countenance.

Excommunication and the Dark Hierarchy

A case is presented where members of a group were "excommunicated" by their leader. Cosmic Awareness indicates that this was a beneficial action, reflecting poorly on the organization itself. This event was seen as a threat by the hierarchy organization, which viewed itself as the sole authority and perceived Cosmic Awareness as a competitor. The organization sought to prevent its followers from contacting Cosmic Awareness, leading to the excommunication.

Lee Michaels and the Dark Hierarchy

The issue discusses the entity Lee Michaels, who had the ability to contact entities from different evolutionary levels. His opening to higher realms, while initially beneficial, became problematic when he became fascinated with the attention, allowing entities from the Inner Planes, some of lower quality, to follow him and cause mischief. This led Cosmic Awareness to close this opening. The entity Ralph Duby is discussed in relation to Lucifer and Ahriman, with the concept of Satan being presented as a more recent construct, largely a personification of separateness and duality, energized by collective consciousness.

Satan, Hades, and the Spiritual Hierarchy

Cosmic Awareness clarifies that Satan is not necessarily an evil entity but rather a concept representing intensified rationality, structure, and separateness. In higher dimensions, what is perceived as evil is recognized as ignorance, confusion, and separation from the Divine. The concept of Hades is described as an incomplete realm of consciousness that insists on separateness. Entities who insist on separateness and refuse to surrender to the universal oneness are drawn toward the Dark Hierarchy or Hades. Conversely, those who surrender to the Divine Forces move toward Celestria, a realm of unity.

The Mark of the Beast and Social Security Checks

A question arises regarding rumors of Social Security checks containing notations about a "666 number" required for cashing. Cosmic Awareness confirms that this was an action initiated by an entity seeking to alert the public about planned computer manipulations and efforts to implement the "Mark of the Beast." This entity, working within the system, affected computers to release this information ahead of schedule. The Awareness indicates that entities must remain alert, as these plans are still in progress.

Christian Churches Heading into the Next 20 Years

Cosmic Awareness predicts significant changes in religious concepts due to the entry of Uranus into Sagittarius. This transit is expected to bring about rebellion, revolution, and the emergence of new religious ideas, fostering a growing realization of reincarnation and spiritual heritage. While old religions will need to adapt, the issue also foresees potential religious wars, particularly in the Middle East, influenced by astrological factors.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of spiritual truth versus deception, the importance of genuine humility and service over ego and commercialization, and the concept of consciousness as a creative force. The editorial stance, as conveyed by Cosmic Awareness, is one of encouraging discernment, self-inquiry, and a critical examination of spiritual organizations and teachings. It advocates for a path of personal growth, service, and surrender to the Divine, while warning against imposters, false hierarchies, and the dangers of dependency and coercion.

This issue of Cosmic Awareness, dated June 9, 1983, focuses on the intersection of astrology and sexuality, alongside discussions on personal quality and a geopolitical event. The cover prominently features 'THE ASTROLOGY OF SEXUALITY' by Martin Schulman, with a circular astrological chart as its visual element.

The Astrology of Sexuality

The issue begins with a question about a book release by Samuel Weiser Publishing Company titled 'The Astrology of Sexuality' by Martin Schulman. The book's premise is that the entire horoscope, not just the 8th House, symbolizes sexuality. It suggests that understanding one's own sexuality is crucial for a centered life and that the book provides a description of sexual polarities developed through the houses.

Cosmic Awareness affirms that the book appears well-rounded and well-defined. It posits that all activity can be symbolized by sexual energy, likening sex to the 'cone of the hurricane known as life.' This energy is seen as an expression of intensity, a culmination of mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical forces. Therefore, no single zodiac sign can totally symbolize sex, although Scorpio is noted for its association with alchemy and transmutation of energy, which can be equated to the climax of energy.

The magazine then proceeds to interpret how each zodiac sign can be associated with sexuality in the minds of some entities:

• Aries: Energy in movement, applicable to sexual connotations.
• Taurus: Energy moving towards stability, also sensual with a desire to refine and explore, symbolizing fertility and the bursting forth of spring, which can evoke images of sex.
• Virgo: Symbolizes fruition, ripeness, and readiness, with the grain and seed ready to fall, which can bring images of sex to mind.
• Libra: Represents partnership, balance, harmony, and relationship, implying marriage or agreements, and can evoke images of sex.
• Scorpio: Symbolizes the movement and transmutation of energy from one form to another, including the entity's energies expressed through intercourse, and exchanges of goods, all of which can be associated with images of sex.
• Sagittarius: The hunter's pursuit of truth and meaning can be associated with sex, as entities may pursue sex as a target.
• Capricorn: Symbolized by the goat climbing to heights of glory, associated with fertility, accomplishment, and conquest, where the conquest of goals can be associated with sex.
• Aquarius: The water-bearer giving away what it carries can be associated with images of sex.
• Pisces: Represented by two fishes swimming in opposite directions, symbolizing love, emotion, and the interplay of forces, which can be seen as a symbol of sex.

Cosmic Awareness suggests that these signs can also symbolize life or activities, but for some entities, the tendency is to view life through the symbol of sex, similar to Wilhelm Reich. The zodiac is presented as an excellent map for gaining insight into the mystery of sex.

The book is recommended for entities who have problems with the concept of sex, or who suspect they might, and also for those fascinated by sex or life itself. Applying the book's principles to life in general can reveal insights into life energies and their expression.

It is noted that C.A.C. has 12 copies of 'The Astrology of Sexuality' in stock for $7.95.

The Concept of Quality

This section, presented as an opening message from June 9, 1983, focuses on the concept of quality. Cosmic Awareness distinguishes between adequate, inadequate, and superb value. It emphasizes that quality in life emerges when individuals, leaders, and peers consistently demand and provide the highest and best. Entities that do not demand or give their highest and best cannot expect a life of high quality. The advice given is to ask oneself in every situation and relationship: "What is the highest and best for this situation, for this relationship, and how can I assist in bringing about the highest and best?" This extends to society, urging readers to ask leaders about their commitment to providing the highest and best for those they are responsible for.

In the coming months, entities will have greater opportunities to determine their lifestyle, requiring them to put forth their highest and best and demand the highest and best from life.

A Jewish Group Denounces Israel

This news report from the United Nations (AP) details a letter sent by a sect of Orthodox Jews, Neturei Karta, through an Arab ambassador. They are opposed to Zionism and have asked the UN to take control of Jerusalem. The letter denounces Israel as a "sacrilegious state" that oppresses religious Jews. The sect believes a modern state of Israel can only be realized supernaturally with the Messiah's arrival. The report mentions that Israeli police recently raided a synagogue in Jerusalem to arrest alleged vandals, with conflicting accounts of the number of arrests and the reasons for them.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the exploration of esoteric knowledge through astrology, the connection between universal energies and human experience (particularly sexuality), and the importance of personal and societal quality. The editorial stance, as conveyed by Cosmic Awareness, is one of guidance and insight, encouraging self-reflection, the pursuit of higher understanding, and the demand for excellence in all aspects of life. The inclusion of the news item about the Neturei Karta sect suggests an interest in geopolitical events that intersect with religious and ideological conflicts, viewed through the lens of universal principles.
