Magazine Overview

Title: Revelations of Awareness
Issue: 84-3
Date: July 14, 1983
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Theme: This issue of the New-Age Cosmic Newsletter explores the pervasive nature of dualistic thinking, its role in perpetuating conflict and war, and the complexities of healing, contrasting medical interventions with spiritual and faith-based approaches.

The Curse of Dualistic Thinking

The newsletter begins by addressing the concept of dualistic thinking, which presents polarized choices and limits an entity's perspective. Cosmic Awareness suggests that this type of thinking is adolescent and immature, leading entities to believe in simplistic solutions like 'either/or' scenarios. The publication argues that this mindset is a primary driver of conflict, as it encourages the destruction of opposing viewpoints rather than the exploration of reconciliation and synthesis. It posits that the current global conflicts are not ideological but are rooted in greed and the struggle for resources, with entities being manipulated by corporate powers to support wars under the guise of fighting Communism or defending liberty.

War and Violence: Beyond Ideology

Cosmic Awareness clarifies that the reasons behind wars are not primarily Communism versus Capitalism, democracy versus totalitarianism, or individual rights. Instead, the underlying causes are the pursuit of resources, oil, minerals, and strategic territories. Corporate powers, it is suggested, use the threat of Communism to gain public support for military actions aimed at controlling these resources. Conversely, Communist countries, facing similar resource needs, exploit the desire for liberation by providing arms and ideologies to disrupt Western corporate influence. The newsletter asserts that these battles are fundamentally about greed and power, not ideals.

Health, Healing, and the Medical Establishment

A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to health and healing. It addresses the controversy surrounding Ruth Carter Stapleton's death, questioning whether she was silenced due to her successful unconventional cancer treatment. Cosmic Awareness indicates that she was essentially healed before returning home, but avoids directly assigning blame for her death.

The newsletter also notes the American Cancer Society's surprising shift towards recommending diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, a stance that mirrors previous advice from Cosmic Awareness. This change is seen as a response to the growing awareness of alternative treatments and the increasing effectiveness of natural health approaches, forcing the medical establishment to acknowledge the importance of nutrition.

Furthermore, the issue discusses the limitations and failures of the medical profession, suggesting that many entities become disillusioned and seek alternative solutions. It highlights the growing awareness among naturopathic and homeopathic doctors, who often combine their practices with other holistic approaches to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of health.

Self-Healing vs. Medical Profession

Cosmic Awareness addresses the question of whether faith alone can heal, contrasting it with the need for medical intervention. It acknowledges the power of prayer and faith but stresses that entities should not forgo medical help when facing emergencies or serious conditions. The newsletter criticizes the notion that one must exclusively rely on faith, particularly when it leads to the denial of necessary medical treatment. It suggests that while divine healing is possible, entities should also utilize available medical resources when faith alone is insufficient.

Religious Freedom and Government Interference

The issue touches upon the potential for religious leaders to impose their beliefs and dictate the actions of their followers, sometimes to the detriment of their well-being. It warns against such dictatorial approaches and highlights the risk of government interference in religious affairs, which could lead to the erosion of constitutional rights and the dictation of beliefs.

How to Detect Rancid Oils and Foods

Practical advice is offered on detecting rancidity in vegetable oils and foods. It suggests that oils without preservatives, if opened and left unrefrigerated for more than 24 hours, are likely rancid. If refrigerated, this timeframe shortens to about a week, depending on the oil type. Animal fats are noted to be easier to detect for rancidity due to their odor.

Conclusion

This issue of Revelations of Awareness encourages readers to move beyond dualistic thinking, to question the true drivers of conflict, and to approach health and healing with a balanced perspective that integrates both spiritual and medical wisdom. It advocates for critical thinking and a holistic understanding of life's complexities.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the critique of dualistic thinking as a source of conflict, the examination of the motivations behind global conflicts (greed and resources over ideology), and the exploration of healing modalities, with a balanced view on faith versus medical intervention. The editorial stance is one of encouraging critical inquiry, self-awareness, and a move towards holistic understanding and reconciliation, while cautioning against blind adherence to dogma or the limitations of polarized thinking.

Critique of Conventional Medicine and Advocacy for Alternative Health

The issue begins by criticizing the rigid, dogmatic approach of conventional medicine, contrasting it with the open-mindedness required for true healing. It posits that the reliance on dogma by both conventional medical practitioners and their patients creates a fanaticism that can hinder effective treatment. The publication argues that the influence of pharmaceutical companies on the American Medical Association (AMA) and medical doctors has led to a loss of faith in the medical profession, frustrating individuals and driving them towards extreme positions.

This Awareness indicates that entities must retain an open mind, must learn to look about and to recognize the power of suggestion, the power of faith, and also accept the availability of medical help when that medical help is absolutely needed.

The article "Why Alternative Medicine Beats the AMA Type" suggests that within 20 years, naturopathic, homeopathic, and chiropractic medical systems will significantly influence the medical profession, leading to improved public health, longer lifespans, and greater quality of life. This shift is attributed to the growing organization and political influence of these alternative systems, which are seen as working independently of pharmaceutical corporations.

It is argued that competent homeopathic and naturopathic doctors can heal many diseases that conventional doctors deem incurable, such as diabetes, cancer, leukemia, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, and heart trouble. These healing methods are said to utilize natural substances like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and nutrients, rather than pharmaceutical drugs that profit large companies.

An example given is the use of Oil of Primrose to reduce triglycerides and cholesterol, thereby cleansing the liver, kidneys, and circulatory system, which in turn reduces hypertension and the effects of diabetes and other associated diseases. The publication emphasizes that many natural substances are far more effective than pharmaceutical drugs and should be made widely available.

Promoting "Lotos Slimming Tea" for Weight Loss

The issue then shifts focus to weight loss, presenting a promotional piece for "Lotos Slimming Tea." This tea is described as an "aromatic diet tea" from China, with a 1500-year history, claimed to guarantee weight loss of up to 30 pounds or more. The product is advertised as a natural "fat burner" that works without requiring diet changes, strenuous exercise, or harmful medications. It claims to burn away unhealthy excess weight, allowing users to achieve a sleek figure.

"Shed weight with the Lotos Slimming Tea. The secret of Chinese temple dancers for 1500 years guarantees you a weight loss of up to 30 pounds or more."

The tea is presented as the "only healthy and effective way to get the figure you want." The company offers a money-back guarantee if the product does not work as advertised, with different package sizes available for varying weight loss goals and timeframes.

Benefits of Amino Acids for Fat Loss and Muscle Development

Following the promotion of the tea, the publication discusses the benefits of a combination of amino acids: arginine, ornithine, and lysine. These are presented as beneficial for ridding the body of fat without exercise or dieting. Specifically, arginine and ornithine (around 1200 mgs each) and lysine (around 900 mgs) are highlighted.

This Awareness indicates that these amino acids tend to strengthen and develop muscles throughout the body without exercise efforts. This Awareness reminds entities that there has never been a muscle created from exercise. The creation of muscles comes only from proteins. Proteins are made from amino acids, - exercise only places these muscles; exercises only directs the amino acids.

It is suggested that individuals wishing to develop muscles and lose fat should use these products, with exercise and diet being optional enhancements rather than necessities.

Addressing Reader Questions and Providing Product Information

The issue includes a "QUESTION" section where a reader shares a promotional piece about Lotos Slimming Tea and asks for its validity. "This Awareness" (referring to Cosmic Awareness) confirms that the substance performs as indicated, affecting the pituitary and thyroid glands and assisting the body in eliminating fatty tissues.

Another question asks if "The Goodship" has access to the Lotos tea herb. The response indicates that the tea itself is not available through The Goodship at this time, but a single pill containing the combination of arginine, ornithine, and lysine is available, which is more cost-effective and convenient.

An editor's note provides contact information for obtaining the Lotos slimming tea: Direct Shopping, 6 Commercial Street, Hicksville, N.Y. 11801. The note advises readers to request information and an order form before sending money, to ensure the money-back guarantee is honored. The editor, Vicki T., shares a personal experience where she lost 5 pounds initially with the tea but regained it, suggesting the product might not be as effective as advertised for everyone, though she acknowledges the money-back guarantee.

For the amino acid combination pill, readers are directed to send $1.00 to The Goodship, PO Box 12072, Portland, Oregon, 97212, for their catalog. Additional information on weight loss via visualization is available in "Revelations of Awareness" No. 79-20 (page 14) for $4.00 from C.A.C.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the perceived failures and limitations of conventional Western medicine, particularly its ties to the pharmaceutical industry. The publication strongly advocates for alternative and natural healing methods, emphasizing their efficacy and lack of side effects. There is a clear editorial stance promoting self-empowerment in health decisions, encouraging readers to explore options beyond mainstream medical advice. The promotion of specific products like Lotos Slimming Tea and amino acid supplements suggests a commercial aspect to the publication's recommendations, albeit framed within a holistic health philosophy.
