This issue of Revelations of Awareness focuses on the concepts of maturity and immaturity, exploring how these attitudes influence an entity's life and interactions. The publication also touches upon commitment to the New Age, the breakdown of traditional family roles, and the 'Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon' as a model for collective consciousness shifts.

The Concept of Maturity as Opposed to Immaturity

Cosmic Awareness defines maturity as the ability to delay gratification for something of greater value. Entities who are immature seek immediate satisfaction and are impatient, often creating trouble for themselves by denying future potential. This is compared to making wine, where patience yields a better result. The current society, according to Awareness, shows a greater tendency towards momentary gratifications, leading to a destruction of long-range goals and values. Mature entities, however, are aware of the need to allow time to take its course and set enduring goals.

Setting a goal, even a general one, allows an entity to begin moving and developing a sense of purpose. This commitment increases the entity's magnetic center and draws energy, leading to development. Conversely, an entity without direction is tossed by external influences, depleting their soul and energies. As entities mature, they begin to question their purpose and may see a general direction. Awareness suggests stating a general goal like "I want to move my life in a direction that is good for myself and others," which is more beneficial than an infantile goal like "I want that bottle because it looks so delicious."

The trouble with infantile gratifications is that they can carry into adulthood, leading to antisocial, alcoholic, or criminal behavior. Entities may violate others' rights for momentary gratification. This immaturity, particularly in relation to relationships, can lead to an entity being oblivious to others' existing relationships and seeing them only as obstacles. These immature quests create havoc in society. Developing long-range purposes and goals helps to fade the dangers associated with immaturity.

Entities with Suicidal Natures

Entities with suicidal natures often lack goals and feel their future is futile. Destructive activities are often accompanied by a lack of well-defined goals. Awareness emphasizes the importance of helping entities find a sense of direction and purpose, even if vague, as a strong commitment to move toward that direction can lead to significant accomplishments.

Creating a Commitment

All journeys begin in a general direction, leading to specific points. Commitment is likened to setting a course or rudder to avoid being pulled off course by external influences. Entities can start with a general or even vague commitment, exploring the path and making it more specific as they go. Strengthening commitments increases an entity's strength and soul development. Facing conflict and despair, and then choosing to continue despite hardship, builds strength. The "Ordeal of Fire" tempers the will, and emerging from despair with renewed courage allows entities to move forward with greater strength. Commitment differentiates leaders from followers.

Are Men More Irresponsible Today?

This section addresses the cultural breakdown of the family and the perceived reversal of roles between men and women. The mother has largely taken over the role of raising children, while the father's role has become less defined, often seen as a playful, less responsible figure. This leads to male children not developing a strong sense of personal strength and seeking a partner to fill the role their mother was "supposed" to play. The stereotype of the father as a hard-working provider is diminishing due to increased divorce rates and the rise of substitutes or absent fathers.

The concept of a father is often transferred to government powers, with men becoming less central. The high divorce rate leads to women becoming dependent on welfare and child support, while men may avoid legal commitments to relationships. This creates a situation where women raise children alone, and men feel useless, while women feel like slaves to society. Awareness suggests that children should seek fathers' permission and financial support, at least 70% of the time, to re-establish the father's role as a provider and to symbolize the receiving of material gifts from the father.

The Role of Father Today

The role of the father is often depicted in media as less serious than the mother's, who is shown as holding the family together. This can lead to children seeking fun with the father but relying on the mother for stability. If the father is not a "buddy-buddy" friend, the child may feel deprived. The stereotype of the father as a provider is fading, with divorce creating a sense that fathers don't truly exist. The father's role is often transferred to government authorities, and even stepfathers may be seen as live-in boyfriends rather than fathers. This automatically provides the male child with a concept of finding a woman to take him in and provide shelter, while he plays the role of the provider of pleasure, not the committed father.

This situation is exacerbated by welfare programs that discourage marriage. The lack of commitment means the male entering the family does not feel obligated to support it, as the government is the surrogate father. The mother and father are expected to work together, sharing commitments. However, if the child receives nourishment and money primarily from the mother, they may see her as the source of all things. The father can become an aloof presence, meaningful only to the mother's moods. Many mothers enjoy this role, finding importance in their children that they may not find in their husbands.

A Strong Family is Defined

A strong family is one where the husband and wife support each other and together support the children. Divorce disrupts this relationship, affecting the father-child and mother-child bonds. While separation may be the only solution in some cases, the general trend of divorce, often due to men refusing to be providers or seeking to be masters without affection, and women expecting too much, leads to altered values in children.

How to Locate Mature, Responsible Men

Finding mature and responsible men is challenging when entities seek gratification in places where such individuals are not typically found. Awareness suggests looking in professional settings or through services like computer dating or newspaper ads that allow for listing desired qualifications. It is better to meet people with specific intentions rather than relying on chance encounters. Placing oneself in environments frequented by desired types of individuals (e.g., restaurants near hospitals for doctors) can increase chances of meeting compatible partners.

Help from the Higher Forces

Awareness suggests that sometimes a potential mate is not available at a particular time, and this is governed by forces outside of the self. Entities should be aware of what they wish from a relationship and what they are willing to give. Clear communication of desires is crucial. Relationships evolve based on the insight, intuitiveness, and clarity of the entities involved. Compatibility leads to quicker evolution, while great differences create hurdles.

The 100th Monkey Phenomenon

This section explains the 'Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon,' a concept that suggests when a critical number of individuals adopt a new idea or behavior, it can spread rapidly to others. The story of the Japanese monkeys on Koshima Island washing sweet potatoes is used as an example. Awareness states that the exact number is not as important as the collective energy and frequency that creates an "ideological breakthrough." When a limited number of people know of a new awareness, it can remain the consciousness property of those people, but once a threshold is reached, it can spread to almost everyone.

This phenomenon is related to the tuning of consciousness to a frequency, similar to tuning a radio. The energy added by each entity increases the collective force exponentially. For instance, if one entity carries a sign with a certain power, two entities have four times that power, and four entities have sixteen times that power. This concept is applied to humans, suggesting that if a significant number of people become aware of the dangers of nuclear weapons and decide to do something, it can create a field that reaches almost everyone.

Awareness also draws a parallel between the Hundredth Monkey effect and the messages disseminated by Cosmic Awareness and CAC. Concepts voiced by Awareness, published by CAC, and read by the membership, start to appear around the nation and world within months, indicating a refining process where concepts are taken from the mass mind, refined, and then replanted.

The Meditation of Alternating Consciousness

This section introduces a complex meditation technique called the "Meditation of Alternating Consciousness." It requires an entity to set up in their consciousness beforehand the recognition of trivial situations and the decision to alter consciousness and step out of them when they occur. This meditation helps entities break free from trivial patterns by recognizing when they are becoming overly identified with a position in a trivial argument or dispute. By recognizing this as a climax point for the meditation, the entity can step out of such identifications, break the pattern, and free themselves.

Artificial Urgencies

Awareness distinguishes between genuine urgencies and "artificial urgencies." Genuine urgencies are those that are present and demanding of response, especially those in one's immediate environment. Artificial urgencies are created by individuals seeking excitement or attention, demanding that others respond to their self-created problems. Awareness advises entities to deal with artificial urgencies by recognizing them as such and not allowing them to drain energy. The entity creating the artificial urgency should be encouraged to solve their own problems.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around personal growth, spiritual development, and the importance of conscious choice. Cosmic Awareness consistently emphasizes self-awareness, the power of commitment, and the need to move beyond immediate gratification towards higher goals. The editorial stance is one of guidance and empowerment, encouraging readers to explore their own truths and to actively participate in their spiritual evolution and the creation of a "New Age." There is a consistent message that individual consciousness and collective action are powerful forces for change.

Title: REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS
Issue: 11
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Country: USA
Date: Not specified

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" delves into several profound concepts related to consciousness, perception, and spiritual development. It addresses the nature of "artificial urgencies," the methods for contacting one's spiritual guide, and the potential for advanced technological devices related to psychic phenomena.

Artificial Urgencies and Genuine Needs

The first section of the magazine explores the concept of "artificial urgencies." This Awareness indicates that entities may create these artificial urgencies as a form of defense mechanism, to hide their real needs or vulnerabilities. These artificial screens are presented to confuse the entity and to elicit a specific response, often to keep others at a distance or to manipulate them. The text suggests that these urgencies are not always easy to spot and that one must observe carefully to understand the true need. It poses a follow-up question: "if somebody has the need, what entices them or encourages them to put up a screen in order to cover it?"

Cosmic Awareness explains that entities may not wish to convey vulnerability or fear, so they create a "game" or artificial creation that compels others to react. This keeps others at a distance, allowing for manipulation. This behavior often occurs on a subconscious level, where the entity may not be consciously aware of their actions. Entities experiencing weakness may overcompensate by creating an appearance of strength or aggressive action to ward off any perceived intrusion into their areas of weakness. A suggested approach to dealing with these situations is to genuinely ask the entity: "Is this a genuine urgency, or is this something you are creating artificially for me to respond to?" This question, asked in a genuine sense rather than as sarcasm, can help to put the situation in proper perspective and focus.

How to Contact Your Spiritual Guide

The second major section, titled "How to Contact Your Spiritual Guide (More on Cosmic Night School and Dreams)," addresses a question from a personal reading. The inquirer wishes to know and be aware of their spiritual guide or master teacher on the other side who is willing to communicate and help them serve others.

Cosmic Awareness suggests a method involving dreams. The entity is advised to tell themselves before sleep each night that they will sleep well, have vivid dreams, and remember them. This practice should be repeated for at least three weeks, nightly. By doing so, the entity will begin to remember certain aspects of their dreams where communication with their spiritual guide occurs. These dream levels are where the entity is taught certain messages. The process of programming oneself to remember dreams will lead to becoming closer friends with the teacher and may allow for the exchange and sharing of information.

Additionally, the inquirer is advised to study the works of Annie Besant, J. Krishnamurti, and Max Heindel. The book "Thinking and Destiny" by Percival is also recommended, not for exhaustive study, but to occasionally pick up for certain messages. The current focus, however, is on working with dreams and giving oneself suggestions in this manner.

A Machine to Replace Awareness Interpreters?

This section presents a letter from a member in Buenos Aires, Argentina, named J.R., who is an inventor. J.R. has sent information about his inventions and asks for Awareness's comment.

J.R. references the "Hidden World" series and the Shaver mystery, proposing a computer that could replace Mr. Paul Shockley as an "Interpreter of Awareness." He mentions Edgar Cayce's prediction that psychic forces can be detected, amplified, and selected, and notes the existence of radionic and psionic machines that amplify an operator's thoughts. J.R. has been researching the use of thought for operating machines. His proposed device would be a memory bank linked to a speaker and a detector tuned to Awareness. The device would use a tape recorder, and the operator's role would be to remain calm when "Revelations" come through the speaker. He also references Dr. Wilhelm Reich's work on an amplifier of psychic energies and suggests that Sam Millar might benefit from reading Reich's books. The memory bank would store English words, sentences, and letters, allowing Awareness to send psychic impulses to be heard through the speaker.

Cosmic Awareness comments that the construction of such a device could be beneficial if properly used, though it is more easily discussed than accomplished. It suggests that with sufficient energy and time, the project appears feasible, but acknowledges many obstacles to development. Similar devices have existed in the past and may exist on other planets. The concept is also compared to recent devices built by electronics companies.

A Device Capable of Tuning into Past History

This Awareness indicates that a device capable of tuning into past history and reading events of previous times exists, but it is kept secret and may be released later. Furthermore, other devices are being built that can read minds and send or receive thought patterns, though these are still in the early stages of development. Work is ongoing in cutting-edge science, electronics, and physics to create machines that extend knowledge through psionic devices. This field is described as relatively new for this civilization and can lead to a deeper understanding of the planet's history, consciousness, and the workings of mind forces. The inquirer is asked to decide if they wish to devote time and effort to this research, noting that much information may not be easily researched and duplication of effort might be necessary. However, such research may also open channels to contact others in the field.

Error Percentage of a Channeled Device

A follow-up question asks about the percentage of error if such a device were created and channeled this Awareness.

Cosmic Awareness states that the accuracy is relative to the perfection of the device's design and the technology used. It is easier to talk about such a device than to create one. While many science-fiction writers can conceive of amazing machines, few engineers can create them as realities, often remaining as mental toys. However, occasionally, someone attempts the impossible and creates a possibility that eventually becomes an actuality. The radio, television, and other inventions were once impossible dreams. The text mentions Techtronics as a firm that has created a machine capable of reading the history of events through psychometry by electronically reading vibratory influences, but this is highly secretive.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes self-awareness and the pursuit of deeper understanding through introspection and the exploration of consciousness. The editorial stance appears to be one of encouraging individuals to question perceived realities, to seek genuine understanding beyond superficial appearances, and to engage in practices that foster spiritual growth and connection. There is an emphasis on the power of thought, dreams, and the potential for psionic and technological advancements to unlock new levels of knowledge and experience. The publication also highlights the importance of discerning truth from deception, whether in interpersonal interactions or in the broader context of unexplained phenomena.
