Magazine Overview

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" (No. 85-2, Issue No. 265) from Cosmic Awareness Communications, published in Olympia, Washington, USA, focuses on "The Nature of Youth" and "Dealing With All The Pains... (The Cosmic Awareness Program to Prevent Crime)". The cover features an illustration of a horse and the price is $3.00.

The Psychology of Being Mature

Cosmic Awareness addresses the inherent conflict between youth and elders, attributing it to the youth's ambition and lack of direction versus the elders' desire to conserve energy. It notes the generational shift in attitudes, exemplified by the "Don't trust anyone over 30" to "Don't trust anyone under 40" sentiment. Young people often feel alienated by societal corruption and may withdraw. Impatience is identified as a key sign of immaturity, driving the desire for immediate fulfillment and potentially leading to ambition, resentment, or antisocial behavior if not properly channeled.

The older generation is urged to remember their own youthful experiences to understand the difficulties young people face. Youth, having been under parental control, seeks freedom but may find society lacking in security. This creates a conflict, with young people desiring freedom while fearing responsibility. Establishing clear rules for separation from parental control is advised to help youth take on responsibility without making parents feel guilty.

Dealing with the Pains of Youth

Impulsiveness in youth, often unsettling to adults, can lead to disruptions. This Awareness suggests that understanding the pain and unfulfilled desires of youth can help predict their actions. Even when reaching the age of accountability, youth may still need guidance. Society's role is crucial in providing programs that offer guidance, training, and support for young people entering the social and job markets. This includes teaching them how to get better jobs, dress appropriately, and understand job requirements.

Young people often become discouraged if not promoted quickly, but they also need to understand the importance of dependability, constancy, and loyalty. The advice is to seek promotion if warranted, or consider changing occupations if growth is limited.

Crime and the Youthful Female's Influence on Males

Female youth mature faster socially and physically, carrying a greater responsibility to guide young men. Mothers and fathers should help daughters recognize the need to demand maturity from their male partners.

Reduce Crime with "Youth Assistance Programs"

Social programs directed toward youth, termed "Youth Assistance Programs," can help those between 15 and 28 emotionally, socially, and psychologically, fostering a sense of harmony with society. These programs can provide encouragement, advice, job connections, and information for self-improvement. While funding may be a current issue, these programs are seen as a long-term solution to reduce crime, save money, and restore peace.

Crime is often committed by entities between 15 and 30, with a significant portion between 16 and 25, predominantly males. Females may influence males to commit crimes by egging them on, while risking little themselves.

The Nature of Youth and Societal Influence

This Awareness indicates that youth, when experiencing pain or having unfulfilled desires, will seek an outlet for their energies, which can be constructive or destructive. Society's role is to channel these energies into constructive activities, preventing them from becoming destructive. This can be achieved through youth action groups that direct energy towards cleaning up cities, restoring buildings, and engaging in community improvement projects. Payment can be in money, credits, or other forms of recompense.

Pain is identified as the primary motivator for action, stemming from either the desire to escape a negative circumstance or the desire for something better. Society should provide goals that align with its needs and help alleviate the pain experienced by youth.

Follow-Up Question: Crime and Socioeconomic Factors

Regarding the report that a high percentage of crime in big cities is committed by teenage and young Black individuals due to economic poverty, Cosmic Awareness suggests that while economic factors play a role, the issue is more complex. It indicates that the solution lies in addressing the underlying causes of pain and providing constructive outlets for energy, rather than solely focusing on socioeconomic status.

Pursuing a Worthy Goal & Releasing Pain Through Fantasy and Ambition

Ambition, when properly channeled, is valuable and stems from pain or unrest. The stronger the pain, the greater the motivation. Entities with fantasy-based goals may exhibit inadequacy, while those with reality-based goals are more confident. If self-esteem is lacking, goals can become unrealistic. The pursuit of exceptional goals can sometimes lead to great discoveries, but often remains a fantasy if self-confidence is insufficient.

Entities are encouraged to carefully consider whether a goal is worthy and if they possess the skills and resources to pursue it. Auxiliary goals may be necessary. The concept of "sinning against your goal" is introduced, meaning to miss the mark or deviate from the objective. This applies when an entity's actions do not lead to the goal.

Should Entities Join the Peace Corps Today?

Regarding the Peace Corps, Cosmic Awareness indicates that its original conception was to assist foreign countries in poverty conditions through new methods of industry and organization. While it has largely adhered to this, there have been instances of political influence for surveillance and information transfer. The work is important and requires courage due to increasing global hostilities, but this Awareness suggests that the path for the inquirer may involve activities within the United States, recommending checking out the VISTA program.

John F. Kennedy Still Alive and Hidden on Scorpios Isle?

Regarding the rumor that John F. Kennedy is still alive and hidden on the Onassis island Scorpios, Cosmic Awareness states this is essentially false. However, it acknowledges that there are aspects to this question that may have validity when observed in light of future information.

Henry Kissinger's Role

Concerning Henry Kissinger, Cosmic Awareness states that his actions and statements speak for themselves, and his allegiances to the Rockefellers and their activities, which have led away from Constitutional rights, are a matter of record.

The Onassis/Mafia Connection

This Awareness discusses the "Gemstone File," which allegedly shows links between the Kennedys and the Onassis family, involving smuggling, and a connection between Onassis, the Mafia, and the CIA. It suggests that Onassis was in charge of the Mafia and that the assassination of John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy was a result of their efforts to break apart these powers. The marriage of Onassis to Jackie Kennedy is described as a cultural insult and an act of Mafia behavior. This information is considered potentially dangerous if released and may be censored.

How Chihuahuas Can Cure Asthma

In response to a question about Chihuahua dogs curing asthma, Cosmic Awareness indicates that animals can absorb vibrations from their masters. The Chihuahua, being a high-strung animal, may have vibrations harmonic to asthma, potentially transmuting these energies and providing beneficial results, though not necessarily a complete cure.

Aura-Shaking Method for Asthma Relief

This Awareness describes the "Aura-Shaking Method" for asthma relief, which involves chopping and stroking the aura to break up patterns and smooth energies. This technique can have a quick and profound effect, potentially lasting for hours or days. It can also help reduce fevers, colds, strengthen vitality, stabilize emotions, and remove pressures causing headaches.

Karmic and Other Causes of Asthma

Asthma can be linked to past-life memories of circumstances where breathing was difficult, such as being in a place with the stench of death. In this life, certain substances or odors can trigger asthma attacks. It can also be a psychological effect from a present-life experience where an odor was distasteful, leading to an inability to breathe.

Aura-Chopping Can Help Relieve Many Physical Problems

The aura-chopping exercise can help reduce fevers, colds, strengthen vitality, stabilize emotions, and remove pressures. It can increase an individual's vitality and help them overcome illnesses. It is particularly beneficial for children who have experienced trauma or shock, or for anyone who is physically depleted.

Land of the Free

A brief mention of a woman fined and penalized for filing a "frivolous" tax return, highlighting the IRS's stance on tax returns.

Healing with the Pendulum

Regarding the use of a pendulum to trace and clear auras and thought-forms, Cosmic Awareness affirms this as a valid healing theory. It suggests that thought-forms can be removed by burning them or by using pink or blue light, while red light may strengthen them and draw in spirits.

Why Some Entities Are Orphans

Cosmic Awareness explains that entities become orphans for various karmic reasons, including past-life relationships or desertion. However, it emphasizes that often, being an orphan is an experience needed for growth, providing hardships and a sense of loneliness that motivates entities to take action and develop independently.

Was Richard Milhous Nixon Set Up to Die on the 007 Flight?

Cosmic Awareness states that the claim that Richard Nixon was scheduled to die on Korean Airlines flight 007 is not true and appears to be misinformation originating from Germany, possibly connected to the KGB.

More on the Precept: 'Resist Not Evil'

This section explores the concept of "Resist Not Evil" as a natural law. It suggests that understanding opposite points of view is necessary for balance and that judging ends discussion, while discerning opens it. Resisting an oppressive force only strengthens it; therefore, removing resistance allows the force to express itself and deplete, leading to a clearer resolution. The movie "Gandhi" is cited as an example of this principle.

Has "A Remarkable Medicine Been Overlooked?"

This section discusses Jack Dreyfus's claim that diphenylhdantoin (DPH), or dilantin, a drug for epilepsy, could be useful for a variety of other disorders, including depression and hypertension. Dreyfus argues that because the drug is old and off-patent, there is no financial incentive for pharmaceutical companies to promote its use for these other conditions.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the challenges and development of youth, the societal role in guiding them, and the prevention of negative behaviors like crime. There's a consistent emphasis on understanding underlying causes, whether psychological, karmic, or societal.
