This issue of Revelations of Awareness, a New-Age Cosmic Newsletter, delves into a variety of spiritual, psychological, and societal topics, primarily through the channeled messages of 'Cosmic Awareness.' The cover features a striking illustration and the provocative question, 'What is Lust?' The newsletter explores the nuances of lust, sexual feelings, spiritual development, government secrecy, and the nature of reality.

What is Lust?

The central theme of this issue is the exploration of 'lust.' Cosmic Awareness distinguishes between normal sexual desire, which is considered acceptable and even necessary within healthy relationships, and lust, which is defined as an obsessive appetite for a particular goal or conquest, often driven by self-gratification, greed, or the desire for power over others. This obsessive quality, regardless of whether it is directed towards sex, money, power, or glory, is deemed unacceptable. The concept of 'need' versus 'lust' is also examined, highlighting that while a strong drive to fulfill a necessity might resemble lust, it is fundamentally different from an all-consuming fixation.

The newsletter clarifies that the 'lower self' refers to overindulgence in passionate or animalistic aspects without regard for higher spiritual development. It suggests that true healing of others comes from conquering one's own lower passions and focusing on the welfare and feelings of others, stemming from higher spiritual centers.

Sexual Feelings and Relationships

The issue addresses the question of acceptable sexual feelings from a cosmic viewpoint. It posits that sexual energy, when channeled constructively and with responsibility, can contribute to spiritual growth and deepen understanding. The importance of clear, honest relationships is emphasized, warning against those that are secondary to sexual impulses or inhibitions, as these can lead to difficulties. The concept of 'getting horny' is discussed, with Awareness indicating it's a magnetic attraction and polarization, not necessarily lust itself, but a preliminary state.

UFOs and Government Secrecy

A significant portion of the newsletter is dedicated to UFO phenomena and government activities. One question explores a report of a downed UFO in Russia, allegedly captured by Russian military forces. Cosmic Awareness suggests this was a 'Cosmosphere' and had some psychological impact on the military but was not the primary reason for the shooting down of Korean Air Lines Flight 007. The airliner's downing is attributed to fears of spying on secret military operations in the area, including submarine bases and Tesla-type devices.

Another section addresses the mysterious government department 'HUMBRO,' which was involved in exposing servicemen to radiation during atomic test blasts. While the specific agency may not exist under that name, Awareness confirms that similar specialized organizations for testing nuclear energies and radiations have existed within the government, and their records are available.

Spiritual Concepts and Personal Growth

The newsletter also touches upon deeper spiritual concepts. The idea of 'Oversouls' and 'karmic families' is discussed, drawing parallels to concepts in Kahuna philosophy and the works of Kurt Vonnegut. It explains that entities may be part of a larger group soul or spiritual family, linked by destiny and often drawn together across lifetimes, even through conflict, until resolution is achieved.

Health and Well-being

Practical advice is offered for health concerns, including a new treatment for hiatal hernia involving physical manipulation, with a specific mention of Mija Katalps as a practitioner. The effectiveness of hot castor oil packs is also discussed as being beneficial for mild cases.

Economic and Societal Changes

Concerns about high unemployment despite defense contracts are examined. Awareness suggests that companies like Boeing may be shifting towards robotic machinery and being highly selective in hiring, with some funds potentially being used for ultra-secret programs. The question of robots taking over jobs and its impact on the economy is raised, with Awareness suggesting that while theoretically possible for governments to distribute wealth, the current trend appears to be driven by corporate interests aiming to create class divisions.

Pain and Suffering

The newsletter addresses the topic of physical pain, particularly in relation to injury and the concept of 'karma.' It suggests that pain can be a 'Path of Suffering' for soul growth, and while conventional methods like chiropractic care may offer temporary relief, the underlying causes might be karmic. The use of magnets is also mentioned as a suggested remedy.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

Throughout the issue, Cosmic Awareness emphasizes self-awareness, personal responsibility, and the importance of understanding energies rather than just words. The newsletter encourages questioning, exploration, and personal discovery, urging readers not to blindly believe but to find their own truth. There is a consistent theme of spiritual evolution, the interconnectedness of all things (Law of One), and the idea that external rules and taboos become less significant as one develops inner wisdom and understanding. The editorial stance appears to be one of providing insights and guidance from a higher spiritual perspective, encouraging individuals to navigate life's challenges with greater awareness and consciousness.

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" (Issue 11) explores a range of topics, from the profound implications of new computer chip technology to practical advice on physical healing and commentary on current events. The publication, from Cosmic Awareness Communications, delves into spiritual, technological, and societal themes, offering insights and guidance from 'This Awareness.'

Bio-Chips and the Fourth Dimension

The issue opens with a question from J.C. in South Dakota regarding a "bio-chip" described in OMNI magazine. This chip, a micro-computer made of protein with embryonic nerve-cells, is designed to create a 'living inter-face' with the human brain. James McClear of EMV Associates suggests that computer and human intelligence can complement each other, creating a 'marriage made in heaven.' The possibility is raised that an individual so equipped could live in the computer part, and their implant might survive even if the corpus vanishes, potentially being transmitted to a new host. John Werung, EVN's co-founder, posits that this could lead to a superior, omnipotent being and a potential for limitless intellectual development, suggesting that humanity might be at the beginning of life, not its crowning glory.

'This Awareness' indicates that these concepts are far-reaching and significant, capable of creating a society beneficial to its inhabitants or, if misapplied, a situation similar to 'Tyrantor.' In Tyrantor, a computer controlled the masses, leading to harmony, but a rebellion altered the computer, changing consciousness and creating the 'birth-place of the Alien Force.' The new field of bio-microchips is seen as reawakening potentials for further studies, explorations, and exploitations, but it will also create new ethical and social problems. Properly used, these technologies could lead entities out of the time-space continuum and into the fourth dimension, associated with the Elohim and the movement into infinity and timeless immortality.

However, 'This Awareness' cautions that any new discoveries or technologies can be used for good or ill, depending on the user's motive. An ED's Note directs readers to 'Revelations of Awareness', No. 79-25 for more information on Tyrantor and the Unholy Six.

The closing message describes a primitive jungle setting contrasted with present-day high technology. It highlights that while technology is capable of great wonders or destruction, the passions and minds of many have not developed at the same pace, leaving technology in the hands of those who operate from 'jungle passions.'

Physical Affliction and Healing

A letter from an individual expresses distress over persistent pain, questioning why it's difficult to overcome if they have chosen the 'Path of Suffering' and no longer wish for soul growth to continue on that path. The writer, a 27-year-old electrical engineer, feels unfulfilled in their profession and seeks a career change, possibly into writing, but struggles with physical limitations, particularly back pain when sitting.

'This Awareness' responds by indicating the affliction is physical, possibly caused by 'accidents.' It suggests both magical/alchemical and technical healing approaches. For the technical approach, a new technique involving papain injections (an enzyme from papaya) into the spine is recommended. For physical manipulation, it suggests a physical therapist, acupuncturist, osteopath, or chiropractor. Papain injections are deemed the quickest relief, though not a total cure. Chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture treatments are also beneficial for alleviating pain but not necessarily a complete cure. A series of acupuncture treatments combined with chiropractic adjustments over time is suggested as the next best approach.

'This Awareness' advises considering the papain shots first, assuming the primary goal is pain relief rather than using pain for psychic or alchemical discovery. It also suggests continuing to study pain and its needs, and to examine one's lifestyle, as involvement in competitive sports can flirt with injuries.

For a mystical approach, 'This Awareness' suggests exploring the psychological causes of the incident and blockages, referring to Scorpio lessons related to alchemy.
