Content Summary

Does Cosmic Awareness Dislike Homosexuals? (Does the Homosexual Really Have No Choice?)

The main section of the magazine addresses a letter from Eugene H. of Los Angeles, who feels that Cosmic Awareness disapproves of his homosexual lifestyle, which he states he had no choice in. Cosmic Awareness responds by stating it does not wish to make any individual feel rejected and reiterates the principle, "Thou Shalt Not Judge." It explains that while it does not judge, it does discern actions and their consequences. The Awareness indicates that many entities in this lifestyle are in transition between lives, possibly preparing for a change in sex in a future life. It emphasizes that each individual is both male and female, with varying degrees of polarization. Condemnation and judgment are attributed to personal fear and insecurity regarding differences.

The Awareness further clarifies that while an entity may feel they have no choice due to environmental influences, they always possess the ability to choose. This choice may be difficult and influenced by unconscious energies. If an entity believes fate controls their lives, they will experience a choiceless path. The Awareness also notes that holding hostility towards others for not approving of one's lifestyle is futile, as ramifications and potential rejection are part of choosing an unconventional path.

The Effect of Shock on the Genetic Code

This section discusses how entities change very slowly, except under conditions of shock. The genetic code influences an entity's life and can be altered through experiences that cause a shock to the system. During times of shock or stress, entities have a choice: to react negatively or to progress and grow. Surrendering to failure during shock can lead to a more self-destructive system. The importance of recognizing the power of choice during such times is emphasized.

Openness in the Age of Aquarius...

This section discusses the Aquarian Age and its energies, which are different from previous times. Sex, once considered solemn and secret, is now becoming more open and even sacred in this era. The lower aspects of the Aquarian Age focus on bizarrism, while the higher aspects encourage inventiveness and unusual ideas. This openness leads to a breakdown of traditional values, though the Awareness suggests a future reevaluation and balance may occur.

Bill Sheppard's Homosexual Experience in California

This part of the discussion focuses on Bill Sheppard, who previously held strong negative views on homosexuality but later became involved in it himself, experiencing a heart attack and cancer. He has channeled information about the "cosmic implications" of this lifestyle, suggesting it is a form of transmutation. He has also written about a book titled "The Divine Androgyne" which equates homosexuality with spiritual disciplines. The Awareness questions the accuracy of Sheppard's information and explains that the Aquarian Age brings a shift where unusual aspects can become the focus of discussion and even sacred.

Why Heterosex is So Important

This section explains the importance of heterosexual relationships for balancing masculine and feminine energies. When a male and female come together intimately, their energies mingle, enhancing each other's qualities. This leads to a more balanced and wholesome individual, where masculine and feminine energies are integrated.

Homosexual Energies are Not Balanced Energies

This part argues that homosexual relationships tend to enhance existing polarizations of masculinity or femininity, creating an imbalance. While this may be necessary for soul growth, entities will eventually need to experience relationships with their opposite poles to achieve balance. Entities with shallow sexual relationships often develop shallow value systems, seeking momentary gratification without stability or purpose.

Broken Loyalties Create Physical Reactions

This section links disease, particularly cancer, to broken loyalties and broken identifications. When entities break loyalty to their beliefs, values, or individuals, they may experience physical reactions. The case of Bill Sheppard is cited, suggesting his involvement in taboo areas and subsequent illness were related to breaking faith with himself and his previous value systems.

The Harmonics of Light

This section discusses the concept of "Harmonics of Light," equating Light with consciousness and healing energy. The Awareness sends healing energy to Bill Sheppard, suggesting that understanding the nature of values and identifications can lead to healing and transformation.

A Science of Values is Needed

This closing message suggests the need for a science that objectively studies values and meanings in life, based on the needs of individuals and society, encompassing biological, social, physical, emotional, mental, environmental, and spiritual aspects.

Do Mermaids Really Exist?

In response to a question about "mermaids" or "Ri" people in New Guinea, Cosmic Awareness affirms their existence as sea creatures with human-like torsos. These beings are described as highly evolved and associated with the pre-Atlantean and early Lemurian periods, distinct from the common legendary depiction of a human torso with a fish body.

Are Violators of Others Kept in Astral Bondage After Death?

This section addresses the concept that individuals who commit grave crimes, like homicide, may remain in lower astral levels until their victims forgive them. Cosmic Awareness clarifies that it's not about forgiveness but about the victim overcoming the effect of the violation. When the victim releases these energies, both are freed from karmic ties and obligations.

The Importance of Burning Candles in Your Home & Elsewhere

This section discusses the effect of fire, particularly from candles, on consciousness. Fire energies draw forth negativities, which are then transformed into a more pure nature. The presence of thought-forms, emanating from entities with dark moods, can create a depressing atmosphere in a room.

Bathhouse Effort Renewed

A news report from San Francisco details efforts by city officials to close gay bathhouses to combat the spread of AIDS. Mayor Dianne Feinstein is quoted as believing closure would serve public health. The report mentions that some bathhouses are violating injunctions against "high-risk" sex and that male homosexuals are identified as a high-risk group for AIDS transmission.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of choice, judgment, and karma, particularly in relation to sexuality and unconventional lifestyles. Cosmic Awareness consistently emphasizes self-discernment, the interconnectedness of actions and consequences, and the potential for spiritual growth through understanding and acceptance. The publication's stance is one of non-judgmental guidance, encouraging individuals to explore their own truths and spiritual paths. There's a clear focus on the transition into the "New Age" and the evolving understanding of human sexuality and spirituality within this context. The editorial stance promotes a holistic view of existence, where physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being are intertwined.

Title: Cosmic Awareness
Issue: Vol. 12, No. 11
Date: January 1987
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Price: $3.00

This issue of Cosmic Awareness explores profound questions about the nature of the soul, consciousness, and energetic phenomena, offering insights from 'Cosmic Awareness' itself.

Can the Weight of a Soul Be Detected Upon Death?

The issue begins by addressing a question from D.A. regarding scientific evidence that the human soul weighs approximately one ounce. It references a 1907 experiment by a doctor who placed dying patients on a sensitive beam scale. At the moment of death, the scale reportedly showed a weight loss of about 3/4 ounce. This experiment was repeated over several years with similar results, though the weight loss varied between 3/8 and 1-1/2 ounces. The doctor also experimented on 15 dogs, finding no weight loss in any of them. The doctor died in 1920, and the experiment was not continued. The article notes that while this was publicized, it was not widely pursued.

Cosmic Awareness comments on the validity of these findings, stating that the soul, being the magnetic center of the physical body, possesses magnetic qualities that draw subtle energies. The soul is described as having a 'shadow body' containing the etheric parts of the physical body. Minerals in the body, infused with the soul's energy, create a vitality that forms a 'shadow-substance' or aura around them. When the soul departs, it takes this aura with it, which is believed to be the cause of the weight loss. The article suggests that these experiments may have been duplicated by other researchers but not highly publicized.

A follow-up question addresses why no weight loss was observed in animals. Cosmic Awareness explains that animals do not possess the same strong magnetic center as humans and are more identified with spirit than soul. While they have rudimentary electromagnetic energies that form the beginning of a soul, it is at a much weaker level. The article posits that with greater precision, a slight alteration in animal weight might be detected, but it would not be as significant or dramatic as in humans.

Thought-Forms and Purification

The magazine then delves into the concept of 'thought-forms,' described as dark, negative, or extra-serious thoughts that leave traces of energy in a room. Worry is highlighted as a form of action that creates heavy thought-forms and energies, which can create a heavy atmosphere. Entities may recognize these vibrations in various places as the result of thought-forms emanating from thoughts. As an entity thinks, the energies behind those thoughts, whether joyful or heavy, spill out and cling to one's aura.

To rid oneself of these thought-forms, several approaches are suggested: taking a shower, going for a walk to allow them to drop off, or becoming in contact with nature (trees and plants), as thought-forms are magnetically drawn to them. This is why people feel refreshed in nature, as their thought-forms are being removed.

However, the article warns that emanated thought-forms tend to recycle and repeat themselves. Therefore, entities are advised to think thoughts, then cleanse their aura, and cease thinking those specific thoughts.

Fire and burning, such as in a fireplace, burning trash, or lighting candles, are presented as actions that draw these thought-forms into the fire, purging them and creating clarity. This is likened to a light drawing moths. This process transmutes the thought-form energies and magnetisms into higher radiant energy, lightening vibrations. For those engaged in intense mental work, such as studying for exams or doing taxes, a burning candle is recommended to collect heavy thought-form energies, keeping the atmosphere light and allowing the mind to focus without being bogged down.

The Real Reason Entities Smoke

This section posits that the attraction to smoking lies in the subconscious realization of fire's purifying effect on negative energies. Subconsciously, entities associate fire with purification and burning away negative energies. The act of lighting a match is seen as the primary intrigue, with the subsequent smoking habit being conditioned. The cigarette provides an excuse for entities to satisfy their desire to have a fire nearby.

The Evil Nicotine Thought-Form

The article then discusses the effect of nicotine, which creates a different problem and a thought-form of its own surrounding the entity's aura. While the flame of a cigarette burns up certain thought-forms, it is also creating a greater, more parasitical thought-form. It is suggested that entities would benefit more from simply lighting a candle and meditating for five minutes, allowing negative thought-forms to rush into the candle-flame. The nicotine effect is described as dulling sensitivities, allowing entities to tolerate certain thought-form energies without becoming nervous.

An editor's note directs readers to 'Revelations of Awareness' No. 80-10 for more information. It also lists two books available from CAC: "Spiritual Cleansing, a Handbook of Psychic Protection" by Draja Mickaharic, and "Practical Candleburning Rituals" by Raymond Buckland.

The Law of Projection

This section introduces the 'Law of Projection,' which states that the film that projects, depicts, and creates the events of one's life story is stored within one's consciousness and can only be changed from within. Intimate conversations, attitudes, and relationships within one's consciousness are reflected in experiences on the outer screen of life; one is both the camera and the projector of their life story.

The article advises that those who wish for a world premiere of new and joyous experiences, rather than reruns of trash films, soap operas, tragedies, illness, and hostilities, must refuse to allow such concepts or images to enter their consciousness. Conversely, those who seek out and enjoy such material will fill their cameras with it, which may eventually become part of their outward life.

It is recommended that individuals allow only the highest, clearest, and best thoughts, ideas, words, experiences, and images to enter their 'studio' (consciousness) to create and project films that show a life of joy and art.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of consciousness, the soul, and energetic influences. There's a strong emphasis on the power of thoughts and their tangible effects, both on the individual's aura and their external reality. The magazine promotes self-awareness and proactive engagement with one's inner world as a means of shaping one's life. The editorial stance appears to be one of encouraging spiritual growth, psychic protection, and a conscious effort to cultivate positive thoughts and experiences, while offering practical methods like meditation and the use of fire for purification. The publication also seems to advocate for a non-violent, non-conformist perspective, as indicated by the question "Why should you?" following the statement about not supporting the war machine.
