Magazine Overview
This issue of 'Revelations of Awareness,' The New-Age Cosmic Newsletter, Issue No. 293, dated 86--7 (likely 1979 based on context), published by Cosmic Awareness Communications in Olympia, Washington, USA, addresses various spiritual and practical topics. The cover prominently features the headline "How to deal with anger" accompanied by an illustration of a formal dinner party.
Anger Management and Psychic Energy
The central theme revolves around understanding and managing anger. Cosmic Awareness explains that anger is a form of psychic energy that can deplete one's 'cosmic bank account.' Holding onto anger is presented as more costly than expressing it, even if that expression is intense. The newsletter advises against suppressing anger, suggesting that it's better to express it or deal with the situation calmly and communicatively. It likens intense emotional expression to using a 'laser gun,' emphasizing the need to use the least amount of force necessary to protect oneself or one's interests.
Insidious Habits and Humor
The concept of 'insidious habits' is explored, such as nagging or leaving socks on the table. It's suggested that these can be addressed by creating a significant emotional experience or using humor to highlight the absurdity of the situation. Humor is presented as a powerful tool to defuse anger, but caution is advised against using it to mock or belittle an angry individual, as this can exacerbate the situation.
The 'Nice Person' Syndrome
This section discusses the 'nice person' syndrome, where excessive giving-in can lead to abuse and resentment. It suggests that while it's important to be considerate, one should not be a constant victim. The advice is to either help the entity address their hostilities or to walk away from the situation if it becomes destructive.
UFOs and Cattle Mutilations
The issue delves into the phenomenon of cattle mutilations, which began in the mid-1970s across 22 states in the USA. Cosmic Awareness attributes these events to extraterrestrial entities (UFOs) who are technologically advanced but less spiritually evolved. These entities are said to use the organs for medicinal purposes, chemical creation, and food. The newsletter suggests that while these contacts may present challenges, they are not necessarily more difficult than inter-nation conflicts, and more information will be revealed in the coming decade. It also clarifies that these entities are not 'elementals' but rather scientifically trained beings.
Guidance and Consciousness
A significant portion of the magazine addresses the question of internal versus external guidance. Cosmic Awareness emphasizes the importance of balancing both. Relying solely on inner guidance might limit one's ability to access external wisdom, while depending entirely on external sources can lead to being easily influenced, like a ship without a rudder. The newsletter suggests that entities can learn from others and that a combination of inner intuition and external information is most effective for personal development.
Spirit Communication and Dreams
The nature of dreams and spirit communication is explored. It is suggested that when a departed entity appears in a dream, it is possible to be making actual telepathic contact, even if the physical body is no longer present. The concept of the 'final reckoning' is discussed, distinguishing the physical body from the spirit. The newsletter advises that while spirit communication is possible, it's not advocated as a primary practice, as it can create unhealthy attachments and hinder the spirit's progression.
Other Topics
Timothy Leary's 'Death Pill'
Timothy Leary's prediction of a 'death pill' that simulates death without killing the body is discussed as a possibility achievable through advanced electronic techniques. This is linked to the concept of 'serial reincarnation,' allowing entities to experience life in the same body for extended periods.
Alpha State
Experiencing a negative image during meditation or trance is explained as shifting into alpha wave lengths, which can enhance energy levels for the trance and stimulate beneficial psychic energies.
Pyramid Schemes
The ethics of pyramid schemes and lotteries are examined. While often illegal, the newsletter suggests that if participants are fully informed of the risks and willingly participate, it can be considered a game of chance. However, it warns that many such schemes are scams where those at the bottom are likely to lose their investments.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue include the nature of consciousness, the management of emotions (particularly anger), the exploration of extraterrestrial phenomena, and the importance of balanced guidance. The editorial stance, as presented by Cosmic Awareness, is to encourage self-inquiry, critical thinking, and the seeking of wisdom from various sources while maintaining a focus on urgent life matters. The publication emphasizes that information is for those who desire to help bring in a 'New Age' of spiritual consciousness and awareness, encouraging readers to question, explore, and discover truth for themselves.
