This issue of Revelations of Awareness, subtitled 'The New-Age Cosmic Newsletter,' focuses on the concept of 'Cosmic Consciousness' and its experiential realization. The cover features a striking graphic and the headline 'IN SEARCH OF COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS.' The newsletter is published by Cosmic Awareness Communications and the Universal Church of Awareness.

The Search for "Cosmic Consciousness" (The Use and Misuse of the Experience)

The primary article addresses a question from D.R. in Gailsburg, Illinois, who seeks direct contact with Awareness and Cosmic Consciousness. Cosmic Awareness distinguishes between the mental realization of a concept and its experiential realization. It suggests that understanding the concept is sufficient, but for those who desire firsthand experience, they must actively engage with the 'sea of experience.' The entity emphasizes that self-effort and realization are key, and external explanations are insufficient. The article also touches upon the potential misuse of spiritual insights, such as commercializing them or seeking social prestige as a spiritual leader, rather than using the experience for personal growth and helping others.

It is noted that Wanderers, entities who have a memory of being with the Source, can become preoccupied with their own spiritual experience and forget their mission on Earth. The advice is to be a social leader guided by spirit, not to seek prestige.

Should One Have a Second Child?

This section addresses a question from D.F. in Security, Colorado, about the pressure to have a second child. Cosmic Awareness suggests that an only child may grow up more intelligent and mature, but potentially more self-centered. While two children might entertain each other, they can also be competitive. The key is to avoid fostering jealousy and to provide consistent attention to all children. The advice is to prepare for the added responsibility and to help the older child adjust positively to a new sibling.

Spacing Your Children

This section discusses the advantages and disadvantages of spacing children. Children near the same age may have more in common, but those with greater age differences might develop stronger characters due to facing unique challenges. However, significant age gaps can also lead to psychological problems if not managed well. The importance of individual awareness and responding to environmental factors is highlighted.

One Way to Open the Chakras

A question from W.L. in Sterling Heights, Michigan, asks for guidance on cleaning the four lower chakras for the Aquarian Age. Cosmic Awareness refers to Spiritual Development classes for opening the seven chakras as the most rapid method, with potential for tapes to be made available.

Editor's Note

The editor notes the current trend of 'channeling' and explains that the newsletter will present views from other channels as a contrast to regular Cosmic Awareness channelings. These channels have requested anonymity, and their contributions will be listed as 'QUESTION' and 'ANSWER.'

An Update on the Currency Call-In (November, 1986)

Regarding the possibility of a 10 to 1 currency call-in in 1986 or 1987, Cosmic Awareness states it has been put on hold due to economic upheaval. It predicts a period of prosperity mixed with poverty, upheaval, and discontent, with the mainstream remaining stable. Weather patterns are expected to be erratic. A significant change in currency is predicted in the next few years due to technological advances, making it non-duplicatable, but no drastic change is expected until a figure named 'Sixtus Six' takes the throne.

What is Behind the Tylenol Scare and Other Drug Tamperings?

Cosmic Awareness explains that the Tylenol tamperings were initially a mistake from within the company, but the public's fear created a strong emotional vibratory trend that influenced subsequent events. This trend theory is also applied to repeated airline crashes and widespread floods and fires.

How to Deal with Terrorism

In response to a question from R.B. in Phoenix, Arizona, about dealing with terrorism, Cosmic Awareness suggests group meditations and fostering inner peace as the most effective methods. It emphasizes that collective consciousness and positive vibrations can make it difficult for negative forces to manifest. While direct action might be necessary in some cases, it should be motivated by the Higher Self. The concept of inner peace for individuals and collective inner peace for protection is stressed.

Why the Stradivarius Violins Were So Unique and Unequalled

Answering a question from A.M. in Northridge, California, Cosmic Awareness attributes the uniqueness of Stradivarius violins to the wood density and resonance, the specific locations where the wood was gathered, and the family's highly attuned hearing and belief. This belief, it is suggested, endowed the violins with gifts beyond their inherent qualities.

Ramtha's Scary Prediction Regarding the West Coast (November, 1986)

Regarding a prediction by Ramtha about the West Coast being a suicide risk, Cosmic Awareness states that while there will be dryness, scarcity of food, and potential for wars and desolations, the key is to find inner peace. It emphasizes that the future is not fixed and can be altered by collective consciousness. The editor's note adds that while Ramtha's predictions may reflect the energies at the time, collective consciousness and a 'World Instant of Cooperation' could avert such calamities. The editor expresses no intention of leaving the area based on these predictions.

Has Mankind Changed for the Worse? Can Prophecy Be Changed in Time?

Responding to K.W. in Ohio, Cosmic Awareness states that while mankind's attitudes have changed, it is not yet at its worst. It warns of a potential future where human life has no value, similar to Sodom and Gomorrah. However, it also states that prophecy is conditional and can be altered if consciousness shifts towards understanding and change. Prayer is encouraged to influence this shift.

What Would Happen if America Unilaterally Disarmed Itself?

A question from J.H. in Blanding, Utah, explores the idea of unilateral disarmament. Cosmic Awareness posits that the problem of warring stems from a lack of belief. It suggests that if North America declared trust in God and disarmed, it could reverse the current chain reaction. Belief is presented as the source of protection, and doubt negates it.

A Mother Laments for Her 'Lost' Daughter

A question from A.B. in New Jersey describes a mother's distress over her daughter's involvement with a drug-addicted man. Cosmic Awareness advises the mother not to try to change her daughter directly but to offer understanding and gentleness. It explains that rebellion is a natural state for those seeking inner peace and that the daughter is on a learning experience, with a destiny to be a leader and fighter.

How Cultist Gurus Use Mind Control (The Meaning of Sabbath, Days of the Week)

Addressing a question from S.W. in Manchester, Great Britain, about religious covenants, Cosmic Awareness explains the original dual purpose of the Sabbath: rest and a reminder of the Creator. It also touches upon the symbolic meaning of the seven days of the week and how religious rules can be used to control minds within cults.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual growth, self-awareness, and the nature of consciousness. Cosmic Awareness emphasizes the importance of direct experience over mere intellectual understanding, the power of collective consciousness in shaping reality, and the necessity of inner peace. The editorial stance, as indicated by the editor's notes, is one of encouraging critical thinking, personal responsibility, and the belief that the future is not predetermined but can be influenced by human consciousness and positive action. There is a consistent message of hope and empowerment, urging readers to seek inner peace and to contribute to a positive shift in global consciousness.

This issue of Revelations of Awareness, identified as issue number 11, focuses on themes of consciousness, control, and spiritual connection. The cover prominently features the 'Love Chain' initiative, suggesting a focus on global peace and unity. The publication is from Cosmic Awareness Communications, based in Olympia, Washington.

The Nature of Consciousness and Control

The lead article explores the concept of consciousness through an analogy of a master psychologist experimenting with entities. The psychologist sets rules, imposes punishments for disobedience, and conditions the entities to follow specific teachings. This scenario is used to illustrate how certain teachings, presented as being for humanity's good, may actually serve to keep humanity from progressing and maintain control. The article suggests that keeping masses in ignorance and imposing rules based on religious principles without clear logical explanation can be effective for 'herding' followers. It draws a parallel to a dog trainer conditioning a dog, leading to the possibility of masses becoming 'conditioned robots' serving the programmer's whim. The author clarifies that this is an observation about the nature of consciousness and not a condemnation of religion.

Love Chain Initiative

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the 'Love Chain' initiative. It encourages readers to join by dedicating 15 minutes each Sunday at noon to relax, open their hearts to the universal Force of Love, and unite their souls with others. The goal is to create a worldwide Love Chain, synthesizing humanity's love to guide towards an 'New Age of Peace, Brotherhood and Light.' This initiative is organized by the Positive Thinking Planetary Network.

Mysteries and Investigations

An inquiry is posed regarding the mysterious sinking of four crab boats in the Bering Straits area off Dutch Harbor, Alaska. The question asks if there is another Bermuda Triangle in the Pacific. The 'Cosmic Awareness' response indicates that the energies are not sufficient to answer at that time, but notes that Awareness has previously indicated the existence of other Bermuda-type triangles, though details were classified. An editor's note confirms that the question was never revisited, and the mystery remains unsolved.

The Law of Eternal Unfulfillment

This section explains the 'Law of Eternal Unfulfillment,' stating that no moment can be fully complete or fulfilled, as this would prevent subsequent moments from existing. Each moment contains essential elements but also an inherent emptiness or unfulfillment necessary for progression. Accepting this law is presented as a way to cease the 'greed-creating obsession to be fulfilled.'
