Revelations of Awareness

Magazine Overview

Title: Revelations of Awareness
Issue: NO. 306
Volume: 87-1
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Date: (Implied 1987)

This issue of Revelations of Awareness, published by Cosmic Awareness Communications, focuses on theological and spiritual concepts, particularly the origin and nature of the devil, Jesus's life and teachings, and the comparative aspects of world religions. The cover features an illustration of 'The Temptation of Jesus' with a quote from Luke 4:5.

The Devil and the Temptation of Jesus

The lead article, "DID THE DEVIL ORIGINATE AT THE TIME OF JESUS? (HOW THE PASSION PLAY AND RELIGION RULED THE PEOPLE FOR AGES)" addresses a question about the origin of the devil concept. Cosmic Awareness explains that the term 'Lucifer' relates to the Babylonian god meaning 'light,' while 'devil' originates from the Hindu 'devas' (spiritual beings or gods). The concept of a personified devil, as commonly understood today, did not fully emerge until the Medieval period, influenced by figures like the Greek Pan and the symbolism of the goat. The article posits that the idea of a devil is largely a creation of the human mind, with entities sometimes identifying with negative forces and even practicing devil worship. Energy, it is explained, follows thought, and the worship of the devil can create an energy field for such beings to manifest.

Jesus's Studies and Mission

Another section, "FOR WHAT REASON DID JESUS STUDY IN THE MYSTERY SCHOOLS?", explores the purpose of Jesus's studies. It suggests that his destiny, influenced by his birth and the expectations placed upon him, compelled him to perform a specific function. His search for truth and his desire to deliver a message beneficial to the masses led him to study in secret schools in Egypt, India, Tibet, and Persia. The article notes that John the Baptist was also an initiate. The text also touches upon Jesus's awareness of his mission after birth, stating that while his mission was understood subconsciously, he needed to consciously reacquaint himself with basic rules and information.

Comparative Religion and the Golden Rule

The issue includes a section on "The Golden Rule in 9 Different Religions," presenting variations of the principle across Confucianism, Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Classical Paganism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Sikhism. This highlights a common thread of ethical conduct across diverse spiritual traditions.

Other Topics and Questions

Several other questions and answers are featured:

• How do we know Awareness is not an Alien Force? This question is answered by stating that there are only two ways of life: good and evil, truth and error, love and hate. True understanding comes only through Divine Revelation, not by accepting another's word.
• Why can't all members of CAC receive messages for free? The explanation is that spiritual knowledge, like any valuable commodity, requires resources for its manifestation and dissemination. Teachers and channels need to sustain themselves physically, and payment is necessary for their services.
• "Except Blood Be Shed There is No Remission" -- What does that mean? This biblical phrase is explained as a reference to Old Testament sacrificial symbology. The current understanding emphasizes remission through belief and purity of heart and soul, not through literal sacrifice.
• Will a "C" Section Birth Interfere with One's Horoscope? The answer clarifies that a C-section does not alter the predestined astrological plan. The moment of the first breath is used for the natal chart, and astrological charts can be adjusted to compensate for celestial movements.
• King Arthur and Camelot -- Did They Really Exist? Cosmic Awareness suggests the legend is based loosely on events from the ninth century, embellished into an allegory. While some characters may have existed, their portrayal in the legend is fictionalized and dramatized for storytelling purposes.
• A Birthmark on the Face... What Can Be Done About It? This is attributed to karmic reflection from a previous lifetime, possibly an injury. Remedies suggested include aloe vera, vitamin E, castor oil, and olive oil mixtures. The advice is to not make the mark overly significant, but to focus on other qualities.
• What Makes Whales and Dolphins Strand? This phenomenon is linked to a 'death wish,' loneliness, or a desire for a different experience. The article suggests that providing stimulation, affection, and possibly using electronic or brain stimulation technologies could help alleviate these issues.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of good and evil, the origins of religious concepts, the importance of personal spiritual exploration, and the practical application of spiritual principles in daily life. Cosmic Awareness Communications emphasizes questioning, exploring, and discovering truth for oneself, rather than blind adherence to dogma. The publication encourages members to send in questions for possible publication, fostering a community dialogue around spiritual and esoteric topics. The editorial stance appears to be one of promoting spiritual awareness, critical thinking, and a broader understanding of diverse belief systems, advocating for tolerance and a new, inclusive religion.

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" (Issue 11) delves into several profound topics, including potential legal challenges to the Federal Reserve, the critical state of the world's oceans, and the spiritual significance of musicians. The publication, from Cosmic Awareness Communications, aims to provide insights and guidance on these matters through channeled 'Awareness' messages.

Suing the Federal Reserve -- Will It Ever Happen?

This section addresses the passage of Senate Concurrent Resolution 127 in the Washington State legislature, which calls for a lawsuit in the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge the constitutionality of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and its power to create money. It also calls for an audit of the Federal Reserve. The resolution is awaiting the signature of the Attorney General of Washington State.

'Cosmic Awareness' suggests that this action could lead to a very profound and in-depth examination of the Federal Reserve Bank's activities, potentially having a significant impact on the foundations of the U.S. economy. However, it warns that forces will attempt to prevent this action from being fully carried through, possibly causing it to drag on without immediate apparent effect. The message also hints at alternative plans to phase out the Federal Reserve, but emphasizes that growing public awareness of economic manipulation is becoming a major force. The 'Awareness' states that manipulative forces can only act in secrecy, and this lawsuit is seen as a step towards freeing the public from such manipulations.

An "ED's Note" appended to this section, written four years after the 'Awareness' reading, states that immense pressure was exerted by "money manipulators" and that "nothing has come of any investigation or any law suit against this bastion of Zionism."

What Is the State of the Ocean Today?

This section, with a forthcoming issue titled "The Environmental World Cleanup," addresses the condition of the oceans. 'Cosmic Awareness' indicates that there is significant pollution in many ocean areas, particularly near Asia and the United States, as well as in the Atlantic near Europe. This pollution creates major problems for marine life and those that feed on it, potentially leading to a disturbing effect on the planet.

The contamination includes poisonous minerals, radioactivity, mercury, and other hazardous chemicals, affecting both marine life and humans who consume contaminated fish. 'Awareness' suggests that this will require a major project by all governments within approximately 20 years, or by the year 2020, to prevent the seas from becoming critically dead. The message implies that this environmental cleanup will only occur after threats of nuclear war have ceased and disarmament programs have begun, as these are seen as the greater priority.

Are Any Great Musicians Incarnated in the World Today?

This question, posed by an individual from Northridge, California, asks if there is a grouping of highly talented musicians incarnating in the present time, similar to historical patterns.

'Cosmic Awareness' confirms that an incarnation of highly talented musical people began approximately five years prior and will continue for the next twenty years. However, it notes two differences from the past: the world's interconnectedness via electronic mass-communication means physical proximity is less necessary, and these individuals are choosing to come into the world scattered. Their purpose is to awaken spirits globally through their music, serving not only as musicians but also as spiritual leaders. The music is described as the mover of the soul and spirit.

ED's Note: Information on Whales

• This note provides references to previous issues of "Revelations of Awareness" that discuss whales:
• Issue No. 78-39: "Can the Whale be Saved?" ($3.00)
• Issue No. 79-22: "Why do Whales Beach Themselves and Die?" ($3.00)
• Issue No. 85-3: "If All Elephants & Whales Die off, How Would this Affect Consciousness?" ($3.00 from CAC).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes a spiritual and awareness-focused perspective, often channeling messages attributed to 'Cosmic Awareness.' Key themes include the interconnectedness of global systems (economic, environmental, spiritual), the potential for profound societal transformation, and the importance of individual and collective consciousness. The editorial stance appears to be one of warning about impending crises (environmental, economic) while offering a hopeful outlook for transformation, contingent on shifts in human consciousness and priorities, such as disarmament and environmental care. The publication also explores esoteric concepts like reincarnation and the spiritual roles of individuals.
