This issue of Revelations of Awareness, a New-Age Cosmic Newsletter, delves into various topics centered around consciousness, health, and spiritual development. The cover prominently features the theme of "SLEEP: HOW TO GET IT TOGETHER," suggesting a focus on understanding and optimizing sleep patterns.

Sleep and Health

The newsletter addresses a question from W.E. of St. Paul, Minnesota, regarding healthy sleeping habits and the possibility of reducing sleep duration. Cosmic Awareness explains that while some entities may need less sleep, individual needs vary. Short naps can supplement rest, and certain metabolic issues or toxins might necessitate more sleep. The concept of resetting one's biological clock is introduced as a method to adjust sleep schedules, suggesting a gradual forward shift in wake-up and sleep times.

A follow-up question probes whether 5 hours of sleep is sufficient. Cosmic Awareness clarifies that while 5 hours can be enough for healthy individuals, it's not a universal rule, and factors like age, health, stress, and toxins play a role. The importance of feeling rested and functioning well is emphasized over adhering to a specific number of hours.

The issue also explores the "Fight or Flight" syndrome and the effects of adrenaline. It posits that physical activity is the greatest therapy for mental and emotional stress, as it helps release adrenaline, which can otherwise be destructive if not expressed. The newsletter advises against yielding to the temptation to sleep when under stress, as it doesn't solve underlying issues.

Another section discusses "Night People" and "Day People," suggesting that these tendencies are primarily determined by one's biological clock and personal preference, rather than solely by astrological signs. The influence of ultraviolet and infrared energies is mentioned, with the mind being more conducive to creative thinking in the absence of these energies at night.

Addiction to Rest and Stress

The newsletter addresses the question of whether one can become addicted to too much rest. Cosmic Awareness suggests that an excessive need for sleep might stem from toxins in the system, metabolic problems, or stress, leading to a feeling of being tired. The advice given is to take action, such as engaging in physical activity, to reduce stress rather than succumbing to the urge to sleep.

UFOs, Aliens, and Government Influence

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to UFOs and aliens. A question is raised about the TV movie "V" and whether it subtly promotes distrust of aliens. Cosmic Awareness states that while the movie was likely made for commercial value, it does express the view that aliens may not always be benevolent. It suggests that the movie serves to balance naive concepts about UFOs, similar to "Close Encounters" and "E.T."

Furthermore, the newsletter addresses whether world leaders are aware of and influenced by aliens. Cosmic Awareness confirms that alien forces do influence leaders, operating secretly and coordinating activities across countries, including the US and Russia, to prepare the planet for a "final cleansing" and entry into the "Cosmic Federation." These forces are described as sinister and powerful, sometimes acting as "wrathful deities" that drive entities toward the Light.

Karmic Issues and Health

The magazine explores the karmic nature of alcoholism, linking it to genetic qualities and chemicals in the body. It suggests that a pill to alter these genetic malfunctions might be available in the future. The causes of alcoholism are attributed to psychological factors, escapism, and a desire for oral sublimation, often stemming from early life experiences and a need for security.

It is explained that the susceptibility to alcoholism and other conditions like diabetes can be passed down through generations via genes, influenced by parental attitudes and environmental factors. Astrological influences are also mentioned as reflecting, rather than causing, these patterns.

Wearing Gold and Silver

The positive and negative effects of wearing gold and silver are discussed. Silver is noted for its protective properties, strengthening the aura and sense of well-being. Gold, however, tends to magnify existing moods, so it is advised to wear gold when feeling positive and avoid it when in a negative mood, as it can enhance negative feelings.

The New Age and Chia Seeds

The arrival of the "New Age" is described not as a sudden event but as a gradual dawning, like a slow sunrise, bringing clarity and wiping away darkness. Karma is seen as being taken away slowly as entities awaken to the light.

Finally, the newsletter features an article on chia seeds, a high-energy food. A question is posed about what gives chia its energy-imparting properties, with speculation about stimulants or enzymes. Cosmic Awareness is asked to comment on the potential use of chia seeds as a safe alternative to caffeine and other stimulants.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of Revelations of Awareness consistently emphasizes the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The editorial stance, as channeled through Cosmic Awareness, encourages self-inquiry, questioning, and personal discovery rather than blind belief. There is a recurring theme of understanding and managing internal energies (like adrenaline and stress) and external influences (like cosmic energies and potentially alien forces) to foster personal growth and spiritual evolution. The newsletter aims to provide information that helps entities navigate their path toward greater awareness and understanding, often by addressing common human concerns and offering guidance from a spiritual perspective.

Title: REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS
Issue: 11
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Country: USA
Language: English

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" is a cosmic newsletter that explores spiritual and self-help topics through channeled messages from "Cosmic Awareness." It features articles on the benefits of chia seeds, guidance on how to achieve a sense of centeredness in life, and a specific meditation technique.

Chia Seeds: A Natural Energy Booster

The first section addresses the properties and benefits of chia seeds. Cosmic Awareness explains that the enzyme within chia seeds, when mixed with saliva and stomach juices, breaks down proteins into an assimilable degree, allowing them to enter the bloodstream and the etheric body. It is suggested that simply carrying chia seeds can be effective in strengthening one's aura. Historically, natives on the West Coast used chia as a staple food, enabling them to run long distances. The text distinguishes between the black chia seeds commonly found in markets, which are considered of inferior quality, and a golden-colored chia seed used in earlier times.

In response to a question about whether chia would be a good substitute for caffeine, Cosmic Awareness affirms this, noting that chia contains a small amount of caffeine. When used as a tea, it is considered high-ranking, though its effectiveness depends on individual taste and metabolism. The substance is also described as having many benefits, providing a greater energy boost without the harmful long-term effects of caffeine drinks. Chia can be consumed in various ways, including as a tea, a food, in cooking, breads, pastries, or sprinkled on other foods. The newsletter notes that chia seeds are harmless to the system and encourages entities to try them for themselves. An "ED's Note" indicates that chia seeds are available in health food stores, co-ops, and through mail order catalogs.

How to Get Centered in Your Life

The second major section addresses a question from a reader in Cottage Grove, Oregon, who, despite practicing Transcendental Meditation, yoga, and Cosmic Awareness meditations, feels a lack of centeredness and has been taking little action due to feeling overwhelmed by global urgencies.

Cosmic Awareness advises the reader to first focus on the urgencies within their own closest environment. If there is an internal urgency to become centered, the individual should then meditate to determine what is most urgent within their own being and what they wish to do. This involves looking deeply to determine one's purpose in life. Once a broad, general purpose is identified, it can be made more specific. For example, an entity might decide they wish to be of service to others, then narrow it down to service in healing, or service to science, or a specific branch of science. Alternatively, an entity might choose to be left alone to live alone, and then must determine how to utilize that time.

The guidance continues by suggesting that individuals should first look within at their own general centering needs. Then, they should consider the urgencies of the world closest to them. If these demand a response, they should respond accordingly. If urgencies close by do not demand attention or are being attended to by others, then one should look further afield to other global urgencies that might require a response from someone who is not yet responding. Cosmic Awareness does not advocate hunting for urgencies but rather becoming aware of them so that one moves in response involuntarily. Acting as a channel for this Awareness is not mandatory, but those who do will feel satisfied with their lives and actions.

The Law of Motivation

A brief mention is made of "The Law of Motivation." Cosmic Awareness indicates that entities following this law, where motivation is both the means and the end, may discover that the Law of Gratitude returns more quickly to them, bringing greater abundance and energy.

The Big Funnel Meditation

This section introduces "The Big Funnel Meditation." Entities are instructed to visualize a large cosmic funnel, similar to one used for pouring liquids, which is so vast that it captures all thoughts, energies, concepts, and experiences of all entities throughout all time and eternity. These experiences are described as rushing into the funnel like a stream of consciousness, condensing into a smaller space.

The meditation guides the practitioner to visualize themselves within this stream of consciousness, as the "big self," being squeezed into the funnel. This process involves becoming smaller and smaller, encompassing the entire experience of the universe. The visualization continues with being squeezed into a "black hole" or a "tiny, tiny hole," needing to feel all the energies, agonies, joys, sudden awakenings, deaths, explosions, contractions, physical pain, and bliss. The practitioner is encouraged to hear the cries and voices from all ages, the speeches, the profound talk, and the loud cursings, as well as the screams, cries, calls, answers, splashing of water, energy, and fire.

Finally, the meditation suggests feeling all of this being condensed into the tiny funnel, and the practitioner's own self being squeezed into this stream, holding all of it within. This leads to becoming smaller and smaller, to the "little self." From this "little self," the practitioner is to look out with a beam of light and contact the "Universal Self," the "Big Self," and thus know that they are One.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue reinforces the recurring themes of self-awareness, personal purpose, and the interconnectedness of all beings, which are central to the teachings of Cosmic Awareness. The editorial stance is one of guidance and empowerment, encouraging individuals to look inward and outward to find their place and purpose in the world. The newsletter promotes a holistic approach to well-being, encompassing physical health (chia seeds), mental and spiritual centering (meditation, purpose identification), and the realization of universal oneness. The publication, "Revelations of Awareness," is presented as a cosmic newsletter published by Cosmic Awareness Communications, with membership rates and information available upon request.
