Contents and Key Articles

The Baptism of the Spirit (P. 2-5)

This section addresses the spiritual concept of receiving the Holy Spirit. Cosmic Awareness explains that it involves creating a "vacuum" or receptivity within oneself, a need for redemption that, when accepted by faith, is filled by the Spirit. This process is described as a way to eliminate feelings of guilt and alienation, leading to a sense of salvation and conversion. It's presented as a method to overcome low self-esteem and feelings of being rejected or lost, facilitating a shift towards being loved, accepted, and integrated.

Cancer of the Colon: Its Prevention and Treatment (P. 5)

This article discusses the rising incidence of colon cancer, linking it to excessive consumption of meat, particularly prepared meats with nitrate additives, and foods raised with growth compounds. It also points to the role of processed foods and poor digestion due to certain types of fiber. The advice given is to moderate meat intake, avoid pork and hormone-fed fowl, and limit sugar and white flour. For treatment, a fast involving fruits, juices, and vegetables, along with the use of stabilized aloe vera, is recommended. Prevention is emphasized as the greater protection.

Fasting as a Cure for Colon Cancer (P. 6)

This follow-up question explores the effectiveness of a seven-day cleansing diet for those with a history of heavy meat consumption. Cosmic Awareness suggests that such diets can be beneficial for cleansing the system and preventing disease, depending on the individual's condition. It also recommends regular fasting, such as daily intermittent fasting or weekly/monthly longer fasts, to allow the body to eliminate toxins. The article also touches upon the subconscious mind's role in health, suggesting that fixations and traumas can lead to self-destructive behavior, and that therapy might be needed to address these deeper issues.

How to Use Honey and Lemon Juice in the 3 Day and the 7 Day Fast (P. 6)

This section clarifies the use of honey and lemon juice during fasting. It explains that a mixture of honey and lemon juice in water can be used, particularly at the end of a seven-day fast or as part of a three-day fast, often accompanied by enemas for cleansing. The distinction between a three-day and a seven-day fast is highlighted, with the latter typically ending with honey and lemon, while the former begins with it.

How 4000 Entities Can Prevent Nuclear War (P. 7)

Responding to a question about Dr. Beter's assertion that 4000 aware entities could avert nuclear war, Cosmic Awareness confirms this possibility. It emphasizes that this prevention would occur through dedicated and energetic communication, attention, and alerting others, rather than subversive or violent action. The idea is that these 4000 individuals could awaken exponentially more people, leading to a national shift in consciousness and preventing war. The article notes that this message was particularly relevant in 1979, when a nuclear threat was perceived, and that similar efforts by readers of the newsletter helped avert that specific crisis.

Where Does a Thought Come From? (P. 8-9)

This section explores the nature and origin of thoughts. Cosmic Awareness distinguishes between the brain as a house and thought as something else. Thoughts are described as energies of vibrations, picked up by intuition and electrical-magnetic fields, and conveyed by nerves. They can be stored in memory or come from external sources, akin to receiving broadcasts. The distinction is made between thoughts as concepts or images and the words used to label them. Ultimately, thoughts are seen as names or labels for energies, patterns, and images that are broadcast through etheric realms and then processed by the individual's consciousness.

Tubal Ligation as a Form of Birth Control (P. 10)

Cosmic Awareness indicates that tubal ligation is considered a suitable method for birth control on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. It also mentions a forthcoming watch that uses temperature changes to indicate fertile or non-fertile periods, related to the rhythm method. A follow-up question acknowledges the potential for pregnancy even with such methods due to sperm viability, to which Cosmic Awareness affirms that there is always some danger or chance of pregnancy with rhythm methods and other methods vary in their risk.

A Member Asks: "How Come Awareness Doesn't Discuss Cosmic Principles?" (P. 10)

A member expresses a desire for more in-depth discussions on "cosmic principles," such as creation, laws of manifestation, Yin-Yang, the four elements, and the four forces, and how they relate to Tarot, Kabbalah, astrology, and numerology. Cosmic Awareness suggests that this would require more than a single reading and might be better suited for a book, potentially compiled by the interpreter with accompanying images.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around consciousness, spirituality, and self-awareness, particularly within a New Age framework. Cosmic Awareness consistently emphasizes the power of individual consciousness, the importance of understanding energetic manipulations, and the potential for personal transformation and collective action. The editorial stance is one of encouraging self-discovery, questioning, and direct experience rather than blind belief. There is a strong focus on spiritual redemption, overcoming negative states like guilt and alienation, and applying these principles to practical matters such as health and global peace. The publication encourages active participation in creating a better future, whether through personal spiritual growth or collective efforts to influence societal direction.

Title: REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS
Issue: 11
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Country: USA
Language: English
Cover Headline: HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ASTRAL AND MENTAL BODIES (HOW THE MENTAL BODIES WORK)

This issue of Revelations of Awareness delves into the nature and influence of astral and mental bodies, offering guidance on how individuals can protect themselves from their effects. It also touches upon the practical aspects of disseminating this information and includes a meditation exercise.

Protection from Astral and Mental Bodies

The issue addresses a question from J.H. of Vancouver, British Columbia, regarding a method used to put mental bodies at rest that bother individuals. The method, studied with Francisco Coll, reportedly helps people by addressing mental bodies that have been around for many lifetimes, disturbing people with foreign thoughts and feelings.

Cosmic Awareness explains that an individual is a composite of energy levels, including astral (emotional) and mental bodies, which progress toward higher spiritual realms based on their development. The mental body does not reach as far into spiritual realms as the causal or etheric body, and the astral body does not reach the level of the mental body.

Many entities are influenced by astral forms and bodies of those who have passed on, leading to moods, possession, or other influences. Mental bodies, similar to astral bodies, influence entities through thoughts and ideas. Some mental bodies can be beneficial, offering creative ideas or assistance in professions, leading to sudden insights. These are often referred to as 'Thought-forms' and can be either beneficial or detrimental.

Astral bodies that linger are generally less evolved than mental bodies and tend to attach to entities with similar emotions. These astral bodies can merge with an entity's emotions, leading the entity to experience strong emotional urges, from negative moods to hostility or passion.

Poor Nutrition and Possession

The publication highlights that emotional or astral energies are generally less harmful, but it is advisable to avoid merging with or being influenced by astral forms. Entities experiencing physical or nutritional deprivation, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, are more susceptible to possession. Specific nutritional deficiencies, such as a lack of B vitamins, low protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, and calcium, can increase this susceptibility. Magnesium is also mentioned as necessary along with calcium.

Controlling Thought-Forms and Mental Bodies

Fire or candles are suggested as a means to draw entities and energies, acting like a magnet for thought-forms. Burning these thought-forms can effectively remove them, and it is these thought-forms that energize the mental bodies that influence an entity.

Some mental bodies act as beneficial guides and should be kept. Most thought-forms, mental bodies, and astral bodies will respond to commands to leave, especially when accompanied by a ritual involving emotion strong enough to overcome the astral being.

Dealing with a mental body requires a rational and understood message from a trustworthy authority. An example command is: "You are to leave and go elsewhere, for you have other actions and experiences which are important to you."
The issue notes that the group of entities working with this information appears to have a relatively clear understanding of these forces and energies.

Computerization Project

An "ED's Note" expresses hope that the computerization project for the Awareness material will begin soon. For six years, over 8000 index cards with more than 50,000 individual references have been compiled. The goal is to input this data into a computer bank for easier access and to generate printouts on specific subjects. Eventually, an optical scanner is planned to digitize the readings, allowing for the creation of booklets on any subject.

Meditation on Soft Subtleties

A section titled "A MEDITATION ON THE NATURE OF SOFT SUBTLETIES" suggests a meditation exercise. Participants are instructed to close their eyes, lie down, and visualize harshness of metal, such as swords and sharp devices, cutting their hands. This is followed by visualizing the metal moving away, leaving only space. The exercise involves feeling the space, energies, light, and darkness, and observing subtle relationships in shades of gray. By moving their hands, individuals are encouraged to feel areas of varying density, developing sensitivity in their fingertips and consciousness.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring theme is the nature and influence of non-physical entities (astral, mental, thought-forms) on human consciousness and well-being. The publication adopts an informative and guiding stance, providing explanations and practical advice for protection and interaction with these energies. It also emphasizes the importance of disseminating this knowledge through accessible means like computerization and booklets. The editorial stance appears to be one of encouraging spiritual growth and awareness through understanding these subtle forces. The inclusion of a meditation exercise further supports this aim of enhancing individual consciousness and sensitivity. The publication also highlights the role of Cosmic Awareness Communications and the Universal Church of Awareness in spreading these messages. The overall tone is educational and supportive, aiming to empower individuals with knowledge about the unseen aspects of existence. The publication also includes information on membership levels and the use of donations for spreading the messages. The quote "Congratulations, you are our hundred-thousandth homeless person" from Izvestia/Moscow, accompanied by an illustration, adds a touch of commentary or satire, though its direct connection to the main articles is not explicitly stated. The publication is presented as a cosmic newsletter for members of Cosmic Awareness Communications and the Universal Church of Awareness.
