Magazine Overview

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness," titled "Cosmic Awareness Communications," is identified as Issue No. 320, dated July 29, 1980. The cover features an illustration of an angelic figure and poses the central question: "HOW 'DECREEING' TO THE SPIRITUAL HIERARCHY WORKS." The publication is from Cosmic Awareness Communications in Olympia, Washington, USA, and is priced at $3.00.

All About Decrees and Their Effect Upon the Interpreter and C.A.C.

The issue begins with a question from J.K. of Vernon, Connecticut, regarding an interaction with a member of Summit University. This member mentioned that 'keepers of the flame' were performing decrees to protect Paul Shockley, the Interpreter for Cosmic Awareness, from astral energies and spirits. The question probes the effect of this energy on Awareness's messages and whether it influences the channeling direction.

Cosmic Awareness responds affirmatively, stating that the decrees from Summit Lighthouse have a general benefit for many Light workers and entities, creating and clearing energy fields. It acknowledges that these decrees have been beneficial to the Interpreter and Cosmic Awareness Communications, as well as to many other entities. The response also notes a karmic connection between Elizabeth Clare Prophet and Interpreter Paul Shockley, stemming from past lives in Egypt, and their shared concern regarding prophesied situations like the 'Mark of the Beast.' Awareness suggests that these prophecies need not materialize if entities awaken and work to bring about necessary changes.

What Exactly is a "Decree" and How Does it Work?

Cosmic Awareness defines a decree as an imaging action accompanied by vocal sounds and vibrations. The act of imaging creates a picture in the consciousness field, and this image can be enhanced by sound or vibration, likened to launching a rocket. The use of sound provides the power and force to transmit the image to its destiny. This principle is also applied to prayers and other vocalizations, which carry power. Even mental sound can be effective, though audible sound is more potent. Participating in sacramental healing and vocalizing words like "love" or "OMs" generates vibrations that bring back energies and light.

Is "Decreeing" an Alchemical Action?

Cosmic Awareness confirms that decreeing is an alchemical action. Alchemy, in this context, is defined as the transmission of energies from one vibratory rate to another for specific purposes. Entities can act as capacitors, transmitters, and receivers of these energies, tuning into frequencies and channeling them, similar to electronic devices.

Will Decrees Work Only if Directed to the Spiritual Hierarchy & Masters?

This section addresses the belief that decrees only work when sent through the spiritual hierarchy or ascended masters. Cosmic Awareness states that decrees will work regardless of how they are sent. However, using the spiritual hierarchy can act as a system to send energies at a specific frequency, with beings who can speed up or slow down the energy as needed. These vibrations are then used by the spiritual hierarchy for their purposes, essentially providing energy for guides on this plane.

Why You Should Recognize Your Guides

While not suggesting over-concern, Cosmic Awareness advises entities to recognize their spiritual guides, who assist humanity and can provide guidance according to the entity's desires and deserts. These guides can help entities move towards greater influence and responsibility. However, it is cautioned that entities should not become overly dependent on guides, friends, or even God, but rather develop their own capabilities and homing instinct.

Some Guides Can Lead You Down the Dark Path

Entities can be tempted by negative or Alien Force guides if they tune into frequencies of fear, greed, or separateness. These guides may lead entities down a dark path of personal power, resulting in temporary gratification, confusion, or sick results. The entity is responsible for following these paths, not the Alien Forces.

Recognition of Spiritual Beings Can Create Entrapment

Recognizing spiritual beings can become a form of entrapment if entities rely solely on them and fail to rely on their own homing instinct or the Universal Source. While recognizing teachers and gurus is important, moving into union with the Universal Source is paramount, allowing teachers and guides to step aside.

Giving Energy to the Diabolical is Bad News

Giving energy to beings perceived as diabolical or evil, and expecting such behavior, can result in a reciprocal reaction, potentially explaining forms of black magic.

The Sound System of Sant Mat as a Path

This section briefly mentions the Sant Mat system, an action where entities follow a sound current through meditation, guided by masters at different vibratory rates, a system from which Eckankar was derived.

The Many Paths of Yoga

Various yoga paths are mentioned, including the yoga of cause and effect, breathing, Hatha yoga, physical yoga, Bhakti yoga, yoga of wisdom, yoga of love and devotion, and yoga of Gnani (knowledge). The yoga of devotion is highlighted as the basis of Christianity. Gnani yoga is paralleled with modern science and logical systems.

Can One Bypass Guides and Rely on the Higher Self Only?

This question explores the perceived redundancy of guides and the higher self. Cosmic Awareness states that any deity, being, guide, spirit, or master that an entity admires can serve as the energy that pulls the entity upward. If an entity believes a particular movie star or a departed loved one is the highest force, that being can become a model and receive energy, influencing the entity's actions.

Giving Energy to the Diabolical is Bad News (Continued)

This section reiterates that giving energy to beings perceived as diabolical or evil can lead to negative consequences. It advises focusing energies on loving and beneficial beings, whether ascended masters, deities, or even imagined figures.

What to Do When You Start Receiving Bad Guidance From Your Guide

If an entity receives bad guidance, it may be a sign that they have surpassed the spiritual capacity of their current guides. While it's not advisable to tell an entity not to rely on guides, they should recognize what the guides are offering. If an entity becomes hindered, they may need more highly developed guides or may eventually cease relying on them and turn to universal awareness and cosmic law. However, even in union with God, seeking help from spiritual hierarchy or guides is not degrading, but rather a request for assistance from friends.

How Awareness Uses the Hierarchy in Healing

Awareness directs entities from the inner plane to assist in healing processes, requiring recognition and energy from the recipient to be effective.

Stand Tall Spiritually -- Groveling Is Not Necessary

Entities are cautioned against becoming overly dependent on the spiritual hierarchy, friends, or even God. They are encouraged to develop their own capabilities, stand tall spiritually, and ask for help when needed, but prioritize self-help.

What About the Yorktown Directive: "The Hierarchy Must Relinquish Power"?

Regarding the Yorktown Directive of 1977, Cosmic Awareness clarifies that it was not a negative directive. It signified that mankind had "come of age" and the hierarchy was relinquishing its power, specifically the emotional and dependency controls that entities had given them. This action was to break a static situation, forcing mankind to face his own independence and responsibility, akin to cutting the umbilical cord of a newborn. The spiritual hierarchy remains to serve and offer guidance, but the relinquishing of controls was to foster responsibility for one's actions.

A Thanks From Awareness to Those Who Decree

Cosmic Awareness expresses appreciation to those who have assisted in decreeing, attention, and service to the organization. It indicates that energy will be sent in return, facilitating an alchemical union of forces for the new millennium.

A Magic Meditation from Awareness: --How to Make Others Healthy, Wealthy and Wise

This section addresses a question about an alternative method to visualization for energizing people. Cosmic Awareness suggests using a picture of the entities, placing it under the pillow, and stating that they will become wholesome, healthy, harmonious, spiritual, and prosperous. Alternatively, a picture can be placed somewhere, and snapping fingers when passing it can direct entities toward higher consciousness. The mind is described as a fantastic tool that can use any technique it accepts as workable.

This Awareness indicates that all minds are part of the One Mind, and whatever energies are sent to others will influence their minds. It emphasizes that deeper subjective levels lead to more powerful contact. Misusing these powers for adverse effects is considered black magic and will backfire. Instead, powers should be used for beneficial results, healing, teaching, and mercy.

Physical Defects Are Not Always Karmic Punishment

This section discusses the movie "The Elephant Man" and the entity John Merrick. Cosmic Awareness suggests that information about Merrick's life can be researched through the film's producers, as the Interpreter may not have sufficient energy to uncover it. Regarding karma, Awareness clarifies that not all physical disfigurements are karmic. They can arise from mischance or be part of a mission to change concepts and energies in the mass-mind. The example of Jesus is given, whose birth and suffering were not karmic punishment but part of a mission. The issue of entities being born into unpopular races, families, or with disfigurements is presented as a means to bring greater understanding and change in the mass-mind. The misconception that all indignities are karmic perpetuates hostility and detachment, contributing to the oppression of humanity.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the power of consciousness, intention, and energy transmission through practices like decreeing and meditation. Cosmic Awareness emphasizes personal responsibility, the importance of recognizing spiritual guides while avoiding over-dependence, and the interconnectedness of all minds. The publication advocates for using one's abilities for positive transformation and healing, rather than for personal gain or negative influence. The editorial stance appears to be one of empowerment, encouraging individuals to understand and utilize their inner potential and spiritual connections for growth and the betterment of humanity, while also promoting a critical and discerning approach to spiritual concepts and entities.

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" (Issue 11) is a cosmic newsletter published by Cosmic Awareness Communications. It delves into the profound effects of various odors and aromas on human well-being, exploring their impact on emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual states. The publication also addresses a personal account of an unusual encounter involving alleged 'UFO people' and astral shells, offering guidance and energetic intervention.

The Effects of Various Odors and Aromas in One's Environment

The primary focus of this section is to answer a question from M.H. G. of Jacksonville, Florida, regarding how fragrances can be used to create greater mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Cosmic Awareness explains the effects of different scent categories:

• Sweet Swelling Odors: Such as rose and sweet perfumes, these generally increase and stimulate emotional and physical passions.
• Crisp Smelling Odors: Including sandalwood, cinnamon, eucalyptus, lotus, and ginger, these sharp, high-pitched odors tend to heighten consciousness and stimulate mental energies.
• Minty Odors: Spearmint, wintergreen, menthol, and to some extent eucalyptus and myrtlewood, peppermint, are indicated to stimulate the release of emotions that have been held back. This is particularly relevant to phlegm and phlegmatic conditions like colds or flu.

The Connection Between Emotions and Colds

Cosmic Awareness posits that a cold or flu is essentially an emotion that has been held in check for too long, forcing its way out of the system. Symptoms like a runny nose, choked-up throat, or tight, painful eyes are described as manifestations of slow-moving tears or a slow-motion crying process. Entities that can quickly release emotions or break into tears may heal themselves of psychological factors related to colds. The origin of colds is linked to feelings of rejection, which can cause an emotional block, stifling emotions and making the body susceptible to viruses, fevers, and congestion. Minty odors, minty teas, or steam from mint extracts are suggested as beneficial for releasing these emotional blocks and congestions.

Pungent, Fruity, and Pine Scents

• Pungent Smells: Such as cheeses or heavy meaty odors (onions, garlic), relate to bilious conditions and melancholy feelings. They can assist entities in feeling more grounded and solid, centering the entity and providing a sense of energy and stability. However, over-experiencing these can lead to being too physical, losing imagination and creativity.
• Fruit Smells: Citrus, tropical fruits, apples, cherries, and pears affect the throat chakra and the general circulation of the body, including the bloodstream. These smells strengthen the aura, cleanse the blood, and have a lightening, levitating effect on emotions, assisting in overcoming melancholy feelings.
• Pine, Hemlock, and Cedar Odors: These high-pitched or piercing odors relate to heightened consciousness. They tend to cleanse the nostrils and headspace, creating an awakening feeling and uplifting consciousness. Cedar is noted as particularly beneficial for this type of consciousness experience.

Patchouli Oil and its Value

In response to a follow-up question, Cosmic Awareness states that Patchouli oil, similar to musk, affects emotional, astral, and passionate feelings, assisting in feeling centered and grounded. It suggests that mixing garlic oil and rose oil can provide a similar effect, working on the lower chakras, the spine, and the chakras below and including the thymus.

Cosmic Awareness further categorizes odors: pungent odors are related to yang qualities, sweet odors are less yang but still on the yang side, while higher, more piercing odors like mints, pines, eucalyptus, fir, hemlock, and cedar are on the yin side, dealing mostly with consciousness. These yin odors assist the aura and higher vibrations in consciousness, particularly affecting the upper chakras, thymus, adrenal, thyroid, and heart chakra.

How an Astral Shell Can Invade an Entity on the Physical Plane

This section addresses a question from N.K. from Canada, who reported a disturbing experience. N.K. woke up to two 'spirit' entities who identified themselves telepathically as 'UFO people'. They placed an animal skin on the left side of his body, and he felt the animal dissolve into him, leading to a feeling of being drained of energy and an aging leg. He expressed fear that these spirits were bad and worried about allowing this to happen.

Cosmic Awareness's Response to the Astral Invasion

Cosmic Awareness indicates that this appears to have been an invasion that was allowed due to the entity being open and vulnerable. The power involved was described as relatively weak and not personally projected against N.K. These entities are identified as astral shells from the local area, of beings who had long departed the physical, seeking to communicate and gain energy at the entity's expense.

This Awareness suggests that this was a weak ritual, and the entities lacked significant understanding of power. The fear and significance associated with their appearance gave them power over N.K. By recognizing them as weak and insignificant astral shells, their force and influence will diminish.

Cosmic Awareness then states that it will send energies to dissipate the influences placed upon N.K.'s psyche. These energies are described as banished and will no longer affect him. Furthermore, a resonating electromagnetic energy will be brought into N.K.'s presence to surround his body, providing strength, vitality, creativity, confidence, and courage. These energies are drawn through the Christ Light and will be dispersed throughout his being.

This Awareness indicates that this process is completed and N.K. need not concern himself with the experience, but should instead focus his energies on activities reflecting his true purposes.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the interconnectedness of the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual realms, particularly as influenced by external stimuli like odors and internal emotional states. There is a strong emphasis on holistic well-being and the power of consciousness. The editorial stance, as conveyed through Cosmic Awareness, is one of empowerment and spiritual guidance, offering explanations for phenomena and providing energetic support to overcome negative influences. The publication promotes a non-profit model, seeking minimum membership contributions for its continued operation.
