Key Articles and Themes

Christianity in the New Age

The central theme of this issue is a re-evaluation of Christianity, moving beyond its structured forms and historical dogma to embrace its underlying spiritual essence. Cosmic Awareness, communicating through its interpreter Paul Shockley, suggests that many entities focus on the name "Jesus" or the label "Christian" rather than the actual teachings and spirit of Christ. The message is that the Universal Creator is not concerned with specific names or rituals for salvation, but rather with the evolution and well-being of all parts of creation. The issue critiques the historical perversion of Christ's teachings, citing examples of military conquest and persecution carried out in the name of Christianity, which it deems a distortion of Christ's spirit of love and compassion.

Jesus on Reincarnation

This section addresses the concept of reincarnation as it relates to Jesus's teachings. It posits that when Jesus asked, "Whom do they say I Am?", he was inquiring about perceptions of himself as a man, distinct from his Higher Self or Christ Consciousness. The text explains that Jesus's disciples' answers (Elias, prophets, John the Baptist) point to a belief in reincarnation, and Jesus's own response is interpreted as affirming his role as a teacher, possibly a reincarnation of Elias, while also channeling the Christ Consciousness, which is identified as the Son of God, the Way, the Truth, and the Light.

The Huna philosophy from Hawaii is referenced, defining the "High Self" as a loving parent, path, and light, paralleling the terminology used by Christ. The text suggests that Jesus was essentially a Kahuna (a Hawaiian term for a carpenter or builder, interpreted as a teacher) and that his teachings contained hidden philosophies explaining divine reality, accessible through inner study rather than literal interpretation of the New Testament.

Are Terrorists Planning to Disrupt the Olympic Games?

This section addresses a question about a reported plot by North Korea to disrupt the Olympic Games. Cosmic Awareness indicates that such a plan has been in the making and that while there is a chance of exposure and prevention, the possibility remains. It suggests that this relates to a previous incident where a woman discovered she was part of a training program for such disruption, and that the announcement by the South Korean government may diminish the likelihood of the event occurring.

Will North and South Korea Ever Reunify?

Responding to a question about the reunification of North and South Korea, Cosmic Awareness suggests that while there are forces working towards unification, it does not appear likely in the near future or within this century. The issue notes that conflict has been brewing for decades, with some South Koreans preferring a relationship with North Korea due to perceived corruption in their own government. The area is expected to remain a source of international and domestic concern.

What Can Senior Citizens Do to Protect Their Savings?

This section provides advice to a senior citizen concerned about protecting her savings on a fixed income. Cosmic Awareness suggests that the "big lie" is the impression that saving money in banks and earning interest will lead to significant future returns. It explains that the money system is designed so that interest barely keeps up with inflation, leading to a loss of value over time. The advice is to seek investments that yield more than the inflation rate, such as stocks or bonds, but with caution. It also suggests considering partnerships in stable businesses or real estate ventures, emphasizing the need for trusted partners and professional advice, or exploring ways to increase income through cottage businesses.

How About Utility Stocks for a Safe Investment?

In response to a question about utility stocks as a safe investment, Cosmic Awareness indicates that while utility stocks and municipal bonds may be solid for some time, an economic collapse is anticipated within approximately a year or so (around 1989), which could lead to losses even in these areas. It suggests that investment in precious metals, at least a percentage of assets, could be beneficial due to likely inflation, influenced by Middle East events and oil prices. It also notes that land and real estate values may increase, but not for extended periods.

U.S. Treasury Planning Entire New Line of Coins

This section addresses concerns about the U.S. Treasury's plan to redesign coins. Cosmic Awareness suggests that this is part of a larger economic plan to gain power over the masses, potentially involving plastic coins instead of metal ones. It indicates that the redesign might be an excuse to replace current coins and introduce new currency, serving the interests of international bankers. The issue also touches upon the concept of the national debt being owed to these bankers and the potential illegality of the Federal Reserve's operations.

The Federal Reserve and the National Debt

This part of the issue delves into the Federal Reserve system, describing it as a privately owned entity that has operated illegally and outside constitutional rights. It argues that the national debt owed to the Federal Reserve is therefore illegal and should not be paid. The text suggests that efforts by "patriots" to expose the Federal Reserve's illegal operations could wipe out this obligation for American taxpayers and restore monetary responsibility to Congress. It highlights the work of Lindsay Williams and Archibald E. Roberts's book, "The Most Secret Science," as resources for understanding these issues. The manipulation of the money system is identified as a key method used by internationalists to achieve a world totalitarian system, and spreading awareness about the Federal Reserve's alleged illegality is presented as a way to thwart these efforts.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual awakening, the reinterpretation of religious dogma, and critical examination of economic and political systems. The editorial stance is one of encouraging independent thought, questioning established authorities (religious and financial), and seeking deeper, essential truths beyond superficial labels and structures. There is a strong undercurrent of conspiracy theory, particularly concerning the Federal Reserve and international financial powers, presented as manipulative forces seeking global control. The publication advocates for a shift towards spiritual understanding and awareness as a means to navigate and resist these perceived negative influences.

Title: REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS
Issue: 11
Date: July 1, 1988
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Country: USA
Language: English

This issue of REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS delves into several distinct topics, primarily focusing on health concerns related to aluminum toxicity and its potential link to Alzheimer's disease, alongside broader discussions on currency manipulation and genetic predispositions.

Aluminum and Alzheimer's Disease

The central theme of this issue is the connection between aluminum and Alzheimer's disease. A question posed by S.V., a registered nurse from Beaconsfield, Quebec, inquires about the contagiousness of Alzheimer's and its potential link to aluminum toxicity from cooking pots and deodorants. The 'Cosmic Awareness' response confirms that aluminum in cooking pots and deodorants contributes to the disease. It suggests that chelation, a process to remove heavy toxic metals, can be beneficial. Additionally, it recommends certain enzymes, L-Tryptophane, Gotu-Kola, Vitamin C (found abundantly in kiwi fruit), other fruits and vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, and brussel sprouts, as well as magnesium, various amino acids, Vitamin E, Vitamin A (especially carotene), and antioxidants like SOD (Super Oxide Dismutase) for improving the circulatory system and overall health.

The publication highlights that detrimental foods include fatty fried foods, meats, high-calcium foods (especially cooked or melted cheese), and pasteurized milk, as these can create calcium deposits. Magnesium and chelation are again emphasized for removing these deposits and calcification.

Regarding the question of whether Alzheimer's disease can be reversed, 'Cosmic Awareness' states that much can be done. While some memory loss might be permanent, the body can be rejuvenated. The core issue is identified as aluminum and calcium poisoning of cells in the body and brain. Removing these toxins allows cells to become more functional, potentially restoring some memory recall. The use of high-quality SOD is particularly noted as helpful in reversing the disease's effects.

On the question of whether Alzheimer's is genetic, the publication acknowledges a hereditary tendency but stresses that genetics are not immutable. Environmental influences and life experiences can alter an individual's genetic structure, enabling the brain to form new impressions and change genetic coding. Chronic diseases, in general, are discussed as potentially being passed down through generations, with conditions like syphilis in grandparents possibly leading to a tendency for cancer in future generations.

The issue further posits that Alzheimer's disease is relatively new and a result of excessive reliance on aluminum. Other environmental toxins like lead from automobiles, water pipes, and canned foods also contribute to weakening the system, making it more susceptible to aluminum's effects. The widespread consumption of aluminum in baking powders over the past 50 years is cited as a significant factor. Chelation is presented as the quickest way to remove aluminum from the system, though homeopathic techniques and vitamins/minerals are also mentioned as more time-consuming alternatives.

Currency and Government Control

An article by Ron Paul, featured in his 'The Ron Paul Investment Letter,' is referenced. Paul argues that the planned currency switch is not about counterfeiting but about surveillance. He points to a new 'New Money' concept involving a visible polyester thread that could be altered to hold information, potentially enabling a federal deficit card system and a cashless society, which he equates to the IRS's dream of total financial control over Americans. His advice is to buy gold and silver.

Regarding a potential one-world currency, the publication notes that many international currencies now feature a mysterious large blank spot, usually a circle or square, designed for an imprint. While acknowledging the potential for enslavement through a money system, it also suggests that a one-world government could benefit humanity if the motives of those behind it were to change, or if they were exposed for their criminal activities.

Southern Baptists and Theological Stance

A separate news item reports on the Southern Baptists' annual convention in San Antonio, Texas. A resolution approved by the denomination affirmed their belief that individuals without a personal commitment to Jesus Christ will be consigned to a literal hell, described as a place of everlasting separation from God. This stance represents no change in doctrine for the 14.7 million-member denomination.

Other Content

The issue also includes advertisements for 'The Most Secret Science' book, which claims to reveal secrets about America's economic crisis and methods for financial survival, and a theological bumper sticker observed in Seattle: 'EVANGELISTS DO MORE THAN LAY PEOPLE.'

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are health and wellness, particularly concerning environmental toxins and their impact on the body, and skepticism towards governmental and financial systems, advocating for individual financial autonomy. The editorial stance appears to be one of raising awareness about potential health hazards and questioning established systems, encouraging readers to seek alternative solutions and information. The publication promotes a holistic approach to health and a critical view of societal structures.
