Magazine Overview

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness," identified as Volume 89-4 and Issue No. 341, published by Cosmic Awareness Communications in 1989, presents a New Age perspective on global events, spiritual consciousness, and personal responsibility. The cover features a triptych of symbolic illustrations and poses the provocative question: "ARE WE BEING DUPES OF THE DARK FORCES?"

Accepting Responsibility and Taking Control Over Your Own Life

The lead article, attributed to Cosmic Awareness (General Reading, March 8, 1988), emphasizes the concept of 'being at cause' as the acceptance of responsibility for one's actions. It contrasts two perspectives on life events: one where entities see themselves as victims of external forces, and another where they recognize their own role, even partial, in causing events. The latter perspective fosters a greater sense of control, the ability to learn from experiences, and ultimately, a greater capacity for success. The article suggests that as entities evolve in awareness, they must take more control, acknowledging that while total control is not possible due to external influences, exerting one's own influence is crucial.

It posits that "NOTHING HAPPENS UNTIL ENTITIES MAKE IT HAPPEN," clarifying that this refers to significant events in an entity's experience, not natural phenomena. Actions, whether physical, mental, or organizational, are seen as the drivers of results. Entities are encouraged not to give up if initial actions don't yield the desired outcome but to find the appropriate actions.

Are Those Who Are Energizing and Advocating Peace With the Russians, Unwitting Pawns of the Dark Force?

This section addresses a question from an M.P. of Stockton, California, concerning Avaton's (C.A.C. editor) February 11, 1987, memo encouraging cooperation and making friends with the Russians. The member expresses concern that this noble intent might be subverted by the 'Dark Forces' and the 'power elite' to promote global political unity under the guise of spiritual unity, leading to a 'Mark of the Beast' system. The member fears that people will be 'suckered into the system of the Beast,' mistaking political unity for genuine peace.

The article references a controversial miniseries "Amerika" as propaganda designed to foster fear of Russians and promote the Star Wars defense initiative. It highlights efforts towards positive US/Soviet relations, such as the "Space Bridge" television programs and the "Better World Society." The "Beyond War" seminar and the "World Peace Academy" are also mentioned as organizations promoting peace.

Cosmic Awareness responds that there is good reason for increased openness between the US and Soviet Union. It suggests that the 40-year cold war, orchestrated by internationalists and bankers, has primarily benefited those interests, creating national debt. The publication argues that while the Russian people are fine, making friends with the Soviet system, which is seen as totalitarian, could inadvertently aid the 'Dark Forces' in pushing for global government.

What Makes Fanatic "Anti-Communists" Tick?

This section explores the mentality that frustrates efforts toward peace with Russia. It uses the example of Olympia's sister city relationship with a Ukrainian city and the backlash it received, labeling council members as Communists. The article discusses the "Space Bridge" television programs, which aimed to foster understanding by showing the lives of ordinary Russians and Americans. It criticizes those who label such initiatives as "un-American" and promote hatred.

Cosmic Awareness explains that the cold war was a game played by internationalists and money-mongers, who are now seeking to create a new kind of cold war, possibly more heated, between superpowers and developing nations to gain control of resources and populations. It asserts that labels like Communism and Atheism were used manipulatively to create division. The publication suggests that many people are now "wakening" from this conditioning.

It delves into the origins of Communism, claiming it was financed by New York banks and that Karl Marx was commissioned by secret organizations to write the manifesto for Communism, while a similar process occurred for the Nazi movement.

The concept of 'identification' is presented as the root of hostility. Entities are said to use their affiliations (political, religious, racial) as an excuse to hate those with different identifications, creating artificial hostilities. This is seen as a form of conditioning, where individuals blindly follow programmed beliefs and philosophies, often due to a desire for comfort and a fear of challenging the status quo.

A Presidential Candidate With Armageddon Philosophy

This section examines presidential candidates, focusing on Jesse Jackson and Pat Robertson. It notes that candidates are generally quiet on the Middle East issue, with George Bush, Robert Dole, and Jesse Jackson considered to have the most flexible positions. Jesse Jackson is highlighted for openly discussing the Middle East problem, despite past controversies.

Pat Robertson is described as following a classic Armageddon theology, interpreting biblical prophecy to mean the US and Israel will team up against Arabs and the Soviet Union in a nuclear holocaust to pave the way for the Second Coming of Christ. The article quotes Robertson's interpretation of Ezekiel 38, predicting a nuclear war that reduces Soviet Russia to a fourth-rate power and makes Israel the world's wonder.

Cosmic Awareness comments on the danger of such a philosophy in a world leader, calling it a "vote for suicide." It suggests that entities who believe they will be selected and 'raptured' out of earthly destruction are energized by this myth. The publication criticizes those who promote fear and false securities, exposing the hypocrisy of such 'television con artists.' It asserts that entities tend to believe the most bizarre lies, especially when repeated, and that this confusion is exploited by those who manipulate the mind, similar to Hitler's methods.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the influence of 'Dark Forces' in global affairs, the importance of spiritual awareness and personal responsibility, and the critique of manipulative political and religious ideologies. The publication advocates for a move away from fear-based beliefs and literal interpretations of prophecies, urging readers to embrace a higher consciousness and a more nuanced understanding of global events. The editorial stance is critical of systems that promote division, control, and fear, while promoting concepts of unity, trust, and individual empowerment through spiritual understanding.

Article: AN EXERCISE TO IMPROVE MEDITATION

The main cover story, "AN EXERCISE TO IMPROVE MEDITATION," addresses a reader's difficulty in achieving desired meditation results despite trying various methods. Cosmic Awareness explains that the reader's problem lies in exerting too much mental effort. It suggests a different approach to meditation, moving away from focusing on a single point or the pineal gland in a forceful manner. Instead, the guidance is to turn the attention backwards, to a point behind the ears, and then direct it upward through the crown chakra, about eight inches above the head. This method is intended to help the meditator feel a different type of energy.

The text also touches upon the experience of seeing white light, suggesting that deep breathing exercises can help bring prana into the optic nerve, which may then be perceived as light. It emphasizes that the true value of meditation lies in calming the mind and nerves, leading to peace of mind and physical healing. The concept of 'Christ Consciousness' is also introduced, described as a subtle, internal awakening that moves from individual to individual, bringing truth and the realization of immortality.

Article: THE APPETITE CONTROL PATCH

This section addresses a reader's inquiry about the effectiveness of the 'Magic Patch,' an appetite control patch. Cosmic Awareness confirms that the patch can be effective over time, not as a quick fix, but by delivering beneficial substances homeopathically through the skin to help curb appetite. It notes that proper placement of the patch, in conjunction with acupuncture points, may require expert assistance. The patch is considered safe and can be used in conjunction with dieting or weight loss programs. The product is described as a non-toxic homeopathic preparation that uses acupuncture points and homeopathic preparations to send a bio-electrical message to the brain's appetite control center. A 30-day supply costs $29.95 and is sold through a pyramid-type sales plan.

Article: WILL STOPPING UP ONE NOSTRIL STOP THE AGING PROCESS?

Responding to a question from B.W., Cosmic Awareness discusses the practice of alternating nostril breathing (closing the right nostril from sunrise to sundown and the left from sundown to sunrise) as a method to potentially slow aging. The Awareness indicates that this practice can have beneficial results, largely due to the power of suggestion, similar to hypnosis. If one strongly believes in its benefits, they may experience them. While it has corrected some post-nasal drip for the questioner, the Awareness does not foresee it becoming a widespread social fad, as most people would prefer to breathe through both nostrils.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes a spiritual and holistic approach to life, emphasizing self-awareness, inner peace, and the potential for personal transformation. The editorial stance appears to be one of guidance and enlightenment, offering practical advice rooted in esoteric and spiritual principles. There is a recurring theme of the power of consciousness, intention, and belief in influencing physical and mental well-being. The publication also seems to advocate for alternative health methods and spiritual practices as complements to conventional approaches.
