Cosmic Awareness - 1989 06 - health heal religion psychology mind hydrogen heaven hell subconscious hypnosis

Magazine Overview

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness," the New Age Cosmic Newsletter from Cosmic Awareness Communications, is dated March 20, 1989, and is identified as Issue No. 343. The cover prominently features a striking graphic and the headline: "HELL FIRE PREACHERS THAT HAVE VISIONS AND HEAL OTHERS. HOW DO THEY DO IT?"

A Special Healing from Cosmic Awareness

The issue begins with a message from Cosmic Awareness, dated March 20, 1989, offering a special healing to all members of the Cosmic Awareness Communications organization and subscribers. This healing is intended to provide additional assistance, help ward off negative forces, and enhance the well-being of entities and their loved ones. The process involves tuning into the Universal Consciousness and directing its energy for healing purposes, adding new information to an entity's life to bring harmony and balance.

Understanding Hell Fire Preachers and Visions

A significant portion of the newsletter addresses a question from a reader regarding individuals like Veronica Leuken, who claim to have visions of Jesus and the Virgin Mary and preach a 'fire and brimstone' message, yet also perform healings. Cosmic Awareness explains that while it is distressed by coercive teachings, it understands this is part of the evolutionary path for some entities. It posits that beliefs, whether rational or seemingly bizarre, become real for the individual when they find sufficient support, creating a phenomenon that appears more accurate.

The newsletter elaborates on how entities perceive truth based on their cultural programming and language. It suggests that many religious stories, including those in the Bible, are metaphorical rather than literal historical accounts, intended to guide development. The concept of 'hell' is interpreted as symbolic of the suffering experienced when an entity separates from the Divine Universal Consciousness, rather than a literal place of eternal torment.

The Power of Suggestion and Hypnosis

The issue extensively explores the power of suggestion and hypnosis, linking it to the concept of 'mind over matter.' It explains that when an entity's belief is strong enough and they are receptive, significant changes, including healings, can occur. This phenomenon is not exclusive to any particular religion or technique but is a natural principle. The newsletter draws parallels between religious teachings, spiritual counseling, and stage hypnosis, highlighting how suggestion can influence consciousness and even alter physical matter.

It is suggested that the effectiveness of suggestion is amplified when it comes from an individual with a strong will and when the recipient is receptive. The concept of 'babies' using a form of 'hypnosis' through their potential to disrupt harmony and create a powerful presence is also discussed, leading to the idea of how psychic power is created through the potential to disrupt balance.

Bondage, Loyalty, and Relationships

The newsletter extends the discussion of influence and control to relationships, particularly marriage. It suggests that loyalty and bondage are two sides of the same coin, where entities may compromise their own wishes to maintain harmony and balance within the relationship. A healthy hypnotic relationship is described as one where the hypnotist acts as an agent for the client's subconscious desires, not for personal control or gain.

The Invisible Group Mind and the Information Universe

Looking towards the coming century, the newsletter introduces the concept of the 'Invisible Group Mind,' a force that governs collective consciousness and guides civilizations, groups, and even the cells within an individual's body. This concept is linked to the idea of the universe as an 'information processor,' where matter is an outgrowth of mind and spirit. The new science emerging will focus on understanding this information and its processes rather than solely on material cause and effect.

Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy: Dangerous Scam or Effective Treatment?

A significant section addresses the controversy surrounding the internal use of hydrogen peroxide. It presents a warning from the VIM Newsletter, which labels it a "DANGEROUS SCAM" and claims it can cause cancer, nausea, and stomach ulcers. Cosmic Awareness counters that while misuse is dangerous, hydrogen peroxide therapy has been used historically, and when used in highly diluted amounts, it can be beneficial by increasing oxygen content in the body, which helps destroy harmful substances. It notes that the body itself creates hydrogen peroxide and that medical groups often attack such alternative therapies.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of consciousness, belief, and reality. Cosmic Awareness consistently emphasizes the power of the mind, the influence of suggestion, and the importance of understanding spiritual concepts metaphorically rather than literally. The newsletter advocates for a broader, more universal perspective, encouraging entities to move beyond limited beliefs and cultural programming. The editorial stance appears to be one of encouraging self-discovery, spiritual evolution, and a critical examination of both religious dogma and scientific claims, particularly concerning alternative health practices.

This issue of The Kansas City Star, dated Sunday, March 26, 1989, features a prominent health bulletin by Dr. John H. Renner titled "Peroxide won't cure anything." The publication also includes articles on spiritual alignment, health, diet, and the law of suggestion.

Health Bulletin: Peroxide won't cure anything Dr. John H. Renner's article strongly debunks the belief in the health benefits of swallowing or injecting hydrogen peroxide. He describes this practice as "weird, foolish and even bizarre" and potentially dangerous. The "remedy" is marketed through newsletters, advertisements, conferences, books, audio tapes, some health food stores, and even some church groups. The U.S. Postal Service has previously intervened in cases where it was sold as a treatment for AIDS and cancer. A "foundation" is mentioned that promotes its use and claims it can help find physicians trained to administer intravenous hydrogen peroxide, listing a wide range of conditions it supposedly treats, including angina, irregular heart rhythm, asthma, shingles, parasitic infections, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and blood and lymph node cancer. The foundation even published a how-to booklet for doctors.

Renner clarifies that supporters promote a 35 percent "food grade" solution, not the common 3 percent household solution. Even the 3 percent solution requires dilution for mouthwash. Those recommending the 35 percent solution advise diluting it in water or fruit juice, up to 25 drops, three times a day, in 5 ounces of water, claiming it purges the body of toxins. Renner dismisses this as "utter nonsense," warning that full-strength 35 percent hydrogen peroxide can quickly destroy stomach tissue. He states that while hydrogen peroxide may have germ-killing capability in a test tube, swallowing or injecting it for germ control has "no known scientific validity."

Dr. George X. Trimble, a medical archivist, is quoted saying the medical community is becoming more skeptical of hydrogen peroxide's usefulness as an antiseptic compared to past decades. One promoter suggests mixing it with aloe vera if a "tolerance problem" exists, recommending a specific brand. Renner criticizes promoters for quoting research and medical journals out of context, presenting "double talk" and "outright fraud." The article lists various suggested uses, including as a vegetable soak, insecticide, washing machine bleach replacement, douche, enema, colonic, and for pets and cows, calling this a "salesman's approach, not a logical or prudent one."

Taking hydrogen peroxide orally or intravenously as a remedy is deemed "foolish and wasteful." Renner advises reporting anyone selling it as an internal treatment for illness to authorities like the U.S. Postal Service, the state attorney general's office, the local FDA consumer affairs office, or the state's medical licensing board. He provides contact information for the National Council Against Health Fraud Resource Center for those who have literature or have been harmed by using it.

New SOD a Good Substitute for Hydrogen Peroxide This section discusses a different approach to health, suggesting that some individuals become careless or don't follow guidelines when using hydrogen peroxide, leading to potential damage. It proposes that SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) is a safer route, specifically mentioning the "Food Doctor brand made of wheat sprouts." This wheat sprout SOD is claimed to be thousands of times more effective than bovine-type SOD, creating natural hydrogen peroxide in the body, adding oxygen to reduce free radicals and toxins. It asserts that there is no danger of side-effects from wheat sprout SOD, even in large amounts, as it is considered food. Entities apprehensive about using hydrogen peroxide are advised to switch to SOD.

Historical Context: Peroxide of Hydrogen as a Remedial Agent An "ED's Note" references the AMA's efforts to debunk hydrogen peroxide therapy but points to an article from the Journal of the American Medical Association dated March 3, 1888, by I. N. Love, M.D., which discusses "Peroxide of Hydrogen as a Remedial Agent." The article describes commercial peroxide of hydrogen as a 3 percent aqueous solution used for bleaching animal products and notes its potential as a powerful antiseptic and destroyer of microbes, particularly for purulent surfaces. It mentions its administration internally for diabetes without success but suggests it might be reasonable for atonic dyspepsia due to gastric mucus issues. The author presents case studies:

• Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria: A 4-year-old boy with scarlet fever and subsequent diphtheria, experiencing profuse, purulent secretions and suffocation, was treated with diluted hydrogen peroxide for nasal passages and pure solution for the pharynx. The pus and mucus were reportedly cleared, and the fibrinous exudation disintegrated after repeated applications. Distressing symptoms abated within days.
• Cancer of the Womb: The author reports satisfaction using peroxide as a cleanser, deodorizer, and stimulator of healing for this condition, noting its effectiveness against the "horrible stench." Dr. Joseph Grindon is mentioned as using it to remove pigment spots from the skin.

The article concludes by stating it's needless to cite more cases, suggesting peroxide of hydrogen is worthy of trial in gonorrhea. The ED's Note also directs readers to previous "Revelations of Awareness" issues for more information on hydrogen peroxide and new super SOD.

Question: How to Overcome Fear and Stay Aligned with Spirit K.G. from Portland, Oregon, asks how to overcome fear and stay aligned with spirit, especially when fear is overwhelming. The "Cosmic Awareness" response explains that fear is caused by a lack of faith and a concern for being isolated or alone, leading to paranoia and a feeling of separateness from the Divine. This is often linked to low "mana" (life force energy).

This Awareness indicates that low mana can be an indication of an imbalance in the physical system, possibly due to altered attitudes, unhappy or frustrated feelings, or negative attitudes that affect chemical balance, leading to the body's inability to utilize vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and hormones. Such imbalances can diminish mana, leaving one feeling separate and isolated. Improper dieting and stress can also cause imbalances. Hypoglycemia is linked to stress and diet, particularly sugar consumption. The organs may not function properly, or adrenaline may be affected.

This Awareness explains that dietary stress, missing nutrients, or toxins can contribute to hypoglycemia. It notes that grains turn quickly to sugar, proteins digest slower, and carbonated water and alcohol also convert to sugar. These imbalances can affect one's aura or mana, leading to a feeling of let-down, even with breathing exercises. Planetary effects, like the sun being opposite one's birth date, can also cause weakness.

Mana Strongest on Full Moons & Birthdays: The moon being opposite the sun sign is another time of vulnerability. Mana is generally stronger during full moons and at one's birthday. Strengthening mana through good health, proper vitamins, minerals, diet, and physical exercise is key to avoiding fear, which is often a physical feeling of low blood sugar. Depression is also linked to low blood sugar. Physical symptoms can reflect mental attitudes, and chronic attitudes can lead to chronic dis-ease.

If experiencing emotional fear, a physical check-up for vitamin/mineral balances is recommended. The use of Bach Flower remedies is suggested to adjust attitudes like fear, anger, or resentment, allowing new attitudes to enter and alter disease patterns. Prolonged anger and stress, leading to chronic adrenaline flow without release, can cause circulatory problems, diabetes, heart disease, and rashes.

How to be Cancer-Prone (The "Poor Me" Attitude) Attitudes associated with cancer are triggered by feelings of rejection, a poor self-image, not belonging, and losing touch with what is vital. Dwelling on these feelings can make an entity cancer-prone. An angry person is less likely to be cancer-prone, though they might also experience the "poor me" attitude without resignation. Resignation and the "poor me, poor rejected or alienated me" attitude are closely associated with the cancer-type. Jealousy and envy can lead to headaches, backaches, liver problems, and other ailments.

How to Get a 'Quick Shot' of Mana For a temporary boost of mana (about an hour), carbohydrates like fruit, sugar, or grains can be used. Grains provide longer-lasting energy than sugar, which offers the quickest build-up. For general strength and endurance, overcoming hypoglycemia tendencies, sufficient calcium and protein are recommended, with a stability that lasts for days or weeks.

Mood swings are linked to relying on sweets and carbohydrates. Sustained use of protein and calcium, along with a steady diet, helps avoid mood swings that lead to fear and isolation.

The Acid-Alkaline Foods Needed It is suggested that 80% of one's diet should be alkaline-forming foods, while 20% should be acid-forming foods. Alkaline-forming foods often have an acid-like flavor in the mouth. Acid-forming foods, such as proteins and dairy products, create steadiness and strength in the body, helping to ward off viruses. An acidity level that is too low (less than 20% acid-forming foods) can lead to mood swings, weakness, and vulnerability to colds or viruses. Urine tests can determine acidity levels.

Chicken Soup to Ward off Colds Strong protein is helpful during colds. For flu with fever, limiting protein and increasing liquid intake (juices, water, teas) is advised. Deep breathing can help build mana for healing, and those around a sick person can also breathe deeply to send energy to the sick individual's Higher Self for healing.

How to Make Prayer Really Work Prayer is effective in healing when entities pray together for another's welfare, essentially sending mana to the Higher Self. Deep breathing and consuming food that raises blood sugar before praying can enhance the effectiveness of this mana transfer for healing.

The Law of Suggestion The Law of Suggestion states that a statement carries impact. In healing, a healer can use suggestion, for example, stating that a healing will last for a certain number of months, after which other forces within the psyche can continue the healing. This can be beneficial for those who find it difficult to accept permanent healing.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance The recurring themes in this issue revolve around health, alternative healing methods, and the importance of spiritual and mental well-being. The editorial stance, particularly in Dr. Renner's bulletin, is critical of unsubstantiated health claims, specifically targeting the promotion of hydrogen peroxide as a cure-all. It emphasizes scientific validity, warns against dangerous practices, and promotes safer, evidence-based approaches like SOD and proper nutrition. The publication also delves into metaphysical concepts like mana, fear, and the power of suggestion and prayer, suggesting a holistic approach to health that integrates physical, mental, and spiritual aspects. The historical perspective on hydrogen peroxide use provides a counterpoint to the contemporary warnings, highlighting the evolving understanding and application of such substances.
