This issue of Revelations of Awareness, subtitled 'The New Age Cosmic Newsletter,' presents a 'SPECIAL C.A.C. REPORT' titled 'THE BINDING OF SATAN' with the subtitle 'FOR THE NEXT 1000 YEARS WITH YOUR HELP!'. The cover features a prominent pentagram with a demonic face and is accompanied by a shadowy figure. The content delves into the perceived rise of Satanism and Neo-Nazi groups in the 1990s, offering an interpretation from 'Cosmic Awareness' channeled through Paul Shockley.

Satanism on the Rise in U.S. - Skin Heads and Neo-Nazi Groups

The issue addresses a question from J.H. of Garwin, Texas, regarding the increasing visibility of Neo-Nazi groups and whether 'Awareness' has provided information on this trend. Cosmic Awareness confirms this is a growing threat, stemming from a backlash against dominant energies and forces in the nation. It draws a parallel to business competition, where leaders become targets. The text suggests that while the Anti-Defamation League and Jewish organizations have worked to combat anti-Semitism, this has inadvertently created a reverse fear and hostility among certain entities, leading some to align with Nazi ideologies.

However, the primary threat identified for the 1990s is not Neo-Nazis but Satanists, who are described as having grown stronger and possessing more devious motives, greater cruelty, and a higher capacity for harm than Neo-Nazis. This is seen as potentially leading to a new type of Armageddon.

Three Types of Entities on Earth Plane Today

Cosmic Awareness categorizes entities into three types: those embodying Christ-like love and clarity, those associated with a Luciferian attitude of deception and self-importance, and those termed 'Satanic,' who find joy in the suffering of others and seek power to inflict harm.

Satanism Created by Man

The publication strongly asserts that Satan is not a real being but a creation of man, similar to the 'conjuring up Phillip' experiment where a personality was constructed from various written characteristics. This 'information processing' created a character that began to communicate. Similarly, Satan is presented as a personification of the planet Saturn, later adapted by Persians and then integrated into Western mysticism. The text argues that prior to this, there was no Satan, and that modern worship of Satan is the worship of a personified force.

The Binding of Satan

This section details a ritualistic 'binding of Satan' that involves visualizing a ball of White Light to enclose the concept of Satan. This is described as a method to neutralize its alleged power and bring it into its proper place as an illusion. The ritual involves visualizing White Light wrapping around the concept of Satan three times in different directions, then painting little smiley faces on this ball of light. The act is presented as a way for individuals to participate in weakening the influence of Satanic energies and freeing themselves and others from its alleged power.

Will the Binding of Satan Last 1000 Years?

Responding to a follow-up question, Cosmic Awareness states that the 'one thousand years' mentioned in the Book of Revelation is an arbitrary symbol for a long time and that the binding can last forever if entities choose. It suggests that if entities have learned from this, they will discard the mythology of Satan. The analogy of a child outgrowing the fear of bogeymen or Santa Claus is used to illustrate how belief in such figures can be dismissed once their illusory nature is understood.

Will the Binding Lessen the Power of the Illuminati?

Another follow-up question asks if the binding of Satan will interfere with the Illuminati's use of satanic forces. Cosmic Awareness indicates that this action will eventually die out as people become more aware that concepts like Santa Claus and Satan are figments of imagination. It notes that while there is power in these concepts, it stems from belief and mutual pacts, not from a real entity. The text also discusses how conspiracy groups maintain power through coercion, blackmail, and the exploitation of members' involvement in crimes.

The Infiltration: The Seduction of the Young: Perversions, Bestiality, Ritual Human Sacrifice

This section addresses a question about media exposure of Satanic groups and whether they are being used as scapegoats. Cosmic Awareness acknowledges that Satanic groups have existed for thousands of years but have become more noxious in recent times, spreading their teachings to young people and engaging in ritual sacrifices, perversions, and bestiality. It highlights the extreme polarity of these activities and the need for society to be aware. The text distinguishes between the philosophies of Satan and Bael and the practices of witchcraft, noting that while some witchcraft groups embrace Satanic values, they are more aligned with Luciferian concepts.

Satanism vs. Luciferianism and Fundamentalist Slander

Cosmic Awareness clarifies that the history of Bael, a concept associated with cruelty and destruction, is distinct from the more refined teachings of the Shemites, which eventually evolved into Christian gods. It states that linking Wicca with Satanism is an error, as witchcraft is more aligned with Luciferian qualities of deception rather than Satanic cruelty. The text also criticizes fundamentalist Christians for slandering New Age groups by labeling anything outside their narrow belief system as satanic, which is seen as a tactic to maintain loyalty within their own groups.

What Satanists Believe

Satanists are described as being in total opposition to Christian teachings of mercy and goodness. They embrace concepts that oppose the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule, viewing love as power and finding superiority in harming others. Their goal is to achieve godhood through the absence of rules and inhibitions regarding mercy, justice, and normal social values.

Possible Tragedy for Christian Religion

The publication warns that the Christian religion faces tragedy if it continues to label everything outside its narrow belief as satanic, potentially causing backlash and violence between religious groups. It suggests that Satanists may infiltrate groups to stir up such conflicts. The text emphasizes that the times are changing, and if people stop labeling each other as Satanists based on differing philosophies, these groups will be exposed and become ineffective.

For New Age Groups--Discernment Needed

Entities seeking power through separateness, hostility, and cruelty are seen as isolating themselves. Redemption is possible only by rejoining Universal Consciousness and seeking forgiveness. The text notes that many New Age groups are highly spiritual, and the term 'New Age' is often misused. It reiterates that there is no connection between New Age groups and Satanism, despite the latter being sometimes associated with cults.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring theme throughout this issue is the nature of Satanism, presented not as a literal entity but as a man-made concept and a personification of negative energies and human misdeeds. The 'Cosmic Awareness' channeled messages advocate for a spiritual approach to combating these negative forces through understanding, visualization, and the concept of 'White Light.' The publication appears to promote a New Age spiritual perspective that seeks to demystify and neutralize perceived negative influences by understanding their illusory nature and actively engaging in spiritual practices like binding rituals. The editorial stance is critical of fundamentalist interpretations that label diverse spiritual practices as satanic and emphasizes the importance of discernment and a broader understanding of spiritual concepts.

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" (Issue 11) from Cosmic Awareness Communications delves into the complex interplay between New Age beliefs, Christianity, and the phenomenon of Satanism. The publication aims to provide insights and understanding on these often misunderstood topics.

New Age and Christianity

The publication posits that many New Age groups are, in fact, Christian groups with potentially greater spiritual connection. It stresses the importance of discerning between groups with good intentions, even if they are confused, and those who embrace darkness. The text suggests that the Christian religion must evolve, incorporating scientific discoveries about the universe and multidimensional realities to survive. It criticizes the literal interpretation of religious dogma and advocates for an esoteric understanding of spiritual texts.

Satanism: Prevalence and Attraction

A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to Satanism. It addresses the question of how widespread Satanism is in the United States, with one ex-FBI agent estimating up to eight million practitioners, though the publication suggests this figure might be high. The issue explores the attraction of Satanism to educated professionals, suggesting it stems from ambition, a desire for power, and the use of blackmail in advanced stages. It details how individuals can be drawn into cults, often through personal connections, and the progression from minor transgressions to more severe acts, including human sacrifice.

The publication distinguishes between various forms of Satanism and other metaphysical or witchcraft groups, noting that while some overlap exists, they are not identical. It also touches upon the connection between Satanism and the Illuminati, suggesting that while the term 'Illuminati' is broad, a specific Satanist group uses the term and has roots in the historical Bavarian Illuminati.

The Dangers of Satanism and Media Influence

The issue highlights the extreme nature of some satanic rituals, including the consumption of hearts of living victims, and emphasizes that practitioners seek to be devoid of all moral and spiritual laws. It also critiques the influence of certain rock music bands, such as Black Sabbath, AC/DC, and Ozzy Osbourne, whose lyrics are accused of corrupting youth and promoting violence, suicide, and dark themes. The publication supports the idea of a rating system for music, similar to movie ratings, to inform consumers about the content.

Media Portrayals and Misconceptions

The publication questions the accuracy of media portrayals of Satanism, citing a Geraldo Rivera show and a tabloid story about a teenager's death. It suggests that some stories are fabricated for sensationalism and to warn young people away from summoning Satan. It also addresses the credibility of individuals who claim to have been involved in Satanism and are now 'Born-Again Christians,' suggesting that this background can actually explain their change of allegiance.

Legal and Societal Implications

The issue discusses the potential for anti-Satanism laws, noting that while laws against murder are sufficient, rooting out ritual sacrifices is difficult. It also warns that such laws could infringe upon constitutional rights, such as freedom of religion. The publication suggests that public opinion and awareness are the greatest weapons against Satanic churches.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The overarching theme is the exploration and demystification of phenomena often shrouded in fear and misunderstanding, particularly Satanism and its perceived connection to New Age movements. The publication adopts a stance of providing information and analysis from a 'Cosmic Awareness' perspective, encouraging discernment and understanding rather than blind acceptance or fear. It advocates for a more esoteric and less dogmatic approach to spirituality and criticizes the sensationalism often found in media coverage of these topics. The editorial stance appears to be one of caution regarding the dangers of Satanism while also seeking to educate the public and promote a more nuanced understanding of spiritual and metaphysical concepts.

This issue of The Olympian, dated Tuesday, June 13, 1989, focuses heavily on allegations of satanic cult activity and ritualistic crimes, primarily in Washington State. The main cover story, "Satanic ritual claim baffles Mason cops," by Brad Sevetson, details the claims of Ted Gunderson, a retired FBI agent, who alleges numerous victims of satanic sacrifices are buried in Mason County. The issue also includes related articles on teen-agers and satanic cults, a confession from the 'godmother' of a Mexican cult involved in killings, and a Senate panel hearing on the subject.

Satanic Ritual Claim Baffles Mason Cops

Brad Sevetson's lead article reports on Ted Gunderson's televised claim of satanic ritual sacrifices and burial sites in Mason County, Washington. Gunderson, a retired FBI agent, stated he had information about seven burial grounds, one potentially containing 20 bodies. However, Mason County authorities, including Lt. Howard Armfield, expressed frustration and a lack of evidence, stating Gunderson had not provided concrete details. Dick Thurston, spokesman for the state FBI, confirmed Gunderson's retired status but was unaware of any such allegations in the county. The article notes that rumors of satanic activity have previously plagued the county, linked to unsolved disappearances and murders. Gunderson, who headed the FBI's Los Angeles office, described satanic activity as a nationwide problem affecting hundreds of thousands to millions of Americans. He linked the 1987 murder of Olympia resident Larry A. Gearon to cult activity, claiming Gearon was an undercover informant. Gunderson expressed a belief that law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, are not taking the problem seriously.

Weird Stuff? It Does Happen in South Sound

This section compiles several odd incidents from Olympian files that suggest cult activity in the South Sound region. These include reports of a man warned away from a road due to ongoing rituals, a mare found dead with its genitals excised, a cow skull with its brain removed found on a college campus, and mutilated goats and horses found in various locations, some with genitals removed.

Satanic

This continuation of the main story elaborates on Gunderson's claims. He stated he had discussed satanic activities with Mason County Sheriff Bob Holter, a claim the sheriff's office denies. Gunderson linked the unsolved 1987 murder of Larry A. Gearon to occult activity, stating Gearon was an informant. Gunderson also mentioned a man arrested in October 1988 in Los Angeles for murder, allegedly connected to the Gearon case. He did not link the Mason County burial sites to the current Thurston County case involving former deputy sheriff Paul Ingram and two other men, but noted the Ingram case involved a high-profile community member. Gunderson believes that worshipers of Satan often possess wealth and power, contributing to the subject's mystery. He stated his motivation is that "nobody's doing it" and that he feels ignored.

Boy is arrested in shotgun death of girl

A brief report details the arrest of a 12-year-old boy in connection with the shooting death of a 17-year-old girl in South Seattle. The death was ruled accidental or intentional pending investigation. A pentagram was found drawn on a chalkboard in the girl's home, but police stated it related to rock music, not a Satanic cult.

JOHN TODD EXPOSES SATANIC BLOOD RITUALS IN HIGH PLACES

This is an advertisement for a cassette tape by John Todd, who claims to have been a practicing member of the Rothschild Illuminati and witnessed ritual murders. Cosmic Awareness Communications previously indicated the information on the tape is valid.

Doubts cast on satanic cult rumors

James Wallace reports on a Senate Law and Justice Committee hearing where few facts emerged to substantiate recent rumors of Satanic activity in Washington state. Witnesses included a hooded woman, Mrs. Parks, who claimed her daughter was held captive by a satanic cult and that law enforcement was infiltrated. Another woman, Janet, claimed to have witnessed ritualistic murders of pregnant women and cannibalism. Sen. Bob McCaslin questioned Janet's testimony. Democrats Phil Talmadge and Janice Niemi did not attend, with Talmadge expressing skepticism. Committee members, including Kent Pullen, expressed conviction about ritualistic activity involving victims, particularly child victims, but were less certain about human sacrifice allegations. Rasmussen suggested the state patrol or attorney general's office investigate. Didi Prentice, a chaplain, testified that she interviewed youngsters who claimed involvement in satanic cults, some of whom described rituals that included murder.

Cult 'godmother' confesses

This article reports that Sara Aldrete Villarreal, the alleged 'godmother' of a drug-smuggling cult that killed 15 people along the U.S. border, has confessed to participating in ritual slayings. She and two others were charged in the deaths of their leader and his second-in-command. Authorities believe Villarreal and the cult leader directed human sacrifices, mutilations, and boiling of brains for occult protection. Villarreal, who has a dual personality, reportedly confessed to conspiracy and involvement in ritual killings when speaking to police.

Teen-agers may dabble in satanic cults, drugs

Written by June O'Brien, this piece discusses the phenomenon of adolescent 'dabblers' in the occult, who are fascinated by satanism but not necessarily members of cults. These individuals may pray to Satan, be absorbed by images of violence, and use satanic symbols. O'Brien notes that these youths are often troubled, seeking power, belonging, and attention, and are frequently involved with drugs. The article distinguishes these 'dabblers' from victims of satanic cults who experience more severe ritual sexual abuse and ritualistic death. O'Brien outlines six points learned from working with victims and professionals, including the population's 'threshold of belief,' the negation of societal values by cults, the involvement of cults in drug traffic, the exploitation of adolescents, fragmented memories of victims, and the possibility of being programmed not to remember or to fear retribution.

Woman describes bizarre satanic rites and sexual abuse

George Foster reports on a mother of five who testified in a pretrial hearing about alleged sexual abuse by a former Thurston County Deputy Sheriff, James Rabie, and a State Patrol mechanic, Raymond Risch. She also described a satanic rite in 1978 where another woman, identified as 'Dana,' participated and pledged allegiance to Satan. The witness claimed Ingram held her down while Rabie and Risch abused her. Attorneys for Rabie and Risch attempted to discredit her testimony due to the 15-year delay in reporting. The charges against Rabie and Risch date back to 1981 and involve allegations of rape and statutory rape against the witness and her two daughters. Ingram, a former Republican Party chairman, faces similar charges and is expected to testify against Rabie and Risch. Most of the allegations of forced sex and satanic rites date back to the 1970s.

Texas grand jury indicts 11 satanic cult suspects on drug charges

This article details a Texas grand jury indictment of 11 suspects, including the 'godfather' of a drug-smuggling cult, on drug charges. The cult is accused of killing 15 people, including Mark Kilroy, a Texas student. Statements from accused members described dismemberment and ritualistic ceremonies involving human sacrifices, with brains and other body parts removed. The accused allegedly offered protection in exchange for sacrifices.

Suspects give details of Mexican cult killings

This report from Mexico City details the confessions of suspects in the ritual mutilation-slayings of 15 people along the U.S. border. Alvaro de Leon Valdez, a cult member, stated that cult leader Adolfo de Jesus Constanzo ordered him to kill Constanzo and his second-in-command to avoid a bad afterlife. Valdez killed them with a machine gun. Sara Maria Aldrete Villarreal, described as the 'witch' of the cult, denied involvement in the slayings but admitted to following Constanzo. The cult allegedly used human sacrifices, mutilations, and boiling of brains for occult protection and dealt mostly in marijuana. The bodies of victims, including Mark Kilroy, were found buried on a ranch in Matamoros. The cult's practices involved a blend of Catholicism and African beliefs, with Santeria and voodoo influences.

Memo to the Membership: July 1989

This memo from Cosmic Awareness Communications (CAC) addresses several points. It announces a special report on Satanism, compiled due to public awareness being key to its demise. It explains delays in mailings due to staff breaks and financial issues, including the need to pay for readings by 'the Interpreter.' The memo also states that DS-Cells are no longer available and that orders cannot be filled, with refunds or credit offered. Joe Dun Sloan, the presumed maker of these cells, has reportedly disappeared into Mexico. The memo also announces the retirement of Siegfried, a dog companion of the staff for 14 years, and recommends the movie 'Field of Dreams' for its theme of love and belief creating reality. It thanks members for suggestions on computer ribbon sources.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring theme throughout this issue is the pervasive and dangerous nature of Satanic cults, their involvement in ritualistic crimes including human sacrifice and sexual abuse, and the alleged infiltration of these cults into various levels of society and law enforcement. The editorial stance, as expressed by Ted Gunderson and implied by the content of Cosmic Awareness Communications, is that public awareness is crucial to combating these practices. There is a strong emphasis on the need to take these allegations seriously, despite a perceived lack of concrete evidence and official acknowledgment. The issue also highlights the intersection of cult activity with drug trafficking and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals, particularly young people. The publication appears to advocate for a proactive approach to understanding and addressing these issues, while cautioning against hysteria.
