This issue of "Revelations of Awareness", a New Age Cosmic Newsletter, focuses on "Channeling-Spirituality & Free will." The cover features symbolic artwork and portraits, with the main headline highlighting the central themes. The publication is from Cosmic Awareness Communications, located in Olympia, Washington.
Channeling, Free Will, and the New Age
The central article addresses a question about whether entities practicing trance states are slaves to other spirits or entities. Cosmic Awareness explains that while it does not advocate for entities becoming mediums for spirits, some highly evolved individuals can channel without being subjugated. It clarifies that the "Interpreter" for Cosmic Awareness is not a spirit but is attuning to Universal Consciousness. The text emphasizes that channeling is not a measure of spiritual development and can even hinder personal growth if overdone.
The 'Myth' of Free Will
This section delves into the concept of free will, with a question suggesting it might be a myth, with actions driven by unconscious compulsion, karmic patterns, or conscious choices based on attention and response. Cosmic Awareness agrees that entities have very little personal will, often acting based on programming instilled by others. It suggests that the closest one comes to free will is in choosing one's attitude toward life's experiences. The text critiques blanket statements about hypnosis and psychic information, urging individuals to examine messages and sources for credibility.
Interpreters and Cosmic Awareness
The issue discusses the role of interpreters for Cosmic Awareness, noting that there are many ways for this Awareness to communicate. It addresses the potential retirement of the current interpreter, Paul Shockley, and the possibility of other interpreters emerging. The text highlights that each interpreter is unique and that clarity and sensitivity are crucial for accurate interpretation. It also touches upon past misunderstandings in channeling, using the example of chakra interpretations.
Specific Incidents and Environmental Concerns
Several specific topics are addressed:
- Lee Michaels' Channels: The issue touches upon the development of channels by Lee Michaels, with some reportedly dying or going insane, suggesting it was due to his strong will and influence, combined with psionic attacks.
- Jane Roberts: The death of Jane Roberts is discussed, with a mention of her being confined to an institution due to emotional and mental problems, and a possible link to psionic attacks and depletion of her energy.
- Psionic Attacks: The possibility of the interpreter being psionically attacked again is raised, with suggestions for defense using crystals and mentally reflecting negative energy back to the sender.
- Whales Attacking a Ship: A story about 60 whales attacking and sinking a sailing ship off Costa Rica is explained as a result of internal frustrations, possibly due to pollution, and a triggered genetic memory of whaling ships.
- Potato Crops Dying: The dying of potato crops is linked to the depletion of soil humus due to excessive chemical fertilizer use and the potential impact of a depleting ozone shield.
- Ground Water and Mercury Poisoning: Advice is given on cleaning up ground water using filters and distillers. For mercury poisoning, chelation treatments are suggested, and hair analysis is recommended to check for mercury levels.
The New Age Movement
The rise of the New Age movement in the United States is discussed, noting a shift from simplistic religious interpretations to metaphysical and New Age messages. The movement is described as nebulous and lacking a clear definition, leading to confusion among the masses. The article points out that while some entities fear it as being of the devil, it is gaining traction and influencing the market, particularly in music.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual consciousness, the nature of reality, and the challenges of navigating the modern world through a New Age lens. The editorial stance, as conveyed by "Cosmic Awareness," is one of encouraging critical thinking, personal discernment, and a cautious approach to channeled information. It emphasizes the importance of individual spiritual growth and the potential dangers of external influences, whether spiritual, psychological, or environmental. The publication advocates for understanding, questioning, and self-discovery rather than blind acceptance of any message, regardless of its source.
Title: REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS
Issue Date: June 23, 1989
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Document Type: Magazine Issue
This issue of Revelations of Awareness delves into several distinct topics, including concerns surrounding the Galileo space launch, health advice for multiple sclerosis, the spiritual concept of Maitreya and the New Age, the philosophical implications of truth and lies, and an analysis of a controversial UFO photograph.
Plutonium in Space: The Galileo Launch
The issue addresses a question regarding the Christic Institute's alert about the planned October launch of the Galileo spacecraft, which uses plutonium for its power source. The Christic Institute claims plutonium is the deadliest metal known and fears a 'Chernobyl in the Sky' scenario. Cosmic Awareness assesses the risk as not great but acknowledges a potential hazard if something goes wrong, citing the Challenger incident as a precedent. However, it suggests the plutonium assembly is designed to minimize immediate problems and that retrieval would occur if it fell into the sea. The Awareness also notes that there appears to be an undisclosed purpose behind this launch, not fully clear at this time, which may involve conducting tests not possible with other substances. It is unlikely that the launch will be significantly delayed or stopped.
How to Deal with Multiple Sclerosis
A question from S.J. in Port Alberni, B.C., seeks advice on helping a friend diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Cosmic Awareness suggests that blueberries, particularly stewed in their own juices, offer benefits due to Vitamin C and trace minerals. It also indicates that high doses of Vitamin C can be valuable in helping to cure the disease. Other beneficial elements mentioned include cold water fish oil, beta-carotene, lemon, citrus fruits, kiwi, hydrogen peroxide, germanium, and L-Tryptophane. Chelation treatment is also noted for improving circulation and balancing the hormone and metabolism systems.
More on "The Rapture"... Will it Take "Lord Maitreya" to Bring in the New Age?
This section addresses the concept of Maitreya, a figure promoted by Benjamin Creme and the Terra Center as a 'world teacher' and a key figure in the coming New Age. Cosmic Awareness clarifies that this is a promotion by certain secret organizations, not a divinely ordained event. While acknowledging that spiritual representatives have emerged in the past, this is not seen as destined. The New Age is described as an inevitable shift occurring due to planetary changes and the Earth's movement into the Aquarian Age, influenced by technological advancements and shifts in social consciousness. The 'Christ Consciousness' or 'Buddha Consciousness' is presented as the true 'Second Coming,' an internal awakening rather than the arrival of a single external figure. The concept of 'rapture' is explained as being lifted by this Divine Light. The 'miracles' attributed to Maitreya, such as healing the blind and those with AIDS, are described as being 'planted' and exaggerated by the Terra Center to create a sense of urgency for the New Age, potentially involving a staged extraterrestrial event to facilitate societal and technological changes.
Healing Energies from Awareness
This section is a message from Cosmic Awareness sending healing energies to its membership and energizers. It emphasizes the need for receptivity and the removal of negativities like guilt or hostility to allow the energies to have their full effect, which can address physical, emotional, relational, financial, and career difficulties. These energies are visualized as billions of tiny white lights being gathered and directed through entities like Avaton and Vikki, to be transmitted through mailings.
A Word About the Economics of Running C.A.C.
This section discusses the financial aspects of operating Cosmic Awareness Communications. It highlights the reliance on membership dues, donations, and sales of products. The organization faces significant expenses for equipment, paper, and supplies, which can be unpredictable. The Interpreter is paid a fee, and the entity 'Avaton' sometimes supplements the organization's funds from his personal business to keep it afloat. The Awareness requests supplemental income from the membership to help offset recent difficulties and costs, including increased readings and setbacks in Avaton's personal finances. It notes that the organization rarely asks for increased donations but suggests it is beneficial at this time, especially given the potential for the Interpreter to become involved in other activities.
What Happens When You Tell a Lie?
This section explores the nature of truth and lies from a karmic and essential perspective. Cosmic Awareness states that motivation is key to the karmic effect of lying. On an essential level, all expressions are seen as both lies and truths, and matter itself is illusion. Words are considered reflections of essence, not the essence itself, making absolute truth or falsity difficult to define. The concept of guilt is described as a conflict between ideals and actions, and it is suggested that lowering ideals to a more achievable level is preferable to living with guilt. While certain statements can create truth (e.g., 'I am speaking now'), others are inherently lies (e.g., 'I am not speaking to you'). The Awareness concludes that it is impossible to completely avoid lying or be totally honest, as words and even silence can contain falsities. It advises focusing on motivation and the desire for reconciliation rather than strictly adhering to the literal truth of words, as feelings are transient.
"World's Most Controversial Photo"
This section addresses a question about a photograph allegedly published in a German newspaper in the 1940s, depicting FBI agents with a silver-clad occupant of a flying saucer. Cosmic Awareness identifies this photograph as a hoax, stating it does not depict FBI agents or an alien. It appears to be a small person or child in specific attire, created to give a false impression. However, the Awareness acknowledges that entities of different humanoid types have indeed been encountered by the U.S. government.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of consciousness, spiritual evolution, and the interpretation of phenomena. Cosmic Awareness consistently emphasizes the importance of motivation, inner states, and the energetic shifts occurring on the planet. The editorial stance appears to be one of providing guidance and clarification on spiritual, health, and societal matters, often demystifying popular beliefs or events by attributing them to energetic shifts, psychological factors, or deliberate promotions rather than solely divine intervention or literal interpretations. There is a consistent effort to encourage self-awareness and a balanced perspective, particularly regarding spiritual figures and potentially alarming events.
