This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" (Issue No. 448) delves deeply into the concept of "Resist Not Evil," exploring its multifaceted meanings and practical applications. The cover features a stark image of a confrontation between police and civilians, with the headline "RESIST NOT EVIL (Part 2)" setting the tone for the issue's central theme.
Should We Refute and Confront Evil and Error or Practice Passive Resistance?
The primary question addressed is whether to resist evil and error or to practice passive resistance, particularly in the context of potential alien threats. Cosmic Awareness explains that "Resist Not Evil," as taught by Jesus, is a metaphorical principle. It suggests not resisting an attack in a way that escalates it, but rather defusing it by opening oneself to the adversary's message or allowing them to express themselves without opposition. This is likened to martial arts techniques where one uses an opponent's energy to throw them off balance, rather than directly resisting the force.
Becoming combative with a perceived evil force is seen as giving it energy. The principle is not to accept evil, but to defuse it by not recognizing its power and maintaining one's own inner light, thus leaving the force with nothing to strike against.
The Principle of Non-Resistance and Its Exceptions
While passive resistance, as exemplified by Gandhi, is discussed, the text clarifies that it is not always effective. The example of entities sent to Nazi concentration camps who were passively destroyed highlights the limitations of pure passive resistance. However, it is acknowledged that passive resistance can turn consciousness against brutality, as seen in the aftermath of World War II.
The message is essentially about not resisting the attack itself, but rather diverting the energy. This can involve opening communication, allowing the adversary to strike, or using techniques to throw them off balance. The core idea is to avoid fueling the negative energy.
Recognizing the Non-Existence of Evil
Cosmic Awareness posits that evil stems from a misconception of separateness – the belief that one is set apart from the rest of the universe. This illusion of separateness allows entities to believe they are above universal laws and can act without consequence. By reminding entities of their connectedness to others and the universe, this illusion can be broken.
When an entity acts with malice, it's not about denying the event but about understanding its root in separateness and ignorance. The goal is to remind the violator of their interconnectedness, which can reduce their ability to act maliciously.
The Power of Attention and Dealing with Negative Forces
Attention is presented as a powerful force that can heal or destroy. Giving attention to negative behavior strengthens it. Conversely, withholding attention can force an entity to confront their own actions and potentially change. The text suggests that dealing with "demons" involves modifying their behavior and wrapping them in light and love, rather than trying to destroy them, which only gives them more energy.
The Zoroastrian Philosophy and the Nature of Evil
The issue touches upon the Zoroastrian philosophy of good and evil, suggesting that the concept of evil as a separate force is a distortion. It is proposed that entities did not always classify things as good or evil but simply saw events as they were. The idea that evil is a necessary part of divine experience or a test from God is refuted.
The Story of the Prodigal Son and Experiential Learning
The parable of the Prodigal Son is used to illustrate how entities may stray from the path of perfection to experience error and learn from it. This experiential learning, even through mistakes and what might be classed as evil, is seen as crucial for developing individuality and a deeper understanding of the consequences of separateness.
The New World Order and the Use of Power
The latter part of the magazine discusses the "New World Order," suggesting it may be implemented gradually and subtly, possibly without significant disturbance to most people. It also touches upon the concept of power, differentiating between external and internal power, and warning against the misuse of power, which is subject to the Law of Karma.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual consciousness, the nature of good and evil, the importance of non-resistance and discernment, and the interconnectedness of all beings. The editorial stance, as conveyed by Cosmic Awareness, emphasizes understanding the underlying principles rather than literal interpretations, encouraging individuals to develop their inner awareness and make conscious choices that promote harmony and reduce suffering. The publication advocates for a nuanced approach to dealing with negativity, focusing on defusing rather than confronting, and understanding the roots of harmful behavior in separateness and ignorance.
This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" from March 7, 1995, titled "The Calm Before the Storm," delves into a variety of spiritual, political, and economic topics. The publication presents itself as a channel for 'Awareness,' offering insights and guidance on personal development, societal structures, and potential future events. The issue is characterized by its critical stance on established institutions and its focus on individual empowerment and spiritual understanding.
Personal Power and External Control
The lead article, "This Awareness indicates that entities struggle..." explores the concept of power. It distinguishes between external power, often sought through social status, authority, or even substances like drugs, and internal power, which is inherent and discovered within oneself. The text suggests that many people lose their innate personal power by seeking external validation and trying to please others, becoming subservient in the process. It advocates for reclaiming personal power by ceasing to 'cater' to others and by developing a sense of self-worth and individuality. The advice includes using last names in professional settings to create a respectful distance and assert personal authority.
Political and Economic Illegality
A significant portion of the magazine addresses perceived illegality within governmental and financial institutions. The "Redress of Grievances" section posits that the United States government, particularly the Federal Reserve Bank and the IRS, operates as a quasi-government and a corporation, acting outside the bounds of the Constitution. It claims that the income tax was never legally ratified and that the Federal Reserve Bank's creation of money is unauthorized. The publication suggests that challenging these entities could lead to legal and political conflicts, with potential treason charges for those who continue to operate illegally.
Global Economic Collapse
Under the heading "A GLOBAL ECONOMIC COLLAPSE IS SEEN OCCURRING WITHIN THE NEXT 18 MONTHS," the magazine predicts a widespread economic downturn. It cites the propping up of the Mexican Peso as a factor that has pushed the US closer to collapse. The article points to economic instability in various countries, including Russia, France, and Japan, and highlights the precarious state of major banks like the Warburg bank. The Federal Reserve and the Rothschild economic program are seen as teetering on the brink of collapse. The potential for this collapse to be artificially caused to usher in the New World Order is raised, but it also presents an opportunity for a return to constitutional monetary controls.
Interdimensional Beings and Psychic Phenomena
Several sections address encounters with non-physical entities and psychic experiences. The "Something Scary Crawled Under Her Covers!" section describes an experience with what is identified as an interdimensional energy, possibly offended by the individual's philosophical explorations. It suggests that deficiencies in vitamins, particularly the B complex, can create openings for such entities. The issue also discusses Joan of Arc's visions, attributing them partly to dietary deficiencies and a natural sensitivity. It offers advice on preventing spirit possession through vitamin supplements and maintaining a healthy metabolism.
Environmental Colors and Spirits
The magazine explores how colors in one's environment can influence the types of spirits or energies that enter a domain. Dark, gloomy homes are seen as attracting somber energies, while light and bright homes tend to attract spirits seeking pleasure. The color red is noted as attracting astral energies, though a small amount can provide energy. Orange is described as pacifying emotions, yellow as beneficial for mental focus, pink as driving out negative spirits, blue as creating a feeling of passive acceptance, and violet as soothing or passionate.
"Operation Harp" and Underground Aliens
Regarding "Operation Harp," the publication suggests it is related to gathering information about subterranean life forms, specifically mentioning Orion Greys and Zeta Reticuli Greys who prefer tunnel networks. The unusual public mention of such activities is seen as part of an effort to assess the situation regarding underground alien populations.
The Book "You Are Becoming a Galactic Human"
The rapid spread of the book "You Are Becoming a Galactic Human" is discussed. Awareness indicates that if more people become alerted and prepared through such information, they will be better able to adjust to future events, reducing alarm and confusion.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue include the importance of individual empowerment and self-awareness, a deep skepticism and critique of established governmental and financial systems, and a belief in the existence of non-physical entities and phenomena. The editorial stance is one of warning and preparation, urging readers to understand the perceived threats and to reclaim their personal power and connection to constitutional principles. The publication positions itself as a source of esoteric knowledge intended to help individuals navigate impending societal and spiritual changes.
This Awareness indicates that in any action wherein an entity takes a psychic or mental position of being separated from others, wherein you see yourself not as being one with others, but as being separate, you develop that which is a sense of separation, a sense of self, and a sense of being a separate ego, and in this action there will be error in your relationships with others, and this error will lead to your own personal suffering, as well as the suffering of others.
