This issue of Revelations focuses on "Understanding the Concept of Christian Salvation (The 'Born Again' Experience)" and explores related spiritual and extraterrestrial themes.

The Concept of Salvation

The opening message addresses the concept of salvation as interpreted by fundamentalist Christians and its relationship to universal spiritual energies. It traces the historical schisms within Christianity, starting with the Protestant break from Catholicism and subsequent divisions. The issue highlights the recent influence of fundamentalist Christianity, particularly its charismatic and emotional aspects, noting its mesmerizing effect on masses and its judgmental nature, which can lead to fanaticism.

This Awareness explains that the "salvation experience" can create fanaticism, making entities seem odd to those who haven't experienced it. It clarifies that this is not an endorsement but an explanation of the experience's intensity and rigidity. The core principles of obtaining salvation in the fundamentalist Christian approach involve the belief that entities are born sinners with no escape except through the grace of Jesus. Karma and the Law of Cause and Effect are dismissed in favor of surrendering to Jesus.

The issue draws parallels between Christian philosophy and Bhakti Yoga, a path of devotion found in Eastern traditions, where followers surrender to a divine messenger or guru. It contrasts this with Gnana Yoga, the yoga of knowledge, which aligns more with a scientific or rational approach. The "New Aquarian Age" is described as being based on Gnana Yoga, moving beyond the belief-based pathways of the Piscean Age.

It is stated that Christianity functions as a Bhakti yoga religion, requiring followers to surrender their personal will to the master, represented by the image of Christ. This surrender is said to lead to forgiveness of past errors and a sense of being reborn. While some find this approach fulfilling, others may lack curiosity. The issue also notes that entities who follow the "good shepherd" are essentially "sheep" who rely on faith and belief in their master.

Spiritual Quick-Fix and Self-Improvement

This Awareness suggests that entities in times of great stress or guilt may seek a "spiritual quick-fix." Techniques like praying for each other and for the Christ Light to heal are beneficial, focusing on the need for healing rather than threatening with hell. This approach is contrasted with the methods of psychiatrists, who charge high fees for individual counseling, while religious ministers, funded by donations, offer a similar service to many.

The issue anticipates that in the next century, group gatherings for "psychiatric confessions" may become common, where individuals share problems and receive positive feedback, similar to religious conversion events.

Other Religions and Salvation

The question is raised whether other religions have a comparable salvation experience. Cosmic Awareness indicates that the Christian approach is unique in its use of accusations, threats, and fear of eternal punishment to emotionally bombard entities. This intense psychological pressure, combined with social ostracization, can lead to a desperate state where entities succumb to hypnotic suggestion from preachers.

Extraterrestrial Interactions and Energy Vampirism

The issue addresses the question of whether aliens eat souls at the moment of death, referencing the book "Extraterrestrial Friends and Foes." While not confirming soul-eating, it states that aliens can draw etheric energy or "life force" from abductees by locking eyes, leaving them depleted. This is likened to psychic vampirism, a phenomenon also observed in some humans.

Regarding the extraction of energy at death, it is clarified that this affects astral and emotional energies, not the soul itself. Such victimization is rare but can occur in those frequently abducted or with karmic connections to certain alien groups.

Manifesting Wealth and Problems

A question is posed about whether benevolent extraterrestrials could manifest precious metals or gems for "Light Workers." Cosmic Awareness states that anything is possible but does not wish to be in a position of facilitating such requests, emphasizing the Law of Gratitude. It suggests that entities who seek shortcuts for funding do so at their own choice.

The issue also discusses problems in trying to manifest money, noting that entities often expect external forces to do the manifesting for them, rather than using their own imagination and effort. This Awareness suggests that entities must give of themselves to create a vacuum for manifestation and that those who only complain about not receiving divine help are spiritual beggars.

"Milk Miracles" and New Messiahs

The "world-wide milk miracles" involving Hindu statues drinking milk are discussed. Cosmic Awareness suggests that such events can be achieved through new technology and are a form of deception to promote a "new Messiah" for the "New World Order." This new Messiah is seen as an effort to replace the old Christian religion with a new form of worship for the Aquarian Age.

The issue critiques the idea of a future return of Jesus, suggesting that his original message implied a return during his disciples' lifetimes. The promotion of Maitreya as a new Messiah is viewed as a strategy to defuse Christianity and impose a new religion.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of spiritual experience, particularly Christian salvation, and its comparison to other spiritual paths like Bhakti and Gnana Yoga. The magazine critiques the manipulative aspects of some religious practices, likening them to hypnotic suggestion, and questions the authenticity of purported miracles, suggesting technological deception.

There is a strong undercurrent of skepticism towards claims of divine intervention when they are used for personal gain or to control others. The publication also explores the concept of extraterrestrial influence, both positive and negative, and the potential for manipulation through spiritual or technological means. The editorial stance appears to favor a more rational, self-empowered approach to spiritual growth, encouraging critical thinking and awareness of potential deceptions.

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" (Issue #115) explores various spiritual and metaphysical concepts, including the nature of consciousness, the impact of hypnosis, the concept of karma, and the illusion of time. The cover story features a testimonial from Jay Attaway about his transformation from drug addiction to sobriety through faith in Jesus.

Can We Direct Our Prayers to Float Either Way in Time?

This section addresses a question about directing prayers into the past or future. Cosmic Awareness explains that it's not a specific method but the direction of intent. While changing the future is generally easier, changing the past may require more faith as it is perceived as settled. The effectiveness of prayers for past events is left as a question for the reader to ponder.

Using Hypnosis to Ingrain God in Your Mind?

Cosmic Awareness discusses the use of hypnosis to deepen one's connection to 'God'. It emphasizes the importance of defining one's concept of God, suggesting that a view of God as compassionate and loving can be beneficial if instilled through self-hypnosis. However, it warns that extreme views or an unhealthy definition of God could lead to fanaticism or harmful fixations. The concept of the 'Golden Mean' is introduced as a balanced approach, avoiding extremes. Caution is advised when using self-hypnosis to maintain balance and reason.

What Does Hypnosis Do With An Entity's Karma?

This section examines the role of hypnosis in dealing with an entity's karma, particularly in the context of addiction and self-improvement. Cosmic Awareness suggests that hypnosis can act as a 'quick fix', potentially allowing entities to avoid consciously dealing with lessons they are meant to master. It questions whether this is a more efficient way to learn or a form of 'karmic procrastination'. The potential pitfalls of using hypnosis to overcome urges or habits are highlighted, with examples of how it could negatively impact life choices, such as sexual expression or enjoyment of food.

How Hypnosis Can Ruin Your Sex Life!

This part illustrates how hypnosis, used to suppress sexual urges, could lead to difficulties later in life, even when an entity desires to start a family. Similarly, it discusses how avoiding certain foods through hypnosis could lead to a loss of appetite and enjoyment of eating.

Use Great Care If You Use Self-Hypnosis

This section reiterates the need for caution with self-hypnosis, advising against losing control of reason and balance. The 'Golden Mean' philosophy is presented as a way to find balance between extremes.

It's Okay to Stray off the Path at Times

This Awareness suggests that occasionally stepping off the 'path' can help one recognize when they are off track and provide a sense of direction to return. It cautions against becoming too fanatical, even about righteousness.

What Does Hypnosis Do With An Entity's Karma? (Continued)

The "Quick-Fix" of Hypnosis Interfere with Karma?

This part continues the discussion on hypnosis and karma. Cosmic Awareness posits that true mastery comes with full awareness of the problem's nature and causes, leading to reconciliation. It likens hypnosis for addiction (like smoking or drinking) to a temporary solution that doesn't necessarily rid the entity of the addiction itself, as the underlying tendency may manifest in other forms.

Becoming Addicted to Patterns of Behavior

This section broadens the concept of addiction beyond substances to include patterns of behavior, speech, and relating. It explains how entities can become fixated on certain ways of acting or speaking, even when these patterns are no longer effective or satisfying.

Many Forms of Addictions & Fixations

This part lists various forms of addiction and fixation, including complaining, excessive talking about oneself, and specific conversational topics. It encourages self-awareness regarding one's thought patterns, behaviors, and environments.

Dumping Crabs and Lobsters in Boiling Water: Do They Feel Any Pain?

Addressing a question prompted by an article about Mary Tyler Moore's advocacy against eating lobsters, Cosmic Awareness explains that the pain experienced by crustaceans when tossed into boiling water is instantaneous, causing shock and paralysis. Within approximately ten seconds, nerves cease transmitting pain, and unconsciousness occurs within five seconds. It concludes that this method of death is not among the crueler forms.

Jesus Leads Addict to Sanity, Sobriety

This is a testimonial by Gail Wood about Jay Attaway, a former drug addict who found healing and a new life through his faith in Jesus. Attaway describes his struggles with various drugs, his near commitment to a mental hospital, and how his mother's prayers and his own commitment to faith transformed his life. He emphasizes living by Jesus's commandments and has inspired some of his former 'drugie' friends to follow suit.

Other Worlds in Other Frequencies: The Many Mansions in the Father's House Is Explained

This section delves into the concept of multiple dimensions and frequencies. An interpreter's story about seeing 19th Century English school children is presented as an example of seeing into another dimension or experiencing 'astral shells'. Cosmic Awareness explains that these children were astral shells of entities who had attended the school in the past. The concept of 'many mansions' is related to multiple realities existing simultaneously on different frequency levels.

The Many Mansions

This part connects the 'many mansions' phrase to the idea of superimposed realities, similar to the story in Steppenwolf. It suggests that these realities exist on different vibrational levels.

There Is No Such Thing as Time

Cosmic Awareness asserts that time is an illusion created by change and decay. The only true reality is 'Now'. Past and future are seen as fading or emerging frequencies. The movement of celestial bodies or the cycles of nature are presented as ways to measure time, but fundamentally, time is a human construct for convenience.

How to Visualize How "Time" Works

An analogy of a rock thrown into water is used to explain the concept of time. The 'Here and Now' is the rock, and the ripples moving outward represent frequencies fading into the past. The movement of spheres of energy is also used to illustrate frequencies and vibrations.

The "Word" of God: How It Began

This section reinterprets the biblical phrase "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God" by equating 'Word' with 'Vibration' and 'God' with the 'Cosmic Motor' or 'Universal Dynamo'. It explains that vibrations emanate frequencies, creating the universe. This understanding is presented as a more scientific interpretation of creation.

How the Human Body Is Formed

This part explains that the human body is formed through vibrations, with higher octaves representing energies of the astral, mental, and spiritual realms. These vibrations create reflections or images associated with the outer shell of the human body, with the reality of creation coming downward from the human body's note.

Regrowth of Body Parts Now Possible

This section suggests that understanding vibrations and frequencies could lead to future medical advancements, such as the regrowth of body parts, citing experiments with frogs as an example. It also mentions the possibility of purifying bodies through specific frequency sounds.

How the Mental Intent Heals

This section discusses how mental intent, combined with vibration, is crucial for healing and sending messages. It emphasizes that the intent behind a word or action is more important than the word or action itself. The example of the gasoline company 'Enco' in Japan is used to illustrate how a word's meaning can be perverted and have adverse effects.

Why Your Words and Intent Must Be Kept Pure

This part stresses the importance of keeping words and intentions pure to their original meaning. It uses the example of the name 'Jesus' to show how negative associations can tarnish a word's sacredness. It advises entities to be careful in their affirmations, ensuring they project positive images rather than negative ones.

What Is Cosmic Awareness

This section provides a brief overview of Cosmic Awareness, describing it as a Force that has expressed itself through various great avatars. It communicates through trained channels and encourages individuals to question, explore, and discover truth for themselves. The newsletter is published by Cosmic Awareness Communications and offers memberships.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around consciousness, self-awareness, and the nature of reality. Cosmic Awareness consistently emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own thoughts, intentions, and behaviors. The editorial stance promotes a non-dogmatic approach, encouraging personal exploration and discovery of truth. There is a strong focus on the vibrational nature of the universe and the power of intent. The newsletter also highlights the potential for spiritual growth and transformation through self-awareness and a balanced approach to life, often referred to as the 'Golden Mean'. The concept of time is presented as a subjective illusion, and the power of words and intentions is underscored.
