Magazine Overview

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness: The Cosmic Newsletter" (Issue No. 490, Volume 97-13, dated November 2, 1993) is published by Cosmic Awareness Communications and celebrates its 25th Anniversary. The cover features a pregnant woman and a surreal illustration, with the main headline "How Karma Works."

Karma and Self-Forgiveness

The issue addresses the question of whether karma can be erased by self-forgiveness. Cosmic Awareness indicates that this is not accurate. Karma is eradicated by fulfilling its repayment or through the "Law of Grace," which involves divine forgiveness. This forgiveness is granted when the perpetrator feels sincere remorse. The Law of Grace extends mercy when the entity completely feels and expresses remorse, not necessarily outwardly, but inwardly to their Divine Self. Self-forgiveness alone is not sufficient to eradicate karma.

Karma and Writers of Fiction and Non-Fiction

Regarding writers, the issue explores whether fiction writers incur less karma than non-fiction writers. Cosmic Awareness explains that it depends on the intent and content. Writing information that stimulates entities into improper actions, even if fictional, can create karma for the writer. If a writer's intent is not for the benefit of readers but solely for profit, leading to harm, they will incur more karma. Similarly, fiction writers are not entirely free of karma if their work promotes harmful actions like serial killing, influencing readers toward such paths.

Karma and Movies

The discussion extends to movies, using "The Program" as an example where teenagers mimicked a dangerous scene, leading to a death. While the distributors removed the scene, Cosmic Awareness states that those involved in creating and glorifying such scenes bear karmic responsibility. The glorification of stupidity that leads to real-life disaster incurs karmic repercussions, and ignorance is not a complete defense.

"Murphy Brown" - Karma for Role Models

This section examines the karmic implications for public figures and role models, using the "Murphy Brown" TV character as an example. Cosmic Awareness suggests that such characters can be viewed in two ways: as poor role models influencing young girls negatively, or as characters who help foster understanding and reduce societal hostility towards single mothers. Depending on the influence, the character could generate good or bad karma.

Karma and the Arsonist

In response to a question about the karma of an arsonist who set a wildfire, Cosmic Awareness explains that karma is determined by intent and ignorance. While accidental fires carry less karma, deliberate acts do. The entity's karma will depend on the extent of the damage and their intent. Repayment might occur within the same lifetime or future ones, often through service or actions that benefit others, rather than direct retribution.

Do Good Intentions Carry More Weight on Other Levels?

This section addresses the saying "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." Cosmic Awareness clarifies that while good intentions are generally well-meaning and lead to worthwhile results, they are not always sufficient. A "fly in the ointment" can cause a good intention to backfire. However, having good intentions can provide a certain redemption and alleviate negative karma, even if the outcome is not beneficial. The key is the intent to do the right thing. Negligence, however, even with good intentions, can still incur karma. For instance, administering medicine carelessly or with a dirty needle, despite the intention to help, can lead to karmic debt.

Tampered "Trick or Treat" Halloween Candy

Cosmic Awareness addresses the karma associated with individuals who tamper with Halloween candy, placing harmful objects like needles or drugs inside. It states that such actions incur karma because they involve hurting children and stem from a mind lacking compassion. The issue also notes that many such reported incidents may not be true, serving as warnings to parents.

Karma and the Rodney King Incident

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the Rodney King incident and its karmic repercussions. Cosmic Awareness argues that while Rodney King's actions (getting drunk, driving recklessly) contributed to the situation, he was not solely responsible for the subsequent riots and destruction. The riots are attributed to deeper societal issues, police hostility towards blacks, and a feeling of injustice. The incident is presented as a symbol of broader societal problems and a "chain reaction" of abuses. The police's excessive force and the jury's verdict are highlighted as triggers. Cosmic Awareness emphasizes that karma is complex and not simply a matter of cause and effect, but a ripple throughout society. It suggests that while King will likely feel guilt, he may also recognize that he was not entirely to blame. The police forces are noted to have re-evaluated their use of force following the incident.

Karma and the Chain Reaction on the Freeway

This section further explores the concept of chain reactions and karma, distinguishing the Rodney King incident from a freeway intrusion scenario. While both involve a triggering event, the Rodney King situation is seen as more complex, involving multiple misbehaviors and societal factors. The freeway incident highlights how one person's actions can necessitate reactions from others, leading to accidents, and the individual may incur karma for their disregard, even if unaware of the full consequences.

Karma a Difficult Subject to Discuss

Cosmic Awareness concludes by stating that karma is a difficult topic to understand, often oversimplified as mere cause and effect. It is likened to a pool table, where one ball hitting another creates a ripple effect. Karma progresses from moment to moment, generation to generation. The issue raises the question of whether individuals are responsible for injustices happening globally, suggesting that inaction can also incur karma. It advises focusing on avoiding known negative karma and embracing positive actions.

Character and Integrity

This section defines character as acting ethically even when no one is looking, and integrity as being integrated with one's principles. It emphasizes the importance of building a strong character as a foundation, especially during times of crisis. Loyalty should be directed towards permanent values, such as the Divine Creator, rather than fleeting or unstable things like political parties or even family, which can falter.

How Does Biological Life on a Planet Originate?

Cosmic Awareness addresses the origin of biological life, suggesting it can arise from solar winds, external placement of entities, or evolution from minuscule particles. It also touches upon the idea of life forms being brought from other worlds.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the multifaceted nature of karma, responsibility, intent, and justice. Cosmic Awareness consistently emphasizes that karma is complex, involving more than simple cause and effect. The Law of Grace is presented as a mitigating factor, but not a substitute for personal accountability. The magazine's stance appears to be one of encouraging introspection, ethical behavior, and a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of actions and their consequences, while also acknowledging the role of divine intervention and mercy.

This issue of CAC General Reading, dated July 15, 1997, is titled "About the Lessons of Enlightenment: An Adventure in Self-Understanding." It features content from Cosmic Awareness Communications, with Paul Shockley and Grace as interpreters. The magazine explores themes of spiritual growth, consciousness, and potential societal shifts, while also addressing topics such as extraterrestrial influences, government activities, and historical mysteries.

Lessons of Enlightenment

The opening message emphasizes that enlightenment is imminent, aiming to replace the 'cloak of darkness' with empowerment and Divine Joyous Love Energy. It offers a welcoming energy for those seeking to understand and apply spiritual wisdom. The 'Lessons of Enlightenment' are presented as a means to restore the natural flow of energy and communication between spirit, body, and mind, facilitating the development and expression of the spirit. The lessons are intended to help entities reclaim lost empowerment, abilities, and mental capacities. The process is described as a lifelong journey of self-development and understanding, with the potential for immense joy. Entities are encouraged to apply the lessons, submit questions, and network with others. The pace of development should be balanced, avoiding excessive aggressiveness that leads to pain and dysfunction. The importance of trusting one's inner feeling system is highlighted, as it provides valuable information from the Spirit regarding accepted truths and beliefs.

Extraterrestrial and Genetic Influences

One section addresses the question of whether plants were engineered for humans. Cosmic Awareness indicates that while many plants grew naturally, some were brought to Earth by extraterrestrials in the past. Examples include the banana and the Venus flytrap. It is suggested that extraterrestrials used to visit Earth more frequently and that exchanges of cultures also involved the exchange of foods and vegetation. The possibility of vegetation arriving via comets is also mentioned. The entity discusses mutations in the Galapagos Islands, attributing them to isolation and the introduction of non-native species, as well as human waste.

Military Urban Warfare and Government Concerns

A significant portion of the magazine addresses concerns about military urban warfare practices occurring late at night in communities, as reported by a U.S. soldier. The soldier's account suggests a 'war footing,' with talk of banking families taking over, 75% of the National Guard being sent out of the country, and the possibility of the military firing on its own people. Reports of foreign troops, specifically German troops, taking over a U.S. base in New Mexico are also discussed. Concerns are raised about the government potentially importing guillotines from France and the possibility of 'restricted areas' being concentration camps. The issue of gun control is also examined, with laws being passed to disarm citizens and even some police officers.

New World Order and Social Control

The concept of a 'New World Order' is explored, with the idea that textbooks are being used to rewrite U.S. history, downplaying significant events and focusing on social issues. A caste system is described as being set up to create the appearance of equality while consolidating power. Corporations are predicted to take over government functions, controlling jobs, and potentially influencing family members. The principle of Hegel, involving the creation of opposing arguments to reach a predetermined compromise, is discussed as a method of social programming and manipulation, applied in politics and even in the justification of wars.

Vatican and Spiritual Warfare

A letter from an anonymous 'Priest' details alleged Vatican involvement in projects like 'Space Guard' and the training of a 'Vatican Guard' for an impending Holy War. The priest also mentions a virus and the Vatican's staff of astral operatives and remote viewers. The priest reports being shot and his associate being murdered, suggesting a serious underlying conflict. Cosmic Awareness largely validates this information, connecting it to Neo-Nazi activities, the CIA, Rockefellers, and the Vatican.

Personal Development and Spiritual Guidance

The magazine features sections on how to surrender oneself to God, emphasizing the importance of attuning to one's core aspects and honoring them. It also discusses the concept of 'self' and its connection to the Divine. The experience of 'culture shock' is used as an analogy for the transition of Alton McCullough, a former inmate, back into society. The importance of identifying and purging limiting beliefs is stressed for spiritual development. The magazine also addresses the question of whether ants have a higher purpose, suggesting they operate under a 'mass-consciousness' linked to the spirit.

Specific Topics and Questions

• Millennium Children: The book "The Millennium Children" by Caryl Dennis is discussed, describing these children as having unusual abilities and memories of past lives. Cosmic Awareness suggests some distortion in the book but acknowledges the value of understanding shifts in consciousness and energy accumulation as the millennium approaches.
• Noah's Ark: The discovery of what is believed to be Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat is examined. Cosmic Awareness suggests that the energy invested in this belief system has created its physical manifestation. The government's interest is seen as primarily economic, with potential changes in accessibility.
• Whale Beaching: The phenomenon of whales beaching themselves is explained as an act of suicide resulting from ecological changes and chemical imbalances causing sadness and depression within the whale population.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment and self-understanding, concerns about government control and the New World Order, the influence of extraterrestrial beings, and the interpretation of historical and religious narratives through a spiritual lens. The editorial stance, as conveyed by Cosmic Awareness, encourages critical thinking, questioning, and personal exploration of spiritual truths, emphasizing the importance of the feeling system as a guide. The publication aims to provide information for those seeking to understand and contribute to a 'New Age' of spiritual consciousness.
