This issue of "Revelations of Awareness", subtitled "The Cosmic Newsletter," celebrates its 25th anniversary with a focus on the theme "The Lost Art of Dying." The cover features an illustration of a woman looking out a window and headlines about preparing for departure and the "Bizarre Death of Jon-Benet Ramsey."

The Lost Art of Dying

The main article, "The Lost Art of Dying," draws from a conservative Sunday Telegraph piece and discusses how modern Western society has become alienated from death. It highlights anecdotes of people, even the elderly, who have never seen a corpse or are uncomfortable dealing with the dying. Historically, death was a familiar domestic presence, with only 5% of the population dying in hospitals a century ago, compared to over 70% today. This shift has led to a perfunctory approach to death rituals, with fewer cremations and shorter services.

The article notes a societal taboo around death, similar to how sex was once taboo. People now openly discuss sex but shy away from mortality. Undertakers report that many married individuals haven't discussed funeral preferences with their spouses, and few have made wills. The rituals of mourning have also atrophied, with bereaved individuals often feeling isolated and unsure how to interact with those who are grieving.

Dr. Richard Lansdown, chief psychiatrist, states that "Death has become a foreign country where we don't know how to behave." The article contrasts this with the past, where death was a more integrated part of life. The changing demographics of death, with fewer infant and younger deaths, mean that death is now primarily associated with the aged, altering perceptions. Unlike Victorian times when random deaths caused social rifts, modern deaths are often seen as a "blessing" for the elderly.

Cultural differences in mourning are noted, with Jewish and Moslem traditions having specific stages and rituals. The article suggests that Westerners' materialism and lack of belief in God contribute to their fear of death, viewing it as the absolute end. It's suggested that perhaps 80% of those facing death in Britain are nominal Anglicans, with few actively seeking religious consolation.

Bishop John Baker of Salisbury laments society's tendency to "sweep death under the carpet," arguing that contemplating death sharpens priorities and encourages individuals to address unfinished business, heal relationships, and pursue meaningful actions.

Cosmic Awareness Commentary on Death and Dying

Cosmic Awareness indicates that death is a factor that needs consideration and preparation to avoid burdening loved ones. While preparing for the death of a child or young person is difficult, preparing for one's own death can ease the burden of expenses and arrangements for survivors. It suggests involving the dying entity in their own preparations and burial or cremation plans.

Awareness emphasizes that death need not be seen as a tragedy but as a significant time of loss that can be minimized through preparation. It notes that some terminally ill individuals become demanding, expecting excessive attention, while others may resent attempts to clear up relationship issues. Conversely, some children may only show interest in a dying parent when they realize they might inherit something.

Awareness stresses the importance of using the final days to resolve conflicts. It describes how some dying individuals test loyalty, while others, facing neglect, may feign friendship for inheritance. It advocates for resolving conflicts prior to death to avoid lingering guilt or resentment.

Resolving Conflicts with the Deceased

Awareness introduces a technique called "Doing an Awareness" to resolve conflicts, even with those who have passed away. This involves mentally engaging with the deceased, speaking to them, and responding as they might, allowing the living entity to experience resolution and peace. This process can modify or pacify karma between entities, regardless of their physical presence.

Correct Behavior When Confronting Loss

In response to the question about correct behavior when confronting loss, Awareness states that it is proper to be straightforward and empathic, offering to listen to those grieving. The primary concern should be for the feelings of the bereaved. It is normal for those mourning to experience anger, loss, and loneliness, and this is a natural part of grieving. However, it is important to remain involved with life and not to prolong bereavement to the point of self-pity.

Children and Funerals

A follow-up question addresses whether children should attend funerals. Awareness acknowledges that while forcing very young children is inappropriate, older children (five and above) should be informed of a death and allowed to attend funerals if they wish. It criticizes the extreme of shielding children from death, which can lead to a distorted view, often influenced by media portrayals of violence where death is presented as a mere plot device.

Awareness suggests that children often experience trauma from the death of pets, which can be their first real encounter with loss. Withholding them from understanding the reality of a grandparent's death is seen as depriving them of a crucial life experience.

Meditations and Spiritual Realms

The Imagination and Mind Over Matter

This issue also includes a meditation exercise designed to strengthen the imagination and mental control. It involves projecting one's consciousness to different vantage points, both externally (e.g., from a lamp post, from the sky) and internally (e.g., from a big toe, from a kneecap). This exercise aims to create a realization that consciousness is not fixed and can be projected.

Another exercise, "Mind Over Matter: Dissolving Clouds," is described, demonstrating the mind's power to alter physical reality. It suggests that by focusing on a cloud, one can cause it to shrink and disappear, proving the connection between mind and matter beyond mere brain activity.

The Nature of Death and Afterlife Beliefs

Awareness addresses the question of whether 70-80% of Americans believe in an afterlife. It confirms that a majority in the West, Middle East, and Europe tend to believe in some form of existence after death, but often feel it's beyond their control and thus ignore it. Eastern cultures, conversely, tend to view life as cyclical with reincarnation, causing less worry about death.

Western countries are noted to have more atheists, not necessarily due to disbelief in God, but due to a lack of clear understanding or a desire to avoid the intense emotional charge surrounding the topic. Religious dogma often forces a confrontation with death and afterlife concepts.

Realms of Existence

• Awareness outlines different realms of existence:
• Terrestria: The material worlds where entities perceive themselves as physical beings. This is a realm of testing and temptation.
• Hades: A realm where entities go to burn off negative energies and guilt, often by choice, to satisfy a need for punishment. It's a state of suffering that can be experienced mentally.
• Celestria: A realm of higher joys and spiritual evolution, existing beyond the Christian concept of heaven. It has various levels, with Sach Kahn being the highest, where all things are created.
• Cimmeria: Described as the "End of the Line" or a "Lake of Seething Unconsciousness," this is a realm for entities who are totally corrupt and refuse to face consequences or repent. It's a state of pure hostility and self-pity from which redemption is difficult or impossible.

Awareness clarifies that entities do not go to hell or Hades by external decree but by their own choice, based on their values and need for punishment or reward. The concept of demons is attributed to human minds, not Cosmic Awareness.

Reincarnation and the Soul's Journey

Entities believing in reincarnation may move into another body, sometimes passing through the "Clear Light" quickly. Others may linger in the Clear Light, evolving through many lifetimes before moving on. The journey through these realms is often a process of moving between levels, influenced by one's choices and beliefs.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the societal disconnect from death, the process of grief and mourning, and the spiritual understanding of the afterlife and consciousness. The editorial stance, as conveyed through Cosmic Awareness, is one of encouraging preparation for death, resolving interpersonal conflicts, and understanding the multi-layered nature of existence beyond the physical body. It promotes a view of death not as an end, but as a transition that can be navigated with consciousness and spiritual awareness, emphasizing personal choice and responsibility in spiritual evolution.

This issue of CAC General Reading, dated October 1, 1997, under the volume 10-1-97 and issue Grace #23, explores a wide range of spiritual, philosophical, and current event topics through the lens of 'Cosmic Awareness'. The cover features a mysterious shadow image related to the Holocaust and a tombstone, hinting at the themes of death, spirituality, and historical events.

Key Articles and Discussions

The Nature of Consciousness and the Afterlife

The issue begins by discussing the nature of consciousness and the passing over process. It explains that individual experiences of death are unique and depend on personal expectations and vibrations. Entities move into frequencies that match their soul's vibration, leading them to higher or lower realms. The 'Clear Light' and the 'tunnel' are described as common experiences at the moment of death, with entities drawn to what they are attuned to. The 'Law of Like Attracts Like' is presented as a fundamental principle in the spirit realm, contrasting with the material realm where opposites may attract. The concept of 'Grace' is highlighted as more powerful than 'Karma', but dependent on remorse.

Cimmeria and Earth Plane Influence

A follow-up question explores whether negative energy from 'Cimmeria' can influence the Earth plane or the 'Alien Force'. Cosmic Awareness suggests this energy serves as a reminder of what happens to those who lose their individuality. It also posits that 'Cosmic Awareness' could create more souls from this 'seething unconsciousness' for future redemption.

Viktor Frankl's Philosophical Legacy

The issue features a discussion on psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, who survived Nazi concentration camps and developed logotherapy. His core belief is that man's primary emotional force is the search for meaning. Frankl's work is described as the '3rd Vienna School of Psychotherapy'. His book emphasized helping patients find meaning in their lives, even in dire circumstances, and his survival in the camps demonstrated man's capacity to defy terrible conditions. Frankl identified three ways to discover life's meaning: creating a work or deed, experiencing something, or taking an attitude toward unavoidable suffering. Cosmic Awareness states that Frankl was a contributing 'Light Worker' who delivered understandings about human nature and the five major human needs: meaning, freedom, creation/achievement, connection, and understanding one's place in All That Is.

Resistant Patterns and Habits

An opening message urges entities to pay attention to resistant patterns and habits that may seem natural but can trap them, hindering spiritual development. These distractions and self-preservation mechanisms prevent entities from addressing negative emotions like anxiety, fear, sadness, and guilt. Resistant behaviors can disguise themselves in creative pursuits, providing superficial pleasure instead of fostering spiritual growth. The message encourages examining daily activities to identify ineffective behaviors that lead to wasted time and a lack of spiritual productivity.

The Jon-Benet Ramsey Incident

The issue addresses the controversial case of murdered Jon-Benet Ramsey. A questioner presents a hypothesis that the situation parallels the Cathy O'Brien case, involving mind control, a wealthy father with government contracts, and the mother as a 'mind-control slave'. The hypothesis suggests the mother was acting out a twisted fantasy, recreating lost youth and beauty through her daughter, and that the child may have been prostituted. Cosmic Awareness suggests there are parallels, but more metaphorically, indicating exploitation and self-preservationary interactions by the parents. It also suggests that a male entity, not unknown to the family, will ultimately be found responsible. The question of whether Jon-Benet's death will end 'Kiddy Porn' contests is also explored, with Cosmic Awareness suggesting that the tragedy highlights the issue of competition lacking spiritual intention and the limitations placed upon the female role.

Outlaw Bikers and Reincarnation

Another question explores a potential connection between outlaw bikers and Mongolian warriors, suggesting a shared attitude and build. Cosmic Awareness states that outlaw bikers are reincarnations of various personas, but acknowledges the astute observation regarding spirits who prioritize spiritual freedom. The activity of biking is seen as fulfilling spiritual freedom and control, especially for those from restricted backgrounds. The 'outlaw biker' metaphor represents competitive self-preservation, cooperatively orchestrated. The issue also addresses biker girlfriends, noting that while they share reasons with male bikers for participating in such groups (social limitation, rejection), they also have unique motivations related to gender and group-specific codes.

Fluoride in Drinking Water

The use of fluoride in public drinking water is discussed. While some believe it's to render the population docile or a waste byproduct, Cosmic Awareness suggests the primary intent is to strengthen teeth, with docility being a potential, less sinister, secondary benefit. The idea that fluoride is a component of rat poison is also mentioned.

Dealing with Hornet Stings and Other Issues

Guidance is offered on dealing with painful hornet stings and subsequent itchy eruptions, suggesting homeopathic remedies and consultation with an allergy specialist. The issue also touches upon the controversial Cassini launch to Saturn, with Cosmic Awareness suggesting the questioner's description of the plan is inaccurate and that entities have control over such matters.

Animal Recognition and Past Lives

Questions arise about whether animals recognize past-life associations. Cosmic Awareness affirms that animals, like humans, have varying levels of awareness and express connections through feelings of resonance, love, and recognition. The concept of a 'familiar' is explained as relationships between animals and humans that recognize instant affinity and affiliation.

Mysterious Shadows on German Walls

A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to the phenomenon of mysterious shadows appearing on walls in Bietigheim-Bissingen, Germany. Residents believe these are the ghosts of Jewish neighbors murdered during the Holocaust. Cosmic Awareness suggests that while the article may be an exaggeration, there is essential validity to the phenomena. It explains these apparitions as manifestations of guilt energy and the collective unconsciousness related to the Holocaust, where entities failed to act due to fear and denial. This guilt energy, not channeled productively, manifests as these phenomena.

Cosmic Awareness Seeks to Turn on the Light

The closing message describes the human experience as living in a darkened room, furnished by belief systems. Cosmic Awareness has historically worked within this darkness to provide guidance. However, with the shift in consciousness, entities are now ready for a new strategy: the 'light' of understanding, which exposes the nature of the room and its contents, allowing entities to freely navigate and replace outdated furnishings.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around consciousness, spirituality, the afterlife, reincarnation, and the impact of human beliefs and actions on reality. There's a consistent emphasis on individual responsibility, the power of intention, and the importance of spiritual development. The editorial stance, as conveyed through Cosmic Awareness, is one of guidance and enlightenment, encouraging self-discovery, questioning, and the pursuit of truth. The publication aims to help individuals navigate their spiritual paths and contribute to a collective shift towards a 'New Age' of consciousness. The use of 'Cosmic Awareness' as the primary source of information suggests a belief in a higher, universal intelligence that communicates through trained channels.
