This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" celebrates its 500th edition, marking 33 years since its first publication in 1965. The magazine is a newsletter from Cosmic Awareness Communications, based in Olympia, Washington, dedicated to helping people become aware.

A Message from the Editor

The editor, Avaton, reflects on the 500th issue, reviewing the history of the newsletter. The first issue in November 1965 was only 4 pages long, with subsequent issues expanding to 12 pages. The editor includes a reproduction of the historic first issue and issue number 9, which features a reading by the first Interpreter, Ralph Duby. Duby's unique tape-recorded reading involved specific questions posed to Awareness, with answers recorded on a separate tape. This reading predicted Duby's imminent death and spoke of the end of separateness, the merging into 'All That Is,' and the ultimate passion of that merging.

The editor recounts Ralph Duby's death in Hawaii after multiple heart attacks, and how the subsequent Interpreter, David E. Worcester, revealed more about Duby's significance. Duby is described as the 'Rhyee,' the first separateness, and Lucifer, who fell due to vanity and ego. His death signified the end of the 'war in heaven' and the reconciliation of Lucifer's energies back into 'All That Is.' Awareness indicated that negative energies associated with Lucifer would continue as 'reflections' but would eventually fizzle out, leading to peace and harmony.

The editor shares personal anecdotes of knowing Ralph Duby and attending his classes. Photos of Ralph Duby are included. The editor also mentions other Interpreters such as Tom Mooney, who later rejected the Awareness Movement, and Danton B. Spivey, who was carefully tutored and later became a professional MD. Paul Shockley is highlighted as the most prolific Interpreter, credited with hundreds of readings for CAC and a significant contributor to the newsletter's content, particularly on conspiracies. The editor notes that Awareness retired Paul in 1997 and introduced Grace as the new Interpreter, who would focus on 'Lessons of Enlightenment' rather than conspiracy-related topics.

The editor details the founding of Cosmic Awareness Communications (CAC) after the collapse of the 'Servants of Awareness' organization. A Tarot reading indicated the need for a new Interpreter and a new organization. The name 'Cosmic Awareness Communications' was chosen. The newsletter initially relied on material from Ralph Duby and primitive mimeograph newsletters. The editor, who had a background in advertising, applied his skills to the newsletter's layout and printing. For many years, the newsletter was published bi-weekly, later switching to every three weeks with extended page counts. The editor also acknowledges Jon Strongbow for his dedicated transcription work.

Cosmic Awareness Comments on Our 500th Issue of the Newsletter

This section features a reading from Cosmic Awareness, channeled through Grace Interpreter, in response to a question from the editor about the 500th issue celebration. Awareness acknowledges the editor's 33-year commitment to disseminating its messages and organizing communities. It highlights the significance of the 500th issue as a 'critical mass' point, signifying the dawning of Enlightenment and the opening of consciousness. Awareness notes that despite challenges and the struggles of entities, the editor's efforts have been instrumental in consciousness alteration. The message emphasizes the importance of the 'Lessons of Enlightenment' in restoring the connection between Creator and creation and empowering humanity.

Channeling Awareness is not Detrimental to Health or Longevity of the Interpreter

Cosmic Awareness addresses concerns about the potential physical risks of channeling. It states that such concerns are unnecessary and that interpreters' normal bodily signals are sufficient to gauge session lengths. The message confirms that no physical risk or deterioration occurs with Interpreters for Awareness.

What is Cosmic Awareness?

This section defines Cosmic Awareness as the Force that expressed itself through various avatars like Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed, and Edgar Cayce. It speaks again today as the world enters the 'New Age.' The newsletter encourages questioning and personal discovery, stating that Cosmic Awareness only 'indicates' and 'suggests,' and neither CAC nor its Interpreters are responsible for or necessarily agree with the statements made.

When Separateness First Occurred (David E. Worcester, Interpreter)

This reading explores the origin of separateness, describing it as an exploratory examination within a vast field of energy. It details the subsequent divisions and the search for answers to questions like "Where am I?" and "Who am I?" The reading likens this process to the waves crashing upon beaches, ultimately leading to a new form of essence and movement, a concern with maintenance.

The Unwrapping of the Mummy

This section describes how maintenance of forms was covered by gold and statues, revealing an evidence of solidity. As awareness increased, this statuary was removed, revealing a wrapped form – a mummy. The unwrapping revealed 'awful decay' and 'awful stench,' representing the decay of powers and forces that maintain worldly structures.

The Ego Death

This reading discusses the concept of ego death as an acceleration of the dissolving of decay, allowing the field of energy that maintains separateness to fade. It suggests that when this energy fades, humanity stands as an electric imagery charged with a knowledge that the isolated cube of energy is not the destination, but rather a 'golden flow' beyond words, representing the return to Awareness.

What Makes a "Driven Person" Driven? (David E. Worcester, Interpreter)

This reading addresses the feeling of being driven, suggesting it's a 'pull' rather than a 'push.' It indicates that in a past life, the individual observed deeply into the cosmos, creating an opening that is now being moved through rapidly. This movement is described as being of 'awareness proportions' and serving as a balm to those who are not resistant.

Problems in Meditation (Danton B. Spivey, Interpreter)

This reading offers guidance on meditation, suggesting persistent, regular effort (at least half an hour daily) and utilizing the 'Book of Meditation.' It advises understanding that indications received may come from multiple levels of consciousness and not necessarily from a single, absolute source. The reading emphasizes developing intuition and recognizing that skepticism can be a sign of maturity.

Awareness is With You All The Way (Danton B. Spivey, Interpreter)

This message assures entities that Awareness is always present. It encourages seeking reality and understanding the facets of the human psyche that form identity, leading to a greater understanding of essence. It suggests that living with inward freedom can lead to inevitable sacrifice of identity.

The State of Marriage on Atlantis (Cosmic Awareness)

This section discusses marriage in Atlantis, where entities learned emotional security and inherent divinity from childhood. Unlike modern culture, they were taught they were complete. Marriage concepts are seen as inhibitors to functioning as channels for Awareness, created to find security in a violent world. The reading suggests that the age of institutions is ending and entities are moving towards relationships guided by Inner Light and love.

Conditions of Marriage in Atlantis (Could they Enrich Present Day Marriages?) (Cosmic Awareness)

This reading addresses the concept of 'couple' and the fear of death that drives the need for security in relationships. It suggests that this fundamental concept must pass for human development. Entities are encouraged to focus on personal development and loving relationships, rather than idealizing a partner or a concept of marriage that leads to isolation and disappointment.

The Spiritual Aspect of the Sexual Union (Danton B. Spivey, Interpreter)

This reading explores the spiritual aspect of sexuality, stating that current understanding is only a small portion of what needs to be learned. It describes how mating forces create energy flows and a sharing of energies at a profound level, leading to a sense of unification. However, it warns that hindrances like cultural judgments, fears, and guilt can create barriers, and promiscuous behavior can lead to accumulating fears and problems. It also touches on the concept of dominating sexuality and prudery.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the history and evolution of Cosmic Awareness and its communication through various interpreters. The editorial stance, as presented by Avaton, is one of historical reflection, personal connection to the movement's figures, and a belief in the ongoing spiritual evolution of humanity towards enlightenment and a New Age. The magazine emphasizes the importance of individual consciousness, spiritual growth, and the continuous flow of messages from Cosmic Awareness. The editorial also highlights the challenges and controversies within the movement, while ultimately affirming its purpose and the significance of its milestones, like the 500th issue.

This issue of "Cosmic Awareness" (Issue 10, dated April 20, 1968, with a philosophical reading from Calgary, Alberta, Canada) delves into a range of spiritual and personal inquiries, offering guidance and insights from the entity known as Cosmic Awareness, often interpreted by individuals like Tom Mooney and Paul Shockley.

Sexuality and Spirituality

The issue begins by addressing the role of sexuality in spiritual development. Cosmic Awareness suggests that while many books focus on increasing sensual levels, true understanding lies in exploring sexuality without fear or guilt. It posits that sexuality, when approached with awareness, can be a means of spiritualization, leading to a balanced and vitalized consciousness. The information provided functions to shatter structured and material forces within an individual's sexuality, but preoccupation with these levels can distract from deeper, etheric and auric field work.

Karmic Links and Relationships

Regarding whether sexual intercourse creates karmic links between beings across lifetimes, Cosmic Awareness affirms that this is true, depending on the depth and intensity of the union. This suggests that relationships can be forged and reinforced through shared experiences across multiple existences.

Personal Readings and Guidance

A significant portion of the magazine consists of question-and-answer sessions and personal readings. These cover topics such as:

The Superconscious Mind

Described as embracing total comprehension and blazing clarity, the superconscious mind is presented as reflecting the essential nature of itself.

Addressing World Problems

When asked about the world's problems and solutions, Cosmic Awareness directs the questioner to apply it to themselves, emphasizing the need for personal simplicity, directness, and clarity before leading others.

Inner Awareness and Cosmic Awareness

It's explained that inner awareness correlates with Cosmic Awareness, and that there is ultimately only one Awareness. Contacting this Awareness is described as difficult but achievable through surrender and by responding to inner promptings and urgings.

Madness

Madness is identified with movements in situations hampered by fear, greed, hate, brutalities, and attempts to suppress truth. However, a light is dawning, signifying an end to this state.

Individuality and the Soul

The concept of individuality is explored, highlighting the experience of moving from two different points and the sharing of uniqueness. The individual soul movement is likened to a ray of consciousness emanating from the heart of God, with the potential to explore the unknown and eventually return to the Source.

Spiritual Development and Love

Spiritual development is linked to loving one another and serving those in need, without requiring self-sacrifice beyond one's willingness. It emphasizes self-love and the ability to forgive oneself and others as crucial for spiritual growth.

Case Study: William Ralph Duby

The issue recounts the story of William Ralph Duby, the first Interpreter for Cosmic Awareness. In 1963, facing a terminal cancer diagnosis, he was guided by Cosmic Awareness through a hypnotic trance to a regimen of only grapes for 14 days, which resulted in his complete healing. This event led to the formation of "The Organization of Awareness" and the channeling of extensive philosophical material, including Cosmic Laws and Development Plans.

Duby's experiences also included a harrowing account of his time as a US Army soldier during World War II, his capture, and his forced participation in the Bataan death march. He recounted being spared execution by a Japanese officer who needed an interpreter, and later learned that Cosmic Awareness was responsible for this intervention, enabling him to learn Japanese in three days.

Grief and Guilt Over a Friend's Death

A personal reading addresses the grief and guilt experienced by Tom, whose friend James Rossmaier died in an accident involving a forklift that Tom had purchased. Cosmic Awareness explains that entities often arrange their time of departure, and that Rossmaier's purpose in life was completed. The focus shifts to the circumstances of the forklift delivery, emphasizing that the accident was due to the loading process, not Tom's request or pressure. The distinction between positive guilt (leading to constructive action) and negative guilt (destructive) is made. It is suggested that Tom should focus on honoring his friend through positive actions rather than succumbing to self-blame.

The CAC Destiny Path and Enlightenment

The issue also touches upon the "Paradox and the CAC Destiny Path," discussing the paradoxical nature of the universe and the journey toward enlightenment. It highlights the role of Grace, an interpreter, in reconciling past information with new experiences and the organization's mission. The group mission of Cosmic Awareness Communications is described as a destiny path for many entities working together to usher in the Age of Enlightenment. The energy and focus of individuals like Avaton, Vikki T., Paul Shockley, Steven, and Grace are essential to this collective effort. The issue concludes by noting that this destiny path has been unfolding for 50 years and is well on track.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

Recurring themes include the interconnectedness of consciousness, the importance of self-awareness and spiritual growth, the nature of reality and destiny, and the resolution of personal and collective karma. The editorial stance is one of spiritual guidance, offering explanations and perspectives on life's challenges from a higher consciousness, encouraging self-responsibility, constructive action, and the pursuit of enlightenment. The magazine emphasizes that the ultimate source of guidance is within the individual's own inner awareness, which is connected to a universal Cosmic Awareness.

This issue marks the 10th anniversary of Cosmic Awareness Communications (CAC). The cover headline reads "On the Occasion of CAC's 10th Anniversary (A Pat on the Back From the Boss)". The issue features a message from "This Awareness" addressing the membership and recognizing key individuals who have contributed to the organization's longevity.

Key Articles and Content

Message from "This Awareness"

This Awareness addresses the membership of Cosmic Awareness Communications, acknowledging the organization's 10th anniversary and recognizing the efforts of those who have carried the load in disseminating messages over the past decade. Specifically, "This Awareness" highlights the entities known as Avaton and Vicki T., crediting them with bringing these messages to the membership through their dedication and efforts. The message encourages members to express appreciation to these individuals during October. It also touches upon the role of the editor and secretary, noting the challenges of making decisions and navigating diverse opinions and lifestyles, especially when dealing with controversial information that causes stress.

Paul Marcus Shockley

This section details the significant contributions of Paul Marcus Shockley, described as the most prolific interpreter for CAC. For approximately 20 years, Shockley would travel monthly to Olympia, Washington, to give readings, which often helped sustain the organization financially. While he occasionally delivered "bombshells" such as the "Gathering Storm" scenario, massive disclosure on the alien agenda, and the New World Order, the majority of his material (75% or more) concerned philosophical, spiritual, and historical information. This included hundreds of Personal Readings given to others. Awareness indicated that the religions of the world needed realignment and that the truth of "Christianity" needed to enter consciousness. Shockley was a pioneer in clarifying the distinction between the man Jesus and the Christ Consciousness. His focus on conspiracies, according to Awareness, influenced mass-consciousness to the point where conspirators could no longer hide their actions and have reportedly shifted their agenda to one that could eventually benefit humanity.

The anniversary message also highlights the dedication required to maintain such an organization and disseminate its messages.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
