This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" delves into the profound and often complex subject of spiritual enlightenment, with a central theme of surrender to the Divine. The cover features a striking image symbolizing the choice between 'DEATH' and 'LIFE,' accompanied by headlines addressing the search for spiritual enlightenment, karma related to serving in the Vietnam War, and a 'Cosmic view of the Clinton Sex Scandal.'

The Endless Search for Spiritual Enlightenment

The lead article, based on a question from James M. of Sedona, Arizona, explores the possibility of achieving Christ Consciousness within a single lifetime through complete surrender, renunciation, and spiritual development. Cosmic Awareness clarifies that a fructarian diet, while a personal choice, does not inherently lead to higher spiritual levels. The key to spiritual status lies not in what one consumes, but in what one says and thinks. While diet can support general health, it is not the primary path to enlightenment. The core message is that spiritual communion with the Christ Consciousness is achieved through simple surrender, not spiritual struggle. Entities often complicate this by seeking to claim Divine energies for themselves, leading to an 'ego trip.' True surrender involves merging with the 'Highest and Best' energies, and if any doubt exists about the nature of the spirit one is surrendering to, it is advised not to proceed.

Self-Importance vs. Divine Unity

The newsletter emphasizes that self-importance is incompatible with Divine Unity. Attempting to make oneself significant in the process of spiritual merging can lead to ego-enhancement and self-flattery, distorting the Divine experience. Entities are encouraged to surrender their personal will and self-importance to the Divine, recognizing the insignificance of their individual lives in the grand cosmic scheme. True merging with the Divine brings appreciation and a sense of the Divine's greatness, fostering humility and love.

The Basic Hunger to Surrender

The underlying desire in entities is to be attuned and in harmony with the Divine. This longing, often felt as loneliness or a desire to accomplish something intangible, is a basic hunger that can only be satisfied by surrendering oneself to the Divine. This surrender requires no great skill or effort; it is a matter of relaxing and allowing Divinity to manifest. It is crucial not to claim or own Divinity, but to appreciate the Love of the Divine as it comes freely when one surrenders.

Can Divinity Be Grasped Intellectually?

Addressing a common issue, Cosmic Awareness explains that while meditation, discipline, and spiritual groups are signposts, they are not the end goal. The Divine can be contacted through the High Self, but intellectualization can hinder this. The Development Classes offered by Cosmic Awareness are designed to help entities gradually surrender their will and become passive, allowing for moments of unity and enhancing spiritual receptivity. These classes are rituals and means to glimpse spiritual levels, not the development itself.

Methods of Merging with the Divine

Surrender to the Highest is the ultimate act of merging with the Divine. Various approaches exist, including the Christian dedication to Christ and the act of salvation in evangelical movements. The crucial aspect is that this is not a one-time event but a continuous, moment-to-moment action. The concept of being the 'bride of the Divine' from the Book of Revelation is mentioned as an example of total giving.

The Perpetual Nature of Surrender

Entities are cautioned against bragging about their connection to the Divine, as this can lead to self-importance and threaten the union. The relationship with the Divine is likened to that of a master and his dog, where the dog's self-importance can lead to a loss of loyalty and a shift from serving to being served. The newsletter warns against two traps for seekers: believing that spiritual achievement requires difficulty, and thinking of oneself as excessively important after merging with the Divine.

Spirituality From Past Lives and the Role of the Mind

Regarding spirituality brought from past lives, Cosmic Awareness states that it depends on the present moment and the entity's ability to surrender self-importance. The mind tends to complicate simple truths, wanting to make spiritual development a difficult challenge. The mind dislikes the idea that it has no role in reaching enlightenment, which is achieved simply by surrendering self-importance to the Divine.

Spiritual Energies and Collective Consciousness

Elizabeth H. of Spokane asks how spiritual energies can aid the collective consciousness. Cosmic Awareness explains that by focusing on what needs healing and directing Divine Energy through surrender, one can help direct healing. This requires asking for permission from the Divine Energies, often expressed as 'Thy Will Be Done.' The example of Christ's crucifixion is used to illustrate that what appears to be a tragedy might be part of a greater Divine plan.

Creating Art as Surrender

James M.'s sculptures are presented as an example of creating art as a form of surrender. By uttering 'Thy Will Be Done through me,' the artist surrenders to the Highest and allows Divine inspiration to direct the work, making it more spiritually directed.

Clarifying Difficult Subject Areas

This section highlights how the questions posed have helped clarify the subject of spiritual enlightenment and surrender. The importance of a brief, clear statement on surrender is emphasized, as many entities struggle with self-importance. The core message is that self-surrender is the key to spiritual progress.

What is Cosmic Awareness?

Cosmic Awareness is described as the Force that expressed itself through great avatars like Jesus, Buddha, and Mohammed, communicating since 1963. It encourages questioning, exploration, and personal discovery, stating that it only 'Indicates' and 'suggests,' and neither CAC nor the interpreters are responsible for its statements.

Does Awareness Exist as Satchitananda?

Cosmic Awareness addresses the Hindu concept of Satchitananda (Existence, Consciousness, and Bliss). It explains that these can be interpreted as qualities of Awareness, which is essentially vibration. Higher frequencies of vibration lead to consciousness and awareness, and even matter contains these higher frequencies.

Bliss: Tranquil or Intense?

When Awareness exists as bliss, its experience can be perceived as either tranquil or intense, depending on the individual's definition and approach to that frequency. The newsletter stresses that words are merely signposts to truth and can hinder understanding if one becomes too fixated on their definitions.

Creating Physical Existence

Physical existence is created through the interference patterns of vibrations. When frequencies intersect, they create a denser frequency, or 'offspring.' This process, repeated over time, leads to the formation of matter. Even seemingly solid objects like rocks are composed of vibrating atoms.

The Most Beneficial Spiritual Practice

The most beneficial spiritual practice is surrendering oneself to the Divine Creator. Practices like chanting, meditation, or rituals are considered less important than this fundamental act of surrender. However, one must first have a developed sense of self to be able to surrender it.

Staying in the White Light After Death

To stay in the White Light after death, one must practice surrendering to the Divine Light daily. This requires having a developed sense of self to surrender. For those who feel incomplete or unsatisfied, it indicates a yearning to merge with the Divine, making surrender meaningful. The newsletter suggests that a Christian conversion experience, with its emphasis on sin and salvation, can serve as a close analogy for the process of ego death and surrender.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are spiritual enlightenment, the nature of consciousness, and the paramount importance of surrender to the Divine. The editorial stance is one of guiding entities towards spiritual understanding by clarifying complex concepts, emphasizing direct experience over intellectualization, and cautioning against the pitfalls of ego and self-importance. The newsletter promotes a New Age perspective, viewing contemporary events through a spiritual lens and encouraging personal growth and awareness.

This issue of "CAC General Reading," dated August 18, 1998, is presented as a series of channeled messages from "Cosmic Awareness," interpreted by Grace. The publication addresses a variety of spiritual, philosophical, and societal topics, including the Clinton sex scandal, the teachings of Kryon, the nature of the soul, ancestral lineage, and the lingering effects of war.

Comments on the Clinton Sex Scandal

The "Cosmic Awareness" suggests that the Clinton sex scandal offers numerous examples clarifying aspects of "The Lessons Of Enlightenment." It highlights shifts in human understanding away from external controllers toward internal guidance and purpose. The scandal is seen as a major public event that illustrates human needs, automatic responses, the consensual nature of knowledge, fears within mass consciousness, and the flexibility of reality. The messages encourage studying the situation to mine its wisdom, emphasizing the interplay between free will and spiritual destiny. It is noted that the President's actions were influenced by a mixture of 'gems' (like belief in privacy) and 'slivers' (like hubris and a sense of invulnerability), compounded by his knowledge of past presidents. His belief in freedom and privacy was motivated by spirit, and he felt justified in his actions based on his understanding of his agreement with his wife. The issue posits that the scandal should put to rest conspiracy theories about government conspiracies, as even the most powerful figure cannot conceal a sexual indiscretion. It also suggests that entities who are quick to judge the President should examine their own minds, as their anger and fear contribute to negative probabilities.

The Feelings of the Players In This Drama

This section analyzes the motivations of key figures in the scandal, including Paula Jones, Mr. Starr, Ms. Tripp, and Ms. Lewinsky, suggesting each acted from their own sense of "justice." It highlights the cycle of thought, feelings, and action, and how entities often resort to self-preservationary responses like fight or flight. The importance of a shared understanding of "justice" within mass consciousness is emphasized for societal progress. The concept of "liberty" is also explored as the freedom to use free will and pursue happiness without external restriction. The messages suggest that a truly enlightened civilization would honor and accommodate the choices of others. It is stated that the President should have recognized the emotional signals of spirit and settled the lawsuit, and that mass consciousness is gripped by an overpowering fear of sexuality, which is a powerful force that cannot be effectively controlled.

Any and All Sexual Acts Considered Divine by the Creator

This Awareness asserts that the Creator's intention for human communion includes the sexual component of human nature, viewing sexual acts within legitimate purposes of self-development and expression as divine. However, it cautions that sexual urges can be misused for self-preservationary reactions, escapism, and to avoid dealing with painful feelings. The President's sexual appetite is seen as a compensation for frustrations in other areas of his life, particularly a need for power. Monica Lewinsky's fantasies are described as stemming from self-esteem issues entangled with her sexuality and a desire for professional expression and a sense of power. Mr. Starr's motivation is attributed to his own repressed sexuality and a voyeuristic satisfaction gained from exposing the scandal. The messages conclude that accommodating human sexuality, rather than fighting it, is the path to spiritual growth.

Kryon's "Neutral Implant"

A question is raised about the validity of messages channeled by Lee Carroll from an entity named Kryon, who claims to be realigning Earth's magnetic grid for the Age of Enlightenment. The questioner expresses skepticism, particularly about the "Neutral Implant" concept, which is presented as a way to transition back to a spiritual status and supposedly removes the "silver tether" (interpreted as the Divine Holy Gift or God-given Silver Cord). The questioner fears this movement might be a tactic by "cosmic evil entities." Cosmic Awareness suggests that this information is symbolic and that the concept of 'implanting' may stem from underlying beliefs of disempowerment and disconnection. It is stated that the "Neutral Implant" is symbolic of the impetus to restore the divinely ordained implant within each entity, which may be dormant beneath layers of artificially implanted belief structures.

He Worries About His Karma for Serving in the Vietnam War

A veteran expresses ongoing suffering and nightmares from his service in the Vietnam War, seeking peace and resolution. Cosmic Awareness suggests that such dilemmas are common and stem from external forces shaping individuals from infancy. The messages advise invoking Universal Love, compassion, and forgiveness upon oneself and others, and to reconnect with the "Voice Within." It is suggested that entities acting in anger or perpetuating violence are motivated by spirit but are violating their own spiritual need for connection and meaning. The answer lies in choosing corrective responses that balance individual needs and honoring each other's paths, building a foundation of enduring strength.

Is It Important to Trace One's Ancestors?

Regarding the importance of tracing ancestors, Cosmic Awareness suggests that the entity answers her own question by recognizing the burdensome nature of the task and her own value system. The value of such an enterprise is seen as neutral, depending on what entities empower it with. The messages suggest that entities can use their feeling signals to address the contents of their minds and discover true values that come from spirit, rather than artificial external values.

When a 2 Year Old Child Dies

In response to a question about whether a child's soul remains a child or becomes an adult after death, Cosmic Awareness explains that energy essences contain both size and no size, and that each energy essence contains its spark of Universal Spirituality and Consciousness. While entities may manifest apparitions of departed loved ones in their child-like state, the source of such apparitions is the entity left behind, not the one who has passed.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual growth, self-awareness, and the nature of consciousness. Cosmic Awareness consistently emphasizes the importance of individual choice, the power of thought and emotion, and the need for compassion and forgiveness. The publication advocates for a shift from external control to internal guidance and a deeper understanding of human nature. The editorial stance is one of spiritual guidance, offering interpretations of events and concepts from a higher, universal perspective, encouraging entities to seek truth within themselves and to live in alignment with their spiritual essence.
