Magazine Overview
This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" (Issue No. 517, dated 1999) from Cosmic Awareness Communications explores various spiritual and philosophical topics, with a particular focus on sexual energies, the interpretation of the Bible, and the nature of consciousness. The magazine celebrates its 28th year of publication and is based in Olympia, Washington.
How to Deal With Sexual Energies
The lead article, "How to Deal With Sexual Energies (Horny ladies and wandering husbands)," addresses a question from Colleen in Oregon regarding her strong sexual drive. Cosmic Awareness explains that sexual energy is a reflection of vitality and good health, and not inherently a problem. Misuse, such as using it in a violative way or creating problems one cannot take responsibility for, is where issues arise. The energy is valuable but needs to be guided and used wisely, akin to the brain. The primary rule emphasized is "Do not harm others. Do not harm yourself." The text suggests that while responsible use is key, curtailing sexual energy too much can also be harmful. It touches upon the historical context of societal taboos around sex and how these have evolved, advocating for personal choice as long as it doesn't cause harm.
The issue also discusses the concept of "A Strong Sex Drives Indicates a Strong Vitality," linking it to the entity's vitality and hormone system. It suggests that rather than hating sexual energies or fantasies, entities should bless them and find healthy outlets for expression, such as physical activities. The article "Krishnamurti on the Sexual 'Problem'" posits that the 'thinking' about sex, rather than the energy itself, creates problems. It also notes that while self-stimulation is not inherently wrong if it causes no harm, finding a partner for intimate relations is generally more pleasant.
Deceptions and Myths of the Bible
This section features a letter from Albert Monette of Joshua Tree, California, who praises Lloyd M. Graham's book "Deceptions And Myths Of The Bible" for providing enlightenment and challenging traditional religious beliefs. Monette contends that the Bible is replete with mythologies and allegories, and that its interpretations have divided humanity, leading to wars and destruction. He questions whether humanity can unite for peace unless the Bible is accepted as mythology rather than literal truth.
Cosmic Awareness responds by stating that it has consistently provided information on spiritual understanding, including concepts like the High Self, Middle Self, and Low Self, and how prayers are answered. It affirms that entities are immortal and can live beyond reincarnation. The magazine suggests that the Bible is a compilation of many writings from various sources, with some being plagiarized. It highlights that the book "Myths And Deceptions Of The Bible" is an eye-opener that can help clarify the origins of spiritual foundations and that exploring its sources, such as ancient Sumer, Acadia, Egypt, Ur, Babylonia, the Far East, and India, can provide deeper insights. The hourglass analogy is used to symbolize the Bible as a vortex through which truth has been funneled from these earlier sources.
Other Topics Explored
What Sun Signs Produce a Strong Sex Drive?
This section addresses whether certain sun signs are indicative of a strong sex drive, particularly in children. Cosmic Awareness explains that strong sex drives are simply vitality quotients, and many children begin exhibiting them around age five or six, though this can vary.
If a Wife Refuses to Grant a Divorce, Is it a Sin For Her Husband to Move In With an Unmarried Woman?
Clarence R. from Castries, Saint Lucia, poses this question. Cosmic Awareness defines 'sin' as missing the mark and states that the concept of right and wrong is subjective. While traditional or religious views might deem it sinful, the teaching of love suggests one should not live with someone they do not love. The ultimate decision rests on an entity's highest values.
What do Lines on the Forehead Reveal About a Person?
Another question from Clarence R. asks about the meaning of forehead lines. Cosmic Awareness explains that these lines are often caused by frowning or inner conflict, or a pinched nerve, and do not necessarily indicate an evil person. It suggests that pain can lead to a less happy disposition. The article also offers methods for reducing forehead lines, including certain foods, relaxation, and skin treatments like egg masks and pycnogenol.
Do Charms and Talismans Really Work?
This section addresses whether charms and talismans are effective and if they create karmic debt. Cosmic Awareness likens their effect to placebos, stating that belief in them can influence the subconscious and produce desired results. It suggests that using them to trick the subconscious into believing in good luck is harmless self-deception. The key is to command the subconscious with certainty, such as "This will bring me good luck whether I believe it or not!"
The Ruler and the Ruled
Paresh Ganga from India asks about the karmic connection between rulers and the ruled, and what makes a ruler incapable. Cosmic Awareness explains that rulers often reflect the will of the people, even if passively. Tyrants gain control through silent agreement when challenges become ineffective. It suggests that the masses are responsible for suffering if they do not actively participate in choosing their leaders. The concept of karma is applied, noting that entities who avoid responsibility may passively accept authority. The best way to change a situation is through education and informing the masses.
Some World Leaders Given a Second Chance?
This follow-up question explores whether leaders of smaller countries also receive second chances, similar to superpower leaders. Cosmic Awareness indicates that while past life karma can be a factor, present rulers are often in power due to chance, connections, and circumstances in their current lifetime.
What Makes an Incapable Ruler?
This question is answered by stating that the definition of 'incapable' is subjective and depends on who is evaluating. It notes that some may see a ruler as incompetent if they do not grant benefits, while others may see them as competent if they maintain special positions.
President Nixon and the Aliens
This section addresses a tabloid story suggesting aliens were behind President Nixon's removal from office. Cosmic Awareness indicates that Nixon attempted to use this as leverage, but was reminded of the consequences faced by President Kennedy. Instead of revealing alien presence, Nixon signed the Freedom of Information Act.
What is Ram & Krishna's Birthdays?
Cosmic Awareness states that this information is not available through the interpreter and suggests consulting sources within India.
How Does Our Soul Develop?
Responding to Lloyd Graham's notion that the soul must be developed, Cosmic Awareness explains that the soul is an evolving entity that develops over many lifetimes. It mentions young and old souls, and notes that few entities are not born with souls, with some exceptions being clones or synthetics. It describes the creation of humanity through the splitting of light and the development of electromagnetic energy fields called souls.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual self-discovery, questioning traditional religious dogma, and understanding the energetic and karmic forces that shape human experience. The editorial stance is one of encouraging critical thinking, personal responsibility, and a holistic approach to life, emphasizing consciousness, vitality, and the interconnectedness of all beings. The magazine promotes the idea that truth can be found by looking beyond established doctrines and exploring diverse sources of wisdom.
This issue of Revelations of Awareness, dated August 6, 1997, explores a wide range of spiritual and metaphysical topics through questions posed to Cosmic Awareness. The magazine is published by Cosmic Awareness Communications and offers a discount on its 144 Spiritual Development Lessons.
Emotional Force: Where Does It Come From? What Is It?
Cosmic Awareness addresses a question from Martha Taub regarding the origin and nature of emotional force. It is indicated that emotional force originates directly from God, not from within individuals. Emotion is defined as attraction or repulsion, with its strength determined by the degree of these forces. The development of strong emotions is linked to environmental factors, biological needs, and personal attitudes. The balance of elements in an astrological chart (Water, Earth, Air, Fire) can influence how entities pursue their desires. Attitudes can amplify emotions, particularly in situations of desire or fear. The concept of using emotions as weapons, especially with children, is discussed, emphasizing guidance over suppression of a strong will.
Using Emotions as Weapons: Dealing With Children
This section advises that taking action and moving can alleviate intense emotions. It notes that strong emotions can be used as weapons, with the entity having the strongest emotions overpowering others. A strong-willed child, while potentially challenging, can develop great determination if guided constructively. Instead of suppressing a child's will, it is recommended to guide it towards beneficial actions, offering alternatives and teaching them to work for their desires.
Dumping Negative Emotion
Entities are advised to release negative emotions by taking them out on inanimate objects or by sending them to their Higher Self for transmutation. Trees are suggested as a means of converting negative emotion into positive energy. This process is likened to a chain reaction of passing negative emotions from person to person, emphasizing the importance of breaking this cycle.
Bacteria as the Cells of Demonic Spirits?
Responding to a question about the Vedic belief that bacteria are cells of demonic spirits, Cosmic Awareness suggests that this is a different way of conceptualizing thought-forms and energies within a system. It draws parallels to a physicist describing atomic separation during surgery, highlighting that the language and system used can vary while still being workable. The concept is presented as a mystical interpretation of illness caused by thought-forms.
The Rule of "Non-Interference" by Aliens
Cosmic Awareness clarifies that non-interference is not a universal law but a galactic principle or ethical expression. It explains that while direct interference that alters a culture is avoided, the mere act of contact can subtly alter a culture. The appearance of extraterrestrials became more visible after World War II. The rule is presented as a courtesy, not an absolute law, and the Star Trek depiction is noted as not being an accurate model of reality.
CROP CIRCLES: ARE THEY MEANT TO BE DECIPHERED BY HUMANS?
Cosmic Awareness explains that crop circle glyphs are interactive and understood by the subconscious mind, providing subconscious information. It suggests that these glyphs also serve as a communication method between extraterrestrials, akin to leaving a message for their own kind. The analogy of "Kilroy was here!" signs is used to illustrate this purpose.
Why This Incessant Push to Learn More?
The feeling of incompleteness and the quest for 'more' are identified as motivators for entities to continue experiencing life and seeking knowledge. This drive is essential for progress and evolution.
Why Do We Collect and Hang on to Garbage?
Entities tend to cling to accumulated experiences and possessions, often due to past difficulties in acquiring needed items. This fear of future need can lead to hoarding. The concept of space and emptiness versus clutter is explored, with the suggestion that organizing possessions and knowing where things are can create a sense of order.
Are Light Workers Being Led Astray?
This section addresses concerns about misinformation in channeled information and the possibility of "light worker types" being manipulated. Cosmic Awareness acknowledges that misinformation exists and that the future is not fixed, with collective consciousness influencing outcomes. It explains that channels may be off the mark due to the fluid nature of the future and the difficulty in interpreting symbolic astrological data. Leaked information can also be mistaken for psychic prediction. The accuracy of astrological readings is generally considered higher than psychic readings.
Do Males Through Sexual Intercourse Steal Energies From the Female Partner?
Cosmic Awareness comments on the idea that men may steal energy from women through sexual intercourse. It suggests that while there is a biological imperative for males to reproduce with multiple mates, the concept of "filaments" or tapeworms stealing energy is a distortion. A more accurate view is that sexual intercourse facilitates a powerful exchange of energy and spiritual connection between entities. The biological imperative for males is contrasted with the female's investment in a single ovum, highlighting the importance of mutual respect and spiritual connection in sexual encounters.
Human and Humane Qualities in Animals: Do They Exist?
Cosmic Awareness affirms that animals, particularly dogs, possess humane qualities and spiritual depth. They are described as embodying pure emotional experience without the interference of the mental realm that humans face. Animals operate on a purely emotional responsive level, demonstrating a clear communicative path between spirit and body. Observing animals can provide learning about emotional resonance and spiritual joy, offering a pure emotional connection often missing in human interactions due to societal constraints.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of consciousness, spirituality, and the human condition. Cosmic Awareness emphasizes the importance of self-discovery, questioning information, and understanding the interconnectedness of all things. The editorial stance appears to be one of providing insights and guidance for spiritual growth and understanding, encouraging individuals to explore these concepts for themselves. There is a consistent message of the fluidity of the future and the influence of collective consciousness on outcomes.
