Articles and Discussions

The OM Meditation and Suspended Animation

The newsletter explores the "OM Meditation" technique, presented as a method for building energy (chi, prana, mana) and potentially achieving suspended animation. Cosmic Awareness explains that this technique involves deep breathing, holding the breath, and then exhaling while tensing the entire body, simulating lifting a heavy weight. This process is said to strengthen the aura and improve physical health. The text also references Yogananda's Hong Sau meditation and warns against becoming overly obsessed with meditation, which can lead to social maladjustment or a desire to escape reality.

Alzheimer's and Soul Growth

In response to a question about individuals with Alzheimer's, Cosmic Awareness suggests that while physical alertness may decrease, a form of contemplation and growth occurs on subconscious and other levels, preparing the soul for entry into the afterlife. This process is likened to a baby's development, where physical and mental faculties are developing.

Intergenerational Connection

A question is raised about the potential for senior citizens and youth to help each other. Cosmic Awareness indicates that such interaction could be valuable if organized properly, but acknowledges potential challenges such as fear, judgment, and differing values between generations. It suggests that mutual understanding and respect are crucial for successful interaction.

Breathwork, Chi, and Mana

The article "HOW CHI CAN BE USED IN DAILY LIFE AND FOR HEALING (THE OM MEDITATION)" details how breathwork, combined with blood sugar, can build one's aura or mana. It emphasizes the importance of having adequate blood sugar levels before engaging in breathing techniques. The text also describes a specific breathing exercise involving counts of 12 for inhalation, holding, and exhalation, followed by tensing the body, which is said to create a significant charge of prana or chi.

The Secret of Suspended Animation

This section elaborates on suspended animation, explaining that yogis can achieve this state by slowing their heart rate through oxygenation and body tensing. The entity remains alive and conscious, appearing to be in a death-like state until the body's energies require more oxygen, prompting a return to consciousness.

Yogananda's Hong Sau Meditation

This technique is recommended, with references to Yogananda's correspondence course and his book, "Autobiography of a Yogi." The importance of not becoming fanatical or using meditation for escapism is stressed.

The Story of Ulysses and OM Meditation Dangers

The story of Ulysses is presented as a parable for yogic meditation, with the Sirens representing the allure of deep meditative states. The text warns that some individuals have gone "mad" through excessive focus on OM meditation, becoming detached from physical reality.

Karma and Karmic Debt

Several questions address karma. Cosmic Awareness clarifies that people do not always deserve what happens to them, as events can be influenced by external circumstances or "Dark Forces." The concept of karmic debt is discussed, with the idea that it generally needs to be balanced, often within five lifetimes. Forgiveness is presented as a powerful option to resolve karmic relationships and debts. The "eye for an eye" concept is deemed ineffective and archaic, with compensation being a more balanced approach.

Origin of Oil on Earth

Responding to a question about oil's origin, Cosmic Awareness supports the theory that it resulted from a cosmic battle involving Venus and Maldek. It suggests that Venus's atmospheric elements mixed with Earth's oxygen, or that oceans from Venus spilled onto Earth. This is contrasted with the theory of oil originating from dinosaurs and vegetation.

The Book of Enoch and Biblical Removal

Regarding the Book of Enoch, Cosmic Awareness states it was removed from the Bible because its content was not deemed suitable for the masses and would have doubled the Bible's size. The text notes that these "Lost Books" are now available through metaphysical bookstores.

"Blessed Are The Poor in Spirit"

This phrase is interpreted as referring to those who are discouraged or lack hope, with Jesus's words intended to offer them encouragement.

The Dead Sea Scrolls and Nag Hammadi Scrolls

Cosmic Awareness suggests that the Israeli government is suppressing the Dead Sea Scrolls because they are not favorable to the Hebrew narrative and could be derogatory to the Hebrew religion. Similarly, the scrolls' potential impact on Christianity is mentioned, as they may suggest Jesus was not the sole figure crucified. The lack of concerted effort for their release is attributed to both Israeli and Christian interests.

Persian Entity Crest and Jasus Ben Hadira

Information is provided about an ancient Persian teacher named Crest (or Chrest), who is considered a spiritual teacher and a separate individual from Christ, though sometimes cross-linked. The existence of Jasus Ben Hadira is acknowledged, but no further information is provided.

The Nazarene and the Jesus Story Composite

This section discusses the Nazarene figure as part of a composite creation for the Jesus story, suggesting Templar involvement in preserving a bloodline and promoting claims of divinity. It posits that the larger composite of the Jesus story draws from ancient religions like those of Buddha and Krishna.

New World Order and the Aquarian Age

The Maitreya figure is mentioned in relation to ushering in the Aquarian Age, using water and performing "miracles" as part of a strategy to create an impression of divinity. This is linked to Masonic symbolism and the transition from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age, with potential for a "sacrifice" of Christians by the New World Order.

Symbolism of Pisces and Aquarius

The transition from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age is explored through symbolism, referencing the sacrifice of the lamb (Aries) and the birth of the "Fisher King" (Pisces). The symbolism of two fish and five loaves of bread in the New Testament is also discussed in relation to Pisces and Virgo.

People Who Create Stigmata

In response to a question about stigmata, the newsletter mentions Theresa Neumann and Padre Pio, noting that "Amazing Randy" has questioned the phenomenon's proof. No definitive information is provided on the subject within this excerpt.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual exploration, the nature of consciousness, and the interpretation of ancient wisdom and cosmic events. Cosmic Awareness consistently emphasizes personal spiritual growth, understanding karma, and the interconnectedness of all things. The editorial stance appears to be one of providing insights into esoteric knowledge, encouraging self-awareness, and offering guidance on navigating spiritual and physical realities. There is a consistent emphasis on the "Cosmic Awareness" as the source of information, often presented as a channeled entity providing answers to reader questions.

This issue of "Cosmic Awareness," dated May 2, 1988 (Volume 11, Issue 5-2-3-88), is published by Cosmic Awareness Communications and focuses on spiritual and metaphysical topics. The cover headline poses the question: "WHY DO SPIRITUAL TEACHERS SAY IT'S IMPORTANT TO EVOLVE SPIRITUALLY?"

Key Articles and Discussions

Stigmata and Self-Hypnosis

The issue begins with an anecdote about Theresa Neumann, who was observed by Hitler's staff while exhibiting stigmata during Lent. Cosmic Awareness explains this phenomenon as a potential result of intense self-hypnosis, where an entity's strong belief and fixation on religious suffering can manifest physical symptoms like wounds on the hands. It notes that stage magicians can also perform unusual feats using hypnosis, including stopping bleeding or pain.

Jack Schwartz's Self-Healing

A story is shared about Jack Schwartz, who, after a severe leg injury in World War II, managed to walk to town for help, finding his leg nearly healed upon arrival. This is presented as an example of the mind's power and determination in healing.

Karma and the End of Maya

Responding to a question about Sinaka Kumara's prediction of the end of karma in 1995, Cosmic Awareness clarifies that karma is fundamentally the law of cause and effect. It suggests that while the interpretation of 'karma' might vary, the law of cause and effect itself is not ending. Changes in cosmic conditions, such as entering a photon belt, might alter the manifestation or intensity of karmic consequences, potentially making punishment less harsh. The concept of 'instant karma' is also discussed as a possibility with increased spiritual sensitivity.

Illusion and Maya

Cosmic Awareness addresses the idea of an "end to Maya, samsara and illusion." Maya is defined as illusion experienced through the five senses, which dictate an entity's reality. Changes related to the photon belt could alter these sensory illusions, leading to a greater awareness of non-material energies.

Inorganic Matter in the Fourth Density

Regarding Mario's question about inorganic matter in the fourth density, Cosmic Awareness states that it becomes less dense. Gaseous, vapor, or astral energies might become more notable or dense, making them easier to perceive.

Polarization and Ego

The discussion on polarization continues, with Cosmic Awareness explaining that while polarization (me vs. not me) is associated with ego and separateness, it diminishes as ego diminishes. However, it does not entirely disappear in the fourth density. The concept of sacrificing ego to God is presented as a temporary union with the Divine, requiring conscious effort to maintain.

Spiritual Growth and Effort

In response to a question from Daniel Dewelt, Cosmic Awareness emphasizes the importance of making a consistent effort to evolve spiritually. It suggests that lingering in negative circumstances or behaviors increases the risk of regression, while advancing leads to liberation from suffering. Three paths to spiritual development are outlined: the path of sorrow and suffering (slowest), the path of service to others (faster), and the path of alchemy or changing consciousness (fastest). The value of spiritual growth is seen in escaping the sorrows and struggles of the physical plane.

Going Through Life Without Worrying

Cosmic Awareness addresses the idea of experiencing life without worry, acknowledging that entities will inevitably create some karma, both positive and negative. Acting with awareness of consequences is key. It notes that entities not pursuing spiritual direction tend to drift and can easily perform actions leading to negative consequences, often descending into despair before seeking to improve.

The Easy Route and Tragedy

The magazine warns that taking the 'easy route' can lead to a significant fall into despair. While it might seem appealing, it is ultimately against an entity's own interest, requiring a much greater effort to recover from the descent.

Men and Responsibility

A section discusses the perceived decline in responsibility among some men, attributing it partly to societal factors like drug and alcohol abundance. It suggests that some men are not maturing, expecting partners to fulfill maternal roles, and failing to provide for their families, leading to relationship issues. This is seen as a sign of regression, with many entities needing to face a "rude awakening" to climb back to their original state.

Alchemical Growth and Meditation

Cosmic Awareness defines alchemy as the transformation of perception and consciousness. Taking development classes, studying metaphysics, engaging in rituals, or even reading a book can trigger alchemical growth by altering one's perception. Meditation is explicitly identified as a tool that can trigger alchemy, leading to changes in attitude, understanding, and consciousness. The issue also touches upon the concept of the unseen creating the seen world through the Universal Mind's dreaming.

The Path of Suffering vs. Service vs. Alchemy

The "Path of Suffering" is described as the slowest, leading to resentment and further descent. The "Path of Service" lies between suffering and alchemy, offering greater opportunities for learning. The "Path of Alchemy" is the fastest, involving conscious change and often leading entities to naturally engage in service.

Negative Rituals and New Year

The issue concludes with a section on countering negative rituals, particularly around New Year's. It suggests a five-minute nightly visualization practice for a week, involving imaging the Earth with a pulsating halo of Light, counting 144 pulsations, and then returning to the Earth. This practice is believed to bring rewards through the Law of Gratitude and can be used for healing oneself and others.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual evolution, the nature of consciousness, karma, and the power of the mind. The editorial stance, as conveyed by Cosmic Awareness, strongly advocates for conscious effort in spiritual growth, emphasizing the benefits of moving beyond suffering and embracing transformation. It highlights the interconnectedness of actions and consequences (karma) and the potential for self-healing through mental discipline and spiritual practice. The magazine encourages a proactive approach to life, urging entities to take responsibility for their spiritual development and to utilize tools like meditation and service to achieve higher states of consciousness.
