World Events: A Spiritual Perspective

The lead article, "World Events 2002 and Those Coming", emphasizes the need to view global and local events from a long-term spiritual perspective. It suggests that the current era is marked by a consciousness shift and a spiritual revolution, moving away from traditional religious guidance towards an "inner path." Humanity is undergoing a reevaluation of core assumptions, particularly regarding spirituality. The article critiques past religious explanations for good and bad events, which it claims have created a sense of powerlessness and perpetuated concepts like "Satan" to justify oppression and control through shame, guilt, and fear.

It posits that humanity needs to recognize its own creative role and explore its positive potential. The current global upheavals are presented as a necessary "crash course" to awaken humanity to the spiritual meaning of what it has created. Events like September 11th, 2001, are viewed as catalysts for accelerated positive growth, prompting an examination of institutionalized beliefs and guiding future steps.

A Worldwide Personal Examination of the Power of Fear

The issue highlights a global examination of fear, noting how ripples of fear and avoidance impact the global economy and how terrorism exemplifies the power of fear. It suggests that humanity has historically failed to see and harness the power of negative emotions like rage, hate, and anger, leading to destructive acts born from fear and anger. These acts are described as rejections of community and self-destructive processes. The article notes that emotional manipulation, though long used, is now becoming more consciously recognized.

The Veil of Self-Deception to be Raised Quickly and Painfully

Entities are encouraged to maintain focus on long-term themes and the positive destiny unfolding, recognizing the meaning within painful events. The cosmic or spiritual time scale is presented as much broader than the immediate present. The spiritual life is defined as being responsive to the needs of others, achievable in any situation.

The Core Meaning of Spirituality

This section delves into the redefinition of spirituality, emphasizing the ability to extract meaning from experiences and understand the nature of good and bad. It critiques simplistic religious explanations and the concept of "Satan" as tools for control, leading to a general state of habit, blindness, and automatic withdrawal driven by pain. Humanity is urged to recognize its creative role and explore its innate potential.

The Outcome of Religious Spirituality

Religious spirituality is seen as having left humans with a stunted sense of self, reacting to the past and only able to extract meaning from unfolding events. The tendency is to blame others, remain confused, or turn to superstition. However, the current era of accelerated growth will bring tumultuous change, with short-term events triggering rapid swings between expansion and rebalancing, all carrying deeper meaning in the long-term perspective.

Understanding the Spiritual Meaning and Purpose of Anger

Anger is presented as a counterpoint to fear, with a focus on its spiritual meaning and purpose. Righteous anger, when used properly, is seen as a force that builds trust and human connections, having historically driven positive change through rebellion and revolution. The article encourages reacquaintance with anger, viewing it not as a sin but as a natural spiritual safeguard against injustice and coercive control.

Examples When Anger is Righteous

Righteous anger is defined as occurring in the moment due to legitimate obstacles to liberty and equal opportunity, and not manifesting as shame, resentment, contempt, rage, or hate. These complex forms of anger are seen as messages of maladaptive beliefs based on unresolved angers from external injustice.

How To Understand the Events of 2003

Entities are advised to focus on three spiritual tasks: understanding the nature and extent of fear, understanding the nature of anger and its call for justice, and understanding trust as the antidote to both fear and anger. This process is crucial for expanding into an optimal destiny.

Why Obese People Are So Fat and What They Can Do To Reverse This Deplorable Situation

This section addresses a question about obesity, attributing it primarily to poor digestion and a lack of energy extraction from food. The body stores excess fat because it doesn't have the necessary digestive enzymes. The advice given includes:

• Getting More Digestive Enzymes: Using enzymes like Bromelain (from pineapple) and papain (from papaya) regularly can help extract energy from food.
• Separating Fats and Carbohydrates: Avoiding eating fats and carbohydrates in the same meal can prevent fat storage.
• Avoiding Calorie-Restricting Diets: Diets that restrict calories can lower metabolism. Instead, focus on fat-burning foods like green leafy vegetables and protein, without creating hunger.
• Drinking Plenty of Water: Water before and after meals can help with fullness and reduce fat intake.
• Snacks vs. Heavy Meals: Snacks can be helpful, but proper enzyme intake with meals is crucial.
• Hydration: Drinking plenty of water before and after meals is recommended.

It is emphasized that this is general advice and individuals should consult a doctor for specific health concerns.

Why NASA Withholds Mars Photos

This section discusses the possibility that NASA intentionally withholds certain Mars photos. The question arises from the loss of the Mars Observer spacecraft and speculation that NASA might be keeping data secret. The article suggests that if clear photos of a "face on Mars" or evidence of past life were obtained, NASA might suppress them to avoid disrupting scientific and religious foundations. The claim is made that a tabloid published a clear photo, and NASA could potentially deny its authenticity or claim technical malfunctions to control information.

Follow-Up Question: Is NASA the only source that can receive data from this satellite?

Cosmic Awareness indicates that depending on coding and frequencies, NASA can scramble or confuse information to ensure only they can receive it, or they can leave it open to the public, which is less common.

The Law of Unity

This section explains the "Law of Unity" as recognizing no separateness, seeing all apparent divisions (like gender, cause and effect, part and whole) as integrated parts of a total picture. It emphasizes the "At-One-Ment" process of the All One Being, where all cells and souls work together. The Law of Unity acknowledges division but stresses oneness, viewing loss and gain, life and death as part of the spinning wheel of fortune based on the Law of Change and the Law of Magic.

Will Fingerprints Reveal You're Gay?

This section addresses a Weekly World News tabloid claim that fingerprints can reveal sexual orientation. Cosmic Awareness states this is not strongly verifiable, estimating about 60% accuracy. It suggests a tendency exists but does not necessarily indicate innate homosexuality, as prints can change over time with entities' attitudes and behavior. The article notes that the tabloid's claim is based on research showing a higher percentage of left-handed individuals have more ridges on their left fingertips.

Are Great Avatars Here on Earth Today?

This section explores the concept of "Avatars" – individuals with mind-over-matter abilities similar to Jesus. It confirms that there are indeed a considerable number of such entities on Earth, past, present, and future, who have experienced and realized the ability for mind to influence matter. Many of these Avatars prefer to keep a low profile.

Quantum Theory Scientists Moving in this Direction

The article notes that modern science, particularly quantum theory, is moving towards the idea that the observer's mind affects the outcome and nature of the observed.

How to Dissolve a Cloud and Prove You Have Mind Over Matter

A practical exercise is described: focusing intently on a small cloud until it diminishes or dissolves. This demonstrates the mind's power over matter and requires concentration and "youthful vigor" (described as Odic Force or Auric Energy, built by sugar and oxygenation).

How to Use the Huna Prayer to Create "Magic"

This section explains a Huna prayer technique for manifestation: visualizing a request, wrapping it in White Light, and blowing it upwards with the intention of it being manifested. It emphasizes defining prayers clearly and using them for desires that help oneself and others, avoiding competitive issues.

If Your Manifestation Doesn't Happen, Here's Why

Difficulties in manifestation can occur if the prayer affects others negatively or detracts from their well-being. It is best to use the Huna prayer for reconciliation rather than competition.

Can Ritual "Psyche Out" the Opposition?

This section discusses psychological edges in competitive sports. It suggests that rituals like prayer before a game can create a psychological advantage by intimidating opponents who might be superstitious. Other methods like painting faces or using perceived witchcraft are also mentioned as ways to gain a psychological edge. The key is that the team believes in these techniques, which can boost performance.

He's A Lighting Rod for Abuse: Continually Gets Mugged, Robbed and Cheated

This section addresses why some people seem to attract negative attention and become targets for mugging or abuse. It suggests that how a person walks and carries themselves influences a mugger's decision. Those who appear purposeful and confident are less likely to be targeted than those who seem uncertain, weak, or display signs of wealth.

Using the White Light For Protection

Wrapping oneself in "White Light" is described as a very effective protection against muggers. It creates a spiritual energy field that discourages attackers and instills confidence in the wearer. It also attracts guardian angels.

New York Beggar Projects Dignity and Wisdom

This section explores how a street person in New York City projected an aura of dignity and wisdom. It introduces the concept of a "magnetic center" within an individual, which draws things they are interested in and contributes to their individuality. This magnetic center can be focused on various pursuits, from real estate to finding bargains or specific cards. The street person is described as having an inner worth and seeing others as potential associates, projecting confidence without fear or pushiness.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual growth, consciousness, and self-empowerment. The publication consistently promotes a perspective that emphasizes the individual's role in creating their reality and the importance of understanding and mastering emotions like fear and anger. There's a strong undercurrent of skepticism towards traditional religious structures and a focus on inner spiritual development. The editorial stance appears to be one of guidance and education, offering insights and practical advice on navigating life's challenges from a spiritual and cosmic viewpoint. The publication also shows interest in phenomena often considered fringe, such as UFOs and psychic abilities, while grounding them in a spiritual framework.

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" (Volume 9, Issue #371, dated 2002) from Cosmic Awareness Communications explores a wide range of topics, blending spiritual insights with discussions on contemporary events and esoteric phenomena. The cover features a cartoon depicting a child asking a grandfather about war, with a newspaper headline about the US on the edge of war in Iraq, and an image of a person at a computer, hinting at themes of conflict and technology.

Attentiveness, Communication, and Pithy Sentences

The issue begins by examining the concept of attentiveness, noting how a person who focuses intently on something becomes noticeable. This is contrasted with scattered energy. The idea is presented that fewer words, when well-chosen and pithy, can be more significant and memorable than lengthy explanations. Examples like "Out of sight, out of mind" and "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" are used to illustrate how memorable sentences, regardless of their absolute truth, gain power through repetition.

The text also discusses individuals like Oscar Wilde and Dr. Samuel Johnson, whose every word was meticulously recorded. This is attributed to their ability to probe thoughts deeply and focus on the core message, akin to an archer aiming precisely, rather than a probe that circles its target. Johnny Carson's spontaneous one-liners are also analyzed, suggesting that such abilities are learned, often through a conscious effort to be quiet and precise when speaking.

Avoiding Small Talk and the Power of Silence

A section titled "The Importance of Avoiding Small Talk" suggests that refraining from unnecessary conversation can lend weight to one's words. When a silent person finally speaks, their words are perceived as more significant due to the contrast. However, the issue cautions that this perceived significance might not always be deserved, as the words themselves might be simple or even nonsensical, but the unusualness of the speaker draws attention.

A Nightmare and Alien Invasion Warnings

An article details a question from Jack Manuel of Paramus, New Jersey, who experienced a nightmare warning him not to write a letter about a "fake alien invasion and fake rapture." The dream involved stern figures resembling government agents. Cosmic Awareness suggests this was a subconscious warning to avoid the experience, indicating that while the "dream agents" were not literal government agents, they represented a clear and meaningful warning.

Spiritual Practices and Beliefs

The magazine delves into various spiritual practices and beliefs:

• Brazilian Spirit Religion: This section addresses the question of whether spirits truly take over dancers in this religion. Cosmic Awareness explains that it's often the subconscious mind taking over through rhythmic movement, creating a sense of being controlled by a spirit, which can be beneficial for releasing tension and promoting healing. It clarifies that actual spirit possession is rare.
• The Purifying Grace From God (Subud, Quakers, and Speaking in Tongues): This part explores the concept of "Grace" as a purifying force, potentially present in biblical Pentecost, early Quaker meetings, and the Subud Latihan. It suggests that these practices involve setting aside the conscious mind to allow a higher spirit to move the entity. The text warns against the potential for negative spirits to influence individuals and emphasizes the importance of intention and supervision. It also discusses "speaking in tongues," noting that while some instances are genuine, many are performative efforts to appear spiritual.
• Receiving Grace From The Divine: This section reiterates that Grace is a gift from God, not something entities can manufacture. Surrendering the ego and personal prestige to the Divine is presented as the quickest route to spiritual growth. Rituals are highlighted as a means to impress the subconscious and make changes in consciousness more real.
• Awareness Development Classes: The importance of these classes is emphasized, stating that spiritual growth requires more than just written or spoken words; it involves active participation and experiences that engage the subconscious.

Investments and Future Preparedness

Amidst spiritual discussions, the magazine offers practical advice on investments. In response to concerns about upcoming global changes, it suggests diversifying assets into areas like precious metals and collector's items. It also advises caution regarding computer technology investments due to potential major shifts. Investments in medical companies, pharmaceuticals, transportation, manufacturing, and real estate in areas with economic recovery potential are also recommended.

NORAD and Alien Technology

A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to "Strange Reports Around NORAD." A questioner named Laurie relays a claim that NORAD's Cheyenne Mountain was found to be already hollowed out and contained alien-type technology, including crystal-powered devices and craft. Cosmic Awareness confirms that underground crystals are used by aliens for communication and energy, and that the government has explored these areas. It suggests a treaty agreement exists between the government and aliens, involving a sharing of technology and the area, with aliens appearing to have more control.

Spiritual Energy and the New Age

The magazine concludes by discussing the "Spiritual Energy on this Plane has Peaked." It describes a mushrooming growth of spiritual energy since 1963, leading to an unprecedented increase in consciousness. This energy is seen as stimulating spiritual seeking and encouraging entities to uplift their own spiritual nature. The issue suggests that by the year 2000, the spiritual density would be so high as to facilitate a transition to another dimension. It encourages entities to assist in spiritual evolvement and to consider forming groups to give Development Classes.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

Recurring themes include the nature of consciousness, the power of intention, the importance of spiritual growth, and the interconnectedness of all energies. The magazine promotes a non-dogmatic approach, encouraging readers to question, explore, and discover truth for themselves. The editorial stance appears to be one of guiding individuals towards higher spiritual awareness and understanding of cosmic principles, while also addressing contemporary concerns and phenomena from an esoteric perspective.
