Key Articles and Themes
Why Some Just Can't Find a Mate
The main article addresses the difficulties some entities face in finding a mate. It emphasizes that entities desire personal comfort and are attracted to those who make them feel comfortable. However, it notes exceptions where entities seek inspiration and discipline from others. The article highlights that comfort is subjective and entities need to communicate their needs and feelings to avoid discomfort, which can lead to relationship severance. It stresses the importance of recognizing one's own needs and finding compatibility, suggesting that if compromises become too burdensome, the relationship may not be worth the effort.
The Mothering Instinct: Is This Why Some Young Girls Stay With Losers?
This section explores the phenomenon of young women staying with men who are perceived as 'losers' – those involved in drugs, drink, or lacking ambition. It questions whether this is driven by a 'motherly instinct' to nurture or 'mother' the man. The "Cosmic Awareness" suggests that this is a complex issue involving the instinct for perpetuation of the race and survival of the fittest. It describes a reverse Pygmalion concept, where women see a 'diamond in the rough' and attempt to 'make over' the man, though this rarely results in fundamental change. The article also touches on the 'love bug' not biting deep enough, leading to men leaving women with children.
"Getting Educated" on TV and Beer
This segment addresses the rationalization of spending excessive time watching television and drinking beer as a form of education. "Awareness" indicates this is an aspect of society where entities are "attended" like children, with creature comforts placating them and assisting them in feeling cared for, often at the expense of attending to their own responsibilities.
Maturity: Many Go to the Grave Without Achieving It
This section defines maturity as the capability to take responsibility for oneself and others, and to attend to the needs of self and society. It criticizes the immature view that maturity means indulging in smoking, drinking, and relying on others for care, contrasting it with the responsible actions of attending to one's own welfare and health.
Is The World Moving Toward A Matriarchal Society?
Responding to a question, "Awareness" states that while society is giving women more respect, it is far from being a matriarchal society. It notes that mothers have had a strong influence on boys, sometimes distorting values, and that some girls are taught to be manipulative. It also acknowledges issues related to fathers, particularly over-intimacy or control over daughters. However, it suggests that for healthy families, changes are occurring for the best, giving women a sense of equality and place.
The Idea That Women are "Inferior"-Where Did This Come From?
This section traces the roots of the idea of female inferiority primarily to the Christian religion, which replaced earlier religions with feminine goddesses. The subjugation of women to motherhood is highlighted, with the ideal placement being that of a mother. In contrast, Eastern traditions viewed women more as property. The "Cosmic Awareness" indicates that neither recognized women as having superior qualities or a special place beyond what man designated.
Are Women "Inferior" Because They Can Give Birth?
This question explores whether men's emotions of fear, awe, and anger related to a woman's ability to give birth contribute to the idea of female inferiority. "Awareness" suggests a degree of subconscious envy in men, as they cannot create life in the same way, though they may enjoy not experiencing the pain of childbirth. It also notes that men suffer from sexual urges that women may envy.
Why Women Stay In Abusive Relationships?
This article addresses why women remain in abusive relationships, suggesting that a lack of training in how to "dominate the male in a proper way" leads them to become victims of the male ego. It explains that women can trigger male aggression or gentleness through their interactions. The "Cosmic Awareness" emphasizes that degrading a man's ego or making him feel threatened can lead to aggressive behavior. Conversely, respecting a man and allowing him to express himself can foster gentleness. The article notes that men often seek to please females, but negative past experiences can lead to hostility. It also points out that men have difficulty expressing themselves verbally, especially when interrupted, and that women can de-escalate conflict by allowing men to express their feelings.
He Punishes and Abuses Ava Gardner While Pleading to Marry Him
This case study illustrates the concept of an entity punishing and abusing a woman while simultaneously pleading for marriage. "Awareness" explains this as a manifestation of ego threat and rejection, where the entity resorts to physical power when unable to achieve his desires through other means. It highlights that men prefer action over talk, while women prefer talk over action.
Violence Occurs in 50% of American Marriages
This section discusses the influence of "slasher" movies on violence, suggesting that these films can influence young minds and lead to the acting out of violent behaviors under stress or frustration. It also touches upon the idea that women may be seen as needing men for "sperm and support."
Those Hurricanes: Natural or Something Else?
This article questions the natural origin of hurricanes like Andrew and Iniki, suggesting they may have been artificially created by forces related to Gorbachev as a form of "weather warfare" to exert economic pressure on the United States for assistance to Russia. It implies that Russia possesses advanced electronic warfare techniques that can be used without detection.
A Shock in Consciousness Must Occur
This piece discusses the necessity of a significant "shock in consciousness" to awaken the masses, suggesting that conventional wars or conflicts may not be sufficient. It notes that entities are often fascinated by images of conflict and violence.
The Interpreters of Cosmic Awareness
This section likens the work of "A.R.E." in presenting messages through Edgar Cayce to the opening of the heart chakra. It suggests that future messages will relate to the pineal and pituitary chakras, unlocking mysteries of the Sphinx and Pyramid.
Fundamental Christian Groups: A Conspiracy?
"Awareness" addresses concerns about fundamental Christian groups espousing political activism, bigotry, and hatred. It suggests a combination of genuine fear of societal changes and potential infiltration by conspiratorial elements. The "Cosmic Awareness" likens their situation to dinosaurs facing extinction, feeling threatened by societal shifts and seeking to return to a past of greater stability and religious power, though it notes that hostility is not reflective of Christ Consciousness.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the complexities of human relationships, particularly romantic ones, emphasizing the importance of comfort, communication, and mutual respect. There is a consistent exploration of psychological dynamics, including ego, self-pity, and manipulation. The publication also addresses societal trends, such as changing gender roles and the influence of organized religion and media. The "Cosmic Awareness" perspective often offers explanations rooted in spiritual or metaphysical principles, suggesting that entities have the power to influence their reality through understanding and conscious choice. The editorial stance appears to be one of providing insights and guidance for personal growth and improved relationships, while also critically examining societal issues and questioning conventional narratives, such as the naturalness of certain disasters.
This issue of "The Cosmic Awareness Spiritual Development Course" (Lesson Number 10) delves into the nature of consciousness and behavior, with a particular focus on the distinction between goal-seeking and responsive modes of existence. The publication is presented as a spiritual newsletter, likely from the early 1990s, given the date '7-2-5-92'.
Goal-Seeking vs. Responsive Behavior
The lesson begins by posing a question about the purpose of goal-seeking, crystallization of concepts, and the need to dissolve erroneous beliefs. Cosmic Awareness explains that previous lessons have covered the individual's development from a perspective of separation to one of interconnectedness.
This lesson focuses on two forms of behavior: goal-seeking and responding to urgencies. Goal-seeking is characterized by an individual focusing intensely on a particular interest, concept, or 'goal,' which can become hypnotic. This intense focus can lead to a shutting down of awareness of anything outside that fixation, creating a tunnel vision or 'blinders.' While this can be used for manifestation, an obsession can lead to the entity being 'consumed' by the interest, becoming 'crystallized' in a certain pattern of behavior. This crystallization, especially when focused on personal gain without regard for others, can lead to a de-humanizing consciousness, though it may result in extreme specialization.
Conversely, responsive entities are motivated by urgencies. They do not necessarily seek goals for personal validation but respond to immediate needs and alarms, whether they are minor (like a cat's meow) or major (like a scream in the night). These urgencies are seen as alarms that draw attention and prompt action. The lesson emphasizes that response begins locally, with oneself and one's immediate circle, before expanding outwards. The analogy of an 'empty pot cannot pour' is used to illustrate the need for self-care before serving others.
The core difference lies in motivation: goal-seekers are motivated by self-promotion and personal identification, while responsive entities are motivated by external urgencies, acting as open channels for higher forces. Responsive entities, by reconciling imbalanced forces, move towards harmony and service, developing responsibility through their ability to address urgent needs.
The "Gloff" and "Gloffism" Example
To illustrate fixation, the lesson uses the hypothetical example of the word "Gloff" and "Gloffism." An entity creates the word and begins to associate it with everything they like. Over time, this leads to a belief system where "Gloff" represents all that is good, and anything not "Gloff" is bad. This can escalate into a "Gloffism cult" where a division occurs between those who adhere to "Gloffism" and those who do not, potentially leading to conflict and the "Gloffists" winning, reinforcing their belief system.
The Reptilian Brain and Separateness
The issue also addresses the "Significance of Our Reptilian Brain" in response to a question from David Hossie. The reptilian brain is described as the older, primitive brain associated with survival, basic appetites (reproduction, fear, hunger, lust). It is contrasted with the mammalian brain (emotions, social bonding) and the neo-cortex (ideas, language, mathematics).
When entities experience strong fears or threats to their individuality, the survivalist aspect of the reptilian brain kicks in. The lesson suggests that preparing individuals for potential fear during experiences like flotation therapy can help them move through it more effectively.
The concept of "Reptoids" is mentioned in relation to a dominant reptilian genetic factor, and the question of transforming such conditions is raised. The lesson then touches upon the "First Separateness," defined as the illusion of an entity perceiving itself as fragmented or separated from the rest of consciousness. This self-importance is seen as an illusion, as all consciousness is interconnected. The "Fall of Lucifer" is presented as a symbol of the ego and the self-centered aspect of individuality.
The Illusion of Separateness
This section elaborates on the illusion of separateness, explaining that believing oneself to be fragmented leads to a sense of uniqueness and outstandingness, but it is not a reality. Entities who feel separate tend to wallow in self-importance. The "two against the world" mentality is discussed, where individuals seek others to join them in their perceived separateness, forming gangs against the perceived whole. This is ultimately seen as dealing with concepts based on illusion, as all things are interconnected.
Psychic Scams and Gullibility
A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to analyzing a letter from "Madame Vargas" to Joyce Terry, a purported psychic offering lottery winning numbers. Cosmic Awareness dissects the letter, identifying it as a common scam. The psychic claims clairvoyant abilities and a dream revealing specific lottery numbers and amounts ($186,784.63). The analysis highlights how the psychic uses specific details to create an impression of accuracy, appeals to greed by promising wealth, and then uses fear (of untrustworthy friends, of losing the fortune) to make the entity dependent.
The psychic's request for a "small offering" to the "Institute of Cosmic Awareness" is exposed as the true motive, disguised as a desire to help others. Cosmic Awareness points out that the entity is likely using a mailing list and that the "Institute of Cosmic Awareness" may be a phony institution. The tactic of demanding prompt action is also analyzed as a way to elicit a spontaneous donation before the recipient can think critically.
Handling Societal Chaos and Meditation
Another question addresses the increasing hostility and contention in society. Cosmic Awareness likens it to a global spiritual psychotherapy class, drawing parallels to experiments with rats in confinement, where overcrowding led to agitation, anxiety, and violence. The lesson suggests that societal compression and the breakdown of value systems contribute to this negativity.
As a remedy, the importance of finding inner peace through meditation and quiet periods is emphasized. This allows entities to relax, be respectful, and reduce anxiety. The lesson warns that frantic agitation only adds to societal chaos, especially for young people seeking excitement.
Other Topics
Briefly mentioned are the "Return To Atlantis" book by Ruth Norman and Charles Spagel, which is deemed to have some substance but also a significant amount of imagination and fabrication. The concept of "Group Meditation" is also introduced, suggesting that groups can influence consciousness, weather, violence, and crime rates.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of consciousness, the development of the individual, and the distinction between genuine spiritual growth and illusions or manipulative tactics. The editorial stance is critical of self-deception, fixation, and exploitation, advocating for genuine self-awareness, responsiveness to true urgencies, and a grounded approach to spiritual information. The publication promotes a holistic view of consciousness and encourages critical evaluation of spiritual claims and practices.
