The Passage of Time (Violence and Taking Risks)

This section discusses how technological advancement has led to increased speed and potential for violence. It contrasts modern warfare with historical methods, noting that while modern society has more just laws, the ease of causing widespread destruction has increased. The article highlights how modern vehicles, though safer and more maneuverable, also encourage more daring and potentially hazardous driving. It suggests that irresponsibility on the roads reflects a broader tendency to take chances in life, often sacrificing safety for comfort or thrill. The concept of the "Golden Mean" of the Greeks is introduced as a principle for living a harmonious and well-balanced life by avoiding extremes. The article also touches on the risks associated with gambling and the importance of considering the odds realistically.

The Changing Surname Tradition

This section addresses a question about the future of surname traditions in the context of sexual equality. It notes that as more women keep their maiden names, the naming of children becomes a point of contention, with potential motivations ranging from ensuring child support to establishing custody claims. The article suggests that until a clear pattern for naming children emerges, uncertainty will continue.

Is Numerology A Valid Concept?

This section explores the validity of numerology, describing it as a "nebulous science" with less basis than astrology. It explains that numerology assigns numbers to letters, assuming these numbers carry energy. However, it points out that the English alphabet's 26 letters are an artificial construct, and different cultures use alphabets with varying numbers of letters, leading to inconsistent interpretations. The article argues that numerology relies on generalities that can be applied to almost anyone, making it subjective rather than scientific. It contrasts numerology with astrology, which, while also using broad terms, can be more precise in pinpointing individual characteristics.

Radiation From a Beehive?

This question explores the phenomenon of radiation emanating from beehives. The article suggests this has validity, comparing the honeycomb structure to pyramids in its ability to emit energy. The hexagonal shape of the honeycomb is said to carry ionized energies along its lines.

Images Suddenly Appear on the Skin

This section addresses a question about indelible drawings appearing suddenly on people's skin. The article expresses skepticism, suggesting it might be instances of people getting tattoos that are later noticed, or that the stories may be fictional.

Cowpox Vaccinations and Cancer

This section examines a statement from a 1957 book suggesting that cancer was practically unknown before cowpox vaccinations were introduced. The Cosmic Awareness indicates a possible connection, suggesting that cowpox, an offspring of syphilis, might have been transmitted to humans through cattle and milk, leading to cancer. It notes that not everyone would develop cancer, as it depends on individual body chemistry.

The Rampant Use of Put-Down Humor

This section discusses the prevalence of put-down humor and its impact on self-esteem. It suggests forming a "mutual admiration society" where individuals offer each other encouragement and positive feedback. The article posits that this can help entities gain self-esteem and foster mutual respect, even if it requires conscious effort.

Charles Keating-A Modern Jekyl & Hyde

This section analyzes the character of Charles Keating, described as a "Jekyl and Hyde" figure who engaged in greed and corruption while also being devoutly Catholic. The article explores how such dual personalities can form, suggesting that entities often have conflicting aspects and may use acts of kindness to pacify guilt from extreme actions.

Did Jesus Come to America?

This question explores the possibility of Jesus visiting America and giving teachings. The Cosmic Awareness indicates that more than one entity has been referred to as Jesus the Christ. It suggests that one entity was crucified, while another, Jesus of Nazareth, traveled to India and other regions, and was even brought to a spacecraft for restoration. The information is deemed controversial and not fully published at this time.

Health Hints From Personal Readings

This section provides advice for hearing loss and nervous stomach issues. For hearing loss, it suggests meditating with deep breaths and focusing on internal sounds. It also relates hearing loss to non-receptive attitudes. For nervous stomach issues, it recommends chamomile tea and limited use of valerian root.

Problems and Uncertainties After Seeing a Fortune-Teller

This section addresses a personal question from Susie Quick, who feels haunted by a psychic's predictions about her love life and future marriage. The article analyzes how psychics use muscle readings, pupil dilation, and body language to interpret a client's responses. It emphasizes that the future is not fixed and that individuals create their own destiny, encouraging the questioner to work on dissolving limiting beliefs.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of reality, spirituality, and personal development. The magazine consistently emphasizes the power of individual consciousness in shaping destiny and encourages self-awareness and balance. There is a strong inclination to explore unconventional topics, from numerology and UFOs to the spiritual implications of historical figures and modern societal issues. The editorial stance appears to be one of providing insights and guidance from a spiritual or cosmic perspective, encouraging critical thinking while also offering practical advice for personal well-being and growth.

This issue of THE COSMIC AWARENESS SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT COURSE, Volume 2, Lesson Number 1, dated December 22, 2005, is published by Cosmic Awareness Communications from Olympia, Washington, USA. The cover features a cartoon referencing Senator Lieberman as a potential replacement for Rumsfeld, alongside other commentary.

Core Concepts: Consciousness, Creation, and Duality

The central theme of this lesson is the nature of consciousness and creation, explored through the concept of 'Cosmic Awareness.' The 'God's-eye view' is presented as a perspective that allows consciousness to observe itself. The lesson posits that the act of 'seeing' creates a division, a duality, leading to the 'fall of Consciousness' into matter. This process involves the creation of form, mass, and gravity, ultimately leading to the formation of physical bodies and the experience of being an individual entity separate from the Divine.

The 'Fall of Consciousness'

The lesson explains that when a portion of Divine Energy (the 'Principle') becomes interested in what it sees, it can become 'devoured by the interest,' forgetting its origin and becoming trapped. This is likened to the 'fall of man' into matter, where interest gives rise to mass, density, and gravity. The spirit, seeking to experience 'being,' instead engages in the action of 'quest' and 'looking to see,' which creates a desire for more and leads to the formation of physical form.

The Law of Gratitude and Correspondences

The 'Law of Gratitude' is presented as closely related to the 'Law of Karma' and the 'Law of Cause and Effect,' suggesting that energies given out bring back similar energies. The 'Law of Correspondences' ('As above, so below') is also mentioned in relation to the 'magnitude button' and 'multitude button' used by consciousness.

Psychedelics and Spiritual Exploration

The issue addresses the use of psychedelic drugs, particularly LSD, in the context of spiritual enlightenment and past-life connections. It discusses pioneers in LSD research like Leary, Lilly, Hofmann, and Grof, suggesting their collective purpose was to 'pull the rug out from under the world conspirators' and free humanity from materialistic control. The lesson notes that while these drugs opened minds, newer, harder drugs are seen as an attempt by 'Dark Forces' to counter this gain by distorting and closing the mind.

John Lilly and Ketamine

A significant portion is dedicated to Dr. John C. Lilly, exploring the concept of a 'new entity' entering his body after a crash and the role of ketamine. Cosmic Awareness suggests that ketamine allows for altered states of consciousness but is more dangerous than useful. It is implied that entities may have entered Lilly's body to direct his mission, possibly as spirit guides.

UFOs, Aliens, and Popular Culture

The issue touches upon the phenomenon of UFOs and alien consciousness, specifically questioning Nintendo's role-playing games. It suggests that the Japanese are more educated about alien phenomena than Americans, and Nintendo incorporates these themes into its games, reflecting this cultural awareness. The advertisement for a vehicle with alligators dropping from the sky is cited as an example of how alien themes are used in marketing.

Chakras and Healing

Another section explains the function of chakras, described as energy fields around glands that permeate them. These are likened to transformers that regulate energy. The lesson details how the pineal gland is affected by scrutiny and how the pituitary gland signals other glands in response to danger or recognition. It also discusses how problems with sex can affect gonad energies and how emotions are processed through the adrenal glands.

Emotional Expression and Adrenals

The issue differentiates between uncontrolled emotions and freely expressed emotions. It suggests that entities with guilt or fear about expressing emotions may not be in tune with their adrenals. Constructive emotional outbursts, however, indicate a harmonious alignment with the chakras.

Self-Awareness and Personal Growth

Techniques for expanding the 'low self' are discussed, including symbolic rituals, suggestion, meditation, self-examination, and re-imaging past events to create new mental pictures. The concept of observing oneself as an external observer, like a 'clock in the room,' is proposed as a method for gaining insight into one's actions and experiences.

Letting Go of Attachments

A follow-up question from 'Vikki' describes an intense emotional reaction to a minor incident, feeling attacked and betrayed. Cosmic Awareness suggests this incident reflected a past-life karmic pattern related to teasing and that the emotional release helped to stop the 'wheel of karma.'

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue reinforces the core tenets of Cosmic Awareness, emphasizing the interconnectedness of consciousness, the illusory nature of physical reality, and the importance of spiritual awareness. The editorial stance encourages self-exploration, questioning, and personal discovery rather than blind belief. The publication is presented as a tool for those seeking to contribute to the 'New Age' of spiritual consciousness. There is a consistent theme of spiritual warfare against 'Dark Forces' attempting to control humanity through manipulation, drugs, and economic means. The publication also highlights the importance of understanding universal laws and principles for personal and collective growth.
