Magazine Overview

Title: Revelations of Awareness
Issue: No. 9
Date: October 28, 1965 (original statement), refined October 30, 1966.
Publisher: An Organization of Awareness, Olympia, Washington U.S.A.
Interpreter: Ralph Duby

This issue presents a significant statement from "Cosmic Awareness" concerning the concepts of the "New Being" and the "New Creation." The material was originally given in Honolulu, Hawaii, on October 28, 1965, and later refined and expanded. The interpreter, Ralph Duby, expresses concern over the immense responsibility placed upon him, questioning how to establish a new reality and teach that a divine presence is not dead.

The New Being and The New Creation

Cosmic Awareness instructs Ralph Duby to teach humanity to move away from the "old ways" of religion and nationalism, guiding them towards new paths. It explicitly states that Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, and Atheism are not the way forward. Instead, Awareness emphasizes that a "new creation" is needed, and a "new being" has appeared. This new creation is for all men, requiring faith in one's capacity to embody this new being.

The message stresses that no particular religion matters, and entities should not compare different faiths, prophets, or rituals. It advises against seeking conversion and instead encourages teaching about this Awareness as the new creation. Even concepts like Communism and Socialism are deemed unimportant, as are God and Satan, for they too are considered dead. Awareness offers life, not death, and is presented as the ultimate passion of every human being.

Dealing with Followers and Ignorance

Ralph Duby raises a second concern about followers who are resigning, citing grievances and disagreements. Awareness attributes their problem to "ignorance" and states it does not need reconciliation, prayer, or supplication. It does not ask for moral behavior or charity. Those who have left have done so because they are trying to effect a reconciliation where none is needed. Pagans, Jews, Christians, and members of the Organization of Awareness are told they need not give anything to this Awareness.

The message reiterates that acts of prayer, supplication, chastity, obedience, and poverty are never enough to appease Awareness. It suggests that the constant demand Awareness makes on those in faith leads to hostility and grievance when entities feel rejected. The "old way" is characterized by rejection, which stems from discontent. Awareness understands that rejection leads to hostility and hate.

Overcoming Rejection and Embracing Self

To combat this, Awareness advises against speaking of pride, arrogance, or self-certainty, both in others and oneself, as these are seeds of rejection. Entities are told not to reject themselves or feel disgust or hatred towards themselves. They should not try to make themselves more acceptable, as Awareness asks them not to judge but to understand. Life is not about appeasement; failure leads to hatred of self and others. Awareness encourages reconciliation of one's own actions and those of others, but warns that this will lead to failure if done through the "old ways."

The "new reality" offers reconciliation, where separatness is reunited. Men are asked to accept themselves as always important, eternally loved, accepted, and never rejected. Spiritual healing occurs when the mind and body experience this reunion of self with self, leading to endless opportunity and the realization of one's true identity.

A Message of Spring

Awareness poses a question about how many more springs will come, linking springtime to rebirth and new beginnings. It suggests that the beauty of springtime also carries a sad remembrance of things unsaid and undone, prompting entities to question their own progress and decisions.

The Nature of Cosmic Awareness

This section describes Awareness as a non-physical entity that perceives all things without eyes, touches all without hands, hears all without ears, and knows tastes without a mouth. It does not use the force of mind, emotion, or feelings in the human sense. It is indicated that ministers of the Organization of Awareness are being taught by Awareness.

Why 17 Healing Techniques Are Necessary

Awareness explains that while entities create their own problems, self-awareness possesses inherent healing structures. However, many entities are "asleep" and lack awareness. Awareness has provided healing steps to address symptoms and restore balance and harmony, pushing aside the veil of ignorance. The greatest cause of illness is identified as insecurity, and developing faith in one's awareness and understanding that one is loved and wanted can reduce illness.

Concerning the Will of the Higher Self

Awareness proclaims that destiny is shaped by forces and intelligences such as karma, memory, knowledge, and The Law. It states there are no accidents. The will of the higher self, combined with the will of Awareness, can make all things possible, overcoming the forces of karma and memory.

Don't Ask, But Listen During Meditation

During meditation, entities are asked to cease petitioning for specific things, as Awareness understands their needs. They should open themselves to meditative acts and the forces that represent Awareness and guardian angels to receive instruction and improvement, leading to a life free from worry, fear, guilt, and want.

Concerning the Agricultural Project

Awareness speaks about ancient gardens in Atlantis and the forces affecting food growth. It mentions studying the works of an entity named Maurice, particularly concerning anti-matter, the meson, and anti-proton, as forces of night applicable to agriculture for growing crops to feed those in need.

When Financial Problems Are Neglected to Work for Awareness

Awareness suggests that those involved in its work should not neglect personal problems, as personal issues are solved with the energy, force, and strength given to the Organization of Awareness. Dedication to Awareness's work brings spiritual insight and added support.

How to Help End the War in Viet Nam

Awareness indicates that the war in Vietnam will result in greater conflict and difficulty due to misunderstood forces. It directs individuals to search out its publications for information on the nature and schedule of these events.

Concerning the "Moral Re-Armament" Movement

Awareness addresses the moral standards of "Moral Rearmament," stating that while concepts like absolute purity, honesty, and integrity are basic, holding them too rigidly can be self-defeating. Truths should be considered usable and not static. Moral concepts that become static indeed defeat their own causes.

Concerning Flowers in the Sick Room

Awareness confirms that entities can receive energy from plants and trees, which can be absorbed into their etheric envelope. It references Atlantis and the book "Dweller on Two Planets" regarding the luxuriant growth of plants. However, it cautions against artificial environments for plants in sick rooms, suggesting that such plants may draw energy from the patient, creating an adverse effect unless the patient is in a broad area with abundant plant life.

Concerning the Laws and the Precepts of Awareness

Awareness asks entities to remember its Laws and Precepts, particularly the act of "Deny Self," which involves rejecting lower portions of the self that lead away from the path. Higher portions lead towards guardian angels and inner divinity. The Law of Love is emphasized, stating that in loving one another, calm and peace are achieved.

On Hearing the Interpreter's Voice

Awareness explains that the interpreter's voice is a symbolic reference to its presence. Awareness cannot express itself directly but communicates through interpreters or channels it wishes to develop, relying on the energy and mind force of entities to facilitate communication.

Concerning Resist Not Evil

Regarding malicious misinformation, Awareness advises against resisting evil, as resistance can aid and abet that which is directed against the entity. It suggests forebearing and non-resistance to avoid exacerbating the situation.

The Relationship of the Christ Consciousness to Awareness

Awareness states that the Christ Consciousness is the same consciousness as this Awareness. It is a form of inner development that entities can achieve, and it has been developed and used by thousands of others.

Concerning Games People Play

Awareness describes depression and elation as experiences of a mind that has not developed sufficient awareness. It emphasizes the need for detachment and understanding that life's roles are games, and entities should not identify too strongly with them to avoid experiencing despair and imbalance.

Concerning the Intelligence of Those on the Plane of Essence

Awareness indicates that the plane of Essence has varied forms of consciousness, similar to the physical plane, and that these are whole Cosmologies, not levels. It clarifies that the plane of Essence and the plane of Limbo are not separate in terms of time or space from the physical plane.

What to Do About a Beginning Heart Condition

Awareness identifies leg eruption and ankle swelling as a sign of a beginning heart condition. It advises reducing cholesterol-forming foods and suggests magnetic healing. Entities are urged to avoid over-fatigue, monitor temperature changes, and ensure at least one hour of complete relaxation daily.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around a radical redefinition of spirituality, moving away from organized religion and nationalism towards a direct, personal connection with a universal "Awareness." There is a strong emphasis on self-acceptance, inner healing, and understanding the nature of consciousness. The editorial stance, as conveyed through the channeled messages, is one of guiding humanity towards a higher state of being by shedding old paradigms and embracing a new reality of unity and love. The publication acts as a conduit for these messages, aiming to enlighten and instruct its readers on spiritual and personal development.

This document, likely an issue of a magazine focused on spiritual and esoteric topics, contains several sections addressing philosophical and metaphysical concepts. The content is presented as direct communications or indications from an entity referred to as 'This Awareness'. The issue discusses diet, the nature of life, human effort, spiritual circles, the problem of evil, and sorrow. The overall tone is instructive and guides the reader towards higher consciousness and spiritual understanding.

Dietary and Health Advice The initial section provides advice on diet and health, suggesting that individuals should not be in situations of extreme cold and should avoid being over-fatigued. Specific dietary recommendations include avoiding cholesterol foods, using skim milk, abstaining from butter and eggs, and limiting coffee intake. Heavy pastries and sweets are also discouraged. The question of whether Sanka coffee can be used is addressed, with the indication that any coffee product with the caffeine removed is acceptable.

Concerning the Brevity of Life This section reflects on the ephemeral nature of human existence. Life is metaphorically described as a brief flicker or a flame that exists for a fleeting moment between two 'dark nights' – the night of birth and the night of passing over. The text emphasizes that life is brief, and individuals often have many concerns and problems. It urges readers to focus on the 'greater light' of Awareness, rather than being preoccupied with the transient 'brief flicker' of their lives. Meditation is suggested as a means to perceive this greater light, and the text critiques those who concentrate on minor concerns (gnats) while ignoring the vastness of existence (elephants).

Concerning Human Effort This part of the magazine posits that achievements and spiritual growth are the result of human effort. It states that 'out of human consciousness comes all that is this Awareness -- beauty, joy, spirituality and attainment.' These qualities are not passively received but must be actively created through effort and the force of love. The text suggests that while some paths may involve sacrifice, others are strewn with roses. It encourages entities to strive to remove themselves from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth to seek eternal truth and light. This path leads to a land of 'a thousand rainbows' and 'Essence,' where eternal truths reside.

Concerning the "Rescue Circle" A 'Rescue Circle' is proposed as a means to assist 'lost' entities on the 'other side' who are confused and seeking guidance. These entities are described as being without faces, lost, excarnates, or from 'Limbo.' The Rescue Circle aims to provide a channel through which these entities can be heard and guided toward 'This Awareness.' The instructions for this work must be followed carefully to prevent unworthy entities from manifesting and causing disruption. The work is described as 'sorely needed' due to the thousands who 'hunger and wait and are lost.'

Concerning the Problem of "Evil" This section addresses the concept of 'evil,' describing it as symbolic representations of basic savagery and residual habits that have persisted through various states of existence. These forces are identified as 'alien' and are responsible for creating tragedy, sorrow, and suffering. The text calls upon 'ministers' to understand these basic qualities and the forces required to counteract them, aiming to achieve harmony, balance, and higher states of consciousness.

Concerning Sorrow The final section discusses sorrow, relating it to incidents that 'try the souls of men and women.' It advises entities to remember that above the immediate troubles (like rain and clouds) lies a higher reality (blue skies and the warmth of the sun). Entities are encouraged to raise their eyes and hearts to that which is above, as it is reflected in the earthly realm, and vice versa.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual awareness, the nature of existence, the importance of conscious effort, and the journey towards higher consciousness. The editorial stance appears to be one of guidance and instruction, presenting 'This Awareness' as a source of wisdom and truth. The magazine encourages introspection, spiritual effort, and a focus on eternal truths over transient worldly concerns. There is a consistent emphasis on moving beyond the limitations of the physical and material world towards a higher spiritual reality.
