Cosmic Awareness - sr002 government structure

Magazine Overview

This issue of "The Kashic Record" from July 7, 1977, is dedicated to exploring the concept of "The Unified States of Awareness: The Structural Pattern for the New-Age Government." The cover features a complex, circular design and highlights a conference held in Yorktown, Pennsylvania, for New-Age groups. The price is listed as a $3.00 suggested donation.

Messages from Morya El and Cosmic Awareness

The issue includes messages attributed to Morya El and Cosmic Awareness. A message from Morya El, delivered through Lanello on May 29, 1977, states that the Cosmic Awareness conference is a "TURNING POINT" for humanity, determining whether earth-man will "awake and be aware, facing ALL challenges in Love." It urges the release of condemnation, criticism, and judgment, echoing the principle "as you judge, so will you be judged."

Cosmic Awareness, in a reading on June 10, 1977, for the "York Summit" Convention of July 1977, presents "The Unified States of Awareness" as the most important message ever given. It suggests that previous messages have been preparatory for this information. The core idea is that "mankind has Come of Age," and responsibility is now being transferred to humanity from the spiritual hierarchy and Lords of Karma. This transfer of power presents a choice between "Self-Destruction or Heaven Upon the Earth Plane."

The Unified States of Awareness: Structure and Purpose

The publication delves into the "Unified States of Awareness" as a "system of suggested use of power" that does not control but structures energy for entities to use appropriately and serviceably. It is described as the structural pattern for the New Age Government. This structure is conceptually linked to the Zodiac, the seven rays, and five magnetisms found throughout the universe, within atoms, cells, and consciousness. The system aims for order and efficiency, preventing duplicated actions and collisions.

The visualization of this system is presented through multiple analogies: a zodiac within a zodiac, a wheel with interlocking gears, and a garden with trees, branches, limbs, stems, twigs, leaves, veins, and capillaries, all structured in multiples of twelve. This pattern extends infinitely, from the macrocosm to the microcosm.

The New Age Government Structure

The government is envisioned as having twelve branches, classified according to astrological qualities. Each branch is further divided into twelve applications. This structure is visualized as a pyramid with twelve layers, each of a different color and corresponding to musical notes and zodiac signs, starting with red for Aries at the bottom and progressing upwards. The thirteenth position at the top is white, representing the zodiac itself, and is a position of communication and clarification.

Each tier consists of representatives chosen from the tier below. Coordinators on each tier have no power to command but can suggest, recommend, and request. The ultimate authority rests with the entity receiving the suggestion, who has free will to act upon it. The system emphasizes communication and clear suggestions over authority, with the public or citizen at the lowest level holding the final say.

The Economic System

The issue details the economic system of the Unified States of Awareness, which includes the release of economic power and property ownership. The banking system is designed as a cooperative, owned by its members. Members elect bank tellers, managers, and ultimately those who mint money. The concept of "talents" is introduced as a substitute for money, representing services or credits. Transactions involve the exchange of talents, with banks creating a small percentage (10%) for their services, which is then distributed back to the public for social services, replacing traditional taxation.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the concept of spiritual evolution, the transfer of power and responsibility to humanity, and the establishment of a new societal and governmental structure based on cooperation, awareness, and service. The editorial stance, as conveyed through "Cosmic Awareness," promotes a shift from hierarchical control to individual and collective responsibility, emphasizing free will and the potential for either self-destruction or the creation of a utopian "Kingdom of Heaven" on Earth. The publication advocates for a non-authoritarian, suggestive approach to governance and economic organization, rooted in spiritual principles and astrological correspondences.

This issue of 'The United States of Awareness' (pages 9-12) delves into the philosophical and economic underpinnings of a proposed societal structure, focusing on the 'Unified States of Awareness' and its unique economic and governance models. The content appears to be derived from channeled readings, likely from 'Cosmic Awareness,' offering insights into concepts of consciousness, collective action, and alternative economic systems.

Economic System: Talents and Group Ownership

The issue introduces an economic system where a bank creates its own interest, which is then returned to its members, who are considered the owners of the system. This is contrasted with traditional monetary systems, and the term 'talents' is suggested as a replacement for 'money' to distinguish it from governmental systems. The organization can establish trade centers for the exchange of pooled items and group ownership of properties, such as tools, tractors, and trucks. These properties are managed by elected officials for the benefit of the general membership. Upkeep expenses can be paid by the membership or covered by the profits from the banking system. Recreational facilities, including yachts, retreat settings, motels, and hotels, can also be group-owned and shared among members. The aim is to enable people to live like millionaires by collectively owning resources that were previously accessible only to a few.

Governance: The Tier Diagram

A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to explaining the 'Tier Diagram' (Illustration A, B, C, D, E, F), which outlines a hierarchical governance structure. In this system, power and control flow upwards. Each new floor formed passes power to the floor above, making the upper floors advisory. Representatives are elected from each floor, and the floor below dictates rules for itself and the floor directly above. Each Cell (12 people), Pod (12 Cells), or Cluster (12 Pods) can have its own rules. The diagram illustrates a breakdown of human affairs into twelve basic areas, with further specifics determined by astrologers within the Logistics and Evaluation Services. The structure is presented as typifying a municipal government, with multiple tiers of representatives controlling departments.

Consciousness and Free Will

The issue explores the concept of consciousness and free will, particularly in relation to the 'Unified States of Awareness.' It suggests that on higher levels of awareness, there is no choice; action becomes one of unification and integration of all forces, leading to a 'choiceless' state. This state is described as the highest level of awareness, where the illusion of free will is maintained on lower levels. The concept of 'excluding none who wish to be excluded' is discussed, implying that in the 'Unified States of Awareness,' no entity can truly be excluded, even if they perceive themselves as such. This is likened to an illusion, even for entities like Lucifer.

Co-existence of Economic Systems

The issue addresses the coexistence of the 'Unified States of Awareness' economic system with the present system. It describes the USA system as 'Cosmic Democracy,' where power resides with the people, contrasting it with hierarchical systems. While seemingly incompatible, it suggests that positive and negative, right and wrong, and extremes of good and evil are being depolarized. The floodgates of power are seen as open, leading to a shift where those who were on top will be on the bottom. Efforts to stop this change are predicted to backfire on those who create them. The issue highlights the opportunity to bypass the monetary system by directly exchanging services or goods, keeping track of exchanges, and even hiring bookkeepers through service exchange rather than money.

Forming Clubs and Economic Change

The formation of clubs is presented as a way to bypass the money system and establish a new economic order. Entities can create their own banking systems by exchanging items and services, using terms like 'talents.' These clubs can then honor each other's point systems, leading to a broader network of exchange. The issue suggests that if one club lacks certain talents, members can contact neighboring clubs. This process can lead to a new, publicly owned economic system. The potential for 'perverted entities' to create exclusionary systems is mentioned, but the ultimate message is that entities can choose not to be economically bound.

The First Club and York Convention

The issue announces that the first club in the 'Unified States of Awareness' is planned to be initiated during the York Convention of New Age Groups, with a proposed timeframe between July 1977 and July 1978. The entity Kenneth Breckon is mentioned in relation to this initiative.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around alternative economic models, collective consciousness, decentralized governance, and the transcendence of traditional monetary and hierarchical structures. The editorial stance, as conveyed through the 'Cosmic Awareness' readings, is one of advocating for a shift towards a more unified, equitable, and self-governing society, free from the perceived limitations and exploitations of current systems. There is a strong emphasis on individual and collective empowerment through shared resources and direct exchange, moving away from centralized control and monetary dependence.

This issue of "Cosmic Awareness" (Issue 13) delves into a proposed new economic and governmental system, referred to as the "Unified States of Awareness." The publication explores a radical departure from traditional monetary systems and hierarchical governance, advocating for a decentralized structure where power and wealth are distributed among the populace.

The Club System and 'Talents'

The core of the proposed economic system revolves around 'talents,' a form of currency or points earned through trade and service within a club structure. Initially, a club member who sells an item worth 10 talents receives 10 talents from the buyer's account. Furthermore, the seller is given an additional 300% of the exchanged amount as a bonus for the first three years, meaning they receive 20 extra talents, for a total of 30 talents for the exchange. This bonus incentive is designed to encourage early participation and the exchange of goods and services.

The system outlines a progressive reduction in this bonus over time: after 3 years, it drops to 200%; after 6 years, to 150%; after 12 years, to 125%; and after 24 more years, to 110%. The publication suggests that as more entities participate and exchange talents, the value of these talents will increase, making early adopters exceptionally wealthy.

Accrual of Talents and Public Funds

Talents accrue not only to individuals but also to a public fund. Each time an entity trades services or points, and the transaction moves through a bookkeeping system (like a credit union or bank), 10% of that exchange is credited to the public fund. For instance, if a refrigerator is exchanged for 100 talents, the seller receives 300 talents (100 from the buyer + 200 bonus), and 10% of the exchanged value (10 talents) is added to the public fund for public use.

This 10% is then available for club members and is appropriated by those they hire as representatives to disburse social funds and social wealth. The wealth distribution is determined by membership votes, with those on lower tiers controlling their representatives and passing orders upward.

Power Transfer and the Pyramid Structure

The publication details a revolutionary approach to power transfer, aiming to avoid chaos. It proposes a system where power is vested in the people, moving away from traditional leadership. The "Unified States of Awareness" is envisioned as a structure where entities join, and at a location like York, 12 entities are elected or appointed to form a core group. These 12 then select a 13th entity as a non-powered representative to communicate and offer observations.

Crucially, the 12 entities have the power to remove their representative at any time. This structure expands into tiers, with each group of 12 forming a larger group. The power is described as residing at the bottom of a pyramid, with upper levels acting as advisors. The masses, at the base, have the ultimate power to remove their appointed representatives. This decentralized model ensures that no single entity holds absolute power over others, with power continually spreading wider.

The Judicial System

The judicial system within the "Unified States of Awareness" is also designed to be self-governing. Each cell or group of 12 entities creates its own rules and then selects interpreters to ensure adherence. The system is likened to a tree, where leaves are linked to the stem, and the stem to the trunk, with rules flowing from the bottom up. The concept of a pyramid is used to illustrate the structure, with layers of 12, 144, 1,728 entities, and so on. Legislation is created by entities within their tier and is also governed by the laws of the tier below. Enforcement of laws rests with the masses.

Free Enterprise and Private Property

The "Unified States of Awareness" aims to redefine free enterprise and private property. It suggests that entities will remain free to be enterprising, trade, and do business collectively, similar to a co-operative store. While individual ownership is possible, the emphasis is on collective responsibility and self-governance. The system is presented as a "Cosmic Democracy--A World-Wide Revolution Without Bloodshed," intended to inevitably spread across all nations.

Economic Freedoms and Rights

The economic freedoms under this new system are defined as the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, guaranteed by the government. This includes the freedom of economic well-being, ensuring food, shelter, clothing, and medical care. Additionally, freedom of morality is included, allowing individuals to express their own moral codes as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others. The governing society's role is to make happiness possible, though true happiness must come from within.

Transition and the Role of Talents

The publication acknowledges that the concept of 'talents' may be difficult to substitute for money initially, as bill collectors will not accept them. The transition is expected to be slow, but beneficial from the start. The system will help entities stretch their dollars by exchanging services and items with club members. As the organization grows, the value of talents and income levels are expected to rise. The 10% added to the General Fund is to be divided annually among members, with discretion given to representatives and the budgeting system.

Credit Systems and Trade Centers

Credit systems are designed to be self-regulating, with each credit union managing its own regulations. The credit union of the "Unified States of Awareness" will need to be compatible with national credit unions, though it may use talents instead of money. Trade centers, to be called "USE-IT" systems, will facilitate the exchange of goods and services using points and talents rather than dollars. These systems will be linked into the broader credit system of the "Unified States of Awareness."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the radical redistribution of power, the establishment of a decentralized, people-centric governance model, and the creation of a new economic system based on 'talents' and collective exchange. The editorial stance is one of advocating for this transformative "Cosmic Democracy," presenting it as an inevitable and beneficial evolution that will empower individuals and dismantle traditional power structures. The publication emphasizes self-governance, collective responsibility, and the pursuit of happiness as fundamental rights.

This document, comprising pages 23-27 of what appears to be a publication titled 'Cosmic Awareness Communications,' delves into the conceptual framework of a system called the 'Unified States of Awareness.' The content is presented as a series of questions and answers attributed to 'Cosmic Awareness,' offering insights into its proposed economic, governmental, and social structures.

The 'Talents' Economic System

The core of the economic discussion revolves around 'talents,' which are presented as a form of currency or points created 'out of nothing,' akin to how money or gold was historically created. These talents are distributed to new members, serving as a starting capital for trade within the organization. The system suggests that talents can be arbitrarily assigned or given in a set amount to each new member, fostering a game-like environment. The exchange of talents for services and items is central, with a proposed 'banking interest' contributing to a General Fund for public and welfare projects. The issue addresses the concept of personal interest on saved talents, deeming it 'negative' and emphasizing the 'USE-IT SYSTEM' where profit is generated through active use and exchange. When an item is bought, the seller profits significantly (300% over three years), and the buyer gains the item or service. Continued exchange builds points and wealth, with a portion of each transaction benefiting the bank, which in turn funds public works. The text also acknowledges the potential for 'inflation' if points become too numerous and suggests mechanisms to adjust the system to maintain economic balance.

Governance and Structure

The publication explores the nature of the 'Unified States of Awareness' and its relationship with existing governments. It draws parallels to 'Technocracy' but emphasizes a transfer of power from the top to the bottom of a pyramid structure, with the masses ultimately controlling the powers at the top. The communication system is designed to coordinate actions and initiate new ones, with entities encouraged to share research and ideas. Power is described as lying at the bottom, with Cosmic Awareness acting as an advisor. The system aims to empower the masses to discover how to use power without self-destruction. The issue addresses potential hostility from existing governments, suggesting that representatives of the Unified States of Awareness should explain their advisory role and refer inquiries to those who appointed them, or feign limited knowledge. The administrative structure is not a traditional 9-to-5 job but an advisory capacity requiring communication and availability. The tier system is visualized as an apartment house or layered wedding cake, where lower floors create rules for upper floors, and advice flows upwards while power resides at the bottom. Entities are not forced into higher positions, and the system seeks to balance power and wisdom.

Crime and Its Resolution

A significant portion of the document is dedicated to how crime would be handled within this new system. Crime is framed not as a transgression against law but as an 'illness.' Two primary types of crime are identified: crimes of passion and crimes of greed. In contrast to traditional systems where police apprehend criminals, in the Unified States of Awareness, the entire society on a given tier is responsible for bringing an individual back into line. For crimes of greed, where entities desire what they cannot have or wish to deprive others, and basic needs are guaranteed, the system proposes counseling. This involves a judicial setting with 12 counselors or one counselor dealing with 12 zodiacal areas of the individual's psyche. The goal is to understand and resolve the underlying frustrations leading to the crime. Victims are compensated from the General Fund, acting as a form of criminal insurance. If counseling fails, the entity may be referred to 'Integrative Services' for intensive psycho-analytical examinations.

Crimes of passion are also addressed, suggesting that removing sexual taboos is key. The system proposes creating spaces where passionate activities can occur consensually, provided counseling is available to prevent harm caused by ignorance. It suggests that crimes of passion often stem from feeling cornered or trapped by society, and that the society itself should establish rules and regulations for its tier to deal with such situations.

Social Parasites and Proposed Rights

The issue also touches upon 'social parasites' – individuals who demand services and goods beyond basic necessities without contributing. The system suggests that while basic needs are provided, any additional luxuries should be earned through work and contribution. The document concludes by proposing 'The Twelve Rights of Humanity' within the Unified States of Awareness, including the 'Right to Freedom of Morality' (as long as it doesn't harm another) and 'Freedom of Economic Well-Being' (guaranteeing basic needs and allowing for ambition-driven pursuits for more).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes throughout this issue are the creation of new societal paradigms, particularly in economics and governance, through a consciousness-based approach. The 'Cosmic Awareness' entity consistently advocates for systems that empower individuals and the collective, moving away from traditional hierarchical structures and punitive measures. The stance is one of radical restructuring, viewing societal problems like crime as illnesses to be healed through understanding and collective responsibility rather than punishment. There is a strong emphasis on self-governance, personal responsibility within a supportive collective, and the potential for human consciousness to create new realities and systems of exchange. The underlying philosophy appears to be one of liberation from old constraints and the establishment of a more equitable and self-aware society.
