This Awareness indicates that most entities understand the meaning of social maturity, wherein an entity first learns to take care of his or her own needs, as an indicator of maturity. Then, as one is capable of taking care of his or her personal needs, they accept the responsibility of taking care of someone else’s needs also.

As an entity matures further, he or she may begin to attend to the needs of several. Usually this is in the form of a facilely, with children. This requires a certain maturity. Many entities cannot reach this level, and find it difficult to take care of themselves, let alone take care of a mate and children.

Some may rely on and depend on a mate and thus show immaturity rather than maturity, or may not help the mate, drawing more from the mate than giving, and this immaturity is a clear picture of the entity’s development; but once the entity learns to attend to not only his or her needs, but to the needs of another, and particularly when it reaches a point wherein the entity can attend to the needs of a mate and the children, then the entity is considered socially mature.

Of course, this can continue to grow, as an entity takes on certain other responsibilities in career, in job, in home or wherever. In other words, as one becomes more socially responsible, one matures further.

After Social Maturity Comes Spiritual Maturity

This Awareness indicates there is another kind of maturity: spiritual maturity. As an entity begins to take on the recognition of his or her own soul growth and begins to mature spiritually, developing his or her soul growth, the entity may reach a point in which he or she decides it is not sufficient that, “I attend only to my own soul growth; I should also assist others in the development of their soul growth if possible.

This Awareness indicates that some entities at some point in their spiritual development move beyond attending their own soul growth exclusively, to the state wherein they begin to work also to assist others in the development of their soul, giving them spiritual guidance, information or assistance so that they also can enhance their soul growth.

Many Ways to Assist Others in Their Soul Growth

This Awareness indicates that it becomes possible for these entities to continue not only helping themselves to grow spiritually, but to help others and to encourage the others also to begin helping others, if possible. This Awareness indicates that there are many ways whereby entities can assist others in developing their soul growth without necessarily going into the ministry or becoming full-time teachers of entities in a spiritual teaching sense. This awareness indicates in fact, entities can assist one another just by talking to them about things that help them to have better understanding of their own soul, their need for spiritual growth, and ways of improving their lives through spiritual growth activity.

This Awareness indicates that entities who can serve others spiritually or assist them to develop their own spirituality are indeed functioning in a sense of growth activity. This Awareness indicates that there are many entities whose particular circumstances does not yet allow them to become guardians of each other’s souls or stewards for each other’s soul growth, but there are ways whereby indirectly they can still help in the soul growth of others.

C.A.C. Readers are Involved in the Soul Growth of Others

Many of the readers who read the Revelations of Awareness are themselves involved, perhaps not directly, but indirectly in the soul growth of others, and this is part of their soul growth, to have participated in helping others in their soul growth activities.

This may be, for example, from entities who send in questions of general spiritual nature or entities who send in donations to keep the organization and messages flowing, or entities who, in their relationship with this organization, send letters of encouragement and write or contact people in ways that encourage their soul growth, or support their changes for coming in contact with such information.

Thus, by sharing information, such entities can assist in spreading the information and soul growth to their friends and associates. This Awareness indicates in other words, just because you are too busy to get out and preach or get out and talk about things does not mean you are not offering some spiritual energy to help others in their soul growth development that they may wish to pursue. If you share information with them or if you share your energies, including your donations to groups, or organizations to spread spiritual information or services, you are in essence participating in the spread and expression of soul growth that is being brought to this Earth plane.

This Awareness indicates this is a form of spiritual maturity as entities move more and more into assisting others in their soul growth, in their spiritual life. Thus, you have the social maturity and the spiritual maturity. There are other forms of maturity, but these are those which this Awareness wished to speak of at present time as being of great importance.

This Awareness indicates, of course, financial maturity is the concern of most entities on this plane because the bottom line of most energy is money-related, but this Awareness indicates this is already understood very quickly as a child grows into society, and the areas which are often neglected or forgotten by entities have to do with their social maturity, and areas which are even more commonly neglected or forgotten have to do with spiritual maturity.

What are You Doing in Terms of Spiritual Maturity?

What are you doing in terms of spiritual maturity? Are you developing your soul? Are you growing spiritually, day to day, month to month, year by year, or are you neglecting this area of your life? In what way are you expressing spiritual growth? These are questions you may wish to consider.

This Awareness indicates that according to your capacity, your ability, you may wish to find some way to express a spiritual maturity in a more meaningful manner in order to develop your own spiritual growth. This Awareness indicates that spiritual growth is not something to neglect. It is possible to become spiritually retarded, just as it is possible to become socially retarded, but this Awareness suggests this is not beneficial to an entity to neglect the social or spiritual development, and therefore, this Awareness suggests you consider carefully as you develop these areas of your being, for they can bring you many, many more rewards than the retarded states of development that some entities seem to divert towards.

How to Recognize a Socially Retarded Entity

This Awareness indicates if this has not been made clear, perhaps this Awareness could say it in a different way: An entity who is socially retarded is an entity what has not, for example learned how to make and keep friends or keep friendship alive. The entity may be too self-centered, for example, or too concerned with gaining something for self at the expense of others.

This entity would not be classed as a socially mature person. The entity would perhaps be better classed as a socially retarded person. This Awareness indicates that likewise, an entity who is not interested in soul growth or spiritual growth for himself would not likewise have much interest in helping others to develop their spiritual or soul growth, and therefore, rather than appreciating the finer things in life, such an entity would enjoy crude things, such as getting friends to fight with each other, or promoting fights or violence or belittling friends, insulting or hurting the self-image of others.

A more spiritual inclined person would encourage those who are discouraged, assist those who need to be uplifted, or need encouragement to lift themselves, and promote spiritual concepts and ideas that can be beneficial for others. This Awareness indicates that such an action of spiritual promotion would indicate an entity who is spiritually evolving.

Consider Helping Those Who are Helping Others

This Awareness indicates there are many ways of promoting the spiritual well-being of others and of oneself, and everyone has some opportunity for doing this, regardless of how busy they might be. This Awareness indicates you may always consider helping others who are helping others. If you do not have the time to get out and help the masses, help those who are helping the masses, and you are essentially doing the same work.

What to do: Study the Cosmic Awareness Teachings of Give Service to Others?

This Awareness suggests that to fill oneself with information gives one an enormous amount of potential power, but the power is pointless if it is not used, there fore this Awareness suggests that you put in practice what you learned to use. If it is something that can be used for helping others, then by putting it to use, it becomes much more important than by simply stuffing it in the bank of your memory.

This Awareness indicates that of course it is also important to realize if it is something you are studying but do not fully grasp, some times there is a need to take in more before acting on information, because if you act with half the knowledge you need, you may cause yourself or others more harm than good.

This Awareness suggests, therefore, whatever you study, whatever you research and examine, if you are to put it into action, make sure that you know enough to act confidently and with full understanding, so that your knowledge, which is power, does not end up hurting yourself or others because you were not quite informed enough on some area of the field of knowledge, and because of lack of information, your action went astray.

This Awareness indicates in other words, study enough so that when you put things into action, your actions will be meaningful and proper. This Awareness indicates it is likened unto a student of psychology who drops out of school after learning only a few rudimentary concepts of psychology and then tries to go into the business of counseling. Such an entity, with half knowledge, could indeed hurt others very seriously.

This Awareness indicates most entities, even with half-knowledge, who share what they know without trying to over-act on their knowledge, would be relatively harmless. In other words, it would be likened unto the psychology student sharing some of the concepts he or she might have learned in class prior to having dropped out of school. It is not likely to be harmful in such a case, but if the entity pretends to know more than he does, pretends to be an authority and gets others to depend on him or her, then there is a misrepresentation, and a potential for much harm to be caused to those who trust the entity, more than is properly earned.

Why You Must Understand and Grasp the Awareness Material

This Awareness indicates also that in regards to studying the Cosmic Awareness readings, it is important for entities to grasp the understanding for themselves and not just because the information was made available in the readings. This Awareness indicates that if information is given without full understanding of the principles being discussed, an entity can express the information in a way that could be distorted or could cause confusion or otherwise bring harm to another.

It is likened unto the entity who, in studying the Bible, fixates on a certain passage and cause great harm because the entity either put too much emphasis on something said, or distorted what was said, or did not understand clearly the meaning in the passage, and the therefore expressed it improperly

Improper expression is not uncommon when communication requires a translation or interpretation of some message and an entity interprets something either out of context or with a distorted emphasis or a distorted understanding of the true meaning. This Awareness indicates there is also the possibility of error in the readings or error in the Biblical passage in its translation, so that error in expression might likewise occur.

How One Reads Information can Create Error

There is also the possibility of error in how one reads the information. This Awareness indicates that there will be people who say the Bible contains no errors, but this Awareness wishes to give you an example in which the Bible speaks of the angel standing on the four corners of the Earth. This Awareness indicated that obviously, in today’s society, entities understand that there are not four corners on the Earth, and therefore they would rend this as metaphorical or symbolic of the four directions, but they would not take it literally, as referring to four corners of the earth.

This Awareness indicates however, that a child, who does not know the earth is spherical, or someone from an earlier age, prior to Columbus, might have considered these words to literally refer to four corners on the Earth, and acting on that information, according to that interpretation, an entity could perhaps, under certain circumstances, get into serious trouble.

For example, an entity seeking to find one of the corners of the Earth, or an entity out sailing might receive a message from some authority saying “Keep going until you find the corner of the earth and then come back to us!,” and the entity keeps sailing and sailing and sailing and sailing and sailing, looking for the other corner.

This Awareness indicates that could it not be said that the Bible was in error in this interpretation of it? It is not to say that the Bible itself is necessarily incorrect, but the interpretation of how it should have been read or understood may have been in error.

Think for Yourself: Awareness Can’t Guarantee the Readings

Likewise, with readings from this Awareness: this Awareness does not expect to interpret everything It says in a way that is always correct. This Awareness does not even vouch that the Interpreter’s readings of this Awareness energies are always correct. Therefore, think for yourself, and interpret carefully as you use these messages in the study, research and sharing information with others.
