This issue of Revelations of Awareness, a cosmic newsletter published by Cosmic Awareness Communications, addresses the critical issue of teen-age sex and pregnancies, framing it as a "growing tragedy that must be stopped." The content is presented as a channeled message from "Cosmic Awareness," interpreted by Paul Shockley.

Teen-Age Sex & Teen-Age Pregnancies: A Growing Tragedy

The central question posed is about the increasing number of teen-age pregnancies, particularly among girls aged 13-15. Many of these young girls choose to keep their babies rather than have abortions, but subsequently neglect, abuse, or even abandon their children. Psychologists note that these teenagers often lack the maturity to handle parenthood, yet the trend is escalating.

Cosmic Awareness's Analysis

Cosmic Awareness identifies this phenomenon as a societal karmic problem, rooted in a decline of spiritual levels due to an excessive focus on physical gratification and material concerns. The message criticizes the educational system for prioritizing job skills and economic productivity over teaching responsible living, self-respect, dignity, and direction. It suggests that students often lack a sense of self-worth and respect for others, driven instead by competition, ambition, and personal gratification.

The current societal values, which elevate work, money, and career over social responsibility and relationships, are seen as a primary cause. This situation is deemed tragic and requires a dramatic shift in values within the educational system. Cosmic Awareness advocates for the inclusion of "relationship classes" in academic settings, focusing on mutual respect, communication, sensitivity to others' needs, and empathy.

The Role of Culture and 'New Age' Ideas

The publication also touches upon how some parents and "New Age" proponents might view teen-age sex as a form of "making love, not war," which can be misinterpreted as an excuse for promiscuity. Cosmic Awareness clarifies that making love and making peace are distinct from casual sex, emphasizing that sex is a powerful act with significant responsibilities. It draws an analogy to driving a car, where licenses and tests ensure responsibility, suggesting that entities must be prepared for the responsibilities of creating life.

Abortion and Responsibility

Regarding the difficult question of abortion for very young girls who become pregnant and are unable to care for their children, Cosmic Awareness suggests that parents bear significant responsibility, as do educational institutions, churches, media, and government. The message posits that if an entity is pregnant and both the individual and her parents are incapable of accepting the responsibility of raising a child, adoption is presented as a preferable alternative to keeping the child unwillingly. Abortion is framed as the latter choice.

Cosmic Awareness states that entities prioritizing their reputation or comfort over a baby may not be experiencing spiritual development. However, it refrains from judgment, stating that karma is an individual matter. It encourages entities to lessen sorrow and suffering by being responsive and sensitive to one another, rather than following gods of lust, power, and greed.

The 'Door Open' Analogy and Negligence

A question from E.N. of Brooklyn, N.Y., explores the meaning of "the door is left open accidentally through negligence." Cosmic Awareness confirms this is essentially a gamble, where entities take a chance on unintended consequences, such as pregnancy, without proper consideration. This is termed a "sin of negligence," carrying karmic repercussions, and it is advised that entities should consider their actions and prepare for potential outcomes beforehand.

The Laws of Magic, Chance, and Unity

The final section delves into metaphysical concepts, explaining the "Law of Magic" as that which creates change, influenced by consciousness, imagery, and attitudes. The "Law of Chance" is initiated when the "Law of Magic" is not in harmony with the "Law of Unity." The "Law of Gratitude" is presented as a balancing force for actions under the Law of Chance. The "Law of Unity" is described as the recognition of interconnectedness, seeing all apparent divisions as integrated parts of a whole.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the profound societal and karmic implications of teen-age pregnancies, the failures of the current educational system in fostering responsible individuals, the complex ethical considerations surrounding abortion, and the importance of personal responsibility and spiritual awareness in navigating life's choices. The editorial stance, as conveyed through "Cosmic Awareness," is one of guidance and explanation, emphasizing karmic consequences and the need for a shift towards greater empathy, responsibility, and spiritual understanding in society.

An "ED'S NOTE" encourages readers to share the information with legislators and educators to influence policy and foster national consciousness change.
