This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" is a newsletter published by Cosmic Awareness Communications, based in Olympia, Washington. The publication focuses on the nature of "Cosmic Awareness" and its relationship with prominent spiritual figures, particularly Edgar Cayce.

Edgar Cayce and Cosmic Awareness

The central theme of this issue is to address the question of why Edgar Cayce, a renowned psychic and trance channeler, never identified the source of his messages as "Cosmic Awareness." The publication, through "Cosmic Awareness" itself, explains that Cayce channeled numerous entities over time, and while "this Awareness" did communicate through him, the process was complex.

According to the text, the "energizing process for the Edgar Cayce readings was such that it was difficult for the entity to move into levels of clear communication with this Awareness." Furthermore, Cayce's methods involved moving into "deeper levels of hypnosis and contacted spirits," which sometimes resulted in the entity "totally lost consciousness." This is contrasted with the interpreter for "Cosmic Awareness," who is described as being in a "superconscious state," which is presented as different from a hypnotic trance.

Regarding Cayce's avoidance of publicity, the text suggests that he was "somewhat tormented" and perceived by many as being associated with "satanic or evil forces." To avoid the negative energies and publicity stemming from such perceptions, Cayce generally "avoided that type of exposure."

Edgar Cayce Paved the Way

The issue posits that Edgar Cayce "paved the way" for trance readings to be accepted by consciousness, diminishing fears associated with the devil. This has allowed entities to become more intelligent and evaluate information based on its value rather than the method of delivery, enabling phenomena like trance communication to be expressed without offense.

Why C.A.C. Advertises: A Crisis Upon this Plane

The newsletter explains that "Cosmic Awareness Communications" (C.A.C.) advertises because of a "great crises upon the earth plane" and the need for changes in consciousness. The old ways and "so-called 'truths'" are deemed no longer effective. The advertisement is framed not as mere promotion, but as a "desire to share" concepts and ideas that entities recognize as important.

Cosmic Awareness Addresses Those Who Have Ears to Hear

This section is a direct address from "Cosmic Awareness" to entities willing to listen and seek change. It states that the plane is "due for a deep karmic cleansing," which will occur either through the willing participation of entities or through external forces. The core message is the "great need upon this plane for change."

The publication explicitly states that its purpose is not to promote the organization for the financial gain of its founders, asserting that they do not take monthly salaries and earn their living from other businesses. Readers who object to the information are invited to return to studying the Cayce readings.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the nature of higher consciousness, channeling, the spiritual significance of Edgar Cayce, and the urgent need for global transformation. The editorial stance is that "Cosmic Awareness" is a legitimate and important source of guidance for humanity navigating a period of significant change, and that its communication, though sometimes indirect or complex, offers valuable insights for those seeking truth and spiritual evolution. The publication emphasizes critical thinking, encouraging readers to "question, explore, doubt and discover for yourself what is the truth."
