Magazine Overview

Title: Revelations of Awareness
Issue: 79-8
Date: September 20, 1979
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications

This issue of 'Revelations of Awareness' focuses on the nature and application of astrology, presented through communications from 'Cosmic Awareness' itself, interpreted by Paul Shockley. The publication aims to provide insights for those seeking spiritual consciousness and the ushering in of a 'New Age.'

Astrology Explained by Cosmic Awareness

The core of this issue is an explanation of astrology from the perspective of Cosmic Awareness. It clarifies that astrology is not fundamentally about the influences of constellations on Earth, nor solely about planetary influences, but rather about the directional forces of the universe. The signs of the zodiac are presented as these directions, and the constellations are named after the signs they rule. The energies emanate from the outer edges of the universe and focus on the individual, creating an astrological affect through the interplay of planets and the forces of the signs.

Cosmic Awareness posits that the science of astrology is ancient, over four-hundred thousand years old, and has been misunderstood or perverted over time. It distinguishes astrology from astronomy, stating that astronomy deals with quantity, locations, and masses, while astrology deals with quality and influences. The issue addresses the scientific argument that constellations have shifted, explaining that the signs are not the constellations themselves but rather symbols created to fit the energies associated with those directions.

Services Offered by Cosmic Awareness Communications

The newsletter announces new services available to members. Ananda Li Miller is introduced as an individual offering reliable astrological charts, which can be provided efficiently via cassette tapes. Her capabilities extend to spiritual counseling, particularly slanted towards the individual's situation as indicated by their chart. She is also noted for having strong healing powers, including absent healing.

Additionally, Stuart Turner of the Aquarian Church is mentioned as having clear energies for astrological insights, particularly in psychological analysis. Information regarding Stuart Turner's services may be released through the Aquarian Church or the Goodship, and subscribers to Paul Shockley's 'Voyage to the Source' newsletters will receive information on his services.

The publication emphasizes the utility of astrological information for making decisions, especially in the coming three years, suggesting it can help entities prepare for and avoid mistakes during times of intensity.

The Nature of Cosmic Energies and Influences

Cosmic Awareness elaborates on the high vibration of astrological influences, which work on the etheric body and are of greater force than environmental factors like a nearby mother. While psychology deals with environmental effects on behavior, astrology reflects cosmic influences and can determine the presence and nature of relationships, such as having a mother nearby. Astrology is said to deal with the influences of etheric and atomic particles, consciousness, and universal awareness that emanate throughout the cosmos, affecting cells, emotions, agility, motion, and physical features.

The text explains that the universe is composed of systems within systems, from atoms to solar systems to galaxies, all interconnected. It likens these to molecules and patterns that create substances, organs, organisms, and planets. The concept of 'as it is above, so it is below' is presented, suggesting that forces in movement for eons are coming to a climax.

This climax is likened to the sexual act, where a blending of energies may occur, balancing male and female principles and neutralizing energies. Scorpio, the House of Sex, is also called the House of Death, signifying transformation and transmutation of energies. The message encourages love, awareness of divinity, and reconciliation between the microcosm and macrocosm, leading to the birth of the 'Christ-Child' within each entity.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the spiritual and cosmic nature of astrology, its ancient origins, and its practical application for personal guidance and decision-making. The editorial stance, as conveyed through 'Cosmic Awareness,' is one of encouraging questioning, exploration, and personal discovery of truth, rather than blind belief. The publication promotes the idea of a New Age of spiritual consciousness and highlights services aimed at facilitating this transition for individuals.
