This issue of "Revelations of Awareness," a New-Age Cosmic Newsletter, focuses on advice for attracting a mate, particularly for young men, and explores themes of relationships, spirituality, and self-help. The newsletter communicates messages from "Cosmic Awareness," channeled through Paul Shockley, who serves as the Trance-Interpreter. The publication emphasizes that the information is for those seeking to bring in the New Age and encourages readers to question, explore, and discover truth for themselves.

How to Attract a Mate

The main article, "How to Attract a Mate," addresses a question from W.K. of Omaha, Nebraska, who, despite being attractive and healthy, has struggled with relationships since his teenage years. He asks if entities experience loneliness due to past-life karmic debt and seeks guidance on how to find a mate, including prayers or healing meditations.

Cosmic Awareness explains that some entities set up blocks against relationships due to past-life experiences, or a "psychic hunger" that repels potential partners. It suggests that genuine relationships often have karmic implications and that an entity must be able to allow others to come and go without feeling devastated or possessive. The key is to have a relationship with someone who accepts the energies one emanates.

The 8 Steps to a Clear Relationship with Members of the Opposite Sex

Cosmic Awareness outlines eight steps to foster healthier relationships:
1. Decide you don't need anyone for at least one year: This helps reduce desperation.
2. See others as human beings: Recognize their feelings and problems, similar to your own.
3. Relate as buddies or pals: Acknowledge that individuals of the opposite sex also have aspects of your own sex within them.
4. Become involved in their interests: Discuss their concerns and share feelings without sexual pressure or obligations.
5. Avoid sexual manipulation: Do not think in terms of sexual relationships.
6. Consider their personality and background: Relate on deeper levels of character and sensitivity.
7. Allow spontaneous intimacy: If it occurs, do not make it overly significant; focus on person-to-person communication and affection.
8. Respect boundaries: If someone wishes to stop intimacy, respect their position and communicate your feelings.

The advice emphasizes relating to the person's many aspects and allowing sex to take a secondary role to getting to know them. It suggests that by seeking human relationships rather than solely sexual ones, one can diminish "hungers."

Why Do Many Females Today Give Their Bodies to Men on Their First Date?

This section addresses a question about the perceived increase in female willingness for early intimacy. Cosmic Awareness indicates this is a dual phenomenon: some females genuinely desire intimate involvement on a shallow basis, while others are influenced by propaganda, peer pressure, and a reflection of changing societal values regarding morality and sexual expression. It notes that some are conservative in their attitudes toward sex.

The importance of clear communication regarding individual sexual values is highlighted. It is suggested that when one entity wishes to be close but does not consider the other's feelings or needs, it can lead to imposition. Clear communication is needed so both parties can share feelings without feeling violated or rejected.

How to Reject a Sexual Proposition with Grace

Entities are advised to reject sexual propositions clearly and respectfully, stating "I do not wish to have that type of relationship with you," possibly adding "at this time" or "under these circumstances." This approach avoids making the other person feel guilty or insulted. If rejected, the entity should not feel it is an insult to their manhood or womanhood but rather recognize it as a mismatch of situation or timing. Discussing the reasons behind the desire for intimacy can help foster mutual respect and understanding.

Entities are encouraged to be frank and share their feelings, values, and attitudes to avoid hard feelings and hostilities. The idea that being "nice" is a way to "catch the prey" is debunked; instead, entities should be themselves and develop their own character, as being nice solely to impress is easily detected.

Those Who Wish a Close Relationship with Another

This section suggests that many entities are not interested in those who are always nice and sacrificing, but rather in those who are true to themselves, even if they exhibit some selfishness or frustration. It posits that weaknesses in others can evoke love, while strengths evoke respect, and the combination strengthens relationships. Expectation, demands, manipulation, and falseness are identified as factors that break apart relationships.

The Law of Expectation and The Law of Love

It is suggested that young men might benefit from studying the "Awareness' Law of Expectation." The newsletter then discusses the "Law of Relationship" and the "Law of Love." Entities having difficulty relating to others are advised to open up, communicate, and allow others to share feelings without judgment or obligation, likening it to card players laying their cards on the table to share openly.

Entities are encouraged to share their sensitivities, hurts, desires, and feelings of rejection, breaking down walls and becoming more open. This openness allows others to feel free to share likewise.

The Law of Love is Qualified by Cosmic Awareness

This closing message emphasizes that entities must first know themselves and get in touch with their feelings before they can share them. Building close relationships is a question of how much time one has.

Entities who prioritize the welfare, concern, and feelings of others above self-interest will find themselves relating with genuine interest in others' goals and feelings. This creates an attitude of attunement, making the other feel special and safe. However, it is crucial to maintain a balance, not allowing oneself to be trampled upon or become a servant. While guarding the welfare of others is important, one's own welfare must also be protected.

This Awareness suggests that one is the guardian of their own welfare, but this does not mean placing it above others. By prioritizing others' welfare, one is less likely to violate them. Conversely, it is essential not to allow others to violate you. If a violation occurs, open discussion is recommended to understand both perspectives. Communication is key to developing relationships, striking deep, and discovering shared roots and sources.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around interpersonal relationships, particularly romantic ones, and the spiritual and psychological underpinnings of human connection. The editorial stance, as conveyed by "Cosmic Awareness" and interpreted by Paul Shockley, is one of guidance and self-discovery. It promotes a New Age perspective, emphasizing spiritual growth, self-awareness, and the importance of genuine communication and emotional honesty in relationships. The publication encourages readers to question and find their own truth, rather than blindly accepting information. There is a strong focus on metaphysical concepts, past-life influences (karmic debt), and the development of a more evolved consciousness for building healthy relationships and contributing to a "New Age."
