Magazine Overview

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness," a New-Age Cosmic Newsletter from Cosmic Awareness Communications, dated May 7th, 1980, presents an "Appeal by Cosmic Awareness" for Alexander, identified as the "Soldier of the Light" and "The Embattled Keeper of the Flame." The newsletter, priced at $3.00, is presented as a message from a force that has manifested through various spiritual leaders throughout history.

An Appeal by Cosmic Awareness for Alexander

The central theme of this issue is an appeal for support for Alexander Thompson and his vision for the Akasha Institute of Peace and Prosperity in York, Pennsylvania. Cosmic Awareness frames this appeal through historical parallels and spiritual significance.

Historical Context: William Penn and Pennsylvania

Cosmic Awareness recounts a story dating back to the early 1600s, involving George Fox and William Penn, who formed "The Association of Friends" or "The Friends of the Light." These entities sought religious freedom. William Penn, son of a British Navy official, was instrumental in establishing Pennsylvania as a haven for religious freedom, a portion of land granted by the King in lieu of a debt owed to his father. Pennsylvania is described as a commonwealth, established under rules allowing religious freedom for all, including Native American tribes like the Delaware and Iroquois.

The Founding of the United States and the Unified States of Awareness

The narrative continues to the 1770s, approximately 100 years after Pennsylvania's establishment, when William Penn and associates gathered in York, Pennsylvania, to establish the Articles of Confederation, which became the foundation for the U.S. Constitution. York, Pennsylvania, is thus identified as the birthplace of the United States. In 1977, 200 years later, entities including Paul Shockley, Avaton, and Thomas McQuay (identified as a reincarnation of Thomas Jefferson) returned to York to establish the "Unified States of Awareness," aiming to spread freedom globally.

Alexander Thompson's Role and the 'Alien Force'

Alexander Thompson of York, Pennsylvania, is presented as a key figure in this present action. He is identified as the reincarnation of Alexander the Great, who is credited with turning the tide of consciousness in the Western World and breaking the power of the Priesthood and secret schools. Consequently, Alexander Thompson has inherited the "wrath of the Alien Force." The Thompson College, originally intended as a New Age college for business training, has been under attack by this "Alien Force," which has sought to destroy the possibility of opening it.

The Akasha Institute of Peace and Prosperity

In 1975, Cosmic Awareness provided a plan for a New Age college to develop students capable of spreading higher consciousness. This college, to be named the Akasha Institute of Peace and Prosperity, is envisioned to encompass studies in diplomacy, business, law, art, and philosophy, promoting peace and prosperity through co-creative actions. The college is intended to have branches worldwide and offer degrees.

Financial Urgency and Fundraising Appeal

The immediate crisis highlighted is the impending mortgage payment of $60,000 on Thompson College, due by July 15, 1980. The college, remodeled in 1970 at a cost of $600,000, has been offered for $345,000, but potential buyers are stalling and proposing a deal that would put the college at risk. Cosmic Awareness urges entities to consider donating or loaning funds to meet the mortgage deadline, emphasizing that this is not a request for sacrifice but for co-creative effort. The funds are needed to secure a reprieve, allowing time to find further financing for the Akasha Institute.

Tax Exemption and Donation Process

Cosmic Awareness confirms that the school is tax-exempt, and donations can be made through Cosmic Awareness Communications or the Aquarian Church. Checks should be made payable to the "Universal Service Foundation of York, Pa." The Aquarian Church is mentioned as having recently emerged from litigation and attack by the "Alien Force."

The Law of Gratitude

Cosmic Awareness concludes with a message on gratitude, suggesting that those who contribute will be rewarded tenfold. It advises against giving to the point of personal deprivation, emphasizing that generosity should be within one's capability and desire. The editor's note clarifies that Cosmic Awareness Communications will handle donations and create a special fund, but assumes no liability for the project.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue strongly emphasizes themes of spiritual evolution, the concept of a New Age, the importance of religious and personal freedom, and the ongoing battle against negative "Alien Forces." The editorial stance, as channeled through Cosmic Awareness, is one of guidance and appeal for collective action to manifest a higher consciousness and a more peaceful world, using historical precedents and spiritual insights to motivate support for the Akasha Institute project. The newsletter promotes a belief in reincarnation and the interconnectedness of spiritual and material endeavors.
