This issue of Revelations of Awareness, a New-Age Cosmic Newsletter, focuses on messages from 'Cosmic Awareness' channeled through Paul Shockley. The cover prominently features a warning about President Carter's alleged secret plan to seize dictatorial control using 'National Emergency Powers,' predicting that this move will fail as the masses awaken. The newsletter also delves into economic concerns, the importance of individual rights, and spiritual awakening.

Cosmic Awareness: The Boiling Pot of Consciousness

The opening message from Cosmic Awareness describes humanity as a 'boiling pot of consciousness' where differences are being reconciled. It suggests that modern communication technologies, while creating differences, are also part of an 'alchemical process' that will eventually lead to a unified, harmonious consciousness. This process is seen as a natural progression, with rough edges being smoothed out by the 'heat of rising consciousness.'

Dr. Beter's Absence and the Awakening Masses

A question is posed regarding the absence of Dr. Beter's informative newsletters due to a 'heart attack.' Cosmic Awareness indicates that this absence is causing greater attention to be focused on his previously given messages. The vacuum created by his silence is fostering a new respect for his work, as entities are now seeing the reality of his warnings in their own lives and daily news. The messages are being recalled, repeated, and spread, contributing to the awakening of the masses. The current crisis is forcing entities to confront issues and awaken, making further discussions of intrigues less essential than the ongoing awakening itself.

SPIRAL Organizations and Individual Rights

Cosmic Awareness suggests the formation of 'SPIRAL' organizations, which stands for The Society for the Protection of Individual Rights and Liberties. These organizations are encouraged to form a network to communicate with each other and spread available information to the masses, publishers, radio personalities, and national leaders. The goal is to create a decentralized network that spreads information organically, acting as 'eyes and ears' for the people and countering the influence of the controlled press. It is noted that these organizations may have differing viewpoints (leftish, rightish, middle), which will ultimately provide a more comprehensive view of issues and enlighten the masses.

Spotlight on Carter's 'Emergency Powers'

A section titled 'SPOTLIGHT' by George Nicholas details a 'secret plan' by President Carter to suspend the Constitution and seize total dictatorial control under the guise of a 'national emergency.' The article suggests that only a few within the 'inner circle' are aware of these unpublished revisions to 'Emergency Powers.' It urges readers to seek out specific issues of The Spotlight newspaper for further details on this alleged plan.

Economic Forewarnings and Advice

Cosmic Awareness warns that approximately 10% of the population is already aware that the current power structure is working for the vested interests of the super-wealthy. This awareness is expected to grow rapidly as crises deepen. The newsletter predicts continued inflation, particularly in energy and food prices, leading to shortages of food within the next two to three years. Farmers are expected to be forced out of business due to the cost of energy and petroleum. Readers are advised to store basic commodities, such as grains, for approximately six months to ensure personal security.

Furthermore, the issue highlights that Exxon's net profit rose 102% in the first quarter to nearly $1.93 billion, an all-time U.S. high. This surge in oil profits is noted even as a recession begins to affect other industries. The article points out the connection between Exxon, Rockefeller, and the Chase-Manhattan Bank, suggesting the Iranian crisis was planned to freeze Shah's plundered billions and prevent the bankruptcy of Chase-Manhattan.

Gold and Silver as Investments

Regarding financial conditions, Cosmic Awareness advises that valuable metals like gold and silver are good buys. The prices are currently low and expected to rise. Readers are encouraged to purchase these commodities, with the general trend for their prices being upward.

HB 1722 and the Revised Criminal Code

This Awareness indicates a need for SPIRAL organizations to examine House Bill 1722, a revision of the Criminal Code. This bill is seen as an attempt to strip away certain freedoms granted by the Constitution, enabling greater control over the masses.

The Iran Hostage Crisis and Russian Influence

A question is raised about the recent failed attempt to rescue hostages in Iran. Cosmic Awareness suggests that the plan was modified from a military one by civilian advisors, making its failure predictable. The timing of the event is linked to overshadowing a scheduled '60 Minutes' broadcast that was to expose the Rockefellers' involvement with the Shah and the transfer of billions to Chase-Manhattan Bank. The decision to proceed with the risky rescue attempt is seen as a move to divert attention from this story. The Russians are also noted to have interfered in the action, contributing to the chaos and increasing their influence in Iran.

Shortage of Air Force Spares and Job Seekers

News items include a report that the Air Force does not have enough spare parts for its aircraft in the event of an intense air war. Another item details a significant job shortage, with over 4,500 people seeking only 550 positions at a new hotel in Milwaukee.

Tracking the Cattle Mutilators and Pravda's Criticism of Carter

An article debunks the theory that cattle mutilations are the work of religious cults, with a behavioral scientist suggesting it's 'silliness.' The mutilations, involving the precise removal of body parts, have led to wild rumors. Separately, the Soviet Union's daily newspaper, Pravda, criticized President Carter, calling him a 'born-again war hawk' who prioritizes election interests over national ones.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual awakening, the potential for government overreach and control, economic instability, and the importance of individual awareness and rights. The editorial stance, as conveyed through 'Cosmic Awareness,' is one of caution regarding political and economic manipulation, but ultimately optimistic about humanity's capacity to awaken and overcome these challenges. There is a strong emphasis on self-reliance, critical thinking, and the formation of supportive networks (SPIRAL) to disseminate information and foster collective consciousness.
