This issue of Revelations of Awareness, a New-Age Cosmic Newsletter, focuses on the nature of Cosmic Awareness itself and its relationship with prominent spiritual figures, particularly Edgar Cayce. The cover features a prominent question: "WHO WAS EDGAR CAYCE? WHAT IS THE A.R.E.? AFTER 50 YEARS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD STILL ASKS THE QUESTION." The newsletter includes a general reading from Cosmic Awareness and a letter from Hugh Lynn Cayce, Chairman of the Board of the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.).

Cosmic Awareness and its Identity

The newsletter begins by introducing Cosmic Awareness as the Force that has expressed itself through various avatars, including Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed, and Edgar Cayce. It states that since 1963, Cosmic Awareness has been communicating through trained channels, with information received from super-conscious trance levels and interpreted by an entity affiliated with C.A.C. The information is intended for those who wish to help bring in the New Age. A disclaimer notes that C.A.C., the Aquarian Church of Universal Service, and the Interpreter, Paul Shockley, are not responsible for anything Cosmic Awareness states, nor do they necessarily believe or agree with the statements.

The 'Marketplace of Life'

A 'General Reading No. 2' from November 5, 1979, addresses the concept of the 'marketplace of life.' Cosmic Awareness explains that this marketplace involves entities offering and receiving various items, both tangible and intangible, such as services or information. Each entity acts as both buyer and seller, with the right to determine what they offer and receive. Entities can be influenced by advertisements and claims, but ultimately, they are the same in their basic status as needing assistance. The Awareness emphasizes that while entities have the right to make claims, they must also be responsible for the validity of those claims. It suggests that in the marketplace, entities should allow rapport, harmony, and love to be primary, while also recognizing each other's rights and territories to minimize conflict.

Edgar Cayce, the A.R.E., and Interpretation

A significant portion of the newsletter is dedicated to addressing a letter from Hugh Lynn Cayce, son of Edgar Cayce and Chairman of the Board of the A.R.E. Hugh Lynn Cayce expresses concern that the 'Revelations of Awareness' newsletter presented Cosmic Awareness as the force behind Edgar Cayce and other avatars, suggesting that some individuals might consider this inclusion sacrilegious. He requests that the statement be qualified with 'In the opinion of the Trance-Interpreter' to avoid confusion and to help the A.R.E. clarify comparisons. He also notes that some material from Cosmic Awareness appears to be a 'negative stream' that does not parallel the Edgar Cayce data.

Cosmic Awareness responds by stating that it does have the right to comment on the situation involving the Interpreter and the Edgar Cayce movement. It reveals that the present Interpreter worked with Ra-Ta in ancient Egypt and experienced a form of mummification designed to transmit programmed concepts over time. This programming, instigated by Ra-Ta and Hepsut, was intended to speed up consciousness and evolution, sometimes by creating conflicts and wars. This process, originating from Ancient Egypt, was designed to influence consciousness and accelerate evolution, particularly during times of stress.

Cosmic Awareness clarifies that it is a mistake to confuse the Interpreter with the consciousness that speaks through them, drawing a parallel to how followers of Jesus believed the Christ Consciousness and the man Jesus were the same. It emphasizes that the focus should be on the message, not the messenger or the structure (like the church or the A.R.E.). The Awareness states that the work of the A.R.E. in presenting Edgar Cayce's messages is profound, akin to opening a chakra in humanity's consciousness. It suggests that Edgar Cayce's work relates to the opening of the throat chakra, explaining mysteries locked within Christianity, while Cosmic Awareness's messages, through its present and future Interpreters, will relate to the pineal and pituitary chakras.

Cosmic Awareness asserts that there is no quarrel on a cosmic level between Christianity, Edgar Cayce's philosophies, and its own channeled information; it sees only the movement, adjustment, and changes occurring as humanity becomes more aware. It acknowledges that some entities within organizations may see conflicts that they wish to clarify, but suggests this is part of the natural flow of change.

The Awareness also addresses the caption used in the newsletter, stating that the Interpreter did not write it and does not have significant responsibility for the newsletter's content, as his role is primarily to channel Cosmic Awareness during agreed-upon times.

Further Clarifications and Context

Cosmic Awareness addresses the A.R.E. directly, stating that it does not hold the organization or its members responsible for not responding to a call for urgency regarding a potential crisis (implied to be related to nuclear war). It explains that while certain urgencies were necessary to bring certain energies into play and to prevent chaos, not all entities were aware of the situation. The Awareness emphasizes that it is the Spirit that is constant, while the medium or interpretation changes. It states that the name given to the Spirit (God, Cosmic Awareness, Brahman, Love) is a matter of interpretation, and that the Spirit remains the same regardless of the name used.

The newsletter includes references to previous issues of 'Revelations of Awareness' and other materials related to Edgar Cayce and Cosmic Awareness, including specific readings and books available from C.A.C. and A.R.E.

An editor's note provides context regarding the distribution of C.A.C. readings to the A.R.E. and mentions a personal revelation about Vikki T. being the daughter of Ra-Ta (Edgar Cayce), named Is-Is-Ao, and her connection to the concept of the 'perfect form' and the 'issue' of her beauty in ancient times.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

Recurring themes include the nature of consciousness, the role of avatars and channels, the distinction between the message and the messenger, the process of spiritual evolution, and the interpretation of spiritual phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of promoting spiritual awareness and understanding, encouraging individuals to question and explore rather than blindly accepting information, and emphasizing the underlying unity of spiritual forces despite differing interpretations or organizational structures. The newsletter advocates for a focus on the message and spiritual growth rather than on personalities or past pronouncements.
