Magazine Overview

Title: Revelations of Awareness
Issue: 80-23
Date: July 1, 1980
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Type: New-Age Cosmic Newsletter

This issue of Revelations of Awareness, published by Cosmic Awareness Communications, focuses on the Akasha Institute for Peace and Prosperity and its fundraising efforts to pay off its mortgage. The newsletter presents information received through 'Cosmic Awareness,' a force communicating via trance-interpreted messages.

The Peace College and its Mortgage

The primary focus of this issue is the Akasha Institute for Peace and Prosperity, which has been granted a reprieve regarding its mortgage. The entity holding the mortgage has verbally agreed to extend the payment deadline indefinitely. This extension is contingent on the institute's commitment and the ongoing efforts of Cosmic Awareness Communications (C.A.C.) members to raise the necessary funds. The newsletter indicates a high probability (98%) that the required amount will be raised, noting that over 50% has already been collected despite the original deadline being extended.

Fundraising Efforts and Membership Support

Cosmic Awareness emphasizes the value of contributions from its members, stating that those who have donated have been 'observed and noticed from forces on the inner plane.' The newsletter highlights that only a small percentage (approximately 20%) of C.A.C. members have responded so far, raising over half the necessary amount. A plea is made for the remaining 80% of the membership to consider contributing, suggesting that a longer-term commitment or loan could be more manageable than a compressed fundraising period.

The Concept of a Peace College

The newsletter strongly advocates for the establishment of a peace college, contrasting it with existing 'war colleges.' It argues that while there are numerous institutions teaching the techniques of war, there is a lack of places dedicated to teaching peace-making. The peace college is envisioned as an institution that would train individuals from all backgrounds in personal affairs, peaceful business practices, and conflict resolution, thereby promoting peace and prosperity.

Government-Financed Academies vs. Peace Colleges

Cosmic Awareness distinguishes its proposed peace college from government-financed academies that focus on training individuals for specific jobs within government or special-interest organizations. The proposed peace college aims to teach universal principles of peace applicable to all aspects of life.

Alien Forces and Progress

The text mentions that for approximately four years, 'extremely heavy Alien Forces' were attempting to block efforts in the York area related to this project. However, it states that these forces have now been dissipated, clearing the way for better movement toward the stated purpose.

The School's Current Status

In response to a question about the school opening its doors, Cosmic Awareness indicates that the school is 'already open and is already functioning, but on a very small scale.' The intention is to increase its capacity, bring in more students, organize the curriculum, and establish a solid financial base to protect it from 'financial attacks.' The 98% probability is attributed to the likelihood of stabilization and successful operation, with only a small chance of interference.

Call to Action and Donation

An 'ED's Note' explains that the Universal Service Foundation Fund-Raising Account has been established in Olympia to manage donations for the Peace College. All funds are designated for paying off the mortgage first, with any surplus used to fully open the school. The campaign is planned to be ongoing for the next year, and a donation form is provided.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are spiritual consciousness, the New Age, peace education, and the importance of collective action through membership support. The editorial stance, as conveyed through Cosmic Awareness, is strongly in favor of promoting peace and prosperity through education, contrasting this with the destructive nature of war and the institutions that promote it. There is a clear emphasis on the power of collective consciousness and financial contribution from the C.A.C. membership to achieve these goals.
