Title: Revelations of Awareness
Issue: 82-21 (The New-Age Cosmic Newsletter)

This issue of Revelations of Awareness, published by Cosmic Awareness Communications, addresses a wide range of topics centered around spiritual growth, societal issues, and the nature of consciousness. The cover prominently features the question "WHAT WENT WRONG? WHAT ARE WE DOING TO OURSELVES?", accompanied by a list of crisis hotlines and an illustration of distressed faces, setting a tone of concern for the state of modern society.
The Price of Power: The Tragic Flaw in the Concept of Our Civilization
The magazine begins by exploring a question posed by a United Technology advertisement regarding societal misery. Cosmic Awareness posits that the premise of something being 'right' and now 'wrong' is flawed, asserting that the current state of debauchery, violence, and sickness has been a long-standing condition. The brief period of perceived civilization in the mid-20th century is seen as a facade, during which the U.S. began its expansionist policies, building armaments and engaging in covert operations. The core issue, according to Awareness, is the rise of forces (like the Illuminati or Bolsheviks) that manipulated public opinion, finances, and morality to gain control. This corruption extended into religious and secret organizations. The concept of civilization in the 1950s, while appearing stable, was flawed by a sense of superiority that led to the exploitation of other cultures and a compromised sense of honesty.
The Breakdown of the Family Unit
Cosmic Awareness identifies the breakdown of the family unit as a significant factor. This is attributed to societal shifts that separated families, increased parental work demands, and the rise of television as a primary caregiver and source of values for children, replacing genuine parental interaction. The messages children receive from television are described as multifaceted, filled with excitement, shock, violence, and simplistic concepts.
Changing Values from the 80's
The issue discusses the changing values since the 1960s, which have shattered previous societal structures. While the 1950s are retrospectively viewed as a period of stagnation, they also represented a time when the U.S. held significant power without excessive aggression and focused on domestic rebuilding. However, the Marshall Plan, while aiding in rebuilding other nations, is seen as a catalyst for economic decline and increased national debt. The U.S. became a global policing force, mirroring a similar trend in communist countries. Increased global awareness through media has led to a diminished focus on family and personal values, with individuals becoming cogs in a larger machinery, driven by the need to earn a living and meet basic needs.
The government's increased role in social programs has created a generation dependent on state provision. This has led to a sense of entitlement, where individuals feel justified in extracting from society what they believe is their right, often through theft or deceit, rationalizing that the wealthy (government, corporations) have cheated them.
The Nightmare of Modern Existence
For some, the current state of the planet is perceived as a "nightmare" where survival necessitates aggressive or unethical behavior. This is particularly true for younger generations born into a world lacking family unity, personal interest from others, and facing constant pressure from media, advertisements, and the threat of annihilation. This environment fosters a lack of self-worth, leading to alcoholism, drug abuse, and debauchery. When goals and hopes for the future are weakened or denied, entities lose enthusiasm for productive endeavors, becoming passive or reactive.
The lack of clarity regarding future existence is identified as the root cause of societal and individual problems, hindering the creation of a healthy civilization.
The Death Wish and Its Relation to Cancer
This section addresses a question about the connection between a 'death wish' and cancer, particularly for vegetarians. Cosmic Awareness explains that the mind's emotional state directly influences the body's cells. A strong emotional message, or 'order from headquarters,' can program cells for self-destruction. While nutrition is important, the mental attitude and faith accompanying it are crucial for healing. The concept of 'amplitude'—the intensity of emotion or will—is key. A powerful, positive emotional message, exceeding the amplitude of the original destructive message, can initiate healing and reverse the self-destruct process. Herbs, drugs, and even placebos can be effective if accompanied by strong faith.
How Amplitude Heals and Removes Subconscious Blocks
This part further elaborates on the power of emotional amplitude in healing. It explains that the subconscious mind, like an army of cells, responds to these strong emotional commands. When an entity has experienced trauma, the resulting emotional charge can affect them for years. To reverse this, one must consciously re-experience and express the feelings associated with the trauma, using high-amplitude emotions to defuse the charge. This can be achieved through conscious remembrance, verbal expression, and action, potentially requiring multiple attempts.
Is a New Super Race Being Bred?
Cosmic Awareness comments on a book, "Sexual Encounters from the Cosmos," suggesting that while it plays on sexual salesmanship, it touches upon the concept of a 'super race' being bred through the interaction of inner plane beings and humans. This involves entities opening themselves to higher vibrations. Additionally, genetic alterations are occurring, leading to the emergence of 'super-beings' through various methods, including those developed by the Soviet Union.
Are Atomic Bombs Obsolete?
This section discusses a new "implosion bomb" tested by Israel against Lebanon. Cosmic Awareness confirms its existence, relating it to anti-matter and reverse polarity, similar to a black hole theory. This weapon is described as capable of causing disruption without extreme radiation, making it a destructive tool that avoids the widespread fallout of nuclear devices. It is suggested that this weapon was projected from a distance using charged particle beams.
Why So Many Cesarean Sections?
Cosmic Awareness attributes the rise in Cesarean sections to the spread of herpes and the increased income doctors can derive from this method compared to normal birth. While it is considered safer for the child when herpes is involved, the financial incentive is also a factor.
Everyone Should Meditate Daily
This section emphasizes the importance of daily meditation for entities to tune into the soul and achieve inner peace, especially during stressful times. Meditation on the inner Light and sound current is highlighted as particularly valuable. Maintaining an upright spine is recommended for conscious alertness. The benefits of meditation are seen as outweighing any perceived loss of time from other activities, contributing to physical and spiritual well-being.
How Your Meditation Effects Others
Cosmic Awareness confirms that meditation can affect the surrounding area, linking this to neutrinos. Neutrinos are described as sub-particles that carry attitudes and information at speeds faster than light, acting as a link between consciousness and matter. Meditation enhances an entity's connection to neutrinos, allowing for psychic abilities and the influencing of mind over matter. The most effective form of meditation is an attitude of "universal love," but for those who find this difficult, attentive meditations focusing on Light, sound current, and universal love are recommended.
The Definition of Love
Love is defined as an action comprising radiance, magnetism, and well-being, which, when commingled with neutrinos, spreads and enhances love qualities throughout the universe.
The Astrological Influence of Neutrino
Attitudes of hostility, expressed through neutrinos, can be carried to others, influencing moods and potentially leading to negative astrological interpretations. Conversely, positive attitudes are also amplified and spread.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the perceived decline of modern civilization due to a loss of spiritual values and the breakdown of fundamental societal structures like the family. There is a strong emphasis on the power of the mind and consciousness in healing, personal transformation, and influencing external reality, particularly through meditation and emotional amplitude. The publication also engages with topics related to extraterrestrial influence and advanced weaponry, reflecting a New Age perspective that seeks to understand and navigate these phenomena. The editorial stance, as conveyed through Cosmic Awareness, is one of critical analysis of societal trends and a promotion of spiritual self-awareness and inner power as solutions.

Content Summary
Meditation and Spiritual Awareness
The magazine features extensive content on meditation, particularly the "Hong Sau Meditation" as taught by Paramahansa Yogananda and the entity Kriyananda through the Self-Realization Fellowship. Cosmic Awareness explains that this meditation is highly effective for stilling the mind, which is often plagued by incessant, involuntary thoughts, likened to a radio or television that cannot be turned off. The entity describes a rare opposite experience where individuals struggle to form thoughts internally but can speak or read aloud. The ideal state is a balanced mind that can think when desired and remain silent and attentive to experiences without internal chatter. The Hong Sau Meditation is presented as the best method to achieve this mental quietude by focusing on the breath, mentally repeating 'Hong' on inhalation and 'Sau' on exhalation, and emphasizing the silence between breaths.
Additionally, a meditation technique is presented as "A Last-Ditch Effort to Avert Nuclear War through Meditation." This meditation involves visualizing the universe as a sphere, moving consciousness towards a White Light at its center, and then visualizing ripples of this light emanating outwards to harmonize the earth plane and counteract self-serving actions that lead to the threat of nuclear war. The instructions suggest practicing this for 15-30 minutes daily, especially during specific times indicated for different time zones, with the goal of diminishing the threat of nuclear war.
Historical Mysteries and Anomalies
The issue addresses the intriguing historical event known as "The day Niagara Falls Disappeared." Citing an article from the Journal for Natural Health and Parapsychology, the magazine recounts how, on March 30, 1848, the roar of Niagara Falls ceased, and the river ran dry, revealing mud-puddles and exposed rocks. This phenomenon lasted for 24 hours before the river mysteriously returned. Cosmic Awareness confirms the accuracy of this account, suggesting that a diversion of water upstream, possibly due to an earthquake, caused a blockage that backed up the water, forming a lake which eventually broke free and flowed back into the main river course, approximately 50 miles upstream.
Humanitarian Crisis in Laos
A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the ongoing danger posed by unexploded bomblets in Laos, remnants of the Indochina war. These small, tennis ball-sized devices lie buried in fields, posing a constant threat of death or injury. The article recounts a tragic incident where a mother of ten was killed by a bomblet while hoeing her garden. Farmers describe the difficulty and danger of clearing their fields, noting that while burning grass can detonate some bomblets, and others can be carefully picked up, hoes often explode them. Shovels are presented as a safer tool for this task.
The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is highlighted for having provided 630 shovels to Xieng Khuang Province in 1981. The Laotians have expressed a need for 50,000 shovels to equip each provincial farm. A company in Ames, Iowa, is offering high-quality shovels at half price ($10 each), but special funds are still required to meet the enormous need. The AFSC is also involved in providing materials for artificial limbs but prefers to help Laotians clear the bomblets rather than deal with the consequences. The magazine includes a call to action, urging readers to "Buy a Shovel" and "Save a Life" by sending contributions to the AFSC.
Other Mentions
Leonard Hascall is mentioned for his book about the "Cosmotron," which Cosmic Awareness equates to the neutrino. The magazine also notes that C.A.C. stocks "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda and provides contact information for Self-Realization Fellowship and SPIRAL Feedback, the source for the nuclear war meditation instructions.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are spiritual growth through meditation, the potential for collective action to avert global threats like nuclear war, and the importance of addressing immediate humanitarian crises. The editorial stance is one of empowerment, suggesting that individuals can influence global events through spiritual practices and direct aid. There is a strong emphasis on the "Cosmic Awareness" perspective, which provides explanations for both historical anomalies and current global challenges, offering guidance and solutions through meditation and conscious action. The publication also demonstrates a commitment to raising awareness about lesser-known humanitarian issues, such as the bomblet crisis in Laos, and mobilizing support for them.
