Magazine Overview

This issue of "Revelations of Awareness" (Issue 83-4), published by Cosmic Awareness Communications, is dated 1983 and priced at $3.00. The cover boldly asks "WHERE DID MAN COME FROM?" and features an illustration of a caveman-like figure and an astronaut, alongside an image of a gorilla. The newsletter aims to explore the origins of humanity and related spiritual and cosmic concepts.

Key Articles and Themes

The Origin of Man and Evolution

The central theme revolves around the origins of humanity, challenging Darwin's theory of evolution. Cosmic Awareness posits that human evolution was not solely a natural process but was significantly influenced by extraterrestrial beings. The concept of a "missing link" is reinterpreted not as a gap in the evolutionary chain, but as the result of interbreeding between highly evolved entities and less evolved species. The text discusses how these extraterrestrial interventions, referred to as "genetic engineering" and "celestial beings" mating with "daughters of man," led to the development of new types of beings, such as the "Hu-man."

One article addresses a specific incident: the birth of a baby with a tail in Boston. While a doctor described it as a "striking clinical confrontation with the reality of evolution," Cosmic Awareness suggests it also points to "involution" where "forces from above" altered evolving creatures. The explanation for such anomalies is attributed to embryo upset due to chemical imbalances, hormonal issues, drug use, or radiation, particularly in earlier times.

The publication delves into the "3 Ways Man Was Created," identifying natural evolution through animal souls, extraterrestrial influence, and creation by entities like Jehovah (creating clones) as the primary routes. It highlights the role of "sons of god" and "daughters of man" in selective breeding and genetic manipulation.

Ancient Civilizations and Cosmic History

The issue touches upon ancient civilizations, mentioning the OONs (Owens/Owans), Titans, Atlans, and Cyclops, who possessed advanced technology and traveled between planets. It notes that these entities were involved in battles and influenced the evolutionary process on Earth. The influence of the OONs is linked to the creation of the Great Pyramid of Egypt and South American pyramids, with Jehovah's entry occurring later.

Cosmic Awareness also discusses the concept of "Nature Spirit Realm" and how entities from this realm can interact with animals. It contrasts Eastern and Western philosophies regarding the development of the soul versus the spirit, noting that Western societies have historically emphasized the soul, while Eastern philosophies focus on consciousness and the etheric body. The text suggests that the current era is seeing a shift, with Eastern societies focusing more on the individual and desires, and Western societies on consciousness.

The "Missing Link" Theory

Regarding Darwin's "missing link," Cosmic Awareness suggests that the problem lies in the disruption of the natural evolutionary pattern by an influx of highly evolved extraterrestrial entities. These beings, originating from different times and cultures, merged with evolving souls, creating a sudden leap in development that obscured the gradual evolutionary chain. Entities like the OONs, fish people, Cyclops, Atlans, Titans, and Els are mentioned as having significantly affected the evolutionary chain.

Economic Forecasts and Social Commentary

The issue includes economic analysis for 1983. Cosmic Awareness predicts that the recession may have bottomed out, with potential improvements in business activities due to lowered interest rates. However, it forecasts a significant rise in inflation after the next election, unless a military conflict in the Middle East occurs or banks collapse. The publication also addresses concerns about the Social Security system, suggesting it will remain functional for at least three to five years before another reevaluation. It offers advice for elderly members worried about the system's stability, recommending "cottage industries" and self-employment as alternative income sources, while cautioning against "envelope stuffing schemes."

Spiritual Guidance and Philosophy

A message to "Light Workers" advises against judging or condemning, emphasizing the promotion of Light over the tactics of Darkness. It suggests campaigning for positive causes like peace and life, rather than against their opposites (war and death). The "Closing Message" describes a "thaw" where extreme polarities are melting, leading to a less polarized state and a greater presence of Light.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

Throughout the issue, Cosmic Awareness consistently emphasizes the influence of higher consciousness and extraterrestrial forces on human development and planetary events. The publication promotes a spiritual and metaphysical perspective, encouraging self-discovery and questioning established theories. The editorial stance is one of providing insights into cosmic laws, spiritual evolution, and the interconnectedness of all things, often through channeled messages. There is a recurring theme of past-life influences, genetic engineering by advanced beings, and the potential for humanity to evolve beyond its current limitations through spiritual awareness.

REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS is a cosmic newsletter published for the membership of Cosmic Awareness Communications. This issue, dated sometime in the late 20th century, focuses on geopolitical tensions, nuclear threats, and societal responses. The main cover headline addresses "Reagan's Nuclear Missiles and First-Strike Schemes," with a sub-headline noting that "The Skoptsis take him seriously."

Reagan's Nuclear Policies and the Threat of War

The issue begins with a question about whether President Reagan's placement of larger missiles in Europe, aimed at the Soviet Union, is a bluff or a genuine threat. The Soviet Union has warned Japan of potential consequences if it allows U.S. missiles and has implied it would place more missiles closer to the U.S., possibly in Cuba. "Cosmic Awareness" suggests that the Reagan administration is adopting a dogmatic and tough stance, similar to U.S. dealings with the Soviet Union in the '50s and early '60s. This approach is seen as an attempt to appear unpredictable and insane to induce compromise and negotiation rather than direct conflict.

The Awareness indicates that while there is no immediate danger of nuclear war breakout, there are possibilities of conventional wars and intrigues between superpowers. A greater war is potentially seen in approximately one year. However, the text introduces a significant element: extraterrestrial forces are observing and influencing events to prevent a nuclear holocaust. These forces allow superpowers to feel in control while gently guiding them through critical maneuvers to avoid war. While nuclear war is not entirely ruled out, it is deemed unlikely, with any attempts at limited nuclear strikes expected to be ineffective if galactic intervention is required.

The Awareness notes that the Russians do not perceive Reagan's actions as a bluff and are hardening their position, signaling readiness and attempting to intimidate U.S. allies. This maneuver is seen as effective because smaller nations recognize their vulnerability to conflict and may doubt U.S. protection, thus influencing them to seek compromise.

The Ministry of Fear and Income Tax Protests

Another section addresses anti-nuclear groups planning campaigns around income tax day to protest war spending. A question is posed to "Awareness" about the benefit of people withholding income taxes to prevent war, noting that such efforts have historically failed due to fear of the IRS.

"Cosmic Awareness" states that this approach is generally unworkable because the IRS has significant power and clout. However, it acknowledges that many individuals are looking for an excuse to withhold taxes and feel justified in doing so. This action, while potentially creating turbulence with the IRS and difficulty for participants, can dramatize public sentiment and point out that people are tired of paying for destructive weapons. The Awareness suggests that these "gangs under the names of nations" with their war machines and greedy requests for destructive power need their budgets cut off to force them to find alternative ways of relating beyond threats and weaponry.

While not endorsing tax withholding as the appropriate method, the Awareness sees it as an attempt to focus attention and potentially create a snowballing effect, encouraging more people to object to their money being used for weapons of destruction.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of REVELATIONS OF AWARENESS consistently promotes the idea of a hidden, guiding force (extraterrestrial or cosmic) influencing world events to prevent catastrophic outcomes like nuclear war. The editorial stance is critical of military buildup and aggressive foreign policy, particularly that of the Reagan administration, viewing it as a dangerous game of "intimidation" and "fear-mongering." There is a strong undercurrent of skepticism towards governmental actions and a call for individuals to recognize and resist destructive tendencies, even if the methods proposed (like tax protests) are not fully endorsed. The publication frames itself as a source of deeper understanding, offering the "Cosmic Awareness Precept of RESIST NOT EVIL" as a guiding principle for the "20th century Avatar."
