This issue of 'Revelations of Awareness' is a New-Age Cosmic Newsletter published by Cosmic Awareness Communications. The newsletter presents itself as a conduit for 'Cosmic Awareness,' a force that has expressed through various historical spiritual figures and now communicates through trained channels to guide humanity into a 'New Age' of spiritual consciousness. The publication emphasizes that the information received is for those who desire to help bring in this New Age and encourages readers to question, explore, and discover truth for themselves, rather than blindly believing. The editors and interpreters are not responsible for the content, which is presented as interpretations of energies from deep super-conscious levels.

Key Themes and Articles

The Concept of the Here and Now: Getting Your Trip Together

The main focus of this issue, presented as a trance lecture from April 7, 1984, by 'This Awareness' through interpreter Paul Shockley, is the philosophical exploration of time and space in relation to consciousness and experience. The core idea is that time and space are perpendicular forces that meet in the 'Here and Now.' While a physical location may remain constant, the events occurring within it are in perpetual change due to the passage of time. Entities can use a specific location or moment as a reference point to understand the flow of time and the interconnectedness of events across vast distances.

This Awareness explains that entities often get caught up in dwelling on the past (regrets, nostalgia) or projecting anxieties into the future (fears, hopes). This distracts from the present moment, which is the only point of true experience and action. The newsletter uses the metaphor of a train to illustrate how life moves forward, and entities cannot stop or build a permanent dwelling on a single moment, as time compels movement. Those who cling to the past or are overly focused on the future are not in tune with the present reality.

Entities are encouraged to use their awareness to observe the movement of time and space, likening it to riding a train or a wave. By focusing on the present moment, one can gain a better understanding of life's experiences. The newsletter suggests meditating on time, visualizing oneself on this 'train of time,' and observing the myriad events occurring simultaneously across the globe. This helps to grasp the vastness and fullness of life.

The concept of the 'Here and Now' is presented as vital for spiritual growth. It's not about being limited to a 5-foot radius or a 5-minute timeframe, but about being present in one's own being and the presentness of time, regardless of the historical period. Dwelling on past regrets or future anxieties without taking present action drains energy and hinders progress.

The Role of Action and Volition

This Awareness stresses that inspiration (hopes for the future) is insufficient without action. Entities may dream of grand achievements, but these remain fantasies unless put into practice. The volition to act is paramount. The newsletter advises against being paralyzed by fear of the future; instead, one should be forewarned to develop strategies. It cautions that projecting fears can sometimes lead to their manifestation, as entities may subconsciously act in ways that bring about their feared outcomes.

Navigating Future Dangers and Opportunities

When discussing future events or dangers, the purpose is not to cause entities to stumble but to warn them. The analogy of skiing is used: one should be aware of the stumps (dangers) but focus on the trail (path forward) to navigate safely. This requires faith, trust in one's skills, and an organized approach to combining hopes and fears.

The Omnipresence of the Eternal Now

Entities who are more attuned to the movement of time and place, and who are in sync with the 'Eternal Now,' are more likely to experience good fortune and are easier for 'This Awareness' to guide. Synchronization and coincidences are seen as results of being in tune with the omnipresence of present place and time. Conversely, those who are locked into wasted future hopes, unreality, or past memories often find things going wrong because their energies are misdirected.

The Journey of Self-Development

The newsletter emphasizes that there is no external director on the 'train of life.' Entities must take responsibility for their own development. This involves learning, cleansing the soul of irrelevant desires, and streamlining oneself towards important goals. Upon arriving at new stations (stages of life), entities should be capable of assisting others in their own development. The process is one of continuous learning and application, leading to rapid change and growth.

Gratitude and Donations

The issue concludes with a note about the Law of Gratitude and information on obtaining cassette tapes of the trance lectures. It also provides details on membership fees and donations to Cosmic Awareness Communications, stating that these are used to spread awareness messages and that the organization does not support the war machine.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue strongly emphasizes themes of self-awareness, personal responsibility, and spiritual growth through active engagement with the present moment. The editorial stance is one of guidance and suggestion, encouraging introspection and self-discovery rather than dictating beliefs. The concept of 'Cosmic Awareness' as a guiding force is central, but the ultimate power and responsibility for action and change lie with the individual entity. There is a clear focus on practical application of spiritual concepts to improve one's life and contribute to a broader 'New Age' consciousness. The newsletter promotes a non-profit, non-war stance.
