This issue of Revelations of Awareness, a New-Age Cosmic Newsletter, presents a spiritual and socio-economic commentary. The main cover headline, "THE NEW CREATION," introduces a central theme of spiritual evolution and a departure from traditional religious and nationalistic structures. The newsletter is published by Cosmic Awareness Communications in Olympia, Washington.

The New Creation

The lead article, "THE NEW CREATION," interpreted by Ralph Duby, outlines the mission of "ministers of Awareness." These ministers are tasked with teaching people to move away from "old ways" and embrace new paths leading to a new state of being. This new state is not to be found in existing religions (Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism) or nationalism, but through an inner spiritual consciousness. The message emphasizes that a "new being" can emerge within each human soul, and faith is the confidence in one's capacity to realize this new being. The article urges ministers to avoid proselytizing or comparing religions and avatars, but rather to speak of the "new creation" that exists within all individuals. It highlights that this Awareness comes in humanity's greatest hour of need, offering life rather than death, and that old ways, old religions, old churches, nationalism, and Communism will all die.

The article further advises ministers to teach others not to feel rejected by speaking of pride or arrogance, but to follow the "Laws and Precepts" given by Awareness. It cautions against judging oneself or others, as life is not about appeasement and failure leads to hatred and hostility. The new state of being requires openness and the acceptance of what is offered, leading to a reality of "no separateness." Spiritual healing, it is taught, occurs when the mind and body experience the union of self with self. The current sense of separateness is unsustainable, and the old religions and present nationalism are identified as "greatest of all betrayers." Despite this, ministers are assured that their hearts should not be troubled, as Awareness calls all mankind together.

Who Really Leads Our Country?

This section features an article by Bob Chapman, excerpted from the Gary Allen Report. Chapman argues that individual freedom has been in a "losing battle" for years, suggesting that Ronald Reagan's presidency may not have been beneficial. He points to the American economy's lack of real growth over 18 years, fueled by debt, and the burden of federal taxes. Chapman criticizes the growth of welfare programs and projects a dire economic future with massive federal deficits and national debt by the year 2000.

He questions the true leadership of the country, citing the instance of Andre Gromyko meeting David Rockefeller before the President. Chapman alleges that the Reagan administration purged identifiable conservatives and is now embracing socialist policies, influenced by groups like the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations. He claims these groups aim to permanently change America. The article criticizes the planned relocation of American industrial capacity to foreign countries, which he believes will leave the U.S. vulnerable in case of war.

Chapman also discusses the issue of government procurement, subsidized dumping by Third World countries, and the redeployment of American industrial capacity, citing IBM's plans to build a plant in Mexico. He expresses concern that the public is kept in the dark by the "kept media." The article touches upon the role of banks in laundering drug money and criticizes the government's actions in bailing out banks while neglecting American farmers. It notes that communist bloc governments owe billions to U.S. and European banks, while American farmers face loan difficulties.

Economic Analysis and Inflation

Chapman further delves into the economic situation, challenging the official inflation rate of 4 1/2%, suggesting it is closer to 118%. He argues that government lies about inflation and that social and military spending will lead to massive budget deficits. The national debt is projected to exceed $13 trillion by 2000. He explains that high U.S. interest rates attract foreign capital, creating a trade deficit. The Federal Reserve's actions to prevent a slowdown are seen as inflationary, with the money supply increasing significantly. The dollar must be inflated to allow debtors to service their debts, leading to a potential collapse of the dollar and a spectacular gold rally.

The article highlights the precarious state of the nation's banks, with record loan losses and problem credits. It notes that the economic recovery has not benefited all sectors, and regulatory agencies are masking the true extent of the banking crisis. Six major money center banks, making up 25% of the system, are identified as critical; if they fail, all banks could go. The FDIC's limited funds are insufficient to handle potential problems. The Third World's inability to pay debts is mentioned, along with the Trilateralists' willingness to lend to the Soviet Union but not to allies like South Africa. The article suggests that a "political" solution, like the FED monetizing debt, will be inflationary. It also points out that corporations pay very little in taxes, while farmers struggle to get loans.

Future Economic Outlook

Chapman predicts that a balanced budget will not be achieved in 1985 and that Social Security will eventually break the government's financial back. He suggests that either high taxes, reduced benefits, or a restructured, privately operated system will be necessary. The high dollar is seen as a threat, potentially leading to corporate bailouts or a depression. The federal deficit is expected to exceed $500 billion annually. Paul Volcker is predicted to resign, and the prime rate could drop. A new currency is expected in 1986, and a cashless society is anticipated by 2010.

The article concludes with a somber outlook, stating that "unless there is a miracle, nothing is going to change in Washington." It advises readers to protect their assets.

ED's Note

An editor's note highlights Gary Allen, author of "None Dare Call it Conspiracy," and his monthly newsletter, "The Gary Allen Report." The note recommends the newsletter for its focus on conspiracies and advice for citizens to save their investments. It mentions that the reprint by Bob Chapman is a small excerpt from the April Gary Allen Report.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the spiritual transformation offered by "Cosmic Awareness" and "The New Creation," contrasted with the perceived failures and conspiracies within existing religious, political, and economic systems. The editorial stance is critical of mainstream institutions, including governments, banks, and traditional religions, which are portrayed as corrupt, self-serving, and leading humanity towards crisis. There is a strong emphasis on a hidden, powerful conspiracy controlling global events, particularly in the economic and political spheres. The newsletter advocates for a spiritual awakening and self-realization as the path to salvation, distinct from societal structures. The publication promotes a worldview that is skeptical of official narratives and encourages readers to question authority and seek alternative truths, particularly concerning economic stability and governmental actions.
