This issue of Revelations of Awareness, a New-Age Cosmic Newsletter, features a cover with a serene image of a child in a field and the bold headline "IT'S SO SIMPLE!". The main content delves into profound questions about humanity's future, societal structures, and the nature of reality, as channeled through Cosmic Awareness.

Can Planet Earth Handle Ten Billion People? (An Alternative to the "Global 2000" Conspiracy)

The lead article addresses a question about population control, questioning whether the "population explosion" is a genuine crisis or a pretext for inaction. Cosmic Awareness suggests that if wars are prevented and medical advancements continue, the global population will increase by approximately one billion by the end of the century and reach about 8 billion by 2100. It posits that there are about 10 billion entities in or around Earth capable of reincarnation, and that there is sufficient 'room' if entities respect each other's space. The channeled entity emphasizes that the vast energies spent on developing weapons of war could instead be used to feed the hungry, highlighting that approximately half of all productive energies in advanced industrial nations are consumed by the war machine.

The Reasons for Armaments

Cosmic Awareness explains that armaments are fundamentally intended to protect livelihood, food supply, and the good things in life. It suggests that entities who feel their livelihood is secured by military might expend half their life's energy to protect the other half. The message advocates for cooperation, negotiation, and reconciliation to redirect these energies towards ensuring a similar livelihood for all, thereby removing the need for conflict.

A Simple Solution to End War on This Plane

This section addresses a follow-up question regarding the nature of future entities incarnating on Earth. Cosmic Awareness indicates that many entities will return for soul growth, and while some are highly developed, there are also many needing more lifetimes. The "simple solution" to end war is presented as recognizing others as "friends" rather than "enemies." This distinction arises from familiarity and understanding; suspicion and fear, particularly between nations, stem from a lack of knowledge, different languages, cultures, or appearances, leading to paranoia.

How to Handle Renegade Nations

The newsletter proposes that nations could form a "National Society of Nations" where members agree not to make war and abide by civil laws. Nations that refuse to join or that create violence would be considered outlaws and denied benefits of trade and communication. A "World Court" is suggested, where nations could sue each other, and all nations would agree to abide by its findings. Nations refusing to comply would face ostracization and trade embargoes, a more appropriate response than constant arms buildup.

What Ever Happened to William Broder?

This section addresses a question about "William Broder," who in the late 1970s and early 1980s placed mysterious classified ads in the Village Voice newspaper. These ads warned of government conspiracies, including plans for a nuclear first-strike against Russia and the alleged murder and replacement of the Pope and President Carter with doubles. The entity signing these messages, "William Broder," was untraceable, leading to speculation about his identity and source of information. Cosmic Awareness indicates that this entity likely ceased his messages due to extreme danger and moved into hiding, though he is believed to be alive.

Beware: Your Heating Oil May Be Causing You Health Problems

A question from Philadelphia concerns the possibility that home heating oil, laced with contaminated chemicals, contributes to respiratory issues like bronchitis. Cosmic Awareness affirms this, suggesting the problem is more severe in certain areas like Pennsylvania, where refineries use chemicals in processing. While heating oil is considered more hazardous than electric heat, it is less damaging than coal. An alternative suggested for improving air quality is the use of air purifiers.

Mysterious Moons and Planets That Seemingly Come and Go

This section discusses observations of a planet inside Mercury and a moon around Venus. Cosmic Awareness confirms these as realities, suggesting these celestial bodies may be astral in nature rather than solid material. It explains that the sun's energy feels hot due to atmospheric friction, but space and the sun itself are cool. These astral energies can become visible under certain atmospheric conditions and may appear and disappear.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue consistently emphasizes themes of peace, nonviolence, and the redirection of human energy from conflict and armaments towards constructive purposes like feeding the hungry and fostering global cooperation. The editorial stance, as conveyed through Cosmic Awareness, promotes spiritual growth, self-discovery, and a move towards a higher consciousness ("One Mind") to overcome fear and violence. There is a clear critique of militarism and a belief in humanity's capacity to solve its problems through education, cooperation, and a shift in perspective, moving away from threat and towards unity.
