This issue of 'Revelations of Awareness' is dedicated to young people, offering guidance and insights from 'Cosmic Awareness' through its interpreter, Paul Shockley. The magazine presents itself as a source of spiritual information aimed at helping individuals enter a 'New Age' of consciousness. It encourages questioning and self-discovery, stating that the information provided is suggestive and not to be blindly believed.

The Importance of Learning Patience

The lead article, "The Importance of Learning Patience: An Address to Young People by Cosmic Awareness (Also, How Reincarnation and Karma Works)," addresses the inherent desire in entities to 'do something' and 'make a mark.' This drive, evident from infancy, evolves as individuals mature, seeking more significant creations. However, the article highlights a pervasive anxiety and impatience in contemporary society, particularly among young people, leading to rushed decisions, shortcuts, and a failure to develop necessary skills and prepare for responsibilities. This impatience is shown to manifest in premature engagement with adult behaviors, including sexual activities and substance abuse, often resulting in negative consequences and a disregard for education and orderly development.

The text emphasizes that true adulthood involves responsibility and careful preparation, likening the process to building a home step-by-step. It criticizes the tendency for young individuals to seek immediate gratification and avoid consequences, leading to chaotic life paths. The concept of 'The Law of Authority' is introduced, suggesting that one must be capable of accepting responsibility to be worthy of authority.

Overcoming Peer Pressure

In response to a question about teenagers overcoming peer pressure, Cosmic Awareness suggests that the most effective approach is not to impose rules but to engage in open, compassionate discussions. Adults should act as friends or older siblings, offering understanding and guidance without judgment. The teenage years (approximately 13-25) are identified as a critical period of intense change and decision-making, where entities are often resistant to advice from older generations who may be perceived as jealous or contemptuous.

Karma and Reincarnation

The issue delves into the nature of karma and reincarnation, addressing a letter from a reader who finds discrepancies between Cosmic Awareness's teachings and those of Seth Material. Cosmic Awareness clarifies that karma is self-imposed, an agreement to repay an obligation rather than a punishment. It is about resolving emotions and balancing debts, which can manifest as serving others or, in some cases, experiencing a similar situation to one's own past actions.

Regarding reincarnation, the publication distinguishes it from the concept of multiple personalities operating simultaneously on different frequencies. It explains that entities may reincarnate to complete unfinished dreams or resolve patterns, but not necessarily to repeat the exact same life. The idea of 'multiple lifetimes' is also linked to parallel experiences in different dimensions rather than sequential lives.

Time Travel and the Eternal Now

An article on "How to Go Back in Time" suggests that entities can experience the past by touching ancient artifacts with the intention of being present at the time of their creation. This is presented as a form of consciousness travel, allowing one to feel the environment and vibrations of that era. Similarly, "How to Realize the Past Through Sound" posits that since sound never truly ceases, the past is always present, albeit inaudible. The concept of the 'Eternal Now' is introduced, suggesting that all time—past, present, and future—exists simultaneously in this everlasting moment. This perspective challenges the linear perception of time.

Is Elvis Alive or Dead?

Addressing a popular question, Cosmic Awareness states that Elvis Presley has passed over. It clarifies that while some believe his death was a hoax or a conspiracy, the entity has reincarnated as a young child. The publication notes that it is common for great heroes to be rumored to be alive even after death, reflecting a human tendency to hold onto cherished figures.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual growth, self-awareness, and practical guidance for navigating life's challenges, particularly for young people. The editorial stance, as represented by Cosmic Awareness, is one of encouraging introspection, questioning, and personal responsibility, while offering insights into spiritual laws and concepts like karma and reincarnation. The publication emphasizes a non-dogmatic approach, urging readers to explore these ideas through their own inner understanding and experience.

Title: Revelations of Awareness
Issue: No. 88-7
Publisher: Cosmic Awareness Communications
Date: Undetermined (related to a July 20, 1987 Wall Street Journal article)
Price: $3.00
Document Type: Cosmic newsletter

This issue of Revelations of Awareness focuses on two primary topics: the enduring mystery of Oak Island's "Money Pit" and a spiritual interpretation of the phenomenon through "Cosmic Awareness," alongside a piece on the importance of tolerance.

The Mystery of Oak Island: Does the Fabulous "Money Pit" Contain Lost Treasure?

The lead article addresses a question from a reader, B.S. in Ohio, about the secret of Oak Island's money pit. It references a July 20, 1987, Wall Street Journal article detailing a planned $10 million excavation by a group of Canadian and American millionaires.

The history of the Money Pit's discovery in 1795 is recounted: three farmboys found a shallow depression on the wooded island, which turned out to be a filled-in shaft. Excavation revealed tightly fitted log platforms at 10-foot intervals, reaching 90 feet deep. At this depth, a slab of rock with a hieroglyphic inscription was found. Shortly after, sea water began to seep into the pit, rising to within 30 feet of the surface, making further excavation impossible by bailing.

Subsequent efforts involved sinking adjacent shafts and tunneling toward the Money Pit, but these also flooded with sea water, rising to 30 feet from the surface (sea level). In 1850, rock-walled tunnels were discovered at Smith's Cove, 500 feet east of the Money Pit, leading from beyond the low-tide mark to the island's interior. These tunnels, along with others found on the island's south side, are believed to have been part of a sophisticated flooding system, a booby trap designed to prevent access beyond 90 feet. The tight log platforms acted as a hydraulic seal, and their removal sprung the trap.

The article notes that over the years, there have been 15 major digs, the island is now honeycombed with tunnels and holes, over $3 million has been spent, and at least 6 people have died trying to reach the bottom of the Money Pit.

Cosmic Awareness Interpretation

Following the historical account, the newsletter presents an interpretation from "Cosmic Awareness" regarding the Money Pit. The entity questions its purpose, creator, and retrieval methods.

Cosmic Awareness suggests the site was once on the edge of a cliff at a higher elevation, and the area sunk, allowing the sea to come in. It likens the construction to a lighthouse, an ancient structure built by entities from Scandinavian countries long before Christopher Columbus, possibly around the time of Leif Erickson, to spot vessels.

This interpretation posits that these entities were marooned and hoped to make contact with Scandinavian vessels. The structure was also used to bring food supplies from the sea up the cliff to dwellings. It was built by lowering constructions down the cliff using levers and ropes.

Crucially, Cosmic Awareness indicates that there is no treasure at the bottom of the Money Pit. Instead, it suggests the structure has sunk under silt accumulated over hundreds of years.

Follow-Up Question: Gold Coins

A follow-up question arises from the article's mention that a drill, when put halfway down, returned with gold coins. The question is whether this could have been a pirate stashing treasure.

Cosmic Awareness responds that while it acknowledges the possibility, it does not see the gold coins as being present. It suggests this may have been fabricated to generate more funding for excavations. The energies surrounding the issue are described as unclear, and while not ruling out the possibility, Cosmic Awareness does not see it as accurate.

Closing Message

The closing message from Cosmic Awareness reflects on the nature of efforts to explore areas with historical or valuable potential. It notes that rumors often develop around such efforts, sometimes persisting even when discounted, driven by a human desire for excitement and significance. While acknowledging that legends can have substance, Cosmic Awareness indicates that in many cases, they remain just rumors. It encourages exploration but reiterates that it does not see treasure present at Oak Island. The message also suggests that the energies might not be strong enough at this time to reveal the treasure, if it exists.

Investment Advisory

An editor's note (ED's Note) mentions that the company currently launching a $10 million expedition is Triton Alliance Ltd., a Montreal-based consortium of 48 partners. It advises readers to consider the message from Awareness before investing in the company should stock be offered to the public.

The Importance of Being Tolerant

This section shifts focus to spiritual growth and the concept of tolerance. Cosmic Awareness states that as entities evolve spiritually and discover their true selves, maintaining tolerance is crucial. It highlights a balance in tolerance, warning against tolerating things that are out of bounds. It emphasizes recognizing when something is unacceptable while also maintaining rapport with others to influence them and keep them from straying too far from their chosen path.

However, it clarifies that if an entity no longer desires rapport and attempts to drag another off their path, one must cut ties until that entity is ready to return and align with the chosen path.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the enduring allure of historical mysteries and treasure hunts, juxtaposed with a spiritual and metaphysical interpretation of such phenomena. The "Cosmic Awareness" perspective consistently offers an alternative, often non-materialistic, explanation for unexplained events and legends. The editorial stance, as represented by "Cosmic Awareness," is cautious about claims of material treasure, emphasizing spiritual understanding and discernment. It also promotes the value of tolerance in spiritual and interpersonal interactions, while setting boundaries for unhealthy influences. The newsletter also engages in a form of investigative journalism by referencing external articles and providing investment advisories based on its unique perspective.
