World Peace by the Year 2000: The End to the Whip and the Gun

This section, presented as a message from Cosmic Awareness, outlines a vision for global peace by the year 2000, centered on the concept of a World Court. The core idea is that a global legal system, backed by economic sanctions rather than military force, will resolve international conflicts. The message highlights the decline of Communism and the rise of democratic and free enterprise systems globally. It suggests that nations will be judged and potentially quarantined or penalized by economic means if they do not adhere to agreed-upon international standards and laws. This shift is seen as a natural evolution towards a more cooperative and civilized world order, driven by global communication and interconnectedness.

A World Court: The End of the Gun and the Whip

This article expands on the World Court concept, drawing parallels to historical methods of dispute resolution, from jousting to the law in the American West. It argues that while might may have made right in the past, a system of law, equally applied to all, is necessary for creating balance and harmony. The piece envisions a future where nations are brought before a World Court, judged by impartial international bodies, and subject to sanctions if they violate rulings. This system is presented as a way to avoid war and establish a "World Government of and by the People," where nations are represented and governed by agreed-upon laws, mirroring the structure of the United States government.

The article discusses how this system would work, using the Falkland Islands war as an example of a conflict that could have been resolved through legal means. It emphasizes that nations refusing to abide by the World Court's rulings would be treated as "outlaw nations" and face economic isolation, effectively being "arrested" economically rather than militarily.

Would a World Court Be Fought by Those Money-Changers Who Profit by Selling Arms to Both Sides?

This section addresses a potential objection to the World Court concept: how it might be received by international bankers who profit from financing wars. Cosmic Awareness suggests that a peaceful world could actually be more beneficial for investors, citing the stabilization of frontier towns after law replaced physical conflict. It argues that a shift towards global cooperation and productivity, rather than destructive competition, would create new opportunities for investment. The piece also touches on the potential for massive, constructive projects like advanced infrastructure, suggesting that money-lenders can profit from peace as well as war.

It also notes that the threat of terrorism and destruction can hinder constructive endeavors, but that a stable society where all cultures have a stake can reduce the appeal of vengeance. The transition to a world governed by law is described as an evolutionary process, not a sudden disarmament, requiring faith and trust in the system and its agreements.

World Reaction to China: The Power of Co-Creative Action

This message discusses the international response to China's actions, suggesting that many companies and nations are already curtailing involvement due to China's treatment of its citizens. This is framed as a natural reaction of highly evolved individuals and groups who feel an obligation to protect the underdog. Cosmic Awareness posits that a World Court with enforcement power would amplify this effect, compelling nations to raise their standards of behavior. It encourages readers to spread this information to influential individuals to accelerate the development of a global democracy based on social responsibility and cooperation.

"The Wellness Formula"--Are These Pills Really As Good As We Think They Are?

This section features a question from a reader named Vikki about a product called "The Wellness Formula." Cosmic Awareness indicates that the formula, containing ingredients like propolis, echinacea, and cayenne, can be beneficial for general well-being, particularly in overcoming stress, fatigue, and cold symptoms. It is described as having a "shotgun effect" on minor illnesses and can be helpful even in advanced stages of colds and flu. The article also includes a personal testimonial from "ED's Note" (likely the editor), detailing positive experiences with the product for preventing and alleviating cold and flu symptoms. The newsletter announces that CAC intends to handle and promote "The Wellness Formula" to its members.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring theme throughout this issue is the promotion of a peaceful, cooperative global society governed by law and justice, rather than violence and war. Cosmic Awareness advocates for a shift in consciousness towards higher spiritual and social responsibility. The editorial stance is clearly in favor of this vision, actively encouraging readers to disseminate the information and support the development of a World Court and a more unified global community. The inclusion of the "Wellness Formula" review suggests an interest in practical, natural solutions for well-being alongside the broader spiritual and political messages.
