sensation； and power motivations。 You are trying to hold onto something you
do have； get something you don’t have； or avoid something you don’t want。
You discover how your rational mind has bee a pawn manded by
your ego to “rationalize” your security； sensation； and power demands and
expectations。 You begin to see that many of the “clever” things your rational
mind devises to say to other people just turn out to be separating and
alienating responses that keep you out of the “us” space。
As you lessen the heavy load of addictions you have been carrying； your
rational mind bees quieter and quieter； and you begin to increase your
insight and perceptiveness。 You begin to have a choice that was not available
before regarding the things that you say and do。 You begin to tune in to the
finer energies around you when the precious space on the screen of your
consciousness is not occupied by the emergency alarms triggered by your
addictive security； sensation； and power models of how the world should be。
The Living Love Way enables you to live in this powerful realm of higher
consciousness by setting you free from your addictions； goals； and
expectations that you have unknowingly programmed as essential to your
happiness。 For the structure and function of your bioputer are such that
this addictive programming triggers your thoughts； ideas； and words in a
persistent and dominating way。
The cultivation of preferences （in place of addictions） does not keep your
rational mind churning and scanning for preferences are not sought after
goals that keep you restless。 With preferences； you simply flow along in the
nowness of your daily life。 Whenever the here and now offers you a choice；
you pick the one that most fits in with your preferences。 But either way
everything feels all right。 Your rational mind is not excited into restless；
striving activity。 Preferences let you stay in touch with the here and now in
your life。 They enable your mind to bee calmer and calmer until it
functions as a powerful； quiet； one…pointed； peaceful； effective servant to your
consciousness。
Thus the Living Love System enables you to transcend tensions； anxiety； and
conflict into a flowing acceptance of all of life。 Your escape from lower
consciousness levels helps to free you from the restless scanning of your
rational mind so that you are constantly in touch with that deep； calm place
inside of you from which you peacefully； lovingly； and blissfully watch the
drama of your life。
ELEVENTH PATHWAY
I am constantly aware of which of the Seven Centers of Consciousness I
am using； and I feel my energy； perceptiveness； love； and inner peace
growing as I open all of the Centers of Consciousness。
The Seven Centers of Consciousness （explained later in this book） consist of
a seven…step scale that can tell you each moment of your life exactly where
you are in your journey toward higher consciousness。 By using the sevenstep
consciousness scale； you clarify your minute…to…minute drama and add
realism and depth to your life。 You discover that your energy； love； insight；
and inner peace will fluctuate up and down when your consciousness is
involved in the lower three Centers。 As you learn to uplevel your
consciousness； you unlock enormous energy。 You enjoy being able to
unconditionally love and accept everyone。 By letting yourself grow toward
the higher Centers of Consciousness； you find the beautiful inner peace that
you have always sought in your life。
In Living Love we work to integrate all of the Centers。 Everything in your
life has aspects on all of the Centers。 You begin your growth toward higher
consciousness when you first escape from being preoccupied with the lower
three Centers of Security； Sensation； and Power and uplevel your
consciousness to include the unconditional Love Center and Cornucopia
Center。 Then you begin to watch your drama from the Conscious…awareness
Center。 By seeing your drama from this meta…center you impartially witness
all your thoughts and actions on the five lower Centers。 In the next phase of
consciousness growth； one goes behind this Conscious…awareness Center into
the Seventh Center Cosmic Consciousness that peaceful place where one
has eliminated personal boundaries and has unitively merged with the
surrounding world。
TWELFTH PATHWAY
I am perceiving everyone； including myself； as an awakening being who
is here to claim his or her birthright to the higher consciousness planes of
unconditional love and oneness。
Everyone you meet； including yourself； has the capacity for clear perception；
wisdom； effectiveness； peace； and love。 We are equal beings。 But unless one
has consciously worked toward higher consciousness； this hidden splendor
within may be smothered by the addictive games that keep one separated and
isolated。 It will help us in our journey to higher consciousness （as well as
being most helpful to others） if we regard everyone； including ourselves； as
fellow travellers on the road to awakening。
We begin to realize that everything we do is either a skillful or unskillful
attempt to find love and oneness。 Even if someone yells at you or hits you； he
is trying to manipulate you so that you can fit the pattern of his addictions
and thus permit him to love you in his conditional way。 When your ego
permits you to see the here…and…now actions of people with perspective； you
realize that there is practically nothing that anyone can do that you have not
either done or wanted to do at some time in your life。 We’re just not that
different from each other。 Our egos and our rational minds keep us
continually judging other people so as to put them in the wrong and thus give
us a supposed advantage。 A conscious being simply sees； with a passion
that is born of insight and perspective； that everyone is on the road to
awakening。 We learn to love others by accepting and loving ourselves and
vice versa。
You realize that in place of the judgmental terms （such as good and bad） that
we use to separate ourselves in our consciousness from each other； the
simplest and most helpful ethical standard is to see things as degrees of
separateness and oneness。 You view the thoughts and actions that separate
you on the lower part of the ethical scale。 The thoughts and actions which
unite you are on the upper part of the scale。 Instead of labeling things “good”
or “bad；” you simply use your insight to determine to what extent your
thoughts or actions separate or unite you in your feelings toward others。 That
which makes you feel separate tends to keep your life from working
effectively； and that which enables YOU to experience love and unity permits
you to harmonize your energy with the energies of the world around you。
Whenever you are in doubt about whether to do something or not； just ask
yourself whether it makes you feel more separate from people or more loving
toward people。
When you see how it all is when you see everything that happens in your
life as a moment…to…moment acting out of the great drama of your addictions
you will realize how you constantly smother the potential that you have
within you。 Higher consciousness means that you expe
