know to uplevel our consciousness to the Fourth Center both individually
and collectively。 To the extent that the world is populated by individuals who
generate their experience from the Fourth or higher Centers of Consciousness；
the beauty and perfection are reflected by the continuous enjoyment of the
Cornucopia that life is giving to us。
As you get on with your inner work on yourself； you develop a deep gut…level
confidence that the Cornucopia will happen automatically to the degree that
you are free from processing your thoughts through an addictive security；
sensation； and power consciousness。 You realize you don’t have to worry
any more about enough loving friends； enough food and shelter； enough
enjoyable things to do； enough sex； avoiding catastrophes that would ruin
your life； keeping people from pushing you around； etc。 Based on your
experience； you gradually develop the feeling that when you use the Twelve
Pathways as your guide in everyday life situations； you can totally rely on the
flowing harmony of the interactions of your energy and the energies outside
of you to continuously give you more than you need to be happy。 You realize
that you can just live your life in a gentle non…striving； flowing way。 You
realize that life is really set up to enable us to live happy； peaceful； fulfilling
lives and that it is only the automated dance of our security； sensation； and
power addictions that keeps us from experiencing that we have more than we
need to be happy。
By getting rid of our emotion…backed addictions； demands； and expectations
that make us reject what is； we discover that we can at all times enjoy the
many “strawberries” that life is offering us instead of dominating our
consciousness with the “tigers。” As we learn to totally surrender to what is；
we at last find more security； more delightful sensations； more powerful
effectiveness； and more love than we could ever need to be happy。 Then the
Cornucopia of life unfolds in the most marvelous way and we live
continuously in a warm； friendly； loving universe that we have created by our
higher consciousness。
And so； hand in hand； we journey down the river of our lives toward the vast
Ocean of Oneness that is our source and our destiny。 At last we have the
profound joy of knowing：
The purpose of our lives
is to be free of all addictive traps；
and thus bee One
with the Ocean of Living Love。
Appendix 1
The Living Love Theory of Happiness
1。 The Problem。 Most people are trapped in patterns of consciousness that
result in widespread unhappiness； alienation； fears； continuous conflict； etc。
Instead of realizing the “cornucopia” that life offers us； our programming
creates lives characterized by tension and a low level of enjoying life。 The
way we currently process； interpret； perceive； and act upon ining stimuli
is responsible for our inability to be happy one hundred percent of the time。
We are all beautiful beings but our lower consciousness security； sensation
and power programming causes us to make ourselves unhappy。
2。 Basic Principle。 Happiness varies inversely with one’s addictions。
Addictions are programmed expectations； demands； “absolute necessities；”
desires； or models of how the world should be that automatically trigger
negative emotions such as anger； fear； jealousy； anxiety； irritation； resentment；
grief； etc。 Every addiction makes one vulnerable to suffering。 When one
understands how the experience of happiness and unhappiness is generated； it
bees evident that all unhappiness is due to addictive models that
determine our perception and motivation。 Even physical pain does not
produce unhappiness unless one has an addiction for being free from pain。 It
is the addiction； not the pain； that generates suffering。
3。 The Predicament of Life。 The changing energy stream of life in which
we live satisfies some addictions and leaves others unsatisfied。 In other
words； we win some and we lose some。 Even when we win； we then
unwittingly create another addictive demand that must be lived out in a robotlike
fashion。 We usually attempt to change our win…lose odds by more
money； knowledge； prestige； or power。 These lines of endeavor never make
enough change in the “win…some； lose…some” pattern to produce a high level
enjoyment of life。 Our expectations and demands continue to dominate our
consciousness and create an unsatisfactory experience of life as long as we
have any addictive programming。
4。 A Dilemma。 Unsatisfied addictions dominate our consciousness； make us
unable to love unconditionally； keep our rational minds churning； lead our
consciousness into “futuring and pasting” instead of enjoying the here and
now； and make us trigger negative emotions in an attempt to manipulate the
people in the world around us。 the unfulfilled addictive demands produce the
experience of suffering and unhappiness。 The addictions we satisfy give us
only brief pleasure。 That which satisfied an addiction soon tends to form a
new addiction that our nervous system indiscrimately protects and enhances。
Regardless of whether or not we get what we want； we are still vulnearable to
fear； grief； or anger that can generate the experience of unhappiness。
5。 The Unworkable Solution。 Our ancestors； throughout eons of jungle life；
developed nervous systems that effectively guarded our species against
external dangers。 Over 99％ of the people in the world today are stuck with
nervous systems that usually operate by blaming the outside world for any
problems they experience。 We organize our perceptions and energies into
trying to make our lives work by programming that is ultra efficient at
paring the outside world with our inner addictive models thus
triggering emergency alarms of anger； fear； grief； frustration； or jealousy when
they do not correspond。 When we operate on lower consciousness levels； we
trigger emotions that generate forceful actions in an attempt to change the
outside world so that it corresponds with our security； sensation； and power
addictions。 The result is a roller…coasting between pleasure and pain （which
we try to ameliorate by increasing our skill at manipulation） meanwhile
maintaining a social veneer of politeness； diplomacy； and a shallow degree of
warmth and love。 Conscious people always have a choice of whether to try
to modify the actions of people around them or to change their responses to
the ining stimuli。
6。 The Way To Happiness。 The practical solution to the problem of
continuously enjoying our lives is to re…train our bioputers so that the first
response to a life situation is to harmonize our energies with the outside world
instead of trying to force the outside world to fit our inner patterns。
Unconditionally loving munication （which is not addicted to results） will
usually permit the adjustments to occur that we need for harmonizing our
energies。 Every addiction leaves us vulnerable； preferences enable us to
continually enjoy life。 when our bioputers operate from preferential
programming； our happiness is not affected regardless of whether the
outside world fits our preferences or not。 This permits us to enjoy the here
and now of our lives； to
