You can stop being a mechanical； puter…like person who views himself as
“pushed around” by the world when you realize that only you can “push”
yourself。 You begin to see the connection between your emotional
programming and your suffering。 You start doing something about it which
means reprogramming yourself。
Your mind creates your universe。 Your expectations； demands； hopes； fears；
addictions； motivations； past experience； your language system； your
individual accumulation of ideas； theories； and intellectual stuff； your
emotions； the structure and functioning of your nervous system and the
feedback from your entire body all interact in a plex way to produce your
perceptions the “picture” you create from the energies you receive through
your various senses from people and things around you。 Your perceptions are
thus a joint phenomenon of the observer and the observed。
You receive a feedback from the people and things around you that
continually modifies your processing of ining sensory data。 For example；
a loving person lives in a loving world。 As loving individuals flow through
their moment…to…moment lives； their gentle； accepting consciousness is
mirrored by the people around them。 As the Proverbs remind us； “A soft
answer turneth away wrath。”
Similarly； a hostile person lives in a hostile world。 If you go about with
rockness inside you； if you view others as petitive to you； if you have a
thin surface politeness with instant anger； ridicule； and antagonism when
things don’t go your way； you will create people around you that have exactly
those characteristics。 In other words； your actions create the reactions of
people around you except when you are with people living in the Fourth （or
higher） Center of Consciousness。 Conscious beings remain loving and
centered no matter how tense the drama around them。
The world thus tends to be your mirror。 A peaceful person lives in a peaceful
world。 An angry person creates an angry world。 A helpful person generates
helpful； loving energy in others。 An unfriendly person should not be surprised
when he or she meets only people who sooner or later respond in an
unfriendly way。 A happy person finds the world filled with happy people
for even unhappy people experience temporary happiness and joy when they
are with a genuinely happy and joyous person！
Sometimes people mirror you but with a reverse image。 When you are
addicted to one side of a polarity； you can create the opposite polarity around
you。 For example； if you are pulsively and addictively neat and orderly；
others around you will tend to be more sloppy than usual。 If； on the other
hand； you are addictively sloppy； you can create neatness responses around
you。 The polarity of your programming may evoke an opposite ego response
in the people with whom you interact。
As you grow in consciousness； you begin to realize the hundreds of ways in
which you create the consciousness of everyone around you。 And； of course；
they reciprocally play a part in determining the contents of your moment…tomoment
consciousness。 This feedback of consciousness offers exquisite
cosmic humor when you clearly see what is really happening 。 。 。
As you understand your polarities and free yourself； you begin to tune in to
everyone in their deeper levels of being where we are alike and experience
oneness together。 When you free yourself of your addictions； you help to free
others of their addictions。
Your predictions and expectations are thus self…fulfilling。 Since your
consciousness creates your universe； all you have to do to change your world
is to change your consciousness！ It’s the only way to live in a beautiful；
joyous world。 As you learn to use the Twelve Pathways to bee a more
loving； conscious being； you will find yourself living in an Ocean of loving；
conscious beings。 Without trying to change others； you will be acting in a
way that is maximally effective in helping others bee more loving and
conscious。
SIXTH PATHWAY
I accept myself pletely here and now and consciously experience
everything I feel； think； say； and do （including my emotion…backed
addictions） as a necessary part of my growth into higher consciousness。
The Living Love Way to Higher Consciousness is based on the instant
emotional acceptance here and now of that which you previously regarded as
unacceptable in your life。 Acceptance simply means that you won’t cause
yourself emotional conflict because of your current perceptions。 Emotional
acceptance doesn’t mean that you have to continue living the rest of your life
with any particular person or situation。 You are free to do anything you prefer
to do but don’t be addicted to the results of your actions。 If someone does
something that “hurts your ego；” you will grow fastest if you consciously
regard him or her as your teacher who is enabling you to discover which
addictions you will have to reprogram。
You really savor living when you consciously experience everything that you
feel and do as taking place in the theater that we call our world。 You see
yourself and others as actors in the daily drama of life。 But the real you is not
your body or mind。 You’re not the actor。 The real you is your Consciousawareness。
And your Conscious…awareness is just digging the whole show
from the audience。 Shakespeare wrote；
All the world’s a stage；
And all the men and women； merely players；
They have their exits and their entrances；
And one man in his time plays many parts。
When you watch the entire drama of your life and that of other people from
the safe vantage point of the audience； you begin to provide a distance that
enables you to see your addictions more clearly。 You will find it easier to
pletely accept the addictive dramas that you have to play out on the stage
of your life。 You will find a turned…on joy in consciously experiencing
everything as a necessary part of your growth into higher consciousness。
To grow in the Living Love Way； you do not have to drill yourself and
criticize yourself with military precision。 Just experience everything in an
accepting； relaxed； and conscious way and realize that every one of your
experiences is perfect for your here and now growth into higher
consciousness。 Your addictions will gradually fade away when you use the
Living Love Pathways to consciously interpret your moment…to…moment
stream of consciousness。 Don’t push the river just experience the river
consciously from the vantage point of the Twelve Pathways。

Interacting With Others
Flowing not manipulation is the way of higher consciousness。 Flowing
means moving with the forces around us being in tune with the vibrations
of the people and things in our environment。 Flowing enables us to find the
love； beauty； and peace that we are missing in our lives。 But flowing is
impossible based on the models of how to be happy that we learned in our
childhood； for we cannot flow or harmonize when we are the slaves of our
addictions。 Our addictions force us to manipulate ourselves and others。 As
adults whose minds and bodies have pleted their structural growth； we
have the potential of flowing in the river of our lives in a beauti
