power； love； and Cornucopia one is security； sensations； power； love； and
the fullness of life。 The highest state of consciousness is attained by
reprogramming what is called the “self。” One’s thought activity is calmed。
The direction of perception has shifted from subject…object manipulation；
through a phase of loving acceptance； to a unity with everything in the
environment。
To understand this distinction between experiencing something and being
something； consider what happens when you have an intense sexual climax。
Up until the time of orgasm； you have been experiencing the sexual
sensations such as increasing warmth； pressure； and stimulation of your
sexual organs。 You are experiencing sex。 But at the moment of sexual climax
you are no longer the experiencer。 You may no longer be conscious of
yourself enjoying sexual happenings。 During the moments of an intense
orgasm； you are the experience。 At that moment you may feel a total oneness
with your sexual partner for there is no longer the experience of you as a
separate consciousness。
At the Cosmic Consciousness level； one can function with enormous
effectiveness because the screens that limit one’s receptiveness have been
eliminated。 One is now tuned to the finer nuances of the surrounding world。
One is open to the broad spectrum of all of the finer cues that the world has
been sending all the time but which were previously not picked up by a
consciousness occupied by security； sensation； and power on the lower levels；
and love； Cornucopia； and witnessing on the intermediate levels。
And now at the end of one’s journey to higher consciousness； one has
bee a god…like being。 One has truly achieved one’s birthright。 As a fully
conscious being； one is optimally perceptive； optimally wise； and optimally
effective。 Because one has transcended all personal boundaries； and
experiences no separation from anyone or anything in the world； serving
“others” is the only thing to do in life。 For there are no “others。” Everything
is experienced from an “us” space。
Perhaps a word of advice may be helpful here。 The Seventh Center is
extremely difficult to attain。 Out of the four billion people in this world； there
may only be about a hundred people who are consistently in that Center。
Achieving it usually requires a detached life style and a long period of intense
consciousness growth practice。 Even preferences must be eliminated to reach
this Center。 The author of this book generates his experience of life using the
Fourth； Fifth； and Sixth Centers and enjoys life continuously。 This does not
mean he is a hundred per cent free of addictions； but he often goes many
weeks without any separating emotional feelings。
When you have eliminated about ninety…nine percent of your addictive
programming； the remaining amount will probably be very subtle and will not
interfere with happiness。 When you have done the inner work required to get
to this level of effectiveness； you know exactly which Pathway or Method to
use whenever you experience the beginning of an addictive sequence。 Within
seconds or minutes you work through whatever security； sensation； or power
addiction you are triggering and then you are right back at the Love or
Cornucopia Center again。 These Centers are totally adequate to enable you
to live a happy； fulfilled； wise； effective； and enjoyable life。 It is worthwhile
knowing about the Cosmic Consciousness Center； but do not let it bee
another addiction。 If you work hard to use the Fourth； Fifth； or Sixth Centers
of Consciousness in processing and interpreting your own energies and the
energies of the world around you； you will experience a deep peace and
enjoyment within your heart that is wholly enough。

Five Methods For Working On Yourself
The Living Love Way to Higher Consciousness offers you Five Methods that
you can use in working on yourself。 These Methods have been chosen for
busy people who are deeply involved in various dramas of life。 They do not
detach you from your daily routines。 The Living Love Methods can be used
while you are engaged in running a business； making love； cleaning the house；
or watching a movie。 These Methods take you into your life situations and
require you to view the people and things around you as your teachers。 But
you are really your master teacher all the time。
When you use these Five Methods continuously in your moment…to…moment
daily life； you will find a turned…on satisfaction in your daily stream of
consciousness。 You will experience a liberation that you have always wanted；
but have not been able to find in life before。 You will find true freedom from
the puter…like programming that separates and alienates you from the
loving being you naturally are。
Here are the Five Methods：
METHOD NO。 1
Memorize the Twelve Pathways and use them to guide you through your
daily life situations。
When you learn to use them； you will find that the Twelve Pathways furnish
you with the plete solution to every emotional problem in your life。 But
to benefit maximally from them； you must intuitively use them on the deepest
levels of awareness。 Once you have them memorized； say them before
getting up in the morning and before going to sleep at night。 This may
increase your probability of realizing the Fourth Center of Consciousness in a
year or two instead of many years or even decades。
Whenever you feel worried； angry； jealous； fearful； anxious； or any other
unfortable emotional feeling； life is giving you a message。 It is always
telling you that you are not following the Twelve Pathways。 Your next step is
to find the ones that you are not using and let them show you what to do to
feel beautiful again。
Stop churning over the usual questions that you ask yourself （which have not
helped you find solutions）。 If these usual ways of talking to yourself were
effective； you would be happy； peaceful； serene； and loving here and now。
Instead of using your past way of talking to yourself； just keep going over the
Twelve Pathways。 Remember that their purpose is to keep you centered；
tuned in； conscious； and loving。 They are not designed to help you
manipulate the people and things around you to make them fit your inside
addictions。 The Twelve Pathways will help you reprogram your mind so that
ALL of your addictions bee preferences and then you can live
peacefully。 The more you are uptight； the more important it is for you to stop
worrying about the outside condition that you feel “makes you upset。”
Instead； concentrate on the inner addictions or expectations with which you
hassle yourself。
The Twelve Pathways will show you what it means to be truly alive。 You will
look back to your present state of consciousness and realize that you have
been far more dead than alive。 Everything you need will e to you in a
seemingly miraculous fashion as you live with these Pathways。 The peace；
love； and effectiveness that you have always wanted will be yours。
METHOD NO。 2
Be aware at all times of which Center of Consciousness you are
experiencing。
You will discover that working on your consciousness is the most fulfilling
thing you can do in your life。 Whether you are driving a car； reading a book；
or even caught in an addictive argument with someone； you can always add to
the beauty of your outside drama if you are constantly aware of what Center
of Consciousness you are using。
Everything you do has aspects on all levels of consciousness。 We can enjoy
life on all levels and not just be hung up on the lower three Centers。 For
example； if you are making love； you can be aware of security aspects （the
Security Center）； or you can just enjoy the groovy feelings （the Sensation
Center）； or you can be conscious of the submission or control aspects （the
Power Center）。 You can be aware of love…making as an act of pure
acceptance of another and an experience of unconditional love （the Love
Center）。 The act of love…making is another manifestation of the way the
world offers you everything you need （the Cornucopia Center）。 Or you can
watch the entire drama from your Center of Centers （the Consciousawareness
Center）。
As you constantly uplevel the Center of Consciousness that you are
experiencing； you will find that each time you go up one Center of
Consciousness； you interact with more and more people。 You will also
liberate more and more energy。 For example； if you are totally preoccupied
with security； you will not have much energy for seeking sensations and
power。 And you cannot feel close to people when your consciousness is
concerned solely with your security。 On this level people are objects to be
manipulated。 You find increasing involvement with people and increasing
energy as you uplevel to the Sensation Center； the Power Center； and then to
the Love Center and the Cornucopia Center。 Each Center generates more
energy and lets you relate to more people than the previous Center。 Each
Center Opens the door to an increased enrichment of your life。
Your awareness of which Center of Consciousness you are experiencing and
your use of the Twelve Pathways to continually guide you are the Living Love
Way to meditate。 And you do this all the time in your busy life so that your
entire life bees meditation。 In the Living Love Way； meditation is not a
holy ritual to be performed once or twice a day。 It is a method for
consistently seeing things clearly and consciously here and now。
METHOD NO。 3
Bee more consciously conscious of the cause…effect relationship
between your addictions and the resulting unhappiness。
To tune in to the enormous effectiveness of the Living Love Way； it is
essential that you bee increasingly conscious of each of your addictions
and the way it generates a series of events that make you suffer。 It is
important that you notice how each addiction involves your ego and your
rational mind which； instead of letting go of the addiction； begins to churn
out a “rational” solution which triggers another round of problems in your
life。
Changes leading to happiness e most rapidly when you can fully engage
both your ego and rational mind （two of your most powerful faculties） in the
game of helping you eliminate each addiction。 Many
