both your ego and rational mind （two of your most powerful faculties） in the
game of helping you eliminate each addiction。 Many addictions will rapidly
melt away as soon as you consciously experience that the suffering they cause
is actually due to the addiction。 Some of the deeper addictions that were
programmed into your bioputer with pain during the first two or three
years of your life require more inner work and more “living through” to fully
experience the extensive ramifications of the pattern of suffering they are
bringing into your life。 The key to the Third Method is to consciously
connect all of the suffering in your life with the addictive； emotion…backed
models and expectations that you keep telling yourself you must have to be
happy。
This Method is so basic and fundamental that it is difficult to overstate its
importance。 If you are extremely upset and you don’t remember the
Pathways； the Seven Centers of Consciousness； or any other Method； this
Third Method （that calls for pinpointing the addiction and connecting it with
the unhappiness and suffering in your life） should be able to help you bee
conscious again！ Resolve now that you will never again let your ego and
rational mind try to convince you that the outside world is doing it to you
that others are the cause of your suffering。 Whenever you lay the
responsibility for your emotional feelings on the people and things around
you； you perpetuate your entrapment in your security； sensation； and power
programming。 To break loose from these lower consciousness traps； you
must always take full responsibility for what you are experiencing and get to
work as quickly as possible on the addiction that causes you to reject
emotionally what people are doing or saying。
By taking full responsibility； you give your ego and rational mind an entirely
different direction in which to operate。 They begin to work on helping you to
reprogram instead of egging you on to manipulate and fight the people in your
life。 This changed direction of regard from the outside world to your own
inner programming is the key to benefiting from this unusually rapid Method
of consciousness growth。 If you bee an expert at pinpointing the
addiction that you are using to trigger your fear； anger； grief； resentment； or
jealousy； within several months you may be able to enjoy the Fourth Center of
Consciousness much of the time。 Your energy； perceptiveness； and love will
soar to create a new “you。”
At the Living Love Center； we have a printed card that we use in our Pathway
Circle exercises。 This card outlines the shortcut procedure for liberating
yourself from your addictions。 It reads：

To bee petent in applying the Third Method； you should develop your
own technique for being aware of which addiction is causing you to feel
alienated from the here and now in your life。 You may wish to ask yourself
such questions as： “What is happening right now？” （In answering this do not
use your rational mind or your ego to justify； intellectualize； or interpret。 Just
give the facts of what is happening； such as who； what； when； where； and
how。） “What specific emotion am I experiencing？” （In answering this tell
what you feel not what you think。 Words that describe emotional feelings
are： anxious； harried； bored； lonely shy； irritable； annoyed； frustrated；
confused； sad； depressed； disappointed； worried； afraid； resentful； hostile；
angry； jealous； grief…filled； guilty； tense； nervous； embarrassed； etc。） “What
am I telling myself right now？” “What pains or tensions are being evoked in
my body at this moment？” “What do my posture and face look like？” “What
is the dance that my rational mind is doing to prove me right and everybody
else wrong？” “What do I want to change in the outside world instead of
doing the inner work of changing my own response to it？” “What sort of
phony front is my ego trying to maintain？” “What past events were
particularly painful so as to give my bioputer this programming that
makes me upset when a similar event happens？” “Have I suffered enough？”
“Do I really want to be free from this automatic response whenever the here
and now of my life checks me out？” “Exactly what am I rejecting in the here
and now？” “What am I rejecting about myself？” “What threat does this
person or situation represent to me？” “What is the worst that could happen？”
“Could I accept this and still be happy？” “What am I defending？” “What am
I hiding？” “What is it about me that I think people can’t love？” “What do I
imagine the other person is thinking？” “What mask am I wearing？” “What
dances are my pride and my prestige making me perform？” “What am I
demanding in order to feel happy and enough？ Of myself？ Of others？ Of the
outside world？” “What is the model I have of the way I should be； must be；
or have to be？” “What is the model of the way I should be treated？” “What
are the specific details of the model that I have of the way the world should
be in order for me to be accepting； loving； and flowing？” “What Center of
Consciousness am I operating out of？” “If a magic genie were to appear at
this moment； and this genie had the power to alter the situation exactly as I
instruct； what request would I make of this genie？”
Once you have pinpointed the addiction； your next step is to reprogram it into
a preference。 When you reprogram； you use your will and determination to
give clear； firm operating instructions to your bioputer。 You tell it that
you want it to function in a different way in processing ining data in the
future。 This means that with intensity and conviction； you put a new
operating instruction into your mind。 Reprogramming works most effectively
if you repeat the reprogramming instruction many； many； many times。 The
next chapter； which deals with Consciousness focusing； gives you additional
information on how to give a “knock…out punch” to your heavier addictions。
Always remember that the key to using the Third Method is to look deeply
within yourself to find the emotion…backed demand that you are using to upset
yourself。 It’s this simple。 Just bee more consciously conscious of the
cause…effect relationship between your addictions and the resulting
unhappiness； and you will be on the escalator that can take you directly to the
Fourth Center of Consciousness。

Use the Catalyst ALL WAYS US LIVING LOVE as a tool for cognitive
centering。
Your growth into higher consciousness can be more rapid if you keep a
Catalyst going in your mind as a foreground figure against which all of your
sensations； feelings； and thoughts are the background。 This constant
repetition helps you to calm your mind； to increase your powers of
concentration； to broaden your perceptions； to permit your intuitive wisdom
to emerge； to free you from your addictions； and to keep you feeling great。
The catalyst ALL WAYS US LIVING LOVE can be slowly and silently
repeated to enable you to continuously tune in to that part of you that does
not see others as him； her； or them but always us。 Oneness is yours when
you feel everyone as only us when you see things through the eyes of
others and feel things within their psychic space as though it were your own。
After you have accumulated several hours of experience with the Catalyst；
you will probably feel its vibrations and implications on deeper and deeper
levels。 Since only one thing can receive your full attention at a time； this
centering technique can crowd out negative thoughts and feelings and replace
them with the vibrations of Living Love。 This enables you to control your
racing mind…stuff whenever you wish。
A repeated phrase constantly recaptures your attention。 The Catalyst ALL
WAYS US LIVING LOVE may be used to change your mood in a positive
way。 When you are disturbed or have an upsetting experience； you can repeat
this phrase over and over until you feel calm and centered。 Through
consistent practice； it will develop increasingly greater effectiveness。
This tool for cognitive centering can be most effective if you：
1。 Consecutively emphasize each of the words as follows： “ALL Ways Us
Living Love；” “All WAYS Us Living Love；” “All Ways US Living
Love；” etc。
2。 If you say it aloud； open up your mouth and throat when you say the word
“ALL。” Feel it resonate in your heart。 Let the whole world flow into your
openness。 If you say it silently； feel this openness。
3。 Say or sing each word lovingly and caressingly。 Singing is usually more
effective in calming the mind than just speaking； for it leaves little or no
space on the screen of your consciousness for random thoughts。
4。 Almost from the first time you use it； the Catalyst may be so effective at
bringing peace and quietness to your mind that it may be best not to drive
your car or operate dangerous machinery until you have gained experience
in using it。 With experience you will be able to “adjust” your use of it so
that you will have the energy and perceptiveness for here…and…now
activities without being inattentive。
5。 One who is seriously working on consciousness growth may wish to use
the Catalyst for thirty minutes a day for at least one month in order to
bee proficient in its use。 It then bees an effective consciousness
tool that is available when needed。 At times of great stress； one may find
it useful to use it over and over continuously throughout the day。
To increase your perceptiveness of people； you may wish to use the Catalyst
as you look into their faces。 This helps you get behind your games and their
games to the place where we are just loving beings。 You may wish to avoid
eye…to…eye contact as this can involve ego （“I can look at you more
penetratingly than you can look at me”）。 Instead find a small patch of light at
the bridge of the nose between the eyes that is created by most lighting
conditions。 With your eyes fixed on this spot； experience the many changes
in the face that are perceived as you run the Catalyst。
