you cannot get into your emotions strongly and continuously； it may take
months or years to reprogram the addiction。
Cry as much as possible for crying helps you to reprogram faster。 Although
crying is not essential； it may be the easiest way to build up the intensity
needed for reprogramming rapidly。 As you cry； keep telling yourself； “I don’t
have to hassle myself with this。 I don’t need separating emotions。 I can be
free of this demand。 I don’t have to hold on。” The longer you cry and focus
your consciousness on eliminating the addiction； the more you will be able to
effectively eliminate the programming that makes you upset with that
particular situation in your life。
It is not necessary to cry in order to reprogram； but it speeds up the process。
Since much of your emotional programming was put into you through shock；
pain； crying； and suffering； remember that it helps to consciously build up
your present pain； crying； and suffering so that you can rapidly wipe out this
programming。
Don’t let any person or any of your thoughts cool you down。 Stop only when
you just can’t keep the emotion churning any longer。 It could be helpful to
have someone with you who quietly hears you； but says nothing。 Most
people when they are with someone who is crying will say； “Everything will
be all right。 Let’s dry your tears；” or they suggest some type of diversion。
But this stops you from using the Consciousness Focusing Method to burn
out the unconscious…level programming that is making you suffer。 If you start
doing things； you will be using your senses and rational mind to smother the
problem。 It will temporarily make you feel good but it will leave you in the
grip of your automatic programming when similar situations e up in the
future。 Anyone who is with you should understand what you are doing。 She
or he should simply experience your vibrations and silently encourage you to
cry。 Do everything possible to build up your emotional intensity。 For when
you build up the emotional intensity； you have a great opportunity to
reprogram an addiction so that you no longer get yourself emotionally upset
when certain things happen in the outside world。
Develop the confidence that you can absolutely be the master of
yourself。
Keep telling yourself that you programmed yourself many years ago and that
you can reprogram that which you programmed。 Remember that you did it all
to yourself。 You are not in the grip of forces beyond your control！ It’s all in
your mind。 Through the Method of Consciousness Focusing； you can be the
master of your mind。 You are a perfect being pure Conscious…awareness。
Your only problem is that you are caught in the grip of too many things that
you are telling yourself you must have to be happy。 You are laying too many
conditions on the outside world that it （and the people in it） cannot possibly
meet。 You are culture…bound。 You have programmed yourself with all these
addictions； demands； and expectations and you can reprogram yourself。
When you have reprogrammed your addictions； you are free for a lifetime。
All the happiness and the beauty of the world will then be yours。
It doesn’t matter if you feel that everything you have tried in life has failed。 It
doesn’t matter what particular hell you are in at this moment。 If you are
together enough to be reading a book on the Living Love Way to Higher
Consciousness； you can use the Method of Consciousness Focusing。 You
have everything you need to work on yourself and you can positively
reprogram yourself to eliminate all the hellish emotions that keep you from
enjoying your life continuously。
Your emotion…backed addictions will not disappear the first time you use the
Consciousness Focusing Method； but with each successive application of the
Method you will gradually change an addiction to a preference。 A plex
addiction （such as an addiction to sex） has many different addictive triggers
that will require separate sessions of Consciousness Focusing。 Be patient and
give yourself time to get results。 It is not helpful to say or think at a disturbed
moment； “This reprogramming is not working。” You could program your
reprogramming not to work！ Instead； say or think； “Slowly； but surely； I am
getting free of these emotional triggers。” You put these neural connections in
your head and with determination you can get them out。
The Living Love Way to Higher Consciousness thus offers you Five Methods
that are designed to enable all types of people to reprogram all kinds and
intensities of addictions。 If you wish to accelerate your journey into higher
consciousness； work hard to develop the maximum skill at using all of the
Five Methods。 You will then find that your bioputer will automatically
select the Method that is just perfect for each reprogramming problem。
At first you may be fascinated by understanding the workings of your
consciousness from the vantage point of the Twelve Pathways； the Seven
Centers； and the Five Methods。 You may then get into consciously using
these tools in a minute…to…minute fashion。 The purpose of these tools is to
enable you to tune in to the nowness of life free from the distortions caused
by addictions。 As they begin to work for you； your life will begin to smooth
out。
Learn to enjoy your life！ Just use the Methods when you are aware of some
expectations in your life that are not in harmony with what is here and now。
In other words； you use them for troubleshooting and the rest of the time
you are just right here enjoying doing your thing。 The main purpose of these
tools is to help you to stop doing these things that divide you from other
people and the world around you to accept and love one another and flow
in that space where there is just “us” right here right now。
Chapter 16
The Instant Consciousness Doubler
The Instant Consciousness Doubler can help you sidestep many of your
addictions。 Most of the time a major expansion of your consciousness
requires a lot of continuous inner work； but there is one shortcut through the
woods that may be called an Instant Consciousness Doubler。 Since
consciousness and love are synonymous； you might also consider this an
Instant Love Doubler。
Here are the directions for making a significant instant expansion of your
consciousness：
Expand your love； your consciousness； and your loving passion
by experiencing
everything that everyone does or says as though you had done or
said it。
When you use this Instant Consciousness Doubler； you will bring into play a
certain programming in your bioputer that you may not consciously use
now in responding to the actions and words of other people。 You are usually
aware of some of the inside reasons and feelings that account for what you
do。 But when you perceive similar behavior in another person； you usually
interpret it with different programming that you use for experiencing your
own thoughts and actions。
This leads us into such psychological conjugations as；
“I am firm； you are obstinate； he is pigheaded。”
“I am frank； you are blunt； he is rude。”
“I enjoy my food； you overeat； he is a glutton。”
“I occasionally correct people for their own good； you are quite
argumentative； he has a terrible temper。”
In all of the above situations the external actions could have been the same；
but the programming that you use to interpret the situation is entirely
different。
The purpose of the Instant Consciousness Doubler is to remind you to use the
same programming in perceiving and interpreting the actions and words of
other people that you use in understanding your own actions and words。 If
you simply delay your response to each situation long enough to run it
through the programming you reserve for yourself； you may find that your
ability to understand and love other people will instantly double。 You may be
able to simply bypass the old programming and let it gradually wither away
from disuse。 You begin to realize that you would probably feel and say the
same things that other people are doing and saying if you could just stand in
their shoes and see things from their point of view。
To use the Instant Consciousness Doubler； you consciously feed the situation
in through the programming that you use when crystallizing your perception
of your own feelings and actions。 In many situations this can instantly double
your perceptiveness and wisdom in responding acceptingly and lovingly to
everyone around you。 Almost every time you feel irritated or angry； you are
simply alienating yourself from another person who is probably doing exactly
the same thing that you’ve done thousands of times and which you may
have accepted fully in yourself。
Suppose； for example； you ask someone to do something for you and he
replies in an irritated way； “Why don’t you do it yourself？” When these
words e in through your auditory nerves and are fed into the interpretive
sections of your bioputer； you are very likely to experience a threat to
your Power Center。 This is the point at which you use the Instant
Consciousness Doubler。 You can say to yourself； “There have been many
times when I’ve been annoyed when someone asked me to do something。
Perhaps I was busy。 Perhaps I felt that they could do it easier and better than
I； and they should not be asking me in the first place。 Or perhaps I was tired。
Perhaps my addictions were at that moment keeping me from loving them
enough to want to be helpful。 I can furnish myself with dozens of reasons for
not wanting to help people when I’m asked to。”
When you use the Instant Consciousness Doubler； you give other people the
benefit of all the inside understanding that you use to forgive yourself when
you respond in an alienating way。 And so instead of being angry when
someone refuses to help； you use the Instant Consciousness Doubler to
perceive it in a broader perspective that lets you accept it and love the person。
This helps to free you from the dualistic programming that is used for
perceiving the actions of “other” people。
The Instant Consciousness Doubler helps us realize that there are no “others”
in this world。 All of us have shared the same feelings； the same problems of
being dominated by our security
