THE FIVE METHODS FOR WORKING ON YOUR SELF

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 the 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, makng 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. 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 the Twelve Pathways furnish you with the compete solution to every emotional problem on 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. When you feel worried, angry, jealous, fearful,anxious, or any other uncomfortable 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. 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 your addictions become preferences - and then you can live peacefully.

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 thng you can do with 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 the Center of consciousness you are using. Everything you do has aspects on all levels consciousness. We can enjoy life on all levels -- and not just be hung up the lower three Centers. 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. 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 entire life becomes a meditaton. In the Living Love Way, meditation is not a ritual to be performed once or twice a day (although it is not opposed to sitting meditation or any spiritual practice you may be engaged in.) It is a method for consistently seeing things clearly and consciously -- here and now.

METHOD NO. 3 LINK THE SUFFERING WITH THE ADDICTION TO GET THE INTELLECTUAL AND EMOTIONAL INSIGHT THAT IT IS YOUR ADDICTIVE DEMAND THAT IS CAUSING YOUR SUFFERING. To tune into the enormous effectiveness of the Living Love Way, it is essential that you become increasingly conscious of each of your addictions and the way it generates a series of events that make you suffer. The key to the Third Method is to consciously connect all 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 it's importance. Resolve now that you will not 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 responsibilty 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. 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 you self. It's that simple. Just become more consciously conscious of the cause-effect relationship between your addictions and the resulting unhappiness, and you will be on the escalater that can take you directly to the Fourth Center of Consciousness.

METHOD NO. 4 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 repetitation helps you 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. Onesness 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 negitive thoughts and feelings and replace them with the vibrations of Living Love. This enables you to control your racing mind-stuff whenever you wish.
