THE TWO WISDOM PRINCIPLES

THE FIRST WISDOM PRINCIPLE ADDICTIVE DEMANDS TRIGGER SEPARATING EMOTIONS THAT CREATE YOUR UNHAPPINESS. PREFERENCES NEVER DO.

Use the following form to pinpoint your addiction; I create the experience of ___(separating emotion)___ because my programming demands that___(formulate precisely what you want)__. A preference is a desire that does not trigger any separating feelings or tensions in your mind or body whether or not your desire is satisfied. FIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF A PREFERENCE; 1. You can still want what you want. 2. You can still try to make changes. 3. You can still think your "right". 4. You can more skillfully achive your positive intention. 5. You just dont have to feel upset or unhappy !

THE SECOND WISDOM PRINCIPLE BEHIND ALL OUR THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, AND ACTIONS, WE ALWAYS HAVE BENEFICIAL POSITVE INTENTIONS (THOUGH WE MAY SOMETIMES USE UNSKILLFUL WAYS TO ACHIEVE THEM). 1. Make your positve intention benefical and say what you want, not what you don't want. 2. Make it identify a desired internal state. FORMULATING POSITIVE INTENTIONS (use this form) My positive intention is to see myself as, OR to hear inside that, OR to feel; ______(deisred internal experience)____ INSTANT CONSCIOUSNESS DOUBLER { Expand your love, your consciousness, and your loving compassion by experiencing everything that everone does or says as though you had done or said it.} When you feel separate from yourself or another person: 1. Tune-in to everyone's positive intention. 2. Remember that it's only one person's programming that doesn't like another person's programming.

LIVING LOVE SAYINGS

The Law of Higher Consciousness: Love Everyone Unconditionally -- Including Yourself. "Loving more, demanding less" "The past is dead, the future is imaginary, happiness can only be in the Eternal Now Moment." "Happiness happens when your consciousness is not dominated by addictions and demands~~and you experience life as a Parade of Preferences." "A loving person lives in a loving world~~A hostile person lives in a hostile world ~~Everyone you meet is your mirror." "You make yourself and others suffer just as much when you take offense as when you give offense." "To be upset over what you don't have..... is to waste what you do have." "How soon will you realize that the only thing you don't have is the direct experience that there is nothing you need that you don't have." "The Methods work~~If you do" "The purpose of our lives is to be free of all addictive traps~and thus become One with the Ocean of Living Love." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Three Prescriptions for Happiness are; 1) Ask for what you want ~ but don't demand it. 2) Accept whatever happens ~ for now. 3) Turn up your love ~ even if you don't get what you want.
