order　to　uplevel　your　consciousness。　the　Method　of　Consciousness　Focusing
cannot　be　used　when　you　are　peaceful；　serene；　and　loving。　It　can　only　be
used　effectively　at　those　moments　when　your　existing　emotional　programming
is　creating　in　you　feelings　of　duality　and　separateness　and　destroying　your
capacity　to　love。
Whatever　you　tell　yourself　at　this　time　is　absolutely　crucial。　So　be
sure　to
blame　all　of　your　uptightness　on　your　addictive　programming。
You　must　change　the　way　you　talk　to　yourself　about　your　life　situations　so
that　you　no　longer　imply　that　anything　outside　of　you　is　the　immediate　cause
of　your　unhappiness。　Instead　of　saying；　“Joe　makes　me　mad；”　say；　“I　make
myself　mad　when　I’m　around　Joe。”　Instead　of　saying；　“Mary　irritates　me
when　she　is　late；”　say；　“By　not　showing　up　on　time；　Mary　continually
reminds　me　that　I’m　addicted　to　punctuality。”　This　enables　you　to　use　the
Method　of　Consciousness　Focusing　to　gradually　get　rid　of　that　part　of　your
programming　that　makes　you　uptight　when　something　does　not　conform　to
your　expectations。
It　is　important　to　be　very　specific　and　accurate　when　you　use　Consciousness
Focusing　to　reprogram　your　unconscious　levels。　Whatever　you　tell　yourself
when　you　are　emotionally　upset　will　play　a　part　in　the　programming　that　you
will　have　to　live　with　in　the　future。　If　you　make　the　conventional　mistake　of
blaming　the　outside　world；　you　will　simply　strengthen　your　addictions。　If　you
say　things　that　separate　you　from　the　outside　world　such　as　“Men　are
terrible；”　“Women　are　awful；”　you　will　be　programming　yourself　in　a　way
that　will　alienate　you　rather　than　unite　you　with　the　world。　If　you　keep
talking　to　yourself　like　that；　you　may　develop　a　cancerous　cynicism　　and
that　certainly　is　not　working　toward　love　and　oneness。　The　world　is　what　it　is
　why　make　yourself　upset　about　it？　Instead　of　saying；　“The　cities　are
horrible；”　tell　yourself；　“I　must　release　myself　from　that　part　of　my
emotional　programming　that　makes　me　upset　when　I　experience　certain　things
in　cities。”　In　other　words；　you　must　stop　telling　yourself　that　the　reason　for
your　uptightness　and　unhappiness　is　“out　there”　　when　the　truth　of　the
matter　is　that　it　is　simply　your　inside　programming　that　continually　keeps　you
uptight。　When　you　have　reprogrammed　the　addiction；　then　you　can　choose　to
put　your　energy　into　changing　things　in　the　most　effective　way　　and　stop
putting　energy　into　things　which　you　cannot　change。
What　you　feelingly　tell　yourself　at　this　crucial　time　when　you　are　emotionally
upset　is　vital　in　programming。　You　could　program　yourself　to　hate　everyone
by　repeatedly　telling　yourself　when　you　are　upset；　“Everyone　is　out　to　get
me。”　You　can　program　this　in　your　mind　so　tightly　that　it　will　alter　your
perception　of　everyone　you　see。　If　you　want　to　love　people；　you　can　use　this
opportunity　to　put　in　“love　programming。”　Just　tell　yourself；　“I’m　tired　of
being　outside　of　it　all。　I　want　to　learn　to　love　everyone　　no　more　duality　and
separateness　for　me。　I’ve　got　to　learn　how　to　love　unconditionally　　without
demands。”
When　people　are　emotionally　upset　and　they　continually　tell　themselves
alienating　things；　they　program　themselves　directly　into　neurosis　or　psychosis。
When　you　are　emotionally　upset　and　use　this　opportunity　to　program　yourself
with　the　positive　ways　of　Living　Love；　you　wipe　out　vulnerabilities　you
programmed　in　the　past。
To　summarize：　when　you　are　upset；　it　is　vital　that　you　be　extremely　precise　in
putting　the　blame　for　your　unhappiness　exactly　where　it　belongs。　Your
problems　are　not　in　the　outside　world。　They　are　an　interaction　between　your
inside　programming　and　the　here　and　now　realities　of　your　body；　mind；　and
the　people　and　situations　outside　you。　Since　the　outside　realities　are　only
minimally　changeable　by　you；　your　happiness　depends　on　your　concentrating
on　changing　what　you　can　change　　your　emotional　programming　that
automatically　makes　you　uptight　when　the　world　does　not　live　up　to　your
expectations。　Seize　every　moment　of　anger；　resentment；　worry；　frustration；
anxiety；　jealousy；　or　fear　as　a　precious　opportunity　to　start　talking　straight　to
yourself；　so　that　you　will　no　longer　get　uptight　no　matter　what　happens　in　the
world　around　you。
Find　the　phrases　and　thoughts　that　generate　the　strongest　emotions
when　you　are　upset。
If　you　wish　to　use　the　Method　of　Consciousness　Focusing　to　get　free　for　your
lifetime　from　an　addictive　program；　it　is　important　to　search　for　all　of　the
phrases　and　thoughts　that　intensify　your　turbulent　feelings。　Force　yourself　to
experience　your　emotions　in　the　strongest　way。　Tell　yourself；　for　example；
“I’m　sick　and　tired　of　getting　angry　all　the　time。　It’s　hell　to　be　an　automatic
robot　that　stupidly　triggers　these　silly　emotional　binges。　I　want　to　be　free　of
all　this　idiocy。　It’s　silly　for　me　to　be　smothered　by　all　this。”
Be　specific。　For　example；　if　jealousy　is　your　problem；　tell　yourself；　“I　don’t
want　to　be　trapped　in　jealous　feelings　ever　again。”　Get　into　the　trapped
feeling　and　keep　hunting　for　phrases　that　trigger　strong　feelings。　When　you
find　a　phrase　that　intensifies　your　feelings　and　makes　you　cry；　keep　repeating
it　over　and　over　until　it　no　longer　brings　a　response。　Find　other　phrases　and
wear　them　out。　Then　go　back　to　test　again　their　ability　to　trigger　strong
emotions。
Remember；　you　must　really　want　to　do　it。　When　you　reprogram；　don’t
hesitate　to　yell　to　yourself；　to　beat　a　pillow；　to　clench　your　fists　and　teeth；　to
pound　on　a　bed　or　table；　or　do　anything　else　that　gives　notice　to　your　ego　and
your　rational　mind　that　you　are　firmly　determined　to　change　your
programming。　Remember　that　many　of　these　addictions　have　been　operating
in　your　bioputer　for　ten；　twenty；　thirty　or　more　years；　and　it　is　going　to
take　a　lot　of　determination　and　work　on　your　part　to　get　them　reprogrammed
so　that　you　are　no　longer　automatically　irritated　by　certain　situations。
It　is　important　to　use　reprogramming　phrases　which　“feel　right”　to　you。
Reprogramming　phrases　should　represent　new　insights　you　have　gained　while
examining　yourself　and　the　situation　which　you　found　upsetting。　By　using　the
Pathways　or　the　Centers　of　Consciousness；　you　may　e　to　realize；　for
instance；　that　being　criticized　is　not　really　a　threat　to　you　or　harmful　in　any
way。　You　may　begin　to　perceive　criticism　as　valuable　feed　back　which　may
help　you　improve　your　performance。　To　reinforce　this　new　attitude　toward
criticism　and　make　it　a　permanent　part　of　your　programming；　it　is　valuable　to
reprogram　yourself　with　such　phrases　as　“Criticism　is　really　useful；　not
harmful”　or　“I　can　wele　criticism”　or　“I　don’t　need　to　get　defensive
when　someone　criticizes　me。”
If　you　use　reprogramming　phrases　that　don’t　“feel　right”　or　that　you　do　not
consciously　believe；　you　may　find　yourself　experiencing　increased　resistance
as　you　use　the　phrase。　Instead　of　feeling　relieved；　free；　and　more　confident　as
you　reprogram　yourself；　you　may　feel　increasingly　tense　and　upset。　If　so；　it　is
best　to　listen　to　the　arguments　your　mind　is　ing　up　with　in　opposition　to
the　reprogramming　phrase　and　use　the　other　methods　or　repeat　the　procedure
on　pages　98　and　99　（A　LIFE　SAVER）　to　get　additional　insights。　It　may　be
you　are　not　ready　to　drop　a　certain　demand。　You　might　change　the
reprogramming　phrase　slightly　into　one　that　feels　more　appropriate　to　you。
thus　if　“I　don’t　have　to　have　a　lover”　doesn’t　feel　right；　you　might　try　“I　don’t
need　so…and…so　to　be　happy”　or　“I　don’t　need　to　feel　hurt　when　I’m　not　with
so…and…so。”
Don’t　get　ahead　of　yourself　into　a　phony　space。　Wait　until　you　really　feel
ready　to　drop　a　demand　or　an　unconstructive　way　of　reacting　to　a　situation。
When　you　realize　you　don’t　really　need　something　you　thought　you　needed；
you　will　find　it　easier　to　drop　the　addictive　demand　for　it。　When　you　have
clearly　seen　the　absurdity　of　your　old　programming；　effective　reprogramming
phrases　will　spontaneously　e　to　you。
Here　are　some　sample　reprogramming　instructions　to　your　bioputer　that
you　might　find　helpful：
“Life　is　my　teacher。”
“I　am　not　my　addictive　programming。”
“I　am　lovable。”
“I　am　the　master　of　my　life。”
“I　don’t　need　to　control　people。”
“I　can　accept　what　is。”
“I　don’t　need　other　people’s　approval。”
“It’s　okay　to　make　a　mistake。”
“It’s　okay　to　be　me。”
“I　don’t　need　to　hide。”
“I　have　nothing　to　fear。”
“I　can　let　go　and　just　be。”
“I　love　myself。”
“It’s　okay　to　make　a　fool　of　myself　in　public。”
“Rational　mind　　stop　sending　me　that　stuff。”
“I　am　enough。”
“I　accept　my　here　and　now。”
“I　don’t　have　to　reject　myself　when　I　（whichever　applies）　am　angry；　make　a
mistake；　feel　jealous；　am　not　loving。”
“It’s　OK　to　be　right　where　I　am。”
“I　am　getting　free。”
“I　don’t　have　to　be　a　robot。”
“I　don’t　have　to　be　uptight　when　this　happens。”
“I　don’t　have　to　get　caught　up　in　his/her　programming。”
“I　can　love　him/her　just　the　way　he/she　is。”
“It’s　all　US。”
“I　don’t　need　（whichever　applies）　outside　acceptance；　approval；　respect；　love；
special　attention；　romantic　love；　close　relationships；　to　control；　to　manipulate；
to　be　addicted；　to　be　afraid。”
Make　up　your　own　phrases　to　fit　your　situation。　As　you　bee　expert　in
reprogramming；　you　may　be　surprised　by　its　effectiveness。　With　persistence
and　determination；　you　can　reprogram　all　of　your　addictions　　no　matter　how
long…standing　or　how　strong　they　are。
In　one　Consciousness　Focusing　session　you　cannot　wipe　out　all　your
undesired　programming　from　the　past　years　because　you　are　usually　upset
about　only　one　thing　at　a　time。　You　can　only　reprogram　that　which　is　making
you　upset　here　and　now。　So　talk　specifically　to　yourself　only　about　the
problem　that　is　making　you　feel　bad　right　now。　Suppose　you　relied　on
someone　to　help　you　and　he　forgot　to　do　what　he　had　agreed　to　do。　You　have
made　yourself　angry。　Now　talk　to　yourself　specifically　about　that　situation：　“I
don’t　have　to　feel　angry　when　I　feel　people　aren’t　meeting　agreements。”　“I
don’t　need　to　put　myself　through　all　of　this　turmoil。”　“People　don’t　have　to
live　up　to　my　models。”　“I　can　enjoy　what　I　do　have。”
Talk　very　precisely　to　yourself；　for　the　feelings　you　experience　when　you　are
upset　are　the　feelings　that　will　be　programmed　in　some　degree　into　your
future。　Say　things　like；　“I　can　reprogram　this　addiction。　I　don’t　need　to　get
uptight　over　this　situation。　It’s　just　my　programming　that　is　making　me
uptight。　I　can　change　that　programming。　That　programming　doesn’t　serve　me
in　any　way。　I　don’t　need　it　for　anything。　I　don’t　need　to　hold　on　to　that
emotional　reaction。　Love　is　more　important。　I　am　creating　this　suffering　in
my　mind。　It’s　all　in　my　mind。”
As　a　way　of　exploring　your　suffering　（Step　1）；
you　may　wish　to　consciously　play　out　your　old　programming。
It　is　helpful　to　distinguish　between　discharging　old　programming　and　creating
new　programming。　When　you　consciously　relive　a　disturbing　situation　and
scream；　“I　hate　you；　I　hate　you！”　with　the　full　intention　of　getting　rid　of　such
garbage　from　your　mind；　you　are　not　reinforcing　negative　programming；　you
are　freeing　yourself　from　it。　Whe
