state　of　consciousness　to　be　fully　perceptive　of　the　arbitrary　mores；
folkways；　and　social　roles　you　are　guarding　and　living　out。
3。　Once　you　thoroughly　understand　the　system；　it　is　not　essential　to　have　a
teacher　for　continuing　your　growth。　Your　life　will　be　your　best　teacher；　for
you　will　discover　that　you　are　always　putting　yourself　into　learning
situations　that　are　ideal　for　your　growth。　The　programming　that　you　most
need　to　change　has　an　unerring　way　of　putting　you　into　life　situations　that
can　make　you　aware　of　the　exact　inner　work　you　should　be　doing。
4。　When　you　use　the　Living　Love　Way　to　find　the　love；　inner　peace；　wisdom；
and　effectiveness　of　higher　consciousness；　your　inner　work　on　yourself
immediately　adds　to　your　enjoyment　of　life。　With　the　Living　Love　Way；
happiness　is　not　a　distant　goal　　it　is　an　ever…growing　part　of　your　here
and　now。
Think　of　the　energy　you　now　put　into　the　up…and…down　hour…by…hour　coping
with　your　feelings　while　you　continually　try　to　rearrange　the　people　and
situations　in　your　life　so　that　you　can　then　be　loving；　serene；　effective；　and
happy。　And　yet　year　by　year　your　quest　for　happiness　is　as　elusive　as　finding
the　pot　of　gold　at　the　end　of　the　rainbow。　Since　almost　everyone　around　you
seems　to　be　having　similar　trouble　in　being　a　happy；　loving　being；　you
may　have　lowered　your　standards　and　decided　that　continuous　happiness　is
probably　not　realistic。
The　Living　Love　Way　invites　you　to　set　the　highest　imaginable　standards　of
love；　serenity；　peace；　wisdom；　effectiveness；　and　continuous　happiness　for
your　life。　and　then　you　are　ready　to　begin　your　journey　into　higher
consciousness。
Chapter　2
Secrets　of　Happiness
Why　do　we　have　lives　filled　with　turmoil；　desperation；　and　anxiety？　Why　are
we　always　pushing　ourselves　and　others？　Why　do　we　have　only　small
dribbles　of　peace；　love；　and　happiness？　Why　is　it　that　human　beings　are
characterized　by　bickering　and　turmoil　that　make　animals’　relationships　with
their　own　species　seem　peaceful　in　parison？　The　answer　is　so　simple　
but　it　is　sometimes　difficult　for　us　to　really　understand　because　almost　every
way　we　were　taught　to　work　toward　happiness　only　reinforces　the　feelings
and　activities　that　make　us　unhappy。
This　is　a　central　point　that　must　be　understood。　The　ways　we　were　taught　to
be　happy　can’t　possibly　work。　Unless　we　see　this　point　clearly；　we　cannot
progress　to　higher　consciousness。　Here’s　why。
Most　of　us　assume　that　our　desires　（backed　up　by　our　emotional　feelings）　are
the　true　guides　to　doing　the　things　that　will　make　us　happy。　But　no　one　has
yet　found　happiness　by　using　emotion…backed　desires　as　guides。　Flashes　of
pleasure；　yes；　happiness；　no。
Our　wants　and　desires　are　so　seductive　。　。　。　They　masquerade　as　“needs”　that
must　be　satisfied　so　we　can　be　happy　at　last。　They　lead　us　from　one　illusion
of　happiness　to　another。　Some　of　us　tell　ourselves；　“if　I　can　just　get　to　be
president　of　this　corporation；　I　will　be　happy。”　But　have　you　ever　seen　a
really　happy　president？　His　outside　drama　may　feature　beautiful　yachts；
Cadillacs；　Playboy　bunnies　　but　is　he　really　happy　inside？　Has　his　ulcer
gone　away　yet？
We　constantly　tell　ourselves　such　things　as；　“If　I　could　just　go　back　to　school
and　acquire　more　knowledge　　perhaps　get　a　Master’s　degree　　then　I　will
be　happy。”　But　are　people　with　Master’s　degrees　or　Ph。D。’s　any　happier　than
the　rest　of　us？　It　is　beautiful　to　acquire　knowledge　but　it　is　misleading　to
expect　it　to　bring　us　peace；　love；　and　happiness。　We　tell　ourselves；　“If　I　could
only　find　the　right　person　to　love；　then　I　would　be　happy。”　So　we　search　for
someone　who　our　addictions　tell　us　is　the　right　person　　and　we　experience
some　pleasurable　moments。　But　since　we　don’t　know　how　to　love；　the
relationship　gradually　deteriorates。　Then　we　decide　we　didn’t　have　the　right
person　after　all！　As　we　grow　into　higher　consciousness；　we　discover　that　it　is
more　important　to　be　the　right　person　than　to　find　the　right　person。
We　must　deeply　understand　why　all　of　our　negative　emotions　are　misleading
guides　to　effective　action　in　life　situations。　Our　negative　emotions　are　simply
the　result　of　an　extensive　pattern　of　scars　and　wounds　that　we　have
experienced。　And　these　emotional　wounds　lead　us　to　perceive　differences
that　make　us　uptight　instead　of　similarities　that　enable　us　to　understand　and
love。　The　present　programming　of　our　emotions　makes　us　perceive　other
people　（and　the　conditions　of　the　world　around　us）　as　threats　　potentially
dangerous　to　our　well…being。　We　then　respond　with　adrenalin；　faster
heartbeat；　increased　blood　sugar；　and　other　jungle　survival　responses　that
prepare　us　for　fight　or　flight。　We　are　trapped　in　our　ways　of　perceiving　the
world　around　us。
But　no　one　（or　no　situation）　need　be　felt　as　an　emotional　threat　or　danger
when　we　see　things　with　the　clearer　perception　of　higher　consciousness。
Think　of　the　most　threatening　situation　you　have　felt　in　the　last　day　or　two。
Are　you　about　to　lose　your　job？　Is　the　person　for　whom　you　feel　the　most
love　paying　more　attention　to　someone　else　than　to　you？　Do　you　have　unpaid
bills　that　you　cannot　take　care　of？　Do　you　have　a　pain　that　could　be　cancer？
Now；　these　problems　either　have　solutions　　or　they　don’t。　Either　you　can　do
something　about　them　here　and　now　　or　you　can’t。　If　you　can　do　something
here　and　now　about　them；　then　do　it　　even　if　it’s　just　a　first　step。　It　saps
your　energy　to　be　worried　or　anxious　about　a　problem。　Do　what　you　can　do
　but　don’t　be　addicted　to　the　results　or　you　will　create　more　worry　for
yourself。　If　you　can’t　do　anything　about　a　problem　here　and　now；　then　why
make　yourself　unfortable　and　drain　your　energy　by　worrying　about　it？　It
is　part　of　the　here　and　nowness　of　your　life。　That’s　what　is　　here　and　now。
Worry；　anxiety；　or　other　unpleasant　emotions　are　absolutely　unnecessary　
and　simply　lower　your　insight　and　the　effectiveness　of　your　actions。
You　must　absolutely　convince　yourself　of　the　lack　of　utility　of　these　draining
emotions。　You　must　see　your　unnecessary　worrying　as　depriving　you　of　the
flowing　effectiveness　and　joyousness　that　you　should　have　in　your　life。　As
long　as　you　think　that　these　negative　emotions　have　any　function　whatsoever；
you　will　retard　your　growth　into　higher　consciousness。　If　you　do　not　hassle
yourself　emotionally　when　the　outside　world　does　not　conform　with　your
inside　programming　（your　desires；　expectations；　demands；　or　models　of　how
the　world　should　treat　you）　you　will　have　so　much　energy　that　you　probably
will　sleep　fifty　per　cent　less。　You　will　be　joyous　and　loving；　and　really
appreciate　each　moment　of　your　life　　no　matter　what’s　happening　in　the
world　of　people　and　situations　outside　you。
Where　and　how　did　we　get　this　emotional　programming？　Almost　all　of　it　was
acquired　in　the　first　few　years　of　life。　For　example；　when　we　were　very
young；　we　had　the　experience　of　mother　forcefully　taking　a　perfume　bottle
from　our　tiny　fingers　and　at　the　same　time　sending　out　bad　vibrations　based
on　her　desire　not　to　have　her　perfume　bottle　broken。　We　cried。　Through
being　painfully　pushed　around；　dominated；　told　what　to　do；　and　controlled
when　we　were　babies；　we　developed　our　emotionally　intense　security；
sensation；　and　power　programs。　Many　of　our　emotion…backed　programs
came　from　repeated　moral　directives　or　statements　about　how　things　“should”
be。　We　developed　a　“self”　consciousness　with　robot…like　emotional
responses　to　protect　the　“survival”　of　this　separate　self。
So　we　bee　emotionally　programmed　to　feel　that　we　must　have　power　to
control　and　manipulate　people　in　order　to　be　happy。　We　eventually　bee
very　finely　attuned　to　the　actions　or　vibrations　of　any　person　or　situation　that
even　remotely　threatens　our　power　addictions　　our　ability　to　manipulate　and
control　people　and　things　around　us。
As　we　reach　physical　maturity　and　our　bioputer　（or　brain）　is　able　to
function　more　perceptively；　we　have　all　the　power　we　need。　But　our
bioputer　（backed　up　by　the　full　repertory　of　our　emotions）　is　still
programmed　to　pensate　for　the　power　deficiency　we　experienced　when
we　were　infants　and　young　children。　We　now　need　to　learn　to　flow　with　the
people　and　things　around　us。　But　our　power　addiction　keeps　us　from　loving
people　because　we　perceive　them　as　objects　that　may　threaten　our　power；
prestige；　or　pecking　order。　If　we　want　to　love　and　be　loved；　we　can’t　be
addicted　to　power　　or　to　anything　else。
As　conscious　beings　the　only　thing　we　need　to　find　happiness　in　life　is　to
perceive　clearly　who　we　are　（we　are　pure　consciousness　and　not　the　social
roles　we　are　acting　out）；　and　exactly　what　are　the　real　conditions；　here　and
now；　of　our　lives。　How　basically　simple　is　our　problem！　But　to　achieve　this
clear　perception　of　ourselves　and　the　world　around　us　takes　constant　inner
work。　And　this　means　developing　the　habit　of　emotionally　accepting
whatever　is　here　and　now　in　our　lives。　For　only　an　emotionally　calm
bioputer　can　see　clearly　and　wisely；　and　e　up　with　effective　ways　to
interact　with　people　and　situations。
Our　power　addiction　is　only　one　example　of　the　happiness…destroying
programming　that　we　put　into　our　bioputers　when　we　were　too　young　to
perceive　the　realities　of　the　world　in　which　we　lived。　Although　we　now　have
the　basic　capacity　for　clear　perception；　the　operating　instructions　we　gave　our
bioputer　anchor　us　to　the　lower　levels。　And　so　we’re　unconsciously
trapped。
Here　and　now　is　the　reality　in　our　lives　　and　it　is　only　from　the　conditions　of
the　present　that　our　future　can　be　generated。　But　our　present　addictions；
demands；　and　expectations　（the　programming　of　our　bioputer）　dominate
our　consciousness　and　force　us　to　spend　most　of　the　time　we　are　awake　（and
most　of　the　time　we　are　dreaming）　in　protesting　and　pouting　about　the　here
and　now　situation　in　our　lives。　This　lowers　our　perceptiveness　and　keeps　us
from　finding　effective　solutions　to　our　problems。　The　Living　Love　Way　to
Higher　Consciousness　shows　us　how　to　break　through　this　trap；　to　free
ourselves；　and　to　find　our　full　potential　as　human　beings。
Chapter　3
The　Law　of　Higher　Consciousness
Your　growth　into　higher　consciousness　should　begin　by　fully　understanding
the　importance　of　being　one　with　the　Law　of　Higher　Consciousness　：
Love　everyone　unconditionally　　including　yourself。
This　law　can　enable　you　to　find　the　hidden　splendor　within　yourself　and
others。　Unfortunately；　we　have　never　been　taught　how　to　love
unconditionally。　Almost　all　of　our　loving　has　been　motivated　by　emotional
desires　programmed　into　us　at　an　early　age。　Most　of　our　love　experiences
have　taught　us　we　must　earn　or　deserve　love　before　we　can　have　it　　and　that
others　must　deserve　our　love。　This　is　conditional　love　　it　is　like　a　barter　or　a
business　transaction。　It　is　no　wonder　that　our　well…meaning　but　unskilled
attempts　to　love　usually　end　up　in　separation　and　alienation。　We　have　been
taught　to　place　conditions　on　our　love　：　“If　you　really　loved　me　you　would　。　。
。”　　and　then　we　use　one　of　our　addictions　to　finish　the　sentence。　This　is　an
exchange　　it　is　not　unconditional　love。
What　is　unconditional　love？　It　is　not；　“I　can　love　you　if　you　do　what　my
emotional　programming　　my　add
