over　99％　of　your　normal　daily　interactions　with　people　and　life　situations
around　you；　these　fear；　disappointment；　and　anger　emotions　are　not　helpful　in
enabling　you　to　get　the　most　enjoyment　and　effectiveness　from　your　life。　For
example　if　someone　criticizes　you；　your　angry　response　will　tend　to　bring　you
additional　criticism　　“stuff”　you　might　avoid　if　you　could　just　consciously
hear　the　criticism　and　perhaps　ignore　it；　if　inappropriate；　or　use　it　if　it　fits。
The　Seven　Centers　of　Consciousness　should　be　used　as　growth　tools　　and
not　as　another　way　to　criticize　yourself　or　to　generate　an　experience　of
inadequacy　or　inferiority。　You　do　not　need　to　fiercely　attack　yourself　because
you　caught　yourself　on　level　three　when　you　decided　to　spend　the　day　on
level　four。　No　part　of　the　Living　Love　System　should　be　used　addictively　to
create　expectations　that　make　you　drive　yourself；　berate　yourself；　plain
about　yourself　　or　anyone　else。
The　Living　Love　Way　works　best　if　you　simply　stay　with　it　and　notice　in　a
quiet；　accepting；　meditative　way　where　you　are　from　moment　to　moment。
And　remember；　where　you　are　is　perfect　for　your　consciousness　growth　　you
shouldn’t　be　anywhere　else　　here　and　now。　You　simply　notice　what　is
happening　in　your　moment…to…moment　stream　of　consciousness　as　seen　from
the　vantage　point　of　the　Living　Love　Way。　And　each　time　you　use　one　of　the
Living　Love　Methods；　you　will　find　that　you　are　being　more　peaceful　and
loving　in　a　situation　that　previously　would　have　resulted　in　your　emotionally
thrashing　around　and　upsetting　yourself　and　others。
On　the　next　page　you　will　find　a　summary　of　the　Seven　Centers　of
Consciousness。　It　will　help　you　if　you　will　learn　the　seven…point　scale　so
thoroughly　that　you　will　feel　（without　necessarily　analyzing　it）　which　Center
of　Consciousness　your　bioputer　is　operating　on　at　each　moment。
In　the　next　three　chapters　you　will　find　detailed　descriptions　of　each　Center　of
Consciousness。
THE　SEVEN　CENTERS　OF　CONSCIOUSNESS
1。　THE　SECURITY　CENTER
This　Center　makes　you　preoccupied　with　food；　shelter；　or　whatever　you
equate　with　your　personal　security。　This　programming　forces　your
consciousness　to　be　dominated　by　your　continuous　battle　to　get　“enough”
from　the　world　in　order　to　feel　secure。
2。　THE　SENSATION　CENTER
This　Center　is　concerned　with　finding　happiness　in　life　by　providing　yourself
with　more　and　better　pleasurable　sensations　and　activities。　For　many　people；
sex　is　the　most　appealing　of　all　sensations。　Other　addictive　sensations　may
include　the　sound　of　music；　the　taste　of　food；　etc。
3。　THE　POWER　CENTER
When　your　consciousness　is　focused　on　this　Center；　you　are　concerned　with
dominating　people　and　situations　and　increasing　your　prestige；　wealth；　and
pride　　in　addition　to　thousands　of　more　subtle　forms　of　hierarchy；
manipulation；　and　control。
4。　THE　LOVE　CENTER
At　this　Center　you　are　transcending　subject…object　relationships　and　are
learning　to　see　the　world　with　the　feelings　and　harmonies　of　flowing
acceptance。　You　see　yourself　in　everyone　　and　everyone　in　yourself。　You
feel　passion　for　the　suffering　of　those　caught　in　the　dramas　of　security；
sensation；　and　power。　You　are　beginning　to　love　and　accept　everyone
unconditionally　　even　yourself。
5。　THE　CORNUCOPIA　CENTER
When　your　consciousness　is　illuminated　by　this　Center；　you　experience　the
friendliness　of　the　world　you　are　creating。　You　begin　to　realize　that　you’ve
always　lived　in　a　perfect　world。　To　the　degree　that　you　still　have　addictions；
the　perfection　lies　in　giving　you　the　experience　you　need　to　get　free　of　your
emotion…backed　demands。　As　you　reprogram　your　addictions；　the　perfection
will　be　experienced　as　a　continuous　enjoyment　of　the　here　and　now　in　your
life。　As　you　bee　more　loving　and　accepting；　the　world　bees　a　“horn
of　plenty”　that　gives　you　more　than　you　need　to　be　happy。
6。　THE　CONSCIOUS…AWARENESS　CENTER
It　is　liberating　to　have　a　Center　from　which　your　Conscious…awareness
watches　your　body　and　mind　perform　on　the　lower　five　centers。　This　is　a
meta…center　from　which　you　non…judgmentally　witness　the　drama　of　your
body　and　mind。　From　this　Center　of　Centers；　you　learn　to　impartially　observe
your　social　roles　and　life　games　from　a　place　that　is　free　from　fear　and
vulnerability。
7。　THE　COSMIC　CONSCIOUSNESS　CENTER
When　you　live　fully　in　the　Sixth　Center　of　Consciousness；　you　are　ready　to
transcend　self…awareness　and　bee　pure　awareness。　At　this　ultimate　level；
you　are　one　with　everything　　you　are　love；　peace；　energy；　beauty；　wisdom；
clarity；　effectiveness；　and　oneness。
Chapter　10
The　Three　Centers　of　Unhappiness
There　is　nothing　about　any　level　of　consciousness　that　is　right　or　wrong；　good
or　bad；　pure　or　evil。　You　should　feel　free　to　let　your　consciousness　touch　on
any　of　the　seven　levels。　You　are　where　you　are　　here　and　now。　Your　growth
in　Living　Love　will　depend　on　pletely　accepting　yourself　and　others　
right　here　now　　and　not　in　some　future　time　when　you　have　conquered　your
addictions。
Just　accept　where　you　are　now　by　realizing　that　you　are　experiencing
addictions　that　give　you　the　feelings　you　need　for　your　next　step　in　growth。
By　joyously　using　your　here　and　now　as　a　stepping　stone；　your　growth　will　be
happening　in　the　fastest　possible　way。
Here　is　the　Living　Love　scale　you　can　use　to　develop　a　moment…by…moment
feeling　of　where　you　are　in　your　great　adventure　into　higher　consciousness　：
THE　FIRST　CENTER　OF　CONSCIOUSNESS　
THE　SECURITY　CENTER
What　is　it　that　makes　you　feel　secure？　What　is　it　that　makes　you　feel
insecure？　Your　answer　to　these　questions　is　probably　misleading　to　you；　for
your　feelings　of　security　are　created　by　your　emotional　programming　　what
you　are　telling　yourself　inside。　The　outside　conditions　of　your　life　do　not
make　you　feel　either　secure　or　insecure。　They　only　trigger　your　inside
programming。　One　person　may　feel　secure　with　practically　no　money　at　all。
Another　may　feel　insecure　with　a　million　dollars　in　the　bank。
The　Security　Center　automatically　triggers　feelings　of　fear　and　anxiety　when
the　outside　world　does　not　conform　to　your　security　programming。　Observe
how　much　of　your　time　is　involved　in　an　unpleasant　striving　to　achieve　the
conditions　that　you　tell　yourself　you　must　have　to　feel　secure。　The　Security
Center　of　Consciousness　is　very　demanding　and　strongly　pulls　your
consciousness　away　from　the　higher　Centers。
You　will　escape　being　trapped　in　this　first　level　of　consciousness　when　you
begin　to　understand　that　your　feelings　of　security　or　insecurity　are　due　to　your
emotional　programming　which　you　picked　up　from　addicted　people　before
you　were　mentally　and　physically　mature。　You　will　also　notice　the
impossibility　of　getting　enough　of　whatever　it　is　that　you　equate　with　security。
You　may　be　like　the　rat　who　is　running　as　fast　as　he　can　in　a　revolving
cartwheel　cage。　There　is　no　way　to　get　there　by　running　faster　　or　by
achieving　more　efficiently。
Paradoxically；　you　would　probably　be　safer　if　you　never　again　experienced
fear　in　your　life　　unless　you　were　actually　trapped　in　a　jungle　situation　faced
with　the　need　for　immediate　fight　or　flight　on　a　physical　level。　You　will　be　far
safer　when　consciousness　replaces　the　emotional　response　of　fear。　For
example；　if　you　wish　to　cross　a　busy　street；　you　increase　the　probability　of
being　hurt　if　you　are　afraid　of　being　hit　by　speeding　automobiles。　You　will　be
safest　if　you　are　simply　conscious　of　the　automobiles　running　back　and　forth
and　calmly　wait　on　the　curb　until　there　is　a　break　in　the　traffic。　When　you
perceive　this　break；　without　the　slightest　experience　of　fear；　paranoia；　or
danger；　you　calmly　and　peacefully　walk　across　the　street。　If　you　were　totally
unconscious　of　what　happens　when　an　automobile　hits　you　（as　a　small　child
is）；　fear　would　be　helpful　to　make　you　more　aware　of　the　overall　situation。
But　once　you　are　old　enough　to　be　conscious　of　the　various　factors　involved
in　a　life　situation；　a　fear　response　makes　you　more　jumpy　and　less　perceptive；
it　uses　up　your　energy　by　making　you　tense；　and　it　keeps　you　from　enjoying
your　here　and　now。
You　transcend　the　security　level　by　developing　a　deeper　and　deeper
understanding　of　how　your　hunger　for　“security”　is　all　a　matter　of　your
emotional　programming。　It　is　a　trip　that　you　are　doing　on　your　own　head。
Your　feelings　of　insecurity　are　not　a　necessary　consequence　of　people；　things；
and　circumstances　around　you。　You　will　begin　to　realize　that　your　life　right
now　is　what　it　is。　And　if　you　eliminate　your　addictive　models　of　how　things
should　be；　you　always　have　enough　to　feel　good　right　here　and　right　now。
If　you　prefer　to　make　changes　in　your　life；　you　can　make　them　far　more
effectively　when　you　transcend　the　addictive　programming　that　makes　you
feel　insecure。　When　your　consciousness　begins　to　operate　more　and　more　in
the　Love　Center　and　Cornucopia　Center；　your　higher　consciousness　will
enable　you　to　flow　into　situations　that　offer　you　far　more　real　security　than
your　lower…consciousness　struggle　for　“security”　will　ever　provide。　For　real
security　lies　only　in　the　love　and　flowing　that　you　will　discover　through　higher
consciousness。　It　can　never　be　found　in　manipulating　the　w
