from　it。　For　example；　if　your　marriage　relationship　is　unfortable　to　you　or
if　you　are　upsetting　yourself　in　your　business　affairs；　you　can　use　this
effective　technique　to　grow　much　more　rapidly　than　if　you　did　not　have　such
heavy　life　problems。
Consciousness　focusing　is　based　on　the　fact　that　your　emotional　programming
is　established　by　whatever　you　tell　yourself　with　strong　feelings　when　you　are
in　pain　and　suffering。　Actually；　you’ve　been　using　Consciousness　Focusing
all　of　your　life。　Perhaps　when　you　were　a　young　child　you　stuck　your　finger
into　a　light　bulb　socket　and　received　an　electric　shock。　You　instantly
withdrew　your　finger　in　pain；　and　told　yourself　that　the　light　bulb　socket　was
the　cause　of　the　pain。　That　may　have　been　the　last　time　you　ever　did　that
because　your　bioputer　strongly　programmed　an　instruction；　“I　will　not　put
my　finger　in　light　bulb　sockets　because　it　hurts。”　From　then　on　in　your　life；
whenever　your　finger　even　got　near　the　inside　of　a　light　bulb　socket；　a　“red
flag”　went　up　in　you　to　make　sure　you　didn’t　get　shocked　again。
When　you　are　peaceful　and　calm；　you　have　the　best　opportunity　to　reprogram
your　rational　mind　　but　not　your　emotion…backed　addictions。　For　example；
you　can　study　a　book　or　listen　to　a　lecture　most　effectively　when　you　are
calm。　Your　bioputer　will　not　handle　the　lecture　or　book　very　well　when
you　are　upset　because　your　addictions　have　the　ability　to　dominate　and
override　other　processes　in　your　bioputer。　But　when　you　are　emotionally
upset；　you　then　have　a　superlative　opportunity　to　reprogram　your　addictions
by　using　the　Consciousness　Focusing　Method。　Thus　every　time　you　feel
fearful；　jealous；　anxious；　or　angry；　your　life　is　giving　you　a　golden　opportunity
to　use　this　method　to　liberate　yourself　from　an　addiction。
Consciousness　Focusing　can　be　used　at　any　time　to　work　on　an　addiction。
However；　it　is　most　effective　in　getting　rid　of　a　deeper　level　security；
sensation；　or　power　addiction　when；　in　the　past　few　weeks；　you　（1）　have
applied　the　Pathways；　（2）　are　aware　of　what　Center　of　Consciousness　you
were　using　to　make　yourself　upset；　and　（3）　have　used　the　Third　Method　to
connect　the　addiction　with　the　suffering　that　you　are　feeling。
You　may　use　Consciousness　Focusing　to　reprogram　a　heavy　addiction　when
you　want　freedom　from　the　addiction　more　intensely　than　you　want　a　change
in　the　external　world。　For　example；　after　a　five…month　period　of　repeatedly
experiencing　jealousy；　I　wanted　freedom　from　the　addiction　that　triggered　the
separating　emotion　of　jealousy　more　than　I　wanted　to　control　the　woman　I
was　with。　At　that　point；　in　about　90　minutes　of　Consciousness　Focusing；　I
apparently　reprogrammed　the　addictions　which　trigger　jealousy　for　the　rest　of
my　life。　Usually；　however；　repeated　programming　sessions　are　necessary。
Here’s　the　way　to　use　the　Method　of　Consciousness　Focusing：
Step　1。　EXPLORE　THE　SUFFERING
First；　review　the　bare　facts　of　the　incident　that　triggered　your　fear；　anger；
jealousy；　or　other　disturbing　feelings。　Then　let　yourself　experience　the
suffering　that　you　are　creating　inside　of　you。　Notice　how　your　body　feels　
your　head；　your　shoulders；　your　heart；　your　stomach；　your　legs；　your　back；
your　arms；　and　your　insides。　Describe　to　yourself　in　simple　words　what　you
are　feeling。　Use　words　such　as　afraid；　anxious；　depressed；　jealous；　angry；
resentful；　irritated；　etc。　Don’t　think　about　it　or　give　reasons　　just　observe
what　you　are　feeling　and　give　one　word　descriptions　that　refer　to　feeling
states。
Step　2。　PINPOINT　THE　ADDICTION
Now　pinpoint　the　addiction　（or　addictions）　that　are　responsible　for　your
suffering　in　the　situation　you　outlined　in　Step　1　above。　Clearly　formulate　the
exact　addictive　demands　that　you　are　making。　You　may　wish　to　review　the
Third　Method　explained　in　the　previous　chapter　which　tells　how　to　formulate
the　addiction。　To　get　rid　of　suffering；　you　must　first　know　the　immediate
cause。　The　cause　of　the　suffering　will　always　be　an　emotion…backed　program
in　your　head。　This　addictive　programming　must　always　be　present　as　an
intervening　variable　between　the　chain　of　events　in　the　outside　world　and
your　uptightness　and　unhappiness。　If　you　did　not　have　this　addictive　demand；
the　outside　events　would　be　powerless　to　trigger　what　you　are　now
experiencing。　It　works　this　way　：
Outside　Event　ü　Your　Addictive　Programming　ü　Your
Unhappiness
If　you　remove　the　middle　factor；　there　is　no　way　the　outside　event　can　make
you　generate　an　unhappy　experience。　Your　ego　and　rational　mind　have　been
blaming　the　left　hand　box　（the　outside　event）　for　your　suffering。　You　are　now
training　your　nervous　system　to　take　responsibility　for　your　experience。
You’ll　have　to　deeply　convince　your　rational　mind　that　your　addictive
demands　are　the　immediate　cause　of　your　suffering。　Be　very　specific　in
pinpointing　the　demand。　Exactly　what　do　you　want　in　that　situation？　What
would　you　like　to　change　in　that　situation？　Tune　in　to　your　feelings　and　check
to　make　sure　you　feel　that　you’ve　pinpointed　the　demand　which　is　causing
your　suffering。
Step　3。　SELECT　YOUR　REPROGRAMMING　PHRASES
First　look　back　at　all　the　past　suffering　you　have　brought　to　yourself　in　similar
situations。　Usually　your　ego　and　rational　mind　blamed　others　for　your
unhappiness。　This　kept　you　from　seeing　that　it　is　your　own　addictions　that
have　created　the　problems　in　your　life。　Look　at　the　long　chain　of　similar
events　in　your　past。　Take　full　responsibility　for　the　fact　that　you　were　doing　it
to　yourself。　Now　look　beyond　the　present　into　the　future。　How　many　years
do　you　probably　have　to　live？　How　long　do　you　want　to　continue　to　make
yourself　unhappy　over　this　sort　of　thing？　Have　you　really　had　enough
unhappiness　and　feelings　of　alienation；　pain；　and　separateness　from　this
addictive　demand？　Proceed　when　you　are　sure。
Now　select　a　reprogramming　instruction　that　you　want　to　forcefully　put　into
your　bioputer。　This　will　be　a　direct　mand　to　your　bioputer。
Experience　has　shown　that　this　mand　can　either　be　in　a　negative　form
such　as；　“I　don’t　have　to　be　jealous　when　my　lover　is　with　someone　else”　or
a　positive　form　such　as　“I　am　enough。”　Your　marvelous　bioputer　is
excellent　at　handling　instructions　both　to　do　something　or　not　to　do
something。　Choose　a　reprogramming　phrase　that　is　short；　pithy；　and　that　feels
good　when　you　say　it　rapidly　with　intensity　behind　it。　Start　out　with　a
reprogramming　phrase　that　directly　refers　to　the　situation　covered　in　Step　1
above。　Thus；　“I　don’t　need　to　feel　worthless　when　Sue　rejects　me”　is　a
specific　level　to　start　with。　Then　you　can　go　on　to　more　general
programmings　like；　“It　is　really　harmless　to　be　rejected！”　“I　don’t　have　to　get
upset　when　I’m　rejected！”　“You　win　some　and　you　lose　some！”　Don’t　start
reprogramming　until　you　are　pletely　fed　up　with　the　addictive　demand。
When　you　see　clearly　that　it　is　your　addiction　that　is　immediately　causing
your　suffering　and　not　the　situation　in　itself；　and　when　you　see　how
unnecessary　it　is　to　make　the　demands　you　have　been　making；　then　you　are
ready　to　start　reprogramming。　If　you　still　feel　you　would　rather　satisfy　your
addictions　than　get　rid　of　them；　you　are　not　ready　to　reprogram。　In　that　case；
use　the　other　methods　to　gain　insights。　Link　the　suffering　with　the　addiction；
continually　looking　at　the　suffering　which　that　addiction　creates　in　your　life
and　seeing　how　it　is　just　your　addictive　programming　which　creates　the
suffering　　not　the　outside　world。　Remind　yourself　that　negative；　separating
emotions　never　help　you　to　get　what　you　really　want；　they　only　work　against
you。
Step　4。　FOCUS　YOUR　CONSCIOUSNESS　ON　REPROGRAMMING
Now　tense　your　body　all　over　to　build　up　tension　in　your　autonomic　nervous
system　and　thus　add　to　your　readiness　to　modify　your　emotional
programming。　You　will　find　that　a　position　kneeling　on　the　floor　with　your
head　down　near　your　knees　will　facilitate　this　method。　（It　does　not　need　to　be
done　in　that　position；　however。）　With　maximum　determination　to　get　rid　of
the　addiction　that　is　causing　your　suffering；　forcefully　repeat　one　or　more
reprogramming　phrases　you　have　selected。　Do　it　over　and　over　and　over
again。　It　may　help　to　yell　or　cry　when　you　repeat　these　phrases。　But　it’s　your
determination　and　will　to　be　free　of　the　addiction　that　really　acplishes　the
reprogramming　　not　the　noise。　Clench　your　fists　or　beat　on　the　floor　as　you
say　the　reprogramming　phrase。　Tighten　your　arm　or　leg　muscles；　or　do
anything　else　that　feels　good　to　you　while　you　repeatedly　hammer　your
reprogramming　phrase　into　the　deepest　parts　of　your　bioputer。　If　you　are
yelling　during　Consciousness　Focusing；　you　can　use　a　pillow　or　a　small
plastic　waste　basket　（head　size！）　with　a　sponge　in　it　to　reduce　the　noise。　The
wastebasket　both　amplifies　the　sound　in　your　ears　and　helps　you　keep　your
neighbors　happier　by　greatly　cutting　down　on　the　outside　sound。
Keep　focusing　your　reprogramming　phrases　into　your　bioputer　by
forcefully　repeating　them　over　and　over　again　with　intense　determination　to
be　free。　If　your　bioputer　is　ready　to　let　go　of　the　old　programming　that　is
causing　your　suffering；　the　emotional　charge　that　you　experience　as　you
