dominate　the　situation　to　fit　your　inside　pattern；　she　may　leave　out　the　pepper
but　feel　resentful　towards　you。　You　will　have　less　pepper；　but　you　may　also
have　less　love　with　your　meal。
Now　suppose　you　handle　the　problem　of　the　pepper　in　the　chowder　with　the
plete　knowledge　that　love　and　expanded　consciousness　are　always
enough。　You　have　previously　municated　your　feelings　about　how　the
pepper　keeps　you　from　enjoying　the　chowder。　If　Mary　serves　the　hot
chowder　again；　your　love　and　expanded　consciousness　may　tell　you　that　it　is
more　flowing　to　test　it　with　a　single　sip　and　then　concentrate　on　enjoying　the
people；　the　salad；　and　everything　else　around　you。　Just　steer　your　ship
around　the　rock　gently　and　lovingly。
Don’t　put　out　the　vibration　that　you　can’t　enjoy　the　chowder　because　of　the
pepper　　for　this　would　just　be　another　method　of　expressing　irritation。
pletely　accept　the　fact　that　you’re　not　supposed　to　be　eating　chowder
that　night；　and　go　ahead　and　enjoy　whatever　there　is　to　enjoy。　Don’t　put　out
any　feeling　tones　that　could　make　Mary　unfortable　because　you　are
sacrificing　yourself　and　not　eating　the　chowder。　Just　flow　as　though　the
chowder　had　never　been　served。
If　you　can　love　Mary　just　as　much　when　she　does　not　follow　your　request　to
leave　out　the　pepper；　it　is　very　likely　that　your　love　and　expanded
consciousness　will　enable　you　to　enjoy　unpeppered　chowder　the　next　time。
For　Mary　is　a　conscious　being；　and　she　will　notice　that　you　are　not　eating　the
chowder。　She　will　also　notice　your　plete　acceptance　of　this；　and　she　will
not　be　likely　to　get　upset　about　it。　She　will　just　accept　it　as　“that　which　is。”
Mary　will　appreciate　your　not　plaining　repeatedly　about　putting　in　too
much　pepper。　She　may　begin　to　feel　that　although　she　prefers　putting　in　the
pepper　when　it　is　cooking；　she　has　a　greater　preference　for　your　enjoying　the
chowder　next　time。　So　you　may　find　that　Mary　may　quietly　omit　the　pepper
the　next　time　she　makes　the　chowder。　If　you　can　keep　your　consciousness
pletely　free　of　the　Power　Center；　you　will　help　Mary　stay　away　from　her
Power　Center。　And　the　simple　matter　of　peppering　the　chowder　will　not
bee　plex　because　of　the　ego　stuff　that　you　mirror　back　and　forth。
And　what　if　Mary　does　not　choose　to　make　the　chowder　the　next　time　with
less　pepper？　You　simply　accept　that　as　being　a　part　of　the　here　and　nowness
of　your　life。　You’re　not　supposed　to　be　eating　chowder　when　she　fixes　it。
This　is　not　a　great　sacrifice。　You　may　not　be　enjoying　chowder；　but　you　are
enjoying　love　and　serenity　　which　are　far　more　nourishing　than　any　chowder
could　ever　be。　You　are　also　helping　Mary　enjoy　peace；　love；　and　serenity　and
this　is　the　greatest　gift　that　you　could　give　her。　If　you　are　addicted　to
chowder　and　have　to　eat　it；　you　could　always　go　out　and　buy　a　cup　for　lunch
tomorrow。　You　will　find　that　your　love　and　increased　consciousness　will
always　give　you　the　optimal　ways　to　veer　around　problems　or　lovingly
eliminate　them。
Always　remember　that　the　individual　with　the　higher　consciousness　is　the　one
who　is　most　flexible　　who　avoids　fixed　patterns　　who　flows　in　every　life
situation　so　as　not　to　get　involved　in　addictive　irritations。　The　individual　with
the　higher　consciousness　creates　a　peaceful　world　in　which　to　live。　This　can
be　done　regardless　of　whether　or　not　you　are　with　people　who　are
consciously　working　on　their　growth。　It　takes　two　people　to　have　an　ego
battle。　But　it　only　takes　one　person　to　create　the　peace　and　love　of　higher
consciousness！　The　other　person　does　not　have　to　know　the　Living　Love　Way
and　does　not　have　to　be　trying　to　reprogram　his　alienating　addictions。　He　can
be　inflexible；　power…oriented；　ego…dominated；　and　hostile。　If　you　can　operate
from　the　Love　Level　of　Consciousness　or　any　higher　level；　your　love　and　your
conscious　perceptiveness　will　enable　you　to　flow　in　every　situation。
Once　we　see　the　possibility　of　living　in　a　peaceful　and　loving　world　all　of　the
time　（regardless　of　anything　people　may　do　or　say）；　we　find　that　there　are
certain　life　situations　that　often　flip　us　back　into　the　power　level　of
consciousness。　For　example；　our　power　addictions　may　manifest　themselves
when　we　know　we　are　right；　but　the　other　person　stubbornly　refuses　to　follow
our　instructions。　We　need　to　remind　ourselves　that　getting　irritated　will　only
make　the　situation　more　plicated。　Oftentimes　we　get　annoyed　when　we
are　inconvenienced　in　some　way　by　another　person。　We　irritate　ourselves
when　people　do　not　follow　agreed…upon　rules　or　when　someone　is
thoughtless。　We　often　create　resentment　in　ourselves　when　we’re　trying　to
explain　about　how　we　think　and　what　we’re　trying　to　do　　and　other　people
do　not　seem　to　be　interested。　We　irritate　ourselves　when　we　perceive　that
another　person　is　deceptive　or　he　or　she　lets　us　down　in　one　way　or　another。
We　may　get　irritated　when　someone　tells　us　something　we　already　know。　Or
perhaps　we　are　meditating　and　we　annoy　ourselves　when　someone　is　not
sensitive　to　our　desire　for　silence。　Or　perhaps　we　are　busy　and　someone　is
not　aware　of　our　inner　flow　when　we　are　trying　to　finish　a　task。　Or　we　have
responsibilities　and　another　person　does　not　recognize　that　this　is　our
province　where　we’re　entitled　to　make　decisions。
Sometimes　we　irritate　ourselves　when　we　find　that　other　people　are　impatient
and　want　us　to　move　faster　than　we　are　moving。　Or　perhaps　someone
repeatedly　interrupts　us。　Sometimes　we　feel　paranoid　when　someone　does
not　return　our　friendliness。　Some　of　the　people　in　our　lives　will　attack　us　with
anger　and　hostility。　And　unless　we　are　thoroughly　able　to　operate　our
consciousness　on　the　fourth　level　of　unconditional　love；　we　will　immediately
throw　ourselves　back　into　the　power　level　and　our　response　will　mirror　their
uptightness。
It　is　necessary　for　you　to　tell　yourself　that　you　have　been　trying　to　handle
these　situations　all　of　your　life　by　using　dominance；　pecking…order
forcefulness；　emotional　uptightness；　barter；　gifts；　and　other　manipulative
techniques。　These　power　methods　have　not　yet　enabled　you　to　create　a
fulfilled　and　beautiful　life。　Now　it　is　time　to　switch　over　and　use　only　love
and　expanded　consciousness　as　your　guides　whenever　the　actions　of　people
do　not　fit　the　programs　that　you　have　conditioned　into　your　bioputer。
You　need　to　continually　remind　yourself　that　in　none　of　the　above　situations
can　you　justify　yourself　at　any　time　in　being　angry；　irritable；　resentful；
fearful；　jealous；　or　anxious。　You　need　to　realize　that　such　situations　are　part
of　the　nowness　of　your　life。　The　game　is　to　emotionally　accept　the
unacceptable。　You　are　trying　to　liberate　yourself　from　your　addictive　traps。
So　you　use　all　of　these　experiences　to　grow　in　consciousness。　If　you　do　get
trapped　into　unloving　dualistic　Power　Level　behavior；　you　just　consciously
see　the　drama　for　what　it　is　　and　you　resolve　not　to　get　trapped　again。　If　you
stumble；　just　get　up　and　go　on。　Don’t　bee　addicted　to　not　stumbling。
Use　each　fall　back　to　the　Power　Level　as　a　gift　from　your　life　to　help　you
bee　more　conscious　and　accepting。
The　energy　you　put　into　your　growth　toward　higher　consciousness　can　be
increased　if　you　deeply　realize　the　enormous　price　you　are　now　paying　for
your　lower　consciousness　addictions　　a　toll　in　lost　happiness；　lost　peace；　lost
love；　lost　serenity；　lost　wisdom；　and　lost　effectiveness。　If　you　put　half　the
energy　into　your　consciousness　growth　that　you　put　into　living　out　your
programmed　addictions；　you　would　soon　begin　to　live　in　the　warmth　and
beauty　of　higher　consciousness。
The　level　of　consciousness　at　which　you　operate　determines　what　you　notice
and　what　you　don’t　notice。　Your　programming　influences　whether　you　see　it
all　clearly　or　see　it　through　distorting　ego　filters　　whether　it　grabs　your
consciousness　or　is　simply　seen　clearly　for　what　it　is。
Love　and　peace　are　not　only　your　goals　　they　are　also　the　methods　you　use
to　get　to　the　goals。　Always　realize　that　it　is　only　the　programming　in　your
head　that　is　separating　you　from　the　beautiful　feelings　of　higher　consciousness
every　second　of　your　life。　Happiness　is　there　waiting　inside　of　you　　and　it
bees　more　available　every　time　you　reprogram　one　of　your　addictions。
Chapter　20
Living　Love　With　Children
A　child　can　be　a　great　teacher　in　your　journey　toward　higher　consciousness。
A　young　child　can　give　you　a　continuous　demonstration　of　what　it　is　like　to
live　in　the　here　and　now　before　the　rational　mind　affects　the　stream　of
consciousness。　A　child　can　turn　its　consciousness　fully　and　spontaneously　to
each　new　life　situation。　When　denied　something　that　it　wants；　it　may　respond
with　an　ego　trip　by　crying。　But　one　minute　later；　it　can　turn　its　attention　to　the
here…and…now　situation　that　life　offers　and　be　joyous　and　laughing　again。
Thus　the　consciousness　of　an　infant　does　not　grasp　situations　and　churn　them
with　the　rational　mind。
Children　are　very　sensitive　mirrors　of　your　consciousness　level。　When　they
are　surrounded　by　peaceful；　loving　people；　they　reflect　a　warm；　flowing　state
most　of　the　time。　When　they　are　surrounded　by　driven；　other…directed；
manipulating　people；　they　rapidly　reflect　this　tension　and　uptightness　in　their
