As　long　as　a　person　operates　from　the　lower　three　Centers　of　Consciousness；
he　perpetuates　the　cause　of　all　social　injustice　　the　treating　of　people　as
though　they　were　“others；”　the　subject…object　attitude　toward　people；　the
determination　to　get　what　one　wants　without　finding　the　“us”　place；　and　the
inability　to　love　people　unconditionally。　The　person　who　lives　in　the　Fourth
Center　may　make　an　even　deeper　contribution　to　correcting　the　disharmony　of
the　world　than　the　individual　who　works　from　the　lower　three　Centers。　By
one’s　being　and　actions；　one　is　correcting　the　cause　of　social　injustice　
instead　of　just　treating　the　symptoms。　Even　though　a　person　at　the　Fourth
Center　may　carry　a　placard；　write　letters；　attend　meetings；　and　do　other　things
designed　to　encourage　people　to　find　the　“us”　space；　he　will　do　it　from　a　love
consciousness　that　may　often　be　more　effective　in　reaching　the　people　that　he
wishes　to　change。　A　Living　Lover　is　free　to　exert　energy　in　either　fighting　the
symptoms　of　disharmony　in　the　world　or　to　expend　energy　in　correcting　the
cause　of　man’s　inhumanity　to　man　　which　cause　is　always　the　addictions
connected　with　the　perception　of　life　from　the　lower　three　centers。
A　Living　Lover　continually　experiences　the　beauty　and　perfection　of　the
world。　He　understands　that　we　create　events　in　order　to　give　us　the
experience　we　need　to　get　free　from　the　lower　Centers。　A　Living　Lover
constantly　experiences　a　harmony　and　love　above　and　beyond　the　daily　drama
of　addictive　strife；　and　at　the　same　time　he　experiences　the　beauty　and
perfection　of　expending　his　energy　to　uplevel　the　security；　sensation；　and
power　consciousness　of　one’s　fellow　beings　into　the　Love　Center　of
Consciousness。
It’s　all　perfect　now；　and　it’s　also　perfect　to　expend　energy　to　effect　changes！
To　the　degree　that　the　world　reflects　the　actions　of　individuals　experiencing
life　through　security；　sensation；　and　power　consciousness；　the　beauty　and
perfection　of　the　world　will　consist　of　its　ability　to　teach　us　what　we　need　to
know　to　uplevel　our　consciousness　to　the　Fourth　Center　　both　individually
and　collectively。　To　the　extent　that　the　world　is　populated　by　individuals　who
generate　their　experience　from　the　Fourth　or　higher　Centers　of　Consciousness；
the　beauty　and　perfection　are　reflected　by　the　continuous　enjoyment　of　the
Cornucopia　that　life　is　giving　to　us。
As　you　get　on　with　your　inner　work　on　yourself；　you　develop　a　deep　gut…level
confidence　that　the　Cornucopia　will　happen　automatically　to　the　degree　that
you　are　free　from　processing　your　thoughts　through　an　addictive　security；
sensation；　and　power　consciousness。　You　realize　you　don’t　have　to　worry
any　more　about　enough　loving　friends；　enough　food　and　shelter；　enough
enjoyable　things　to　do；　enough　sex；　avoiding　catastrophes　that　would　ruin
your　life；　keeping　people　from　pushing　you　around；　etc。　Based　on　your
experience；　you　gradually　develop　the　feeling　that　when　you　use　the　Twelve
Pathways　as　your　guide　in　everyday　life　situations；　you　can　totally　rely　on　the
flowing　harmony　of　the　interactions　of　your　energy　and　the　energies　outside
of　you　to　continuously　give　you　more　than　you　need　to　be　happy。　You　realize
that　you　can　just　live　your　life　in　a　gentle　non…striving；　flowing　way。　You
realize　that　life　is　really　set　up　to　enable　us　to　live　happy；　peaceful；　fulfilling
lives　　and　that　it　is　only　the　automated　dance　of　our　security；　sensation；　and
power　addictions　that　keeps　us　from　experiencing　that　we　have　more　than　we
need　to　be　happy。
By　getting　rid　of　our　emotion…backed　addictions；　demands；　and　expectations
that　make　us　reject　what　is；　we　discover　that　we　can　at　all　times　enjoy　the
many　“strawberries”　that　life　is　offering　us　instead　of　dominating　our
consciousness　with　the　“tigers。”　As　we　learn　to　totally　surrender　to　what　is；
we　at　last　find　more　security；　more　delightful　sensations；　more　powerful
effectiveness；　and　more　love　than　we　could　ever　need　to　be　happy。　Then　the
Cornucopia　of　life　unfolds　in　the　most　marvelous　way　　and　we　live
continuously　in　a　warm；　friendly；　loving　universe　that　we　have　created　by　our
higher　consciousness。
And　so；　hand　in　hand；　we　journey　down　the　river　of　our　lives　toward　the　vast
Ocean　of　Oneness　that　is　our　source　and　our　destiny。　At　last　we　have　the
profound　joy　of　knowing：
The　purpose　of　our　lives
is　to　be　free　of　all　addictive　traps；
and　thus　bee　One
with　the　Ocean　of　Living　Love。
Appendix　1
The　Living　Love　Theory　of　Happiness
1。　The　Problem。　Most　people　are　trapped　in　patterns　of　consciousness　that
result　in　widespread　unhappiness；　alienation；　fears；　continuous　conflict；　etc。
Instead　of　realizing　the　“cornucopia”　that　life　offers　us；　our　programming
creates　lives　characterized　by　tension　and　a　low　level　of　enjoying　life。　The
way　we　currently　process；　interpret；　perceive；　and　act　upon　ining　stimuli
is　responsible　for　our　inability　to　be　happy　one　hundred　percent　of　the　time。
We　are　all　beautiful　beings　but　our　lower　consciousness　security；　sensation
and　power　programming　causes　us　to　make　ourselves　unhappy。
2。　Basic　Principle。　Happiness　varies　inversely　with　one’s　addictions。
Addictions　are　programmed　expectations；　demands；　“absolute　necessities；”
desires；　or　models　of　how　the　world　should　be　that　automatically　trigger
negative　emotions　such　as　anger；　fear；　jealousy；　anxiety；　irritation；　resentment；
grief；　etc。　Every　addiction　makes　one　vulnerable　to　suffering。　When　one
understands　how　the　experience　of　happiness　and　unhappiness　is　generated；　it
bees　evident　that　all　unhappiness　is　due　to　addictive　models　that
determine　our　perception　and　motivation。　Even　physical　pain　does　not
produce　unhappiness　unless　one　has　an　addiction　for　being　free　from　pain。　It
is　the　addiction；　not　the　pain；　that　generates　suffering。
3。　The　Predicament　of　Life。　The　changing　energy　stream　of　life　in　which
we　live　satisfies　some　addictions　and　leaves　others　unsatisfied。　In　other
words；　we　win　some　and　we　lose　some。　Even　when　we　win；　we　then
unwittingly　create　another　addictive　demand　that　must　be　lived　out　in　a　robotlike
fashion。　We　usually　attempt　to　change　our　win…lose　odds　by　more
money；　knowledge；　prestige；　or　power。　These　lines　of　endeavor　never　make
enough　change　in　the　“win…some；　lose…some”　pattern　to　produce　a　high　level
enjoyment　of　life。　Our　expectations　and　demands　continue　to　dominate　our
consciousness　and　create　an　unsatisfactory　experience　of　life　as　long　as　we
have　any　addictive　programming。
4。　A　Dilemma。　Unsatisfied　addictions　dominate　our　consciousness；　make　us
unable　to　love　unconditionally；　keep　our　rational　minds　churning；　lead　our
consciousness　into　“futuring　and　pasting”　instead　of　enjoying　the　here　and
now；　and　make　us　trigger　negative　emotions　in　an　attempt　to　manipulate　the
people　in　the　world　around　us。　the　unfulfilled　addictive　demands　produce　the
experience　of　suffering　and　unhappiness。　The　addictions　we　satisfy　give　us
only　brief　pleasure。　That　which　satisfied　an　addiction　soon　tends　to　form　a
new　addiction　that　our　nervous　system　indiscrimately　protects　and　enhances。
Regardless　of　whether　or　not　we　get　what　we　want；　we　are　still　vulnearable　to
fear；　grief；　or　anger　that　can　generate　the　experience　of　unhappiness。
5。　The　Unworkable　Solution。　Our　ancestors；　throughout　eons　of　jungle　life；
developed　nervous　systems　that　effectively　guarded　our　species　against
external　dangers。　Over　99％　of　the　people　in　the　world　today　are　stuck　with
nervous　systems　that　usually　operate　by　blaming　the　outside　world　for　any
problems　they　experience。　We　organize　our　perceptions　and　energies　into
trying　to　make　our　lives　work　by　programming　that　is　ultra　efficient　at
paring　the　outside　world　with　our　inner　addictive　models　　thus
triggering　emergency　alarms　of　anger；　fear；　grief；　frustration；　or　jealousy　when
they　do　not　correspond。　When　we　operate　on　lower　consciousness　levels；　we
trigger　emotions　that　generate　forceful　actions　in　an　attempt　to　change　the
outside　world　so　that　it　corresponds　with　our　security；　sensation；　and　power
addictions。　The　result　is　a　roller…coasting　between　pleasure　and　pain　（which
we　try　to　ameliorate　by　increasing　our　skill　at　manipulation）　meanwhile
maintaining　a　social　veneer　of　politeness；　diplomacy；　and　a　shallow　degree　of
warmth　and　love。　Conscious　people　always　have　a　choice　of　whether　to　try
to　modify　the　actions　of　people　around　them　or　to　change　their　responses　to
the　ining　stimuli。
6。　The　Way　To　Happiness。　The　practical　solution　to　the　problem　of
continuously　enjoying　our　lives　is　to　re…train　our　bioputers　so　that　the　first
response　to　a　life　situation　is　to　harmonize　our　energies　with　the　outside　world
instead　of　trying　to　force　the　outside　world　to　fit　our　inner　patterns。
Unconditionally　loving　munication　（which　is　not　addicted　to　results）　will
usually　permit　the　adjustments　to　occur　that　we　need　for　harmonizing　our
energies。　Every　addiction　leaves　us　vulnerable；　preferences　enable　us　to
continually　enjoy　life。　when　our　bioputers　operate　from　preferential
programming；　our　happiness　is　not　affected　　regardless　of　whether　the
outside　world　fits　our　preferences　or　not。　This　permits　us　to　enjoy　the　here
a
