have　the　potential　of　flowing　in　the　river　of　our　lives　in　a　beautiful；　loving
way。
SEVENTH　PATHWAY
I　open　myself　genuinely　to　all　people　by　being　willing　to　fully
municate　my　deepest　feelings；　since　hiding　in　any　degree　keeps　me
stuck　in　my　illusion　of　separateness　from　other　people。
As　you　begin　to　uplevel　all　of　your　addictions　to　the　status　of　preferences　（or
eliminate　them　entirely）；　you　will　discover　that　you　no　longer　have　anything
to　hide　from　other　people。　It　then　feels　good　to　be　able　to　municate　with
each　person　exactly　what　your　are　experiencing。　As　you　grow　into　higher
consciousness　through　eliminating　your　addictions；　you　will　be　able　to　drop
all　deceptive；　subject…object　manipulation　in　the　games　you　have　been　playing
　the　money　game；　the　security　game；　the　male…female　game；　the　prestige
game；　the　power　game；　the　knowledge　game；　the　expert　game；　etc。　These　can
be　beautiful　games　to　play　when　you　play　them　consciously　and　lovingly；　but
they　generate　suffering　and　unhappiness　when　you　play　them　addictively。
When　you　are　not　pletely　open　and　truthful　to　all　people　　when　you　are
trying　to　hide　a　part　of　your　inner　feelings　　you　continue　the　illusion　of
separateness　from　others。　Hasn’t　everyone　been　caught　up　in　the　addictions
for　security；　sensation；　and　power？　Are　you　under　the　illusion　that　you　have
desires　and　feelings　that　are　so　horrible　that　others　will　be　shocked？　Or　are
we　really　all　one？　Deep　inside；　all　of　us　have　experienced　this　self…imposed
suffering　and　isolation　that　keeps　us　from　being　peaceful　and　loving　　even
though　we　may　not　have　perceived　it　as　self…imposed。　We　have　all　been　in
similar　predicaments　at　one　time　or　another　in　our　lives。
One　of　the　ways　out　of　this　wall　of　isolation　is　to　municate；　“Well；　here　I
am。　This　is　what　my　addictions　are　making　me　feel　here　and　now。　I　accept
myself　（including　my　addictions）　as　being　on　an　unfolding　journey　toward　a
peaceful；　loving　state　of　higher　consciousness。”
When　you’re　around　someone　who　is　experiencing　fairly　continuous　states　of
higher　consciousness；　you　can　be　sure　that　he　or　she　will　conditionally　accept
you　exactly　where　you　are　now　　for　he　or　she　has　traveled　over　the　same
road　and　prefers　to　help　you。　You　can　grow　fastest　and　enjoy　the　trip　most
（even　though　your　remaining　addictions　make　it　a　bit　rocky　sometimes）　if　you
can　relax　and　just　municate　fully。
It　feels　so　good　to　be　able　to　just　open　up　and　let　people　see　all　of　you。
You’ll　be　amazed　at　how　quickly　they　can　then　cut　through　their　drama　and
accept　you　without　the　phony　masks　and　roles　with　which　you　previously
identified。　You　have　every　right　to　feel　exactly　as　you　feel。　If　“others”　are
bothered；　that’s　their　problem。　You’re　their　teacher　giving　them　experiences
they　need　to　reprogram　their　addictions　　just　as　they　are　your　teacher
enabling　you　to　find　your　addictions。
When　you　consistently　use　the　Pathways；　you　do　not　have　to　scream；
viciously　attack；　or　otherwise　unduly　threaten　another　person　in　order　to
municate　your　deepest　feelings。　You　don’t　need　to　lay　judgments　on
people　or　prove　them　wrong。　You　just　talk　about　your　own　consciousness。
Instead　of；　“You　are　horrible　and　I　don’t　want　to　ever　see　you　again；”　you　can
say；　“You’ve　put　me　in　touch　with　one　of　my　addictions；　and　right　now　I　feel
so　angry　at　you　I　don’t　want　to　be　with　you。”　When　you　just　talk　about　your
own　consciousness；　you　give　both　yourself　and　the　other　person　a　better
chance　to　work　through　the　addictive　programming　that　produces　the　illusion
of　separateness。
The　Ninth　Pathway　suggests　that　you　give　yourself　a　short　period　of　time　to
work　through　the　emotion　caused　by　your　addiction。　But　if　you　are　at　the
beginning　of　your　consciousness　growth；　you　may　find　it　more　important　to
municate　quickly　so　that　your　relationships　are　always　“up　front。”
Remember；　hiding　separates；　openness　unites。
As　you　grow　into　higher　consciousness；　you　will　bee　aware　of　the　many
ways　in　which　you　have　been　involved　in　plex　role　playing；　with　hidden
“shoulds”　and　“shouldn’ts”　that　create　plicated　patterns　of　demanding
and　expectation。　You　can　work　effectively　toward　the　“us”　space　when　you
genuinely　and　openly　municate　your　feelings　and　reveal　the　security；
sensation；　and　power　dance　that　you　have　been　doing。　You　will　find　that　you
can　usually　cut　through　these　ensnaring　dramas　by　expressing　your
preferences　clearly　to　yourself　and　others。　You　will　realize　that　open
munication　of　your　innermost　feelings　helps　your　ego　（and　the　egos　of
other　people）　to　get　free　of　addictive　programming　which　in　the　long　run　only
produces　unhappiness　and　alienation。
EIGHTH　PATHWAY
I　feel　with　loving　passion　the　problems　of　others　without　getting
caught　up　emotionally　in　their　predicaments　that　are　offering　them
messages　they　need　for　their　growth。
All　your　emotional　problems　are　created　by　your　addictions。　Your　growth
into　higher　consciousness　consists　of　being　free　of　these　traps。　When　you
interact　with　people　who　are　still　involved　in　this　automatic　puter…like
emotional　programming；　it　is　important　that　you　learn　to　feel　their　problems
with　loving　passion；　but　without　getting　caught　up　emotionally　in　their
predicaments。　passionate　understanding　　yes；　pity　and　miseration
　no。
passion　means　that　when　you　empathize　with　the　predicaments　of　other
people；　you　silently　send　out　the　vibration；　“Yes；　I　know。　I’ve　been　there　too。
It’s　OK　to　feel　the　way　you　do　　however；　try　to　see　that　it’s　all　drama。　Life
always　has　its　‘tigers’　　and　we　do　what　we　can　about　them。　But　above　all；
let’s　be　sure　to　continuously　enjoy　the　‘strawberries。’　There　are　always
enough　strawberries　to　enjoy　our　here　and　now　if　we　don’t　put　all　of　our
attention　on　the　tigers！”
passion　means　that　you　understand　the　duality　and　separation　they　are
creating　in　themselves　by　rejecting　what　is　here　and　now　in　their　lives　　but
you　do　not　get　caught　up　in　their　poignant　drama。　passion　means　that
you　realize　that　you　can　do　the　most　for　other　people　when　you　stay　centered
and　high　and　loving　whenever　you　are　around　them　for　they　are　playing　out
their　addictions；　suffering　because　of　them；　and　hopefully　picking　up　the
messages　life　is　offering　them。　passion　means　that　you　love　and　serve
them　from　a　clear　love　space；　and　not　from　a　pulsiveness　or　guilt
motivated　by　your　remaining　security；　sensation；　or　power　addictions。
You　learn　not　to　give　gifts　that　you　cannot　emotionally　afford　to　give。　When
you　resent　helping　someone；　this　creates　obligations；　duality；　and　separation。
You　cannot　psychologically　afford　to　give　such　help；　and　the　recipient　cannot
afford　to　receive　it。　The　price　in　personal　distance　and　separation　is　too　high
if　you　give　to　avoid　a　feeling　of　“guilt”　or　from　a　“should”　or　“ought”
motivation。
When　you　help　someone　because　of　a　feeling　of　obligation　or　duty　rather　than
free…flowing　love；　you　may　find　yourself　resenting　the　person　for　needing
your　help。　These　negative　feelings　can　prevent　you　from　being　sensitive　to
his　or　her　real　here…and…now　needs；　and　doing　or　saying　what　would　really　be
helpful。　Very　often　just　being　in　a　loving　space　with　a　person　as　you　listen　to
him　or　her　is　more　helpful　than　any　advice　you　could　give。
When　you　can　“help”　someone　with　a　feeling　of　love　and　oneness　　you　just
do　it　because　it　feels　good　to　you。　When　you　feel　oneness　with　another；　there
is　no　giver　or　receiver　　there’s　just　us　here。　It’s　like　one　hand　washing
another。　You　are　just　letting　energy　flow　through　you。
When　you　are　with　someone　who　is　trapped　in　the　suffering　caused　by
addictions；　you　use　this　as　an　opportunity　to　work　on　your　consciousness。
The　greatest　thing　you　can　do　for　“others”　is　to　remain　happy　and　loving
when　you　are　with　them。　You　do　not　get　caught　up　as　a　supporting　actor　no
matter　how　tragic　the　role　they　are　playing　in　the　drama　of　their　life。　It’s　their
thing　to　play　this　role。　They　probably　chose　this　role　（either　consciously　or
unconsciously）　and　are　clinging　to　it。　The　best　way　to　give　them　a　chance　to
free　themselves　from　their　addictive　trap　is　for　you　to　avoid　getting　caught　up
emotionally　in　the　“stuff”　that　they　are　taking　so　seriously。　They　are　not　that
“stuff”　with　which　they　are　identifying。　Behind　all　that；　here　we　are。
As　the　Law　of　Higher　Consciousness　suggests；　the　game　is　to　“Love
Everyone　Unconditionally　　Including　Yourself。”　As　you　begin　to　increase
the　number　of　people　for　whom　you　feel　unconditional　love；　you　will　be
aware　of　the　many　security；　sensation；　and　power　dramas　that　each　of　them　is
busily　playing　out。　You　realize　that　you　cannot；　in　practice；　have　enough　time
and　energy　to　love　everyone　you　meet　if　you　have　a　“bleeding　heart”
response　to　the　heap　of　problems　people　are　creating　in　their　lives。
Your　life　works　best　when　you　love；　serve；　and　flow　your　loving　energy　　not
from　a　lower　consciousness　motivation　of　“I　am　helping　you；”　or　“I　will　save
you；”　but　simply　from　the　awareness　that　“the　universe　gave　this　energy　to　me
and　it　feels　good　to　pass　it　along。”　As　you　bee　more　conscious；　your
energy　will　increase。　And　also；　as　you　bee　more　conscious；　less　of　it
