You will escape being trapped in this first level of consciousness when
youbegin 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.
if you are totally preoccupied with security, you will not have much
energy for seeking sensations and power. And you cannot feel close to
people when your consciousness is concerned solely with your security.
On this level people are objects to be manipulated.
Sensation Sensations, can never make you happy if you are depending on them for
Center happiness.
(2) But the same sensations can be totally enjoyed when your consciousness
is no longer stuck on the second level. When your consciousness is
primarily tuned to the Love Center or the Cornucopia Center, sensations
can add to your happiness as a part of the here-and-now flow of your
life.
The search for happiness through sensations keeps us ingeniously busy --
but nothing is ever enough -- until you are enough.
Power The last of the lower Centers of Consciousness (that can never provide
Center you with “enough”) is the Power Center.
(3) The attempt to find happiness through the
Power Center is definitely a forward step in growth toward higher
consciousness. When you are operating from the Power Center, you will
have more energy and you will interact with more people. But these will
still be subject-object interactions in which people either cooperate with
your power games or threaten them. In this Center, life is a series of
competitive moves and countermoves.
One of the bonuses of higher consciousness is that when you give it all
up, you get it all back. What you give up are your inner addictive
demands --what you get back is more of everything than you need in
order to be happy.
When you approach life with power addictions, you will be instantly
resisted by the power addictions of other people. Instead of opening
themselves to help you get what you want, they close themselves and
are automatically antagonistic to your power thrusts which threaten
them.
You can do this only by transcending your security, sensation, and power
addictions -- for it is only your emotional programming that disturbs you
when the events outside do not conform with the programming that you
have conditioned inside of you. As your addictions
begin to melt away, you begin to experience everything and everyone
around you in a different way. You view them not in terms of how they
meet your addictive needs -- for you are losing those “needs” -- you just
view them in terms of, “Well, that’s what is -- here and now.” You realize
that each individual has the need to be doing exactly what he or she is
doing -- here and now. You realize that everyone (including yourself) is
creating a world in which one’s addictions are lived out. When you
consciously notice thehollowness and suffering that these addictions
cause, you achieve insights that help you get free from them.
You are in the Love Center when you accept everything people do as part
of their journeys toward awakening. You know that if they are
consciously on the path, they will similarly accept your moment-to-
moment “stuff” -- for this is what helps them grow, too. And if they are
not consciously on the path and become angry, that’s their problem.
As your addictions become upleveled to preferences, you begin to find
that you can instantly accept what was previously unacceptable
emotionally. After all, you really have no choice.
Whatever is -- IS!!! That’s where it’s at -- right here and now. You might
be able to change the situation one second, one minute, one hour, or
one day from now. by not getting caught on lower state of
consciousness, you will be more happy, healthy and effective in realizing
your preferences.It doesn't mean to agree to others violating yourself
but reacting in a healthy way for yourself at the same time that
defending your rights.
Reacting from lower states of consciousness only bring caos and more
suffering. Sometimes you might win due to having more power than
others. But not always. Some people are very territorial inviders and
have massive egos, so this people will be big challenge.
As you learn to live more and more in the Love Center of Consciousness,
you will begin to find that you are creating a new world in which your
consciousness resides. People and conditions are not longer a threat to
you --for no one can threaten your preferences. “Others” can only
threaten your addictions. And you’re losing them fast. Soon your mind
will create no “others.”
As your addictions are reprogrammed, you will find that your “ego” has
less and less to do, and your ego will activate the egos of other people
less and less. you also can teach this people and put the seeds of
awakening in them.
When you live more and more in the Love Center of Consciousness, you
will find that your blood circulation will improve -- and your hands and
feet may be warmer. Your blood vessels will no longer be tight and
restricted so that you feel cold excessively and deeply. Your face and the
back of your neck and head will stay especially warm and glowing. Your
skin will experience cold but you will not feel cold inside. This is one of
the beautiful physiological things that happens as you grow into higher
consciousness. This greater openness of your circulatory system also
affects your brain and other organs to make them function more
effectively. Colds and illness become rare.
As you break through the illusion of duality and separation, you begin to
realize that it was only your head that previously kept you from loving
people unconditionally. It was not their actions as you had been
conditioned to believe.
Every experience you have of other people either leaves you peaceful
and loving or it makes you aware of the remaining addictions to be
reprogrammed.
You finally arrive at the place where nothing that happens in the world
around you knocks you out of the Love Center of Consciousness.
If you remain loving even when they try to hurt you, they may begin to
find that love place in themselves which they so want to experience --
but which they don’t yet know how to find. Everything is either an
effective or ineffective way of creating love, peace, and oneness.
No matter how horrendous your acts may be, you always want to be
understood and loved. So does everyone else. So just remember how we
are trapped by our addictions. And then you will understand. And then
you can unconditionally love everyone as an unfolding being.
Cornucopia As you live more and more in the Love Center of Consciousness, you will
Center open yourself to more people and life situations. Instead of shying away
(5) from people and situations as you have done in the past, you now realize
you have nothing to be afraid of. You will begin to find friendships that
you could never have found before. You will discover yourself exploring
areas of life that you would never have experienced previously because
of your security, sensation, and power addictions. You now experience
them in an open, relaxed way -- rather than in a preconceived,
judgmental way.
People who have things to teach you (but from whom you closed
yourself off) can now come into your life. Since your ego has less and less
work to do as the slave of your addictions, you are beginning to
experience the whole spectrum of your here and now.
As you gain insight into the Cornucopia Center of Consciousness, you will
begin to feel that you live in a friendly world that will always give you
“enough” when you live in the higher Centers of Consciousness. You will
also begin to deeply feel that you live in a perfect world. You will not feel
it as perfect from the limited point of view of your instant happiness
when you have addictive programming. But your world is perfect from
the point of view of continually providing you with precisely the life
experiences that you need for your overall development as a conscious
being.
You will begin to live more and more in the Cornucopia Center when you
experience deeper and deeper aspects of your world as a friendly,
nurturing place. You feel at home everywhere.
Cosmic When you live fully in the Sixth Center of Consciousness, you are ready
consciousness to transcend self-awareness and become pure awareness. At this
center ultimate level, you are one with everything -- you are love, peace,
(7) energy, beauty, wisdom, clarity, effectiveness, and onenes.
You will observe that your growth towards the highest Centers of
Consciousness may fall naturally into three phases:
1. As your consciousness begins to dwell more and more in the Love
Center and Cornucopia Center, you will begin to develop a multi-
centered perception that will enable you to see all of your thoughts and
actions from each of the first five Centers.
2. Continuing this multi-centered awareness, you learn to witness
yourself on the detached Conscious-awareness Center (the Sixth Center).
At this level, there is no longer a feeling of lower or higher consciousness
-- it is all the same from the Conscious-awareness Center. And then,
3. You go behind the Conscious-awareness Center to the selfless, unitive
space of the Cosmic Consciousness Center.
The Seventh Center is extremely difficult to attain. Out of the four billion
people in this world, there may only be about a hundred people who are
consistently in that Center. Achieving it usually requires a detached life
style and a long period of intense consciousness growth practice. Even
preferences must be eliminated to reach this Center. The author of this
book generates his experience of life using the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth
Centers and enjoys life continuously. This does not mean he is a hundred
per cent free of addictions, but he often goes many weeks without any
separating emotional feelings.
