Love　Center。
The　reason　why　the　lower　Centers　cannot　bring　you　enough　is　that　they　cause
constant　distortions　in　perceiving　people　and　life　situations。　These　Centers
keep　you　from　loving　unconditionally　and　make　you　relate　to　people　as
objects　instead　of　as　beings　just　like　you。　They　make　you　waste　energy
pulsively　running　toward　or　away　from　situations。　These　lower　Centers
subject　you　to　simultaneous；　multiple　addictions　that　conflict　with　each　other
and　require　the　bioputer　to　do　something　about　the　heavy　emotional
overload。　When　overloaded　with　conflicting　addictive　demands　that　are　not
being　satisfied；　the　experience　of　the　here　and　now　is　grayed　over　with
repression；　anxiety；　depression；　and　dullness。　These　emotions　are　used　by
your　bioputer　to　slow　you　down　and　keep　you　from　tearing　yourself　apart
with　conflicting　demands；　desires；　and　expectations　generated　by　your
security；　sensation；　and　power　consciousness。
It　should　be　remembered　that　life　in　a　jungle　frequently　poses　the　threat　of
instant　death　to　its　animal　inhabitants。　We　have　a　beautiful　white　cat　that
purrs　and　is　most　loving　to　the　people　in　our　house。　When　this　cat　goes　out
into　the　yard；　however；　it　will　crouch　down；　stalk；　and　kill　birds　if　it　can。　The
automated　response　patterns　of　any　nearby　birds　must　be　able　to　handle　the
life　or　death　aggressiveness　of　the　cat　when　it　plays　out　its　jungle
programming。
We　have　nervous　systems　that　were　evolved　over　millions　of　years　to　cope
with　this　immediate　threat　to　life。　It　has　probably　been　quite　a　long　time　since
you　or　I　were　actually　threatened　with　immediate　death。　But　these
mechanisms　of　fight　or　flight　that　were　so　protective　in　the　jungle　are　still
operating　in　our　bioputers。　They　may　be　helpful　if　you　were　in　a　boat
that　overturned　and　you　had　to　swim　one　mile　to　a　nearby　island。　This　threat
to　your　life；　when　processed　by　your　lower　three　Centers　of　Consciousness；
would　bring　about　autonomic　nervous　system　responses　that　would　enable
you　to　swim　in　a　way　that　you’ve　never　been　able　to　swim　before。　But　in
over　99％　of　your　normal　daily　interactions　with　people　and　life　situations
around　you；　these　fear；　disappointment；　and　anger　emotions　are　not　helpful　in
enabling　you　to　get　the　most　enjoyment　and　effectiveness　from　your　life。　For
example　if　someone　criticizes　you；　your　angry　response　will　tend　to　bring　you
additional　criticism　　“stuff”　you　might　avoid　if　you　could　just　consciously
hear　the　criticism　and　perhaps　ignore　it；　if　inappropriate；　or　use　it　if　it　fits。
The　Seven　Centers　of　Consciousness　should　be　used　as　growth　tools　　and
not　as　another　way　to　criticize　yourself　or　to　generate　an　experience　of
inadequacy　or　inferiority。　You　do　not　need　to　fiercely　attack　yourself　because
you　caught　yourself　on　level　three　when　you　decided　to　spend　the　day　on
level　four。　No　part　of　the　Living　Love　System　should　be　used　addictively　to
create　expectations　that　make　you　drive　yourself；　berate　yourself；　plain
about　yourself　　or　anyone　else。
The　Living　Love　Way　works　best　if　you　simply　stay　with　it　and　notice　in　a
quiet；　accepting；　meditative　way　where　you　are　from　moment　to　moment。
And　remember；　where　you　are　is　perfect　for　your　consciousness　growth　　you
shouldn’t　be　anywhere　else　　here　and　now。　You　simply　notice　what　is
happening　in　your　moment…to…moment　stream　of　consciousness　as　seen　from
the　vantage　point　of　the　Living　Love　Way。　And　each　time　you　use　one　of　the
Living　Love　Methods；　you　will　find　that　you　are　being　more　peaceful　and
loving　in　a　situation　that　previously　would　have　resulted　in　your　emotionally
thrashing　around　and　upsetting　yourself　and　others。
On　the　next　page　you　will　find　a　summary　of　the　Seven　Centers　of
Consciousness。　It　will　help　you　if　you　will　learn　the　seven…point　scale　so
thoroughly　that　you　will　feel　（without　necessarily　analyzing　it）　which　Center
of　Consciousness　your　bioputer　is　operating　on　at　each　moment。
In　the　next　three　chapters　you　will　find　detailed　descriptions　of　each　Center　of
Consciousness。
THE　SEVEN　CENTERS　OF　CONSCIOUSNESS
1。　THE　SECURITY　CENTER
This　Center　makes　you　preoccupied　with　food；　shelter；　or　whatever　you
equate　with　your　personal　security。　This　programming　forces　your
consciousness　to　be　dominated　by　your　continuous　battle　to　get　“enough”
from　the　world　in　order　to　feel　secure。
2。　THE　SENSATION　CENTER
This　Center　is　concerned　with　finding　happiness　in　life　by　providing　yourself
with　more　and　better　pleasurable　sensations　and　activities。　For　many　people；
sex　is　the　most　appealing　of　all　sensations。　Other　addictive　sensations　may
include　the　sound　of　music；　the　taste　of　food；　etc。
3。　THE　POWER　CENTER
When　your　consciousness　is　focused　on　this　Center；　you　are　concerned　with
dominating　people　and　situations　and　increasing　your　prestige；　wealth；　and
pride　　in　addition　to　thousands　of　more　subtle　forms　of　hierarchy；
manipulation；　and　control。
4。　THE　LOVE　CENTER
At　this　Center　you　are　transcending　subject…object　relationships　and　are
learning　to　see　the　world　with　the　feelings　and　harmonies　of　flowing
acceptance。　You　see　yourself　in　everyone　　and　everyone　in　yourself。　You
feel　passion　for　the　suffering　of　those　caught　in　the　dramas　of　security；
sensation；　and　power。　You　are　beginning　to　love　and　accept　everyone
unconditionally　　even　yourself。
5。　THE　CORNUCOPIA　CENTER
When　your　consciousness　is　illuminated　by　this　Center；　you　experience　the
friendliness　of　the　world　you　are　creating。　You　begin　to　realize　that　you’ve
always　lived　in　a　perfect　world。　To　the　degree　that　you　still　have　addictions；
the　perfection　lies　in　giving　you　the　experience　you　need　to　get　free　of　your
emotion…backed　demands。　As　you　reprogram　your　addictions；　the　perfection
will　be　experienced　as　a　continuous　enjoyment　of　the　here　and　now　in　your
life。　As　you　bee　more　loving　and　accepting；　the　world　bees　a　“horn
of　plenty”　that　gives　you　more　than　you　need　to　be　happy。
6。　THE　CONSCIOUS…AWARENESS　CENTER
It　is　liberating　to　have　a　Center　from　which　your　Conscious…awareness
watches　your　body　and　mind　perform　on　the　lower　five　centers。　This　is　a
meta…center　from　which　you　non…judgmentally　witness　the　drama　of　your
body　and　mind。　From　this　Center　of　Centers；　you　learn　to　impartially　observe
your　social　roles　and　life　games　from　a　place　that　is　free　from　fear　and
vulnerability。
7。　THE　COSMIC　CONSCIOUSNESS　CENTER
When　you　live　fully　in　the　Sixth　Center　of　Consciousness；　you　are　ready　to
transcend　self…awareness　and　bee　pure　awareness。　At　this　ultimate　level；
you　are　one　with　everything　　you　are　love；　peace；　energy；　beauty；　wisdom；
clarity；　effectiveness；　and　oneness。
Chapter　10
The　Three　Centers　of　Unhappiness
There　is　nothing　about　any　level　of　consciousness　that　is　right　or　wrong；　good
or　bad；　pure　or　evil。　You　should　feel　free　to　let　your　consciousness　touch　on
any　of　the　seven　levels。　You　are　where　you　are　　here　and　now。　Your　growth
in　Living　Love　will　depend　on　pletely　accepting　yourself　and　others　
right　here　now　　and　not　in　some　future　time　when　you　have　conquered　your
addictions。
Just　accept　where　you　are　now　by　realizing　that　you　are　experiencing
addictions　that　give　you　the　feelings　you　need　for　your　next　step　in　growth。
By　joyously　using　your　here　and　now　as　a　stepping　stone；　your　growth　will　be
happening　in　the　fastest　possible　way。
Here　is　the　Living　Love　scale　you　can　use　to　develop　a　moment…by…moment
feeling　of　where　you　are　in　your　great　adventure　into　higher　consciousness　：
THE　FIRST　CENTER　OF　CONSCIOUSNESS　
THE　SECURITY　CENTER
What　is　it　that　makes　you　feel　secure？　What　is　it　that　makes　you　feel
insecure？　Your　answer　to　these　questions　is　probably　misleading　to　you；　for
your　feelings　of　security　are　created　by　your　emotional　programming　　what
you　are　telling　yourself　inside。　The　outside　conditions　of　your　life　do　not
make　you　feel　either　secure　or　insecure。　They　only　trigger　your　inside
programming。　One　person　may　feel　secure　with　practically　no　money　at　all。
Another　may　feel　insecure　with　a　million　dollars　in　the　bank。
The　Security　Center　automatically　triggers　feelings　of　fear　and　anxiety　when
the　outside　world　does　not　conform　to　your　security　programming。　Observe
