1。　Do　you　see　how　this　addiction　makes　you　act　like　a　robot　that　responds
automatically？
2。　Do　you　see　how　you　are　making　yourself　suffer　because　of　this　addiction？
3。　Can　you　see　the　repeated　pattern　of　suffering　that　this　addiction　has
created　in　your　life？
4。　Have　you　had　enough　suffering？　Are　you　willing　to　let　go　of　the　demand？
If　not；　make　sure　that　the　demand　which　you　chose　is　what　is　really
bothering　you　in　that　situation　and　repeat　Step　III。
5。　To　change　the　old　programming；　choose　one　or　two　short；　pithy
reprogramming　phrases　that　counteract　specific　demands。　Thus　to
counteract　the　demand　for　approval；　the　phrase　“I　don’t　need　approval”
would　be　appropriate。　To　counteract　a　demand　not　to　make　mistakes；　“I
don’t　have　to　reject　myself　if　I　make　mistakes”　would　help。　They　should
feel　right　when　said　rapidly　with　intensity。
6。　Prepare　to　reprogram　by　replaying　the　scene　and　re…experiencing　your
emotions。　Really　get　in　touch　with　the　suffering　your　addictions　have
caused　you　and　with　your　determination　to　get　free。　Let　your　energy　build
for　a　drive　toward　freedom！
STEP　4　：　FOCUS　ON　REPROGRAMMING。
1。　Close　your　eyes。　Take　ten　deep；　rapid　breaths。　Tense　your　muscles。
Build　up　all　the　emotional　energy　you　can。
2。　Then　reprogram　with　intensity　and　power。　Repeat　your　reprogramming
phrases　with　gut…level　determination　until　you　feel　that　they　have　clicked
into　your　bioputer。
3。　To　get　helpful　insights；　read　the　Twelve　Pathways　aloud　and　look　at　the
Centers　of　Consciousness　you　are　using。
4。　Put　yourself　back　in　the　same　scene　　this　time　with　the　new　programming
in　operation。　Reaffirm　the　new　programming　by　visualizing　yourself
responding　to　the　situation　with　new　positive　responses　and　feelings　based
on　your　new　programming。　Reaffirm　that　you　can　be　free　of　old
programming　　free　to　be　how　you　really　want　to　be　in　order　to　enjoy　all
of　your　life。
Chapter　15
Techniques　of　Consciousness　Focusing
There　are　background　attitudes　and　skills　that　increase　the　effectiveness　of
Consciousness　Focusing。　This　chapter　will　discuss　practical　things　that　will
help　you　to　use　this　Method　to　reprogram　addictions。　But　first　let’s　review
the　four　steps　of　Consciousness　Focusing：
1。　Explore　the　suffering。
2。　Pinpoint　the　addiction。
3。　Select　your　reprogramming　phrases。
4。　Focus　your　consciousness　on　reprogramming。
Bearing　in　mind　these　steps；　here　are　ways　you　can　improve　your
effectiveness　as　you　use　this　Fifth　Method：
5。　Wele　the　people　and　situations　that　can　help　you　bee　clearly
and　strongly　aware　of　your　addictions。
Usually　you　carefully　protect　yourself　from　people　you　“just　can’t　stand。”
You　run　the　other　way　when　life　gives　you　a　relationship　that　worries　you。
When　you　begin　to　work　on　yourself　through　the　Method　of　Consciousness
Focusing；　you　try　never　again　to　retreat　from　any　person　or　any　life　situation
as　long　as　it　makes　you　aware　of　your　addictions。　You　wele　and　honor
that　situation；　for　it　provides　you　with　a　continuous　input　from　the　outside
world　that　makes　you　aware　of　emotional　programming　you　must　change　in
order　to　uplevel　your　consciousness。　the　Method　of　Consciousness　Focusing
cannot　be　used　when　you　are　peaceful；　serene；　and　loving。　It　can　only　be
used　effectively　at　those　moments　when　your　existing　emotional　programming
is　creating　in　you　feelings　of　duality　and　separateness　and　destroying　your
capacity　to　love。
Whatever　you　tell　yourself　at　this　time　is　absolutely　crucial。　So　be
sure　to
blame　all　of　your　uptightness　on　your　addictive　programming。
You　must　change　the　way　you　talk　to　yourself　about　your　life　situations　so
that　you　no　longer　imply　that　anything　outside　of　you　is　the　immediate　cause
of　your　unhappiness。　Instead　of　saying；　“Joe　makes　me　mad；”　say；　“I　make
myself　mad　when　I’m　around　Joe。”　Instead　of　saying；　“Mary　irritates　me
when　she　is　late；”　say；　“By　not　showing　up　on　time；　Mary　continually
reminds　me　that　I’m　addicted　to　punctuality。”　This　enables　you　to　use　the
Method　of　Consciousness　Focusing　to　gradually　get　rid　of　that　part　of　your
programming　that　makes　you　uptight　when　something　does　not　conform　to
your　expectations。
It　is　important　to　be　very　specific　and　accurate　when　you　use　Consciousness
Focusing　to　reprogram　your　unconscious　levels。　Whatever　you　tell　yourself
when　you　are　emotionally　upset　will　play　a　part　in　the　programming　that　you
will　have　to　live　with　in　the　future。　If　you　make　the　conventional　mistake　of
blaming　the　outside　world；　you　will　simply　strengthen　your　addictions。　If　you
say　things　that　separate　you　from　the　outside　world　such　as　“Men　are
terrible；”　“Women　are　awful；”　you　will　be　programming　yourself　in　a　way
that　will　alienate　you　rather　than　unite　you　with　the　world。　If　you　keep
talking　to　yourself　like　that；　you　may　develop　a　cancerous　cynicism　　and
that　certainly　is　not　working　toward　love　and　oneness。　The　world　is　what　it　is
　why　make　yourself　upset　about　it？　Instead　of　saying；　“The　cities　are
horrible；”　tell　yourself；　“I　must　release　myself　from　that　part　of　my
emotional　programming　that　makes　me　upset　when　I　experience　certain　things
in　cities。”　In　other　words；　you　must　stop　telling　yourself　that　the　reason　for
your　uptightness　and　unhappiness　is　“out　there”　　when　the　truth　of　the
matter　is　that　it　is　simply　your　inside　programming　that　continually　keeps　you
uptight。　When　you　have　reprogrammed　the　addiction；　then　you　can　choose　to
put　your　energy　into　changing　things　in　the　most　effective　way　　and　stop
putting　energy　into　things　which　you　cannot　change。
What　you　feelingly　tell　yourself　at　this　crucial　time　when　you　are　emotionally
upset　is　vital　in　programming。　You　could　program　yourself　to　hate　everyone
by　repeatedly　telling　yourself　when　you　are　upset；　“Everyone　is　out　to　get
me。”　You　can　program　this　in　your　mind　so　tightly　that　it　will　alter　your
perception　of　everyone　you　see。　If　you　want　to　love　people；　you　can　use　this
opportunity　to　put　in　“love　programming。”　Just　tell　yourself；　“I’m　tired　of
being　outside　of　it　all。　I　want　to　learn　to　love　everyone　　no　more　duality　and
separateness　for　me。　I’ve　got　to　learn　how　to　love　unconditionally　　without
demands。”
When　people　are　emotionally　upset　and　they　continually　tell　themselves
alienating　things；　they　program　themselves　directly　into　neurosis　or　psychosis。
When　you　are　emotionally　upset　and　use　this　opportunity　to　program　yourself
with　the　positive　ways　of　Living　Love；　you　wipe　out　vulnerabilities　you
programmed　in　the　past。
To　summarize：　when　you　are　upset；　it　is　vital　that　you　be　extremely　precise　in
putting　the　blame　for　your　unhappiness　exactly　where　it　belongs。　Your
problems　are　not　in　the　outside　world。　They　are　an　interaction　between　your
inside　programming　and　the　here　and　now　realities　of　your　body；　mind；　and
the　people　and　situations　outside　you。　Since　the　outside　realities　are　only
minimally　changeable　by　you；　your　happiness　depends　on　your　concentrating
on　changing　what　you　can　change　　your　emotional　programming　that
automatically　makes　you　uptight　when　the　world　does　not　live　up　to　your
expectations。　Seize　every　moment　of　anger；　resentment；　worry；　frustration；
anxiety；　jealousy；　or　fear　as　a　precious　opportunity　to　start　talking　straight　to
yourself；　so　that　you　will　no　longer　get　uptight　no　matter　what　happens　in　the
world　around　you。
Find　the　phrases　and　thoughts　that　generate　the　strongest　emotions
when　you　are　upset。
If　you　wish　to　use　the　Method　of　Consciousness　Focusing　to　get　free　for　your
lifetime　from　an　addictive　program；　it　is　important　to　search　for　all　of　the
phrases　and　thoughts　that　intensify　your　turbulent　feelings。　Force　yourself　to
experience　your　emotions　in　the　strongest　way。　Tell　yourself；　for　example；
“I’m　sick　and　tired　of　getting　angry　all　the　time。　It’s　hell　to　be　an　automatic
robot　that　stupidly　triggers　these　silly　emotional　binges。　I　want　to　be　free　of
all　this　idiocy。　It’s　silly　for　me　to　be　smothered　by　all　this。”
Be　specific。　For　example；　if　jealousy　is　your　problem；　tell　yourself；　“I　don’t
want　to　be　trapped　in　jealous　feelings　ever　again。”　Get　into　the　trapped
feeling　and　keep　hunting　for　phrases　that　trigger　str
