feeling　and　keep　hunting　for　phrases　that　trigger　strong　feelings。　When　you
find　a　phrase　that　intensifies　your　feelings　and　makes　you　cry；　keep　repeating
it　over　and　over　until　it　no　longer　brings　a　response。　Find　other　phrases　and
wear　them　out。　Then　go　back　to　test　again　their　ability　to　trigger　strong
emotions。
Remember；　you　must　really　want　to　do　it。　When　you　reprogram；　don’t
hesitate　to　yell　to　yourself；　to　beat　a　pillow；　to　clench　your　fists　and　teeth；　to
pound　on　a　bed　or　table；　or　do　anything　else　that　gives　notice　to　your　ego　and
your　rational　mind　that　you　are　firmly　determined　to　change　your
programming。　Remember　that　many　of　these　addictions　have　been　operating
in　your　bioputer　for　ten；　twenty；　thirty　or　more　years；　and　it　is　going　to
take　a　lot　of　determination　and　work　on　your　part　to　get　them　reprogrammed
so　that　you　are　no　longer　automatically　irritated　by　certain　situations。
It　is　important　to　use　reprogramming　phrases　which　“feel　right”　to　you。
Reprogramming　phrases　should　represent　new　insights　you　have　gained　while
examining　yourself　and　the　situation　which　you　found　upsetting。　By　using　the
Pathways　or　the　Centers　of　Consciousness；　you　may　e　to　realize；　for
instance；　that　being　criticized　is　not　really　a　threat　to　you　or　harmful　in　any
way。　You　may　begin　to　perceive　criticism　as　valuable　feed　back　which　may
help　you　improve　your　performance。　To　reinforce　this　new　attitude　toward
criticism　and　make　it　a　permanent　part　of　your　programming；　it　is　valuable　to
reprogram　yourself　with　such　phrases　as　“Criticism　is　really　useful；　not
harmful”　or　“I　can　wele　criticism”　or　“I　don’t　need　to　get　defensive
when　someone　criticizes　me。”
If　you　use　reprogramming　phrases　that　don’t　“feel　right”　or　that　you　do　not
consciously　believe；　you　may　find　yourself　experiencing　increased　resistance
as　you　use　the　phrase。　Instead　of　feeling　relieved；　free；　and　more　confident　as
you　reprogram　yourself；　you　may　feel　increasingly　tense　and　upset。　If　so；　it　is
best　to　listen　to　the　arguments　your　mind　is　ing　up　with　in　opposition　to
the　reprogramming　phrase　and　use　the　other　methods　or　repeat　the　procedure
on　pages　98　and　99　（A　LIFE　SAVER）　to　get　additional　insights。　It　may　be
you　are　not　ready　to　drop　a　certain　demand。　You　might　change　the
reprogramming　phrase　slightly　into　one　that　feels　more　appropriate　to　you。
thus　if　“I　don’t　have　to　have　a　lover”　doesn’t　feel　right；　you　might　try　“I　don’t
need　so…and…so　to　be　happy”　or　“I　don’t　need　to　feel　hurt　when　I’m　not　with
so…and…so。”
Don’t　get　ahead　of　yourself　into　a　phony　space。　Wait　until　you　really　feel
ready　to　drop　a　demand　or　an　unconstructive　way　of　reacting　to　a　situation。
When　you　realize　you　don’t　really　need　something　you　thought　you　needed；
you　will　find　it　easier　to　drop　the　addictive　demand　for　it。　When　you　have
clearly　seen　the　absurdity　of　your　old　programming；　effective　reprogramming
phrases　will　spontaneously　e　to　you。
Here　are　some　sample　reprogramming　instructions　to　your　bioputer　that
you　might　find　helpful：
“Life　is　my　teacher。”
“I　am　not　my　addictive　programming。”
“I　am　lovable。”
“I　am　the　master　of　my　life。”
“I　don’t　need　to　control　people。”
“I　can　accept　what　is。”
“I　don’t　need　other　people’s　approval。”
“It’s　okay　to　make　a　mistake。”
“It’s　okay　to　be　me。”
“I　don’t　need　to　hide。”
“I　have　nothing　to　fear。”
“I　can　let　go　and　just　be。”
“I　love　myself。”
“It’s　okay　to　make　a　fool　of　myself　in　public。”
“Rational　mind　　stop　sending　me　that　stuff。”
“I　am　enough。”
“I　accept　my　here　and　now。”
“I　don’t　have　to　reject　myself　when　I　（whichever　applies）　am　angry；　make　a
mistake；　feel　jealous；　am　not　loving。”
“It’s　OK　to　be　right　where　I　am。”
“I　am　getting　free。”
“I　don’t　have　to　be　a　robot。”
“I　don’t　have　to　be　uptight　when　this　happens。”
“I　don’t　have　to　get　caught　up　in　his/her　programming。”
“I　can　love　him/her　just　the　way　he/she　is。”
“It’s　all　US。”
“I　don’t　need　（whichever　applies）　outside　acceptance；　approval；　respect；　love；
special　attention；　romantic　love；　close　relationships；　to　control；　to　manipulate；
to　be　addicted；　to　be　afraid。”
Make　up　your　own　phrases　to　fit　your　situation。　As　you　bee　expert　in
reprogramming；　you　may　be　surprised　by　its　effectiveness。　With　persistence
and　determination；　you　can　reprogram　all　of　your　addictions　　no　matter　how
long…standing　or　how　strong　they　are。
In　one　Consciousness　Focusing　session　you　cannot　wipe　out　all　your
undesired　programming　from　the　past　years　because　you　are　usually　upset
about　only　one　thing　at　a　time。　You　can　only　reprogram　that　which　is　making
you　upset　here　and　now。　So　talk　specifically　to　yourself　only　about　the
problem　that　is　making　you　feel　bad　right　now。　Suppose　you　relied　on
someone　to　help　you　and　he　forgot　to　do　what　he　had　agreed　to　do。　You　have
made　yourself　angry。　Now　talk　to　yourself　specifically　about　that　situation：　“I
don’t　have　to　feel　angry　when　I　feel　people　aren’t　meeting　agreements。”　“I
don’t　need　to　put　myself　through　all　of　this　turmoil。”　“People　don’t　have　to
live　up　to　my　models。”　“I　can　enjoy　what　I　do　have。”
Talk　very　precisely　to　yourself；　for　the　feelings　you　experience　when　you　are
upset　are　the　feelings　that　will　be　programmed　in　some　degree　into　your
future。　Say　things　like；　“I　can　reprogram　this　addiction。　I　don’t　need　to　get
uptight　over　this　situation。　It’s　just　my　programming　that　is　making　me
uptight。　I　can　change　that　programming。　That　programming　doesn’t　serve　me
in　any　way。　I　don’t　need　it　for　anything。　I　don’t　need　to　hold　on　to　that
emotional　reaction。　Love　is　more　important。　I　am　creating　this　suffering　in
my　mind。　It’s　all　in　my　mind。”
As　a　way　of　exploring　your　suffering　（Step　1）；
you　may　wish　to　consciously　play　out　your　old　programming。
It　is　helpful　to　distinguish　between　discharging　old　programming　and　creating
new　programming。　When　you　consciously　relive　a　disturbing　situation　and
scream；　“I　hate　you；　I　hate　you！”　with　the　full　intention　of　getting　rid　of　such
garbage　from　your　mind；　you　are　not　reinforcing　negative　programming；　you
are　freeing　yourself　from　it。　Whenever　your　ego　and　rational　mind
automatically　justify　a　negative　emotion；　you　tend　to　perpetuate　it。　But　when
you　re…live　a　disturbing　situation　and　consciously　discharge　the　emotions　for
the　purpose　of　getting　rid　of　them；　you　help　free　yourself　from　the　addictive
programming。　Your　bioputer　may　receive　new；　constructive　programming
more　readily　when　the　old　programming　has　been　consciously　run　through
and　seen　as　unnecessary。　The　conscious　discharge　of　addictive　programming
can　generate　energy　that　may　be　useful　in　getting　ready　for　Consciousness
Focusing。
It　may　be　helpful　to　re…experience　what　you　were　telling　yourself　that　caused
you　to　generate　these　separating　emotions。　You　might　have　created　fear　by
telling　yourself；　“It　would　be　terrible　if　I　failed　this　exam。”　Sorrow　might
have　been　created　by　telling　yourself；　“I　can’t　bear　to　live　without　Jane。　I　feel
all　alone。”　Anger　is　generated　by　thoughts　like；　“He　has　no　right　to　treat　me
that　way。　Who　does　he　think　I　am？”　You　can　fully　re…live　the　situation　by
expressing　all　these　emotion　generating　statements　with　full　intensity　while　at
the　same　time　clearly　realizing　that　you　are　merely　discharging　old
programming　（like　dumping　out　the　garbage）。　The　game　is　to　see　through　it
and　develop　new　and　better　ways　of　responding　to　such　situations。
Build　up　the　voltage　of　your　emotional　responses。
The　effective　use　of　the　Method　of　Consciousness　Focusing　requires　you　to
generate　the　strongest　emotions　that　you　can。　Do　everything　you　can　to
increase　the　electrochemical　voltage　of　your　emotional　response。　Most　of
your　addictions　were　programmed　into　you　through　suffering　and　pain。　One
way　to　reprogram　them　is　to　use　the　tension　that　is　associated　with　your
stronger　feelings。　You　may　be　able　to　get　rid　of　a　strong　lifetime　addiction　in
a　short　time　　if；　and　only　if；　you　can　build　up　your　emotional　intensity。　If
you　cannot　get　into　your　emotions　strongly　and　continuously；　it　may　take
months　or　years　to　reprogram　the　addiction。
