one’s　life　to　the　degree　that　we　convert　our　Addictive　Programming　into
Preferential　Programming　　the　kind　that　does　not　activate　negative　emotions。
For　when　we　have　upleveled　our　addictions　to　preferences；　we　can　accept
whatever　life　variables　might　present　themselves　without　triggering　the
emotional　feelings　of　disappointment；　frustration；　and　suffering。　Suppose；　for
example；　sex　is　a　preference　rather　than　an　emotion…backed　addiction。　When
sex　does　not　happen；　there　is　no　effect　on　happiness。　But　when　it　does
happen；　there　is　a　feeling　of　pleasure。
Similarly；　if　one　has　Prefer…not…to　Programming　such　as　“I　prefer　not　to　have
a　flat　tire　on　my　car；”　one　will　not　suffer　frustration　when　life　throws　a　flat　tire
at　us　（Condition　P）。　We　simply　observe　the　reality　of　the　flat　tire；　and　we
immediately　start　doing　whatever　we　need　to　do　to　get　it　changed。　When　we
have　Preferential　Programming；　the　flat　tire　will　give　us　neither　pleasure　nor
suffering。　Since　our　consciousness　will　be　free　of　the　negative　feelings
triggered　by　Addictive　Programming；　we　will　be　free　to　enjoy　whatever　there
is　to　enjoy　while　we’re　changing　the　tire。　We　may　notice　things　in　the　world
around　us　that　would　have　been　otherwise　unobserved　and　thus　not　enjoyed。
Perhaps　our　consciousness　will　permit　us　to　appreciate　the　physical　motions
we　engage　in　when　we　efficiently　change　a　tire。
When　Condition　N　occurs　coupled　with　Prefer…not…to　Programming；　we　will
experience　one　of　two　possible　effects　depending　on　whether　our
consciousness　is　preoccupied　with　the　matter。　If　I　know　air　is　leaking　slowly
from　a　tire　and　the　service　station　is　one　block　away；　I　will　experience　shortterm
pleasure　if　the　tire　takes　me　to　the　service　station。　However；　if　my
consciousness　is　not　at　all　concerned　with　the　tires；　the　fact　that　the　tire　does
not　go　flat　has　no　effect　on　my　feelings　of　pleasure　or　suffering。　Hence；
Prefer…not…to　Programming　offers　either　short…term　pleasure　or　no　effect　on
one’s　feelings。
Diagram　2　shows　that　no　frustration　or　suffering　is　possible　in　a　life　situation
that　has　Preferential　Programming。　Prefer…not…to　Programming　（Condition　P）
and　Prefer…to　Programming　（Condition　N）　do　not　produce　either　suffering　or
pleasure。　When　we　enjoy　Preferential　Programming；　all　happenings　just　pass
by　as　part　of　our　here　and　now　　just　like　birds　flying　across　the　sky。　Preferto
Programming　with　Condition　P　brings　us　pleasure。
If　all　four　conditions　are　equally　probable；　two　of　the　four　will　have　no　effect
on　our　feelings；　one　of　the　four　will　bring　us　pleasure；　and　one　will　bring
either　no　effect　or　will　bring　pleasure。
The　addictive　Programming　shown　in　Diagram　1　indicates　that　the　likelihood
of　suffering　exceeds　that　of　pleasure　if　all　four　conditions　are　equally
probable。　With　Preferential　Programming；　we　have　vastly　improved　the
pleasure…suffering　ratios。　Happiness；　which　is　more　or　less　continuous
pleasure；　is　not　a　real　possibility。　Based　on　our　simplified　theoretical　model；
here　are　the　improved　odds　you　get　with　each　addiction　you　can　uplevel　to　a
preference：

Since　Preferential　Programming　can　insulate　us　from　the　“downs”　in　life；　we
are　then　free　to　enjoy　only　the　“ups。”　This　type　of　programming　is
characteristic　of　the　Love　Center　of　Consciousness　and　the　Cornucopia
Center　of　Consciousness。　Since　a　mature　adult　in　these　higher　consciousness
levels　will　have　many　preferential　circuits；　the　opportunities　for　pleasure　are
continuous　or　almost　continuous。　For　happiness　is　the　continuous　or　almost
continuous　experience　of　getting　what　you　are　willing　to　accept。
When　our　bioputers　instantly　scan　the　actions　and　words　of　all　of　the
people　around　us　in　terms　of　the　degree　of　threat　or　assistance　to　realizing　our
Addictive　Programming；　real　love　is　impossible。　Real　love；　of　course；　flows
from　the　unconditional　acceptance　of　another　person。　The　love　that　is　most
mon　in　our　culture　is　the　illusion　of　love　in　which　I　can　love　you　only　to
the　extent　that　you　do　not　threaten　my　addictions　and　to　the　extent　that　you
help　me　realize　my　addictive　desires。　I　am　trapped　in　the　illusion　that　I　can
love　you　only　to　the　degree　that　you　help　me　obtain　Addictive　Desire；
Condition　P；　and　Addictive　Desire；　Condition　N；　happenings！　As　soon　as　you
begin　to　hinder　rather　than　help　me　with　my　addictions；　this　conditional　type
of　love　immediately　goes　out　the　window！
Real　love　is　possible　when　I　reprogram　my　bioputer　with　Preferential
Programming。　I　can　then　unconditionally　accept　everything　you　do　or　say　
regardless　of　whether　I　am　willing　to　do　or　say　the　same　things　myself。　For
when　I　have　Prefer…to　or　Prefer…not…to　Programming；　there　is　nothing　you　can
do　that　enables　me　to　make　myself　feel　frustration　or　suffering。　But　whenever
you　happen　to　play　a　part　in　increasing　the　probability　of　Condition　P　when　I
have　Prefer…to　Programming；　I　can　regard　you　as　helping　me　find　pleasure　in
life。　In　other　words；　with　Preferential　Programming；　there　is　no　way　I　can
“lose”　and　there　is　definitely　a　way　that　I　can　“win。”　And　the　“winning”　will
occur　more　and　more　as　my　consciousness　dwells　in　the　Love　Center　and　in
the　Cornucopia　Center。
When　you　have　Preferential　Programming　in　almost　all　areas　of　your　life；
your　programming　will　create　a　peaceful；　loving　world　for　you　to　live　in。　The
days　are　past　when　your　Conscious…awareness　was　dominated　by　emotionbacked
fears　or　desires。　You　live　in　the　here　and　now。　You　live　in　a　warm
Ocean　of　loving　and　caring。　You　have　gradually　converted　your　perception　of
people　and　things　around　you　from　a　subject…object　basis　to　a　cognitive
framework　of　love　and　acceptance。　By　continually　living　with　the
programming　that　yields　happiness；　contentment；　and　joy；　you　open　up　the
possibility　for　an　even　further　step　in　consciousness　growth。
BLISS　PROGRAMMING
The　ultimate　state　in　the　Living　Love　Way　to　Higher　Consciousness　is
generated　by　“Bliss　Programming。”　The　primary　characteristic　of　Bliss
Programming　is　that　the　feelings　of　continuous　happiness　or　bliss　are　not
related　to　any　outside　happenings。　In　other　words；　Condition　P　（in　which　the
desired　or　preferred　thing　does　occur）；　or　Condition　N　（in　which　a　desired　or
preferred　thing　does　not　occur）　are　irrelevant　to　one’s　continuous　happiness
or　bliss。
When　your　consciousness　is　in　the　Conscious…awareness　Center；　you　witness
the　drama　of　your　life　from　a　deep；　calm　place　within。　On　the　drama　level
where　your　body　and　mind　are　agreeing　with　others；　disagreeing　with　others；
earning　money；　making　love；　etc。；　you　still　have　Preferential　Programming。
But　this　is　all　seen　as　“drama。”　It　is　like　watching　your　life　on　a　movie
screen。　You　play　your　part　as　an　actor　in　the　great　cosmic　play　in　which　your
body　and　mind　and　my　body　and　mind　（as　well　as　everybody　else’s）　interact
on　this　stage　we　call　the　world。　But　the　real　you　is　your　Consciousawareness。
So　you　witness　whatever　is　going　on　in　the　drama　without　fear　or
desire　　without　any　circuitry　that　could　make　you　vulnerable　to　emotional
ups　and　downs。　When　you　go　to　a　movie；　you　can　watch　the　beautiful
happenings　or　the　horrendous　happenings　　and　just　enjoy　the　entire　show。　If
those　things　were　happening　to　you；　you　would　be　on　an　up…and…down　rollercoaster
experience　of　pleasure　and　suffering。　But　when　you　see　them　on　a
movie　screen；　they’re　just　so　much　interesting　stuff　going　by　for　your
perception　and　enjoyment。
In　a　similar　fashion；　when　your　consciousness　is　in　the　Sixth　Center；　you　just
witness　the　drama　of　your　life　and　that　of　everyone　else。　When　you　are　in　this
Center　on　a　fairly　continuous　basis；　there　arises　within　you　a　tremendous
feeling　of　well…being　and　joy。　You　are　filled　to　brimming　with　awe　and
gratitude　in　the　ecstatic　knowledge　of　the　inherent　goodness　of　life。　Thus　the
Sixth　Center　of　Consciousness　can　be　regarded　as　an　intermediate　stepping
stone　in　which　your　body　and　mind　may　opera
