Foreword
Millions of years ago when our animal ancestors had to survive in the jungle；
it was necessary to have an instantly effective fight or flight mechanism。
When a tiger was about to spring； an automatic emotional response was a life
saver。 A nervous shock was needed to squirt adrenalin into the blood so that
muscles became jet powered。 Emotional alarms were needed to mand
full attention。 When a tiger was ready to jump； there was no time to admire
the beautiful sunset。 As a jungle survival mechanism； our animal ancestors
were programmed for automatic duality automatic feelings of otherness；
threat； and paranoia。 Survival required instant domination of consciousness
to meet the perils of the jungle。
We are the pioneers in the evolution of human consciousness。 It was only
about 10；000 years ago that our ancestors built the first cities。 As civilization
grew； survival no longer depended on the instant fight or flight of the jungle。
Survival and happiness now depend on tuning in to the overall situation
involving ourselves； the people around us； and the total environment of the
here and now。 Perceptiveness； wisdom； and oneness are now the ingredients
of effective and happy living。 But our bioputers are still programmed for
jungle fight or flight for a fast release of adrenalin into the blood stream；
and for rapid heartbeat for automatic anger and fear。 In our social
interactions； our consciousness magnifies molehills and makes them into
mountains and this constant distortion destroys our energy； our insight； and
our ability to love。
Thus survival in the jungle meant that we had to be programmed for instant
paranoia instant fear instant anger instant perception of duality。
Survival in our world today means that we must have instant perceptions of
oneness of love of passion with everyone and understanding of
everything around us。 When we learn to cut through our paranoid jungle
programming； we are on our way to higher consciousness and happiness。
Evolution is now working to remedy this primitive jungle alarm wiring in our
brain that tends to hold us on lower consciousness levels。 Paranoid； dualistic
individuals who cannot love themselves and others tend to get heart trouble；
ulcers； other psychosomatic diseases； are accident…prone； etc。 Perhaps in
100；000 years； through the ruthless survival of the fittest； humans may have
nervous systems that are automatically structured to produce instant insights
that facilitate love and oneness。 But that doesn’t help you and me。 We need
the Living Love Way to show us how to live in higher consciousness as soon
as possible to override our jungle programming so that we can enjoy living
here and now。
We have escaped from the domination of instincts （inflexible unlearned
behavior） that guides animals through their daily life situations。 Since the
young human is not provided with a full repertoire of automatic fixed
responses； we are unable to independently cope with life for a number of
years after birth。 This long period of plasticity and openness to learning
plex life guidance patterns helps us avoid fixed preprogrammed behavior。
For example； this long nurturing period lets us learn plex language
systems and our flexibility is such that we can learn to municate in
Swahili as easily as in English or any other language。
Instead of a plete pattern of animal…type instincts to provide survival
responses to life situations； the young child uses ego mechanisms backed by
hair…trigger emotions to develop security； sensation； and power magnification
of the moment…to…moment sensory inputs。 Our personal development into
fulfilling； happy lives （as well as the progression of civilization beyond the
dangerous power consciousness） depends on our getting free of our egobacked；
subject…object； me…them； security…sensation…power hang…ups。
It may be helpful to see this progression of consciousness in outline form as
follows：

The bioputer with which you are equipped is the most remarkable
instrument in the universe。 Your only problem is to learn to use it properly。 It
is capable of handling two million visual inputs and one hundred thousand
auditory inputs at any one time。 Your bioputer operates continually
throughout all of its parts and is capable of making millions of simultaneous
putations。 It operates with enormous power primarily on unconscious
levels with only a tiny proportion of its activity rising to the level of
consciousness。 The conscious level of your bioputer is analogous to the
print…out of the man…made puters。 Your journey into higher
consciousness is a matter of your learning how to properly program your
remarkable bioputer。 When you really learn to operate your exquisite
mechanism； you will be able to fully realize your potential for a happy life。
A wonderful thing about life is that it is naturally good。 Life is set up to work
to produce love； fulfillment； and happiness continuously。 However； various
situations during your first years of life conditioned you in the methods of
consciousness which continually generate unhappiness in your life。 Yet every
current experience can aid you in your growth toward higher consciousness if
you know how to use it。
This Handbook will explain how you have been creating the experiences that
you have。 It will show you exactly what to do to break out of the traps in
your mind that are the cause of all the unhappiness that you have experienced
in your life！ When you apply the Methods in th
