intelligent way。 He ran from the tigers and he even scrambled down the
cliff while hanging onto a vine。 And having done this； he remained fully in
the here and now to enjoy whatever life offered him。 Although death was
only minutes away； he did not let thoughts of the future terrify him。 After
doing everything he could do； he used his precious consciousness to fully
enjoy every moment of his life。
There is a saying； “A coward dies a thousand deaths； a brave man only one。”
For all of us； death is a part of our future。 But we do not have to bee
what the existentialists refer to as the “living dead。”
We can always find things we can magnify to threaten our security； sensation；
and power addictions。 Or we can consciously perform whatever action is
needed and then turn our attention to enjoying everything we have to enjoy。
And we always have enough to be happy if we are enjoying what we do have
and not worrying about what we don’t have。
FIFTH PATHWAY
I take full responsibility here and now for everything I experience； for it
is my own programming that creates my actions and also influences the
reactions of people around me。
Whenever you are unhappy； your emotions are telling you that people and
things are not fulfilling the addiction patterns you have programmed into your
bioputer。 But you usually do not talk to yourself in this realistic way。
Instead； you blame your unhappiness on somebody or something outside of
you。 You say things like； “Mary makes me jealous；” or； “Bill makes me
mad。” But what is really happening is that someone is doing things that do
not conform with the patterns of your addictions and your addictions are
making you unhappy。 When you take full responsibility here and now for all
of your feelings and for everything that happens to you； you never again
blame the people and situations in the world outside of you for any unhappy
feelings that you have。 You realize that it is an evasion to blame “others。”
You’ve been doing it to yourself！
You can stop being a mechanical； puter…like person who views himself as
“pushed around” by the world when you realize that only you can “push”
yourself。 You begin to see the connection between your emotional
programming and your suffering。 You start doing something about it which
means reprogramming yourself。
Your mind creates your universe。 Your expectations； demands； hopes； fears；
addictions； motivations； past experience； your language system； your
individual accumulation of ideas； theories； and intellectual stuff； your
emotions； the structure and functioning of your nervous system and the
feedback from your entire body all interact in a plex way to produce your
perceptions the “picture” you create from the energies you receive through
your various senses from people and things around you。 Your perceptions are
thus a joint phenomenon of the observer and the observed。
You receive a feedback from the people and things around you that
continually modifies your processing of ining sensory data。 For example；
a loving person lives in a loving world。 As loving individuals flow through
their moment…to…moment lives； their gentle； accepting consciousness is
mirrored by the people around them。 As the Proverbs remind us； “A soft
answer turneth away wrath。”
Similarly； a hostile person lives in a hostile world。 If you go about with
rockness inside you； if you view others as petitive to you； if you have a
thin surface politeness with instant anger； ridicule； and antagonism when
things don’t go your way； you will create people around you that have exactly
those characteristics。 In other words； your actions create the reactions of
people around you except when you are with people living in the Fourth （or
higher） Center of Consciousness。 Conscious beings remain loving and
centered no matter how tense the drama around them。
The world thus tends to be your mirror。 A peaceful person lives in a peaceful
world。 An angry person creates an angry world。 A helpful person generates
helpful； loving energy in others。 An unfriendly person should not be surprised
when he or she meets only people who sooner or later respond in an
unfriendly way。 A happy person finds the world filled with happy people
for even unhappy people experience temporary happiness and joy when they
are with a genuinely happy and joyous person！
Sometimes people mirror you but with a reverse image。 When you are
addicted to one side of a polarity； you can create the opposite polarity around
you。 For example； if you are pulsively and addictively neat and orderly；
others around you will tend to be more sloppy than usual。 If； on the other
hand； you are addictively sloppy； you can create neatness responses around
you。 The polarity of your programming may evoke an opposite ego response
in the people with whom you interact。
As you grow in consciousness； you begin to realize the hundreds of ways in
which you create the consciousness of everyone around you。 And； of course；
they reciprocally play a part in determining the contents of your moment…tomoment
consciousness。 This feedback of consciousness offers exquisite
cosmic humor when you clearly see what is really happening 。 。 。
As you understand your polarities and free yourself； you begin to tune in to
everyone in their deeper levels of being where we are alike and experience
oneness together。 When you free yourself of your addictions； you help to free
others of their addictions。
Your predictions and expectations are thus self…fulfilling。 Since your
consciousness creates your universe； all you have to do to change your world
is to change your consciousness！ It’s the only way to live in a beautiful；
joyous world。 As you learn to use the Twelve Pathways to bee a more
loving； conscious being； you will find yourself living in an Ocean of loving；
conscious beings。 Without trying to change others； you will be acting in a
way that is maximally effective in helping others bee more loving and
conscious。
SIXTH PATHWAY
I accept myself pletely here and now and consciously experience
everything I feel； think； say； and do （including my emotion…backed
addictions） as a necessary part of my gr
