municate your deepest feelings。 You don’t need to lay judgments on
people or prove them wrong。 You just talk about your own consciousness。
Instead of； “You are horrible and I don’t want to ever see you again；” you can
say； “You’ve put me in touch with one of my addictions； and right now I feel
so angry at you I don’t want to be with you。” When you just talk about your
own consciousness； you give both yourself and the other person a better
chance to work through the addictive programming that produces the illusion
of separateness。
The Ninth Pathway suggests that you give yourself a short period of time to
work through the emotion caused by your addiction。 But if you are at the
beginning of your consciousness growth； you may find it more important to
municate quickly so that your relationships are always “up front。”
Remember； hiding separates； openness unites。
As you grow into higher consciousness； you will bee aware of the many
ways in which you have been involved in plex role playing； with hidden
“shoulds” and “shouldn’ts” that create plicated patterns of demanding
and expectation。 You can work effectively toward the “us” space when you
genuinely and openly municate your feelings and reveal the security；
sensation； and power dance that you have been doing。 You will find that you
can usually cut through these ensnaring dramas by expressing your
preferences clearly to yourself and others。 You will realize that open
munication of your innermost feelings helps your ego （and the egos of
other people） to get free of addictive programming which in the long run only
produces unhappiness and alienation。
EIGHTH PATHWAY
I feel with loving passion the problems of others without getting
caught up emotionally in their predicaments that are offering them
messages they need for their growth。
All your emotional problems are created by your addictions。 Your growth
into higher consciousness consists of being free of these traps。 When you
interact with people who are still involved in this automatic puter…like
emotional programming； it is important that you learn to feel their problems
with loving passion； but without getting caught up emotionally in their
predicaments。 passionate understanding yes； pity and miseration
no。
passion means that when you empathize with the predicaments of other
people； you silently send out the vibration； “Yes； I know。 I’ve been there too。
It’s OK to feel the way you do however； try to see that it’s all drama。 Life
always has its ‘tigers’ and we do what we can about them。 But above all；
let’s be sure to continuously enjoy the ‘strawberries。’ There are always
enough strawberries to enjoy our here and now if we don’t put all of our
attention on the tigers！”
passion means that you understand the duality and separation they are
creating in themselves by rejecting what is here and now in their lives but
you do not get caught up in their poignant drama。 passion means that
you realize that you can do the most for other people when you stay centered
and high and loving whenever you are around them for they are playing out
their addictions； suffering because of them； and hopefully picking up the
messages life is offering them。 passion means that you love and serve
them from a clear love space； and not from a pulsiveness or guilt
motivated by your remaining security； sensation； or power addictions。
You learn not to give gifts that you cannot emotionally afford to give。 When
you resent helping someone； this creates obligations； duality； and separation。
You cannot psychologically afford to give such help； and the recipient cannot
afford to receive it。 The price in personal distance and separation is too high
if you give to avoid a feeling of “guilt” or from a “should” or “ought”
motivation。
When you help someone because of a feeling of obligation or duty rather than
free…flowing love； you may find yourself resenting the person for needing
your help。 These negative feelings can prevent you from being sensitive to
his or her real here…and…now needs； and doing or saying what would really be
helpful。 Very often just being in a loving space with a person as you listen to
him or her is more helpful than any advice you could give。
When you can “help” someone with a feeling of love and oneness you just
do it because it feels good to you。 When you feel oneness with another； there
is no giver or receiver there’s just us here。 It’s like one hand washing
another。 You are just letting energy flow through you。
When you are with someone who is trapped in the suffering caused by
addictions； you use this as an opportunity to work on your consciousness。
The greatest thing you can do for “others” is to remain happy and loving
when you are with them。 You do not get caught up as a supporting actor no
matter how tragic the role they are playing in the drama of their life。 It’s their
thing to play this role。 They probably chose this role （either consciously or
unconsciously） and are clinging to it。 The best way to give them a chance to
free themselves from their addictive trap is for you to avoid getting caught up
emotionally in the “stuff” that they are taking so seriously。 They are not that
“stuff” with which they are identifying。 Behind all that； here we are。
As the Law of Higher Consciousness suggests； the game is to “Love
Everyone Unconditionally Including Yourself。” As you begin to increase
the number of people for whom you feel unconditional love； you will be
aware of the many security； sensation； and power dramas that each of them is
busily playing out。 You realize that you cannot； in practice； have enough time
and energy to love everyone you meet if you have a “bleeding heart”
response to the heap of problems people are creating in their lives。
Your life works best when you love； serve； and flow your loving energy not
from a lower consciousness motivation of “I am helping you；” or “I will save
you；” but simply from the awareness that “the universe gave this energy to me
and it feels good to pass it along。” As you bee more conscious； your
energy will increase。 And also； as you bee more consciou
