and it feels good to pass it along。” As you bee more conscious； your
energy will increase。 And also； as you bee more conscious； less of it will
be drained by your own security； sensation； and power addictions。 You will
then liberate a continuous stream of energy which will flow into loving and
serving people around you。
NINTH PATHWAY
I act freely when I am tuned in； centered； and loving； but if possible I
avoid acting when I am emotionally upset and depriving myself of the
wisdom that flows from love and expanded consciousness。
When you are emotionally upset； you energize the addictive patterns of other
people who are also caught in the lower levels of consciousness。 They will
mirror your uptightness； and will not be tuned in； perceptive； and able to fully
understand what you are trying to tell them。 They will reflect your inner
conflicts； for you will trigger their addictions and this will interfere with
effective munication。 The things you do or say when you have stirred up
your emotions and the emotions of other people will be handled in a way that
is destructive of peace； love； and oneness。 You may be able to pull a power
trip to make something happen but it will not feel right to all concerned。
And the future consequences of your actions will cause greater future
conflicts。
Bad vibrations； like the measles； are contagious。 Every time you interact with
anger； resentment； or fear； you add a little reinforcement to the addictions
from which we wish to be liberated。 You know the story of the man who
bawled out his friend； and the friend went home and fought with his wife；
who spanked her child； who then kicked the cat。
Now let’s turn it around for good vibrations are also catching。 Let’s be the
man who plimented his friend； and the friend went home and kissed his
wife； who was so extra loving to her child that he gave the cat some milk
without even being asked！
To avoid adding to the total sum of the bad vibrations in the world； unless you
are in physical danger； wait until you are tuned in； centered； and loving before
you act。 Then your perception and wisdom may lead you to choose a more
effective course of action。 But even if you do the same thing that you
originally intended to do； it now has a better chance of success because the
consciousness level of everyone concerned is elevated。 Instead of acting out
a drama of addictions； you are； here and now； municating as a tuned…in
human being telling what you feel and what you prefer。
The Seventh Pathway and the Ninth Pathway put you in an interesting
predicament。 The Seventh Pathway tells you to municate your deepest
feelings； and the Ninth Pathway says for you to withhold your
munication； if possible； until you are perceptive； centered； and loving。
What this means is that you are always ready to be pletely open and to
municate with people； but if you are caught in the grip of a disturbing
emotion； you give yourself a little time to work on your addiction rather
than acting out the fight…or…flight feeling you have triggered。
A part of your growth into higher consciousness will be associated with how
perceptively you handle these two Pathways。 You can use the Ninth Pathway
to hide or you can use it to delay your responses to people long enough to
give the other Pathways an opportunity to rescue you from the negative
emotions you have triggered。 Always remember that you cannot put off for
long your making an up…front munication of your deepest feelings if you
wish to be conscious； perceptive； and loving。 Unexpressed feelings act like a
cancer in your brain that malignantly spreads warping your perceptions and
bringing you alienation and suffering。 You thus learn to use the Seventh and
Ninth Pathways to create more and more aliveness and beauty in all of your
relationships with other people。
Chapter 8
Discovering My Conscious Awareness
The Twelve Pathways give you a plete solution to every emotional
problem in your life。 Whenever you experience unfortable emotional
waves； you will find that the Pathways are always ready to steer you around
the rocks into the peaceful waters。
TENTH PATHWAY
I am continually calming the restless scanning of my rational mind in
order to perceive the finer energies that enable me to unitively merge
with everything around me。
When our wonderful bioputers are dominated by our addictions； our
consciousness is scattered and harried。 Our consciousness is then like a
television set that drifts from the channel； that turns off when we want to use
it； that sometimes won’t stay turned off when we wish to sleep； that is subject
to fading； and that will tune in only the lower channels。 We would not
tolerate this type of performance from a television set； but unfortunately most
of us are so accustomed to the poor performance of our minds that we often
accept such inefficiency as “normal。”
What is meant when the Tenth Pathway tells you to calm the restless scanning
of your rational mind？ As you grow in awareness； you will begin to realize
that the activity of your rational mind is generally sparked by your security；
sensation； and power motivations。 You are trying to hold onto something you
do have； get something you don’t have； or avoid something you don’t want。
You discover how your rational mind has bee a pawn manded by
your ego to “rationalize” your security； sensation； and power demands and
expectations。 You begin to see that many of the “clever” things your rational
mind devises to say to other people just turn out to be separating and
alienating responses that keep you out of the “us” space。
As you lessen the heavy load of addictions you have been carrying； your
rational mind bees quieter and quieter； and you begin to increase your
insight and perceptiveness。 You begin to have a choice that was not available
before regarding the things that you say and do。 You begin to tune in to the
finer energies around you when the precious space on the screen of your
consciousness is not occupied by the emergency alarms triggered by your
addictive security； sensation； and power models of how the world should be。
