feeling and keep hunting for phrases that trigger strong feelings。 When you
find a phrase that intensifies your feelings and makes you cry； keep repeating
it over and over until it no longer brings a response。 Find other phrases and
wear them out。 Then go back to test again their ability to trigger strong
emotions。
Remember； you must really want to do it。 When you reprogram； don’t
hesitate to yell to yourself； to beat a pillow； to clench your fists and teeth； to
pound on a bed or table； or do anything else that gives notice to your ego and
your rational mind that you are firmly determined to change your
programming。 Remember that many of these addictions have been operating
in your bioputer for ten； twenty； thirty or more years； and it is going to
take a lot of determination and work on your part to get them reprogrammed
so that you are no longer automatically irritated by certain situations。
It is important to use reprogramming phrases which “feel right” to you。
Reprogramming phrases should represent new insights you have gained while
examining yourself and the situation which you found upsetting。 By using the
Pathways or the Centers of Consciousness； you may e to realize； for
instance； that being criticized is not really a threat to you or harmful in any
way。 You may begin to perceive criticism as valuable feed back which may
help you improve your performance。 To reinforce this new attitude toward
criticism and make it a permanent part of your programming； it is valuable to
reprogram yourself with such phrases as “Criticism is really useful； not
harmful” or “I can wele criticism” or “I don’t need to get defensive
when someone criticizes me。”
If you use reprogramming phrases that don’t “feel right” or that you do not
consciously believe； you may find yourself experiencing increased resistance
as you use the phrase。 Instead of feeling relieved； free； and more confident as
you reprogram yourself； you may feel increasingly tense and upset。 If so； it is
best to listen to the arguments your mind is ing up with in opposition to
the reprogramming phrase and use the other methods or repeat the procedure
on pages 98 and 99 （A LIFE SAVER） to get additional insights。 It may be
you are not ready to drop a certain demand。 You might change the
reprogramming phrase slightly into one that feels more appropriate to you。
thus if “I don’t have to have a lover” doesn’t feel right； you might try “I don’t
need so…and…so to be happy” or “I don’t need to feel hurt when I’m not with
so…and…so。”
Don’t get ahead of yourself into a phony space。 Wait until you really feel
ready to drop a demand or an unconstructive way of reacting to a situation。
When you realize you don’t really need something you thought you needed；
you will find it easier to drop the addictive demand for it。 When you have
clearly seen the absurdity of your old programming； effective reprogramming
phrases will spontaneously e to you。
Here are some sample reprogramming instructions to your bioputer that
you might find helpful：
“Life is my teacher。”
“I am not my addictive programming。”
“I am lovable。”
“I am the master of my life。”
“I don’t need to control people。”
“I can accept what is。”
“I don’t need other people’s approval。”
“It’s okay to make a mistake。”
“It’s okay to be me。”
“I don’t need to hide。”
“I have nothing to fear。”
“I can let go and just be。”
“I love myself。”
“It’s okay to make a fool of myself in public。”
“Rational mind stop sending me that stuff。”
“I am enough。”
“I accept my here and now。”
“I don’t have to reject myself when I （whichever applies） am angry； make a
mistake； feel jealous； am not loving。”
“It’s OK to be right where I am。”
“I am getting free。”
“I don’t have to be a robot。”
“I don’t have to be uptight when this happens。”
“I don’t have to get caught up in his/her programming。”
“I can love him/her just the way he/she is。”
“It’s all US。”
“I don’t need （whichever applies） outside acceptance； approval； respect； love；
special attention； romantic love； close relationships； to control； to manipulate；
to be addicted； to be afraid。”
Make up your own phrases to fit your situation。 As you bee expert in
reprogramming； you may be surprised by its effectiveness。 With persistence
and determination； you can reprogram all of your addictions no matter how
long…standing or how strong they are。
In one Consciousness Focusing session you cannot wipe out all your
undesired programming from the past years because you are usually upset
about only one thing at a time。 You can only reprogram that which is making
you upset here and now。 So talk specifically to yourself only about the
problem that is making you feel bad right now。 Suppose you relied on
someone to help you and he forgot to do what he had agreed to do。 You have
made yourself angry。 Now talk to yourself specifically about that situation： “I
don’t have to feel angry when I feel people aren’t meeting agreements。” “I
don’t need to put myself through all of this turmoil。” “People don’t have to
live up to my models。” “I can enjoy what I do have。”
Talk very precisely to yourself； for the feelings you experience when you are
upset are the feelings that will be programmed in some degree into your
future。 Say things like； “I can reprogram this addiction。 I don’t need to get
uptight over this situation。 It’s just my programming that is making me
uptight。 I can change that programming。 That programming doesn’t serve me
in any way。 I don’t need it for anything。 I don’t need to hold on to that
emotional reaction。 Love is more important。 I am creating this suffering in
my mind。 It’s all in my mind。”
As a way of exploring your suffering （Step 1）；
you may wish to consciously play out your old programming。
It is helpful to distinguish between discharging old programming and creating
new programming。 When you consciously relive a disturbing situation and
scream； “I hate you； I hate you！” with the full intention of getting rid of such
garbage from your mind； you are not reinforcing negative programming； you
are freeing yourself from
