Introduction
Getting Free is a practice book. It is designed to help you experience the Living Love Methods
as presented in the Handbook to Higher Consciousness by Ken Keyes Jr. and The Methods
Work ..if you do! Getting Free helps you take time each day to focus your inner growth and to
gain experience and skill with the Living Love Methods.
We have found that it is the daily practice that enables you to become proficient in using the
Methods "on the spot" when an addiction is triggered. Knowing the Methods intellectually
doesn't make them effective in your life. Using them regularly is the only way to integrate them
into your daily experience.
As with any new skill, learning these Methods takes time and effort. With experience, you will
gain the skill necessary to use the Methods in any situation. Take the time to review your day.
It's the daily practice that reminds us of the incredible love that is available in each moment and
lets us see the addictive programming that would block our experience or that love.
Give yourself the gift of daily practice!

How to use this book

Schedule approximately 20 minutes (or more) each day to use your Getting Free book. Divide
that time equally into using both pages of each day's practice.
Each day's practice consists of two parts: on the first (left-hand) page, you review your day by
writing the emotions experienced in column one and write the number of the center/s you were
in. Then in the next column identify the addictions that triggered those emotions and identify
your positive intention behind that demand. In the third column write the reprogramming phrase
you would rather live with and say it ten times. The right-hand page is a practice in using one of
the six Living Love methods. There is also a space for you to record insights, to acknowledge
your growth and to write yourself a loving note.
As you do this daily practice, you're handling your addictions. Handling your addictions is a
simple three-step procedure:
1. Pinpoint your specific demand.
2. Take intellectual responsibility (by acknowledging that it is your addictive demand that is the
total, immediate, practical cause of the separation you are feeling).
3. Use a method to bring an emotional experience of freedom.
By listing your addictions and reprogramming phrases on the first page of your practice sheet
you begin to handle your addictions by pinpointing your specific demands and acknowledging
what you most want - your positive intention. It is also helpful to take a moment to use your own
personal way of intellectually taking responsibility, e.g., ''it is only my addictive programming
that is the cause of this anger that I feel.'' ''I take responsibility that it is my programming that is
creating this experience.''
The second page gives you an opportunity to further explore the use of one specific method in
handling your addiction.
Trust your own experience after you handle your addiction: it does not need to be any different
than it is! Some possible outcomes of handling your addiction may include:
A deeper acknowledgement of the suffering and separation that you previously ignored,
i.e., a more intense experience of emotional pain.
A discovery of strong resistance to letting go of your addictive demand.
An awareness of your refusal to take responsibility for(or even see it as addictive) this
area of your emotional resistance
An awareness that you have suffered enough, and that continuing to hold on to the
addiction will only perpetuate your suffering and not really achieve your positive
intention.
A feeling of peace, love, inner strength and/or joy.
Your own unique experience.

Be patient with yourself as you use this Getting Free book and the Living Love methods. Part
of your journey is to witness the increasing beauty and perfection of yourself, RIGHT NOW,
exactly the way you are. You don't need to change yourself or uplevel an addiction to a
preference to be loveable- you are loveable just as you are with all of your addictions. The
6
Methods can help you to love yourself and to increase your choices of how you create your
experience of life.
The Methods Work If you do!

This is a sample sheet for pinpointing addictive demands. It is the first part of each day's
practice. On the opposite page is a review of how to pinpoint addictive demands.
I create the
Because my programming demands
experience of
Jealousy,
That Susan not pay so much attention to Dave
disgust
Andy not throw his dirty clothes on the floor.
Outrage, fury
Andy not walk out of the door when I tell him to pick up his
clothes.
Guilt
I not yell at Andy to pick up his clothes.
Embarrassment,
fear
I not spill wine on Sally's dress
indignation
My phone bill not be $450
I am lovable just the way I am.

Pinpointing your addictive demand.
The start each day's practice by taking a moment to stop and reflect on your day. Focus on one
incident in which you created separating emotions and pinpoint your specific addictive demand
by using this form:
I create the experience of ______________________________________________________
Because my programming demands _____________________________________________
This form will help remind you that it is your addiction that is the cause of your suffering. The
form is printed at the top of each day's first practice sheet.
I create the experience of..... (separating emotions)
It is easier to pinpoint your addictive demand when you identify which specific separating
emotion(s) you are feeling. General terms such as ''unhappy,'' ''tense'' or ''insecure'' keep you
from honestly focusing on what is happening inside you. ''Confusion,'' ''depression'' or a general
feeling of ''anxiety'' usually indicates multiple and/or conflicting addictive demands.
Use this list of specific separating emotions when you pinpoint your addictive demand:
fear
worry
anxiety
guilt
nervousness
horror
terror
disappointment
sadness
hurt
panic
embarrassment
grief
shame
apprehension
loneliness
jealousy
frustration
exasperation
boredom
disgust
impatience
anger
resentment
annoyance
irritation
hatred
rage
hostility
fury
disdain
indignation
''Because my programming demands....'' (what you want)

The easiest way to pinpoint your specific addictive demand is to focus on the exact moment
when you felt separating emotion(s). In that moment, what did you think had to be different in
your life? As you pinpoint your demand, recall your emotions as if that moment (or scene) was
happening right now. Use any of the following questions to help to pinpoint your demand:
In that situation:
What do you want? Not want?
How do feel he/she/it should be? shouldn't be?
What do you want him/her/it to be? or not be?
If a magic genie appeared at that moment, what one thing would you ask for (more wishes don't
count!)?
As you pinpoint your demand, you can make it more specific by:
Naming names (''John'' instead of ''some body'' or ''a person'').
Spelling out exactly how you want that person or situation or object or you to change (''ask me
to go to Bill's party'' is more specific than ''Love me'').
Pinpointing the time when you wanted something different (''Jim call me this afternoon'' is more
specific than ''Jim call me'').
If you focus on one scene you will find it easier to be specific. Focusing on specific addictions
8
can make it easier to get perspective and insight. Sometimes you will have more than one
demand triggered in succession. If you do, use the above form and list each demand separately.
The Methods Work if you do!

This is a completed sample sheet for the first part of each day's practice. After you write each
demand, and your positive intention, write a reprogramming phrase in the next column. On the
opposite page is a brief review of how to identify your Positive Intentions.
I create the
experience of
Because I choose to addictively demand
Id rather live with this reprogramming

Identifying Your Positive Intentions

Behind every addiction is a Positive Intention. Your positive intention is the internal
experience that you really want in a particular situation, behind the surface desire.
Your addiction is an unskilful way that you go about trying to achieve your positive intention.
So, for example, you might addictively demand that your lover want to go to the movies with
you tonight and you might feel angry because she/he doesn't want to go. Behind that addiction,
what you really want (your positive intention) is to feel close to that person!
A simple way to formulate your positive intention is to state: '' my positive intention is
to feel _____________), ''or '' by positive intention is to see myself as ________________. ''
Your positive intention is an internal experience.
When you have an addiction, here are some questions you can ask yourself to help you find your
positive intention:
What emotional experience did you think you could create by getting what you wanted?
What is the feeling you are really after?
Imagine you have gotten your demand fulfilled or satisfied. How would you be feeling?
Identifying your positive intention helps to open up alternative ways to achieve that intention.
You can more clearly see how your addictions are just ineffective, unskilful ways to help you
get feelings of peacefulness, security, self-respect, etc.
Here is a list of some possible positive intention. Add to the list as you discover more!

Practice-- and get free!

Each second sheet of this getting free book is designed for you to explore a
different way of using one of the Living Love Methods:
The Twelve pathways

Centers of Consciousness
Link the Suffering With the Addiction
The Catalyst
Consciousness Focusing
Instant Consciousness Doubler
Each sheet has its own directions, step by step, to use that Method. The practice sheets in the
earlier part of this book have more information about using each Method than later sheets. As
you use this Getting Free book, refer to The Methods Work if you do! for more information
about pinpointing addictive demands, formulating reprogramming phrases and using the
Methods.
Be patient with your self while learning the Methods. Practice with them. Open yourself to learn
to grow with them, as you discover yourself.
Acknowledge your growth and love yourself

11
At the bottom of the Methods practice sheet, there is a space for you to write yourself a love
note and acknowledge the ways in which you see your growth happening each day. You may
write as "mushy" a love note as you wish-- write to yourself as if you were your dearest, most
perfect lover. You are!
Take the time to complete this section.
It is by acknowledging and honouring our own individual process of growth that we retain
perspective on the "drama." There's no rush to get anywhere. The important thing is to love
yourself here and now -- just as you are--and then to share that love with those in your world.
Here are some ideas of what your can write about as you see yourself growing.
BEING more honest with yourself or someone else.
USING a Method.
HANDLING your addiction.
REMEMBERING that it is your addiction that causes your suffering.
BEING more aware of the programming that operates automatically.
BLAMING less or feeling the desire to love behind the addictive programming.
FEELING love or peacefulness or joy.
ASKING for what you want.
LETTING yourself experience your emotions more fully.
STAYING caught up for less time than in past situations.
STAYING CENTERED in a situation in which you used to get caught up.
BECOMING more aware of addictions.
PRACTICING in this Getting free book!
What do you do if you can't think of any ways in which you felt yourself growing? Love
Yourself! Exactly where you are. And, if you can't, then write the following to yourself: I love
you. You are doing the best you can with the programming you have
Remember ~
Be patient
With yourself
Using this Getting Free book is a process of discovering yourself. It's a way of
learning more about your programming and opening yourself to the realisation
that you are the master of your life.
You can enjoy your life ~ right now. You can live a life filled with love.
It's all up to you!
The Methods Workif you do!

This is the time to review your day and to note addictions that you triggered. After you write each addiction, identify
your Positive Intention/s and choose a reprogramming phrase to open yourself to the possibility of creating love and
acceptance in that scene. When you've completed this page, use the next page to apply a specific Method or Methods to
one or more of your addictive demands or situations in your life.

The Twelve Pathways

Using the Twelve Pathways as guidelines in any situation can help you gain insights and
calm your rational mind. At times you may find your mind wandering, you may feel
13
resistance to some or all of the Pathways or you may experience a little or no immediate
effect.
In the first column write a brief description of an incident in which you created separating
emotions. Picture that incident in your mind and say a Pathway or Pathways. Write the
number(s) of the Pathway(s) in the second column (the Pathways are printed on the inside front
cover). In the third column write what you experienced as you said the Pathway(s). Remember
that your experience is valid and perfect. Do these three steps for as many incidents as time
permits.

(Brief description)
Pathway(s)
Insights and experience of

saying the Pathway(s)
Say your favourite Pathways to remind you to love yourself.

Write your self a loving note and acknowledge how you see yourself growing today:

By using this method, you can get perspective on how your emotional experience of a
situation changes, depending upon the Centre of Consciousness you use to create your
experience.
Focus on a moment to day when you began to feel separating emotions. Now briefly and
objectively, describe what was happening when you triggered those emotions:
Your emotions point to which Center of Consciousness you are using to create your experience.
Circle the separating emotions you felt in the above scene and which Center(s) of Consciousness
were in.
Security: Fear, worry, anxiety, guilt, nervousness, horror, terror, disappointment, hurt,
panic, confusion, sadness, embarrassment, shame, grief, apprehension, loneliness, jealousy.
Sensation: frustration, disappointment, boredom, disgust, jealousy, exasperation,
impatience.
Power: Anger, resentment, annoyance, irritation, hatred, frustration, rage, hostility, fury,
indignation, impatience, jealousy, disdain, exasperation.
Now use your imagination! Relax and imagined you are in the situation you described above.
See the incident happening in the same way: imagine your emotional experience being
different. Write a description of how you could experience the scene through the Love Center.
Feel yourself experiencing love, inner peace, contentment and acceptance of yourself, the
situation and the people around you. You may want to include alternatives you can see when
you use this love filter.
REMEMBER: it is not what you

say or do that creates the Love
Center; it's how you feel inside!
You can say '' No'' from the Love
Center.
You may have felt the Love Center as you wrote that description, or you may be saying the
words without feeling the Love. Either way helps you to see there is a choice.
Write yourself a Love note, and list any insights and growth you see in yourself today:

In order to make the connection that it is your addiction that is causing your suffering (not
you, other people or events), you must first be aware of how you are suffering.
Choose a demand from the previous page and put a star buy it.
Using the list to the right as a guide, write the ways this addiction is making you suffer.
Make the list specific to your addiction, e.g., where is your body tense? From whom are you
feeling separate?
Rip-offs
Lacking love, being separate from
self and others.
Not appreciating what you do
have.
Having tenseness, tightness,
sickness in body.
Having low energy.
Always wanting more; never
having enough.
Spending time suffering.
Lacking sense of humour, feel life
as a '' problem,'' things feel
complicated.
Making changes:
Wasting energy, not having
enough energy.
Not seeing alternatives and
choices.
Unable to see things clearly,
perceptions distorted.
Lacking or blocking creativity and
spontaneity.
Having other people react to your
addictive spaces.
Feeling you have to manipulate or
push; feeling inflexible.
All of that suffering is caused by your addiction.
None of that suffering is caused by someone else, a situation or what you said or did.
Sometimes, becoming aware of how that addiction makes you suffer is all that you need to be
willing to up level the demand to a preference. At other times, you will hold on to the addiction.
You can love yourself either way!
Write yourself a loving note and remind yourself of the growing awareness you
experienced today:

To link the suffering with the addiction, you need to realize that it is your addictive
programming creating your suffering, not '' what is'' in your life. It is the emotional
resistance to '' what is '' that causes the suffering.
To get practice looking at ''what is'' in your life, use the chart below. Write a specific
addiction, then write ''what is'' - what you're emotionally resisting or rejecting. To do this,
use the same wording as in your addictive demand. Then add or drop the word ''not.'' Your
addictive demand is what you want; ''what is'' is what you have. See the examples below.
I Create
the experience of
Because my programming
demands
"What is"- I am emotionally

resisting
Anger
Sheila go to the store before

noon
Sheila not going to the store

before noon
Hurt sadness
Mark not say my legs are fat
Mark saying my legs are fat
Put as star by one of the above demands.

For that demand and '' what is,'' check any of the following you feel apply:
I know someone who didn't suffer with this particular '' what is.''
I was in a similar situation at another time and didn't suffer.
With different programming I wouldn't suffer over the above ''what is.''
Write yourself a loving note and acknowledge the growth that you experienced today:

Realizing that you can use preferential programming instead of addictive programming
will help remind you that it is your addictive demand causing your suffering, not the
outside event.
Using the list to the right as a guide, write how the same situation could be if you
experienced it as preferential programming; the scene doesn't change, just the programming.
Be specific, e.g., what could you enjoy in your here and now? Who would you be loving and
accepting and how would that feel?
As a preference
Enjoyment:
Feeling love and closeness with
self and others.
Appreciating and enjoying what
you do have.
Having a relaxed body.
Having high energy.
Feeling that what you do have is
enough.
Enjoying the now moment.
Seeing life with a sense of
humour; things feel simpler.
Making changes:
Directing energy into changing
what's changeable, plenty of
energy.
Seeing available alternatives,
choices.
Seeing things with perspective.
Freeing creativity and spontaneity.
Feeling open to new possibilities.
Following this practice, you may have upleveled your addiction to a preference; or you may
only intellectually understand how it could be a preference; or you may not conceive of how it
could be a preference. All of this helps you grow in awareness. You are totally lovable exactly
the way you are.
Write yourself a loving note, and list any insights you had today:

Combining methods
As you practice with the methods, you will discover which method or methods work best
for you. Sometimes you'll choose to use a combination of the methods.
Place a star by an addictive demand on the previous page.

Which Center(s) of Consciousness were you in when the demand was triggered?
List the ways you rip yourself off and make yourself suffer by holding on to this demand:
Write how it would be if you created your experience in that scene from the Love Center:
Keep the scene in your mind and say a pathway or several pathways. Write the number of
the pathway(s) and what you experienced as you said them.
Write yourself a Love note, and list the ways you see yourself growing today:
Do something nice for yourself today.

The Catalyst
You can use the Catalyst to help keep your mind calm throughout the day, and to enjoy
each moment more fully. The catalyst also can help you see how much your mind scans
and churns.
Look at the following and list. Check those situations you experienced today where you could
have used the Catalyst.
Waiting in line (for a meal, at the bank, at the store).
On your morning walk or run.
In the dentist's or doctor's office.
While the operator had you on ''hold.''
When your boss (or employee) disagreed with you.
When you were washing dishes.
During a television commercial.
When you're creating boredom.
When you couldn't get to sleep.
Cleaning house.
When waiting for someone.
When someone said something you didn't like hearing.
Other situations when the catalyst would be helpful:
Put yourself back in one of today's situations when you triggered separating emotions.
Visualize that scene: you entering it, everything that happened; visualize it as though it were
happening now. Now repeat the catalyst, silently or aloud, emphasizing successive words over
and over again for the next five minutes: ALL Ways Us Living Love, All WAYS us Living
Love, Always Ways US Living Love, Always Us LIVING Love, Always Us Living LOVE.
Keep the situation in the back of your mind. If your mind wanders, gently bring it back.
Write what you experienced while saying the Catalyst:
Give yourself a great big hug! Are there any special ways you learned to love yourself today?
Write yourself for a reminder of how you are learning to love yourself more each day:

Use the Instant Consciousness Doubler to help you expand your love and compassion.
Think of a situation today in which your friend, lover, co-worker or neighbor really ''got on
your nerves.'' briefly, describe what that person said or did:
Recall the last time you said or did or thought something similar. Write that:
Get in touch with that place in you that feels loving and accepting. Feel how, based on your
programming, you are saying, doing or thinking what you needed to say or do. Feel
compassion for yourself and your programming. Now expand that love and compassion to
include that other person. Write how that feels:
Here is another way to use the ICD: Take a deep breath. Imagine that you are the other
person with his/her programming; put yourself in his/her shoes. Let yourself experience how
you would have said or done exactly the same thing if you had his/her programming. Feel
compassion for all of us acting like robots to our programming until we see that we have a
choice. Write how it feels to be in that other person's shoes:
See if you can guess what that person's positive intention was in that situation. Write how
you might have felt or acted differently had you realized their possible positive intention at
the time.
Write yourself a loving note. Write how you see yourself growing today, and give
yourself a big hug!

The Twelve Pathways

The pathways are guidelines that can help you calm your mind and gain insight. When you
say them you also put general, loving, accepting programming into your mind.
For this practice, use an addictive demand with the pathways. Put a star by an addiction you
wrote on the previous page.
Choose one pathway you feel applies to this situation and write the number of that pathway
(the pathways are on the inside front cover).
Say your addictive demand and that pathway alternately four times.
Write what you experienced as you said the pathway and the addictive demand.
State your positive intention and say that pathway alternately four times.
Write what you experienced as you said the pathway and the positive intention.
Memorize
the Pathways
so that you have
them with you
everywhere,
always.
You can remind yourself to use the pathway when ever that demand is triggered, or
whenever a situation occurs which often triggers that demand.
Say the sixth pathway to yourself. Say it all day tomorrow as a background to your day. Say
it at least 100 times!
Write yourself a loving note and remind yourself of the ways you're opening your heart
more:

This method will help you to look at the choice you have of which Center of Consciousness
you use to create your experience.
Select a time today when you felt upset or uncomfortable. Write a one- or two-sentence
description of what happened when you triggered the emotions:
Circle which Center(s) of Consciousness you were in when you created your experience.
Imagine the above situation is happening right now. Use your imagination to experience the
fifth center - Cornucopia - in these ways:
First look at the situation as it happened with the emotional reaction you created. Now, write
how you could experience that as a lesson, which is part of the abundance of your life. This
experience of the Cornucopia Center could include: the gentleness or intensity of the lesson,
appreciation that you created the lesson with the particular people involved, and/or
welcoming the lesson and the growth that you can experience by it.
Security
Sensation
Power:
Now, imagine that you are in the same situation as it happened, and instead of creating
separating emotions you create joy and a feeling of having more than you need to be happy.
Relax and write a list of the ''strawberries'' - all the things that are there for you to enjoy.
Write how you could experience that situation by appreciating the '' Cornucopia '' life is
offering you.
Be gentle with yourself! If you can see the "strawberries'' and not feel the appreciation, that's
okay. Enjoy yourself with whatever you feel.
Write yourself a note about the strawberries of being you.

Each time you hold on to an addiction, there is a real or imaginary "payoff" you think
you'll get. Identifying these payoffs will help you be aware of why you're hanging on to
that demand.
Put a star buy a demand on the previous page.

Using the list on the right as a general guide, write the specific payoffs for holding on to
your demands and those emotions. Be specific, e.g., what fantasy do you enjoy, who will
give you attention:
Payoffs
Get to be right, feel superior.
Get attention, comfort, sympathy,
camaraderie, get to be a martyr.
Avoid taking responsibility for
How I feel! I can blame _________.
Excuse for poor performance;
People won't reject me.
People think I'm a good _________.
People won't think I am _________.
Feel safe and familiar.
Enjoy the fantasy.
They will make it up to me.
Sense of intensity.
Get to be alone.
I'll change; he/she/they'll change.
Take a deep breath and relax. Be with what you're feeling. Check any insights you have from
looking at the payoffs:
I don't really get the Payoff(s) (e.g., the person doesn't change).
When I get a payoff it only lasts a short time and then I suffer again.
The pay-off is an illusory ''gain" because it doesn't bring the positive intention I most want.
The payoff actually prevents me from achieving my positive intention.
Love yourself as you become aware of the programming that makes you suffer.
Write yourself a loving note and any insights you got today:

The four steps in this graphic representation of linking the suffering with the addiction will
help you heighten your awareness so you can intellectually and emotionally make the
connection that it is your addiction that is the cause of your suffering.
Choose one incident in which you created separating emotions and use these four steps:
1. Explore your suffering. Look at the ways that your enjoyment of life is being ripped off:
2. Pinpoint your addiction:

I create the experience of________________________________________________________
because my programming demands________________________________________________
Look at what "what is'' in your life: I am emotionally resisting__________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
Realize that in this here and now moment " what is " cannot be changed by you in any way.
Without this addictive demand people with different programming can accept or enjoy "what is."
3. Make a choice: uplevel to a preference or hold on to the addiction. Write how you experience
''what is'' with preferential programming:
4. List your Payoffs for holding on to that demand:
When you hold on to the Payoffs, you perpetuate isolation, crystallized opinion and suffering.
You forgo involvement, wisdom and love.
Remember to love yourself as you gain awareness. You may intellectually see that it is your
addiction that causes yourself suffering before you will be willing to make that link emotionally.
Write the ways you see yourself in growing and opening up. And write yourself a Love
note:

Use Consciousness focusing when you want inner piece, love and freedom from your
addictive programming more than you want what you are demanding.
On the previous page, put a star by an addictive demand you feel you are ready to uplevel to
a preference.
Sometimes it takes formulating several phrases before you find one that feels right. Make
sure your phrase feels good, energizes you.
Write at least five reprogramming phrases related to the demand you choose:
Put a star by the reprogramming phrases that feels best to you.

Visualize the incident in which you triggered the demand, and use one of your
reprogramming phrases silently or aloud. With whatever degree of intensity you have, say it
over and over for several minutes.
Write how it felt to use that phrase:
Use this phrase tomorrow while you're walking, jogging or doing any kind of physical
activity.
Write yourself a loving reprogramming phrase below, and say it softly to yourself over and
over.
Acknowledge the ways you see yourself learning to love more today:
RememberUsing these methods is simply a means of opening your heart to the love and
beauty that exist in your life right now.
Chorus:
Thank you for my life

Thank you for my life
Each precious day

is a gift to me
And I can hardly believe

the beauty I see.
Thank you for my suffering

And the wholeness that it brings
Thank you for the trees in spring
As they're budding and flowering
Thank you for my frustrations
My succumbing to temptation
For my growth and the lack there of
That let me know I'm made of love
(Chorus )
Thank you for my range of feelings
For the unexpected healings
For the process of growth
For the love and hate 'cause I'll learn from both
Thank you for the lessons unending
For the power of surrendering
For boredom and waiting to be free
Thank you for creating this for me.
(Chorus)

The Twelve Pathways
Focusing your mind on the Pathways will help you to open up to the wisdom they contain.
Using them with an addictive demand will help you to remember the Pathways the next
time you are aware of the same or similar addictions and intentions.
Put a star by an addictive demand on the previous page.

Say your positive intention behind that demand and then slowly say the first Pathway; then
say the positive intention and the second path way; then say the positive intention and the
third Pathway; continue alternating your positive intention and Pathway for each of the
Pathways.
Write what you experienced as you said your positive intention and each of the Pathways,
e.g., insights, times when your mind wandered, calmness, resistance, new awareness:
Say the twelfth pathway or as a reminder to love yourself.

Write yourself a note filled with love and acknowledge the ways in which you are

This method will help you ''step back'' from the melodrama of your day, and provide you
with some perspective.
Stop the movie of your day by focusing on an incident in which you triggered separating
emotions. Give a two - or three - sentence description of what happened in the scene:
Your emotions and what you want indicate what Center of Consciousness you are using to
create your experience. Circle the Center of Consciousness you used to create your
experience of the incident.
SECURITY - main emotion: fear. Wanting physical or emotional security.

SENSATION -main emotions: boredom, frustration. Wanting more or different
sensations
POWER -main emotion: anger. Wanting to control or manipulate, or maintain and project
a role or image
Take a deep breath. Now mentally step back from the situation and create a drama using the
conscious awareness (6th) Center of Consciousness. You are now an impartial observer,
watching and not identifying with the character in the drama. Witness the scene moment - by
- moment without judging, analyzing, or generalizing or labeling what is happening. Enjoy

the drama! See it all as a perfect act in your life's unfolding story. Write a description of the
scene using the sixth Center:
Remember: NO JUDGEMENTS!
Write any insights you got today- And then give yourself a great big loving hug!

No matter what is happening in your life, you can always choose to create your emotional
experience either through addictive or preferential programming.
Focus on a situation today in which you created uncomfortable or tense feelings.

In that situation, explore the ways you rip yourself off and make yourself suffer:
Pinpoint the addiction that is causing your suffering:
I create the experience of

___________________________________________________________________________
Because my programming demands______________________________________________

Experience that same ''what is'' with preferential programming:
Write how you might be able to more skillfully achieve your positive intention with
preferential programming.
It's OK if you choose to hold on to the demand. You can be aware of the suffering (ripoffs)
you experience when that demand gets triggered. Gently increased your awareness without
judging yourself.

When you first become aware of an addiction, you may not experience that you are
suffering much. You also may feel that the Payoffs for holding on are great. As you gain
awareness of the Ripoffs and Payoffs, you will begin to feel the price you pay for holding
on to your addiction and to realize that the reward in the Payoffs is very scant.
Put a star by an addictive demand on the previous page.

Graphically weigh your Ripoffs and Payoffs by listing them on the two sides of the "scale"

Put a star by the Payoffs you see as illusory (you don't actually get them when you hold on to
the demand) or temporary (you get temporary pleasure and that doesn't yield your Positive
Intention).
Look at the balance of Ripoffs and Payoffs. Is it worth it to hold on to the demand? Holding
on to the addiction and those Payoffs perpetuates isolation, crystallizes opinions and
prolongs suffering. You lose involvement, wisdom and love.

List the particular Payoffs you think you get by holding on to this addiction:
Look over your list of Payoffs. Which one do you feel is the strongest? Put a star by that
Payoff.
Focusing on that Payoff, check any insights you realize about holding on to your addiction:
Any gain or loss is temporary and doesn't bring continued peace and happiness.
I'm setting up my next lesson.
Its illusion; I don't get that Payoff.
It's never enough.
I create more separateness in my life.
Getting this Payoff doesn't feel as good as Love.
I can put energy into getting or enjoying that "Payoff" from a preferential space.
I lose out on the fullness of what is available in my life. I cut down on my involvement.
I solidify my opinions by holding on.
'' What is'' doesn't change by holding on to the addiction.
Even with that Payoff, I still haven't achieved by positive intention!
Other insights:
Be patient with yourself. Let yourself grow in awareness.

Handling your addictions

Remember, what you've been doing is handling your addictions (1. Pointing your specific
demand; 2. Taking intellectual responsibility; 3. Using a method). For his practice, you'll
also write a one-sentence reminder that it is your addiction that is the cause of your
suffering.
Pinpoint your specific demand:

I create the experience of ___________________________________________________
because my programming demands____________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
Take intellectual responsibility (Write one sentence, e.g. ''It's just my addictive programming
that creates this suffering ''or'' I take responsibility for creating the suffering.''
Use a method: write the Center(s) of Consciousness that you used to create your experience:
Pinpoint another specific demand:
Take intellectual responsibility:
Use a method: repeat one or more of the Pathways. Write the number(s) of those Pathway(s):
You are lovable with every experience that you create.

Take time now to remind yourself to love yourself, and to acknowledge the ways you

Living Love: the basics

As you use the Living Love methods and practice in this Getting Free book, you are increasing
ability to:
Love everyone unconditionally - especially yourself.

The only thing that keeps you from opening your heart to love in any moment is your addictive
programming:
Addictions are the only an immediate, practical cause of suffering.

To change the addictive programming to preferential programming, you first need to be aware
that you have an addiction. You know you have an addiction when:
You feel tension or tightness in your body.
You experience separating emotions.
You keep telling yourself that things should be different.
Your mind is dominated by a recurring thought.
Your Life feels complicated and there is a ''problem.''

You can honor and Love yourself when you become aware of an addiction: it is simply a
signpost that is saying, ''Here is a way that your programming says you cannot Love in this
moment"; ''Here is an opportunity for you to learn to love more.'' It is essential to let yourself
experience your separating feelings in order for you to use the Living Love Methods.
Love yourself - exactly the way you are - with all of your thoughts
and feelings.
As you become aware of an addiction, all you need to do is simply HANDLE YOUR
ADDICTION by using these three steps:
1. Pinpoint your specific addiction:
I create the experience of __________________(separating emotions)____________
because my programming demands___________ (specifically what you want_________
2. Take intellectual responsibility, e.g., ''It's my Addiction causing my suffering.''
3. Use a Method.
Remember to love yourself with what ever you experience: it's all part of the journey!
The Living Love Methods

The Twelve Pathways.
These are twelve statements containing wisdom that can guide you in any situation, can help you
calm your mind and can be used as general reprogramming phrases. To use them:
Say all Twelve Pathways.
A say one or more Pathways as many times as you choose.
An say your addictive demand and one Pathway alternately.
Say your addictive demand with each of the Pathways.
Say your positive intention and one Pathway alternately.
Say your positive intention with each of the Pathways.
Create your own way!
This method can help you gain perspective and see the choices you have to create your
experience. To use it:
Become aware of which are the Centers of Consciousness you are using; just name the
Center of Consciousness you are in at any moment.
Use your imagination and replay the scene through the Security, Sensation, Power and
Love centers (and/or Cornucopia and/or Conscious Awareness).
Use your imagination and replay the scene through the Love and/or Cornucopia and/or
Conscious Awareness centers.
Create your own way.
This is an approach that can help you make the connection that it is your addiction that is
causing your suffering. The following steps can help you make that connection.
1. Explore the suffering (Ripoffs).
2. Pinpoint the specific addiction: I create the experience off_____________
because my programming demands_______________________________
Look at ''what is'': I am emotionally resisting______________________
3. Make a choice:
Uplevel to a preference.
Suffering stops.
You can more skillfully achieve your positive
intention.
You can maintain your opinion.
You can still dislike ''what is.''
You can still try to change ''what is.''
Hold on to the addiction.

Suffering continues.
''What is" often remains the same.
It interferes with achieving your true positive
intention.
4. Become aware of the Payoffs

--What helps you realize that it's your addiction creating your suffering?
The Catalyst - All Ways Us Living Love.

Focus your mind on these words to help you calm your mind: All Ways Us Living Love. You
can use the Catalyst when you're caught up, as a background for your day or for a specified
period of time. To use it:
Say it over and over.
Say it and emphasize each successive word (ALL ways Us Living Love, All WAYS Us
Living Love, All Ways US Living Love, Always Us LIVING Love, Always Us Living
LOVE.)
Sing it.
Create your own way to experience the Catalyst.
Invent your own Catalyst.
Consciousness Focusing.
With this method you choose a phrase that contains loving, accepting programming and say it
over and over to replace addictive programming with preferential programming. To use it:
Choose a reprogramming phrase. Then say that phrase over and over:
Meditatively, quietly.
With activity such as jogging or other physical exercise.
As you go about your daily activities.
Aloud or silently, tensing your body for increased intensity.
Before going to sleep or when you wake up in the morning.
When and how it feels right you.
Instant Consciousness Doubler.
Expand your love and compassion by realizing the ''Us'' place behind programming.
Realizing that you have loved and accepted yourself when you said, did or thought the same
thing as another person from whom you feel separate. Expand your compassion to include
that person.
Realizing that if you had the other persons programming, you would have said or done the
exact same thing. Expand your compassion to include all of us trapped in our programming.
When you reject yourself, realizing that you would Love and accept your best friend saying
or doing the same thing. Expand that love and compassion to include yourself.
Any way or any time you can put yourself in ''their shoes.''
