loving energy field in which people love you and help you。
As you gain insight into the Cornucopia Center of Consciousness； you will
begin to feel that you live in a friendly world that will always give you
“enough” when you live in the higher Centers of Consciousness。 You will
also begin to deeply feel that you live in a perfect world。 You will not feel it
as perfect from the limited point of view of your instant happiness when you
have addictive programming。 But your world is perfect from the point of
view of continually providing you with precisely the life experiences that you
need for your overall development as a conscious being。
A paranoid person feels that everybody is trying to keep him from getting
what he needs to be happy。 The world is a giant conspiracy to hurt him。 The
Fifth Center of Consciousness represents the opposite of paranoia。 In this
Center you experience people and situations around you aas part of a
generous world that constantly offers you everything you need to be happy。
You will begin to live more and more in the Cornucopia Center when you
experience deeper and deeper aspects of your world as a friendly； nurturing
place。 You feel at home everywhere。
Who could ask for more？ And yet there is more as you grow toward the last
two Centers of Consciousness。
Chapter 12
The Fulfilling Centers
You increase your insight into your life when you realize that everything you
do or feel has a greater or lesser bearing on each of the first five Centers。 For
example； when you are eating； you are experiencing the food predominantly
from the Sensation Center as you enjoy the taste。 However； eating has
aspects that involve the Security Center； for food can serve as an emotional
crutch to make you feel secure。 And； of course； the basic nutritional value in
the food is connected with your security。 Or your food can be experienced
from the Power Center by pontificating to others as to what foods they really
should be eating to bee holy。 Your food can be enjoyed from the Love
Center as a way of accepting and loving new tastes。 Or your food can be
appreciated from the point of view of the Cornucopia Center as a further
confirmation that you live in a beautiful world that gives you everything you
need in order to live in higher consciousness。 As you grow； you will begin to
experience your food from any bination of the five Centers or all of
them。
In each of the five preceding Centers； you will find that you are continually
judging yourself。 In greater or lesser degree； you are paring your
thoughts and actions with a Center of Consciousness to determine whether
you are meeting the standards of the Center。 Each Center presents you with
something to do ： （1） achieving security； （2） experiencing sensations； （3）
developing power； （4） attaining the ability to love and accept everyone and
everything unconditionally no matter what happens； and （5） experiencing the
friendliness and perfection of everything around you。
Even though you are not supposed to be driving yourself； you may constantly
be wondering whether you are really progressing rapidly。 You may be saying
inwardly； “Is Bob growing faster than I？” “What’s holding me back？ I
thought my consciousness was at the Love Center and I just became aware of
power aspects of our relationship。” “Did I just blow it？” “Does it help to
keep a record of how many minutes a day I am on each of the Centers？”
“Should I allow myself one month to get rid of most of the thoughts of the
lower three Centers？”
You will go through phases in which you are addicted to the Love Center and
the Cornucopia Center。 You may bee impatient because you thought you
were loving unconditionally and you find something that you could not
emotionally accept。 Then you may get the feeling。 “I’ve just got to rush this
through and then I can relax again and stop manipulating the people and
things around me。 I can really begin flowing for the rest of my life when I
work through this problem。”
Although your growth toward higher consciousness is associated with
unconditionally accepting yourself and others； you will find that you
experience each of the first five levels of consciousness as a standard by
which you measure yourself。 And isn’t this an addiction？ Each of these five
Centers of Consciousness may be regarded as chains that keep you vulnerable
to fear； resentment； anger； anxiety； worry； etc。 Even when your consciousness
resides most of the time in the Cornucopia Center； it is still chained
although it may be regarded as a light chain of fine gold。
THE SIXTH CENTER OF CONSCIOUSNESS
THE CONSCIOUS…AWARENESS CENTER
The way to bee free of these chains is to let your consciousness reside in
your Conscious…awareness Center。 This is a peaceful place that is
experienced from deep inside where you just witness your drama in all of the
other five Centers。 In this Center you do not judge or evaluate in any way。
You just witness yourself； “There he is in the unconditional Love Center。 He
just had a thought that he cannot really be loving when Mary gets mad at him。
He’s putting himself down because he cannot yet experience everything as a
form of love。”
From the detached Conscious…awareness Center； you just watch yourself
performing in all of the other five Centers。 You don’t pat yourself on the back
or criticize yourself in any way。 You blissfully enjoy the show。 You
impartially witness yourself。 You let your drama be anything and
everything。
You use the Conscious…awareness Center as a meta…center from which you
get free from your preoccupation with the preceding five Centers of
Consciousness for all the five Centers bind you in one way or another by
creating a special version of what’s happening。 You break through all chains
when you experience every moment of your life from that deep； calm place
inside you where you observe everything and accept everything。
The Conscious…awareness Center gives you a space between you and the
surrounding world。 From this Center you are no longer vulnerable to ups and
downs。 At last you are free nothing can disturb you or bring you down
even though your body and mind may be going through various types of
drama。 You still have to “chop wood and carry water” regardless of the
Center of Consciousness you are on。 You will still want to play an active part
in the world around you。 You will still be learning various things； interacting
with people； and doing your part in building a more beautiful world by living
a conscious life。 But YOU will not be doing it。 It will only be your body and
mind that are involved in these daily dramas of working； playing； feeling；
doing； etc。 Your Conscious…awareness will be watching it all as a magic
show from a beautiful place deep inside you where everything is peaceful
all the time。 Even if your body and mind go through the manifestations of
anger or jealousy； you are aware that you are only playing out one of your
addictive roles in your dramatic repertory。 For you are just silently witnessing
your body and mind picking up the cues and saying your lines as others recite
their lines in the daily drama of life。
When you live in the Sixth Center of Consciousness you will experience
yourself as an actor on the great stage of life。 Each day you act out the lines
that are dictated by the programming of your bioputer。 and you know
that the cues others pick up and their responses to them are a function of the
Centers of Consciousness that they are experiencing at the now moment in
their journey toward awakening。
Each of us creates a world that is generated by the Centers of Consciousness
that we are using in today’s script of the cosmic play。 Central casting has
furnished various people who are dressed up as actors for the purpose of
helping you in your consciousness growth。 But your higher consciousness is
out in the “audience” watching your body and mind interact with other bodies
and minds on stage。 And you view everything you do and say as part of your
growth toward freedom from your addictive traps。
Your addictive programs that activate your ego and your rational mind
constantly keep you from realizing who you really are。
