The 12 Pathways To the Higher Consciousness Planes of Unconditional Love and Oneness
The following is from the higher consciousness classic, Handbook to Higher Consciousness by Ken Keyes, Jr. which explains the Living Love system to higher consciousness.
FREEING
1. I am freeing myself from security, sensation, and power addictions that make me try to forcefully control situations in my life, and thus destroy my serenity and keep me from loving myself and others.
2. I am discovering how my consciousness-dominating addictions create my illusory version of the changing world of people and situations around me.
3. I welcome the opportunity (even if painful) that my minute-to-minute experience offers me to become aware of the addictions I must reprogram to be liberated from my robot-like emotional patterns.
BEING HERE NOW
4. l always remember that I have everything I need to enioy my here and now — unless I am letting my consciousness be dominated by demands and expectations based on the dead past or the imagined future.
5. I take full responsibility here and now for everything I experience, for it is my own programming that creates my actions and also influences the reactions of people around me.
6. I accept myself completely here and now and consciously experience everything I feel, think, say, and do (including my emotion-backed addictions) as a necessary part of my growth into higher consciousness.INTERACTING WITH
7. I open myself genuinely to all people by being willing to fully communicate my deepest feelings, since hiding in any degree keeps me stuck in my illusion of separateness from other people.
8. I feel with loving compassion the problems of others without getting caught up emotionally in their predicaments that are offering them messages they need for their growth.
9. 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.
DISCOVERING MY CONSCIOUS-AWARENESS
10. 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.
11. I am constantly aware of which of the Seven Centers of Consciousness I am using, and I feel my energy, perceptiveness, love and inner peace growing as I open all of the Centers of Consciousness.
12. I am perceiving everyone, including myself, as an awakening being who is here to claim his or her birthright to the higher consciousness planes of unconditional love and oneness.

..let me keep my distance,
always,
from those
who think they have the answers.
…let me keep company
always
with those who say
“look!”
and laugh in astonishment,
and bow their heads.

Kickstarter - THE LOVING STORY
A film looking for backers that details the events that led to the Supreme Court decision overturning Virginia’s anti-miscegenation statute as unconstitutional. It is a story that remains as profound and timely today as it was 40 years ago.

Letter to A Person I Would Like to Kick in the Face
Dear Fellow TruthSeekers, Wow. A kick in the face, that seems rather harsh, don’t you think? I mean, we all have those people who are annoying, irritating, and just plain rude, but to kick them in the face? This person would have to be so vile, their actions so egregious, and their rehabilitation so utterly hopeless to deserve an incredibly satisfying, resounding -THWACK- upside the head. But who deserves such a violent comeuppance? Immediately, the usual suspects make themselves apparent. Any member of the Republican Caucus in the House of Representatives spring to mind; but as their behavior and mind-numbing rhetoric shows, they are already kicking themselves in the face. It’s just a matter of time before the electorate kicks them somewhere other than the face. Other Republican operatives such as Dick Cheney comes to mind, but who kicks a man who has no pulse? No, for someone to merit a kick in the face needs not be some faraway perceived enemy, but one close to home, one who threatens those closest to me in some insidious manner. If there were any such threat, I would certainly have known about it , and this letter could have been written without mentioning Dick Cheney at all. But I do believe there is a threat, a threat to us all, who truly does warrant a good swift kick in the face, perhaps even both faces it so boldly shows on a daily basis. That’s right, I’m looking at you, Time. You come into out lives at the very beginning, and you relentlessly taunt us with the promise and potential of what you have to offer for all of our lives. The promise of the next second, the next minute, and all of the wonderful things that can be accomplished in those precious moments. Oh, but the price we pay for squandering you! Moments we will never get back! Moments wasted on the mundane and routine. The ever-fleeting preciousness of youth that we will never again taste. And as time goes on, the indignities of our bodies failing us as you rush by with ever increasing speed. I was once a stranger to pain, actually having to induce pain to fell it in any way. Now, I manage my pain with over-the-counter remedies available at my local pharmacy. Meet the A Team: Advil Anacin and Aleve, they do a body good. I was once embarrassingly rich with time, having what seemed like an infinite amount of you. Now, I feel as though i am running out of your precious gifts. Your despicable other side has reared it’s ugly head, and now I am hearing of your once almost imperceptible warning: “You can’t buy more time”. You can’t trade for it, you can’t sacrifice your teenage stepdaughter for it, you can’t sacrifice a goat for it, no matter how great the goat might be. You are a cruel mistress, time. So there you have it. the one enemy I would like to kick in the face. Unfortunately, this letter is supposed to be to a person I want to kick in the face. So here’s to you, Operator of The Atomic Clock in Boulder Colorado! -THWACK!-
