Guest guest Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 Prem, I do appreciate all of your posts and how you are trying to help people. But, this is an affirmations group, and a positive thinking group. I'm not sure that your other philosophies and talking about your book alot, is acceptable here. I have kept my mouth shut for awhile, thinking it would calm down. But, since it hasn't, please refrain from advertising your book on this group, and try to get things back to affirmations and positive thinking. If you feel you cannot do that, maybe you need to leave and start your own yahoo group. If you decide to do that, I will post the link of your website for interested members of the affirmations group. I'm not meaning this in a rude, or mean, or cruel way. I'm just feeling like things have been moving away from the purpose and goal of this group too much lately. Let's try to get it back to what it was intended to be! If you need some examples, go back and read the early posts (or messages) on the affirmations site. I wish you success with your book, and success to you. But, we do NOT advertise here, and I told everyone that when people joined the group. The only reason we put an author's name and book is to properly give copyright permission to the author, when we are quoting them. That's all. Thank you for understanding!

It is a five element process ( as I know it) that puts one in a state of joy and ecstasy. Most people practice it a few times a week. I took it to the extreme and practiced it at least twice a day for many years until it came automatically to me. During that time, I realized that Vivation is the five elements of unconditional love and when one practices them, they are practicing loving themselves unconditionally. I pasted the third chapter on my book, The Joy Book as it explains it better. Prem THIS IS CHAPTER THREE FROM THE JOY BOOK BY PREM RAJA BABA. ISBN 0-9645010-0-7 Copyright 1992 Prem Raja Baba all rights reserved CHAPTER THREE The Five Steps of Unconditional Love Unconditional love is not something that we read about in verse or talk about in church. Unconditional love is a reality. It is within the reach of all who want it. Most of us were practicing unconditional love when we were born. From that moment on, the mass consciousness of the planet began converting us to conditional love. By the age of eight most of us had lost all vestige of the joy we experienced by loving ourselves unconditionally. We had been trained to love ourselves conditionally. In order to return to that experience of unconditional love, we must learn how to practice it on a moment to moment basis. The Five Steps of Unconditional Love are the elements of unconditional love. The Five Steps are simple and easy to learn and practice. Since unconditional love is our natural birthright, practicing the Five Steps is just being naturally who you really are. Since most of us have been practicing conditional love for many years, it may take a bit of practice before unconditional love becomes automatic to you again. It is important to know that practicing the Five Steps is easy and can be done anywhere and anytime. You can do them while you work or while you play. THE FIVE STEPS OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE Circular Connected Breathing Complete Relaxation Awareness In Detail Integration Into Ecstasy Do It Now, Be Spontaneous CIRCULAR CONNECTED BREATHING is the first and chief step. At birth most of us had our umbilical cords cut prematurely before it stopped pulsating. Until the cord stops pulsating, a baby is still relying on the mother for life support. Cutting the cord before a child is fully prepared to breathe on its own puts them in fear of death. Their little computers (minds) takes the experiences and puts them together (fear and not breathing). From this they form their first personal law or belief: When in fear, don’t breathe! This personal law results in most people breathing very shallow, fragmented and holding their breath most of their lives. This is caused by chronic fear, a product of judgment, learned from our parents and society. Now is the time to relearn or unlearn through the practice of full and free breathing all of the time, especially when in fear. As with all the steps, this can only be accomplished through practice. Doing the Circular Connected Breathing is simple. The inhale is full and positive. At the end of your inhale, immediately begin the exhale. The exhale is to be relaxed and totally uncontrolled. What that means is to just let the exhale fall out. Do not let the exhale out slowly and don't force the exhale out or blow it out. Once the exhale is complete, immediately begin the inhale. Continue this method of breathing until it is automatic. COMPLETE RELAXATION is the next step and is the opposite of tension. Tension is what we do to suppress and repress (unconscious suppression) emotions. Emotions are energy in motion or Emotions. We learned to suppress certain emotions because we were taught by those around us that expressing them was wrong or bad (judgment). Men shouldn't cry, it isn't lady like to express anger, etc. In some households even laughter had to be suppressed. Tension is the holding of the energy from moving, through the use of an equal and opposite force of energy. Wherever this energy was routed in the body for expression, it is now held there in the form of tension. When one suppresses crying it causes tension in the sinus area and the lungs which causes headaches, sinusitis, coughs, and what is referred to as the common cold. One needs only to emote to rid themselves of the so called COLD. Suppression of anger causes stiff necks, back problems, shoulder pain and easily injured muscles and backbones. Chronic suppression of Emotions can cause organ failure and illness by overwhelming the cells in that area of the body with excessive energy. This can be equated to exposing the skin (the largest organ in the body) to too much solar energy (sunlight) causing severe burning. Complete relaxation doesn't come at once but is achieved more and more each day through practice. Complete relaxation is the total lack of the resistance to the flow of energy in the body and one doesn't have to be limp to accomplish it. It is a natural state that will be part of your being whether you are standing, sitting, working, or playing. When no energy is being used to suppress energy (tension) then more energy is available to accomplish what one wants in life. The point of power is in the present moment. Suppressing energy keeps us in the past or the future. The more the energy from the past and the fear of the future is released the less we are in tension and the more powerful we are to manifest what we want and to live life effortlessly. AWARENESS IN DETAIL, the third element, is opposite of denial and disassociation. Denial is a practice we learned as a form of self preservation (defense). We learned this when we were very small, either from direct experience or from the experience of one or more of our peers or siblings. Most of us learned it the first time we were punished. It usually happened by the time we were two years old. We were very small at the time and in comparison, our parents were giants. To really be able to understand the trauma that a child is experiencing when they are that small and being punished put yourself in the child's place. Imagine yourself in a confined room with an eighteen foot tall giant weighing eight hundred pounds, raving mad and screaming that you are wrong or bad and that you are going to " get it " . The first thought that will probably enters your mind is: I AM GOING TO DIE. With the giant screaming that the child is wrong or bad immediately creates the personal law: WHENEVER I AM WRONG OR BAD I AM GOING TO DIE. The first action we do in a life threatening situation is to deny and disassociate. That child wasn't allowed its normal reactions of fight or flight. The rage energy that was produced from that frightening experience had to be suppressed. It had to be denied and disassociated for the expression of rage and anger as a child was deemed wrong and punishable, sort of a catch 22 situation created by the parent. If emotions, thoughts, visions, experiences and feelings are made wrong or bad by our parents and society then anytime we experience being wrong or bad we automatically go into defense posture and deny the thoughts and disassociate the emotions to avoid guilt. Since we are living and experiencing beings we can not go through life without creating these prohibited experiences. Soon we find we have lost much of our awareness. Our bodies have become numb. Many feel dead and seek out drugs such as cocaine to feel alive. Others partake in sports that produce great adrenaline rushes, all to feel that aliveness they lost through denial and disassociation. This is one of the reasons why sex is so popular with its great rush of energy and aliveness and this is also why enlightened beings do not seek out sex with much eagerness for they have the aliveness, awareness and love themselves unconditionally. Being still is probably one of the best methods of creating awareness. When one is not being distracted by focusing on the outer world, work or play, they automatically start becoming aware of thoughts and feelings they have suppressed; thoughts and feelings they don't want to deal with. To further enhance your awareness, focus on your body as this is where you are storing all you have suppressed in the form of energy. INTEGRATION INTO ECSTASY is opposite segregation and is the fourth step. Segregation is judgment, comparing black to white and making the black wrong and the white right, the black bad and the white good. Integration is nonjudgment. Judgment is comparing what IS to some given model. Since THOUGHT IS CREATIVE and we as thinkers are creators, then all our experiences are a reflection or manifestation of our thoughts and so they are perfect. They can never be wrong or bad and no one is a victim. Everyone’s experiences dovetails (fits perfectly) with everyone else’s. Once this is understood fully it is easy to see how we are one being moving together in unison or oneness, like members of a symphony orchestra or a dance troupe. Since conditional love is to love through judgment then unconditional love is to love through integration. When one is in integration, they are in ecstasy. When this occurs on all levels of consciousness, one realizes joy. Since judgment is a habit well learned and practiced by most of society it can be difficult to attain total integration while surrounded by judgmental beings. For those of us willing to work on integration while remaining a member of society it is important to be with others seeking integration and joy. It can be easy to regress when surrounded with judgmental consciousness, so it is important to stay on purpose. Suppressed Emotions and other patterns of energy may surface to your awareness and cause discomfort or pain. When they do, a simple method of integrating them are as follows. Say: " I AM THIS(THESE) PATTERN(S) OF ENERGY. " Also allow the experience to be there. Wanting to get rid of the discomfort is making it wrong and locks it in further. Remember that anytime you perceive an experience as good, bad, right or wrong you have made a judgment. This should set off an alarm in your head to get back into the fourth step and check the other Five Steps of unconditional love. DO IT NOW, BE SPONTANEOUS is number five. All through our lives we seem to seek approval. If you do what others like or think is right or good or try to please others so they will approve and love you, this is conditional love. Our parents and society continuously teach this. As a child we were punished for our spontaneity and so we fear punishment any time we act without judgment. Being spontaneous is to do whatever you want to without prethought. Prethought is to think before you do. To think whether this will please the person or persons you are with. To think whether they will accept you or like or love you if you do it. We become robotrons acting like everyone else wants us to and not like we want to. We have become performers, always in a role but never being ourselves. It is time to become the spontaneous child again. Watch small children and animals. They are spontaneous. Watch how they are in Joy. Learn from them. It has been said that the only way to enter the kingdom of heaven is as a little child. A little child is unconditionally loving, spontaneous and creative. If one has to please others for their love then they can not be spontaneous nor can they be creative. They can only act the way people expect them to and nothing more. They have become actors playing the role of the good and right person, acting like others want them to and not being real, alive and honest. Before doing, they always ask is it good or right? Will it please the others? Is it appropriate? If it is not, it is suppressed. People have become robotrons, attempting to please the giant (their parents), and others determined to be a source of love or approval for them. So, the fifth step is to be spontaneous and creative. To let that little child in all of you live in unconditional love. To know that WE are where our love is derived; from US and not externally. We are love. For those of us that were products of vigorous regimentation as a child, this element may be a challenge. Remembering the thoughts when you were first punished: if I am to live I must please this giant, we can see how scary it can be for some to be spontaneous. I suggest that the easiest way to be in this element is to surround yourself with allowing people and to seek love from your own unconditional source: yourself. It also helps if you allow others to be spontaneous and just do what ever they want and not to judge them. Allow is a very powerful practice; see the perfection in every situation. This step can also be said to be a culmination of some of the other steps. All our emotions are spontaneous and must be expressed fully and freely when they are created. Do not stifle emotions until an appropriate time, express them when they are created. If you are in the company of non allowing persons, leave and find an area where you can express yourself fully. The best choice is to live and work around people who allow all, unconditionally. If this is possible, do it. But I know for some it is not a choice you have at this time. Don't fret, for it will be a choice soon for thought is creative. Another part of the fifth step is DO IT NOW. Not only does this mean be spontaneous but to act on your thoughts and desires when you have them. Procrastination is the monkey wrench in the cog works of progress. It walks hand in hand with good intentions in the opposite direction we seek. There is no benefit to any practice or teaching if we are always going to do it later or tomorrow. We must be on purpose and do it now, this very moment, not five minutes from now, or later or tomorrow. Do it now or it probably will never get done. There is a great resistance in change. This resistance comes from our birth trauma. Birth was our first experience of change and for most it was traumatic. Once bit, twice shy, we shy away from change through procrastination. If we put it off we may never have to change. Even if the change will bring great benefit, we tend to resist change. We must stay aware of this and overcome it by DOING IT NOW. So, do it now; The Five Steps of Unconditional Love. Begin with the first step and once it is learned, go to the next one and on and on and on. Once you have learned the Five Steps separately, then practice them simultaneously and daily. I recommend that everyone do the Five Steps every fifteen minutes throughout the day. For some, this may be a bit too much, so for those, do them at least once an hour. You can get wrist watches that beep on the hour to remind you. In the beginning, it may take a few minutes each time, but after a short while you will find that it only takes a few seconds to check yourself and what you will find is that your experience is one of joy and aliveness. Since the Five Steps of Unconditional Love are a practice that brings one to joy and aliveness, it can be used as a yoga practice. For those on a spiritual quest, the Five Steps brings great peace when integrated into your daily practices. Do the Five Steps every morning until you have totally integrated everything activated in the dream state. Whatever you do not integrate from your dream state will create undesirable scenarios during your day that will evoke emotions. This is the way the body integrates patterns of energy when you don't practice the Five Steps. Stay conscious of your body as much as possible. When you are experiencing an emotion, be with it. Don't suppress it or make it wrong. Make it fun to express your emotions and it will be fun to express your emotions. Stay in awareness of how you feel and how others feel also. When you feel unalive, it is a sign that you have dropped out of the Five Steps. Take immediate action and get back in the Five Steps. Practice makes an athlete a star. As a spiritual athlete, the more one practices the Five Steps, the faster one achieves their goal of enlightenment, ascension and peace. Practice and share the Five Steps with your friends and loved ones. The Joy Book was designed to change the world by assisting individuals in changing themselves. As individuals become more joyful and unconditionally loving of themselves, they become a bright light in a not so light world. Their light and love will effect those around them to the point where they will begin to change also. As an individual, you have the ability to change the world. I invite you to integrate the technology in this book into your life so that you too may assist in the transformation of the planet. Organize your friends and share the teachings of this book with them. Create networks of peace and joy facilitators. Create programs so that you and others can telepathically broadcast affirmations and thoughts of world peace and prosperity continuously each day. Broadcast these affirmations in the first, second and third person. Broadcast affirmations such as: The world is in total peace. Everyone in the world is prosperous and well fed. We are all safe. Use your intuitive sense and your spiritual guidance and TOGETHER WE CAN TRANSFORM THE PLANET. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 PJ, Actions say a lot more than words do. Your lack of (action) saying anything to allan about the abusive emails he sent in my direction, through this group means that you approve of abusive behavior. How would you like it if I said that you were dangerous within this group? Would you like it? Is that what you want of this group. Allan is a perfect example of a person that suppresses all his rage and anger and expresses it in hurtful words. He believes it is appropriate to him to be abusive verbally, as long as he does not raise his voice. Is this what you are saying in your email? No reference to books but it is okay to be abusive? I have not seen one word from you to allan about his abusive emails. so, you condone abusive emails in your group? So one else said how abusive it is to call someone dangerous. Must I assume that everyone on this group likes to see people abused as allan did to me? Am I upset? Yes I am. I do not like to take more than one abusive salvo a day, even when they are so polite as yours are. I do not like to be falsely accused of things I am not guilty of. I AM NOT DANGEROUS, AND I AM NOT SELLING MY BOOKS ON YOUR GROUP. I know that on this group, you are the mother and nothing I could ever say would keep everyone from siding with you. You have that power and also that responsibility that goes with power. Let's see if you will use it responsibly.

PJ PREM wrote:ine Tague wrote: > >> What does Vivation mean? And thanks for your explanation. I am > working on it. ine I learned vivation in 86 and it has been the one most effective tool for my transformation. It is a five element process ( as I know it) that puts one in a state of joy and ecstasy. Most people practice it a few times a week. I took it to the extreme and practiced it at least twice a day for many years until it came automatically to me. During that time, I realized that Vivation is the five elements of unconditional love and when one practices them, they are practicing loving themselves unconditionally. I pasted the third chapter on my book, The Joy Book as it explains it better. Prem THIS IS CHAPTER THREE FROM THE JOY BOOK BY PREM RAJA BABA. ISBN 0-9645010-0-7 Copyright 1992 Prem Raja Baba all rights reserved CHAPTER THREE The Five Steps of Unconditional Love Unconditional love is not something that we read about in verse or talk about in church. Unconditional love is a reality. It is within the reach of all who want it. Most of us were practicing unconditional love when we were born. From that moment on, the mass consciousness of the planet began converting us to conditional love. By the age of eight most of us had lost all vestige of the joy we experienced by loving ourselves unconditionally. We had been trained to love ourselves conditionally. In order to return to that experience of unconditional love, we must learn how to practice it on a moment to moment basis. The Five Steps of Unconditional Love are the elements of unconditional love. The Five Steps are simple and easy to learn and practice. Since unconditional love is our natural birthright, practicing the Five Steps is just being naturally who you really are. Since most of us have been practicing conditional love for many years, it may take a bit of practice before unconditional love becomes automatic to you again. It is important to know that practicing the Five Steps is easy and can be done anywhere and anytime. You can do them while you work or while you play. THE FIVE STEPS OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE Circular Connected Breathing Complete Relaxation Awareness In Detail Integration Into Ecstasy Do It Now, Be Spontaneous CIRCULAR CONNECTED BREATHING is the first and chief step. At birth most of us had our umbilical cords cut prematurely before it stopped pulsating. Until the cord stops pulsating, a baby is still relying on the mother for life support. Cutting the cord before a child is fully prepared to breathe on its own puts them in fear of death. Their little computers (minds) takes the experiences and puts them together (fear and not breathing). From this they form their first personal law or belief: When in fear, don’t breathe! This personal law results in most people breathing very shallow, fragmented and holding their breath most of their lives. This is caused by chronic fear, a product of judgment, learned from our parents and society. Now is the time to relearn or unlearn through the practice of full and free breathing all of the time, especially when in fear. As with all the steps, this can only be accomplished through practice. Doing the Circular Connected Breathing is simple. The inhale is full and positive. At the end of your inhale, immediately begin the exhale. The exhale is to be relaxed and totally uncontrolled. What that means is to just let the exhale fall out. Do not let the exhale out slowly and don't force the exhale out or blow it out. Once the exhale is complete, immediately begin the inhale. Continue this method of breathing until it is automatic. COMPLETE RELAXATION is the next step and is the opposite of tension. Tension is what we do to suppress and repress (unconscious suppression) emotions. Emotions are energy in motion or Emotions. We learned to suppress certain emotions because we were taught by those around us that expressing them was wrong or bad (judgment). Men shouldn't cry, it isn't lady like to express anger, etc. In some households even laughter had to be suppressed. Tension is the holding of the energy from moving, through the use of an equal and opposite force of energy. Wherever this energy was routed in the body for expression, it is now held there in the form of tension. When one suppresses crying it causes tension in the sinus area and the lungs which causes headaches, sinusitis, coughs, and what is referred to as the common cold. One needs only to emote to rid themselves of the so called COLD. Suppression of anger causes stiff necks, back problems, shoulder pain and easily injured muscles and backbones. Chronic suppression of Emotions can cause organ failure and illness by overwhelming the cells in that area of the body with excessive energy. This can be equated to exposing the skin (the largest organ in the body) to too much solar energy (sunlight) causing severe burning. Complete relaxation doesn't come at once but is achieved more and more each day through practice. Complete relaxation is the total lack of the resistance to the flow of energy in the body and one doesn't have to be limp to accomplish it. It is a natural state that will be part of your being whether you are standing, sitting, working, or playing. When no energy is being used to suppress energy (tension) then more energy is available to accomplish what one wants in life. The point of power is in the present moment. Suppressing energy keeps us in the past or the future. The more the energy from the past and the fear of the future is released the less we are in tension and the more powerful we are to manifest what we want and to live life effortlessly. AWARENESS IN DETAIL, the third element, is opposite of denial and disassociation. Denial is a practice we learned as a form of self preservation (defense). We learned this when we were very small, either from direct experience or from the experience of one or more of our peers or siblings. Most of us learned it the first time we were punished. It usually happened by the time we were two years old. We were very small at the time and in comparison, our parents were giants. To really be able to understand the trauma that a child is experiencing when they are that small and being punished put yourself in the child's place. Imagine yourself in a confined room with an eighteen foot tall giant weighing eight hundred pounds, raving mad and screaming that you are wrong or bad and that you are going to " get it " . The first thought that will probably enters your mind is: I AM GOING TO DIE. With the giant screaming that the child is wrong or bad immediately creates the personal law: WHENEVER I AM WRONG OR BAD I AM GOING TO DIE. The first action we do in a life threatening situation is to deny and disassociate. That child wasn't allowed its normal reactions of fight or flight. The rage energy that was produced from that frightening experience had to be suppressed. It had to be denied and disassociated for the expression of rage and anger as a child was deemed wrong and punishable, sort of a catch 22 situation created by the parent. If emotions, thoughts, visions, experiences and feelings are made wrong or bad by our parents and society then anytime we experience being wrong or bad we automatically go into defense posture and deny the thoughts and disassociate the emotions to avoid guilt. Since we are living and experiencing beings we can not go through life without creating these prohibited experiences. Soon we find we have lost much of our awareness. Our bodies have become numb. Many feel dead and seek out drugs such as cocaine to feel alive. Others partake in sports that produce great adrenaline rushes, all to feel that aliveness they lost through denial and disassociation. This is one of the reasons why sex is so popular with its great rush of energy and aliveness and this is also why enlightened beings do not seek out sex with much eagerness for they have the aliveness, awareness and love themselves unconditionally. Being still is probably one of the best methods of creating awareness. When one is not being distracted by focusing on the outer world, work or play, they automatically start becoming aware of thoughts and feelings they have suppressed; thoughts and feelings they don't want to deal with. To further enhance your awareness, focus on your body as this is where you are storing all you have suppressed in the form of energy. INTEGRATION INTO ECSTASY is opposite segregation and is the fourth step. Segregation is judgment, comparing black to white and making the black wrong and the white right, the black bad and the white good. Integration is nonjudgment. Judgment is comparing what IS to some given model. Since THOUGHT IS CREATIVE and we as thinkers are creators, then all our experiences are a reflection or manifestation of our thoughts and so they are perfect. They can never be wrong or bad and no one is a victim. Everyone’s experiences dovetails (fits perfectly) with everyone else’s. Once this is understood fully it is easy to see how we are one being moving together in unison or oneness, like members of a symphony orchestra or a dance troupe. Since conditional love is to love through judgment then unconditional love is to love through integration. When one is in integration, they are in ecstasy. When this occurs on all levels of consciousness, one realizes joy. Since judgment is a habit well learned and practiced by most of society it can be difficult to attain total integration while surrounded by judgmental beings. For those of us willing to work on integration while remaining a member of society it is important to be with others seeking integration and joy. It can be easy to regress when surrounded with judgmental consciousness, so it is important to stay on purpose. Suppressed Emotions and other patterns of energy may surface to your awareness and cause discomfort or pain. When they do, a simple method of integrating them are as follows. Say: " I AM THIS(THESE) PATTERN(S) OF ENERGY. " Also allow the experience to be there. Wanting to get rid of the discomfort is making it wrong and locks it in further. Remember that anytime you perceive an experience as good, bad, right or wrong you have made a judgment. This should set off an alarm in your head to get back into the fourth step and check the other Five Steps of unconditional love. DO IT NOW, BE SPONTANEOUS is number five. All through our lives we seem to seek approval. If you do what others like or think is right or good or try to please others so they will approve and love you, this is conditional love. Our parents and society continuously teach this. As a child we were punished for our spontaneity and so we fear punishment any time we act without judgment. Being spontaneous is to do whatever you want to without prethought. Prethought is to think before you do. To think whether this will please the person or persons you are with. To think whether they will accept you or like or love you if you do it. We become robotrons acting like everyone else wants us to and not like we want to. We have become performers, always in a role but never being ourselves. It is time to become the spontaneous child again. Watch small children and animals. They are spontaneous. Watch how they are in Joy. Learn from them. It has been said that the only way to enter the kingdom of heaven is as a little child. A little child is unconditionally loving, spontaneous and creative. If one has to please others for their love then they can not be spontaneous nor can they be creative. They can only act the way people expect them to and nothing more. They have become actors playing the role of the good and right person, acting like others want them to and not being real, alive and honest. Before doing, they always ask is it good or right? Will it please the others? Is it appropriate? If it is not, it is suppressed. People have become robotrons, attempting to please the giant (their parents), and others determined to be a source of love or approval for them. So, the fifth step is to be spontaneous and creative. To let that little child in all of you live in unconditional love. To know that WE are where our love is derived; from US and not externally. We are love. For those of us that were products of vigorous regimentation as a child, this element may be a challenge. Remembering the thoughts when you were first punished: if I am to live I must please this giant, we can see how scary it can be for some to be spontaneous. I suggest that the easiest way to be in this element is to surround yourself with allowing people and to seek love from your own unconditional source: yourself. It also helps if you allow others to be spontaneous and just do what ever they want and not to judge them. Allow is a very powerful practice; see the perfection in every situation. This step can also be said to be a culmination of some of the other steps. All our emotions are spontaneous and must be expressed fully and freely when they are created. Do not stifle emotions until an appropriate time, express them when they are created. If you are in the company of non allowing persons, leave and find an area where you can express yourself fully. The best choice is to live and work around people who allow all, unconditionally. If this is possible, do it. But I know for some it is not a choice you have at this time. Don't fret, for it will be a choice soon for thought is creative. Another part of the fifth step is DO IT NOW. Not only does this mean be spontaneous but to act on your thoughts and desires when you have them. Procrastination is the monkey wrench in the cog works of progress. It walks hand in hand with good intentions in the opposite direction we seek. There is no benefit to any practice or teaching if we are always going to do it later or tomorrow. We must be on purpose and do it now, this very moment, not five minutes from now, or later or tomorrow. Do it now or it probably will never get done. There is a great resistance in change. This resistance comes from our birth trauma. Birth was our first experience of change and for most it was traumatic. Once bit, twice shy, we shy away from change through procrastination. If we put it off we may never have to change. Even if the change will bring great benefit, we tend to resist change. We must stay aware of this and overcome it by DOING IT NOW. So, do it now; The Five Steps of Unconditional Love. Begin with the first step and once it is learned, go to the next one and on and on and on. Once you have learned the Five Steps separately, then practice them simultaneously and daily. I recommend that everyone do the Five Steps every fifteen minutes throughout the day. For some, this may be a bit too much, so for those, do them at least once an hour. You can get wrist watches that beep on the hour to remind you. In the beginning, it may take a few minutes each time, but after a short while you will find that it only takes a few seconds to check yourself and what you will find is that your experience is one of joy and aliveness. Since the Five Steps of Unconditional Love are a practice that brings one to joy and aliveness, it can be used as a yoga practice. For those on a spiritual quest, the Five Steps brings great peace when integrated into your daily practices. Do the Five Steps every morning until you have totally integrated everything activated in the dream state. Whatever you do not integrate from your dream state will create undesirable scenarios during your day that will evoke emotions. This is the way the body integrates patterns of energy when you don't practice the Five Steps. Stay conscious of your body as much as possible. When you are experiencing an emotion, be with it. Don't suppress it or make it wrong. Make it fun to express your emotions and it will be fun to express your emotions. Stay in awareness of how you feel and how others feel also. When you feel unalive, it is a sign that you have dropped out of the Five Steps. Take immediate action and get back in the Five Steps. Practice makes an athlete a star. As a spiritual athlete, the more one practices the Five Steps, the faster one achieves their goal of enlightenment, ascension and peace. Practice and share the Five Steps with your friends and loved ones. The Joy Book was designed to change the world by assisting individuals in changing themselves. As individuals become more joyful and unconditionally loving of themselves, they become a bright light in a not so light world. Their light and love will effect those around them to the point where they will begin to change also. As an individual, you have the ability to change the world. I invite you to integrate the technology in this book into your life so that you too may assist in the transformation of the planet. Organize your friends and share the teachings of this book with them. Create networks of peace and joy facilitators.

This is one of the reasons why sex is so popular with its great rush of energy and aliveness and this is also why enlightened beings do not seek out sex with much eagerness for they have the aliveness, awareness and love themselves unconditionally. Being still is probably one of the best methods of creating awareness. When one is not being distracted by focusing on the outer world, work or play, they automatically start becoming aware of thoughts and feelings they have suppressed; thoughts and feelings they don't want to deal with. To further enhance your awareness, focus on your body as this is where you are storing all you have suppressed in the form of energy. INTEGRATION INTO ECSTASY is opposite segregation and is the fourth step. Segregation is judgment, comparing black to white and making the black wrong and the white right, the black bad and the white good. Integration is nonjudgment. Judgment is comparing what IS to some given model. Since THOUGHT IS CREATIVE and we as thinkers are creators, then all our experiences are a reflection or manifestation of our thoughts and so they are perfect. They can never be wrong or bad and no one is a victim. Everyone’s experiences dovetails (fits perfectly) with everyone else’s. Once this is understood fully it is easy to see how we are one being moving together in unison or oneness, like members of a symphony orchestra or a dance troupe. Since conditional love is to love through judgment then unconditional love is to love through integration. When one is in integration, they are in ecstasy. When this occurs on all levels of consciousness, one realizes joy. Since judgment is a habit well learned and practiced by most of society it can be difficult to attain total integration while surrounded by judgmental beings. For those of us willing to work on integration while remaining a member of society it is important to be with others seeking integration and joy. It can be easy to regress when surrounded with judgmental consciousness, so it is important to stay on purpose. Suppressed Emotions and other patterns of energy may surface to your awareness and cause discomfort or pain. When they do, a simple method of integrating them are as follows. Say: " I AM THIS(THESE) PATTERN(S) OF ENERGY. " Also allow the experience to be there. Wanting to get rid of the discomfort is making it wrong and locks it in further. Remember that anytime you perceive an experience as good, bad, right or wrong you have made a judgment. This should set off an alarm in your head to get back into the fourth step and check the other Five Steps of unconditional love. DO IT NOW, BE SPONTANEOUS is number five. All through our lives we seem to seek approval. If you do what others like or think is right or good or try to please others so they will approve and love you, this is conditional love. Our parents and society continuously teach this. As a child we were punished for our spontaneity and so we fear punishment any time we act without judgment. Being spontaneous is to do whatever you want to without prethought. Prethought is to think before you do. To think whether this will please the person or persons you are with. To think whether they will accept you or like or love you if you do it. We become robotrons acting like everyone else wants us to and not like we want to. We have become performers, always in a role but never being ourselves. It is time to become the spontaneous child again. Watch small children and animals. They are spontaneous. Watch how they are in Joy. Learn from them. It has been said that the only way to enter the kingdom of heaven is as a little child. A little child is unconditionally loving, spontaneous and creative. If one has to please others for their love then they can not be spontaneous nor can they be creative. They can only act the way people expect them to and nothing more. They have become actors playing the role of the good and right person, acting like others want them to and not being real, alive and honest. Before doing, they always ask is it good or right? Will it please the others? Is it appropriate? If it is not, it is suppressed. People have become robotrons, attempting to please the giant (their parents), and others determined to be a source of love or approval for them. So, the fifth step is to be spontaneous and creative. To let that little child in all of you live in unconditional love. To know that WE are where our love is derived; from US and not externally. We are love. For those of us that were products of vigorous regimentation as a child, this element may be a challenge. Remembering the thoughts when you were first punished: if I am to live I must please this giant, we can see how scary it can be for some to be spontaneous. I suggest that the easiest way to be in this element is to surround yourself with allowing people and to seek love from your own unconditional source: yourself. It also helps if you allow others to be spontaneous and just do what ever they want and not to judge them. Allow is a very powerful practice; see the perfection in every situation. This step can also be said to be a culmination of some of the other steps. All our emotions are spontaneous and must be expressed fully and freely when they are created. Do not stifle emotions until an appropriate time, express them when they are created. If you are in the company of non allowing persons, leave and find an area where you can express yourself fully. The best choice is to live and work around people who allow all, unconditionally. If this is possible, do it. But I know for some it is not a choice you have at this time. Don't fret, for it will be a choice soon for thought is creative. Another part of the fifth step is DO IT NOW. Not only does this mean be spontaneous but to act on your thoughts and desires when you have them. Procrastination is the monkey wrench in the cog works of progress. It walks hand in hand with good intentions in the opposite direction we seek. There is no benefit to any practice or teaching if we are always going to do it later or tomorrow. We must be on purpose and do it now, this very moment, not five minutes from now, or later or tomorrow. Do it now or it probably will never get done. There is a great resistance in change. This resistance comes from our birth trauma. Birth was our first experience of change and for most it was traumatic. Once bit, twice shy, we shy away from change through procrastination. If we put it off we may never have to change. Even if the change will bring great benefit, we tend to resist change. We must stay aware of this and overcome it by DOING IT NOW. So, do it now; The Five Steps of Unconditional Love. Begin with the first step and once it is learned, go to the next one and on and on and on. Once you have learned the Five Steps separately, then practice them simultaneously and daily. I recommend that everyone do the Five Steps every fifteen minutes throughout the day. For some, this may be a bit too much, so for those, do them at least once an hour. You can get wrist watches that beep on the hour to remind you. In the beginning, it may take a few minutes each time, but after a short while you will find that it only takes a few seconds to check yourself and what you will find is that your experience is one of joy and aliveness. Since the Five Steps of Unconditional Love are a practice that brings one to joy and aliveness, it can be used as a yoga practice. For those on a spiritual quest, the Five Steps brings great peace when integrated into your daily practices. Do the Five Steps every morning until you have totally integrated everything activated in the dream state. Whatever you do not integrate from your dream state will create undesirable scenarios during your day that will evoke emotions. This is the way the body integrates patterns of energy when you don't practice the Five Steps. Stay conscious of your body as much as possible. When you are experiencing an emotion, be with it. Don't suppress it or make it wrong. Make it fun to express your emotions and it will be fun to express your emotions. Stay in awareness of how you feel and how others feel also. When you feel unalive, it is a sign that you have dropped out of the Five Steps. Take immediate action and get back in the Five Steps. Practice makes an athlete a star. As a spiritual athlete, the more one practices the Five Steps, the faster one achieves their goal of enlightenment, ascension and peace. Practice and share the Five Steps with your friends and loved ones. The Joy Book was designed to change the world by assisting individuals in changing themselves. As individuals become more joyful and unconditionally loving of themselves, they become a bright light in a not so light world. Their light and love will effect those around them to the point where they will begin to change also. As an individual, you have the ability to change the world. I invite you to integrate the technology in this book into your life so that you too may assist in the transformation of the planet. Organize your friends and share the teachings of this book with them. Create networks of peace and joy facilitators. Create programs so that you and others can telepathically broadcast affirmations and thoughts of world peace and prosperity continuously each day. Broadcast these affirmations in the first, second and third person. Broadcast affirmations such as: The world is in total peace. Everyone in the world is prosperous and well fed. We are all safe. Use your intuitive sense and your spiritual guidance and TOGETHER WE CAN TRANSFORM THE PLANET. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Excuse me! Yes, I did reprimand Allan, and also told ine to take her discussion of this elsewhere. Please do so. I've had enough!

Your lack of (action) saying anything to allan about the abusive emails he sent in my direction, through this group means that you approve of abusive behavior.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 You know guys, PJ is right and I wasn't around last night but came to my email this morning only to find around fifty arguementive emails that I had to sit here and read. I am positive that no one in this group wants to read through this rubbish, take it outside the group. In my opinion, you all sound like a bunch of little kids fighting. Trust me, I have had my years of this. If this continues any further, I will unsubscribe myself JUST to get the peace back in my life. I love this group and the moderators....let's get back to affirmations here. Many hugs....Nola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
