The Healing Effect of Love.
Fear is so pandemic in our society that it constitutes the predominant ruling emotion of our world, as we know it. Fear was also the predominant emotion among the thousands of patients treated during the decades of clinical practice. Fear is so extensive and takes so many forms that there are not enough pages in this book to enumerate all of its varieties.
Fear is associated with our survival, and so it is given a special accord in our minds. For most people, fear is so all-pervasive that their life really constitutes one giant set of compensatory devices to conquer their fears. However, even this does not suffice, so that the media present us over and over again with fearful situations, as in this morning’s news: “Terrorist group threatens to poison our food supply.” Such headlines are constant, as though to give the mind further opportunities to master that most dreaded of all emotions. As the lyrics of the song put it, “We are caught between a fear of living and a fear of dying.”

The Way To heal
The small self is to reject taking a polarized, right/wrong position, which makes it our enemy, and instead view life with loving compassion and see the intrinsic innocence of the child. We first see the innocence of the child’s consciousness and then the programming that is superimposed. It is because of the child’s lovingness and trustingness that it is so programmable, and we begin to see the innocence even within those who seem most hateful.
Out of compassion to see into the hearts of things, one finds the intrinsic innocence within the ego that then gets healed through that compassion and love. We can love our humanness and that of others, and instead of condemning it, we now say, “I see the seeming validity of that at that time.”
For example, instead of being ashamed of anger and hatred, we say to ourselves, “Well, being angry was inevitable at that time,” because a person who has never hated will not move up to Love since they have never cared that much about life. If one does not care enough about life to have gotten angry and actually hated, then they would be down at the level of Apathy.
When we look at our humanness from the viewpoint of forgiveness and compassion, we can then love it and hold it within our greatness. We look at our smallness like we look at the child and begin to heal it through understanding and compassion. When we do this, we are putting forth a very powerful energy field that is healing.
When we look at ourselves from compassion and lovingness, we begin to heal. We also now know that what we forgive in others is forgiven within ourselves and disappears from our perception of the world.
Our perception of the world begins to shift, and we begin to experience a world that is totally different. It is like putting on a different pair of colored glasses— the world is not the same, and we can experience it in a totally different manner.
The purpose of the Map of Consciousness is to create a context from which to view and experience the world and see that it presents whole new avenues that begin to open up automatically. Our intention, which is the capacity to heal ourselves as well as others, is now facilitated. It is the fulfillment of our own potential as we see ourselves move forward in our own realization of the truth.

The willingness to accept this truth lifts us up to a position to choose appreciation of the body instead of the ‘make wrong’ of the body; the lovingness of our life instead of the ‘make wrong’ of our life; the lovingness of the being that we are instead of the criticism of it.
We find that we have to let go of criticism, ‘attack’ thoughts, critical thoughts, and judgmental thoughts. We have to let go of putting ourselves in the position of being right and making other people wrong because the level of ‘right and wrong’ is at the energy level of about 180, which is that of negative thought forms. In other words, it has a deleterious effect on our health and life energy. If we are willing to let go of our illness, then we have to be willing to let go of the attitude that brought about the illness because disease is an expression of one’s attitude and habitual way of looking at things.
The specifics of healing a particular illness consist of
(1) letting go of resisting the sensory experience of it,
(2) no longer putting names or labels on it, and
(3) using no words at all. Welcome experiencing what you are experiencing in a very radical way and at the same time
(4) cancel the thought form and belief system, and
(5) choose the energy field of Love, which heals.
If we look at the basic physics of the energies involved, we can see why fear at calibration level 100 is overpowered by Love at 500 because these are exponential powers. Therefore, the power of Love is represented by 10500, whereas Fear is only 10100, a very big difference.
To put oneself in an energy field of 540 is to automatically heal oneself. A loving thought then heals, and a negative thought creates illness. Choosing to become a loving person results in the release of endorphins by the brain, which has a profound effect on the body’s health and happiness .
Happiness arises from the willingness to let go of that which is negative and to allow love to replace it in consciousness because the essential nature of consciousness, unless it has been impaired, is lovingness. We see this in the young child who is only innocence, and lovingness is the expression of the essence of human nature. It is as if the child has not yet been programmed to go into fear, doubt, or limitation.
It is essential to capture that essential expression of lovingness in order to help any illness within us, as well as to let go of the negativity of the belief system. How do we pick up the negative belief systems? We pick them up through television and well-intentioned people.
Their intention is to prevent these illnesses in us by educating us about them. Instead, we find that the mind is now programmed to accept a specific belief system. Unconscious guilt then comes up and utilizes that belief system, which causes an impairment of energy flowing through the energy fields that run down through the twelve meridians of the acupuncture energy system.

Compassionate
Listening compassionate listening is crucial. We listen with the willingness to relieve the suffering of the other person, not to judge or argue with her. We listen with all our attention. Even if we hear something that is not true, we continue to listen deeply so the other person can express her pain and release the tensions within herself. If we reply to her or correct her, the practice will not bear fruit. If we need to tell the other person that her perception was not correct, we can do that a few days later, privately and calmly.

Releasing Tension
When we come home to the present moment, we become aware of our body, and all of our tension is released. Everyone can practice paying attention to their breath, perhaps repeating these words, “Breathing in, I am aware of my body. Breathing out, I release the tension in my body.” You don’t need to be a Aikido practicer to practice this. You can sit in whatever position you feel comfortable, and practice releasing the tension and tightness in your body. One or two minutes of practice can already make a big difference.

Situations develop automatically. We do not need to fit ourselves into special roles and environments. I think many of us have been trying to do that for a long time, limiting ourselves, pigeonholing ourselves into narrowly defined sets of circumstances. We spend so much energy focusing our attention in just one place that to our surprise we discover that there are whole areas we have missed.
Q: Can one act with compassion and still get things done as they need to be done?
A: When there is no speed or aggression, you feel that there is room enough in which to move about and do things and you see the things that need to be done more clearly. You become more efficient and your work becomes more precise.
Q: Where does the attitude of warmth come from?
A: It comes from the absence of aggression.
Q: But isn’t that the goal?
A: As well as the path, the bridge. You do not live on the bridge. You walk over the bridge. In the experience of meditation there is automatically some sense of the absence of aggression, which is the definition of dharma. Dharma is defined as “dispassion” or “passionlessness,” and passionlessness implies absence of aggression. If you are passionate, you want to get something quickly to satisfy your desire. When there is no desire to satisfy yourself, there is no aggression or speed. So if a person can really relate to the simplicity of the practice of meditation, then automatically there is an absence of aggression. Because there is no rush to achieve, you can afford to relax.
Because you can afford to relax, you can afford to keep company with yourself, can afford to make love with yourself, be friends with yourself. Then thoughts, emotions, whatever occurs in the mind constantly accentuates the act of making friends with yourself.

Most people seem to have a vested interest in the negativity of their perceptual world and resist leaving it for awarenesses on a higher level. People seem to derive sufficient satisfaction from their endless anger, resentment, remorse, and self-pity to actively resist moving on to such levels as understanding, forgiveness, or compassion.
There seems to be sufficient gain in negativity so as to perpetuate ways of thinking that are obviously illogical and self-serving, much as politicians distort the truth in order to gain votes, or criminal prosecutors suppress evidence of the innocence of the accused in order to obtain a conviction.
When these negative ‘gains’ are relinquished, the world becomes an endless presence of intense beauty and perfection, and love dominates all of life.
Everything is self-luminous, and the joy of its divine essence shines forth, radiating through its all-present formlessness, which is expressed in the perceptual world as form. There is no further need to ‘know’ anything because there is no further need to know when one is actually all that exists. The mind in its ordinary state merely knows ‘about’. That is no longer necessary when one is everything that can be. The Identity, which replaced the former sense of ‘I’, has no parts or divisions. Nothing is excluded from its totality and its Allness.
The Self has become the Essence, not different from the essence of everything. In nonduality, there is neither a knower nor that which is known because they have become one and the same. Nothing is incomplete. Omniscience is self-completion. There is no desire for the next second of experiencing that propels the ordinary mind, which, from moment to moment, always feels incomplete.

The human mind constructs its scenarios of goals and desires, and events are either concordant with them or not. Both tragedy and victory occur only within the limitations of the dualistic mind and have no independent reality. Everything in this world seems to arise and then dissolve within the limitations of perception. Inasmuch as Reality is beyond time, space, and form, it is immaterial whether a ‘thing’ or a ‘person’ exists for a split second or for a thousand years.
Thus the struggle to live a few more years or even a few more moments appears to be an empty illusion because existence is not experienced within time at all. This moment is the only reality that is being experienced; all else is an abstraction and a mental construct.
Therefore, one cannot actually live seventy years at all; only this exact, fleeting moment is possible.
In the reality of nonduality, everything is complete, and desire is replaced by appreciation. As life evolves, each living thing is the total expression of its potentiality at any given moment. Motivation as such disappears, and action takes place as a phase in the process of potentiality actualizing. There is, therefore, no actor behind the action. There is, instead, a sense of completeness and total fulfillment in every moment. Enjoyment of physical needs is the product of action itself.
The appetite for eating, for example, arises out of the act of eating, with no prior desire for the next bite. If eating is stopped by an interruption, there is no feeling of loss.
The joy of life originates out of one’s existence at any given moment, and the awareness of continuous completion is an aspect of the joy of existence. The totality of the Oneness of the All cannot be ‘experienced’.

When we look within ourself now with the intention of self-healing, we see that intrinsic innocence and understand what program was set up. Now we have to re-own that innocence which is so crucial in all spiritual work as well in personal psychological research and introspection. It is important to always keep within our awareness that whatever we bought was out of the beauty of that which we are. We bought it out of our own love, trustingness, and integrity because we projected our own integrity onto the world and thought it was a place we could trust in and believe anything we heard or read.
We were programmed to believe that sometimes it is very useful to lie, to tell someone that “The check is in the mail.”We were programmed with the idea that the only way to survive as a body in this world is to tailor the truth a little bit (called ‘creative business ethics’), but did we not buy that out of our own innocence? We thought that was what one had to do in this world to survive, so we guessed we had to do that. Of course, when we do that, we pay the price. Anytime we go below the line at 200, we pay the price, which is the loss of our power within the world.
That is what the anger is all about—“I lost my power. The source of my happiness will never be returned to me because it is outside of myself. I have projected it out there.”The healing of it comes from the willingness to look at the truth of it, to say to oneself, “Out of my innocence, like other humans on this planet, like most of us, in fact, I bought a certain way of looking at life in which the source of happiness is, first of all, outside myself, and secondly, it is always in the future.”

If we begin to question our values and reevaluate our position with them, whether we like the term or not, we are really doing spiritual work. What is spirit? What is the energy of life itself? We have a decision to make about its form. We can decide what to give meaning and value to. Within that energy field called consciousness, we have great freedom. It is up to our own inner choice.
By merely seeing that we have the choice of what we want to give value to, we re-own our power. We move up from victim to source and begin to accept the return of our own power, which we have given away to the world. With that comes an inner state of serenity from experiencing the value of our existence, knowing that we need no proof, and that the world does not have to do anything. We do not need to bring home any trophies to give it value because we see its value within ourselves. We see, treasure, and hold sacred the value of life itself. We accept that which is given to us with thanks. With gratitude we hold the essence of that which we are without asking that the world give us back anything that we have demanded of it.
In doing that, we move into an invulnerable position. We are no longer prone to the disappointment, anger, rage, or turning against ourselves with thoughts of suicide—that hopeless, fallacious idea that by killing the body, we will kill the source of our suffering. By owning that we, ourselves, are the source of our suffering, we transcend it. By transcending it, we bring about that inner healing, which is the purpose of this chapter.

The energy field of Compassion is one that can be elected. We can make a commitment to lovingness as a way of being, so this requires no belief in God or any theological spiritual system. It is a commitment to lovingness that nurtures and supports life in all its expressions. It sees Divinity in all things as it moves up to an even higher level where it begins to see the perfection of all life.
Compassion is a way of knowing and looking into the hearts of others. Due to the release of endorphins at this level of revelation and transfiguration, there comes an awareness that the separation between oneself as an individual and another self as an individual starts to break down. It is almost like the beginning of a oneness of the heart, a knowingness—not a thinking-ness, but a way of being.
The level of revelation in the high 500s then opens the way to transfiguration and compassion that lead to ecstasy and the states close to 600. These are states of bliss and the beginning of states of illumination and enlightenment. They are often accompanied by feelings of Light. For example, the room lit up when Bill Wilson of AA had his spiritual experience. He said the room was lit by the Infinite Presence (cal. 575).That was the beginning of the approach to the energy field of 600. The Radiance suffused out into the world as the worldwide, great Twelve-Step movement through which Alcoholics Anonymous has brought about the recovery of millions of people.

The person in these energy fields cannot be satisfied and becomes frustrated and angry. The angry person then sees a competitive world, a world of conflict and war, of ‘me against you’. This person looks out in the woods and thinks the tall trees are competing with the small trees for sunlight. This is the matrix of the political/social view of cultural perpetrator/victim. This concept is projected onto a field where no such thing as competition is even happening. This person lives in a world of endless possibility of war and conflict and sees everything as competition, not as cooperation.
People who are fixated at the level of Pride would see this as a world of social ranking, so when walking down the street, they would notice the Gucci shoes, name tags, clothing labels, status, the kind of car they would want, or the house they would like to live in. Everything is classified in terms of status, and they are preoccupied with a social-image positionality.
When one reaches the level of Truth and Courage (cal. 200), the world now appears to be a place of opportunity. It is an exciting, challenging place with opportunities for growth and expansion. That person opens the newspaper and sees the endless opportunities for man to grow, to meet those challenges and even go beyond them, and to learn in the process. That person is excited about life.
At the level of Neutral (cal. 250), life and the world is ‘okay’ due to one’s being nonattached. Everything just becomes okay. One moves into an easygoing view of the world and begins to say, “Well, that’s human nature. That’s the way it is. It’s serving some kind of ultimate purpose.”

The persons in a dispirited state of grief, regret, loss, and despondency come from the loss of the will to live. They walk down the street and see a sad world. This is actually experienced. We know that when we are in a sad state and walk down the street, we see the children and old people and think,” How sad.”We look at the buildings, see mankind’s condition when we open the newspaper, and think how sad life is. Our own energy field is coloring everything else. It is as if we put on colored glasses and then experience everything as being colored by this energy field.
People dominated by fear perceive this as a world of danger, a threatening, frightening world that is in constant jeopardy. When walking down the street in that energy field, they see danger all around them. They see threats and muggers everywhere; they think there is a rapist under the bed; and when they open the newspaper, they see the frightening conditions of life with its jeopardy and danger. They live inside their house, lock their car in their own garage, and then lock the garage that is attached to the house, which is locked and inside a fence, which is also locked. (Fear can be transformed into a more positive expression as caution.)
Having more police really does not help because where will the police be when one’s house is robbed? Of course, they are going to be at the other end of town, so that does not help. Trying to change the world does not assuage the fear energy because it is really coming from within one’s own energy field.
