Come Walk With Me
Down this Path

If you have gotten this far, you must have a genuine interest in the experience of Love.

So walk with me a little further, if you will, into the
land of inner space, where love resides.

I have some ideas to share, and if they seem unreasonable, uninteresting or un-doable, you can always turn around and make your way back to the familiar path.

If you'd like to journey further into Love, let me propose some ideas for your consideration.


First, I would like you to know that love can be a much more intense part of your everyday experience.

And it depends on nothing else but you.

It is all a matter of how and where you focus your conscious awareness.

Oh, you do, first, have to be capable of feeling Love.


So, if you are capable of love, let's take this little journey into
Advancing Awareness.

It can change your life, forever! 

What if you could feel happier and more passionate about people and your interests – anytime, by just asking yourself a simple little question?

People talk about wanting to be happy, yet spend a great deal of time being stressed, by dwelling on unhappy thoughts.  Have you ever realized that you spend about 45% of your day in this daydream state called Brain Wander.  And here is the really strange part; a lot of the time we do not even know we are doing it.  And get this, when we are in this state, we are either uncomfortable or at best, neutral - that is, existing without feeling.

Here is a cool word for it:  Euthymia.  
It means the lack of feeling, neutral.
Euthymia exists between
Euphoria and Dysphoria.  

The importance of Euthymia is it allows you to create any feeling you want, when you are in th void of feeling.

So, why is it then, that we don’t stay engaged in thoughts and activities which give us a good feeling?

   
   For most, it is because no one has taught us how to
                                  "Think Well".                                

Thinking Well is choosing to intentionally think in calming, peaceful, happy and loving ways, when you are between the times when you are engaged in truly
"Productive Thinking".  

  "Productive Thinking" is consciously directed thought which includes recognizing problems, planning, and executing the plan, engaging in activities, socializing and loving.  Beyond Productive Thinking, no one ever tells us the best way to fill the empty thinking space between the periods of Productive Thinking.

And here is another amazing fact.  Even when we are in Productive Thinking, about 30% of that time is spent in daydream Brain Wander.  

 If you really look at the amount of time you spend in Productive Thinking verses all your other types of thinking, you will find you typically have a great deal of  time to decide what you want to think about.  But your Free-Thinking-Time will get taken up by your brain feeding thoughts into your mind - if you let it. Because your brain is programmed to think and be aware of danger,
your brain fills your mind up unnecessarily with disquieting stressful thoughts. 

Your brain is always looking for danger, just in case there is some.

If you don’t direct your Free-Thinking-Time consciously, the survival part of your brain often takes over and focuses your attention on possible dangers.  These include all YOUR concerns about not having or being enough, revenge thoughts, uncertainties and perceived threats, along with reminding you about all the things that you really don't want to do.  Finally, if that's not enough, Brain Wander will direct you to think about all your longings for the things you want and don’t have.

Thanks Brain Wander.


It is good to spend time knowing what you want and need, but don't allow yourself to feel longing or unhappiness because of something you don't have. Make a plan to get it and
execute the plan.  

Then Think Well. 

=======================

So
here is the way out of survival thinking
and into love based thinking.

Rather than let your brain “think you” with survival thoughts, you can use a simple question which will fill that empty thinking space and override your brain with your conscious mind.

Becoming fully aware and conscious means mastering the thinking of your brain with your mind.
This involves expanding your Executive Meta Awareness.

After recognizing the survival noises from the brain, and turning the volume down, you can consciously turn on
a simple little question.

Okay, I fooled you, a little, there are actually three simple questions, but you only ask yourself one of them at a time.  
And besides, you would have gotten bored if there was only one simple question.


 So, these are "The III Contemplative Questions" (The III Q's), which you can NOW keep waiting in the back of your mind.

They can be ready to be asked WHENEVER there is
Free-Thinking-Time

So, now you know
you can always be advancing your awareness into Love
by asking yourself one simple question.

Then

Contemplate on the answer.  Really give yourself the mental space to dwell on the beauty and amazing qualities of the person or object of your attention.

Then

 You are likely to get a feeling.

When you feel this good feeling, be with it. 
Enjoy it.  Let it feel good. And  really enjoy it.

The more you focus your mind on what you love, are amazed by or grateful for, the easier and faster the feelings will come. 

Then

Practice regularly redirecting your negative or euthymic thinking to thinking about one of The III Q’s?

It’s really as simple as that!

Do it daily and often and it will evolve into

 “Daily Conscious Loving”

======================= 

In addition to The III Contemplative Q’s, there are two other simple mental tools to help you keep your attention focused in a loving direction. 

The other 2  Practices for Thinking Well are:

For a full explanation (including using these 3 Practices to Spiritulize)

=======================  

Conscious Loving is nothing more than
experiencing love through your thinking and contemplation
which is entirely your self-creation. 

The End Result

You think about Love, you dwell on it,
you feel it, you act on it.

Could you be committed to being

consciously loving, everyday?

Consider taking the leap. 

Leap into the revolution of Daily Conscious Loving.  After all, what do you have to loose?  You could lose some unhappiness.  And you will lose the energy it will take to put in the effort to contemplate loving, happy thoughts, during your free-thinking-time.  If it is really that hard, don’t you think you should ask yourself, “Why?”  You probably think of yourself as a loving person, so why would it be hard to be a little more feeling and expressive with your loving feelings.  Do you think our lives might be just a little better if we spent 25 minutes, throughout a day, being happier by focusing on loving thoughts?  Why not notice the things you love when you walk between your office and car, or while you are walking down the hallway.  Why not think about what you are grateful for, when you wake up in the morning and before you fall asleep.   And what might it be like if each one of us had one nice interchange with a stranger each day; it could be as small as saying,  
“Hello” 
in passing. 

I can only hope you choose to walk a little further down this path with me.  I actually would really love to hear from you, if you wish to be a traveler on this path.  Drop me your contact information on the CommunityOfLove.com page and I’ll keep you updated on the progress of this up and coming community networking website, and such.  

The Societal Outcome

People ask the Question, why should I commit myself to becoming a more loving person?

The Answer

The more you love, the less you will fear and the more you will create peace and harmony inwardly and outwardly.

Only when there is love for ALL others,
will there be lasting peace in this world. 

At the same time, Love does not tolerate
the trampling of innocence.  

So, if you truly want peace on this planet, it should start as an ever expanding love within you.

Advancing Awareness has to start somewhere, will it start with you?

The Cause

Thanks for your company on this journey and hearing me out.  Should we continue to walk together, a little further?  I would love your company!

Let's make a new future, make the commitment to yourself.
