All Ways Us Living Love - A Practical Guide

In challenging times, I turn to books. I have a few reliable titles that always anchor me down and out of my own head. Lately, I've found immense support and service from Ken Keyes Jr's, The Handbook To Higher Consciousness. I discovered this personal growth text about 5 years ago and immediately found it's direct, no non-sense explanations to be highly refreshing. I'm all for factual information and intellectual reasoning but I LOVE a practical guide. A step by step process for achievement. That's my favorite. And this is one of the best of it's kind.

Ever since I was introduced to Louise Hay around the same time, I've always been a fan of affirmations, so in my first effort with this book, I thought I could just simply learn the 12 affirmations or "Pathways" as Keyes calls them, and skate my way to higher consciousness. Not so. With years more wisdom I realize now that a steady practice of the "Living Love Way" offered in the Handbook is the route to seeing results.

Fortunately, I gave myself a good head start. I memorized seven of the 12 pathways all those years ago. And in the last few months, I closed out 8 through 12 and today I can swiftly repeat each one word for word. My study is as follows, every day I do my best to:
1. Say all 12 pathways out loud in the morning.
2. Read at least one chapter of The Handbook out loud.
3. Notice when I am leaving the present moment and implement a pathway to return me.

I will leave you with the first of "The 12 Pathways to the Higher Consciousness Planes of Unconditional Love and Oneness"
