Responsibility

[Guest guest]

It is important to review essential terms, the basic building blocks in our

view of the world and ourselves. The meaning of terms we take for GRANTED is

dangerous, because reacting on semantic as automatic robots have something

unethical in it.

 

What is RESPONSIBILITY?

 

I relate it to the chakra in the heart region. But it is uttermost important

to understand it from every angle thinkable, otherwise it will halt the

heart chakra unfoldment.

 

To take responsibility of our actions, thoughts and feelings, is to avoid

blaming OTHERS for what actually is within ourselves. There is a tendency to

project oneself to others, to "see one self in others". It is easy to

critizise the conflicts in Palestine, the terror attack in N.Y., killing of

innocent people on Balkan and in Northern Ireland... but what about

conflicts in our OWN life? Is it right to critisize Bin Laden or whosoever

"out there" if similar conflicts rage in a smaller scale in our private

life? In our neighborhood? In our family? Between one self and our

aquaintances?

 

What does it mean to "take responsibility of one's own life"? It may seem

like a statement with an undertone of Judgementalness. But to comprehend it

this way is equally wrong. To take responsibility is the uttermost FREEDOM.

It is to realize that we can create our reality 100 % !

 

Is there something you do not like around it? Recreate it! And Rejoice !

 

Responsibility is freedom. It is another name for detachment. I am not a

slave of frozen, subconscious patterns of suffering. Samsara is an illusion,

going round and round and round... recreating our misery because we do not

take responsibility, because we do not realize our inherent ability and

responsibility to break the circle.

 

But there is a serious warning involved. There is Yin/Yang, Plus/minus,

here. To take responsibility for one's life is NOT to take responsibility

for the actions of OTHERS. You are not your brothers or sisters conscience.

 

The energies in the front side of the heart corresponds to responsibility. T

he back side, the complementary part in the spine, can drive us into hell if

it's energies do not complement responsibility. Feelings of guilt, of beeing

an unworthy scapegoat, lurks as the opposite pole in the heart region. It

literally attacks us from BEHIND, when the front side of the heart chakra is

opened.

 

This happened with me personally between the night of the 4th and the 5th of

Dec. The muscles in the heart region of the spine went into spasmes. My arms

and hands became stiff. The spasms continued down to the spine of solar

plexus.

 

There were a blockage in the heart chakra FROM BEHIND, while the front end

was wide opened after a Tibetan meditation technique. The throwing up of

negativity was not overcomed until the morning dawned, when performing a

shamanistic act of protection based on runes, on the ancient lores up here

in the North. Blame and guilt have no room in Freedom. And those mirroring

their acts of crime unto YOU must face the consequences mirrored unto

themselves.

 

Instead of the butterfly flying into freedom, I will use the image of BIRTH.

The movement of the center to the heart region, to hridayakasham, is the

birth of the High Self in a mortal body, a new-born babe of expanded

freedom, which is the worst thinkable nightmare for all and every forces of

resistance in samsara, those forces inside-without (front) and

outside-within (back) which fears the absolute freedom of beeing able to

say: "No one else can make me happy or unhappy. Only Spirit, through my use

of divine power, can move me." FREEDOM !

 

Maybe these dichonomy is a bit Zen-similar? Maybe responsibility/freedom/

detachment is there allways, all ways - it is just that we do not realize

it?

 

Maybe the inherent freedom of that our self is searching from our Self is

just as "Ha, ha, ha" paradoxical as the student - Zen-master relationship?
