Understanding The Law Of Attraction
Responsibility
Equals Abundant Personal Power
Responsibility: response – ability. The ability
to respond. We are each of us imbued with this omnipotent gift.
Whether or not we apply it, and to what ends, determines the
face and shape of the world we all live in.
A
self-responsible individual makes their own decisions and
takes ownership of all repercussions of their actions without
ever attempting to control or blame anyone else. Responsibility
is a choice. Anyone can argue logically and rationally for
their own lack of responsibility for anything, pointing the
finger at another person or circumstance or situation, or God,
or fate, or random chaos, for their predicaments.
But in doing so, they put all the power to effect any change
on that someone or something else. But by deciding, instead,
to be responsible for all that appears in your life, you claim
that power for yourself, putting the power to change what needs
changing in your own hands.
Oftentimes a person will find, upon taking responsibility
for that which they had previously been laying blame, that
nothing actually needed changing other than their own attitude
about the situation, than their own state of mind.
Responsibility is a state of mind. So is blame. One is powerful
beyond all measure. The other makes one utterly powerless.
Everything
is connected. All things are individual extensions
of one singular energy underlying everything. Call it The Source,
call it Life Force, call it God or All-That-Is. Whatever you
call it, it binds us all inextricably together as interdependent
parts of a boundless whole.
Nothing is truly separate from anything else. And therefore
everything affects everything else. You cannot have a thought
or a feeling, make a choice or take an action, without it having
repercussions throughout the entire Universe. With that in
mind, it becomes ever more apparent how critical it is to be
responsible for the thoughts and feelings you have, the choices
you make, and the actions you take.
A Hawaiian spiritual practice known as Ho'oponopono
advocates taking 100% responsibility for everything, whether
you are "actually" (or
better put, "directly") responsible for it or not.
Yes, this includes horrible things like violence, war, and
crime.
Taking 100% responsibility for even those deeds of another
is a radical approach to life that actually empowers you to
effect real and measurable change in those areas.
Dr. Hew Lem, an accomplished teacher of modern
Ho'oponopono is reported to have healed an entire ward of
the criminally
insane without ever meeting a soul there, by simply reviewing
the case files then going within and asking himself, "What
is going on inside of me that is causing this other person
to be, do, or feel this way?"
On the surface, it seems ludicrous. Certainly Dr. Hew Lem
is doing nothing to these other people, certainly not controlling
their thoughts or actions. But on a spiritual level, everything
he thinks and does affects everything that everyone else on
the planet thinks and does. And therefore deciding to take
100% responsibility for the thoughts and actions of another
has a very literal impact on the thoughts and actions of everyone
else.
That's the secret of how one person can save the world. By
taking responsibility for it all in their heart of hearts,
then making the changes inwardly that they wish to see made
outwardly. In truth, it's the only way there is to save the
world, or to change anything in the physical realm at all.
By owning it. Because once I own it, I have the power to do
with it what I choose.
Responsibility is the end of helplessness and victimhood,
and the start of abundant personal power.
