RESPONSIBILITY

Responsibility (Defn:)

Response ability, the capacity and capability to respond (and not enter a reactive state). The capacity to be consciously present within ourselves, and from this non-aggressive energetic space, choose to contain and constructively direct our internal energy, with the intention to liberate unconscious beliefs and behavior.

I am developing the capacity to be responsible for my actions and my intentions.
I am becoming aware that to use this capacity with others requires an ongoing commitment to understanding deeper and deeper subtleties in understanding myself and how to approach, inquire and develop awareness and compassion for my blind spots as well as extending this compassion for the blind spots carried by others.

These blind spots are where my internal energy does not flow freely and has become frozen (or stuck).

This stuck-ness in my internal energy flow causes me to revisit and re-experience my blind spots as current, in-the-moment reflections, brought to me by messengers (the people in my life that carry the messages that trigger my reflections and projections).

It is very easy to become tripped up in our reflections and projections and the emotional and mental bias that is running rampant (yet to be seen and integrated) in our human operating systems.

As we (I mean me and at least one other person here) learn to reward and reinforce each other for learning and taking responsibility for our side of relationships, we build trust and we grow the capability (muscle) and capacity (persistence /endurance) to transform unconscious beliefs and behaviors.

This is the work that I am being called upon to awaken to.
This is what I dedicate the rest of my life on this planet to.
