"but how do you understand the Law of Responsibility? is it akin to karmic law, or the law of cause and effect? or is it deeper metaphysically?"
To quote Spidy's Uncle Ben, "with great power comes great responsibility."
The Law of Responsibility is constraint on the thoughts, words and deeds of the individual who has become aware of the greater spiritual truths, like Ra's teachings here. The constraint is voluntary out of respect/honor for the otherself.
Newbie spirits or those who are unaware of the Greater Truths have great freedom. If they infringe, they do so out of ignorance, not malice. The world is a playground.
But as you gain spiritual awareness, you must (adopt/assume/model) Responsibility. You no longer can indulge in infringement of other selves; because you know better. Identical actions (stealing a piece of candy, e.g.) for the spiritually aware is more significant and fraught with consequences than the same action taken by a new soul or one who hasn't yet learned the spiritual lessons of the Earth Life School.
Ironically, as we progress down here and grow in understanding of the greater spiritual truths, we become more and more constrained in action. We must be mindful, so as not to accidentally infringe. We must think twice before giving "good advice" or assistance, because maybe the other person needs to work through the catalyst alone to pass beyond it. If we intervene, we might harm by enabling the very thing the other person most needs to overcome.
And yet, the opposite is also true. As we learn and understand the greater spiritual truths, we must also take action. We cannot simply discuss these truths with other like-minded people on web forums and blogs. We must engage the world at large and put our understandings into practice.
The Law of Responsibility is something only the spiritually aware must honor. To ignore it causes depolarization. It is not enough to make the Choice STS v STO. One must put the choice into practice. It is the act of giving/serving other that opens the Heart Chakra, not deciding "I choose STO." It is the act of exalting self and getting ahead in the world that opens the Orange, Yellow, and Blue Chakras, not the choice to "serve only myself." The Choice, in and of itself, is impotent.
The Law of Responsibility is the duty to implement your Choice in everyday living.
