The Law of Responsibility

[Confused]

You might be interested in looking further into the Law of Responsibility and its relationship to spiritual entropy. It's an interesting related topic.

Yes, Peregrine, that is exactly right. That is why I pulled up this thread. In describing 4th density, Ra said that the following -

...it is a plane wherein individual differences are pronounced although automatically harmonized by group consensus. (LOO 16.44)

Thus, I assume that it is a plane where the focus will be a lot on free communication from one to the other. Simply put, most of the problems due to poor communication would be dealt with more effectively, I guess. Though that may seem to be a very commonplace observation; it is quite notable from current generic human relationships that lack of an effort in communicating with clarity can breed extreme discomfort even in the most intimate of relationships.

my experience is that once accepting the reality of the LOO there is a responsibility to live the LOO, that the brighter one's light the harsher the catalyst experienced when not living in alignment with the LOO

Hi, Lorna. Going strictly by the LOO, I think it is slightly difficult to assume that the brighter one's lighter, the more amiable the catalysts become. I say this due to the following words of Ra -

The seeker which has purely chosen the service-to-others path shall certainly not have a variant apparent incarnational experience. There is no outward shelter in your illusion from the gusts, flurries, and blizzards of quick and cruel catalyst.

However, to the pure, all that is encountered speaks of the love and the light of the One Infinite Creator. The cruelest blow is seen with an ambiance of challenges offered and opportunities to come. Thusly, the great pitch of light is held high above such an one so that all interpretation may be seen to be protected by light. (from LOO 95.24)

I think it is the level of mental transformation that matters in terms of dealing with catalysts skilfully while within the STO framework. I agree it is much easier said than done.

the closer to the light, the more powerful creative effect of thoughts are. you become responsible with what you create.

That makes perfect sense. In fact, in one another place in the LOO, the 'Law of Responsibility' is closely related with the manifest conditions of lived experiences on earth -

By the end of the second cycle, the Law of Responsibility had begun to be effectuated by the increasing ability of entities to grasp those lessons which there are to be learned in this density. Thus, entities had discovered many ways to indicate a bellicose nature, not only as tribes or what you call nations but in personal relationships, each with the other, the concept of barter having given way to the concept of money; also, the concept of ownership having won ascendancy over the concept of nonownership on an individual or group basis.

Each entity then was offered many more subtle ways of demonstrating either service toward others or service to self with the distortion of the manipulation of others. As each lesson was understood, those lessons of sharing, of giving, of receiving in free gratitude—each lesson could be rejected in practice.

Without demonstrating the fruits of such learn/teaching the life span became greatly reduced, for the ways of honor/duty were not being accepted. (LOO 22.5)

I think the 'ways of honor/duty' is synonymous with the 'Law of Responsibility'.

Well yes...as one strives to be more accepting and caring of others, actions and thoughts towards others must be further refined, depending on how aware one is. One who doesn't care about others, naturally has a lot more freedom with how they act since they do not care if they treat others in a "less than perfect" way..

Thanks for saying this. It immediately reminded me of the following quote -

Those who choose separation, that being the quality most indicative of the left-hand path, are protected from other-selves by a strength and sharpness equivalent to the degree of transformation which the mind has experienced in the negative sense. Those upon the right-hand path have no such protection against other-selves for upon that path the doughty seeker shall find many mirrors for reflection in each other-self it encounters. (LOO 99.8)

I guess for those on the positive path, the 3D illusion is truly a hall of mirrors for the self. May be that is why Ra recommends self-acceptance very highly.
