The Law of Responsibility

[zenmaster]

My understanding of the Law of Responsibility is: as an ability to grasp the lessons increases, which also could be put as increased awareness to understand the lessons, there comes a responsibility to put in practice/manifest these understandings while making the choice/refining chosen polarity.

There is an honor/duty/responsibility to live/act/be what you have learned to understand.

Another way to put it would perhaps be the Law of Honor?

Yes, it's having an ability and knowing about it. But it has nothing to do with actually accepting that aspect in oneself. So given free will, knowing, yet either accepting or rejecting that aspect of oneself has consequences (the 'law' or principle which operates to some end when the ability is made conscious).

Note that the natural lifespan was much longer before the ability existed. So after the ability existed, the collective decision was to not accept it (that is, not use it due to cultural constructs and values), and that pattern was placed into the collective mind complex for all to enjoy in their individual experiential nexus. It's like an 'instreaming energy' that was inherited but wasted, so the entropy builds and we struggle (in the dark) to find what was lost. This inevitably takes the form of unconscious questions (allegorical lessons in a sense) from the collective, and these questions attempt to restore balance to the current condition. The potential for this collective patterning was put into place from 'karma' - unresolved, specific misunderstandings about one's relationship to self and to otherself.
