The spiritual path, once embarked is
not an easy path to take. Often people think you are opting out of
life and responsibility of self. For most people it's much easier
doing what everyone else is doing. That way everyone around
understands what you are doing. Yet, when you ask them to take
self-responsibility many of them find this an alien concept of taking
responsibility of how you create your life. That's the difference.
There are those who will do just about anything so they they do not
have to contemplate that maybe, just maybe they are the creators of
their current life.
Having said that, why would they want
to take responsibility, to think you are responsible for creating
your misfortune is not a nice thing to be responsible for. Yet those
who are very fortunate materially are very content to take
responsibility. Yet the answer is not a simple one. You can't just
point it to one thing or several things in this life. We are all
complex beings with different energetic influences affecting are
situation. Some are from this life time, some from past life, some
genetic and other generational. Now, it's not about blame and
finding fault. It's about understand and deleting the problems.
Last year I decided to study NLP,
TimeLine TherapyTM, and Hypnosis. It gave me new techniques for
working with on this path and I incorporate into the healing work I
do. NLP is about learning to be on the side of taking action not
being a reactor in life. Most people react to situations very few
take action. Taking responsibility is the same thing. It's about
looking at any particular situation in your life and decided how you
want to respond to it. This requires recognizing how you are
responding and then working towards changing your response and over
time you start changing how you respond to a particular situation.
That's why the spiritual path and the self development path, however
you want to look at it is not the easiest path because for most
people it's easier to just say 'that's the way I am', the acceptance
of how they behaved in the past is the way they will always behave.
Whereas for the person who is taking responsibility for their life it
is all about changing their response. It doesn't matter what the
other person does it's about accepting how you have responded,
understanding how you want to change it and then working towards that
change.
What self-development though various
tools provides is a means to make those changes. It could be through
the use of affirmations, hypnosis, deleting past behaviour and
creating a new response as on NLP techniques, removing limiting
behaviour, doing meditation, following a spiritual path etc.
My own experience has taken me down the
meditation path, then the spiritual path and then learning various
techniques to speed up the process. What the whole process requires
is a belief in there being a different way of being to the way you
have been and believing you can change for the better. Our beliefs
and values help us to take responsibility in life and having a human
existence. I believe my beliefs and values should enable me to have
a spiritual life in my current human experience. I believe we are
spiritual beings, light beings here to experience what it means to be
human. So why not make your human experience the best you can on all
levels. To do that you need to be responsible for your behaviour,
reactions to all situations. It means you stop creating excuses,
causes etc as they simply amplify the sense of not being responsible
for things in your life.
I say congratulations to everyone who
is attempting to take self responsibility in their life. As this is
a difficult process to go through especially as many people who do
not want to take responsibility ready to rubbish what you do.
Congratulations and keep going. You
are brave and courageous to take this road and keep the strength up.
Get to know other like minded people who can support you on this
path.
The journey does get easier and it is
rewarding for the deep peace and love you feel inside and knowing you
can always be honest and truthful to the light inside.
Peace Truth Love and Light
