RESPONSIBILITY and BEING CAUSE IN
THE MATTER
Responsibility
is declaring oneself as cause in the matter. It is a context from which to live
one's life.
Responsibility is not a burden, fault, praise, blame, credit, shame or
guilt. All these include judgments and evaluations of good and bad, right and
wrong, or better and worse. They are not responsibility...
Responsibility starts with the willingness to deal with a situation
from and with the point of view, whether at the moment realized or not, that
you are the source of what you are, what you do and what you have.
It is not
'right," or even "true," to declare oneself as "cause"
in the matter. It's just empowering. By standing for yourself as cause,
"what happens" shifts from "happening to you" to "just
happening" and, ultimately, to "happening as a result of your being
cause in the matter."
