Dear Ones..
What a delight to have tea and connect hearts with each other! Getting to know each of you in a more personal way is a joy to me. May we deepen in our ability to RESPOND to all life in the requiredness of each moment and may we take full response-ability for our lives and the spheres we offer our life energy and love to. And may we continue to hold the high watch..seeing and holding the most expanded outcome of this alchemical initiation that we are engaged with as a species! I am sending deepest love and blessings to you and your journey!!
In Devotion..ariel
Please consider doing some kind of gratitude ceremony for our Mother Gaia on Fall Equinox Tues. the 22nd, as that is a potentized day of re-balancing energies on the planet in her behalf!!
Responsible is defined as making good decisions and caring for others.
Reliability. Trustworthiness.
Answerable or accountable, as for something within one’s power, control, or management.
The opportunity or ability to act independently and make decisions without authorization.
These are the standard cultural definitions of responsibility, however the root of the word belies its more intrinsic meaning.. response: The ability to respond or make a response.
So to act responsibly is to have the ability to actually respond to the requiredness of each moment and each situation. And I might add that only when we are actually centered in and operating from the present moment do we genuinely have the ability to fully respond optimally to any situation. So much more awareness reveals itself when we are not distracted with thoughts, agenda’s, cell phones, and constantly listening to the mental chatter station that occludes so much of our ability to respond to the richness of our life experience. So that ability to respond actually comes right down to enhancing our ability to have the real data of the moment to make clear, life engendering decisions.
Another aspect of the definition of responsible is trustworthy and reliable. That too in the feminine is looked at differently than in the culture at large. Yes, if you want to cultivate deep intimate relationships, of course it is of value to be trustworthy and keep your word to engender trust in that relationship. But if, as in the feminine, you are operating in the “requiredness” or flow of the moment, sometimes that disallows your being totally “reliable”.. as the moment isn’t always predictable or precisely timed to fit someone else’s expectations of your being reliable. So this aspect of the ability to respond in the moment, requires the development of the skills of fluidity and patience, such that one can remain in the flow of what is real in the moment without reaction, blame or blowing a fuse about someone or ourselves not being “reliable”.
Responsible is defined as making good decisions and caring for others. The opportunity or ability to act independently and make decisions without authorization. This moves us into the more empowered feminine way of looking at acting responsibly as coming from a position of sovereignty, that is, perceiving oneself as complete and whole unto oneself and thus able to make decisions independently without asking permission of anyone to make those decisions. Giving away ones power in bending our knowing or truth under the will of another, is not acting responsibly in respect to the self or those one is caring for. It is ours to model for those we care for what it looks like to act responsibly by making empowered decisions that serve our spiritual evolution.
“ At the level of pure frequency no matter what others are doing, you are the only one who is responsible for what happens to you. There is nothing in the external world that in the least way determines your feelings and experience. Your life is entirely governed by your vibrations, what they tell you and how you respond!” Thaddeus Golas The Lazy Man’s Guide to Enlightenment
Questions to contemplate at our Responsibili-TEA:
When have you been in a situation where because you were utterly present and thus responsible in the moment, there was a different outcome than would have happened had you not been present and responsible in the moment?
Do you often capitulate your inner knowing, bending to someone else’s will, feeling as if you cannot act independently as you are guided. What are the circumstances or appearances that appear to push you toward making that disempowered choice?
Is part of your spiritual curriculum currently (under the present cultural conditions) assisting you in learning to be less rigid, more fluid and patient, thus being with the requiredness of living responsibly in the moment more of the time? How does that show up for you?
