Re: Reminder to some among us (the mission parameters)
Hi Anchor,
My apologies for not getting back to this sooner Anchor. Further, I'm only up to my 2nd cup of coffee, so I'm hoping this all comes out with clarity. May have to edit later...
The crux of lucky # 13, taking responsibility for others when called upon to do so, has to do with my personal definition of love. Love = responsibility. Loving thy brother as thyself = taking responsibility for thy brother as you would for yourself (Golden Rule = application of the Law of One). It is the question, where is the love in this moment, or, what can I do to bring love in this moment?
In a universal sense, love = responsibility = sovereignty/presence (reference the symbolic meaning of The Throne Room in Revelations) = the biblical sheperd = christ consciousness in manifest = faith (responsibility for who you are) + hope (responsibility for and surrender to what is) + works (manifestation of the spiritual into action - the divine blueprint or purpose).
Apply this to any set of archetypes, whether the Tarot (journey of the soul to union or sovereignty), astrological signs or biblical disciples (interesting that the number 13 fits so well here), personality types (ego manifestations), the seven deadly sins etc, and it leads to a miraculous discovery... anything other than universal oneness (whether in thought, word or deed) = separation consciousness = the only real illusion. The journey is the path to discovering that everything appearing real is in fact the illusion.
Fear, anger, resentment, disrespectful disagreement, malice, self-loathing, arrogance, secrecy and any other of the myriad resistance/ego mechanisms that we find in the various threads on this or any other forum are the manifestation of separation consciousness, which is the absence of or resistance to love as defined above. Remember that TRUTH is in the experience, which cannot be communicated without fictionalizing it! Therefore all truth comes from inside and by definition cannot come from anything outside. The ego fights this fact 24/7! The ego searches for its truth in the exterior world. Argument is its primary tool!
Therefore taking responsibility for others when called upon to do so = bringing remedy (filling the need as opposed to the want) without attachment and expectation and in absence of separation consciousness as defined above. It is BEING love, BEING one - the embodiment of the only thing that is real.
In other words, be like Mudra! =)
