Spirituality, Responsibility & Transformation

Sooner or later it becomes clear to us that we are responsible for everything in our experience, and it is through denial that we negate responsibility. In the full realization of this there is no wriggle room and no get out clauses. Making anything other than ‘us’, and something or someone else’s responsibility, is denial pure and simple.

When we deny in this way we not only create separation in ourselves, but also from what it is in the external world, reflecting our separation to us. We cannot choose a view where we are ‘separate’ when we don’t like something, and holistic and into unity in a purely idealized way the rest of the time. We have to be living the truth to embody it.

When we remain in the consciousness of separation, there is very little responsibility outside the little pocket of reality that we occupy. This is partly why we have resistance to our evolution, because it requires us taking more and more responsibility and gets bigger, and keeps getting bigger.

Most of us, if we are really honest about it, are looking through spirituality, for

some kind of cessation. We want to never feel bad again in anyway. We want some kind of big ‘bliss’, ‘unity’, ‘no more suffering or worries’, maybe with a few special powers deal, where we can kick back and cruise but are still fundamentally ‘us’. I’m not knocking it – whatever paddles the canoe is fine. Spiritual evolution though is relentless and greater awareness becomes a deeper level of service. So our spirituality, I believe, has to be lived in the world. When we have recognised the boundary of separation, what are we willing to do to step across it? Are we willing to do whatever it takes

There are, of course, times when withdrawal from the world is of great benefit to our spiritual progress. But if our spirituality is somehow separate from the rest of our lives and how we live, then it is not embodied. Spirituality cannot be an appendage to our lives, which allows us to be more relaxed or peaceful but unchanged. Spirituality transforms, demands transformation
