Hello Sheri,
I read your article on Accountability and Responsibility and I have some questions to ask. From my understanding is that we take full responsibility for ourselves, our actions and who and what we manifest into our lives. However, does this mean we need to take full responsibility for everyone and everything that is in this world because ultimately we are all one?
If so, how can one not take things personally if we are all one?
I look forward to your response. Thank you.
Dear Angel,
Not taking anything personally includes even not taking yourself personally. Not taking things personally gives you emotional immunity to the things we do with ignorance in life. It helps us not to judge. The only way you can take something personally is if you judge it to be bad and get mad at yourself or another for it. And taking something personally is just the ego making everything about itself.
We create everything in our reality even as other people are creating us at the same time! So we can only view life from our point of creation. We understand we are not in control of others - yet in a way we are because once we change (we are the action) everything else changes (they are the reaction). The reason this seems like it does not make sense is because we are functioning in a world of seeming duality. But the duality is not truth. Once you deeply experience that you understand that you are a divine being and it is simply the point of view you chose to see from. You can see from both points of view even though they will never reconcile - in this reality.
Does this make sense?
Love, Sheri
Hello Sheri,
I understand what you have explained about taking things personally. However, is this your answer for responsibility also? Is responsibility and not taking things personally the same? I appreciate your insight!
Dear Angel,
No, they are not the same. Not taking anything personally is the outcome of letting go of the ego. Taking responsibility is something the ego does not like to do because it believes in judgement. It feels it will be judged and punished and it does not want that. It will avoid taking responsibility and blame what it can on others. Knowing yourself as god means that you know you are creating your life and why would god blame something on anyone or be a victim of anything? It does not make sense.
Does that help?
Love, Sheri
Dear Sheri,
Absolutely!! Just so I have this clear between the 2: Taking things personally is us judging ourselves and others; our self importance gets in the way of what really is. Responsibility is being accountable for ourselves, actions, thoughts etc and even what we manifest in the world, consciously or unconsciously. However, everyone is on their own path and what they do or not do is their responsibility. It is of utmost importance for us to do our best to become aware of our doings and/or not doings and especially where we come from because we are all one and the same.
Did I get this straight? Thank you.
Dear Angel,
That is much better! We do not take anything personally because truly nothing is about us (other people are god in the process of creating their dream). Yet, we take absolute responsibility for everything we are creating in our reality (from our point of view as us being god manifesting our reality). Both are truth in this world of duality even though there is only one being. We can only view life from our point of view, that is why we word it in this way.
Love, Sheri
