When most people hear the word responsibility they unconsciously feel that is associated with a tremendous burden. That is by design but again it couldnt be further from the truth. Let us look at the word closely. Responsibility may be broken apart to respond ability or more correctly your ability to respond. It is your ability to take action! When you say you dont want to take responsibility for something, what you are doing in effect is giving away your power to respond, and putting it in the hands of someone else, this is a subtle and deceptive way of getting control over others. If people feel the pressure of responsibility they will be more inclined to give away their power so someone else can tell you how you should live your life, use your energy and your resources. That is a big part of why you have so little of them, you have been continuously robbed. Another point is that when we hang onto anger, resentment, guilt, hate, jealously, or other negative emotions we are telling the universe that we want more of the same. We are asking for situations, people, and events that will give us reason to continue with our negative beliefs, and we lock ourselves into a negative spiral into further suffering and conflict. What he said is that we need to take the feelings out and bless them. That doesnt mean that we are somehow acknowledging that what was done to us was acceptable or valid. What anyone did against you, they have also done against themselves and will have to pay for it in the future; that is the universal law. What it means is that you take the unconscious pain, wrongs, betrayals, and all the anger, hate, resentments that you harbour and bring them into the light of your awareness, and dont judge them one way or the other. Simply acknowledge them, bless them and acknowledge to yourself that it is time to let them go, that they no longer have any useful purpose in your life. They have caused you enough grief by having to carry them, it is now time to let them go. That is one way to consciously process these painful memories, they reason we want to get them out of the way is because they are in the way of accessing our potential and expressing ourselves in creative and intimate ways. They rob us of our happiness, our vitality and drive us in the wrong direction and down the wrong roads often into the ditch of addiction. Trying to do anything in life with a ton of unresolved emotional conflicts is like driving with the brakes on.
