Responsibility

It can be a little bit of a shock to realise that we are completely responsible for our own well-being. By gently familiarising ourselves with the beneficial clarity that is the basis of all experience then we gradually become accustomed to this.

The first place we see this benefit is in our own lives as from the vantage of clarity we have a much more spacious context for all of our fleeting thoughts, emotions and sensations. We recognise that we don't actually have to be a victim of these unpredictable appearances but instead can choose to become grounded in the stability of clarity.

As the recognition of our basic "okayness" dawns then we see that all the time and energy that we put into trying to fix ourselves can in fact be much better utilised to help and support other people. This is such a relief and we can take our place a mature members of the Human race.
