You're responsible. Harsh? Not a bit!

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10

I've heard loud protests from people over the years who challenge the idea that "If you don't like your life, you're responsible." "That's so harsh!" they say.

Is it? Or is it simply an expression of Divine Law, always present, always the same? It's just a very direct way to say that the cause of conditions in your life is not "out there" in the weather, the economy, or what other people do or don't do. It's within you, in your very own conscious awareness.

To create new circumstances or experiences in your life, change your consciousness. It's up to you. Nobody can do it for you.

Far from being harsh, "You're responsible" is the perfect order of the universe in which we live. And here is a wonderful secret: when we pray "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" we are calling forth our awareness of Divine Law and affirming our willingness to align with it in our own consciousness. With this understanding we take responsibility for living in harmony with fundamental Truth.

This Truth is no more harsh than gravity or magnetism or electricity. It just is. And when you realize this, you can see that you have the choice to align with it or to resist it. To get in the flow of life or to swim upstream against it. To let go and let God or assume that Divine Law doesn't apply to you.

So when I say, "If you don't like your life, you're responsible" I'm challenging you to put down the struggle, stop swimming against the current, and quit spinning your wheels making up your own rules to try to override Divine/Universal Law.

You're responsible. It's the easier, gentler way.
