Greetings, My Fellow Blustering Wanderers!
In keeping with the seasonal changes, I'm curious about what frightens people most in the LOO material. Beyond the STS stuff which gets enough discussion already, I'm wondering who's scared by the positive stuff.
Bar none, I find the Law of Responsibility the scariest thing of all and I attribute to it a great deal of my unconscious reluctance to plow ahead these days in my own spiritual developement.
On paper it looks kind of stupid. I've worked like a sonofabitch to move closer and closer to my central self. But at this stage I can feel that the result of further slogging would be the gathering of a variety of hitherto disconnected aspects, not all of which are equally clean. The prospect of having to scrub all that down in due course--or else suffering the consequences--is a mite worrisome. I mean, I kind of like mild "contumely & discord" from time to time. My life at this stage is not ideal, I suppose, but neither is it terrible. I could hang out here awhile longer before jumping yet again off the cliff into the maelstrom...reliable Fool that I am.
It makes little sense to slow down now, but that's what I've been feeling myself doing for some time and I've come to understand that a reluctance to take responsibility for "propinquity to the light" (meaning, close proximity) is a major factor. I'm not complaining. It all makes sense. I know that the intensity of my seeking and that which is sought are both sitting together inside me, just out of reach. But still it's scary and fitting for the season, eh?
Below are some quotations to fill in what I'm referring to.
This last part is, I believe, is another matter and, I suspect, should scare me more than it does.
If anyone else is afraid of Light, Love, service or whatever I'd be interested to read about it as the nights grow longer and chillier and more shadow laden and the damned mice move indoors for the Winter...

Session 60 Wrote:At this space/time we may best serve you, we believe, by stating that the pyramid for meditation along with other rounded and arched or pointed circular shapes is of help to you. However, it is our observation that due to the complexity of influences upon the unmanifested being at this space/time nexus among your planetary peoples it is best that the progress of the mind/body/spirit complex take place without, as you call them, training aids because when using a training aid an entity then takes upon itself the Law of Responsibility for the quickened or increased rate of learn/teaching. If this greater understanding, if we may use this misnomer, is not put into practice in the moment by moment experience of the entity, then the usefulness of the training aid becomes negative.
Session 101 Wrote:Questioner: Thank you. Could Ra give information on any way that we could give information to (name) as to how to alleviate her present condition of swelling?
Ra: I am Ra. We may only suggest that the honor of propinquity to light carries with it the Law of Responsibility. The duty to refrain from contumely and discord in all things, which, when unresolved within, makes way for workings, lies before the instrument of which you speak. This entity may, if it is desired by the scribe, share our comments upon the working of the latter entity.
July 18, 1982; Jim Channeling Wrote:I am Latwii. My sister, this is correct. You have within this group a family of light beings and each, therefore, has the opportunity to accelerate its polarity and its evolution by means of the utilization of the information generated in these meditations and in the meditations which have resulted in the Ra contact. Therefore, the Law of Responsibility holds sway, so that where the opportunity to accelerate evolution upon the positive path comes into being, there must also be the balancing opportunity for the entity to choose the opposite path.
This last part is, I believe, is another matter and, I suspect, should scare me more than it does.
