The question of responsibility

[Jeremy]

Do you have to do anything?

Your desires being inherently followed with your most significant efforts, is not your only responsibility to follow these desires and not suppress them, whether they consider others or only the empowerment of the self?

Why suppress the desires of the self into any willful and obligatory "responsibility" if the self will inherently follow such responsibilities? Why change the self if the self is inherently loved?

I do what I want, I do what I want.

Do you have any other point?

Exactly.

You are treading a fine line on this one Adonai. One sacrifices self serving desires so that one can be of service to an other self. It's perfectly ok to embrace ones desires but it's also ok to ignore certain desires so that an other self may benefit. Being a supportive partner or a parent are perfect examples. There are responsibilities one must take on so that the partner or child can benefit. Such responsibilities aren't looked at like a defeat or a suppression, quite the opposite actually. They are looked at as a gift to that other self because of the love one has for that other self.

The I do what I want when I want mentality wreaks of immaturity but it also teeters on an STS path. Knowing and working upon the self is indeed a service to the creator, I know that. But it also has to be for the intent to improve the self so that it may be of service to others and not just the self. To concentrate solely upon the self with complete disregard for others, is not what I think was intended by such inner work.
