I concur with everything said on this thread, but allow me to offer a very slightly different perspective.
One can see "not teaching what you are learning" as a "violation" of the "Law of Responsibility" that then gets corrected in the form of undesired events in one's life. Almost like it's a "punishment" for not living according to what we understand to be true, or as Ra puts it "not teaching what you are learning". However, it's also valid to simply see the Law of Responsibility non-normatively, as an ideal of alignment between what the spirit conveys, how the mind conceptualizes it, and how the body manifests it.
To the extent that these three areas of our being are in harmony, we can process catalyst and ground our experience with maximum efficiency. This is a condition of "taking responsibility" for the increases in power, love, and wisdom that accompany evolution and allowing spirit to channel through the mind into the body with fidelity. The Creator's will is stepped down or channeled through the mind into material manifestation, allowing for all levels to be engaged in the Creator's experience of itself.
To the extent they are misaligned -- we do not think in line with our inspiration, or we do not act in line with our thinking -- catalysis is generated for experiences that announce and articulate the misalignment in increasingly coarser, harsher, and less easily ignored ways. These experiences allow us to identify the manner in which there is a misalignment and choose to either "take responsibility" for addressing it or "take responsibility" for the suffering that not changing our minds creates.
I really appreciate Jade's points on free will because it strikes me as very important to understand the degree to which our confusion makes our third density concept of free will possible. It is a confusion borne out of the veil that cloaks one part of ourselves from another. But the way in which that confusion presents also appears to me to involve a mismatch between these different layers of ourselves, not understanding fully the many levels on which we exist and serve.
The work of being a Creator experiencing itself seems to me to have something to do with the manifesting spirit through mind into the material illusion, which serves as a kind of inflection point that yields back up to the Creator the novelties inherent in experiencing a mere portion of itself as contrasted with the totality of pure spirit. It is our very confusion, it seems to me, that yields the most novel experience to the Creator, and in our material experience we encounter the most separate, most limited, most discrete and finite, and therefore most focused representation of the Creator's vastness. Perhaps this is where faith comes in: even when we're confused, our belief in the rightness of things, our refusal to shut down and determination to pay attention and participate in the confusion, all of this empowers us to yield back the fruit of our unfathomable lives to the Creator.
I apologize for any derailment I've introduced.
