The Law of Responsibility

[ScottK]

Hello all,

Recently I have been guided to study and better understand the "Law of Responsibility." I have only found the two following passages on the phrase thus far:

Hey Xise,

Good question.  It led to a bit of contemplation on my part.

The first thing that struck me though in reading those quotes was Carla's unbelievable vocabulary..  propinquity?  contumely?  OMG..

I ran a search of the L/L site in Google - put "law of responsibility site:www.llresearch.org" in the google search box, and the best result appears to be from Q'uo:

http://www.llresearch.org/transcripts/is..._0407.aspx

Questioner: Yes, Q’uo, could you describe please the Law of Responsibility, how does (inaudible) that all (inaudible) on a spiritual (inaudible)?

I am Q’uo, and I am aware of your query, my brother. Each seeker in the process of seeking will find those resources that are of assistance in the revealing of the heart of love and the nature of truth to the seeker. As the seeker becomes aware of more principles, shall we say, that are applicable to the life pattern the seeker has the responsibility of utilizing these resources in the service to others and in the enhancing of the life pattern. If the seeker is unable or unwilling to use that which it has learned, then it will find greater difficulty in its future seeking in discovering further principles and resources that will assist in this process. Thus, the Law of Responsibility simply asks each seeker to use that which is learned to the best of its ability in the life pattern, in revealing love to self, love for self, love to others, love for others.

Or perhaps the cliff-notes version - "the iterative integration of love and truth used to the best of the seeker's ability", or something like that.

Knowing that, are we still allowed to eat ice cream?
