Law of Responsibility is actually very simple to understand:
You are responsible with what you understand.
If your spiritual maturity has reached the point of being able to understand something, then you are responsible with living/doing according to that new understanding. Not doing so mobilizes cause-effect consequences which would be stronger according to the difference in between the understanding and the misaligned life or actions you take.
Mental conditioning, cultural biases, mental blockage, psychological issues, blockages, health issues - law of responsibility acts regardless of the situations preventing compliance with the new understanding.
Subconscious understanding seems to have stronger effect than conscious/mental understanding of something, and understanding something both consciously and subconsciously seems to be much, much stronger than just subconscious understanding.
The impact seems to be proportional to the strength and clarity of understanding, and the importance and impact of the particular thing that is understood in life of the entity, or the society and planet in general.
Example of a person who had been enjoying a corporate career in a high position up until the point s/he realized internally, subconsciously that that life course is not compatible with his/her internal drive and spiritual desires, but keeps continuing what s/he had been doing due to societal conditioning, financial concerns, backlash from his/her social circle, only to start suffering backlash due to law of responsibility is an example.
Backlash may be anything. Higher levels of stress, manifesting as physical or psychological issues to more severe impact, and even being unable to just force oneself to stomach one more day at the office. Or, the backlash can come from his/her social circle, with entities in the family or friends circle who end up having to bear the burden of the impact of consequences from law of responsibility due to sharing their life and energies with the entity in question - anything, depending on the circumstances and nature of the person is possible.
Just conscious realization of something doesnt seem to have too much effect. For example the same person understanding that the corporate career s/he is in is a thankless treadmill which will bring some benefits and security in the end, but not being a vivid and pleasant way to live, will not suffer much effect impact from consequences from law of responsibility, as long as there isnt an accompanying subconscious understanding.
The impact however, hits like a truck when a spiritual understanding is channeled to the entity's life through a subconscious and mental understanding. In such cases the effect is generally impossible to resist, and people end up changing their ways drastically in such cases. We can classify most of the cases which involve great life altering decisions by people in this classification.
Examples can be increased with however, whatever you may pick, since law of responsibility is all encompassing like any other spiritual law.
A person who subconsciously understands that animals have consciousness just like him/her, and realizes that eating another being would be as brutal as some other conscious being eating him/her...
A vegetarian person who subconsciously understands that plants also have consciousness of varying levels, and eating an uprooted plant is not so much different than eating an lower consciousness animal, or cutting down a tree is akin to killing a higher level animal...
............
Law of Responsibility is one of the most important spiritual laws acting on this society due to the tendency of this planet's society to denial, hypocrisy, irresponsibility and similar distorted behaviors.
Just as Ra mentions in one relevant quote, people would learn and accept the spiritual lessons and concepts they were given during initiation, only to discard all of them the moment they exit the temple.
Beyond societal irresponsibility, spiritual seekers generally have problems with the Law of Responsibility - many dont put into practice what they learn and understand.
Law of Responsibility is rewarding as well as punishing: When the entity acts responsibly according to this law, the positive impact of the consequences of acting according to the new spiritual understanding is also proportionally great.
In cases of higher seeking and more spiritual advanced-ness, an entity which consciously oserves the Law of Responsibility consistently would have more autonomy and power in taking decisions, spiritual and non-spiritual, akin to the principle that allows an entity to be able to plan its own life before incarnation to the degree of its spiritual advanced-ness.
