The Law of Responsibility

[Sacred Fool]

By the end of the second cycle, the Law of Responsibility had begun to be effectuated by the increasing ability of entities to grasp those lessons which there are to be learned in this density. Thus, entities had discovered many ways to indicate a bellicose nature, not only as tribes or what you call nations but in personal relationships, each with the other, the concept of barter having given way to the concept of money; also, the concept of ownership having won ascendancy over the concept of nonownership on an individual or group basis.

Each entity then was offered many more subtle ways of demonstrating either service toward others or service to self with the distortion of the manipulation of others. As each lesson was understood, those lessons of sharing, of giving, of receiving in free gratitude—each lesson could be rejected in practice.

Without demonstrating the fruits of such learn/teaching the life span became greatly reduced, for the ways of honor/duty were not being accepted.

I don't quite understand the full implications of their statement (especially with regard to the non-demonstration of the fruits resulting in the reduction of the life span) but I draw your attention to the section I bolded and underlined near the beginning of that quote, the "...increasing ability of entities to grasp those lessons..." seems to indicate increased awareness leading to increased responsibility.

This is how I would venture to interpret that. If a being flunks Grade 3 one time, he has a greater responsibility to get it right when he repeats it. If he flunks it twice, there's even more pressure on him to get it right and get with the program. If, however, his teachers try and try to work with him and he simply fails to make use of the teaching, he's liable to descend in a downward spiral such as his life might, indeed, be shortened as he fails in his honor/duty . He may well end up on the corner with no health insurance or in jail. Or maybe he'd get a real job and distract himself with compulsive consumerism?


Hmmm, funny...this would bring to mind how our current educational system in the US of A seems FUBAR.
