| 60. THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY Greetings, my dearest friends. Blessed be this evening | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| amounts to just that: you wish freedom without self-responsibility. Thus you wish for a pampering, indulgent god | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| yourself the part where you desire freedom without self-responsibility. With the method of our work, it should | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| desire at least in some way: freedom without self-responsibility to the full extent. You may wish to | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| toward life as a whole you still refuse self-responsibility, yet you desire utter freedom. If you think | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| the basic truth, that freedom cannot exist without self-responsibility, is not outside but within the human soul | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| go of the illusion and to assume full self-responsibility seems so hard to you that fear of | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| will fall right in if you really assume self-responsibility. Therefore, you constantly strain away from it, stemming | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| result of the unreasonable desire for freedom without self-responsibility. It is the idea that you can come | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| fear can exist only because you deny your self-responsibility. Therefore, others must be responsible. If you did | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| to the Utopia of having freedom and refusing self-responsibility, you could easily perceive that you are indeed | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| are truly willing and prepared to accept full self-responsibility, the vision of truth will prove to you | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| you see the truth and the importance of self-responsibility. In addition, self-responsibility will cease to be something | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| truth and the importance of self-responsibility. In addition, self-responsibility will cease to be something to shy away | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| good part of the reason why you reject self-responsibility. By making independent decisions, you are bound to | 60 THE ABYSS OF ILLUSION -- FREEDOM AND SELF-RESPONSIBILITY |
| is ready to face himself, thereby assuming true self-responsibility, he or she will increasingly be drawn into | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| inwardly. The very reluctance to assume adulthood and self-responsibility makes a person prey to the fear of | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| permits viewing anything as black or white. True self-responsibility is the only safeguard and can come only | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| responsibility from yourself. But a child cannot assume self-responsibility. ANSWER: It is understandable why you would think | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| put it the other way around: By assuming self-responsibility, you solve the problems. QUESTION: We are all | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| one person or a hundred. As long as self-responsibility appears to be dependent on the number of | 61 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| QUESTION: I would like to ask something about self-responsibility. Would not self- responsibility lead to irresponsibility toward | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| it is hard to even begin answering it. Self-responsibility is not only completely incompatible with irresponsibility, but | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| have at least grasped the real meaning of self-responsibility. Otherwise, your responsibility toward others will always fall | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| thus deceiving themselves about their own lack of self-responsibility. And now we come to the part of | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the long run. It is not true that self-responsibility has anything to do with selfishness. If you | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| myself alone, what then am I? COMMENT: And self-responsibility means only that we are responsible for our | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| different way, but of course you are right. Self-responsibility does not mean that you just go ahead | 63 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
