Leunamros, (in regards to Anchor's post) I didn't feel Anchor was separating himself from his ego. I bet he knows the ego is a part of him... therefore not placing blame on something other than him self.


Either way (even if you did place your blame on ego), I applaud you for striving to become better Anchor. Seeing ones faults and striving to correct them is very honorable.


I believe it's natural for mistakes to be made in this time/place (maybe even intentional). At times I know I should be living as my higher being. If I had not had experienced some things when I was younger, I would be very angry (and extremely disappointed) with myself and others because of the irresponsibility that I see in this life.


When it comes down to being responsible for choices, actions, & effects. I'm unmovable in knowing the connection.


I certainly take 100% responsibility for my actions and effects. Good or bad, I wouldn't have it any way except to take responsibility for what I am, do, create, & affect (In deed this is certainly our power Leunamros). But I do have to say that there are powerful outside influences that persuade negative actions, and people on Earth (here/now) are submersed in these influences.


Before living this life I would say that humans on earth deserve hell if they choose to create it (I still believe that). Even now I can hear the old me sometimes says "humans deserve hell!" (because they/we create it), but a split-second later my higher self envisions our current reality more accurately. I know how effected (or should I say "in-infected") we are.


It'll always be true that we're responsible for our actions (our creations & effects). We deserve what we create no matter where our actions take us (we deserve to retain the power of our beings & our effects). But now that I've gotten a chance to live here/now. I understand how powerful outside influences can be within a set-up system of darkness and deceit (Influences of society and way of life). I DO NOT give up responsibility of my actions & effects by identifying other influences. If anything It gives me clarity to know there are road blocks to simply being my highest self here/now.


No matter what the road blocks are (call it ego, or any other situation that keeps us from being our highest self), I still feel disappointed with the irresponsibility that I see lived-out here. BUT at least now I know there is alot more going on with behavior, then people simply choosing (whether consciously or sub-consciously) to be irresponsible.


I know we (Earth humans) have great powers. We're not weak or stupid like I thought (before I awoken to myself). But, I also know how powerful the road blocks are, which keep the people of Earth from being all that they can be. I don't blame the road block for our troubles, and I don't give up my responsibility because we have road blocks. I just identify the blocks are there, and do my best to over come them.


Earth is a school for learning, & I love this life!!!
I love the challenges which create opportunities to learn and grow! No matter what challenges we have, I'm absolutely grateful and appreciative for the opportunities that life brings!


One of the things that makes me most happy is to see others who choose to seek out and find faults. People who willfully choose to grow and become better once they identify a road block that might keep them from being their highest self here/now. (I'm sure everyone on this forum is here to do this and it's awesome! )


Thank you Anchor!
