Zebeen’s Thoughts on Taking Responsibility

The Secret is out in case you have not heard. The secret was whispered into my ear way back in 1995. Though I have used the Law of Attraction by honing my thoughts, I find that Sandra’s Byrd’s book fills in some gaps.

In 1995 I embarked on one of two spiritual journeys; I began the second journey ten years later. The first journey took me inwards just below the surface and I did some surface clearing. It is the same way I used to clean my counters or my house- I wipe around objects. The one thing that did penetrate the many layers of my psyche and my soul however, was being told that I was responsible for all the crap, the gooey, slimy stuff in my life.

Norma Cowie, my spiritual guide, told me that I created the drama, the bad jobs, the rocky relationships, and anything else negative and positive in my life. Well, at first I was in absolute shock. What did she mean that I created all the bad stuff in my life? I sure as hell was responsible for all the good, but the bad, no way! That ain’t right. My parents were to blame. My lousy boss’s were the reason I was unemployed so many times. I mean should I be blamed for walking away from stupid, incompetent, lazy, blah, blah, blah people? Worst still, should I be blamed for attracting these events, circumstances, people into my life? To sum it up…YES!

Once that pill settled in my stomach, and the threat of nausea passed, I was left to think about what I had been told and I made a choice. I accepted what she said in the intent it was given—to snap me out of my deniability stage. Once acceptance took over, well, wouldn’t you know, I had to forgive myself for all the crap I brought into my life and promised myself and the Universe that I will have pleasant, positive thoughts. But most of all, I promised to take responsibility for everything.

I bring this up because of Paris Hilton. Before you all go wondering if I think about her—in the Secret, what you think about, you bring about and since I don’t want her bony ass coming to my door, I don’t think about her— but, she is a great example of someone who does not take responsibility for what she has created. And she is a perfect example of the Universe being stronger than all her money and scapegoats. No matter how many alligator tears she cries and how many tantrums she has, and how many people she can blame, she will be forced to “man-up” one way or the other. If awareness does not happen now, she will attract yet another situation and so on until she gets it. In the meantime, she will be a paparazzi’s dream and society’s nightmare.

Taking responsibility is the grown up thing to do whether you are five or 95. So when you wake up one day in the backseat of a police car, by all means cry, wipe your nose, than ask the Universe, okay, I got myself here, now how do I get out? 45 days in jail with a bed, toilet, sink, and three-square meals a day is shorter than a life sentence of repeating the same mistakes and living in hell.
