Teaching idea #82

Suggestion appeals to us because we feel we need something. We are highly suggestible as long as we have an ideal. To get over being suggestible we see that we're already the recipient of every gift Life could bestow on us.

Audience: (Talk about the "X", talk about the divine)

R.G.  When we talk about the conscious person, we're talking about manifestatons of the divine. We don't know what the divine is like. That's why we call it "X". We know only that it does the appropriate thing for the information receives. It apparently has no sentimentality or anything of the sort to try to please you know matter what, it just goes to what information it receives, okay? And if we give it the kind of information we would call spiritual, it does beautiful things. If we told it to rob banks, it would do a good job of it. If you told it to kill somebody, it would do a good job of that. I don't see "X" as having personal preferences. I don't think it has that at all. But it will do anything it has given the correct information about, or incorrect information, it goes on that to. So, I think that it behooves us to be careful of what we're giving this tremendous power. I think that's the part that's divine about it. That it behooves us to be conscious of where of what's going on so we don't give it false information for it to act upon because it will, okay? Is that enough said about it? That's about as far as I can go.

From Gibson notes

Teaching idea # 322. We are spiritual beings only when we are responsible.

Responsible - is what I am for my actions, feelings, responses etc.
Duty- is what I have for work I accept, agreements I make with others. I can take on or lay down duties.

To confuse another persons responsibility with "my" duty creates untold misery.
Many people are stimuli response organisms. They disclaim responsibility for their actions, feelings, and responses, and blame others. When two or more of these organisms are in a relationship, there is chaos. If one should discover freedom, all this changes for the seer. The stimuli response organism is responsible to grow beyond. No one else can do it for another. (my duty to discuss)

The only way to harm another person other than physical violence, is to believe, suggest, and/or act as though the other person is not responsible for all their states, other than outside physical violence.


Rights-that which I do not have
Privilege-That which I have and and can maintain, enhance, and gain more of by my own effort.
To confuse privileges with rights is the best known way to lose privileges.

Freedom-is to choose my response, if any to any stimuli

The more responsibility one accepts (for oneself) the more powerful one is.
If we agree to be responsible, we are able to experiment with energy.
