I’ve been meditating with this question recently and it has brought up some interesting challenges and triggers along with some powerful insights. It has helped me identify some perceptions and beliefs I’m reluctant to let go, even they are no longer a match for me now. It has also helped me understand reasons and causes for reluctance to step forward and respond in certain situations.
Someone once shared with me the practice of changing “responsible” into “able to respond”. We sometimes mistake responsibilities with obligations. An obligation is a duty, task, something that can feel like it has power over us. We can choose to see responsibilities as opportunities to contribute and be of service, as moments when we are in a position to participate as a member of a community, whether that’s a partnership, a family, a neighborhood, the world or the universe.
Divine Responsibility is being able (and willing) to respond with our whole selves, not just our physical actions but our whole energy and intention. We can trust in the Divine Wisdom of the whole and let go of the need to control other people’s choices. Divine Responsibility is about discerning when it’s our place to take action and when it’s time to step back and give someone else the opportunity. It is free of judgment if no one else does step up. The focus becomes, “What can I do?” rather than, “What did you do?” We can focus on what we can each offer and do it with joy for the greater good, rather than tallying up a list of who did what or worrying about whether our contributions measure up.
Are you mistaking responsibilities for obligations? What do you need to shift within to free yourself of obligation consciousness and step into your divine responsibilities? Take a few moments to meditate on these questions: What are my true responsibilities?

Slowing down, being patient and honoring divine timing has been coming up for me recently. Needs and desires for accomplishment, even spiritual accomplishment, keeps us in a state of unease and unrest. I was guided to revisit a blog post by Marsha Hankins, Stay Present and Reverent in the Moment, in which she quotes a beautiful passage by Thich Nhat Hanh that speaks to me deeply. I share this quote with you here:
The ability to be fully present and reverent in each moment is a skill every spiritual master practices. To quote the beloved Master Hanh:
“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves- slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.”
Do not get caught in the illusion of what is important or in the fear of what might happen. Do not give your power to the structure by which others live their lives. Instead, drink your tea slowly and know the importance of who you are in each moment. Be reverent in every thought and deed. Trust in the divine plan and let reverence be your focus this week, this month, this year.

Who am I as Love? I’ve worked with this question in the past and it has recently come up for me to revisit. In Standing in the Light®, we work with resonances through our intention, specific frequencies of being such as Love, Wisdom, Power and Peace to help us remember who we truly are. These are feeling states, reminding us how it feels to be all the flavors of the rainbow that is Source. Asking this question helps me to envision and understand these feeling states in action in my everyday life. If I were experiencing myself as the living embodiment of Love, what would I do? What would I say? What choices would I make? How would I feel?
You can pose this question to yourself for any resonance you’re guided to work with. What would Peace choose in this moment? How would Compassion respond in this situation? What does Wisdom know about this experience? And so on.
Working with this exercise helps me reach a deeper experience of full, living mastery- fully conscious embodiment as Source in motion. It can become part of your practice as a reminder of who you are in every action you take. Who are you as Love?

Do you have faith in the experiment? This question came to me recently from my soul, and I realized the answer was, “Not completely.” This question was not about allowing myself to be attached to the Experiment in Duality or giving my power away to something I believe is outside myself. This question is helping me get clarity on my false beliefs about the experiment and my lack of faith in the creators of the experiment- all of us. We collectively set our intentions for the experiment, created the amazing structure of the experiment and designed how we perceive the illusions of the experiment. If I don’t trust my experiences as part of the experiment, then I don’t trust in myself or all beings as Source.
As masterful creators, everything we have set up as the Experiment is in divine perfection. It is beautifully designed for the function we intended, even if we don’t like what we see or feel. It has all the elements we need for the learning and expansion we’ve chosen and it is also structured to help us remember who we are and come back into oneness when we are ready. Even in breakdown, it is functioning perfectly.
We hold the consciousness of the Experiment in Duality within each of us. It’s an illusion that anything is “out there”. If we are judging or blaming the experiment for what we don’t like, we are judging and blaming ourselves as Source. When we are ready to transcend the experiment reality, we have only to let it go completely. There is no other place to go to get away from it or leave it behind.
Take a few moments in meditation to connect with the consciousness of the experiment’s creation and our collective intentions at its inception. Ask the question: What do I need to remember about my intentions for the Experiment in Duality to take my next steps forward?

Watching from my deck as a hawk circled overhead, I was in awe of the seeming effortlessness of his soaring. I was wanting more of that in my life but felt like I had lost my connection with that feeling. Life was feeling like a struggle.
As I kept watching in awe at the beauty and grace of his movements, I realized that in order to achieve that height and take advantage of the upper air currents, the hawk still had to put in some effort of flapping his wings to create lift and, having reached the altitude that would allow him to glide from current to current, still had to occasionally flap his wings to course correct and stay aloft. What appeared so effortless still required some effort.
What I remembered in that moment was that it isn’t about getting to a point where we no longer have to put in any effort but rather how we experience the efforts we’re making. To the hawk, flapping his wings to achieve the needed lift so that he can achieve that state of perpetual gliding is completely natural, requiring no thought, no inner debate. It is not hard work. It simply is.
I had lost a sense of ease and flow in my life not because I got off track and now needed to bushwhack my way back. I simply needed to shift my perspective of the track I was already on. Like all divine truth, simple if not always easy.
