Life - Empty & Meaningless - Consciousness
L1 - You are Responsible
Current Status
Society of dead people, Sleepwalking
Victim, Life is a Struggle,
Superiority in Victory and Inferiority in Defeat
War with World to prove how great he is
Insecure
Creating islands of security through
knowledge, money, status, skills and relationships
Others are Responsible
Rearrange’ the outer world, thinking that this will make him safe, secure and lovable
L2 - We are Responsible
Become more accommodative, lenient and compassionate
Realize he was operating on autopilot
Aware of choice (conscious)
Choose not to allow the past to intrude into the present.
One chooses love, not fear,
freedom, not bondage.
Realizes that our experiences are shaped by our perceptions,
the way we see and understand things
and our understanding is shaped by our beliefs, ideals, judgments, values, superstitions—in short, our conditioning
L3 - I am Responsible
Realizes that the outside world is an ‘occurring’ one
People have three different reactions
Ranging from ‘in favor’, ‘
against’ to
‘indifferent’ or
a combination of these three
Our life is not about unfolding events,
but about our relationship with events
that shapes subsequent events.
The same event can be perceived as an opportunity or
a threat depending on our viewpoint
And this viewpoint depends on our conditioning.
how does one change what’s reflected—one’s conditioning?
Religion explored it at the emotional level, psychologists at the mind level, biologists through genes and New Agers through the influence of conditioning at the energy level.
I have a Choice.

The shift is impacted by 1. raising the level of awareness about what’s happening, rather than focusing on interpretations. And 2. raising the level of understanding about the nature of conditioning and how it binds an individual.
The new poser: ‘If I had no say in my conditioning, in the arising of my thoughts and no say in the unfolding of events in my life, if all I am is a programmed organism with no will, no choice of my own, just a mere puppet, how can I be held responsible for anything in life?’
IMHO: 1. Conditioning may be changed.
Thoughts may be controlled / aligned by meditation.
L4 - Nobody is responsible
The individual becomes a ‘witness’ of the events in the outer world
In accomplishment there is no aggression to stamp one’s personal authority on an event, and in failure there is no escapism through blame or vanity
Detachment from Outcome [Gita]
The individual becomes a ‘witness’ of the events in the outer world and the occurrence of thoughts, emotions and sensations in the inner world, witnessing the actions automatically happening through the mind-body organism.
Witnessing as a Soul
no guilt, no pride, no hate, no envy
No free choice
Nothing happens unless it is the Will of God
Surrender to Supreme [Gita]
Acceptance
Nothing is in one’s control
My dilemma => This seem to imply why to take 'Action'?
Up to L3 - There is Ego (in terms of 'I')
L5 - Nothing ever happened
It is all a dream, a universal dream.
The only thing is that a character who has realized he’s only a character does not care any more for enlightenment or freedom
In the fourth and fifth levels of consciousness, life has no purpose, no goals, no ambitions, no agenda, nothing to accomplish, nowhere to reach, nothing to become.
Life is lived in the now, in the moment,
spontaneously, in full acceptance.
My dilemma => How this inspire to Act?
