WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
“There are at least THREE DEFINITIONS OF RESPONSIBILITY, each of which have a lot to do with creating or preventing workable solutions.
RESPONSIBILITY DEFINITION ONE: THE ORIGIN POINT OF AN IDEA, ACTION OR OBJECT.
It is easy to see that if Dorothy had taken more responsibility for the actions of her dog, Toto, she could have avoided getting into trouble with Miss Gulch. Although Dorothy’s dog is the origin point of the trouble with Miss Gulch, Dorothy was not willing to take responsibility for it.
Example: Scientists build atomic bombs and genetically engineered diseases capable of killing all life forms on the planet. The scientists place the responsibility for their actions on the government who hired them to do it. Members of the government pass the buck back and forth between themselves. The individual voters and citizens of the country take no responsibility for the government. No one is identified as the origin point of the bombs or the biological warfare weapons, so these weapons continue to be a threat to survival to every being on Earth.
The origin point of bombs and biological warfare weapons are the scientists who make them. Scientists build bombs, not politicians. If the scientists refused to build the bombs, there would be no bombs. Without such weapons, psychotic politicians would have to resort to killing people with their own bare hands.
RESPONSIBILITY DEFINITION TWO: THERE IS A BEING OR GROUP OF BEINGS WHO ARE THE CAUSE OF EVERY ACTION, PHENOMENON OR EVENT.
The concept of responsibility is not one of assigning blame. It is simply the concept that the being who causes an action, phenomenon or event is the owner of his causation. Once a correct cause is found, the mystery or problem is solved and a workable solution can now be created.
Example: A man murders another man. He goes to court to stand trial for his crime. The court allows a psychiatrist to convince the jury that the murderer is not responsible for the murder (that is, HE did not cause the death) because he was “insane” or “mentally incompetent”. Based on such psychiatric “logic”, the criminal is set free to kill others. This is not a workable solution.
RESPONSIBILITY DEFINITION THREE: WORKABLE SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS CAN BE ACHIEVED WHEN WE ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND SOLUTION.
One can take over control of a situation and become the cause of it even if one is not the source of it. When one is willing to become cause and assume responsibility for solving mysteries and problems, workable solutions can be found.
Example: A man witnesses an automobile accident from across the street. He races to the scene and pulls the driver from the burning wreck just before the car explodes, saving the life of the driver. The man in this example has ASSUMED responsibility for the accident. He decided to BECOME cause for the life of the driver even though he was not the cause of the accident. His decision to become cause resulted in a workable solution.
Every problem or unworkable solution can be traced to:
1/ failure to locate the correct origin point of the problem
2/ failure to determine which being or beings are the cause of the problem
3/ failure to assume responsibility as cause for discovering or creating a workable solution.” ~ The Oz Factors, by Lawrence R. Spencer

WHAT IS LOVE?
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
“Love” is not a good word. I don’t like it because it has too many different definitions! Most of the time people use this word in a sexual context, which is a very small and limited definition. So, I spent a little time to study the different definitions of “love”. Here is what I found out:
Here is the dictionary definition of “love”:
1 a (1) : strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties < maternal love for a child > (2) : attraction based on sexual desire : affection and tenderness felt by lovers (3) : affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests < love for his old schoolmates >
b : an assurance of affection < give her my love >
2 : warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion < love of the sea >
3 a : the object of attachment, devotion, or admiration < baseball was his first love >
b (1) : a beloved person : darling —often used as a term of endearment (2) British —used as an informal term of address
4 a : unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another: as (1) : the fatherly concern of God for humankind (2) : brotherly concern for others
b : a person’s adoration of God
5 : a god or personification of love
The origin of the word “love” in English is from the Old English word lufu; akin to Old High German luba, or Old English lēof (dear), Latin lubēre, libēre, which means “to please”.
The Greeks used the word “agape” to express a purely spiritual love.
The word “Platonic” is Intellectual love, like the love of Art, or Beauty, or love of Learning, etc… This also applies to a genuine affinity or admiration between non-sexual relationships, as between friends, or companions.
“Amorous” and the Greek word “Eros” (erotic) are words for sexual or romantic love. For example, it is very easy for sexual partners to feel “amorous” toward each other, which is simply the “attraction” or “chemistry” caused by the biological programs inherent in many life forms. However, this does necessarily include a perception or understanding that there are spiritual beings inhabiting the bodies of the “love makers”.
The word “affinity”, which is the perception of how CLOSE or how DISTANT one feels emotionally, intellectually, spiritually or physically toward a thing, a being, or subject, or idea is a more accurate definition for non-sexual “love”. The CLOSEST that two entities can BE is to BE THE SAME, i.e. there is NO Distance between them.
In the book Alien Interview, the UFO pilot, Airl, uses the word “admiration”, which she says Is-Bes all desire more than ANY other quality.
“Another common denominator of IS-BEs (spiritual beings) is that admiration of one’s own illusions by others is very desirable. If the desired admiration is not forthcoming, the IS-BE will keep creating the illusion in an attempt to get admiration.”
Admiration means:
1 archaic : wonder
2 : an object of esteem
3 : delighted or astonished approbation
4: : a feeling of great respect and approval
There are words like “devotion” and “adoration” or “worship” that express a very intense “admiration” that contain “reverence”, “honor” or “respect”.
Then there are the concepts of “care” and “compassion” and “benevolence” which are often used for the feeling or emotion of mother and child, or between friends and companion, or by an individual for other members of their own race, or for life forms, or the universe at large.
This may be a quality of “love” of god for its own creations. This necessarily implies the willingness and ability to be Responsible for the creation and continued existence of what has been created. This kind of “love” may be all-pervasive, and eternal.
Ultimately, each individual has a personal experience, feeling or understanding of what “love” means for them. There may be as many definitions of “love” as there are beings who create or experience it.
