Chapter XIII Responsibility

Might of the Thoughts Study Guide

Chapter XIII
Responsibility

One word that best describes Chapter XIII is Responsibility—as you’ve never known responsibility before.  Every condition in your life was created by you and the only one who can change your life is you, according to MOTT

Responsibility has already been discussed, but the way it is described in this section is a sobering wake-up call.  In a way, it is freeing to think that you’re responsible for everything rather than being at the effect of something you’re unable to change.  This is what life can feel like.  Meier’s detailed description of Responsibility seems to be yet another example of just how powerful you are. It’s up to you to awaken that power and wield it. 

For instance, since everything belongs to the one who created it by means of the might of your thoughts, you are the only one who is able to actually change it. 

Billy writes a bit more seriously about the absolute need for balance in life. If you are to live on Earth, constant balance must be absolutely fully developed. He writes that if balance is lost than life collapses resulting in misery.  Being responsible for watching your thoughts and maintaining balance leads to a successful life.

The old saying, “Live and let Live” should be changed to  “Live and help live,” which is more valid in truth.

Excerpts from the Might of the Thoughts – (Chapter XIII)


Therefore, once a human being allows himself/herself to be bewitched, impressed oppresses his/her own will and self-responsibility and becomes dependent upon the external influences; consequently, he/she directs his/her thoughts onto them and lets his/her thoughts increasingly spin, until they control him/her and he/she is no longer capable of his/her own creation of thoughts in a positive and equalized sense. ...Both the oppressor and the oppressed behave fallibly and against all natural-creational laws of balance and of responsibility which must be individually borne. 

The fact is that the creational-natural laws and recommendations give their help in rightness to those who are magnanimous, virtuous, studious, honest and fair, because they alone evolve in conscious form according to their pre-existing striving and effective sense of life, while the others—the fallible ones in the matters of evolution and the resulting fulfillment of obligation and observation of responsibility—fail and fall prey to pure, material values which bring no success in the form of consciousness-based and spiritual progress.

And everything beautiful and true in life, as well as all cognitions, all knowledge and all wisdom, lead back to thoughts.  Even the formation of the nature and the world quite simply leads back solely to the might of the human beings’ thoughts, because every form of formation is based on one previous thought or an entire series of previous thoughts. 

Therefore, if a human being lives constantly with pure, noble and exalted thoughts in mind, which only ever linger with that which is pure, positive, healthy and selfless—then he/she also builds in himself/herself a pure, noble, healthy and positive character, a corresponding morality and disposition and personality, and indeed he/she does this as certainly as the Sun reaches its zenith.
