Self-responsibility and self-liberation

Only you have your worldview with all the bells and whistles, because that is what defines you as an individual. Everyone else sees things in a different way, a completely different way if you ask them, even if you have points of contact. Your motives for everything you want and everything you do are accordingly individual. Although we try to find and emphasize similarities in order to feel secure or to assure ourselves of mutual help, we actually know how little we really share. Strictly speaking, nothing at all. Or if we take "share" to mean "divide," then we divide everything – into individual perspectives, unique ways of being, unique emotional tones.

So who is the first instance of their change? Everyone themselves, of course.

But how can we control an individuality with which we identify so strongly that we fall asleep and wake up with it? Is there consciousness where it "comes from"? I think there is. But even if we explore our dreams, for example, most of that consciousness will remain subconscious – simply because it is too big.

However, we can take the consciousness we know and use it to question our interface to everything deeper. To do this, we must temporarily change our perspective: to that of an observer of our own attitude. We are constantly changing our perspective anyway, a little bit with every thought and emotion, while the worldview we identify with is actually a wholeness of these changes. Now we take a small part of this wholeness and push it "sideways up" so that we can "look down" on what our greater self is feeling, thinking, and doing. From this perspective, we can now veto the one or other habitual decision of our ego and let it take a better path.

Of course, the observer is not completely independent of the ego. This is not necessary to significantly increase the diversity of perspectives. We will sense when feelings arise only after mental judgments and, if we are attentive, where these judgments come from: from past experiences, solidified assumptions of reality (beliefs), and half-hidden ideals. We use our consciousness to increase its freedom (of choice) and can thus increasingly liberate ourselves.

Here is my quick guide. Points 1 to 3 can also be used "live" to make more conscious decisions this time. However, the prerequisites for a sustainable overall program are regular undisturbed time alone, the willingness to take more responsibility for yourself, and the stubborn will to solve your own problems instead of repeatedly fleeing to distractions.

  1. Take the perspective of an observer.
  2. Trace any unpleasant feelings in relation to the situation and allow them to be felt.
  3. Identify beliefs as the cause.
  4. Identify the cause of the beliefs, such as repressed traumas.
  5. Release old feelings, work through traumas, re-evaluate, integrate.
  6. Make room for new feelings, change beliefs.
  7. Living from the liberated inner self.
