1 Video 131: Personal Responsibility The Loaded but Perhaps Most Important Words in our Vocabulary Written by Wes Penre, Mar. 19, 2019 This is a transcript to video: Hello, this is Wes Penre, the author of the Wes Penre Papers (WPP). Today, I want to bring up a subject that I know is a tough one for most humans, and I am no exception. It has to do with personal responsibility. I think we all have been in situations in our lives when we blame others, or certain situations, for what is happening to us, and then we leave it with that by saying, it s not my responsibility it s his or her fault. Although, it s true that we are not responsible for how others think and act, we are, however, responsible for how we act and react in every single situation in life, regardless of how unfair we think we have been treated. Unless we come to the point where we realize this, not much is going to change to the better in this world. Let s think about it. If something bad happens to me, caused by another person, and this person s action significantly affects me in a negative way, is the situation going to be resolved for me if I blame the other person, or will it be resolved by me taking personal responsibility for what happened? What choices did I make to get into that situation? What could I have done to avoid it? Or, would it even have been a good idea to avoid it in the first place, or did I experience it in order to learn something new? The latter is of course always true, but we can ask ourselves all these questions in order to get better at handling things within ourselves and in our environment. Most of us have been there; we feel like the whole world is against us and is caving in on us, and we feel depressed and helpless. Everything seems to be wrong in our lives or at least, that s how we perceive it in these moments. Some of us keep blaming the environment for our condition, while others, who have a more spiritual view on things, ask themselves, what did I do to get myself into this situation? The latter is personal responsibility, the former is not. Wes Penre Productions YouTube Project 1

2 When I look at the condition of humankind, I see a population that fails to take personal responsibility (with some exceptions). It s always someone else s fault. It has come to a point where it s shameful to be wrong, so therefore, we must justify our poor decisions by blaming someone else for them That makes us right and the other person wrong, and we re ashamed for being wrong. It s the basis of narcissism, but most humans have these traits within them, without being narcissists. Still, when on rare occasion, someone admits they made a bad decision, people in general admire them for being brave enough to admit it because we don t have that courage ourselves. I would go as far as to say that responsibility is the single action to take, in order to turn any bad situation around. Bluntly, this means that every time we re feeling down, or we think a situation; or even the world as a whole; feels unjust, it boils down to lack in personal responsibility. Even a person, who is high on the scale of being a full-blown narcissist, can turn their life around by doing one thing taking personal responsibility. It is the only thing that will heal a highly narcissistic person. If personal responsibility is not included in any and all kind of therapy, or in self-improvement and increased spiritual awareness in general, people will fail. This certainly applies to the spiritual field, as well. If a person is reading and listening to information from different researchers, take to heart what they perceive as being true for them, and build their knowledge and awareness base upon this, without applying what they ve learned their own lives, not much progress will be achieved. We are again back to personal responsibility we need to take responsibility for what we learn. It all starts on an individual everyday basis; we need to take responsibility for the small things first, which could be simple things like cleaning up after us, put things back where they belong, and keep our living environment as tidy as possible. If we notice that our environment is getting cluttered and chaotic, it s always because our minds are cluttered and chaotic. We can start at any end; we can figure out why our minds are chaotic and take responsibility for that, or we can start by cleaning up around us and then the mind will follow, where upon insights of our condition will surface we will start feeling better and better. Wes Penre Productions YouTube Project 2

3 From there, we can begin to take responsibility for more complicated issues and build on this. The bottom line is that we only have two basic choices; we take responsibility, or we do not. If we do, life will become a whole lot easier to live, and we will become a happier person even in this matrix. If we don t take responsibility, and let others take responsibility for us, a situation may resolve temporarily, and things will go back to normal. However, the Universe (or basically, our Higher Self) will continue throwing the same problems at us until we do take personal responsibility, only that next time it will happen, the negative impact will be even harder, until, if we don t change our behavior, we get to a point we call rock bottom. When this happens, we are at the ultimate crossroads; we either succumb to our situation, and in the long run, we re out of the game, as Dr. Tom Campbell puts it, meaning we dissolve and lose our personality and return to the Universe, as explained in previous videos, or we decide that now we need to change and start taking responsibility to build ourselves up again. If this isn t proof that the Universe wants to evolve, I don t know what is. The Universe forces us to evolve by having us create and take responsibility for our creation. If we don t, we re eventually out of the game. Responsibility is closely related to control. Control can be negative or positive. We can call it creative control and narcissistic control, if we like. Creative control is when we take responsibility for our own actions and reactions, whilst narcissistic control means that we manipulate others to take responsibility for us, so we don t need to. When we become self-responsible beings, we automatically also take responsibility or others and our environment. We now are much more in control of our own inner universe, which is essential, and our inner universe also includes others. Again, this doesn t mean we should take on other people s responsibilities as our own, but we can assist people in our environment by explaining what is in this video, and/or in a personal manner point out to them what is their responsibility or not. Then, it s up to each individual to make a choice whether to ponder it or completely discard it it s their choice. However, we have taken responsibility by pointing this out. Wes Penre Productions YouTube Project 3

4 If everybody suddenly started taking responsibility for themselves instead of blaming others for their situation, it would be an instant game-changer, and the Overlords would have lost in that exact moment they would lose 100% of their control. That s how powerful this is. But it always starts with the individual. All the above also applies to the situation we are in, related to En.ki and the Overlords, the Queen, and being saved by others. How can someone save someone else, who doesn t want to be saved? I m talking about this human soul group in whole. People would indeed object and say that whomever comes to save us are inflicting on our freewill most people want to stay here in the status quo no matter how bad things are. That is a choice, and they have the right to make that choice. No one has the right to take that choice away from them. It s like having a child, who is gifted in music and wants to become a musician, but the parents tell him or her that he or she should become a doctor instead and earn a lot of money, and that it is in the child s best interest to do so. This is done all the time parents are constantly leading their children off-track, preventing them from taking the necessary steps in their own personal development and evolution. A reasonable person can see how this is done all the time in society, but doesn t the same thing apply when it comes to saving humanity from this matrix? We are capable to force a helpless child, who is dependent upon the parents, but can we force adults, who are perceive themselves dependent upon the System, without getting a negative, and even possibly a violent reaction? In addition, the Queen can t just terminate the Experiment without both the Council s agreement and that of concerned star races. It s not a hierarchy everybody who can, will have a say in the matter. Look at the human condition. Is humanity acting responsibly? Why do we need law enforcement to keep people in check? When America was young and people expanded the frontiers, they built towns in new territory, in a joint effort to expand the horizons. There was no law enforcement to speak of in these towns, and what happened? People started killing each other as soon as they got into an argument action-reaction. Seen from the perspective of the star races in the KHAA, would you want eight billion souls mingle with you, when most of these souls are acting from a reactive state, where they are prone to hurting others, verbally or physically, as soon as they are being argued with? Wes Penre Productions YouTube Project 4

5 It s like letting loose a pack of lions in one of our cities because we feel sorry for them because they are kept in captivity. These lions would not only kill other animals, but also humans. No, we wouldn t want that. If we, as individuals, act in a way that is harmful or non-beneficial to others, wouldn t we need to ask ourselves, why am I acting this way? Not until we take personal responsibility for our thoughts and actions/reactions can we truly be part of the Greater Community in the KHAA. It would be highly irresponsible for the Queen, or any other savior, to just terminate the Experiment today and let all these eight billion souls free in the KHAA. We might tell ourselves that it s not fair because the majority does not know anything about this, but you, who listen to this, do know. Why you, and not the rest of the population? Because you took responsibility and started figuring things out. The rest of the population has the same opportunity, but they don t take it they don t want to change at this point. They lack the necessary personal responsibility they like when other people, including governments and law enforcement, take responsibility for them. If you and I can t convince them, how could the Queen, who, in a situation of liberating us, be able to particularly when she would be looked upon as an invader force? When human souls notice that the Earth they live on is terminated, and so are their physical bodies, how will they react? Why did you kill us? Why did you destroy our home our Earth? We want our Earth back! would probably be the group mob response. That would be an easy target for the Overlords, who would agree with this majority of humans, and a war would break out, in which human souls would be annihilated in the process. So, there is only one common soulution to the problem how to set the human soul group free each individual must take personal responsibility. = = = Please consider becoming a Patreon, if, among many other things, you want to participate in our Discord chats, where we discuss different topics.
