Taking Personal Responsibility - Synarchy

Key Distinctions/Insights: Taking personal responsibility rather than looking to any other person, institution or organization to take care of us will be the most important step. It is only when we take full responsibility that we can stake a claim on our freedom! And taking personal responsibility first is a precursor to taking shared responsibility for the larger communities that we are a part of.


Great Reference Material: These following passages come from an excellent review of the upcoming grand celestial event in Summer 2010 as written in the Mountain Astrologer May-Aug 2009 edition: 


In essence, leaders have the simple choice of whether they're going to Go Prison Guard in fear or Go Liberator in love by 2010. The grand celestial event of this Chiron-Neptune conjunction in the coming years is truly unprecedented in history.


"All the dictators in the world," he said, "are created by us because we want someone else to tell us what to do. There is a very subtle reason for it: when you are told by somebody else what to do, you don't have any responsibility for whether it is right or wrong. You are free of responsibility; you don't have to think about it; you don't have to be worried about it. The whole responsibility goes to the person who is giving you the orders to do something. . . . [People are] always looking to the politicians, looking to the priest; looking to neurotic-type people who proclaim themselves prophets, the sons of God, messengers of God."


It could be, for all we know, that the whole point of the great Crosses of Summer 2010 is to open us to the startling and scary possibility that it is time to put dictators behind us, even to overcome our addiction to leaders and take up the Aquarian challenge to be responsible in ways we have not yet imagined. We may even learn that hierarchy, the unequal division of power between a few who are corrupted by having far too much and a great inert mass of those who have little or none, has been an ingredient in the recipe of our misery for far too long. It may be time now for synarchy, the active, creative and far more empowering art of sharing power among equals.
