OPENING THETAN Here is what Adore says about total responsibility. RESPONSIBILITY means you either created it or approved of it. If you cease creating it, or approving of it, it will cease to exist. Adore is a baby phase religion, its concept of 'the beginning of things' may not be the actual beginning. This is its concept of the beginning as far back as it can imagine. When a thetan first wakes up from static, the Big Snooze, it is alone. If it wishes to not be alone it can either shatter and play with itself for a while, or it can put out a resonant call to other thetans who are also awake putting out a similar resonant call. Once it joins with those other thetans, it can create games from there, or it can join and pretend to be one and shatter and go on from there. In this latter case, every shatter fragment has a piece of all beings in it. When the waking thetan first puts out his resonant call to other waking thetans, if there are no other thetans putting out a resonant call at that time, the first thetan can either continue on alone for a while and try again later, or it can go back to sleep, OR it can go back to sleep with a sign on its door saying that any resonant call that comes in from another thetan should wake it immediately. A resonant call issued by one thetan to gather other thetans of like mind into a group is not sufficient to wake a sleeping thetan UNLESS they have left a 'door sign' that they should be so woken by a resonant call. When waking thetans put out resonant calls to each other they join together into a co conscious group of UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Each thetan approves of and agrees that all other thetans should be there, and each thetan is ABLE to be there in the group only because all thetans are willing (causing) him to be there. Each chooses to choose, each chooses that others should choose, and each chooses that all should choose more. Thus total responsibility for condition is maintained across all thetans. A thetan in his opening state, either alone or after grouping with others of like mind is in a state of operating approval. Approval is the relationship he holds with the world, himself and all others, and it is his basic flow. If at any time thetan B creates something as part of the group that thetan A does not approve of, thetan A will withdraw his approval of the creation and it will vanish immediately through discreation, for ALL beings in the group including thetan B. This happens because the group is fundamentally a group of unanimous consent. If any one being disagrees with a creation, that's the end of that creation. If any one being disagrees with the existence of another being in that group, that other being is immediately unlinked from the group. Thus total responsibility is maintained in that any creation was either created OR approved of by the thetan, or else it wouldn't exist for anyone in that group. Now it is possible for Thetan A to say "Hey wouldn't it be grand if I could create and approve of something that you didn't approve of and you couldn't get rid of it anyhow!" Perhaps thetan B and all other thetan's go "Hey that's a cool idea, we *APPROVE!*" Again total responsibility for condition is maintained because all thetans either created the idea or approved of it. Now just because a thetan approves of something, doesn't mean he is stuck with it. As long as he is in contact with his approval of the creation or his postulates about that creation, no matter what it is, he can always withdraw his approval, no matter how long time later, and that creation or postulate about the creation will vanish. The only way a thetan can become stuck with a creation is to lose contact with his approval of it, whether or not he created it. Remember even if he created it, he still had to approve of it in order to keep it around. This is knowing willing cause. This mechanism of losing contact with one's own approval for something was itself created and approved of by all thetan's in the group! So this mechanism too can be withdrawn at any time IF the thetan can recontact his approval of it. So the thetans in the group have now created and approved of a way to have persisting disapprovals, apparencies of no responsibility, conflict, and inability to as-is. This leads to not-is which leads to unexpected collisions of creation, surprises, errors, mistakes, and accidents, ALL of which were created and approved of by the thetans each step of the way as they descended into this game. Given this, any persisting unwanted condition the thetan finds himself in, will contain denials of approval and responsibility involved in it, in order to keep it going. Responsibility means full knowing willing cause with full awareness of the consequences because the consequences were themselves created as an adjunct to the original creation. The loss of knowing willing cause was itself created, considered and approved of by one and all as part of the mastery of tapestry (creation of the game). Thus across all beings and all things total responsibility is at all times maintained. Spotting the moments of total responsibility, creation and approval, is all that is necessary to vanish any creation. If one wants wants it to continue, one can simply go back to irresponsibility, disapproval and denial in order to keep it around.
