Self-Responsibility: Difference between revisions

Many people confuse responsibility and accountability as being one in same. In the practical reality, they are character traits that are more like two sides of the same coin. Being accountable has more to do with giving up certain [[Ego Defense Mechanism]] behaviors, such as negative beliefs and attitudes, than just making an effort to behave or relate to others in a different way. One of the most common ego defense mechanisms used to avoid personal accountability or responsibility is to become upset, blaming others or to have a tantrum. When a person goes into tantrum mode or gets upset, obviously, they can no longer effectively handle the matter. They have gone “unconscious”. When a person goes unconscious and engages in tantrums, they are now fodder for dark and negative energies in the vicinity. This is a common ego defense to avoid facing the truth of the matter or the task at hand and to avoid any attention being placed upon the person’s accountability to their actions. It’s a diversion tactic made by the unconscious or [[Three Layers of Ego|conscious personality]]. This is done by simply tuning someone out, or by having a mental conversation while someone is attempting to point out how you could have assumed greater responsibility or accountability.<ref>[http://www.energeticsynthesis.com/index.php/resource-tools/ascension-tools/assessing-trustworthiness/2435-accountability-2 Accountability]]</ref>
