Commitment -

On January 7th, 2005 Equinox was asked,

Could you talk about commitment?

EQ: We believe that commitment has to do with honour. We believe that commitment has to do with honouring thy word and that giving thy word cavalierly is something that Terrans do quite frequently. When they go to get a driver’s license at 16, they are making a commitment to drive safely. Is that so? How many actually do it?

Not very many.

EQ: We believe none. We believe that Terrans have become very good at not understanding that word at all and making it very simple to say, “Yes, I will do this.” Because what they are really saying is, “As long as this is comfortable and fun and I am getting pleasure, I will keep it.” But, keeping in mind that all things are an illusion, then can thee not take that which thee are not having fun with and create fun out of it to make the commitment easier, or better yet, would it be better not to make commitments so cavalierly? Because what happens when a commitment is broken is what we heard a moment ago.

Pain.

EQ: Exactly. And guilt which creates karma. There are certain commitments that were made by thy soul that the ego may fight against because it is exactly the lesson that the ego needs.

So when you make a commitment, how do you know when the commitment is done?

EQ: When the karma is done. When thee are…it would be up to each person to decide, keeping in mind that the responsibility comes with that as well, that if thee have broken a commitment that thy soul made, thee will suffer consequences, because the soul is unforgiving. Dost thou understand? But if thee have broken a commitment that thee have made cavalierly, then thee will probably experience pain and guilt. If thee break a commitment because thee truly know that thee are done with the experience and that if thee remain within the commitment, thee will do more damage than good, then it is time to end it. Dost thou understand?
