Can a person be blamed for his condition?

In the business of explaining how choices create results, we are sometimes left with the question of whether there is blame or not. We can often see that choices produce consequence. Our mindset leads us to believe that there is actually cause and effect. We process the pattern that creates the consequence to be cause and effect. This, however, is not so. The main difference between choice/consequence and cause/effect is that the chain effect of cause/effect is predictable, whereas the chain effect of cause/consequence is not. That is to say the place from which choice is made is blinded as to effect.  The speculation of effect is not in the same category as the prediction of effect. A person who has not appreciated an iceberg has no idea of the consequence of sailing closely to the iceberg. This is the nature of choice and blinding. A choice is then approached from the best information available. The individual assesses the situation and evaluates the information at hand and then based on this makes a prediction on the effect of choice. This produces a result which is then known as an experience. The choice is always made from a perception of what the choice will bring. This perceptive expectation is based on the best information and determines the choice the individual makes. The choice making mechanism is always perfect and excellent based on the information put in. In this way there is similarity to a computer. We can recall the concept garbage in garbage out.

 

Thus the results of the choices of one’s life are determined from a place of blinding, not from a place of predictable cause and effect. Negligence can occur only where there is predictability. Quantum choices made individually are indeed unpredictable. Quantum choices made collectively can be tracked and are indeed predictable, statistically, in a collective sense. This predictability is about how collective consciousness makes choices.

 

Now then, from this assessment, let us evaluate the cancer patient. From our place in quantum mechanics the result of the cancer is the consequence of the sum of the individual’s choices up to that moment. Whether we perceive that it is associated with environmental toxins or individual behaviors, this was an association that we created by choice. When we see it as an association here, we also realize that someone else’s association with the same choices may well produce a different consequence and net results. This further confirms the unpredictability. In the absence of predictability there cannot be negligence, and so there cannot be blame.

 

However, since we made our choices, we are responsible for them and their consequences. Responsibility here is different from blame. In a participatory reality, all participating have responsibility for results, because the results are collective.

 

This is a radically different concept. The idea may be summed up as follows:

 

If you come to visit a town to which you have never been before and you are intending to get to point A you will have to make some choices. These choices are based on the perception that this is the best way to get to point A. Your decision making process is always impeccable. Let us say that you get to point B. This is not where you intended to go. This, however, is a consequence of your choice. You are, therefore, responsible for this choice. Note being responsible for your choice does not mean your choice-making mechanism was faulty. It does, however, mean that the perceptive information that you used to make the choice was inaccurate. Being responsible means that, the perceptive information has to be adjusted, so that a new choice can bring the possibility of point A closer. For, even here, the place from which the new choice is made is also blinded.
