The Feeling of Being Responsible for Being Alive

It comes from continuation.
From waking, from staying.
This responsibility is quiet and constant.
Naming it allows the burden to be acknowledged without framing it as obligation or failure.

Frequently Asked Questions
I feel "responsible" for staying alive. Is that a burden?
This is "The Responsibility of Being." It is the realization that You are the Pilot of your biological ship. Naming this prevents the "Victim-Loop." Yes, it is a burden, but it is a Primary Burden. It is the source of your Agency. Acknowledging that you are "responsible for being" gives you the "Command" you need to navigate through the "Gravity Phase."
How do I handle the "weight" of this responsibility?
You break it down into Small Shifts. You aren't responsible for "The Whole Life" at once; you are responsible for the Current Breath and the Next Action. By shrinking the "Scope of Responsibility" to the Contiguous Moment, the weight becomes manageable and even empowering. You are the Sovereign of this moment.
