I've been thinking more about James Ray and this egoistic mess he's gotten himself into, and it's crystallized something for me that I've been pondering, but I haven't been able to put into words until now. That is, when you decide to seriously pursue the Law of Attraction as a way of life, you don't become LESS accountable for other people. A lot of what I have read about the Law of Attraction in the past has hinted at just that; in other words, it's all about you, while other people are secondary.
However, I think that believing in the Law of Attraction makes you become MORE accountable for other people -- but not in the way most of us think of being "accountable."
That is, we don't become accountable to people in that we try to please them. We don't try to believe what they believe or agree with them to simply "get along," or because we think they know better than we do. The Law of Attraction is about self-empowerment, so in that sense, we truly are on our own path. We don't become responsible or accountable for other adults in that we try to take charge of them, and we know that we have to let them go on their own paths just as we're going on ours.
However, once you believe in the Law of Attraction, it does make you absolutely aware that you are responsible for your own actions in every way, which means you're also accountable for how you treat other people. And if that's true, then that means we have to be really careful that we always treat other people with care, respect and courtesy. That's a very different tone, in some respects, than the "Just float your own cork!" message you get from more traditional LOA messengers like Abraham-Hicks.
