A child is raped, a man is shot dead, I watch my mother die, the sun shines, the rain falls, some dick cuts me off in traffic.
Consciousness (I) is
responsible for all of it, there is no 'only when it suits me clause' SR doesn't work like that, some other belief systems do, but SR doesn't
Two things to keep in mind. 1. It doesn't make sense to take responsibility for the horror of mankind from the limited mind/body POV, if you do that, the overwhelming feelings of guilt are frightening. How many times have you heard of a horrible story on the news? Now how much horror have you actually seen occur right in front of you physical avatar? There is a difference.
If I cut my hand, it hurts from a physical body POV, but it doesn't hurt from a consciousnes POV. Consciousness doesn't feel, sense emotion, that's the whole point of having a physical avatar/mind/body. A person is brutally killed, it's reported on the news, so I created it, I'm responsible for it, but not in the "I killed that man" POV, but from the "I created that to maintain perception" POV. This may sound uncaring, but consciousness doesn't care, it doesn't emote, that's the point of the physical avatar.
Let's say that right now somewhere in the world someone is being killed, you don't know that so does it matter? No, because it's not in your awareness, it's not made real, it doesn't exist. Now you hear about it on the news and see pictures, does it matter now? Yes, but only on a random background maintining perception level, it's there to maintain the perception. Now someone is killed right in front of you, does it matter? yes, the level of it's importance has risen, for some reason you have created it and made it very personalised, you are doing this for a very specific reason and you can choose to understand that reason or not.
2. How can I be creating everything in my awareness, there's so much of it?" Consciousness creates and maintains a very complex reality. You choose to go outside and walk down the street and to maintain a believable reality, you (not specifically knowingly, but it's still your creation) place random things there, things like people you never speak to, trees, cars, buildings you don't use or interact with. You will choose which random things to interact with and make interactive, but most will stay as random background filler, but it's still all of your creation.
Consciousness is responsible for everything created inside present moment awareness and by choice it places anything it chooses there including a physical avatar/body/mind/human/you to observe it. When you identify with consciousness you can see everything that you create has meaning because you've created it, somethings are vital, some are background filler, but ultimately nothing truly matters except the overall state of consciousness, which is reflected in what you create. Living a good, honest, decent life doesn't make you a better person it makes a better experience for consciousness to experience.
Your entire existance is for the benefit of consciousness, you are completely self centered, not selfish (there's a difference) self centered on creating a enjoyable experience for the experience of consciousness. You can see and sense consciousness when you stop identifying with your physical body, which is only there to sense the enjoyment of creation, but it doesn't create anything, consciousness is the creative source.
