Golden Rule: Difference between revisions

Many more human beings have been inducted into the Ascension process and are now enduring the intense levels of personal dismantling. All we had a lifestyle built around is being challenged to the very core of our existence and this can feel hurtful. We are forced to adapt to the moment to moment changing terrain impacting our life. Everything is in the now moment. When our core existence is challenged during such immense levels of transformation, we may feel the magnification of the smallest issue be amplified so that it feels like a life or death matter. This may feel scary, we can feel threatened by being forced to change. This is why knowing these changes are critical for our evolution and trying to surrender to them without fighting it, lashing out or becoming angry will make the process easier. Greater acceptance is required now, learning how to surrender is a daily practice.  Problems we used to obsess about or believe they were a “big deal”, are losing their importance in our lives. There is something so much larger happening here.  There is nothing to hold onto any longer. We must become less attached to things and be willing to “let go” of spiritually bankrupt values in order to survive the transformation required to become more balanced with our own sense being a true human being. So what does it mean for us to be in alignment to the God Source and Law of One, which is the same as asking; what does it mean to be a true humanitarian?  

Beginning to explore what this means is that each of us have a requirement to place an internal and external dialogue to explore the profound change that this places on our own personal values and personal lifestyle. What we value, what we place importance upon is undergoing fundamental changes because it has to change. That fundamental change is requiring us to be Reeducated to Value All Human life, and to promote All living things for a true humanity to be restored to this planet.  

What is needed here of which we could all learn and improve upon together - is a reawakening and a re-commitment to the basic values of human existence - the standards of ethical behavior that define and "make or break" the character of a human being. This concept is intrinsic to the Law of One Practices and their Principles, of which this website materials are based, however we could expand on the detail of what these guidelines are and how to practice them in daily life.  

The Golden Rule is the most essential basis for the modern concept of human rights, in which each individual has a right to just treatment, and a reciprocal responsibility to ensure justice for others.  

The Golden Rule is an ethical code, or moral truth that essentially states :  

One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.  

It is commonly referred to as "Do unto others".  

This concept describes a or "two-way", relationship between one's self and others that involves both sides equally, and in a mutual benefit or win-win fashion.  

The Golden Rule is a principle of ONENESS or UNITY and can be explained from the perspective of psychology, philosophy, sociology, and religion and spirituality. This is why it is such a powerful statement and principle to live one’s life. It is a Universal Language. With psychology, it can be explained as involving a person that empathizes with others. Philosophically, it involves a person perceiving their neighbor as also a part of the self or the I. Sociologically, this principle is applied between individuals, between groups, and also between individuals and groups. (For example, a person living by this rule treats all people with this consideration, not just members of his or her in-group, as this practice defies bias made through race, religion, countries or genetics. All Religions originally on this planet are stemming from some portion of Universal Truth as a part of their teaching of values to society. The Golden Rule is an integral part of the history of this concept of ethical values and ethical conduct to develop principles of one’s personal character as well to engender a connection to the overall, such as develop a connection to family, a connection to community, a connection to the planet. Thus it further develops our innate desire to be a part of the whole and answer to our social responsibilities.   

As a concept of entering into creating "mutually beneficial relationships," it has its roots in a wide range of world cultures, and is a standard way that different cultures use to resolve conflicts. This is why it crosses all language barriers, and pyscho-social barriers. All versions and forms of the proverbial Golden Rule have one aspect in common: they all demand that people treat others in a manner in which they themselves would like to be treated. For a moment lets look at:
