Golden Rule That All Religions Follow
Jesus: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you; Aristotle: We should conduct ourselves toward others as we would have them act toward us; Baha’i Epistle to Son of the Wolf: And if thine eyes be turned towards justice, choose thou for thy neighbour that which thou choosest for thyself; Aristippus of Cyrene: Cherish reciprocal benevolence, which will make you an anxious for another’s welfare as your own; Buddhism The Buddha: Treat not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful; Aboriginal Chief Dan George: We are as much alive as we keep the Earth alive; Christianity: All things whatsoever ye would then men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets; Confucianism Analects ‘Shu’: Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire; Confucius: Do not unto another that you would not have him do unto you. Thou needest this law alone. It is the foundation of all the rest; Hinduism The Mahabharata: This is the sum of duty: do naught to others which if done to thee would cause thee pain; Islam Hadith: No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself; Jainism: In happiness and suffering, in joy and grief, we should regard all creatures as we regard our own self; Judaism The Talmud: What is hateful to you, do not to your fellow men. That is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary; Judaism: Whatever thou hatest thyself, that do not to another. Sacred Wicca Seven Powers Of Light Here is a suggestion—that there are seven basic qualities of life experience, which can be described by 7 words. These 7 archetypal words are fundamental. They are foundation stones for all and everything so that any behaviour and any communication can be seen as an expression of them. They are the 7 basic life lessons that we all have to practice repeatedly in order to perfect our humanity. They are laws that govern scientist and mystic alike. If we get them wrong then we lose balance and suffer the consequences of imbalance. Our task is to get them right so that we can clean up our thinking as a prerequisite for cleaning up our world. Sacred Wicca Seven Powers Of Light The task is complex and challenging and will require all of us to learn from each other. This means that Americans and British have to listen to Iraqis, and that Christians have to listen to Jews and Moslems. It means that parents have to listen to their kids and men have to listen to women. This listening needs to be subtle and profound. Sacred Wicca Seven Powers Of Light It is not enough to hear the form of the word, we need to feel its essence, to go to the depth of meaning contained within the word too. By reducing what we consider essential among the available options of meaning, we are able to improve our chances of understanding what is really being said and meant. If there are only a given number of possibilities, basically 7, we can consider them all. Sacred Wicca Seven Powers Of Light Perception is interactive with thought, and therefore interactive with the language of thought. So the way we shape our perceptions—the way we grasp reality—and the words we speak are interdependent. They affect each other. Sacred Wicca Seven Powers Of Light In this way we can know ourselves individually to be the agencies through which Creation is created. We are not saying that we are the creators of external reality—the birds and the bees, the flowers and the trees are all already there—and yet their existence is only real for us because we perceive them. All observed things and behaviours take on meaning as a result of our manner of thought—itself dependent upon our manner of wording. So the engineering of the creation process is both limited and expanded by the words we use and our consciousness of them.
