The Golden Rule

The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim, and an ethical code or morality that essentially states either of the following:

One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself (directive form).

One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated (cautionary form, also known as the Silver Rule).

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

This concept can be explained from the perspective of psychology, philosophy, sociology and ancient religion. 

Psychologically, it involves a person empathizing with others. Philosophically, it involves a person perceiving their neighbor as also an "I" or "self". 

Sociologically, this principle is applicable between individuals, between groups, and also between individuals and groups. (For example, a person living by this rule treats all people with consideration, not just members of his or her in-group.) 

Almost all Religions figure prominently in the history of this concept.   

Living in a constant state of 'Oneness'- one begins to merge with 'ALL' that is. 

At the beginning of the Consciousness of being 'One' the feeling of merging with ALL that is, comes and goes almost without any warning or preparation. 

It can happen anywhere, anytime. And as time goes by, these periods of feeling connected with ALL that IS; become more frequent. As if Life is happening 'through' you, not for you. Merging with 'ALL' that IS. 

People, places and events miraculously fall into place without effort. Confusing at times, yes. Because some things you are hanging onto, get taken away quickly, if they are not in your overall alignment. 

But generally speaking, learning that valuable lesson that "Patience is Power", Life generally connects with all Peace, Joy and Happiness abounds, as all illusions of f.e.a.r melt away from those that still tried to subscribe to it.
