Dear God,

What message would you have me share with humanity today?

 

My Dear Beloved Divine Children:

There is a timeless Golden Rule that says: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” (Leviticus 19:18, Matthew 7:12).  I have also expressed this in other religious text also. 

For example, Plato’s Socrates stated, “One should never do wrong in return, nor mistreat any man, nor matter, how one has been mistreated by him. (c. 469 BC – 399 BCE).  Further back the Ancient Egyptian concept appearing in the story of The Eloquent Peasant (c. 2040 – 1650 BCE) says, “Now is the command: Do to the doer to cause that he does.”

The Baha’i Faith says, “Ascribe not to any soul that which wouldst not have ascribed to thee and say not though does not.”  Also, “Blessed is he who preferred his brother before himself.”  Buddhists say, “Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.”

In Christianity, Luke 6:31 states “Do to others as you want them to do to you.”  While Muhammad, in the Farewell Sermon according to Islam said, “Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you.”  The Quran also commends, “None of you [truly] believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.

In Judaism (and Christianity’s Old Testament), Leviticus 19:18 reads, “You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against your kinfolk.  Love your neighbor as yourself.  I am the LORD.”  Also, in Leviticus 19:34, “The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of y our citizens, you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt:  I am the LORD am your GOD.”

In the Taoism, it states: “Regard you neighbor’s gain as your own, and your neighbor’s loss as your own loss.

In Hinduism, you will read “One should never do that to another which one regards as injurious to one’s own self.  This, in brief, is the rule of dharma.  Other behavior is due to selfish desires.”  Humanism generally states the same principle: “do not treat people in a way you would not wish to be treated yourself.”

The Golden Rule can best be summed up in one powerful word – LOVE. Jesus passed a commandment to his disciples – one that has often been ignored throughout centuries by man.  It is best said in John 13:34, “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.  Just as I have loved you, you should also love one another.”  Ignored countless times in history, especially by Christians and Christians in government and leadership positions by examples of killing through wars, weapons of mass destruction, assassination plots, covert operations, oppression of people, enslavement of people, starvation, hunger, and homelessness.  Yet, our leaders appear so “holy” as if they have not sinned by going to worship services seeking forgiveness of their trespasses repeatedly.  Do you think I have not taken notice of these transgressions?  Of course, to Christianity, Jesus had died for our sins -- however, don’t you and I think this is pushing the limits just a little too far?

Let this Golden Rule carry on as a guiding light into the new world as you gradually begin to shed your hatred and anger towards each other within your own country, but also among nations as well.  Practice and share your peace and forgiveness among countries and your neighbors, and they will manifest the same in your lives.  However, the exact opposite will also occur.  Practice that of violence and war against your neighbors and citizens of other countries, and the exact same will be manifested unto you with all the pain, misery and suffering associated with war and violence.

Therefore, watch who you appoint or elect to your governmental offices of responsibility and accountability less they lead your nation astray into war mongering efforts once they get into office.  Do not express negative, false, or misleading statements against these leaders if they are known to be untrue unless the same is brought about you.  For your behaviors, either positive or negative, will also find a way of manifesting itself through the universe.  Use caution for the universe is always listening.

Therefore, follow Jesus’ commandment: “…that you love one another.  Just as I have loved you, you should also love one another.”

 

I LOVE YOU ALL AND SEND BLESSINGS TO ALL OF YOU.

I AM, Yours Truly and always available.
