THE GOLDEN RULE - 21st CENTURY VERSION

RULE 1: You remember the Golden Rule – we all learned it in grade school – “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” That’s still a pretty good formula for life. If you never treat anyone with cruelty, disrespect or disregard and everyone else does the same thing, the world would certainly be a better place.

RULE 1B: Don’t assume everyone wants the same as you. “Treat Others As They Would Prefer to Be Treated.” Now we have to be careful to specify the nature of the behavior. For instance, if you are a talkative, outgoing, warm, touchy, affectionate type and you like a lot of verbal and physical interaction, you may expect that from others. But you may not get that reciprocated and others may not appreciate that from you. Some prefer less verbal communication and may feel their boundaries are being violated if someone talks too much, asks too many questions, touches them or gets too close physically. Timing and moods are also factors in terms of individual needs.

RULE II: “He/She who has the money (GOLD), makes the rules.” Unfortunately, this Golden Rule is resulting from a part of our society obsessed with power, greed and ego. Our economic base, as great as it is with the free enterprise philosophy, has bred many generations of financial-success oriented-machines, many with little or no conscience. The bottom line for these people is money, power and ego gratification.

The primary way to more power and ego gratification is money, using others in whatever way possible and whatever way necessary. In business, in families, friendships – and yes, in mate relationships – He/she who has the money/gold makes the rules. The ones without the gold have to get permission, approval or support from the controller of the finances/resources for purchases and decisions involving money.

In close relationships, especially mate relationships, the emotional element adds to the pressure when it comes to money. The one who has the money controls with it and/or the other one manipulates or conforms to get what he/she wants. In many sad cases, the money is the main, if not the only reason – the lacking one is there.

Unfortunately, the true compatibility and bonding for these couples never develops to the rich, fulfilling experience it could be – an integrated spiritual, mental, emotional and physical alignment. They never quite get past the material end of things; i.e. the GOLD RULES.

RULE III: Do unto yourself for the highest good of all. By each keeping oneself on the higher path, staying true to our divine nature and being a beacon of light for goodness with each other, we can create a giant undeniable ray of light and hope.

RULE IV: “Share the Gold.” The universal law of attraction magically delivers that for which we are grateful and ready. Whatever “gold” we have is multiplied when shared with a generous heart and especially when done so for the greatest good of all. That is the true GOLD.

RULE V: “Find the Gold” – See the good in everything/everyone. Judge not – lest ye be judged. Open up to looking at the world with a more “golden light” view.

Think about it. What goes around comes around. What you “see”, say, do, feel and think – is what you get. Why would anyone project out into the collective “pot” of all that is – anything negative or damaging to anyone. After all, we are ALL ONE and what we do to others, we do to ourselves. Whether it’s a close/intimate relationship, a total stranger on the street, a business situation or another human living clear across the planet in some totally different culture – what makes you think their needs, desires and rights are any less important than your own?

Recently, I was contacted by a woman who has severe scars from an accident. She’s tried everything to get them healed and wondered if the intradimensional healing work I do might be effective. I very much wanted to help if I could and wasn’t sure exactly in what manner. I contacted my guides and was told that yes, the healing techniques would work; however this woman had drawn this to herself over a lifetime of judging and demeaning others with deformaties, anyone not perfect in her opinion. In this particular case, the healing will come when she heals that “intolerant, unaccepting” part of herself that has separated her from the true beauty and perfection in others.

In another case, a man who had been very harshly judgemental of any handicapped or disabled persons (including one of his stepdaughters) AND very domineering, impatient and violent with his family – was in a serious accident. NOW, he relies on his caretakers for every bite of food, all daily essentials and even needs their help to use the bathroom.

Even how we are ABOUT GOLD (money and other resources) - how we value, judge and operate around the whole issue of material possessions, our own sense of security, in relationship to others - affects our own results, comes back to us in kind. Whatever we don’t understand, tolerate or allow – becomes another life lesson for us – somewhere down the line.
