GOLDEN RULES OF DIFFERENT SPIRITUAL/ETHICAL SYSTEMS HINDU: This is the sum of duty; do naught unto others which if done to thee would cause thee pain.
ZOROASTRIAN: That nature alone is good which refrains from doing unto another whatsoever is not
good for itself.
TAOIST: Regard your neighbour's gain as your own gain, and your neighbour's loss as your own loss.
BUDDHIST: Hurt not others in ways that you
would find hurtful.
CONFUCIAN: Do not unto others what you would not have them do unto you.
JAIN: In happiness and suffering, in joy and grief, we should regard all creatures as we regard our own self.
JEWISH: Whatever thou hatest thyself, that do not to another.
CHRISTIAN: All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.
ISLAMIC: No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires
for himself.
SIKH: As thou deemest thyself, so deem others.
WICCAN: Do what thou wilt, but harm no other.
LIBERTARIAN: You are free to do as you like as long as you do not initiate force or fraud on others.The world would sure enough be a much better place if people regardless of their religious background decided to just follow this one of their own rules.

Thanks for the post frankiespeaking. I've been exploring the concept of consciousness, reality, living in the present etc. I found the web page extremely interesting. My faith in religion, the bible, the god concept is at an all time low. I don't believe that mankind can elevate our thinking and actions through faith in the unknown/unknowable origin and creator of the universe. All we have is right here, right now, we must take responsibility for ourselves instead of waiting for an unknown spirit entity to rescue us. I see absolutely no evidence to support that position, never have, and probably never will. But if I do, I know that I am a humble enough person to acknowledge my error and accept the consequences. But it appears to me that there is a conscious awakening taking place around the world today. I believe we are in for some major changes, but not the type that the apocalyptic are anxiously awaiting.
I agree with the title of the thread CONSCIOUSNESS RULES!!!
