Are We Separate?

Are We Separate?
Versions of the Golden Rule in World Religions:

neighbor that which thou chooseth for thyself." Epistle to the Son of the
Wolf.

would cause pain if done to you." Mahabharata 5:1517

them likewise." Luke 6:31

thus to do." The Tale of the Eloquent Peasant 109-110

loss as your loss." T'ai Shang Kan Ying Pi'en

Please forward this on if you feel compelled to spread this Truth. I really don't feel we are separate; I just wish the people in power felt and acted this way.

Love to you all,
