Golden Words - 

To Thine Own Self, Be True

Plain And Simple-Clear As Black And White.

No Gray Areas...

I came upon this on my wall on facebook..I changed it a bit, Listed the options in alphabetical order and in the post on my wall, the last two lines read:

"Don't like your rights taken away?

Then don't take away someone else's" 
 I thought that line was pretty presumptuous that the reader was advocating limiting your rights...but for a referendum to become law, there are those that must vote to push it through.  It all starts with a thought, an idea.

We've all heard that "golden rule":  "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.":  So how does one behave to another?   Bottom line. . .unconditional love and compassion.  If you wouldn't like someone else doing it to you, you don't do it to them, because, count on it, they don't like it done to them either.

As populations grew and civilizations expanded, mankind found a need to set it in writing to feel more secure that respectful common sense be practiced  by all.  These written rules became laws.  As more and more strangers wandered into set communities and different cultures intermingled, someone decided those rules needed more particular definition...just so there was no mistaking of intentions.  These "by-laws" became amended to the original simple set of rules.  Which of course will, in time, need more clarification, resulting in more laws being written.

With each new addendum, freedoms and individual trust for a fellow man's right to make a "proper" choice became less and less.

Laws were never intended to strip uniqueness and freedoms...as they are doing now...likely, all stemming from someone's fear that someone else might not "respect" as much as they did.  (Oxymoron?)

Where do we draw the line and say "enough!!!"   And how do we justify that it is enough?

As soul awakens the human consciousness it is embodied with, physical body and soul (the ego and the id, yin and yang...) empower each other to near it's goal to return home, it is given the responsibility to set a law unto itself...it then, must always exist within this self-imposed code of conduct (law) and must never step outside of it.  It is a Law Unto Itself.

Should soul step outside it's own law, it's own boundary it set, it will not find an open door in coming Home.  If it can't love, respect, and trust in itself, could it know without a doubt that another can?  It must have absolute, unwavering faith to be allowed to enter that doorway.

To be true to one's self is effortless...it takes effort to be untrue.

INTERESTING TO NOTE:  The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.
