The Golden Rule: The Essence of Interconnectedness

A strange thing happened at the US Republican South Carolina debate on January 16th, 2012…the Golden Rule was vehemently booed (click the link to watch the video). In a display of being as opposed as one can be to the central teaching in essentially every major ancient and modern belief system, a sizable amount of the audience at what one would expect to be a civil debate over issues that affect the real livelihoods of millions of people had reacted in a way that has the potential to lead to species self-annihilation.
It is always saddening to see people become so far removed from their alignment with Truth and Reality yet there is always hope that even such individuals that seem to lack the basic human feeling of empathy, as research has shown that even psychopaths can be helped to deviate from a behavior that is destructive to the interconnected whole that is the collective transpersonal consciousness.
The concept of Oneness and being One with everyone and everything is not a new concept at all. It is probably actually the underlying concept of all major belief systems that has survived to this day. This concept is something that has in recent times been dubbed The Golden Rule which expresses that we are to treat others as we would like them to treat us because we are all part of the same Whole and any one thing we do to someone else, we are doing to ourselves.
