The Universal Law Behind the Golden Rule

In Chapter 7 of the book of Matthew- Jesus is quoted as saying:
"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you- do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets."
When Jesus made this statement- he wasn/' t just teaching his followers a religious rule...
He was teaching his followers the *practical* application of a Universal law.
This Universal law is known by many names:
The law of cause and effect...
The law of karma...
And...
The law of sowing and reaping...
Are just a few of them.
In his writings- Wallace D. Wattles- best known for his classic masterpiece "The Science of Getting Rich"- frequently refers to it as the law of action and reaction...
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Odds are you/' ve heard this Universal law expressed in many different ways:
Energy always returns to the source of its origination...
What goes around comes around...
What you do comes back to you...
You reap what you sow...
And...
My personal favorite:
It always comes back to bite you in the...
Well...
You know the rest. :-)
Regardless of how this Universal law is expressed...

Whatever you put out into the Universe comes back to you.
And...
More importantly...
Because it/' s a law...
Whatever you put out into the Universe *always* comes back to you.
This is the way the Universe works.
When you look at it this way- it puts Jesus/' words in a whole new light- doesn/' t it?
Practicing the Golden Rule- as it/' s come to be known as- isn/' t just the moral thing to do- or the right thing to do...
It/' s the *smart* thing to do!
Why?
Simple...
Because it/' s the law...
If you cheat others- you *will* be cheated.
If you hate others- you *will* be hated.
If you hurt others- you *will* be hurt.
If you judge others- you *will* be judged.
If you steal from others- you *will* be stolen from.
If you take advantage of others- you *will* be taken advantage of.
If you treat others rudely- you *will* be treated rudely.
On the other hand...
If you forgive others- you *will* be forgiven.
If you help others- you *will* be helped.
If you love others- you *will* be loved.

If you treat others fairly- you *will* be treated fairly.
If you treat others honestly- you *will* be treated honestly.
If you treat others kindly- you *will* be treated kindly.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction...
Whatever you put out into the Universe always comes back to you...
You can/' t escape it...
It/' s the law!
Now...
One thing that/' s *very* important to understand...
When Jesus said:
"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you- do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets."
He was *not* saying this because others- themselves- will "do unto you" what you have done unto them.
Jesus was saying this because the Universe- God or whatever you prefer to call the "Universal Power" behind all things- will "do unto you" what you have done unto others!
For example...
If you steal something from someone- it doesn/' t necessarily mean that particular person will steal something from you.
However...
You *will* be stolen from.
It/' s not a matter of "if"...
It/' s just a matter of when and how!
On the other hand...
If you treat someone honestly- it doesn/' t necessarily mean that particular person will treat you honestly.
However...
You *will* be treated honestly.

Ask yourself this very simple question:
Would I want someone else doing this to me?
