The Golden Rule

At the end of our church meeting tonight, we repeated the Sixth Tenet: “And we solemnly promise to watch, and pray for that Mind to be in us, which was also in Christ Jesus; to do unto others as we would have them do unto us; and to be merciful, just, and pure.”

So I let myself mean it: This is a solemn promise.
OK. I’ll watch. I’ll watch each moment.
I’ll pray (along with all the others here) for the Mind of Christ (what must that be like?)

What would I want to have others do unto me? - Oh. I would want them to be really glad to have me here. I would want them to feel touched, moved, lifted by my presence. So can I do that to others? Can I allow myself to be touched, moved, lifted by them? By each one in particular? As I contemplate it, it feels like heaven.
