“You respond to what you perceive, and as you perceive so shall you behave.
²The Golden Rule asks you to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. ³This means that the perception of both must be accurate.
⁴The Golden Rule is the rule for appropriate behavior. ⁵You cannot behave appropriately unless you perceive correctly.
⁶Since you and your neighbor are equal members of one family, as you perceive both so you will do to both. ⁷You should look out from the perception of your own holiness to the holiness of others.”
A Course In Miracles, Helen Schucman, (ACIM, T-1.III.6:1-7)
