I don't like the way defining myself as Christian seperates myself from non Christians. It emphasises the idea of 'The Other', of seperation.
I adhere to the golden rule not because of some doctrine or because I think it will save me. I adhere to it because I believe that we are literally all One, all connected & all part of the same energy. What I do to you, I literally do to myself. What you put out, you get back.
I recognise your autonomy, free will & sovereignty. I do not judge your choice of beliefs. I do find it a little frustrating that you'd surrender your sovereignty at the soul level but understand that it's part of your journey.
I surrender to the divine only through my soul. I trust my higher self completely to guide my action & shape my experiences. I got there primarily through the mantra of 'don't trust, verify' & the idea of accepting absolute responsibility.
