Joel S. Goldsmith [Practicing The Presence]

God is individual being, which means that God is the only Self, and there is
no way for any hurt or evil to enter to defile the infinite purity of the Soul
of God, nor anything at which evil can strike or to which it can attach itself.
When the Master repeated the age-old wisdom: "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 giving us a principle. Unless we do unto others as we
would have others do unto us, we injure, not the others, but ourselves.
>
> In the days to come, when men recognize the great truth that God is the
Selfhood of every individual, the evil aimed at us from another will never touch
us, but will immediately rebound upon the one who sends it.
>
> The Christ-mind has in it no criticism, no judgment, no condemnation, but
beholds the Christ of God as the activity of individual being, as your Soul and
mine. Human eyes do not comprehend this because as human beings, we are good and
bad; but spiritually, we are the Sons of God, and through spiritual
consciousness we can discern the spiritual good in each other. There is no room
in spiritual living for persecution, hatred, judgment, or condemnation of any
person or group of people. It is not only inconsistent, but hypocritical to talk
about the Christ and our great love for God in one breath, and, in the next
breath, speak disparagingly of a neighbor who is of a different race, creed,
nationality, political affiliation, or economic status. One cannot be the child
of God as long as he persecutes or hates anyone or anything, but only as he
lives in a consciousness of no judgment or condemnation.

Yes, this is true. As you see your fellow human, you are looking upon God, and also yourself, because all are one, there is no "other". Dispel the illusion of the material world, and live in eternal peace, grace and power.
