Oneness is the Greatest Principle Oneness, oneness, oneness, chanted Edgar Cayce, who advised that this principle be our first lesson and that we study it until we got it right. A new anthology by that name, Oneness: Great Principles Shared by All Religions (Fawcett Columbine) reflects Cayce's visionary emphasis upon the unity of religions. This tiny (2" x 2") books contains ideas of infinite size and timeless appeal, showing the commonalities among the religions of the world that transcend any of the "isms" which were such an anathema to Cayce. Of interest are the specific principles that have universal appeal: The very first is the Golden Rule. In Buddhism it reads, "Hurt not others with that which pains yourself." The last is the commandment that we live in unity. In Islam it reads, "All creatures are of the family of God." |
