Welcome to the Tek-Gnostics Abbey. The essence of the Tek-Gnostic tradition is expressed eloquently in the universal teaching known as "The Golden Rule." The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a global ethical code of conduct. It has a long history, and a great number of prominent religious figures and philosophers have restated various forms of the Rule in numerous ways.
The Golden Rule is arguably the most essential basis for the modern concept of human rights, in which each individual has a right to just treatment and a responsibility to ensure justice for others. A key element of the Golden Rule is that a person attempting to live by this rule treats all people, not just members of his or her in-group or tribe, with consideration. The Golden Rule has its roots in a wide range of world cultures and is a standard which different cultures use to resolve conflicts. It is in this sense a truly global (if not universal) system of ethical behavior and as such serves as a cornerstone of human unity. Simply put and from the perspective of Tek-Gnostics, the golden rule is as follows...
"Co-operate (interact) with others as you would have others co-operate with you"
This simple concept, considered quaint and outdated by some, contains a powerful wisdom. It cuts through the myriad ideologies that tend to separate humans and points toward a universal inter-personal code of conduct. Treat your fellow man as you would have your
fellow man treat you...
