SEEKING SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE? -- PART THREE

Today we live in a world which is based on technology. We live in a world in which technology has been developed regardless of human considerations. There has been little control over the scientific advances that have been made. The result is that advanced technology is here without the wisdom to use it.

Losing Divine Talents

A machine can replace a hundred men and women, but what of those hundred men and women?? What are they to do?? The essence of life is work: creative industry, the exercise of talents which Humanity has been given by its Creator. These talents must be exercised or they atrophy and will eventually wither and die. When these talents are lost there is an apparent loss of direction and purpose and people seek desperately to establish motivation for their lives. Many people today are losing their divine talents either because they do not or cannot practise them or because they have lost the will to work. They have grown up in a society where work is not an essential part of living.

Channels of Divine Energy

Now work is the means by which you manifest the spirit of your Creator. Work is the means by which you manifest the power of your own spirit. In everything that you do in your work either through thought, word or deed you are creating on this plane of Earth either for good or for evil. That choice is always present. You are but channels of divine energy. It is for you to use and direct that energy. That is the lesson of life.

However, because of the so-called Welfare State which exists in many countries of the Western World, a belief has grown up that if one is provided for by the State then there is no need to work. That is not so. The Welfare State as it exists today is corrupting people for it is removing the lesson of the incentive and the desirability of work, of work not for money´s sake but of work for work´s sake.

A Spiritual Potential

You should work as if your life depended upon it for, truly, it does. How you work now decides the nature of the life that you will experience in the future. The work that you do now is spiritual energy to be stored up and repaid in the years to come. It is, so to speak, spiritual potential that you have established. Until you have worked and established that potential then energy cannot flow to you from Above. You have to earn energy before it is given to you.

If you would seek to advance in one particular field then maybe you must work very hard in an entirely different field in order to be worthy of receiving that gift from Above. Inspiration does not fall like rain from the skies. It has to be earned. It has to be earned through right demonstration, through work. When that has been achieved then the inspiration flows down and you will see the direction that you should take and begin to understand the destiny that lies before you.

Necessary Changes

There is a great uncertainty amongst the young people of today because of the nature of the Age. Many of them are very old souls. Some of them have not incarnated on the Earth for thousands of years and they return now to an Age that is witnessing the break-up of a civilisation, an Age where moral and spiritual values are almost totally disregarded. Moreover, their understanding of the true nature of physical life is constantly being denigrated by those in authority if only because that authority is being challenged. Inevitably young people will be in conflict with authority, for their understanding of the true nature of life will differ from authority´s. But that is why the young people are here. They are here to transform the World. They are here to bring the Piscean into the Aquarian Age.

Young People Today

What the young people of today consider as the reality of life will be very different from the past. The way in which they wish to lead their lives, the way in which they behave morally, socially and politically will be very different from the past. Do not be afraid of such changes. Do not be afraid of such diversity. It is what the young people have come to ground and demonstrate. But this new understanding must be made manifest, demonstrated through work, through right practice, through mixing with both the older and the younger generations. Remember that the children of the young people of today will look to them for a demonstration of Aquarian principles. They have great responsibility in this respect for they are parenting a new Age.

Source of Wisdom

We of the Spiritual Hierarchy, therefore, are drawing close to the Earth at this time to guide Humanity into that understanding of life. We seek to show you in moments such as these that there is a vast source of wisdom into which you can, and must, tap and that there is an intuitive channel already present within you to that wisdom. We seek to show you that there is a divine source of power and energy beyond the physical plane of Earth which truly controls the destiny of this Earth and all upon it down to the smallest element of life.

The God-head is all around you. God is present in every aspect of every being, in every element, in every atom of matter that exists in your World. Every time you handle that matter you are handling your God. As you work so the destiny of the Universe will be revealed to you. The understanding which you now perceive but dimly, will grow into a physical reality and you will have fulfilled what you came to fulfil: to be the founders of the Aquarian Age. That is your guidance!!

SEEKING SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE? -- PART TWO

There is only one being in the whole World who truly knows you and what you should be doing. Your Creator knows not only the destiny of your present incarnation but also your past and your future ones.


You Are Unique

People seek guidance because they have come to a point in their lives when they simply cannot see the direction to take, because they are faced with a major decision such as whether or not to marry, whether or not to emigrate to another country, whether or not to give up their jobs. They have become so confused by their own thoughts and fears, by the well-meaning advice of their friends, that they can no longer see the wood for the trees.

But why, for such important decisions as these, should you look outwards for guidance, for who really can advise you since you are a unique being, unique in the whole Cosmos?? There is no other being in the whole Cosmos who vibrates on your frequency, who possesses exactly the same point of soul knowledge and wisdom that you do, who operates on your unique vibratory note. Who then can give you gidance as to the path that you should take??

Your Creator Knows

There is only one being in the whole World who truly knows you and what you should be doing. That being is your Creator. Your Creator knows not only the destiny of yur present incarnation but also your past and your future ones, not only the destiny of your family and your friends but also the destiny of the planet on which you now dwell. We of the Spiritual Hierarchy, the Creator´s servants on the higher planes of life, have cognizance of that destiny for on our level of life there is truly no time. There is no past: there is no present: there is no future.

All is one and so we see clearly in the wholeness of being that which you face as a moment in time. It is purely from this viewpoint that we are able to give guidance for we can see clearly the path on which your Soul is set. Therefore the guidance that we give is to your Soul, not to your personality. We are not interested in the facets of your personality which manifest now, have manifested in the past or will manifest in the future. We talk only to the Soul, to that spark of spirit which is eternal, which is beyond physical flesh, which is linked even now to us on the higher planes of life.

The Reality of Guidance

Guidance: to act as a guide, to show the way, to point the way, to demonstrate the way. There are many who incarnate on the plane of Earth and give guidance through the very act of their being, great Masters such as the Nazarene, the Buddha. That is the reality of guidance. Through their lives, through their individual demonstrations, they provide guidance to Humanity. See in the lives of such Masters the guidance which you seek. See in the paths that they walked, in the revelation of their minds, what is the reality of physical life.

Observe your fellow human beings who are all divine sparks of Spirit, observe the physical World around you and see how they respond to your thoughts, words and deeds for they are the mirror of your being. There is the guidance that you seek. You have no need to seek guidance of us when around you is the guidance of your Creator: the manaifest World and the beings of spirit upon it. That form of guidance has always been and will always be available to you.

As you come into contact with the Kingdoms of this Earth, not just the Human but the Animal, the Vegetable and the Mineral as well, you sound your note which brings forth a response from the Kingdoms which confirms or denies the rightness of your actions. There are those, of course, who cannot or do not want to see and for them there are other forms of guidance available, one of which we are using now. But as I said before, that guidance is to the Soul, not to the personality.

Our Own Choice

Among young people today there are many who seek guidance because they are truly lost in the World in which they find themselves. Why should this be so, for they are the sons and daughters of this World. They chose to incarnate into it. Indeed they had to struggle on the higher planes of life for the very right to incarnate on the Earth at this critical time, for there are many thousands of souls who desire to incarnate on the Earth at this time to experience the great changes that are now manifesting, to witness the transition of the Ages and the rebirth of the planet.

Therefore these young people must recognise that they are here of their own choice, because of their souls´ understanding of what the Earth and the Universe have to teach them. If they chose to be here, why therefore are they lost?? Why do the Earth and the Universe not reveal to them the direction and the path that they must take??

Believing the Illusion

For the most part it is because the young today do not listen either to the Earth or to the Universe. They listen only to themselves. They listen to the illusions and the thought-forms that they have accumulated, to what they have established as truth. They have closed their eyes to the source that could reveal to them what is the true reality of life on this Earth. The nature of the educational system through which they have progressed is such that they have always been taught to look outwards for information and instruction. Only on very rare occasions have they been called upon to be creative, to bring forth from within themselves what they hold to be sacred. Indeed, have they as individuals ever considered what they do hold to be sacred, what they hold to be of the God-head??

SEEKING SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE? -- PART ONE

Seeking spiritual guidance requires no effort or concentration on your part, for you just sit back, relax and listen. In a sense, everything is done for you. The harder way would be for you to obtain the guidance that you need through your own divine channel.

The Master Questions Us

I wonder why you think that you need guidance and why, in particular, that you should seek guidance through mediumship. Why should you, incarnate beings on the plane of Earth, equipped with your physical senses, living in the reality of physical life, seek guidance from a discarnate being living in a realm beyond your comprehension, far removed from the physical plane of Earth?? What is it that one such as I can give you which will help you to walk your path in life??

Perhaps you seek this form of guidance because not being in touch with your own inner voice, with your own spiritual guidance, you are grateful to be able to listen to any other source which is accessible to you. But, moreover this form of guidance requires no effort or concentration on your part.

A Responsibility

I, for my part, am very conscious of the responsibility of giving guidance, for I am responsible for what I say until the end of time. I am karmically responsible not only for what I say to you but for what you do because of it. It is essential, therefore, in any interchange between the planes of life such as this that you are aware of this responsibility.

Indeed, it is vital when you seek guidance in this way that first and foremost you establish that the spirit which is giving the guidance to you is, at the very least, the equal of yours in spiritual consciousness and, desirably, more evolved; for any guidance given to you by a less evolved spirit is worthless. How then are you to assess the vibratory note of the spirit being that gives guidance to you except by the right practice of what that spirit being says and by continually checking that guidance both with your own inner feelings and with the World around you, for what is the World around you but your Creator talking to you.

Intellect Contra Intuition

Do you not also consider it strange that you should listen to the guidance of one far removed from your plane of life and yet accept what that spirit being says without even being aware of the personality or the form of the being who speaks to you?? But such is the nature of life on Earth today, where intellect rules over intuition, that this form of guidance is sought by many who are trying to understand what is happening on this planet. You have often used this form of guidance in previous lives. For you it is an accepted form of communication, one which you have relied on in the past and will use again in the future. You accept guidance as your birthright.

Do The Work

I will begin by saying that it is essential in this form of guidance that you understand that I would never tell you what to do. I would never say that you should take a certain course of action, that you should walk along a certain path. That is not my purpose in talking to you. Any guidance which does this should be treated with utmost caution. The essence of guidance is that it helps you to reach your own decisions, not that you accept its decisions and implement them in blind trust. That is not guidance.

If I take away your choice, if I remove your lessons in life, the obstacles which you face on your evolutionary path, then I am removing your learning experiences and no good will come from that. I seek to guide you. I seek to teach you. I seek to help you to evolve your point of consciousness. But you must do the work; I cannot do it for you. I am simply the spark that awakens within your own consciousness what you already know to be true.

The Personality´s Illusion

But why do people seek guidance?? For some it is the path of laziness. How easy it is to ask someone else to solve your problems and to have them tell you how, or when, to do something rather than you discovering for yourself. When one has lived for a long time in the illusion of one´s personality, denying the wisdom of one´s soul, one comes to a point in time when one is truly lost, when one has walked so far along that path of illusion that one can no longer see the reality of life around one. Only at that time does one acknowledge that something is wrong and seek help. But you have to face the karmic responsibility for being in that situation, a situation of your own causing. That learning experience is vital to the soul. To remove that lesson is to destroy the very purpose of the soul being here on the plane of Earth.

WHAT IS DIVINE ONENESS? - PART TWO

Mind, body, Spirit and Earth are all interconnected with the Golden Liquid Light or Mind Energy. They are all one, yet each affects the other in subtle ways.


Golden Liquid Light

Humans moving into the Fifth Dimension must understand this concept, and also understand the subtlety of the mental body´s and mind´s influences on the creative process. This is especially true for scientists. If this is not understood, evolution will be stalled and chaos will result, causing pain to those moving through this portal of time / space.

A Magnetic Flux

A magnetic flux exists in the Universe which will be experienced more fully when Earth is integrated into the Fifth Dimension. It is sensitive and fluctuates easily through the stimulus-response patterns being emitted constantly by various energy sources. For example, whenver there is a disruption in the forcefield, a momentary disturbance is created in the magnetic resonance patterns around individuals.

The cycles of the moon and the subsequent effects on human behaviour illustrate this point. When such disturbances occur , information received by individuals is disrupted, and the mathematical symbols are disturbed. This causes "inaccurate" information to be received and assembled within the mind.

Law of Attraction

Please note that I placed the word "inaccurate" in quotation marks to make a point. In reality, no information received is inaccurate, because all information is received as a result of the magnetic patterns that form around an individual. Students of Universal Laws know this to be true and recognise that this staement is in reference to the Law of Attraction.

By using quotations, I emphasise that information exists that is more stable and conducive to the growth of the individual´s nine bodies, and that this greater wisdom can be accessed through higher vibrational patterns within the Divine Mind. When an individual is calmer and more stable, his or her ability to receive higher forms of information with fewer distortions is increased. Therefore, information received under these conditions is deemed to be more "accurate".

Evolutionary Development

Another way to assist one´s understanding is to provide another explanation. Accurate also can be defined in terms of information received through stages of the evolutionary development of the soul. What is understood and accepted as truth and accurate in one phase of development is discarded later as the person evolves into higher fields of understanding. Thus, this explains how science has evolved throughout the centuries. As wisdom and knowledge expand and become stabilised, concepts are received at higher levels of understanding and development. This, then, changes the face of truth.

Co-creators with God

So Awaken Sisters and Brothers of the Stars!! Feel this life force connection and integrate it into your existence through the stillness of your mind. Connect with it to become one with its power. If you can achieve this state of Oneness, you shall slowly become "enlightened", which will begin your journey to freedom.

Remember you are one with this force. You are the spark of Divine Creation, come to Earth to be the co-creators with God. Remember Oneness!! All is mind. All is thought. All is All.

This article is taken from the Teachings of Ancient Wisdom.

WHAT IS DIVINE ONENESS? - PART ONE

Spirit is the essence of consciousness, the energy of the Universe that creates all things. Each one of us is a part of that Spirit -- a Divine entity. So the Spirit is the Higher Self, the eternal being that lives within us.


How Thoughts Create

Our thoughts, our visualisations, and the language by which we express our thoughts are some of the most powerful tools we have for spiritual growth. Just as God, or the ALL, creates with mind, so do we as human beings. Thoughts create, and constitute the basis for all there is because thoughts are vibrations before they become thoughts. We then express them as the energies of words, emotions and actions. In this way we interact with the world and carry out our life activities.

Law of Divine Oneness

The Law of Divine Oneness helps us understand that we live in a world where everything is connected to everything else. Everything we do, say, think and believe affects others and the Universe around us. As we grow spiritually we learn how to transmute negative thoughts, words, emotions and actions into positive ones. Thus, we not only manifest a better environment for ourselves, but we also help create a world that is consistent with the One.

From Ancient Wisdom

Here is the ancient wisdom of Hermes Trismegistus, better known to the Egyptians at Thoth, on the universal principle of the Divine Concept of Oneness. Now, it is wise to note that there is a lifeline, through the Higher Self, that shall bring forth the highest frequency of information to the reader of these words of wisdom... and so this directive is given :- Feel the message with the heart centre, rather than receive the words in the mind. Absorb the Light that comes with the message, and in so doing, you shall begin the journey of becoming self-realised in the Light.

All is Mind Energy

The Divine Concept of Oneness is the Universal Mind. It is the realisation that ALL IS MIND and the Universe exists within this field of pure energy and Light. All is consciousness -- the planets, the suns, the animals, the plants, the minerals and all beings of multidimensional forms, who grace the Creator´s kingdoms. Nothing escapes this principle, for all is composed of the same substance at the subatomic level.

It is here, at the subatomic level, where the Oneness Concept sustains the life force within, and it is also at this level where higher consciousness is realised, for all is mind energy in the universes and all is information which can be reduced mathematically.

Silence the Active Mind

This field of mind energy is sometimes referred to as the Golden Liquid Light, or otherwise known as Prana, Chi or Life Force Energy. This field is accessed by individuals by silencing the active mind. This state reduces the number of electromagnetic signals emitted by higher mental actions. Silence allows our nine bodies (the soul´s vehicles whilst incarnated) to align with the perfect code that locks the individual into this force field.

Once an individual resonates to the frequency of Divine Oneness, the mind connects with symbols and patterns that reside in this force field. These, in turn enable the mind to use this connection for creation and manifestation. The key to accessing this "Power" lies in the person´s ability to remain totally calm, balanced, and at peace during all situations.

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS REVISED -- PART FOUR

I hope that you will now begin to look at the Ten Commandments in a new light. If you will only follow them they will change you beyond all recognition, for if you did but realise it the Ten Commandments are the keys for your spiritual progression on Earth.

The Eighth Commandment

"THOU SHALT NOT STEAL".

This commandment, of course means more than the simple fact that one should not take away another person´s personal possessions although, obviously, if people are to live together in society it is desirable that they should not steal from one another. The implication of stealing is, however, far greater than this. It means that you should not take that which is not yours at any level, even in the World as a whole. It means that you should not exploit your fellow human beings, that one country should not exploit another country.

A country that is rich and powerful should not use its position to deprive a poorer country of food or mineral resources which its people desperately need. One country should not advance itself at the expense of another, the rich should not exploit the poor. It means that one country should not take away another´s right to self-determination. Inherent in this is that you should treat all people as equals. You should not take away, you should not steal, any person´s individual freedom in any respect whatsovever.

The Ninth Commandment

"THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOUR"

It is obvious that you should not tell lies about anyone but, again, there is far more to this commandment that you would see at first. To lie is to speak evil of another person, to speak evil means a thought, a thought is a creation, and that creation will remain thereafter on the invisible planes of existence around this Earth. So remember that when you tell lies you are creating evil which affects not only the person about whom you lie but also yourself and many other people who will tap into the thoughts that you have created.

Most of the wickedness and the evil on this Earth comes out of Humanity´s mouth. If only Humanity would motivate its speech correctly in every respect, if it would speak only good, then life on this Earth would change in the twinkling of an eye. Every time a person speaks evil anywhere in the World, no matter whether they be a politician, a clergyman, a shopkeeper or a farmer, they are creating forces which will burden down and affect this Earth for many, many days to come.

The Tenth Commandment

"THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOUR´S HOUSE, THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOUR´S WIFE, NOR HIS MANSERVANT, NOR HIS MAIDSERVANT, NOR HIS OX, NOR HIS ASS, NOR ANYTHING THAT IS THY NEIGHBOUR´S".

Another commandment put so simply yet meaning so much. Remember that all of you, as individuals, before you incarnated chose the shape and appearance of your physical body, your status in life and the manner in which you were to lead your present life: therefore be satisfied with that life. Because another person has more money, has a better car, has a larger house, goes on more holidays than you do, that does not mean that you should covet their possessions and their way of life, for they are learning different lessons to you.

The fact that you covet their possessions or way of life attracts forces to you which were probably not intended for your present destiny. Also remember that the thought which you send out as you look at another person´s husband or wife, at another person´s car, can affect them as much as it affects you.

Recognise the force that gives matter to you. Because your personality wants a car or a house, that does not mean that you will get it, for the giver of matter, the controller of matter, on this Earth is a far greater force than your ego. Remember that matter belongs to no one, but at the same time respect the individuality of your fellow human beings who are using that matter. They are walking their paths using the matter of this Earth just like you and, their paths being different to yours, they will require different aspects of matter. Therefore, rather than seeking to imitate your fellow human beings, be yourself and walk your own path. Remember that if you seek the things of the spirit, if you seek your true path, then the matter necessary for that path will assuredly be given to you.

Accept Responsibility

Humanity today is far removed from its true path both individually, racially and planetarily, because you continually think that you know what you need, that you know what is best for you. You see, grasp, take, use and then discard. In all this you are usually motivated by greed, the desire to possess. However, once you have possessed, the desire soon goes away, but the responsibilty for what you have acquired has only just begun. So, as you acquire possessions remember that you are also acquiring responsibilities.

The least burdened person who walks the path of life on this Earth is the person who walks alone, with few possessions, for they have few responsibilities and are free to fulfil their true purpose. The person with many riches, with many possessions, is burdened down with the responsibility for them for even if they discard them the karma for their use remains with them.

I hope that you will now begin to look at the Ten Commandments in a new light. If you will only follow them they will change you beyond all recognition, for if you did but realise it the Ten Commandments are the keys to the doors of your spiritual progression on the Earth.

If you will only use these keys to unlock those doors, then one day you will stand before the majesty, the glory, the perfectness, the absoluteness, of the God of this planetary system, and when you achieve this you will have passed beyond the commandments of this Earth and will have begun to observe the commandments of the Universe.

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS REVISED -- PART THREE

If we lived in a more spiritual society, where Humanity paid more attention to the spiritual sciences as opposed to the material sciences which are devoted entirely to the benefit of Humanity´s physical needs, we would understand more of the true significance of our planet Earth.

The Fourth Commandment

"REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY, SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOUR, AND DO ALL THY WORK, BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD THY GOD: IN IT THOU SHALT NOT DO ANY WORK, THOU, NOR THY SON, NOR THY DAUGHTER, NOR THEY MANSERVANT, NOR THY MAIDSERVANT, NOR THY CATTLE, NOR THE STRANGER THAT IS WITHIN THY GATES. FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IN THEM IS, AND RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY: WHEREFORE THE LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY, AND HALLOWED IT".

How mistranslation and misinterpretation have changed this commandment! The original statement was to remember the significance of "The Seven", because this Earth operates on and through the wavelength and the vibration of seven. Its whole purpose and structure vibrates to seven. The Earth was created in seven days or, more literally, seven Ages. You possess seven spiritual centres, or chakras, which are the seeds from which your seven bodies spring. Your physical body is said to change itself every seven years. There are seven layers to your skin. There are seven colours in your spectrum. There are seven musical notes in the scale. There are seven days in a week and four times seven days in a lunar month. The Bible refers to the life of Man as being three score years and ten, or ten times seven. The frequency of seven vibrates everywhere in life on this Earth and is most important to it.

If you lived in a more spiritual society, where Humanity paid more attention to the spiritual sciences as opposed to the material sciences which are devoted entirly to the benefit of Humanity´s physical needs, you would understand more of the true significance of this Earth and of its special vibration of seven. Other planets within this Solar Body vibrate to different numbers, on other wavelengths, but seven is the number of this Earth. So when this commandment says "Remember the Seven" it is asking you to remember the number of this Earth, the structure of life on this Earth, and the purpose and significance of this Earth.

The Fifth Commandment

"HONOUR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER THAT THY DAYS MAY BE LONG UPON THE LAND WHICH THE LORD THY GOD GIVETH THEE".

Here again, mistranslation has made interpretation of this commandment difficult. Let us, however, instead of mother and father substitute male and female, or positive and negative, the balance of creation. So the fifth commandment invites you to remember creation, to remember the act of your creation, to remember what your body is composed of, the significance of its individual parts and your responsibility for it.

This commandment further says that if you look after your physical frame, if you treat it and respect it as the miraculous creation given to you by your Creator that it really is, then your days will indeed be long on the surface of this Earth. You will live for more years than Humanity lives today.

So remember the act of creation, the male and the female, the power and the wisdom, the two points of consciousness. They are the seeds through which Humanity evolves on this Earth, no matter whether it be the male and the positive, or the female and the negative. It is through these bodies that Humanity learns on the surface of this Earth, advancing its consciousness according to the choice of its destiny and the Greater Plan.

The Sixth Commandment

"THOU SHALT NOT KILL".

This is a very straight-forward law, but how Humanity wriggles to avoid it!! There is no qualification. It is absolute. Thou shalt not kill anything!! It means not only that one should not kill one´s equals in soul evolution, but also that one should not kill one´s lesser brothers or sisters be they other human beings, animals or even insects. There is a simple reason behind this law. Humanity does not create, is not aware of the balance of life on this Earth, and therefore it would be most unwise to upset that balance by removing people or animals or other forms of life that have been placed there by a greater force than it to fulfil the plan and the purpose of this Earth.

After all, if you think about it, Humanity usually kills only for its own self-interest, whether it be to win a war, to destroy and enemy, to feed its stomach or to give itself pleasure generally. People kill for personal gain, or satisfaction, and what provides the motivation for that but their ego!! A truly spiritually motivated person never kills anything. On this Earth there is no need for killing in any form whatsoever, and the sooner you realise this fact the sooner peace, goodwill, perfection and harmony will return to this Earth.

The Seventh Commandment

"THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY".

Humanity has placed a limited interpretation on this commandment to imply that people should not have sexual relations outside the bonds of marriage, and has raised this commandment to a position of supreme importance in modern life. But this, again, is only one very small aspect of the law. I invite you to consider the wider interpretation of the commandment: that people should not adulterate themselves in thought, word or deed. They should not defile themselves in any way whatsoever.

This commandment means, therefore, that you must respect your physical body. You must not eat or drink anything which will defile it. You must recognise it as being the temple of your soul. You must not use your body in any degrading act, whether it be physical or mental, sexual or otherwise. You must use the gift of creation with responsibility, and recognise that every time you commit the sexual act without intention of conception you are adulterating that act. So try to be aware of the wider implication of this commandment.
