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.
