Third, fourth, fifth and sixth commandment....

‘You shall keep the Sabbath Day holy....’ This commandment is meant to make you conscious of the fact that you are indebted to Me, that earthly life was given to you for a specific purpose, that you should sincerely strive to make contact with Me.... that you should cross the bridge to Me, that you should leave the world behind and, through contemplation, heartfelt prayer and silent dialogue with Me, move yourselves into the spiritual kingdom:.... That you thus keep a true Sabbath Day, that you take a period of rest from the rushing and racing of the world, in which you certainly live but which should not turn you into slaves. In Me alone should you recognise your Lord, and it is Me Whom you should serve and thus you should frequently stop for an hour of rest, when your thoughts are with Me even when you perform your earthly duty and are constantly active. The more you can detach yourselves from the earthly world, the more often you connect with Me in thought, the more convincingly will you recognise Me as your God and Father of eternity and thus, by fulfilling this commandment of keeping the Sabbath Day holy, you once again simply fulfil the commandment of love for Me. But your love shall also apply to your neighbour. Who, however, is your neighbour? All people with whom you come into contact.... your love shall belong to all of them.... When I, through Moses, gave people the Ten Commandments it was necessary to make people particularly aware of their mistakes and bad habits, because their love had grown cold for all people in their surroundings. Even the children no longer practised love, it was a state of wickedness, depravity, and selfishness.... For this reason the commandment of love for your neighbour had to be presented to them in every detail. They ignored all divine order, and thus they had to be given several commandments which, indeed, are all included in the commandment of love for your neighbour but which also need to be observed by people today if they don’t want to infringe against love.

You shall honour your parents, offer them the love of a child and always be obedient to them. You should always remember that they, with selfless love, are preparing you to become human beings and thus enable you to live earthly life for the purpose of higher development, that they were given this task by Me, that you should thus repay the innate love they give to you and which is motivating them to physically and psychologically take care of you. You owe them your life and thus should honour them and return their care for you until the end of their life. Then I, too, will look upon you with pleasure and give you My love because by loving your parents you show a warm and loving heart which will also love Me, once it has recognised Me as the eternal Father from Whom all living creations emerged, who He wants to shape into His rightful children. Only love will turn you into My children, and anyone who loves and honours His parents will also love the Heavenly Father and be blessed by Him....

Amen(04.10.1950) ‘You shall not kill....’ This commandment also fulfils itself if your neighbour is looked upon with love. Because love will never damage him and even less endeavour to take his life. It does not merely concern the human being’s life on earth which the heartless person intends to take; it concerns the opportunity of development which can only successfully change the human being into a child of God on earth. You therefore burden yourselves with an irresponsibly severe guilt when you violate a human being’s life, when you forcibly end it and by doing so unlawfully rob the soul of My gift of grace. You are committing a double sin, against your neighbour as well as against Me, as in fact every offence against the commandment of love for other people is an offence against your love for Me, because you also indirectly refuse to love Me, Who created your neighbour. To end an earthly life should never be endorsed even if honourable motives give cause to it. Because once again it is decisive that the soul only received the body’s life for the purpose of higher development. You should not consider earthly life, the life of the body, as the most important and consequently only take the body’s life into account. But far less should you deem earthly life so unimportant that you think you may end it arbitrarily. The person who unlawfully takes another person’s life will be pursued by an inconceivable vindictiveness on earth and even in the spiritual kingdom and, furthermore, due to such acts of hatred and heartlessness he will lapse into deepest darkness himself for he will have devoted himself to Satan who, in order to prevent all higher development, endeavours to destroy the life that I awakened. He has transferred his willingness to sin to the person and thus has used him to commit an evil act which, however, the person could have refused to commit of his own free will. He was not forced to sin.... But when earthly rulers bring force to bear, when a human being acts in self-defence in order to protect his own life, when his inner being resists an act of most blatant heartlessness and yet is unable to oppose earthly law, the attitude of the person acting against this commandment will always be taken into account. However, if the person violates the commandment wholeheartedly he will be held fully responsible because he ignores My commandment of love and belongs to My adversary....

Amen

Third, fourth, fifth and sixth commandment....

‘You shall not commit adultery....’ This area is particularly significant because it incorporates everything in relation to carnal desires. It concerns the sensual orientation, the active expression on the sexual level. Indeed, I Myself gave the right for this with the Words ‘Be fruitful and multiply....’ I Myself created humanity such that the bodies of a man and a woman long to unite, nevertheless the final purpose of the latter is just procreation. And since the human being has free will it is up to him to control himself or to fully express himself without self-control. What on one hand is blessed by Me can, on the other hand, be a most welcome opportunity for the adversary to entice the person into sin, although he will always be conscious of it because every sexual activity, every fulfilment of carnal lust pulls the human being down and even places him below the animal, which only acts out its instinct in accordance with natural law. But the human being has his freedom of will because he should learn to control himself, because he should suppress his body in order to help the soul to ascend. The sensual instincts are the greatest obstacle for the spiritualisation of the soul. And yet I created the human being such that carnal desire can pester him greatly if he allows himself to be controlled by it.... if he has no will to resist the temptations which are always caused by My adversary. The commandment I gave to you, not to commit adultery, is a serious one.... And adultery is every impure way of life which in truth signifies an unlawful conduct against My law of order.... a misuse of the natural process of procreation for the purpose of awakening human life. Two people should find each with other pure, unselfish love, and a subsequent conception as a result of such love will never be a sin because it complies with My eternal law of order. However, all sensual passion without love is of utmost danger for the soul, which will lapse into spiritual darkness and only with utmost difficulty will be able to lift itself out of it. Carnal desire is selfish love to the highest degree which stifles all unselfish love for a fellow human being, because nothing is sacred to such a person, he does not honour and respect his fellow human being but merely takes advantage of him.... He takes what does not belong to him, and thus sins against the commandment of love for one’s neighbour in many different ways. Anyone whose soul genuinely endeavours to ascend also knows that he should not enjoy life entirely uninhibited because he will feel that his soul is pulled down and that it will have to make an incredible effort in order to lift itself up again. A right kind of marriage will never find My disapproval or I would not have created humanity to reproduce itself, however, boundaries can easily be exceeded, and every excess is a breach of the marriage wanted by Me through natural law.... the coexistence of man and woman for the purpose of humanity’s reproduction.... But I know people’s nature, I know their weakness of will and My adversary’s extremely powerful influence.... I do not condemn those who sin but I Am giving them the commandment for their own benefit, and anyone who follows it will also love Me and his neighbour, he will travel the path of ascent easier than those who give free reign to their bodily instincts at the expense of their soul....

Amen

TRECA, CETVRTA, PETA I ŠESTA ZAPOVIJED....

‘Dan Sabata trebaš držati svetim....’ Ova zapovijed je naumljena uciniti vas svjesnima cinjenice da ste vi Meni zaduženi, da vam je zemaljski život bio dan u izvjesnu svrhu, da bi trebali iskreno stremiti uspostaviti kontakt sa Mnom.... da bi trebali preci most do Mene, da bi trebali ostaviti svijet iza vas i, kroz kontemplaciju, srdacnu molitvu i necujan razgovor sa Mnom, preseliti sebe u duhovno kraljevstvo:.... Da vi na taj nacin svetkujete istinski Dan Sabata, da uzimate period odmora od jurnjave i strke svijeta, u kojem zasigurno živite ali koji vas ne bi trebao okrenuti u robove. U Meni jedino(m) vi trebate prepoznati vašeg Gospodara, i Ja Sam Kojem trebate služiti i time bi trebali ucestalo zastati i naci cas odmora, kada su vaše misli sa Mnom cak kada vršite vašu zemaljsku dužnost i neprestano ste aktivni. Što više sebe razdvojite od zemaljskog svijeta, što više se povežete sa Mnom u mislima, to cete više uvjerljivo vi Mene prepoznati kao vašeg Boga i Oca od vjecnosti i na taj nacin, ispunjavajuci ovu zapovijed da držite svetim Dan Sabata, vi još jednom jednostavno ispunjavate zapovijed Ljubavi spram Mene. Ali vaša se Ljubav takoder treba primjeniti na vašeg bližnjega. Tko je, medutim, vaš bližnji? Svi ljudi sa kojima dodete u kontakt.... vaša Ljubav treba pripadati svima njima.... Kada Sam Ja, kroz Mojsija, dao ljudima Deset Zapovijedi bilo je nužno uciniti ljude posebice svjesnima njihovih grešaka i loših navika, buduci se njihova Ljubav ohladila za sve ljude u njihovom okruženju. Cak djeca više nisu prakticirala Ljubav, bilo je to stanje opakosti, izopacenosti, i sebicnosti.... Iz ovog razloga zapovijed Ljubavi za njihova bližnjega je njima trebala biti predstavljena u svakom detalju. Oni su zanemarili sav Božanski red, i time im je trebalo biti dano nekoliko zapovijedi koje su, doista, sve ukljucene u zapovijed Ljubavi za vašeg bližnjeg ali koje takoder trebaju biti vršene od strane ljudi danas ako se oni ne žele ogrješiti protiv Ljubavi.

‘Trebate poštovati oca i majku’, pružiti im Ljubav djeteta i uvijek im biti poslušni. Vi uvijek trebate imati na pameti da vas oni, sa nesebicnom Ljubavlju, pripremaju da postanete ljudska bica i na taj nacin vam omogucavaju živjeti zemaljski život u svrhu uzvišenog razvoja, da Sam im Ja dao taj zadatak, da vi stoga trebate otplatiti prirodenu Ljubav koju vam pružaju i koja ih motivira da se fizicki i psihicki brinu za vas. Vi im dugujete vaš život i stoga ih trebate poštovati i uzvracati im njihovu brigu za vas sve do kraja njihovih života. Onda cu Ja, takoder, gledati na vas sa zadovoljstvom i dat cu vam Moju Ljubav pošto ste vašom Ljubavlju prema roditeljima vi ukazali toplo i Ljubavlju ispunjeno srce koje ce takoder ljubiti Mene, jednom kada Me prepoznalo kao Vjecnog Oca iz Kojeg su sve žive tvorevine nastale, koje On želi oblikovati u Svoju zakonitu djecu. Jedino Ljubav ce vas pretvoriti u Moju djecu, i svatko tko ljubi i poštuje svoje roditelje ce takoder ljubiti Nebeskog Oca i biti blagoslovljen s Njegove strane. Amen.

‘Ne ubij....’ Ova zapovijed sebe takoder ispunjava ako je vaš bližnji promatran sa Ljubavlju. Jer Ljubav mu nikad nece nanijeti štetu a još manje nastojati oduzeti mu život. To se ne tice samo života ljudskog bica na Zemlji kojeg nemilosrdna osoba naumljava oduzeti; to se tice prilike za razvoj koja jedino može uspješno promijeniti ljudsko bice u dijete Božje na Zemlji. Vi prema tome sebe opterecujete sa jednom neodgovorno teškom krivnjom kada povrjedujete život ljudskog bica, kada ga nasilno dokoncate i cineci tako nezakonski orobite dušu za Moj dar milosti. Vi pocinjavate dvostruki grijeh, protiv vašeg bližnjega i takoder protiv Mene, kako je u stvari svaki prijestup protiv zapovijedi Ljubavi za druge ljude jedan prijestup protiv vaše Ljubavi za Mene, buduci vi takoder neposredno odbijate ljubiti Mene, Koji Sam stvorio vašeg bližnjega. Dokoncavanje jednog zemaljskog života ne bi nikada trebalo biti prihvaceno cak ako za to daju povod casni motivi. Jer još jednom je odlucujuce da je duša jedino primila tjelesni život u svrhu višeg razvoja. Vi ne bi trebali uzimati u obzir zemaljski život, život tijela, kao najvažniji i posljedicno uzimati u obzir jedino tjelesni život. No još manje bi vi trebali suditi zemaljski život tako nevažnim da si mislite kako ga možete dokoncati proizvoljno. Covjek koji nezakonski oduzme život drugoj osobi ce na Zemlji biti progonjen sa jednom nezamislivom osvetoljubivošcu i cak u duhovnom kraljevstvu i, nadalje, zbog takvih djela mržnje i okrutnosti on ce sam propasti u najdublju tamu jer je sebe predao Sotoni koji, kako bi sprijecio svaki viši razvoj, nastoji uništiti život kojeg Sam Ja probudio. On je prenio njegovu voljnost za grijehom osobi i time ga je koristio za pocinjavanje jednog zlog cina kojeg je, medutim, osoba bila mogla odbiti pociniti svojom vlastitom voljom. On nije bio prisiljen pociniti grijeh.... Ali kada zemaljski vladari nametnu nasilje, kada ljudsko bice djeluje u samo-odbrani kako bi zaštitio njegov vlastiti život, kada se njegovo unutarnje bice protivi cinu jedne najvulgarnije okrutnosti a ipak je nesposoban suprotstaviti se zemaljskom zakonu, stav osobe koja djeluje protivno ovoj zapovijedi ce uvijek biti uzet u obzir. Medutim, ako covjek krši zapovijed cijelim srcem on ce biti smatran potpuno odgovornim buduci iskreno zanemaruje Moju zapovijed Ljubavi i pripada Mojem protivniku. Amen

‘Ne ucini preljuba....’ Ovo podrucje je posebice znacajno buduci utjelovljuje sve što se odnosi spram tjelesnih žudnji. To se tice senzualnog usmjerenja, aktivnog izražaja na seksualnom nivou. Doista, Ja Osobno Sam ovome dao pravo sa Rijecima ‘Budite plodni i množite se....’ (Postanak 1:28) Ja Osobno Sam stvorio covjecanstvo tako da se tijela covjeka i žene ceznu sjediniti, unatoc tome konacna svrha potonjeg je jedino prokreacija (zacinjanje i radanje djeteta). A pošto ljudsko bice ima slobodnu volju na njemu je da kontrolira sebe ili da se potpuno izrazi bez samo-kontrole. Što je u jednu ruku blagoslovljeno od strane Mene može, u drugu ruku, biti najviše dobrodošla prilika za protivnika da primami osobu na grijeh, premda ce on uvijek biti svjestan toga pošto svaka seksualna aktivnost, svako ispunjenje tjelesne požude povlaci ljudsko bice nadolje i cak ga postavlja ispod životinje, koja jedino djeluje po svojim instinktima u skladu sa prirodnim zakonom. Ali ljudsko bice ima njegovu slobodu volje buduci treba nauciti sebe kontrolirati, buduci treba svladati njegovo tijelo [[(1 Korincanima 9:27)]] kako bi pomogao duši uzdignuti se. Senzualni instinkti su najveca prepreka za produhovljavanje duše. A ipak Ja Sam stvorio ljudsko bice tako da ga tjelesna žudnja može gnjaviti (dosadivati mu) u velikoj mjeri ako on sebi dozvoli biti kontroliran od strane nje.... ako nema volje oduprijeti se iskušenjima koja su uvijek prouzrocena od strane Mojeg protivnika. Zapovijed koju Sam vam dao, da ne pocinite preljuba, je ozbiljna.... A preljub je svaki necisti nacin života koji u Istini predstavlja jedno nezakonsko ponašanje protivno Mojem zakonu reda.... zloupotrebu prirodnih procesa prokreacije u svrhu probudivanja ljudskog života. Dvoje ljudi trebaju pronaci jedno drugo sa cistom, nesebicnom Ljubavi, i naknadno zacece kao rezultat takve Ljubavi nece nikada biti grijeh buduci udovoljava Mojem vjecnom zakonu reda. Medutim, svaka senzualna strast bez Ljubavi je krajnja opasnost za dušu, koja ce propasti u duhovnu tamu i jedino sa krajnjom poteškocom ce biti sposobna sebe izdici iz nje. Tjelesna žudnja je sebicna ljubav do najvišeg stupnja koja ugušuje svu nesebicnu Ljubav za bližnje ljudsko bice, buduci takvoj osobi ništa nije sveto, on ne odaje cast i poštovanje njegovom bližnjem ljudskom bicu nego ga jedino iskorištava.... On uzima što mu ne pripada, i time sagrješuje protiv zapovijedi Ljubavi za covjekova bližnjega na mnoge razlicite nacine. Svatko cija duša iskreno nastoji uzdici se takoder zna da on ne bi trebao uživati život sasvim neobuzdano buduci ce osjetiti da je njegova duša povucena nadolje i da ce morati uložiti nevjerojatan napor kako bi sebe nanovo podigla. Ispravna vrsta braka nece nikada naici na Moje neodobravanje ili Ja ne bi bio stvorio covjecanstvo da sebe reproducira, medutim, granice mogu sa lakocom biti prekoracene, i svaka pretjeranost je narušavanje (razbijanje) braka željenog od strane Mene kroz prirodni zakon.... koegzistencije covjeka i žene u svrhu reprodukcije covjecanstva.... Ali Ja poznajem ljudsku prirodu, Ja znam njihovu slabost volje i izuzetno mocan utjecaj Mojeg protivnika.... Ja ne osudujem one koji griješe ali im dajem zapovijed za njihovu vlastitu dobrobit, i svatko tko ju slijedi ce takoder ljubiti Mene i njegova bližnjega, on ce putovati stazom uspona lakše nego oni koji daju potpunu slobodu njihovim tjelesnim instinktima na uštrb njihove duše.

AMEN
