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

TRETJA, ČETRTA, PETA IN ŠESTA ZAPOVED....

»Spominjaj se Sobotnega Dne in ga posvečuj....« (Eksodus 20:8.... 2-Mz.) Ta zapoved ima namen, da se zavedate dejstva, da ste vi pri Meni zadolženi; da vam je bilo zemeljsko življenje dano v določen namen. Da bi morali iskreno stremeti k temu, da vzpostavite stik z Menoj .... da bi morali iti preko mosta do Mene; da bi morali pustiti svet izza vas in se preko globokega premišljanja (kontemplacije), srčne molitve ter tihega pogovora z Menoj preseliti v duhovno kraljestvo.... da vi resnično posvečujete Dan Sobotni (Dan Sabata)tako, da si vzamete čas za počitek od vrveža in divjanja sveta, v katerem zagotovo živite, kar pa vas ne bi smelo spremeniti v sužnje. Vi morate v Meni edino prepoznati vašega Gospodarja, in Jaz Sem Tisti, Kateremu morate služiti. Zaradi tega bi se morali pogosto zaustaviti in najti čas za počitek, da so vaše misli z Menoj, celo ko vršite vašo svetovno dolžnost in ste nenehno dejavni. Kolikor bolj se ločite od zemeljskega sveta in kolikor bolj se v mislih povežete z Menoj, toliko bolj prepričljivo Me boste vi prepoznali kot vašega Boga in Očeta večnosti. In na ta način, ko izpolnjujete to zapoved, da posvečujete Dan Sobotni, vi ponovno preprosto izpolnjujete zapoved Ljubezni do Mene. Vendar pa se mora vaša Ljubezen ravno tako nanašati na vašega bližnjega. Kdo je vaš bližnji? Vsi ljudje, s katerimi pridete v stik.... vaša Ljubezen mora pripadati vsem njim.... Ko Sem Jaz preko Mojzesa dal ljudem Deset Zapovedi, je bilo še posebej nujno, da se ljudi ozavesti o njihovih napakah in slabih navadah, ker se je njihova Ljubezen ohladila za vse ljudi v njihovi okolici; celo otroci niso več prakticirali Ljubezni. To je bilo stanje zlobe, izprijenosti in sebičnosti.... Zaradi tega jim je zapoved Ljubezni do njihovega bližnjega morala biti postavljena do vsakepodrobnosti. Oni so zanemarili celoten Božanski red in zato je bilo nujno potrebno dati nekaj zapovedi, katere pa so dejansko vse vključene v zapoved Ljubezni do bližnjega, toda katere morajo ravno tako izvajatiljudje današnjega časa, če oni ne želijo zagrešiti proti Ljubezni.

»Morate spoštovati očeta in mater« (Eksodus 20:12.... 2-Mz.) jim dajati Ljubezen otroka in biti vedno ubogljivi do njih. Vi morate vedno vedeti, da vas oni z nesebično Ljubeznijo pripravljajo, da bi postaličloveška bitja, in vam na ta način omogočajo, da živite zemeljsko življenje z namenom vzvišenega razvoja; da Sem jim Jaz dal to nalogo in da morate vi zaradi tega odplačati prirojeno Ljubezen, katero vam dajejo in katera jih motivira, da fizično ter psihično skrbijo za vas. Vi ste jim dolžni življenje, in zato jih morate spoštovati ter jim vse do konca njihovih življenj vračati za njihovo skrb za vas. Potem pa bom Jaz ravno tako z zadovoljstvom gledal na vas in vam bom dal Mojo Ljubezen, ker ste vi z vašo Ljubeznijo do staršev pokazali toplo in z Ljubeznijo izpolnjeno srce, katero bo obenem Ljubilo tudi Mene, ko Me je enkrat prepoznalo kot Večnega Očeta, iz Katerega so nastale vse žive stvaritve, katere On želi oblikovati v Svoje zakonite otroke. Edino Ljubezen vas bo spremenila v Moje otroke;in vsak, ki ljubi ter spoštuje svoje starše, bo obenem ljubil tudi Nebeškega Očeta in bo z Njegove strani blagoslovljen.

AMEN

»Ne ubijaj....« (Eksodus 20:13.... 2-Mz.) To zapoved se ravno tako izpolnjuje, če se na vašega bližnjega gleda z Ljubeznijo. Ljubezen mu namreč ne bo nikoli povzročila škode, še manj pa si bo prizadevala, da bi mu odvzela življenje. To se ne tiče samo življenja človeškega bitja na Zemlji, katerega neusmiljena oseba namerava odvzeti; to se tiče priložnosti za razvoj, katera lahko edina uspešno spremeni človeško bitje v Božjega otroka na Zemlji. Vi se glede na to neodgovorno obremenjujete z neko težko krivdo, ko prizadenete življenje človeškega bitja, ko ga nasilno ubijete in tako nezakonito okradete dušo za Moj dar milosti. Vi ste storilidvojni greh: proti vašemu bližnjemu in obenem tudi proti Meni, kakor je pravzaprav vsak prekršek proti zapovedi Ljubezni do drugih ljudiobenem tudi nek prekršek proti vaši Ljubezni do Mene,ker vi neposredno ravno tako zavračate ljubiti Mene, Kateri Sem ustvaril vašega bližnjega. Odvzemanje nekega zemeljskega življenja ne bi smelo biti nikoli sprejeto, celo če za to dajo povod častni motivi; ponovno je odločujoče to, da je duša prejela telesno življenje v namen višjega razvoja. Vi zemeljskega življenja, življenja telesa ne bi smeli vzeti v poštev, kot da je najpomembnejše,in zaradi tega upoštevati edino telesno življenje; še manj pa ne bi smeli vrednotiti zemeljsko življenje, kot da je takó nepomembno, da si mislite, da ga lahko prostovoljno odvzamete. Človek, ki nezakonito odvzame življenje drugi osebi, bo preganjan z neko nezamisljivo maščevalnostjo na Zemlji in celo v duhovnem kraljestvu; poleg tega pa bo zaradi tovrstnih del sovraštva ter krutosti on sam propadel v najglobljo temo, ker je sebe predal Satanu.... kateri si, da bi preprečil vsakršen višji razvoj,prizadeva uničiti življenje, katerega Sem Jaz oživel. On je njegovo pripravljenost za greh preneselna osebo in jo s tem izkoristil za izvajanje nekega dela zla, katerega pa bi oseba lahko s svojo lastno voljo zavrnila storiti;on ni bil prisiljenstoriti greha.... toda ko zemeljski vladarji vsilijo nasilje, ko človeško bitje deluje v samo-obrambi, da bi zaščitil njegovo lastno življenje, ko se njegovo notranje bitje upira delu neke najbolj vulgarne krutosti, vendar pa se je nesposoben zoperstaviti zemeljskemu zakonu, bo stališče osebe, ki deluje nasprotujoče tej zapovedi, vedno vzeto v poštev. Če torej človek krši zapoved s celim srcem, bo obravnavan kot popolnoma odgovoren, ker iskreno zanemarja Mojo zapoved Ljubezni in pripada Mojemu nasprotniku.

AMEN

»Ne prešuštvuj....« (Eksodus 20:14.... 2-Mz.) To področje je še posebej pomembno, ker vsebuje vse, kar se nanaša na telesna poželenja; to se tiče čutnega usmerjanja, dejavne izraznosti na seksualnem nivoju. Jaz Sem dejansko Osebno dal pravico na to z besedami: »Bodita rodovitna in množita se....« (Geneza 1:28.... 1-Mz). Jaz Osebno Sem ustvaril človeštvo na način, da telesi moža in žene hrepenita po združitvi; kljub temu pa je končni namen slednjega rojevanje (spočetje in rojevanje otroka). Ker pa ima človeško bitje svobodno voljo, je on odgovoren, da se kontrolira ali pa da se izrazi popolnoma brez samo-kontrole. Kar je po eni strani blagoslovljeno iz Moje strani, je lahko po drugi strani najbolj dobrodošla priložnost za nasprotnika, da osebo primami na greh.... čeprav pa se bo človek vedno zavedal tega, ker vsaka seksualna dejavnost, vsaka izpolnitev telesnega poželenja, človeško bitje povleče navzdol in ga celo postavlja izpod živali, katera deluje edino po svojih instinktih v skladu z naravnim zakonom. Vendar pa ima človeško bitje njegovo svobodno voljo, ker se mora naučiti kontrolirati sebe; mora namrečpremagati njegovo telo (1 Korinčani 9:27), da bi pomagal duši, da se povzpne (dvigne). Senzualni instinkti so največja ovira za poduhovljenje duše. Vendar pa Sem Jaz Sam ustvaril človeško bitje na način, da ga telesno poželenje lahko v veliki meri nadleguje, če si on dovoli, da ga le to kontrolira.... če nima volje, da se upre skušnjavam, katere pa vedno povzroči Moj nasprotnik....

Zapoved, katero Sem vam dal, da ne prešuštvujete, je resna.... Vendar pa je prešuštvo vsak nečist način življenja, kateri v Resnici predstavlja neko nezakonito vedenje, ki je nasprotujoče Mojemu zakonu reda.... zlorabo naravnih procesov spočetja v namen oživljanjačloveškega življenja. Dva človeka morata najti eden drugega s čisto, nesebično Ljubeznijo;in nadaljnje spočetje,ki je rezultat takšne Ljubezni, ne bo nikoli greh, ker se podreja Mojemu večnemu zakonu reda. Namreč vsaka senzualna strast brez Ljubezni je največja nevarnost za dušo, katera bo propadla v duhovno temo in se bo samo z največjo težavo sposobna dvigniti iz nje. Telesno poželenje je sebična ljubezen do najvišje stopnje, katera zaduši celotno nesebično Ljubezen do bližnjega človeškega bitja, ker takšni osebi ni nič sveto; on ne daje časti in spoštovanja njegovemu bližnjemu človeškemu bitju, ampak ga edino izkorišča.... On jemlje, kar mu ne pripada, in tako na veliko različnih načinov greši zoper zapovedi Ljubezni do človekovega bližnjega. Vsak, čigar duša si iskreno prizadeva, da se povzpne, bo ravno tako vedel, da on ne bi smel povsem nebrzdano uživati; on bo namreč (ob)čutil, da je njegova duša povlečena navzdol in da bo morala vložiti neverjeten napor, da bi se ponovno povzpela (dvignila). Pravilna vrsta zakonske zveze ne bo nikoli naletela na Moje neodobravanje, ker drugače Jaz ne bi ustvaril človeštva tako, da se razmnožuje. Meje so namreč lahko z lahkoto prekoračene, in vsako pretiravanje je rušenje zakona, katerega Jaz želim preko naravnega zakona.... sobivanja moža in žene v namen reprodukcije človeštva.... Vendar pa Jaz poznam človeški značaj (naravo); Jaz poznam njihovo šibkost volje in izjemno močan vpliv Mojega nasprotnika.... Jaz ne obsojam tistih, ki grešijo, vendar pa jim dajem zapoved vnjihovo lastno korist. In vsak, ki ji sledi, bo obenem tudi ljubil Mene ter njegovega bližnjega. On bo potoval po stezi vzpona lažje od tistih, ki v škodo njihove duše dajejo popolno svobodo njihovim telesnim instinktom.

AMEN
