Yes, it's Me again.
Having assimilated the results of My "Life Satisfaction Survey", I realize that many of you are confused about the Ten Commandments.
In My survey I asked you to tell Me which ones you think are outmoded. Your answers suggest that you did not understand some of them or their relevance. I will, therefore, try to explain the ones which confused you and their relevance to your present time.
Commandments One and Two caused the greatest confusion but Two basically follows on from One.
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Firstly the words 'other gods' are problematic. These do not mean other deities. No matter what you call Me, as I have stated before, I'm the one who is listening. 'Other gods' means those things to which you give the status of God instead of Me.
Commandment One means that I must take precedence over anything you choose to worship. In Commandment Two, a 'graven image' is an idol; a material representation, or an actual object, which you worship, or give priority to, over Me.
Now it's not about jealousy. It's about you having a brain. By and large most of you put material things above Me. They have become your gods. Partly this is because you have invented these things and they are testament to your cleverness. However, the danger is in falling in love with your own inventions.
You give them priority over spiritual matters as if they are the be all and end all of everything. You place earthly things above the spirit. You do not realize that the reason you exist is to continue to evolve as a spirit above and beyond the corporal vessel in which you are making this part of your journey. I find it hard to believe that most of you think that your life on Earth is it; that it is all there is. Just look around you at Creation. It is, just as you are, a work in progress. There are also cycles to everything in nature. Doesn't that tell you something? There are no dead ends.
Perhaps the word 'spirit' has put you off seeking yours. The concept of a spirit is nebulous, so it's not strange that a spirit is portrayed in the same way: as a vaporous wraith. Consider the 'spiritual' world as that part of creation you don't have the ability to see as yet. Your corporal world is just one part of the whole and, just as your eyes only see certain wavelengths, your mind is still not evolved enough to see or understand the other dimensions. Basically, you have blinkers on.
Only a rare few of you philosophize. Philosophic people don't try come up with answers because they know they don't have the ability to comprehend the nature of existence, let alone the size of the physical universe. All power to you scientists for trying though. People who possess philosophical minds see their lives as a journey. They do not worship so much as wonder, but that's a kind of worship I can appreciate.
However, If you worship your technological achievements above Me, let them take precedence over Me, put Me in the back of your mind or, worse still, think that your cleverness means that there is no Me, this is breaking the first two Commandments.
In breaking Commandments you are diminishing your potential. That is what I deem Sin to be. You won't reach Heaven because you won't be looking for it and will get lost. No GPS will help you find your way in another dimension. You'll probably, if you are lucky and not wandering around in limbo, be reincarnated in an increasingly techno-centric world.
A word about Heaven. It is a ridiculous word. It is a 'state of being' to which you graduate. It is a state of enlightenment. It isn't possible to explain enlightenment. It has to be attained to be comprehended. As to where Heaven is, it is merely an extension of your existence in a dimension you can't perceive in your present form.
Science is presently working on how to upload the conscious mind into a computer chip so humans won't die and will live forever. I believe you call it SINGULARITY. I hope you will be able to see, smell, touch, move, hear and love when this takes place. In fact I hope this concept is so good, it completely resembles My creation: the human being.
In this new incarnation you may be disease, age and death proof but don't you think you might just get a teensy bit bored eventually? I'll tell you right now and it's a big yes. I'm going to be interested to observe and see if it is possible to go mad with boredom in your computer chip heaven and then, what you're going to be able to do about it.
I hope this goes some way to explaining why the Commandments exist. They are a guide to help you reach your potential rather than letting yourself diminish if you live just for the now and so cause your soul to erode. Now 'soul', there's a lovely word.
END.
