Laws for the Living on the Earth

These Laws are put into the whole work of the Creation by God's Will from the very beginning. They have always been and shall stay unchangeable forever – simple and acting straightforwardly. It's only the earthly man who – through his way of perception – grasps their visible demonstrations around him in a more or less complicated and unwieldy way.

Many people see in God mainly a being similar to a man in kind, though much more enlightened, knowing and powerful. Unfortunately, a lot of people cherish this unhealthy notion! Nevertheless, this is possible only if they admit the existence of God as such at all! Yes, this is the truth! And the First Commandment has been inertially perceived in such a narrow way for whole generations!

Read more … I. I am the Lord, Thy God!

Wherever we go, everywhere we meet the disregard of this Commandment! What is striking about it is the fact that breaking the Second Commandment has become most typical of the people who otherwise claim about themselves not to believe in anything except this world, not at all in God as such!

He who has once experienced the hour of worship with open spirit knows what the words sanctification of the Sabbath day mean! Such a person knows that the sanctification does not consist only in the moments of the worship itself, but it concerns in its all-encompassingness something else too. The sanctification of the Sabbath day consists mainly in the inner utilization of the whole day for the arrangement of all emotional and mental experiences of the previous working days! This cannot be done completely during the hour of worship when man´s spirit spreads himself out in its full opening in front of the levels leading to the Highest!

As it is with all the other Commandments, also the words of the fourth one have to be understood more deeply! First of all it is necessary to consider rightly what the term honour includes! For each consistently thinking man it is understandable that at the place where honour should be spoken about, there must first be values that can be held in honour and esteem!

Read more … IV. Thou shalt honour father and mother!

It might be said it is just the Fifth Commandment that appears best understandable to everyone who has ever dealt with Moses´ Commandments. You shall not murder! Most people feel completely innocent regarding this Commandment because they are conscious that they have never taken anybody else´s life! They even look strictly, with scorn at all those who have offended against this Commandment! Earthly murderers are generally considered outcasts of the society, those who did not hesitate to waste another man´s life!

Read more … V. Thou shalt not kill!

What is mostly regarded as adultery today is the situation when somebody strange sneaks in between husband and wife and seduces one of them to vice! Herewith most people consider the meaning of the Sixth Commandment totally exhausted and therefore nobody deals with it any more! Many people face this Commandment with a sneer, because they feel to be more enlightened than the others and think that they have inwardly put up with this Commandment once and for all! They suppose they are therefore probably exempted for some incomprehensible reason from the huge machinery of the Creation in the case of this Commandment and that there is no responsibility resulting for them from this Commandment! How wrong they are in this assumption!

Read more … VI. Thou shalt not commit Adultery!

How many people are there on the Earth who have never at least once in their lives violated this Commandment? Yes, everybody knows that it is not possible to take another man´s property without his permission. However, how many indirect byways lead to the final acquisition of something belonging to someone else´s possessions! It is so tempting to frame the plans in such a way that something from the foreign property eventually falls into the hands of the person who has picked it out.

When reading this Commandment, immediately many people inwardly visualize the picture of the earthly judiciary, testifying in cases falling under the investigation process! Such a person thinks it does not relate to me now and at that moment he is convinced that if he were once called to testify in some lawsuit, he would surely act honest and fair! It might also occur to him that in the case of a dispute between his friends or colleagues he would voluntarily come forward as an uninfluenced witness to help with the clarification!

Read more … VIII. Thou shalt not bear false witness

The words of this Commandment speak clearly and plainly! And in spite of this fact also here the great value of what the mentioned words express has been distorted. You shall not covet! Just think once into the depth of these words! The word covet is the one that is the most crucial in the Nineth Commandment! And the word wife too! Link these two words together and you will get the true meaning of what this Commandment says! You shall not covet a wife, a woman!

Read more … IX. Thou shalt not covet Thy neighbour’s wife!

Although the Tenth Commandment openly speaks about a painful sore, which nowadays affects mankind in the strongest way, there are many people who do not understand the exact meaning of this Commandment at all! They suppose that if they live outwardly orderly and keep all mundane laws and regulations at the same time, the matter is settled for them! The Tenth Commandment, the same as all other Commandments, does not concern only the external, material world, but it turns to the deepest core of man first!

God is Light and Life! Whoever will not strive to venerate the Creator with his whole life, from the heights of Light he will be considered an enemy of life itself! Such a man will be necessarily notified in order not to disturb all the others in the Creation. From the very beginning Light is the donor of life, the fosterer of everything pure and natural that develops in its vibrations. Therefore in the future on the Earth no other education will be reinforced by the Laws of the Creation than the one leading to the primary origin of life – to God!

Read more … XI. Honour the Creator, Thy God and Lord!

The thought is the forerunner of the deed! Until now the opinion has prevailed that a thought is intangible in its inaccessibility. Now it is different. In the immediate reinforced effect everyone shall experience on his own skin how strictly the origin of thoughts in the human is distinguished in the universe. All human thinking will be illuminated by Light till the last dust, in order to be either raised in its purity or disintegrated as a source and the seed-bed of the evil and wrong volition.

Jesus said: Love your neighbour as yourself. In this grand Truth lies the demand on man´s will – to approach with his heart the understanding of other people. Yet who does really act this way? Therefore it is a requirement in the Creation these days that people shall learn it this time! Up to now it has been up to everybody´s own decision to what extent he is really willing to take the commandment of love seriously. However, how piteously mankind has failed! Instead of help it has so far shown only the effort to control the others. Instead of love people hammered the iron points of hatred and wrath.

Foster beauty – work on yourself, ennoble yourself and your surroundings! Beauty can be found in everything that originates in the emanation from Light. It is the beauty that is natural in every work. True beauty is always natural and pure, in its simple grandeur it is eternal and beatific, over generations and ages. If genuine beauty comes out of man´s hands, it becomes real art, which maintains a permanent ability to captivate and refresh. The caricature of beauty that people began to call modern art is something unnatural in the Creation. Such art is not linked with the artist´s ability to receive inspiration from the hights in images and visions. It has become a matter-of-course that the works of modern art must excel in intricacy, wild colourfulness, unhealthy fantasy, which the author himself often does not understand either.

Everything on the Earth is subject to the circle of balance. Through the Power of God’s Laws, balance is embedded into everything and pervades everything, so that due to keeping this principle – the Law of necessary compensation, lasting harmony is kept. Everything automatically submits to this great principle. Look at nature, everything fits together, beginning with mountain masses and oceans, ending with the tiniest creature. Everything makes sense, because all changes and the evolution are following the strict Law of give and take. The essential forces of the Creation will not allow disharmony and disturbing licence to be brought into this order. And yet a temporary violation of this harmony has occurred in a small part of the universe and today it is causing huge disasters in all areas it has touched. The inflictor of these disorders is the earthly man!

Protect the woman! At first sight a Commandment speaking only to men. The man who is not able to protect the woman and to create for her the necessary space for the fulfilment of her true task on the Earth is either no real man or he is a despicable, inwardly numb creature. Nowadays, it is demanded from all men to behave in their rebirth towards the woman as to the guardian of pure life on the Earth! Yet in this demand the necessary change must be conducted not only by the man, but primarily by the woman herself!

He, who will not try hard to exert all his powers to discern in advance all possible ways how peace can be disrupted, will be immediately led to the recognition of the consequence! This is the newest that people shall learn to live with in near time! With the immediate recognition of the consequence of their behaviour. However, despite the initial appearance of this Commandment to be strict and unyielding, every man who is good in his essence will recognize what immense help to mankind consists in it. The recognition of one´s own responsibility!

Read more … XVII. Keep peace and justice!
