THE TENTH COMMANDMENT
Thou shalt not covet…any thing that is thy neighbour’s (Exodus 20:17).
There are several phrases concerning coveting. You are not to covet your neighbor’s house, nor his wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his cattle, nor anything that is his. Much of the evil in the world is caused by wanting something to which one is not entitled. Moses knew what covetousness does to us in what we call today the unconscious or the subconscious.

Coveting affects the soul of man. Even if your coveting never leads you to take anything that does not belong to you, it undermines and ultimately rots your soul. It shuts you off from God. Why? Because to covet something means that you do not understand the Law of Being. You do not understand that whatever you are getting or lacking is the outpicturing and expression of your consciousness. Until you understand that you cannot be saved.
There is not anything in the world that you ever conceived of that God has not got in abundance. God’s supply is infinite, and to envy someone else because he seems to have more is to deny your own contact with God.
When we are grateful for all the blessings we have, their is no room for covetousness. When we truly express our bounty in our own consciousness, we will not lack for anything. When we are happy for the blessings of others, we will not be unhappy if we do not have those blessings. When we truly understand that God wants for us all the things that are good for us, we will be at peace with the blessings we have. When we have true faith in God we will look with hope and confidence to a future that is filled with all those things for which we pray. When we believe, all good things become available to us.

We are looking for acceptance and belonging, and we will often do things we don° want to get it. Neighbour
