THE EIGHTH COMMANDMENT
Thou shalt not steal. (Exodus 20:15).
Many people will say, “We always knew that we must not steal. If we do we shall have trouble and probably wind up in prison.” All through the ages it is only the smallest percentage of human beings who have stolen. Respect for other people’s property was learned early in the history of civilization. However, this most fundamental law of life means that actually we cannot steal anything except that it cost us more than it was worth.
These ten laws of life are things that cannot be done, and so, says the great prophet in effect, do not waste yourself or your life trying to do these things. They cannot be done. They conflict with the fundamental Law of Being.
When we give up trying to steal, then we shall begin to have our own. We shall come into our own rights, and when we get that, liberation will not be very far off.
The truth is that one can not give away more than they get in return for the giving. We always get back more than we give. The inverse is also true. No one can steal more than they lose in return for the stealing. Anything given in love will always return more love, grace and joy than that which was lost in the giving. And, anything stolen in covetousness will always return more sorrow, fear and pain than that which was was caused by not having that which was stolen.
So, if we desire plenty, love, joy, peace and hope, then we should give that which we have, and reap all that God has to offer. If we desire fear, lack, anxiety, pain and sorrow, then we should take that which others have and we will reap all that Satan has to offer.
The choice is ours. Will we live by this commandment and freely reside in the garden God created for us, or will we adhere to the law of survival of the fittest and live shackled in the hell on earth that the evil one controls.
Choosing the garden,
Stan
