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.
Anything the world has ever conceived, God has 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.
All that we could ever want or dream of wanting is available to us through God. To access this abundance, we must believe in God and follow God’s will. However, even then, it will only come to us when we are ready for it in our consciousness and in our actions. Also, it will only come to us when it is for our best good.
And remember, some of God’s abundance may appear on its surface as something we do not want or in fact seems bad. That is when faith and discipline are required to thank God for it and seek the blessing in it. When our faith, consciousness, thoughts, words and deeds are in harmony with God will, then all things will come to us that we need to live in the garden God created for us.
Being thankful,
