Polarity
THE FIFTH COMMANDMENT
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee (Exodus 20:12).
We should respect our parents just because they are our parents, but that teaching is just the very outer layer of this commandment. Underneath it is instruction in divine metaphysics because your real father and mother is God. When this commandment says, “Honour thy father and thy mother,” it brings in the two poles, the male and the female, and, of course, polarity is the motive power of the universe. In the bible, mother means the feeling nature, and the father is the knowledge nature. Most people have one side or the other more developed. When our prayers fail and we do not demonstrate, we fail because we are not honoring our father and our mother.
Thoughts, feelings and knowledge are intangible, yet they define our reality. When we respect each of these aspects of our existence and understand how they shape our world, we have begun real understanding of truth. When we learn to direct and control these activities, then we are on the path to being a true child of God. When these activities are disciplined as directed by God, then we can walk in light and joy each day. Then we honor our earthly and heavenly parents.
Thinking and knowing God,
