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 we take that is not ours will cost infinitely more than it was worth. Further, that which is wrongfully taken does benefit the taker, it harms them. In the end, they only rob themselves.
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.
When we raise our consciousness above the physical realm; and invest our focus, faith and action toward the spiritual world, nothing of true value can then can be stolen from us.
For then, that which is truly valuable, is not physical; but spiritual. Not without us, but within us. Neither will it decay or be separated from us by anything. By right of consciousness.
By right,
