Posted by Sharyn Sambrick from another page. I found this deeply thought provoking. The key being, of course, KNOWING God, not intellectually but deeply and intimately. (I speak of this in my book, The Great Truth.) I would only say that as for #1, knowing God as I do only makes we want to worship Him more.
Here’s how I see and experience the 10 Commandments now — not as rules, but as the natural result of knowing God, or remembering that we are all One:
1. Once you know God, there is no other — worship becomes unnecessary.
2. Once you know God, no object or idol could ever replace that.
3. Once you feel the sacred within, you speak with reverence.
4. Once you live in presence, every day is holy.
5. Once you recognize the divine in all, you honor your roots.
6. Once you see yourself in others, you cannot harm.
7. Once you love with truth, there is no betrayal.
8. Once you feel whole, there’s nothing to take.
9. Once you live in integrity, lying has no place.
10. Once you know your own fullness, there’s nothing left to covet.
The deeper commandment might just be: Know God — and everything else takes care of itself.
Thank you, Sharyn, for sharing your perspective.
