A great deal has been said and written about the DECALOGUE. The Christian Churches adopted it from the Hebrews as the alpha and omega of Christian teaching to... eventually, "go" to Heaven.
Well, to a certain degree they were right, but only if we treat life, our lives, today, as journeys to a Promised Land. And if this destination is none other than a state of Consciousness, akin to Heaven, or, at the very least, the next Devachan on our way home.
This also would not matter if we didn't know that in realities at higher rates of vibration of energy, time also changes, until eventually we dilutes into the eternal NOW. After all, "Present" is the only reality in which we actually conduct our Becoming.
Hence, contrary to the teaching of religious organizations, the purpose of the Decalogue was not to reach a geographical location, only to develop a state of Consciousness in which I AM can manifest, or metamorphose from the Omnipresent Energy of Creative Consciousness, into the reality in which we live.
This was made quite clear to Moses (Hebrew Moshe) around 13th century bce (before the Common Era, or bc). Moses did not deliver his people from the "physical" slavery of the Egyptians, which appears to have been fairly benevolent, but from the belief in the pantheon of man-made gods, prevalent at the time in Egypt.

The sad part is, that, more than 3000 years later, neither the Jews nor the Christians appear to understand Moses' intention. And this in spite of Moses' statement that he received the Commandments from the I AM, or, as we call it today, from his Higher Self, which, through the power of the mind, has the ability to metamorphose the rates of vibration of all energies of which our reality is made.
Should the religious fraternities have accepted Moses' words, they would have lost their power, hence their control over their believers, and the attendant financial gains (tithing). As always, in this Phenomenal Reality, greed rules all people who are hungry of power. Not the power of I AM, only the artificial, transient power of Ego.

I did my best to point this out in the booklet below. Moses was teaching his people how to live, here and now. He was teaching them what would lead them to a state of mind, a state of Consciousness, that would assure their happiness. A happiness their forefathers had lost when they left the "Garden of Eden".
Yet, even now, we can return to Paradise at any time. It is up to us. All we need do is to listen to our own I AM, to the Individualization of the Omnipresent Eternal Energy of Creative Consciousness. The only true reality.
If you enjoy the Decalogue, there are five more brief interpretations of ancient teaching that may clear up misunderstandings. You'll find them on my webpage. They are my ongoing search for Secular Ethics.
If you read them, you'll be halfway to the "Promised Land"!
