There is a deeper spiritual and metaphysical significance and relevance to the Ten Commandments that is so much more than a list of rules. The First Commandment is the foundational key to spiritual understanding and liberation. However, the statement made before the Ten Commandments has a value in itself, “I am the Lord (the Law…the Spiritual Principle…the I AM), who brought you out of the land of Egypt (out of the land of limitations), out of the house of bondage (out of ties to old ways of thinking and being).”
God is I AM THAT I AM, and you are I AM.
The first commandment is: “You shall have no other gods before me.”
The translation of the first commandment is: The power of God, in and through you, is the power to transcend limitations and frees you from old ways of thinking and being. You cannot have anything above or in the face of the God in you…the ‘I AM” of you…your true identity. There is nothing above or in the face of your true identity. To know that gives you all power.
Emmet Fox said, “When you have to go to tackle the “Egyptians” and your heart turns to water within you, and you say to yourself, “I cannot do this,” “I am not adequate”, “There is no way,” then remember your true identity and say to the Egyptians, “I AM has sent me,” and the road will open and you will surmount your difficulties.”
Know this Truth, take it into your hearts and this Truth will set you free.
