I will comment on the 10th Commandment, expressed this way in The New American Bible: “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male or female slave, nor his ox or ass, nor anything else that belongs to him.”
My response: This divine injunction against coveting what belongs to your neighbor seems reasonable and straightforward. If you are not jealous and envious of what your neighbor has, then you will be less likely be tempted to steal it from him, or rob him of what it is.
I only wish elites and governments would quit envying the masses, their lives, their power, their money, their independence, their liberty, their property, their natural rights, their civil rights. These ruling parasites violate the 10th Commandment as a way of living and ruling, and it bothers their consciences not one whit.
There are likely many corollary points leading out from this seemingly straightforward, literal command, so I will note a few right below.
First, as a rational egoist, I am all in on not worrying about what other people have, don’t have, are doing, are not doing, how talented they are (smarter or more creative than you are), or if they are handsomer than you are or are richer or more popular than you are.
Your job is to not covet anything about them, and if they have, do or are, things that you are desirous to possess, to perform, or to convey yourself in demeanor and bearing, then emulate those more successful than you, but don’t hurt, steal from, or seek to destroy them because they are just better than you are in many ways. There will always be others greater and lesser than yourself, but the Good Spirits can guide you to maverize, so you can be satisfied with developing the gifts and talents that God has provided you with as you are, where you now live.
Jealousy, envy and coveting are social, group feelings and behaviors, so shed these by self-realizing. As you maverize, you grow in merited self-esteem, and then it matters not too much what others have or do. Just be glad for them and wish them well.
Second, you need to protect yourself and your family, by firmly pushing away and repudiating those that covet what you have or are by reminding them that there is no coupling between their illicit, baseless coveting of what you have or are, and that they need to quit babying themselves, and to quit worrying about who and what you are, and to start concentrating on who they are and what they can do with what they have to build a worth, prosperous, fulfilling life so they need not envy others nor any longer covet the lives and things of neighbors.
Third, if you cultivate a relationship with a good deity, then you will know happiness, real happiness, with divine presence and blessing in your life. You resulting feeling of contentment and gratitude, though still maverizing until the end of your life, should enable you to not covet what others have any longer.
Fourth, you should not envy property of others: this indicates that other people are individuals with their personal property, and these sovereign individuals are allowed property, material good, and property rights, approved of by God. Keep your hands off their property.
Fifth, I do not foresee a Tower of Babel scenario in which humans seek to overthrow the gods. Secular humanism and sacred humanism are allowed by the good deities as long as our self-realizing as living angels does not become some sick, subversive rebellion, some transhumanist ambition to become living gods seeking to overthrow the Mother and the Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Good Spirits and all good deities.
We are to work for the existing good deities, never dreaming about, seeing to rival or l overthrow them like did unsuccessful, revolutionary Lucifer and his corrupt allies and subordinates of old.
Self-realizing humanism is acceptable to the Light Couple, and is not to be confused or conflated with rebellious transhumanism which the good deities will crush down as the demonic revolution that it is,
Sixth, we are to self-realize as our final cause, so we should maverize our potential, the personal power of powerfulness. We are not to envy others their own power, lives, and souls to do their own thing and be all that they can be. We are not to covet or conspire to rob them of their power, lives, and souls.
Here is this same commandment from the Holy Bible (KJV): “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’s.
