Heart’s 10 Commandments

Beth Blog 5 0

20140609_111701

Paulo Coehlo’s book, The Supreme Gift stirred a whisper to create a 10 Commandments for the heart.

No other Gods – I will not surrender my heart and mind to others or their truths. There is one Truth-Love.

Do not make graven images or bow down to them – I will not let things, or the media dominate my life. I am not airbrushed. I am not what I possess or don’t possess. 

Don’t take God’s name in vain – I will not dishonor myself with words of “stupid,” “inept,” “helpless,” “ugly,” or “unworthy.” 

Keep the Sabbath day holy – I will honor time for myself to hear my voice, the voice of nature, and Life. 

Honor your father and mother ­– All beings and all life are my teachers, parents, and family. 

Do not murder – I will not kill my dreams, my hopes, my mind, nor my heart. 

Do not commit adultery – I will not let others or the media tempt me to believe the beloved within me is unworthy, unexciting, beautiful, and perfect as she is. 

Do not steal – I will not take from others that which I will not give myself – joy, love, and strength. Nor will I steal from my own to fit in the world. 

Do no lie – I will not tell myself ‘someday I will be or reach for that dream.” I have only today. I will not tell myself it doesn’t matter when it does. 

Do no covet – I will not feel insignificant or a failure when I others appear to know more, have more, or are more capable than me. I am perfect and sufficient as I am. I am perfect imperfection. I will not covet what I have when another is in need. 

The 11th…..

I will not write the commandments upon stone which can be lost, broken, or disfigured. I will write them upon my heart with the ink of Love. 

And the only one I need remember …. Love, love, love…..
