A 10-Part Series of Teachings
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
From The Grail Message
The Fifth Commandment:
You must not kill!
Beat your breast, O man, and praise aloud that you are not a murderer! For to kill is to murder, and according to your conviction you have never transgressed the Commandment of the Lord. You can stand proudly before Him and, without fear or anxiety, look forward with hope to the opening of this very page of your book of life.
But have you ever considered that within you there is also the act of killing, and that killing is synonymous with murder?
There is no difference in this. You make the distinction only in your way of expression, your language; for the Commandment does not say one-sidedly: Thou shalt not kill any life on Gross Material life earth! But in a broad and comprehensive way: You must not kill!
For example, a father had a son. The father was driven by a short-sighted earthly ambition that his son should study at all costs. But in this son rested gifts that urged him to do other things, whereby studying would be of no use to him at all. So it was quite natural that the son felt no desire for studying, which had been forced upon him, nor was he able to summon up the strength necessary to do so joyfully. The son was obedient. He laboured to fulfil his father’s will at the expense of his health. For since it was against the son’s nature, against the gifts he carried within him, it was quite natural that the physical body would also suffer. I do not want to follow the case any further here, which is repeated so many times in life on earth that it would go into the hundreds of thousands and even more. But it is irrefutable that the father, through his ambition or stubbornness, tried to kill something in this son that was given to him on earth to develop! In many cases it really succeeds in killing it, since development later in life is hardly possible in that the healthy vital force for it was disrupted in the best years, carelessly wasted on things alien to the boy’s nature.
The father thus severely violated the Commandment: You must not kill! Quite apart from the fact that with his actions he deprived human beings of something that could perhaps be of great benefit to them through the boy! However, he must consider that the boy is or may be spiritually akin to him or to the mother, but nevertheless remains before the Creator a separate individual, who is obliged to develop the gifts he received on earth for his own good. Perhaps, by God’s Grace, he was even granted the opportunity to redeem a heavy karma by inventing something that would be of great benefit to humanity in a certain sense! This guilt of prevention weighs especially heavy on the father or mother who placed their narrow earthly views above the great threads of destiny, and thus abused their power of parenthood.
It is no different when parents are able to let the petty earthly calculations of their intellect prevail in the marriages of their children. How often is a most noble feeling of their child stifled ruthlessly, whereby not only is the child given the worldlessness*, but at the same time unhappiness of the soul, which remains more incisive for the child’s being than all the money and earthly goods.
Of course, parents should not give in to every dream or wish of a child. That would not be fulfilling their parental duty. But the serious examination is required, which must never be one-sidedly earthly! However, it is precisely this selfless examination that is seldom or not at all applied by parents. There are cases of a thousand kinds. It is not necessary for me to speak more about this. Think about it for yourselves, lest you violate this so grave Word of God in the Commandment! Undreamt-of paths will open up for you!
But then there is also the child who can also stifle the parents’ hopes, which is only reasonable! If it does not develop the gifts within itself as is necessary to achieve great things, as soon as the parents have accommodatingly allowed it to choose the path it has asked for. Then, too, it comes to the killing of noble feelings in its parents, and it will have transgressed the commandment in a crude way!
Then too, if a person somehow deceives true friendship, or trust that someone gives him. He kills and thereby injures something in the other that really holds life! It is a violation of God’s Word: You must not kill! Brings him evil fate, which he must resolve.
You see that all Commandments are only the best friends for people, to protect them faithfully from evil and suffering! Therefore love them and respect them as a treasure that brings you only joy! ––

In the midst of despair, however, helpers in the service of the Grail will begin their task! The great construction begins. No one else is able to bring help to the broken....

The Mastermind Teachings is essentially an invitation to quicken the rhythm of your spiritual evolution. Master John, along with the Helpers in the Beyond, see how people are suffering for lack of this spiritual knowledge which is necessary for them to live well. This lack of knowledge and also ignorance means that we often do not know how to act well in certain situations and in certain problems that come our way in our lives.
Readers of the Grail Message do have the Teachings of the Lord which should help us to act well in any situation that arises in front of us, in our lives. But often the Principals and Spiritual Helpers can see how people do not act on this knowledge when they find themselves in a situation where they have to use their knowledge to get by.
For humanity to begin to grasp and live these never-before-given teachings in their purity so as to act well, therefore, there has be a shift in our mindset, which shapes our backgrounds of interpretation. A reprogramming of our subconscious (awakening) mind*, which in our awakening convictions has so far caused distortions and resulting confusion in the experiencing of many things in our lives.
It is with the joy in seeing our present human spiritual awakening that Master John offers these teachings, to help ALL humanity lift its mindset in the splendour of its pure form, so as to know how to behave rightly in given situations. Teachings that provide answers to questions that can help us in connecting our subconscious mind to its highest knowing: intuitive intelligence. In so doing, we give opening to the Light and no longer to grope in darkness in looking downward to our conscious (reasoning) mind – the lower personal "ego" which, in never coming to the point of experiencing spiritually therefore knows nothing, never truly lives ___

* The ability to think creatively and to understand concepts depend on our awareness factor termed the subconscious mind. It is in the subconscious mind that all our mental processes take place – without consciousness. Every thought we generate immediately takes on a form that embodies the expression that gives meaning of the thought in the subconscious mind. As we conceive a thought, the subconscious mind accepts, affirms, and advances with certainty the suggestion it receives whether the reciprocation is good or bad. As the edifice of order, judgement and reciprocity, therefore, the subconscious mind is responsible for the internal programming that forms our beliefs, memories of experience, judgments and habits; in other words, it forms our mindset.
