A 10-Part Series of Teachings
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
From The Grail Message
The Third Commandment:
You must keep the Sabbath day holy!
Who takes the trouble to understand a commandment? If one looks at the children, the adults, how they carelessly treat the commandments of their God, horror could, or should, come to every seriously thinking person. The commandments are taught to children at school where they are superficially discussed. This is the human being who is when he has absorbed the wording and can give some information about it, as long as there is a danger that he will be questioned about it. When he then leaves school and enters professional life, this wording is soon forgotten, and with it the meaning. The best proof that he was not really interested in what his Lord and God was demanding of him. But he does not even demand anything with it, but in love gives to all human beings what they urgently need! After all, it was noticed from the Light how much people lost their way. So God, like an educator, faithfully showed them the path that would lead them to eternal existence in the Luminous Realm of the Spirit, thus to their happiness. Whereas non-observance must lead to one’s unhappiness and ruin! For this very reason it is not really right to speak of commandments. Rather, they are well-intentioned pieces of advice, showing the right way through this World of Matter, and which the human spirits themselves have wished to know. But even this so beautiful thought has no effect on man. He has literally become too bogged down in his own trains of thought and does not want to see or hear anything else except what he has built up for himself in the form of views that his little earthly knowledge has allowed him to construct. He does not feel how the World of Matter carries him further and further to the limit where, for the last time, either - or stands for him, as the decision that now remains decisive for his whole being, according to which he must go his chosen path to the end without being able to turn back from it again. Even if he finally comes to realization. It then becomes too late and only contributes to increasing the agony for him.
In order to help him gain knowledge in time, despite his aberrations, God gave mankind the third commandment, the advice to keep the Sabbath holy! If this commandment had been fulfilled, every human being in the course of time would have gradually awakened the longing to strive towards the Light, and with this longing the path would finally have revealed itself which would have brought him up to the fulfilment of his wishes, which would have increasingly condensed into prayer. Then man would have stood differently today at the turning point of the World! Fully matured, ripe for the Kingdom that must now come.
So, you, hear and act, that the fulfilment of the commandment may prepare your way. You must keep the Sabbath day holy! You! It is clearly written in the Words that you must consecrate the day of rest, make it holy for yourself! A Sabbath day is a time of rest, that is, when you rest from the work which your path on earth imposes upon you. But by no means do you consecrate the hours of rest, the day of rest, if you only want to care for your body. Nor if you seek diversion in games, drink or dance. The hours of rest should lead you to a quiet contemplation of your thoughts and intuitions, to review your life on earth up to now, especially the past working days of the last week, and to make use of them for your future. You can always look back over six days, what lasts longer is easily forgotten. It will not fail to happen that your intuitions will slowly float higher and you become a seeker after the Truth. Once you are really a seeker, a path will be shown to you. And as you walk a new path here on earth, unknown to you until then, only examining, exploring, so you should also carefully take step by step on the new spiritual paths that open up to you, in order to always keep firm ground under your feet. You must not jump, because then the danger of falling is greater. Through such thinking and intuiting in the solemn hours of your earthly existence you will never lose anything, but only gain.
No one sanctifies an hour of worship by going to church if he does not at the same time want to think in the time of rest about what he heard there, in order to absorb it properly and live in it. The priest cannot sanctify your day if you do not do it of your own accord. Weigh again and again whether the actual meaning of God's Word is completely in harmony with your work. By this means the Sabbath day will then be sanctified by you; for it has acquired, through quiet contemplation, the content for whose purpose it was instituted. Every Sabbath day thus becomes a landmark on your path, which retroactively gives the days of your gross material activity the value which they should have for the maturing of your soul. Then they are not lived in vain and you are constantly making long-lasting progress. To rest on the Sabbath day does not mean to fritter time away. As soon as you neglect this, you miss your time which was allowed you for maturing, and after the turning point for the World, which now slowly closes its rays around you; there is only a short time left to make up for what you have neglected, provided that you use all the strength you have left for it. Sanctify, therefore, the Sabbath day! Be it in your home or, better still, in nature, which helps you to become awake in thoughts and intuition! Fulfil the commandment of the Lord. It is for your benefit!

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....
Abdruschin, "Submission" – Resonance 1: Vol.20.
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.
