Continued from Part 1...
By meditating on these sharp and well-defined contrasts, we
can learn to emphasize and nurture the beneficial "With God"
consciousnesses in all ten of the fundamental aspects of our
own, God-given conscious and subconscious awareness--equally
and perpetually, night and day, seven days a week throughout
the seemingly all-too brief durations of our mortal lives on
Earth. Daily, we practice being with God by doing God's work,
by speaking God's words and by thinking God's thoughts. This
is not confuse our own feeble understanding with that of God,
but rather to embrace God's Word in every moment of our lives,
and invite Jesus Christ to fill the gaps for our inadequacies,
more rather to stand in our places, and spare us the Judgment.
Begin with His Ten Commandments, knowing that the "teeth" of
God's Universal Law is the Golden Rule to love God [Leviticus
19:18] thus to love thy neighbor as thyself [Deuteronomy 6:5].
Hereinbelow I've precisely translated these Ten Commandments
from the incomparably authoritative Latin Vulgate, commenting
on each commandment with our "With God vs. Without God" list:
_____________________________________________________________
1 / VI:
"locutus quoque est Dominus cunctos
We have spoken likewise is the Dominant one altogether
sermones hos ego sum Dominus Deus
the sermons this. myself to be the Dominant one Zeus
tuus qui eduxi te de terra Aegypti
of you who brought up yourself from the land Egyptian,
de domo servitutis non habebis
away from the house of servitude. not shall you have
deos alienos coram me"
gods alien in the presence of me.
Thus, With God *I AM* Gives! (charity, joviality, joy, dominance,
supremacy, melody). But Without God I am Withholding (ungracious,
joyless, enslaved, sordid, dissonant). You see, God wants us to
be free, not enslaved (and He is Truth, who sets us free indeed).
Jehovah is JOVIAL, generous, Dominant, supreme among His equals!
Free as a bird, expansive and augmenting (never a slave to sin).
The Dominant one of heaven is speaking on behalf of His heavens,
being wholly of One mind, One concerted will and loving purpose.
_________________________________________________________________
2 / IX:
"non facies tibi sculptile neque omnem
not shall you make of you sculpture nor any kind of
similitudinem quae est in caelo desuper et quae
similitude to which to be in heaven above or which is
in terra deorsum nec eorum quae sunt in
in the earth below neither anything which exists in
aquis sub terra non adorabis ea
the waters under the earth, not shall you worship them
neque coles ego sum Dominus
nor tend to them. myself to be the Dominant one
Deus tuus fortis zelotes visitans
Zeus of you. with my power I do zealously visit
iniquitatem patrum in filiis in
the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto
tertiam et quartam generationem eorum qui oderunt
the third and fourth generation of them who are hating
me et faciens misericordiam in milia his
me. and I am making mercy on the thousands those
qui diligunt me et custodiunt praecepta mea"
who are loving me and are taking heed of precepts mine.
Thus, With God *I AM* Perfects! (wisdom, sagacity, mystery,
occult, comedy). But Without God, I am Corrupting (unwise,
undiscerning, unmysterious, unrefined). You see, God wants
us to be wise and take His instructions for life SERIOUSLY.
This second commandment has long-since been in contention
between artists, iconoclasts, and overzealous literalists.
Given the anti-idolatry theme common throughout scripture,
it is certain this means that we mustn't create and worship
anything manmade as if the Almighty God Himself had made it!
That's the distinction. Contrarily, this doesn't imply that
we shouldn't freely create or build things that deliberately
or coincidentally might resemble any part of heaven, earth,
or beneath the earth. Just remember that we make it from the
naturally-occurring materials that God made, thus we fashion
it with mortal human hands, not the hand of Eternal God. In
the book of Revelation, the ascended Jesus repeatedly warns
against idolatry, against "eating things sacrificed to idols"
and evildoers who "repented not of the works of their hands,
that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and
silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can
see, nor hear, nor walk" [Rev. 2:14,20; 9:20]. Similarly in
the old testament, the destruction of idols is commonplace,
even the "molten calf" of Exodus 32:4, "'These thy gods, O
Israel, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'" is
exemplary of what the second commandment warns us against.
____________________________________________________________
3 / X:
"non adsumes nomen Domini Dei
not shall you take the name of the Dominant one of the Gods
tui in vanum nec enim habebit insontem Dominus
yours in vain. not in fact will hold innocent the Dominant one
eum qui adsumpserit nomen Domini Dei
him who is taking the name of the Dominant one of the Gods
sui frustra"
His in vain.
Thus, With God *I AM* Lives! (center, focus, activity, development,
memory). But Without God, I am Dead (uncentered, unfocused, inactive,
undeveloped, forgotten). You see, God wants us to live and be active,
focused and forever to be developing, and improving into the ages of
the ages! God wants us to Remember, to attune with His eternal memory
herein Heaven-on-Earth. Jesus tells us "remember from where you have
fallen, act in penitence, and the first works do" [Rev 2:5]; keyword
*remember*, be mindful of our ancestors' long-lost Paradise-on-Earth,
and how the Sons of God fell into their vulnerability via temptation,
no longer being called eternal "Sons of God", but mortal sons of man.
Remember that Jesus said "...but whosoever speaketh against the Holy
Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither
in the world to come" [Matthew 12:32; cf. Mark 3:29, and Luke 12:10].
Be careful *not* to blaspheme the name of the Dominant one of heaven,
seeing that the Father, the Son and Great Spirit are ONE [1 John 5:7].
And remember how Jesus said "He (God) is not the God of the dead, but
(is) the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err" [Mark 12:27].
So don't misinterpret sin and its wages death. Rather, live and walk
penitently, happily and harmoniously, knowing that our psyche, soul,
is eternal, and forever lives to live again, and continue to develop
via our ever-unfolding awarenesses of life, death, and the afterlife.
_____________________________________________________________________
4 / VII:
"memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices sex diebus
remember to the day of Saturn's to sanctify. six days
operaberis et facies omnia opera
will be for work and you shall make all the works
tua septimo autem die sabbati Domini
of yours. seventh is but day of Saturn's of the Dominant one
Dei tui non facies omne opus tu et
of the Gods yours. not shall you make any work, you, nor
filius tuus et filia tua servus tuus
the son of you, nor the daughter of you, the servant of you,
et ancilla tua iumentum tuum et
nor the maidservant, the beast of burden yours, nor
advena qui est intra portas tuas sex
any outsider who is within the gates of yours. six
enim diebus fecit Dominus caelum et terram
for days to make the Dominant one heaven and earth,
et mare et omnia quae in eis sunt et requievit
and the sea, and all that in them is, and is resting
in die septimo idcirco benedixit
in the day seventh, wherefore is the benediction of
Dominus diei sabbati
the Dominant one for the day of Saturn's,
et sanctificavit eum"
and thus He is sanctifying it.
Thus, With God *I AM* Takes (judgment, scythe, harvest, rest, reflection,
hymnody). But Without God I am Constrained, (insufficient, fallow, rotting,
irreverent). You see, God wants us to rest, reflect, verily to *adjudicate*
God's creation in real-time--to devoutly revere all that is with unwavering
discipline. God is saying Look! Behold *all* I have made. Ponder everything
God has done, is doing, and shall do into eternity--forever in the present.
That's a tall order, since God's universal creation is ultimately unlimited,
infinite and unfathomable. One of the best ways we confess this, the fourth
commandment sanctifying *I AM*'s seventh heaven, is through the singing of
devotional hymns which praise, honor and glorify the Living God of heaven.
Consider the spirit of the sabbath, God's rest from the first six evening-
mornings of His creating of the heavens and the earth [Genesis 2:1ff]; hence
one day's rest in seven, a period for rejuvenation and relaxation from work.
But such a day's rest per sabbath was disallowed to the oppressed, abused
and exploited ancient Hebrew slaves, even thousands of years before Moses.
Not only is the weekly sabbath good for us as human beings, it also reminds
us to attune with--become conscious of--the spirit of God's seventh heaven,
thus realizing our own limitations in Time. And our individual limitations
are not static, but rather are dynamic and liberating under the divine will
of the Dominant one of heaven. Thus "the sabbath was made for man, not man
for the sabbath" [Matthew 12:10-13; Mark 2:27; Luke 13:10-17]. Mankind was
never intended to "shut out" the nine other equally-important Commandments
on the sabbath day, neither to "forget" the fourth Commandment with regard
to the Universal sanctity of the sabbath and the seventh heaven on ANY day
of the week! Rather, we should remember them altogether, lending emphasis
to the order of heaven for whom each day of the week is named [Genesis 1:1-
31;2:1-4]. To wit, every seventh consecutive solar day ought to serve to
remind us of our Creator's rest from creating, to reflect on His creation,
as to be introspective, contemplative in the mirror of His ten awarenesses.
Technically, the actual _day_ of the sabbath commences at sundown Friday
evening and continues until sunset Saturday evening--as our modern Roman
calendar reckons time. Thus, albeit for most unwittingly, we Judeo-Xians
observe two "sabbath" days per week; Saturday (Saturn's day), which is
the actual calendar sabbath day, and Sunday (Sun's day), which is truly
the first day of the week, in which we are observing--celebrating--the
Resurrection of Jesus Christ, beginning *after* sunset Saturday evening
thus the "day of discovery" of His resurrection beginning about sunrise.

His in vain.
Thus, With God *I AM* Lives! (center, focus, activity, development,
memory). But Without God, I am Dead (uncentered, unfocused, inactive,
undeveloped, forgotten). You see, God wants us to live and be active,
focused and forever to be developing, and improving into the ages of
the ages! God wants us to Remember, to attune with His eternal memory
herein Heaven-on-Earth. Jesus tells us "remember from where you have
fallen, act in penitence, and the first works do" [Rev 2:5]; keyword
*remember*, be mindful of our ancestors' long-lost Paradise-on-Earth,
and how the Sons of God fell into their vulnerability via temptation,
no longer being called eternal "Sons of God", but mortal sons of man.
Remember that Jesus said "...but whosoever speaketh against the Holy
Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither
in the world to come" [Matthew 12:32; cf. Mark 3:29, and Luke 12:10].
Be careful *not* to blaspheme the name of the Dominant one of heaven,
seeing that the Father, the Son and Great Spirit are ONE [1 John 5:7].
And remember how Jesus said "He (God) is not the God of the dead, but
(is) the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err" [Mark 12:27].
So don't misinterpret sin and its wages death. Rather, live and walk
penitently, happily and harmoniously, knowing that our psyche, soul,
is eternal, and forever lives to live again, and continue to develop
via our ever-unfolding awarenesses of life, death, and the afterlife.

4 / VII:
"memento ut diem sabbati sanctifices sex diebus
remember to the day of Saturn's to sanctify. six days
operaberis et facies omnia opera
will be for work and you shall make all the works
tua septimo autem die sabbati Domini
of yours. seventh is but day of Saturn's of the Dominant one
Dei tui non facies omne opus tu et
of the Gods yours. not shall you make any work, you, nor
filius tuus et filia tua servus tuus
the son of you, nor the daughter of you, the servant of you,
et ancilla tua iumentum tuum et
nor the maidservant, the beast of burden yours, nor
advena qui est intra portas tuas sex
any outsider who is within the gates of yours. six
enim diebus fecit Dominus caelum et terram
for days to make the Dominant one heaven and earth,
et mare et omnia quae in eis sunt et requievit
and the sea, and all that in them is, and is resting
in die septimo idcirco benedixit
in the day seventh, wherefore is the benediction of
Dominus diei sabbati
the Dominant one for the day of Saturn's,
et sanctificavit eum"
and thus He is sanctifying it.
Thus, With God *I AM* Takes (judgment, scythe, harvest, rest, reflection,
hymnody). But Without God I am Constrained, (insufficient, fallow,
rotting,
irreverent). You see, God wants us to rest, reflect, verily to
*adjudicate*
God's creation in real-time--to devoutly revere all that is with
unwavering
discipline. God is saying Look! Behold *all* I have made. Ponder
everything
God has done, is doing, and shall do into eternity--forever in the
present.
That's a tall order, since God's universal creation is ultimately
unlimited,
infinite and unfathomable. One of the best ways we confess this, the
fourth
commandment sanctifying *I AM*'s seventh heaven, is through the singing
of
devotional hymns which praise, honor and glorify the Living God of
heaven.
Consider the spirit of the sabbath, God's rest from the first six
evening-
mornings of His creating of the heavens and the earth [Genesis 2:1ff];
hence
one day's rest in seven, a period for rejuvenation and relaxation from
work.
But such a day's rest per sabbath was disallowed to the oppressed, abused
and exploited ancient Hebrew slaves, even thousands of years before
Moses.
Not only is the weekly sabbath good for us as human beings, it also
reminds
us to attune with--become conscious of--the spirit of God's seventh
heaven,
thus realizing our own limitations in Time. And our individual
limitations
are not static, but rather are dynamic and liberating under the divine
will
of the Dominant one of heaven. Thus "the sabbath was made for man, not
man
for the sabbath" [Matthew 12:10-13; Mark 2:27; Luke 13:10-17]. Mankind
was
never intended to "shut out" the nine other equally-important
Commandments
on the sabbath day, neither to "forget" the fourth Commandment with
regard
to the Universal sanctity of the sabbath and the seventh heaven on ANY
day
of the week! Rather, we should remember them altogether, lending emphasis
to the order of heaven for whom each day of the week is named [Genesis
1:1-
31;2:1-4]. To wit, every seventh consecutive solar day ought to serve to
remind us of our Creator's rest from creating, to reflect on His
creation,
as to be introspective, contemplative in the mirror of His ten
awarenesses.
Technically, the actual _day_ of the sabbath commences at sundown Friday
evening and continues until sunset Saturday evening--as our modern Roman
calendar reckons time. Thus, albeit for most unwittingly, we Judeo-Xians
observe two "sabbath" days per week; Saturday (Saturn's day), which is
the actual calendar sabbath day, and Sunday (Sun's day), which is truly
the first day of the week, in which we are observing--celebrating--the
Resurrection of Jesus Christ, beginning *after* sunset Saturday evening
thus the "day of discovery" of His resurrection beginning about sunrise.
