“YOU CONTINUE TO SEPARATE RELIGION, science and Law. Bring them together. It is where your religion and your science meet that you will find your laws, and these laws will not need enforcing simply because THEY ARE. They will be understood.”

On the commandment, Thou Shall Not Steal…

First, stealing implies that someone else has something more than you have. This is already a false assumption. Someone may have more money or things than you do but that does not mean they have more than you or are a better person, richer in spirit, happier, or in less pain. That has become clear in your media in the last few years.

You (humans) have come to believe you own money and things. All you can own is your own power - nothing else will last, as all will fade away. So what is it that is really worth stealing? Only power/light energy; this is what the needy really need. This is the cause behind most of what you call crime - someone wants more energy than they are allotted at any given period in their time frame on the planet without the knowledge to create. So they take instead and then must needs give energy as a consequence whether in the same lifetime or in another.

The second assumption that is incorrect: Having more of whatever it is you wish for will make you happy - including money. It may, but only for a very short time, because it cannot last. Energy that is not derived from power within will be lost in one form or another. For example, a person steals an object (energy) that is not his/hers. That energy will be taken from him/her in another form, whether it is a physical object or an actual energy drain by another. There are many ways this can occur.

Stealing also means taking something you have no right to because you have not “earned” it. Earned here is not meant in the traditional sense, but karmic, in the realm of the spiritual or energetic. Taking (that which does not belong to you) is a negative mind form action. It cannot have any positive results because it comes out of an empty place. Nothing comes from emptiness. (What you perceive as God coming from emptiness is a false paradigm as is what you term space is not really empty.) The emptiness inside needs to be filled with light and love that needs of itself and by its nature be shared and given freely. Thus taking anything continues the cause/effect cycle that means something will be taken from you.

Stealing also means energy is being transferred unwillingly instead of freely. It is impossible to steal something freely given. Your retail outlets could learn from this. They have the right idea, an energy exchange of money for merchandise, but the wrong intent: Their intent of catching a “stealer” for punitive action is not working. With the realization of focus on energy and cause/effect, the stealer must have the consequences, but the consequence must be the giving of energy as a lesson for that which was stolen. There are now a few in your justice system who now perceive this, but neither can the giving be forced.

Now, what about the person who steals food or a piece of warm clothing out of need? Again, the lack of understanding the Universal Laws brings us to cause and effect. Why is he hungry or cold? He chose the experience. Yet there are ways out if the individual choice is there. Suffering can be relieved by the compassion of a giver thereby both becoming instruments of lessons. This is quite different from pessimistic judging assigning blame to the sufferer.

Thus stealing is merely about stealing energy. The beggar who steals a loaf of bread needs that energy for survival and doesn’t know how to get that energy for himself. Any kind of stealing becomes unnecessary when the human learns how to work with the energy that is already abundantly available. Manifesting this or that seems a current trend in your printed media. But what you need to know about manifesting is how to use the energies that swirl around you. Center and pull them into yourself for grounding and turn to positive thinking. Focus on your creative self for what you want, than release and let the universe do its work.

Consider the beggar who takes bread because he is hungry for the energy: should he be punished because he hasn’t learned how to use the energy? Should he be punished if he is needy? This is not something your courts of law can yet decide. Compassion and forgiveness are the keystones of consequences in lesson. These lessons are now moving more quickly to those who need them most.
