The 10 commandments & the 10 sefirot


The tree

  1. The Law of Divine Oneness: in this World we live, everything is connected to everything else. Every thought, words, actions and beliefs of ours affect others and the universe around us irrespective of whether the people are near or far away, in other words, beyond time and space.
  2. The Law of Vibration: everything in the Universe vibrates, moves, and travels in circular patterns. Each sound, thought or thing has its own unique vibrational frequency. ‘Like attracts like’ is actually referring to how a vibrational energy can resonate with or is attracted to the same or a similar vibrational energy. By giving others that which you desire, you indirectly increase that which comes back to you.
  3. The Law of Action must be applied in order for us to manifest things on earth. Therefore, we must engage in actions that support our words, feelings, vision, thoughts, dreams and emotions. These actions will bring us manifestation of various results which are dependent on our specifically chosen words, thoughts, dreams, and emotions.
  4. The Law of Correspondence basically puts us in the drivers’ seat of our own lives. Our outer world is a direct reflection of our inner world, therefore, we need to accept responsibility for our own lives. This explains the relationship between the world of the ‘infinite small’ and the ‘infinite large’ otherwise called Microcosm and Macrocosm respectively.
  5. The Law of Cause and Effect states that nothing happens by independently. It always happens because of previous occurrences. Every action has an equal reaction or consequence and it is what we sow that we reap. Every thought, action, words are full of energy.
    1. This Law of Compensation is the extended arm of the Law of Cause and Effect which is applied to abundance and blessings that flow into our lives in the form of friendships, gifts, money, inheritances and other forms of blessings.
    1. This Law of Attraction shows how we create the events, people and things that come into our lives. All our thoughts, words, feelings and actions give out energies which, likewise attract like energies.
    1. The Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy
    1. The Law of Relativity
    1. The Law of Polarity states that everything is on a continuum and has an opposite. There has to be darkness so that we might appreciate Light. There is Solid and liquid and we can see and feel the difference. We have the ability to suppress and transform undesirable thoughts by focusing on the opposite thought thereby bringing the desired positive change. This could also be likened to the law of mental vibration.
  6. The Law of Rhythm states that everything vibrates and moves to a certain rhythm. This rhythm establishes cycles, seasons, patterns, and stages of development. Each cycle is a reflection of the regularity of God’s universe. To master each rhythm, you must rise above any negative part of the cycle.
  7. The Law of Gender states that everything has its masculine (yang) and feminine (yin) principles, and that these are the basis for all creation in the Universe. As spiritual beings, we must ensure that there is a balance between the masculine and feminine energies within us in order for us to become true co-creators with God.
