DWQA QuestionsCategory: Divine GuidanceYou promised us previously that you could give us a list of Ten Divine Choices as a kind of updating of the Ten Commandments. Will you please do that for us now?

Indeed, it as our great pleasure to do so. This is very much in keeping with your desire to promote all of your hard work in probing the meaning of things and to understand the workings in order to help others with healing needs, in particular, but also with seeing the true meaning of life, and the consequences of all that might be happening, and has led you to many knowings about the risks and ways in which humanity is being threatened. Nothing could be of greater value than having such a warning. In a sense, the request for the divine choices is equally valuable because the updating of divine message compared to the ancient Scriptures is a divinely guided, and divinely inspired, and a divinely intended addition to human knowledge and awareness. It is high time there were advancements in understanding and appreciation of the divine and its reach, and its desire for humanity to be expressed in the highest and best way. This is to the advantage of all to be in divine alignment. When you are on your own, living according to your wits, your reach will be much more limited, and this is particularly when bad things can happen, and you are most vulnerable. To live on a divine path brings with it strength and an appreciation of divine principles because this will be like second nature to most. The heart will show you when you are bending the rules too greatly, when you are giving in to a darker impulse and may cause harm to another or to oneself. But it is always helpful to have the possibilities organized and described in written form so people understand the divine perspectives in a general way, rather than having to study a lengthy list of complex parables to divine their meeting, and then perhaps argue among themselves as to the correct interpretation. This is the major drawback of much of the Scriptures, that the context of their cultural environment, and the difficulties of language translation ambiguities, and the heavy editing to corrupt the material itself with the many changes and deletions, wholesale, have rendered these documents of variable benefit. This has been quite a handicap down through the ages and led to much misinterpretation and human folly, even though often well-meaning, intending to follow divine teachings but misunderstanding what is divine and what might not be, and then leading others astray and harming the self by following bad examples and faulty interpretations of what is truly divine, and what is not. So, we would set out the following as a guide, as a kind of template for life:
  1. Uplift the self with no harm to others.
  2. Uplift others with no harm to the self.
  3. Honor the responsibility to family and to friends for the exchange of love, and fulfill commitments.
  4. Be honest in all transactions as a way of honoring the soul of the other party and one’s own soul and its integrity.
  5. Share what you gain from your efforts with others in need, in a balanced way, to not harm the self or loved ones who rightfully have priority.
  6. Share love in everything you do, and be open for opportunities to give your love to others in as many ways as you can, through acts of kindness, giving thanks, being respectful, offering encouragement, and showing appreciation and gratitude for what you received from others, as well.
  7. Safeguard your soul to nurture its learning and growth, not at the expense of others but to meet your responsibility to be your soul’s guardian, and take care of its safety and protection from harm.
  8. Aid all others with their learning and growth, to understand their need for this as a birthright and an important part of life, and understand this does not represent the actions of an enemy, but fellow humans in need, and not meant to take away from you getting your share. In a world of love there is room for all. This is both a challenge and an opportunity.
  9. Healing and repair is the highest of priorities for the self, as no one else can see to this. It must come from within each person as a desire and a commitment to make the investment to guarantee a happy future.
  10. Honor the need of others to have healing and to see their plight, in part, as your responsibility and obligation as a fellow human, so you are sympathetic, and supportive, and understanding of the importance for them to have a pathway to healing in order to make up for losses and wounds to their soul, as all will be harmed when one suffers. You are in this together and share the responsibility for one another. No one is safe until all are safe. This is the true and quite profound meaning of the unity of the human family. You can make this a practice because it is not only an idea but a reality.
