The Ten Commandments
Just as a child outgrows simple rules once they develop the capacity for moral reasoning, humanity has outgrown external behavioral codes now that consciousness has evolved to require direct psychological work. The Ten Commandments, from the time of Pisces, served as training wheels for a developing consciousness—perfectly necessary when humanity required external structure. Now, in the Age of Aquarius, these commandments are not obsolete but fulfilled—their esoteric meaning revealed as humanity matures to engage with their psychological essence rather than merely their external form. We will not destroy the Piscean Commandments but transmute them, revealing their true purpose as the Aquarian Commandments that initiate this new age through direct internal work rather than external obedience.
Behold, we stand before the great gorge between ages. The Piscean Ten Commandments are not where we stand, but the very stones with which we build the bridge to Aquarius. Each transmutation reveals how external prohibition becomes internal work, how behavioral regulation transforms into psychological liberation. The bridge is complete from Pisces to Aquarius from the following:
Thou shalt comprehend and love the Innermost within thyself above all egoic states.
Thou shalt not invoke the sacred forces of consciousness for egoic purposes.
Thou shalt recognize and honor the sacred cycles of consciousness within thyself.
Thou shalt honor thy internal Father (the Innermost) and Divine Mother Kundalini through conscious work.
Thou shalt comprehend and eliminate the anger that kills consciousness within yourself.
Thou shalt eliminate lust from thy consciousness in thought, word, and deed.
Thou shalt comprehend and eliminate covetousness that seeks to take what belongs to others.
Thou shalt comprehend and eliminate the egoic states that create falsehood in consciousness.
Thou shalt eliminate the psychological infidelity that betrays thy Innermost.
Thou shalt comprehend and eliminate the very mechanism of desire that creates perceived separation between self and other.
The first commandment—”Thou shalt comprehend and love the Innermost within thyself above all egoic states”—establishes the supreme priority of consciousness work. It serves as the fundamental principle against which all other psychological work must be measured, creating the ultimate standard for what deserves our attention and energy.
The second—”Thou shalt not invoke the sacred forces of consciousness for egoic purposes”—protects the integrity of spiritual practice by ensuring that all techniques of meditation, prayer, or esoteric work remain directed toward awakening rather than personal gratification, recognition, or power.
The third—”Thou shalt recognize and honor the sacred cycles of consciousness within thyself”—establishes psychological timing as sacred work, teaching that consciousness operates in natural rhythms of expansion and contraction, and that forcing transformation against these cycles represents violation of divine order within oneself.
The fourth—”Thou shalt honor thy internal Father (the Innermost) and Divine Mother Kundalini through conscious work”—reveals the fundamental masculine and feminine principles within consciousness, establishing proper relationship between the divine spark that guides us and the Kundalini force that eliminates egoic aggregates.
The fifth through ninth address the major egoic aggregates that must be eliminated: fifth commandment eliminates anger that kills consciousness; sixth eliminates lust that misuses creative energy; seventh eliminates covetousness that creates perceived lack; eighth eliminates falsehood that fragments perception; ninth eliminates psychological infidelity that betrays our divine union.
The tenth—”Thou shalt comprehend and eliminate the very mechanism of desire that creates perceived separation between self and other”—addresses the root cause of all suffering, recognizing that desire itself creates the illusion of separation from the Being and from others.
Together, these form a complete system of psychological accounting where each commandment balances the others, creating a comprehensive method for transforming consciousness from external obedience to internal liberation.
The first ten commandments eliminate what obscures consciousness; the final two—'Thou shalt do thy duty' and 'Thou shalt make my light shine'—establish what consciousness must actively do once those obscurations are removed. 'Thou shalt do thy duty' represents the conscious performance of obligations across all seven bodies, transforming abstract understanding into concrete action. 'Thou shalt make my light shine' addresses the ultimate purpose of psychological work: allowing the Innermost to express through purified consciousness rather than being obscured by egoic aggregates
From Chapter 25 in Samael Aun Weor’s book: The Aquarian Message, he left behind the Aquarian Commandments reserved for those who want to die for their Innermost:
“First: Thou shalt love thy internal God, and thy neighbor as thy Self.
“Second: Thou shalt study the secret doctrine of the Savior of the world.
“Third: Thou shalt never slander thy neighbor, neither shalt thou utter immodest or vain words.
“Fourth: Thou shalt sacrifice the self for the love of mankind and to love thy worst enemies.
“Fifth: Thou shalt obey the will of the Father on Earth as it is in heaven.
“Sixth: Thou shalt not commit fornication, neither adultery, in thy thought, words, and deeds.
“Seventh: Thou shalt fight against the world, the demon, and the flesh.
“Eighth: Thou shalt be infinitely patient and merciful.
“Ninth: Thou shalt practice the Arcanum A.Z.F. with thy spouse.
“Tenth: Thou shalt wash thy feet in the waters of renunciation.”
With the Aquarian Ten Commandments by Samael Aun Weor, one dies through the Innermost. With this Decalogue, “Thou shalt make my light shine” is already embedded in the First Commandment; likewise, “Thou shalt do thy duty” is already embedded in the Final Commandment.
The Piscean Commandments regulated behavior; the Aquarian Commandments liberate consciousness. The old decalogue protected society through external law; the new one transforms the individual through psychological work. What was once prohibited externally is now comprehended and eliminated internally. This is not the rejection of divine guidance but its fulfillment—the revelation of esoteric meaning that was always encoded within the exoteric form. The bridge is complete, not to abandon the old but to fulfill its purpose: bringing humanity from the age of external obedience to the age of internal comprehension, where consciousness no longer needs rules because it has eliminated the very conditions that would make breaking them possible.
