6th Commandment - Thou Shalt Not Murder

[Ankh]

Does LOO shed any light on this commandment?

I always thought it was "Thou shalt not kill," and now I find that the Hebrew said "Thou shalt not murder," and didn't mention killing in general.

I am curious as to what perspective Ra would bring to this.

Ra said that commandments are negatively oriented:

"16.15 Questioner: Can you tell me the origin of the Ten Commandments?

Ra: I am Ra. The origin of these commandments follows the law of negative entities impressing information upon positively oriented mind/body/spirit complexes. The information attempted to copy or ape positivity while retaining negative characteristics."

And as Don correctly assumes here - "Thou shall not" - does not follow the Law of One:

"16.20 Questioner: It would be unlike an entity fully aware of the knowledge of the Law of One to ever say “Thou shalt not.” Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct"

However, there are some actions which, if carried out in manifestation, departs a bit from the Law of One:

"We have found it to be inappropriate in the extreme to encourage the overcoming of any desires, except to suggest the imagination rather than the carrying out in the physical plane, as you call it, of those desires not consonant with the Law of One; this preserving the primal distortion of free will."
