# Commandments > Commandments are recognitions of natural existence rather than imposed rules. Bashar teaches that all things are aspects of one infinite creation and that what one puts out is what one gets back. - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/commandments # Commandments *Blank stone slabs give way to a shared living path* In this transcript's teaching, “commandments” are not a code imposed on creation. They are presented instead as recognitions of natural existence that a society accustomed to rules and punishment interpreted as commandments. > — The Cleansing Flame (qa-10), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/the-cleansing-flame) ## From rule to recognition Bashar illustrates the reframing with the first commandment: where the familiar wording is heard as an exclusive demand for worship, he says its original sense was that there is only one All That Is, so what seems separate is still part of that one reality. This is a transcript teaching about the nature of existence, not a historical claim established by the chapter. > — The Cleansing Flame (text), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/the-cleansing-flame) ## The two universal principles *Two clear water channels pass beside scattered blank stone slabs* The account names two principles as common to every being: all things are aspects of one infinite creation, and what one puts out is what one gets back. It then places definitions, interpretations, games, agreements, and arrangements outside that shared minimum, describing them as relative rather than universal. > — The Cleansing Flame (text), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/the-cleansing-flame) ## Practical implications Within this teaching, a learner can distinguish an inherited rule from the meaning assigned to it, then consider what they are expressing and expecting to receive in return. That is an invitation to examine definitions and conduct, not an instruction to submit to an external command. > — The Cleansing Flame (text), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/the-cleansing-flame) ## The language of good and evil When asked about the devil, Bashar frames it as the planet's combined negative consciousness, sustained by collective belief, while calling the collective positive side Christ. This is part of the transcript's metaphysical vocabulary; it does not establish an independent factual account of either figure. > — The Cleansing Flame (qa-10), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/the-cleansing-flame) ## Representative passages All of what you call the commandments are simply recognitions of the integrity of existence itself.— Bashar, What you put out is what you get back. That's it.— Bashar, ## Related - [The Four Laws of Creation](https://sassani.app/topic/four-laws) - [Consciousness](https://sassani.app/topic/consciousness) - [Definitions & Beliefs](https://sassani.app/topic/definitions-and-beliefs) Markdown twin of https://sassani.app/topic/commandments.
