The first interpretation, the literal sense, is the one best suited to the people to whom it was given. It corresponds exactly to the point which they had reached in evolution.
Every higher interpretation belongs to a higher turn in evolution's spiral.
Therefore a second interpretation in the light of Christ Jesus' Teachings illumines the ten Commandments of the Old Testament with the new light of two new Commandments, the Commandments of love. The first interpretation serves to raise the consciousness of a people not yet awake spiritually. The second, or Christ, interpretation raises these same masses of people to the point of responsibility as individuals. The third interpretation takes the same people in mind and heart to the mountain, where we will find ourselves not self-important individuals, but a tiny integral part of the sublime majesty of the terrestrial and celestial macrocosm. Our hearts, in this deeply experienced knowledge, are full to overflowing with love of and gratitude to God Who has given us such abundance.
