1. You shall have no other gods before me.
You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. - Deuteronomy 5:5-23 (Moses)

Introduction to the Gnostic Revelation
We know that God itself has no form. That is why the great Kabbalist Moses, in one of the commandments that he gave at that time said: "You shall not make any image of God." Because really when we want to experience that entity that we call God, we can not give any image of it, because it is the origin of all images, of all forms. But God itself has no image, but it can take any image. And this is something that we have to understand, because sometimes in our experiences we see God in different forms. But it is because our own entity, our own Being, wants to show us his attributes, divine attributes related with our Consciousness. But after he appears with that shape, he dissolves that shape because he doesn't need it. So the objective of that entity, the Glorian we will say, in this case, because it is that light, is to create a vehicle in order to express itself into the matter, you see? God needs to express itself in the matter. So he needs a perfect vehicle in order to do it. And this is why God creates the human being, that is the only objective, the only reason in order for that Monad to have form and to express itself in the world of matter.

Right Mindfulness
Audience: In the Bible it says that we do not have to have any image of God, what has that to do with remembering God?
To remember God does not require an image. And truly, when that statement is made in the Old Testament, that is referring to the ultimate aspect, or the highest parts of the Tree of Life, which truly have no image. There is no image that can represent The Absolute. Yet, God enters into form, and form has an image. So you have to understand it in context with the Tree of Life. You cannot make an image of the Absolute, but you can make an image of an aspect of God, or an embodiment, or manifestation of God. So in the same way, we may have an idea, or a mental picture of what God is, but God is not limited to that. Someone from India, or who is a practitioner of Hinduism, pictures God as Shiva, and worships that image and that understanding. But that is not all God is. Someone in Christianity worships God as Jesus, and truly, God entered into that vehicle, but that is not all that God is.
In the same way, within ourselves, we begin to approach God and we use images, but we have to always remember God is more than that. The image is a vehicle. The image is a doorway. The same thing in Tantric Buddhism: they use visualization and imagery as doorways to access different parts of the consciousness. So the Tantric Buddhists learn to visualize and imagine a deity, and the practitioner imagines themselves becoming one with that deity. And then learns to imagine seeing through the eyes of that deity as if they were that deity. And this becomes a way of seeing the ego for what it is: nothing. But none of that means that we have made an image of God to worship that image; it is a vehicle towards understanding. Self-remembering is really the same. We have to use it as a step towards understanding.
