TEN COMMANDMENTS OF ADAM / THOR / INDRA

6. Ten Commandments of Adam / Thor / Indra :

The Ten Commandments mentioned in other religions are copied from Sumerian Aryans. The actual Ten Commandments are of Adam / Thor / Indra which he gave to Eve.

From the Book The British Edda 1930 Part 2 :

The Ten Commandments of Adam-Thor on the Duty of Love :

King Thor or Mioth (Sumerian Mit or Mitara) as Mithra

From ancient statue discovered near Tiber, "possibly imported from the Orient." (After Cumont, Mons., 45). The restored right hand with apple is considered unauthentic.

These Ten Commandments of Adam-Thor are called "Hug Runes." Hug literally means "affection, love, good heart," with the idea of "hugging" in friendship and love; and it is also defined as "sincerity and courage." And these commandments or maxims are interpreted as religious rules of Righteousness, Love and Duty. We have seen that Adam-Thor's first message on his advent was the message of Brotherly Love, and these commandments or counsels are expansions of that message. It is stated that the saying or repeating of them, or even the hearing of them in silence committed the sayer or hearer to their observance. They thus seem, along with Thor's Baptism by Water (a rite wholly unknown to the Hebrews in the Old Testament and essentially of the Gentile religion of the Sun-Cross) to have formed part of the initiation into King AdamThor's new ethical religion of the Cross. An eleventh is added in the MSS., but it is essentially the same as the tenth and is obviously an addition of later bards.

The text is here translated literally, as far as possible, for the first time. Eve, who recites the verses to her son Gunn or Cain, thus speaks :

Eve quoths : Hug Runes should'st thou know if thou would'st be Gooder than the swains of common men.

Now shalt thou choose whether I be silent, or bid me These whetted (moral) weapons launch at thee!

Saying these, or hearing them in silence, handcuffs thyself to Hug. All are from the mind of Meti (Mioth, Mithra, Adam).

Gunn : Flinch not will I, e'en tho' I knew I was deathfated :

I was not born a coward blade. Thy loving counsels all will I (cherished) keep, So long as I shall live.

Eve :

This I counsel thee Firstly :

That thou with thy friends Blameless be;
E'en tho' they heave sides against thee, scathe not in gore.
That will duly speak (for thee) when thou art dead.

This I counsel thee Another :

That thou swear no oath
Unless thou know'st it to be true.
Grim limb'd goes the tricky ruffian,
A harmful wretch is the pledge-breaker.

This I counsel thee Thirdly :

That thou in the Thing court
Deal not hardly against (witless) homeless helots.
For a witless mouth may let out words
Worse than it wots of.

Not all (confessions) are wanted. If thou against him 'tush',
He'll think thee midst the coward blades born,

Or, soon for settling it himself will say :

'Hated are the words of a homeless people, Only the Goths get Justice!'
Then another day forth he'll fare
And launch himself against the (fancied) lissom liar.

This I counsel thee Fourthly :

If a byre (Edenite) fortune-teller Blameful be in the way,
Going on beyond is better than staying there,
E'en tho' night o'ertake thee.

Foresighted eyes are needed for our sons,
Where skulking wolf-wretches are in the way.

Oft where a baleful visaged woman stands near the beat (-en track)
There's a sword deaver (Edenite) in the sedges.

This I counsel thee Fifthly :

When thou see'st fair
Unwedded ' brides' (Edenite) on the benches, and
Silvery-tongued, let them not rid thee of sleep,
Touch not the women nor kiss them.

This I counsel thee Sixthly :

Tho' high words fareforth
At Ale-banquet meets, still never
Deal scarlet drunk men with the doleful wood (sword).
Much wine steals the wits.
Jibing sayings over ale have hustl'd
Men to moody grievous wrath,
Some to baneful death, some to baleful staves :
Manifold are the griefs to their farers.

This I counsel thee Seventhly :

If thou hast a scathedeal
With huggable men or helots,
'Tis better to brawl and burn outside,
Than inside with odious (word-) staves.

This I counsel thee Eighthly :

That thou shalt see no ill,
And forego false speech.
Touch not a maid nor another man's wife,
Nor egg them on to shame.

This I counsel thee Ninthly :

That thou an outcast save
Where'er thou findest one outside a fold.
Where there's a sick-dead or sea-dead,
Or weapon-dead man,
Thou shalt lave and garb him, and lay him
Kempt and dried, ere in the kist he fares,
And bid him sweetly sleep.

This I counsel thee Tenthly :

That thou ne'er trust
Pledged words O' a Wolf-triber a drop,
Where thou hast baned his brother,
Or hast fell'd his father.

The Wolf remains in the young son,
Tho' he may have been gladden'd with gold.
Scat hes and hates think not of even in sleep,
Nor hold them in thy arms.

But wits and weapons everyone wants to fetch
When they fare forth midst foreign people.

The current popular belief that "The Commandments" are "The Word of God" and were personally delivered by the latter to man, engraved on tables of stone is seen to be long to the later priestly periods of the Babyloniana, when King Thor had become deified as the Father God, and his human origin had become more or less completely forgotten.

And similarly the belief that God formerly held converse with men and especially with priests and "prophets" is seen to be obviously founded partly on the superstitions of the oracular matriarchist-weirds of Fate as "Hearers of the Voice" and partly on a glimmering of the genuine tradition that the human original of the Father God, under his titles of lah, Jah, Ju-piter, Zeus, Indara, Thor, or Odin, formerly held converse with man, but forgetful of the fact that this converse occurred at the period when be was still a human king and before his deification].
