The Future of Sunlight Sensitivity

Okay so here’s something to chew on. I’ve heard through the grapevine that the next big update to D&D is going to have another monumental change to the drow: if what I’ve heard is true, not only will they continue to be a largely non-evil race outside the Cult of Lolth…their sunlight sensitivity is going away.

This may or may not be true, but let’s imagine that in an Exandrian context for a moment.

The Kryn have one of their holy days where they draw back the veil over Rosohna and bathe in the burning, blinding light of the sun. The appointed time comes. They blink and squint, wincing in anticipation, putting on brave faces for their faith, and the light comes, and it stings at first, but then…

They can see. They can see.

Someone cries out, astonished, “It doesn’t hurt! Open your eyes, it doesn’t hurt!”

The Kryn collectively sob. This is surely the greatest blessing the Luxon has imparted on them since leading them out of the Underdark. Their faith has been rewarded. They can walk in the light of day and not do so blind.

(All the other races in Rosohna are fucking flabbergasted. The non-drow believers join in the wonderment at this blessing. Here and there, a few wonder what blessing the Luxon might give their people next, and—though no one would dare breathe a word of it—some are envious, wondering why it wasn’t them. Were they not faithful, too?)

The Bright Queen issues a decree that the veil of night will be slowly phased out. They start with an hour at dawn. Slowly, slowly, over time—because, even though they’re not blind in sunlight anymore, the drow are still not used to it, nor is almost anyone else in Rosohna, and they have crops to think about—the darkness over Rosohna recedes, until a year or five down the line they have day and night like any other place.

(Many farmers are very happy about this. Many others, whose produce is no longer in hot demand and who haven’t been able to pivot to sunlight crops, are not.)

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away in the tall-fenced back yard of a Rexxentrum cottage, a drow comes out of trance late with his husband wrapped around him. He realizes in a panic that it’s past dawn. He scrambles for his dark-lensed glasses—his parasol—anything—but…it doesn’t hurt. It’s an hour past sun-up and the light doesn’t hurt. He can see. He stares around, trying to make sense of the explosion of colors he’s never really seen before. Tears fall from his wide, wide, unhurting eyes.

“Caleb,” he says, shaking his husband urgently. “Caleb wake up.”

Caleb mrrphs and snorts awake, blinking, bleary. “What’s wrong?” he asks muzzily, and then he too, goes wide-eyed. “Scheiße, it’s seven in the morning, we need to get you inside—”

“It doesn’t hurt,” Essek says, stunned, unknowingly echoing his kinsmen.

“What?”

“It doesn’t hurt,” he says again, and turns his tear-glittered eyes on Caleb now. Dear gods. The morning light shines bright on the copper and platinum of his hair and lights up his summer-day eyes. He’s beautiful. To think, all this time, Essek never knew how beautiful this man could be in the light. “Caleb. I can see.”

Caleb sits up. Confusion, realization, and concern all vie for dominance on his face. “What does it mean?”

And Essek, who’s never had faith a day in his life for anything but his own prowess, the Mighty Nein, and one Caleb Widogast, wonders. He wonders things that are blasphemous to his own heresy. But what he says is, “I don’t know.”

JUJUTSU KAISEN, CHAPTER 216 THOUGHTS.

Chapter 216: Bath reveals to us what exactly the “Bath” is and how Sukuna plans to use it to drag Megumi down further into the murky depths of his own conscious. This scene is soaked in Jungian symbolism, as Megumi’s control over the body (his consciousness) is superseded by Sukuna who take complete control of him. Sukuna and Megumi fighting over control of their own body greatly resembles Jung’s idea of the “Persona” and the “Shadow”, and is highly symbolic of Megumi’s personal arc as well. Which I will now detail under the cut.

1. Still Waters Run Deep

For a brief overview of Jung’s ideas, both Jung and Freud theorized the psyche (consciousness) was made up of three components. Freud’s iceberg theory of the unconscious likened the mind to an iceberg, as the most important part of the mind is what you cannot see.

Similiar to Freud, Jung divided the mind into three areas. While Freud named these unconscious, preconscious, and conscious, Jung divided the ego, the personal unconscious, and the collective unconscious.

Briefly, the Persona is the topmost layer of the psyche presented to the world

“A kind of mask, designed on one hand to make a definite impression on others, and on the other to conceal the true nature of the individual. (Jung, Two essays on Analytical Psychology).

WHhhle the persona is what one thinks as well as others think one is” the shadow is

“that hidden, repressed, for the most part inferior and guilt-kladen personality whos’s untimate ramification reach back into the realm of our animal acestors. (Collected works of C.G. Jung Volume 9)

Finally, the Collective unconscious the deepest layer of the mind sometimes referred to as the “objective psyche”, refers to the idea that a segment of the deepest unconscious mind is genetically inherited and common to all human beings. The collective unconscious is made up of knowledge, instincts, and imagery that every human is born with.

He posited because of this collective unconscious, there are recurring motifs and symbols he termed “archetypes” which appear in mythologies from different cultures around the world. This was his reason why two cultures who never had any contact with each other, could have myths with similiar stories. One of his greatest examples of this was the “flood myth” which recurs in many cultures, such as the biblical account and the flood in the epic of Gilgamesh.

This is where I tie it back to Jujutsu Kaisen and Sukuna’s “bath” because for Jung, water was the most common symbol of the unconscious.

“THe lake in the valley is the unconscious, which lies, as it were, underneath the consciousness, so that it is often referred to as the “subconscious”, usually with the perjorative connotation of an inferior consciousness.

Water is the “valley spirit”, the water dragon of Tao, whose nature resebles wayer - a yang embraced in the yin.

Psychologically, therefore, water means spirit that has become unconscious.

So the dream of the theologian is quite right in telling him that down by the water, he could experience the working of the living spirit like amiracle of healing in the pool of Bethesda.

The descent into the depths always seems to preced the ascent (Collected works of C.G. Jung Volume 9)

Above Jung references collective mythologies from different cultures to make his point, Taoism, the concept of Yin and Yang, and the pool of Bethesda from the New Testament where Jesus miraculously healed a paralyzed man. Rather than describe it as an inferior consciousness he likens it to the other half of the mind, the yang to the higher mind’s yin.

Obviously, Jujutsu Kaisen is making use of water symbolism as well, Sukuna is soaking Megumi to push him down deeper in his mind. This chapter is literally showing us Megumi’s “Descent into the depths.”

Shadows, and Water have always been a recurring symbolism for Megumi, though. Beginning with early on, Sukuna suggests to Megumi the real strength of the “Ten Shadows” technique is not the Shikigami he summons but the fact he uses his shadows as a medium.

It becomes apparent early on Megumi has what is easily the greatest technique in his clan, and yet he doesn’t utilize it properly nor does he realize its full potential. Megumi’s strength comes from his shadows, but Megumi does not even seem to be aware of his full potential.

When Gojo suggests that a Zen’in Clan Ten Shadows user defeated a Six-Eyes user in the past Megumi denies the fact he could ever be stronger than Gojo. When Megumi remembers Gojo’s lecture on how quick he is to give up and sacrifice himself in a fight, rather than “swinging for the fences” look what his newly formed domain expansion resembles.

His domain expansion “brings forth the deepest shadows” and when he uses it, it looks and moves like water. Megumi’s greatest power comes in utilizing his shadow, and yet paradoxically he is Megumi is a highly repressed individual character who always ignores and looks away from his shadow.

"Still waters run deep” is a phrase often used to describe the Jungian Shadow. Megumi is so much more than what he appears on the surface, you step forward in the water expecting it to be shallow and then you sink down into an ocean. This is because Megumi’s most common tactic is to suppress and hide his true feelings about things in any kind of stressful situation rather than dealing with him.

However, his eyes that were as deep as the night that peeped out from the bottom of a deep ditch became even more lifeless.

Fushiguro tried once more to switch off his self-awareness.

Numbness was the safety feature of life. If he did not think of a way to protect his spirit, it would not be strange if a curse was born.

In a wy, what Sukuna is doing right now is an extreme form of what Megumi always does. Megumi feels very helpless and out of control of his own life. His parents abandoned him. He didn’t want to be a sorcerer but was forced into it by a situation out of his control. When he did decide to become a sorcerer to stop Tsumiki from going to the Zen’in, he couldn’t protect her and Tsumiki was attacked by a curse despite Megumi being someone whose job it is to exorcise curses he was completely useless in that scenario.

Part of the reason Megumi was tricked so easily into losing possession of his body to Sukuna, is because Megumi has so little regard for his health and well-being. Yuji warned him multiple times that Sukuna was planning something for him, but Megumi didn’t even think about the danger to himself if he kept Yuji close. Megumi is someone who actively refuses to take control of his own life, and therefore, Sukuna takes it away from him.

However, Sukuna’s attempts to take control of Megumi’s body may not have completely succeeded. Just like there is no yin without the yang, there is no persona without the shadow. A person’s mind isn’t one or the other, it’s both.

The shadow isn’t the “true self” it’s merely the hidden self. Persona matters in identity too. As Kurt Vonnegut said, “We are what we pretend to be.”

Sukuna immediately decides to target and kill Tsumiki’s body, because the bath did not work in completely submerging Megumi’s soul.

As stated above, the descent into the depths always seems to precede the ascent.

It’s revealed the same chapter that Megumi’s body was taken over, that Megumi always had the potential to be a vessel just like Yuji did, which is why Sukuna needed to break his mind first before he tried to take control because there was always a possibility that Megumi could take his body back and seal Sukuna within rather than giving up control.

The descent into the depths always seems to precede the ascent, in a way this is what Megumi needs to do. It’s always what he’s needed. He needs to plumb the depths of his shadows, and then crawl out of those murky depths and back to the surface. Megumi needs to self-actualize and self-reflect as a human being rather than trying to keep everything in the dark because that’s the first step to taking control of his own life. Fighting back for control of his own body, is just Megumi facing his inner demons because he is literally fighting his inner demons in the form of Sukuna.

To further tie in this idea let me quote @theanimepsychologist

Also I know I sound like a broken record but Jacob’s Ladder is a HELL of a rabbit hole. It’s not just Urizen, it’s the implication of Jacob going through hell and then going up the ladder. Makes me wonder if Megumi will follow that since some of the current symbolism is totally about going into the unconscious where he’s having to face evil (Sukuna, the bath).

Remember, Jacob’s ladder is the technique that Hana / Angel tried to use to exorcise / reach Megumi and it seemed to be working until Sukuna tricked her.

If Sukuna manages to kill Yorozu / Tsumiki and that is a big if, I believe even Megumi can come back from that. Because Megumi has always tried living for the sake of others, doing things for Tsumiki or Yuji’s sake, when what he really needs to do is live for his own sake.

2. The Collective Unconscious

So, the Jungian symbolism associated with Sukuna baffled me for a long time. Originally, I thought Sukuna was supposed to be Yuji’s shadow because he lives deep within Yuji, he resembles him almost exactly (even Sukuna’s true four-armed form resembles him) he can take control of his body when Yuji’s willpower and consciousness wanes. However, when he switched bodies with Megumi in a way none of us saw coming that seemed to disprove that idea.

Then, was he supposed to be Megumi’s shadow all along? In the same way, Sukuna was only ever interested in Megumi and was always planning to take Megumi’s body from him, does that mean he was meant to reflect Megumi’s suppressed side?

However, after thinking about it I’ve come to a different conclusion. He’s not the shadow for Yuji, or Megumi, he’s both of their shadows. Rather, he represents the third part of the psyche buried deep within us, the collective unconscious.

The collective unconscious is shared by all of humanity, populated by instincts we are born with and contains the symbols that occur throughout all of mythology. Similarly, Sukuna himself is not only “Ryomen Sukuna” someone who is regarded as a myth in the story itself but turns out to be a real person. He’s also “the disgraced one” the enemy of “angel” a character who is clearly drawing from Jewish and Christian mythology. (The Jacob’s Ladder is from the Torah, whereas jewish and christian mythologies have wildly different ideas of satan, and “disgraced one” seems to have a resemblance to Milton’s depiction of Lucifer).

Which means Sukuna as a character draws symbols from both eastern and western mythologies. This is where Jung’s ideas also differ from Freud, he believed that people have a “collective unconscious” which influences them rather than just a “personal unconscious.”

Not only is Sukuna a sorcerer, he is “The Greatest Sorcerer”, he’s “The Honored One” (throw Buddhism into the mix with the polytheistic legend of who Ryomen Sukuna was). Sukuna was the peak of sorcery in the Heian era, and also the sorcerer all other sorcerers are compared to. A lot of the sorcerers of the past like Yorozu and Hajime agreed to the culling game, just for the chance of fighting Sukuna. Yuji even says “I almost forgot these guys are and will always be curses.”

Curses come from the collective pent up negative feelings of humanity, they are human emotions given physical form, they are born from the collective unconscious and Sukuna is the truest example of a curse there is. He is also an advocate for people living as selfishly as possible. He is pure instinct. He has a giant mouth on his stomach. The one and only servant he tolerates is a chef who is good at cooking them food. He’s a walking appetite who consumes everything including human flesh. His technique is based on cooking. His inner domain is on top of a massive stretch of water.

Sukuna isn’t just a product fo the ocean of the collective unconscious, he is the ocean.

My good friend @theanimepsychologist, the Jung to my Freud (this is a joke I don’t believe in Freud’s theories) also pointed out to me that

Psychologist: But at the same time it sort of fits with my own suspicions that sukuna is mara. he has his own agency but he exploits and corrupts because of the character's inner evil. we shall see Spooky: What is Mara exactly?? Psychologist: Mara = Satan. something about Buddha sitting under the boddhi tree and when he's about to reach enlightenment, Mara is like "hey what's up dude, but you could have all of these amazing hedonistic pleasures if you hang out with me"

Sukuna is someone who encourages every character to turn their back on enlightenment and live more hedonistically like he does, he scolds Jogo for relying on others instead of just focusing on getting stronger by himself, he quite literally takes control of Yuji and Megumi’s bodies to do evil things (slaughtering people in Shibuya, and now his attempts to kill Tusmiki) and makes them feel physically guilty for allowing him to take their bodies.

The whole purpose of the bath is to be near evil.

So, there you go my idea of what Sukuna is in Jungian Terms. He’s not the shadow of Megumi or Yuji, but the collective shadow of every sorcerer. By being the ideal of sorcerers. He’s not just based on the myth of Ryomen Sukuna, he’s a recurring myth in several different mythologies. He’s not human, he doesn’t want to be human, he’s like a living calamity, the truest curse there is.

A Breakup letter to a comfort show

So i guess this might be it for me,

To summarise my history with RWBY. I watched the first 2 or so seasons on-or-around launch i think. Enjoyed the fights, was indiferent to a lot of the characters tbh (Yang and Blake didnt really grab me, like i didnt "dislike" them, i was just largely indiferent. Weiss meanwhile was just infuriating with the blatant racism and entitlement issues. Like i knew they were going to make her grow as a character, but also i just couldnt stand her.) There were 5 characters i really enjoyed. -Nora -Pyrrha -Jaune -Penny. -and last but not least, Ruby I basically came into this series for the fun powers, interesting weapons, great fight-choreography and light humerous tone. It became my comfortshow during a quite stressfull time in my life. The early seasons were kitchy, but in a fun way. Then the tournament arc ended with 2/5 dead, one of which in a horrifically graphic manner and I decided i needed a minor break for my mental health. Couple of years later, Picked up where i left off and I fell out at the "weiss gets impaled through the heart" episode. Which to me really cemented the whole "the villains will just always win, the heroes might sometimes almost not lose"-tone for me. A tone that got me down into “I dont care who wins, as long as the suffering ends”-mode, and triggered my ideation issues badly. That as well as Salem's reveal doing the whole "female victim of tragedy holds authorities accountable for the injustice faced-> Inevitably gets turned into an inhuman monster that must be killed for the benefit of civilisation as a whole because women speaking up about their place in the world=bad" trope that i just absolutely despise. (it's one of my 3 most loathed tropes) So i drop out again. Swearing not to return unless the show got out of deconstruction-city and into “There Is Still Hope”-opolis. When the current season started airing, word on the wind came to me that the show had gotten past the dark story-arc now, the darkest hour had passed and the show is going to go into the rebuilding arc/reconstruction arc/the third act. So I decide to give it a shot again, not enough to buy a crunchyroll subscription (to prevent sunk-cost fallacy forcing my hand in an emergency) but enough to grab out binoculars and look at the fandom from what felt like a safe distance. Current status of my 5 comfort characters that made the show comfortable for me: -I dont know her status. Presumeably alive? -Probably Still Dead (theorised by some to be amnesiac as statue-woman, which isnt that much better imo,) -Old, will probably consign himself to a painful-firey death before the season is over for reasons of name and season Intro. -Died twice, second time less graphic but more gruesome then the first. (possibly dead thrice if the little theories are true) -Tortured into committing Suicide on screen. I guess it was nice getting to see 4/5 in one episode again before the end, but i am starting to struggle to believe a “safe distance” even exists for me anymore, I think that, unless the last 2 episodes perform amiracle somehow, it'd probably be best for me to block all the tags and never look back. I'll miss my old comfort show, but i guess it might finally be time to say goodbye.

#rwby volume 9 #rwby #rwby spoiler tag #rwby speculation #rwby spoilers #rwby v9 #rwby vol 9 #rwby vol9 #rwby 9 spoilers #Rwby V9 Spoilers #Rwby vol 9 spoilers #I think that should be all permutations of the tags?#Suicide mention #Suicidal ideation #Mental health #Suicide #TW suicide #TW suicidal Ideation #Might be overtagging but at least im better then RT/Crunchyroll

C.H. Spurgeon - All of Grace

Depend upon it, the Lord only does that which is needful.Infinite wisdom never attempts that which is unnecessary.Jesus never undertakes that which is superfluous. To makehim just who is just is no work for God – that were a labor fora fool; but to make him just who is unjust – that is work forinfinite love and mercy. To justify the ungodly – this is amiracle worthy of a God. And for certain it…

2 Nephi Chapter 10. "The Practicing Jew."

Jacob explains that the Jews will crucify their God—They will be scattered until they begin to believe in Him—America will be a land of liberty where no king will rule—Reconcile yourselves to God and gain salvation through His grace. About 559–545 B.C.

1 And now I, Jacob, speak unto you again, my beloved brethren, concerning this righteous abranch of which I have spoken.

2 For behold, the apromises which we have obtained are promises unto us according to the flesh; wherefore, as it has been shown unto me that many of our children shall perish in the flesh because of bunbelief, nevertheless, God will be merciful unto many; and our children shall be crestored, that they may come to that which will give them the true knowledge of their Redeemer.

3 Wherefore, as I said unto you, it must needs be expedient that Christ—for in the last night the aangel spake unto me that this should be his name—should bcome among the cJews, among those who are the more wicked part of the world; and they shall dcrucify him—for thus it behooveth our God, and there is none other nation on earth that would ecrucify their fGod.

4 For should the mighty amiracles be wrought among other nations they would repent, and know that he be their God.

5 But because of apriestcrafts and iniquities, they at Jerusalem will bstiffen their necks against him, that he be ccrucified.

Priestcraft= Leprosy, the "crucifixion" mentioned in the rubric:

Tzaraat (commonly translated as “leprosy”) was a supra-natural bodily affliction. Our sages say that it was contracted from speaking lashon hara, gossip. The metzora (as the one who contracted tzaraat is called) would remain isolated outside the encampment until he was restored to health. The Torah talks at length about the metzora’s healing process. A priest would travel to the metzora and dip cedar wood, scarlet thread and a hyssop plant into a mixture of bird’s blood and spring water, and sprinkle it on the metzora seven times. Seven days later, the metzora would shave his hair and immerse in a mikvah (ritual pool) to culminate his healing.

This is how the Torah describes the meeting between the metzora and the priest:

This shall be the law of the metzora on the day of his cleansing: he shall be brought to the priest. The priest shall go out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and see if the plague of tzaraat has been healed ... (Leviticus 14:2)

The Torah’s instructions seem to be conflicting. Initially we read that “he [the metzora] shall be brought to the priest,” and then, in the next verse, “the priest shall go out of the camp.” Does the metzora go to meet the priest, or does the priest come to him?1

We can see an organic reconciliation between the conflicting instructions when we view the metzora through the lens of Kabbalah. Mystically, the metzora is the persona of an individual who doesn’t see the unifying thread of divinity running through his life. That’s why he’s insensitive to the social discord he creates through his gossip. When we gossip, we create an energetic rift—between my impulsive tongue and your sacred privacy, and ultimately, a schism between spiritual and practical existence. Maimonides goes as far as to say that one who speaks lashon hara will come to speak words of heresy against G‑d.

6 Wherefore, because of their iniquities, destructions, famines, apestilences, and bloodshed shall come upon them; and they who shall not be destroyed shall be bscattered among all nations.

7 But behold, thus saith the aLord God: bWhen the day cometh that they shall believe in me, that I am Christ, then have I covenanted with their fathers that they shall be crestored in the flesh, upon the earth, unto the dlands of their inheritance.

8 And it shall come to pass that they shall be agathered in from their long dispersion, from the bisles of the sea, and from the four parts of the earth; and the nations of the Gentiles shall be great in the eyes of me, saith God, in ccarrying them forth to the lands of their inheritance.

Gentiles "Carving Of The Nations, Silence Of The Gentiles" disperse the nations, Jews are gatherers.

The Book of Mormon says practicing Jews are needed if the Nations ever hope to be great in the Eyes of God. This is the Root Cause of this Midrash called the Book of Mormon to explain the importance of the Practicing Jew, who is radically decentralized within the human population, as the mechanism of unity and gathering called Mashaich.

9 aYea, the kings of the Gentiles shall be nursing fathers unto them, and their queens shall become nursing mothers; wherefore, the bpromises of the Lord are great unto the Gentiles, for he hath spoken it, and who can dispute?

10 But behold, this land, said God, shall be a land of thine inheritance, and the aGentiles shall be blessed upon the land.

11 And this land shall be a land of aliberty unto the Gentiles, and there shall be no bkings upon the land, who shall raise up unto the Gentiles.

12 And I will fortify this land aagainst all other nations.

13 And he that afighteth against Zion shall bperish, saith God.

14 For he that raiseth up a aking against me shall perish, for I, the Lord, the bking of heaven, will be their king, and I will be a clight unto them forever, that hear my words.

15 Wherefore, for this cause, that my acovenants may be fulfilled which I have made unto the children of men, that I will do unto them while they are in the flesh, I must needs destroy the bsecret works of cdarkness, and of murders, and of abominations.

16 Wherefore, he that afighteth against bZion, both Jew and Gentile, both bond and free, both male and female, cshall perish; for dthey are they who are the ewhore of all the earth; for fthey who are gnot for me are hagainst me, saith our God.

17 For I will afulfil my bpromises which I have made unto the children of men, that I will do unto them while they are in the flesh—

18 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, thus saith our God: I will afflict thy seed by the hand of the Gentiles; nevertheless, I will asoften the hearts of the bGentiles, that they shall be like unto a father to them; wherefore, the Gentiles shall be cblessed and dnumbered among the house of Israel.

19 Wherefore, I will aconsecrate this land unto thy seed, and them who shall be numbered among thy seed, forever, for the land of their inheritance; for it is a choice land, saith God unto me, above all other lands, wherefore I will have all men that dwell thereon that they shall worship me, saith God.

20 And now, my beloved brethren, seeing that our merciful God has given us so great knowledge concerning these things, let us remember him, and lay aside our sins, and not hang down our heads, for we are not cast off; nevertheless, we have been adriven out of the land of our inheritance; but we have been led to a bbetter land, for the Lord has made the sea our cpath, and we are upon an disle of the sea.

21 But great are the promises of the Lord unto them who are upon the aisles of the sea; wherefore as it says isles, there must needs be more than this, and they are inhabited also by our brethren.

=Islands are practicing Jews.

22 For behold, the Lord God has aled away from time to time from the house of Israel, according to his will and pleasure. And now behold, the Lord remembereth all them who have been broken off, wherefore he remembereth us also.

23 Therefore, acheer up your hearts, and remember that ye are bfree to cact for yourselves—to dchoose the way of everlasting death or the way of eternal life.

24 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, areconcile yourselves to the bwill of God, and not to the will of the devil and the flesh; and remember, after ye are reconciled unto God, that it is only in and through the cgrace of God that ye are dsaved.

25 Wherefore, may God araise you from death by the power of the resurrection, and also from everlasting death by the power of the batonement, that ye may be received into the ceternal kingdom of God, that ye may praise him through grace divine. Amen.

There is, always has been and always will be just the God of Israel. He is the Christ, the King and the Kingdom itself and there are no others of any other kind.

The 9 Plagues referred to above, synonymous with different types of propaganda.

The Ten Decrees vs. The Ten Plagues.

The Ten Decrees have polar opposites called Ephahs, or "Plagues." They are:

I am the Lord Your God. You are a man. I am forever, you are ephemeral. I make all things, you make each other.

During the Plague of Blood when Aaron dips his staff into the Nile, the River of Life, it turns to blood. Men make water into blood, blech, and can create other human beings, but only God is the maker of all things.

2. You shall not make idols vs. the Plague of Frogs:

Frogs hide, then they stick their tongues out and snatch prey. They are vicious creatures, too. Frogs represent gossip, false counsel, lies, propaganda. Frogs are very bad news. They are also loud and cause the stank.

FROGS call attention to themselves, especially at night. They are distractions from the voice of God.

3. You shall not take the Name of the Lord in Vain vs. the Plague of Gnats.

Plague of Gnats= as if gossips aren’t bad enough, the corrupt come along and parasitize society. They make a name for themselves, don't they?

4. Remember the Sabbath Day vs. the Plague of Flies.

The Sabbath, Shabbat renews our interest in being educated, productive, peaceful, grateful, and glad. It gives us reasons to look forward and to start again.

Plague of Flies= waste, abuse, corruption, impropriety eventually these reach the farm and the arbor and society starves. Then, it starves for talent, for abundance, for freedom, for peace of mind.

5. Honor your father and mother vs. Plague on the Livestock.

Our parents provide us, and so do other parents of other children. Locusts are adults and their offspring that detract from our quality of life, consuming their graces, complaining and pining, leaving little else to remember behind.

Bad parents are a plague on livestock, their little ratbrats ruin the fun and development of the rest.

One locust here or there isn’t too much too worry about. Ten, twenty, thirty, are going to get your attention, but when they block the sun and eat everything, are unstoppable it is too late.

The Locusts represent the stark absence of the Qualities of the People of Israel in the land of Egypt. Their polar opposites- they destroyed everything. The Wind is always the Law. Every faith has a Wind God that clears the sky, chases away the rain, parts the sea and gives us a fresh start.

6. You shall not murder vs. The Plague of Boils.

God told Moses and Aaron to take the ashes from the furnace and hurl them at Pharaoh and his magicians and priests. They resulted in boils and sores across Egypt, in men and in beasts.

We are looking closely at the internal landscape of these symbols and how their illustrative processes bind us to self, to God and to the rest of the created and phenomenal world.

Understanding of cause and effect, of how sin and its flawed rationales lead to ruin burns all of its root causes to ash. It exhausts them like ash is the exhaust of fuel. Pharaoh is the lazy, guilty, selfishly end driven slave master that uses all kinds of tricks, magic spells, and brutality if needed to achieve his ends. Boils result when this understanding starts to singe the deeper ignorances that allowed Pharaoh and his beast boys to take over the inner and sadly, often the outer worlds also.

7. Do not commit adultery vs. the Plague of Hail.

And G‑d rained hail upon the land of Egypt. And there was hail, and fire burning within the hail... (Exodus 9:23-24)

A plague of fire and ice =a plague by a cold individual who is also aflame—fired with self-love, ablaze with egotistical passions. Indeed, it is his excess of inner heat that is the cause of his icy exterior.

8. Do not steal vs. the Plague of Locusts.

Locusts symbolize the emptiness results when we neglect duty. Things don’t get done, the work that is performed is insufficient or shoddy, supplies dry up, the ability to obtain more goes away.

One locust here or there isn’t too much too worry about. Ten, twenty, thirty, are going to get your attention, but when they block the sun and eat everything, are unstoppable it is too late.

Unless you say “Tomorrow, I will do it".

9. You shall not lust after your neighbor's wife vs. The Plague of Darkness.

The Plague of Darkness, the 9th Plague corresponds to the 9th Commandment, do not lust after your neighbor's wife. Remember the people of Israel were enslaved after the Pharaoh, the Confederate and his people became jealous of them and enslaved them.

10. Do not covet vs. the Death of the Firstborn, invokes the death of the First Born, which on the Israelite side is Reuben, the Leader, "leads others" vs. Rameses, "ram= exalted, ish=man", "worships self."

These are the reason the Book of Mormon says the God of Israel has been crucified by His own flock- no one has been spared.

The very idea a God incarnate can be the King of Murder is as repugnant as the verse says. All apostasy regarding this has to be expunged:

Be this as it may, even after all the secret combinations between the government, religion, the public and industry are gone, the chapter says we need the Jew to practice his statecraft out in the open if the promises God made to every ancestor on this planet about peace on earth and goodwill between us is to come to pass.
