The TRUE two edicts for everlasting life delivered by Jesus and in an open crowd (which is where you can consider this to be truth because it was witnessed by many) is to:
Love God
and
Love Thy Neighbor
(in the book of Luke)
and this encompasses everything. Where the Ten Commandments are all thou shall NOT do this and thou shall NOT do that, the above two edicts are DO this and DO that thus the evidence of polarity.
It's Occam's Razor at its finest.
Happy God Hunting! He is here!

The Law is that "ye shall reap as ye sow"..
The Ten Commandments are/were a succinct summarization of this principle, as are the "two laws" enunciated by Jesus.
The number Ten was chosen for the commandments because Ten is the Number of (Divine) Law.
Ten is a composite number: being 2 times 5.
Two is the number of duality, or separation from God, or the immersion of the Spirit into matter.
Five is the number of grace, or reunion w/ God, or the ascent of Spirit out of the tomb of matter (also symbolized by the 5-pointed star pentacle, pointed upright).
This cycle (the periodic immersion of Spirit into matter, and its consequent liberation) is the great karmic cycle of the Cosmos, and it is the LAW (God's Law). Hence 2*5 = 10 is the Number of the Law.
