    You question implies that God is a negative deity, therefore it would follow that His 10 commandments are negative too.

    So if God were to be a a positive deity, according to your theory- His 10 commandments would have to be opposite of what they are now too. Right? Therefore, these would be the new 10 commandments, the DO's instead of the DO NOT's:

    1. You shall have any other gods before me.

    2. Do make for yourselves graven images.

    3. Do take the name of your god in vain.

    4. Do forget the Sabbath day, keep it unholy.

    5. Do dishonor your father and mother.

    6. You shall murder.

    7. You shall commit adultery.

    8. You shall steal.

    9. You shall bear false witness against your neighbor.

    10. You shall covet your neighbors wife and possesions.

    Like these better? Or did you want to do away with any god at all and let everyone pick their own commandments, or DO's, and have no DO NOT's at all? Personally, I wouldn't want to live in that world.

    The niyamas from Yoga are to be contented, disciplined, studious, devoted and pure (which technically is a way of saying "observe the yamas" which are the negatives - don't steal, don't lie, don't be greedy, etc).
