STEP 11 I AM NOT APART FROM LIFE.

REGARDLESS OF THE GREAT ESTABLISHMENTS built upon your individuality and all that is associated with you personally—your body, your ideas, your difficulties, your specific forms of expression, your idiosyncrasies, your talents— you are not apart from life. This is so obvious if you look at yourself with simplicity and realize that the very makeup of your body, the very fabric of your physical life, is completely made of what life is in the physical. It is quite apparent that you are made of the same “stuff” as everything else around you. What is mysterious is your mind. It seems to be a distinct point of understanding, but it is as much a part of life as your physical fabric. You are an individual unaware of your Source and your total inclusion in life. Your individuality is a burden now, but it will be a great happiness to you when it can express life itself.

无论围绕你的个体性及所有与你个人相关的事物——你的身体、你的想法、你的困难、你独特的表达形式、你的特质、你的才能——建立了多么伟大的体系，你都不与生命分离。如果你简单地看待你自己，你就会意识到你身体的构造、你物质生命的基本结构，完全是由生命的物质构成的，这一点是显而易见的。这显然表明你和你周围的一切是由相同的“材料”构成的。神秘的是你的心灵。它似乎是一个独特的理解点，但它与你的物质结构一样是生命的一部分。你作为一个个体并没有察觉到你的源头以及你在生命中的整体归属。你的个体性现在是一种负担，但当它能够表达生命本身时，它将给你带来一种伟大的幸福。
