STEP 3 WHAT DO I REALLY KNOW?

TODAY ASK YOURSELF WHAT YOU REALLY KNOW and distinguish what you know from what you think or hope for or want for yourself or your world, what you are afraid of, what you believe in, what you cherish and what you value. Distinguish this question from all such orientations to the very best of your ability and ask yourself, “What do I really know?” You must continuously examine whatever answers you give to this question to see if they represent your beliefs or assumptions or the beliefs or assumptions of other people or perhaps even of humanity at large.

今天问你自己,你真正知道什么,并将你所知道的与你所认为、希望、害怕、相信、珍视和重视的知道区分开来。尽你最大的努力将这个问题与所有这些取向区分开来,然后问你自己,“我真正知道什么?”你必须不断审视你对这个问题的任何回答,看看它们是否代表你的信念或假设,或者是其他人甚至是整个人类的信念或假设。

THREE TIMES TODAY, FOR 10 MINUTES EACH, ask this question and think very seriously about your response and about the meaning of this question, “What do I really know?”

今天三次,每次10分钟,问这个问题并认真思考你的回答以及这个问题的意义,“我真正知道什么?”
