STEP 17 TODAY I WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH.

THE DESIRE TO HEAR THE TRUTH is something that is both a process and the result of true preparation. Developing the ability to hear and the desire to hear will yield to you that which you seek. The truth is utterly beneficial to you, but at first it can be quite shocking and disappointing to your other plans and goals. This you must risk if you wish to have the certainty and the empowerment that the truth will bring to you. The truth always brings resolution of conflict, always provides an experience of self, always gives you a sense of current reality and always provides direction for you to move forward.

渴望听见真理既是一个过程，也是真实准备的结果。发展听见的能力和听见的欲望将使你获得你所寻求的内识。真理对你是完全有益的，但起初，它可能会让你的其他计划和目标感到震惊和失望。如果你希望拥有真理带来的确定性和赋权，你必须冒这个风险。真理总是带来冲突的解决，总是提供一种自我的体验，总是给你一种当前现实的感觉，总是为你指明前进的方向。

TODAY, IN YOUR THREE 15-MINUTE PRACTICE PERIODS, practice listening to the truth, trying to listen beyond the mind and emotions. Again do not be concerned if all you hear is the rushing about of your own thoughts. Remember, you are developing listening. That is the most important thing. Like exercising a muscle in the body, you are exercising the faculty of mind called listening. Therefore, this day practice listening, taking these practice periods to devote yourself so that you may feel the truth arising within you.

今天，在你三个15分钟的练习时段中，练习聆听真理，试图超越心灵和情感去聆听。再次提醒，如果你听到的只是你自己思想的喧嚣，请不要担心。记住，你在发展聆听的能力。这是最重要的。就像锻炼身体中的肌肉一样，你在锻炼称为聆听的心灵能力。因此，今天练习聆听，在这些练习时段中全身心投入，以便你能感受到真理正在你的内心深处升起。
