STEP 18 TODAY I FEEL THE TRUTH ARISING WITHIN MYSELF.

THE TRUTH MUST BE FULLY EXPERIENCED. It is not merely an idea; it is not merely an image, though images and ideas may accompany it. It is an experience, and so it is something that is deeply felt. It may manifest in slightly different ways for those who are beginning to penetrate it, but nonetheless it will arise. It is something you must feel. To have a feeling orientation, your mind must be still. Truth is something you will feel with your entire body, with your entire being.

真理必须被完全体验。它不能仅仅是一个想法；它不能仅仅是一个图像，尽管图像和想法可能伴随着真理。它是一种体验，因此是深刻感受到的经历。对于那些开始触及真理的人来说，它可能以略有不同的方式显现，但无论如何真理都会升起。这是你必须感受到的体验。要有感觉的定向，你的心灵必须静止。真理是你将用你整个身体、你的整个存在来感受的体验。

KNOWLEDGE DOES NOT SPEAK TO YOU AT EVERY MOMENT, but it always holds a message for you. To come into the proximity of Knowledge means that you become more and more like Knowledge itself—more whole, more consistent, more honest, more devoted, more concentrated, more selfdisciplined, more compassionate and more self-loving. All of these qualities are developed as you approach that which is the source of these qualities.

内识并不是在每一个时刻都对你讲话，但它总是为你保留一条讯息。接近内识意味着你变得越来越像内识本身——更完整，更一致，更诚实，更投入，更集中，更自律，更有同情心，更自爱。所有这些品质都是在你接近这些品质的源头时发展起来的。

IT IS IN THIS DIRECTION THAT YOU WILL PRACTICE moving today as you feel the truth arising within yourself. This will join all aspects of you, giving you a uniform experience of yourself. In your three 15-minute practice periods, give your full attention to feeling the truth arising within yourself. Practice in stillness, and do not be discouraged if it is difficult at first. Simply practice and you will proceed.

今天，当你感受到真理在你内心深处萌发时，你将朝着这个方向前进。这将结合你的各个方面，给你一个统一的自我体验。在三个15分钟的练习时间里，全神贯注地感受你自己内心深处产生的真理。在静止练习中，如果一开始有困难，也不要气馁。只需练习，你就会继续前进。

THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS WELL, without doubt or hesitation, pursue your true goal in life. From this true goal will come all of the important things that you will need to accomplish and the great power of vision and discernment that will allow you to find those individuals that you have come into the world to find.

在这一天里，你也要毫不怀疑、毫不犹豫地追求你真实的生命目标。从这个真实的目标出发，你将完成所有需要完成的重要事情，你将拥有远见和辨别力的伟大力量，让你找到那些你来到这个世界上想要找到的人。
