STEP 29 I WILL OBSERVE MYSELF TODAY TO LEARN OF KNOWLEDGE.

ON THIS SPECIAL DAY OF PRACTICE, observe yourself throughout the day, maintaining awareness of your thoughts and behavior as much as possible. To develop this quality of self-observation, you must be as free of judgment as possible, for judgment disables you from being observant. You must study yourself as if you were someone else with whom you can be far more objective.

在这个特殊的练习日，全天观察自己，尽可能地保持对自己思想和行为的觉察。为了发展这种自我观察的品质，你必须尽可能地不做判断，因为判断使你无法观察。你必须研究你自己，就好像你是别人，这样你才能更客观地看待自己。

WE SHALL PRACTICE ON THE HOUR TODAY. Each hour you will need to check in to see your thoughts and to observe your current behavior. This constant self-checking will enable you to become far more involved in your current experience and will allow your Knowledge to exercise its beneficial influence upon you to a far greater degree. Knowledge knows what you need and knows how to serve you, but you must learn how to receive. In time, you must learn how to give as well so that you may receive more. Your receiving is important because it enables you to give, and giving is the essence of fulfillment in this world. But you cannot give from an impoverished state. Therefore, your giving must be genuine, born of the overflowing receptivity that you have cultivated within yourself, within your relationships with others and with life.

我们将在今天每小时进行练习。每个小时你都需要检查自己的思想并观察自己当前的行为。这种持续的自我检查将使你能够更深入地参与到当前的经历中，并将允许你的内识更大程度地发挥其有益的影响。内识知道你需要什么并知道如何为你服务，但你必须学会如何接受。随着时间的推移，你也必须学会如何给予，以便你能接受更多。你的接受很重要，因为它使你能够给予，而给予是在这个世界上实现自我满足的本质。但是，你不能从一个贫瘠的状态给予。因此，你的给予必须是真诚的，源于你内心溢出的接受能力，在你与他人和生命的关系中培养出来。

EACH PRACTICE PERIOD NEED ONLY TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES but should be given your full attention. You need not close your eyes to do this, though if it is appropriate, it will be helpful. You may practice in the middle of a conversation with another. In fact, there are very few circumstances that will prevent this moment of introspection. In practice you simply ask yourself, “How do I feel?” and “What am I doing now?” That is all. Then feel if there is something you must do that you are not doing. If there are no corrections to be made, continue on with what you are doing. If there are corrections to be made, make them as expediently as possible. Allow your inner guidance to influence you, which it will do if you are not governed by impulses, fear or ambition. Observe yourself this day.

每个实践时段只需要几分钟，但应该给予你的全部注意力。你不需要闭上眼睛来做这个，虽然如果合适的话，这将是有帮助的。你可以在与他人交谈的过程中进行实践。实际上，很少有情况会阻止这一时刻的内省。在实践中，你只需问自己：“我感觉怎么样？”和“我现在在做什么？”就是这样。然后感觉是否有你必须做而没有做的事情。如果没有需要纠正的地方，请继续你正在做的事情。如果有需要纠正的地方，请尽快进行纠正。让你的内在指导影响你，如果你不受冲动、恐惧或野心的支配，它将这样做。今天观察自身。
