STEP 35 REVIEW

THIS REVIEW WILL GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY to learn something of The Greater Community Way of Knowledge. In two 30-minute practice periods, review your prior week’s instructions and experiences in practice. Do this with as little judgment as possible. Merely look and see what was instructed, what you did and what the result was. This objective review will give you the greatest access to insight and understanding with a minimum of pain and self-abuse. You are learning now to become objective about your life without repressing the content of your emotions. Instead of attempting to destroy one aspect of yourself, you are simply attempting to cultivate another.

这次回顾将为你提供一个机会,让你学习一些关于大社区内识之路的知识。在两个30分钟的练习时段中,回顾你前一周的指导和练习经验。尽可能少地进行评判,只是观察和了解被指导的内容、你所做的事以及结果如何。这种客观的回顾将以最小的痛苦和自我虐待,为你提供最大的洞察力和理解。你现在正在学习如何在不压抑情感内容的情况下,对自己的生活保持客观。你不是试图摧毁自己的某一方面,而是简单地尝试培养另一方面。

THEREFORE, IN YOUR REVIEW, use this as a guidepost: “I will look, but I will not judge.” In this way, you will be able to recognize things. Remember how much easier it may be for you to have insight about another’s life and how little you may have about your own. Greater objectivity is possible with others because you are not attempting to use their life for any specific purpose and the extent to which you are, the less able you will be to understand them, their nature, their development or their destiny. Therefore, the less you attempt to use your life, the more you will be able to understand it, appreciate it and work with its intrinsic mechanism for your greater advancement.

因此,在你的回顾中,使用这个指导原则:“我会观察,但我不会评判。”通过这种方式,你将能够认识到事物。请记住,对别人的生活有洞察力对你来说可能会更容易,而你对自己的生命却知之甚少。由于你不是出于任何特定目的利用他们的生命,你对他人的客观性可能更强,而你越是这样做,你就越难理解他们、他们的本质、他们的发展或他们的命运。因此,你越少试图利用自己的生命,你就越能理解它、欣赏它,并与其内在机制合作,以促进你更大的进步。
