STEP 42 REVIEW

IN YOUR REVIEW TODAY, review all of the instructions given in the past week and your experiences of practice. Take special care today to see how deeply and how carefully you are practicing. Make sure that you are not changing or adjusting the lessons to meet your tastes or expectations. Remember that you need only follow the curriculum to receive its true rewards. Your part is small. Our part is great. We give the means. You need only follow them, in faith and in true expectation. In doing this, you will develop patience, discernment, trust, consistency and self-worth. Why self-worth? Because you must value yourself highly to allow yourself to approach the great gifts of Knowledge. Nothing else will undo self-hatred and self-doubt more expediently and more completely than receiving the gifts that are meant for you.

在今天的回顾中,审视过去一周所给出的所有指导以及你的实践经验。特别注意今天你练习的深度和仔细程度。确保你没有改变或调整课程以满足你的口味或期望。记住,你只需要遵循课程以获得真正的回报。你的作用很小。我们的作用很大。我们提供手段。你只需信心满满地跟随它们。通过这样做,你将培养出耐心、洞察力、信任、一致性和自我价值感。为什么要自我价值感?因为你必须高度重视自己,才能让自己接近属于你的伟大礼物。没有任何事情比接收那些为你准备的礼物更快地、更彻底地解除自我厌恶和自我怀疑。

THEREFORE, IN YOUR ONE LONG PRACTICE PERIOD TODAY, review the past week of practice. Without judgment, look and see what has been offered, what you have done and what can possibly be done to deepen your practice so that you may receive its benefits more directly. If you are having difficulty, recognize the problems and attempt to correct them. Give the week ahead greater involvement. In doing so, you will correct self-doubt and confusion merely by directing your will.

因此,在今天的一个长时间练习期间,回顾过去一周的练习。不带评判地看看已经提供了什么,你做了什么,以及可能做些什么来加深你的练习,使你能够更直接地获得其益处。如果你遇到困难,认识到问题并尝试加以纠正。让未来一周更加投入。通过这样做,你将通过引导自己的意志纠正自我怀疑和困惑。
