STEP 43 MY WILL IS TO KNOW GOD.

YOUR WILL IS TO KNOW GOD. That is your true will. Any other desire or motivation is to escape this, which represents your will. It is your will that has become fearful to you. You are afraid of what you know and most deeply feel. This leads you to find refuge in other things that do not represent you, and in this you lose your identity and attempt to construct an identity that is related to those things which you have sought for escape. In isolation you are miserable, but in relationship happiness is regained.

你的意愿是知道上帝。那是你真实的意愿。任何其他欲望或动机都是为了逃避这一点，这代表了你的意志。你害怕你所知道和最深刻感受到的意愿。这导致你寻求在其他事物中寻找避难所，这些事物并不代表你，通过这样做，你失去了自我身份，并试图建立一个与你寻求逃避的事物相关的身份。在孤独中，你是可怜的，但在关系中，幸福重新获得。

YOUR WILL IS TO KNOW GOD. Do not be afraid of your will. You are created by God. God’s will is to know you. Your will is to know God. There is no other will. All motivations other than this are born merely of confusion and fear. To know God gives God power and gives you power as well.

你的意愿是知道上帝。不要害怕你的意愿。你是由上帝创造的。上帝的意愿是知道你。你的意愿是知道上帝。没有其他意愿。除此之外的所有动机都只是混乱和恐惧所生。通过知道上帝的力量，来给予你力量。

IN YOUR TWO PRACTICE PERIODS TODAY, in silent meditation, practice feeling the strength of your own will. Do not let fear and doubt cloud your mind. You need not try to feel the will of God. It is simply there. It only requires your attention for you to recognize it. Therefore, practice deeply by simply being present to this experience.

在今天的两个实践时段中，在静默的冥想中，练习感受你自己意愿的力量。不要让恐惧和怀疑混淆你的心。你不需要努力去感受上帝的意愿。它就在那里。你只需要注意到它就可以了。因此，通过简单地存在于这种体验中，深入练习。
