STEP 83 I VALUE KNOWLEDGE BEYOND ALL THINGS.

If you could experience the depth and power of this statement, it would free you from all forms of bondage. It would erase all conflicts in your thinking. It would end completely all that troubles you and perplexes you. You would not view relationships either as a form of domination or as a form of punishment. This would give you an entirely new basis of understanding in your participation with others. It would give you a frame of reference within which you would be able to develop yourself mentally and physically, keeping a greater perspective as you do so. What has disappointed you but the misappropriation of your abilities? What grieves and angers you but the misappropriation of other people’s abilities?

如果你能体验到这句话的深度和力量,你就能摆脱一切形式的束缚。它会消除你思维中的所有冲突。它将彻底终结你所有的烦恼和困惑。你不会再把人际关系视为一种支配或惩罚。这将为你与他人的交往提供一个全新的理解基础。它将为你提供一个参照系,让你在身心发展的同时,保持更高的视野。除了能力被滥用,还有什么让你失望?除了挪用他人的能力,还有什么让你悲伤和愤怒?

Value Knowledge. It is beyond your understanding. Follow Knowledge. It guides you in ways that you have never experienced. Trust Knowledge. It gives you back to yourself. Trust comes before understanding, always. Participation comes before trust, always. Therefore, participate with Knowledge.

重视内识。它超越了你的理解。追随内识。它以你从未体验过的方式指引你。信任内识。它让你回归自我。信任永远先于理解。参与永远先于信任。因此,与内识一起参与。

Remind yourself of your affirmation upon the hour. Try to be very consistent. Do not forget today to emphasize that you value Knowledge above all other things. In your two meditation practices, give this statement as an affirmation and then, in stillness, allow yourself to receive. Do not use these practices to gain answers or information, but allow yourself to become quiet, for a quiet mind can learn all things and know all things. Words are but one form of communication. You are now learning to communicate, for your mind is now opening to a greater association.

每小时提醒自己肯定。尽量保持一致。不要忘记今天强调你珍视内识胜过一切。在两次冥想练习中,将这个声明作为肯定,并在静心中,让自己接受。不要利用这些练习来获取答案或信息,而是让自己保持安静,因为安静的心灵可以学到一切并知道一切。言语只是沟通的一种形式。你现在正在学会沟通,因为你的心灵现在正在向一个更大的联系敞开。
