STEP 94 MY FREEDOM IS TO FIND MY PURPOSE.

What value can freedom possibly have except to enable you to find your purpose and to fulfill it? Without purpose, freedom is merely the right to be chaotic, the right to live without external restraint. But without external restraint, you will merely act out the harshness of your internal restraint. Is this an improvement? Overall it is not an improvement, though it can lead to opportunities for self-discovery.

自由可能具有怎样的价值，除非它能够让你找到并实现你的目的？没有目的，自由只是混乱的权利，只是没有外部约束地生活的权利。但是没有外部约束，你只会表现出你内在约束的严酷性。这是改善吗？总体而言，这不是一种改善，尽管它可以带来自我发现的机会。

DO NOT CALL CHAOS FREEDOM, for this is not freedom. Do not think that because others do not limit you that you are in an exalted state. Realize that your freedom is to enable you to find your purpose and to fulfill it. Understanding freedom in this way will enable you to utilize all aspects of your life—your current situation, your relationships, your involvements, your successes, your errors, your attributes and your limitations—everything on behalf of discovering your purpose. For when a greater purpose begins to express itself through you in a manner that you can recognize and accept, you will feel at last that your life is being completely integrated. You will no longer be separate individuals within yourself, but one person, whole and unified, with all aspects of yourself engaged in serving this one purpose.

不要称混乱为自由，因为这不是自由。不要认为因为其他人不限制你，你就处于一种崇高的状态。要意识到你的自由是为了让你找到并实现你的目的。以这种方式理解自由，将使你能够使用生命的各个方面——你当前的情况、你的人际关系、你的参与、你的成功、你的错误、你的属性和你的局限——一切都为了发现你的目的。当一个更伟大的目的开始通过你表达出来，以一种你可以识别和接受的方式时，你最终会感到你的生命得到了完全的整合。你将不再在自己的内部分裂，而是一个人，完整且统一，所有方面都参与服务于这个目的。

The freedom to commit errors will not redeem you. Errors can be committed under any circumstances, and freedom can be found under any circumstances. Therefore, seek to learn about freedom. Knowledge will express itself when it is unfettered and when you as a person have developed sufficiently to be able to carry its great mission in the world. Your Spiritual Teachers, who abide with you beyond your visual sight, are here to initiate you into Knowledge. They have their own method for doing this, for they understand the true meaning of freedom and its true purpose in the world.

犯错的自由不会拯救你。错误可以在任何情况下犯下，自由也可以在任何情况下找到。因此，寻求学习自由。内识会在不受束缚时表达自己，而当你作为一个人已经足够发展以承载它在世界上的伟大使命时，你的精神老师，他们超越你视觉视野的存在，正在这里引导你进入内识。他们有自己的方法，因为他们理解自由的真实含义及其在世界上的真实目的。

Therefore, in your practice periods We once again affirm the power of this statement and give you two opportunities to experience it deeply within yourself. You do not need to try to speculate about this mentally, but simply relax so that it can be experienced. Focus your mind completely to allow it to experience the greatness of the presence of God that is with you and that is within you, for this is looking in the direction of freedom where freedom truly exists.

因此，在你的练习期间，我们再次确认这一陈述的力量，并给你两次机会在内心深处体验它。你不需要试图在心智上去推测，而是简单地放松以便体验。完全专注于让自己感受到上帝的伟大存在，因为这是朝向真正自由的方向。
