第一百阶:今天,我是内识的初学者
STEP 100 TODAY I AM A BEGINNING STUDENT OF KNOWLEDGE.
You are a beginning student of Knowledge. Accept this starting place. Do not claim more for yourself, for you do not understand the road to Knowledge. On the road to greater assumptions you may have garnered great rewards for yourself, but that leads in another direction from the road to Knowledge, where all things that are unreal are relinquished and all things that are genuine are embraced. The road to Knowledge is not a road that people have imagined for themselves, for it is not born of imagination.
你是内识的初学者。接受这个起点。不要为自己宣称更多,因为你不理解通往内识的道路。在追求更大成就的道路上,你可能已经为自己赢得了很多奖赏,但那条道路与通往内识的道路不同。在通往内识的道路上,一切不真实的关系都会被放弃,一切真实的关系都会被拥抱。通往内识的道路不是人们为自己想象的道路,因为它不是由想象而生的。
Therefore, be a beginning student of Knowledge. Upon the hour repeat this statement and give it serious consideration. Regardless of your view of yourself, whether it is exalted or diminished, no matter what you have done before, no matter what you consider your accomplishments to be, you are a beginning student of Knowledge. As a beginning student you will want to learn everything that can be learned, and you will not have the burden of defending that which you think you have claimed already. This will ease your burden in life considerably and give you the possibility for true motivation and enthusiasm, which are lacking now.
因此,成为内识的初学者。在每个小时重复这句话,并认真思考它。无论你对自己的看法如何,无论是崇高还是卑微,无论你之前做了什么,无论你认为自己的成就是什么,你都是内识的初学者。作为一名初学者,你会想要学习一切可以学习的关系,你不会有负担去捍卫你认为自己已经拥有的关系。这会极大地减轻你生命中的负担,并给你带来真实的动机和热情,这是现在所缺乏的。
Be a beginning student of Knowledge. Begin your two longer practice periods with this affirmation and allow yourself to sit in stillness and to receive. Without petitions, without questions and without expectations or demands, allow your mind to be quiet, for you are a beginning student of Knowledge and do not yet know what to ask for or what to expect.
成为内识的初学者。以这一肯定开始你的两个较长的练习时段,并允许自己静坐接收。不带任何请求,不带任何问题,不带任何期待或要求,允许你的心灵安静下来,因为你是内识的初学者,还不知道该请求什么或期待什么。
Practice 100: Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly practice.
练习 100: 两个 30 分钟的练习时段。每小时练习。
