第一百零三阶:我被上帝所荣耀
STEP 103 I AM HONORED BY GOD.
You are honored by God, and yet this statement can inflame your sense of uncertainty, arouse your sense of guilt, confuse your sense of pride and stimulate all manner of conflict that actually exists within you now. In the past you have attempted to be something unreal, and it has failed you. Now you are afraid to be anything for fear that failure will pursue you once again. Thus, greatness appears to be littleness and littleness appears to be greatness, and all things are seen backwards or reversed from their true meaning.
你受到上帝的荣耀,然而这句话会激起你的不确定感,唤起你的负罪感,混淆你的自豪感,激发你内心深处的各种冲突。过去,你曾试图成为某种虚幻的人,但你失败了。现在,你什么都不敢做了,生怕失败会再次找上你。因此,伟大看似渺小,渺小看似伟大,一切关系都被颠倒或扭曲了其真正的意义。
You are honored by God whether you can accept this or not. It is true regardless of human evaluation, for only things that are beyond evaluation are true. We are taking you to that which is beyond evaluation, which will be the greatest discovery possible in this life or in any life.
无论你能否接受,你都是上帝的荣耀。无论人类如何评价,这都是真实的,因为只有在评价之外的关系才是真实的。我们将带你进入那评价之外的世界,这将是你今生或任何生命中最伟大的发现。
Upon the hour repeat this statement and consider it seriously. In your two practice periods, allow your mind once again to be still and receptive so that you may learn to receive the honor that God has for you. Surely, this honor must be directed towards a part of you that you are barely aware of. It is not your behavior that is honored. It is not your idealism that is honored. It is not your beliefs, your assumptions, your demands or your fears. These may be for good or for ill. These may serve you or betray you. But honor is reserved for something greater, which you are now learning to recognize.
每小时重复这句话,并认真思考。在你的两次练习中,让你的心灵再次安静下来并接纳,这样你就能学会接收上帝给你的荣誉。当然,这种荣誉一定是针对你几乎没有意识到的一部分的。获得荣誉的不是你的行为。获得荣誉的不是你的理想主义。它不是你的信仰、假设、要求或恐惧。这些可能是好的,也可能是坏的。它们可能为你服务,也可能背叛你。但荣誉是为更伟大的关系保留的,你现在正在学习认识它。
