STEP 104 GOD KNOWS MORE ABOUT ME THAN I DO.

God does know more about you than you do. That must be obvious if you have considered yourself honestly. And yet consider the implications of this. If God knows more about you than you do, then would not God’s evaluation be something that you would want to learn to investigate? Of course it would. And would not your evaluations of yourself be necessarily in error? In this alone you have sinned, for sin is only error. Error calls for correction, not condemnation. You would condemn yourself and think that God would then follow your example and render to you a greater condemnation. That is why people have made God in their image, and that is why you must unlearn what you have made, so that you may find what you know and so that your creations in this world may be for good and have lasting value.

上帝确实比你更了解你自己。如果你诚实地审视自己，这一点应该是显而易见的。然而，考虑一下这其中的含义。如果上帝比你更了解你自己，那么上帝的评估不是你想要学习并研究的吗？当然是的。那么你对自己的评估必然是错误的吗？仅在这一点上你就已经犯了罪，因为罪只不过是错误。错误需要纠正，而不是谴责。你会谴责自己，并认为上帝会效仿你的例子，对你进行更大的谴责。这就是为什么人们按照自己的形象创造了上帝，也是为什么你必须去忘掉你所创造的经验，这样你才能找到你所知道的，并让你在这个世界上的创造是有益且有持久价值的。

God knows more about you than you do. Do not pretend you can create yourself, for you have already been created and that which has been genuinely created is far greater and happier than the life that you have realized thus far. It is your unhappiness that is bringing you to truth, for it is driving you to a genuine resolution. This, of course, is true.

上帝比你更了解你自己。不要假装你可以创造自己，因为你已经被创造了，而且真正被创造的内识远比你迄今为止所认识到的生命要伟大和幸福。正是你的不幸福把你带到了真理面前，因为它正在驱使你寻找真正的解决方案。这当然是事实。

On the hour repeat this statement and consider it seriously. As you do so, observe the world around you in order to attempt to learn of the meaning of today’s idea in the world. In your longer practice sessions in stillness, allow your mind to become quiet so that it may learn to enjoy its greatness. Give it this opportunity for freedom, and it will give freedom to you in return.

每小时重复这一声明并认真思考。在你这样做时，观察周围的世界，以尝试学习今天的理念在世界中的意义。在你较长时间的静修练习中，让你的心灵安静下来，以便它能享受其伟大。给它这个自由的机会，它将回报你自由。
