STEP 108 HAPPINESS IS SOMETHING I MUST LEARN AGAIN.

All things must now be re-evaluated. All things must now be seen anew, for there is looking with Knowledge and there is looking without Knowledge. They yield different results. They encourage different evaluations and different responses. We have said that happiness is not a form of behavior, for it is much deeper than this. Therefore, do not attempt to use this idea to win favor with others or to demonstrate to yourself that you are happier than you actually are. We do not want to put a veneer of behavior upon your current experience. We want to guide you to that experience which is genuine to your nature, which expresses your nature and which contributes your nature to life.

现在所有关系都必须重新评估。所有关系都必须重新审视，因为有内识的观察和没有内识的观察会产生不同的结果。它们鼓励不同的评估和不同的回应。我们已经说过，幸福不是一种行为形式，因为它比这要深得多。因此，不要试图利用这个理念去博取他人的好感，或者向自己证明你比实际更幸福。我们不希望在你当前的经验上加上一层行为的表象。我们希望引导你到那种真正符合你自然性的体验，能够表达你的自然性并将你的自然性贡献给生命的经历。

Learn, then, again about happiness. In your two practice periods, engage your mind in investigation. Consider your ideas about happiness and the forms of behavior you think they must represent. Think of all the ways you have attempted to be happier than you are. Think of all the expectations and requirements you have placed upon yourself to be happy and to prove to yourself and to others your worth. As you recognize these things, realize that without this attempt, happiness will arise upon its own, for you are naturally happy. Without restraint, your happiness will arise upon its own, without your imposing it upon your mind and upon your body. Without your imposition, happiness will arise on its own. Think upon this today, but do not be content with simple conclusions, for you are a beginning student of Knowledge and great conclusions come later.

那么，重新学习幸福。在今天的两个练习期内，让你的心灵进行探索。思考你关于幸福的理念以及你认为它们必须表现的行为形式。想想所有你试图让自己比实际更快乐的方式。想想你为自己设定的所有期望和要求，以证明自己和他人的价值。当你意识到这些行为时，认识到没有这种企图，幸福会自行产生，因为你本质上是幸福的。没有束缚，你的幸福会自行产生，无需你强加在你的心灵和身体之上。没有你的强加，幸福会自行产生。今天思考这一点，但不要满足于简单的结论，因为你是内识的初学者，重大的结论会在以后出现。
